Wyverns don't use fire to cook food, they tear it up and eat it raw after they're done hunting, and in the Ural Mountains, the only people who can cook food with fire are the barbarians.

The previous intelligence had already stated that those barbarians were able to control the Wyvern and Thunderbird to attack, and now seeing this, it can only be said that it verifies the authenticity of the information, and it is not worth their surprise.

The ones who were really surprised should be those who launched the attack barbarians, because they knew that the Wyvern was powerful, and if they were only defeated by the spellcaster, they would have used those things that seemed to be magnified versions of bows and arrows to shoot down the Wyvern like this, making them feel a haze in their hearts about this war.

"What about them? Are they still moving on?"

As the leader of each tribe this time, Goliath crossed her waist and looked at the little black dots at the foot of the mountains, the enemies who were about to enter their homeland and plunder their wealth.

Goliath was a woman, but even in the pristine and savage Ural Mountains, she managed to become the leader of the largest tribe in the region with her strength and charisma.

"No, they didn't go any further, but were encamped at the foot of the hill ahead. ”

The guards told Golia the news they had heard, which made her face darken a little.

The tribe was already ready, just waiting for the Baltic Empire's army to enter the mountain range and give them a surprise gift, but they didn't expect the other party to be so cautious and maintain such a cautious way at such a time.

"Chief, are we going to do a night raid at night?"

The guard asked eagerly, because they live in such a dangerous mountain range all year round, and the barbarians here can see things with a little light, so when dealing with these outsiders, they often like to take the method of sneak attack at night, because during the day, they really can't fight.

"No, these guys are very different from what we've encountered before, he's right, if we fought the way we did before, we would never have won. ”

“…… Chief, I think you're right. ”

Looking at those tiny black shadows, quickly cutting down the surrounding trees, clearing the surrounding stones and weeds, digging deep ravines in the ground, and using the felled trees to build a city wall, the guards reluctantly admitted this.

These people are really very different from the previous slave catching teams, the slave catching teams will not have such a large team, they will not be so professionally encamped, and they will not have such a weapon that can shoot down the dragon so easily.

"Wait, let's continue to test it, and let the hill giants attack at night. ”

"Do you use a rolling stone?"

"No, with mudslides. ”

The enemy is just at the foot of the mountain, and directly use a relatively large mudslide to destroy the opponent in one fell swoop, because the mudslide is in the mountains, and mortals can't resist natural disasters, just like encountering an avalanche on a snowy mountain, you can only pray for your good luck.

"It's a good thing to be cautious. ”

Night gradually began to fall, and the bright crescent moon hung high in the sky at some point, and the white light sprinkled on the ground, but this faint light was enough for the guards to see the surroundings clearly.

At night, sentry is carried out by races that can see in the dark, such as the gnolls, and can use their keen sense of smell and hearing to detect what might happen around them.

Farther out, there are spellcasters' demons on guard, whether it be an ant or an owl, and it is difficult for the enemy to sneak up in the face of such a perfect early warning measure.

Nor are they taking a sneak attack

More than a dozen hill giants had taken advantage of the night and the tall trees of the forest to reach a kilometer away from the camp, where they were already at the limit of what they could hide with herbs.

In the Ural Mountains, there are some tribes who are good at hiding themselves, because their combat effectiveness is weak, and if they don't have the slightest ability to do it, they have already been eliminated by the cruel environment.

In the face of these fierce enemies from the bottom of the mountain, they had to unite together, and they had to come up with their own means of pressing the bottom of the box, the people in the mountain did not have as much thought as the people outside, because in such a cruel environment, because it was very difficult to survive, and there was no time and energy to carry out intrigues.

The Hill Giants are capable of controlling the earth, and they are also described in many stories as the darlings of the Earth Goddess, and are believed to be descendants of Uria, the first god of the Olympian lineage.

This is a long time ago, and it is impossible to verify history, and it is estimated that only the gods and the beings associated with the gods can distinguish the truth of these stories.

However, whether the story is true or not, it is impossible to deny the power of these hill giants, they have a body like a stone, and their tall bodies allow them to run rampant on the ground, even the dragons that soar through the sky can do nothing with these bulky creatures.

The ground began to shake, a hurried horn sounded in the barracks, and in a matter of minutes, the army was assembled, with heavy infantry in sturdy armor standing at the head of the wall, archers in the rear, cavalry on standby, and spellcasters gathered together, ready for magic to respond.

"What happened? Where is the enemy? What kind of attack did they use?"

The commander of the Sixth Legion quickly asked his herald, but soon his eyes were drawn to the nearby mountain peaks, he had already discovered the cause of the earthquake, and he didn't need anyone to answer him.

In his field of vision, the mountains were slowly collapsing, tall trees were uprooted, and then disappeared into them, countless birds flew into the sky in panic, and a large number of wild beasts and insects were scattering and fleeing.

【Mudslide】

The Sixth Army Commander was indeed very unfamiliar with this kind of natural disasters that often occurred in mountainous areas, but he was very familiar with avalanches, because he used to live in the Norwegian mountains of Scandinavia, where avalanches occur every day.

"Let those spellcasters dispatch, I have expected such a situation before, follow the emergency measures, don't panic, it's just a mudslide. ”

The calm attitude of the legion commander was easily transmitted to the people around him, and they looked at the supreme commander of the army, and looked at the calm appearance of the horse, and the restlessness in their hearts and the fear of death disappeared at once.

The next protagonists are the spellcasters

They silently obeyed the orders of the corps commander, without much further words, the plan had already been formulated and executed step by step, as a single tool, there was no need to think about tactics, there was nothing simpler than this.

What is a mudslide

A mudslide is a special torrent of mud, gravel, rocks and other objects that mix together and flow rapidly downwards due to landslides.

There is no way to solve such a disaster by conventional means, and in magic, there is a very simple magic that even an apprentice can learn, which can be well targeted.

The name of that magic is called "Turning Mud into Stone", which turns soft clay into hard stones, which has no lethal power, and is usually used to make building materials.

However, this kind of magic is aimed at soft soil, and it is equivalent to a mudslide, and with the caster's action, the gray color begins to quickly erode the torrent that is rolling down.

The rate of erosion became faster and faster, and the speed of the mudslide became slower and slower, until finally about three hundred meters of the camp stopped, and in front of the warriors, a special building made of pure stone, was created.

"Well done, stay on guard, the rest of the people go to rest. ”

The commander did not hesitate to praise him, looked at the mountains that had been quiet again, and even the chirping of insects and birds had disappeared, and waved his hand to let the warriors return to their tents to rest.

"Commander, don't you let people look for it? If you attack at this time, you may be able to achieve good results. ”

"No need, the commander of the other side is also very cautious, he will not give us such a chance, waste time to do these things, it is better to have a good rest and rest, tomorrow's battle will definitely be very fierce. ”

"Also, that guy is very smart, he hasn't shown up until now, and he hasn't caught any tails for us, as was the case with the Wyvern before and the mudslide this time. ”

After saying that, the legion commander waved his hand and returned to his tent to rest.

The rest of the things are naturally handled by other officers, and in this regard, the Imperial army has a very complete system, so that each officer can perform his or her own duties, so that they can fulfill their duties.

The rest of the night became very calm, and as the Legion Commander had expected, Golia, seeing that the mudslide had been so easily broken, immediately caused the Hill Giants to retreat.

She needed to reassess the enemy's combat level, and that neat casting of magic was definitely not something that ordinary spellcasters could do, and it was very different from what she had imagined.

In her impression, the casters are arrogant and will never cooperate, because they can't let go of their arrogance, put down their glory, and cooperate.

But now, this notion has been completely shattered, and she can't feel a little arrogance from the other party's spellcaster...... The absence of arrogant spellcasters means that no matter what situation they deal with, they will be calm and do their best, which is really terrible.

Even if you use a tactic to show the enemy weakness, it won't work

Maybe it's self-defeating and turns yourself at a disadvantage

"Let them keep an eye on them, and the rest of them go back to rest, and let me know as soon as there is any information. ”

Leaving behind a small group of gnolls and birds to communicate with, Golia left the place and returned to the place where the Horde Alliance was located, and on this point she and the Legion Commander had a very similar conclusion, that the battle during the day and night was an appetizer today, and that the real battle would be tomorrow.

"Where is the battlefield choice for tomorrow?"

Halfway through, Goliath's guard couldn't help but ask.

Because of the long hours of guarding, these guards have a very good personal relationship with Golia, and there is no strangeness between ordinary tribesmen and tribal leaders.

However, in such a public presence, such a reckless question would essentially damage Goliath's prestige, and if such a situation arose in the Imperial army, and a guard casually asked these sensitive questions, the guard would be subject to strict scrutiny to see if it was a spy planted by another force.

“……”

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow we ambush them there, and after tonight's mudslide, it has become the only way to get into the mountains from here. ”

Golia said, pointing to a valley in the distance.

She had a good choice about the direction of the mudslide, even if she didn't achieve the first goal, she had to achieve the second goal and destroy the other roads into the mountains.

Without these roads, it would take a long time to reopen a new road, and it would be very troublesome, and Goliath felt that if she led an army to attack the Ural Mountains, she would definitely not be so slow and swallowed.

Even if it is a danger, it must be solved quickly, because the flying dragon and the mudslide are solved so easily, the other party's heart must be full of confidence, and will not stop moving forward because of some small problems.

Goliath felt that if she was in the position of the other party's commander, with such a powerful and even overwhelming power, even if she knew that it was a trap that the enemy had already arranged, she would step into it and trample the trap to pieces.

"No, tomorrow's battle will be decided. ”

"The army of outsiders, I admit that it is indeed very strong, but we are not weak, we still have the help of the mountains, and it is absolutely impossible to usher in defeat in this land. ”

Gloria said confidently, her words and smile were contagious to those around her, dissipating the frustration that had just been caused by the simple cracking of the mudslide.

Maybe Goliath didn't know that the guards next to her were not necessarily loyal to her, or that the one who was loyal to her was no longer the person he once was.

The intelligence forces of the empire and the scouts of the army, who had been operating in the Ural Mountains for several years, spent an astronomical amount of money on their activities every year, and they did not squander them in vain.

Tomorrow, after a brief harvest of all these years, the all-knowing Baltic Empire army will face off against a tribal coalition led by Golia, who thinks they are sure of victory.

Such a sight reminds one of what happened in Scandinavia, when the man who was the commander of the coalition forces and defended against a powerful foreign invader was called Beowulf.

Even now, the [Dragon Slayer] has not been completely forgotten by the people of the Northlands-Beowulf
