The Ge family army slowly moved along the crescent-shaped lake.
Having successfully retreated from the battlefield, the burning fighting spirit still lingered in these people's chests.
Although they didn't conquer the Pei family in the end, this battle had thoroughly shown their might, and the Ge family members were excitedly talking.
"This battle was so satisfying. Those damn three families dared to cause trouble for us, the Ge family? They were looking for death!"
"Hmph, the Zheng, Bei, and Pei families are all nothing special."
"Now the camps of the Bei and Zheng families have been captured by us, and the Pei family's casualties are very heavy. With this battle tonight, the Ge family will become famous in the Northern Plains!"
Fighting three families with the strength of one. Such achievements, such bravery, made the Gu Masters of the Ge family feel proud and honored from the bottom of their hearts.
"It's all thanks to Lord Wolf King Chang Shan Yin," a Gu Master sighed.
These words immediately resonated with the people around.
"Yes, that's right. If it weren't for the wolf pack fighting in the front, our Ge family would have suffered heavy losses."
"This is the power of an enslavement path Gu Master. No wonder many forces, even while tightening their belts, try to nurture one or two enslavement path Gu Masters."
"Lord Wolf King has become our supreme elder. Now we are one family."
"Yes, it's an honor. Having Lord Wolf King by our side!"
This battle elevated Fang Yuan's prestige in the eyes of the Ge family patriarch to a considerable height.
Fang Yuan sat back on the White-eyed Wolf's back, accompanied by the Ge family patriarch and a group of elders.
As the supreme elder, Fang Yuan had the authority to directly dismiss Ge Guang from his position as patriarch. Of course, Ge Guang was an obedient pawn, and Fang Yuan had no intention of replacing him.
The army first returned to the Zheng family camp. The Gu Masters left there had organized most of the supplies, forming a transport team of thirty Blue Field Slugs.
These slugs, commonly known as slug Gu, are like snails without shells.
It is a third-turn Gu, three times larger than an elephant, with a water-blue body covered in granular blue crystals. It is the best transport Gu.
These Blue Field Slug Gu are also very convenient to use.
They consume little true essence, and Gu Masters only need to directly "stuff" items into their bodies.
Blue Field Slug Gu have no attacking ability, but after "swallowing" items, their size becomes even larger.
Now these thirty Blue Field Slug Gu have grown to five times their original size. Even the Ten-thousand Wolf King is not half their size.
But even so, there was still a small portion of supplies in the Zheng family camp that couldn't be loaded at once, so it had to be temporarily left in the camp.
The remaining elder presented a preliminary inventory list.
Fang Yuan looked it over; it was indeed extremely rich.
"We're rich!" Ge Guang and the others were overjoyed after seeing it.
"We've struck it rich!"
"We've also plundered so many people; our Ge family will become a major family soon!"
"These days, we need to stay vigilant and strengthen our defenses to prevent neighboring forces from getting jealous."
"But how should we deal with these surrendering Gu Masters? According to past practice, they would be slave Gu Masters. But we don't have that many slave Gu."
The Ge family members began to worry again.
The Ge family was only a medium-sized family with a weak foundation. If it were a major family, its ability to digest the results would be much stronger.
A group of people was left to assist in defense, and they were instructed to abandon the Zheng family camp and actively retreat to preserve strength if the Pei family army approached.
The Ge family army continued its retreat with thirty Blue Field Slug Gu and a large number of captives.
After reaching the Bei family camp, the team stopped. When they set off again, the team's size had increased several times.
Finally, upon reaching the Ge family headquarters, the victorious warriors were warmly welcomed by the Ge family members.
Cheers resounded through the sky, and the dawn light illuminated every Ge family member's face. In contrast, the captives were either dejected or expressionless, forming a stark contrast.
Fang Yuan let out a light breath.
Throughout the retreat, he had been worried about the Pei family's pursuit.
"It seems Pei Yanfei was still concerned about his own family's safety and reluctant to use his troops, so he didn't attack again. Otherwise, the return journey would have been much more troublesome. Of course, this was mainly because I released the White-eyed Wolf, showing strength, creating the illusion that I still had combat power at the level of a Ten-thousand Beast King."
But in fact, Fang Yuan's White-eyed Wolf was only accelerated by using the Three Watches Gu. The White-eyed Wolf had no wild Gu parasites on its body.
This is a world of Gu. Without wild Gu on its body, the White-eyed Wolf couldn't even defeat a Thousand Wolf King.
