The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 122 Battle of the River Valley
The Sentinels watched as the giant army was about to enter the forest of the valley, but their reinforcements were still delayed.

The forest is a natural barrier, and it will be much more difficult for the human army to surround and kill giants in the forest.

The soldiers who were in charge of tracking were anxious, but with their current strength of less than a thousand troops and very few bows and arrows left, they could not stop the giant tribe at all.

"Ugh-"

Suddenly, a few horns sounded from a distance, distant and dull.

"Our army has finally arrived!" The soldiers said excitedly.

"Where are they?" The sentinel looked around strangely, but he never found the whereabouts of his army.

It stands to reason that the nearest reinforcements are the army of the Principality of Cabel, and they should have arrived long ago.

But in the end, only the official army of the Norman Empire came. Fortunately, the giants were still a long way from the valley forest, and humans could attack on the narrow path in front of the valley.

The giant captain Luke heard the horn and knew that the human army was coming. Reminiscent of the poisonous bows and arrows of humans, Luke hurriedly shouted at the giants behind him:

"Everyone, run to the forest!" (Giant language)
As long as they can fight in the forest, human archers are not much of a threat.

All the giants passed on the words to the giants behind them one by one, and everyone ran, and the river valley was filled with the sound of running giants' footsteps.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"

The horn sounded again, and on the hillsides on both sides of the valley, the soldiers of the Norman Empire who had been ambushing for a long time were all wearing light brown armor, well camouflaged behind the hillside.

"Prepare to attack!"

Lincoln, the new northern general of the Norman Empire, roared.

Lincoln is in charge of commanding the entire northern army. He is the son-in-law of the former general Sirona, and he has a high prestige in the army. Since Sirold was executed, he was elected as the new general of the northern border.

Catherine actually didn't want Lincoln to be the general. After all, Lincoln and the Sirona family are inextricably linked.

But Catherine had just taken office at that time, and her foundation was not stable. Many generals in the army refused to accept her. She had not yet achieved dictatorship, so she could only let the ministers choose someone who was not herself as the general of the northern border.

At this moment, the soldiers on both sides of the valley had already stood up one after another, densely packed the entire hillside.

Lincoln guessed that the giants would definitely enter the valley, and he had brought an army here ahead of time. At this time, a full 15 human soldiers were ambushed on the hillsides on both sides of the valley!

Including [-] archers scattered on various slopes, the rest are manipulating catapults, some are preparing to push down boulders, and many soldiers are preparing to push down barrels filled with strong wine.

At this time, almost all the giants entered the trails in the valley, and their IQs never imagined that humans would ambush on the hillsides on both sides.

At this moment, the human army occupied the high places on both sides, and the giants lined up and crowded the path, the situation was very critical.

Lincoln looked at the giant tribe entering the trap, smiled coldly, and immediately ordered the soldiers beside him to blow the horn of attack.

"Wow!"

Different from the previous ox horn, this is a horn made of large snails, and the sound is much louder and higher.

All the soldiers who heard the horn started to attack one after another.

All of a sudden, arrows rained all over the sky, stones continuously dropped by catapults, boulders rolling down the hillside at high speed, and barrels of wine all rushed towards the tribe of giants...

The giants felt threatened, and their eyes showed panic.

"careful!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Run!"

(giant language)

Everyone panicked, especially those female giants. Many of them still carried their children on their backs. Facing the rain of arrows, boulders and barrels rolling down, they all shouted in horror, wanting to fight for their lives. Protect the children behind you.

The gravitational potential energy brought by the height of the hill made the rocks extremely powerful. Many giants were broken by the rolling stones on the spot. If they hit the head, they would basically die on the spot.

Some brave adult giants even want to smash the boulder with their fists, but the result usually ends up in the shattering of their hand bones.

After many giants were poisoned by the poisoned arrows, they were poisoned to death on the spot, and many of them went into shock.

The wooden barrels filled with spirits are much less powerful, and it is usually not fatal to hit the giants, but the spirits splashed around and spilled on the road, and many giants were wetted by the wine.

Seeing their compatriots fall one by one, many giants roared in grief and anger, and they began to climb up the hillside, trying to kill the humans who attacked them.

And usually before they can climb halfway, they are smashed down by stones.

In less than an hour, more and more giants fell, and more than half of the giant tribe was killed or injured. The river valley path was already covered with giants. Most of them were dead, some were disabled, and some were already dying.

Lincoln's eyes showed pride, and he directed the army to continue the attack.

"Woo-woo--" two consecutive horns sounded, and all the archers replaced the poisonous arrows with rocket arrows stained with kerosene.

"Srustling——"

Immediately, arrows with fire pierced the sky and shot towards the pile of giants...

The river valley path and the giant's brown hair were soaked in wine, and the rockets burned violently as soon as they touched it.

Seeing the flames, the chaotic crowd became even more flustered.

The giant's brown fur was good fuel. The fallen giant was mixed with alcohol, and a line of fire was quickly ignited on the river valley path.

Many of the crippled and dying giants were burned alive because they could not struggle.

After the fire was burnt out, it was time for the infantry to enter the field. They rushed down the hillside and made up their swords one by one to ensure that there were no survivors.

After Lincoln's perfect planning and ambush this time, mankind almost won an overwhelming victory. Only more than 800 giants who walked in the forefront escaped from this valley of death and survived.

As the captain, Luke has been walking in front of the team, and he survived.

These more than 800 giants fled into the pine forest. Lincoln didn't send people to chase them immediately. He planned to let his soldiers rest for a while, and then slowly wiped out the remaining giants.

There are only more than 800 giants left, and they can no longer threaten them.

On the quiet river valley path, there are signs of death.

The steaming scorched earth, huge corpses can be seen everywhere, and the originally clear river in front of the forest has now become extremely filthy, mixed with blood and burnt ashes.

Tears of despair and guilt filled Luke's eyes, and almost all the clansmen it led died.

Humanity!It's just horrible!
Luke and the others slumped on the ground without saying a word. At this moment, they only had sorrow for the dead compatriots and anger for humans in their hearts.

They couldn't help thinking of what their ancestors had warned them:

"Unless you have to, don't try to go to the southern continent. The little people there are far more terrifying than any beast."
