The knight in the abyss

Chapter 567
"Okay, friends, let's go too." Lancelot turned to his partner and said, "The location of this cave has been completely exposed. We have to find a new hiding place."

"Have you finished chatting with Tijana?" Brutal looked at him with a smirk on his face, "You rejected the proposal of that blue-haired beauty, didn't you make her very happy?"

"You know all this?" Lancelot looked at the others with some embarrassment, "Is it so obvious..."

"Anyone who sees the smirk on your face just now can guess what's going on." Aramir spread his hands, "And from my professional point of view, the two of you probably talked a little bit... A more exciting subject."

"Shut up, Priest of Sune." Lancelot covered his face, "For the sake of saving you."

Five days later, Georgard's army had exceeded [-]. Although frost giants continued to appear from the portal, Lancelot predicted that the gods would leave soon.For the simple reason that without external enemies to distract him, his army would soon be self-destructing in internal strife.

In some respects, frost giants are very similar to demons, each a pompous, defiant creature with a flouting attitude towards rules and orders.But in the society of demons, high-level demons have a crushing advantage over low-level demons in terms of strength, which can instead establish a distorted order.

However, the strength gap between the frost giants was not that great. When such a large group of frost giants gathered together, they always had to distinguish between each other, and the degree of chaos could be imagined.

During these five days, everyone saw at least three large-scale group fights in which more than half of the frost giants participated. The cause was often bragging about past achievements, or stupid reasons such as wrestling and stone throwing competitions.As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Georgard admired the bravery and ruthlessness of the followers at first, and even applauded loudly for both sides in the battle, but after a large-scale brawl in which more than 30 frost giants died, The prodigy couldn't laugh anymore.

On the morning of the seventh day, the giant army finally set off in mighty strength.They marched all the way west, and their goal was the glacier fortress, the lair of the abyss lord.Lancelot and his party also set off together, but they did not go directly to the end point through teleportation magic and waited. In order to grasp the latest situation, they chose to advance in parallel with the army of the descendants of the gods.

The difference is that Ge Georgard led his army on the flat road in the valley, while Lancelow and his party walked on the steep ridge.Fortunately, the frost giants did not go fast, and Lancelot and his partners had many supernatural abilities and tools, so this journey was not too difficult.
-
"These guys have good equipment." Brutal breathed out on his palms, and then quickly rubbed them to generate heat, "It's completely different from the style of Kostchurch's minions."

Everyone was standing on the top of a mountain at the moment, overlooking the marching army below.Looking down from a height, Georgard's army is simply a forest with legs, but every tree in the forest is hung with armor and weapons, which looks dangerous and weird.

"Because the enemies we face are different." The old Rep beside him explained.Lancelow asked everyone to take a rest in this place with a great view, so the old Lepp changed back to the human form, "When we small races face giants, we always try to find a way to release the giants first." Then attack their fragile heads and necks, so the giants have learned to focus on the lower body for protection, such as wearing thick boots, wearing greaves, and wearing fur or metal belts that can protect the abdomen. The frost giants are always waiting for the opportunity to go to the material plane to rob, so they are all dressed in this way, and the frost giants from the upper plane are obviously prepared. When they step into the gate of Stoddt, they are very Know what kind of enemy you are facing."

"I have to say, these big guys look really murderous when fully armed." Brutal turned his head and looked at Lancelot, "When we went to the Glacier Fortress last time, how many frost giants were stationed there? "

"No more than five hundred." Lancelot shrugged, "but I guess this number is only a small part of Koschurch's minions."

"That's true." Kara Lin also spoke. As a scholar who studies the abyss, he still has a say in the situation inside the steel ice field, "Kostchurch always recruits loyalists in units of tribes, and usually these tribes will Wander around every corner of the Iron Ice Field, waiting for random portals to go to other worlds to plunder. In addition, Kostchurch's irritable character is one of the reasons why there are few people there. When it is angry, even the most loyal Subordinates will also be destructively angered, which is why it has the title of angry prince."

"By the way, I've always been curious, how did Kostchurch make the frost giant abandon Solem and swear allegiance to himself?" Lancelot also asked curiously, "I can't just send a few Skord poets, Brag about your deeds among the tribe of frost giants..."

"It's an out-and-out demon, and its behavior is much rougher." The scholar shook his head with a smile, "According to many observation reports, the typical process of recruiting a tribe by the angry prince is like this: it will first Appear as an ordinary giant, then challenge and kill the tribal leader, because in the frost giant's concept, combat power is above all else. After confirming the leadership in this way, Kostchurch will lead the tribe Wage a war against their enemies to see if the tribe members are 'worthy' to serve them. If the result satisfies it, the Prince of Wrath will open the portal to the Abyss, granting the victor to serve him forever in the Iron Ice Fields glory."

"So that tribe...abandoned their belief in Solem?" Lancelow asked in surprise, "Isn't this a bit too...casual."

"This question... How should I put it? First of all, the frost giants are definitely not the smartest type of giants, and they worship power extremely. Compared with the aloof Solem, Koscher who came to their side and helped them solve their feud Oddities are much more attractive, and even without them, immortality itself is a temptation enough to drive these inherently evil creatures away from their original beliefs."

"Well, it sounds similar to the reason why the gray dwarves fell." Brutal nodded thoughtfully, "During the battle at Stoddt's Gate, Georgard let go of too many Enemy, at this moment, I am afraid that the residents of the entire level know that he is out of trouble and is about to attack Kostchurch's lair. I don't know if the frost giants who swore allegiance to the abyss lord will really keep their oath and go to defend the glacier fortress Woolen cloth?"

"I already know the answer to this question." Lancelot pointed to the valley in front of him, "There is a reason why I let everyone rest here. Pay attention to the ice sticking out of the snow. It's abrupt, maybe it's too much..."
