Chapter 148: Giant City
According to the general's memory, the giants' stronghold was located at the foot of the Rio Grande Mountains in the north, and they relied on natural defensive offensives to advance and retreat.
There should be more than one such stronghold, after all, the northern border is wide, and the giant may make several strongholds to store and transport supplies.
The journey was a long way, and it would take them 10 days to get there, no matter how fast the soldiers were.
On the way, Su Ming brought Harpo a staff, which was obtained by carving an inscription on a redeemer.
The Fireball Technique is also available, and this simple skill is available in the exchange shop.
Because he didn't have magic mastery and elemental mastery, Harbo's skills were pitifully weak, so he lit a campfire on the way.
Su Ming has been in contact with the elf girl very frequently these days, of course, he is not greedy for other people's bodies.
He is very interested in the elf girl's wings, and Su Ming is trying to develop the ability to fly through her wings.
Elf Girl's wings resemble a dragonfly, an insect. Her four wings are through the forewings and hindwings, oscillating in individual movements, and the two pairs of wings vibrate up and down at different rates.
This is exactly the same as the flight pattern of a dragonfly, Su Ming's barrier has tried to condense into a bird's wings, but the energy wings are too large, and the incitement is very slow.
He tossed on the ground for a long time and didn't fly, but then he saw the wings of the elf girl, and he had a new idea.
Through the shape of this four-leaf wing, the elf girl can quickly make various flight movements, forward, stop, backward, and rotate, which is more flexible than the wings of birds.
Now that his spiritual power is strong, it is not difficult for Su Ming to condense the four-leaf transparent energy wings.
The difficulty of this type of wing lies in the frequency and speed of agitation, and although the leaf wings are smaller, the method of incitement is also more complex.
After pondering for a week, Su Ming let his brain form an instinctive memory, and he can barely fly now, but the speed is very slow.
As soon as the speed and frequency of the wings' agitation were accelerated, the spiritual power could not keep up with the energy control, and Su Ming would fall from the sky.
The elf girl controls her wings through the muscles of her body, while Su Ming completely controls the energy.
This ability also requires stronger mental control, and the meaning of Senluo is being reflected little by little.
The elf girl's name is Tang Yuan, and she is from the same earth as Su Ming. The contact between the two was naturally not so resistant, and after Su Ming promised to portray two pieces of equipment for her for free, Tang Yuan immediately agreed to instruct Su Ming's flying ability.
On the eighth day of everyone's action, Tang Yuan saw a team of giants walking in the distance.
The giants had apparently just returned from plunder, and they were slowly advancing through the wilderness with a string of humans.
These giants carry a long line of grain carts stacked with bulging grain bags.
"How do you say, do you kill these giants, or let them go?" Everyone got the information of the elf sister and discussed.
"There's no reason to let the meat in your mouth go."
"Agreed."
"It's just that we have to make sure we don't startle the snakes, in case we run a few giants, our actions will be exposed." The professor worries that things will come to light.
"This group of giants is also going to the stronghold over there, and by killing them, we can slow down the pressure of the next attack."
"The old way, seduce it." Lu Jiao and the others are familiar with the road, and they are very experienced in dealing with these Hanhan.
A group of redeemers pretending to pass by the wilderness, shouting and fleeing when they see the giants, but anyone with a little intelligence can see the flamboyant acting skills of this group.
But the giant believed it, and a group of Hanhan were excited to see dozens of humans who "fled in panic", and this kind of extra gift is rare.
The dead grass of the wilderness is overgrown, and a group of redeemers seduce a dozen giants running over in the grass.
A group of giants who entered the ambush were still chasing with their lives, and most of the captured humans had to be turned in, and if there were not enough of them, the ruthless commander would make them remember for a long time.
As a group of redeemers ran past the markers, dozens of giants behind them stepped on top of the marked traps.
"Poof!"
A nest of giants fell into a trap made by the earth mage like dumplings, and the redeemer next to him ran out happily and attacked the giants in the pit.
The fire mage's skills burned the giants and howled wolves, and everyone killed more than thirty giants with zero loss.
When the second batch of redeemers pretended to meet the giants again, these fools jumped up with joy, is there such a good thing?
"I want the fat one, the meat must have a lot of oil and water!"
"I want that female, the female tastes tender!"
There were at least a hundred or so giants, chasing the redeemers in the wilderness, and the giants did not expect this to be a trap, and in their understanding, it was impossible for humans to resist them.
The giants opened their mouths in excitement, getting closer and closer to this group of redeemers.
The great thing about this kind of trap made by the earth mage is that there are no traces, and he can control the thick covering layer on the top of the trap to hollow out the space underneath.
It's okay for humans to walk up, but it's different for this group of giants to come up.
The ten-meter-deep and five-meter-wide traps were lined up one by one, and as soon as the giants landed on their front feet, the teammates behind them immediately followed.
Some of the reacting giants had just stopped, and were pushed down by their companions behind them.
About half of the giants fell into the pit, and the remaining giants were still puzzled when they saw the pit on the ground, and Su Ming and the others had already killed from the side.
These first-order giants were set on fire by various restrictions and control skills, and a large group of melee people rushed into the giant pile, and in just a few minutes, the giants were all turned into corpses.
This method had slaughtered half of the giant team before they realized something was wrong. sweet potato
Go to a team of giants and disappear a team, and the giants will find out that something is wrong no matter how stupid they are.
When a group of soldiers surrounded them, the group roared angrily.
"Ground Sinking!"
As the earth mage unleashed his skills, several giants suddenly fell into the pit.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
The long-range fire shattered the giant's face and scattered the flesh and bones, scattering the blood. The sound of gunfire woke up creatures for kilometers around.
The group of second-order leaders rushed forward first, and there were still about 400 of these giants left.
To say that the happiest people present were not the redeemers, but the group of humans who were captured by the giants.
Seeing that someone had come to their rescue, they fled in all directions, but unfortunately the captives were tied up in a string of ropes and dragged down by others after running a few steps.
With the help of second-order thugs, the first-order redeemer is much less stressed. The mage's tongue of fire licked at the giants, and the melee men at their feet brought them down one by one.
Long Yuan's blade easily slashed the giant's legs and wrists, and the two Wusen blades cut and rotated in the crowd, and after breaking through lv3 in swordsmanship, his control over the weapon became stronger.
There was a large team leader giant surrounded by Green Jiao and the others, and his attributes were not far ahead of the second order.
Green Jiao's iron spear held the blunt sword that was chopping, and although it was a little difficult, it didn't have much pressure.
"Unleash your rage!"
"Divine blessing!"
"Malicious Rant!"
Daddy came with three buffs to increase status in one go, which are 13% attack damage, 13% defense and 13% attack speed.
Su Ming now slashed this group of giants like cutting ham, and with the damage bonus of the giant catcher, his dragon yuan and cave void were unimaginably sharp.
After cutting down a giant's leg, Su Ming jumped on his back and beheaded him with a knife.
The giants on the field were overwhelmed by the waves of soldiers, and the soldiers could bring down a group of giants just by moving their legs.
These giants didn't score enough points in the end, and the giant giant leader was roasted alive by a second-order mage.
The mage's skill ignited the nearby barren grass, and the remaining giants fled for their lives in all directions.
"Poof!"
In the stealth scope, the neck of a giant blooms, and the fleeing giants are killed one by one by the rangers.
The elf girl watched from above, and no giant could escape her sight.
Her bow and arrow occasionally hit a giant, and the attached poison swelled the giant's poisonous face in a few seconds, and then he died.
After the last giant fell to the ground, the crowd wiped out the giants with 20 redeemers and about 1,000 soldiers.
The generals told the surviving human captives to return with food carts, and they did not starve to death on the way if they had food.
"Thank you! Thank you, adults! "A group of captives wept tears and snot, and they had no hope of being caught by the giants.
"We'll have to speed up, there could be more and more giants nearby." The professor looked at the water mage who was extinguishing the fire around and said.
They carried seven or eight thousand soldiers, and it was a little difficult for this force to get silently close to the giant's stronghold.
Fortunately, there is a long-range flight like the elf girl, and she has a skill to increase the sight distance, and the elf girl can see the things in the surrounding dozens of miles clearly.
After the ninth day, everyone went out by day and night, and sure enough, there was an intermittent team of giants around to gather here.
It's risky to do it rashly now, the movement of the fire mage and the gun is too big, and it won't attract the attention of the surrounding giants.
The closer you get to the Rio Grande, the more desolate the climate becomes, and the giants have not adapted to the warm and hot climate, their ancestors have lived in the bitter cold all year round, and their sweat glands have degenerated.
The giants lived in a lukewarm climate at the foot of the mountains, where they built their cities, and the kingdom grew stronger over time.
On the evening of the tenth day, the people saw the giant city in the distance across the hill.
By scale, the giants' structures are generally estimated to be thirty or fifty meters high.
In just the past few days, there are 3 giant teams they have encountered, and from the area of the city in front of them, it is estimated that there are at least 10,000 giants inside.
"The giants we met should have come back in advance, I propose to go to the city to find out the information, I can't figure out the number, and we'll be finished with 18,000 giants." The professor consulted with the captains of more than a dozen teams.
Su Ming and Elf Sister were the first to be elected, and both of them could fly. Two stealthy assassins were sent out of the second-order team, and four people formed a reconnaissance team.
This kind of thing is not the more people the better, the four of them all have the ability to escape in distress, and it is appropriate to go in and investigate.
The Giant City was staggering in size even from a distance, and the four of them reached the edge of the city just as night was approaching.
The giants symbolized a five- or six-meter-high wall on the outskirts of the city. Most of their buildings are made of stones, which look majestic and tall from afar, but rough and rudimentary up close.
There were no sentinels outside, and in the giant's mind, those who dared to make trouble went into their stomachs.
The four of them entered easily from the outer wall, and as soon as they landed, they smelled a foul smell, these giants had no concept of hygiene at all, and there was feces everywhere nearby.
Tang Yuan scanned the surrounding situation in the sky, the surrounding houses were all simple sloping roofs, and the light of bonfires could be seen in the cracks of some stone houses.
Su Ming sensed the number of giants in the stone house by the rhythm of his breath, there were about 50 people in each of these buildings on average, and they were boiling a large pot of grain in the house, some of which had iron pots and human limbs.
