Chapter 798 - Invasion of the Blood Giants (2/2)

”

Angela promptly ordered, “Turn the canons around and attack the Blood Giant!”

A dozen or so of the enormous cannons swiftly turned around. I pointed my sword forward and shouted, “Everyone stand your ground! Do not be swept away by the waves created by the impact of the canons. Once you fall, you’ll be burnt to crisps!”

Everyone roared in laughter and whooped at the cannons. All of the Steel Blade Horsemen steadied their shields and dug their swords into the ground to steady their stances.

In that next moment, cannon fire sounded in continuous rounds. The shells exploded against the Blood Giant Kehl. In a blink of an eye, the Blood Giant’s chest armor was smashed to smithereens. His body was just too big, and as such, dodging the cannon fire was near impossible. Furthermore, the Dragon Crystal Cannon’s damaging power was just too great, and his health bar was dropped visibly.

“D*mn…”

Wan Er’s cute lips were gaping as she exclaimed, “If he dies from the cannon fire, then this Blood Giant will probably be the most pitiful God tier BOSS in all of Destiny, no?”

I gave a long nod, “Yup!”

Cannon fire continued to ring out and the screams of the Blood Giant were endless. The waves that the Dragon Crystal Cannons created continuously swept over us. Thankfully, the Steel Blade Horsemen were incredibly heavy and could hold their ground. They even had heavy shields to block the advance of the Magic Sword Masters.

……

“Grrr….”

The Blood Giant roared and rammed his battle mace against the dam. “Peng!” An enormous crack split the dam. One of the Dragon Crystal Cannons was also smashed by the blow. I could see the body parts of soldiers flying through the air. Looks like relying on the Dragon Crystal Cannons to kill the Blood Giant wouldn’t be a safe bet either.

The Crown Prince Theodore’s face froze. “We cannot let him continue this rampage, and we can’t allow the deaths of the Ba Huang City soldiers go to waste like this. Inferno Knights, let’s add some fuel to the fire!”

“Yes sir!”

A group of cavalrymen from the Flame Dragon Army split off from the main group. They were clothed from head to toe in light, fiery red armor. Furthermore, each one of them carried a red bow in their hands. After placing their arrows on the string, they began to light the heads of their arrows. It looked like the arrows were also covered in poison as well. As the arrows buried themselves in the Blood Giant’s skin, a purple hue began to spread out within his skin and the injuries wouldn’t close up.

“Steel Crossbows!”

Second prince Owen shouted out more orders. The Xia Yu Army began pushing three enormous crossbows out. Arrows as thick as my arms flew out one after another. Furthermore, each arrow had a rope attached it at the end. “Pu, pu, pu.” The arrows deeply pierced the Blood Giant’s body. Another group of soldiers began dragging the ropes, making the Blood Giant start to sway.

I glanced around and couldn’t help but raise a brow. The Blood Giant Kehl, a legendary warrior, was just going to die like this? That couldn’t be it, right?

Just as I predicted, and as if confirming what I was thinking, the Blood Giant Kehl roared and pulled out the steel arrows that were in his body. He glared at the group of humans and suddenly leapt up. Nobody would have imagined that he would have such momentum in his jump. With the fire from the river, he soared into the sky and landed right in the midst of the Steel Crossbows!

“Peng!”

Three of the crossbows were smashed to pieces. What was even worse was that the impact from the Blood Giant’s landing caused splash damage. An entire group of Xia Yu Army soldiers were instantly killed. The rest had their health drop drastically. It was a shocking scene!

……

Owen immediately retreated several steps. Even so, he mustered his courage and picked up his blade. He charged forward, roaring, “Steel Net Formation! Do not be afraid, you are warriors of Tian Ling City. For the sake of our home country, what sacrifice is more fitting than our own lives?!”

“Shua!”

Owen moved incredibly fast and urged his horse to gallop straight between the Blood Giant’s legs. He swung his blade, leaving a deep mark in the giant’s legs. Unfortunately, the cut wasn’t deep enough. Otherwise, if he had cut through the tendon, the Blood Giant wouldn’t be able to stand up again.

A group of Xia Yu Army soldiers all rushed forward. The Blood Giant gave a crude smile and swung his mace, throwing a dozen or so people into the air. At the same time, he smashed his fist into the ground, creating a surge of power that impacted about a hundred people. Dou Qi rose up all around us. Who would dare go against such a strong enemy? Even Wan Er and I had to exchange glances to confirm what we were thinking: let the NPCs fight the BOSS for now. We weren’t going on this suicide mission!
