Dozens of minutes later.

"Click......"

The sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded from the horizon, dust flew, and a large group of humans on horseback appeared.

The horses are nearly two meters tall, like flesh tanks, and the humans on horseback are slightly shorter in comparison, most of them are less than one meter six in height.

There were twenty of them, all dressed in yellow and green camouflage cloaks, with serious expressions and eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

They carried heavy crossbows on their backs, almost bent over, black metal arrows ready to be fired. The metal arrows had translucent ropes attached to their tails, and they looked very long, and they were placed on horsebacks in large piles, and the ends were tied around the waists of these people, apparently for climbing something.

"Click......"

The group rode horses for several hundred meters and stopped in front of several giant trees that were 100 meters high.

A middle-aged man at the head took out a parchment map from his arms, looked at it and said to the person behind him: "It should be around here, according to the report of the first detachment of the reconnaissance corps, there are an unknown number of giant activities here, which pose a certain threat to our city, and it is not ruled out that the suspicion that we are concentrating forces to attack our city."

Therefore, the task of our Ninth Detachment this time is to investigate the situation of the giants, determine how many giants there are, what their strength is, and whether there are any evolutionary bodies. If we can, we'll try to hunt down a lone giant and bring the blood back for analysis. Do you understand everything?"

"Yes. The people behind the middle-aged man nodded in unison, many of them young faces, but they all had serious expressions and determined eyes.

"Everything...... It's all for our city, for the protection of the walls that will never fall, and for the dawn of civilization. The middle-aged man at the head bowed his head and said, his expression was pious, as if he was praying for something.

"Everything...... It's all for our city, for the protection of the walls that will never fall, and for the dawn of civilization. The rest of the people followed, and they all drew their weapons and made a fighting stance.

"Action!" the middle-aged man waved his hand sharply.

"Brush!"

The rest of the group immediately scattered and walked around, carefully scouting a large area.

One of them, a red-haired teenager riding a black horse, chose due east, and after bypassing a dozen tall trees, his vision widened, and then his eyes suddenly contracted.

A hand hurriedly reached into his bosom, pulled out a whistle, and blew violently.

It is a special whistle that emits a low-frequency sound that can be heard by companions without disturbing most creatures, including giants.

The red-haired boy's whistle sounded, and after a while, the rest of the people rushed over, and were about to ask what the state was, when they saw the scene in front of the red-haired boy the next moment, they all froze, including the middle-aged man led by him, all showed stunned expressions.

I saw that on the vast earth, a giant of nearly 100 meters was lying on the ground, motionless, obviously dead.

Strangely, there were not many signs of battle on the giant's body - neither a special wound from a crossbow shot, nor a deep strangulation by a rope, only an inconspicuous wound near the heart socket.

This was obviously not hunted by their urban scout regiment, or even by ordinary soldiers like them.

I heard that in the rest of the cities far away, there are transformation soldiers with special abilities, who can kill giants with a single blow with the help of sneak attacks, but it is impossible to come to their urban areas to help and do good deeds.

What the hell is going on?

The middle-aged man was thinking about it, when one of his men rode up to him, patted him on the shoulder, pointed to a farther position, and said in a somewhat trembling voice: "Captain, look at that again." ”

"What?" the middle-aged man looked suspiciously, and saw a small mound in the direction he was pointing in.

After staring at it for two seconds, he blinked, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and he was surprised to find that it was not a small mound at all, at least not a natural one, but a mound of corpses made of giant corpses.

There were thirty corpses of giants, at least, piled up in one piece, and they were all dead. The cause of death was the same as that of the first giant, with almost no battle scars on his body, except for an inconspicuous wound near the heart socket.

The middle-aged man thought about breaking his head, and he couldn't imagine that there was any existence that could kill so many giants...... Even the members of the prehistoric civilization who were destroyed by the giants in legend can't do it, after all, if it does, how can it become a prehistoric civilization......

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.

The middle-aged man was full of doubts, and the ghost rode towards the giant corpse mound in doubt, and after a moment of bypassing the giant corpse mound, he saw more giant corpses appear on the ground, and spread into the distance, one after another, and the number was almost countless.

Here, the middle-aged man saw that among the corpses, there were many terrifying giants that had never been seen before, nearly two hundred meters high, if such an existence was alive, leading a team of ordinary giants, it would be enough to break their high walls, destroy their city, and become a nightmare for everyone.

But there are no ifs, even such a powerful terrifying giant is now like a dead dog with no dignity, lying motionless on the ground.

The middle-aged man felt a little suffocated, and the rest of the people who followed the middle-aged man to the surroundings were also a little suffocated, feeling that he had encountered the most incomprehensible thing in his life.

According to their reasoning, the matter was obviously much more serious than the first detachment of the Survey Corps said, and there were far more than imaginable giants gathering in this area, and it was no surprise that they wanted to raid their city and destroy the few remaining flames of civilization.

But just before the Giants attacked, an unexpected factor broke in, killed the giants, and forcibly changed the fate of their city to be destroyed.

So what is this unexpected factor?

The middle-aged man took out a pocket monocular from his arms, stretched it out with his hand, and followed the direction of the giant's corpse to look farther away, until he saw the mountains in the distance.

Then he saw that inside the mountain, a giant king who seemed to be more than two hundred meters high was roaring, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he shook his body and fell straight down.

A very ordinary-looking person appeared, walked up to the Giant King, waved his hand, and something very small flew out of the Giant King's heart and landed in his hand.

Then the man thrust his hand into the air, as if grasping the doorknob of a transparent door, and a gray light flashed, followed by the man who disappeared without a trace, leaving only the corpses scattered all over the mountain.

The middle-aged man put away his binoculars, opened his mouth, and then, under the puzzled gaze of his subordinates, jumped off his horse, bowed down in the direction of the mountain in the distance, and made the most pious salute.

In the eyes of the middle-aged man, he couldn't understand what kind of existence the man in his vision was just now, but this did not prevent him from expressing his most sincere gratitude for saving the lives of the entire city residents, including him.
