Chapter 109: Heavy Casualties

  Even little kids know that cavalry without speed is like a phoenix without feathers, not even as good as a chicken, and may not be able to beat infantry. Seeing an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, the Frost Giant elder, who had been hit on the head and was furious, let out a loud roar and immediately became majestic, jumping out from behind the ice pillar and directly commanding his people to charge towards the human cavalry.

  The silver-haired youth at the front waved his hand, and humans released all the arrows in their hands, shooting them onto the Frost Giant's solid skin and muscles, but they didn't break through, only shallowly inserting, without even a single drop of blood flowing out.

  The human commander didn't mind, still ordering the archers to fire, but the next wave of scattered crossbow bolts became sparse and loose. Although there were many, they sounded powerful, but still couldn't bring enough harm to the Frost Giants. The arrows stuck in the Frost Giants' bodies like scratching an itch.

  The frost giants burst out laughing, but didn't notice that the arrowheads had a thick layer of grease applied to them. As the arrows stuck into their skin, the grease also rubbed off onto their bodies.

  Just as they were preparing to charge, they suddenly saw the human leader shout a sentence, and then all humans ignited the arrows in their hands, ready to fire.

  The frost giants saw the fire and panicked, the people in front had stopped in their tracks, while those behind were still rushing forward, the frost giant's formation immediately became chaotic, and they were squeezed into a ball, each unwilling to give way.

  The frost giant in front saw the ignited rocket across from him and desperately squeezed backwards, also rubbing the oil on his body onto the frost giant behind him.

  As the Frost Giants crowded together in a tight group, Thor swung his hand down again and shot all the rockets onto the Frost Giant's body.

  The Frost Giant was originally afraid of flames, and now that his body was stained with oil, he was even more prone to catching fire. Suddenly, various sparks ignited on his body. Perhaps the Frost Giant had stayed in the ice cave for too long, and his body temperature was a bit low. Additionally, the air in the surrounding valley was too humid, so the flames did not burn fiercely as expected.

  Hart furrowed his brow and roared, "All rockets! Fire at my target!" As he spoke, he fired a rocket at the Frost Giant in front of him. Instantly, nearly five hundred other rockets flew over, concentrating within a three-meter radius around him.

  In an instant, this frost giant and the two frost giants around him were ignited by so many rockets, burning their body fat into a raging fire, while also letting out panicked screams as they frantically squeezed past each other.

  The other frost giants on their bodies did not ignite flames, but also panicked and shouted loudly, stopping the pace of pressing human cavalry.

  On the human cavalry's side, they continued to shoot out rockets that continuously fell on the Frost Giant's body, igniting one small flame after another.

  The frost giants were terrified, and even though the flames did not burn smoothly, they ignited many small sparks on their bodies, causing them to rush frantically in the opposite direction.

  Harte let out a sigh of relief. If the Frost Giant really charged over with rockets on its head, it would be terrible. Fortunately, there were 500 cavalrymen, each with a rocket, which was quite impressive in number. Adding two or three human-shaped torches made the effect even more extraordinary.

  Moreover, the Frost Giants' fear of flames is deeply rooted in their souls. Even the strongest warriors find it difficult to control their fear of fire, let alone the elderly, weak and sickly ones who remain in the tribe. So when they see the flames, all that's left in their simple minds is one thing: to flee as quickly as possible!

  Human cavalry slowly increased their horse speed, following closely behind the Frost Giants, continuously shooting out fire rockets that ignited flames, shooting at the fleeing Frost Giants. Suddenly, the remaining Frost Giants all started to flee recklessly.

  This escape was nothing to worry about, but it immediately gave human cavalry a distance to charge!

  The moment on the battlefield was fleeting, and Hart immediately raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Lance ignition, full army charge!" The human cavalrymen quickly applied oilcloth to the tip of their lances, then ignited them, and then drove their war horses with all their might, charging wildly.

  In the eyes of the Frost Giant, there were countless terrifying flames rapidly closing in at a frightening speed!

  At the mouth of the valley, behind a barrier over one meter high, the Dog Head people dug several shallow trenches on the glacier and poured large amounts of oil into them. The oil overflowed from the trenches, forming a wide oil field.

  These oils were newly manufactured during their march, and to be precise, they were extracted from the corpses of Frost Giants, possessing extremely high flammability.

  Then he set up all the obstacles that could be seen around the ditch, although they were only as high as the frost giant's calves, but in this state of rapid galloping, it was enough to take lives.

  When the Frost Giants charged towards the mouth of the valley, the Dog-Headed people had already been preparing outside for half a day. Originally, these Frost Giants were all old, weak, sick and disabled, among whom only a few young and strong ones remained, but they were also disabled due to injuries from previous battles, making it difficult for them to jump over the obstacles. Instantly, about half of the Frost Giants tripped and fell in front of the obstacles, rolling on the ground.

  The remaining Frost Giants jumped over the obstacles, and then stepped onto the slippery ice surface covered with oil, plus the uneven ground dug by the Dog Head People on purpose, and another half of the Frost Giants fell to the ground, rolling around.

  In the oily ground, there weren't many obstacles, so some of the frost giants who had already stabilized their bodies were knocked down by their own rolling tribe members, like bowling pins, and only a few people ran out of the oily ground.

  Just then, the miserable cries had already sounded from behind. The robust ones who ran out turned their heads to look back and saw that the human cavalry were stabbing the old, weak, sick and disabled people who fell in front of the obstacles with long spears, making a series of miserable cries, as well as the terrible smell emitted by the burning gun tips after piercing the Frost Giant's body.

  It wasn't until then that they finally understood, the taste of the oil and this taste were exactly the same, all the oil on the ground was actually refined from the body of the Frost Giant!!!!!

  This terrible fact was laid out in front of them, and even the last bit of courage was drained away. They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, stupidly falling into the oil, their legs and feet numb and unable to move again.

  More than thirty frost giants were killed because they fell down while running away and never got a chance to get up and run again.

  Some Frost Giants were pierced through the chest by cavalry when they stood up, and some old and weak Frost Giants did not even get to climb up before being nailed to the glacier by human cavalry with their lances.

  The frost giant who had run out was still in a state of shock, wanting to escape southward. Before he could even get his bearings, he saw pairs of gleaming, cunning little eyes appearing along the roadside.

  This is the dog-headed people they have always looked down on, and even ignore them like ants on the side of the road.

  If it were in peacetime, the Frost Giant wouldn't even bother to glance at the Dog Head Tribe. But now that they had suffered a series of setbacks and their morale was extremely low, they no longer had any will to fight, only wanting to escape, fleeing southwards, finding their main force's location, seeking safety.

  At this time, so many suspicious dog-headed people appeared, which is very annoying and headache.

  Seeing the disheartened Frost Giant, the dog-headed people's eyes burned with a flame of self-doubt and bullying the weak, exchanging lewd and fervent gazes with each other, while also making excited conversation sounds.

  This chatter is making Frost Giants even more annoyed, they can't help but want to use sharp awls to pierce their own ears and make themselves completely deaf!

  "Surround them!" Gua bellowed. "Close in!" His Dog Head warriors, led by the four frenzied fighters and Rezly, closed in on the Frost Giants.

  "Ahh!!!" The Frost Giant elder's eyes widened in shock, truly not expecting to be surrounded by the Dog Head people here! As a powerful tribe on the northern ice sheet, they only felt fear and dread when encountering Frost Worms and Centipede Demons.

  Even when facing a large crowd of humans, there are times when they suffer defeat. But what's with the sudden appearance of even the despicable Dog-Headed Men daring to surround and capture the powerful Frost Giant?!
