Feeling the thrill of discovering new knowledge gave Flamal a new door opening in front of him.

He felt that if this continued, things would go in a good direction, and he could even open up a new discipline ———— Giant's language.

The Viking Duke was never conservative, and he ordered a group of highly educated officers to come into contact with the giants and master each other's languages as quickly as possible.

Only by figuring out what they are saying can we further plan and revise the direction of the war.

The giant captives behaved submissively, and they seemed to have accepted their fate and accepted their current identity honestly. Fierce resistance only appeared in the early days of captivity, and after eating a few delicious food from the south, it gradually became silent. It was evident that they were fond of wine, and Flamal ordered an increase in the supply of wine for each meal, and the giants no longer showed any resistance, not even hostility in their eyes.

Flamal chooses a giant captive who seems to be the youngest, usually the most communicative, and willing to talk, and tries to untie the chains, giving him a brief period of freedom.

He behaved calmly, like a rabbit that had been successfully domesticated.

With the first, there is the second.

When the last of the giant captives was unchained for good behavior, Flamal's confidence swelled to its peak. He finally believes that there are no absolute aliens in this world, and what all living beings need is to understand and communicate with each other. As long as I understand them and give them what they want, I will get something in return.

As it turned out that he was right———— the giant POWs told Flamal more things, mainly about the tribes, the white-minded "kingdoms." The country of the ox, the country of the tiger, the country of the lion, the country of the eagle, the country of the deer...... The most powerful of these kingdoms belong to a type of monster called the "Dragon". The predecessor of this kingdom was the cow, which successively annexed deer, eagles, horses, and pigs, and finally became the most powerful existence above the beast kingdom in terms of overall strength.

Yes, they worship the beast, so all the behavioral manifestations of the northern giants are related to the beast. Flamal even had all sorts of malicious thoughts of continuity, could these savage giants have a direct intimacy with the beasts of the mountains and forests?

Just when the Viking Duke decided that everything was under control and ordered the ban on all giant captives to be lifted and allowed to roam freely in the designated area, the mutation began.

The giants attacked the guards, and with incredible force they wrung the bones of the poor guards, and even gnawed the throats of two of them like wild beasts.

They rushed out of the prison area, picked up anything they thought could be used as a weapon, and killed hundreds of people in one fell swoop.

A captain was poked through the eye socket with the barrel of a gun, through the brain. If it weren't for the strong barbarian who didn't know how to use the musket, he would have caused more deaths.

A soldier is grabbed by the legs of two giants and torn in half.

A non-commissioned officer was thrown down from behind by the giant, and directly tore open the abdomen with both hands, gouging out the heart.

These tall guys are a weapon in their own right. They never thought of giving in, and all the previous cooperation and "goodwill" were all disguises. The feud between the white man and the giant can never be resolved, and even if he dies, he will drag more white-skinned devils on the road with him.

Standing by the river, Flamar felt the cold like never before.

He remembered the giant captives who had died one after another under the siege of the soldiers.

None of them surrendered, which was exactly the same as how they had behaved on the battlefield before.

In order to break through the array of musketeers who had come to hear the news, the giants made a choice———— they worked in groups of two, with the front of them stretching their bodies to the extreme with their arms outstretched, so as to cover the advance of those behind. The dense bullets smashed the giants in the front row into honeycombs, but they could not penetrate the flesh and wounds of the followers behind them. They ran with the corpses, rushed into the soldiers like tigers, stabbed with knives, bit with their teeth, and desperately tore with their fingernails.

No brave warrior can face an entire army alone. However, their performance in the last moments of their lives frightened all white soldiers. The Land of Tigers...... This is how they describe their kingdom, and Framar truly feels ferocious and cruel like never before, they are indeed a group of beasts that are extremely fierce and can never admit defeat.

You must cross the river in front of you in order to enter the territory of the Tiger Country.

The giant captives of the rebellion said before: Across the river is the country of tigers, where there are very rich and large cities with a population of hundreds of thousands. One of the most prosperous capitals is called "Xuejiao City".

The capital is the essence of a country, and that means a lot of wealth.

Flamal ordered the construction of rafts from local materials, or the search for a suitable location to build a pontoon bridge.

He felt that the morale during this period was obviously not as good as before, and he was much lower, especially when many soldiers talked about the northern giants in private, they would have palpitations, and their faces couldn't help but show horror and fear.

There are two kinds of people in the world that cannot be provoked: madmen and idiots.

Because none of them are afraid of death.

Having said that, Vlamar did not stop the battle and entered the city, but ended everything here and led his army back to his own country.

It was not in the interests of the king and the nobles to do so.

Although the battle is difficult to fight, it still has to be fought.

Although the giants are fierce, they are a group of humanoid beasts with a low level of intelligence.

Flamal is confident he won't make a similar mistake again. He already has a clear orientation for the northern giants———— only giants who are firmly bound by chains, or who have died, are good giants. They must never be loosened from their shackles, they must always be treated as the most dangerous slaves, forbidden to reproduce, they can only stay in the darkest corners of the prison, and finally create the last value for their masters in the gladiatorial arena.

Looking across the riverbank, Flamar bowed slightly.

The country of tigers, I'm here.

……

Viking sappers built pontoon bridges with a variety of materials. Luckily for them, there were no trees nearby, but as they walked up the river, the scouts found what appeared to be a lumber processing plant, where large quantities of lumber were piled up, all thick planks.

Flamal sent a large number of sappers to build a pontoon bridge, while sending up to hundreds of scouts to cross the river in advance and reconnoiter along both sides of the riverbank. The Scout's report is consistent with the giant's previous description———— there is indeed a large area of arable land across the river, indicating a large human settlement nearby.

The Viking soldiers found improvised towers on the vantage points at both ends of the canyon, as well as fortifications of a certain size. There are no guardians here, everything is empty.

The giants of the north fled!

This is the conclusion that Flamar has reached after many investigations.

It's not that he is stubborn and self-serving, but that he has absolute confidence in the powerful combat effectiveness of "No. 6". A natural fortress like Chain Longguan can be easily conquered, let alone a mere canyon.

It's good not to see the "six". This means that they have gone far enough not to turn around and attack their own people because of what Bishop Somson calls "biological attraction". Flamal's only concern was that the "Six" was too strong in combat and devoured too many northern giants, resulting in few results in the next battle and not being able to capture prisoners.

The supply line behind him is very solid. Flamar attaches great importance to this, and he has to check on the logistics and transportation on a daily basis, and at the same time arrange special personnel to report the situation at each supply station. Judging from the current battle situation, as long as the two ends of the canyon are held, the food supply will not be a problem. After all, there are as many as millions of kingdom alliance troops gathered in Suolong Pass, and a large number of giants' food stocks have been captured. Although it tasted rough, it greatly eased the pressure on the food supply and operation of the Vikings.

The vanguard crossed the river smoothly, and the scouts reconnoitred within a radius of more than fifty kilometers, and did not find a large gathering of giant armies.

The first Viking troops to cross the river amounted to 100,000 men. They quickly set up a bridgehead on the other side of the river, and at the same time delivered heavy artillery and various defensive equipment as soon as possible. Flamal did not go too far into the "Land of Tigers", and the fortifications built on the other side of the river currently had two lines of defense. Flamal asked the sappers to strengthen the existing pontoon bridge as much as possible, while continuing to search for materials for the construction of a second new bridge.

If the northern giants suddenly appear, as long as the pontoon bridge is safe and sound, then this battle will still have to be fought.

The food that could be consumed by the vanguard for a week was transported across the river, and a large rock in Flamar's heart finally settled.

Confidence comes from the heavy artillery that has already been erected. It is divided into three groups, facing the north, west, and south directions. Upstream, in particular, Framar had forty cannons, and as soon as the giant fleet emerged from the north, the sentries on the watchtowers would immediately raise the alarm, and the defenses in this direction would be strengthened.

Or that pleasant word———— smooth.

300,000 Viking warriors crossed the Pantuo River and entered the fortifications they had previously built.

Together with the reinforcements that had just arrived from the Vikings, Flamal now had a staggering 800,000 troops under his control. Together with logistics and baggage transport personnel, the total number is more than 1.2 million.

Rear Scout Report: The Kingdom Coalition forces begin a large-scale sortie.

Duke Calis of the Rhine Kingdom attacked due north, and the army of the Kingdom of the Lord became his left flank, and the Marquis of Elken of the Plantagenet Kingdom marched steadily, building various fortifications along the way. Viscount Monio's vanguard was the fastest and had captured a giant city to the northeast. It is said that he received a large amount of booty and an enviable harvest.

The armies of the Saxon kingdom were the slowest, they lagged far behind. Flamar received information that this was due to a recent accident on the island of Seist, where a gunpowder warehouse exploded, resulting in heavy losses to the Saxon First Fleet. In order to restore the fleet to combat effectiveness as soon as possible, King George had to reduce the supplies that should have been supplied to the forward army and transfer them to the navy instead. The Saxon War Department was extremely dissatisfied with this, but with the intervention of the king, it could only face the reality helplessly.

Bishop Somsen led the Papal army in the center, marching about a day faster than the Saxon troops. The bishop remained cautious, which Flamal felt was largely due to Calis's attitude towards the Holy See. Somson was not worried about speed reducing the benefits of the war, after all, Duke Calis was a devout believer and would not act to the detriment of the Holy See.

Based on the current situation, the Duke of Vlamar finally gave the order for the whole army to cross the river.

His rear was safe, and all the giants were cleared.

……

About a kilometer from the canyon, a copper-black metal pipe quietly sticks out of the gap between several huge rocks stacked on top of each other.

It's a cleverly arranged hideaway.

Five years ago, on the orders of Pingjun, the Ministry of Intelligence infiltrated the Tiger Clan. For the sake of future warfare, this canyon passage connecting the tigers and lions became especially important. It is very close to the checkpoint set up by the Tiger Clan at the entrance of the canyon, and you can overlook all the movement on the Pantuo River from a high vantage point. According to the hydrological data surveyed at the time, the area was slow and suitable for the construction of bridges.

At that time, the Ministry of Intelligence listed this place as a key survey location. After careful reconnaissance and by chance, a cave was discovered two kilometers away. A tributary flows into the Pantuo River in the form of an underground river, and the deep cave leads to the intersection of the canyon and the top of the mountain, and more coincidentally, it forms a hollow inside the mountain, which happens to be a standard "L" shape.

The Dragon's Intelligence Department used the cave as a temporary warehouse, further widening the upper and lower passages to the top of the mountain. The outermost rock layer remains untouched, except for the use of pores in different directions, making it an extremely hidden observation post.

The front section of the telescope for intelligence officers is deeper than that of the regular model. This is to avoid the reflection of the lens and cause the other party to notice it.

Unbeknownst to Flamal was at the top of the hill not far away, where several giants were watching closely. They silently counted the numbers of soldiers, artillery, and baggage vehicles crossing the river, as well as the structure of the defensive positions and the deployment of troops.

The land belonged to the giants, who were very familiar with it. All the preparations made so far are for a more brilliant and complete victory in the future.

The Duke of Flamar rode his favorite horse, and accompanied by the guards, quickly crossed the pontoon bridge and set foot on the land on the other side of the river.

He habitually tugged at the reins, turned his horse's head, and glanced at where he had come. On the opposite bank are majestic mountain ridges and narrow passage entrances. The Duke subconsciously raised his gaze and looked at the top of the mountain in the distance, only to see that an unnamed bird suddenly flew there, which quickly turned into a black dot against the background of the hazy sky and disappeared into the far north.

"Bird...... Hey, hey, hey, I have that too. Flamar was in a good mood, and he was secretly making innocuous jokes in his heart.

The adjutant rode up to the front, handed over a secret document, and said respectfully, "My lord, this is the information that the scout has just sent. They found a giant city, but they couldn't be sure if it was the capital of the Tiger Country mentioned by the prisoners of war, "Learn to Capture". ”

Flamar nodded slightly, and he stretched out his right arm and pressed his hand down in a graceful motion.
