After nightfall, as the soldiers poured buckets of water onto the city walls, the water gradually seeped into the cracked walls and froze in a very short time.
Behind the broken city gate, many large bricks and stones were deliberately placed before water was poured, which caused the city gate to freeze into a wall.
At dawn the next day, the walls of the entire mountain city looked crystal clear.
But this seemingly fragile transparency makes all the walls so hard that even a knife cannot cut them, making it a solid crystal city.
After experiencing the previous siege, the orcs still did not change their strategy and wanted to destroy this checkpoint in one fell swoop. However, this time, not only were the ladders to climb the city difficult to hold up, but the orcs who climbed to the top of the city would often slip on the ice at the first moment.
Those with less luck might lose their footing and fall backwards onto the wall, hitting other orcs on the ladder below. Those with better luck might fall onto the wall, but at the moment of falling they would be pierced by several spears that had been waiting for them...
…
At the edge of a huge trap pit, dozens of warriors with blood splattered all over their bodies stood by holding exaggeratedly long spears, staring at the huge pit below with indifference.
After just watching for a short while, they immediately poured generations of yellow powder into the pit to cover up the pungent smell of blood, and then began to fill the pit with shovels.
There are 5 dead giant monsters in this pit.
There are sharp wooden spikes at the bottom of the pit to ensure that when the troll steps into the trap, its feet will be stabbed and fall. At that time, the hidden hunter will appear and use a spear to give the troll the final blow.
These pits are called monster hunting pits. They come in different sizes, with the smallest one guaranteeing the capture of a giant monster.
This pit is actually only slightly higher than the troll, but because the troll is too fat and heavy, it is easy to get seriously injured if you fall from such a height, coupled with the wooden spikes at the bottom, and it is difficult to climb out.
Even if they are just tripped, their reaction to standing up will be slower. After overcoming their fear and cooperating well, the warriors can use this method to hunt down giants.
The big pit was gradually filled up, and the soldiers wiped the blood off their bodies and packed up their weapons.
"Let's go, including these five, we have killed 13 trolls!"
"Well, it's just as Lord Riva said. As long as you can overcome your fear, the giant monster is not invincible."
Dozens of people sorted out their intact weapons, covered up the traces of the trap, and then quickly retreated.
There were hundreds of hunting teams of dozens of people like this, with a total of more than 6,000 elite warriors. Under the leadership of Riva, they were scattered in the southwestern forest outside the original borders of the Kingdom of Bia.
Some of them were top scouts or veteran mercenaries, some may have once been blacksmiths or beastmen, some came to join the army voluntarily, and some were saved by others, and then each of them looked for skilled and capable people they knew, and unknowingly gathered a force that could not be ignored, and became the world-famous guerrilla army.
They have prepared a set of effective tactical rules specifically designed to target giant monsters.
Includes multiple methods of luring giants and various traps, as well as how to respond correctly when encountering them.
The massive invasion of the orcs is a disaster that threatens all Soma people, and the most serious threat is the giant monsters in the orc army.
With the presence of these huge monsters, the already weak Soma people will have no chance of fighting against the orc army on the frontal battlefield once they lose the support of the city's high walls and natural barriers. And with the presence of the giants, the fortified city is no longer solid.
According to previous repeated investigations, the giants all spontaneously walked out of the southwestern forest and joined the army of the orcs. The specific reasons are still unclear, but the method of eliminating the threat is also very direct.
Gurian and Riva analyzed and formulated a strategy in advance, from setting traps to poisoning, and even a backup plan of setting forest fire, trying every means to reduce the number of giants or even exterminate them.
This is not an impossible task. Although the trolls have terrifying power, they have low intelligence and are hungry all year round due to their huge appetite and poor digestion ability.
They have never had any physical problems whether they eat fresh flesh and blood or rotten corpses, so they never check whether there are any problems with the corpses, but this does not mean that the giant monsters are really not afraid of any toxins.
There is a poisonous mushroom mixed with another paralyzing plant toxin that can cause fatal damage to the giant monster, which is better than a trap...
…
Hundreds of agile and slender figures were moving forward quickly. When the trees were densely packed and there were too many bushes and weeds on the ground, they even jumped directly on the trees.
Some of them wore hats and some had their hair tied up. Their blue hair bounced up and down with their bodies. Only the one in the lead had long white hair.
Shiver felt the guidance of nature in the magical forest of her hometown, vaguely understood the direction of Riva, and found this place.
After jumping over a towering tree, Sivir's nose twitched.
“Stop!”
In an instant, more than 300 Fieri goblins all stopped on the trees.
"Lord Xiweier, have you found anything?"
Sivir didn't answer, but jumped down from the tree and walked over. She used the tip of her shoe to push aside some dead grass and soil, revealing a thick finger. A faint stench came from under the soil.
This is not the smell of decay, but the unique stench that the trolls have had for years.
"Aunt Sivir, this is the corpse of a troll. They must have fallen into a trap!"
"Well, no wonder we haven't encountered any giant monsters in the Black Forest for so long. Apparently someone is hunting them. Could it be the Black Ranger?"
"Let's go, it shouldn't be too far!"
This group of Firri goblins continued on their pursuit, and in the process, they gradually discovered more and more troll corpses. At first, some of them were buried, but later on, there were even many troll corpses that just fell in the forest and were not dealt with, with only some wild beasts tearing them apart.
The trolls died in various ways, some died from traps, some died from fatal sword wounds, and some died without any visible external injuries.
Even the Fairy Fieri was shocked by this scene.
On the tenth day after entering the Black Forest, the Firri goblins finally encountered a team of troll hunters. They were a group of Soma warriors who covered themselves with rotten mud and stuck weeds on their hats as camouflage.
They were cleaning up the battlefield. There were three huge monsters lying on the ground, and two Soma warriors were lying on the ground in a bloody mess. Several people were digging pits for the dead. In this case, the bodies of their fallen comrades could not be brought back to their hometown.
Although they discovered the other party first, the Fieri elves had no intention of hiding and appeared directly in front of these warriors.
After a brief moment of tension, Shiver made clear her purpose, which surprised the Soma warriors.
The Fairy Fieri, a mysterious immortal species, actually came to join the Black Ranger.
A day and a half later, in a canyon that was a temporary repair camp for the guerrillas, Shiver met Riva again.
By the campfire, Riva, wearing a windbreaker, had a cold and vicissitudes of life on his face. He was watching the Fieri goblins approaching with several teams of hunters from afar, his eyes mainly focused on Sivir.
The same is true for Sivir.
Riva has changed so much, from his appearance to his aura. There is a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. Sitting there he looks like a hero from a legend.
No one around could match Riva's temperament, but Shiver still knew him, the young Soma man who had been stabbed to death by her. The confusion and fear in his eyes at that time formed a sharp contrast with Riva at this moment.
After pretending so many times, coldness and calmness gradually became Riva's habitual expressions. He listened to Gurian's wonderful ideas so many times, especially when Gurian explained them patiently every time, he gradually understood the deep meaning of them.
Compared to the first time he saw Sivir, Riva was not emotionally disturbed at this moment, but Sivir was quite shocked.
"Lord Riva, these Firri goblins want to see you!"
The leader of the hunters who first came into contact with the goblins reported the situation to Riva, who just nodded slightly and continued to look at Shiver.
"Ms. Sivir, we meet again!"
Riva gave a kind smile to show that he didn't take what happened to heart.
At this time, Youyi came back from reconnaissance outside and jumped down directly from the top of the canyon. Her long hair dragged behind her with dots of fluorescent light, which made some fairies' hearts jump. But they found that she landed on Riva's shoulders very lightly, and then looked at this group of so-called fairies with great interest. The little girl's delicate appearance made the Fieri fairies feel ashamed.
"Stars!"
This thought came to Sivir's mind without any suspense.
At this moment, Sivir took the lead, kneeling on one knee and lowering her head slightly, taking off the bow and arrow and holding it on her head. The Fieri fairy behind her immediately followed suit.
"Lord Black Ranger, the Fairy of Firri hopes to join your army and fight this terrible disaster together!"
Yui looked at them curiously.
"There are only 300 of you?"
Sivir looked up and smiled.
"I have already sent requests to various Firri fairy settlements and other immortal species. They will be a force that cannot be ignored!"
