Chapter 202 Killing
Tang Zhao, the stronghold of the giants, does not want to provoke them for the time being. They are not creatures without intelligence. Except for the humble giants at the bottom, the intelligence level of giants is no worse than any intelligent creature. It is very problematic to do it rashly.

He only intends to attack the giant's robbery gang, and there are double-digit giant robbery teams operating around the seaport occupied by giants.

Unlike the sahuagin, murlocs only plunder property and supplies, and have little interest in population, but giants are different. As long as a giant leader is a little smarter, he will wantonly plunder the population of other races in the surrounding area. , as his own slave.

Generally speaking, the more powerful creatures are, the more difficult it is to reproduce. The level of creatures like giants is not low, and the population growth rate may be slower than that of dwarves.

When the population is seriously underpopulated, they will plunder and enslave other races to supplement their labor force.

A large number of the surrounding population has been transferred away, and the giant's raiding team is gradually going deep into the inland and expanding to the coastline.

The first elite troops of the elves are already in place. Before the agreement was reached, the two sides clearly agreed that the elves would not participate in the disputes between the Nirn people, and would only be responsible for helping them deal with the troubles related to the giants. The governor here also agreed and signed the agreement secretly. protocol.

Tang Zhao saw all this in his eyes, and only felt that the governor's autonomy here was a bit too much, and he could decide this kind of thing by himself.

With the assistance of the giant eagle controlled by the elves, Tang Zhao has a high degree of mastery of the surrounding environment, and he can easily grasp the approximate position of the enemy while flying in the sky.

The giant's eyesight is at the level of a normal creature. Several elf mages hovered in the sky with Tang Zhao, observing the ground through a magical instrument similar to a telescope, but they never found it.

Before doing it, Tang Zhao wanted to actually observe their behavior so that he could do it next.

The raider team he was eyeing had a total of six giants, all of them fire giants, with dark red skin, at least seven or eight meters tall, quite large in size, and their actual weight was of the same order as Tang Zhao's.

Considering that the opponent is also a race that is good at brute force, Tang Zhao also needs to preserve his state, and he can't always use the injury-for-injury style of play, which is not easy to handle.

Saying hello to the giant eagle rider who was carrying him, the other party immediately understood, began to dive at high speed, and dropped the shrunken Tang Zhao down like a bomb.

The elf's ability to control the mount was very superb, and he accurately cast the Tang Dynasty directly above the leader of the fire giant who was wearing refined armor.

Growing in size, Tang Zhao fell from the sky and landed on the head of the leader of the fire giant. His sharp claws embedded in the giant's shoulders, and the huge weight overwhelmed the fire giant who was caught off guard. Tang Zhao then opened his mouth, bit the opponent's neck, and closed his muscles. With force, he began to bite the opponent's cervical spine like a hydraulic machine.

The fire giant's skin is quite tough, and it took a lot of effort to sip. Tang Zhao used some strength to pierce the opponent's skin. He couldn't even crush the opponent's bones in a short time, so he had to cut the opponent's throat. After a successful blow, Tang Zhao didn't stay for long, and jumped away before the other fire giants reacted to attack, confronting the remaining fire giants.

Although the fire giant's defense was high, its vitality was still at the level of a normal creature. He clutched his throat and uttered inaudible words, and fell down after a while.

Now the situation is one-on-five. Facing a creature of Tang Zhao's size, the fire giant took off the short spear it carried on its back and threw it at him.

The biggest advantage of the humanoid structure is this. It can use tools freely and make throwing attacks. The ancients could even hunt elephants with javelins.

Tang Zhao dodged most of them, but he was still shot twice. With the protection of the scales, he didn't hit a vital point, but it was not comfortable.

Fortunately, the imaginary enemies of these fire giants are human militias and adventurers, so some slack was not armed to the teeth. Only two fire giants brought a few javelins. After all, their plan was not to deal with large creatures. Javelins are exhausted.

Tang Zhao snapped off the shot javelins one by one with their tails to prevent the opponent from using them again. Now the fire giant is more likely to fight Tang Zhao in close combat.

The fire giants made a few gestures to each other, and then arranged a hunting formation very tacitly, and rushed forward.

Tang Zhao had an advantage in explosive speed, but he didn't directly distance himself from the opponent, but deliberately kept a certain distance from the opponent, which could arouse the opponent's desire to chase.

At the same time, he also shoots thorns behind him from time to time. Although they can't kill them, they can still leave blood holes on the bodies of the fire giants. The venom contained in the thorns can further weaken the enemy.

You chased me and ran for a long distance. It seemed that Tang Zhao was exhausted, and his speed slowed down. The fire giants were completely enraged. With weapons in their hands, they all sped up and prepared to attack violently.

Creatures will lose their minds when they are angry, just like they are now, their attention is all on Tang Zhao, and they don't look at the top of their heads at all.

A total of dozens of giant eagles in several formations are swooping down from a distance. Each giant eagle carries two people on its back, a rider and a spellcaster. A sharp steel awl.

The material of this cone is the same as that of the "Black Arrow" fabricated by Tang Zhao. It is high-quality metal plus scale powder. A group of giant eagles transported these cones from Karak Solma to the Principality of Nairn overnight.

Magic is a very convenient ability. It is impossible for a creature of the size of a giant eagle to have a ballista that can pierce the skin of a fire giant, but through the power of magic, it can still launch similar things.

After getting close to a certain distance, the leading giant eagle rider blew his whistle, and the casters shot out the cones they were controlling.

With the blessing of gravitational potential energy, these steel cones are more powerful than before, and can easily pierce the armor and skin of the fire giant, and even directly penetrate it.

The elves' dynamic vision and responsiveness are outstanding among all races. The elves sent this time are all elite among them. Gang Cone's hit rate is very high, and it can approach [-]% when shooting at high speed.

Three fire giants were nailed through their vitals and died on the spot, and the remaining two were also seriously injured and barely supported.

Tang Zhao popped out his claws, embedded them in the soil under his feet, quickly stopped the car, and then turned around as if to pounce on the fire giant.

The fire giant has a good will to fight and wants to fight trapped beasts. In order to avoid damage, Tang Zhao directly sprayed them with poison. During the entanglement with the fire giant, the elves started the second round of shooting, and the remaining two fire giants also was shot into a sieve.

After Tang Zhao confirmed that the other party had really died completely, he called the elves to land and began to clean the battlefield.

Cut off the right thumb of each fire giant as proof of killing, Tang Zhao also had to dispose of the corpses in order to prevent his tactics from being revealed so quickly.

The fire giant is highly resistant to flames and cannot use flames to destroy corpses. Tang Zhao chose to dig holes to bury the corpses.

The reason why he can win so easily is because of poor information. The opponent is not prepared, and if he is given time to react, his actions will definitely not be so smooth.

If these fire giants were all equipped with shields, or were looking for cover, the effect of the attack would be reduced. If they brought more than a dozen javelins, Tang Zhao would probably be shot into a sieve first.

Not to mention that according to human information, there are cloud giants among the giants dispatched this time. They can not only fly, but also use a lot of magic related to the sky. Encountering this kind of opponent while preparing for the situation will not end well.

[Did the surrounding scouts find other fire giants? 】

Tang Zhao looked at the elf commander, who was responsible for the deployment of the entire operation.

"There are several, and some of them have already been obtained, and they are returning with their spoils."

[How is the wear and tear of the weapon? 】

"It's still within the acceptable limit. Five of the sharp cones were worn and broken. Considering that even if they are broken, they still hurt, it's not a big problem, and there are still spare ones that are useless."

【Okay, take me there and use the same tactics to kill another team. 】

"Is your body okay?"

The Elf Commander looked at Tang Zhao with a slightly concerned look. The wound on his body was deep enough to see the bone, and he didn't seem to be all right.

[The problem is not big, it can still be supported, and it will be treated after returning home.Once they meet, they will lose one-tenth of the opponent's available troops, and it can also serve as a deterrent. This opportunity is hard to find and cannot be wasted. 】

"I understand."
-
Afterwards, Tang Zhao repeated his old trick and used the same trick to annihilate a group of looting teams, and his injuries aggravated a bit. To be on the safe side, he didn't force himself to do things anymore, and went back home to recuperate.

There were tangible results, and the morale of mankind was greatly boosted. The Governor of the Northern Province generously offered a large sum of money as a thank you, and gave Tang Zhao the best possible treatment.

[The question now, how long will it take for you to be ready.I can only carry out this kind of surprise attack once, and the opponent will be prepared after that time. I have tried my best to cover it up, but the opponent still sees that our trump card is an air attack. 】

"Conventional military strength is enough, anyway, it is just a cover to attract attention, but the number of middle and high-level powerhouses is far from enough."

Lin En didn't want to put the treasure on Tang Zhao, an outsider, and had to rely on their own strength to solve the main problem.

[Let’s not talk about those who are far away. Don’t your Grand Duke and Counselor support this kind of thing? 】

"Be patient. The people in the capital are negotiating with the chief mage. If he nods, things will be much easier. In fact, the main problem is not whether we can deal with these giants. No matter how weak we are, we still have the ability to deal with a hundred giants. The main thing is The question is what is the deep meaning behind this behavior."

The giants are led by a cloud giant. The giant society is a caste system. The cloud giants are very high-ranking and very rare in number, second only to the tallest storm giant.

Whether their behavior is an individual's private action or the instruction of the giant as a whole, the human beings are hesitant because of this concern.

[After you have power and wealth, you will worry too much, don't care who is behind it, the most important thing is to get rid of the enemy in front of you, otherwise it is the most idiot to sit and wait for death. 】

It can be seen that some human beings want to suppress the situation, but this is completely meaningless, and it is not human beings who provoke the incident.

"I don't deny that"

[Forget it, let's not talk about this, is there any new trend on the giant side? 】

"After you and the elves killed the twelve giants, their actions became much more cautious, and the frequency and efficiency of looting were greatly reduced.

I suspect that those giants have the possibility of withdrawing, otherwise, with their current number, their ability is not enough to be compared with a human principality for the time being. "

[Then what do you think, let them go? 】

"No, I think they should be killed as much as possible, and it would be best to wipe them all out."

[What is the reason? 】

"What reason can there be?" Lin En chuckled: "I am a human being, and those giants wantonly killed my compatriots. Of course I would be dissatisfied and want them to pay the price."

[This reason is quite reasonable, but it seems that the matter is not something that can be solved at our level, let's see what happens next. 】
-
After another few days of ink smearing, the reinforcements from the capital came late, which made people dissatisfied in terms of time, but in terms of quality, it was quite good.The leader of the team is one of the country's chief magicians, with a sixth-level spellcasting ability, and there are also multiple fifth-level spellcasters.

This country has a large number of mid-to-high-end spellcasters, which is even better than Oran. Compared with Oran, a country that focuses on conventional military power, it has an advantage in facing giants.

Someone stronger and more legitimate than himself came, Tang Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and followed Leina and others to rest in the residence with peace of mind.

Within a few days of this kind of day, another major event happened.

A group of people were released from the occupied harbor, all carrying the same letter - the cloud giant Tugrik asked for formal negotiations with humans.

As soon as this remark came out, it caused controversy among humans, and those who supported going to understand the situation barely gained the upper hand, but no specific personnel have been selected yet.

Tang Zhao originally didn't want to follow, but Lena insisted on going there. The person he received from the elf was to ensure safety, so he could only follow.

Turning into a small lizard and lying on Leina's shoulder, Tang Zhao boarded a luxuriously decorated carriage and headed to the meeting place written in the other party's letter.

The meeting place was chosen in an abandoned town on the outskirts of the harbour. Both parties should really want to negotiate, and they didn't bring many people with them on the surface.

The cloud giant Tugrik is a giant over 12 meters tall, wearing luxurious armor, with a handsome face in the eyes of humans, and proficient in many magics related to clouds.

The first time he observed the cloud giant, he himself was being observed.

Tugrik looked at Tang Zhao, and said in a seemingly casual tone: "You intercepted and killed my men on the way, right? You really have some skills, and you are not bad."

[Let’s say thank you for the compliment. 】

Tang Zhao said something casually, then stopped talking, quietly lying on the side watching the play, observing the development of the situation.

If it's really necessary, just run away with Reina on your back, it's easy for the two of you to talk about.
