Chapter 620 The first confrontation

"Ouch..."

In the darkness, the howling of wolves could be heard one after another.

In the nearby villages, the villagers put all their food into jars in the dark, buried them in the ground, and placed a broken box on top.

They came to their own woodshed, dug up the pile of firewood, jumped into the pit, and then restored the firewood.

In the time it takes to eat a meal, the entire village was empty except for the mules and horses in the livestock shed, which were the victims of the village.

The most ferocious Wild Wolf Legion of the Madeira Kingdom has arrived. The villagers who are still alive are those who survived the last robbery by their own people. Those who did not hide well have died.

The light of the torches illuminated the dark woods. The eyes of the wolves reflected a deep and terrifying light, and the breath of death was in the air.

A pond in the forest has dried up, and a delicate white high-heeled shoe with sparkling crystal glass inlaid on the upper has fallen on the cracked ground.

The black wolves and torches gathered here, and the black wolves growled at a tall oak tree that was originally beside the pond. There was a hole in the tree.

Hundreds of people and fifty or sixty black wolves surrounded the oak tree.

A man who looked like a leader patted the black wolf beside his leg.

The black wolf rushed toward the oak tree, jumped up and landed on the tree hole, then crawled into the hole.

Without the expected scream, the black wolf dragged a light yellow dress out of the cave and returned to its owner.

The leader's face turned terribly dark. This was obviously a trap to mislead the direction of his search.

This trap certainly could not have been set by Count Sampaio's wife and children. There must have been professionals helping them.

There is something inside this dress, a few cylinders, and it seems... smoking!

"Boom!"

A bomb containing two kilograms of angina pectoris medicine suddenly exploded, and countless substandard and scrapped bearing steel balls swept in all directions.

"Fire!"

Following Bobo's order, the following Black Cat troops fired at all standing targets around the oak tree.

The cherry cannon fired grenades at the area where the crowds of people and wolves were densely packed. Someone was so quick that he almost split the grenade in half with a sword, but it just triggered the fuse.

Someone took out two wooden-handled grenades, one of them pulled the string, calculated the time, and threw it with all his strength.

Grenades thrown by supernatural powers can sometimes fly at speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour. A magician was shielding himself when he was immediately physically shattered by the first grenade without a string pulled.

The iron shell of the grenade was also shattered, but it did not prevent the explosive inside from hitting the magician in the face at close range.

The second grenade with a string followed closely behind, not only exploding itself, but also detonating the explosives of the previous grenade.

As expected, a team of 100 men from the Wild Wolf Corps, including both the men and the wolves, were wiped out by a platoon of the Black Cat Corps in less than ten minutes before they could figure out the situation.

Next it's time to clean up the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Black Cat Unit were divided into groups of three, standing a few meters away from the corpse. One person was on guard with a rifle, one shot the person and the wolf on the ground in the head with a pistol, and the last one threw out a rope claw to pull the corpse over.

By the time other troops from the Kingdom of Madeira arrived, items of military and collectible value from the bodies of the Wild Wolf Legion's century-man squad had already been taken away and neatly laid out on the ground.

When the Black Cat Troops and a few others got on the waiting car at the edge of the forest, a wave of magical power came from the forest and disappeared in a flash.

Eugene met Count Sampaio's widow, three children, and the two surviving knights who escorted them out of the castle in a guesthouse converted from an inn in the fortress.

Mrs. Sampaio cried and complained that Dos had killed Count Sampaio for no apparent reason. Fortunately, they had a loyal knight in the family, so they were able to escape. Eugene said: "Although we have known Count Sampaio for a short time, we are already good friends. On behalf of the Western Front Corps of the Wesson Army, I would like to express my condolences for his innocent death."

"Please don't worry, ma'am. You can rest here first. We can discuss the future after Grand Duke Wei Sen arrives."

Then he looked at the two knights behind Dona Sampaio. Although they were exhausted and their wounds had just been bandaged, they still held the hilts of their swords to protect Dona Sampaio.

"Knights," Eugene said, "if you need, I can arrange for your family to be brought here to avoid being harmed."

A middle-aged knight asked excitedly: "Is it really possible?"

Today the king inexplicably killed Count Sampaio. Who knows if he will attack the families of his vassals?

The other young knight also looked at Eugene excitedly.

"Thank you, sir," said Dona Sampaio, removing a string of pearls from her neck. "Three knights were killed today trying to protect us, and I'm afraid some of the people in the castle will also suffer the same fate."

"My necklace is worth two thousand gold coins. I wonder if I can hire your army to rescue them and their families?"

"There are other secret passages in the castle. I can tell you."

Eugene pushed the necklace back and said sincerely, "Madam, you don't have to do this. This is for fairness and justice, not for money."

Yesterday, Mrs. Sampaio was drinking smuggled happy water and chatting with other ladies in the warm tea room of the castle. This morning, the sudden storm made her embark on the road to escape.

If he had not encountered a group of Wesson's troops in the woods, he and his child would have been captured by the Wild Wolf Legion. They were first raped by humans and then by wolves.

Dona Sampaio thought that it was impossible to go back, so she could only bring her subordinates out, sell the castle for a good price, and then take it one step at a time.

Eugene said, "Madam and everyone else, please rest first. I will send someone to the city to get the news."

Mrs. Sampaio thanked Eugene again and asked him to express her gratitude to the officers and soldiers who saved her tonight.

Eugene returned to the headquarters, studied the enemy's weapons, and asked Bobo about the battle that had just taken place.

The command center attached great importance to this firefight. Senior officers came over to study the captured weapons and listen to Bobo's account of the battle.

Bobo just finished speaking and now he is speaking again.

"What?" Eugene was shocked when he heard the last part. "You put the scroll of life withering under the corpse?!"

Although the magic of Life Withering has been made an integral part of the food production line by the Principality of Wessen, it is still the most commonly used magic by necromancers on the battlefield.

The Black Cat Corps' Life Withering Scroll is a magic scroll of mass destruction made by Manue himself. It can kill people within the range of a football field and is used to deal with the enemy's high-end combat power.

Eugene didn't expect that Bobo would use it as a trap.

Bobo said: "This time we have completely wiped out the enemy's 100-man team. I judge that the enemy will definitely have some important people present."

Eugene said, "I hope so. You're not afraid that the principal will kill you anyway."

Bobo smiled.

He was the one with the longest seniority in Wesson's army, and Metzger had to call him the old squad leader. He played the whole game from the beginning. If he hadn't been slow in waking up and entering the military academy, he would have been a battalion commander now.

"Commander," Bobo said mysteriously, "I happened to meet Metzger in the cafeteria before I set out this time. He said I would definitely catch a big fish this time."

Chief of Staff Erich was studying the captured weapons. When he heard this, he immediately jumped up and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Quick, the Black Cat platoon that has just finished its rest, as well as the division's reconnaissance company and the reconnaissance platoons of each regiment, send them all out within the hour!"
