Chapter 87 The Disaster of Giants
The giant's footsteps continue from the plain to the forest.
The morning light illuminates the emerald green trees, and the trees lying on the ground form a path that extends to the distance.
Even the trees that were avoided by the giants had many branches and leaves that were scraped and fell to the ground.
The place where the horse was caught last night was still scattered with some dark red blood and... some broken bone fragments.
"That's...the giant?!"
Poluo looked at the deep pit on the ground and the broken branches and leaves around him, thinking about the nightmare monster last night.
He once again realized... the difference between this world and his previous life.
But no matter what, having a taller body than a tree, the weight of a deep pit on the ground, and being able to walk like this as usual... The physical strength of this giant has reached an unimaginable level!
Can swords really hurt such qualities?
"Yes, this is a giant, a hidden danger that has always been difficult to eradicate in the Boren Kingdom."
Veteran Yinwei said, "Every year, the soldiers who died under the giants in Boren Kingdom died in countless cases... and the existence of giants also made the Boren Kingdom rich in resources, but its national strength was not as strong as that of the Sinuo Kingdom.
Most of their money - is devoted to the military. ”
"Can they really compete with such existences as giants? If giants attack villages and towns, can ordinary soldiers really cause harm to the giant's body just?"
In front of Poluo's eyes, the legs that stood like pillars flashed last night and asked.
"Yes, the military strength of the Boren Kingdom has always been the strongest in this area. This is very different from the Sinuo Kingdom, which has more peace time."
"Also, the Boren Kingdom has special weapons."
At this time, Lake, next to Poluo, spoke up.
She lifted up her cloak, and under the cloak was inlaid with a piece of armor taken from the prince's armor. The surface of this armor was engraved with a magic array.
Laike transformed Prince Poren's armor to make it a size that suits him more.
"In the "Illustration of the Forbidden Demon Array" left by the queen, I found many methods of manufacturing special weapons in the Boren Kingdom."
Lake thought for a while and continued, "There is also that... "Boren Intelligence Summary", a kind of formation that the Boren Kingdom is still in use.
That is also the formation that the Boren Kingdom is still widely equipped.
This kind of formation is not on weapons or armor, nor is it used for the battle between man and man... It was born specifically to defend against giants, and it is precisely because of this that the Kingdom of Boren was not destroyed by giants.
It is used on a giant crossbow originally used for siege—”
"Giant Butcher."
The veteran added, "This is the name of that giant crossbow. From ancient times to the present, the giants who died under that giant crossbow have far exceeded a hundred!
Of course, even so, every time you kill a giant, you often have to pay... a hundred times the life of a soldier! ”
"That's it..."
A complex expression appeared in Poluo's eyes.
During the conversation, the Boren elite soldiers and Prince Boren gave Polu a very bad impression of the unconcealed hostility and desire to kill the Sinuo Kingdom.
Many of the plans they revealed casually and casualties are not caring about civilian casualties!
But now it seems that all performances have their roots—
The death of every giant must be exchanged for the lives of countless comrades... When looking at the familiar people around me, one by one, being torn and eaten by the giant...
How could he become gradually indifferent to life?
And for those Sinuo people who don’t have to worry about giants, which one of the Boren people will not be jealous of this?
Of course, this does not mean that Po Luo agrees with the ideas of those Boren elite soldiers.
But since you have to pass through the Boren Kingdom, maybe... there will be a day when you are facing the giant!
If yesterday wasn't night, nor was it in the forest.
How should a giant escape when he comes from the plain in front of him? Where can I escape?
Fortunately, this did not happen.
As the veteran said, the number of giants is extremely rare, and most of them act alone.
In front of humans with "giant butcher" siege crossbows, a century of blows have prevented the remaining giants from attacking large towns with large populations, and most of them only live in the forest.
The lone giant I met last night may just be a somewhat unlucky coincidence.
Although the few people lost their carriage, they were all in good physical strength.
Except for the veteran's lover Dans, the other three have the ability to survive alone in the wild, so although the speed of crossing Boren has slowed down, nothing unexpected happened.
Until...this evening. "Is that a village ahead?"
The hills in the distance were covered with slight wisps of smoke and clouds, looking in that direction from the hills, a few black dots arranged neatly.
Next to it, there are crisscrossing ridges of the fields.
"It's great. Follow the road and there is indeed a village!"
Lake said happily, having a village here means that you can buy a lot of supplies and dry food, and... buy a new carriage again.
Although through [Spiral Trail Mark: Hunter], Lake's ability to survive in the wild is basically full.
But as a young girl, no one wants to sleep in the wild all day long.
If you have a house to live in, no one likes the ground for the bed and the sky for the quilt!
The Boren Kingdom is different from Sinuo. Due to the invasion of giants, the business here can be described as extremely late.
Even though Boren uses many policies to encourage it, there are still few people on the wild road.
At least a few people have not met anyone who can ask for directions along the way.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Well... when we get there, we can take a shower and then have a good sleep..."
Lake happily patted Poluo, and his steps became much lighter, "I already miss the soft bed a little!"
Looking at the girl's appearance, a faint smile also rose from the corner of Poluo's mouth.
But all this gradually disappeared as the village became closer and closer!
On the outside of the village, there is a circle of stone walls.
In Boren, even the smallest villages and towns will carry a considerable military force.
But in the villages and towns not far away, all the details became clearer as the distance approached. Poluo and others saw that the stone-stacked city wall had collapsed and damaged most of it!
The thing found on the ground made several people suddenly shrink!
A...the footprint of a giant!
"This village... has encountered a giant!?"
On the side of the village, several people saw more chaotic and battle-breaking traces. The ground was covered with dark red blood, as well as many broken weapons and broken armor.
Within a few days, an extremely arduous battle occurred here!
"This... shouldn't be?"
Veteran Yinwei said with a little surprise, wide eyes widened.
He walked forward and pulled up a thick crossbow arrow with blood from the ground in the battlefield.
This crossbow arrow is completely made of metal, with countless fine patterns on the surface -
Even Poluo can be seen that they have the same style as the texture on Prince Boren’s armor!
"Is this a crossbow arrow shot by the 'giant butcher'?"
Poluo was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, that's it."
Lake also took out a crossbow arrow from the blood on the other side and carefully observed the fine lines on it.
"In the Kingdom of Boren, it is rare for giants to attack small towns... and there are very few troops with so many 'giant butchers' in Boren..."
The veteran observed the battlefield carefully. His past experience allowed him to discover more things from the traces of the battlefield.
But immediately afterwards, Poluo and Lek also found anomalies.
Because... there are so many giant footprints on the ground!
"These footprints have slight differences in shape and size."
The veteran said, raising his hand to Lake and Polo, pointing out the differences between several footprints, "In this battle, not only one giant participated-
Conservatively estimated, there are at least four giants! ”
