Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 93: Town Overturned
In the city of Aim, at the central castle, from the top of the tall tower, you can overlook the entire city.

The messenger from before leaned forward slightly. In front of him stood a commander of Boren, dressed in dark black armor. He was also... the president of the Boren Kingdom's Giant Countermeasures Corps.

But at this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the veins on the hand holding the sword were bulging.

"Commander-in-Chief, the three giants at the north gate have been drawn into the deceleration zone as planned."

"Ah."

The commander nodded.

He understood that this so-called "following the plan" was not easy, as it meant... countless Boren soldiers and troops would lose their lives in such a tactical plan.

But in the Kingdom of Boren, it has always been like this.

Because, if the giant goes beyond the plan, the ones who will die will not just be the few people who are currently serving as bait!
"Commander-in-Chief, the two giants at the south gate, one seriously injured and the other slightly wounded, are being led towards the second stranglehold."

"Ah."

The commander nodded, his eyes, through the telescope, swept over this...dead silent yet boiling city.

The battle between the Kingdom of Boren and the giants lasted for a long time.

From ancient times to the present.

At the most dangerous time, humans on this plain were almost wiped out, but at the same time, humans also had their glorious moments.

But one day, the founder of the Kingdom of Boren died.

"What about the west? Have the giants there arrived?"

The telescope's narrow field of view swept across the west, and a cloud of dust rose, but it was too far away, and the layers of stacked houses blocked the observation line of sight.

"The messenger has just arrived and has confirmed the identity of the western giant and updated the giant roster."

"Who are those giants?"

"There are three giants in total, labeled as Emerald Lake No. 2 and No. 3, and Sunset Forest No. 1. Among them, Emerald Lake No. 3 Giant is recorded in the roster for the first time."

"Humph, that guy even found a giant in this deep forest. Damn it..."

Commander Bo Ren raised his eyelids slightly, revealing a few bloodshot veins in the whites of his eyes.

Closer still, there were Boren soldiers urgently setting up chains.

These chains are also mostly made of special steel and are used to slow down the giants.

The giants have excellent physical fitness. If they don’t hit the fatal spot, even the “Giant Butcher” will find it difficult to cause fatal damage!
The only weakness is that the giant has a very low IQ.

So most of the time, the Boren soldiers would sacrifice their lives to attract the giants and lead them into locations where special chains were set up. These chains would weaken the giants' strength and physique to a certain extent.

The giants' activities are largely based on the magic within their bodies.

And if he is restrained in place and uses multiple "Giant Slayers", there is a high probability that he can kill the giant!

In the Kingdom of Boren, in the past, most giants who dared to enter the town alone—

They all died under such tactics.

"According to the Sentinel Corps' tracking, that guy should have nine giants in total. Will the remaining one be at the east gate?"

The solemnity in Commander Bo Ren's eyes deepened.

He looked at the map in front of him. It was a detailed tactical map of the city of Em, covered with various crisscrossing marks.

Too fast, too fast!
Now, the markings on the tactical map are only half arranged.

But this "giant army" has already arrived!

It's about taste and taste.

The first, the bait troops, had been completely devoured by the giant's army.

The second possibility is that the human traitor has seen through his and others' tactics and directly ordered the giants to march day and night and reach the foot of Em City!

But no matter which possibility it is... the plan to bury all the giants under the city has failed!

"The ninth Titan and the deceiver who betrayed humanity, Seven, have not yet been found. Seven has not been found near the other eight Titans!
They are just acting on their own desires!"

"That guy... is he hiding far away? Why did he leave the east gate open? Even if he still has one giant left, how could he possibly stop so many people from leaving the city?"

Commander Boren stared intently at the location of the east gate on the map in front of him, then looked up.

The buildings on the east side of Em City are relatively low. In fact, if the giants want to attack the city, the east gate is a better choice.

"Could it be... you want to be surrounded by three people and leave one behind?! You have such a big appetite..."

Commander Bo Ren picked up his pen and drew a few more lines on the map in front of him. "The sharpshooters and the...special support team have also been deployed at the east gate.

If the last giant, and the deceiver, if you come -

Just stay here!"

The commander said this, as if he had made up his mind. He beckoned a few soldiers over, took out an emblem, and said:

"Order the Second, Fifth, and Sixth Reserve Armies to leave here and return to the capital to re-establish the defenses, starting from the east gate, along with the civilians.

Our current preparations are not enough to kill all eight giants.

There are also a total of 32 'Giant Killers' scattered across the country being transported to the capital.

Save your strength and make plans later."

"Commander-in-Chief, you..."

"I do not go."

"Sir, why!?"

The messenger opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief.

"I miscalculated the time. The Titans arrived at Em City earlier than I expected, causing everything that happened now. I must take responsibility for the deaths of civilians and soldiers. Also, those who remain here to die need a leader."

"But without you——"

"The generals in the capital can also command. Now, go and pass the message. This is an order."

"Yes!"

The soldier said nothing more, straightened his back, saluted, and walked down the tower.

The commander picked up the telescope again and looked at the smoke and dust rising from three sides of the city. The soldiers who stayed behind would use their lives to buy time for those who escaped from the east gate.

"Oh, giant..."

The commander was very old, and within the limited time he had, his battle with the giant had lasted for a long time.

Under his command, the number of giants killed is close to ten fingers.

And this is not a small amount of data.

If you calculate the bounty the mercenaries received for killing the giant, the wealth he got could probably buy a hundred mercenary groups!
He held the pen in his hand and suddenly felt uneasy.

"why?"

He suddenly frowned. For someone like him who has been walking on the edge of life and death for many years, premonitions often have a definite meaning!

The next moment, he raised his head and looked towards the east——

"Snapped--"

The pen in his hand broke with a sound.

The telescope in front of him also fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

In the east, outside the city gate, a huge rock rose high into the sky like a meteorite, flying towards its location - the castle tower!

The first rock missed.

But the second rock rose from the horizon just a few seconds later!

This time, after seeing the curved parabola, Commander Bo Ren knew that he could not escape.

"why is that?"

Commander Boren found it a little unbelievable.

In all the years he had fought against giants, he had never seen a giant use throwing, because the throwing posture and landing point were not so easy to master.

Most giants today don't like to use tools.

Although they are strong enough to perform such movements, their accuracy is much worse!

"A giant who throws..."

Commander Boren looked at the approaching shadow, and in his last moment, a flash of horror passed through his mind.

He thought of a legend from the ancient times of the Kingdom of Boren, about... the Giant King's Court that almost appeared!
The next moment, the boulder hit the castle tower with precision!

"Boom!"

Amidst the huge sound of collapse, people all over the city watched as the black tower collapsed rapidly!

Deathly silence and the smoke of destruction filled the air.

From reality to everyone's heart!
"Command him—"

Outside the east gate, the cavalry captain who was guiding the evacuation of civilians uttered a few words in a daze.

Then, the ground began to shake, and everyone looked towards the mountains and forests outside the east gate - a giant, and... a human.

When they saw the giant, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

It was a greater terror and despair. The more the Boren soldiers dealt with the giants, the more they could feel a kind of despair and terror from the bottom of their hearts!
"Why does that giant... have weapons!?"

A panicked voice rang out from the crowd.

Yeah, Giant, why do you have... equipment?!

He was an extremely tall giant, but that was not the most oppressive thing about him. This giant was actually - also wearing a huge suit of iron armor!

Although the surface of this iron armor was rough, it actually covered most of the giant's body!

The huge iron armor wrapped around the giant's torso.

It was full of cracks and covered with red rust, and there were even a lot of broken vines and mosses climbing among the stains in the corners!

The giant's head was covered by an equally huge iron helmet, almost as big as half a house!

A large part of the front of the helmet was missing, revealing the giant's ugly and distorted face.

Its face was covered in wrinkles and dead skin, its skin was grayish-white, and its long, dirty, yellow-white hair hung down from under its helmet like... a dead willow tree.

And in one of the giant's hands, he held a huge stone—

It was exactly the same rock that had just been thrown up and destroyed the castle tower!
In his other hand, he was dragging... a huge iron sword that looked like a pillar supporting the sky. Like the armor, the sword was covered with rust.

But in the hands of the giant, it looked extremely terrifying!
The ground was pressed into a long groove by the huge weight. As the giant sword approached inch by inch, everyone felt their hearts sinking.

"My fellow countrymen, where do you want to go?"

A joyful voice came from above the giant's head.

This was naturally not said by the giant, but by a human. Everyone knew the identity of the figure wrapped in heavy armor above the giant's head.

A deceiver, a betrayer, a self-proclaimed leader of giants, and... a former tailor.

Seven.
