Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 199 The Eve of War
In the capital of New Shadi, below the palace, ministers and soldiers stood on both sides, waiting slowly.

On the throne, the candles went out, and a huge shadow enveloped Prince Peter's body. The people below felt that something was different about Prince Peter, but they couldn't tell what it was.

"That's right. In order to defend against a possible common enemy, the Sri Kingdom, another conqueror behind the Weiser Kingdom, I have decided to form an alliance with the Goethe Kingdom."

As soon as Prince Peter finished speaking, the ministers below nodded in agreement. Obviously, this decision was what most of the Shadi people thought.

The Goethe Kingdom defeated the Weser Kingdom, avenging the majority of the Shadi people who had been killed in the war.

This also means that the support rate for the Goethe Kingdom in the Shadi Kingdom is not low.

"Continue to recover the lost territory occupied by the Kingdom of Weiser, set up outposts on the border of the Kingdom of Sri, and monitor their every move..."

At Prince Peter's order, the minister began to frown slightly, thinking about the execution process.

Many generals frowned, and as they listened to Prince Peter's words, they began to think about the situation and future actions.

After the decree was issued, the ministers and soldiers began to leave in an orderly manner. Their steps were steady. Everyone understood that the Shadi Kingdom would soon usher in new changes, or in other words... this would be another storm of life and death.

Watching the last person leave, Prince Peter also stood up and walked back to the room along the shadows.

But in the room, Prince Peter's eyes widened——

Because, in the room that was supposed to be tightly guarded, there were several uninvited guests.

They are three messengers from the Sri Kingdom.

"Your Highness Prince Peter, what you did today, are you going to make an enemy of our Sri Kingdom?!"

The three priests in gold and white robes stared at Prince Peter without any respect.

"You're allying with the Goethe Kingdom right in front of us. Aren't you looking down on us a little too much?"

"Or do you think you truly possess power? Do you think you've truly become king?"

"Don't you know how many kings we have killed?"

The three Sri priests spoke with uncontrollable anger.

The surface of their eyeballs was covered with bright red bloodshot, like three evil ghosts who wanted to devour someone!
"We're giving you one last chance. Take back your order and behave yourself. Do you understand?"

But in the shadows, Prince Peter did not show the fearful look of kneeling down and begging for mercy as they had predicted. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
"Sorry, guys, I might have to refuse."

"Do you want to die?!"

Priest Sri was stunned, with murderous intent in his eyes, and asked again.

"Of course not. After all, I have just become a human being. Before, I was just Prince Peter's shadow, but now, I have become him!"

"what?"

Several Sri priests paused. They found it difficult to understand what Prince Peter said, but when they heard what Prince Peter said "shadow", their eyes reflexively looked towards Prince Peter's feet.

But they found that there was no shadow under the body of this "Prince Peter"!
"No, there's something strange about this guy. Catch him first!"

Pastor Sri's pupils shrank, and then a scarlet light flashed in his eyes, and they jumped up from their seats in an instant!
Their hands became extremely sharp and grabbed towards "Prince Peter" in front of them!
But at this moment, Prince Peter's body seemed to have lost its support and fell straight backwards.

But when it touched the ground, it did not feel like a collision of heavy objects, but instead merged into it without any vibration.

It was like... a shadow, sinking into the ground.

"what?!"

"Is this a kind of... magic?!"

The three Sri priests stopped in their tracks when they saw this strange scene. At this moment, all the lights in the room suddenly trembled and went out.

There were no windows in this room. The moment the last light disappeared, the entire space was shrouded in darkness.

"What's going on? Is there a trap?"

"Did Prince Peter do that? Has he long been beyond our control?"

The three Sri priests did not stop and quickly rushed towards the closed door. At this moment, they had turned into half demons, with two protruding long horns growing on their foreheads, and their strength was also increased.

Even an ordinary metal door would not be able to stop their power.

They slammed the door of the room hard -

"Boom!"

The door was kicked open.

But outside the door, there was no corridor, but endless darkness like fog!

And in this collision, the entire space also exploded at the same time.

The moment Prince Peter disappeared, this space fell into shadow.

"What is this place?"

"Who is pretending?"

The three Sri people shouted. Although they were high-ranking members of the Holy Protestant Church in the Sri Kingdom and knew a lot about mysteries such as magic, hell, and heaven, they still felt terrified when they were caught in such a situation.

"You appeared in the Shadi Kingdom, plotting in the shadows, trying to control the puppets... and now, you're asking who's playing tricks?"

At this moment, a voice sounded from the opposite side of them.

A shadow began to condense into a human shape, transforming into the appearance of Princess Marlene.

Princess Marlin looked at the three Sri people, sizing up their demonic appearances, her eyes revealing clear hatred:
"You personally came to the Shadi Kingdom and brought suffering and death to our peace, and now, you are still not satisfied?
Are you devils?! You, the Sri Kingdom, already possess so much land and wealth, yet you still want to start a massacre. What on earth do you want?"

Princess Marlin stared at the three Sri people and asked sternly. The three Sri people became a little frightened under the shadow, but soon, the strange red light appeared in their eyes again.

"I remember you. Are you Princess Marlene of Shadi?"

The leading Sri Lankan finally thought of something. He slowly said, "You're still alive? And these powers... It seems that the legends of your Shadi do have some truth to them."

"So it's you? Okay, but it would be the same for anyone else."

Another Sri Lankan shook his head, his eyes revealing a clear threat. "Even if you know magic, it won't be of much use to us. You can't protect your country."

"Well, since you have such power, our Sri Kingdom will give you a chance to trade—"

The third Sri man raised his hand in the air and a contract appeared out of thin air.

"Join us and conquer this world. I can leave a place for your country in the paradise of the end of the world."

"So, what you want is to destroy this world?"

Princess Marlene understood something from their words, "But we in the Shadi Kingdom yearn for a peaceful life, not the inhumane killing spree like you demons!"

"That's it..."

The Nasri nodded, put away the contract in his hand, and showed a matter-of-fact look. "As expected, it's a bit difficult now that you have seen our appearance first."

The next moment, the golden and white priest robes of the three Sri Lankans suddenly turned black and red!
The priest robes on their backs were torn to pieces, and huge black bat wings grew out - in an instant, they broke through the boundaries of mortals and appeared in front of Princess Marlene!

The crimson hell energy began to blockade Princess Marlene from three angles. They had long guessed that Princess Marlene would not agree, but instead used every possible means to facilitate the current siege!

"Since the decision just now was made because of your presence, then as long as you, the 'princess' who shouldn't be alive, are killed, the Shadi Kingdom will no longer be an obstacle to the Sri Kingdom, right?"

The shadows around wanted to stop the attack of the three demons, but under the impact of the three demons' red energy, they were unable to cause effective damage.

"Are you the demons from ancient legends? Does that mean your Kingdom of Sri is also a country related to the devil?"

Princess Malin carefully observed the physical features of the three Sri people and had the same guess in her mind.

"You are indeed very powerful, but this place is not hell, but the crevice of shadows."

Before she finished her words, her figure suddenly darkened. In just a moment, she turned into an elusive shadow and passed by the claws of the three demonic priests.

"what?"

The three priests were stunned for a moment, and when they turned around to look, they saw more shadows emerging from the shadows around them.

Those shadows were wearing the costumes of the Shadi people, and in the front were some Shadi soldiers wearing armor.

"The war you started destroyed our hometown of Shadi. You devils, watch out—this is our revenge."

Princess Marlene's voice rang out from the shadows.

At the same time, all the Shadi people once again turned into a tide of shadows, sweeping towards the priests and drowning them in an instant.

The shadows tore and entangled with the scarlet light of the Sri people.

"You don't understand our strength. Some shadowy ghosts can't hurt us."

The three Sri people had completely lost their human appearance at this time.

They completely turned into the appearance of demons, with dense blood-red runes appearing on their skin, tearing in the sea of ​​shadows.

But in the next moment, in the black shadow, an ice-blue sword light flashed quickly—

Before the three Sri people could react, the originally strong blood-colored energy on their bodies was easily torn into pieces by the sword light like fragile paper.

After that, their limbs were also shattered.

"now what?"

After the limbs of the three Sri people were torn apart, they were finally unable to put up any resistance, and the scarlet energy was also shattered under the Star Killing Sword.

"It's you?!"

At the last moment when they were engulfed in shadows, they saw a figure behind the sword light.

A girl in a red cloak.

They finally realized the flaws in their plan, but it was too late to resist.

"Ms. Marlene, can you check their shadows?"

"I'll give it a try. I haven't seen anyone like this before, uh, a demon."

As Princess Marlin spoke, shadows from all directions began to surge into the bodies of the three Sri people under her control. Then, she stretched out her hands and grabbed and pulled the Sri people.

A black curtain was dragged into the air.

There were some shadows of conspiracy on it. Princess Marlene narrowed her eyes, trying to open them and listen, but the next moment, her pupils shrank instantly.

"No! In their shadows..."

The shadow that was torn from the Sri Lankan began to quickly turn into a light scarlet color.

The scene above it also began to distort.

Finally, it turned into a sea of ​​blood and corpses. Ugly spells appeared on the blood, and countless red eyes suddenly looked over here - as if they had discovered the prying eyes of Lake and Princess Marin!
Then, blood-red flames suddenly emerged from the shadow, and in the flames, the shadow world began to shatter.

The candlelight illuminated the palace room again. Lake and Poro stood on the ground, looking at the center of the room not far away.

The bodies of the three Sri people had been burned to ashes by the hellfire that broke out of their bodies.

"I'm sorry, I can't pull away from their shadows. They are no longer human. Their shadows, or souls, no longer belong to them."

On the other side, Princess Marlene's expression was also somewhat solemn.

She turned around, looked at Lake and Poro again, and said slowly:

"I finally understand why you defeated the Weiser Kingdom's Sky Fleet, but are still so wary of the Sri Kingdom—

If these Sri Lankan leaders are actually demons...

This crisis has far exceeded human warfare!"

……

Kingdom of Weser, underground palace.

The candles burned with a bloody light, and the inverted cross behind the king also flashed with a bloody light.

In the stone hall, six strange altars were built in the darkness.

The surface of one of the altars was covered with reddish-brown blood stains and white bones, forming an arched broken door.

A man with a haggard face put his ear to the ground, as if listening to something.

After a while, he got up and opened his eyes which had just been narrowed.

A red light flashed in his eyes.

"Sound Follower, what did you hear?"

The demonized king asked.

"In the Shadi Kingdom, the alliance may have failed. The three priests we sent were killed. For a very short time, I couldn't even hear the slightest sound."

The haggard-faced follower replied.

"Huh? Why? Did you hear who killed them?"

"Prince Peter formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Goethe. It's possible that Prince Peter killed them, but perhaps there are other secrets."

The voice follower said in a hoarse voice, "But due to the death of the priest, the dissipation of the hellish energy, and the great distance, I couldn't hear what happened after that.

As for the means used, it might be magic or something like that."

"Tsk, the Shadi Kingdom... what a trouble. We should have killed them all then."

The demonized king frowned, "Well, if that's the case, we can only waste some time - let Marshal Giles march.

Since those Shadi people want to die first, let them do so!"

"Yes."
