"General Geul, the human defense line is stronger than last time. I am afraid that the warriors of the Snow Wind Tribe will not be able to attack the human city. The purpose of the test has been achieved. Let the warriors withdraw first."
Seeing the warriors of his tribe being beaten to death on the human defense line, the leader of the Yukikaze Tribe asked Geul who was standing aside to ask his men to withdraw.
"Well, humans' long-range weapons are indeed a bit sharp. It would be reckless to attack like this. Let the soldiers of the Xuefeng tribe withdraw and re-draw the attack plan."
The veteran Kawei on the other side also agreed with the views of the leader of the Snow Wind Tribe. He considered it purely from a war perspective. The Snow Wind Tribe’s attack has already explored some of the realities of the human city. At present, it seems that they have no confidence in the human beings in front of them.
The city did not pose much of a threat, and no reinforcements were sent except for the royal court's supervising team. Continuing the attack would only increase casualties and would not be of much significance.
"no!"
Although the leader of the Xuefeng Tribe and Kawei, a veteran of the royal court, reached an agreement, they were rejected by Geul who was standing aside. He came with the will of the new king Severo. With his "smartness", how could he not
Know Severo's intentions.
"The king's order is to attack. Unless the king gives a new order, the people of the Xuefeng tribe are not allowed to retreat."
"But the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If we ask for the king's order now, we will only suffer greater losses."
"Let them retreat first, and I will explain to the king."
"No! Without the king's order, those who retreat will be treated as deserters!"
Although Kawei vaguely knew Severo's intention to clean up the Xuefeng tribe, as an old man in the royal court, he felt that it was very inappropriate to use humans to consume the lives of his own warriors. At this moment, he watched the Xuefeng tribe warriors helplessly
A large number of people died in battle, and they couldn't help but offer words of persuasion.
Before the foreign enemies were dealt with, they started to make small moves. Although the new king was very powerful, he was a little short-sighted.
In the past, Geul would have given some face to a veteran with high prestige like Kawei, but now that the new king has come to power, he, as the first confidant to take refuge, is the time to show off in front of the new king.
He knew clearly that the new king wanted to clean up the Yukikaze tribe, but he was not willing to compromise.
I saw Ge Ur raising the finely polished stone spear in his hand, not caring about the face of Kawei and the leader of the Xuefeng tribe, and ordered to the soldiers behind him:
"The soldiers of the royal court obey orders. Anyone who retreats without orders will be treated as deserters and will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
The snow giants usually would not execute deserters, and would at best impose other punishments. But now Geul could not care about these, and completely blocked the retreat route of the Snow Wind soldiers.
While the dispute was going on here, the battle below the Snowfield City became more and more intense. Under the attack of the divine crossbows and various long-range means on the city, the soldiers of the Xuefeng tribe fell one by one, and stones were thrown as countermeasures.
After all, you won’t have too many rocks to carry with you.
He wanted to continue getting closer to the city wall, but he was tightly entangled by the defense line arranged by the human defenders on the outside.
These individual, very weak human beings fully demonstrated what it means to be fearless and fearless when faced with such a behemoth as the Snow Giant. When the Snow Giant tried to move closer to the city wall, the human warriors rushed up like ants in a black mass. Of course,
The gap between the two sides is far less than that of an ant. The soldiers carrying kerosene, holding torches or shooting fire arrows are trying to set the snow giant on fire despite dozens of casualties. There are also knight-level officers among them,
Occasionally, he would mix in with ordinary soldiers, summon up his fighting spirit suddenly, and slash the snow giant's calf or Achilles tendon with his sword, restricting the snow giant's movement.
Coupled with dense large-scale horse resistance and overt or covert ground thorn traps, the little humans finally gave the snow giant warriors of the Yukikaze tribe a heartfelt fear.
At this time, the casualties of the Yukikaze soldiers had exceeded 40%. Although there were only a few hundred casualties, the huge body of the snow giant caused corpses to appear everywhere on the human position. Although the casualties on the human side were greater,
But it's not as eye-catching as the snow giant's hill-like corpse.
But when the casualties reach a certain critical point, even the sturdy Snow Giants can no longer maintain enough fighting spirit. The attack cannot break through the entanglement of humans, and there is no order to retreat. The attacking Snow Wind soldiers are in a dilemma.
Due to the situation, there was hesitation before the formation.
Compared with attacking or retreating, this kind of hesitation is actually the worst situation. The snow giants neither want to go forward to face the dense crowd of human soldiers, nor have they been ordered to retreat, so they cannot retreat in an organized way, so they just stand far away.
They are constantly being attacked from the city wall, and the continuous casualties will soon exceed the tolerance threshold of the Snow Giant warriors in Xuefeng, eventually leading to a rout. You must know that an organized retreat and a chaotic rout on the battlefield are completely different concepts.
.
"Interesting, they are actually a team that is here to die."
"Then add fuel to their fire."
Richard didn't want to wait any longer for these attacking snow giants to collapse on their own. There was no way of telling what was going on on the battlefield. What if the commander on the other side suddenly came online again and issued an order to retreat or send reinforcements? Wouldn't it be a mistake to miss the opponent?
Was it a great opportunity?
"Roar!"
The power of Snowfield City has not been fully used. The snow giant is coming fiercely this time. Richard has to hold some trump cards, but the giant dragon that has been exposed long ago does not need to be hidden. Richard gave an order and was already in the air.
The wandering dragon immediately attacked the snow giant below. Nearly ten giant dragons, including the holy dragon, suddenly pounced down, causing even greater confusion among the snow giants.
The casualties caused by the dragon's breath may not be as great as the intensive long-range attacks in the distance, but this kind of face-riding impact is more shocking. Originally, when the snow giant maintained order, there would be specialized hands holding the huge long spear.
The spears are waiting for the arrival of the giant dragon, and there will be at least hundreds of earth-level snow giants guarding against the giant dragon falling from the sky. Even if they cannot defeat the giant dragon, they will not let the giant dragon wreak havoc at will in their formation.
But now these attacking Snow Giant warriors are already on the verge of collapse. Who can organize to fight against the giant dragon? They are already in awe of the military order before they finish running. Only a few elite Snow Giants are heading towards them.
Throwing stone spears at the giant dragon breathing dragon breath in the sky, he quickly attracted attention and was taken care of.
The participation of the giant dragons in the battle was the last straw for the Snow Giant warriors, especially the leading blue holy dragon. A breath of dragon breath would sometimes cause three or four snow giant casualties. The blue dragon's breath is better than the ordinary golden dragon's breath.
It comes even more violently, and the strength of the Holy Level is beyond the ability of these Snow Giants to handle. Unless the Holy Dragon is tired of breathing and falls to the ground to fight hand-to-hand, the Snow Giants on the ground will have no way to deal with it.
The giant warriors of the Yukikaze tribe, who had suffered more than 40% battle damage, no longer waited for the order to retreat. They spontaneously turned around and ran back, trying to escape the attack range of human long-range weapons, completely exposing their backs to Snowfield City.
's defenders.
Of course, the ordinary troops entangled with them on the ground have no way to deal with the fleeing snow giants. They can fight against the snow giants. In addition to being large in number and fearless of death, the bigger reason is the dense large-scale defense line on the outer perimeter of the snowfield.
Juma would cover them in the middle, and supplement them with traps and other long-term prepared fortifications to be able to contend with the snow giants when the gap in individual strength was so huge, so that the attacking snow giants could not directly attack the city wall.
But if they were to chase and fight the Snow Giant in the field, it would definitely be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there would be no return. If we make a pessimistic prediction, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers like the Dragon Army would be unprepared to encounter the Snow Giant on the plains.
If so, maybe more than a thousand snow giant warriors could defeat an army of more than 100,000 people.
However, just because the Dragon Army soldiers could not pursue him, it did not mean that Christine would allow the defeated Snow Giant soldiers to escape with their lives so easily.
"Hmph, I want to run away now."
"Flag!"
"The elevation angle of the Divine Power Crossbow is increased by ten degrees!"
"preparation!"
"put!"
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
Hundreds of giant arrows flew out again. Different from the arrows fired flatly before, this shot had a certain elevation angle. The arrows shot out were a little farther, and they "coincidentally" landed on the first level of escape.
among snow giant warriors.
"Ah, ah..."
"Trebuchet ready!"
"put!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Under Christian's control, all the mighty crossbows, trebuchets and other equipment in Snowfield City accurately predicted the Snow Giant's escape path. Two rounds of attacks covered most of the fleeing Snow Giant warriors. The Snow Giant who turned around and fled unexpectedly
Having once again suffered hundreds of casualties, the Yukikaze warriors who had already suffered more than half of their casualties had no distractions at all. Driven by the giant dragon behind them, they rushed towards their own camp.
"General Geul, let the soldiers of the royal court take over."
"Response? This group of deserters retreated without orders."
"Let them turn back and fight! If they run away again, the soldiers of the Royal Court will be rude!"
How could Geul think about rescuing the soldiers of the Snow Wind Tribe? Not only did he have no intention of rescuing them, but he even prepared to cut off their retreat.
It was just Ge-Ul's actions that completely made the leader of the Snow Wind Tribe unable to bear it any longer. Before Ge-Uul could threaten him again, the leader of the Snow Wind Tribe ordered the remaining warriors of the Snow Wind Tribe to go into battle.
Although the Snow Giant Royal Court is not weak in majesty, the main body of Snow Giants is still a tribal system. Although the army is gathered in one place, the soldiers of the Xuefeng Tribe still obey the orders of their leader. Under the orders of their leader, how can they care?
Following the military order from the royal court, nearly two thousand soldiers from the Xuefeng tribe rushed out of the camp and ran towards their fleeing soldiers.
Some of the elites grabbed the stone spears in their hands tightly, gritting their teeth and preparing to teach the dragons a lesson.
"Withdraw from both sides! Do not attack the army!"
The snow giant soldiers who had fled for a while finally regained some sense. Especially when the leader of his own tribe gave the order, most of the soldiers consciously dispersed to both sides to give the oncoming army a chance.
Providing some convenience will give them more chances of survival.
Seeing that a supporting team came out from the Snow Giant's side, the chasing dragons also stopped after seeing the situation. After a little pursuit, they raised their altitude and returned to the Snowfield City.
However, the leader of the Yukikaze Tribe who successfully connected with his own warriors did not feel any joy at all. A simple probing attack actually killed 600 soldiers. This was still the first day of the war. If the fight continued like this, the Yukikaze Tribe would suffer.
They all have to be killed directly.
On the other side, the Snow Giant King Severo, who had watched the somewhat farcical attack, first had a smile on his lips, and then the smile slowly disappeared, and he said calmly to the general of the royal court next to him with a cold face:
"Does the Xuefeng Ministry still take Wang Ting seriously? How dare they leave the camp without my order!"
"It should be the order from the leader of the Yukikaze tribe. After all, according to tradition, they should..."
Before the general beside him could finish explaining the snow giant's traditions, Severo interrupted him.
"What is tradition? Tradition is also set by the previous kings. The previous kings can set traditions, and I can naturally set new traditions! These tribes that do not respect the king's orders should be swept away as untimely traditions.
In the trash!"
The more Severo spoke, the more excited he became. The general beside him was not an upright veteran like Kawei. After hearing Severo's shocking remarks, he did not dare to persuade him. He could only stand aside and remain silent. It was best to just be himself.
