Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Outside Snowfield

The corpses were piled up all over the ground, and there were even four or five corpses stacked on top of each other. Because the battle was too fierce, neither side had time to clean up the battlefield, so they could only let the corpses of the soldiers be scattered around for the time being.

Fortunately, the climate in the snow field is cold, and corpses generally do not rot and smell. Even if a large number of corpses accumulate, it will not cause any disease. There was no sight of blood flowing into rivers in the snow field, because the blood of the soldiers would be frozen into ice soon after, and the originally snow-white ground was glowing red under the sun at this time, which should be formed by blood. Frost.

The fortifications around Xueyuan City have become extremely scattered. The snow giants used a large number of corpses to fill up the traps and ground thorns. Even if the human soldiers guarding the city wanted to rearrange the fortifications, it was difficult to clear the snow in a short time. The giant's corpse could only watch the snow giant stepping on the corpses of his own clan and directly attack the city wall. Most of the human soldiers had been recalled to the city, and only a small number of elites were still creating trouble for the snow giant with the remaining fortifications. Now, taking advantage of the time when the snow giant retreated, they frantically rushed to repair the position.

At this point in the battle, the casualty rate of the peripheral soldiers has reached 50%. Tens of thousands of soldiers will no longer be able to return to their homeland in the North. How many soldiers with dreams of generals will never be able to stand up again. If they are lucky, Some of them may be able to obtain the Knight Blessing Potion based on the military exploits of this battle, become an official knight, or even obtain a higher-level potion to become a great knight...

It's just that the first step to becoming a general is to survive...

After suffering huge casualties, although the soldiers in the peripheral positions still had a strong will to fight, their faces were no longer as cheerful as before, but kept silent all the time. Get used to it.

Although the human beings suffered huge casualties, the snow giants were also having a hard time. The battle started a few days ago. Warriors from various tribes were sent to attack the city in turn. Although the royal court did not only supervise the battle as before, but It was only a symbolic dispatch of troops. In addition to those tribes that were originally on the wrong team who were constantly asked to send troops, even the tribes that had remained neutral and even supported Severo before were also forced to send troops to fight. Severo, who has already torn his face, has already Regardless of whether it is hard or not, what he wants to target is the entire tribe.

The tribes were forced by Severo to attack Xueyuan City. Their morale can be imagined. Naturally, they failed one after another. The tribe's goal has basically been achieved, and each tribe has lost more than one-third of its warriors or leaders, all of whom died in battle directly under the snowfield city.

Although they failed to take down Xueyuan City, there were so many tribal fighters after all, and the peripheral fortifications were almost destroyed by these tribal fighters.

After the tribal warriors used their corpses to open the two fortifications outside Xueyuan City, no matter how the tribes gritted their teeth, Severo finally felt that the time was ripe, and sent his general Geur to lead the royal court warriors to launch the final attack. total attack.

Royal court warriors are different from tribal warriors. In comparison, tribal warriors have relatively primitive fighting methods and tactical thinking, especially those warriors from small tribes.

That is to say, the advantages of size and individual strength are too great, which makes up for the shortcomings in all aspects. If they are reduced to the same size as human beings, they will be a group of proper mobs. Can teach them to be human.

But the elites of the royal court are different. They can coerce the snowfields and make all the tribes bow their heads to obey orders. In addition to Tate's blood, they rely more on the elite warriors of the royal court. Compared with the warriors of other tribes, the elite royal courts are already considered The tribal armed forces have evolved to the level of the feudal army, and they are still the elite of the feudal army, who can enforce orders and prohibit them, and can withstand not low casualties.

Moreover, compared to the tribal armies, they will not take off each other's legs, and their cooperation is relatively tacit. Although the amount invested at one time is equivalent to that of the previous tribal coalition forces, the pressure on Xueyuan City is not at the same level.

The soldiers of the Snow Giant King's Court really have two brushes, especially after most of the fortifications outside the Snowfield City have been destroyed by the previous tribal fighters, the soldiers of the King's Court can drive straight in and really bring a threat to the Snowfield City. At that time, Li Cha no longer hid, and almost all the troops of the system went up to the city wall. After fighting for half a day, Li Cha finally seized the opportunity, quickly activated the special effect of the energy tower of Xueyuan City, and raised the energy shield , separated more than a thousand snow giant royal court fighters who were attacking from the main force outside.

In the end, the city gate was opened immediately, and all three holy ranks from the whole army fought at the same time, annihilating the snow giant warriors trapped in the energy shield in a short time.

At this moment, Li Cha, who was standing on the city wall, had just finished a fight. It was not easy to eliminate more than a thousand soldiers of the Royal Court, and all the high-level system fighters under him were damaged.

After the last battle, this time the snow giant was more prepared for the sudden rise of the energy shield. When the energy shield rose, the snow giant trapped inside did not waste all his energy facing the energy shield like last time. Instead, he quickly made a defensive posture against the energy shield, and was ready to defend until the shield disappeared automatically. These elite kings with a strong will to fight made Li Cha turn this battle of annihilation into a tough battle, and even outstanding swordsmen appeared in the attack Despite the loss, if there were not three holy ranks who cut into the snow giant's formation forcefully, this tough battle might not be over yet.

The soldiers staying outside Xueyuan City took advantage of the short time gained by the energy shield to repair the damaged fortifications as much as possible, hoping to continue to fight against the snow giant in the next battle. After being transported into Xueyuan City, some divine mighty crossbows that were damaged during the battle were either replaced with parts for repair, or they were removed from the battle positions and replaced with a new one.

Soldiers who have no mission for the time being simply sit down and rest where they are, enjoying the chance to rest and recuperate.

"The next battle will be even more difficult."

"Perhaps it's time to use it."

Li Cha looked at the Snow Giant King's Court warriors who were ready to go outside the energy shield, and then looked at the Ice and Snow Key in his hand.

"I don't know, the Ice and Snow Key's ability to control ice giants is still a bit weak against snow giants."

"Brave, do you think it is traditional for a snow giant to challenge the snow giant king?"

"Yes, my lord, in the tribe, if you are stronger than the leader, you can challenge the original leader. Any snow giant has the qualification to challenge the snow giant king."

Mangu was standing behind Li Cha, his huge body almost occupied a quarter of the width of the city wall. At the most intense moment of the battle, the snow giants from the Ice Flame Tribe who had deserted the royal court also joined the battle. Hundreds of people from the Ice Flame Tribe The snow giants fought side by side with humans.

Although the number of snow giants in the Ice Flame Department is small, their equipment is far better than that of their kind. Due to the influence of the environment on the snow field, the snow giants did not point out the technology tree of alchemy, and the tools they used were still ground stone tools. Mainly.

The snow giant warriors of the Ice Flame Department are supported by the production capacity of the entire Northland. Not only are their weapons replaced with metal products, but the frenzied Northland Ordnance Factory also customized helmets and breastplates for them, making them more armed. promote.

Fighting with the same kind has a lot of advantages, and not only did they not feel any discomfort when fighting with the same kind, but they worked extra hard, because they knew very well that if Xueyuan City fell, what awaited them would be a very tragic end.

His strength has just reached the sky level, and he is fully capable of being a barbarian leader of a medium-sized tribe. In the battle just now, he used his equipment to resist a snow giant general who was taller than him. The fighters basically have their own gains, and these snow giant traitors have become an important force in Xueyuan City.

At this time, Li Cha was continuing to learn about some strange traditions of Snow Giants from Mangu.

"However, this kind of challenge all comes from the same tribe, and I haven't heard of challenging the Snow Giant King in hundreds of years..."

The Snow Giant King itself is not low in force, and with the addition of an Ice and Snow Key to increase his strength, the Snow Giant King with a normal mind would not think of challenging the Snow Giant King.

"You said, if I challenge the Snow Giant King, will the Snow Giant King fight?"

"My lord, you are not a snow giant, the king will not fight."

"What if I were?"

"ah?"

Li Cha asked the barbarian in one sentence, this kind of assumption is a bit absurd.

But no matter what, the person who asked the question was Li Cha, and the man who was asked thought it carefully, and finally came up with the answer.

"The Snow Giant King may not necessarily accept your challenge. The royal court is different from the tribe. The king's authority can order the soldiers to attack you directly. After all, you do not belong to the royal court."

"Ah."

After listening to Mangu's answer, Li Cha laughed self-deprecatingly. He was still a little whimsical. Snow giants have a tradition of fighting one-on-one, but the higher the rank, the less likely they would abide by this tradition. It was hard for him to expect that the snow giant king would Fight him one-on-one for tradition.

"It's just that if you refuse this challenge, it will have a certain blow to the king's prestige."

Li Cha nodded, and he had already prepared two plans in his mind. It would be best if he could use the Ice and Snow Key to transform into the Ice Giant King and directly challenge the Snow Giant King in the subsequent battle. This way at least the battle could be resolved quickly and a large number of casualties would be reduced.

If the plan doesn’t work out, then we can only defend with all our strength. A lot of reinforcements have come from Miracle City. The steam crossbow researched by the Ordnance Factory has been moved to Xueyuan City. confident.

…

On the other side, outside the energy shield, Severo watched with a livid face that more than a thousand royal court fighters trapped on the other side were wiped out. In addition to the previous losses, the royal court fighters killed more than two thousand people. The loss rate has reached an astonishing 20%. Although the morale of the soldiers in the royal court is still good, this kind of casualties really makes Severo bleed.

"Wang, according to the last observation, this layer of white light should disappear at noon tomorrow."

"Um."

After listening to Gewuer's report, Severo gave a absent-minded hum, already thinking about how to reduce the casualties in the next siege.

"Geur, together with General Kawi, let the tribes cooperate with the royal court to send troops, if there is any disagreement."

"The enemy is present, and those who do not cooperate will be punished as traitors and can be executed on the spot."

"good!"

…

The soldiers of each tribe suffered a lot of losses. They just pulled down to lick their wounds. Under Severo's threatening order, they mobilized thousands of tribe soldiers again. The weak, the sick and the disabled have to deal with him, and the tribal leader has to lead the team himself.

Soon, the snow giant launched an attack on the human city again...
