Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor
#97 - Giant Fraud
"......Just as he was about to make a move, the little tailor said: Hey! You sew clothes for me, mend my pants, or else I'll slap you with my ruler, I can kill seven people with one blow, subdue two giants, and capture a unicorn alive, am I afraid of you lot at the door?"
The people who heard the little tailor's words were so scared that they ran away.
From then on, no one dared to provoke the little tailor again, and so, the little tailor became king for the rest of his life."
Having said this, Poro looked at the girl in front of him and blinked gently.
"How was the story?"
"Not bad."
Leike's eyes narrowed into beautiful arcs as she smiled quietly, "So, in the fairy tale, that tailor Seven...
Should have been a wise man who relied on wisdom and courage to solve challenges and become king?"
"Yes, but here, his wisdom seems to be used in the wrong place."
Poro shrugged his shoulders, raised his paw, and a golden light condensed into a page of a book, "Moreover, I don't think he would be a good king even if he won."
On the golden page, there was a small man with his hands on his hips, standing on layers of giant corpses, with a confident smile on his face.

"Kill two... giants?"
Poro looked at the unsealing ceremony and pondered slightly.
It seemed that they had killed a giant, but at the cost of Leike's magic-breaking sword being destroyed.
If they felt that they could easily kill giants because of this success.
That would be the real danger!
They seemed to be unharmed, but with the power of giants, if they were really touched, they would be half-paralyzed even if they didn't die!
Moreover, in this more realistic world, even if those giants would fight to the death because of words or stones...
When they eat people, it's impossible to have infighting, right?
Not to mention, there is also the blackened version of the "Brave Little Tailor" - Seven.
Unless...
Star Killing Sword.
Poro suddenly thought of this name.
But then, he shook his head, the news about this sword, or... think about it another day.
Oh right, and... unicorn?
What is that? Like in fairy tales, in some forest?
"It's time to sleep, Leike, other things, let's decide after we get to Bo Ren's capital."
Poro shook his head, watched the girl close her eyes, then raised his head and looked towards the distant sky.
The moonlight faded, the night was still long.
I only hope that in Bo Ren's capital, everything can go smoothly.
...
Towering walls rose from the end of the field of vision.
Bo Ren's capital was already close at hand.
The architectural style of the Bo Ren Kingdom, all the cities, had extremely high walls, these walls were much higher than those of other kingdoms.
Although giants had the ability to climb walls, the walls still reduced the probability of scattered giants intruding.
And the walls of the capital were much higher than the previous Aim City!
People were entering the city from all directions, forming long queues, under the influence of Seven's giant army, many town residents began to move to the capital.
"It seems that the situation here is indeed much better than in Aim City."
Leike looked at the situation in Bo Ren's capital.
"But I feel that although there are many soldiers here, they don't seem to be as good as those soldiers in Aim City?"
Poro's gaze moved from the magnificent tall city walls to the soldiers who were training outside the city walls.
These Bo Ren soldiers had already lined up.
The armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands were engraved with some small runes, overall, they looked more refined than what they had seen in Aim City.
Poro looked up again—
The tall city walls were connected to a square platform at intervals, and a special type of "Giant Butcher" was placed in the platform.
"Yes, the soldiers here are indeed not as good as what we saw before, or... experienced."
At this time, the veteran Yin Wei also spoke,
"Their training level should be no different, maybe even higher than that of Aim City, but... their combat experience is not the same."
The veteran paused, pointed to a soldier's face on the side of a military formation,
"What can you see from his eyes?"
Poro followed the sound and looked over, and found where it was different.
The actions and training of these young soldiers in the capital were very standard, but... their eyes were filled with some kind of eager excitement.
"Can you see it? I suspect... they have never really fought giants."
The veteran added, "Their expression is the excitement shown for establishing meritorious service, I don't know how the people in the capital are mobilizing—
But these people obviously don't realize that fighting giants is like sending them to their deaths!
They haven't seen their comrades torn apart by giants, haven't heard the painful wailing lingering in their ears...
They may know, but they are not prepared."
"So you mean, Bo Ren's capital is likely..."
"But it doesn't matter, there are many Bo Ren soldiers here, maybe this team is just new recruits, most of the veterans may be in the capital."
Yin Wei smiled and stopped talking.
Entering the city, Bo Ren's capital was divided into inner and outer cities.
In the outer city, residents came and went between the rows of houses, and many residents had already taken their property and money to the inner city.
A part of the outer city had been cleared, and Bo Ren soldiers were arranging criss-crossing iron cables on the rooftops.
"It seems that they are not so lazy."
Poro said, and continued to walk towards the city.
These iron cables would indeed play a small role when giants invaded, but the real decisive killing power was still destructive weapons such as the "Giant Butcher".
"Poro, look at those soldiers, what are they doing?"
Just then, Leike suddenly pointed to a place in front, where many Bo Ren soldiers were gathered together.
Two soldiers who looked like their armor was worn, and their bodies were covered with many scars, were pushed out by several soldiers wearing newer armor.
They looked excited, as if they were shouting something loudly.
"Those who were sent out seem to be from Aim City?"
Leike's eyes noticed the badges on the armor of the wounded soldiers, although they were all soldiers of the Bo Ren Kingdom, the badges of different legions were slightly different.
"Go and listen to what they want to say?"
The group walked up, and could hear the soldiers arguing.
"Your pre-war preparations are too slow, the depth of the city's planning is not enough, and the giant traps in the outer city alone cannot stop those nine giants!"
"Yes, please be sure to tell Commander Ward that the deployment must be accelerated, and the inner city must also be prepared!"
Two wounded soldiers from Aim City said anxiously.
But the soldiers in the capital in front of them seemed a little disapproving, they frowned, and said a little irritably:
"You lost, we won't lose, the capital's defense is more complete than you think, it's just a liar - even if he brings a few giants, what's the use?"
"That guy is not just a liar anymore!"
A wounded soldier from Aim City, with more urgency on his face, "We also thought that he was just helping the giants, but in fact, his control over those giants is by no means ordinary!
Because of this, the plan set by the commander-in-chief of our Giant Countermeasures Army has been broken!"
"Our Commander Ward said that your commander is a bit old, and his command is wrong, if you can't kill the giants, won't you kill the cheater first?
Relax, buddy, our commander has prepared a lot of methods that haven't been used yet!"
But the capital soldier curled his lips and said.
"It's really that Seven is too strong—"
The wounded soldier from Aim City wanted to argue, but was interrupted by the capital soldier.
"Okay, okay, thank you, everyone."
The capital soldier waved his hand and said a little perfunctorily, "I will bring your words to Lord Commander Ward, you have traveled a long way, and you are injured, so take a few days off first."
The two wounded soldiers from Aim City opened their mouths, but said nothing.
After a few seconds of silence, they nodded and turned to leave.
And those soldiers in the capital continued to talk and laugh, and returned to the building.
Poro and the others did not understand Bo Ren's military affairs, watched the Aim soldiers disappear into the crowd on the street, and continued to walk towards the center of the city.
"The front is Bo Ren's palace, no idlers are allowed in, wartime control, if you are foreign warriors or here for the reward...
I'm sorry, His Majesty doesn't have time to meet you for the time being."
At the gate of the palace, Bo Ren's guards wearing black armor saluted Leike and the others.
When Leike came, many people had already been driven away by the guards.
"We came from Aim City, entrusted to deliver intelligence."
Leike said, and took out the badge of the Bo Ren officer, which still had a trace of blood from the officer.
"Huh?"
As palace guards, they knew more than 90% of the badges in the Bo Ren Kingdom's military system, and could quickly judge the identity of the comer - this was a basic skill.
The guard picked up the badge and examined it carefully.
"The adjutant of the Countermeasures Corps commander?!"
He looked a little surprised, and his expression became serious, "Wait a moment, I'll report it."
After a while, the palace guard came back, returned the badge of the dead adjutant to Leike, and said:
"There are a lot of people coming to the palace recently, His Majesty agreed to meet you, but the time needs to be set tomorrow, please forgive me."
Leike and the others nodded, in this situation, there must be a lot of people going to the palace.
Tomorrow is not too late.
"Let's go? Find a place to live in the city?"
But after they started looking, they found that although Bo Ren's capital was large, most of the taverns and guest rooms were full.
Many people from the outer city had moved back to the capital, and Leike and the others had come a little late.
"Ah? Are we going to have to camp in the city??"
Seeing that the next tavern had also hung up the "Full" sign, Leike finally couldn't help complaining.
And Poro also understood that if there were no accidents, they would probably have to sleep on the floor...
Find a store floor to make do with.
But just as they were preparing to find out which store floor looked comfortable, they suddenly noticed a noisy sound in the middle of the road!
"What are they doing?"
The group approached the crowd, but saw...
An old man with wrinkled face and white hair, fell to the ground.
His eyes were flowing with turbid tears, and his whole body was covered with dirt.
Several young people around were pointing at the old man on the ground, uttering foul language endlessly, and throwing a lot of garbage, vegetable leaves, and stones at the old man...
And the people around were watching coldly, and no one came forward to stop it.
