Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 180: The Evil Army Massacres the City
"Goethe Kingdom? So, how is His Highness doing? Did he predict this and ask you to come to me specifically?"

The golden bird's eyes lit up and he asked tentatively.

"No, that's not the case..."

The gray-robed man shook his head and replied, "This news was also conveyed to you urgently by His Majesty not long ago.

He sensed the part of you that I carry, and he allowed me to sense your location as well."

"That's it..."

The golden bird nodded. She knew that the former prince could indeed do this, and that he was the one who could recognize her, find her, and even know her name.

There will always be a certain connection with the prince.

"Then why were you in this city before?"

Golden Bird, Miss Xipalo, thought for a moment and asked again.

"I'm a spy, of course, to investigate the Blue Kingdom, and more importantly—

The secret of the Sri Kingdom.

You should also know that in this world, the once prosperous human cities have all been engulfed by unprovoked wars."

The spy said, he looked around, Lake's location was very remote, and just now, several farmers at the next table also got up and left, and it was precisely because of this that the spy chose to contact him at this time.

In fact, he had been observing Lake for quite a while.

"The Kingdom of Sri? By the way, the Holy Advent Protestant Church of the Kingdom of Sri in the city has nothing to do with you?"

The golden bird Xipa Luo suddenly asked, "Or are there other people left from heaven?"

The spy listened and was silent for a while, but then slowly shook his head:

"I don't know. We in the Goethe Kingdom are also confused about this. There is no doubt that His Majesty the King holds the power of heaven.

But we also know very little about the Sri Kingdom. Even the few tentative contacts we made before were met with malicious pursuit by the Sri Kingdom.

They do possess powerful forces and are one of the strongest initiators of this war.

But we don’t know…

What exactly is this so-called Holy Advent Protestantism and their purpose?"

"Do not you know?"

Lake and Poro, who were standing next to them, were also thoughtful after hearing what the "spy" said.

According to the Golden Bird, that is, Miss Sipalo, the king of the Goethe Kingdom is the one left over from heaven, but even so, he does not know the details of the Holy Protestant Church.

"Yes, we don't know, or rather, the countries that are still at war now all have many secrets—

That is, those extraordinary powers, which may indeed come from heaven.

But it is more likely to come from magic, or even the most dangerous, the hell where the devils come from!

Those demons are most likely the ones who caused this tragedy!"

"Among these countries, the Goethe Kingdom's situation shouldn't be too bad, right?"

Golden Bird Xipaluo thought for a moment, then asked softly, "After all..."

The meeting spy looked a little embarrassed after hearing this, but still replied:

“I’m sorry, the situation in Goethe Kingdom is a little bad.

Your Majesty's power is not enough to bless all the soldiers, and now, the countries that are waging war have power that is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

so……"

The gray-clad spy sighed as he spoke, but before he finished speaking, everyone understood what the spy meant.

The spy was silent for a few seconds, then turned his gaze to Lake and Poro, thought for a moment, and continued:
"I noticed before that you two should know something, and the aura you exude is not simple..."

"Well, we were indeed asked to take Miss Sipalo to the Goethe Kingdom."

Lake nodded and said.

"Well, it's true. If you were ordinary mercenaries, it would be difficult to survive here."

The gray-clad spy smiled. He had observed Lake before. From various clues, it seemed that Xipalo trusted this girl very much.

During the conversation, the conference spy also felt a sense of comfort from Lake's words and actions.

"So, Mr. Spy, should we leave now and go to Goethe Kingdom?"

The golden bird asked.

"Of course, that's what we should do. But wait another day. I still have things to do."

"Things? What things?"

The Gray Spy opened his mouth and said:
"That's what I just said, what I was supposed to do as a spy for the Goethe Kingdom."

The gray-robed spy smiled and said, "I was originally responsible for exploring the Blue Kingdom, and the task of connecting with you was also assigned at short notice. However, it just so happened that in the past few days, I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—"

There is no risk and I can complete the task quickly.

We can leave here as early as tomorrow, and you can rest for a night."

"Is that so, Mr. Spy? I'll just wait one more night."

The golden bird nodded, suppressed the impatience in his heart to go to the Kingdom of Goethe, and spoke softly.

But after hearing this, Lake and Poro thought of something.

"Mr. Spy, may we know what the mission is?"

Lake still asked. After all, no matter how you think about it, a spy who has been lurking for a long time to obtain secrets has nothing to do with "no risk".

The gray-clad spy looked at Lake deeply, then moved his gaze to the golden bird.

In her opinion, the person trusted by the Golden Bird Sipaluo would not be the enemy of the Goethe Kingdom, so he still spoke:
"Oh, it's from my previous investigation, based on the intelligence from the Blue people and Lord Dante, that Marshal Giles, the Bluebeard of the Blue Kingdom, might be secretly conducting some blood sacrifice-related activities.

But no one dared to enter his castle. There were no people in his castle, and all the carters who transported goods were illiterate and had their tongues cut off.

The gray-clad spy glanced around and found that there was no one in the tavern who could hear him talking.

Then he smiled again and continued:

"Speaking of which, it's also because the Blue Kingdom was recently defeated and Dante City was occupied by the Sri Kingdom. People have become much more active and are no longer afraid to reveal things related to Lord Giles."

"So, you know more?"

The Poro next to Lake finally spoke up. For some reason, he knew the story of Bluebeard. In the fairy tale, he was just an ordinary sadistic murderer.

But for some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

"Of course, after the Sri Kingdom occupied Dante Territory, most of Giles' castle guards had already left. Most importantly—

Giles's latest wife was shaken and instigated by me."

The gray-clad spy whispered and blinked. He looked at the Poro with some surprise. He had not thought that the wolf could speak, but he knew that the golden bird could also speak, so his acceptance level was unconsciously much higher.

“That’s the only person who can move freely in Giles Castle.

But she told me that there was a locked door in the basement at the bottom of Giles' castle - that was the only place Giles would not allow her to enter!
I bet whatever secrets Marshal Bluebeard has, they're all behind that door!"

But after hearing the words of the gray-clad spy, Poro felt even more uneasy.

If it is really a place for blood sacrifice, then what is the purpose of the blood sacrifice?
Besides, in this world where supernatural powers truly exist, what did Bluebeard actually gain from his blood sacrifice?

"Mr. Spy, perhaps we could go with you?"

Lake also understood what Poro meant, so she took the initiative to speak.

"No, of course not. Your mission is to protect Miss Sypaluo, and investigation is my own mission. Protecting Miss Sypaluo is far more important than my mission!
Besides, isn't Bluebeard and his army here?"

The spy said this, stood up, and lowered his head to walk out of the tavern.

But at this moment, several people heard at the same time that a shrill horn sounded suddenly from the direction of the city gate of Dante Territory!
Immediately, many people were running on the street, and many of them were shouting loudly in panic.

"Huh? What happened?"

Lake and the others were a little confused.

But they didn't ask. A man dressed as a businessman ran past the tavern and answered their doubts:
"Bluebeard's army is back!"

"What!?"

The other Bru people who heard the news were also a little shocked and confused.

Although Bluebeard was the lord who ruled this land for several years, when Bluebeard came back, all the Bru people in Dante's territory felt a gloomy sense of oppression!
They couldn't explain what they wanted.

Bluebeard's reign of terror still lingers deep in their memories!

"Mr. Spy, if Marshal Giles comes back, many things won't be so easy to handle, right?"

Poro spoke again.

"Mr. Spy, if there really are dangers caused by blood sacrifice in Giles' castle, we might be able to help you..."

Lake also said that if Marshal Bluebeard really did something like a blood sacrifice.

The blood of innocent people on his hands meant that he must die.

But the spy not far away shook his head again:
"If Marshal Giles's army really enters the city, they will definitely engage in battle with the Sri Kingdom's garrison, which would be very dangerous.

You guys protect Miss Sipalo, and when I come back, we can go together."

"But what if you are trapped in the castle by Giles's soldiers?"

Lake asked again, this gray-clad spy didn't seem to have anything special about him.

Although his movements resembled some martial arts training, in Lake's opinion now, his martial arts skills were obviously not higher than those of the veteran Invi.

After stopping Lake's words, the spy suddenly shook his head helplessly:

"I'm really looked down upon..."

He looked at Lake and Poro, who seemed unconvinced, and shrugged his shoulders. Then, he stretched out one of his arms and rolled up his wide sleeves.

Lake and Poro saw a bracelet with a golden feather on it on the surface of his arm.

The feather suddenly lit up with a subtle light, and the tip of the feather pierced the spy's skin. Then, his whole body began to glow with a layer of golden light.

Poro recognized it, this is the power of angels!
"I am the only special spy sent by the Goethe Kingdom to Dante Territory. This is why I also have special powers, real powers from heaven!

Even if Giles Bluebeard came back to the castle himself, he couldn't catch me."

With that, the gray spy covered his arms again, waved his hand, and disappeared into the crowd on the street, heading towards the castle not far away.

Lake and Poro followed the direction the spy disappeared.

Not far away in the city center, the upper part of an isolated castle stood out. For some reason, Poro always felt that the castle had an inexplicable gloom.

Lifeless.

"I think, maybe..."

Lake said this with some concern, and Poro also understood Lake's thoughts. With the strength of several people, it would be easy to keep their lives in the chaos.

The spy was unaware of Lake and Poro's abilities.

That's why I headed towards the castle so resolutely.

"Yes, I noticed that the walls of Dante's city are very high, and the defenders didn't suffer much casualties. Add in those Sri Lankans, and even if Marshal Bluebeard were to attack the city, it would still take quite a while, right?"

Poro thought about it and agreed with Lake's statement, "If we just go to the basement of the castle, it won't take much time."

But just as Lake took a step and was about to head towards the castle.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy horse hooves and shouts could be heard on the street in the direction of the city gate, followed by the wails and screams of many civilians!

"What's going on? Those Bluebeard cavalrymen have entered the city?"

Lake turned her head following the voice and saw at a glance several blue military flags of the Blue Kingdom flying at the end of the street!

"Those defenders didn't resist?"

Lake was a little surprised. Such a fast speed could only mean that the defenders opened the city gate to Bluebeard's army without any resistance.

Due to the influence of last night, Lake and his companions did not have much good impression of Giles' cavalry.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer. Several cavalrymen were galloping towards the intersection where Lake Poro was, and along with it came the breathless cries of a woman.

A ragged, stumbling woman came running from the other side of the street.

In her hand, she was holding a young man who was also desperately trying to escape——

Lake and Poro recognized that the group of mothers and daughters who came were the ones who had been cured by the Holy Protestant Church of the Sri Kingdom and joined the sect!
But how could their legs outrun the cavalry?
The woman's legs and feet went limp and she finally fell to the ground.

"Sir, please spare us, mother and daughter. We just, just want to live..."

She cried and begged.

But the cavalry was not moved at all. The horses' hooves were getting closer and closer, and the knights on them also raised their lances at the same time, with deadly cold light, approaching mercilessly and unhindered!

“Anyone who betrays Marshal Giles, no matter who they are, will be unforgivable. You should be thankful that Marshal Giles has agreed to grant you, and… all those who betrayed the Territory of Dante and the Kingdom of Blue, the final gift!

That is, a quick and clean death!"

The knight shouted loudly with joy, and thrust forward with the lance in his hand following the momentum.

But the next moment, his horse's hooves were tripped by vines that suddenly appeared. Before he could react, the knight's head and the arm holding the lance were cut in half by the sword that pierced through the air almost at the same time!
"These people, what are they going to do?!"

After killing the knight, Lake and Poro looked not far away.

Another cavalryman rushed out from the path, the lance in his hand was stained with blood, and he was holding several heads in his hand!

Farther away, the screams of men and women came one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and smoke rose!
"Are they going to massacre the city?!"

The thought flashed through Poro's mind, "Massacre their own...people?!"

"We must, we must stop them first, no matter... how many crazy soldiers there are."

Lake also looked towards the direction of the city gate and tightened the Star Killing Sword in her hand.

"They are no longer soldiers protecting the nation. Now, they are even more terrifying than bandits!"
