A soft mist rises from the river. The waves gently lap at the river bank, making a splashing sound. The morning light has already appeared from the horizon, and soon the sun will appear in the sky of this new day.
A few deer who were drinking water on the stone beach by the river suddenly raised their heads in confusion: There seems to be something wrong with the sound of splashing water today?
Suddenly, a small, grotesque spindle-shaped object covered in dark colors broke through the white gauze-like mist and slid towards the river bank almost silently.
This frightened the herd of deer. They jumped away from the rocky beach immediately and hid in the bushes where the forest and the rocky beach met and watched.
This strange-looking shuttle boat has wide paddle wheels on both sides. There seem to be several figures lying on the shallow cabin that look very twisted and bizarre, as if they are trampling?
After they reached the river bank, they waited for a while and then jumped out of the boat. The 10 people worked together to lift the boat and moved it to a depression on the rocky beach. They also carefully covered it with grass leaves and branches and packed it up.
After a while, he sneaked into the vast mountains with all kinds of strange things in his arms.
After reaching a depression on the hillside, and after they were sure that they were in a safe environment, a man wearing tattered clothes and sitting on the ground looked like a pile of leaves, but in fact they were fixed with real leaves.
He opened the cloak on his head, revealing a familiar face.
"It's safe around here. Let's take a rest first."
"Fortunately, we didn't run fast just now, so it didn't have much impact. This little guy is very interesting, and the things he makes are quite suitable for use. I said that we don't know how to row, and he just made this thing that can walk on foot.
ship. Were they also the weapons used to defend the temple before?"
The leader's voice also sounded: "It's this big guy, it's really a bit awkward. And there's this new thing about him."
He patted the big bolt wrapped in strips of dyed green rags in his hand and shook a bag of odds and ends on his back.
"Speaking of which, what are these things called? Every time I ask him what their name is, he hesitates, and then says some strange things. Sometimes he gets distracted, makes some strange laughter, and murmurs some words against the enemy.
I just won’t tell you my name.”
"Yes, there is also this wheel. Isn't it very useful? Why can't you come up with a nice name? Has he never studied poetry?"
Another voice joined the conversation.
"I asked before I left, and he said he would think about it again and tell us when he gets back."
"The things are very interesting, but the workmanship is a bit poor. These stitches and the closing are really, alas, unsightly."
"I can give everyone here a portion in one night. How long will it take for you to have one portion? Half a year? Isn't this the same thing?"
"To be able to do this is already considered a high-end human being, right? At his age, he already knows how to do math and make things, and he also has the skills to learn poetry?"
"How old is he?"
"It seems like I came here when I was 16 or 17."
"...It's really small. When things here are over, we can go back and do it ourselves. This one can be used. It's the same as this big bolt. Although it's ugly and I don't want to see it, it's really useful. To be honest, the range and power are better than
The arrows I shoot normally are much stronger."
Edith saw that the conversation was heading towards a tea party and quickly stopped them: "Okay, okay, everyone understands what this action is for, right?"
"Let's take a look at what's here first, and then go back and report the news."
"That's right, if there's a lone giant, just sneak up and hit him!"
"Remember everything, don't fight hard, just run away if you can't beat me, you know."
"Have you brought your iron fists with you?"
"They also said that they don't know how to name people. Just hearing the word "Iron Fist" makes people's scalp tense!"
Soon, these moving camouflage nets penetrated deep into the jungle, disappearing with the children of nature they covered.
They were like shadows in the trees, moving silently. In their eyes, the terrain in the forest that was difficult for humans to move was just a small twist and turn that they could pass by lightly without even noticing.
When they exude a natural and friendly atmosphere, birds fly around them, and animals wander around without the side effects of scaring other animals away when other races are lurking.
After a period of silent movement, they discovered their target, a small team of giants passing by on a narrow road. The footprints they left on the soft humus layer were too big to cover up, and they probably didn't even bother to cover them up.
The leader came over to observe, and explained to Edith: "Five giants, about a few hundred humans, let's follow them first. I will lead team 1 to be the head of the team, and you will lead team 2 to be the tail. It's the same old routine.
This time, we need to move farther away. Since this thing can hit that far, there is no need to get closer. There are not many of us, so don’t get bitten by those humans."
Edith nodded, she raised a hand, and the surrounding trees responded. Several small bushes suddenly stood up slightly, and moved with her, moving towards the ridge at the other end to surround them.
The ranger team quickly caught up with the team that was moving with difficulty on the river beach at the bottom of the valley. The dense woods formed a flexible and elastic obstacle. It was not impossible to crash through the low-rise woods, but even with the physical strength of a giant,
Not willing to struggle with it, Papasta was the one who made this decision.
Papasta is a veteran of many battles. He feels that instead of wasting his energy on clearing a path in the jungle, it is better to save it and use it in the battle that will happen sooner or later. Anyway, there is nothing here that can fight the giants. They are marching in the jungle.
The speed is very slow, and the connection with the rear has long been severed.
He still doesn't know what happened to the main team that went to Red Mountain to rob steel. He only knows that there are only two knights there and no mages.
Although more than 10 giant warriors are nothing to their own tribe, they are already the full combat power that a medium-sized tribe can use. They bring hundreds of ogres and their respective human soldiers to deal with them.
In a human town without a mage group, even if the leader is a novice, she is accompanied by veterans who even he admires very much as guards.
When it comes to fighting humans, as long as there are no mage towers and legends, it can be won with a shield attack. In his opinion, there is no reason to lose!
I heard that the steel in Hongshan is very rich. If my armor hadn't been perfect, I would have wanted to go there, but the crystal mines here are also good.
The Western Frontier has been fighting some inexplicable enemies that we have never seen before for almost a year. These people can't provide anything if they win. Even the meat is not delicious. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea. You can only use
Come feed the hill giants.
It doesn't matter if you lose. They will eat everything. If you don't resist, they will almost eat up all the places where the giants have lived for generations. Fighting them is a completely loss-making business, and the consumption of various weapons is huge, and the price of steel and crystals
It has already ascended to the sky.
If I could bring a batch of crystals back from here, the benefits I could reap would be unimaginable! Although Throne has repeatedly emphasized that price increases are not allowed, this matter needs to be viewed this way: If Throne tells me not to raise prices, then I won’t.
I'm happy to. But if the throne tells me to kill someone, I will definitely kill them!
After all, in a semi-feudal and semi-tribal society, unless the tribal commander has an opinion, it’s hard for anyone to speak!
Papasta was happily planning in her heart that when she returned this time, she would receive the reward, buy some property, marry a strong woman, and live a life of a wife and children.
Suddenly, the head of a hill giant who was leading the way suddenly exploded. Its huge body suddenly lost control. Like a bag of potatoes, it collapsed and fell into the stream in the valley, smashing the stream into pieces.
Water mist flying in the air.
A strange noise came from the top of the mountain on the left. Before he could understand it, he had already raised his shield and rushed towards the direction of the noise. It took dozens of seconds for it to rush towards him, panting.
It's not an easy sprint uphill, but the place has already been deserted.
There was nothing. This heavy feeling of frustration made him furious. He raised his shield and slapped it wildly in the tall grass, as if this despicable and shameless attacker who did not dare to fight head-on was still hiding in the grass here.
and among the shadows of shrubs.
He put his shield in front of him in frustration and retreated downwards. Suddenly he heard the same strange noise as before coming from the hilltop opposite. This sound shocked him.
When he looked back, his lungs almost exploded with anger. Another hill giant fell in the river valley.
The only reason to bring the stupid hill giant with us is to use it for work. We haven't seen the mine yet, and the animals that were going to be used to haul things have died first. No matter how it is executed in the end, there is nothing to be harvested in this mission.
Enough crystals and it almost fails.
The captain's shout came from down the mountain: "Quickly enter the forest! Squat down, don't just stand there stupidly!"
He kicked and kicked the last remaining hill giant into the woods.
The relief in Papasta's heart had been completely wiped away. These two attacks seemed like slaps on the left and right, which made his face burn. He ran back to where the team was and bumped into the captain Dingzheng head-on.
gaze:
"Have you ever seen this kind of attack?"
"No, I don't know what weapon is attacking. But this attack style seems familiar."
Papasta also expressed his suspicions.
"Elves."
"That's right. It's those elves who are specifically against us. They attack from both sides of the advantageous terrain. This attack style is very familiar at first glance. It's unmistakable."
The captain sighed:
"It's troublesome now. These little grasshoppers are very difficult to catch in this place. In the past, their attacks had no effect on our defense. It would be over if we ignored them. They don't have such a far attack range now. Now
Is this a new weapon? I wish I could climb to the top of the mountain, or just hit the head and fall down as soon as it rings."
"Let me use my strength to fight head-on. I will definitely be able to block it."
"Even if you can block it for a while, can you always use the power of your blood? They are waiting for you on the mountain, waiting for you to relax your guard. They are lying in the grass comfortably and not nervous. Can you do it? Look for it.
No, there used to be a green light when they shot arrows from close range, but now they can’t see anything, they just hear a sound, and you can only hear it when they fall down, what can you do?”
The two giants were speechless. They looked at the dense woods and grass on the hillsides on both sides. The breeze blew through the hills, and the woods and grass swayed, as if every shadow came alive, every pile of grass, every piece of grass.
Deadly weapons may fly from behind the leaves. There is a pair of sharp eyes behind every mountain stream and every treetop.
