The natural empire of ocean dragons

Chapter 200 Loki, the weak Frost Giant cub
  In fact, it's because the Frost Giants are stupider than Attilan expected. The correct term should be stupid. After all, the Frost Giants' intelligence is above 9, and their brains are relatively fully developed.

It's just that such a high-end gameplay as guerrilla warfare has never appeared in the frost giant's war skills. Even the frost giants have encountered enemies using guerrilla warfare.

But the Frost Giants didn't have the habit of recording history, and they didn't even pay attention to the training of their descendants. They mostly took the giant boy to watch when they were hunting.

This is already a rare inheritance of experience. What is more, it is a barbaric fight to the death to eliminate weak cubs with no development potential.

Only cubs that are strong enough will be kept by the frost giants. Most of the frost cubs that are born weak will be abandoned directly, unless the giant tribe has too much food to eat.

Otherwise, the savage Frost Giants would not waste food to cultivate weak cubs.

The frost giants were not stupid. Only half of the more than two hundred frost giants lured out by the horses were killed and injured. The remaining giants returned to the camp in embarrassment and huddled up with arrows all over their bodies.

Attilan originally thought that he could use guerrilla tactics to divide the Frost Giants into small groups of twenty or thirty people, then concentrate his forces and use the advantage of numbers to eat all the Frost Giants.

But although the Frost Giant was ridiculed by the centaurs, the Frost Giant's escape speed was beyond his imagination. In other words, it is the true nature of the Frost Giant to run away decisively.

The source of the confidence and arrogance they showed before was the iron and leather armor given to them by the fire giant they were wearing, as well as protective equipment and iron weapons.

Even the dwarf heavy armored infantry with the strongest defense is just a slightly difficult meat can to them. When an ax is dropped, the can will be split into two.

But it was difficult for the dwarves to break through their defenses.

The dwarf gryphon knights also tried throwing battle axes and javelins from the air. First, they were not accurate enough. Second, these throwing weapons were too large and not fast enough. Most of them were blocked by the frost giants, so the killing effect was very poor. .

Unlike the arrows of centaurs, horses and elves, which are very fast and the shooting skills are very accurate, the armor that is very useful when facing dwarves cannot play its due role in front of them.

Before dying, the leader of the Frost Giant team who pursued the furthest released an ice ball into the sky. The brilliant brilliance after the explosion made the remaining Frost Giants decisively give up the pursuit.

Without hesitation, he turned around and ran away.

Even though Attilan immediately organized an army to pursue, he still only killed about twenty Frost Giants. In order to stop the Frost Giants as much as possible, the dwarves hiding in the mines took the initiative to come out and form an array on the Frost Giants' only way to escape.

Trying to hold back the escaping Frost Giants with their great steel wall.

The result is self-evident, they didn't stop the Frost Giant for long at all.

The Dwarf King listened to the Iron Guard Commander's report with a dark face.

"We killed seven Frost Giants and lost nearly three hundred Dwarf Guards. Why didn't you stay in the mine as instructed? Who asked you to come out!"

The Iron Guard commander was submissive and didn't know what to say for a while.

"So many iron guards died, why can you survive!"

Although the dwarf king wanted to chop this stupid guy to death with an axe, he was the brother of the dwarf princess after all. If he hacked his brother-in-law to death, the dwarf king estimated that he would not be able to sleep with the princess in the future.

And although he is stupid, he is covered in blood. In the battle just now, this stupid boy gave his best effort. He can survive because he is an excellent warrior.

Attilan smiled and came out to smooth things over.

"This general's strength is still very good, but his concept of frost giant war is still a bit outdated. After training, he may not be a talent."

The dwarf king was so angry that he kicked him.

"Get off!"

The brother-in-law got up from the ground. He knew that he had done something stupid and killed three hundred brothers. He deserved to be kicked.

It’s just that he didn’t understand why it was so easy for centaurs and elves to fight against the Frost Giants. He intercepted a group of escaping Frost Giants, but was defeated by the Frost Giants.

The dwarf king was about to cry but had no tears, so he could only say to Attilan with a mournful face:
  "Dragon Lord, I'll leave it to you to command the rest of the battle. Every dwarf's life is precious and cannot be lost like this anymore."

Counting these three hundred, the dwarves have lost more than [-] warriors. Adding in the civilians who were brutally killed by the Frost Giants before they had time to escape, the dwarves' losses have reached close to [-].

Damn the fire giants, without their help, the frost giants would not have easily crossed their western defense line.

"Don't worry, it's just that the dwarf Wang Qian needs to be prepared for a protracted war. There are more than [-] here, and the other two Frost Giants have more than [-] and [-] respectively."

"The total number of Frost Giants exceeds a thousand, right? Can these continuous snow peaks support so many Frost Giants?"

Dwarf Wang Tie said with a livid face:
  "The number of frost giants we fought with in the past was only about five hundred at most, and they were very scattered. They would not be concentrated like this because they couldn't come up with food to feed so many mouths at the same time."

"Every time they kill dozens or hundreds of old and weak people, they will take the initiative to retreat. But this time, they have killed and injured a hundred frost giants at once, and they just retreated to the camp."

"There is no intention of escaping at all, and these thousand frost giants seem to be all young and strong. In the past, they were led by old people and children on expeditions."

"It's unusual. It does hide a big problem. It seems that someone is specially taming these frost giants, waiting for them to play a role at the critical moment."

According to the dwarf king's knowledge, the higher snow peak where the frost giants live in the northwest of the mountain range is indeed one or two times larger than the dwarf kingdom. It is a problem to feed a thousand frost giants, even the old and the weak.

Not to mention feeding a thousand young people.

Attilan wondered, who would raise a bunch of frost giants?

In terms of individual strength, the Frost Giants are indeed powerful, but they are not high-quality soldiers. They have a loose personality and are used to swarming or launching attacks in a scattered manner.

And this group of frost giants has very obvious traces of artificial training.

"No matter what, as long as we defeat the Frost Giant, we will know who is behind it."

The dwarf king nodded and asked:

"Dragon Lord, what should we do next?"

"Go back to sleep and come out to greet these frost giants at night. By the way, what are the frost giants in the other two cities doing? There is no way they are also eating meat and sleeping in the camp, right?"

The dwarf king said with some embarrassment:

"That was true originally, but a few Frost Giants escaped in the direction of those two cities just now. There is a high probability that we will receive news that this camp was attacked by us tomorrow."

Attilan took a deep breath of cold air to clear his mind.

"Send an order to the dwarves in the other two cities to launch an attack on the frost giants tonight. You can throw axes and javelins at the giants' camps, and shout loudly, but you are not allowed to actually rush in."

"Gryphon Knights can throw fire oil from high altitudes to ignite the Frost Giants' camp. In short, they cannot let the Frost Giants sleep peacefully, but they must control their speed and don't really start a fight with them."

Attilan glanced at the dwarf iron guard who had not yet cleaned up the ground.

"You have seen the outcome. In short, let them remember this sentence: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue them. They must act strictly in accordance with the instructions."

After the dwarf king hesitated, he still said awkwardly:

"This...I'm afraid they won't understand."

Even though Attilan had tried his best to translate the sixteen-character mantra of guerrilla warfare to the dwarf king in a common language as easily as possible, guerrilla warfare seemed simple, but was quite complicated to implement.

The dwarf king tried his best to praise him, but Attilan was still not satisfied with the results of the battle. He was still too impatient and should have attacked first to avoid exhausting and injuring the frost giants as much as possible.

If the Frost Giants didn't have so much physical strength, they wouldn't be able to run away so much.

"I asked the elves and centaurs to go over and lead them to execute it for a few days. I think they will understand how to apply this strategy."

Centaur Zhui Feng came to report the battle situation. From his stern face, Attilan knew that the situation might be worse than he thought.

"Dragon Lord, according to the reports from the soldiers, we should have killed 112 Frost Giants, but when cleaning the battlefield, based on the corpses of the Frost Giants, there were only 97."

When the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield afterwards, they discovered that many of the bodies of the Frost Giants that had been lying on the ground had mysteriously disappeared.

Attilan said with a joking smile:

"What corpses are missing? Those Frost Giants are not dead at all. They just pretended to be dead to deceive us. We were busy chasing the ones who escaped just now and didn't check whether they were all dead."

Attilan originally thought that the Frost Giants had tenacious vitality and the attacks of centaurs and elves did not kill them directly. Many giants did die from the constant loss of life.

But there are still some who rely on the frost giant's natural ability to control ice and pretend to be dead to get through. After the horses and elves leave, they get up from the ground and flee towards the other two camps in embarrassment. There are one hundred Frost Giants left in this camp. If we want to capture them by force, the dwarves will suffer at least more than three thousand casualties. Although this camp is made of walls frozen by Frost Giants with stones and ice, it is still strong and durable.

It shouldn't be difficult for a giant of the same size to destroy such an ice stone wall, but Attilan would need some additional means if he wanted to destroy the wall.

Attilan would have gone crazy to actually attack the city.

"Give me constant harassment and force the Frost Giants to abandon this camp and escape."

Even if he rushes in, these Frost Giants may chop him into pieces if they swing their axes. This is not an exaggeration. The fire giant's ax and the strength of the frost giant can exert such a great effect.

Attilan's dragon scales were very defensive, but a battle ax as big as a door panel could cut off his neck with one strike.

Reality is not a game. If you hit your neck with an ax, you will not lose blood. There is a greater chance that it will be cut off by a sharp blade.

"Yes!"

Zhui Feng went down to make arrangements. The dwarf king's brother-in-law had just washed his face and knew that there was a mission tonight. He told Zhui Feng to take him with him no matter what.

The dwarf king heard his loud shouting and passed over with his ax in hand.

"Brother-in-law, you're not going to chop me, are you?"

The dwarf king chopped it down directly with the axe. Fortunately, his brother-in-law reacted quickly, and since he was not wearing armor, he rolled on the ground in a panic and escaped. While the dwarf king was pulling the ax out of the ground, his brother-in-law hurriedly moved towards Ati. Lan ran over.

"Lord Dragon, save me!"

"Don't think that if you go to the Dragon Lord, I won't deal with you today."

Attilan quickly stopped the dwarf king.

"King of the Dwarves. Your brother-in-law is just a hot-blooded man. If he is trained well, he can still become an outstanding general. Although it is seven to three hundred, the battle loss ratio is almost the same when the Frost Giant is not wearing armor. Bar."

The dwarf king was silent. If he hadn't seen Attilan commanding the troops, except for some unlucky guys who unfortunately fell off the cliff and died, or broke their legs or arms, there would have been less than ten people injured in the battle.

There were less than fifty people in total, but they killed sixty frost giants. His reaction would not be that big.

Don't think that Attilan has good intentions. He is indeed a brave general like the Dwarf King's brother-in-law, but he doesn't like to use his brain. This kind of enemy is best dealt with.

It's best to deal with such fools who don't know how to use their brains, have no hidden ideas, and fight tough battles single-mindedly.

Moreover, he is also the brother-in-law of the Dwarf King. By promoting him to the top, he can better alienate the lower class people from the Dwarf King. This is exactly what Yin Ring, a man from the market, can do to win over the people.

In this war, Attilan did not let Silver Ring participate in the frontal battlefield. His mission is to accurately distribute a batch of materials allocated by the kingdom to every dwarf woman and child who is suffering from military disaster and is starving.

Note that he handed the supplies to them with his own hands, and coupled with a few heart-warming words, Silver Ring's words were enough to warm them for a lifetime.

It is impossible for Silver Ring to win the support of the upper class nobles.

The people at the bottom are the target of the Silver Ring, or Attilan's goal, because he does not need a dwarf king who can secure the dwarf throne with the help of the nobles. What he needs is the Silver Ring who can secure the throne with his support!

Without him providing money and food, how could Yin Ring win over the people?
  The silver ring stood together with the people, which meant that he was on the opposite side of the nobles.

After three days of harassment, the Frost Giants, who were already restless because of the loss of half of their manpower, finally broke through.

"Remember, kill as many Frost Giants as possible, but don't stop them from escaping."

"understand!"

The brother-in-law replied to Attilan while riding a gryphon with his eyes shining.

Attilan wanted to give him a slap in the face, understand, he knew nothing, this kid was incompetent, which made Attilan even more convinced that his choice was right.

Just do whatever you want. The more elite dwarves you kill, the more secure your position will be, and the greater the people's resentment towards you will be, making you a suitable target for Qing Jun.

It's strange that three days have passed. The other two camps should have received the news from here long ago, but they didn't move.

I really don’t know where these frost giants received their military education. When friendly forces are in trouble, they remain as motionless as a mountain. Tsk tsk tsk~

"Let's go and see how much supplies the Frost Giants have left for us."

Because they were eager to escape, the Frost Giants did not take all the wealth collected from looting the dwarf villages with them. The camp they built after destroying the dwarf cities and collecting stones was almost completely preserved.

"With reinforcement, this place can also be used as our stronghold. The temperature here determines that this castle with ice will not collapse easily."

Suddenly, a baby's cry came from a tent in the center of the camp.

"Why are there children?"

Attilan was quite surprised.

The Dwarf King said:
  "It should be because there has been enough food recently. The frost giant just gave birth to a child. The absence of a child indicates that the child is not strong enough and was abandoned by his parents."

Attilan nodded and thought, that's right. For many races, warriors do not distinguish between men and women. They only depend on whether they can fight. It is now normal to go to the battlefield while pregnant.

"Go and see."

After the defeat of the war, Attilan suddenly felt very interesting about the weak Frost Giant cubs that were abandoned.

Sure enough, what appeared in front of them was a thin Frost Giant cub with blue-white skin and a thin and shriveled body. His cries quickly became weak.

Although it wasn’t particularly loud at first.

The dwarf king raised his ax and wanted to kill the cub.

Attilan quickly stopped him and said:

"As a Druid, I think this weak Frost Giant cub must be of great research value to my companions in the forest. So, can the Dwarf King leave him to me?"

The Dwarf King is very generous.

"Since the Dragon Lord wants it, I'll leave it to you."

In the heart of the dwarf king, this is just a slave, even a giant.

Moreover, the druid can ensure that he grows up safely, but that does not mean that such a weak cub will grow up to become a powerful frost giant.

Attilan grabbed the cub and placed it in the palm of his left hand. Out of spite, he decided to give the frost giant cub a resounding name.

"Loki, from now on you will be called Loki!"

They happened to be all Frost Giants. They were all abandoned by their parents after being defeated because of their weak bodies. At the same time, the people who adopted them were all the strongest men.

Attilan also hopes that this Loki can achieve as outstanding an achievement as the God of Mischief.

Of course it's not the mythical Loki, it's the movie Attilan used to watch.

A faint emerald green light enveloped Loki's body. Feeling the power of the light of life, Loki stopped crying and even had a smile on his lips.

A few drops of water of life dripped from the tips of Attilan's claws, and Loki suddenly chuckled.

The water of life is not to restore Loki's strength, but Attilan wants to reshape Loki's body, at least not to let him wear the blue-white skin that symbolizes the frost giant.

As the gleaming green light flashed, Attilan's accomplished life control transformation technique began to work on Loki. The blue in Loki's skin receded little by little, and white became dominant.

Loki's hair also turned into jet black and shiny black hair, and his size further shrank, becoming almost the same size as a human baby.

You wouldn't think that Attilan really adopted Loki out of spite. This weak Frost Giant cub was indeed the test subject that Attilan wanted.

Taishan's Titan power greatly needs the support of a giant-type life.

Starting today, Taishan needs to start learning to be a daddy.
