Chapter 14: The Lords Who Came to Plunder
"Despicable! Using numbers to bully the few! Unfair!!!" The dog-headed man whose paw had been dislocated shouted loudly, clearly having lost his already somewhat inadequate brain to anger.
Gua smiled and walked over, grabbing his other arm with his hand and pushing it forward with force. With a cracking sound, accompanied by a pained howl, the dog-headed man's other arm also dislocated. The dog-headed man was now left only with pitiful cries, no longer daring to say anything else.
The dog-headed man who had been trampled on the chest by Guagua got up, shrinking and seemingly wanting to attack Guagua again. Seeing how ruthless Guagua was, he suddenly became hesitant. Guagua walked over, kicked this hesitant dog-headed man in the chest again, and knocked him to the ground. He stretched out his hand and twisted it, also dislocating his arm with a crack. Not doing things by halves, Guagua operated on the unconscious dog-headed man in the same way, also dislocating its arm. This intense pain even woke up this dog-headed man from his coma, letting out uncontrolled miserable cries.
Valley melon slapped the dog-headed man with a palm, and he fell to the ground, his head almost hitting the ground. Only then did he see the situation clearly and stopped making a miserable cry.
Kua slowly sat back on his own bed, calmly looking at the surrounding dog-headed people who were already staring in shock, and asked: "Who still doesn't obey?"
People with dog heads, you look at me and I look at you, but none of them dare to speak out. There are only three guys lying on the ground, humming and groaning.
"You're all convinced now? Then hurry up and go to sleep! We still have training tomorrow!"
After putting the three dog-headed men's arms back in place, Gua immediately lay down on his own mat and fell asleep. The other dog-headed men looked at him, not knowing what to say as he didn't cherish the position of leader.
And so, the days returned to calmness. Logically speaking, Gǔ Guā should be the leader of these ten dog-headed men, but in reality he didn't really take care of things. Only when other dog-headed men interfered with his affairs would he jump out and give that guy who intended to provoke him a good beating. At ordinary times, he also did not oppress other dog-headed men.
They didn't know that it was because Gua Gu had no bottom line for the great wizard Xilang Okt and the mad warrior Harik, nor did he dare to expose his own strength too much, nor did he dare to show off too much.
The days passed in daily training and laborers repairing the castle, soon approaching autumn.
It seems that Sillon Oktoro was well-prepared, bringing sufficient materials from the south, and the entire Pailos Castle was finally repaired before winter.
Especially in the inner city, it has been repaired to seven layers under the strict supervision of many ice claws. The crystal-carved top of the tower emits a rich magical glow, making people dare not look directly at it.
As Palletsburg was being established, rumors of the Octo's return had already begun circulating on Vasa's land, and lords kept sending scouts to nearby areas to investigate the situation in Palletsburg.
In this way, three months have passed quickly.
During this time, the dog-headed people who were subjected to combat training tasks followed Harik everywhere to hunt down those reconnaissance scouts, but one key point was to stay alive.
Adequate food and cruel training all the time, after just three months, the original 1.4-meter-tall Gua Gua grew to around 1.6 meters tall, which is considered tall even among adult Dog Heads.
On this day, with some spare time between tasks, Guagua wore ordinary leather armor and walked in the outer city. He intentionally or unintentionally came to the outside and approached a group of laborers who were repairing the outer wall, among whom were Tudou and Tubao.
Kua pulled out two strips of dried meat with fat from his waist bag and secretly handed them to the two, asking: "How are our people doing?" Tu Duo tore off a piece of meat and hastily ate it, while Tu Ba calmly replied: "Report to the leader, our people train hard, use long spears, stab and thrust, so they need to be strong, therefore every day the first to finish is rewarded with more food!"
"Be careful, conserve your strength, don't be too flashy. Also, train more and take care of the little ones." Tubba nodded. "Save some food for the little ones!" Gua said to Tuba, who then awkwardly packed away the remaining meat.
Tuba's eyes lit up and asked, "Head, is there any news about Tusi?" Guan shook his head and said, "There has been no news from him for the past three months." Tuba's eyes dimmed and he said, "I don't know if it's good or bad inside."
Gua knew that these little brothers were not jealous, but truly worried, so he comforted them: "It's okay, don't worry too much. Their days will definitely be better than ours."
Orthogonal substitution, a whistle sounded, this is the gathering whistle of Crazy Warrior Harick. Gua immediately ran to the assembly point where the inner city was located. Within one minute, all the dog-headed professional warriors who were visiting relatives and friends returned to their troops. Under Harick's leadership, they took more than a dozen scout prisoners and walked out of the city.
According to the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance during this period, they already knew that some of the lords in northern Vasa had gathered together to besiege Pori Castle. These captured scouts were caught during this time.
As for those who were killed on the spot, they have now been dried and become rations.
Of course, the melon is not going to eat these fresh dry rations.
This was also the first time Gua Gua saw humans in this world. These humans had white skin and blue eyes, apparently the appearance of Westerners from their previous lives. However, the language they spoke was not English or French, but a universal language that Gua Gua had learned since he was an egg.
The inner city gate opened, a roar sounded, and a giant white bear carried the black-robed great wizard out of the magic tower.
The melon didn't dare look around randomly, it just followed the team out with its eyes on its nose and its nose on its heart.
Outside the city, there were several groups of mobs, with armor, robes, iron armor, long knives, short swords, and mallets. There was no formation at all, only the difference between cavalry and infantry could be seen. Whether it was cavalry or infantry, discipline was not strong, looking like a motley army without much discipline.
The army in front of him, roughly over five hundred people, surrounded Paresburg. From the colorful flags, it should be the lords from the Vasas area.
On the side of Pilersburg, there were only thirty or so Ice Claws, ten Dog Head warriors and a demonized half-beast warrior, standing alone. But looking at the expression of the demonized half-beast Harick, it seemed that it was not the Vasa Alliance army that surrounded them, but rather they who had surrounded the Vasa Alliance army.
"Lords of the North, why do you besiege my castle?" A refined voice rang out from the magic tower, loud and clear, stirring up the entire scene.
