"Finally!" Suhlen sneered.
"Ah!" A few screams suddenly sounded in the silent night sky. A lightning flashed, and Suhlen had already rushed up. The hard ground was directly cracked.
After arriving at the scene in an instant, Suhlen saw a few ice blue shadows moving quickly. In the blink of an eye, they pounced on Suhlen. Their sharp claws flashed with cold light as they grabbed at Suhlen's neck. The chill made Suhlen's skin tighten.
He exerted force on his feet, and his body that was originally rushing forward suddenly stopped. The lightning on the Purple Dragon Halberd in his hand surged, and a dazzling lightning was drawn in the darkest time before dawn.
Bang.
The lightning exploded, and the several ice-blue shadows that had rushed towards Su Lun were sent flying backwards at a faster speed than before. The shadows rolled on the ground and stood up again. At this time, Suhlen finally saw the appearance of these attackers.
These attackers were tall and very similar to wolves, but their fur was ice blue. They were at least 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder and more than 2.4 meters long. Their claws and teeth were sharp, and there were some ice crystals that appeared when they breathed.
"Winter wolves!"
Suhlen's eyes flashed. He had already recognized these giant wolves. These were the magic creatures that lived in the Northern Wasteland, the winter wolves. They were also the most dangerous of all the wolf creatures. Not only were they big, but they could also use ice spells. They were immune to ice spells, but fire spells would cause double damage to them.
Winter wolves usually formed a pack of five to six wolves. Sometimes, they would also act together. More importantly, winter wolves were very intelligent, on par with ordinary humans. They also knew the common language and the language of giants. At the same time, they could communicate with ordinary wolves, wargs, and even domestic dogs. They could be said to be very cunning and difficult to deal with.
Adventurers who came to the Northern Wastelands had also fallen into the traps of the Winter Wolves. These cunning Winter Wolves, who knew the common language, would even shout "help" to attract humans. Often, careless adventurers would fall into their traps.
Of course, although winter wolves were dangerous, their fur was very popular. Ordinary winter wolf fur was sold for 2,000 Kinnar. Winter wolf fur could be made into cloaks, boots, robes, and other magic items that could resist cold. Some of the fur with beautiful colors could be sold for a higher price.
Only Yaron fur was more expensive. The most popular ones were dragon penis and dragon skin. Dragon penis would be crazily fought over as soon as it appeared, and dragon skin could be made into light leather armor. In reality, Wyvern eggs weren't very popular among adventurers. Wyverns had a low chance of hatching, and they were difficult to tame after hatching. In addition, feeding a Wyvern cost a lot of money. Hence, only a few Great Lords and countries would breed Wyverns.
The five Winter Wolves in front of him stared at Su Lun with their blue eyes. The attack just now made them hesitate, but Su Lun did not give them time to think. He moved and rushed toward one of the Winter Wolves. Since the attackers were Winter wolves, Suhlen would not let them go.
Seeing Suhlen rushing over, the Winter wolf wanted to dodge, but it was too late. It could only open its mouth and use Frost Breath on Suhlen. The other Winter wolves saw Suhlen's attack and did not hesitate to attack Suhlen.
Although the Winter wolves were strong, they were only level-3 magical beasts. How could they be a match for Suhlen? The Frost Breath only caused some frost to appear on Suhlen's body. In the blink of an eye, he recovered without even frostbite.
The lightning wrapped around the Purple Dragon Halberd exploded in an instant. The surrounding three meters was covered in lightning. The paralysis effect of a single lightning bolt was limited. The Constitution had a high chance of immunity, but with a large amount of lightning gathered, the paralysis rate rose sharply. The Winter wolves were paralyzed as soon as they pounced. Suhlen's Purple Dragon Halberd swept across, and the five Winter wolves were beaten back again.
At the same time, they were all wrapped in lightning and could not move for a moment. Suhlen shook lightly, and the layer of frost on his body shattered and disappeared. With his current resistance, the five Frost Breaths did not cause much damage. The Winter wolves' Frost Breath was far less powerful than Cryopterus'.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Winter wolves could not move, Suhlen's Purple Dragon Halberd quickly slashed across their throats. Scarlet blood gushed out, and the five Winter wolves quickly lost all signs of life.
Adventurers who came to the Northern Wastelands all knew that if they had a conflict with the Winter Wolves, they had to be ruthless and kill them all. Otherwise, they had to be constantly on guard against the Winter Wolves' revenge.
The Winter Wolves would always remember their hatred and let that hatred settle, accumulate, and grow in their hearts until the day they took revenge again. Once the wolf pack replenished their strength, they would go on an expedition again and take revenge for every member that had died.
The life of the five Winter Wolves quickly drained away. Soon, the light in their eyes dimmed, and their life force dissipated completely.
A wave of hurried footsteps hurried over. It was two teams of fully armed barbarians.
"Sir!"
"Those five Winter Wolves are the murderers. Take care of them and skin them. Remember to be careful," Suhlen said with a wave of his hand.
"Send a team to search the surroundings and see if there are any that escaped."
The Winter Wolf's fur was very precious. The barbarians' craftsmanship had long been masters of skinning. They easily skinned the entire Winter Wolf's fur intact.
Seeing the complete Winter Wolf's fur, Suhlen was amazed at the beauty of the Winter Wolf's fur. The ice blue fur was very soft. This kind of high-quality fur was not only used to make magic equipment, but it was also bought by noble ladies who loved beauty to make cloaks.
Five Winter Wolf's fur could be sold for at least 10,000 Kinnar, but Suhlen did not plan to sell it. Such beautiful fur was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. He planned to find a few high-level tailors to make cloaks for Kris and Hathaway as gifts.
"Sir, a pack of Ferocious Wolves has been discovered in the forest," a drow hurriedly reported at this time.
"Send someone to eliminate them directly." Suhlen did not care. These Ferocious Wolves should have been summoned by the Winter Wolf, but they were obviously not used. A team of barbarians hurried over with a team of spearmen and longbowmen.
When dawn came, all the Ferocious Wolves were either killed or escaped. Then, there was a batch of wolf meat in Mirror Lake City as food reserves.
Without the threat of the Winter Wolf, the progress of Mirror Lake City accelerated again. Even Suhlen stopped fishing and cast Mud to Stone on all the foundations of the city walls. Finally, after two weeks, the city walls of Mirror Lake City were finally built. Suhlen was relieved. These days, he had cast Mud to Stone close to the last time. If it were not for the mana recovery effect of the tungsten steel, his energy would have been drained.
The city walls had a circumference of four kilometers, a square shape, and a height of six meters. Such a small city did not originate from the Kingdom of Florence, but it was the second city in Suhlen's territory.
A lot of soil had to be excavated during the construction of the rammed earth city walls, so Suhlen directly asked them to dig a moat outside the city walls. The moat was ten meters wide and three meters deep. The two ends were connected to Mirror Lake next to it.
[City Wall (Mirror Lake City): Rammed earth city wall, height 6.12 meters, length 4.02 kilometers.

At the same time, it promotes water transportation. Defense against water attacks + 10, City Defense + 8, Popular sentiment + 3, Prosperity + 3, Transportation + 2]
The construction of the moat and the city wall gave Mirror Lake City a certain level of defense. A new city, Mirror Lake City (Under Construction), appeared on Suhlen's system panel.
After the construction of the city wall was completed, Suhlen immediately built a warehouse in the city and transported all kinds of resources to the warehouse for storage. Then, all the slaves and workers were moved to the city to live.
Because of the city wall, the safety was guaranteed. Suhlen first arranged for the craftsmen to build houses. Because of the lack of time, the conditions of the houses were simple. They were just large bungalows, and each room could accommodate dozens of people. The construction of such rooms was fast, and a dozen of them were built in one or two days.
Then, he let the workers and refugees live in them. As for the slaves, he built some fences. It was almost summer, and the temperature was comfortable. Even if the Kobolds and Goblins were outdoors, they would be fine.
After the construction of the city wall was completed, he needed to build the residences, City Lord's Mansion, barracks, shops, port, and other buildings. After the construction of North Town City, he had trained a large number of skilled workers. These buildings could be built slowly. Suhlen handed the safety of Mirror Lake City to Ayton. The 500 North Town City soldiers were all left here.
"Sir." Just as Suhlen was giving Ayton the task, a guard hurried over with a bad expression.
"What's wrong?" Suhlen raised an eyebrow. "Is there an enemy?"
"No, it's … there's a problem with the workers' dormitory that was built two days ago," the guard said hesitantly.
"What's wrong with the workers' dormitory?"
"You should go take a look yourself," the guard said evasively.
Suhlen nodded and followed the guard to the workers' dormitory.
Soon, the group arrived at the workers' dormitory. There were already soldiers standing guard outside. Suhlen passed through the blockade and walked into the room. He immediately saw a dozen muscular men hugging each other. Some of them were even half-naked, ready to fight. It was a very uncomfortable scene.
Suhlen felt the hairs on his back stand. His butt tightened.
"Separate them and lock them up!" Suhlen said with a dark face.
A group of soldiers rushed in and dragged these people out.
Suhlen looked around the room in shock. [Workers' dormitory: Comfort + 8, Stamina Recovery + 10, Broken Back Affection + 22, Mutual Affection + 20]
