Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 177 War Disasters Like Dust
The dense sound of horse hooves mixed with the sound of grass breaking.

The army of the Bru Kingdom slowly approached the camp from behind the jungle. They used a standard crescent-shaped cavalry formation, forming an arc, and gradually surrounded the caravan.

In the camp, whether they are caravan members or other refugees.

Looking at the cavalrymen holding heavy crossbows and long swords on their waists, they all swallowed secretly.

Not far away, the caravan outpost was dead.

His blood spread out into a red pool on the ground.

"My Lords, we are not bandits, nor have we any connection with the Sri Kingdom. We are merely merchants passing through. We do not know how we have offended you. I would like to apologize first..."

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly solemn, the leader of the caravan came out.

At this time, he had already put on soft armor and a helmet. Next to him, a caravan attendant walked out of the crowd trembling all over, holding a heavy box in his hands.

He walked out of the crowd, not daring to look at the knights of the Blue Kingdom.

He bent down tremblingly, placed the box on the ground, and opened it——

The dim moonlight illuminated the shiny silver coins inside the box.

"My dear gentlemen, this is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will show some mercy."

The caravan leader continued.

But the leading soldier from the Kingdom of Bru glanced at the cash box on the ground, then shifted his gaze and looked at the leader of the caravan with contempt.

"not enough."

he said coldly.

"Master, I have so many people to support, and this is... my last bit of money."

The caravan leader gritted his teeth and said this, but the next moment, those armored cavalrymen stepped forward one after another.

The bloody aura instantly made everyone in the camp feel cold all over.

"Wait a moment, sir, let's raise some more money... raise some more money..."

When the caravan leader saw this, his expression suddenly changed and he waved his hand hurriedly and said.

After that, he waved his hand hurriedly, signaling several caravan attendants to return to the camp. After a while, they placed the second box in front of the camp and opened it.

This time, there was only a small amount of silver coins.

Most of them are valuable items like bracelets, jewelry, and rings.

"My lords, this is our last possession. Please help us."

The caravan leader bowed again and said.

"Humph, are these the rags you have? Since you are so obedient, I will spare you for now."

The leading Blue soldier showed a hint of greed in his eyes when he looked at the cash box, but he quickly concealed it.

After that, Officer Naburu raised his hand again and pointed at the carriages and horses around the camp:

"And these carriages and goods, stay here, and now you can leave."

The caravan leader's face turned pale upon hearing this, and the others also showed indignation:
"Sir, could you please leave us a few planes and some food...Otherwise, we will starve to death!"

"Yes, sir, leave us a few horses..."

The people in the caravan begged.

"Oh, this time, it's true that I didn't get what I wanted?"

Officer Blue frowned, looked at the people who had just shown an expression of surviving a disaster, and suddenly showed a bloody smile.

He raised his sword and pointed at the armor of the caravan guards among the people in the camp:
"All of you, throw all your weapons and armor onto the ground!"

When the caravan leader heard this, his pupils shrank, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged in his mind.

The other guards in the caravan did not put down their weapons easily, because after walking through the war, they had already understood that when they put down their weapons, they were giving up their lives!

"Master, there are so many of us, and we have to walk such a long distance. Without a carriage, food, and weapons, we will die... Our carriage is also very simple. I hope you will be kind enough to help..."

Everyone in the caravan begged.

But Officer Blue remained unmoved. A hint of murderous disdain flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed his sword at the people in the camp.
"What does your life or death have to do with me? You think we are robbing you, right?"

He sneered, and with the spear in one hand, he picked up the dead body of the sentry on the ground. Blood dripped from the sentry's body to the ground.

"This is one of yours. He attempted to ram our Bru army, causing great losses. His crime is unforgivable! And all these things of yours now belong to our Bru Kingdom!
This is your atonement, to make up for the loss of our Bru Kingdom!"

"Impossible, how could our sentinels go—"

The caravan leader blurted out angrily, but looking at the playful expressions on the faces of the Blue soldiers, he did not say the second half of the sentence.

He knew it was just an excuse.

"Sir, although we are civilians, if you leave us no chance of survival, things will end badly."

The caravan leader's lips trembled with anger.

The Blue cavalry in front of them was not a large force, and there were only about a dozen people standing in front of everyone.

The number of caravan guards in the camp is about the same.

“We’ve already given you all the remaining money, there’s no need for us to go to that extent, right?
I know many lords of the Bru Kingdom, and I have donated a lot of military funds for your Bru war..."

The caravan leader still suppressed his anger and spoke slowly.

After hearing his words, all the caravan guards tightened their weapons. They all felt the tense atmosphere on the field.

"Gentlemen, take these gifts and leave here as if we had never seen each other, okay?

No one wants to get hurt, not even you, right?"

The leading Blue soldier stared closely at the guards in the camp who were ready to resist, and smiled:

"Well, you're brave."

As he spoke, he made a gesture, and a guard next to him stepped forward and picked up the box on the ground with his lance.

After that, the cavalry of the Bru Kingdom slowly retreated.

"Huh... They escaped. They're actually so far away..."

The caravan leader breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lake beside him, and smiled bitterly:
"Look, these are the armies of those countries. I've dealt with them before, and they shouldn't be like this, but for some reason... after the first war, they all changed.

I've heard before that killing changes a person's character, but I never imagined they could change so... thoroughly?"

The caravan leader breathed a sigh of relief as he spoke, “Looks like we have to leave sooner rather than later. Maybe that Bru unit is a defecting group. They are small in number and are afraid of death.

It seems that we have to leave the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Blue as soon as possible.

Little girl, don’t move forward anymore…”

As the caravan leader was speaking, he saw the girl in the red cloak in front of him and his eyebrows suddenly raised.

"Hmm? How—"

The next moment, a bright sword light flashed out from Lake's hand! "Ding!"

A crossbow arrow was split in half by the Star Killing Sword and fell to the ground!
"This is……"

The caravan leader was slightly stunned, and the caravan guards behind him were already terrified and shouted a warning:
"Enemy attack——"

"Those Bruins are back again!"

"Quick, find cover! It's a crossbow arrow, a crossbow arrow from the Bru people!"

Several crossbow arrows shot out from the shadows of the woods.

Caught off guard, many refugees and caravan members were unable to dodge and blood flowers instantly appeared on their bodies. They were pierced by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground!
The figures of those cavalrymen emerged from the shadows again, with their spears held horizontally, flashing a deadly cold light.

The sound of charging horses made the ground shake.

The previous retreat of those Bru cavalrymen was not leaving, but providing distance for the charge of the war horses!

"You took the money, why are you going back on your word?!"

The people in the camp roared and questioned.

But all I could hear was the noise of crossbow arrows piercing through wood.

In the camp, the caravan guards and other uninjured people had already picked up the weapons they could get their hands on, using the carriages and miscellaneous items in the camp as barriers.

But even so, they all understood that ordinary people's resistance could not withstand the cavalry's charge!
"Heh, a few businessmen, armed with weapons, think they have the ability to hurt us?"

The leading officer, Blue, with his eyes shrouded in murderous intent, whispered, "A businessman dares to look down on us like this?
Forget about those Sri Lankans, how dare you weak bugs like you threaten me?!"

Officer Blue's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

He whistled and gave an order to the other cavalrymen - leave no one behind!
In the crowd, the caravan leader was already terrified:

"Madman, are you crazy? Why...why? Why don't you go fight the Sri Kingdom, instead of doing this?!"

He tried his best to command the caravan guards to fight, but how could those foot guards resist those heavily armored cavalry?

In just a moment, several guards in front of the camp were about to be pierced by lances!

The three knights further ahead formed a triangular formation, rode their horses deeper into the caravan, and rushed straight towards the leader of the caravan, with the sharp edges of the lances in their hands already flashing!
Previously, the two-meter-tall guard who was the most trusted by the caravan leader used all his strength to barely withstand the charge of a cavalryman.

But the next moment, the Bru man's lance pierced the guard's leg where it was not covered by armor.

The guard screamed and half-knelt on the ground.

In such a battle, the role that the bravery of individual mortals can play is extremely limited!

"go to hell!"

Just as the caravan leader watched in despair, the cavalryman drew the long sword from his waist and was about to chop at the tall guard's neck—

Another faint silver sword light flashed by.

The three riders on horseback stiffened before they even dismounted, blood spurted out from the gaps between their necks and helmets, and they swayed and fell to the ground!

"These people are not soldiers, they are just...complete bandits."

Lake held the Star Killing Sword in her hand.

The faint starlight of the Star Killing Sword did not shine too brightly. When facing ordinary people, Lake could not fully exert the power of the Star Killing Sword, but even so, those cavalrymen would still not be Lake's match.

Lake didn't want to get involved in the battle between the great powers.

But now, through the Star Killing Sword, she sensed that most of these Blue soldiers were stained with the blood of innocent people!

"Pora, I feel..."

"Of course, I have no objection. Just kill them all. They are just some bandits."

Poro licked his lips, his narrow eyes flashing a faint green light in the night. "Besides, these Bulu people are spying on our carriage."

Poro withdrew his gaze from himself and Lake's carriage.

On the other side, the two knights who were originally charging had fallen to the ground. If someone performed an autopsy, they would find that their visors and the inside of their skulls had turned into fragile white chocolate.

"H-How did you do that!?"

The caravan leader was stunned and blurted out a question unconsciously.

But when he came to his senses, he found that the girl holding the sword had disappeared.

Not far away, the cavalrymen who were charging in armor and on horseback, killing people in the camp, suddenly began to fall one after another!

Ordinary people simply couldn't react to what was happening.

Only a few guards with superb skills can discover the clues.

Beside those cavalrymen, in the empty space, a flash of sword light flashed through the air, piercing their throats with precise sharpness.

While they were still charging, they had no time to react before their heads and bodies were separated!

On the other side, some war horses were sprinting at high speed. Tiny green and red vines quietly emerged from the ground under their hooves, tightly wrapping around the rapidly advancing horses' hooves!

These tripwire-like spells were used in just a moment, and the cavalrymen were thrown off their horses.

“Uh—who!?”

"There's someone in the shadows? Is it witchcraft!?"

"Could it be those weird Swiss soldiers—"

The pupils of those Bru people contracted.

A few seconds ago, they were still full of energy and wanted to massacre all the "ordinary people" in the camp in front of them.

But the next moment, they discovered that the people falling down like wheat being cut were not these ordinary people, but their own teammates in front of them!
What’s even more terrifying is that they didn’t even catch a glimpse of the attacker’s shadow.

"Who?! Come out—I'll chop off your head with my sword!?"

Surrounded by several cavalrymen, Officer Nabru waved his lance and looked carefully into the darkness, but he did not feel anything.

All he saw in front of him was his own cavalry dying one after another.

"What on earth is this? There's something fishy about this caravan. Let's retreat first—"

Officer Blue's eyes were bloodshot. He had just said these words when blood spurted from the throats of the two cavalrymen in front of him.

This time, he saw it clearly.

It's a long sword hidden in the shadows!
"You are making an enemy of the Blue Kingdom!"

He was about to say something, but the next moment, the cold sword edge was already pressed against his throat, preventing him from saying the next word.

"So, you're killing civilians for your Blue Kingdom? You've already received the money, why would you do this?"

A crisp sound rang in his ears.

With a chill as cold as the sword's edge.
