166 Father's Love(1/2)
Urarte River…
This is a small river on the east side of the Tarik Mountains. Perhaps due to the special terrain, the river flows even in winter.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the giants come here every year to pray, hoping that the babies of the giants will die less prematurely in the coming year.
Although the giants are extremely talented and have strong survivability, they also have many weaknesses. For example, their fertility rate is extremely low, making it difficult for them to have babies.
But after birth, the mortality rate is even more alarming. Many babies even look extremely pale at the moment of birth, and their lips are blue and purple, and then die directly. Some grown-up giants bluntly said: This feeling, as if the whole world is in trouble for him.
The giants call this a catastrophe of birth, and only by surviving this catastrophe can they grow up safely.
Of course, it is difficult for a grown giant to die, so there must be gains and losses.
As time went by, those wise people among the giants realized that on the banks of the Uralt River, babies seemed to have an easier time coping with the catastrophe of birth, and their survival rate improved slightly.
Today is the birth of another newborn among the giants.
Due to the war some time ago, the Giants lost a few active members. Although the amount of loss was not large, it was still a huge loss considering the population of the Giants.
Therefore, the fact that another mother in the giant clan gave birth this time is still a matter worthy of attention. Another addition after the war is still very meaningful. Many members of the giant clan will come spontaneously.
Especially recently, the Tarik Mountains have been unstable. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of this great mother, many powerful giants came to protect her and avoid accidents.
At this time, there was a giant with an unusual size. He was much stronger than the other giants, and his clothes seemed to be more gorgeous. He even had a shawl on his shoulders!
Of course, at this time, he was surrounded by at least ten giants who looked like they were of very high status, sniffing around for something.
"Very good, this is the place." The giant took a deep breath and said with a little intoxication on his face.
"With the patriarch personally searching for the place of life, the new baby will definitely be safe and sound." A giant with an old face said.
"For life," the patriarch said with intoxication, "everything will be safe and sound."
The giant female giant with a big belly walked over slowly, with a bit of anxiety and distress. The female giants on the side comforted her one after another, and the giants from the four states were also on guard.
As time passed by, countless giants became more and more nervous, and everyone was waiting for that moment.
"Ah..." Gradually, the scream of the female giant rang out. She was a giant after all, and her vocal cords were particularly developed. The screams resounded nearby. In front of such shouts, many leaves were directly shaken off, and even branches were blown away.
All are broken.
Of course, this is also a normal phenomenon, but it covers too much movement, such as the footsteps of a large number of soldiers...
"Oh my God, it seems like the cry of a giant. It's so scary." A soldier muttered softly. In the dense forest, the terrifying roar echoed for a long time.
"It's so scary." Many soldiers looked a little frightened. Such thunderous shouts were enough to reflect the terrifying strength of the giants.
"But the giant's cry is so strange." Some people also expressed such doubts.
"It must be the giant egg. Could it be that it's a critical moment?" Unilla on the side said excitedly with a somewhat excited look on her face.
"That should be the case. Don't rest, everyone, and hurry up." Viscount Leofric said loudly, "We must take advantage of the cover of this voice to seize the treasure.
As long as things are successful, everyone will receive five times their salary this month!"
Triple the salary!
Many soldiers were excited. Although the viscount's previous bounty was 80,000 dinars, it was for the leader who obtained the giant egg alone.
They can have five times the salary, which is enough to feel happy. The unimaginable dinar is not something they can count on.
Talot, on the other hand, held the handle of the knife tightly.
He doesn't care about the so-called five times salary, because his undisclosed income far exceeds the so-called salary. What he really cares about is this great achievement, the great achievement that established his status in the heart of the Viscount!
…
"Jie Lin's voice is quite powerful. It seems that the possibility of having a new baby this time is still very high." The old patriarch had a faint look of expectation on his face.
"Wait...what's the sound?" At this time, an old man seemed to have his ears twitching slightly and his face became serious.
Um?
Many giants changed their expressions. They had also heard the sound of a large number of footsteps. They were very light. They were obviously not from the same race!
"careful!"
"There are enemies!" Many giants changed their expressions, and the sharp-eyed ones even spotted a few shadows in the distance.
"Over there!" A giant threw a simple javelin, and blood suddenly spurted out, accompanied by screams.
"Discovered, kill!" Viscount Leofric was also very decisive. He discovered that the other party was aware of the traces of himself and others, and decisively gave up his previous hidden plan, shouted, and rushed forward.
"It's damn humans!" Many giants also changed their expressions. These damn humans still found this place!
"Protect Jie Lin," the old patriarch roared, and most of them rushed over, punching out the brains of the two Fiery Lion Realm infantrymen.
"Be careful!" an elder yelled as he watched a young Fierce Lion infantry wielding a long sword and stabbing at the old patriarch.
"Kill!" Viscount Leofric shouted, the long sword in his hand bloomed with deep orange fighting spirit, and the amazing sharpness was displayed here, easily cutting through the flesh and blood of one giant after another!
"Kill that noble first!" Some giants also noticed Viscount Leofric, who was showing off his might, and lifted up the boulder on the ground and threw it viciously at the opponent.
Rumbling... The ground seemed to be shaking, and it easily ran over several Lion Realm infantrymen, causing screams and making many soldiers tremble with fear.
Fortunately, there weren't many rocks nearby for them to throw.
"Jie Lin!" With a roar, several Fiery Lion Realm infantrymen surrounded the pregnant Jie Lin, and this made countless giants feel angry.
"Despicable human beings!" the old patriarch roared angrily, and his terrifying giant fist smashed one Fiery Lion Realm infantryman after another. Many soldiers were even trampled into bloody pieces by the soles of his feet.
"Don't retreat, they are few!" Viscount Leofric looked at the somewhat declining morale and shouted anxiously, "No matter success or failure, eight times the salary!"
Of course, Viscount Leofric, who shouted these words, was bleeding in his heart, but he had no choice. The giant leader in front of him was stopped by him, but the opponent's terrifying iron fist, if not for the opponent's intention,
He was scrupulous and unwilling to stray too far from the other giants, fearing that he would have already been killed by them.
With Viscount Leofric like this, the other soldiers were naturally even more demoralized. When another Infantryman of the Lion Realm was killed by the opponent, the huge tree even killed three elite militiamen of the Lion Realm.
The soldiers of these viscounties finally lost their morale.
"Can't beat it!"
"The casualties are too terrible. These giants are simply ridiculously strong!" Many soldiers shouted. They couldn't believe that so many people couldn't defeat a mere thirty giants.
"Our reinforcements are coming too!" Viscount Leofric shouted, because the main force was also coming. This time they moved forward lightly. Because of the previous voice, he was able to select 70 higher-ranking soldiers.
, hide your figure and move forward secretly.
It was precisely because of this that we were able to get so close with the help of shouts. The battle had been going on for so long, and it seemed that the main force behind them was about to arrive.
"Hold on!" Unilla over there also shouted. He was not able to move easily, but he still took the noble cross guard sword and severely cut off a giant's thigh!
Although Unilla can only be regarded as mediocre in the eyes of many nobles, he is still the eldest son of Viscount Leofric. He has received good tactical guidance and combat skills instruction since he was a child, and his strength is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.
At this time on the battlefield, in the eyes of other soldiers, this Unila was also a very terrifying warrior, especially his desperate efforts after being injured, which made many soldiers even more excited.
"Our people are coming!" Another soldier shouted. They were the Viscount's confidants. They knew the importance of morale and spontaneously boosted it.
Of course, only a few officers understood that the power they received was just a boost, because their rank was really poor. If they were to deal with different armies, they might have performed well.
But this time the enemy is a giant!
It seems difficult to deal with giants and low-level soldiers!
Rumble…
At this time, the earth trembled again, and there seemed to be a faint shout from a giant.
"Our people have arrived too!" Many giants shouted, and they heard familiar footsteps, which were completely impossible for humans to do!
"The giants also have reinforcements!"
"How can we fight like this!" Many soldiers' excitement, which had just risen, suddenly fell to the bottom.
"This..." Wunila's face suddenly became very exciting.
"Retreat, don't fight!" Viscount Leofric also changed his color at this moment and gave the order anxiously. And he himself rushed to the front, relying on his terrifying seventh-level fierce lion realm glory.
The strength of the nobles covered the retreat of large numbers of soldiers.
Although Viscount Leofric cares about treasures, he understands the importance of his own strength. Treasures may increase his prestige and even strengthen his foundation to cope with possible changes in the future.
However, if the strength is too much, even if the treasure is obtained, it will not be of much use. Moreover, he calmly observed the battlefield and felt that the chance of victory was not great, so Viscount Leofric decisively chose to retreat.
He is not a reckless man without brains. He has been able to sit in the southern part of the kingdom for decades, which makes the southern part of the Lion Realm Kingdom always relatively stable. Naturally, he will not lose his mind and lose his strength for a moment.
"Father!" When Wunila saw this scene, he felt uneasy in his heart. He looked at his old father's white beard floating in the air, fighting spirit faintly gathering in it, and the terrifying power rising in it. Where could he find the usual strength?
So scheming?
"Unila, lead the soldiers away, these giants can't keep me!" Leofric couldn't help but feel slightly bitter in his heart when he saw his son's reaction. Unila was too gentle and decisive, and couldn't do anything.
enough determination.
This often leads to fatal consequences. Why can't this son inherit his cruelty?
"Talot! Take Unilla and leave quickly!" Viscount Leofric felt that his son seemed a little difficult to persuade, so he had to order his men to lead him to escape.
"No, Lord Viscount, I am willing to fight for you until the last moment!" When his Lord Viscount called his name, Tallot was startled and seemed to realize something.
My lord, as well as the distinguished young master Unila, were blocking the pursuers from behind. As an officer leading the soldiers, what was he doing? How could he take the initiative to escape?
Looking at Viscount Leofric who was desperately trying to stop the old giant leader, Tallot felt guilty for a moment. He shouted these words and thought to himself: If he escaped this disaster, the Viscount should
To be continued...
