After transforming into dragons, Moriel and Natalis are both masters at the top of the sky level. Especially Natalie’s strength has almost exceeded the boundary of the sky level. Taking into account the cold moon sword and her own specialties, It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a false saint, and although Richard is not as strong as Moriel and Natalies, he is still a strong player in the sky level. At least in a one-on-one duel, Frederick is no match for Richard.
At this moment, being surrounded by three masters who were stronger than him, it was not easy for Frederick to persist for nearly a minute.
The huge snow giant’s head rolled to the ground. There was no large area of bleeding in the wound. Instead, it was full of traces of burns. The Vulcan Sword coupled with the special effects of Richard’s fighting spirit directly stopped the bleeding. On the head, Frederick’s eyes widened and he looked dead.
Indeed, Frederick is clearly just here to brush up his prestige this time and accumulate some qualifications for himself to compete for the next Xuefeng tribe leader. He has high talent, a good birth, and has the merit of fighting the white dragon. There are all registered figures in Ting, why did they die here inexplicably?
Why are these humans so strong, where did those dragons come from, and why can they appear out of thin air?
Frederick can no longer figure out these questions.
“Bang!”
“General!”
This really happened too fast. Until Frederick died, the two earth-level subordinates and more than ten soldiers around them did not break through the blockade of Zhuo Jue swordsman and came to support. Instead, one person was killed by Zhuo Jue. The swordsman was seriously injured. The two outstanding swordsmen were also real mid-level warriors in the sky. Although they looked small, they were still strong men who could fight a giant dragon at a fifty-fifty level. How could these dozen snowmen The giant can be knocked down easily.
The death of Frederick brought huge psychological shock to these snow giants who were still trying to support them. In their eyes, General Frederick, who was extremely powerful, died so easily? If it weren’t for the headless corpse and the glaring head right in front of them, they would have regarded this as a big joke.
“Boom!”
“Ah!”
However, there was no time for them to doubt their lives. Richard and others, who had solved Frederick’s problem, did not let go of the two Frederick’s deputies and the surrounding soldiers. Moriel almost hit the ground when Frederick’s head fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, he turned to help two outstanding swordsmen to deal with a snow giant warrior.
A breath of dragon breath directly burned the white snow giant into black charcoal. Then Richard and Natalie also turned around and joined the battle. With the cooperation of a few people, the result of more than a dozen snow giant warriors was not much better than that of Frederick. After a few minutes, they were all corpses on the ground.
On the other side, after the giant dragon joined the battle, the Flying Bear Army also launched a full-scale counterattack under the leadership of Quill and Elena. The Snow Giant, who could barely contend, lost the command of Frederick. Completely lost sense of proportion.
The champion knights who were originally outside the battlefield also joined the counterattack and rushed directly into the enemy formation with the Flying Bear Army. Under the dual pressure of the dragon in the sky and the ground troops, the vassal tribes who originally had average fighting will were The fighters began to retreat, and a chain reaction ensued.
With the loss of Frederick, the Snow Giants had no unified dispatch and command. This small-scale retreat was not contained, and quickly formed a large-scale rout. The direct descendants of the Yukikaze tribe who originally wanted to continue fighting were also fled. The tribal warriors fled, and finally a very funny scene appeared on the battlefield. A group of “short” human soldiers chased the huge snow giant with weapons, but the distance became farther and farther. Except for a few system soldiers and champion knights, they could In addition to catching up, the distance between the others was getting wider and wider.
The formation of the Flying Bear Army is even a little scattered. This situation is actually very dangerous. In the history of war, there are no shortage of cases of pursuit and overturning after victory, especially when pursuing an enemy that moves faster than one’s own.
However, this time the Flying Bear Army does not have to worry about this. The command center of the Snow Giant has been knocked out by Richard, and it is impossible to organize any counterattack. Besides, there are more than ten giant dragons and dragons in the sky. The two angels were in pursuit, and they would disperse the fleeing snow giant warriors whenever they showed signs of gathering to fight back.
“Stop chasing!”
“Dang, Dang, Dang!”
Quell decisively ordered the Flying Bear Army to stop the pursuit after realizing that this pursuit was ineffective.
After the golden sound sounded, the Flying Bear Army, which had been pursuing so hard just now, all stopped and stopped engaging in unnecessary pursuit.
Only Richard and the dragons continued to pursue, trying to inflict maximum damage on the snow giant.
The entire pursuit continued until it was getting dark. The bodies of snow giants were left all along the edge of the wilderness and snowfields. Although there were only a few hundred dead snow giants, due to their huge size, The scene still looks shocking.
“My lord!”
“My lord!”
Richard returned to the original place with the chasing dragons. Although he chased more with less, he did not suffer any losses. No matter how powerful the army is, as long as it loses the courage to fight and leaves its back to the enemy, it will be nothing in the future. Just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
After seeing Richard return, Quill, along with several senior officers of the Flying Bear Army and Man Gu, who was still in excitement, came up to salute Richard, and Richard waved his hand.
“Don’t be so particular on the battlefield. Have the casualties been counted?”
“The specific number of people is still being counted. It is roughly estimated that the number of casualties is more than 20,000, of which half may be killed in action, and many others are seriously injured, especially the first and second flag regiments who are on the front line. , the casualty rate has exceeded 60%, and I am afraid that there will be no way to continue to complete the combat mission in the short term.”
Quell, who reported the casualties to Richard, originally had some excitement after victory on his face, but when he mentioned the number of casualties, it still became heavy. The Flying Bear Army has never endured such a heavy attack since its establishment. The total casualties this time were close to 50%, and the proportion of killed and seriously injured was also higher than normal.
After all, when fighting against species of the same size, even against a stronger race like orcs, you may only suffer some sword wounds, or at worst, another hole in your body. As long as no vital parts are injured, the Hunter family With the current level of medical care, the probability of returning is relatively high, because the Hunter family not only has healing magic, but also has a complete set of anti-infection measures, and the rescue rate of wounded soldiers is much higher than other troops of the same era.
But in a fight with a monster of the size of a snow giant, after being hit, the whole body may be deformed, and there is no question of whether to save it or not. A casual kick may cause it to fly ten meters away. , which is much more serious than being struck by a sword.
Richard was mentally prepared to suffer more casualties than the Flying Bear Army. Looking at Quill and several senior officers covered in blood, he knew how brutal the battle was. It was not that Richard did not want to send more troops, but It happened suddenly, and the only one who could provide the fastest support at that time was the Flying Bear Army, a powerful army stationed in the middle of the wilderness for a long time.
“Let’s do our best to rescue the wounded soldiers first, and the pensions must keep up. If they can no longer fight in the future, they must be registered after being sent back to their place of origin. Those who can be arranged to the militia will be arranged to the militia. Those who are really incapable of action will be compensated on a monthly basis. Some food and military pay to ensure their livelihood.”
“Yes, sir!”
This set of practices is the established rules of the Hunter family. The Hunter family’s army can fight so bravely. In addition to doing a good job in daily training and ideological work, the relevant treatment and pensions after casualties are also the focus of ensuring combat effectiveness. Li I would like to mention it specifically this time. The main reason is that the area that needs to be compensated this time is a bit large. If this work is not done well, it will easily affect the overall combat effectiveness of the army under its command.
“It’s a pity that they ran away a lot.”
This is the disadvantage of facing an opponent with long legs. If you win, it will not be easy to fight a battle of annihilation. Even if there are more than ten giant dragons, two archangels, and three great masters such as Richard chasing after you, the last remaining There were only seven or eight hundred snow giants, barely half of them. After the remaining half fled in all directions on the snowfield, Richard did not dare to pursue him any further. After all, this snowfield was the territory of the snow giant, and he was not prepared at all to pursue him. If you go down, accidents may easily occur.
“Savage bones.”
“My subordinates are here!”
Part of the reason why Barbarian Bones surrendered originally was that the old and weak of the Bingyan tribe were controlled by Richard and had to bow their heads. Now, Richard directly defeated Xuefeng, who was extremely powerful in his eyes, in front of him. After joining the tribe, Barbarian Bone has no thoughts at all, and the next step is probably to become a giant rapist.
So now Mangu naturally treats himself as a subordinate when facing Richard, even more respectful than Quill and others.
Richard nodded secretly, quite satisfied with Mangu’s attitude, and then asked.
“How many prisoners were captured this time?”
“Including the injured, we may have to accept more than two hundred prisoners this time.”
There has never been any courage to fight to the death in the spirit of snow giants. Saving their lives when things are impossible is the choice of most snow giants. This tradition cannot be said to be bad, at least in the snow field, within the snow giants Not excessively depleting the population during annexation wars is an important tradition that ensures that the Snow Giants can barely maintain a slow population growth despite low fertility rates.
But when faced with foreign wars, they lost a little courage to live and die, resulting in many prisoners.
It’s just that there were too many prisoners this time, which made Mangu both excited and distressed. Originally, the Ice Flame Tribe was just a micro-tribe with only sixty or seventy people in total, if the leader Mangu hadn’t been a little stronger. , has long been annexed by other tribes.
The Ice Flame Tribe has still digested the more than 20 prisoners last time. This time, more than 200 prisoners have arrived. If they are added to the Ice Flame Tribe, they will be twice as large as the total population of the Ice Flame Tribe. No, it’s definitely not realistic.
After hearing this amount, Richard thought about it and knew that it was impossible to hand it all over to the Ice Flame Department, at least not now, so he spoke.
“This time you select thirty more snow giants to join your tribe. Elena will lead the guards on the rest. Don’t cause trouble. If there are any who try to escape or cause trouble, they must be dealt with harshly. Do you understand? .”
“Yes, sir!”
The execution ability of the snow giants is better than that of the ogres. Customizing some tools for them should be good for mining on the edge of the wilderness. Let’s temper their temperament first.
After deciding the fate of these snow giant prisoners in a few words, Richard came back to his senses and checked his own attributes.
Name: Richard Hunter
Level: 21
Strength: 44.5
Physique: 43.2
Agility: 41.1
Spirit: 21.5
Talent: Dominance
Skills: Beast Breathing Technique (Grandmaster – cannot be upgraded), Burning Sun Air Entrainment Technique (intermediate level), Offensive Technique (Advanced), Defense Technique (Advanced), Logistics Technique (Elementary), Magic Power (Elementary).
Basic attributes have improved after reaching level 21, but the increase is not large. The few skill points given by the upgrade cannot play any role and can only be saved temporarily. After level 20, Richard needs a huge amount of points every time he upgrades. It is also because the Snow Giant is strong enough and has enough experience that Richard can break through the bottleneck and reach level 21 after victory. Moriel and Natalie also gained a lot of experience, but not as much as Richard. Same upgrade.
On the other hand, Elena, who has been staying at the wilderness border and guarding the magic crystal mine that Richard regards as her lifeblood, has improved qualitatively after these two battles.
“Sir! It was my dereliction of duty this time.”
In addition to Richard, Elena was also leading the pursuit. Although the champion knights and fanatics were not as fast as the dragons, under the leadership of Elena, they were still able to catch up with several snow giants and defeat them. , after Elena saw Richard turning back with the dragon, she also rushed back with people, but she was just a step slower than Richard.
“You have done a good job, no need to blame yourself.”
Richard said this not to comfort Elena. Although the Flying Bear Army suffered heavy casualties in supporting Elena this time and made many inexperienced mistakes, no one had fought against a large-scale snow giant. Experience shows that Elena has done quite well when the enemy is strong and we are weak.
But Elena still had a look of remorse on her face. Not only did the Flying Bear Army suffer heavy casualties this time, but more than half of Elena’s fanatics were also killed because they rushed to the front line and fought regardless of life and death.
However, although the loss was heavy this time, Elena’s strength has been qualitatively improved after upgrading through these two battles.
Hero Priestess Elena

Compared with higher-level heroes such as Natalis and Moriel, Elena’s initial level is very low. This time the Snow Giant’s experience is enough for her to upgrade several levels in a row, and her strength has completely broken through the sky level. Guan Guan became another general under Richard.
