Chapter 170 The Wolf Unleashes its Killing Spree
Welcome to the fantastical world of fantasy novels! The entrance is here:
The two sheepdogs playfully chased each other, charging straight towards Richard and Oscar.
Susan, who was standing not far away, was worried that they would disturb the old man's conversation, so she quickly used her mind to command them to return.
Richard watched them turn around in unison and rush to Susan's side before looking at Oscar with a curious expression.
"Did the wolf rush straight to Frostfollicles?"
...
Oscar shook his head.
"At first, many people thought so, and many territories sealed off their city gates, but unexpectedly..."
"The Earl of Run Wolf led his army on a detour and attacked the River Valley territory first. In less than ten minutes, the River Valley territory fell."
Richard didn't interrupt.
Waiting for him to continue.
The Valley Territory is in a rather unique position, bordered by the Wolves to the west of the North to the left and the Frostfoil to the south of the North to the bottom.
Surrounded by two powerful figures from the North, the Lord of the Valley felt completely safe, which led him to abandon the training of his army.
They indulged in a life of extravagance and debauchery.
He was the most famously extravagant lord in the North.
Don't even mention the wolf.
Even if Qi Feng sent thirty imperial guards, they could easily take him down.
But Oscar's next words made him frown, and a strange sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.
"I heard..."
"Not long after the army of the Wolf Riders arrived in the Valley Territory, the Valley Lord was so frightened that he opened the city gates and surrendered on the spot, kneeling down to welcome them."
Speaking of which...
Oscar swallowed hard.
His eyes were filled with unconcealed horror.
"As a result, the count refused to surrender, stabbed him to death with a single blow, and hung his body on the city gate for all to see."
"Then the Wolf Army invaded the city and dragged out and beheaded all the family members, confidants, and servants of the Valley Lord."
"From the elderly housekeeper to the newborn baby, not a single one was left..."
"Rivers of blood flow, my lord!"
Oscar seemed to have witnessed something terrifying. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and his lips were trembling.
...
This bombshell news hit Richard hard, leaving him a bit dazed.
What is this doing?
The biggest trump card in the hands of the Wolf Riders is their mobility. If they can take Frostfoil Territory in a blitzkrieg and use it as leverage, they can gain the upper hand.
This is the most logical approach.
It's also the safest way to play.
But instead of focusing on the main force, he went to pick on the easy target, the River Valley Territory.
Let's just squeeze it...
Why would you want to crush it?
Kill the nobles!
The Tu family!
This isn't a rebellion, this is madness!
After the war, even if the enemy lords or nobles were captured, they would be released politely as long as the ransom was paid.
This is the principle of warfare among nobles, so as to avoid being wiped out by the other side if they fall into misfortune one day.
now.
The wolf has shattered this bottom line, setting an extremely bad precedent!
That's good now.
It is estimated that all the nobles in the North will regard the Wolves as their mortal enemies. Even lords who originally intended to remain neutral and change their allegiance at any time will turn to Frostfodder out of fear.
Next, if the Wolf tries to attack Frostfowl Territory or his vassal territories again, he will surely encounter the fiercest resistance.
Richard rubbed his throbbing temples.
I was speechless for a moment.
He had previously imagined a scene where Frostfox and Wolffly collided with Earth, and the legions clashed in a final battle to the death.
The reality was even more absurd than the drama!
...
can't read.
I really don't understand it.
The only thing I can still understand.
That was the purpose of Oscar's trip.
Baron Snowstag is currently on a summer hunt in the Thorn Mountains, leaving his territory sparsely populated with few troops stationed there.
Oscar was probably worried that the wolves might suddenly rush into the snow deer and slaughter them, causing a horrific disaster like that in the valley.
That's why I came here to test the waters with this wolf cub.
After all, his previous chiffon cakes were too strange, leading many to believe that he was still hiding something, a claim he himself never denied.
So much so that...
After the wolves raised their army.
This might lead Oscar to mistakenly believe that Chiffon is a secret force prepared by the Wolf, secretly hiding a lot of high-end power like the Rock Armor Earth Dragon.
in the case of.
Then the snow deer, which are also located in the far north of the North, are in big trouble!
...
Having figured this out, Richard actually had more admiration for Oscar.
This goatee is shrewd and cunning.
Yet he remained utterly loyal to his master.
He risked his life to venture into the territory of Chifeng, the vassal of the Wolf, to probe for information; such loyalty is truly commendable!
Richard raised his hand and patted Oscar on the shoulder, his tone sincere.
"I understand what you mean. Snow Deer Territory is currently vulnerable in defense, and you're worried, right?"
Oscar's expression changed drastically when his secret was exposed. He was about to open his mouth to explain when Richard waved him off.
"Didn't you send someone to the Thorn Mountains to inform Baron Snowstag and tell him to come back immediately?"
Oscar sighed deeply, his face full of helplessness and anxiety.
"have."
"However, there are far fewer lords participating in the summer hunt this year. My lord hasn't returned yet. He's probably already deep in the Thorn Mountains, trying to capture more mounts."
"At this point, finding any trace of their movements is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack."
As the name suggests.
The Thorn Mountains are truly all mountains; without flying mounts, trying to find someone in such a place is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Richard nodded.
"In that case, I won't keep you at Chiffon Hotel overnight. Head back early later. If Baron Snow Deer returns, please give him my regards."
Upon hearing this...
Oscar, who had been on tenterhooks for days, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then bowed and said he would definitely convey the message.
Richard smiled.
"Was Baron Snow Deer satisfied with the Venus honey I gave him last time?"
When this is mentioned...
Oscar's face finally lit up with joy, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in admiration.
"More than satisfied, the Baron said it was the best honey he had ever tasted, and he kept praising the generosity of the chiffon cake."
"I was fortunate enough to get a small spoonful; the taste was sweet and rich, with an unforgettable aftertaste—I'll never forget it!"
Richard laughed heartily.
"I'm glad you like it. I'll give you a bottle of Silver Star later as a thank you for helping me find so many dog breeds."
Oscar was deeply moved.
When nobles visited each other, they would prepare high-class gifts, but these were generally ordinary luxury items, and rarely would they send food that could sustain life.
There might not even be enough for our own consumption!
And the other party was so generous as to give him a bottle of Silver Star honey in private!
In other words, he has already gained a certain status in the other person's heart.
When the two first met, the young lord couldn't even remember his name!
He bowed again.
His tone was full of gratitude.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, and thank you for the generous gift of chiffon cake!"
"If the Ferret Trading Company comes across any other rare dog breeds or flower seeds in the future, we will definitely deliver them to Chiffon Territory immediately!"
...
Richard watched Oscar's figure disappear around the corner of the city wall before turning his gaze away.
He turned and walked toward the lord's manor, where the sheepdogs were still frolicking in the flowerbeds, and Susan was bending down to groom them.
Upon seeing Richard approach, the little ones immediately wagged their tails and came over, nuzzling his hand with their soft heads.
Richard wasn't in the mood for that. He bent down and petted the most affectionate one, then asked Susan to take them out for a walk.
He walked to the head seat and sat down. The hall was quiet, with only the rustling of the wind blowing through the flowerbeds outside the window.
He kept thinking about the two shocking news stories he had just heard.
The more you think.
The more absurd it seems.
What he couldn't understand most was why the valley lord's entire clan had been massacred...
He remembered that the Lord of the Valley had sent out banquet invitations several times before, and Earl of the Wolf had said that they were all empty talk and that going would be a waste of time.
Although it was a bit impolite.
But these seemingly minor incidents suggest that while the two may not have a personal relationship, they probably don't have any major grudges either...
This is so strange!
