Throne of the North.

Chapter 470: The Frost Giant's Return, the Frost Giant Sacrificed by the Dragon
The frost dragon Areris still hadn't woken up, so Ryan planned to visit this "old friend" in person.

"Sir Lagerloff, this is our first meeting."

Ryan brought a lot of supplies to the tribe of Frost Giants. This was the village of the Frost Giants, and the mountains were their courtyards. The tall Frost Giants reminded Ryan of the Thunder Giants. They looked as tall as buildings, and he wondered if there was any difference in their fighting power.

"Human noble Ryan, you are welcome, but my village may not be suitable for you."

Lagerloff said that this was true, there would be no human-sized chairs to accommodate him in the Frost Giants' territory.

"It doesn't matter. This time we entered the North to explore the scale of the orcs in the ice and snow of the North. Human civilization has just experienced a war and we suffered heavy losses. We hope that the war will stay away from our world."

"Baron Ryan, you will get what you want. The number of orcs is very small now. On our way back, we saw that food grew in many places but was not harvested by orcs. They will not start a war against you for a while."

Lagerloff said this. Compared with the human world, the period of time he mentioned is probably not short.

The Frost Giants were obviously more willing to become familiar with the world of the North than creatures like dragons. Ryan was not surprised that the Frost Giants were able to know the movements of the orcs.

As giants, they are said to be top-notch life forms in the supernatural world just like dragons. The fact that they live in groups is quite magical.

As they chatted, Ryan began to discuss dragons.

"Sir Lagerlov, I wonder if there will be a war between you and the dragon?"

"If, I mean if, you encounter a dragon, can you kill it?"

Ryan asked, and Lagerloff looked at Ryan and said:
"Baron Ryan, do you want to kill the frost dragon? It is very powerful."

"No, no, no, Lord Areris is also my friend. He is different from other dragons and is not that violent."

"You're right. The relationship between the frost giants and dragons is very bad. But that dragon is different. After it came here, we didn't fight."

Lagerlov said in agreement. He told Ryan that he suspected the frost dragon Areris had lost his mind and that dragons were not supposed to be like this.

"There have been many wars between the Frost Giants and the Dragons. When I was young, I participated in a war with the Dragons. We won at that time, and the dragon meat was delicious."

Lagerloff said, and couldn't help licking his lips. A large amount of ice chips fell down and crushed a tree.

He missed the taste of dragon.

Lagerloff told Ryan that the Frost Giants' huge bodies meant they had to eat a lot of food. The huge dragons were very suitable for the Frost Giants. After eating an adult dragon, they could go without food for decades or even hundreds of years.

This kind of relationship has led to many wars between the two sides, but because the numbers of both sides are small, it is difficult for humans to encounter and understand them.

The only regret is that the dragons are unquestionably powerful. As the perfect creatures at the top of the food chain, dragons are not just talk. They always have the upper hand in the war with frost giants.

So, it can be considered a feud?

Ryan blinked and said:
"To be honest with you, Lord Lagerlov, I have encountered some problems recently. The dragon is threatening my people. If it appears again, I hope that Lord Lagerlov can help me expel it or even kill it."

"Of course, if you need its body as food, I will give it to you."

The Frost Giant in front of him was as tall as the Thunder Giant, and it seemed that this Lagerlov was more mature. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be a legend.

"Of course, Baron Ryan, the frost giants will help you."

Lagerlov said directly that the frost giants were not human beings, and since their favorability had been raised to a certain level, Lagerlov would not make any requests at all.

After further investigation, Ryan finally understood why his favorability increased so quickly.

"Those damn gray goblins attacked our tribe and killed two children."

"When we chased after them, the great being they served stopped us, and the goblins hid in the dungeons again."

"We only managed to retrieve the body of one child. The other was dragged underground. I can feel that the evil spirit is changing him. It won't be long before that child becomes a vessel for the evil god."

"The Frost Giant will never tolerate this. When He appears, I will personally drive Him away."

You have to know that the Frost Giant Tribe is already sparsely populated, and it may not be possible to give birth to a new person in a hundred years. If two people die, it would be a major population earthquake.

What's more, we encountered things like desecration of corpses.

Ryan helped the tribe to avenge part of its revenge.

Hobiyi is still making trouble? Ryan was surprised. It turned out that he was trying to assimilate the frost giants into wights. At first, he was thinking of using the dragon skeleton.

"In my human empire, there is a magician who is also very interested in the evil god. Perhaps I can invite him to help you, Lagerlov."

Ryan said that he had not forgotten that [Ivy League] Ivan. If he could act as a middleman and increase the probability of killing Hobie, then his relationship with the legendary magician should be able to be further improved afterwards.

As for favorability, I don’t mind gaining a lot.

"Magician?"

Lagerlov showed a rejection expression. Ryan had gained enough favorability with him, but other humans, not to mention humans, any other species, would find it difficult to communicate with the Frost Giants. Even if they came to this Frost Giant tribe, it would be difficult for them to discover the Frost Giants.

Lagerloff did not respond, so Ryan stopped talking. We'll see when the time comes. Dealing with an evil god is not something that can be done overnight.

……

Ryan really wanted to invite the frost giants to fight the dragons.

As for how to conquer the alien world, Ryan felt that apart from mobilizing the entire empire, or even the entire human civilization of the Norris continent, there would be no other means to fight against this world.

After all, the enemies here are all dragons.

Frost Giants are a unit that can fight against dragons.

Nidhogg, Ryan looked at the giant dragon soaring in the distant sky. Some time had passed, and traces of the giant dragon appeared again in this piece of land in the cracks.

These dragons are different from the dragon monarchs. The dragon soaring in the sky is just a young dragon. Its wingspan is only a few dozen meters. Its rank is probably around the holy realm.

The difference is that these pure dragons are full of primitive tyranny, destructive desire and greed. The dragon monarchs are limited in destroying human cities and civilizations, but these dragons bring destruction just like humans pouring boiling water on ant nests, as if they want to destroy the entire ant kingdom.

This is what the dragon is like at this moment.

It circled in the sky, and its ochre-yellow dragon breath fell, causing the earth to roar, with collapses and breakdowns occurring continuously.

Rose was fighting with it, but the sanctuary of humans and the sanctuary of dragons were of the same rank, but their strengths were not the same. Rose, who was on both extraordinary paths, was extremely powerful in the human sanctuary, but in the battle with this young dragon, she still seemed to be unable to take care of anything.

The dragon held the dominant power, but fortunately it finally managed to hold back its hatred towards Rose, and it rushed towards Rose violently, vowing to kill this human.

One by one, they rushed into the forest. The giant dragon's departure made the humans in Blue Butterfly City feel relieved, but the destroyed environment around it was difficult to repair.

"A young dragon should have left home and started to travel alone, right?"

Ryan thought like this, looking at the destroyed land, his eyes were filled with anger, and he wanted to kill the dragon.

However, a few days later...

The mountains and forests collapsed, and the huge dragon plowed a terrible gully on the ground like a huge stone. The stopped dragon roared angrily at the mountains and forests, and the surrounding ochre-colored magic power gathered, carrying thousands of stones and smashing towards the mountains and forests like a storm.

The dragon roared once more, and then flew into the sky with its injured wings. Its speed was not fast, but no one could catch up with it.

In the forest, as a large number of leaves were cut down, a large number of cavalry rushed out. Looking at the leaving dragon, Rose let out an unwilling roar, and her deformed metal arm smashed on the tree.

The trees broke, and Rose calmed down.

"This giant earth dragon is too difficult to kill."

Next to him, Egil was covered in blood. Anyone who saw him would have doubted that he would die at the next moment, but at this moment he still had the strength to speak.

"Its defense is more than ten times stronger than those giant dragon monarchs. Our giant crossbows can't penetrate its magic-covered dragon scales at all."

In the dragon civilization, there are five most powerful dragons, representing the six elements: ice, earth, water, fire, wind, and thunder. There are frost dragons, fire dragons, tidal dragons, earth dragons, and storm dragons. According to legend, these five dragons are also the oldest and purest dragons. They were created directly from the magic ocean by the Creator. Later, for example, the amber dragon is a dragon, but it is not a top dragon.

Because their birth is caused by various factors, just like impurities.

Of course, just because they are not stronger than the five elemental dragons doesn’t mean they are not powerful. On the contrary, it is because those dragons are also powerful that the five elemental dragons are more terrifying.

A giant earth dragon that may have just entered adolescence was able to easily escape from the high-end combat power of the Frozen Territory, which also made Ryan feel the real difficulty of the dragon.

There is more than one side of this world...

Dragons are very vengeful. After being attacked and injured by humans, the Earth Dragon continued to destroy human civilization in the following days. In its eyes, all humans became enemies, and it used its terrible power to begin to bring terrible disasters to the humans in this world.

Ryan was also glad that this was a giant earth dragon and its speed was not very fast, otherwise his army would not be able to catch up with it and could only watch the dragon destroy their territory.

"Can't you stop it?!"

Ryan asked loudly. This time, it was not just those few people. Even Archmage McKen and Archmage Luna were called over by Ryan.

However, they were still unable to restrain the giant earth dragon. Since it was flying in the sky, most of their means were reduced. When it fell to the ground, not to mention the strength of the dragon scales, even the rock skin brought by magic could not be broken.

The two great wizards need a long time to prepare, but the dragon's perception of magic is much stronger than that of the magician. As long as the earth dragon senses that the intensity of the magic factors gathered in the void is too high, it will leave directly.

Magicians simply cannot set up magic traps under the dragon's nose.

They were just short of moving the mage tower over here.

……

"This is the situation, Lord Lagerloff, I hope you can give me some help."

In the North, Ryan described the fighting power of the Earth Dragon to Lagerlov, and the latter directly agreed to Ryan's request. Not long after, a frost giant about thirty meters tall walked out. He was the war frost giant unit with the favorability that Ryan had gained.

"Lagrus, he will help you kill the dragon, but..."

"Don't worry, the dragon's body is yours. I only need some of its blood."

Lagerloff felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was the Frost Giants' return help to Lion, not a transaction. Frost Giants never made transactions. They either helped for free or took for free.

In front of the Frost Giants, Ryan put on the Crown of the Dragon Emperor, which made the Frost Giant Lagerlov alert and tense his body for a moment, and then watched Ryan open a huge crack.

The powerful Sanctuary Frost Giant Lagros followed hundreds of knight attendants into it. Ryan closed the space channel and saw Lagrof's solemn expression.

"Master Lagerlov, don't worry, I won't let your people get into danger."

"No, Baron Ryan, that's not what I want to talk about."

Lagerloff looked at Ryan with an extremely solemn expression.

"Behind the space crack you opened, I felt... a familiar breath."

"There are frost giants in there, my kind."

"what?"

Ryan was a little surprised. There are frost giants in Nidhogg? How is that possible? That is a world ruled by dragons. If there are frost giants, they must have been killed.

However, Ryan did not doubt whether the frost giant was wrong, but said:

"I will send an army to search for that world... Frost Giants can't live in the sea, right?"

"Frost Giants can create glaciers on the sea. A long, long time ago, when the world had not yet fallen into the North, the way Frost Giants migrated was to create glaciers on the sea as ships and float towards new lands."

Lagerloff's words made Ryan feel extremely amazed that there was such a method.

He nodded.

"That might be very troublesome..."

"My army does not have the strength to sail on the sea."

Ryan saw those giant dragons hunting deep-sea beasts in the raging waves. Not to mention that he had no boat, even if he had a boat, he would not be able to survive for a few days on the sea of ​​Nidhogg.

A giant earth dragon forced him to ask the frost giants to come out of the mountains. If he encountered other dragons at sea, especially tidal dragons, Ryan didn't know what means of counterattack he would have except opening the plane door and running away.

"When I help you kill the earth dragon, let Lagurus go look for it. He will find it by following the ancient call of the frost giants."

Ryan was a little hesitant. He didn't want the Frost Giant's death at the hands of the dragon to affect his friendship with the Frost Giant tribe.

"Well, Lord Lagerlov, that world... has many dragons."

Ryan could only tell the truth. Letting the Frost Giant become the Earth Dragon Ryan was like asking him to come back quickly. There was no way he would let the Frost Giant stay in the dragon's world for more time.

Ryan's words made Lagerloff's eyes widen suddenly, and he stood up, and the surrounding snow-capped mountains were shaking.

……

Boom! ! !
In the sky, huge ice spikes were thrown out and hit the Earth Dragon, causing it to fall. The snow-white frost giant jumped violently, shaking the earth and pressing the Earth Dragon under him, then hammered the Earth Dragon's head deep into the ground with his fists again and again.

There is no technique, just violence and aesthetics.

Lagerloff grabbed the earth dragon's neck and continued to swing it left and right. The picture looked easy and carefree, but what if the scale was enlarged to a picture where one building was picking up another building and smashing it on the ground?

Brutal, gentle frost giants can be so brutal when fighting.

The dragon's vitality is very tenacious. Even in this situation, the Earth Dragon is still alive, with terrible dragon breath surging from its mouth, trying to resist.

Fortunately, Lagerloff did not hesitate, and tore open the dragon's chest, dug out a beating heart, and threw it to Lagros, a smaller version of the frost giant, who was standing nearby and watching.

Ryan was jealous. The rapid improvement of his knight rank was largely due to the power of that one-tenth of the dragon's heart. Even if the dragon heart of this young dragon was not as good as that of a legendary dragon, it was probably better than one-tenth of his own.

He did not speak, and Lagerlov also dropped the dragon's body and looked at the distant north of this world.

"Except for this land, everywhere else is ocean?"

Lagerloff asked curiously.

"Not entirely. I also saw some very small islands. Maybe they were too far away. But under the destruction of the dragon, even a large land would be destroyed bit by bit and swallowed by the ocean. There would be no land where frost giants could survive."

After seeing the Frost Giant Tribe, Ryan knew very well that such huge giant creatures as the Frost Giants needed a very large territory.

In the world of dragons, only the land beneath our feet is as vast as this, but there are no frost giants here.

"Even if they can survive, they can't avoid being hunted by dragons. After all, this is a world ruled by dragons..."

Ryan's meaning is very simple. Lagerloff said that there are frost giants in this world, but it may not be frost giants.

"I already know the answer."

Lagerloff did not respond to Ryan. After a long silence, he finally said:
"They are all dead..."

"They had already died during the Pan-Plane War of Gods. Just like that evil spirit used my people to turn them into monsters, the great existence of this world is doing the same thing."

What Lagerloff said surprised Ryan, and then Ryan thought of something...

Dragon essence, sacrifice, dragon warrior, mad dragon nightmare.

"The frost giant was sacrificed."

Ryan was shocked by this answer, but only this answer could reasonably explain everything. The world of dragons has enemies of dragons? No, maybe it is the slavery of dragons.
