Heroes of the Invincible Knight

On the endless snow field, a human city is particularly eye-catching, becoming the only mottled spot in the frozen white world thousands of miles away.

The smoke of the war has not yet dissipated, and the corpses of snow giants and humans are piled up around the Snowfield City. The large expanse of snow is completely dyed red by the blood, and the intertwined corpses and mottled blood stains are dyed on the ground with a white background. A cruel picture scroll.

"Hurry up, take him back to Miracle City!"

"There are still people alive here, quickly carry them back!"

"The iron horse here is useless, it has been completely deformed, and must be replaced immediately!"

"Hurry up and push the snow giant's body out!"

"One two one, get up!"

A group of soldiers lifted up a seven-meter-long snow giant corpse,

In Xueyuan City, everyone has been busy since the dawn. The outer positions need to be cleaned up. Most of the various horses and ground spikes have been destroyed by the snow giants. Many corpses are still hanging on the horses. Although there is no need to worry about the smell of corpses on the snow field for a long time, it is impossible to let them go. A pile of corpses were piled up on the ground like this.

The soldiers first restrained the corpses of their own fallen soldiers. The scene of the battle with the snow giants was very tragic. Many corpses had no human form at all. They could only be identified by dog ​​tags and put into restraint bags. They brought back the miracle through the teleportation array. Go to the city and return it to the family.

Originally, the use of the teleportation array was a certain amount of consumption. It seemed that there was no practical value for transporting corpses. However, an army with a strong sense of belonging usually attaches great importance to the corpses of comrades-in-arms. A means of bringing people together.

But the snow giant's corpse was easier to deal with. Those who died outside the battle line, when the snow giant came to clean up the corpse at dawn, the Snowfield City side did nothing to stop them. Let the snow giant clean up, but of course it is impossible for the snow giant to come in and clean up the large number of corpses piled up in the defense line. They can only be carried out one by one, and then the snow giant will send someone to collect the corpses. The whole process was quite harmonious, there was no mutual attack, and both sides had a tacit understanding.

And some damaged equipment should be replaced as soon as possible. The equipment specially built to stop the snow giants, such as the large iron horse, was continuously sent from Miracle City after it was built, and the ones destroyed by the snow giants were replaced. , Not just replacements, after yesterday's battle, the Griffon Legion also summed up their experience and reinforced some weak points discovered in the battle, so that they can withstand a few more rounds of snow giants' impact in the next battle.

"How much was the loss yesterday."

"The Griffin Legion suffered about 15,000 casualties, of which more than 7,000 were killed and more than 2,000 were seriously injured. Perhaps less than half of the remaining wounded could continue to go to the battlefield after treatment."

Rhodes had a serious face when he reported the casualties of the Griffon Legion to Richard. A total of 35,000 Griffin Legion soldiers from seven banner regiments were placed on the outer front yesterday. The casualties in the first battle yesterday exceeded three points. One, with such heavy casualties, even Rhodes, who is used to fighting, could not be unmoved. After all, this Rhodes is the Rhodes when he was a human, not the fallen Rhodes, but also Keep the knightly courage and kindness.

"Has the rotation of the army been completed?"

"Well, the 1st, 3rd and 4th Banner Regiments, which suffered serious losses, have already arranged to return to Miracle City to rest today. The defense line will be taken over by the Ninth and 10th Banner Regiments and part of the Dragon Army."

The army that was too severely damaged in the battle had to go back to rest and replenish its troops for the last month before it could recover its combat effectiveness. Now relying on the teleportation array between Miracle City and Xueyuan City, this battle turned Li Cha's side into a wheel battle. The troops whose combat power was damaged would go back to rest and let the troops waiting to recharge their batteries in Miracle City hurry up to fill in the gaps.

"When all the troops are familiar with the outer front tomorrow, we will adjust the five flag regiments, let the Silver Wing Legion also join the battle, and build a defense line extending 300 meters away from the current front line."

"Yes, my lord!"

…

"call…"

Standing on Xueyuan City, Li Cha heaved a sigh of relief looking at the front line that had basically been rectified below.

The snow giant's night attack he was most worried about did not happen, and the Griffon Legion had one night to adjust and strengthen the defense line.

Otherwise, with the current strength of the Snow Giants, if they continue to attack, the outer front that has already been destroyed must be abandoned. In other words, they can only activate the shield function of the energy tower to breathe slowly and gain a little time to adjust. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Li Cha does not want to use the power of the energy tower. Although the shield is powerful, the cooling time is extremely long, so it can only be used in the most dangerous time.

Now that the snow giant king has not shown up yet, if a few large tribes force them to activate the energy shield, the subsequent battle will be even more difficult.

Although the first battle was won beautifully, Li Cha knew very well that the Snow Giant was not weak, and the Snow Giant Royal Court hadn't entered the arena yet, and the real battle would be when the Snow Giant Royal Court got serious and went off in person.

…

Snow Giant Camp

"Should we just surround them like this and let humans continue to strengthen their defenses?"

"Hullier, there is no place on the snowfield where humans can get supplies. Let's just surround them like this. Maybe they won't be able to survive by themselves after a while."

"That's right, Lord Hulier, I don't think we need to take the initiative to attack at all. We just need to trap these humans in the city to death. If they are willing to stay in the city, then we will not release any of them. Here On the snow field, it depends on whether they lasted longer or we lasted longer."

"No, their number seems to be increasing. I'm afraid there is some way we don't know to connect with other places."

"this…"

"How is it possible? This is the core of our snow field, with a radius of thousands of miles. Apart from our snow giants, there may be no other forces."

"I'm afraid there are some humans hiding in the city, they came out at night."

The snow giants kept finding excuses, trying to use it as a reason not to attack.

In fact, besieging a strong city with a strong defender's fighting will is indeed the best way. If the city's supplies are cut off and the city is surrounded for a year or so, it will basically collapse.

But Xueyuan City is obviously not an ordinary city. Xueyuan City can obtain a steady stream of material and manpower support from the Northland through the teleportation array in the city. The human and material resources of the land are supporting it. Xueyuan City is now a city that is not afraid of being besieged.

The snow giants are actually not stupid. Snowfield City, from the way it appears to the army defending the city and its inexplicable teleportation ability, reveals strangeness everywhere.

Including Hu Lier, the leader of the Snow Wind Department, few snow giants actually believe that this human city can be trapped by siege. If it is really an ordinary city, it is impossible to build it on the frozen soil of the snow field. At the beginning of the deployment of the outer front, even long trenches could not be dug, and ground thorns and iron horses could only be used instead.

It’s just that it’s not stupid, it’s not stupid, all the tribes were stunned after today’s temptation, if they really want to attack, they can’t afford the loss, even the three major tribes don’t have the prestige to drive the big and small If the vassal tribes go to die, their reputation on the snow field will be bad.

The only prestige on the entire snow field that drove a large number of snow giants to attack the city regardless of casualties was Wang Tingtate's family.

Now the support from the royal court has not yet been seen, and even because the time is too short, there is no verbal clear order, let alone small and medium-sized tribes, even large tribes like the Baifeng tribe are unwilling to fight with their tribes. Anyway, building a city on the snowfield is the responsibility of the entire Snow Giant family, so why let them bear the huge loss alone.

Except for Hu Lier from the Snow Wind Department, most of the leaders of the Snow Giants are just pretending to be confused. Today's loss really hurts them a bit.

This is exactly the drawback of this kind of tribal alliance. The bottles and jars of each family are private property, and it hurts to break one. Even if they know that delaying it will only give humans time to strengthen their defenses, no one is willing to go Strong headed. Even Hulier from the Xuefeng Department didn't insist after mentioning it. Of course, he refused to let him use the Xuefeng Department as the main force. The estimated loss has exceeded his bottom line.

However, precisely because the snow giants only besieged and did not attack, Li Cha and Xueyuan City gained precious time to defend themselves. Pairs of soldiers came out of the teleportation array and were strengthened to various positions, and a large number of iron horses were fixed more densely. On the outer line of defense, the entire Xueyuan City began to look like a hedgehog.
