The giants are tall, with adult giants reaching a height of more than ten meters. Moreover, the size of the giants will grow taller and stronger as their strength increases. The height of the giant kings in the past generations has exceeded thirty meters.
Because of their huge size, the warships that the giants ride on all have unusually large displacements. Giant three- and four-masted sailing ships of three to five hundred meters are comparable in size to the steel ships of the "Sea King" class.
Wooden sailing ships made of giant elm trees, a specialty of the "Giant Kingdom", are easier to enchant. After the ship is formed, the hull toughness is no worse than that of a steel battleship. The most important thing is... wooden sailing ships are light. As long as the wind direction is suitable, the speed will be increased.
Extremely fast!
This kind of wooden sailboat has great advantages in naval battles.
The only disadvantage is probably that sail-powered ships have strict requirements on wind power and wind direction. The world of sailing is full of various windless zones and chaotic wind zones, and this kind of ship is not suitable for long voyages.
The giants hunt all kinds of large monsters and sea monsters for food every day, so they never lack high-level magic crystals, which also reserves sufficient ammunition for the magic artillery.
Whether in the game or in the real world, the "Land of Giants" Jaffatron is the most important way for human merchants to obtain high-level magic crystals.
Therefore, in terms of the firepower of the ships' magic cannons, there is almost no difference between the human and giant ships. However, the number of cannons on the steel ship island of the David family has an overwhelming advantage.
To use an inaccurate analogy, the wooden sailboats of the Giants are like nomadic cavalry, light, flexible and highly maneuverable; while the steel ship island defense line of the David family is like a heavy armored shield formation, stable and unbreakable.
Now that the shield formation has been torn open, the cavalry can pour in!
The fighting method of the giants is simple and crude. When they see the enemy, they will confront the enemy head-on, and they will rush to kill each other. It is like a herd of buffaloes galloping on the grassland. It is a torrent of destruction that even lions cannot avoid!
Raymond has seen it many times in the game.
Of course, except for this "cluster air strike".
...
"Look, there's a fight!"
Everyone in the "Ghost Pirates" looked at the flames on the sea at the end of their field of vision, and everyone was horrified.
Even though they were far apart, they could feel the tragic fighting conditions in the center of the battlefield.
The first tsunami wave caused by the explosion has already rushed over. Huge waves up to 100 meters high hit the hull, making everyone on the "Golden Ghost" faintly unstable. You can imagine what the waves in the center of the war must be like.
fierce.
...
The cavalry attacked, showing off their sharp cavalry guns, pointing straight at the enemy in front.
The giants' sailboat rushed away with great momentum, hundreds of thousands of magic energy pillars charging together. Because they were prepared in advance, when they appeared, the light accumulated on the cannons was already at its peak.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Various magic energy beams and roars sounded almost at the same time. The beams of light ejected from the muzzle formed a devastating large-scale firepower coverage, densely penetrating all the ships in front.
The "air raid" just now caught everyone in the Davide family by surprise and disrupted the flawless "iron barrel defense line."
Now this first salvo of warships has directly wiped away the "obstacles" to the giant ships' progress.
"War is a waste of money..."
At this moment, everyone seemed to hear the sound of gold coins passing by.
Raymond looked at this round of artillery, which had sunk at least hundreds of warships. Not to mention other things, just counting the cost of this round of thousands of magic cannons, the high-level magic crystals consumed were an astronomical figure.
Moreover, in order to reach the ultimate speed, the giant sailboat in front of them completely ignored the consumption of magic crystals, and the wind element magic on the sails was agitated to the extreme...
A gap was opened in the defense line, and the war commanders of the David family immediately reacted. They took advantage of the second round of artillery charging of the Giant Fleet to quickly reorganize the defense line.
Unfortunately, the air raid just now was so unexpected that most of the temporary mercenaries were stunned.
These pirate groups and adventurer groups who came for high commissions at this moment exposed their incompetence in facing a large-scale war, and each one of them was in a panic like a headless fly.
At this moment, the magic artillery and conventional artillery on the steel ship crackled like firecrackers... regardless of whether they were aimed at the target or not, they scattered in panic.
This round of artillery was not under unified command, and it hit ten or twenty giant warships sporadically, but it did not slow down the impact of the giant fleet at all.
More mercenaries chose to escape from the battle...
Because, those mercenaries saw the formation of the giant fleet change, and suddenly countless charged-up magic energy cannon muzzles appeared towards them.
The fleet fires alternately, with almost no recharging interval.
The giant fleet is like a galloping horse, and no one dares to stand in front of the fleet. This sailing fleet is like a sharp knife, approaching quickly, they will penetrate and destroy any obstacle in front!
The second round of artillery fire was much faster than expected. Before the David family could repair the defense line that was torn apart by the first round of artillery, another beam of destruction light struck and hit a large number of ships on the sea.
..
Flames, shipwrecks, tragic cries for help from people who fell into the water...
The scene on the battlefield was a mess and tragic.
"The giant battleship's magic artillery technology is not advanced. Its advantage lies in its huge power regardless of the loss of magic crystals..."
Colin obviously knows more about magic artillery.
He estimated the firing frequency of the giant battleship's artillery and said: "This is the advantage of having more artillery. Alternate firing can achieve almost seamless continuous bombardment. The giants are indeed natural warriors, and their talent in combat is indeed
Astonishing. This kind of fleet formation change before battle is impossible to achieve without a lot of actual combat training!"
"Indeed."
Raymond nodded.
The David family indeed has dozens of times the number of battleships than the Giant fleet, and they also have three huge steel ship islands, which originally gave them an advantage over the Giants.
But in this round of impact, the superiority and inferiority were immediately apparent.
The giants' ships suddenly showed an invincible momentum, one against ten, and rushed into the iron barrel camp without fear.
"The brutal hand-to-hand combat is about to begin..."
Raymond watched the giant ships rush into the defense circle of the steel ship island, and immediately realized what they were going to do.
Obviously, the giant commander knew his own advantages and disadvantages very well.
They have a huge disadvantage in terms of the number of artillery and ships. They took advantage of the air raid just now, but if the humans in the ship island camp really react and organize a counterattack, they have no chance of winning.
Thousands of cannons were fired, and the giant fleet could only be wiped out.
And hand-to-hand combat is the giants’ best fighting method!
Now the giant fleet rushed into the enemy's position, and the sailing ships immediately scattered and attacked, blending into the enemy ships.
The ships of both sides were mixed together, and the effect of the magic artillery was completely lost. The giants had a small number of ships, so it didn't matter how many cannons they fired. However, if the mercenary fleet fired the cannons, the "friendly forces" would be accidentally injured.
Anna didn't know much about the fighting power of the giants. She was a little puzzled as she watched the giant warriors rush into the mercenary base camp that was dozens of times larger than her own.
She then asked Raymond: "Looking at the number of ships, the Giants only have a total of twenty or thirty thousand people... But there are at least one million mercenaries in the Davide family's ship island base camp. Can they beat them if they rush over like this?"
Hearing this, Raymond sighed slightly, "Even if they can't be defeated, the giants will not hesitate to charge. This race is a natural warrior. For humans, brutal battles are a nightmare, but for them
It’s just home-cooked food for them. What’s more, hand-to-hand combat is their real strength..."
At this moment, he stood at the highest point of the Iron Toad and carefully looked at the battle situation in the distance, the Gorgon's pupil of his right eye shining brightly.
After a pause, he said in a deep tone: "The giants have super strength and defensive talents. These two to thirty thousand giants can definitely make millions of mercenaries suffer a big loss!"
Anna looked puzzled: "Ah?"
The attributes of the giants in the game are all digitized, and Raymond is very aware of the exaggerated combat power of this race.
He said slowly: "The giants have super strength and defensive growth talents. The combat power of adult giants is several times, even dozens of times, that of human extraordinary people of the same level."
Anna: "They are so powerful, don't they mean they are invincible?"
Raymond shook his head: "While the giants are powerful, they also have a shortcoming in talent. That is, they have strong power defense talent, but they are extremely weak in perception ability. They have no chance of understanding, domineering or anything like that...
.They don’t have any fancy magical fighting spirit, they only have exaggerated power to the extreme.”
Also because of "focused power", the giants gained super combat power.
They are a race that has taken the law of power to the extreme!
Anna blinked and said, "If they don't know how to be domineering, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage against a high-level transcendent?"
"Suffering a loss?"
Raymond smiled and shook his head, "."
After a pause, he continued: "The 'armed domineering' defense increase realized by high-level transcendental beings is indeed extremely strong, but it does not mean that giants who do not know how to be 'domineering' can do nothing about it. The extremely terrifying power of the giants,
One force can conquer ten levels, and it can open mountains, split seas, and even tear apart space. If it cannot be broken, it only means that the power is not strong enough. If you really encounter a high-level giant, any high-level extraordinary person will have a headache."
"oh."
After hearing this, not only Anna, but everyone on the ship understood.
No wonder those giant warriors dared to run rampant and break into the heart of the mercenary base camp that was dozens of times larger than the enemy.
Raymond thought for a while and then said: "Unless you are an extraordinary person with extremely high damage immunity in some rooms, you will not gain any benefit from the giants."
Anna blinked, pointed to her nose and said, "For example, like me?"
"yes!"
Raymond nodded and said: "Unless you encounter a giant with top-level strength, the attack is so fast that you can't even react to the elementalization of your body, and the law of power is so condensed that it can tear apart the void. Ordinary giants,
There’s really nothing I can do against you. Of course, the wizards of the Voodoo tribe are not in this category, but those guys know some very magical witchcraft..."
"oh..."
Anna nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, Raymond still wanted to say something...
Sudden!
He watched as a tall, dark-brown-skinned giant jumped out of the huge sailing ship in the middle of the battlefield.
Ordinary giants are only more than ten meters tall, but that giant was more than twenty meters tall!
He has a big beard on his face and a thick tuft of brown hair on his chest. He wears a yellow animal skin-like apron and shorts that can barely be regarded as clothing. In his hand is a very rough black iron wolf that looks like it was forged.
Dental stick.
With his huge weapons and his body made of steel, this giant has an invincible attitude like a god and demon fighting off changes.
The height of the giants directly means their strength.
Raymond immediately realized that this was a giant with top-level combat power!
...
At this moment, all the giant warships have sailed into the hinterland of the mercenary base camp.
The bearded giant jumped up from the giant sailing ship and swung down the mace in his hand. The extreme force that distorted the space caused a howling wind like sword energy.
The steel battleships in front of him looked like paper, blown to pieces by the hurricane.
And even more exaggerated scenes are yet to come!
The next moment, the giant's mace was completely smashed down, and the space was compressed to the extreme by the huge force.
There was obviously still a hundred meters away, but the steel ship directly in front seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force. With a crisp "click" sound, its two ends were tilted up, and it was actually smashed into pieces by the stick.
The "V" shaped mass of scrap iron suddenly sank into the seabed.
One stick destroyed a steel ship, and another one exploded with a backhand stick. The fighting power of this giant was so terrifying.
The giant broke through the battleship's defense circle with one man and one stick, then led thousands of high-level giant warriors behind him, swarmed up, jumped onto the steel ship island whose defenses were breached, and directly entered the ship island city.
..
...
Raymond and others who were watching the battle from a distance were stunned.
Sha Mao is proficient in fighting martial arts. He also saw some of the mysteries in the bearded giant's open and close stick method, and exclaimed: "Wow... that giant with the stick is so powerful."
"Of course it's awesome... That's the current chief of the 'Mountain Tribe' [Black Mountain] Lute, the top fighting force of the giant tribe."
Raymond looked at the giant of more than twenty meters, with a look of solemnity on his face.
This is the top combat power of the giant clan... The tribal chiefs have already taken action, and this battle is probably going to be a life-and-death fight.
Tens of thousands of giants from the "Mountain Tribe" rushed into the city base camp where Bystronic mercenaries gathered, and fierce street fighting began.
This group of elite giants not only have amazing combat power, but they also bring with them countless large monsters that they have tamed in daily life.
The lava black tiger, the flaming ferocious lion, the frosty snow leopard, the bristle ape...all of them are at least elite BOSS-level mountain overlords in the game, and they broke into the human camp like crazy...
And it was even more noisy in the sea!
The giant monsters of the deep sea drove a large number of Neptune-like creatures, constantly attacking the mercenary ship battle formations. Huge Neptune-like creatures were rolling in the sea, and the water seemed to be boiling. Steel warships were overturned one by one, and countless mercenaries were killed.
It became food in the mouths of sea kings, and the blood stained the entire sea surface red.
A large-scale war is like a meat grinder, throwing both participating parties into the same grinding mill of flesh and blood... Whoever can persist to the end without retreating or dying will win.
"In this battle, the giants are coming in large numbers... The mercenaries of the David family may not be able to stop them. What's more, now that the island's defense has been broken, it's even more impossible..."
Raymond muttered something and roughly analyzed the result in his mind.
Judging from the current situation, this time the "mountain tribe" raid took advantage of the right time, place and people.
Furthermore, the patriarch [Black Mountain] Lute's fierce power is irresistible. Under his devastating stick, the masters of the David family have no single enemy.
In the early stage of the artillery battle, the competition was about the number of warships and the power of the magic artillery on both sides. Now this kind of street battle is about the fighting power and momentum of the extraordinary.
(Remarks: The Giant Clan and the King of Giants have the combat power of the "Endless Eight Emperors" level; the leaders of the five major tribes have the combat power of the Shichibukai and the deputy emperor;)
"[Black Mountain] Root's top-notch combat power is so fierce now that without a few Shichibukai-level combat powers, he is not even qualified to hold him back. The servants recruited by the Davis family with a lot of money
Soldiers, unless there are super masters, there is no chance of winning..."
Raymond shook his head. Although it was impossible for these tens of thousands of giants to destroy a million mercenary group, once their momentum was broken, they were defeated like a mountain.
The final outcome is most likely that the mercenary army composed of pirates and adventurers will break up and flee, causing the mining base camp to be completely destroyed.
No matter how you look at it, this should be a surprise battle in which the giants won a complete victory.
pity...
The ending was beyond everyone’s expectations!
...
The battle on the David Family Steel Ship Island became increasingly fierce. The giants rushed in like a torrent, washing everything that could be seen in the city to pieces.
Those mercenaries who were lucky enough to survive the previous waves of attacks were now running away frantically.
Every minute that goes by, the war will take away the lives of countless mercenaries...
After more than half an hour, the mercenaries gradually began to be defeated on a large scale.
The balance of victory in the war gradually tilted towards the side of the giants.
The outcome of this war is developing in the direction Raymond expected.
Something could happen, it could happen suddenly!
Even though the giants have amazing fighting power, their physical strength is limited after all.
After frantically sweeping across the entire island, all the giants participating in the battle inevitably showed a hint of fatigue.
Even the tribal chief [Black Mountain] Lute's momentum has become much weaker. The most obvious feeling is that when he swings the giant stick, the sky-breaking phenomenon he triggers is not as powerful as when he first saw it.
The giants of the "Mountain Tribe" have the talent of "petrified skin", which gives them super strong defense capabilities. When they are hit by ordinary magic muskets, it is like being hit by a needle. Although it stings slightly, it is absolutely injurious.
Crucial.
However, one prick is painful, but ten thousand pricks will cause considerable damage.
The well-trained professional mercenaries of the [War Emperor] regiment are also very experienced in combat. They have received huge commissions from the Davis family, so they naturally have no reason to defeat them in one attack. They know that it is impossible to stop this force in a frontal battle.
The ferocious giant warrior secretly hid in the dark and fired cold guns.
The giants' targets were huge and there was nowhere to hide. This made them seem to be bathed in a hail of bullets, and the number of wounded gradually began to increase.
However, these sporadic battles cannot change the overall situation.
Just when everyone thought the giants were about to win the war, suddenly, a strange scene appeared!
Root seemed to have noticed something, and his face suddenly changed. He looked down and saw that the indestructible layer of rock-like skin on his chest suddenly seemed to be poisoned and turned pitch black. In an instant, a mysterious force appeared.
Erosion, that thick layer of rock armor is like the ashes after burning straw, suddenly dissipated with the wind...
"Defense breached? Someone attacked!"
In the distance, Raymond looked at the strange appearance of Root's chest armor crumbling, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly thought of a terrifying Devil Fruit fruit ability!
The next moment, murderous intent suddenly broke out!
Just before [Black Mountain] Root could react, he suddenly saw an assassin holding a black fish-scale scimitar appear from the void.
He appeared like a ghost, and silently inserted the two knives in his hands into the giant chief's chest without hesitation. The blade was completely submerged into the giant's body, which could not break through the defense of the magic artillery, and the scarlet blood flowed out.
It spurted out immediately.
"Could the full moon black knife in that man's hand be..."
Raymond saw that the two swords in his hands looked very familiar. He suddenly remembered it and blurted out: "This is the tenth-ranked epic sword of the 'Big Hengdao·Twenty-nine Royal Hands An Gangren' [Flower Blade Dragon Scale·
Double Koi].”
Now that I have seen this famous weapon, the identity of the person coming is easy to figure out!
Captain CP9, codenamed ‘NO.2’, [God Assassin] Arno Dorian, known as the ‘King of Assassins’!
The sudden assassination shocked Raymond.
He looked at the person who could turn [Black Mountain] Root's armor into ashes, and his identity was immediately exposed, and he exclaimed: "That is... the vice-emperor of the 'War Emperor Pirates',
[Ember Fruit] Power user, [Destroyer] Mobrit Bana Ember!”
These two are... legendary figures in the game who are known as the "ceiling" of the assassin world in the world of navigation!
Unexpectedly, two legends actually appeared here at the same time!
Raymond instantly understood that this war was not as simple as it seemed.
After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately understood the context of the conspiracy and said in shock: "This is not a surprise attack by the giants at all, but... the World Headquarters had already planned it, targeting Root, the chief of the 'Mountain Tribe'.
'Decapitation Plan'!"
Two top assassins teamed up to assassinate. [Black Mountain] Root was stabbed in the chest and his life was in danger!
