Chapter XXIV
Human territory, Southern Wilderness Hills. 【】
In the drizzly wilderness, an army of tens of thousands of human warriors is slowly advancing.
Half of this army was cavalry, and the remaining half were heavy infantry, obviously elite soldiers, but they looked lifeless and demoralized.
Angela rode slowly at the front of the line on the back of a heavily armored warhorse, and a town under construction came into view.
In the wilderness just ahead, more than 100,000 people are in full swing building a city, an acropolis far from the giant city.
Not far from these builders was a group of five thousand elite cavalry, monitoring all this.
Angela rode forward, and one of the same horsemen came out on horseback.
After the two met, they saluted at the same time, and Angela said in a humble voice: "Angela in the Principality of Poison Ivy, I don't know which one of your Excellency is from Swamp City?" His slightly gray hair was wet from the rain and stuck to his forehead, looking a little embarrassed.
The knight took off his helmet, showed the face of a middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the Marquis of Angela, in the Lower Marsh Duchy Aika, the Marquis of Angela is going to the camp of the expeditionary force to assemble?"
Angela also smiled and said, "Count Aika, it has been three years since the last farewell, how are you doing?" The Acropolis of Swamp City is being built very quickly. ”
The acropolis in front of me is now half-built, and it will soon be completed. And from the time God the Father issued the oracle of the second all-out war to now, it has only been more than 20 days, which can only be described as speed.
Count Aika smiled bitterly and said: "What a speed, this is built on the ruins of the original acropolis, and the foundation of the city wall is still there, so it is good to repair it directly, but the most time-consuming thing is to bury the hundreds of thousands of corpses in the city." When we first returned to the Acropolis, we thought we were back in hell, with chewed bones everywhere, and it was ......"
"I see...... "Angela looked solemn. After the oracle of the second all-out war issued by the Father, the entire human territory became boiling, and the Sky Holy City also issued an order that all the Black Iron Generals must continue to build acropolis, and at the same time, each Silver King City must gather a large expeditionary force of one million people, ready to march into the depths of the giant territory, practice the oracle, to crusade against those greedy and cruel giants, and defend the dignity of mankind.
In the last all-out war, the seventy-two acropolis built by the entire human territory, except for the legendary Falling Snow City, all the other acropolis were breached by giants, and millions of people were killed. Therefore, when many giant cities rebuild their acropolis, they rebuild directly on the original ruins.
What Aika did was lead the warriors and laborers to rebuild the Acropolis of the swampy metropolis.
He took a deep breath, looked into the distance that had become indistinct in the light rain, and said, "I hope that God will continue to bless us and continue the glory of mankind." Perhaps, God of the Father can really lead mankind to kill all the giants this time and make this world a better place......"
"I hope so, but it's going to be another bloody storm, and I don't know if you and I will survive. Angela smiled bitterly again, "Now the expeditionary force camp should have gathered nearly a million elite soldiers, and it is the most elite force in our Blood Banner King City, and it should be able to give the giants a blow and regain the lost territory." ”
"Absolutely!" Aika said with a vigorous nod.
However, although they said so, as high-level nobles, they understood that the strength of human beings could not be compared with giants at this time, and the last all-out war directly triggered the giant frenzy, and under the impact of the giant frenzy, several giant cities were directly destroyed, and tens of millions of people died. This time, the second all-out war, it seems to be a moth to a fire.
These expeditionary forces are completely going to die!
Although the oracle can make the believers fanatical, their calm high-ranking generals understand that this is a certain death. It's just that they had to obey this order. And, though they thought it was impossible, there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts in case God was really ready to lead them back to the glory of humanity......
"To be honest, it is really admirable that Falling Snow City has been able to survive the giant frenzy and have repelled so many giant crowd attacks. Aika said. The last time the Acropolis of the Swamp Giant City was breached by giants, he was a general in the Acropolis, and finally survived by desperately fighting his way out, so he naturally understood how terrible the attack of the giant crowd was.
"That's right, speaking of which, I saw another image of the Snow Fortress when it left human territory, it was really shocking, and I didn't see the slightest intention of the Bone King to betray the human race, is it ......" Angela sighed.
At this moment, Aika suddenly frowned and said to herself, "What is that?"
"What's wrong, Count Aika?" asked Angela, raising an eyebrow as she followed Aika's gaze.
I saw that in the distance blocked by the rain curtain, some dark shadows seemed to appear, but I couldn't see what it was for a while.
At this moment, they suddenly felt some slight vibrations on the ground, and at the same time, the war horses under them also seemed a little restless.
And the dark shadow in the rain curtain was finally able to see a little bit of the outline.
With a height of tens of meters, a black body, and heavy steps, every step is like the earth shaking, and at the same time, it shows a greedy look because of the taste of human beings.
"It's a giant!"
Immediately afterwards, more huge figures appeared in the field of vision, and as far as the eye could see, the field of vision of more than ten kilometers was full of giants, and they were rapidly rushing towards the acropolis that was being built!
"The giants are coming!Prepare to fight!" Aika roared, and instantly drew his long sword, and his whole body was lit up with a raging black fighting aura.
Angela on the side also agitated the black iron fighting spirit in her body, and shouted loudly: "Poison Ivy Army, defensive formation, enter the acropolis in front, and help the friendly forces of the Swamp Principality defend the city!
In the half-built Acropolis, drums and bells rumbled, and a large number of craftsmen and soldiers rushed into the Acropolis, ready for the onslaught of the giants.
At this time, more and more giants appeared in the field of vision, as if they were emerging from the rain, and the huge bodies looked extremely terrifying.
"Damn, why do the giants attack on a rainy day?Aren't those mud giants and sand giants afraid of death!?" Aika sprinted to the bottom of the city, jumped onto the top of the city, and scolded as the giants appeared in front of him. The giants he saw alone were tens of thousands!
"It doesn't matter, it's just ...... The expeditionary force camp has now gathered more than 500,000 people, and if the giants come here, they must pass through the expeditionary force camp first, which is simply impossible! The expeditionary force will not let them pass, and even if the giants attack, they should come to report!" Angela said in a trembling voice. In the rain curtain, there are still giants appearing, and at this time there are as many as seventy or eighty thousand!
"Unless...... Angela felt chills all over, "they're all dead......
