Chapter 856: Chasing the Giant

Chapter 865 Chasing the Giant

"I always rob others! This is the first time I'm robbed by someone else!" Ishmir was shaking with anger. As a sticky man in Romagnion, he had been robbing the camps of orcs and the lairs of monsters for many years. This was the first time he was chased and robbed by someone else.

"Okay, stop talking! Haven't you learned enough lessons?" Ymir complained.

If it weren't for Ishmir's greed in late autumn, why would they be here? Because of the winter, Ishmir hoped to make a good fortune before the heavy snow blocked the road. Hunting and gathering became the main source of income for Windhelm City!

The fresh mushrooms in the Dark Forest have become the new favorites on the table of the Kingdom of Lagran! Especially after Roland shamelessly "invented" the hot pot, the mushrooms in the Dark Forest became a delicacy in the eyes of everyone! Windhelm City miraculously maintained a balance of income and expenditure on food by picking mushrooms! Bags of dried mushrooms were exchanged for boatloads of food. Although the staple food of ordinary residents in Windhelm City was mainly potatoes, they were able to have enough food and clothing!

In addition, Ismir's men were almost becoming soldiers of the hunting team. The low-level monsters and wild beasts with high meat yields in the Dark Forest were all their prey. With these, Baron Ismir was able to maintain the normal operation of the territory, and he could also spare some time to upgrade the industry and expand the city defense!

As a result, when winter was approaching this year, Ismir and his men unexpectedly encountered a Cyclops. This legendary creature gave everyone a great shock! After all, they had seen living dragons, but it was the first time they had seen a living Cyclops! However, nature was full of wildness. These Cyclops directly attacked Ismir and his men. With their excellent mobility, Ismir and his men returned safely, but they never expected that the giant hunter could track them based on their traces!

The outskirts of Windhelm City were looted unexpectedly. In addition to the financial and livestock losses, what made Ismir distressed was that many of his people were killed and wounded.

This is why the above battle happened. Ismir, who was seeking revenge, assembled a fairly good army and asked for help from Lulong Fortress. Ismir, who thought he had won, planned to end it all before midwinter! But the powerful fighting power of the Cyclops gave everyone a head-on blow!

"They are too tough!" Nogai, the fourth-level dragon knight instructor, said bitterly. The breath of a flying dragon is naturally not comparable to that of a giant dragon. Similarly! Their spells are more primitive, and they basically don't know much dragon language magic.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Ismir hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern. If it weren't for these dragon knights helping behind today, it would probably not be so easy for them to retreat.

"How did you get involved with these things?" Nogai looked at the two helplessly. The rare creatures that ordinary people rarely see appeared in groups around Ismir's territory. Nogai didn't know whether to say they were lucky or unlucky.

"Is it possible that we didn't provoke them! But they provoked us?" Ishmir said speechlessly. Not everyone can encounter a wandering Cyclops looking for food!

...

"Ah? Cyclops? Ishmir was defeated by a Cyclops? Isn't that normal?" Roland muttered immediately after coming to his senses.

After all, the powerful fighting power of the Cyclops is not inferior to those high-level monsters! They are tough and strong, and they have strong hands-on ability. Once they are in groups, even the legion will be deterred!

"Giant Catcher? There is such a thing? If we don't notify the dragon knights in the Rapids to knock them down, will they be kept for the New Year?" Roland looked at Ishmir's report letter (a letter for help) and raised his eyebrows. The intelligence of the giant catcher is not low, and he can use a catapult, so the danger level is higher than that of an ordinary Cyclops! Ishmir has tasted this in advance! Those stones as big as human heads flew like rain, and the casualties of his troops were all caused by the giant catcher!

Roland also knew the danger of this thing. Compared with the muscle hammers that can only swing the sticks, these muscle hammers with brains are more deadly and dangerous! Roland didn't want to lay mines at his doorstep. If the giant catchers appeared, they must be annihilated!

"We have lost their trace!" Adolf Heinrich said with some regret.

"How could it be? That's a five-meter-tall Cyclops! Not a five-centimeter-tall ant! Can such a big target be lost?" Roland seemed to have heard a big joke that made him laugh! "Our dragon knights were dispersed by those giant catchers! Doss went late and didn't catch the tails of those cyclops!" Adolf Heinrich explained.

"..." Well, Roland was not surprised now. With the dragon's body, the giant catcher of the Cyclops might really be able to kill one with a catapult! Don't overestimate the defense of the dragon knight. You must know that Lagran is just a kingdom! It's not as big as an empire! Those dragons wearing mail and leather armor can easily be surrounded and beaten by various weapons! Being hit head-on by the stones thrown by the giant catcher of the Cyclops is no different from flying at high speed and hitting the city wall!

"Tell them to search quickly! Of course, if Ishmir is not in a hurry, I don't care! After all, those things can't swim over here, right?" Roland waved his hand and instructed. The residents of the Windhelm area who are really anxious now actually have no impact on the Kingdom of Lagran! It's hard to imagine how clumsy these giant guys are in the water. It's good enough that they don't drown themselves!

"I think it's more reliable to let them come to the door themselves!" Adolf Heinrich suggested.

"After all, winter is here, and those Cyclops can only eat their own reserves! And I don't believe that the Cyclops will not be interested in Baron Ismir's city!" Adolf Heinrich explained. Compared with digging grass roots in the forest to eat the reserve food, Windhelm, located by the Swift River, can be said to be comfortable and cozy. The rich supplies there will definitely attract the hungry Cyclops!

"That makes sense! Just order Ajax and Doss to stay in Windhelm! I mean before this matter is over!" Roland shrugged and decided to follow Adolf Heinrich's advice. After all, the one who took the initiative to attack and died was not his vassal, but still a citizen of the kingdom!

...

"Hahaha! His Majesty's relief food has arrived! Ymir! Take a few guards to provide disaster relief!" Ismir looked at the Galleon ship approaching the dock and immediately guessed the cargo inside.

"You are quite conscious, Baron!" Dos Anthony said, leaning against the mast.

"Tsk! It seems that it's not just food that's being delivered! Hello, Your Majesties!" Ismir bowed respectfully as he looked at the figure walking slowly towards him.

"No need to be polite, Baron! We are here to stop the crisis on His Majesty's orders!" Ajax smiled friendly.

"Dragon God! Thank you so much! The impact of those Cyclops has caused us to have refugees. If we don't stop them, Windhelm City may soon be out of use!" Ismir expressed his concerns.

"It is precisely because of this that His Majesty asked us to come here. Compared with flying dragons, dragons have a natural advantage in pursuit!" Dos Anthony said as he delivered boxes of goods to the dock.

"Hurry up, after unloading the goods, let the workers stay and leave with us after the end!" Ajax reminded the boatmen, worried about their safety.
