Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

Dwarves are strong; the power hidden within their bodies is unbelievably profound.

While Lake and Polo also possess some extraordinary abilities, their direct combat prowess is definitely inferior to these dwarves!

Even if they could take advantage of the element of surprise to injure or even kill one or two of them,

if the remaining dwarves become more vigilant...

it wouldn't be worth the cost!

Moreover, according to Lake, if they make a mistake, it won't just be a matter of getting injured!

Polo unfolded a roughly sketched map of the forest, marked with two distinct circles.

One represented the dwarves' lair, and the other, the Boron Kingdom's camp!

Polo drew a line in the center—

The forest maze stood as a barrier in the middle.

In the 'pen' behind the dwarves' wooden house, Polo saw several humans who had lost their minds, with calluses on their palms.

In addition... there was a pit in the maze where the dwarves hid sundries—

containing some weapons from the Boron Kingdom.

Based on this, Polo could mostly confirm that at least some of the humans held in the 'pen' were elite soldiers from the Boron Kingdom!

In other words... the Boron Kingdom and the dwarves were irreconcilable.

All that was needed was to build a bridge across the forest maze!

...

On one side of the forest, the Boron camp.

"Sergeant, you're back?"

Two soldiers looked up at Polo as he walked back from outside the camp, their faces showing surprise.

"Yes, I did. I went to the center of the forest and found... the dwarves' lair!"

Polo nodded and said in a deep voice.

"What?!"

Several elite soldiers looked shocked; they didn't expect that this sergeant could complete such a perilous mission alone!

"Yes, but... it's indeed very dangerous there, and the dwarves are very strong!"

As Polo spoke, he coughed twice, and a very realistic look of pain appeared on his face.

He handed back the two elite soldiers' notebooks, with more lines drawn on the map, leading deep into the forest maze!

"It's very large, and I only found the central lair by luck."

Polo sighed heavily, flipping through the notebook in his hand, which had two or three relatively complex runes drawn on it.

The two elite soldiers looked at them but couldn't make heads or tails of them.

"Sergeant, what is this..."

"Runes of the forest maze, carved on several trees. These few, I... also managed to obtain."

Polo met the two elite soldiers' surprised gazes and explained calmly,

"We can only enter the forest if we decipher these runes..."

Polo wasn't lying about where these runes came from; they did come from the forest maze and were indeed runes of the maze. Part of the dwarves' daily work was to check and repair... any runes that might be damaged.

And the energy contained within the runes was the same faint purple light that Polo also had in his body!

But...

Polo couldn't personally lead the Boron elite soldiers through the maze.

After all, Polo was disguised as a sergeant, and showing abilities that were too far beyond normal would definitely arouse suspicion!

The only way was to let the people of the Boron Kingdom decipher the maze on their own!

Of course, if they didn't have the ability even with the runes—

then they probably wouldn't be able to inflict any effective damage on those dwarves who possessed strange abilities!

"Give these things to the prince. I believe His Highness will make a reasonable judgment!"

"But do we really have to fight those dwarves..."

"Yes, we are already irreconcilable with those dwarves!"

Polo said with hatred, his words filled with endless animosity!

At this moment, many elite soldiers had already returned to the camp, and they stood aside, listening to Polo speak.

Polo took out a few emblems from his pocket and placed them in the hands of the elite soldier in front of him:

"Look at these emblems. What do you think of?"

The elite soldiers looked down, and their pupils shrank. They recognized that these were the emblems from the comrades who had been dragged away during the previous battle with the dwarves!

"This is... Sergeant, did you see—"

"Yes, I saw them!"

Polo looked around, looking at the somewhat stunned eyes of the Boron elite soldiers, "Do you know how they are doing now?"

Then, Polo laughed hatefully and described the scene in the 'pen' behind the dwarves' wooden house in detail!

He had indeed seen such a scene with his own eyes, and the described situation was extremely realistic!

When he finished speaking, every Boron elite soldier looked angry!

"Those despicable dwarves!"

"We must kill them!"

Just then, an elite soldier suddenly saw Polo turn around and walk towards the outside of the forest again—

"Sergeant, are you injured? Rest in the camp tonight..."

Several elite soldiers hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

"No need."

Polo shook his head; he had deliberately disguised the injuries on his body to match those of the Boron elite soldiers.

Whether it was for the subsequent actions or to avoid the dangerous figure of the prince as much as possible, Polo couldn't stay in this camp!

"There is another dwarf chasing me in the forest. I must go out and find a way... to kill it!"

"What?"

Several elite soldiers frowned upon hearing this.

"Sergeant, we will kill it with you here!"

"Yes, Sergeant, you have so many injuries; it's too dangerous!"

But Polo resolutely walked forward, waving his hand to stop the elite soldiers from stopping him.

"Those dwarves are very cunning; they won't come out when there are many people!

Enemies in the dark are very dangerous. I will get rid of that guy for His Highness. Don't follow me and assist His Highness well!"

Polo's words were firm, and he even showed a kind of tragic heroism of "the wind is rustling, the Yi River is cold!"

All the elite soldiers behind him were shocked by this scene.

They watched Polo's disappearing figure in the forest, sighing one after another:

"So... this is the sergeant..."

"I always thought that the sergeant wasn't much stronger than us, but now I know that I'm far behind..."

...

Later that night, the black-armored prince slowly opened the notebook in his hand, and his hands began to tremble violently.

"My sergeant, really found the location of those damn maggots?!"

"Yes, Your Highness, although he didn't see... that princess, he found the emblems of our dead comrades!"

Looking at the emblems, the prince's eyes became even redder.

Obviously, some emotions in his heart had reached an uncontrollable level at this moment!

He carefully put the notebook into his arms, stood up instantly, put the helmet on the wall on his head, and pressed the long sword at his waist!

"Your Highness, what are you—"

Several elite soldiers were stunned, vaguely feeling uneasy in their hearts.

"Now, immediately—strike the camp and go to the forest maze!"

"But, Your Highness, it's still late at night..."

"Have you not learned to march in the middle of the night?!"

The ruthless coldness that poured out of the prince's words instantly silenced several elite soldiers!

The prince lowered his head again, no longer looking at the subordinates in front of him, only the last sentence, faintly sounded:

"This is an order!"

After several elite soldiers had left the tent.

The prince put his gaze on a rose in a bottle on the table, muttering to himself like a demon:

"My princess, don't be afraid... I'm coming to save you soon... you can only be mine—

I will dig out all the eyeballs of everyone who has seen you!"
