Vernon was tall, twice as tall as the average snow giant warrior, so the scene when he was beheaded by Aragorn was also clearly seen by the surrounding snow giants.
The elite members of the royal court brought by Vernon just didn't say anything. When they saw Vernon's head fall to the ground, their eyes were all red. The status of the Tate lineage in their hearts was so high that they could not hesitate.
sacrificed for the king of Tate's lineage.
After a brief stagnation, they spontaneously came up to fight Aragorn. However, the snow giants from other tribes, especially the leaders of various tribes, were not only shocked but also a little bit subtle.
The Tate lineage has ruled the snowy plains since their ancestors. Except for a battle with the white dragon in the middle, no one has ever dared to challenge the majesty of the Tate lineage in the snowy plains. The current patriarch of the Tate lineage is also the leader of the snowy plains.
The death of a king is something that has never happened before.
Now, this is the first time for everyone to experience the death of the Snow Giant King in battle. They really have no experience in how to deal with it. They just watched the elites of the royal court rushing up. Some people rushed up with their blood boiling, and the other part of them shouted
They chanted slogans, stood there blankly, or came forward slowly. They had a certain degree of loyalty to Vernon, but they did not have the fanaticism of the royal court men. The strength displayed by Aragorn still had a certain deterrent effect.
After Aragon Station cut off Vernon's head, he was actually a little baffled. It went too smoothly. Vernon's final state was obviously wrong. He subconsciously looked at the several magical mages behind him wearing blue robes.
, the attention of those people had been focused on their side. Although they did not feel any trace of the other party's action, and there was no evidence to confirm, their intuition told Aragorn that the reason why Vernon suddenly breathed his last breath was on them.
This is also true. As soon as they landed, the magic mages gave priority to following Aragorn under Richard's order. However, the chase between Aragorn and Vernon happened too quickly, and the magic mages did not catch up immediately.
It wasn't until Moriel blocked Vernon's retreat and Aragorn fought with her that the magicians caught up with the rhythm of the battle.
While Vernon was escaping, he was unlucky enough to be trapped by a weak magic mage. This overbearing status skill doesn't care what your strength is, it directly reduces your status proportionally. It's not so much magic as it is other things.
It's more like a law-based skill.
Vernon, who was already too exhausted to run away in one breath, became weak and weak and became the last straw that broke his back.
"boom!"
"cut!"
The battle went much smoother than Aragorn imagined. After killing Vernon, Aragorn still had a lot of energy left. Facing the red-eyed snow giant warriors who rushed up, Aragorn quickly used the long sword in his hand to stop him.
They recognized the reality, and the real masters were still being dragged down by Richard and others.
The seven or eight sky-level snow giant masters around Vernon are still entangled with Richard, Natalie and others. The snow giants rushing up now are only the elites of the earth-level. Facing Aragorn, who is almost in complete condition,
They couldn't even make waves.
More than a dozen rays of blazing sun slashed across, and there were ten more huge corpses of snow giants on the ground. Because Aragorn's killing efficiency was extremely high, the snow giants that wanted to rush up for revenge later were not as fast as Aragorn.
There was no standing snow giant within fifty meters of Vernon's body.
And this scene also shocked the surrounding Snow Giant warriors. The Snow Giants who were originally full of blood and wanted to rush over slowed down when they saw the fallen elites of the Royal Court. These elites of the Royal Court, who were least afraid of death, used their own lives to fight.
Aragorn's deterrent power was once again strengthened.
Coupled with the turmoil in morale caused by Vernon's death, Aragorn actually had some free time and had time to feel his own condition.
"The state just now has improved slightly. Is it the work of those strange mages again?"
The magic mage not only added a negative status to Vernon, but also blessed Aragorn, our strongest combat power, with a very good buff status called prayer.
Although adding 4 points each to attack, defense, and speed is a very low increase for a strong man of Aragorn's level, Aragorn is quite sensitive to his own condition, and he still felt the slightest improvement during the battle.
"interesting."
After a slight pause, Aragorn looked around at the dozens of remaining snow giants. After the bravest ones died in battle, most of these snow giants lost the courage to fight, at least they lost the courage to fight Aragorn and were killed.
After Aragorn looked closely, several people actually took a few steps back.
Seeing that no one came forward, Aragorn landed on Vernon's body again, looking around as if he was looking for something.
"Oh, you're still holding on so tightly even though you're dead."
The sacred weapon of the Snow Giant clan, the inheritance of the Tate lineage, was still tightly grasped by Vernon's headless corpse, with only a few transparent ice crystals emerging.
"Chi!"
Aragorn did not go up and break off Vernon's fingers, but chose a more rough method. He cut Vernon's fingers open with a few strikes of Fighting Qi, and a blood-stained Ice and Snow Key rolled to the ground.
The sacred artifact inherited from the Snow Giant clan is all white, with some mysterious runes engraved on it, and you can faintly feel the cold air rising from it.
Aragorn stepped forward and picked up the Ice and Snow Key. Originally, the Ice and Snow Key, which was the size of Vernon's palm, was as big as a shield for Aragorn, but when it fell into Aragorn's hands, he adapted to it again.
It became smaller and was just in Aragorn's hand again.
"Hey, it's a good thing, but it's a pity that I can't use it."
Although he said that it was not needed, Aragorn still took the Ice and Snow Key into his arms. Aragorn, who could hardly feel the cold due to the fierce sun fighting energy in his body, felt a twinge in his heart when he put the Ice and Snow Key into his arms.
cold.
…
On the other side, in order to block the massive support from the snow giants, Richard's high-level troops fought fiercely with the snow giants.
Originally, these highly mobile units should not have collided head-on with the Snow Giants, but now they had no choice. As long as they made any evasive move, the Snow Giants would simply ignore them and move towards the Snow Giant King.
Go for support.
Facing the impact of hundreds of snow giant warriors, the losses of the champion knights and the unicorn holy beasts were both in double digits. Not only did the snow giants have an absolute advantage in numbers, but their individual strength was not much different. To imagine the past
It is almost impossible to maintain zero casualties.
Not to mention the sixth-level soldiers such as the Champion Knight and the Unicorn Holy Beast, several seventh-level soldiers were in quite bad condition at this time. The golden plate armor on the two Titans had been beaten to pieces.
It's a scar. The outstanding swordsman is slightly smaller, but he can still dodge attacks with a little flexibility. However, his physical strength is also severely exhausted, and he also suffered some moderate injuries. The worst one is the ultimate Hydra, which
The body is the largest, and the target is also the largest. When the whole body moves horizontally, it blocks a large section of the way. The nine heads look majestic, but they can only block the snow giant a little, but cannot do the same thing to the sea tribe as before.
Kill one bite at a time.
Although the Ultimate Hydra is good at bullying the weak in group battles, it also depends on the strength of the opponent. Snow giants are not weak. Among the snow giants who came to support, the weakest ones are seven meters tall and have the strength of a senior knight.
It is difficult to directly lose combat effectiveness by biting the ultimate Hydra's head. Instead, due to its own size, the Hydra has become a target of more hatred than the Titans.
At this time, the ultimate Hydra not only had several giant spears stuck in its body, but also had several heads smashed by the snow giant. What was even more shocking was that of the only three heads it had left, two were actually smashed by the snow giant.
The giants were forcibly tied together, making the originally fierce-looking Ultimate Hydra look a little funny.
The current Ultimate Hydra has almost lost the ability to fight back. It relies entirely on its rough skin and thick flesh and its amazing resilience to act as a human shield. If this continues, it won't be long before the Ultimate Hydra becomes the leader of the snowfield.
A stiff corpse.
Fortunately, at this time, Aragorn eliminated Vernon, and the mission was completed ahead of schedule. In Richard's worst expectation, this force, which was composed entirely of high-level arms, would have to wait until the mission was completed even if all of them were killed.
Now this loss is nothing.
…
"Prepare to retreat!"
Now not only the nearest snow giant army is attacking the blocking army, but the surrounding armies are also coming over. Without Richard's teleportation, except for some troops with the ability to fly long distances, the remaining ground creatures
It's only a matter of time before being surrounded by the snow giant. But with the magical skill of teleportation, escaping is not very difficult.
Both Richard and Natalie had the upper hand in the battle, and the sky-level snow giants they fought were somewhat injured, but Richard had no intention of taking credit after seeing Aragorn kill Vernon.
Without any hesitation, they quickly found an opportunity to escape from the battle. The other people also followed Richard's example and retreated to Aragorn's location. It seemed that they were going to use teleportation to evacuate after reuniting with Aragorn.
However, after arriving around Aragorn, Richard paused for a moment. The two archangels who followed him took back the long swords in their hands after understanding, clasped their hands together and began to chant.
Seeing Aragorn on the ground who had just taken the Key of Ice and Snow, he was a little confused, but then Aragorn saw a scene that made him unbelievable.
The two giant dragons that were clearly dead just now stood up slowly under the two beams of light, and the wounds on their bodies began to recover visibly. After a few seconds, the two giant dragons simply shook their heads, flapped their wings and flew back to the sky.
In the queue of giant dragons.
"What a ghost!"
Although he had been fighting Vernon before, he was very sure that the two giant dragons had long lost their vitality, and even their bodies were a little stiff due to the extremely cold temperature of the snowfield. For a strong man of Aragorn's level,
It is not that he has never heard of methods that can resurrect dead creatures. Even his own state is somewhat similar to resurrection, but he has never seen the scene of two golden dragons being resurrected so easily as before.
There is no ceremony or preparation. The whole process is like going back in time. The key is that the two people who perform this technique are not very strong. At least they are not strong enough to be able to reverse life and death in Aragorn's impression. He is confident of this level.
Even in his current state, he could easily hit ten of the Birdmen, and the method of resurrection that he couldn't do when he was in his prime was easily accomplished by these two weaklings in his eyes.
"The same goes for those mages just now. What they cast seems to be spells, but in fact it is more like a law."
"This kid has more secrets hidden in him than I thought..."
At this time, Richard had no time to care about Aragorn's thoughts. After pulling up two giant dragons, he led his people to rush towards the team blocking the snow giant reinforcements. He would suffer more casualties a little later. These high-level soldiers usually
Losing even one of them would make him feel distressed for a long time.
Now the army of snow giants is about to surround them. Any delay will only make the casualties more severe. Fortunately, the snow giants around Vernon were so frightened that they were killed by Aragorn. Those who dared to fight were all turned into corpses on the ground. Richard and others
As people passed by, these snow giants did not stop them. After the giant dragon broke away from their entanglement, these snow giants actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Richard took advantage of this opportunity and quickly gathered everyone within the teleportation range. In the blink of an eye, everyone disappeared from the core of the Snow Giant without a trace, leaving only a mess on the ground.
Vernon's headless body seemed to have never appeared. The snow giant warriors who had just been fighting a bloody battle with a group of high-level system soldiers, but their final frenzied attack was like an old punch hitting the air.
It was extremely uncomfortable, and without the obstruction of Richard's group of high-level creatures, it took less than a minute to surround the place where Vernon died.
But because of Vernon's death, everything seemed to be meaningless at the moment. A group of angry snow giant warriors and a few snow giant tribe leaders with different thoughts looked at each other on the spot.
A group of direct warriors from the royal court cried bitterly and knelt down next to Vernon's headless body. Because Aragorn was not interested in collecting the heads of strange creatures, they found his head and two eyes not far from Vernon's body.
With a round stare, it seems that he still cannot accept the result of his own death.
The direct descendants of the Royal Court worked hard to combine Vernon's head and body, trying to return his whole body. Those with a little more status were thinking about how to return to the Royal Court. After all, there was more than just Vernon in the Royal Court.
The blood of the family, and many senior members of the Tate family. Now that Vernon died in the battle, even if there was a reason, they could not escape the blame.
"Quick! Order the soldiers who are attacking the city to move back!"
On the other hand, Hu Lier, the leader of the Xuefeng tribe, reacted quickly and asked the Snow Giant team that was still attacking the city to retreat, because everything happened so fast that the troops attacking the city in front did not react.
Because Richard had taken away most of the high-end combat power, the snow giants attacking the city were progressing very smoothly. Not only had they successfully approached Snowfield City, some of them even scaled the walls of Snowfield City...
