Sometimes, being a cook is a very boring profession...
At least, that's how the Frost Giant Chief Hemis sees it at this moment.
It is a rare variant among Frost Giants.
In addition to his majestic size, Hemis also possesses the rare talent of spellcasting among Frost Giants.
In the Frost Giant tribe dominated by the power of blood, Mother Hermes undoubtedly became the chief of the tribe after she reached adulthood.
In the long period that followed, Hermes gradually unified all the tribes of Frost Giants.
It banned all other tribal names and established the kingdom of Frost Giants in its own name.
Of course, the tribesmen still call it chief...
Frost giants whose average intelligence is below the 10-point level do not care about these factors that they consider useless.
They are loyal to their powerful chieftain and their inherent knowledge...
Therefore, Hermes had to make some new considerations.
It requires a group of minions or servants who are slightly smarter than the frost giants.
If all goes well, they should now have completed a nice raid.
Before the lava dwarves have completed effective blocking, push the battle line directly towards the opponent's axis city.
This plan is not very clever, nor is it necessarily easy to work.
But if it's a frost giant, the situation will change...
But a cook ruined Hemis's raid plan, turning the original lightning raid into a full-scale tug-of-war.
Hermes detested such inefficient warfare.
Because in its view, the lava dwarves are already its resources.
But now, it has no choice but to fall into the hedging consumption of "internal resources".
Therefore, Hermes deeply hated the cook who made everything go wrong.
It doesn't know how its plan was leaked.
Frost giants don't give birth to traitors because none of them are that smart...
Due to the extremely xenophobic and harsh perception of the outside world, no outside creature would ever set foot in the territory of the Frost Giants.
So, what went wrong?
Or is it prophecy?
But although those dwarves are a little smarter than the frost giants, they are not good materials for learning spells.
Hermes was puzzled by this.
Fortunately, it received unexpected help, and the price it paid was just an armor that it had no use for.
The craftsmanship of the dwarves is indeed good, but what does their ancestral armor have to do with the frost giants.
So Hermes graciously agreed to the deal.
Judging from the current battle situation, the effect is not bad.
However, just when Hermes was thinking about how to quickly end this "internal fight", a mage in black robes teleported in.
"Giant King, you are probably going to be in trouble."
The mage spoke.
Hermes lowered his head and looked at the other person. He didn't like this mage very much.
Because it always feels that the other person is looking at it without that kind of respect.
"trouble?"
"You mean, the frontal battlefield advance has been blocked?"
Hermes was a little puzzled by the other party's words.
The opponent's next performance made Hermes fall into a kind of horror:
"...We are leaving. This is compensation for breach of contract."
"You're a smart guy, but luck doesn't care about that."
"For the sake of us breaking the contract first, I advise you to go hide in other places first."
The other party threw a magic package towards Hermes, and then disappeared.
Hermes suppressed the anger in his heart and opened the magic package.
Suddenly, a large amount of treasure poured out from inside.
Even Hermes was immediately shocked.
It didn't expect that the other party actually handed over such a large amount of compensation.
Hermes casually grabbed a handful of treasures in his hands and began to explore them.
The treasure was very clean, so clean that it made Hermes panic...
It understands these black-robed mages, they have always been a group of bad guys who can adapt to the changing circumstances.
Greedy, treacherous, notorious...
But now, they have actually given up so much treasure and want to cut ties with it.
Obviously, the trouble this time was far beyond what Hermes expected.
What went wrong?
Hermes did not know that it had not received any relevant emergency battle reports from the front line.
Everything is as usual, everything seems to be progressing steadily...
And just when Hermes was thinking hard about the origin of the danger, the earth suddenly shook violently!
The palace of Hermes also began to shake this way and that!
Then, there was a roar like the roar of some majestic beast!
And that roar seemed to be just the beginning.
Soon, the continuous roaring and the trembling of the earth made Hermes unable to sit still any longer.
At this time, the world of the Frost Giants seemed to be falling into the wrath of thunder.
Hermes staggered out of the palace, and with him were many Frost Giant maids and servants.
Then, Hermes saw the sky that seemed to be stained with blood.
On the distant horizon, a truly sky-high giant is attacking everything in the Frost Giant territory!
Hermes felt the sudden tremor of his heart for the first time in a long time, which was a kind of fear and trembling that arose spontaneously.
Why?
Hermes didn't know.
It wanted to escape, escape from this land that brought it endless glory, but now it was trapped in the frozen soil of the Dream Demon.
From the caster's cold, rational perspective, the Frost Giant's civilization will not disappear as long as it is alive.
As the only spellcaster and wise being in the tribe, it can restart its ambitions and great achievements in another wild world...
But Hermes just stood there.
At that moment, the shadows of the spellcaster and the frost giant seemed to have completed the final contest in its mind.
"I hunted mammoths when I was a minor. Now that I am older, the mammoths are also bigger..."
Hermes murmured.
Then it picked up its weapon and flew into the sky.
Just another mammoth...
…………
…………
The frost giants surrendered...
They are lucky.
Because more frost giants fell in their cold country.
The dwarf king looked at the trembling Frost Giant general lying on the ground with complicated eyes.
When fighting it, the opponent was obviously so brave.
But he just went back and took a look, and then he ran over in horror and surrendered.
It was as if it had been pulled out of its bones and could no longer hold its head up.
Shivering like a pitiful creature, the dwarf king was quite annoyed.
It does not enjoy the joy of defeating a powerful enemy, but feels that everything comes unexpectedly and at a loss.
But when the dwarves below sent an urgent report, some understanding appeared on the face of the dwarf king.
Then, there is the complexity that is difficult to describe in words.
The powerful enemy who gnashed his teeth for it and angrily denounced its evil, fell forever together with its kingdom.
And everything is just because of the meager kindness of a cook...
The absurd reality is more shocking and... boring than a third-rate drama...
The dwarf king shook his head.
It's better to go back and hammer its fire...
