It is reasonable for Elena's level to increase greatly. After all, among several powerful heroes, only Elena was recruited by Richard in his early days. At that time, Richard's own level was not high, which led to Elena's
The initial level is much lower than Moriel, Natalies and others, but in terms of growth potential, Elena is at the same level as them.
After this battle, Elena herself has gained the strength of the primary level of the sky, and her own Angel's Descending Specialty can also improve her strength to the level of the intermediate level of the sky, finally pulling her slightly lagging strength back up.
And even now, Elena's level is still five or six levels behind Moriel and Natalies. When Elena's level catches up, she should not be weaker than the two.
After the upgrade, Elena reported the situation to Richard and then began the task of rescuing the wounded soldiers. Elena has always been enthusiastic about this kind of thing, which is why Elena easily won the support of the soldiers.
Quill organized his men to clean up the battlefield. In addition to searching for survivors among the large bodies of corpses, he also had to identify the dead and bring them back as much as possible.
The corpses of snow giants also need to be cleaned up. Although the temperature here in the wilderness border has dropped, it is impossible to leave the corpses alone. Because of the existence of snow giants, there are no other predatory animals on the snowfield. There are some scavenging birds, but they are also
He can't digest so many snow giant corpses. The wilderness border is Richard's own territory, so he naturally has to clean it up. And cleaning up the snow giant corpses is more troublesome than dealing with the orc corpses before. These snow giant corpses cost ten
It takes multiple soldiers to move.
Moriel and Natalies brought some high-level troops to help manage the prisoners of war first. These snow giant prisoners of war, which were mainly young and strong, were still a bit threatening. Compared with before, they brought many old and weak Ice Flame soldiers
It's a bit more difficult to manage, so you still have to be careful when setting rules at the beginning.
In the end, Richard, who inspected the wounded barracks, was free and there was no need for him to do anything for the time being.
It just so happened that at this time, Richard still had an important reward to receive. After explaining it to Moriel and others, Richard activated teleportation. After using his skills twice, Richard appeared on the boulder.
In the Congress Hall of the Fort, with the magic of teleportation, it really saved Richard a lot of time on the road. Otherwise, the distance from Richard's wilderness border to the Stone Fort would have taken a lot of time even if he rode the Flying Dragon King.
Just one day will do.
"Quest: Wrath of the Snow Giant (Completed), do you want to receive the reward?"
"yes."
"Congratulations on receiving 3.5 million bonus experience points."
"Congratulations on getting the reward treasure: Dragon Shield
Effect: Defense of the holder and his soldiers +5
Introduction: A shield made of the hardest armor on the dragon's body, one of the accessories that combines the divine power of the Dragon King."
"Congratulations on getting the reward Ice Giant X1"
The rewards for the mission about the Snow Giant are extremely generous. The experience alone is more than three million points. The progress bar of Richard's experience value has moved forward a lot. On the treasure, he has obtained another accessory of the Dragon King's divine power.
According to this progress, the collection of all the components of the Dragon King's divine power is just around the corner. Richard is still very much looking forward to the effect of the divine weapon, the Dragon King's divine power, in reality.
The unit is still rewarded with a seventh-level advanced unit, an ice giant whose combat power is comparable to that of a Titan. This unit is slightly more special. According to Richard's observation, the ice giant unit is obviously inexplicably related to the snow giant.
In terms of appearance, the Ice Giant is very similar to the Snow Giant. They both have white skin and are about the same height as the Snow Giant General Frederick. However, the Ice Giant looks more advanced when wearing it. Like the Titan, he also wears a suit of armor and armor.
It's just a helmet, there must be some connection between the ice giant and the snowfield.
But just based on the existing information, Richard couldn't figure out the reason, so he didn't waste any more time. He picked up the dragon shield that looked normal on the table and went out with the ice that had been waiting for him.
The giant activated teleportation and arrived at the military camp outside Miracle City.
"Lord Richard!"
"Lord Richard!"
Now Miracle City has gathered a lot of troops. Rhodes personally led the Griffin Legion to Miracle City. Although the Griffin Legion was established not long ago, it was originally from the Jingbei Army of Piaoxue City, so it had a solid foundation.
Now after Rhodes took over and rectified it for a period of time, there has been some subtle changes in the momentum. At least in Richard's view, it is already a capable army.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"It's my honor to be able to relieve your worries!"
Rhodes, a handsome blond boy, still looked like he abided by the code of knights. When he saw Richard, he saluted respectfully. Richard couldn't hold him back and had to let him go.
"Let the troops have a good rest these days. The heavy equipment must be well maintained. Next, wait for my order. When you are needed, you must act as quickly as possible."
"Yes, sir! The Griffin Legion never slacks off!"
After Richard returned to Stone Castle to receive the reward, he took a look at the Griffin Legion that had just arrived in Miracle City. Rhodes led the Griffin Legion to arrive much faster than Richard expected. After a while
After the inspection, it can be seen that Rhodes is strict in running the army. The combat effectiveness of the troops may not be as elite as the Flying Bear Army and the Dragon Army for the time being, but this is just because the army has not been established for a long time and has experienced fewer battles. It has nothing to do with Rhodes' ability.
"Lord Richard? Will there be any combat missions when we come to Miracle City?"
Rhodes, who followed Richard on a tour, finally couldn't help but ask. After all, based on common sense, he felt that with the current strength of the Hunter family, there was no force around that could directly threaten Miracle City and mobilize the Griffin Legion.
When you come to Miracle City, you can't see any combat missions.
"There will be a teleportation array in the Stone Fortress. You have to go to the battlefield through the teleportation array. Butler Egger will then send the prepared cold-proof clothes. The cold-proof clothes will be distributed to each soldier first."
The teleportation array built by Lieutenant General Stone Castle is not worthy of being kept secret. Besides, the person asking the question is also Rhodes, who is trustworthy. Richard has no intention of hiding it. Clothing to keep out the cold has been prepared for a long time. It is located in the northernmost part of the kingdom.
From time to time, the Northland would encounter an extreme cold wave. Richard had already prepared a lot of cold clothes for the army. He didn't use them in winter, but he used them for the troops who were about to go on an expedition as summer was about to begin.
"I understand, no matter where the destination is, the Griffin Legion is the sharpest spear in your hand!"
"Um."
Richard, who was used to Rhodes's second words, was no longer so embarrassed. Instead, he nodded and expressed a hint of appreciation.
Now the Griffin Army and the Sun Army are in place, and the Dragon Army a little further away is on the way. After confirming that there are no problems with the preparations in Miracle City, Richard encouraged Rhodes a few words and took the mission with him.
The rewarded Ice Giant returned to the battlefield at the wilderness border. This time he came with such a powerful force. It was not just about defeating the Snow Wind Tribe. He went deep into the snowfield, found the magic tower ruins, and built a tower city.
the ultimate goal.
…
snowfield
A dozen giants ran wildly across the vast white land. They skillfully avoided the surrounding tribes and kept moving firmly in one direction with a very clear purpose.
Thousands of meters high in the sky, more than a dozen giant dragons are dotted behind these giants.
"I don't know how far it is. If we go like this, we will be discovered by the snow giant sooner or later."
This group of people was naturally Richard and others. Mangu had no time to stay with his Ice Flame Tribe for two more days, so he embarked on a journey deep into the snowfield, but this time the people he brought were much stronger. In addition to the Ice Flame Tribe,
In addition to the original few warriors, there are two more Titans and two Ice Giants in the team. This is a high-end power that only a large tribe can produce.
There are also more than a dozen giant dragons following in the sky. If necessary, this kind of power can directly drive away a medium-sized tribe and snatch their hunting grounds, and can even discuss the issue of dividing hunting grounds with a large tribe.
However, this is just a thought. According to Richard's order, they tried their best to avoid contact with other snow giants along the way. Moreover, they were very lucky. They did not come into contact with other snow giants when passing through the territory of other tribes.
During the encounter with the tribal hunting team members, they "stole" prey twice from other people's hunting grounds for supplies, but were never caught. Their luck was much better than the last time they came here.
Of course, no matter how you avoid it, the dozens of giant dragons in the sky are still a bit dazzling. In fact, many snow giant tribes have discovered the giant dragons in the sky. However, due to the slow transmission of information, many snow giants in the snowfield still don’t know about the Xuefeng tribe.
Not to mention the defeat, there were a large number of giant dragons participating in the battle. Looking at the giant dragons above them, they thought they were just passing by. Anyway, as a small and medium-sized tribe, they could not afford to provoke more than a dozen giant dragons.
The big tribe might be a little more careful, but they still don't know the dragon's purpose and haven't taken any action. The reason why Richard led people to the ruins of the Magic Tower the next day was to grab a time difference, at least before
Before the Snow Giant Wang Ting could react, he first arranged the defense of Tower City.
"Sir, I think we may have been discovered by other snow giants long ago."
Natalies, who was riding on another giant dragon, responded to Richard, so that Richard didn't have to be embarrassed by talking to himself.
"Their speed is too slow. If this continues, I'm afraid the Snow Giant Wang Ting will receive the news, and we may not be able to reach the ruins."
Although the snow giant's legs are fast, it is still not as good as the giant dragon flying in the sky. Although the giants below seem to have been moving at an extremely fast speed, they are as slow as a tortoise to the giant dragon. The giant following now
The dragons have been suppressing their own speed, even if it is less than one-third of the normal speed, they have to worry about accidentally exceeding it.
"Sir, as far as I know, the snow giants don't have any fast way to transmit information. They still rely on people to transmit the information. Maybe the tribes around the battlefield can get the information quickly, but the time it takes for Wang Ting, who is deep in the snowfield, to receive the information will definitely not be
It’s too fast. With Man Gu’s speed, we should be able to reach our destination before the Snow Giant Wang Ting pays attention to it.”
"Um."
Richard nodded. In fact, he just complained casually. Looking from above, he saw a vast expanse of white on the snowfield. If Man Gu and others didn't lead the way and let him fly with the giant dragon, maybe it would be over after a while.
I couldn't find the direction, and there wasn't even a landmark that could be used as a guide when I looked down. I could only find the ruins accurately by following Mangu, and there was no way I could do it at a slower pace.
…
three days later
Yukikazebe
The first destination of the defeated Snow Giant warriors after escaping was their own tribe. In order to maintain the population, the Snow Giants would impose certain penalties on the escapees on the battlefield, but at most they would only eliminate the culprits or cause serious consequences.
Traditionally, they would not execute deserters on a large scale, so the Yukikaze soldiers who fled returned to the tribe naturally.
This morning, nearly a hundred snow giants returned to the tribe, bringing shocking news to the tribe.
"It's just chasing a few bugs, and Frederick is dead?"
At this time, the senior leaders of the Yukikaze Division, who had confirmed the fact of defeat, were gathering together to discuss countermeasures. As the leader of the Yukikaze Division, August Yukikaze still looked like he couldn't believe it. It was just a simple task.
The fanfare when Derek set off also made him a little dissatisfied. Unexpectedly, not only did he lose a large number of warriors, but also Frederick himself fell into it. Although he didn't like Frederick, an ambitious relative, but in terms of tribal interests,
It is said that losing such a master as Frederick is a big blow to the Yukikaze Department.
"Master Chief, according to what the deserters said, the enemies that Frederick was dealing with were not the bugs of those small tribes at all, but the human army and the sudden appearance of the giant dragon."
"Giant dragon? The white dragon has been driven away by us. Why would a giant dragon suddenly appear somewhere? Isn't it really an excuse for those guys to escape?"
"Everyone said that the dragon appeared. It couldn't be fabricated. Sir, this matter is no longer our Xuefeng Department's own business. With the addition of humans and dragons, we must report it to Wang Ting immediately and let them know.
The royal court issued a summons, just like it did against the white dragon."
"They are different from the White Dragon clan. They only operate in the harsh environment in the southernmost area. They are not a threat to Wang Ting. I am afraid Wang Ting will not come forward."
"Lord Leader! A patrol discovered a large group of dragons passing by in the sky!"
Just when Augustus was distressed, a snow giant warrior came over and reported an unexpected news to him. Those giant dragons actually penetrated deep into the snowfield.
No matter what they plan to do, Wang Ting will not sit idly by and ignore it now.
"Send someone to contact Wang Ting immediately! Tell them the situation. There is a spy colluding with the dragon to invade the snowfield, and the dragon wants to come back!"
…
"Master Richard, this is it."
"Whether to place the tower (mage) in the main city."
