Chapter 222: Frost Giant
Although the Extreme Northern Barbarians could not possess samurai and legal professions due to their physical talents, they were able to fight with the Beamon Kingdom in the north for hundreds of years, and they did not rely entirely on the support of the Terran forces.
The Frost Giants are the weapons of war that the Barbarians are proud of. Its role on the battlefield is comparable to that of the beast clan's Beamon Behemoth.
It is said that among every thousand barbarians, there will be an outlier with particularly strong spiritual powers, known as the "Giant Barbarian", who has been learning to control the Frost Giant since he was very young, and can be said to have been born specifically for this special kind of war puppet.
The Frost Giants are forged by the Barbarians using a series of precious materials such as Polar Deep Blue Ice, Mithril, and High-level Ice Monsters, and are controlled and fought by the Giant Barbarians inside.
The outer armor of the Frost Giant is made of solid ice, which is completely immune to ordinary spell attacks, and even the crossbow used to defend the city cannot penetrate it, and the strength of the defense is comparable to that of a fourth- or fifth-level Beast Soul Warrior.
However, the Frost Giant is not without its weaknesses, it does not move fast, and only fights with brute force, does not possess spellcasting abilities, and is not completely indestructible.
Although Leon had never seen the Frost Giant, he had a full understanding of the situation of the barbarians in advance, and of course he would not be unaware of the horror of this kind of war puppet.
When leaving White Rock City, Count Octavia also warned him that ordinary barbarians should not be worried, and that it was the Terran warrior mages and the frost giants to be careful.
He didn't expect that there would be a frost giant in this Hailan Gathering, which could also see the importance that the barbarians attached to this supply transit point.
You must know that the Frost Giant is not easy to make, and it is difficult for low-level barbarian armies to equip a few.
It is precisely because of its existence that those barbarian warriors are so fearless.
With a square head, a bulging body, and thick limbs, the appearance is simple like a snowman piled up, but the thick ice and silver light included on the outside give people the illusion of indestructibility.
At its feet, the tall and muscular barbarians also looked small.
The only thing that makes Leon a little fortunate is that this frost giant is obviously not a high-level, although its size is huge, but the whole body is silvery-white, you must know that the more advanced the frost giant, the more icy blue the color.
However, Leon's understanding of this kind of war puppet is completely limited to a small amount of information on paper, and he has no actual combat experience, so he has no idea what kind of power the other party has.
"Roar!~"
Just as Leon was changing color, the frost giant, which was more than twenty feet tall, opened his arms and roared, and raised a huge mace in his right arm.
It strode straight over the head of a row of barbarian warriors and rushed straight towards the thunderbeast brigade!
The Frost Giant's speed was not fast, but it was a dozen steps as far as an ordinary person with each step, and each step was deep in the snow, making the earth tremble.
This is a completely mobile fortress, and even from a distance of a few hundred paces, it still gives the opponent a strong sense of intimidation.
The veterans of the Thunder Beast who had experienced many bloody battles were naturally not easily intimidated, but those newly joined warriors couldn't help but take half a step back, and some of them showed a hint of horror in their eyes.
At this time, the loud battle song sounded again, and the shaman accompanying the army once again released a war incentive aura, which instantly dispelled the fear in their hearts, and the recruits gritted their teeth and puffed up their chests again.
The battle cry also brought Leon to his senses, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Archers prepare!"
Three hundred archers drew their longbows in unison and aimed them at the approaching Frost Giant.
"Put!"
Three hundred bowstrings crashed at the same time, and three hundred armor-piercing arrows weaved in the air in a rain of arrows, flying above the frost giant in the blink of an eye.
In the face of the arrows flying from the sky, the Frost Giant maintained its original pace and rhythm, and did not dodge or even block at all, and shot sharp arrows down on its body, making a crackling sound of rain hitting Basho.
These feathered arrows that could penetrate the iron armor completely lost their power outside the layer of ice armor of the Frost Giant, leaving only small dots half an inch deep on the armor surface, and then they were bounced off and fell to the ground, and some even broke directly!
The strength of the Frost Giant's defense was really not blown, and Leon's expression became more and more solemn, and he waved his hand again, signaling the tomahawk to prepare to shoot the spear.
At this moment, the Frost Giant suddenly bent down, leaned over and grabbed a large rock from the ground, and threw it towards the Thunder Beast Brigade with one arm!
Call!
The nearly thousand-pound boulder made an arc in the air, swept a distance of nearly three hundred steps, and slammed down on Leon no more than a dozen feet away.
The boulder crashed into the snow, splashing countless drops of snow and mud, and the snow camel that Leon was riding screamed in fright and took a few steps back.
Leon couldn't help but curse angrily in his heart, this frost giant is too powerful, it is simply a walking humanoid trebuchet, if it is smashed into the queue by this boulder... A chill suddenly rose in his heart, but he was instantly swallowed by the burning battle intent.
Leon could not tolerate such a situation, and he made a decision in an instant, slamming his left hand backwards on the back of the snow camel.
The snow camel was in pain, and immediately spread its hooves and rushed forward.
As he launched the charge, Leon shouted, "Rock Hammer, you stay here, I'll deal with it!"
Rock Hammer was taken aback, and it was too dangerous for Leon to rush to deal with the Frost Giant alone, but his long-standing awe and trust in Leon played a role at this critical moment.
Without hesitation, he took Lyon's place, suppressed the guards who were about to move, and ordered in a deep voice: "Obey the orders of your lordship and prepare for battle!"
Under the pressure of Leon, the snow camel was forced to run forward with all its potential, and the moon was getting closer and closer to the frost giant in front of him.
The majestic soul power was running in the body, the crimson flame soul armor condensed and formed outside Leon's body, and the Thunder Flame Battle Knife in his hand spewed out fiery sword qi, and in a very short period of time, Leon promoted his power to the peak.
Because he knew that if the obstacle in front of him could not be overcome, then the only choice for the Thunder Beast Brigade was to abandon the mission and flee back to White Rock City.
"Roar!~"
When the distance between the two sides was no more than a few dozen paces, Leon lifted the shuttle gun hanging on the hunchback with his left hand, infused with thunder and threw it towards the frost giant with all his might.
Sou!
The pike spear carrying Lei Mang was like lightning rushing, and in an instant, it hit the Frost Giant's chest, and the tip of the spear burst out with a dazzling blue light, breaking through the ice armor and piercing half a foot deep.
But such damage was completely damaging to the Frost Giant, who raised his left arm and flapped the pike spear stuck in his chest into the air with ease.
Taking a big step forward, the Frost Giant bent down slightly, picked up the mace in his right arm and swung it at Leon.
Matching its sheer size, the mace used by the Frost Giant is also staggering in size, and it is impossible to imagine what it would be like to be hit by this one.
Even if Leon is possessed by soul armor, he definitely doesn't want to try it.
However, the mace's attack range was extremely large, and the snow camel under his crotch was only a temporary mount, and there was no tacit understanding of the exclusive war horse, and it was completely impossible to expect this snow camel to dodge the powerful blow of the frost giant.
Facing an almost terrifying opponent, Leon's mind became extremely calm and clear at the moment of the real confrontation, in fact, he had already anticipated all kinds of possibilities when he charged towards the frost giant without hesitation.
So the moment the mace slammed over, he slammed his legs and leaped into the air with the help of the snow camel's sprint, avoiding the frost giant's heavy blow.
Boom!
The huge mace struck the poor snow camel, and the thousand-pound beast rider was instantly torn apart, and the bloody corpse was knocked out dozens of feet away with its internal organs!
Leon, who jumped into the air, saw the opportunity, stepped on the Frost Giant's right arm, and jumped up again, the Thunder Flame War Knife brought a touch of Red Flame Blade, and slashed at the Frost Giant's neck.
Leon's attack was undoubtedly bold, and he was completely bait in exchange for a close melee opportunity.
The Frost Giant's sheer size is both a strength and a weakness, and like an elephant that can't help a mouse that runs underneath it, its power is difficult to use against small targets that get too close to it.
Click!
The Frost Giant didn't have time to react, and was slashed in the neck by Leon, and a piece of ice armor nearly a foot long was slashed off.
However, this still can't threaten the Frost Giant, its ice armor is too thick to be defeated unless it can penetrate the control center.
And where is the control center of the Frost Giant? Under the protection of its most solid front and rear breastplates, with the strength of a third-level Thunder Soul Warrior, it is impossible to break through this layer of protection unless it holds an artifact.
So this knife is powerful but useless.
The sword was exhausted, and Leon's figure suddenly fell, and the frost giant also reacted, opening his palm and slapping him hard.
Leon, who was in the air, had a lightning bolt in his left hand, and grabbed the edge of the ice armor on the raised shoulder of the frost giant.
The edge of the ice armor was cold and sharp, but fortunately, Leon poured soul power into his hand so that it was not cut, and with the support of his left hand, he swung forward, just avoiding the giant's slap.
Boom!
The huge slap slapped directly on its own shoulder, and ice chips flew everywhere.
The blow missed, and the Frost Giant turned around somewhat awkwardly and tried to continue his attack on Leon.
But it couldn't find Leon.
Therefore, Leon grabbed its shoulder armor and hung it on its back, the frost giant was a puppet and not a real living thing, so he naturally couldn't notice it.
