Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 222: Contact and conflict
"Bang!"
"Master Barbarian Bones is back! Master Barbarian Bones is back!"
Man Gu unloaded a large amount of prey from his body, which was much more than what Xiao Man brought back before. The most rare thing is that the harvest is quite stable. Since Man Gu started hunting in the past few days, everyone's food rations have been much more. , and even if you have some uneaten meat, you can use the snow giant's unique method to store it for emergencies.
In the past few days, Mangu has conquered everyone with his powerful strength. Not to mention the old and the weak who have benefited from it, even a group of soldiers around him are looking at him with reverence.
As for Xiaoman a few days ago? Now that he has been beaten back to being a member of the ordinary hunting team, Barbarian Bones has not made any arrangements because it is not necessary. The tradition of the Snow Giant tribe is that those with big fists and those who can bring back more prey are qualified to be the leader.
Now the one with the biggest fist is still his strong bones, and other snow giant warriors have to obey his orders obediently.
"Lord Barbarian Bones, there are human troops approaching! There is also an unidentified giant among them."
While Man Gu and others were distributing prey, a snow giant warrior suddenly reported the situation to Man Gu.
Barbarian Bones was obviously startled when he heard the word human army. Just like giants are a strange race to humans, snow giants don’t have much impression of humans. Instead, they have more contact with ogre kobolds. .
However, compared to most humans who have never seen giants at all, the snow giants of the Ice Flame Tribe often wander around the edges of the wilderness, so they have seen some unlucky ones who somehow managed to get to the wilderness.
Humans, a species that looks similar to giants but is much smaller, are not on the diet of snow giants. Unless they are hungry, they would rather eat kobolds than humans.
However, the snow giant's attitude towards humans only remains at the level of not being food, and they have no time to help them.
The humans they saw once in a while either froze to death or starved to death or disappeared in a few days, who cared.
Even now, when Barbarian Bones heard about the human army, he didn’t pay too much attention. After all, it was difficult for Barbarian Bones to feel threatened by an army composed of thin guys. On the contrary, it was a bit funny in his imagination, but the other party mentioned The unidentified giant made Man Gu somewhat concerned.
"All warriors, come with me and have a look."
"Yes!"
“Dong dong dong…”
More than a dozen Snow Giant warriors started running in the wilderness, causing quite a stir. Mangu soon saw the unidentified giant that the tribal warriors said.
The moment he saw the giant, Mangu's heart tightened and he became more vigilant. The other party was obviously not a snow giant, but a relative of his own, another branch of the giant, because the snow giants had whiter skin and relatively hairy bodies. Thick, and in order to better adapt to the snow environment, the hair on the snow giant is also white, making it easier to blend in with the environment during hunting.
As for the other party, he was naked, with no hair to protect him from the cold, and his skin was black and yellow. The difference between the two was completely visible to the naked eye. However, what made Mangu wary was not the other party's appearance, but the height of the other party, which was nearly ten meters away. Body type,
Giants are very sensitive to height and shape, because the strength of giants is almost directly related to their height. The average height of ordinary snow giant warriors is about seven meters, and their strength comparison is equivalent to that of mid-to-high-level knights, like eight A meter-level Xiaoman is equivalent to a great knight whose peak strength is infinitely close to that of the earth.
The nine-meter-level Mangu is already a proper earth level, and the strength stratification is quite obvious. However, the giant on Richard's side is close to ten meters, which makes Mangu feel a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, I am much stronger now than before. Man Gu mobilized the magic power in his body a little, and felt relieved after feeling the surge of this strange power.
"Who are you! This is the hunting ground of the Bingyan Tribe, leave immediately!"
If only Richard and others were leading the army, Mangu might not be so polite and would directly drive them away by force. However, because of the existence of the giant, Mangu calmed down his temper a little and tried to expel the opponent through words.
"Are there only so many people?"
The snow giant's height is difficult to hide in the wilderness without shelter. There is no possibility of an ambush. Yu Si has a rough understanding of the snow giant's strength. After all, it has been such a long period of intelligence collection work. , Yu Sidu is not just for a living.
Looking at the number of snow giants and the thousands of troops behind him, Richard felt for the first time that he seemed to be making a fuss out of a molehill.
"I am Richard, the Ping Yehou of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, and now it is you who have broken into my territory!"
Richard rode the Flying Dragon King up into the air, stopped at a height where he could overlook the snow giant opposite, and began to speak some high-sounding words.
Speaking of which, there is no language barrier between snow giants and humans. The continent was once unified under the banner of the Elf Empire. Although the languages of various ethnic groups are complicated, some intelligent races have learned the common language of the continent.
The intelligent races at that time included giants and orcs. Even though the elven empire had collapsed, this language was passed down. If there were any differences, they were just local accent differences in the same language. There was no problem in communication. .
"How can our hunting ground be your territory? We only obey the orders of the Snow Giant King, and your kingdom has nothing to do with us."
Li Cha was too lazy to waste words. This kind of thing was completely unreasonable. After a few test sentences to see if there was a possibility that the other party was a fool, his goal was achieved. It was obvious that the other party had a very clear idea. There is no such thing as a giant with great strength, recklessness and easy deception.
As Richard returned to the formation, Elena and the champion knights had begun to form an array. The giant clenched his fists, and the long-range shooters set up their arrows. This kind of thing must be done eventually. Only then did we know the result.
When the snow giants saw this posture, they were naturally ready for battle, but there were few of them, and their attention was mainly focused on the giants on Richard's side.
"I'll deal with the giants on the other side later, and you guys drive those bugs away!"
"Xiao Man, please pay attention to the leader riding on the back of the Yalong opposite."
"Yes!"
"Okay! Don't worry, leader!"
The snow giants who were assigned to deal with the human soldiers seemed quite confident. For them, the only two things worth noting were the giants opposite and the medium-sized dragon.
It’s no wonder that the snow giants are contemptuous of them. After all, they have too little contact with humans and have no sources of intelligence. They have almost no knowledge of humans. Judging from their standards for judging strength, humans can easily crush them. A weak chicken under pressure.
"Drink, yeah!"
As Elena and the champion knights began to charge, a dozen snow giant warriors also began to run. They were very confident that they could kick away these dwarfs who were as tall as their waists.
On the other side, Mangu held a stone spear and stared closely at the giant who was walking slowly and unhurriedly. In his eyes, this was the enemy he needed to pay attention to in this battle...
