Chapter 11: The Stone-Skinned Giant

Wren and the other knights quickly rushed to the gate of the town, mounted their horses, and lined up in a solemn formation.

Wren knew very well in his heart that this Bear Helm Town must not be a little half-missed. Because it is related to the armor and weapons supply of the Imperial army.

He touched his chest, which had not yet fully healed, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn, this is obviously near the Imperial Capital Holy Light City, how can there be a stone-skinned giant infested?"

You know, stone-skinned giants generally live in the deep mountains and forests, where there are many towns and cities, and there are cars and people on the roads, so how can there be stone-skinned giants?

Moreover, stone-skinned giants generally have a relatively gentle temperament, and if they do not invade their territory, they will generally not take the initiative to attack humans.

Not long after, a huge figure appeared in front of everyone with heavy footsteps.

Dylan climbed onto the roof of a blacksmith shop and stood on tiptoe to look out.

I saw that it was a huge wild man, about five or six meters tall, with not much hair on his body, and not much clothing to cover his body. He had a stout stick in his hand and was striding towards it.

There was an inexplicable anger in his eyes. As the guard said, the giant was clearly not passing by, but preparing to storm into Bearhelm.

Wren raised the long sword in his hand and shouted, "Listen to me, although the stone-skinned giants are large and powerful, their biggest weakness is their slow movement and slow reaction. ”

"So, we must make good use of this, see the right time to attack, and we must not go head-to-head with him!

The knights replied in unison, "Understood!" Obviously, this was not the first time Wren had faced the stone-skinned giant.

But for some reason, this time Wren always felt very uneasy, as if he knew that something ominous was about to happen.

Although the stone-skinned giant didn't step very often, every step out of it was four meters away, so it didn't take long for him to come to a hundred meters outside the town.

As soon as they saw that they had entered the range of fire, the archers on the watchtower of the town immediately drew their bows and fired sharply.

Hearing only the sound of "whoosh", thirty or forty feathered arrows were fired at the giant with a wooden stick.

The sound of clanging bells came, and most of the feathered arrows could not penetrate the tough skin of the stone-skinned giant. Occasionally, some archers with amazing arm strength only shoot arrows through the weaker parts of the giant's skin. For example, the lower abdomen, neck, etc., but it is only a little pierced, and it cannot cause substantial damage at all.

The giant roared angrily, and his voice was loud in all directions, and he slapped the feather arrows on his body at will, and all of them broke in an instant.

The second rain of arrows soon arrived, and the stone-skinned giant waved his hands and blocked all the arrows.

The giant was visibly enraged, and immediately roared and quickened his pace. Everyone felt that the earth was shaking.

Wren immediately ordered: "All knights prepare!

With Wren's order, more than a dozen knights rushed towards the stone-skinned giant on their horses.

Soon, Wren was the first to rush to the feet of the stone-skinned giant. He clenched his sword and slashed at the stone-skinned giant's shin. He knew that only when the great sword in his hand was swung vigorously could it penetrate the giant's heavy skin.

With a bang, the giant's calf was cut out of a ten-centimeter-long and three-four-centimeter-deep opening, and blood spurted out at once.

With a miserable cry, the giant was in pain, and his body tilted uncontrollably to one side. At the same time, the wooden stick as thick as a tree pole in the giant's hand slapped in front of Wren at once.

Wren was turning his horse at this time, trying to dodge the blow, but it was too late. Based on his previous experience, it was impossible for the Stone-skinned Giant to react so quickly, but this Giant was very different. In the end, there was really no way, and Wren could only block the long sword in front of him.

With a "bang", Wren was knocked out with men and horses. After flying three or four meters, it landed heavily on the ground.

Previously, the wound on his chest had not healed, but now he was hit so hard that a large mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth. He wanted to get back on his feet, but he couldn't.

And the white war horse has also fallen in a pool of blood, and it seems that it will not survive.

At the same time, more than a dozen other knights were also injured to varying degrees at this time.

Knights are good at charging on open plains, so that they can exert their maximum combat power. However, the terrain here is not flat, and it is impossible to maintain a neat formation, so the combat effectiveness of the knights cannot be reflected at all.

Although the knights suffered heavy casualties, the stone-skinned giant was also riddled with holes, bleeding everywhere, and his actions were affected to a certain extent.

Although the giant was wounded, the smell of blood seemed to inspire his anger and madness, and he completely ignored the dozens of wounds on his body, smashed through the ranks of knights, and sprinted towards the gate of the town.

Standing on the rooftop, Dylan was very anxious as he watched the fierce battle outside the town. But I'm very weak and can't seem to help at all.

Seeing that the knights suffered heavy casualties, the guards of the town could no longer resist, and the stone-skinned giant also reached fifty meters outside the town and entered a sufficient range. I only heard the bearded Solov shouting at the watchtower: "It's almost over, get the dragon crossbow out!"

I only heard the sound of "clucking", and on the sentry towers on the left and right, a giant bow and crossbow more than two meters long and more than two meters wide were erected. Come to think of it, that's the so-called dragon crossbow.

The guards on the watchtower quickly wound the dragon crossbow, then fastened a giant crossbow arrow nearly three meters to the string, and then quickly took aim.

"Release!" Seeing that the two dragon crossbows were ready, Solov immediately gave the order.

"Whirring" two screams, and two giant crossbow arrows shot at the almost mad stone-skinned giant.

With two pops, one dragon crossbow shot through the stone-skinned giant's shoulder, and another through his thigh. This caused the giant, which had been sprinting forward, to stop rushing forward and fall to the ground with a wail.

There was a loud bang, dust flew everywhere, and the stone-skinned giant fell to the ground, blood flowing outward, and the ground was already stained red.

The stone-skinned giant wailed in pain, and the club in his hand had been broken in two.

Dylan looked into the giant's eyes, and for some reason he didn't seem to see any anger in them, all that was left was a clear patch of tears from the pain.

"Shoot him!" Solov ordered without hesitation.

Dylan was about to stop it. , but it's too late. With a bang, a huge dragon crossbow pierced the giant's head, killing the giant instantly.
