Chapter 637: Proof of Growth, Two Playwrights(1/2)
After Wolf King Hoz announced the start of the selection challenge, the Kania warriors who were still a little nervous immediately put aside their worries and looked at the opponents they wanted to challenge with burning eyes.
The senior warriors who were 'named' showed either excited, cruel, or violent smiles, pulled off their animal skin shawls, and strode towards the ice field outside the battle fort.
The same as in previous years, no one dared to challenge Hodes, who was the Wolf King. This made Hodes, who was sitting on the throne and sipping strong wine, seem a little disappointed and bored.

Under his watch, battles began one after another that were either boring or swift.
Facts have proved that it is almost impossible to challenge these experienced wolf guards beyond the level. Some battles can almost only be described as unilateral devastation. What's more, due to the large number of challengers, gradually the number of challengers is increasing. Under the provocation of the selectors, there were scenes of fights between ten and even hundreds of people.
However, the selection criteria of the Sixth Wild Wolf Regiment are also completely different from other groups. They rely on their own eyes for discovering talents. They are looking for talent, combat intuition and on-the-spot disposition, etc. A series of criteria that affect the 'development ceiling' .
Originally, Hotz didn't have much hope for this undisciplined new recruit, but soon, an unusually tall young man with a silver-white mane on his neck caught his attention.
The Instructor of the Deep Hell Demon of Wolf Fang Castle naturally noticed the Wolf King’s gaze, and immediately bowed his head and said:
"Your Majesty Hoz, his name is Fenris. He originally had no name. This name, or nickname, was given to him by the Titans."
"Oh? Do you have any explanation?" Hotz became interested.
Fenris means giant wolf in Titan language.
This is a species unique to the Carnian Icefield. They are extremely large and powerful. If they encounter a group of Carnian Icefield Giant Wolves, even the lone Titan will have to avoid the edge for a while.
Precisely because of this, Hoz tamed a group of Fenrisian dragons in his early years and raised them around the Wolf Fang Castle. Now, there are two of them lying next to his throne.
The devil instructor reported:
"It is said that he was abandoned by his Titan clan because he was too small when he was born. However, he did not die after being abandoned on the ice field. His loud cry in the wind and snow actually attracted the attention of the Titans of Kania. The arrival of the wolf.
"And the amazing thing is that the female wolf did not choose to eat it, but brought it back to the clan and raised it together with her newly born wolf pups.
"Eleven years ago, Fenris and his seven wolves broke into our Wolf Fang Castle storage warehouse and stole a batch of demon meat with the intention of taking it back to the wolves of the same race. However, their whereabouts were discovered by the guards.
"Just when they were surrounded, the female wolf burst in and tried to take away the wolves, but I was shot with a crossbow arrow.
"Fenris, who witnessed this scene, actually rushed towards me. His strength was astonishing, and he almost bit through my neck.
"And he refused to give in until they were all captured. His roar echoed over the Wolf Fang Castle for three days and four nights, so much so that the giant Carnian wolves in most of the ice field gathered over us, Wolf Fang. The fort was surrounded.
"Of course, we immediately organized an army to surround them. They are still our best source of mounts in Avernus.
"And Fenris also became a member of Kania's youth training warriors under our coercion and inducement.
"Unyielding, tenacious, and talented. As long as some of his wildness can be tempered, I think he will satisfy your Excellency."
This devil who was eager to please Shangfeng didn't know that the information he brought put the jackal commander into some kind of strange trance.
Born in the Titan clan, he is too 'skinny' and has an innate affinity with wolves. More than ten years ago
Nineteen years ago, he also came to Cania once. Not only him, but also his old friends the tauren Ren and the barbarian Pantos were traveling with him.
How can we get together with old friends without strong drinks?
So they followed the tradition of Kania, starting from competing over their drinking capacity, then their food intake, and finally started bragging to each other about the most sexy member of the opposite sex they had ever slept with.
At that time, Hotz, who was drunk, directly pushed down a passing Titan while Ren and Pantos looked at him with dumbfounded admiration.
So could it be that the child named Fenris in front of him is actually his Hotz's seed?
Thinking of the possibility of this trouble, Hotz's face immediately twitched.
The child is not the problem originally, but when the child has strong talents, he should be happy.
As the leader of the Gnoll clan, Hotz has had many members of the opposite sex who are not limited to Gnolls in his career of more than a hundred years, and has also raised many children.
But the problem is that in his perception, it seems that dragons and titans have been mortal enemies since ancient times.
And he served under the crown of the Silver Dragon Grand Duke Tiberius, and was even more honored to be given a trace of the noble Silver Dragon bloodline by his master.
But now this bloodline seems to have been tainted by himself.
The dragon's blood can be passed on to anyone, but if it is passed on to a Titan, will it bring shame to the owner?
Thinking of this, Hotz fell into an unprecedented entanglement.
Looking at the Wolf King who was deep in thought, the devil instructor immediately fell silent and began to wonder if he had done something wrong.
At this moment, a burst of heavy footsteps sounded from outside Wolf Castle.
A group of wolf guards and sergeants followed the sound.
I saw a tall figure wearing a shabby robe, slowly walking into the Wolf's Castle tunnel where the north wind howled.
Every step you take will leave a footprint of sunken and condensed ice behind you.
The robe covered half of his face, and in his hand was a rusty iron staff commonly used by devil wanderers.
But his sharp eyes still revealed his strength.
The giant Carnian wolves roaming outside the Wolf Fang Castle howled and retreated in front of the intruders.
The youth training warriors and selectors who were originally fighting against each other also stopped fighting in this inexplicable atmosphere and all looked at the intruder.
Hotz leaned forward from the throne, and the two giant wolves that were curled up at his ankles also stood up. One of them was grinding its bared teeth, while his brother chose to curl up wisely aside.
, the dim light of the torch made the shadows inside the castle burn and flicker.
Could it be the devil's minions of Mephistopheles, the eighth lord of Binas?
So a group of wolf guards who were still holding barbecues and wine glasses put down what they were doing and gathered around.
Obviously, they did not welcome this strange visitor who disturbed their selection ceremony.
The visitor approached the tall Wolf King on the Ice Throne and looked into the eyes of Hoz Leman Russ with a smile.
"Stop! Rude stranger!"
Two wolf guards were about to intercept.
"Everyone, stand down!" The Wolf King's roar echoed throughout the fortress.
Hotz looked at the visitor with bright eyes, looking a little excited. He was about to kneel down to pay respects, but was stopped by the look in the visitor's eyes.
The visitor had a nostalgic look on his face and said with emotion:
"Hotz Leman Russ, how many years ago has it been since you first raised your sword towards me and bravely charged?"
"How could I forget, that was a story from more than a century ago."
Hotz let out a sigh that seemed to be yearning and reminiscing.
"How about you, do you still have the guts to challenge me again and let me see what you have achieved over the years?"
Oops!
What a loud tone!
The eyes of the soldiers in the fortress immediately changed when they looked at the visitor. Could it be that he was an old acquaintance of the Wolf King?
And when he heard that the visitor actually asked the Wolf King if he had the courage to challenge him, the atmosphere immediately became heated.
Boom! Boom boom boom!
There was a sound of banging shields in the hall, seeming to laugh at the visitor's overestimation of his abilities.
After being promoted to a legend after the Moonsea War, he died in battle in the Material Realm, obtained a devil's body in Avernus, and underwent a second Ultramarine surgery at the First Magic Research Institute in Grand Perri to implant the blood of the Silver Dragon.
The jackal leader, who has successively broken through the boundaries of race, talent, and even life and death, has shown an almost terrifying growth rate.
As early as thirty years ago, he boldly challenged the former Grand Duke of Avernus, Bayer, but was defeated.
Ten years later, when faced with another challenge from the Wolf King, Bayer actually avoided it, attracting the sighs of all the devils.
With the Wolf King's terror, there are almost no opponents in the entire Baator Hell except for those long-famous lords.
Hotz looked at the other person's humanoid form, and his heart immediately moved. Then he glanced at the hybrid Titan sitting on the floor in the corner of the hall, licked his tongue and said:
"If I'm lucky enough to get your approval, can you agree to my request?"
After hearing Hotz's reserved honorific, someone in the crowd finally became serious and reserved.
"Of course." The visitor agreed with a smile.
For an instant, the entire hall became still.
No one dared to vent their anger loudly. The Wolf King suddenly stood up from the throne, pulled out the giant blade inserted next to the throne, and pushed the stone platform in front of him. Bloody food crumbs fell like a waterfall, and he walked into the cold hall.
stone ground.
The soldiers in the hall quickly retreated to both sides.
Hotz took a deep breath, took a glass of strong wine from the stone platform on one side, poured it into his mouth, poured the rest on his head, shook his head and snorted, then put the bottle in his hand with red eyes.
The giant blade swung in a circle and rushed toward the opponent with rapid strides.
At that moment, Hotz seemed to see the opponent's shadow reflected on the rock wall magnified infinitely, like a monster that covered the sky and the sun and could swallow up the entire field of vision!
With the roar that shook the hall, the advancing Wolf King jumped up and slashed the opponent's face with the giant blade in his hand!
puff!
Facing the oncoming attack, the visitor let go of the iron rod in his hand, grabbed his shabby robe and threw it aside.
