Chapter 141: The Great Supplement of the Earthbound Spirit
The next day arrived quickly.
At dawn, the eastern sky had just turned white, while the western sky was still dark. Standing on the second floor of the Wizard's Tower, with the help of the wizard's eye, at the distant horizon west of Palletsburg, a line of disheveled and exhausted human refugees rose up along with the ink-like clouds. They were being driven by the Frost Giants, stumbling forward towards Palletsburg. At any moment, there would be people who couldn't move and fell to the ground, only to be trampled to death by the Frost Giants, their internal organs and brain matter splattered all over the ground, a gruesome and absurd sight.
The giants stomped their feet and burst into laughter, while the human refugees became even more terrified, desperately squeezing out their last bit of strength and potential, frantically rushing forward. Along the way, the wailing cries, the ordinary people's mad laughter and chaotic running, the sound of being trampled to death by the Frost Giants, the howling wind whistling by, and the cold voice swirling up snowflakes, all filled this land with a terrifying atmosphere of death.
In Paillesburg, both Gua and Hart felt a chill run up their spines as they witnessed the scene. Hart even felt an infinite anger burning in his chest, to the point where it was about to explode.
Hart grasped the hands of Valley Gua with both hands and said anxiously: "Great elder! Great elder! Please, I beg of you, help me save these poor people! I will definitely repay you well! These refugees will also become my subjects, and their survival will bring us even greater value!"
"Alright, no problem. If your men are willing to risk their lives, we can rescue some of the refugees. But it's impossible to save everyone... You, get ready..."
So Kaku told Hart the method, and Hart listened carefully, making sure not to miss a single word. After listening, he immediately went down to make arrangements.
Harte was making preparations while Gua Gu looked through all the eyes of the law masters, first grasping the situation around Pailos City, especially paying attention to the images transmitted back by the eastern and southern eyes of the law masters.
The eastern diviner's eye had no changes at all, not even a single breeze blew up. Everything on the crystal ball was exactly the same as it was several days ago. A bad premonition rose in Gua's heart, now that gusts of cold wind were blowing around Pailos City, why wasn't there any wind in the east? Gua moved the eastern diviner's eye back and forth, examining it carefully, but still couldn't find anything out of place.
Time is pressing, and there's no room for hesitation. Even if Xilang returns now, he has nothing to worry about as long as the rear route is prepared. The underground tunnel is already dug out, so if anything goes wrong, they can immediately flee north, which isn't a big deal either.
Kuwa looked at the image transmitted back by the eyes of the southern Fa master.
The elite human cavalry in Darlshire is gathering continuously, forming a steel dragon that prepares to destroy all enemies in front of them. Judging from the situation in the south, it won't be long before Dragon Earl sends his troops.
Wait! The human cavalry has set out! They are heading towards Palletsburg! And a part of the army is already rushing north to the human city that was destroyed by the Frost Giants!
Damn it! How dare they steal their peaches! It's really shameful! Guagua immediately wanted to open [Phantom Sound] to tell Hart, let him go and occupy these territories, don't let others take advantage of them. But then he thought again, he would become a homeless dog himself, soon not even having a piece of land, and must take the road of escape. What's the point of doing more?
Thinking of this, Gua's mind was also very bitter, and he didn't know what he hoped would happen now.
Kaguwa slowly raised his hand and pressed it gently on the crystal ball. After taking three deep breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying light shot out from them: "Come on! You damned Frost Giant, if you want to flatten Pailos Castle, be prepared to have your teeth knocked out by Pailos!"
At this moment, Kakuja's fighting spirit has risen infinitely!
As the human refugees approached Paillesburg, Guagua pressed both hands against the crystal ball and opened nine wide channels in the direction of their arrival. At the entrance to each channel stood three excellent knights of Hart, who beckoned to the refugees before galloping ahead to lead them inside from the entrance.
With this passage, plus the guidance of human knights, these human refugees suddenly saw a glimmer of hope and rushed inside with all their might, rather than crashing into the Ice Spike Stronghold as the Frost Giants had hoped, to clear a path for the Frost Giants.
The Frost Giants at the back of the army saw this scene, and in anger increased their speed, loudly shouting and driving those refugees to rush into the ice cone-shaped fortifications at a rapid and frantic pace, wanting to exceed the opening speed of the ice cone fortifications and then push human refugees onto them.
Anxiety and despair are rampant on the battlefield, and with the driving force of frost giants, many people have died. The souls of many human refugees have perished in this desperate and painful situation, filling them with all kinds of negative energy.
Kuwa clearly sensed that the land-bound spirit he had buried on the west end of the battlefield stirred slightly from its slumber. The land-bound spirit was originally a spiritual entity formed by absorbing negative energy and combining it with the magical power in the spiritual veins, and in the early stages of its formation, it existed in the form of a cocoon within the Thousand-Man Pit.
Later, without any large-scale battles, the land-bound spirit remained in this state, with no changes at all. Gū Guā had thought that it needed to go through time and magic catalysis to continue growing, but he hadn't expected such a change as soon as the war started.
At this moment, a large amount of negative emotions flooded into the battlefield, causing the cocoon of the Earth Spirit to stir. A large amount of negative energy enveloped the magic around Pilersburg and rapidly poured into the cocoon of the Earth Spirit. The cocoon began to fluctuate and grew continuously, even emitting some light.
As the cocoon of the earthbound spirit grew larger and larger, it began to absorb more and more negative energy from the battlefield, even swallowing up the souls of some unbelievers, constantly increasing its own energy.
Kua's gaze returned to the battlefield, where nine long queues of human refugees were frantically running forward from the passageway in the ice cone fort, but due to the narrowness of the passageway for so many people, a large number of human refugees were still left behind, crowded together.
The human refugees at the forefront soon entered the passage of Ice Spire, and then disappeared from the battlefield through several underground tunnels. In the back, there were still people who did not enter the passage, being driven by Frost Giants, still struggling to climb the Ice Spire, stirring up a part of the ice spires to shoot randomly, killing many human refugees.
Upon seeing this, Guagua immediately increased the activation intensity of the Ice Cone Array, making it so that the power generated by the human refugees flipping over was not enough to activate the Ice Cone Array. As a result, more and more human refugees were able to flip over the Ice Cone Array. However, there were still those who were physically exhausted and accidentally lost their strength, smashing their heads against the ice cone and ending their lives.
In the face of human refugees, the Frost Giant roared with anger, swinging his massive club to slaughter those in front of him. Blood and entrails splattered everywhere like dirty water. Suddenly, several cold lights flashed by, and several ice cones pierced his body, making him feel intense pain and dizziness from blood loss. It turned out that between him and the human refugees, several thick ice cones had blocked his path.
Perhaps it was the inaccuracy of Gua's control, or the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, but these few ice cones also pierced several human refugees. However, they successfully separated the human refugees from the Frost Giants. Moreover, at the front, behind the human refugees, the ice cones closed in with a speed that seemed to be stitched together. Those humans who accidentally fell and got up again would be stabbed to death by the ice cones, hanging on them without any mercy.
Originally thought to be temporarily safe, the human refugees who wanted to catch their breath saw this scene and didn't dare to stay for a moment, rushing forward with all their might. The ice cones were closing in like zippers on clothing.
Other entrances were the same, where human refugees and Frost Giants' pursuers met, ice cones massively pierced out, separating both Frost Giants and human refugees, and then chased human refugees to run towards the refugee camp.
Some human refugees quickly passed through the ice cone fort, entered the human refugee camp, and after a brief rest, each person put on an ice-carved or wooden-carved gourd magic mark, and escaped along another passage. Taking advantage of the Frost Giant not yet completely sealing off the entire Pailos Castle, they made their way southward with all their might.
The Frost Giants were furious, shouting and screaming as they saw the human refugees fleeing. They were enraged that these humans dared to escape despite being slaves. This shameful act was infuriating, and the Frost Giants wanted to smash the ice spears in front of them with their massive clubs and axes to vent their anger. However, they didn't realize that this would trigger an even greater launch of countless ice spears, which ended up killing several more Frost Giants on the spot.
The beast-headed priest immediately stopped the army, observed the ice cone deer fort in front of him, sneered, and then put on icy armor for several strongest frost giants, rushing forward.
