Chapter 121 Giants and Demons
Author: Arion's Dolphins
The forest that looks peaceful and peaceful has actually been hiding murderous intent for a long time.
In the first few months of the war, Franken and his rangers firmly held the initiative. They had grown up in the forest for hundreds of thousands of years, and their familiarity with the forest was far beyond that of the hobgoblins. In addition, the hobgoblins also
It is true that not many resources were devoted to this battlefield, and the hobgoblins were severely restricted for a long time.
During that time, they didn't even dare to leave the camp gate. If they went out, they would be attacked by the elves head-on. They could only rely on the method of forming a stronghold to fight the battle, barely ensuring that they would not be completely driven out of the southern part of Insula by the elves.
However, in recent times, the situation has begun to deteriorate rapidly.
There are numerous monsters living in the southern part of the forest, from weak but malicious gnolls to giants that are huge and difficult to match. Originally, the elves had always carefully avoided them, and they could barely get along with each other, but recently they began to
Actively attack other creatures more and more frequently.
Caught off guard, their trading team suffered heavy losses. Even the Brown Oak Rangers' station itself was raided by a Shark Lizard, and they suffered a lot of casualties.
Franken had a keen intuition passed down from generation to generation among elves, and he vaguely felt that something was not right. He followed the monsters and found the demon scroll from a group of gargoyles.
He did intend to send the demon scroll back to Yadron, but there was a distance of hundreds of kilometers between the two places, and the road he came from was no longer safe, so going back was no longer an easy task.
With the connection with the base camp cut off, Franken can only decide what happens next, and his decision is the decision of the entire Brown Oak Rangers.
That being said, in reality they only had two options: either run away before the situation worsened further, or fight to the death and resolve the matter before the situation worsened further.
The matter was related to the devil, and Franken and his companions agreed that the situation could not continue to deteriorate.
Without much hesitation, the elves chose the latter, trying to control the situation as much as possible before they sacrificed themselves, so that they might still have a glimmer of hope.
There is no way, even thirty-year-old elf children know clearly that demons have the ambition to corrode the entire main world. The former elf empire suffered heavy losses under the attack of several demon invasions. They know very clearly that once the scroll is allowed to
When the demons behind them came to the main world, their plans were definitely not limited to just operating in the small forest south of Insula.
With this idea in mind, most of the scouts were sent out to deliver the message, while all the remaining rangers of the Brown Oak Rangers stayed behind, preparing to do their best to slow down the progress of the devil's conspiracy.
The current situation is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to them. After Franken stayed, he did not want to go back alive. His estimate of the situation was extremely pessimistic. No matter how long it could be delayed, it could only be said that he was fighting for his fellow tribesmen.
It's time.
——
His eyes turned back to Tang Zhao. After leaving the Jackal tribe, he checked his physical condition and found that he was almost uninjured.
Now he has five scrolls in his hand, one from a chimera, a hill giant, a troll, a human spellcaster, and a gnoll leader.
Judging from their reactions, this kind of scroll has a special temptation for most creatures. Even if they are murderous, they will not be able to help but keep them. But Tang Zhao had no such reaction at all. He stared at it.
After looking at these scrolls for a long time, I didn't feel any possessiveness.
However, when he looked at these brightly colored scrolls, he was not without feelings. He could feel a vague appetite. This was the emblem signaling to him that these things seemed to be edible in the emblem's judgment.
He is willing to believe in the emblem's judgment. Eating these scrolls must be of some benefit to him. However, in this situation, he does not dare to eat casually. It is a trivial matter to have a bad stomach. Who knows if these things from hell will do anything?
It would have some negative impact on him, so he didn't plan to speak out until he understood the situation.
After basking in the sun and warming his blood, he felt that his mobility had improved a lot. After the three trolls came back, he continued his hunting.
He did not ask about the situation of the Jackals, because he knew without asking that the Jackals must have suffered heavy losses, but it was not to the extent of annihilation. It can only be said that the beating hurt them, but it has not been able to solve the problem once and for all.
Jackals are a potential danger.
The three trolls didn't even think about "getting rid of the jackals". What they thought in their minds was very simple: to eat enough and then grab money. What's more, with their abilities, the total number of jackals in the group was a few hundred.
No matter what method we use, it is impossible to completely eliminate these jackals.
[Follow me, we are going to hunt some giants next. This is a bit difficult, and you may need your help.]
Several trolls were a little confused. After all, giants were not easy opponents to deal with. Tang Zhao also said that they would have to deal with several of them at the same time.
After a few seconds of fighting between heaven and man, the trolls finally showed flattering expressions: "Don't worry, don't worry! It's not a giant. It's not like we haven't eaten it before, even though it was just a young and useless giant.
But they should be pretty much the same.”
Frankly speaking, to Tang Zhao, these words sounded more like the trolls trying to embolden themselves, but it didn't matter, it was enough that they were willing to come and help.
Now Tang Zhao also knows a little about these trolls. If they really refuse to contribute, then they will probably say "The giants are too powerful" and "We also know a few weaker enemies who may be carrying demon scrolls."
Class words.
Although they obviously felt a little forced to open business, they did not escape, but decided to go with Tang Zhao. This was fine. He had no hope for the loyalty of the trolls. He could play a three-point role when the wind was against the wind, and he could play a three-point role when the power was balanced.
A five-point effect was Tang Zhao's highest expectation for the troll.
With these guides leading the way, Tang Zhao successfully found the giant's territory. He did not immediately start his next action, but rather cautiously began to observe the terrain and environment from the outside.
Giants are very common creatures in fantasy worlds. It is actually quite inappropriate to call them monsters, because they are also a species with strict organization and high intelligence. The history of their race is as long and unverifiable as the dragons.
It is said that there once existed a kingdom of giants "as old as legends", and a cruel war broke out between dragons and giants. Regarding the outcome of the war, both sides claimed that they had won the final victory.
Except for a few ancient dragons and super-high-level giants, there are very few people who know the truth of the matter. According to the results of the matter: the giant empire that spanned several continents finally fell apart, and there were vibrant new people all over the world.
The rise of the race, regardless of whether the dragon race won the war in ancient times, in the end the most powerful race on the continent did become the dragon race.
Since then, the giants have shrunk their territory. Nowadays, the giants' territories are mostly concentrated in some hidden places. They have basically become a minor race on the mainland. Looking left and right, the losses suffered by the giants are still there.
Bigger.
Dragons are mainly divided into metal dragons and five-color dragons. There are huge differences between the ten main dragons that are unimaginable to mortals.
The giants are similar. Within their race, there are also stone giants, fire giants, frost giants, cloud giants, storm giants and other races.
The society of giants is a caste system society. Giants like storm giants who can rival dragons are placed where they should go, which is the highest level of giant society.
The few giants that live in the southern part of Sula are naturally not the high-ranking storm giants and cloud giants. They are just the most common and weakest hill giants. In the former giant country, these hill giants were slaves.
, the existence of sandbags and laborers is almost the weakest branch among the countless branches of mainstream giants.
However, despite this, they still have a body of six or seven meters tall and a huge power that is unimaginable by ordinary people. They rob humans on the edge of civilization. They are not enemies that can be easily dealt with. Weak is only relatively weak.
.
With Tang Zhao's current ability, there is definitely no problem in winning, but it will be more troublesome when facing multiple hill giants. Just be careful and don't get besieged.
Not long after entering the giant's territory, Tang Zhao smelled some special smell in the air.
[There is a strong smell of elves, and elves have been here just now. There are no ruts of carriages, and there are no obvious signs of battle - it is obvious that this is a group of elven rangers rather than a caravan. 】
After observing the scene, Tang Zhao made his own judgment.
Before coming here, I heard Elena say that there is an organized team of elf rangers here. It seems that they are still active and their behavior is quite bold.
In terms of combat effectiveness alone, those Elf Rangers are definitely not very strong, because the teams with strong combat effectiveness are all pulled to the front line, and the people stationed in such secondary battlefields will not be shockingly powerful.
[It seems that they are carrying out some kind of mission. I came at the right time. I should be able to help out, so that I can communicate with the elves in this area in a relatively strong and proactive manner. 】
Thinking this with some joy, he stuck his tongue out of his mouth, captured the scent of elves in the air, and began to lead the troll on the trail.
Before he had gone far, Tang Zhao could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting in the distance. He quickly quickened his pace, fearing that the battle would be over if he arrived late.
But when he approached the scene, the scene in front of him surprised him.
Five tall and ferocious demons were mingling with a large number of elves, and there were no hill giants on the field at all.
