Chaos Crown

The frantic sound of war drums echoed across the battlefield.

"Boom boom boom boom~"

The beating of the orcs' drums gradually slowed down, and was vigorous and rhythmic. With the vibration of their drumming, giants, trolls, and ogres gradually came out of the orc army formation one after another.

The giants, the ancient race, the former ruling race of the continent, marched towards the human army under the guidance of the orcs, with messy and heavy steps, holding a several-meter-long wooden stick.

Aaron dropped the head of Rusek's Claw and stared at the giant in the distance, recalling the story of the giant in his head.

In ancient times, the three great empires of the Sarukh witches were in decline, and before the rise of the dragon race, there was an era in the kingdom called the "age of giants". The original words, and the book also states that the height of giants is about 5-8 meters according to different types...) In that distant and almost forgotten era, it was active in every corner of the world and ruled most of the country Land is a world-class ruling race. At that time, the civilization of giants was as grand and unstoppable as the phlogiston sea outside the crystal wall system.

It’s just that any civilization has its glory and decline. At that time, the dragons and giants in the country were emerging forces that succeeded the five founding races. With the development of time, the two sides gradually began fierce conflicts and eventually broke out. In total war, the giant dragon, led by the incarnation of the dragon god Garrix, waged a war with the kingdom of giants known as the "Thousand Years War". This war that lasted for 1000 years finally ended with the dragon's overall victory The kingdom of giants in its heyday has only a few scattered territories in the corner of the mainland.

To make matters worse, Annan, the giant's father, was deeply disappointed with the giant's performance. Father Annan decided not to answer the giant's prayers until the giant regained the dominion of the continent, and the giants lost their father's protection.

And the mother goddess of giants is even worse. The giant mother god Osaiah was already keen on extramarital affairs when the giant kingdom was still in its heyday, including ogres, half giants, hidden giants, crippled giants, sub-giants, and wooden giants. A large number of giant subspecies were born in Osaiah's extramarital affairs one after another. Osaiah was dissatisfied with every extramarital affair and wanted to try more.

Losing the blessing of the Father God and the care of the Mother God, the giants have been in a slump. Now the prosperity of this race has faded away. Until now, there are only a few scattered giant tribes in the corners of the world. In the great glacier and the extreme north of the world, there are still a little relics of the former giant empire, which are only stone foundations and dilapidated statues.

Yes, ogres are also a subspecies of giants.

Aaron remembered that there was a hierarchy in the kingdom of giants. From high to low, they were storm giants, cloud giants, fire giants, frost giants, stone giants, and then hill giants. Many hybrid giants and ogres born of Othea, mother of giants.

The rank order of giants is very strict and special. Even if a fire giant is a great chief, his status must be lower than that of cloud giants. The giant's law only stipulates that any conflicts are directly won by those with higher ranks, regardless of the specific circumstances. and specific crimes.

In the orc camp, there are naturally only hill giants and ogres, the lowest-ranked giants or giant subspecies, but these enemies should not be underestimated!Aaron had already dealt with the ogre in front of him, but when he saw a group of hill giants only five or six meters high rushing towards the army formation, all the soldiers felt their scalps go numb.

Although the hill giants are the lowest in the pure blood giant class sequence, they are still famous in the country for their two high and four low attributes.

Double high refers to high strength and high physique.

The four lows refer to low intelligence (very low), low agility, low perception, and low charm.

Hill giants are famous for being stupid, mentally retarded, evil, and gluttonous. They are selfish and dull. All their instincts are to eat and reproduce. If they have nothing to do, they can eat from morning till night, or mate from morning to night. At night, they have the best appetite and the best stomach and intestines in the country, and there is nothing they can't digest except really poisonous things.

So how did such a stupid and greedy hill giant survive to this day?
That is the addition of their super high physical attributes and extraordinary strength!

Every giant possesses extraordinary strength, and among them, the high-level storm giants, cloud giants, and fire giants are born with extraordinary strength. The strength attributes of storm giants are often enough to compete with ancient beasts and even the incarnation of gods!High giants even have the bonus of extraordinary physique attributes at the same time.

The hill giants don't have extraordinary physiques, but they still have extraordinary strength. Although they are dull and greedy, there are not many existences who may get hit by the hill giants!
Under Tujin's order, the hill giants finally appeared, and the orc shamans who had not moved for a long time also released spells one after another at giants, trolls, and ogres.

"Acceleration!"

"Oil the soles of your feet!"

"Attribute strengthening!"

"Blessing!"

The glow of magic spells appeared one after another, and the speed of the hill giants suddenly increased to a higher level. They swung their giant sticks and rushed into the chaotic front army at a relatively fast speed, killing the two in one fell swoop. The Flame Fist mercenary from Baldur's Gate smashed deeply into the ground, smashing it into a meat paste, and then, regardless of whether it was an iron-clad meat can without a can opener, he immediately grabbed it with his hand and took a bite. It bit off half of it, leaving only the lower body of the bloody mercenary who was caught in the thigh twitching.

Under the blessing of extraordinary strength and spells, the power attributes of the hill giants really break through the sky. Whether it is a shield wall, a spear array or those transformed druids, as long as they can't dodge, they will end the battle with a stick!
Snapped!
A mass of bloody flesh.

boom!
It was another lump of unidentifiable meatloaf.

Clang clang clang~
A whole platoon of mercenaries was sent to the sky, including a Genasi.

There are many trolls and ogres following the hill giant. They easily broke through the front of the central army again, and rushed directly towards the rear army. More than 1000 people in the front army were attacked by this group of giant beasts. More than 100 people were killed in a few minutes.

"The elite of the orcs haven't been fully dispatched yet."

Aaron's pupils narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Ms. Raul on the left. Ms. Raul looked calm and commanded the army in an orderly manner. The most elite Falcon Legion and Phoenix Legion had not yet joined the battlefield.

On the orc side, at least three legions are also waiting. Inavo's army-a large group of orc greatswords in fancy clothes, holding two-handed long swords and armor are still waiting.

Inavo is the war god of the orcs, and the only god among the orcs who pays more attention to strategy. The orcs who believe in him often have certain wisdom and strategy, and know how to adapt to changes. Similarly, Inavo does not like to use battle axes, but likes to use big sword.

"The flower of the orc," Aaron commented.

Bagru's army, large groups of riders riding Goss beasts, half-ton giant horned bull beasts.

Gruumsh's army was covered in heavy armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and the heavily armored warriors holding giant axes. Many of the existences in the team were "Gruumsh's Eyes", that is, the solitary orcs who had completed the ceremony. Eyeblesser.

Facing the approaching behemoth troops, the human soldiers subconsciously turned their attention to their commanders and mages.

Humanity has no Behemoth army, so these people are their only hope.

The spellcasters did not disappoint them either. Following Baron Damon's loud orders, the mage group from Waterdeep City and the druids from Green Court finally started to cast spells freely!
"Fireball!"

"Lightning Bolt, Flame Weaving Fireball, Smelly Cloud, Scorching Ray, Summon Thunder, Immobilize Monster."

"Mayoufu Acid Arrow, Ice Storm, Monster Hold, Charm Monster, Wither!"

As the spellcasters began to cast spells freely, the battlefield instantly changed from a place of blood and flesh to a colorful and colorful place, and the brilliance of magic spread everywhere, either as rays, or cylinders, or cones, or fans. , The endless magic fell into the giant beast army piece by piece, and the five hill giants who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another. Some places were hit by strong acid arrows, making a sizzling sound!

"Comet!"

Even Aaron could hear the eldest lady's coquettish shouts. She summoned a comet to fall and smashed a giant's head on the spot. The bright red liquid that splashed down like a waterfall was definitely not watermelon juice.

However, the tenacious vitality made the remaining hill giants carry their magic forward, and they fell into a rage, brandishing their big sticks, and continued to move forward.

Until the giant beasts rushed past the central army and fell into the middle of the rear army, the open area between the left and right wings, the enemy on the left and the enemy on the right.

Only then did the slow-minded monsters realize that they were surrounded.

But it was already too late, the long-range attacks and magic from the left and right wings bombarded them, followed by Ms. Raul's roar.

"Cavalry, charge!"

The sound of rumbling horseshoes came from the rear of the left wing. 500 heavy cavalry leveled their lances and pulled the reins. While recharging their energy, the cavalry finally had a place to use. They formed a triangular cavalry formation, accompanied by With the dull sound of hooves, the heavy cavalry gradually dispersed. While the giant beasts were being attacked from both sides, they circled a semicircle from the side and rear, and rushed to kill them!
Ride the gun and charge!

The charge of the heavy cavalry submerged the giant beasts in the blink of an eye, and the sharp wooden lances broke one after another as they staggered past, submerging all the spear heads into the bodies of giants, trolls and ogres, and the heavy cavalry hit by the lances one after another Throw away the broken lance handle and draw your weapon to meet the enemy.

In the smoke and dust, the heavy cavalry and the giant beasts had a tragic melee.

"This is much better than those little tricks." Aaron heard Khorne comment with satisfaction. This good brother obviously showed disdain when he saw the sky full of magic, until the heavy cavalry began to charge.

Aaron nodded slowly.

Heavy cavalry charge, the super killer in the era of cold weapons, although in the kingdom, due to the existence of magic, the heavy cavalry is not as powerful as in the previous life, but the group charge of heavy cavalry is still extremely deterrent, an apprentice level As long as a good fighter has a well-equipped horse and can master riding and spear skills to make a perfect charge, even if the opponent is a master fighter, as long as he hits it, he can instantly kill him.

It's a pity that the training of heavy cavalry is very harsh. How can ordinary soldiers get so much money and resources to use good horses, find venues, and equip equipment to complete their evolution from ordinary infantry to heavy cavalry?

This is destined to be a privilege that can only belong to those above the middle class.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the murderous aura was soaring to the sky. The behemoth troop that was flanked fell down in pieces after enduring the cavalry charge. Bleeding outside.

The heavy cavalry also paid a terrible price. The weapons in the hands of these giant beasts were seriously injured, and they were dead if they touched them. Many knights dodged the giant beast's attack, but their horses were hit. The broken bones on the spot brought the riders down together. Fortunately, this is a country, and the professionals are very strong in physical fitness. Most of them are just broken bones and will not die directly.

With no room to breathe, the heavy cavalry immediately turned around and formed after the first round of charge, and charged again in the second round. Finally, after paying the price of more than 130 cavalry casualties, they successfully disintegrated the orc's behemoth army, left and right. Pieces of corpses were piled up in the open space in the middle of the formation.

The behemoth army suffered all casualties, and the pressure on the human coalition forces was greatly reduced. However, the spellcasters also consumed a lot of mana. The battlefield situation gradually became anxious, and the two sides began a tug-of-war.

Both Tujin and Ms. Raul seemed to have given up on the surprise attack, and they were just directing the battlefield step by step.

Aaron fought side by side with Eleanor and others, and they killed wave after wave of orcs. Aaron noticed that almost all the monks of the fifth key company who had been glorious before were killed in battle, and he couldn't help but sigh. Take a breath.

The battle continued fiercely from noon to dusk, and there was still no sign of stopping until several soldiers of the Phoenix Legion found Aaron.

At this time, the human coalition has lost more than 2000 people.

"Your Excellency Salian, Ms. Dinefur, the Earl welcomes you."

Aaron followed the soldiers to Ms. Lauer and found that Samir and his suzerain Eleonora were already there.

"It's almost there. Tujin is about to summon the ancestral soul army!" Ms. Raul said to Aaron, "Of the few waves we went out, only you and Samir have come back."

"For Tujin to summon his army of ancestral souls, there are two conditions that must be met."

"First, it is a massive sacrifice, a sacrifice that satisfies the orc god."

"Second, it is the killing called conquest."

"Now that he has basically achieved his goal, I can be sure that he is performing the ceremony." Ms. Lauer stroked the scar on her face: "Here, it hurts."

"Once Tujin summons the army of ancestral souls, our failure is already doomed. However, thank you and Samir for your efforts. Tujin needs more time, and this is our opportunity."

"My lord's pastor has sensed the location of the totem pole, so now is our last chance."

"Samir, Aaron, the two of you are the only heroes who have successfully returned. Both of you have been blessed by the gods. Now, the time for the last fight is coming. You two, if you can't succeed this time, you won't do it again in the future." It may succeed, and the power of the orc gods will be too strong to be defeated, and even, maybe they are already too strong to be defeated."

"This is our last stand." Ms. Lauer sighed: "I'm sorry, Aaron, Samir, you have done enough for me, if you don't plan to participate, I won't blame you... I will go in person, and my second in command, Stenanara, will take command."

Aaron smiled mockingly when he heard the words, and he opened his mouth: "Your Excellency, do you always have only one plan for doing things?"

"There is no other choice." Ms. Raul shook her head with a wry smile, and admitted her mistake to Aaron: "I have always been such a person, with a hot temper and desperate, this is not the first time I have gambled, but I can't I can't sit and watch my people huddle together in a refugee camp to warm themselves, I can't hide in my estate and watch them starve and freeze."

"So I just did it, it's as simple as that."

Aaron wanted to punch Ms. Lauer so hard that all the words that came out of her mouth would be punched in her stomach.

"Kill her!" urged the Will of Khorne.

But something stopped him.

In the refugee camp in Susar, tens of thousands of refugees crowded together, drinking porridge thinner than water.

In the camp of the Restoration Army, the 84-year-old old woman whose relatives were all dead, relied on selling goat milk to maintain her poor self-esteem.

As well as the Cormyrs who have died on the battlefield so far.

If the orcs cannot be stopped, not only Arabel will be hopeless, but even the surrounding area will not be spared. The orcs will drown everything, and Gruumsh's roar will become louder and louder. Next time, there will be more enemies to face .

Maybe we can retake this place in the future, but it may already be a barren place with nothing left.

"You owe me a favor, a great favor, Ms. Lauer." Aaron stopped worrying about this, and he said to the surrounding Phoenix Legion and Falcon Legion: "Everyone, did you hear that too? If you can Victory, all of you owe me a big favor."

"Me too." Samir smiled lazily.

None of these Arabel local soldiers made a sound. On the contrary, there was a clatter of armor.

Spears are like a forest, solemn as night.

All the soldiers gave military salutes to the two.

This is the highest courtesy in Cormyr's army.

"Okay, what should we do?" Aaron nodded deeply, and also returned with a standard purple dragon knight etiquette.

"How? To send Tukin and his two pillars to heaven?"

Updated, ask for tickets~
