Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

The next day.

"Indeed, there are still many impressive people in this world."

Lake and Polo were walking down the street.

This city was close to the capital of the Bo Ren Kingdom, so the buildings appeared much more prosperous and grand, but now, the environment seemed somewhat desolate.

The streets were empty.

As early as about a week ago, residents had followed the Bo Ren Kingdom's notice and began to evacuate the town in an orderly manner.

And today, it was even more so.

Polo and Lake looked around, seeing vehicles carrying packages of all sizes, and the crowds were mostly carrying luggage.

Most people's eyes were filled with sorrow.

They looked at the surrounding scenery, their eyes revealing reluctance.

"Yeah, that young hunter didn't look much older, but that marksmanship... it was too amazing."

Polo also looked puzzled.

"There must be magic involved," an old soldier said from the side, raising his gray eyebrows and explaining, "No one can hit a flying bird in the sky without looking.

I saw it the first time he fired, his gun was aimed in the wrong direction."

The old soldier placed his hand on his musket, slowly uttering the words:

"His bullet, it curved in the air!"

After that, the group didn't discuss the giants anymore. Since they had decided not to participate, there was no need to waste time here.

"Those Bo Ren sentries gave us a good map, but it's a pity it doesn't have the other side of the capital."

Polo shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the people passing by.

All the shops in the city were closed.

The day before, after leaving those squares, the group had already started looking for people selling horses and other supplies.

But there was no luck.

It was getting late, and instead of tiring themselves out on the road, it was better to rest in the city for a day.

Now, the only hope of buying anything... was to find it among these passing caravans.

Finally...

"Hello sir, are you selling your horses?"

Lake walked to a fairly large team and said to a steward.

"We don't have any extra, little girl."

"Then, could you give us a ride?"

"Uh, we have a lot of goods, and there's no extra space..."

The steward said, just about to wave his hand in refusal, but then he saw the few gold coins Lake took out, and the golden light instantly made it hard for him to look away.

"Uh, of course, if you want, we're happy to help."

Near the afternoon, Lake and the others got on the caravan's carriage.

The steward was quite conscientious, happily accepting the gold coins and specially vacating an entire carriage for Polo and the others.

In the dust, the caravan mixed with a large group of people from the city, heading out of the city.

This was the last group of people leaving the city. Many teams carrying a large amount of equipment and goods were mixed in with the crowd. After this day, inside the town...

There would only be Bo Ren soldiers waiting for battle, and some people who wanted to stay in the city, taking their chances.

The city's tall walls were already close at hand.

The sky was cloudy, and the sunlight appeared dim through the gaps in the clouds.

But at this moment, an urgent horn sounded across the sky—

"Woo—"

The next moment, urgent whistles and shouts suddenly rang out from the direction of the city gate!

In the distance, the tall city gate was rapidly rising, cutting off the crowd. Seeing this scene, everyone still in the city looked stunned—

Several teams of mounted Bo Ren soldiers came galloping, shouting loudly at the crowd:

"Go, hurry, put down your things, follow us—"

"Sir, what... what's going on? What happened?"

Several merchants couldn't help but ask.

"The giants are here, they are very cunning, or rather... that damned swindler is very cunning, the giants deceived our sentries!"

"What!?"

The crowd instantly erupted in an uproar, and all the Bo Ren people trembled!

Many women and children even began to cover their faces and sob.

Those outsiders who didn't know much about the giants also began to panic and try to escape after seeing this scene.

But they didn't know where to escape to!

The Bo Ren soldiers also knew this, and what they were doing was to minimize civilian casualties as much as possible.

Several soldiers quickly combed through the crowd, and people gradually began to abandon their luggage and run for their lives with the soldiers!

Polo and the others rode on the caravan's horses.

"No way, are we this unlucky?!"

Polo and the others didn't do anything conspicuous at this time. They also followed the crowd, heading towards the streets closer to the city center.

And just as they had escaped a few steps—

"Boom!"

A deafening loud noise!

Polo turned back in shock, only to see a hole in the center of the wooden city gate.

Two huge palms grabbed both sides of the hole and began to tear it apart...

On the other side, on the stone city wall, several fingers of the second giant were gripping it. He forcefully bent his fingers, and then a huge, ugly head rose up!

The terrifying shadow covered the already dim sunlight...

It was a giant, climbing up the city wall.

The giants were here!

But not long after, inside the city, facing the city gate, several solemn string sounds pierced the air!

It was the Bo Ren people's giant crossbows—Giant Butchers!

The giant who had just climbed over the city wall couldn't dodge in time. Two crossbow bolts aimed very accurately. The giant only had time to block his face with his hand, and one crossbow bolt shot towards his eyes!

And at the same time as it came into contact with the giant, a layer of blue light quickly appeared on the surface of the steel crossbow bolt!

"Pfft—"

A muffled sound, blood splattered everywhere!

The giant covered his eyes and let out a deafening howl.

The other crossbow bolt pierced into the giant's shoulder blade, and a large amount of blood poured out of the giant's wound, but it seemed to further enrage the giant's bestiality!

The giant opened his abyss-like mouth, roared, revealing the molars inside, which were pale white and sharp!

He dodged the third crossbow bolt and roared angrily, chasing towards the direction from which it came—

The ground was shaking.

The houses knocked down by the giant collapsed on the ground, bricks and stones flying!

Polo followed the crowd and the soldiers riding horses in front, heading towards the other direction of the city.

Along the way, along the streets and buildings.

Armored soldiers came and went.

All the Bo Ren soldiers' eyes carried a certain unspoken aura, and their movements were without a trace of hesitation.

Perhaps they had already made some kind of determination long ago.

Special iron chains were stretched out between the houses and streets, crisscrossing each other, forming a spider web-like nest.

The civilian team passed by, and on the other side of the city gate, a small team of Bo Ren cavalry came.

"We will protect you as you leave here, stay close."

The leading Bo Ren officer drew out the long sword in his hand. On the sword of every soldier in this team, there were slightly simple patterns engraved.

That was also a kind of magic engraving array.

"If there are still giants behind us... we will be responsible for luring them away, you escape on your own—

I'll only say this once."
