The knight in the abyss

Chapter 508 Reappearance
The dwarf's exclamation was not without reason.A huge gap divided the vast snowfield in front of everyone's eyes into two, and the fortress that imprisoned the god brother of the frost giant stood on a protruding cliff at the edge of the gap.Seen from a distance, the cliff looks like a dagger inserted obliquely into the ground, and the fortress is the jewel at the end of the dagger's handle.The attacker had to walk upwards from the tip of the 'dagger' and cross a steep hillside more than a mile long before arriving at the gate of the fortress, all exposed to long-range strikes from the defenders.

At this moment, more than a hundred frost giants had gathered at the bottom of the cliff, and their cloaks and armors all had the emblem of the blue-and-white double-edged axe, which was the symbol of the god of frost giants, Solem.Meanwhile, Kostchurch's minions completely abandoned the surrounding area, choosing to hide in a solid fortress to wait for work.Considering that this place is their home field after all, although they lost a bit of momentum by doing so, it is still a very reasonable choice tactically.

The frost giants gathered in the fortress at the foot of the cliff seemed to be waiting for something, but they seemed ready to attack at any moment.This army composed entirely of giants is extremely shocking, and it looks like a scene that only appears in fairy tales from a distance.Lancelot's height of nearly seven feet already made him stand out from the crowd most of the time, but the shortest frost giant was as tall as three human knights.If the target of their attack is a fortress on the plain, just relying on the stone throwing attack that the giants are good at can smash any fortification into ruins.

At this moment, a team of dozens of people appeared on the northwest horizon, all of them were frost giants riding on the back of a huge mammoth, and quickly approached the team gathered on the plain.

Looking at the team, Lancelot's eyebrows gradually frowned, because he clearly saw that the frost giant riding at the front of the team also had brilliant blond hair.

"That's... the frost giant priestess we saw before?" Aramiel cast a puzzled look at Lancelot, "Didn't you say that this female giant came to the door the night we camped at the Georgard Gate? Come, and was killed by you?"

"It's true, I helped dig the hole together, and I saw her body burnt to nothing." Brutal immediately said, "Did you put her in a relationship with another person at such a long distance?" The yellow-haired frost giant confused?"

"Well, I'm not sure, but she does look alike." Aramiel shrugged. "Maybe they're sisters or something?"

Lancelot suddenly had an idea in his mind, and pulled out the eight-foot-long giant ax from the dimension bag, and compared it with the weapon of the newly appeared female frost giant.

"Look, your ax blade is half-moon-shaped, and hers is crescent-shaped, completely different." Brutal immediately pointed out the difference between the two, "Don't worry, it's all burnt to ashes, even if that Getty is a very powerful priest, can he resurrect himself?"

"But I think it's the same person."

Lancelow looked at it for a while, but he was still a little uncertain. Even he wondered if it was true, as Aramiel said, that the frost giant named Getty had a twin sister?No matter what the truth is, he has already taken some preventive measures - the protection of the Frost Maiden is now stored in his dimensional bag, and he only uses it when he needs to activate cold resistance.According to Tijana, this will significantly increase the difficulty of tracking it, and it is unlikely that believers will come to the door based on the induction of the sacred object.

The arrival of the female frost giant was warmly welcomed, and she began to make a speech on the mammoth to the surrounding frost giants. From this distance, even Lancelot couldn't hear what she said (even if she could hear clearly understand), but judging from the unison roaring with the wind, it is probably some kind of inspiring words.

"It looks like they're about to start fighting." Brutal pushed Lancelot's elbow, "Brother, hurry up and open the half-plane door."

"Why, you want to hide in?" Lancelot turned to look at the dwarf unexpectedly, "Our distance is absolutely safe..."

"Do you think I'll miss that?" Brutal glared at him angrily, "I'm going to get the barrel of mead out! Hurry up, the fun is about to begin!"

Later, when each of the partners held a full beer glass in their hands, the frost giants gathered on the snow field also began to charge towards the fortress on the cliff.They formed a small team of four, each holding a two-handed giant shield in their hands, and moved forward quickly in a relatively loose formation.

Lancelot and the others were obviously not the only ones paying attention to the situation. The frost giant defenders in the fortress who were loyal to the abyss lord immediately took action.At least thirty frost giants began hurling down huge boulders, each as big as a round table.A human knight wearing a full body of plate armor would probably be seriously injured even if he was scratched. If he was completely hit, he might have confessed on the spot, and the armor could not be passed on to his heirs.

Under normal circumstances, frost giants would use stones with a diameter of less than one foot as throwing weapons. Using too heavy stones would not only significantly reduce the attack range, but also greatly reduce the frequency of attacks.But the defenders now have a huge terrain advantage: they only have to throw the rock a short distance, and gravity and the slope will do the rest for them.

In fact, the road leading to the fortress was deliberately processed into a structure with convex sides and a concave center, so that the rolling boulders could stay on the route of the attackers as much as possible.All the way down, these huge boulders are getting faster and faster, and from time to time they will suddenly bounce up because of their irregular appearance, and then fall heavily.When those boulders rolled in front of the charging frost giant, the kinetic energy had already accumulated to an extremely terrifying level.

The frost giant rushing to the front will not just stand there and wait.They carefully watched the boulders rolling from above, and adjusted their positions in time to avoid them.In fact, in the first wave of rolling stones, almost all the frost giants at the front were safe, but those in the middle and behind were not so lucky.Their line of sight was blocked, and it was too late when they discovered that the boulder was approaching, and the relatively denser formation also limited their range of movement, so they could only raise their shields in their hands, trying to counteract the rolling boulder head-on.

The result was naturally very bad.The boulder easily smashed those shields, and the crisp cracking sound could be heard from far away, and the frost giant behind the shield was like a candle rolled over by a red-hot iron ball, turning into a giant on the ground. An indistinct mass of flesh and blood.A boulder like this often requires three frost giant victims before it can be barely stopped by the No. 4 frost giant and pushed off the sides of the cliff.

"Based on what we see in front of us, this adventure is worth it." Brutal drank a big gulp of golden mead, raised his hand and casually wiped his wet beard, "Lance Luo, do we want to make a bet, how many frost giants can rush to the gate of the fortress in the end? I dare to swear on my beard, there will never be more than ten!"
