The rattlesnake is the only snake that lives on four continents at the same time, and can reach deep into the tundra areas of the ice and snow continent as far north as possible.
The slender fangs of the rattlesnake are hollow and filled with enough venom to make a giant dragon fall to the ground. Unlike most other snakes, the rattlesnake's huge fangs are folded. Only at the moment of its attack, the four sharp teeth can
Suddenly exploded.
The head of a rattlesnake has cheek pits that can sense infrared rays. No matter how carefully the enemy is at a disadvantage or how cautiously they step lightly, the rattlesnake can still easily detect it even if it is sleeping, and it will wait quietly and send out a fatal blast in an instant.
attack.
Human beings are often confused by the beautiful patterns of rattlesnakes, and even ignorant girls run to the roadside to look for the charming and melodious harp sound coming from somewhere.
...and these are often the beginning of death.

***************************
Among the cities in the empire, in terms of dangerous terrain, Hamburg definitely ranks among the top three.
Originally, only low-level races like dwarfs would live in such a high altitude. 780 years ago, when the dwarfs were operating their own caves, they suddenly discovered an extremely wide iron-rich mine. What's more, what's even more exciting is the iron-rich mine.
The mine is actually accompanied by black coal.
The dwarfs were extremely excited. Because they live in caves, have a strong smell on their bodies, and are only less than 1 meter tall, dwarfs have always been at the bottom of the social structure of the entire continent and are often in a precarious living situation. Dwarfs
They originally thought that such a rich mine would bring them wealth. What they didn't expect was that the first to arrive would be disaster.
Interested people soon discovered the secret from the iron ore provided by the dwarfs, and then a large mercenary group bloodbathed the dwarf village.
In fact, this mercenary group also became a victim of this mine - a few dwarf children who went out to play escaped the catastrophe in the grass. They also ran to the mountain dwarfs hundreds of miles away to inform the dwarf king.
As we all know, there is a very close blood relationship between dwarves and dwarfs. No matter what the purpose, the dwarf king avenged the dwarfs. The large mercenary group of more than 6,000 people collapsed, and at least more than 3,000 mercenaries were killed.
The soldier died in battle on the snowy mountain.
The mountain dwarf country has a population of more than 400,000, and even has a professional army of 3,000 people. Such strength forces humans to adopt a cooperative model.
Later, after hundreds of years, a large city with an average wall height of 20 meters was built on the blood-stained dwarf village. In addition to nearly 100,000 dwarf citizens, there were more than 200,000 human residents and nearly 200,000 human residents.
Thousands of dwarfs.
Any soldier who has been to Hamburg will be amazed at the strong defense of this city. Hamburg faces south, and on the north side is one of the main peaks at the western foot of the Snow Mountain - the 3,700-meter-high Yelumei Snow Peak. This snow peak is 70-angle
It rises from the ground and is covered with snow all year round. There may be a very few snow mountain natives who can climb such a high mountain, but large-scale soldiers... It is simply impossible. There are two cliffs on the east and west sides of the city.
It is more than 600 meters deep, and the west side is more than 1,300 meters deep. There are only more than 90 days a year that the cliffs on the west side are free of ice and snow. When the city was built, the designers cleverly built barracks on both sides of the cliff, completely cutting off any soldiers from coming here.
The idea of attacking. The south side of the city was originally a 30-meter-wide slope. Over the course of more than 700 years of operation, successive city guards skillfully dug out the soil (and filled it into abandoned mines to prevent landslides). Finally,
The gentle slope turned into a large continuous descending step. Each step is 30 meters wide and 15 meters high. There are three steps in total. Only a 30-meter-wide corridor is left in the middle.
There are also one hundred and twenty extremely large catapults mounted on the city wall. Since there is no need to consider transportation and angle adjustment, these catapults are more than ten times larger than the same equipment in any imperial armament department warehouse. The catapults used in the army
The catapult that cannot adjust the angle can only throw a maximum of 150 kilograms of stones at a time, while the catapult with adjustable angles can only throw 10 kilograms of stones. The throwing distance is generally 100 meters to 300 meters. The largest stone catapult in Hamburg is trial throwing a basket (very large)
It is difficult to find such a big stone). There are 35 stones in the basket, each with an average weight of 120 kilograms. The smallest catapult tried throwing a 7-piece catapult basket. The range of the catapult was 350 meters. Such a catapult
The required elasticity and shear force cannot be endured by any tree. In fact, all the catapults in Hamburg are made of pure steel, and they are not launched by manpower, but on the glacier on the northern peak that has not melted for thousands of years.
Plan out the slide, use leverage to lift the 3,000-pound stone to a height of 40 meters, and then use the downward force of the stone to launch it.
Since the city was built, no troops have ever enjoyed such treatment. However, after most soldiers saw it, most of them had this feeling: "I'm afraid a dragon, a dragon knight, or even a fly will be shot multiple times at once."
Let's smash 2,000 rocks from the sky."
At the right time, location, and people, Hamburg is a city that never falls.
From such a high place above the ground, looking at the sky, the stars are as if they are at hand, and you can reach out and hold them. The warriors from Fanos had been living in the tropical rain forest before, with humid air and rainy weather.
It's good luck to see the stars. Whoever is lucky enough to see such a scenery. If the temperature hadn't been so different, these soldiers would have been sitting around the campfire chatting like the human soldiers who had just joined their team.
Similarly, because of the cold, night duty on the city wall has become a big problem. The legion staff officer arranges as many human soldiers as possible to be on night duty, but after all, there are only 1,000 human soldiers. The orcs and half-orc soldiers who need to be on duty every time
They were wrapped in all the clothes and bedding they could find. Even so, the cold wind still penetrated their bones. As a last resort, the army allowed the soldiers to change their posts every half hour to warm themselves up by the fire.
In the eyes of the soldiers, such cautious defense was undoubtedly unnecessary. On such a clear night, the orc soldiers could see a distance of more than 500 meters. The front of the city wall was completely covered with white snow, without any trace of human or animal activity - let alone
Soldiers can conquer such dangerous peaks.
Death came much sooner and more accurately than the soldiers of the Fanos Legion expected.
