Chapter 1: The Green Robes
The wind whistled in his ears, and the gelding under him crossed a dead tree that fell to the ground, Cassiu tightened the reins, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the gelding rose into the air and landed in an instant, he took a deep breath, shouted, and continued to move on.

"Good! Cassiu!" Captain Aldington's voice was a little hoarse, and he ordered, "Rangers, stay in formation, keep up." ”
A few days ago, the advance party of the Rangers entered the depths of the Misty Forest, which was full of giant creatures: spiders larger than fists, carnivorous flowers larger than wooden basins, lizards as big as cats, and so on. The captain said that when the giants woke up, they were hungry like they were coming back from hell, and they would eat everything around them, and those huge creatures seemed to be the appetizers that nature had given to the giants, which could help the giants recover after waking up. The captain said that this meant that the advance party had entered the sleeping land of the giants.
It didn't take long for them to come across a giant who was devouring a lizard, and Grant couldn't take it anymore and shot an arrow in his back, and the giant turned his head, spotted the advance party, threw the lizard, and ran with a roar.
"The soldiers are divided into two ways!" the captain pointed to the left, "Team Eddard, go to the left, ambush to that wood, me and Cassiu as bait, Grant go to the flat land on the right, after the giants reach the flat ground, you and Ed will kill from both sides." ”
The giant easily stepped over the fallen trunk and roared after it.
"Our horse is faster than him, why can't we drag him to death with speed?" Cassius questioned as he looked back at the giant, "He's got an arrow in his back and just woke up, so let's use our speed to drag him down and then kill." ”
"There are too few places in the forest where you can ride a horse. Aldington replied, pulling the reins, turning the horse's head, facing the giant, and drawing his sword.
Grant's squad appeared from the giant's right rear, each of them holding a crossbow, and with a fluttering sound, the crossbow sent out arrows, the giant screamed, and was hit by an arrow in his right arm and right shoulder, he turned around and rushed towards Grant's team.
"Ed!" the captain looked in the direction of the forest, and there was no sign of Eddard's team.
"What about Eddard?" Cassiu looked at it, although there was a faint fog in the forest, the visibility was not bad, and Ed and they shouldn't get lost.
Team Grant sent out a second wave of crossbows and arrows, and the giant ran more than ten steps, staggered, and fell to his knees.
"Spread out! Long Sword Attack!" Grant ordered, and the team dispersed, surrounding the giants, one man and one sword, slashing at the giants.
The giant's skin was like rhinoceros skin, dark red blood flowed from the place where it was shot by the crossbow and arrow, and the skin was cut by the sword.
"Look, that's what the Rangers are really capable of. The captain pointed to the Grant team, which was attacking in turn, "The crossbow we use can penetrate the chain mail, which is enough for the giants." As long as there is enough space to gallop our horses, we will have a way to kill the giants. ”
"So the rangers can defeat the 800 Meno cavalry with 300 men, and the knights disdain to use bows and arrows, crossbows. When he said this, Cassieu was a little remorseful, Captain Aldington was originally a knight, and by saying this, he was fanning the flames.
The captain's ice-blue eyes stared at Kasiu, and his tone was cold, and he replied, "In the Great Wall, you can choose what works. The Rangers only know that the battle is life and death. Darkness falls, sinister everywhere, and you have no choice. Magician, you've got to really fit in with the Rangers, you know?"
The Grant rangers were swords-along, their horses panting, and they shouted loudly, venting their anger, excitement, and nervousness.
Cassius was silent. You shouldn't be like this, Cassiu, after you came to the Great Wall, you kept digging people's scars, like a long-tongued woman. Darkness descends, and everywhere is sinister. The captain is right, the real enemy of the Rangers is the Giants. I shouldn't have measured the Rangers by chivalry, kidnapped the Rangers with the virtues of those knightly games.
The giant roared, a deafening roar that woke Cassius from his musings, only to see the giant roar into the sky with the last of his strength. Grant mustered up his courage and thrust his sword into the giant's throat with all his might. The giant whimpered and fell to the ground.
"Ed, Ed, they!oh my God! behind them!" Anthony's eyes widened in horror, pointing to the forest where Eddard's team had entered.
Ed's face was bleeding, and there were only 3 people left in his squad. Behind them, three giants were in hot pursuit, they were more than 6 meters tall, and they were holding huge stone axes, and rushed over.
The Grant team adjusts the formation, lined up in a row, and crossbows and arrows.
"Wait, don't hurt Ed!" the captain yelled, "Change to a long sword, let's go!"
No, I must no longer be a spectator. Kasiu kicked the spur and yelled, "I'm going to save Eddard, Captain, you guys are going around from the side!"
"You're crazy!" Aldington roared, and Cassiu ignored him.
Ed's horse tripped over a stone, Ed was overturned to the ground, the giant chased after him, the stone axe slashed down, Ed's horse was split by the waist, blood splattered Ed's body, the giant pulled out the stone axe, aimed at Ed who was crushed under the horse, and slashed down, and the sword in Kaxiu's hand turned into a spear, parrying the blow.
"He's so powerful!" Grant smacked his lips, "resisting the giant's slash head-on." ”
Aldington shouted, "Stunned!
The giant who fought against Cassius was more than 6 meters tall, his rhinoceros skin-like folded skin was a little whitish, and the giant's canine teeth protruded outward, and he roared loudly, and his saliva dripped down. He held a stone axe and stared at Cassiu.
"Come on, big man!" Cassius lowered his iron spear and defiantly turned to the giant. Aldington and Grant are pinning down the other 2 giants, and he will have to fight alone.
Don't be afraid, I'm a "white demon" worthy of a squad by myself. Cassius told himself that he swung his spear, flames enveloped the tip of the spear, and he charged at the giant.
The giant dodged sideways past the charging horse!Cassius was startled, and when he turned the horse's head, the stone axe slashed at his head, and he subconsciously used his shield to block it, and his arm was almost unconscious. But to make matters worse, his horse could not stand the shock, wailed, and fell to his knees with his front hooves. Cassius was thrown out of his horse, his left foot still hanging from his stirrup. This flick saved his life, and the great axe swung again. Almost the entire horse's head was cut off, and the great axe sank into the horse's neck.
As Cassiu's left foot came off the stirrup, the giant punched him in the chest, sending him flying like he had been hit by a church bell. He coughed a few times, squeezing out the air in his lungs, and with each breath, the muscles in his chest expanded and there was a rush of pain. If it weren't for the armor protection, my ribs would have been broken.
The giant pulled out his stone axe and rushed over, and Kaxiu dodged sideways and struggled to get up. His spear fell next to his horse, and he could only block the attack with a shield tied to his left hand.
"Die!" Anthony shot his crossbow at the giant, who was shot in the back, and he turned his head and rushed over.
"Anthony, run!" Cassius shouted, he pressed his hand to the ground, and an earthen wall appeared in front of the giant, and the giant crashed into it, and the earthen wall was overwhelmed, and Anthony was crushed under the giant.
Cassius stumbled and waved his hand, and the giant's hair caught fire. The giant wailed, threw away the stone axe, and slapped its head.
Suddenly, Cassius felt breathless, and he didn't know if it was an internal injury from being knocked out of the chest, or if it was the situation he feared the most. Don't, not now.
He coughed, clutched his chest, and waved his hand, and the giant that Aldington led the team to contain also burned, and he waved his hand again, and an earthen wall appeared in front of the giant pinned down by Team Grant, and the earthen wall slowly rose, and the speed was beyond his surprise, and suddenly, the earthen wall stopped when it rose to 2 meters.
Don't! Not now! Cassiu's heart tightened, and his breathing became more and more difficult.
"Kill him!" Grant roared, holding his sword in both hands, slashing into the back of the giant's calf, and the rangers swarmed up, and the giant swung his axe, and blood splattered, and the head of a ranger flew out on the spot.
"Ahhhh The Rangers took turns attacking, and the giant finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground.
The giant with his hair on fire screamed, and the flames quickly enveloped his face, and he went on a rampage, roaring, crashing into a tree, falling to the ground and rolling.
"Shoot!" Captain Aldington ordered. Cassius only heard the rattle of the crossbow.
We won. He realized, a smile surfaced, and his eyes went dark.
After some time, he felt bitter in his mouth, and his consciousness gradually returned, coughed a few times, and opened his eyes.
"He's awake!" exclaimed Fat William happily, "Hey, Cassiu, you're alright, you're still alive." ”
Grant lifted Cassiu's body, made him sit up, and praised, "Magician, you guy is so hidden, you have more strength than me, catch the giant's slash with one hand!"
Fat William touched Kathew's chest: "Look, your sternum is not broken, and your armor defense is so powerful!
Cassiu took a deep breath and noticed that although his chest hurt, his ribs seemed to be fine. His strength hadn't recovered yet, and his voice was a little soft: "My weapons and armor are mixed with arcane crystals. A Magician's Crystal. I'm an iron magician. ”
"It doesn't matter what kind of magician you are. Captain Aldington's ice-blue eyes were full of smiles, "It's the first time I've seen a guy who takes on the Giants alone. Oh yes, and the guy who singled out the leopard, it's all you, the white devil. ”
"What about Anthony? what about the others?" Cassius ignored the compliments, and he noticed that there were fewer and fewer people.
Captain Aldington's face immediately became solemn: "After Ed's team entered the forest, they encountered the three giants, and they tried to contain them in order to ensure that we could kill the one outside the forest, and in the end only 3 people escaped, and Ed was crushed by the horse's leg. As for Anthony ......"
Kasiu followed everyone's gaze and saw a corpse with bloody flesh and blood. Just the other day, after he singled out the leopard, Anthony looked at Cassius like a child, his eyes were full of adoration. Right now, in order to save Kasei, he has become a cold corpse. Tears welled up in his eyes.
Moments later, the three rangers were buried on a flat terrain.
Kasiu's face was solemn, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Captain, I swear to join the Rangers, and I am willing to say the oath. ”
"You're a magician. William reminded, "Your original military rank was Dazuo, even if you were assigned to the Ranger, as long as you had a white robe, you would be a Shaozuo rank." But if you swear, you'll lose your rank......"
"Sam is right, I'm both a Ranger and a Sorcerer," Cassiu smirked, "The Ranger's clothes are green, and there is no green in the rank of the robes, and when I get back to the Wall, I'll dye the robes green." The green robe, one of a kind. ”
"Rank......" William smacked his lips.
"Go to his rank, I'm the deputy captain of the Rangers, the Imperial Seal of His Majesty the Emperor!" Kaxiu lowered his face and said solemnly, "I am the owner of the green robe, the deputy captain of the Ranger - Kaxiu!"
Captain Aldington's ice-blue eyes were full of smiles, and he nodded, "Welcome to our vice-captain!" However, there was no time to celebrate, and Ed went into the forest and found a huge hole, which may be where the giants slew. Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" Cassius endured the tightness in his chest and followed the Rangers to recite the oath, "We are Thor's spear, lightning in the dark, we are all brothers, we will never leave us, we will not abandon the empire, and we will not rest until death." ”
The advance party of 22 people at the time of departure, now only 12 people remained, and finally entered the land of the giant's sleep.
