Chapter 450: Death of the Wolf Leader
The wolf leader was stunned for just a moment before he reacted. He turned around and pulled out a saber from the bedside, and chopped down without thinking.
"I belong to Count Basil."
However, before the saber fell, a golden emblem was almost touching his face. Under the golden fleur-de-lis was a black wolf's head emblem. This was the emblem of Count Basil.
The leader of the wolves reacted very quickly. In a flash, he realized that the girl in front of him was Count Bazel's subordinate.
then--
He increased the strength of his knife a little more, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes, ready to risk his life.
The saber swung down and the head fell to the ground.
The wolf leader opened his eyes wide and never closed them until his death. He saw with his own eyes how the girl killed him: she reached out her hand and simply and roughly twisted his head off.
Muscles are extremely elastic, and bones are more resilient than most people imagine. It is not difficult to break a person's neck, but it is difficult to twist the head off. The wolf leader's head fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and rolled to a wooden box. This was originally filled with the enemy heads obtained by the Winter Wolf Guard after their victory. The wolf leader always felt that it was not enough, and wanted to collect some more to turn in for credit. Now it is probably enough.
Everything happened so fast that before Lina could even finish her first sentence, the wolf leader's head had been torn off.
His headless body seemed to have no reaction. He was stunned for a moment before slowly falling down. Not much blood spurted out. The girl's rough technique twisted the broken end into a twist, and the blood was squeezed back into the cavity.
Putting the emblem back into her pocket, the girl turned around and left the house without hesitation, not caring about the body lying on the ground at all, like an elegant winter wolf in the north.
The living are people, the dead are flesh, there is nothing to worry about.
She came very early and not many people were awake in the camp. She walked leisurely from room to room. Her blood-red hair jumped in the camp like a burning fire.
When the soldiers woke up and lazily opened the door, they were horrified to find many corpses piled in the camp.
As for corpses, we see a lot of them. One day, there will be a few horrible corpses brought into the town.
But the corpses before his eyes were all those of the Winter Wolves, even all of them were the high-ranking members of the Winter Wolves, from the strongest alpha wolf to the wolf claws and fangs below, and even a few wolf bloods - that is, team leaders.
The bodies of these people all had their heads cut off, or maybe not, but they were all headless bodies.
These bodies were arranged and stacked, as if woven into vine chairs. The corpses of these winter wolves in the camp were piled up into a small pile, and on top was a throne made of heads.
These heads were impaled on the spear tips, one close to the other. The winter wolves, who used to have strict hierarchy, were now crowded together without distinction, supporting the girl sitting on top.
The girl had red hair and her face showed neither excitement nor fear. She held her cheek with one hand and looked at the winter wolves below expressionlessly.
The soldiers of the Winter Wolf Guard stood there in a daze. Some of them had trembling legs and water stains on their trousers. They were brave - most people had a blank mind, and their hearts were filled with overflowing fear and the desire to surrender.
Bang.
A team leader knelt down. He seemed to want to say something, but his trembling vocal cords made him unable to utter complete words. Gradually, almost everyone knelt on the ground, with only a few frightened people still standing there in a daze.
The girl slowly stood up, and those who were standing stiffened suddenly, and then gradually slid down -
Only the upper body slid down.
Lina looked around and found that no one in the barracks dared to look at her.
Nodding with satisfaction, the girl who suddenly appeared in the military camp spoke for the first time:
"Tell me, where is the Resistance?"
Isaac and Gwen are now near Grizzly Town. They have been waiting here for a long time with several teams of musketeers.
The news of the fall of Caven Town was reported to the town last night. With the speed at which the Winter Wolves gather, they should be able to set off today.
There is only one road from Grizzly Town to the north, and the resistance army has already dug traps on this road. As long as the Winter Wolves attack, they will have to take this road whether they are going to Caven Town or to the forest where their camp is located.
By then, while the Winter Wolves are in chaos, the Resistance can take the initiative and fire at least two rounds of bullets, which is enough to repel the Winter Wolves.
This could curb the momentum of the Winter Wolf Guard, at least stop them from slaughtering their own people, and the resistance army could also develop for a while.
If we don't seek to annihilate but only to kill, the risk is not great no matter how you look at it. This was the strategy decided before the attack on Caven Town.
In order to prevent any accidents, Gwen even brought the body of Lady Nora with her. She was very quiet before entering the battle, but she was not completely uncommunicative.
But the result was still unexpected.
The winter wolves were particularly patient this time, and did not show any signs of setting off until almost noon.
This also made Gwen and Isaac a little confused.
Did the Winter Wolf give up on the town of Cavan?
That shouldn't be the case. That's an important food supply base for the Winter Wolves. There was so much food stored in the town that it couldn't be moved back to the camp, so they had to distribute a considerable portion of it on the spot.
The Winter Wolves are starting to get hungry, so they just don't care about what's happening over there?
Gwen and Isaac looked at each other, and both felt something was wrong.
Suddenly, Isaac's eyes focused, he walked to an open space, waved upwards, and soon a peregrine falcon landed on his arm.
He spoke quietly to the peregrine falcon, took some food from his pocket and fed it to the bird, and the peregrine falcon flew away.
Gwen looked a little surprised: "You also understand bird language?"
"It's normal for an investigator to know a little bit about everything." Isaac didn't explain too much. He looked unhappy. "Bad news. We probably won't be able to keep the Winter Wolf."
"What's going on?"
"Just now, the informant in the town reported that there was chaos in the military camp. The bird just went up to take a look and saw that many people were dead inside."
"Ah?" Gwen was confused. "Why are there deaths in there? Mutiny?"
"It's hard to say, considering the winter wolf's style, maybe it's just a normal change of alpha wolf."
"Will many people die if the wolf is replaced?"
"Very likely." Isaac turned his head and looked towards the town, his eyes flickering. "Bazel gave the Winter Wolf Guard a high degree of autonomy, so that the leader wolf can make more flexible judgments and decisions on the battlefield, and can also plunder the territory appropriately to quickly restore combat effectiveness, but this will bring a problem."
"The alpha wolf has too strong a hold on the winter wolves. If we want to replace the alpha wolf, we must conduct a major purge."
