The villain's way to tame the protagonist

His partner chewed his snacks and said incoherently, "If it weren't for that guy Mibaita not letting us round them up for beast fighting, I would have shown you what a thrilling experience is."

"Oh... I forgot that you, Ghoul, came from Blood Dust. I heard that guy is disgusting and doesn't treat people as human beings."

"That's all. You'll get used to it. That guy isn't as generous as Qing Jin, but he doesn't care much about people, to be honest. I'm still not used to the rules of the legion."

"Haha, but the old man is still very nice... I have long wanted to go to the battlefield over there with him to have fun, but unfortunately the number of people was full when I signed up."

"Everyone is like that. Now I have to stay here to accompany that kid Mibaita and that lioness Indrata... It's really unpleasant."

While the two were chatting, the crowds of people in the street below collided again. The man at the forefront with red eyes and holding an iron rod broke the neck of the gang member on the opposite side with one stick. The unscrupulous villains were beaten back step by step, which made the extraordinary person whistle in surprise:

"They are quite aggressive, going crazy. I've never seen them so ferocious when I visited downtown before."

"Because there are so many people, if you don't dare to resist, you deserve to be ridden on the head and shit on by those hooligans. But you are right, it seems to be quite enjoyable to watch from this perspective."

"Is that so? How should I put it... It's like watching a beast fight. If one side is clingy and has no temper, then there's nothing to watch at all."

"That makes sense... So that Brandt didn't do this because he wanted Faust to watch a beast fight? Does our legendary master have such a bad taste?"

"Who knows, maybe she just wants to play - wait, my communication magic crystal is ringing."

An adventurer took out a magic crystal from his pocket and answered the call lazily: "Hello, it's me, um...temporary job? What temporary job..."

The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and even became a little gloomy.

"Are you serious? You want us to fight that evil wolf? Didn't they say that the wolf could tear off a butcher's head with one hand? You want us to die?"

"…Just give me your opinion?"

After several more conversations, the adventurer spat fiercely downwards and hung up the call.

"What's going on, Tarantula?" asked the ghoul.

The tarantula rolled his eyes:

"Your Excellency Chuanqi's little follower has received new orders. What else can we do? Just do it."

*

The tarantula can no longer roll its white eyes.

The red-black wolf shadow, which seemed to have expanded a circle, threw him to the ground with only one breath left, while Hitana walked step by step towards the ghoul whose expression was gradually collapsing. She had an expressionless face, and seemed to release all the murderous intent in her body through the demonic shadow behind her.

"Maganlei, where are you?"

As she spoke, the wolf behind her seemed to make a faint sound, and the overlapping voices seemed to echo from the abyss, further crushing the ghoul's mind.

"I...I don't know, I don't know!"

He retreated in terror, his shaking hands barely able to hold his weapon tightly: "I was just following orders... following orders to stop you, I don't know--"

Bang!

The magic wolf grabbed the adventurer with its sharp claws, and then swung him to the ground without any skill. With a dull impact and crisp sounds of bones breaking, it died with its partner.

Hitana stood there, gazing silently at the majestic city standing on the earth, but did not move forward.

"Doug, Ma...Ma Ganlei, was she really captured?"

The girl turned her head to look at the wounded man hiding not far behind her, and tried her best to make her tone less fierce.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

The man kept coughing, his face twisted by his injuries and showing an extremely anxious expression.

"Yes... Miss Fenrir, a group of extraordinary people suddenly abducted Miss Brandt! Please go and save her!"

"..."

Just a while ago, when Xitana was about to rush into the Castle of Strife, this wounded man rushed out of the city on horseback.

Of course, Xitana knew Doug. He was one of the first people she rescued from the gangsters in the downtown area. He had been helping Xitana since then, and the two had met many times.

So after discovering Doug, the extremely anxious Hitana immediately asked about the situation in the downtown area. She didn't expect... the revolutionary army really did not lie to her, and there was indeed a huge riot in the downtown area.

Because the matter was urgent, Hitana did not ask Doug what the cause of the incident was. She planned to rush directly into the Castle of Strife and suppress the riot as soon as possible.

But Doug soon brought second news that almost made Sitana collapse.

——Marina was captured.

A group of adventurers of unknown origin kidnapped Marina, and no one knew where they went.

"Miss Brandt is a servant of Lord Faust... Although I don't know why Lord Faust didn't show up at this moment, if Miss Brandt gets into trouble, then you will definitely be attacked by Lord Faust!"

"And... and Miss Brandt has helped us so much. We don't know how to repay her kindness. Miss Fenrir, please go and save her!"

Doug, who was well aware of the dire situation that Maganlei's disappearance meant, tried his best to rush out of the lower town and wanted to go to the small town to look for Hitana. Fortunately, he met her just after leaving the Castle of Strife.

As soon as Doug finished saying the above, two adventurers suddenly appeared and confirmed his words.

The two guys were talking to themselves, saying something like "Our target is Faust, don't get in the way", and Hitana, who was furious to the extreme, beat them both to death on the spot.

"Ms. Fenrir!"

Seeing that Sitana was still indifferent and just staring at the Castle of Strife, Doug anxiously urged, "Can you think of a way to save Miss Brandt?"

"...Yes." Xitana responded in a low voice, her expression struggling, "The smell of Magan's tears, there is a little bit on them, I smell it, it's a little elusive, but it can be tracked."

The Head of Wind could vaguely lock onto Marina's location, but it was very, very far away from here.

"That's great!"

Doug was overjoyed and just as he smiled, the pain in his body made his face twitch again. However, he still tried hard to smile. This strong and courageous character was very consistent with the image of Doug in Hitana's memory.

"Go find Miss Brandt quickly, and please bring her back safely!"

With her fists clenched, Hitana seemed to want to walk towards the Castle of Strife, but she never took a step forward.

She lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice: "What about you? Riot..."

"We ourselves... cough cough cough!"

Doug patted his chest hard and coughed twice. Then he continued laughing and said, "You can't protect us forever, right, Miss Fenrir?"

“This is our fight!”

Make them believe in their own strength.

The words her sister had said to her echoed in Hitana's ears. In silence, the wolf withdrew his gaze from the Castle of Strife and looked at Doug with great solemnity:

"Then I'll leave it to you. Don't get into trouble. No matter what... don't lose your life easily, understand."

"Got it, Miss Fenrir, the same goes for you."

Xitana nodded slightly, she turned her head to look in a certain direction, slowly exhaled a breath as hot as steam, and the long-suppressed brutality and rage rose in her dark red eyes.

"You...are dead."

Her whisper, like the roar of an animal, echoed in the wind, and her figure had already disappeared in the sonic boom, leaving only a red-black afterimage mixed with a hint of snow-white.

"Ms. Fenrir... is so strong."

Doug, who was coughing non-stop, climbed onto his horse and said with great admiration, "She will surely become a legend like Faust in the future. Before that... I have to do everything I can for her!"

The wounded man shouted angrily and drove his horse back to the Castle of Strife. His expression and eyes were so vivid. Whether it was his desire to protect the lower city or his hope that Xitana could rescue Marina as soon as possible, they were all completely real and heartfelt thoughts.

——Even though he was one of the very few Sitana loyalists who were gathered by Cliff to try to expose Marina's conspiracy.

A few minutes later, a brown-skinned woman appeared on the land.

"In... Indra..."

The tarantula stretched out its hand to her, "Potion... hurry up. If you are one minute slower, we will all die."

According to the order, they should have pretended to have a collision with the evil wolf and then run away immediately, but who knew... the monster almost killed them at first sight!

It wasn't that they were almost there, she saved their lives... Although I don't know why, at least their lives were saved. Now I have to ask that woman Indra for more rewards. Damn it... Women are really not as reliable as the boss!

Thinking this, the Tarantula waited for Indra's recovery potion, but one second passed, two seconds passed... more than ten seconds passed, and the woman still stood there, indifferent.

Feeling a little uneasy, the tarantula tried to squeeze out the last bit of ether and said in a hoarse voice, "Indra, what are you going to do—"

Gala!

Indra broke the tarantula's throat with one foot, and at the same time casually walked to the still unconscious ghoul and crushed his head directly.

"You really have a lot to deal with... But this time, I'll give it back to you."

The woman sneered and pulled the corner of her mouth: "Whether it's the death of that idiot evil wolf or the death of Bayepop's henchmen, it's a good thing... It's best if both sides die at the same time to save trouble."

The damn servant who would inexplicably find her a lot of things to do every day and order her around by relying on the name of Faust, actually found a good thing for her today.

Faust killed people in the Castle of Strife and tortured Indra at will. This was a slap in the face, but Bayepop not only did not return to the Castle of Strife immediately, he didn't even have any news. This performance... made many people in the Howling Legion waver.

The news that Bayepop was planning to abandon the Castle of Strife and Indra began to spread within the Howling Legion. Adventurers who were unable to go to the battlefield with Bayepop but were very inclined to him also began to get restless.

As people's hearts were in turmoil, Indra, who had already decided to join Faust, prepared to carry out a major purge, but he did not dare to make any big moves and there was no suitable opportunity.

But Maganlei Brandt created an opportunity for her.

She asked Indra to arrange all the people who needed to be cleaned up into this operation on the pretext of testing Fenrir, and then just wait for them to die.

Although it involved the high-end combat power of the Howling Legion, this was actually the most serious request that Maganlei had made in recent times - because Faust's invitation to Fenrir had long been known to everyone, and as a servant, it was natural for her to assess Fenrir before the battle.

This is good for everyone. For the guys who are assigned to do this, those with low status can just be sent out casually, thinking it is just a small job, while those with high status think they can use this opportunity to establish some relationship with Faust, and are unlikely to refuse.

Although Indrata didn't know where Maganlei got the confidence from, and was sure that Fenrir could kill all these people, whether they died or Fenrir died, it would be beneficial to Indrata.

As for Maganlei...she is as loyal to Faust as ever.

As for the rest, I probably don’t care.

"The copper rust and white feather arrows are also silent?"

The man playing with the dagger frowned slightly: "Is this evil wolf so difficult to deal with?"

His name is Movich Orr, nicknamed Hunter. Although it sounds very ordinary, he is an invisible senior figure in the Howling Legion. Only a small number of members of the Howling Legion know of his existence, and few people outside know his name.

He stayed in the Castle of Strife to keep an eye on the ambitious Indrata, to prevent her from causing any trouble while Bayabop was away.

Although there hasn't been any trouble during this period... her wanton use of the guild's resources and manpower to work for Faust's follower has made the hunters very unhappy.

"Brother Hunter, could it be that the lioness Indra secretly..."

The adventurer next to the hunter made a throat-slitting gesture, and the hunter shook his head: "She is not brave enough to fight with me. If anyone dies at her hands...she will not survive this night."

Then, he looked at the girl sitting on a stone not far away and suddenly smiled and said, "So, why don't you consider us, Miss Maganlei?"

The man swung the dagger and said, "Compared to that brainless woman, if we need a collaborator, our boss is a more suitable and qualified candidate, isn't he?"

I don’t know what the situation is with Bayepop that makes the hunter think that he would cooperate with Faust, who almost chopped his wife into pieces.

"I cannot represent Mr. Faust's will."

Miss Maganlei, who was the "hostage", said calmly: "If you want this qualification, you need to fight for it yourself."

"Haha, aren't we trying it now?" The hunter raised his eyebrows. "I'm testing the quality of the evil wolf for Lord Faust in advance. If she can only fight me to a draw, then there's no need to trouble Lord Faust."

There was no expression on Marina's face, but her heart had not been so restless for a long, long time.

Less than ten minutes after Crow gave her the information that Aytana was about to return to Strife Castle, Marina immediately came up with a plan to lure Aytana away again. The plan was simple, effective, and would not arouse suspicion... By the way, it would also increase control over Strife Castle in the future. She had already done the best she could.

Because the hunters' mission is to test Xitana, if Xitana is really not their opponent, Marina can also use Anser's name to force them not to hurt Xitana. Therefore, Xitana will not be hurt no matter what, at most she will be held back by the hunters.

All we have to do is hold Xitana back until the riot in the lower city is over.

What Marina couldn't accept was not that Shetana discovered that she was the one who instigated the riot, but that the riot was ended by Shetana herself, making everything go to waste.

The mortals who could have gained the opportunity to be independent through blood and fighting were still protected by the extraordinary people at the last moment, and the self and dignity that they instinctively picked up collapsed like dominoes... This was definitely not what Anser wanted to see.

Therefore, this is naturally not what Marina wants to see.

Just hold off Shetana until the riot is over.

Before leaving, Marina had ordered all links to proceed as quickly as possible. She knew that after she left, the adventurers would definitely encounter various problems due to the loss of point-to-point control, but this was the limit of what Marina could do.

At this point, all she could do was to try her best to delay Chanshitana and then pray for fate's favor.

"coming."

The hunter with a distracted look suddenly said, "Very fast. No, too fast. This speed is a bit abnormal for a level three... Humph, to be noticed by that legendary lord, I must have something special."

He stood up and glanced at Marina. "Give me ten minutes, Miss Maganlei. In ten minutes, I will be able to see clearly whether she is qualified to face the sharp blade of Lord Faust in the ring."

"...Good luck to you."
