Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

With a "thump," the two-headed giant jumped to the ground, making a loud noise and creating a large crater.

He had become stronger, his muscles bulging and red, and a faint magical aura surrounded him.

Whether it was due to the berserk state of the strange realm or the Crown of Eric, he became even stronger!

The other giants also became stronger!

Humanity will face the giants' second test!

Chapter 208 The Correct Way to Become a Puppet Master

"Fire arrows!"

A barrage of arrows shot into the sky, and three seconds later another barrage followed. Ten waves of arrows were fired in succession, and the sky seemed to darken!

This is the modified version of the Multi-Shot Mechanical Crossbow Formation by Zhao Hao – Sylvanas.

The entire "Sylvanas" was made of countless mechanical frames and simply modified crossbows, occupying a section of the city wall that was more than fifty meters long.

Under Zhao Hao's psionic control, it can launch a wide-ranging barrage with a range of up to 300 meters and a maximum firing rate of 3600 arrows per minute!

This thing alone is equivalent to an archer army of eight hundred. Moreover, the machine is tireless, firing continuously for forty minutes before requiring simple maintenance and parts replacement. This is impossible to do by manpower.

When the rain of arrows, like a dark cloud, fell from the sky, the king and his soldiers were all stunned.

They had no idea how horribly they would die if the enemy were human.

Even giants couldn't get close to the city walls under such dense, saturation fire. Every inch of flesh exposed outside their rudimentary armor was covered in arrows, making them look like dogs pricked by porcupines.

The soldiers' most arduous task now is carrying crossbow bolts and loading them into the crossbow array. Just like artillerymen loading shells into artillery positions, their arms swell up after a while.

However, this thing was modified by Zhao Hao using crossbows stored in the capital. Not only was it ugly, but it was also not powerful enough.

After all, it was originally a weapon designed for humans. To a giant, a crossbow bolt less than a meter long is just like a large toothpick.

Although getting shot with a large toothpick a lot can be very painful, to kill a giant, you'd probably have to poke it full of holes.

Moreover, the stockpile of crossbow bolts did not allow the repeating crossbow array to fire at full capacity for too long; the war came too suddenly, and the reserves were insufficient.

But don't worry, there are other defensive tools here.

For example, the Flamethrower - Duke of the Iron Chin, the Wall Giant Swing - Garrosh Hellscream, and the Covering Defense Shed - Holy Light will filth you.

It has to be said that the profession of puppeteer seems to have been misused in the Naruto world.

This is clearly most effective in urban warfare!

Just like the Mohist disciples during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

In just five or six hours, Zhao Hao created so many useful and fun things.

He was a little disappointed that time was too short, and he still had many ideas he hadn't had time to realize. The giant army had already appeared on the horizon of the field.

The world seems to have a low population density, or rather, the land is so vast and rich in resources that the population density is too low, so many wastelands in the wild are simply grasslands.

If this were in China, they would have been growing vegetables for you by now.

Because no vegetables were planted, the giant's large feet did not cause any effective damage.

The two-headed giant saw the distant capital city and the soldiers on the city walls, fully armored and ready for battle.

He roared, "Sound the horn!"

A giant raised the huge, curved horn hanging around his neck and blew it out loud.

All the giants roared and cried out, their spirits soaring and their strength restored amidst the sound of horns, even their muscles swelling a few times over.

"Charge! Eat all the little people!" the giants roared as they charged forward.

The big feet stomped on the ground with a loud rumble, like rolling thunder.

The soldiers on the city wall felt the tremors beneath their feet as if they were a kilometer away; in reality, they were trembling with fear.

Even the bravest person will instinctively feel fear when suddenly faced with a colossal creature tens of meters tall. This is only natural.

However, the king also had his own treasures. He took out a small horn depicting a standing golden lion and blew it out.

Everyone who heard the sound felt a surge of pride welling up from the bottom of their hearts. Fear, hesitation, and doubt seemed to be squeezed out of their hearts. At this moment, they were the bravest and most fearless warriors.

"Release the arrows! Release the arrows! Ballistae, prepare for horizontal firing, 3, 2, 1, fire!"

A cacophony of commands roared as soldiers busied themselves on the city walls.

Those giants ran as fast as galloping horses, reaching the city in just a few dozen seconds.

The rain of arrows continued relentlessly, and hastily made asphalt-burning catapults were constantly being thrown hundreds of meters outside the city.

Even a single hit on a giant can send them sprawling.

In particular, the asphalt would stick to the giants and burn continuously, causing them to panic and run around in disarray, disrupting their formation.

The giants also had ranged attacks. Many of their warriors, who wore even less armor, would take out fist-sized stones from the leather pouches they carried and hurl them at the giants.

The stones were about 60 or 70 centimeters in diameter, and their effect was even stronger than that of a catapult. When they hit the city wall, they shattered bricks and stones with a loud crash.

Even the flying pebbles were enough to knock down soldiers wearing helmets and armor.

Moreover, the more agile giant actually uprooted the trees around him, spun them around, and hurled them toward the city.

Those big trees are five or six meters tall, and their canopies cover a large area.

Even more troublesome were the trees that caught fire from the flying asphalt and thrown stones. Even if they didn't directly hit anyone, the burning, smoking trees in the city were enough to cause chaos.

Fortunately, the Holy Light defensive shed was sturdy enough to protect the safety of most of the soldiers below and not affect the firepower suppression on the city wall.

"Ah~~~"

The two-headed giant tore a windmill off a nearby mill and used it as a boomerang to throw at the city wall.

The windmill crashed heavily into the wall, instantly shattering the wall and exploding the windmill. Debris and wood scattered like bombs across a radius of several meters.

A chorus of cries of agony filled the air as countless soldiers fell. Even the king, who was over fifty years old and still riding his horse along the city walls, shouting encouragement, was among those who succumbed to the disease.

His gold helmet had a deep dent, scratched by bits of wood. If he hadn't been wearing a helmet, he would have been cracked open. This shows how essential it is to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle.

The giants began to approach. Although the dozen or so giants in front were being shot by Sylvanas's arrows and were curled up, unable to get up, with no place left to stick arrows in their faces, the giants behind them were pushing them forward.

Then, several of the second group of giants who passed them were hit by ballistae, resulting in more serious injuries. Arrows piercing the torso are like being stabbed with long chopsticks, which is also a significant injury.

There was even an unlucky guy who got shot through the eye and died without uttering a sound.

The giants rushed to the moat, which was already filled with a layer of black oil. With a volley of rockets, the entire moat burst into flames.

The flames were seven or eight meters high; even giants wouldn't dare wade through the sea of ​​fire to climb the city walls.

The giants' only chance was the city gate. Although the drawbridge had been raised, it wasn't a hopeless situation.

Some giants used ropes with iron hooks to pull the drawbridge, while the other giants began exchanging fire with the soldiers across the moat, which was more than 20 meters wide.

Of all the participants, two giants stood out the most.

One of them was the two-headed giant, who was taller and stronger. Every time he threw something at a dozen soldiers, it could render them unable to fight.

What's more, he also knows magic. That deformed little head can actually release a fireball with a diameter of more than a meter to attack the city wall. The explosive power is not small. Even the Holy Light Defense Shed was burned down in several places.

Another one is the giant Fum, whose face looks a bit like an ape that hasn't fully evolved. He also holds a high position among the giants and is very intelligent.

He used a giant wooden slingshot that could be used as a swing for children, and stones the size of a human head were his ammunition. His accuracy was extremely high! The soldiers who were hit were half-shattered.

Zhao Hao observed from the city wall for a while, focusing on directing the semi-automatic defense system and observing the giants that needed attention.

Nafum, skilled with a slingshot, had already destroyed two asphalt-burning catapults and a considerable section of Sylvanas's crossbow formation, and injured many people.

Zhao Hao went to a ballista, operated it himself, and took out the [Spiritual Light Demon-Revealing Mirror] to prepare.

Nafum drew back his slingshot once more, when suddenly a beam of light shone from the city wall and shone into Nafum's eyes.

"Ugh~" A sharp pain, accompanied by dizziness and numbness, spread from his eyeballs to most of his head. Frm was caught off guard and even lost his grip on the slingshot, which slipped from his hand and bounced back, hitting him in the face.

However, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise. Because he was hit hard in the face, he staggered to the side, which allowed Zhao Hao's deadly ballista, aimed at his heart, to hit his shoulder instead.

Nafum was clever; after falling to the ground, he refused to get up and instead rolled backward, where he was blocked by the other foolish giants who charged forward.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao gave up.

The giants' first attack was quickly repelled...

Chapter 209 Mother Goose and the Dwarf

"By repelling the giants' first attack, we've already achieved half the success. At least the warriors have gotten used to the giants' presence."

"However, we can't just wait here. The giants will definitely attack again after this defeat, and they will certainly target our defenses then."

"I will try my best to harass them during this night and kill as many giants as possible..."

Under the cover of night, Zhao Hao left the city wall alone.

Several kilometers away was the giants' camp. Calling it a camp was too kind; they simply dismantled the wood and houses they could find, lit a few fires, and then lay on the ground lounging around.

Zhao Hao even saw two giants fighting over a piece of meat, their punches landing hard and leaving them bruised and battered in no time. The other giants watched the spectacle, laughing heartily.

The giants' failed attack meant they gained nothing and suffered heavy losses.

The giants suffered heavy losses in this attack, losing more than a dozen men, reaching one-twentieth of their original number.

In addition, there were more than a dozen seriously injured and more than twenty slightly injured.

More importantly, there was no harvest; there wasn't even anything to eat.

Zhao Hao's scorched-earth policy left them with only empty houses. They were useless except for burning firewood.

For giants, food is absolutely essential. This greatly diminished the prestige of the newly crowned two-headed giant.

However, Zhao Hao had previously wondered about the source of the giants' food. Relying solely on raising livestock would not provide enough meat. The giants had enormous appetites; they couldn't possibly live on dirt, could they?

This time he finally found out!

It turned out that the two-headed giant was holding a cloth bag with a diameter of more than one meter, which was about the size of the giant's palm.

Grain can be poured out of it continuously.
