"Those giant warriors of the 'Mountain Tribe' may not be able to survive this battle..."
Raymond looked at the scene of the "Mountain Tribe" chief Root being assassinated by two of the world's top assassins on the ship island in the distance, his brows never raised.
The enemy's enemy can also be regarded as an indirect ally. Watching [Black Mountain] Root be assassinated, this made Raymond feel like a rabbit is dead and a fox is sad.
Two assassins who stood on top of the world came together, and it was obvious that they had planned it for a long time. It would be almost impossible for anyone to kill the chief of a large tribe in the territory of the giants.
Only by luring the snake out of its hole can the "decapitation plan" be completed!
The layout in front of you looks like the conspiracy of the World Headquarters.
...
Raymond is very aware of the buggy ability of [Ash Fruit].
This superhuman devil fruit can be disintegrated into ashes like a natural ability user, bringing extremely high damage immunity to the body. Moreover, the combat power of this ability is also very strange, and it can cause high damage to low-level supernatural beings who are suppressed by the level. The probability of instant death.
[War Emperor] "Jin", the deputy emperor of the regiment, has developed the ability of this fruit to an extremely high level. This ability allows him to turn any substance that his body touches into ashes. If there is no high-level law ability defense, touching Who died.
The only disadvantage is probably that his hands are short, he can only cause close damage, and it is a single target attack.
This also makes "Jhin" a superb assassin, rather than a long-range magician.
...
Raymond knew the two top assassins who carried out the assassination.
Probably, he is one of the few people who can understand what happened just now.
Just now, this guy named "Jin" used his weird ability to instantly turn [Black Mountain] Root's rock defensive armor to ashes, directly exposing the giant's body to the air.
Lute's rank is not lower than "Ember", so even though the vice-emperor's combat power can break through the rock armor, he wants to use the ability of Ember to kill this person in an instant, even though he does not have "rock armor", his physical body is still very defensive. The Giant Chief is also impossible.
Therefore, if he wants to cause fatal injuries, he needs a helper.
At this time, another short-sword assassin with extremely high burst damage appeared, and he cooperated to carry out a second stage assassination!
In addition, few people now know the true identity of CP9’s “NO.2” [God-Assassin] Arno Dorian.
But in the later stages of the game, this "King of Assassins" becomes famous.
His assassination skills have reached the pinnacle of the world, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, the famous weapon in his hand [Flower Blade Dragon Scale·Double Koi] is also the famous yin and yang double blade in the "Atsuna Mitsuru" epic sword series.
Almost every famous weapon in the Yushou series has its own special effects, and this pair of "double koi" is the professional artifact of the assassin.
The two knives are unparalleledly sharp and of moderate length.
The blade is like a crescent moon, with dense dark satin patterns of fish scales on it. This special forging pattern prevents the blade from reflecting light. It looks hazy to the naked eye, like two translucent "invisible blades".
When the short knife pierces the target's body, the satin pattern of fish scales on the blade will rise up. Each fish scale will immediately turn into a sharp blade, and countless sharp sword energy will be poured into it, which will twist the target's organs into pieces. When Kong drew the knife, it was more like Ling Chi, cutting him into pieces with a thousand cuts, directly pulling out a big bloody hole from the target wound.
No matter who is hit by this knife, he will die or be disabled.
The two top assassins cooperated and severely wounded Root with one blow.
.......
"This battle will cost at least hundreds of thousands of mercenaries. Even the David family itself suffered heavy losses. People from the World Headquarters are really capable of this..."
Having roughly figured out the layout of this war, Raymond gained an additional understanding of the World Headquarters' ruthless tactics of "killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred".
Obviously, this "Mountain Giant" tribe's raid may itself be a collision of strategies between the two sides.
The giants had a raid plan, and the David family had already heard about it, but they pretended to fall into the trap and allowed them to attack.
When the giants were exhausted from killing the mercenaries, the two top assassins who had been lurking for a long time looked for a move and completed the beheading operation with one blow!
As long as the leader Root dies, the morale of the giant clan will plummet, and defeat will be inevitable sooner or later.
In this tragic battle, millions of mercenaries, and even the entire Davide family's ship island base camp were used as "baits"!
"Now that the chief of the 'Mountain Tribe' has died, all the tribal elites will have to leave here. One of the five major tribes in the Kingdom of Giants will leave. It seems that the situation within the giant tribe is not very optimistic. The chief of the 'Burning Thorn Tribe' is now They have all joined the navy, and probably the black hands of the World Headquarters have already penetrated into the Giant Kingdom..."
Raymond felt more and more unhappy. The fight for the mineral deposits was just an excuse. Not surprisingly, the purpose of the World Headquarters was to control the entire country of giants.
At the end of the field of vision, the battle continues.
"Ember"'s ability turned the surrounding buildings into ashes, and a thick black mist-like cloud of dense ash arose in the center of the battle group, obscuring the field of vision, making it difficult to see what was really going on.
Even with Raymond Gorgon's Eyes operating at its peak, one could only vaguely see the tall giant waving the black iron rod crazily in his hand before he died, and the surrounding space was distorted, even more violent than at its peak. Three points.
However, the more crazy you become, the more trapped you become.
When the giants of the "Mountain Tribe" saw the chief being assassinated, they went crazy and rushed towards the two assassins. They slaughtered all the way like crazy, destroying everything on the ship island...
The atmosphere of the battle gradually turned from heroic and exciting to a bit tragic.
Not long after,
With loud "bang" noises, the entire ship island began to slowly sink.
Finally, the city made of steel could not withstand the impact of the crazy battle and slowly sank. That was a huge steel ship island that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, but it was actually sunk by the giant warriors!
However, this is also the final madness.
Although the giants have a tenacious vitality, since the World Headquarters has played a dirty trick, it will never let Lute escape and escape back to the tribe alive! Lute was attacked by a sneak attack and had two big holes poked in his chest. The two top assassins were so intimidated that they had to avoid his edge. But this explosive act also exacerbated his death.
...
In the distance on the sea, everyone on the "Golden Ghost" was staring at the battle intently.
Anna also had some anger on her face and said in confusion: "This is obviously a trap. Why don't those giant warriors retreat?!"
Onlookers can clearly see the situation, and the giants still have a great advantage. If they choose to retreat now, they probably still have a lot of hope to escape some tribesmen before the Davide family's encirclement is closed.
"If it was the original plan, they would destroy the ship island, and they would probably leave as soon as they are ready..."
Raymond shook his head slightly and sighed: But now that the chief is going to die in the battle, the other giant warriors must fight to the end. The giant warriors are not afraid of fighting to the death, and they will never back down..."
Hearing this result, Anna's expression darkened, feeling sorry for those giant warriors: "Hey... If we fight in an upright and upright manner, the giants may not necessarily lose."
"This is war..."
A hint of complexity flashed across Raymond's eyes, and he said slowly: "The result is far more important than the process."
...
Just as Raymond expected, tens of thousands of giant warriors fought to the death, frantically killing the mercenaries in David's base camp.
The patriarchal warriors have an undying hatred. The giant warriors no longer care about life and death, and no longer care about the safety of the ships, and drive the warships on a rampage. The high-level magic crystals fill the magic cannons and destroy the light beams as if they are free of charge.
Wave after wave of lights lit up, exploding everywhere in David's iron barrel defense base camp. This kind of devastating melee, even the lives of high-level transcendent beings were like a piece of grass, being harvested in pieces...
In a large-scale war, the most valuable thing is human life.
After all, there is no way to save it.
A beast that falls into a trap, no matter how ferocious it is, will eventually be defeated sooner or later.
The elite mercenaries hired by the Davide family who were hiding in the dark reorganized the encirclement and exhausted these fierce mountain giants to death alive.
This battle,
Fighting in darkness,
We fought for a whole day and a night.
Only then did the fighting in the city completely stop.
This tragic battle resulted in the deaths of at least hundreds of thousands of extraordinary beings, and tens of thousands of warships were sunk. Debris of shipwrecks were scattered all over the sea, and corpses were foaming and floating, densely packed, and could be seen everywhere.
The "Ghost Pirates" were far away and watched on the sea for several days.
After seeing that the war had completely subsided and there was no sign of a second war breaking out, Raymond decided to go to David's base camp again.
He didn't dare to lead the "Ghost Group" to risk his own life. The previous war still left people with lingering fears. If he was really involved in such a terrifying war, Raymond might still have some confidence in saving his life. There were more people.
There will inevitably be some surprises.
After bidding farewell to the crew, Raymond and Colin disembarked from the "Golden Ghost" and took a small boat to sail to David's city island.
...
After the war, the city and island were devastated, with big holes blasted out by magic artillery everywhere.
Of the three large city ship islands owned by the Davide family, one was sunk and another was seriously damaged. It can be said that the losses were heavy.
However, there were originally no ordinary residents on this kind of warship island. Most of them were professional mercenaries and speculators, and order was restored very quickly.
The mercenary union is still lively as usual, the weapon supply shops on the street are opening their doors one after another, and the bustling Adventurer Fengyue Field has once again turned on its red lights and is open for business...
The mercenary war is so cruel and real. If you can't die, you should continue to make money and enjoy yourself.
After the war, the David family once again increased the mercenary commission, and new warship islands also came from the nearby seas. It won’t be long before the new influx of mercenaries from various sea areas will bring this cold war city back to life.
.
Under the guise of being recruited as mercenaries, Raymond and the two were not blocked and successfully boarded the city island.
Their original plan was to go to the mercenary union to inquire about the situation of the person in charge of Davide this time, and see if there was any chance to buy a batch of rainbow ore with money.
But it happened to be a coincidence. After asking casually, they learned that the Davide family's supervisor in this mining area was named Davide Ivan.
Raymond "knows" this guy.
This fat man is also the patriarch of a branch of the David family. He is greedy for money and lust, likes to line his own pockets, and likes to collect rare antiques.
After giving money to the doorman, meeting Ivan's housekeeper, and giving the housekeeper a huge sum of money, Raymond got an appointment for a meeting three days later as an ore merchant.
Everything went as planned.
The two came out of the city lord's manor, but Colin was a little less optimistic.
"Captain, war will raise commodity prices, and the price of rainbow ore may be much higher than expected."
The butler's dull reaction to the huge bribe just now made Colin feel that things might not go smoothly. He worried: "I think our plan to use money to buy ore this time will fail. The butlers of the David family are so wealthy.
A person in charge will definitely not be short of money. Moreover, if the amount of ore is too small, it will not be enough to meet our needs..."
"Well! Let's meet and ask about the situation first. Maybe it's not that bad..."
Raymond nodded. If he really wanted to spend money on it, he would have to see if it was worth it.
He knew very well that the savings of the "Ghost Group" were not attractive at all to a real rich man like David Ivan.
However, if that guy can really provide enough ore, Raymond can still provide something that really interests him.
He did not show too much certainty and said instead: "If we really can't get it here, we will go to the giant tribe to look for it. The giant tribe has been mining gold mines for so many years, so they have some stocks.
.”
"It can still be like this."
Colin nodded.
Three more days to wait,
Raymond had no intention of staying on the city ship island, as there was no guarantee when the giants would launch another "air raid".
He and Colin returned the same way, intending to take a small boat back to the "Golden Ghost" to stay. However, when they passed by the city's central square, they happened to see a group of mercenaries from the David family, carrying out a group of scarred giants.
Hanging on an iron cross.
Listening to others pointing, Raymond realized that these were some giant warriors who had survived the war in the past few days.
In this war, almost all the elite "mountain tribes" came out, a total of 20,000 to 30,000 giants. Only the two hundred wounded soldiers in front of me were captured alive, and most of them suffered serious injuries.
Raymond only took a cursory glance and perceived that they were all about Sequence 4 mountain giants who were not too strong.
The fighting power of the high-level giants was so fierce that it would be difficult to trap them. They were probably all killed during the battle, leaving only some low-level giants with serious injuries that had not healed and were less of a threat.
Look at this posture, the giants will be hung in the square for public display, probably the David family is preparing to show their strong force and determination to plunder gold mines.
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated.
Raymond frowned as he looked at these injured giant warriors, but he didn't intend to meddle in their own business.
But suddenly,
When he saw one of the short giants, a strange color flashed across his eyes, "Hey... this guy was also caught?"
That guy's physique was really impressive, and he stood out among a group of tall giants.
The elite warriors of the Giant Clan who are above Sequence 4 are generally over ten meters tall. The stronger they are, the taller they are.
The giants who participated in the attack on the human camp this time were all elite giants, almost all over ten meters tall. But the "little giant" in front of them, who was only three or four meters tall, was really surprising.
The giants cannot comprehend "Arcane" and "Domineering". The shorter they are, the weaker they are.
A three- to four-meter-long little giant like this would probably be a weakling like a human superhuman like Hex City, and his combat effectiveness would definitely not be strong.
"Isn't that... the youngest son of 'King of Giants' Uli W. Berthold? I remember his name was 'Little Titan' Thor?"
Raymond recognized this little giant with a bloody head and suddenly stopped.
