Chapter 169: The Gifted Talents of Some Aliens
With Bol's tacit consent, the elven ranger Linlia took over the command of Ivan.
Because of her low strength, this female elf cannot pull the elven longbow with a range of 400 yards like a real elven archer.
Therefore, the ranger could only rely on his proficiency in ballistics and windage correction to make his shortbow shoot a long enough distance in a parabolic trajectory.
In previous battles, this ability made Lin Liya admired by many elven longbowmen.
Now, by observing the results of three shootings, Lin Liya quickly figured out how to operate this strange weapon.
It has to be said that the weapon created by the human being Alvin is easier to control than bows and arrows, or even the elves' city defense crossbows.
The rapid activation method does not require much physical energy to be used, and can cause destructive power that even dozens of city defense crossbows cannot surpass;
The speed of that kind of artillery shell is so high that it is difficult to capture with the naked eye. With such terrifying kinetic energy, the impact of wind will be minimized.
After calculating the wild giant's speed and the current wind speed, Lin Liya adjusted the gun barrel a few times again.
Under the command of Xiling and Boll, the other artillery positions adjusted their angles in the same way as the Rangers.
The short girl Lian was holding a cannonball and looking at Lin Liya with great excitement.
Unlike the Elf Ranger, this little guy doesn't care about troublesome things like parabolas.
She just enjoyed the thrill of "launching" and "exploding".
Finally, when the wild giant approached the distance she had set, Lin Liya shouted "Fire" in an inappropriate voice.
Even with the experience of the three previous single shots, the people on the city wall still felt frightened by the huge sound waves caused by the simultaneous firing of ten mortars.
Especially the dozen or so frost giants holding frost spears, ready for hand-to-hand combat at any time.
Since Hega took away most of the adult population as a labor force to earn extra money from "rare steel", now except for the unreliable Soi, the rest on the city wall are all half-grown frost giants who have not yet reached adulthood.
These "little friends" who had been training in the Ancestral Hall were so frightened by the deafening roar that seemed to be able to stop the heart that they stood still.
Even the angry thunder on the Spine of the World was not as shocking as this horrifying sound. Some people who were closer even heard a buzzing sound in their ears.
The other short man, who was not even as tall as a gun barrel, was shaking like a sieve.
Xiling, who had been organizing and coordinating the combat team, saw her sister and couldn't help but walk forward and put her hand on the shoulder of the little half-elf, trying to comfort the little girl like she did when she was a child to calm her down.
As a result, when Xiao Lian turned around, her eyes widened and her face was full of an expression that showed she wanted to do it again.
"Sister! Sister!
My perverted brother-in-law’s gun is so powerful!
It's much more powerful than the artillery we saw from the southern dwarves before - ah, it hurts...
Sister, why did you hit me again?"
As expected, a certain outspoken little fellow got a slap in the face.
In the distance, the wild giant leader was only a few hundred yards away from the city wall and had no time to see the tragic scene after the attack.
The damage from this attack was heavy, with almost half of the wild giants falling in the snow, and many of them turned into stumps.
The spellcaster on the Frost Giant side didn't play according to the routine at all.
He knew that the next attack would come soon and he had to cross the distance in the shortest time possible.
Otherwise, the wild giants left on the plains will only become targets for legendary spells.
Given enough time, it wouldn't be difficult for the legendary spellcaster on the city wall to wipe out his entire tribe.
As North led his guards to charge at the end of the team, he took out a round emblem the size of a fingernail from his arms - of course, it was the fingernail of a wild giant.
This is a gift bestowed upon him by the Dragon God from another world, a strategic-level magic item that allows all members to brave and fearless of death.
He pulled over a guard who was standing there in a daze. There had just been an explosion, and the location was very close to the middle of the team.
The poor wild giant had half of his face cut off by a piece of bone flying towards him.
With one hand on the bloody head of the wild giant and the other hand holding the disc, North chanted a strange prayer in an alien language that he was not very proficient in.
As the prayer sounded in the air, the wild giant who had been standing there in a daze "collapsed" at an extremely fast speed as if some invisible creature was sucking liquid all over his body.
The body that was once full of muscles is now full of wrinkles caused by excessive water loss;
His chest and abdomen were squeezed together, and his height of nearly four and a half meters was suddenly reduced by half.
All the fluid in the wild giant's body, including the fluid in his internal organs, disappeared.
When the guard who was used as a sacrifice trembled weakly for a few times, he fell lifeless in the snow;
The disc in North's other hand emitted a dark red light, beating like a heartbeat, getting faster and faster.
Just when the frequency of the flashes was almost impossible to see clearly, a circle of magic ripples emanated from North's hand and spread out at an extremely fast speed, covering all the wild giants who were still standing.
"attack!"
After completing the sacrifice ceremony, North took the peculiarly shaped giant sword from the guard beside him and shouted, pointing it at the wall of the Frost Giants.
"Roar--"
The other wild giants who could originally speak a few words of Giant language now all had red eyes and roared like wild beasts.
Those wild giants with broken limbs also climbed up from the ground with roars, using their broken bones to support their bodies, and rushed forward as if they felt no pain.
The elf ranger on the city wall quickly noticed the enemy's changes, and her expression suddenly became tense.
"Your Excellency the Headmaster! Your Excellency Ivan!
The wild giant seems to have become a fallen being!"
That’s right, the sacrificial ritual used by North was actually a trap set by the “Dragon God” behind the scenes.
The spell effect of that magic item is not a strategic magic at all. Instead, it causes nearby creatures to be directly cut off from their own gods and spirits, causing them to degenerate.
However, Norse, who was immersed in trampling the remaining old and weak Frost Giants, becoming the new master of the Spine of the World, and even the lord of the entire North, did not understand the difference between them.
With his intelligence, which was slightly smarter than that of the wild giants but still limited, he thought that strategic magic could make creatures immune to pain.
This short but extremely strong wild giant excitedly waved his giant sword towards the city wall in front of him, as if this would directly destroy the Frost Giant's new territory.
Boom boom boom——
Another series of explosions sounded on the plains.
This time, Lin Liya arranged the salvo as a saturation attack.
The frenzied fireball spell, accompanied by fragments, swept across the entire formation of wild giants.
North walked quickly, and he felt that he had completely ignored the pain of the fragments piercing his body.
The savage giant rushed to within a hundred meters of the city wall, raised his giant sword again, and slashed from top to bottom.
Then he noticed that the arm holding the huge sword was missing.
"Roar!"
Like other wild giants, this wild giant leader, who spent most of his life driving the frost giants out of the Spine of the World, can no longer speak normal language.
