After arranging things in Harbor City, Natalis drove for two consecutive days and finally arrived in Northland. Although she traveled day and night, it was obvious that this level of consumption was nothing to Natalis. After all,
As a member of the Night Angel family, Natalis can fly quickly even without consuming fighting energy.
"Thank you for your hard work, Natalie."
"It is my honor to serve Lord Richard."
Natalie, who had a cold temperament, actually had a slight smile on her face when she said this. She was obviously very satisfied to be able to escape from the trivial matters in Harbor City.
Richard waved his hand, indicating to Natalie that she didn't need to be polite.
"Ms. Morel!"
The next moment, Moriel also walked into the meeting hall, and the sound of loud salutes from the guards outside the door was heard first.
This time Richard not only recalled Natalie, but also called back Moriel who was in charge of the river valley. After being suppressed by Moriel for a while, the river valley was too honest, and there was no need for Moriel to keep watching for the time being.
This time, Richard is not just planning to defeat the Xuefeng tribe. He is going to take advantage of the situation to enter the snowfield and capture the ruins of the mage tower discovered by Barbarian Bones and others, thereby releasing the main city of the tower.
The main city that released the tower forces this time faced a much greater threat than the harbor city in the South China Sea, because the Sea Clan has weaknesses and weaknesses. You only need to seize this weakness to make the Sea Clan compromise, without completely defeating the Sea Clan.
clan.
But so far, Richard has not found any obvious weaknesses in the Snow Giants. On the contrary, they are ridiculously powerful. If their population base were not too small, the Snow Giants would definitely pose a greater threat than the Orcs.
Moreover, the Snow Giant is obviously a quite exclusive race. It’s okay that he defeated the Xuefeng Tribe on the border. If he continues to go deep into the snowfield, or even builds a city on the snowfield, the Snow Giant Royal Court will definitely not sit idly by and ignore something like this.
Just refer to the white dragon who was driven out of the snowfield by the snow giant. Although the white dragon clan is a little weak in strength, it can still be regarded as a serious dragon clan. After adulthood, it has the strength of the peak of the earth level. The clan leader is at least a
The pseudo-holy class, after losing a large number of tribesmen, withdrew from the snowfield in despair. From this, it can be seen that the snow giant is obviously ruthless.
To use such a strong force this time, the Snow Giant must make a compromise, at least to keep up with the established tower city.
"Moriel, are the Dragon Army ready?"
"The 50,000 elite Dragon Army troops had been sorted out when I left. They should have left Burai City and are on their way to Miracle City by now."
"Okay, we have mobilized the elite of the Dragon Army, but there can't be any trouble over there in the river valley."
"Don't worry, Sir Richard. With General Dane and his people staying behind, the nobles in the valley can't make any trouble. There are no external forces around that can threaten the valley for the time being."
"Um."
Richard nodded. Dane was indeed the most suitable person. Anyone could cooperate with the nobles of the river valley, but it was impossible for Dane. The nobles of the river valley had reproduced for so many generations, and basically every family brought a
I have some relatives, and almost all of my relatives died directly or indirectly at the hands of Dane. I am afraid that Dane is the one who takes the most strict view of the river valley.
Moreover, this person knows the rules and will not mess up. Even when he was committing corruption, he knew how to keep a fighting force at hand. Only then did he escape with his life from Saul. Now, although he has just surrendered to Richard,
But it's absolutely reliable.
As for external threats, the north of the river valley is the Northland, and the south is connected to the Central Plains, which is the direct territory of the kingdom. Unless Ren is having a brain cramp and no one is stopping him, and suddenly sends a large army north to occupy the river valley, otherwise the river valley will be
It was very safe, just looking at the group of nobles who were frightened out of their wits.
Deploying the elites of the Dragon Army to stand by in Miracle City was also one of Richard's plans. He not only transferred the elites of the Dragon Army, but the Griffin Legion on Rhodes' side was also within Richard's deployment range, plus the nearby Silver Wing Legion.
In addition to the necessary legions stationed in various places, there are nearly 200,000 troops heading towards Miracle City.
According to Richard's plan, he would first solve the problem of the Xuefeng Tribe at the border, then quickly occupy the mage tower ruins with high-end combat power, quickly place the main city of the tower, and then prioritize the construction of the teleportation array, and combine the Miracle City with the newly built
Tower city connected together.
If the Snow Giant really wants to cause trouble, he can calmly deploy supplies and troops from Miracle City to resist the pressure of the Snow Giant.
"Okay, get ready to go, it's not easy over there with Elena."
…
"Quickly, set up the Shenwei crossbow!"
"That position is wrong! Reposition it!"
In the snowfield, Quill finally led the Flying Bear Army to arrive at the Ice Flame Tribe's station earlier than the giants of the Snow Wind Tribe. At this moment, he nervously began to arrange heavy weapons.
The Mighty Crossbow is an enlarged and enhanced version of the previous Bear Hunting Crossbow.
The volume of the Divine Power Crossbow is nearly three times that of the Bear Hunting Crossbow, and it fires a giant arrow nearly five meters long. It is a monster created by the craftsmen of the Hunter family by combining the previously captured Orc Dragon Hunting Crossbow with their own technology. Even if it uses
In addition to the combined pulley technology, more than ten soldiers are required to operate at the same time to complete the launch.
Because of the materials and some key craftsmanship, the power of the Divine Power Crossbow is still weaker than the Orcs' Dragon Hunting Crossbow, but it is far superior to the Bear Hunting Crossbow. It should be powerful enough to attack the Snow Giant, but the time is still short.
The Xiong Army does not have much equipment, and there are only a dozen units in total this time.
"Jima, please be more careful! This time we are going to fight a giant. Does the giant know? He can eat you in one bite!"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The officer's words not only did not arouse fear among the soldiers, but instead made the people around them laugh. The Flying Bear Army has a high proportion of veterans. The Hunter family has participated in almost all major and small wars. Recently, they have been taking scattered cannibals in the wilderness.
The demon tribe sharpened their swords, and both their morale and combat power have always been maintained at a high level.
So even if you know that the enemy you have to face is a behemoth like a snow giant, you can still remain optimistic.
Isn't it just that they are taller? The ogres and the others can deal with them. What's the problem with the taller snow giants? If they are surrounded and stabbed with a few more shots, they will not be able to poke holes in the blood.
"Don't laugh, make the Juma taller, at least four meters high, and widen the ditch behind the Juma!"
"yes!"
After laughing, the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army were still very active. After the officer gave the order, the soldiers did not feel tired and took action immediately.
But compared to the optimism of ordinary soldiers, the flag commander of the Flying Bear Army secretly sweated in his heart. He had seen the appearance of the Snow Giant before from the Bingyan tribe, which was shorter at six or seven meters tall.
It is ten meters taller, and I heard that there are even taller snow giants. He can imagine how useful this size advantage will be on the battlefield, although they can now easily suppress cannibals that are more than two meters long and up to three meters tall.
Demon, but the ogre's size advantage makes it look like a child compared to the snow giant.
I hope the loss this time won't be too heavy.
"Lady Elena! The snow giants of Xuefeng tribe have appeared thirty miles away. They should have discovered us."
Here, while the Flying Bear Army is making intense preparations to stand, the snow giants of the Xuefeng Tribe have already arrived thirty miles away from the border. This distance is less than two miles away if the snow giants move at full strength.
It can be reached in an hour. In a war, this distance can be considered a close relationship.
"Check their number again!"
"yes!"
Behind Elena, in addition to the 50,000 flying bear troops who came to support, there were also dozens of fanatics who were originally led by her and the system army that she had previously commanded. She had previously relied on these people to easily defeat the pursuing Barbarian Bones.
The Xuefeng tribe team was waiting for others, but this time they had to treat it with caution.
The number of snow giants that the spies have now ascertained has exceeded a thousand, and there seems to be support in the future. The Xuefeng tribe seems to be taking this opportunity to promote its influence, not only dispatching warriors from its own tribe, but also
Several affiliated tribe warriors were recruited, and the number of enemy snow giants was much higher than the estimated number based on intelligence from Gen Mangu and others.
…
"coming!"
"Prepare!"
Soon, there was no need for Elena's scouts to observe anymore. The snow giants of the Xuefeng tribe and its affiliated tribes had appeared unabashedly in front of the human army.
Dozens of snow giants and thousands of snow giants are completely different concepts when they appear in front of you. When more than a thousand snow giants that are as tall as a city wall appear in front of you, the elite of the Flying Bear Army are all around.
There is a sense of suffocation. Even the soldiers who were optimistic before now have serious looks on their faces. The rows of snow giants are slowly advancing, as if they are approaching an ice wall, and the heavy footsteps are like waves.
It hits everyone in the heart.
"this…"
Looking at the scene in front of him, even a warrior like Quill couldn't help but swallow. Do you really want to fight against such a monster? There are still such a large number.
On the other hand, the system soldiers under Elena were still expressionless. Apart from the reason for the production of the system, they were really not surprised. Anyway, when Erathia was sweeping across all directions, they knights, crusaders and even Beamon
After the confrontation, these snow giants can only be considered a mid-level scene.
"Stop, stop?"
Unlike the Ice Flame Tribe, a small tribe that may disappear at any time, the Snow Wind Tribe, as a large tribe, is ranked among the best in the entire snowfield. The warriors under its command cannot be just hunters who only know how to hunt. The Snow Giants are
Civilized people, when they gather to a certain number, military-type organizations will naturally appear.
Although Yukikaze's military organization is still very rough from a human perspective, it at least has unified stone weapons and a pair of decent-looking leather armor. Judging from the color of the leather armor, it should be made of mammoth skin.
After giving the order from an officer or tribal leader, the more than a thousand snow giant warriors stopped a few miles away.
"Sir, they seem to have sent someone here to negotiate."
"Listen to what they have to say."
Seeing that the Snow Giant of the Snow Wind Tribe sent a negotiator, Elena's performance was very dull. Knowing Richard's will, she was willing to listen to the other party just to delay it for a while.
On the other hand, Mangu and the others behind him looked nervous. The opponent's target was them. If these humans couldn't withstand the pressure and retreated, they would immediately become meat on the chopping board. Xiaoman hurt the son of the Xuefeng tribe leader.
There will be absolutely no good ending if you fall into their hands.
It's just that Mangu no longer has any qualifications to speak about this matter, and can only passively watch the development of the situation.
"Humans on the other side! As long as you hand over the Bingyan Tribe and withdraw from the snowfield, the Xuefeng Tribe will never hold you accountable!"
The snow giant warrior who came out to shout obviously knew that Elena had a strong long-range attack method. He stood two or three miles away and stopped moving forward and started shouting loudly.
In the eyes of the Xuefeng tribe, this was already a huge concession. After all, these humans had killed their people in order to protect the Bingyan tribe. Now half of the tribe's main force has come, and there are more than a thousand warriors from the vassal tribe.
, if we weren’t afraid of unnecessary losses, we should have wiped out all the humans in front of us.
Of course, the negotiation conditions they thought were generous were completely nonsense to Elena. It was impossible to hand over the Ice Flame Tribe. Mangu and the others had discovered the ruins of the Mage Tower, and the location of the ruins was very important to Richard.
It was very important for him. He could no longer search for it again in the unfamiliar snowfield with the blueprints. Moreover, the Ice Flame Tribe was also his first step in establishing a hero in the snowy field. He would not give up the pieces unless he had to.
.
The second one is even more impossible. If you exit the snowfield, what should you do with the magic crystal mine at the junction? This is the lifeblood of the urban development of Richard's system, and it is impossible to give in even if you die.
It can be said that the two conditions proposed by Xuefeng Tribe are completely impossible, but this does not prevent Elena from sending people to delay the time.
I casually gave a few instructions to a young officer and asked him to step forward to negotiate with the snow giant on the opposite side.
The two of them were shouting from a hundred meters apart, and Elena had no sincerity on her part and kept going around the topic, so it was delayed for two or three hours.
The snow giant opposite was also sincere and kept trying to understand the logic in the young officer's nonsense. He would scratch his head and look back from time to time, feeling a little confused about this strange negotiation.
"Go call that idiot back. The humans on the other side have no sincerity in negotiating!"
"It's the General!"
This time the Xuefeng tribe warriors were led by one of the three generals of the Xuefeng tribe, Frederick Xuefeng. Most of the snow giants had simple personalities, but Frederick, who could become a high-ranking member of a large tribe, still had to be more flexible.
, after a few hours, they still discovered the human intention of delaying time, and sent someone to call back the snow giant who was negotiating.
"Get ready to attack. Let the warriors from the vassal tribes advance first and let our people hold down the battle."
