The battle in the Highland Collection came to an end when it was dark, and the barbarians entrenched in the ruins were slaughtered by the Thunder Beast warriors, and only a few cavalry escaped.

However, the rangers led by Rose are waiting on the periphery, and unless they have wings, they will not be able to escape the leopard scouts.

The Battle of Hailanji was the first real battle since the Thunderbeast Brigade entered the Arctic Ice Field, and what impressed Leon was not only the first Frost Giant War Puppet, but also the bravery of the barbarian warriors.

The spirit of battle seemed to be in the blood of every barbarian, and after the Frost Giants were struck down by Leon and the frontal line was breached, the remnants of the barbarians retreated into the ruins, using their familiarity with the environment and the Thunderbeast warriors to engage in the most brutal street battles.

There were no samurai, no mages, no elite mercenaries of the Terrans, desperately resisted with tomahawks and maces, and some of them had their hands and feet cut off, and they would never give up surrender if they continued to bite with their mouths.

Although the Thunderbeast warriors were well-equipped and led by four samurai, including Leon and Rock Hammer, they still paid the price of dozens of casualties in the battle to clear the remnants of the enemy, and seven of them remained in this strange snow forever.

All seven fighters were new recruits, and their lack of experience allowed them to make irreparable mistakes in melee combat.

Although the losses were not large, and the wounded warriors were basically recovered after the shaman's treatment, Leon was still quite annoyed, and ordered all the enemy captives and wounded who had lost their ability to resist to be killed, leaving only two alive for questioning.

War has always been so cruel that there is no room for the slightest mercy.

After all the remnants of the enemy were cleared, Leon ordered the clean-up of Hailanji, and the corpses of the barbarian warriors were cut off from their ears and stripped of their leather armor and buried in a unified manner, eliminating all obvious traces of battle and preparing for the next move.

Finally, he also held a simple but solemn funeral for the fallen soldiers.

As Leon had previously obtained, Hailanji was a supply transport transit point set up by the barbarian army for the defenders of Valen, and stationed 400 warriors there, including 100 cavalry.

No Terran mercenaries were willing to taste the Ice and Snow Storm of the Far North in the harsh ruins, so the Barbarian army hierarchy sent a Frost Giant to bolster the defenses of Hyland.

The Thunderbeast warriors found a large amount of food, forage, and leather armor weapons in the warehouses inside the ruins.

The information obtained from the captives indicated that a convoy had passed through Hailanji and had arrived in Valen four days earlier, and that another convoy was to arrive the day after tomorrow, as was customary.

The raging storms of the Arctic Ice Fields made it very difficult to transport supplies, and the consumption of tens of thousands of troops in Valen City was a staggering number every day, and in order to meet the needs of the defenders, the baggage convoys were transported at short intervals.

After figuring out the general situation, Leon personally wrote a letter and used the green falcon to report the situation to the third war group in the rear in a timely manner.

Night fell silently.

On this starless night, the dark ice fields were empty and cold, except for the howling north wind faintly bringing the roar of unknown beasts.

A little fire was lit in the Hyland Collection, a bonfire set up by the Thunderbeast warriors, and thanks to the large amount of supplies prepared by the barbarians at this transit point, they could cook a fragrant, hot meal with dry wood, iron pots, and jerky.

It was the most decent dinner they'd had in days.

Only the scouts are still roaming around the periphery, and in this dangerous place, they can never lose their vigilance.

Leon sat on the thick animal wool blanket, took a small bowl of bone china and drank it in a big gulp, the hot meat juice carried the tangy fragrance into his stomach, and his hungry stomach suddenly relaxed, and it was very comfortable.

The broth was also mixed with a little spice, which made him even more appetizing, and Rose, who was sitting next to him, was just in time to deliver a golden roasted leg of lamb.

Devouring a whole delicious leg of lamb with a belt bone, Leon's appetite was satisfied for the most part.

Watching her beloved finish the food she had baked with her own hands, a smile of joy appeared on Rose's face, no matter how strong she was, she was always a woman.

"Don't go on patrol at night, take a good rest, you've suffered with me all this time!" Leon said softly.

From Sal to the Far North Ice Field, Rose followed him all the way through thousands of mountains and rivers, and the girl's beautiful face was a little more weathered, and the rapid march in the snow and today's battle made her a little haggard.

"I'm fine, as long as I can follow you, I'm willing to suffer no matter how much I suffer. Rose leaned gently into Leon's arms, closed her eyes and sniffed at the familiar breath, and said quietly, "I only hope that this war will end sooner." ”

"It won't be too far," Leon hugged her, his heart swelling with warmth.

On this cold winter night, there is nothing warmer than having a loved one by your side.

Beside the small campfire, the warmth of the veins is flowing silently.

It's a pity that such a beautiful atmosphere was quickly broken.

"Boss, come and see, we've dragged this big guy back!" came the rough voice of the rock hammer not far away.

Leon and Rose looked at each other and smiled, and they both stood up together.

"Let's go and have a look!"

The big guy dragged back by the rock hammer was none other than the Frost Giant who had been knocked down by Leon.

The war puppet, which was more than 20 feet tall, collapsed to the ground like an irregular mound, and the rock hammer used more than 50 warriors to drag it from the outside to the edge of the ruins of Hailanji with the help of ropes and other tools.

This big guy who doesn't know how many tens of thousands of pounds weighs is too conspicuous, and it is very easy to be found when it is left outside, but it is extremely difficult to move it back into the ruins, so it can only be put here temporarily.

Several warriors held torches aloft to illuminate the surrounding snow, and Leon walked around the Frost Giant, only to find that the ice armor on its neck that had been slashed by itself had been restored to its original shape, and it was not visible from the slightest sign that it had been broken more than a foot deep.

The self-healing ability of this war golem is really amazing, considering that its controller is dead, which is obviously the ability of the puppet structure itself.

So the frost giant can be said to have fallen into Leon's hands without any damage.

However, this does not mean that Leon can use it to fight for himself, so the Frost Giant is a weapon of war unique to the Barbarians, and its most special feature is that it can only be controlled by the Giant Barbarians.

There are three levels of Frost Giant War Golems: Silver, Blue, and Crown, and this is the most common type of Silver, which is more common among barbarian armies.

The war between Beamon and the barbarians lasted for hundreds of years, and there were not a few frost giants captured by the kingdom in the war, some of which were relatively intact, and the kingdom did not study and imitate this kind of war puppet, but at most it could only produce some ordinary giant puppets that were not very useful.

And the Terrans, who have barbarians as their subordinate races, are also unable to master this unique skill, and no one can control the Frost Giants.

Therefore, even if the frost giant was intact, it would be of no value to Leon, and it was only necessary to destroy it completely before it fell back into the hands of the barbarians.

But if it is cut to pieces and annihilated like this, Leon also feels a little unwilling, and feels that it is completely tyrannical, but he has personally understood the power of this war puppet.

"Turn it over!" Leon ordered.

He wanted to see if he could open the puppet and see what kind of wonderful structure it was, so that he could learn more about it even if he couldn't use it.

The battle of the Thunderbeast Brigade on the Arctic Ice Sheet has just begun, and there will definitely be barbarian war puppets in the future, and maybe even more powerful frost giants.

So for Leon, it is very necessary to strengthen the understanding of the frost giants.

With the combined efforts of Rock Hammer and the other warriors, the Frost Giant was flipped over and lay face up and fell to the ground.

Even if it was completely lying on the ground, the war puppet was more than a man tall.

Leon had one of the guards follow him with a torch raised, carefully observing it from head to toe, and since the giant barbarian was able to enter the inside of the war golem, there must be a way to open the thick layer of ice armor outside.

The Frost Giant's outer armor structure wasn't complicated, so Leon quickly saw the clue.

"Rock Hammer, you can help me push and see!" Leon beckoned Rock Hammer over.

The two of them stood on either side of the Frost Giant, one left and one right, holding down the underside of its breastplate and pushing forward together.

Leon and Rock Hammer were both power-type warriors, and the two of them could push even a 10,000-pound boulder with a combined force, and the huge frost breastplate immediately made a tooth-aching sound and pushed it in the direction of the head for a full five or six feet.

Sure enough, Leon laughed, pressed one hand on the edge of the ice armor and jumped up.

The interior of the war puppet was immediately unabashedly undisguised before his eyes.

Inside the Frost Giant's body is a recessed space in the shape of a human, and the corpse of a muscular barbarian happens to be embedded in it.

The appearance of this barbarian is not much different from that of ordinary barbarians, his whole body is almost **, only his lower body is wrapped in sackcloth, his face is pale, his eyes are closed, and his face is smeared with colorful paint.

Most of the bare skull was blown away, and the brains were mixed with blood and splattered everywhere, which was disgusting to watch.

He was also extremely unlucky, he was blindly shot by Leon's goblin fire and died miserably.

"This is the giant barbarian, doesn't it look good?" Rock Hammer jumped up from the other side, shook his head when he saw the corpse inside, and said, "I really don't know how he controlled this big guy." ”

I'm afraid this question is a question for many people.
