Reborn as a werewolf ancestor

It was May 20th, 728th year of Dilan Calendar.

In the lord's study at Eagle Castle, Kane received three pieces of good news today.

The first is Marcus. After lying in bed for a month, he finally recovered and left the medical room.

Next is Catherine. The group of recruits she trained are starting to look good. She plans to take them out to see blood in the next few days.

Finally, there is Sitz. He has been learning very fast recently. He obviously does not have a mentor to guide him, but he has successfully carved a fire spell mark into his own spell core.

Even today, he excitedly told Kane that he had successfully carved a healing spell into it.

Kane is very satisfied with these signs of prosperity in the territory.

Even he himself, after several days of repeated practice, became proficient in the new ability of partial werewolf transformation.

Taking out the Kingdom Times that had just been delivered yesterday, Kane took a sip of coffee and started reading.

[Shocking! The Silver Moon Army, which arrived in the royal capital a month ago, set off again yesterday, heading far to the west. 】

[Amazing! All the Dukes who came to the royal capital actually left at the same moment. 】

Kane frowned. Is this the kingdom preparing to declare war?

If that's the case, why didn't you receive a notification from the royal capital?

It is worth mentioning that the barony to which Kane now belongs is not governed by a duke or earl, but is given and governed by the king himself.

Unable to think of any results, Kane sighed and gave up guessing. No matter what, he and others had to intensify their training.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Kane said.

Who would come to see him at this time? Sitz, who came here most frequently, had been here as early as the morning.

The person who came was Catherine. Wearing leather armor, she opened the study door and walked in.

She looked at Kane and said, "Sir, I am going to take the recruits to the southern forest this afternoon to hunt for forest wolves."

Kane suddenly became interested and asked: "Oh, have you found the target?"

Catherine nodded: "Yes, sir, there is a forest wolf den in the southern forest at the moment."

"Will the Timberwolves be a little too difficult for these recruits?" Kane asked.

Catherine thought for a while and said: "Not really, rather, it's just right. Timber wolves, as extraordinary beasts between apprentices and first-level ones, thirty new recruits are just right to deal with them."

Only then did Kane agree: "Yes, I approve your action this time, provided that you also need to bring one person with you."

Catherine said with confidence: "Sir, don't worry, it doesn't matter if there are a few more people, I will protect their safety."

"Sits, my retinue, the only mage in our territory." Kane said.

Catherine was a little surprised and said: "It turns out it's him..."

Kane smiled and asked: "What's wrong? Don't you want to?"

Catherine shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect it. Isn't he still learning spell marks?"

"It seems that, Catherine, your information is a bit out of date. Sitz has successfully engraved the spell mark and became an official first-level mage."

Catherine praised: "The speed is so fast, it is worthy of the genius Marcus Knight said."

Kane continued: "You must have heard recently that the kingdom is going to declare war, right?"

"Yes, my lord," Catherine replied.

Kane sighed and said: "That's why I have to ask you to take him hunting with you, so that you can accumulate some experience and not hold us back on the battlefield."

Catherine nodded again and said, "I understand, sir."

........

The time has come in the afternoon.

In the meditation room, Sitz was studying a new spell mark when he was inexplicably called to the study by Kane.

Kane looked at his bewildered look and said with a smile: "In the afternoon, Captain Catherine will organize a hunting activity. I want you to go and join in. After all, the war is approaching, and you don't have any combat experience."

Sitz immediately understood Kane's intention and said seriously: "I understand, Lord Kane."

After saying that, he bid farewell to Kane and went to the gate of the castle to wait for Catherine's arrival.

Without letting Sitz wait too long, Catherine led a group of infantrymen to the door in neat steps.

She looked at Sitz and said, "Are you Sitz?"

"Yes, first meeting, Captain Catherine." Sitz said.

Catherine said expressionlessly: "Very good, then you can follow our team. As promised in advance, this journey is a bit long. I hope you can hold on."

"I'll try to keep up with you," Sitz said.

"That's naturally the best." With that said, Catherine led her infantry towards the forest.

Braving the scorching sun, Sitz followed him all the way through Maike Village, walked through the river outside the village, and finally arrived at the intersection of the forest.

"Stop, everyone rest where they are."

Following Catherine's order, the infantry behind her loosened their neat formation and relaxed slightly. This was in preparation for entering the forest.

Sitz also squatted down tiredly and kept panting. Although he had the blessing of the magic core, his physical fitness was only limited to that of ordinary people.

Catherine first took a look at the situation in the forest, and after confirming that it had not changed from when she came to scout a few days ago, she walked to Sitz's side.

Sure enough, mage is a very average profession in terms of physical strength and strength, she thought.

She picked up the kettle at her waist, opened the spout, and handed it to Sitz.

"Ha...ha...thank you." Sitz gratefully took the kettle and took a swig.

When he recovered, he realized that it was Catherine's own kettle.

Sitz looked at the other party awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

On the other hand, Catherine, with an indifferent attitude, handed over her hand to Sitz after he finished drinking.

She said: "Give it to me after you finish drinking. Why are you pretending to be dumbfounded?"

Sitz quickly returned the kettle to Catherine to calm down a bit.

"Everyone, gather and head to the forest."

Catherine gave the order again, and the soldiers all stood up and lined up in front of her.

Then they walked into the forest together, and Sitz stood up and followed the team.

The dense woods blocked the scorching sun in the sky, but there was no sense of refreshing at all, and it made it even hotter.

Everyone walked in the forest and carefully explored the surrounding environment.

The same is true for Sitz. He only knows two fire spells and healing spells, and his combat power is not very high, so he follows the team closely.

Catherine opened the map and after confirming that she was going in the correct direction, she led the team to move forward.

When everyone reached the creek, Catherine suddenly raised her hand and gave an order.

The infantry behind her immediately stopped and leaned forward, and Sitz followed suit.

"Ahead is the Timber Wolf's Den." Catherine said.
