At this time, the city gate has been completely closed. A large number of ground spikes and a large number of giant iron horses surrounded the outer defense line on three levels. Looking from the sky, the two thousand meters range with Snowfield City as the center is full of dense spikes.
It makes the entire Snowfield City look like a shrinking hedgehog.
Many shallow ditches were dug between the various iron horses and spikes. Originally, according to the defenders' idea, several wide and long deep ditches should be dug. It would be best if the snow giant could step on them and sink in.
, but as soon as this plan was proposed, the commander of the engineering battalion started yelling. To make a long trench that could even sink a snow giant, it would have to be dug at least ten meters deep. The amount of this project is simply ridiculous, not to mention that it is surrounded by
On frozen soil, without the help of the system, it would be impossible to build Snowfield City.
Without the intervention of supernatural forces such as magic, it would be difficult to start construction in a place like the snowfield. The Northland's engineering and infrastructure capabilities are the best in the entire continent, so someone would come up with such an outrageous plan.
However, digging deep pits is not possible, but several shallow pits are still arranged with some burning objects in them. The intention is not to trap the snow giant, but at critical moments, a bucket of kerosene can be poured in and a fire ditch can be ignited to temporarily stop it.
The advance of the snow giant.
The Snow Giants of the Ice Flame Tribe had already withdrawn into the city under the leadership of Mangu. They no longer needed to continue to investigate outside. The Snow Giant army had no intention of hiding at all, and just approached the defense line of Snowfield City in a swaggering manner.
At least 20,000 snow giants surrounded Snowfield City.
Even the high-morale Dragon Army and Griffin Legion soldiers couldn't help but sweat when they saw the densely packed Snow Giants outside. There are more than 20,000 Snow Giants, which is equivalent to 20,000 Grand Knight level masters, and compared to the Grand Knight
, these snow giants look even more shocking. They are at least five or six times larger than humans. The tallest human soldiers are only as big as the knees of snow giants. Generally, one of these creatures can change the situation on the battlefield.
The guys in the war situation actually appeared on the battlefield in legions at this time.
"King, humans are increasing their troops, and there are more dragons in the city."
With the huge figure of the giant dragon, as long as it appears in Snowfield City, it will definitely not be hidden from the eyes of the snow giant.
Nearly ten giant dragons headed by the Holy Dragon simply circled back and forth over Snowfield City openly, attracting the attention of the Snow Giant.
"Those seem to be golden dragons, but what is that blue dragon?"
In the memory of the Snow Giant King, the only dragons related to were white dragons, golden dragons, and red dragons. Some of the rarer dragon species had no impression in his not-so-long memory.
"Have these dragons united with humans?"
The general next to the Snow Giant King looked at the giant dragon flying over Snowfield City from time to time with a heavy expression. Apparently the sudden appearance of the dragon made him a little worried. If it was just this, the dragon would be fine. If humans really compete with a certain color dragon
If they unite and fight together, facing hundreds of giant dragons, the snow giants will suffer heavy casualties.
"Don't worry, General Kawei. There are only ten giant dragons. Even if there are hundreds of giant dragons, we will be scared if so many warriors gather here."
The newly appointed Snow Giant King sounded extremely confident. Originally, he was not the most promising among the direct descendants of the Tate family, but he became a dark horse and stood out from all the competitors.
, became the new Snow Giant King.
The reason is also very simple. Although the Snow Giant Royal Court has escaped from barbarism and has some rudiments of civilization, it is still a semi-primitive tribe that worships force. Although it also pays attention to some strategies and calculations, personal strength is still more important.
A cut above.
Originally, the strength of several competitors was at the sky level, and there was no big gap. In order to compete for the throne, they were constantly wooing support forces, not only wooing supporters within the royal court, but also large and medium-sized tribes under the royal court.
target, there is even a risk of internal strife.
But just when the tension between several parties was about to break out at any time, an unexpected thing happened. Severo, who originally did not have much advantage in the competition, actually showed the power of the Holy Order, which was stronger than the previous generation of Snow Giants.
The king also wants pure strength.
The Snow Giant King who was killed by Aragorn had to rely on the Key of Ice and Snow to barely reach the Holy Level, while Severo was actually promoted to the Holy Level.
Severo, who showed the strength of the Holy Order, directly ended the competition. Most of the neutral tribes immediately fell to Severo. Even if other competitors were unwilling, they did not dare to go against the general trend and could only admit that Severo
With Luo's rise to power, an internal strife was eliminated invisibly.
Moreover, although Severo was the new king because of his hard power, his prestige was not low and he was not unable to control the situation. However, Severo, who did not have the Key of Ice and Snow, always felt that something was missing. Soon after taking the throne, Severo
So a recruitment order was issued in the name of the royal court. This time the recruitment scope was wider. No tribe dared to be slippery with the new king's first order, especially the large tribes that had supported other competitors before.
Let Severo get the handle.
In a short period of time, most of the snow giant tribe gathered around Snowfield City.
"King, we still have to be more cautious. Humans' long-range weapons are very powerful, and the defense lines around the city are also very insidious. We suffered a lot last time."
"And that saint-level powerhouse, with all due respect..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
"General Kawei, you're starting again."
Kawei is a veteran of the royal court and has always been prestigious. He made great achievements in the battle with the White Dragon. After the death of his predecessor, the Snow Giant King, his status was relatively aloof. Several competitors who could beat the brains out of a dog competed for it.
They tried to win him over but failed to get him to leave.
It was not until Severo showed the strength of the Holy Order that Kawei led some of the neutral forces to turn to Severo, which was considered a hero to Severo.
It's just that this veteran has too many concerns, and his opinions often conflict with Severo's. He is also very direct in his speech and does not give Severo too much face. He is a bit stubborn.
At this moment, Severo was advised to be careful, which made Severo a little impatient. However, Severo was not a lunatic. Although he was a little impatient, he would not be able to deal with this veteran. He could only be patient.
He said calmly:
"The late king didn't know that humans have such strong people, so he put himself in danger. I am under the protection of the general. No matter how strong the human beings are, they can't deal with hundreds of warriors around here, right?"
Kawei nodded. The hundreds of personal guards around here are at least equivalent to the peak of human knights, and the proportion of them is equivalent to the earth level. Even the powerful saint level has to weigh it before entering.
However, Kawei continued:
"The casualties caused by storming a human city are still too great. You didn't see it last time. As soon as the weapons on their city were activated, the warriors fell one by one."
According to Kawei's idea, human cities should not be attacked by force. After observing for so long, he has already discovered that humans are not adapted to the climate of the snowfield at all. Without those traitors, it would be difficult for them to leave the city for more than ten miles. For the snow giants
There is no threat. It is better to deploy some troops to monitor and confront them at a very small cost.
However, Severo, who had advanced to the holy rank and succeeded the Snow Giant King, could not listen to this when he was in high spirits. Moreover, he had a reason that no one could object to.
"The key to ice and snow is still in the hands of humans. If we don't defeat humans, how can we get the key to ice and snow back?"
"General Kawi, needless to say, how many tribes are in place now? How many soldiers can be dispatched?"
"There are already five large tribes, thirteen medium-sized tribes, and some small tribes are on the way. Together with the soldiers directly under the royal court, we can mobilize more than 20,000 soldiers."
"enough!"
"General Kawei, please organize yourself and prepare to launch an attack. Let the Yukikaze Department take the lead."
After hearing Severo's order, Kawei was stunned and immediately understood Severo's plan. The Yukikaze tribe was on the wrong team when they were fighting for the throne. After Severo succeeded to the throne, he said no.
I wanted to investigate and comfort the hearts of several tribes. I didn't expect the retaliation to come so quickly. It was really a bit embarrassing.
Although the Snow Giant has a royal court, it is not a centralized system after all. Although the royal court is powerful, several large tribes are not weak. If we really want to fight this battle, it will definitely be a hard battle. To conquer this human city, we must
All tribes need to work together. If these tribes are used as cannon fodder out of selfish motives, the morale of all tribes except the Royal Court will soon drop, which will not be conducive to siege the city.
"King, the first battle is particularly important. Why don't you let me, some of the elites of the modern royal court, give it a try and set an example for all the tribes?"
Kawei couldn't help but try to persuade him again, but Severo's attitude was very firm.
"It's just a tentative attack. Why send out the royal court's elite and let the Xuefeng tribe find a few more small and medium-sized tribes and gather a thousand warriors to try."
"Yes, King!"
Severo's attitude was resolute, but Kawei could only accept the order until he could no longer persuade him. He immediately went to the Xuefeng tribe and asked them to gather soldiers and prepare for the attack.
After Kawei left, Severo called another snow giant general. Although this snow giant general was not as qualified and prestige as Kawei, he was the first general to join Severo and was considered Severo's true leader.
confidant.
"General Gwu'er, you lead a thousand of the royal court's elite troops to attack the formation. Without my order, the attacking troops are only allowed to advance and not retreat. Those who retreat will die."
"Yes, King!"
Compared to Kavi, Gul was quite decisive when accepting Severo's order, and he accepted this mission that might kill friendly troops without any hesitation.
After Gul left, Severo sat on the main seat, playing with the ice blade in his hand.
The narrow expression on his face no longer existed, but instead became calm and profound.
"The Royal Court, why can't it become a kingdom?"
…
On the other side, when the Snow Giant began to prepare for the attack, Richard was also standing on the top of Snowfield City.
When Richard stood on the city wall, the golden Three Arrows Flag was raised. This is Richard's iconic recognition flag. Although the Three Arrows Flag used by the Hunter family has a unified pattern, it is generally distinguished by color.
In the Hunter family system, Richard is the only one who can use the golden three-arrow flag to identify the flag. Snowfield City has a tall city wall, and the golden identification flag is also very eye-catching. Once it is installed on the city wall, it can be seen for more than ten miles around.
Qing Dynasty, almost all the soldiers knew that their most admired guardian of the North, Lord Richard, had already stood with them.
The cheers rang out quickly, one wave after another.
The soldiers who were originally a little nervous about facing the snow giant had already put away their fear. They wished that the snow giant was right in front of them so that they could show their bravery in front of Lord Richard.
"My dear, the soldiers adore you."
Richard was not alone on the wall. In addition to the soldiers holding the flag, there were also Messiah and Christine following him.
It is very normal for Christine to be here, but Messiah's presence here gives Richard a headache. Originally, he wanted Messiah to return to Miracle City through the teleportation array, but Messiah always wanted to stay.
By his side, after Messiah showed his strength as a great magician, Richard reluctantly agreed to stay.
"The soldiers you see worship me, but what I see is heavy pressure. After this battle, I don't know how many of these cheers will never be heard again."
Richard's slightly pretentious words made the kind-hearted Messiah fall into silence, losing his previous excitement.
But Christine on the other side praised:
"You have a rare quality that most lords have, you are kind and kind."
Richard didn't answer and remained silent. Sometimes he pretended too much and even believed it. As a ruler, the most important thing is to raise the leeks in the field so that he can harvest them repeatedly. But now Richard's benevolent persona is really true.
The more he stood, the more stable he became, and even now he couldn't tell the difference.
But soon, Richard and the others no longer had time to think about these profound questions. After the formation of the team, more than a thousand snow giants were striding towards Snowfield City. The noise they made was louder than the movements of tens of thousands of cavalry.
, the soldiers knew that the battle was about to begin without the commander's reminder.
