Chapter 588 The Battle of Giants

Maguire is a knight who serves in the Third Guard Knights of Langton. He is now a great knight. As long as he accumulates more merits, he can become the new captain when the captain retires or there is a vacancy for the captain in the regiment.

It is also because of this that Maguire is eager to make achievements on the battlefield.

When Perfectot selected great knights from various knightly orders to carry out the cleaning mission of the outer urban area, Maguire took the initiative to choose to sign up.

The Third Guard Knights of Langton are not the main force guarding Langton, so the equipment of the Knights is updated relatively slowly.

After several major knight groups had completed the replacement of steam knight armor, it was their turn to start replacing their armor, and only the great knights could be allocated a set of steam knight armor.

As one of the few great knights in the regiment, he naturally has a steam knight armor.

Maguire was full of praise for it. In his opinion, as long as he put on this armor, he would have nothing to be afraid of.

But today, as he and his Steam Knight armor were dropped to the ground, and as he moved forward together with the huge God-killing armor that was so huge that he had to look up to see it above his head, and joined in the battle against the evil cult, Maguire felt that he might have overestimated his courage.

Because the battlefield before him was beyond his imagination, it was as if the mythological era had returned and the legendary monsters were fighting in front of him.

Four giants more than ten meters tall were fighting each other. The sound of their weapons colliding was enough to make Maguire dizzy, not to mention that every step these four giants took could crush several houses, and even crush the originally frozen ice, making the Steam Knight unstable.

In this situation, no matter how much Maguire wanted to achieve success, he really couldn't muster up the courage to charge towards the two purple giants.

But as a knight, he still tried his best to contribute to this battle, so he dodged the four fighting giants, jumped onto the top of a relatively sturdy building, set up the recoilless cannon in his hand, and began to attack one of the purple giants.

Although the shells hit the target accurately, unfortunately the power of the recoilless gun seemed to be a little too small, and basically did not cause any damage to the purple giant.

This made Maquelton feel frustrated. Couldn't he even participate in such a battle?

It has to be said that for the four fighting giants, it is really impossible for the Steam Knights, whose feet may not even be as high as their feet, to participate in the battle.

Whether it is the God-killing Armor or the two purple giants in front of them, they both have a large enough size and defense to withstand the damage caused by the Steam Knight's attack.

But Maguire did not feel discouraged. He simply threw away the recoilless gun in his hand and instead drew out the family heirloom knight sword he brought with him.

If it is a normal-sized knight sword, it is naturally impossible to use it with the steam knight armor, because the size of most knight swords is not enough for the steam knight to hold it in his hand. Even a two-handed greatsword is as light as a one-handed sword in the hands of a steam knight.

But the sword in Maguire's hand is much larger than the average knight's sword. In addition, he specially recast the sword after becoming a steam knight. Now it fits perfectly in the hand of the steam armor.

With a sword in his hand, Maguire felt a surge of confidence in his heart. He firmly believed that there was nothing that the sword in his hand could not cut.

So he rushed towards one of the purple giants without hesitation.

During the charge, Maguire felt like a hero in a knight's novel charging towards dragons, monsters and demons, full of courage and fearlessness. Along the way, he avoided the impact of the constant trampling from the eight legs of the four giants and rushed to the front of the purple giant along the broken ice.

Looking closely, he saw that the legs of the purple giant were in the shape of sheep's hooves. Maguire did not hesitate, and rushed forward, then jumped high, holding up his family heirloom knight sword, and chopped down at the ankle of the purple giant in front of him.

There was no way. Although the Steam Knight was more than two meters tall, he was still too short compared to the giant who was more than ten meters tall.

Even if Maguire had tried his best to jump, the height he could reach was only the calf and ankle of the purple giant, so he slashed at the ankle of the purple giant with his sword without hesitation.

Because he once heard an ancient legend from the mythological era, which said that there was a hero who was invulnerable to swords and guns, but he died because he was stabbed in the ankle.

So, he subconsciously thought that this was the weak point of the purple giant.

Then he swung his sword, striking the purple giant fiercely on the ankle.

I have to say that Maguire's sword did have some effect. At least his sword cut into the purple giant's skin instead of being bounced off directly.

But it is not certain how effective this sword is, because even though Maguire's sword penetrated several inches and seemed to have cut a big hole, compared with the huge size of the purple giant, it was still just an insignificant little hole.

It's like if someone pokes your heel with a toothpick. Even if the toothpick goes in, you'll just feel a lot of pain, and it's hard to say that it's caused you great harm.

The same went for the purple giant. Maguire's powerful attack only made him cry out in pain and stagger.

Although Maguire's attack did not cause huge damage, it created an opportunity for the Claw Wolf who was fighting with the purple giant to attack. The axe in his hand once again turned into a giant sword, and then released a powerful slash!

With just one sword, a huge wound was left on the chest of the purple giant, which almost went from the shoulder to the side abdomen. It was so deep that the bone was visible, and even the internal organs were faintly exposed.

Seeing this, Maguire also hurriedly retreated. In this kind of giant-level battle, his presence was too weak. He might be caught in the aftermath of the battle between the two sides and die silently.

Although Maguire really wants to achieve great things and become a hero, this is not the way to do it.

Although Maguire knows how to advance and retreat according to the situation, not every knight who participates in the battle can have such restraint.

A knight who seemed to be too excited saw that Maguire's attack was effective, so he wanted to follow suit and rushed towards the purple giant who had already been severely injured.

He also took advantage of the rubble of the surrounding buildings that had not yet completely collapsed, and flew high into the air, trying to stab his weapon into the purple giant's thigh.

Then, he was grabbed by another pair of arms behind the purple giant, and was easily squeezed into a ball of iron-wrapped meat, becoming one of the knights who died today.
