Beast tamer crow

### **Chapter Eight: A Massive Hunt**

Crow stood at the edge of the dense forest, his eyes narrowing as he watched the sun dip beneath the horizon. He had already tamed a powerful array of monsters, but he wasn't satisfied. If he wanted to truly dominate, he needed to expand his army—not just with elite creatures but with every kind of monster, no matter their strength.

He had learned the value of having a diverse and numerous army. Low-quality creatures could be useful for reconnaissance, distractions, and swarm tactics. High-quality creatures, on the other hand, would serve as his main force in combat. By focusing on both quantity and quality, Crow would become unstoppable.

He turned to his tamed beasts. "Shadow Panther, Stone Golem, Wyvern, Fire and Ice Elementals... I'll need you all to stay alert. We'll be hunting different types of monsters, both high and low in quality. But for now, I'll be sending my weaker beasts to capture as many monsters as they can."

He glanced over at the pack of **Dire Wolves**, the **Giant Boar**, and the **Troll**. These beasts were still strong, but they lacked the raw power of his elite monsters. Yet that's exactly what made them perfect for this mission. Crow was ready to send them off on their own, giving them the task of capturing as many monsters as possible.

"Dire Wolves, Giant Boar, Troll... Go out and hunt. Bring back anything that you can tame or capture. We need numbers," Crow commanded, his voice firm yet calm.

With his orders given, the three beasts took off. The **Dire Wolves** darted into the woods, moving in a coordinated formation to surround potential prey. The **Giant Boar** plodded through the forest with a snort, its powerful snout ready to root out creatures hiding beneath the earth. The **Troll** lumbered forward, its massive frame making it nearly impossible to ignore.

As Crow waited, he felt a slight twinge of excitement. Every monster they brought back would add to his growing army. Some would be weak, some would be strong, but every single one would have its role.

### **Crow's Thoughts:**

Crow inspected the creatures with a nod of approval. While most of them were low-level monsters, they would serve important roles. The **Forest Wolf** and **Giant Spider** would be excellent for scouting and trapping enemies. The **Wild Boar** and **Rock Golem** could be used for tanking and frontline combat, while the **Stone Lizard** would add some durability and utility. The **Goblin Scout** would be useful for information gathering and sabotage.

He was pleased with the haul, but he knew this was just the beginning. He could already sense the potential of these creatures growing stronger as they joined his army.

"These will do," Crow said softly, summoning his **Beast Storage** skill to store them away. "Now, we just need more."

His army was expanding, but Crow's hunger for power, both in quantity and quality, had only just begun. There were more monsters to capture, more beasts to tame, and more challenges to face. The night was still young, and Crow was ready for what lay ahead.

### **End of Chapter Eight**

Crow's army had now grown significantly, with a range of both weak and strong monsters ready for action. As he continued to tame beasts, his power would only grow, and the true test of his strength had yet to begin.
