Chapter 348: Giants
A year later, on top of the forty-battle high wall, stood a young man, looking into the distance, waiting for his enemies, and beside him stood the mighty men of all Catlea.
"Are you sure we will be able to retreat from the enemy in this battle?" One person was a little puzzled when he saw that the young man did not move.
"I'm not sure, but I know that as long as this battle is not won, then Catlea is finished. After all, it seems that we don't have any walls anymore other than here. The boy didn't answer him directly, but still looked into the distance.
"Yes, the work on this high wall is too big. Not only is it thicker than an ordinary wall, but it is also taller than an ordinary wall. It took us a year to get to where we had gathered the craftsmen of most of the country, and we couldn't afford to build a wall like this. Yinhu saw that Zhao Yulong was standing on a high place and didn't come down for a long time, and now he also followed up the city wall.
"But without such walls, we can't stop the giants from attacking. While speaking, Jingrui also stood on the edge of the city wall and looked into the distance, and from this position he could see the scenery that he could not usually see.
"Yes, so we must ensure that this battle is won, and we must kill all the invading giants, otherwise their existence will always be a threat. To be honest, it was the first time I had seen the whole world from such a height, and the world was so beautiful. With that, Zhao Yulong sat down on the spot, his feet hanging in the air.
"One victory, it's easier said than done. You're Oriental, so it's not surprising that you don't know. But for those of us who know giants, these giants are definitely not very easy to deal with. ”
Saying that, Yinhu sat down together, and only after sitting firmly did he continue: "When I was a child, I often heard about countries that were destroyed by giants, and those giants did not send much. Do you know? One of the most terrifying giants in the history books, he was not afraid when he faced a mercenary group of 100,000 people, and in the end not only did not die, but also killed the entire mercenary group, with their strength, it is definitely not something we can face. ”
"100,000 people, is it a lot? If it were ordinary people, I would be able to kill even one of the Burning Sky Flames. You should understand that the giants are strong, but we are not weak either, and since they are coming, we will let them have no return. Saying that, Zhao Yulong clenched his fists.
Although he didn't know how a fly could fly from such a high place, the fly could no longer fly at this time. He spread out his hand and flicked the fly that had been pinched to death in his hand: "Look at it. ”
"No, you don't know, those giants aren't flies. You may be strong, but you're just one person after all, and those giants have an army!"
"The army, that's just a hundred giants! There is a big difference between pinching a hundred ants to death and pinching one ant to death, no!" Zhao Yulong stood up as he spoke, jumped off the high platform, and landed on the aisle of the city wall at an ordinary height.
"But they're not ants. ”
"But they can't send a few hundred people, can they? After all, there are not many subspecies of giants, and their reproductive ability is very poor, even if they are strong. But there are only a few dozen people in a giant clan, and if they still have a unified plan back then, they may be able to gather together to form a very powerful army. But the corpse of the giant emperor has long since decayed, they have no ruler, and the country has been divided into clans. How many people do you think a clan can send?
"Do you know this?" As he spoke, Yinhu looked at Zhao Yulong with a surprised look.
"Why don't you know these things? You must know that the Giant Clan made a lot of contributions to sweep away the Martial Emperor back then. In the last war, they were almost all in their prime, but none of them, including their emperor, survived. Fortunately, they did not have the principle of the old and weak to participate in the war, otherwise they would have been exterminated at that time. But now, even if they are not exterminated, they are on the verge of extinction. So as the remnants of the giant race, they don't want their race to disappear into the world. ”
"Yes, Emperor Wu, that's really a terrifying person, remember you used to say that you had something to do with him. Now it seems that this is the case, after all, you are sometimes scary. A lot has happened to you, and you have experienced a lot, but you have solved it. Maybe you're the next Martial Emperor, I should believe you. ”
"It's great that you can believe me, but I'm not Emperor Wu, although I have a lot in common with him, but I'm not him after all, I can only be myself, and I'm Zhao Yulong. As he spoke, Zhao Yulong had already helped Yinhu to walk steadily to the aisle.
"Yes, you are very similar, even the names are so similar, I remember that Emperor Wu seems to be called Zhao Yu, and you are called Zhao Yulong, you have one more dragon character than him. ”
"Maybe! But in fact, my name was taken according to Emperor Wu, maybe in the eyes of the beast clan, the name and the character are counted as one! I was raised by the beast clan, so they gave me this name. It was only after I really came into contact with the Heavenly Clan that I realized that Emperor Wu's name was Zhao Yu, and that dragon was just his character, but because his jade seal had the three words Zhao Yulong written on it, I called it this name. But now I guess it's not time for us to talk about that, and here they are!"
As he spoke, Zhao Yulong had already pulled out the saber at his waist. Although a saber of this size seemed useless against a giant's body, it was more reassuring to pull it out than to remain in its scabbard.
"Who? yes, they, so how are we going to fight now?" As he spoke, Yinhu also saw the big men in the distance who were slowly approaching this way.
That's really a group of tall guys, originally Yinhu thought that the city wall was high. At this time, it was understood that this wall was really not tall compared to their size.
After all, all of those giants are ten feet high, plus the arms are about fifteen battles, if it is an ordinary city wall, it is estimated that the hand can reach it with one jump. Such a huge wall is very necessary, otherwise if everyone else can climb it, then how can this battle be fought?
However, Zhao Yulong's previous guess was really accurate, although the necromancer said that it was the main force. But what I saw in front of me was only a dozen giants. It's just that these dozen or so giants are also terrifying, especially some of the lords, whose feet are already trembling when they look at them from afar.
"How can this be fought? According to their size, ordinary arrows will not hurt them in the slightest. Looking at the shaking earth, Jing Rui, who was originally relatively relaxed, also became nervous.
"Ordinary arrows can't hurt them, but catapults and ballistas don't. Don't forget that I asked those forgers to build a lot of these weapons, which were originally used to deal with the undead, but now they are not bad against giants, Huyun, put the weapons in your ring on the table!"
"Yes!" Hu Yun was so positive, that is, he acted after the words fell. In less than a few moments, I saw that there were a lot of catapults added to the wall.
These catapults are also huge, at least about five feet high, and their length is not weak. According to this size, the ordinary city wall naturally cannot be placed, but this city wall is thick enough, so this aisle is wide enough, and now that the catapult has been put down, there is still a lot of room to move.
"Catapults, there is such a thing. Brother, you are so unkind that you didn't even tell me in advance. But it's nothing to take it out now. As she spoke, Silver Amber looked at the catapults and ballistas.
These are indeed a bunch of good things, and the worst quality of them is also in the middle of the white rank, and most of them are high-level white rank, and occasionally there are some weapons in the yellow rank. Of course, the most powerful one is the high-level catapult built by the dwarf, the Yellow Order.
Such a rank is nothing if placed in ordinary weapons, but it is a little terrifying in front of a weapon of mass destruction like catapults. Especially after the Yellow Order, that power is definitely not weaker than some large magic circles.
Those circles still need a long time to cast, but this catapult doesn't need it at all, they just need enough ammo. And these ammunition, Zhao Yulong is not lacking them.
After all, the Baria region is rich in magic guide stones, and the ammunition made of these magic guide stones is naturally even more terrifying. After all, in the face of such a weapon, such an addition will definitely not be as simple as one plus one.
The ballistas weren't simple, even though the dwarven craftsman hadn't made them. However, the Ballista is easier to build than the Catapult, so the level of crafting is higher.
Nowadays, the worst is also the high-level of the white order, and the low-level of the yellow level is a large area. It's a pity that there is no Yellow Rank advanced, but this is not bad. Moreover, the ballista dispenses and changes ammunition faster than the catapult.
Of course, Zhao Yulong would not be stupid enough to use ordinary wooden stakes as arrows. Because that would be insignificant to the heavy armor of these giants, and even if they didn't wear armor, the thick skin alone could block it.
Therefore, Zhao Yulong directly used the kind of metal abundant in Minglong's fiefdom to create these arrows, which was really a lot of consumption. But so what, anyway, Zhao Yulong doesn't lack these things, so Zhao Yulong doesn't have much heartache when he makes it now.
However, the weight of these arrows is quite unexpected, after all, it is the metal that is usually used for armor and weapons. Now, when this huge arrow as large as a tree stump was made, dozens of soldiers could not lift it, but fortunately, these generals had rings, and when they put the arrows on it, they only had to open the rings, otherwise it would be a real trouble to carry them.
"Everything is ready, Brother Long, when are you ready to fight?" Hu Yun's efficiency was not bad, but in just a few moments, such a long city wall had already been run by him. And the hundreds of large weapons have now appeared on the city wall without falling.
Zhao Yulong looked at Hu Yun and nodded, and then continued to look into the distance: "Well! But don't rush now, they haven't come close yet, wait for them to get closer and fight. ”
"Okay, then now I'll go down and get them ready. With that, Hu Yun was about to run away.
But Zhao Yulong stopped him: "Wait, you go over and talk to Yang Zheng and them, and tell them to prepare the magic circle immediately, preferably the kind of magic that they can withstand to the limit, in short, the stronger the better, but the premise is that they have the ability to cast it!"
"Understood!" Hu Yun nodded and ran towards the other end of the city wall.
The walls were built enormously, and the natural front was lengthened. Therefore, although they are all on the city wall now, what Zhao Yulong said may not be able to spread to the other side, so now he has to rely on Huyun to spread the word.
Although the sound transmission technique is also good, it is a pity that Yang Zheng can't, and he can only communicate unilaterally on his side. If Yang Zheng wanted to say something, someone still had to come and ask, so it was good to let Meng Liang run errands at this time.
At least in Zhao Yulong's opinion, this guy has nothing to do, and he should run to exercise his physical fitness and polish his time.
A few more moments later, as the ground shook more and more intensely, and the giants got closer and closer. At this time, everyone present, including Zhao Yulong, held their breath, waiting for the next moment to appear.
Yes, almost everyone is waiting for Zhao Yulong's order. The ammunition of the catapult had already been loaded, and the arrows on the ballista had also been loaded, and now there was only one order left to send out, and that order could only be given by Zhao Yulong.
At this time, Zhao Yulong was also waiting, but what he was waiting for was naturally not anyone's order, what he was waiting for was distance. Yes, although this distance looks good, it is still a little worse, although there is a lot of ammunition, but it is not endless, he has to save it for later.
Therefore, he would not take any risks until he was absolutely sure, otherwise the waste of ammunition would be a lot of money. In this way, there is only one sentence in his heart, a little closer, a little closer.
It's as if time has stopped, and everyone present feels that time is slow, slow. It was as if every time the giant landed would be separated for a long, long time.
But the voice was shocking, yes, not loud, but it struck at the hearts of everyone present. Even their heartbeats were in sync with the footsteps of the giants, and every time the giants landed, their hearts would skip a beat.
But it was all broken after all, it was not a loud command, but it was clear, and everyone present could hear the voice: "Release!"
Yes, it's just a word, but it's powerful. He had gathered almost all the strength and fear of the soldiers who controlled the catapult, and he represented Catalea's resolute attitude towards these foreign enemies.
Although the voice is not loud, it is so strong and powerful. It was to see the boulders and the huge arrows flying out of the city, and they were all over the world, and at a certain time and at a certain angle, they blocked the light of the sun.
Yes, not even the heavens can change this downpour-like attack. These attacks carry not only the strength of the soldiers, but also the death of the invading enemies.
And at this time, the giants who were really moving slowly also discovered these things. At first, they didn't see it clearly, they were just a little curious, but after seeing it clearly, they panicked.
Yes, these tall and mighty nightmarish giants were also afraid, and to the delight of the soldiers.
Of course, all this is thanks to their commander, because all these ideas were all thought up by Zhao Yulong.
But for Zhao Yulong, what he wants to do is definitely not just to make these giants afraid. After all, scaring people is just what the clown does, and what he wants to do is really swap the predator and the prey.
So these fears are just the beginning, but they alone are a bit difficult for these giants to deal with. Because their bloodline is already scarce, they are naturally unwilling to die so early.
In addition, its system is a clan system, and there is no unified state apparatus and no strong management capacity. So now when faced with such a situation, they are scattered, and almost all the giants only care about their own life and death, and as for the others, let them die if they want to die!
But even with this mentality, it didn't have much effect. Because when the overwhelming weapons are brought down, there are only a few giants who can dodge.
Their huge size gives them a lot of benefits and also a lot of advantages. But the world is always changing, and the advantage is only temporary, and they can't achieve the advantage forever. As now, their sheer size makes it impossible for them to find shelter, so they become live targets.
By the time they landed with the first batch of ammunition, most of the giants were dead. The rest of the living ones were more or less injured, and as for the ones that were not injured, there were almost only one or two.
But just because they're alive doesn't mean they'll survive, at least there's a lot of ammunition to do. Although the first batch has landed, now the second batch of ammunition has also been loaded, and it is only necessary for Zhao Yulong to launch it again.
After three rounds of this, there was still a lot of ammunition left, but the giants had no one to stand up.
To be honest, Zhao Yulong was also surprised to see such a situation. Of course, he didn't overestimate these giants, but he muttered too much about the power of the magic guide stone.
Especially this kind of magic guide stone that is about the same size as themselves, they not only hurt when they hit their bodies, but when they hit it, they will also burst out with a kind of energy.
It was a powerful force that even the skin of a giant could not resist. At least Zhao Yulong saw a lot of people who were smashed by the magic guide stone, and that picture, it is estimated that Zhao Yulong will feel that he can't eat when he thinks about it when he eats in the future! But no matter what, they are finally dead now.
