Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

"General, I think our patrol deployment needs some adjustments."

General Sri's tent seemed a little bigger, and in the tent, in addition to the general, there were two guards, which caused a lot of trouble.

"Adjust? Why? I need a reason, soldier. You just need to follow orders, not interfere with them. Do you understand?"

Expected rejection.

Poro looked at the general in front of him. He had confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed one of the people in the Sri Army who was qualified to issue orders and modify the blockade line.

But he felt something strange about this general.

Some protection based on magic or other special energy makes this general stronger than ordinary soldiers.

But it's no use.

"Well, I do have reason to say so..."

The Poro General spoke slowly, fixing his gaze on the guards on both sides. The next moment, a demonic light flashed in his eyes.

The two guards beside the general fell down with a muffled sound, one on the left and one on the right.

A layer of red light appeared on the general's body, resisting the Poro's gourmet curse!
"you--"

The general was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and reached for his waist.

But before he could touch the hilt, Lake emerged from the shadows behind him, and the Star Killer Sword easily tore the general's throat.

"Okay, there's some trouble. We have to get rid of these guys as soon as possible."

Poro took a deep breath, listened to the noise outside the tent, turned the three corpses into biscuit crumbs and stuffed them aside. After that, he put on the general's armor, and his face became blurred, and he became the general's appearance.

"Next, it's time to give orders."

After tracing the general's appearance when he gave the order through the shadows, Poro thought for a moment and then walked out of the tent. Although someone was missing in the tent, no one would notice such an abnormality in a short period of time.

"Your future patrol routes will require some minor adjustments."

The Poro with a general's face stared at the two non-commissioned officers in front of him and spoke slowly. Then he took out a map and drew new patrol marks at two locations on it.

"do you understand?"

"But will there be replacements on our route? If not, there might be gaps in our defense."

A sergeant took the map and frowned. "Besides, the new patrol location is already guarded..."

"Soldier, you just need to follow orders, not interfere with them, understand?"

Poro's face darkened, and a huge sense of oppression instantly pressed down on the sergeant in front of him, making his face pale.

"I'm sorry, General. I understand."

The two non-commissioned officers no longer hesitated. After hearing the general's catchphrase, they no longer suspected anything. They saluted and walked out of the tent with the rotation map.

Although they felt a little strange about the changes in the layout of the general's tent and the whereabouts of the guards.

But it was soon forgotten.

"Well, it looks like it's going well."

Poro stared at the Sri Kingdom's military deployment map in his hand, nodded, and said to Lake in the shadows, "After their team changes guard, we can leave here. Then, we can enter Starfall City through the blockade."

While thinking, the general transformed by Poro walked along the road between the camps to where the Sri Lankan army was about to change guard. The Sri Lankan cavalry had already mounted their horses.

They wiped their weapons and there was almost no sound of conversation or chat.

Unlike the armies of other kingdoms, these Sri people seemed to have been castrated of some of their normal emotions and turned into some kind of machine that only knew how to fight.

Although their conversation seemed to be no different from that of normal people, it still carried a strange feeling.

"Looks like we won't have to stay in the camp for too long."

While thinking about this, Poro was about to leave the military camp, but at this moment, not far away, from the direction of the Sri Kingdom, another Sri army rushed over.

"Ok?"

Poro didn't care at first, but suddenly found that the soldiers in the camp suddenly became agitated, many messengers began to shout and run, and the resting soldiers also walked out of the tent.

"what happened?"

Poro was stunned for a moment. He looked towards the army not far away, his ears moved slightly, and he heard from a soldier what had happened.

"His Majesty the King has arrived..."

"king?"

Poro was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, looked at the shadow under his feet, and temporarily put aside the idea of ​​leaving immediately.

The special Sri Lankan flag with a crown was getting closer and closer. Many soldiers came out and formed neat rows. Then, they all half-knelt down.

Poro also blended in, but secretly narrowed his eyes and looked at the new Sri army.

Under that special military flag, a man wearing a crown walked out.

"That's King Sri?"

Poro thought to himself.

King Sri looked like an ordinary young man with a very short beard, wearing gorgeous armor, a golden crown on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist.

"He looks very ordinary, could he be a stand-in or something?"

Poro thought to himself that there was not even any demonic energy on the young man who was King Sri.

"No, he should be King Sri himself."

But at this moment, Lake's voice sounded from Poro's heart.

"why?"

"My Star Killing Sword tells me that the number of innocent people that man has killed may have exceeded 100,000!"

"One hundred thousand——"

Poro's pupils shrank, and he lowered his head to avoid others seeing his expression. "One person killed 100,000 people?!"

"Yes, it can be said that this is the most murders I have ever seen."

Lake said, "So, he definitely can't be as simple as he looks."

Oz judged that the war between the Sri Kingdom and Starfall City had come to an end and would not last any longer because of the appearance of King Sri.

"If we kill him here, will it end the war in the Sri Kingdom?"

Poro narrowed his eyes. The main driving force behind this war that swept across countless kingdoms was the Sri Kingdom. If King Sri was assassinated here, then even if the situation would not end, it would probably be eased a lot, right?

The Poro thought of King Wither from before.

If these wars were caused by a tyrant, then ending the tyrant's rule might give us a chance... to let peace replace war?

As Poro thought about it, he slowly raised his head and looked into the depths of King Sri's pupils, where a tiny magical light slowly appeared...

But at this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank and the devilish light in his eyes disappeared.

An inexplicable fear emerged from the heart of Poro.

Or rather, it's more like a warning!

Return of the Loop: The Wizard of Oz: Facing Your Fears

[Fairy Tale Power: As long as you haven't given up on thinking, you will never let fear or intimidation affect your actions. At the same time, you will have a more thorough understanding of your inner fears and accurately identify the things that are truly worth fearing.]

[Description: Painful, sinister, dark... In the Kingdom of Oz, she symbolizes fear itself. Only by possessing the courage to face fear can one truly slay the evil that symbolizes terror.]

"why?"

Poro was stunned for a moment and quickly retracted his gaze.

He keenly noticed that King Sri's hand had quietly rested on the hilt of the sword.

In an instant, an inexplicable deterrent force, like a dark cloud pressing down on the head, exploded throughout the camp, pressing heavily on the heads of every half-kneeling person.

It is a feeling of oppression that can only be experienced after reaching a certain level of strength.

It was like the giant king I had seen before, or like a glimpse of a broken paradise through a magic mirror.
"call……"

Poro took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.

King Sri seemed to be surveying his army in a cryptic way.

Fortunately, after just two or three minutes, as the king slowly loosened his hand from the hilt of the sword, the suffocating gaze and pressure dissipated.

"No one has left Starfall City, right?"

King Sri did not rush to leave. Instead, he whispered a few words to the commander beside him, then cast a cold glance at the other soldiers. "Yes, no one can escape from our encirclement."

A general immediately stepped forward to respond.

"That's good, but I heard a bad tip yesterday."

When Poro heard this, his eyes turned cold. He saw King Nasri starting to walk towards him.

Did he find out?
The Poro wondered how he would fight back or escape if King Sri attacked.

After all, he knew very little about this strange king, but he knew clearly about his own and Lake's strength. In this vast world, although they had some abilities, they were far from invincible when facing real strong ones. The gap was huge.

But fortunately, King Sri stopped.

He stood in front of another general, and the hairs on the Poro's body stood up slightly.

He finally felt it. When King Sri placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, a kind of mysterious magic power emanated!
"You are responsible for the defense of the Orchid Valley, right?"

King Sri narrowed his eyes and looked at the general.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A trace of panic flashed across the general's face - this kind of panic seemed a little strange among these Sri people whose spirits had been alienated.

"Well, some people tried to enter Starfall City from that side, but were discovered by the patrolling army. However, they were eventually allowed to escape, and not even a single person was captured or killed, right?"

King Sri's voice was clear and calm, but the murderous intent in it was chilling.

"Yes... Your Majesty."

The general's voice began to tremble.

"very good."

King Sri nodded. "You will pay for this. You let those invaders escape and failed to kill or capture any of them alive."

The next moment, King Sri's fingers on the hilt of the sword flicked slightly.

The long sword did not come out of its sheath, but the next second, the general's head flew up into the air.

The Poro next to him saw clearly that the dead general's head had eyes wide open and a slightly opened mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

The head and the headless body fell to the ground one after another.

"Everyone else, do you understand? Whether it's Starfall City or anyone who wants to go to Starfall City, no matter who they are or where they come from - I will not allow anyone to survive!"

After saying this, King Sri looked around with a cold gaze and turned away.

Looking at the flag of King Sri and heading towards the center of the camp, Poro breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly made many turns, and came to an empty corner of the camp, then hid in the shadows under his feet.

"Fortunately, I didn't go to replace the general who controls the Orchid Grass Valley."

Poro thought to himself that he had no confidence that he could survive King Sri's beheading spell -

The blockade line of the Sri Kingdom has been breached due to Poro's modification.

There is no need to stay here. Even if we kill more generals, it will be like a drop in the bucket.

Besides, that weird King Sri is guarding here.

In front of powerful spellcasters, the Shadow Realm is not invincible.

We must enter the territory of Starfall City before the Sri Kingdom discovers any abnormality in its defense line.

……

After Poro left Sri's camp, in a temporary wooden house in the center, King Sri looked at the map in his hand, and a barely perceptible red light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"No, the feeling just now shouldn't be an ordinary illusion!"

He put his hand back on the hilt of the sword at his waist and began to recall his previous feelings. "Murderous intentions. Someone in my army has murderous intentions towards me?"

The memory of the faces of one soldier and general after another slipped through the depths of King Sri's mind.

"No, no—how is that possible?"

"But this is Starfall City. I shouldn't have any wrong illusions!"

King Sri thought of this, stood up suddenly, and said to the tall guard beside him:

"Reconvene the generals and soldiers who greeted me when I first entered the camp."

"Yes!"

Dozens of minutes later, King Sri walked out of the wooden house and looked at the general and soldiers he had just seen. The tall guard beside him saluted and said:

"Your Majesty, a general has gone missing and cannot be found."

"A general?"

King Sri narrowed his eyes and compared the appearance of the people in front of him with his memory one by one. Finally, the appearance of the general disguised by Poro appeared in King Sri's mind.

"Why? There shouldn't be any rebels among the generals. They no longer have the foundation for rebellion..."

After a brief thought, King Sri asked again, "Has there been any recent changes to the defenses of Starfall City?"

"Today, the troops patrolling the blockade on the west side of the Bluegrass Valley were mobilized by General Lid."

"Heh, sure enough."

King Sri sneered, but there was no trace of laughter in his words, "Looking for death!"

……

"Let's go, hurry up. I've transferred the Sri Lankan soldiers here. We can see Falling Star City directly from here."

Lake rode a horse and walked in front of the team.

A faint light appeared on the horizon not far away, and under the illumination of that light, a battle flag with silver stars painted on it appeared from behind the grass and trees.

Under the battle flags, many silver-looking fortifications appeared.

"That's the symbol of Falling Star City. Is there really no Sri Lankan army blocking our way here?!"

Several people nearby looked at Lake and Poro in surprise. They had also investigated the blockade arrangements of the Sri Kingdom, so the blockade of the Sri Legion outside Xingluo City was airtight. The tight blockade strength made them want to retreat.

"How did you do it?"

"Just disguise yourself as General Sri and give the orders."

Lake summarized briefly.

"That's it..."

After hearing Lake's answer, the Goethe warriors who asked the question looked at each other. They knew that although the words were light, the actual experience would definitely not be that simple.

After all, even these roads were blocked.

Anyone who attempts to approach the Sri Lankan military camp will be killed by arrows before being riddled with them.

Therefore, this can only be attributed to the strength of Lake and Poro themselves.

"Wait a while, go to the Xingluo City defense line, identify yourself first, and then go into the city..."

While listening to Oz talk about the next steps, Poro looked back.

The next moment, Princess Marlene beside her suddenly opened her eyes wide:

"Behind us, the Sri Lankan army is chasing us!"

"Has it been discovered?"

"But, this is still a long way. They shouldn't be able to catch up with us, right?"

Lake also looked back and saw the Sri Lankan army rushing out from the bushes behind them. They were very fast, but at this time, the distance between the group and the Starfall City in front was shorter.

"No—go faster!"

Poro was about to respond when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

[Circular Return: The Wizard of Oz: Facing Fear] The warning appeared again.

That feeling was like a guillotine slowly approaching my neck!

When he looked behind him again, he saw a golden crown painted on the flag fluttering above the approaching Sri army - it was King Sri!

"Hurry up! King Sri's magic could kill us from a great distance!"

There was no time to explain further. Poro said as he looked ahead at the flag of Starfall City. "We must get into the Starfall City camp before he catches up!" (End of this chapter)
