Chapter 1595 Bloody Prince
"The contemporary chief of the Calydon tribe is the Queen of Huaia known as the 'Calydon Sow', who has both a greedy appetite and a clever mind that is rare among the hill giants."
"Queen Huaia and her younger brother Bolson selected strong young men from the tribe, trained them strictly, established a hill giant mercenary group, and worked closely with the colonists of Fizhen to serve as the new governor of Avalon, Winslow. Earl Pu acted as a thug, massacring the Asa natives who resisted colonial rule in exchange for generous rewards and food."
"Queen Huaia's remuneration for providing mercenary services is enough to feed the entire tribe, and there is still money left over to buy armor and weapons that the hill giants cannot make by themselves, which are used to equip the mercenaries under her command and enhance the combat effectiveness of the mercenary group. Strengthen the capital to cooperate with the colonists."
"To this day, Calydon Island has transformed into a super training camp that continuously cultivates giant mercenaries, and it is one of the two most important sources of mercenaries for the Jotunheim colonial authorities. The Earl charged forward and made great achievements."
"This time Master Fei went south to surprise Linyuan Castle. Queen Huaia personally led a team to participate in the battle. Five hundred giant mercenaries under her command are all elite warriors of the Calydon tribe."
"The hill giant is very talented. Even an untrained, ordinary adult hill giant can defeat three fully armed human warriors. The elite warriors trained by Huaiya and Borson have at least One against five combat power!"
"Based on this calculation, the combat effectiveness of 300 hill giant mercenaries is even greater than that of an army of 1,500. Do you still think that Master Fei's troops are at a disadvantage?"
In the face of Mr. Adams' rhetorical question, Joan and the others were speechless. They could only admit that Lieutenant Colonel James was defeated in the battle of Linyuan Castle.
If the legend about the mountain giant taking prisoners of war as rations is true, then surrendering would be tantamount to committing suicide, and they would not be able to fight again, so retreating was the only and wisest choice.
"Mr. Adams, you just mentioned that there are five quasi-legendary powerhouses in the Feizhen Corps. Can you tell us in detail who they are, and does it include the hill giant queen you just mentioned?" Huo Erton inquired curiously.
"'Calidon's sow' Huaiya, and her brother whom she relies on the most—the mercenary captain Borson, all possess quasi-legendary strength."
Joseph Adams played with his pipe casually, and continued to tell the young people the information that the Sons of Liberty had painstakingly gathered.
"How powerful Huaiya and Bolsong brothers are, we might as well wait until later to talk about them. In addition to these two brothers and sisters, there are three other key figures in the Feizhen Corps who played a key role in the battle."
"The most important one is Lord Bannister Winthrop, the commander of the southward battle, the eldest son of Earl Winthrop, the current Governor of the Jotunheim Colony."
"This noble son, who is only 22 years old, has a terrifying title among the Jotunheim aboriginals that can be used to frighten children - 'Bloody Prince of New Avalon'."
"Compared to the reputation of slaughtering the aborigines, little Winthrop is comparable to our 'butcher' Sir Laval, but Sir Laval's cruelty is only aimed at the aborigines, and it is still very good to treat the colonists of the hostile camp. Chivalrous."
"Little Winthrop is different. This noble son of an earl is said to have a special hobby that is not very gentlemanly - slaughtering prisoners of war!"
"Whether the captive is an aborigine or a colonist, if he fails to do what he wants, he will be buried alive in a pit, or rewarded as a snack to the hill giant mercenaries under his command."
"The bloody prince's reputation for cruelty made him a villain in the eyes of his enemies, and at the same time helped him win the admiration of the hill giants—compared to cruelty and bloodthirsty, it is said that even the Queen of Huaia bowed down to this prince. .”
"Little Winthrop not only possesses outstanding military commanding skills, but also has outstanding personal strength."
"It is said that he is a high-level paladin, but I don't know which god will bestow favor on a cruel and bloodthirsty person like him. I guess it is probably an evil god."
Mr. Adams casually made a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but it was a pity that everyone couldn't laugh.
"In the old days of the ancient poems, the paladin was the embodiment of kindness and integrity. It is almost impossible for a person who slaughtered prisoners of war mercilessly to become a paladin."
"However, times have changed. The title of "Paladin", which used to symbolize virtue, has long since changed its taste."
"Today's paladins are often neither kind nor upright, and the oaths they keep are not necessarily the eight virtues of knights. Even the devils in hell have paladins who swear allegiance. Bannister Wins What's so strange about someone like Luo Pu..."
Audrey said quietly.
In fact, when she said these words, she was not just simply criticizing the decline of the world, but also showing her inner self-blame.
As a paladin of the Sun God, even she herself could not fully uphold those ancient virtues, and dared not speak out against the widespread and legal slavery practices in the New World, so she had a knot in her heart, so she did not think she was qualified Criticize Bannister Winthrop.
"Little Winthrop's beliefs, I don't want to comment too much, but this person is said to have mythical power, when it inspires this mysterious power, the skin all over the body will become as hard as diamonds, no matter whether it is a sword or an arrow It can't hurt him at all."
"In addition, little Winthrop also possesses a mythical weapon called 'Meteor'. When he swings this giant sword of decapitation, he can summon 7 burning meteors from the sky. Where the meteors fall, all creatures and Buildings would be devastated, with little chance of surviving."
"Yesterday afternoon, we managed to contact Lieutenant Colonel Henry James, and learned first-hand information about the Battle of Linyuan Castle from him."
"Lieutenant Colonel James specifically mentioned the scene where the bloody prince swung his sword to summon a meteor shower. Seven meteorites fell down, almost destroying the north gate of Linyuan Castle. Hundreds of our officers and soldiers stationed on the top of the city were either killed The shock wave generated at the moment of hitting the city wall was thrown away, or it was engulfed by the engulfing flames, and no one was spared."
Mr. Adams' narration made the audience in the living room feel a kind of immersive horror.
"The meteor that Bannister Winthrop summoned with the mythical giant sword sounds a bit like the nine-ring arcane 'Meteor Burst'."
Joan thought to himself, but quickly shook his head and overturned his guess.
"No! Although the 9th ring 'Meteor Burst' is very powerful, it is not enough to destroy the solid fortifications of Linyuan Castle. Besides, the 'Meteor Burst' can only create four meteors at the same time, but Little Winthrop summoned Seven meteors fell, so I really can't guess, what kind of spell is this?"
