Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 107 The war is about to begin
A strong wind blew across the ground outside the city, raising dust that covered the sky and the sun.

The city walls of the capital of Boren stood silently, and inside the towers of every other section of the wall, specially installed "Giant Butcher" siege crossbows had their bowstrings already loaded.

Scattered Bo Ren soldiers stood on the city wall, looking into the distance.

All the trees surrounding the city had been cut down, leaving no cover to block the view from the city walls.

At the end, a dark shadow appeared.

Seven and the giants had no intention of hiding. The giants united together had far exceeded the limits that ordinary humans could withstand!

Shadows, lengthened in the sunlight...

There were no longer eight giants, but twelve.

The giant guard at the front, who looked as old as a sculpture, was still wearing the heavy armor that was as thick as a city gate!

The rusty giant sword in his hand dragged behind him, forming a long trench.

The sword was covered with dark brown bloodstains!
"Boom - boom -"

The continuous stomping of giants came from the distance, getting louder and louder.

The footsteps of the twelve giants overlapped, and even though they were still far away, the Boren soldiers on the city wall could feel the suffocating feeling of the coming storm.

closer.

People on the city wall could see the details of the giants more clearly.

There were all kinds of tiny scars on the tough bodies of those giants, and some of them even had broken crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies!

"Why are these giants... so different from what's described in the rumors and books..."

On the city wall, a young Boren soldier, holding his long spear, began to tremble slightly. He looked at the twelve figures approaching like mountains and asked in a trembling voice,
"Isn't it said that giants are stupid? Even if they cooperate briefly, they will soon attack each other and separate... Isn't it that their savagery makes them lack any discipline..."

Many of the veteran soldiers around him were also unable to speak.

As long as the soldiers who came from Em City or other anti-giant legions and had fought against Seven's giant legion were mentally prepared for this.

Let all giants restrain their nature and march like soldiers—

This cannot be achieved by just lying!

"That armored giant, is that the Titan Guard? A Titan who has lived for nearly a hundred years!?"

"Hold your weapons steady...there's nothing to be afraid of..."

The Boren soldiers encouraged each other.

When these twelve giants actually appeared before our eyes, they looked like a heavy mountain range.

This already accounts for a full 80% of the total number of recorded existing giants in the Kingdom of Boren!
Unable to attack, they could only watch as the giant came closer and closer.

Closer, closer...

Suddenly, a whistle with a certain tone sounded from under the helmets of the giant guards, and all the giants stopped one after another.

Those huge, red eyes stared hungrily at the soldiers on the city wall.

shudder!

At the same time, the Giant Guard's other hand, which was not holding the sword, slowly raised up, as if it was holding something.

"Wait, what is that thing that the Giant Guard is holding in his other hand?!"

A Boren soldier's pupils shrank.

The rest of the soldiers also had an ominous premonition in their hearts!
The giant guard slowly opened his clenched hands, and under the gaze of everyone, two tattered flags slowly fell to the ground.

The pupils of all the Boren soldiers shrank, and a hint of blood red appeared in their eyes!
That is--

The flags of the last two armies outside the Kingdom of Boren that have not yet returned to the capital!

"The Westerly Guards, and the Easterly Rangers... they were all killed by the giants..."

There is no support.

This thought instantly arose in the hearts of all the Boren soldiers, and their hands holding spears, swords and bows began to tremble.

In front of the giant, only this lonely city is left.

Farther away, the one-eyed commander Ward saw this scene and remained silent. He quickly walked down the city wall. Only his trembling hand, which was gripping the hilt of his sword, showed that his heart was not at peace.

"Seven...the Chosen One of the Titans?"

Commander Ward walked in one direction into the street that was already covered with special chains.

Inside an inconspicuous building tower, downwards is a deep road leading underground, and upwards, there is an excellent bird's-eye view.

"A formidable enemy."

Commander Ward walked to the table. The defense map on it was already covered with symbols of various shapes and crisscrossing lines.

On the other side, there was a...larger map pasted on the side wall.

What is recorded is the tracing and inference of the route of Seven's giant army.

Commander Ward picked up his pen and filled in the last few lines, feeling a chill in his heart.

Seven's wisdom is no longer limited to crooked fraud. His control over strategy is almost equivalent to that of a battle-hardened general.

It is also because of this that he was able to control the giants, break through the minimum deadline set by the commander of the Giant Countermeasures Corps, and break through the defense of Em City!

And now, Seven has even captured the two armies of the Kingdom of Boren and annihilated them one by one!
Throwing down the two damaged military flags in front of the city wall dealt a heavy blow to the hearts of all the soldiers defending the city!
Commander Ward had already guessed that despair would hang over the hearts of all the soldiers defending the city.

There were no reinforcements, no supplies, and when the rout came—

The number of soldiers who collapsed will be far greater than expected!
There is no hope, no life. When the courage of the Boren soldiers disappears and they flee, the entire Boren capital will be truly and nakedly trapped in the ravages of the giants, powerless to resist.

"Fortunately, I never expected to kill those giants with human power alone."

Commander Ward's face was hidden in the shadows of the tower.

No one knew the capital's Boren soldiers better than he did. They had better equipment, more numbers, and more training...

But those still don't have much effect on the giants.

Experience is the lifeblood of the soldiers in the capital—

Commander Ward understood that only by truly facing the giants and overcoming his own physical fears could he truly be considered...an opponent qualified to draw his sword against the giants!

He stretched out his hand and took out another battle map, which was about the deployment of troops.

"Oh, Your Majesty, strengthen the defenses... How can we defend ourselves? For generation after generation, your royal family has kept the most core formation secret, always expecting this day to come."

Commander Ward sighed, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the rapidly blowing horns on the distant city wall.

Team after team of Boren soldiers, according to his prior plan, stood in the pre-determined positions.

But these Boren soldiers did not know that these positions were not prepared for them to defeat the giants.

But it is to... speed up the death of these Boren soldiers.

These Boren soldiers were divided into teams. After the giants entered the city, they would rush forward in groups. The number of people in each group was enough for the giants to slaughter them at the fastest speed.

Commander Ward's arrangement minimizes the survival rate of each group of Boren soldiers.

Each group will be separated by a certain distance.

After one group dies, it will be difficult for the next group of soldiers to know about their tragic situation.

They would just draw their swords, rush forward with high fighting spirit, and then - fall down!

More importantly, before the battle begins, it is impossible for people who have no knowledge of military affairs to discover the mystery of such a formation!
"The Kingdom of Boren will remember your sacrifice."

Commander Ward took a last look at the city wall in the distance and the neatly arranged houses around it, then walked down the tower's ladder and headed underground.

The light was swallowed up by darkness, and the flickering candle became the only source of light.

"This war, no matter what the outcome, is already lost. Everything will be exchanged for blood and souls. This time, I need more chips—

In exchange, the qualification to survive!

Cut off one wrist and save a life."

……

In front of the city wall, under the aim of countless crossbows, Seven's giant army was marching forward step by step.

Seven's voice came from above the giant's head.

As an ordinary human, his voice shouldn't have been able to travel so far, but when he started speaking, all the Boren soldiers heard his voice:

"People of the Kingdom of Boren—are you all okay?"

Seven's voice undoubtedly aroused a wave of abuse, but his voice was more contemptuous, "Those who want to surrender, please go down to the city, open the city gate, and kneel to welcome your new king.

In that case... maybe I could consider letting you stay alive—

After all, I only have giants under my command, which is not good."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of Bo Ren became even more furious.

But they still kept their distance, only holding their crossbows, aiming at the approaching giants. Only one officer standing in the front drew his sword and pointed it at the leading giant. His words were not many, but they were sonorous and powerful.

"Seven, your crimes are too numerous to list. No matter what you say, you will not be able to escape the suffering of eternal purgatory!"

Hearing this, Seven's voice lowered several degrees, and was full of provocation.

"Are you the only one who contradicts me? What about the others? Are they all cowards?"

As Seven spoke, the giant guard under him also raised his hand at the same time, making a humane provocative gesture towards the Boren soldiers all over the city!
"Your king and commander are not here yet?"

Seeing that no one from Boren objected, Seven's voice paused for a moment before resounding, "That's a shame. I can only choose you to die first for them!"

At the same time, the giant guards under him also began to move. The giant guards took a huge rock from the hand of another giant.

He lowered his waist and abdomen, and pushed his pillar-like feet against the ground, making a...

Even most humans find it difficult to perform standard force movements!

Spin around and twist.

The huge rock flew out like a cannonball in an instant!
"boom!"

A gap appeared in a corner of the city wall of the capital of Boren.

The place where this rock hit was exactly where the officer who had just spoken loudly was!
"If we can't just kill the two old guys in the city, it will take some effort. Although, I am very patient now!"

Then, the Giant Guard took the next rock and made the same throwing gesture.

"Release the crossbow! Release the crossbow!"

Seeing this, the Boren soldiers on the city wall began to shout hurriedly!
The Giant Guards cannot dodge after the throw begins, and this is the perfect time to use the "Giant Butcher"!

If we could shock Seven inside the helmet to death...that would be even better!

But, in reality, it is obviously not that simple.

Until now, most of the giants killed by the Kingdom of Boren were killed by using the Giant Slayer at close range and hitting their vital points multiple times while they were being dragged by chains and soldiers.

But this time, it obviously didn't work.

Eleven giants blocked in front of the Giant Guards when they started throwing. The Giant Butcher's Steel Crossbow flying from this distance could not break through the Giants' defense at all!

"Boom - boom -"

A few rocks, like cannons, hit the nearest towers on the city wall with precision!

Those fixed "Giant Butcher" crossbows were hit and destroyed by rocks.

These war weapons, which the Kingdom of Boren had paid a great deal of money to manufacture, turned into pieces of scrap metal in a few seconds.

"Now, giants, it's time to charge. Nothing can stop us!"

The twelve giants all let out loud howls like wild beasts, took heavy steps, and rushed towards the city wall!

Their hands and feet struck out cracks and grooves on the stone wall one after another.

Fingers, clinging to the grooves, crawled towards the city wall.

The rune bows and arrows of the Boren soldiers shot at the giants like rain, but those giants even closed their eyes and kept climbing!
Without a siege-grade crossbow like the Giant Slayer, those feathered arrows were like cow hair to them—

It seems to be of no use.

The giant climbed up to the top of the city wall and began to sweep away the few Boren soldiers on the wall. The Boren capital in front of him and the buildings inside were all connected by gray iron chains.

It's like a giant spider web.

Inside the giant's helmet, Seven held a slender animal horn in his hand, looking at the royal capital in the distance, with a twisted smile on his lips.

"From now on, no one will dare to laugh at me!"

He did not immediately command the giants to rush down the city wall. Instead, he took advantage of the height of the city wall and the giants and observed the city in the distance through the cracks in the giant guards' helmets.

Seven also has a map of the royal capital in his hand.

He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully for a few seconds. On the map at hand, he gradually drew a twisting route leading to the royal capital.

Seven understands the principle of capturing the leader first. In this royal capital before him, only a small part of the crisscrossing special iron chains may be effective.

Twelve giants, following one route, can undoubtedly reduce the damage caused by being blocked by iron chains.

If twelve giants attacked the city from twelve directions, with the combination of iron chains and the capital's "Giant Slayer" heavy crossbows, even if they could break into the palace, at least half of the giants would die.

But after a little thought, Seven...

More than 90% of the chains and ambushes in the city will be meaningless!
"How pitiful, but this is what the disloyal deserve. I don't need anyone's approval for my words!"

Seven muttered to himself, pinching the sharp horn in his hand, and his voice turned back to the previous words with strange rhythm.

"Unleash your animal nature, my... servants!"

Then, all the giants chose a certain direction at the same time, a direction with the least chains, and jumped off the city wall at the same time, rushing into the palace!
Everyone knew that the real battle in the city had just begun.

The houses sheltered the soldiers and the "Giant Butchers", while the iron chains and holes dug in the ground restricted the giants' advance. Only in such terrain did humans finally have a chance to fight back.

At this time, in other directions, all the attackers began to move towards the direction of the giant invasion through the preset routes.

Lake and others also walked along the street towards the direction where the giant came from.

The Star-Killing Sword in Lake's hand emitted a faint starlight in the shadows.

The sound of the ground shaking and houses collapsing became more and more distinct, like the drumbeats approaching hell.

"Puro, I feel... the Star-Slayer Sword seems to be giving me courage. I sense something more from within its hilt."

The Poro on the side was stunned for a moment and looked into the girl's eyes.

He was surprised to see that in the depths of the girl's clear pupils, the phantom of stars actually lit up at this moment, and a sea of ​​stars leaped out from it.

Starlight emanated from Lake's body.

They are set against the girl's beautiful face, exuding a breathtaking natural beauty!

At the same time, Poro also changed through the induction with the pages of the [Spiral Beacon: Hunter] on Lake's body.

He felt that the page of the book seemed to begin to climb along with the momentum of the Star Killing Sword—

"Lake, do you feel... that the spiral beacon in your body seems to be a little different?"

After hearing Poro's words, Lake's bright eyes filled with starlight flashed slightly.

She gently raised her other hand, and golden pages emerged from her palm.

This earliest [Spiral Beacon], on its golden pages, showed its changes—

In the newly appeared picture, a figure holding a hunting knife in one hand and a hunting rifle in the other stood in the dense forest. In the shadow of the jungle in front of him, there were star-like white pupils.

Like countless... beasts that choose people to devour.

[Spiral Beacon: Hunter]

[Sublimation Ritual: Hunting Ground]

【Hunting Giants 0/12】

[Sublimation Level: 1->2]

[Soul Anchor: After the Spiral Beacon reaches Level 2, it will be completely bound to the soul and cannot be removed.]

[Fairy Tale Power, First Level: Assumed to possess all the hunting experience of the person killed!]

[Fairy Tale Power: Second Level: Unknown]

[Description: The spoils of prey are piled up like a hill at your feet. When you step onto the hill, everything you see is a hunting ground.]

"Is this the origin of the Spiral Beacon and the Sublimation Level? Is it because of... today's battle?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Poro's eyes.

"I think it has something to do with the mastery of combat skills."

At this moment, Lake had already held the shimmering long sword in her hand. Amidst the starlight, the girl's voice became somewhat ethereal.
"The Star-Slaying Sword seems to have allowed me to fully absorb all the combat experience I gained from the Witch Hunters in a very short period of time!"

"That's it..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Poro's mouth. "Isn't this better?"

He and Lake joined the battle with the possibility of gaining nothing or even being seriously injured, but now, they have gained unexpectedly.

It seems that most of the time, good intentions are not without any benefits.

In the distance, a group of houses collapsed, and then a giant appeared.

"Begin your hunt, Giant Hunter Lake!"

Poro said with a laugh.

"Don't worry, Poro, I will kill these damn giants - one by one!"

Amidst the starry sky, Lake smiled a smile brighter than the stars, and her long sword slashed across a crescent arc of light, "Polo, follow closely!
Now I am—very powerful!"

　Today I will combine two chapters into one and post it. Later I will combine two chapters into one and post it together. The number of words every day will not be less, don't worry_(:зゝ∠)_
