The knight in the abyss

Chapter 569 The Footsteps of War

In the following days, two more similar ambushes took place, with similar results.Under the circumstances that no one could contend against Georgard, the minions of the abyss lord were dying in vain, and the result of the battle was far less than the price they paid.

As a former commander, Lancelow has been thinking about how to deal with this situation if he were himself.There is no problem with the ambush itself, but the positions may be more dispersed, which can reduce the lethality of the lightning-throwing guns of the descendants of the gods; the second and third positions can also be arranged at high places to form a layered firepower network...

But not to mention how resolute the army is to implement such tactics, even under the best circumstances, the battle loss ratio can barely reach the level of one to one, and Georgard's point is still unsolvable, unless the ordinary The soldiers used their lives to fill in hard.Obviously, in this multiverse where supernatural forces and divine creatures exist, the familiar wars of human chivalry seem to have new faces, but fortunately, the core remains the same—the competition for interests.

From this point of view, the war is still the same war, only the form has changed, and nothing has actually changed.

After three ineffective ambushes, Kostchurch's minions never organized new blocking battles, but they continued to send small groups of scouts to harass them.Judging from this obviously organized action, Lancelow deduces that the power loyal to the Prince of Wrath has not yet collapsed. The other party probably intends to fight a decisive battle in front of the Glacier Fortress, where there is also the ancient white dragon Slavnir. Perhaps it thinks He is enough to compete with Georgard.

Frost giants from Glacier Fortress were not the only ones who came to investigate. As Georgard's army got closer and closer to the end point, many outside forces turned their attention to this level.Relying on his keen spiritual sense, Lancelot spotted wandering gnoll squads and spider elves walking through the shadows more than once, and also saw one or two from a distance wearing full plate armor exuding a strong smell of death. The angry skeleton knight.

Obviously, the lords of other levels of the abyss are paying attention to the possible changes in rights at this level.As we all know, because of the permanent portal to the upper plane, the Iron Ice Field has always been coveted by many forces in the abyss, and Kostchurch's hostile attitude towards other demons is actually a kind of protection to some extent.

Due to the intricate power struggle in the abyss plane, all parties acquiesced to Kostchurch's attitude in the past. No one took the initiative to provoke the angry prince, fearing that the enemy would take advantage of it in the conflict with it.If Georgard seizes control of the Iron Ice Field, it may be the same as before in the short term, actively preventing any forces from gaining a foothold at this level, but if it takes a long time...

Those who can become abyss lords are not fools. From now on, they need to observe Georgard, a potential abyss lord's personal preferences, ways of doing things, and interests, and evaluate whether the gods are worthy of use, or must be eliminated in the bud. threaten.However, for Lancelot, these 'observers' acted very low-key, so there was no conflict with everyone.

In addition, there are some observers from other planes—from time to time, in the sky, there are elegant figures with holy light and wings flying over them. They are angels born from the essence of the good god's astral world. Ordered to observe this war that may threaten the safety of the upper planes.

There were a lot of spectators, but the protagonists of this big drama didn't care about it.Georgard would let the army advance about fifty miles a day, which would take about eight hours for a giant (including lunch time), and then he would give the order to set up camp.After setting up camp, the Godborn will often give a speech full of promises of victory and glory, and then perform giant 'traditional' events such as stone throwing and wrestling in full view, thereby strengthening the worship of his followers.

Although it has exceeded the upper limit of spiritual perception, Lancelot can still see that the descendants of the gods are still getting stronger.The stones he threw became farther and heavier, and when wrestling with other frost giants, he could even lift them into the air with one hand.Undoubtedly, more and more powers of faith are gathering on Him, and Alamir even asserted that there is only one last step before Georgard becomes.

He needs to accomplish something to make his name known throughout the multiverse.Obviously, breaking through the glacier fortress and seizing control of a level of the abyss fully meets such conditions.

It took Lancelot and the others five days to walk from Stoddt's Gate to the Glacier Fortress in a sleigh pulled by a werewolf, while Georgard's giants walked on a flat road, but it took them three times as long. The time has just arrived, and the owners of this place have been waiting for a long time.

In front of the ice palace between the two peaks, the frost giants who swear allegiance to the Prince of Wrath have gathered from various places on this level. More than double the followers.

But everyone knew very well that the key to the outcome was the duel between the Titan and the ancient white dragon.In the case of a huge disadvantage in military strength, Georgard's only chance to win is to defeat Swafnir, and he can't pay too much. Otherwise, even if he is as strong as a godborn, he will be overwhelmed by endless enemies.

Of course, with Georgard's strength, there is no problem if he wants to escape. Even if he dies in battle, he still has a chance to be resurrected by his brother.It's just that in this way, his personal ambitions will be completely shattered, and this kind of failure is a great blow to his reputation, and I'm afraid there will be no chance of becoming a god in the future.

But Lancelow faintly felt that this might be the ending that the God of the Frost Giants wanted to see, and in the conversation with his companions and the succubus lord, everyone agreed with this view.Tijana also reminded him that other forces in the abyss have no special inclination towards the conflicting parties, and some even hope that Georgard will win the final victory (Kostchurch's popularity is really, very, very bad), but they must In the event of a costly victory, this would give them a chance to bargain with the new pit lord.

Georgard's army arrived in the afternoon, and they set up camp five miles away from the glacier fortress, which was less than an hour's footsteps for a giant.Although the distance was so close, neither of the warring parties made any tentative attacks, but concentrated on making various preparations before the battle.

Everyone knows that the final decisive battle will start after the sun rises the next day, and for Lancelot and his partners, that is also the time for them to act.They did so much work, including investigation and rescue, and even rushed into the battlefield among the giants themselves, in order to create a chance to sneak into the glacier fortress.

It's just that the battle seems a bit too big.
