Chapter 137: Rout

  A blizzard mixed with terrifying hailstones fiercely pounded the human army, as well as the stone walls and wooden logs thrown by the Frost Giants, which could easily turn humans into pulp. These human knights, although they were all high-ranking warriors who had already awakened their fighting spirit, also couldn't withstand such an attack. They stopped at a distance from the Frost Giant's range of attack, raised their shields, and took a short rest first. The human soldiers surrounding the high platform totaled over 4,500 people.

  They set fire to the surrounding houses, withstanding the blizzard's attack. And brought flames with torches inside using leftover bed crossbows and other powerful tools to shoot onto the high platform, causing panic among the Frost Giants.

  Then, the beast-headed priest also saw that Baron Xihalt had specially prepared some giant nets with oil and was collecting them, preparing to launch them with a bed crossbow, wrapping the Frost Giants into a ball.

  If we get caught in this giant net and then set on fire, more than 80% of the Frost Giants present will be burned to death, and this war will definitely be lost.

  The beast-headed priest immediately cast an icy armor on the strongest of the frost giants, saying: "Charge over and kill the leader of those humans! I have given you invincible armor, no one can break through! Whoever kills the leader of those humans will be the new king of the Frost Giants! Possess all wealth, all women!"

  Then he shouted at other Frost Giants: "Charge! Follow the front and charge!!!"

  The strongest frost giants glared at each other, then charged forward crazily with their thick ice armor.

  Sir Valoric coolly ordered the remaining three ballistae to fire, instantly killing one of the frost giants clad in icy armor and wounding another.

  The death of this Frost Giant did not intimidate the other Frost Giants, but instead stimulated his competitors, the other three powerful warriors clad in frost armor.

  Originally, the effective range of the bed crossbow's upward shot was not very high. Adding to that, the Frost Giant had an extremely large stride and quickly stepped over the heavy obstacles. Before humans could prepare for a second shot from the bed crossbow, it charged right in front of them.

  These three Frost Giant men wearing frost armor quickly charged into the human camp and killed Baron Westhard mercilessly.

  The Baron of Zahart was suddenly surrounded by nearly two hundred aura lights, fiercely surrounding the three Frost Giants and charging forward with a loud shout, ready to use his most powerful move to kill the three Frost Giants in one blow. Just as the human knight's encirclement was about to close in, the first long spear had already touched the icy armor, the priest's beast head grasped both hands tightly, shouting in a low voice: "Explode!!!"

  In an instant, the reinforced frost armor worn by the three Frost Giants was like three giant bombs, bursting open with a loud bang.

  The dozen or so human knights closest to them were all blown to pieces by the shattered fragments of frost armor flying everywhere, while the knights behind them were more or less injured, and that loud noise also disrupted their breathing, causing many people to choke.

  Before they could react, the Frost Giants behind them had already charged up, swinging their giant axes and clubs to knock them flying or smash them into meat paste.

  In the first clash, half of the elite and backbone of the human knights were killed by the Frost Giant warriors. Then, a sudden appearance of an Ice Devil emerged from behind the human lines, summoned by the Beast-headed Priest.

  The Frost Giant went on a rampage in the human ranks for a moment, killing dozens of elite soldiers, and was then surrounded and killed by human knights, but the blow to the morale of the human soldiers was far beyond expectations.

  The greatest advantage of human beings is that they have strict military discipline and training, which can convert numerical superiority into combat power superiority. As long as the combat effectiveness of both sides does not differ greatly, victory can be achieved through numbers.

  It just so happens that the Frost Giants' weakness lies in their lack of discipline and training, instead relying on their own combat instincts to charge forward and wildly slash about.

  Three human bombs, a human shield behind an icy devil, all were sacrifices created by the beast-headed priest to offset the enemy's advantage and make up for his own disadvantage.

  These four sacrifices quickly achieved the desired effect, and on the front line of the two armies' engagement, one side's line was suddenly disrupted. The consequences were disastrous and difficult to make up for in an instant. This gap in the line would soon be enlarged, torn apart, and ultimately lead to one side's absolute defeat.

  Suddenly, a fiery red aura flashed, and a robust man leaped high into the air, his large knife radiating boundless might as it brutally cleaved through one of the Frost Giants charging at the forefront, splitting it in two with a single slash, which even ignited a fierce blaze.

  This man is Baron Sihart.

  He stood alone in front of more than two hundred frost giants, his face slightly pale, and it was clear that this knife was not easy to use.

  The power of this knife lies in its intimidation, and to boost the morale of his human soldiers, so he basically used up all his strength. If an enemy were to come forward and attack him immediately after this knife went down, he would be caught off guard.

  At this moment, the Frost Giants in the front row were all stunned, some of them looked at Baron Sihart with fear, as if he was a god, and his great sword that was stained with flames, while others shrank back.

  Before Baron Sihart could relax, several sonic booms suddenly came from the array behind the Frost Giant, and several sections of military fortress walls flew over, smashing straight towards him!

  Xihat Baron glanced at the human army behind him, which was still in chaos. He gritted his teeth, mustered up a burst of energy, and leaped into the air, landing on a massive boulder. With a fierce swing of his sword, he sent a segment of wood flying, setting it ablaze. The Frost Giants were momentarily stunned by the sudden flames. Before Xihat could even touch down on the ground, a shocking and chaotic scene unfolded before him. As if a swarm of locusts had descended upon them, the Frost Giants' rear lines launched an even greater barrage of boulders and wooden beams, which came crashing down towards them from above.

  Immediately following, the damaged walls and wood came crashing down on the human army like rain, and Baron Sieghart was unable to intercept these attacks, even being grazed by a massive boulder. The already disordered human army was further thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of rocks and wood, instantly becoming confused.

  The frost giants in the front row continued to shout and charge forward under the command of those behind them.

  Sir Hatter stood at the forefront, fighting to the death. At this time, his son, the next Baron candidate warrior Xi Han rushed forward from behind to help his father resist the almost unstoppable attack of the Frost Giant.

  Baron Xihaote pushed away Xihan, handed him a ring with their family crest on it. The ring could be used as a seal and was the symbol of the baron.
