Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

The white-armored soldiers advanced through the jungle.

The leading knight-commander stared blankly ahead, as if a special magical mark guided his direction.

But just then, from the bushes beside them,

several crossbow bolts flew, accurately striking the unarmored parts of two white-armored soldiers!

The Boran elite soldiers succeeded with their attack and quickly retreated without waiting to see the results—

Afterward, a flurry of arrows landed harmlessly, but the white-armored soldiers did not give chase.

"Why are they acting like this…"

Prince Boran's expression was equally grave. With such a clear disparity in troop strength, he understood the need to gather more information.

After all… he still had to face the dwarves after this.

He knew about the Sino Kingdom's army, but it was supposed to be a normal knightly force, not this… strange entity!

However, if they didn't pursue after being attacked, that was good news!

"Continue harassing them with hit-and-run tactics to reduce their numbers!"

Prince Boran turned to look at his subordinates. Of the forty-plus men they had started with, only about ten remained, and… all of them were wounded!

The Boran elite soldiers could only grit their teeth and charge forward again with their bows and crossbows!

They repeatedly used hit-and-run tactics at mid-range to inflict casualties on the white-armored soldiers before retreating to a safer distance.

But just as they had injured a dozen or so white-armored soldiers in a nearly "undamaged" manner,

the knight-commander leading the Sino army stopped. His eyes seemed to gain some awareness and intelligence as he looked into the forest:

"You are soldiers of the Boran Kingdom. Why do you repeatedly provoke us on the territory of the Sino Kingdom? Do you seek war?"

Hearing this, the Boran elite soldiers hidden in the forest held their breaths.

They didn't actually want to fight such a large army.

After all… they had come here for infiltration, not annihilation!

At that moment, Prince Boran spoke, his voice elusive, making it impossible to pinpoint his location:

"Then what are you doing here?"

"This is a matter for our Sino Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with you!"

The knight-commander said emotionlessly, "We are under His Majesty's orders to bring Princess Snow White back to the palace!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining dozen or so Boran elite soldiers froze.

They knew—

They were finished!

Sure enough, Prince Boran's murderous intent was no longer concealed:

"No—she is no longer your princess. She is mine, and she belongs only to me!"

With these words, everyone present knew that this already strange negotiation had completely broken down.

A portion of the white-armored soldiers, no longer silently marching, drew their swords in unison and charged into the forest towards the Boran elite soldiers!

Just as… the Queen had said before her departure.

Kill all who dare to obstruct them!

When the direct conflict began, the Boran elite soldiers felt immense pressure.

They discovered that these Sino Kingdom white-armored soldiers, while not particularly strong in combat or speed compared to themselves, and even somewhat stiff in their movements,

seemed to be a group of puppets unaffected by pain!

Even when swords pierced their bodies and their muscles began to twitch uncontrollably,

they didn't utter a single cry of pain!

Moreover, even this detached force of soldiers outnumbered the Boran elite soldiers several times over!

…

On the other side, the remaining white-armored soldiers had reached the deeper part of the forest.

And in front of them, a dwarf emerged—

It was one of the only two surviving dwarves—Second Dwarf, Kacha.

Upon encountering the dwarf, the Sino Kingdom army's fighting spirit surged. The Queen's initial objective might have been only the dwarves!

Dwarf Kacha looked at the approaching sword blades.

Without the slightest panic, he extended a finger, which glowed with purple light, bent it slightly, and uttered an onomatopoeic word—

"Ka—cha!"

In the next moment, within a certain range in front of him, the limbs and bodies of a dozen white-armored soldiers instantly flashed with purple light, twisting and contorting!

Bones shattered, emitting the same kacha sound!

He killed several people in a matter of seconds!

Instantly, groups of white-armored soldiers charged forward, but they all died to Kacha's sound.

In Kacha's eyes, the purple light grew brighter and brighter, almost solidifying into streams of flame!

The energy entwined on the bodies of those who died spread out in front of Kacha, as if… forming a circular line of death!

Among the seven dwarves, Kacha's mastery of purple energy was second only to that of the Great Dwarf, Danglang.

He stood there, coldly watching the fearless soldiers fall one after another.

"Almost… Divine Dew is running low. Wait a little longer, and I can… kill them all!"

After killing dozens of people, he muttered to himself and began to retreat.

But just then, from the corpse of a white-armored soldier at his feet—

a ribbon of neon light shot out like a viper from the gaps in the armor!

It instantly wrapped around Kacha's ankle!

"What is this—"

Kacha was stunned, trying to break the ribbon, but suddenly felt a strange drowsiness.

Only the violet energy within his body supported his balance, so that although he swayed, he did not fall…

However, this also prevented him from using his previous attacks!

More white-armored knights surged forward, wielding their greatswords—

Then, flesh and blood flew!

…

On the other side, the battle of the Boran elite soldiers was also almost entirely one-sided!

The Boran elite soldiers, in extreme numerical disadvantage, could not resist the tide of Sino soldiers in armor, fearless of pain!

But… on the other side, near the bodies discarded by several Sino soldiers,

Prince Boran silently stepped forward, lifted a soldier's helmet, and slowly unfastened his Sino Kingdom armor…

On the neck of the dead Sino soldier, there was indeed a shining ribbon!

"As expected, is this… witchcraft?"

Prince Boran took out the crystal pendant "Spell Shatterer" from his bosom again, touched it to the ribbon, and recited the awkward incantations from before.

This time, however, a different form of phantom flickered within the crystal cone.

"No, this is a chain spell… there is a source…"

Prince Boran's gaze swept around, instantly locking onto the knight-commander in the center of the Sino Kingdom white-armored formation.

"It should… be you!"

In the next moment, Prince Boran leaped up, still stepping on the tree trunks in his black heavy armor, attacking the Sino Kingdom knight-commander in the very center of the formation from above the white-armored soldiers!

He accurately stepped down, onto the knight-commander, using the force of his descent to press the knight-commander to the ground.

Then, the longsword in his hand swiftly slashed—

Not directly killing the knight-commander, but cutting a square opening in the knight-commander's chest armor!

And in the opening, there was indeed a ribbon, flashing with a special light!

"So that's how it is. Sino Kingdom, you will lose—this entire army!"

Saying this, Prince Boran pierced the Spell Shatterer into the knight-commander's ribbon!

Immediately, there was a sound like something shattering.

The magic light on the surface of the ribbon instantly underwent an unstable detonation, and an invisible wave spread throughout the entire military formation—

All the Sino knights swayed.

They showed horror, their hands covering their chainmail-covered throats, wailing painfully and hoarsely as if suffocating, and finally—

fell one after another!
