the lord of all monsters

Chapter 36 War Observation Part II

The Nine Realms in Marvel refers to nine planets that are extremely far apart, but they all belong to the world tree system.

Jotunheim is also a planet, not to mention boundless, but also vast.

It is impossible for the Asgardian coalition forces to defeat all the cities one by one.

The optimal choice is to capture all strategic locations and break down the frost giant's will to resist.

There are three most important strategic locations:

One is the Wall of Sighs at the forefront, which has been captured.

The second is the beast lair in the Frost Plain, where the most important war weapon of the Frost Giants - the Frost Giants are kept.

The third is Urgate, the throne city of the Frost Giants.

After Laufey's death, Jotunheim is now ruled by his two sons, Helbrindy and Belest, who are also Loki's older brothers.

Even if they don't care about it.

After taking the Wall of Sighs, Thor decided to attack Urgot directly.

By capturing the throne city, capturing or killing the ruler of the frost giants, the remaining frost giants will be disintegrated.

This is undoubtedly a wise decision.

If Helbrindi and Belest stay in Urgate, then they will have to fall into a head-on confrontation with the Asgardian coalition forces, and failure is almost doomed.

And if they abandon the throne city of Urgate, they will even lose the legitimacy of continuing to rule.

Because if Loki can enter Urgate without bloodshed, he, who also has Laufey's blood, will also be recognized by Jotunheim.

At the same time, Loki also promised that if he becomes the king of Jotunheim, there will be no more wars with Asgard, and normal trade will be restored with several other worlds.

Thousands of years of war have left most of Jotunheim weary of endless, pointless wars.

After the Wall of Sighs was breached, Loki issued a declaration of peace.

Except for the Frost Giants, most of the giants who are not keen on war, such as the Cloud Giants and the Fog Giants, took the lead in expressing their surrender to Loki's rule.

And the actions of these giants have also set an example for other giants who are still swaying. More and more giants are beginning to sway, and even break away from the army of frost giants.

Even for the frost giants who are still resisting, they are also desperate for this war, and now they are only short of a reason to surrender.

Zhang Yu was surprised by the smoothness of this battle.

It can be said that if it weren't for Loki's special status, even if the Asgardian coalition forces could still win in the end, it would never be so easy.

As the war progressed, Zhang Yu's understanding of both sides became clearer, and he also gained a deeper understanding of many things that seemed plausible before.

First of all, it is very counterintuitive: the frost giants are not good at melee combat.

Compared with the strength brought to them by their huge size, their natural control over ice, snow and weather makes almost all of them excellent ice mages.

This is also the reason why Rocky himself is not good at melee combat but has excellent magic talent.

On the contrary, the Asgar Protoss of Asgard are more good at melee combat, and they also advocate personal force.

This made Loki, who was educated in Asgard, not have a smooth childhood, and embarked on a path of illusion assassin that was not suitable for him.

Moreover, compared to the year-round low temperature of minus 60-90 degrees in Jotunheim, where the frost giants live, Asgard's spring-like climate is too hot for the frost giants.

Although it is not unbearable, Loki, who lives in a high-temperature environment all year round, cannot maintain the sturdy body of the frost giants, and looks very thin.

In contrast, Thor is a very typical Asgardian.

Physically strong, energetic, bold and unrestrained, keen on melee combat.

Loki seemed a bit out of place with a normal Asgardian child in this environment.

And children are innocent, and no one likes to play with "weirds".

It is said that Sif cut off her beautiful blond hair as a prank by Loki because she liked to play with Thor more when she was young...

cough……

far away...

Having said that, compared to the excellent ice magic talent, the Frost Giant's melee combat only has strength, body weight and high body density as bonus items.

Therefore, Frost Giants generally raise a wide variety of Frost Giants as the main melee force.

And summon ice elements, activate ice and snow puppets, as a supplement.

Frost behemoths, ice elementals, and ice puppets, although powerful and numerous, do not have too strong intelligence.

Rely entirely on the command of the frost giant.

Once a large corps is engaged in combat, such command will appear very chaotic.

……

The Sunset Fortress at the end of the Sunset Plains is the last bastion for the throne city of Urgate.

Behind it is the Frost Plain, and in the center of the Frost Plain is the capital of the Frost Giants - the throne city of Urgate.

After the Wall of Sighs collapsed, the Frost Giants' defeat could even be described as an avalanche.

This is not because the frost giants are not brave, but because of the gap in combat strength.

As soon as the overwhelming frost behemoths came out like a tide, they would be covered by dwarves' artillery fire.

Their icy skin, which is hard to hurt by swords, is also vulnerable to the special alchemical bombs made by dwarves.

The towering ice and snow golems will throw the hill-sized ice, if not blocked, they will hit the Asgardian coalition forces like meteorites.

But these huge ice blocks are often still in the air, and they are smashed by the light elves and the Warner Protoss with magic.

It will even directly hit the Frost Behemoth Legion that is charging.

In Jotunheim, a world full of ice and snow, it is natural to control the ice and snow giants and even use a lot of raids and tunnel tactics behind enemy lines.

But even if the continuous artillery fire of the dwarves was bypassed.

It is also difficult for a war beast group composed of tens of thousands of frost behemoths to deal with an Asgardian battle group of a thousand people.

Well-equipped, there are also various Asgardian battle groups blessed with military magic. Every five people form a small team to form a battle formation. Killing the frost behemoth is like chopping melons and vegetables.

Alchemy weapons with runes such as "destroy", "armour-breaking" and "sharpness" attached, can cause fatal damage to the frost giants with a single blow.

Thor also used his thunderbolt and hammer to tell the frost giant what Thor is.

The resistance of the Frost Giants could not be called heroic, nor could it be said that they did not give up life and death.

But these brave and fearless souls finally took advantage of Zhang Yu.

Yes, Zhang Yu was doing some serious work while paddling.

He released Valkyrie to harvest the fallen heroes on the battlefield.

On such a high-intensity battlefield, the Frost Giants certainly suffered huge losses, but it was impossible for the coalition forces to remain undamaged.

Now, these fallen heroic souls have greatly supplemented Zhang Yu's Hall of Valor.

It's also a good place to stay.
