Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 553: Snowfield Conquest 3

Snowfield City

At this time, the city gate has been completely closed. A large number of ground thorns and a large number of giant iron horses on the outer defense line have surrounded the three floors. Looking from the sky, the two kilometers range with Snowfield City as the center is densely packed. The spikes made the entire Snowfield City look like a shrinking hedgehog.

Many shallow trenches were dug between various iron horses and spikes. Originally, according to the defenders’ idea, several wide and long deep trenches should be dug. It would be best if the snow giants could even step on them. His feet got stuck, but as soon as this plan was proposed, the commander of the engineering battalion started yelling. To dig a long trench that even a snow giant could sink into, it would have to be at least ten meters deep. The amount of this project is simply ridiculous, let alone It is surrounded by frozen soil. Without the help of the system, it would be impossible to build Snowfield City.

Without the intervention of supernatural forces such as magic, it would be difficult to start construction in a place like the snowfield. The Northland’s engineering and infrastructure capabilities are the best in the entire continent, so someone would come up with such an outrageous plan.

However, digging deep pits is not possible, but several shallow pits are still arranged with some burning objects in them. This is not to trap the snow giant, but to pour a bucket of kerosene into it at the critical moment and light a fire trench. to temporarily stop the snow giant’s advance.

The Snow Giants of the Bingyan Tribe have already retreated into the city under the leadership of Mangu. They no longer need to continue to investigate outside. The Snow Giant army has no intention of hiding at all, and they are approaching Snowfield City in a swaggering manner. A line of defense, at least 20,000 snow giants surrounded Snowfield City.

Even the high-morale Dragon Army and Griffin Legion soldiers couldn’t help but sweat when they saw the densely packed Snow Giants outside. There are more than 20,000 Snow Giants, which is equivalent to 20,000 Great Knight-level masters, and they are relatively Compared with the big knights, these snow giants look more shocking. Their size is at least five or six times larger than humans. The tallest human soldiers are only as big as the knees of the snow giants. This kind of creature usually appears on the battlefield. The guy who could change the situation of the local war actually appeared on the battlefield in a legion at this time.

“King, humans are increasing their troops, and there are more dragons in the city.”

With the huge figure of the giant dragon, as long as it appears in Snowfield City, it will definitely not be hidden from the eyes of the snow giant.

Nearly ten giant dragons headed by the Holy Dragon simply circled back and forth over Snowfield City openly, attracting the attention of the Snow Giant.

“Those seem to be golden dragons, but what is that blue dragon?”

In the memory of the Snow Giant King, the only dragons related to were white dragons, golden dragons, and red dragons. Some of the rarer dragon species had no impression in his not-so-long memory.

“Have these dragons united with humans?”

The general next to the Snow Giant King looked at the giant dragon flying over Snowfield City from time to time with a heavy expression. Apparently the sudden appearance of the dragon made him a little worried. If it was just this, the dragon would be okay. If the giant dragons of one color unite to fight together, facing hundreds of giant dragons, the snow giant will suffer heavy casualties.

“Don’t worry, General Kawei, there are only ten giant dragons. Even if there are hundreds of giant dragons, we will be scared if so many warriors gather here.”

The newly appointed Snow Giant King sounded extremely confident. Originally, he was not the most promising among the direct descendants of the Tate family, but he became a dark horse among all the competitors. He was killed and became the new Snow Giant King.

The reason is also very simple. Although the Snow Giant Royal Court has broken away from barbarism and has some rudiments of civilization, it is still a semi-primitive tribe that worships force. Although it also pays attention to some strategies and calculations, personal strength is more important. The degree is still higher.

Originally, the strength of several competitors was at the sky level, and there was no big gap. In order to compete for the throne, they were constantly wooing supporters, not only within the royal court, but also from the large and medium-sized tribes under the royal court. He is also the target of their wooing, and there is even a risk of internal strife.

But just when the tension between several parties was about to break out at any time, an unexpected thing happened. Severo, who originally did not have much advantage in the competition, actually showed the power of the Holy Order. A generation of Snow Giant King also needs pure strength.

The Snow Giant King who was killed by Aragorn had to rely on the Key of Ice and Snow to barely reach the Holy Level, while Severo was actually promoted to the Holy Level.

Severo, who showed the strength of the Holy Order, directly ended this competition. Most of the neutral tribes immediately fell to Severo. Even if other competitors were unwilling, they did not dare to go against the general trend and could only admit it. With Severo’s rise to power, an internal strife was eliminated.

Although Severo, who came to power with hard power, is the new king, his prestige is not low, and he has not been unable to control the situation. However, Severo, who does not have the Key of Ice and Snow, always feels that something is missing. Shortly after taking office, he issued a recruitment order in the name of the royal court. This time, the scope of recruitment was wider. No tribe dared to be slippery with the new king’s first order, especially the large tribes that had supported other competitors before. He didn’t dare to let Severo get the hang of him.

In a short period of time, most of the snow giant tribe gathered around Snowfield City.

“King, we still have to be more cautious. Humanity’s long-range weapons are very powerful, and the defense lines around the city are also very insidious. We suffered a lot last time.”

“There is also that powerful Saint-level man, with all due respect…”

“Stop, stop, stop…”

“General Kawei, you are starting again.”

Kawei is a veteran of the royal court and has always had prestige. He made great achievements in the battle with the White Dragon. After the death of the previous Snow Giant King, his status was relatively aloof, and several of them fought hard to beat the brains out of a dog. Competitors vied to woo him but failed to put him down.

It was not until Severo showed the strength of the Holy Order that Kawei led some of the neutral forces to turn to Severo, which was considered a hero to Severo.

It’s just that this veteran has too many concerns. His opinions often conflict with Severo’s. He is also very direct in his speech and doesn’t give Severo much face. He is a bit stubborn.

At this moment, Severo was urged to be careful again, which made Severo a little impatient. However, Severo was not a lunatic. Although he was a little impatient, he was not ready to deal with the veteran. , he could only say patiently:

“The late king didn’t know that humans have such strong people, so he put himself in danger. I am under the protection of the general. No matter how strong the human beings are, they can’t deal with hundreds of warriors around here, right?”

Kavi nodded. The hundreds of personal guards around him are at least equivalent to the peak of human knights. Among them, the proportion equivalent to the earth level is not low. Even the powerful saint level has to fight in. Weigh, weigh.

However, Kawei continued:

“The casualties caused by storming the human city were still too great. You didn’t see it last time. As soon as the weapons on their city were moved, the warriors fell one by one.”

According to Kawei’s idea, human cities should not be attacked by force. After observing for so long, he has already discovered that humans are not adapted to the climate of the snowfield at all. Without those traitors, it would be difficult for them to leave the city for more than ten miles. There is no threat to the snow giants. It is better to deploy some troops to monitor and confront them at a very small cost.

But Severo, who had been promoted to the holy rank and succeeded the Snow Giant King, could not listen to this when he was in high spirits. Moreover, he had a reason that no one could object to.

“The Key of Ice and Snow is still in the hands of humans. If we don’t defeat humans, how can we get the Key of Ice and Snow back?”

“Needless to say, General Kawei, how many tribes are in place now? How many soldiers can be dispatched?”

“There are already five large tribes, thirteen medium-sized tribes, and some small tribes are on the way. Together with the soldiers directly under the royal court, we can mobilize more than 20,000 soldiers.”

“Enough!”

“General Kawei, organize yourself and prepare to launch an attack. Let the Yukikaze Department take the lead.”

After hearing Severo’s order, Kawei was stunned and immediately understood Severo’s plan. The Yukikaze tribe was on the wrong team when they were fighting for the throne. After Severo succeeded to the throne, he said He said that he would not pursue the matter, which relieved the hearts of several tribes. He did not expect that the retaliation would come so quickly, which was really a bit embarrassing.

Although the Snow Giant has a royal court, it is not a centralized system after all. Although the royal court is powerful, several large tribes are not weak either. If we really want to fight this battle, it will definitely be a hard battle to conquer this human city. , all tribes must work together. If these tribes are used as cannon fodder for selfish reasons, the morale of all tribes except the Royal Court will soon drop, which will not be conducive to siege the city.

“King, the first battle is particularly important. Why don’t we let some of my modern elites from the royal court give it a try and set an example for all the tribes?”

Kavi couldn’t help but try to persuade him again, but Severo’s attitude was very firm.

“It’s just a tentative attack. Why send out the royal court’s elite and let the Xuefeng tribe find a few more small and medium-sized tribes to try together with a thousand warriors.”

“Yes, King!”

Severo’s attitude was firm, and Kawei could only accept the order until he could no longer persuade him. He immediately went to the Xuefeng tribe and asked them to gather soldiers and prepare for the attack.

After Kavi left, Severo called another snow giant general. Although this snow giant general was not as qualified and prestigious as Kavi, he was the first general to join Severo. Luo’s true confidant.

“General Gwu’er, you lead a thousand of the royal court’s elite to press the battle. Without my order, the attacking troops are only allowed to advance and not retreat. Those who retreat will die.”

“Yes, King!”

Compared to Kawei, Gul was quite decisive when accepting Severo’s order, and he accepted this task that might kill friendly troops without any hesitation.

When Gul left, Severo sat in the main seat, playing with the ice blade in his hand.

The narrow expression on his face no longer existed, but instead became calm and profound.

“Wang Ting, why can’t it become a kingdom.”

On the other side, when the snow giant began to prepare for the attack, Richard was also standing on the top of Snowfield City.

When Richard stood on the city wall, the golden Three-Year Flag was raised, which is Richard’s iconic recognition flag. Although the pattern of the Three-Year Flag used by the Hunter family is unified, they are generally distinguished by color.

In the Hunter family system, Richard is the only one who can use the golden three-arrow flag to identify the flag. Snowfield City has a tall city wall, and the golden identification flag is also very eye-catching. Once it is installed on the city wall, it will be more than ten miles around. They could all see it clearly, and almost all the soldiers knew that their most admired guardian of the North, Mr. Richard, was already standing with them.

The cheers sounded quickly, one wave after another.

The soldiers who were originally a little nervous about facing the snow giant had long since given up their fear. They wished that the snow giant was right in front of them so that they could show their bravery in front of Lord Richard.

“My dear, the soldiers admire you.”

Richard was not alone on the wall. In addition to the soldiers holding the flag, Messiah and Christine were beside him.

It is very normal for Christine to be here, but the Messiah here gives Richard a headache. Originally, he wanted the Messiah to return to Miracle City through the teleportation array, but the Messiah always Wanting to stay with him, Richard reluctantly agreed to stay with Messiah after he showed his strength as a great magician.

“The soldiers you see worship me, but what I see is heavy pressure. After this battle, these cheers will never be heard again.”

Richard’s slightly pretentious words made the kind-hearted Messiah fall into silence, losing his previous excitement.

Christine on the other side praised:

“You have a rare quality that most lords have, you are kind and kind.”

Richard did not answer and remained silent. Sometimes he pretended to be too much and even believed it. As a ruler, the most important thing is to raise the leeks in the field so that he can harvest them repeatedly. But now Richard’s kind man It really seems that the more he stands, the more stable he becomes. Even now, he himself can’t tell the difference.

But soon, Richard and the others no longer had time to think about these profound questions. After the formation of the team, more than a thousand snow giants were striding towards Snowfield City. The noise they made was louder than the movements of tens of thousands of cavalry. Even bigger, the soldiers knew that the battle was about to begin without the commander’s reminder.

“Get ready to fight!”

“Get ready to fight!”

“Prepare the catapult!”

“Prepare the divine crossbow!”

“Four thousand meters!”

“Three thousand meters!”

“Two thousand five hundred meters!”

“Let it go!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!…”
