Once again, despite changing the type of ammunition and optimizing the explosion structure and firing sequence, the dwarf's turrets still failed to inflict sufficient damage on the Mountain Giant Lawrence.
Feeling humiliated and defeated, they wanted to try another attack, but ultimately chose to retreat for safety reasons.
"Do you see that, Your Excellency, it's not that we didn't try, nor that we didn't use the best weapons?"
That guy, the Demon King's Four Heavenly Kings, the Rock Heavenly King, he's a being beyond imagination.
Dwarves are strong as attack speed warriors, but if you can't even get past their armor penetration threshold, you can't play the game at all.
"They're retreating, and it's about time we left too, otherwise we'll be in big trouble if they sense our presence."
The dwarf told El that although the dwarfs were being overwhelmed, they were barely managing to hold their line.
There's no rush to deal with the Rock King; they need a more comprehensive plan, rather than letting El, the hero, just charge in headfirst.
"Let's be patient and avoid the limelight for now."
After the dwarves finished speaking, they began their retreat. Perhaps due to their height, they appeared to be running very fast on two legs, but their speed was not ideal.
El did not leave immediately, but continued to stay at the observation post, watching the mountain giant Lawrence not far away.
"Mountain giants are a rather unique species in the demon realm..."
He recalled the books he had read before, as well as the records of monsters that the king had contributed in the capital.
It was compiled and recorded by successive royal families and heroes, containing almost all the information about the demon race.
El remembered exactly what a monster like the Mountain Giant was.
"It's somewhat similar to the puppets I saw around vampires before, but not exactly the same."
In an environment rich in earth elements, the high concentration of earth elements aggregates and transforms into a special gemstone, or rather, a core.
After enough time, the elemental forces transformed, and the core developed self-awareness, beginning to shape its own body.
At this moment, a mountain giant was born.
These monsters typically appear in the demon realm because the chaotic aura of the demons can effectively provide the initial intellectual enlightenment for the mountain giants' core.
Once a mountain giant is born, it is at least thirty meters tall, a creation of pure earth element.
"It's covered in dirt and only has one elemental gem core, so it doesn't seem very convenient to eat it..."
If this thing can only eat that elemental gem, El thought, an even more troublesome prey than the gargoyle has appeared.
"Not necessarily. Even if a powerful earth elemental body can't be eaten, it might still have other uses."
As for whether or not to retreat now?
He glanced at the dwarf group around him. At their pace, if El walked a few steps faster, he should be able to catch up.
"Avoid its sharp edge? Hmph, avoid its sharp edge?"
He quickened his pace and arrived in front of the dwarf commander from before.
"Hero, what brings you here?"
"You've probably seen it too, right? That guy's pretty fast."
Your artillery may not be able to evacuate completely in time, and the losses may be considerable.
Since we are allies, I can't just stand by and watch you run into problems.
I'm going to hold you back and buy you some time.
