A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

When Wuyue and others set off again, there was an extra dark elf on the sleigh.

At Wuyue's "request", Bai Ye, named "Fa Lun", reluctantly agreed to help everyone for the sake of "sister" and went north with them.

After a night of fighting, Shuangtian felt a little listless at this time.

So Wuyue slowed it down.

It seems that we won’t be able to reach Reinhardt City within today…

As Wuyue expected, Beora fell into a deep sleep again, and even the bumpy sleigh did not wake her up.

Along the way, you can see giant figures on the roadside from time to time.

As soon as they saw the sleigh passing by, the giants stayed away.

Bai Ye thought of the giant's fear of the frosty sky last night...

Shuangtian, Shuangtian, where are you?

What's the relationship with the giants?

Bai Ye thought about the doubts he had when he first saw Shuang Tian.

Mellie once said that when she first came to Port Taford a few years ago, she had not heard of the existence of Frost Sky in the northern forest.

Her guess was that Frosty had migrated from further north.

And the silver-maned direwolves killed by Bai Ye have no blood relationship with Shuangtian...

At that time, Bai Ye didn't pay much attention to this. He only thought that it might be because of the lack of food in the north, or the weather was too cold...

Looking back now, I always feel suspicious.

An absolute deterrent to giants...

The violent effects of giant blood...

Migrated from the north...

The weather is cold...

Familiar but unable to remember the "Winter of Finbull"...

Three stages of "Winter of the Wolf"...

Bai Ye felt as if he was about to touch the truth.

......

Reinhardt City.

"Yes, that's it, do it again!"

Ser Balon is training new recruits and taking good care of Darien.

After learning that Darien was an archer by profession, Balon became even more interested in this young man.

Against giants, long-range attacks are naturally more effective.

There was just a whooshing sound, and an arrow hit the bull's-eye.

"Boy, your archery skills are good. Have you touched it before?" the old knight asked.

"Well, my father used to be the best hunter in the village..." When he mentioned his father, Darien's expression became sad.

Balon could tell the boy's thoughts at a glance.

I'm afraid it's not a good memory.

"Okay, let's take a rest."

With that said, Baron sat next to the young man.

"...I am just like you. My father passed away early and died in the war with the barbarians a hundred years ago. I have never even seen his face since I was born."

"My mother has been hiding this from me for twenty years. Before she left, she told me, 'Your father is a hero. He died for the country. Remember him.'"

"I don't quite understand. Since my father is a hero, why did he hide it from me for so long?"

"Now that I am a grandfather, I finally understand my mother's original intention..."

"She just doesn't want her child to follow the same path as his father."

"Boy, your father must have high hopes for you, hoping that you will take on the burden of a man and protect your sister."

"You did great, didn't you?"

"Take a whole village of people and trek through the snowfield to get here."

The old knight's heartfelt words greatly benefited the young man.

"Lord Baron, I heard... that we will not escape this time... is it true?"

"...It seems that some things can no longer be hidden..." Baron looked helpless.

"Boy, are you afraid? Afraid of swarms of giants, afraid of endless bitter cold?"

"...Afraid, of course, but..."

"But you can't be afraid, right?"

"That's right. I'm afraid it won't solve the problem. For people in the north, the cold is a training given to us by the goddess of ice and snow Dianyi. This is a grace that people in other places do not have."

"You should be proud to be a Northerner, boy..."

Are you from the North...?

Darien has never seen himself as a northerner, nor as a southerner.

It's easy to feel this way in a borderland like Duff Village.

At this moment, in the words of the old knight, the young man put himself and the North together for the first time.

"Lord Balon!"

Before Darien could say anything, the soldiers' shouts came from the distance.

A soldier rushed into the training ground and headed straight for Baron.

"What's the matter? You're in a panic." Balon asked.

"Sir, giant... giant!" the soldier who sent the message said out of breath.

"Giants? From which direction did they come? How many are there?" Balon asked.

"The city...the east of the city...the number is about fifty!"

The messenger's voice was so loud that all the recruits in the training ground could hear it.

There was a commotion for a while.

Giants are rarely seen by people in the north, but they are also heard of.

Fifty...

"Chengdong...it's okay...it's just fifty, just right." When Balon heard that it was Chengdong, he immediately felt relieved.

If they came from the north of the city, the situation would be serious...

Because that means that the Duke who guards Chartres Town has lost...

Balon let go of his worries and turned to the recruits behind him and said:

"This is a good opportunity, just for you newbies to see everything. Come with me to the east wall of the city!"

......

Sophia rushed to the east wall of the city as soon as she got the information.

"Miss." Baron greeted Sophia.

"Grandpa Baron, what's going on now?" Sophia asked.

"Please come with me to see..."

Balon led Sophia to the city wall.

I saw dozens of blue-skinned giants ranging in height, fat and thin, walking towards the city wall step by step.

"Miss, these should be coming from the direction of Takina Village in the east. Our people did not set up defenses there..." Balonghui reported.

It seems that these giants only gather together temporarily to look for food...

"Will they attack?"

"It's hard to say, but the fireworks in the city are too strong, which might attract them."

"Well... order the soldiers to prepare for battle, but not to act rashly. It's best not to fight if possible..." Sophia made up her mind.

Most people in the city don't know that there are groups of giants outside the city, and they can hide it for a while.

"Yes... the ballistae is ready, on standby at any time!" Balon gave the order.

There are hundreds of repeating ballistae on one wall of Reinhardt. As long as the giant dares to attack, he will be shot into pieces immediately.

This kind of repeating ballista can only be seen in Reinhardt City, and even the royal capital of Mel City is not equipped with one.

The blacksmiths and craftsmen in the north are not just for free. Even today, when the dwarves are reborn, Dorok's craftsmanship in the north is still recognized as excellent by most people on the mainland.

On the other hand, those giants seemed to show no signs of stopping... and were still approaching the city wall.

All the soldiers guarding the city, whether they were new recruits or veterans, stared at the giants. The soldiers who controlled the ballistas had sweat on their palms.

Since these ballistae were created, they have never been used against giants. God knows if they are of any use...

Just as the giant is about to come into range...

There was a loud boom, and a fire visible to the naked eye rose in the distance in the east.

It was obviously caused by an explosion.

This sudden change shocked everyone present.

It was not only humans who were frightened, but also the giants outside the city.

Soon, all the giants turned around and walked towards the place where the explosion occurred, no longer paying attention to Reinhardt City.

"...What's going on..." Sophia muttered.

The blizzard has blocked everything, and all residents in the northern border have evacuated into the city. Logically speaking, there should be no other living people in the entire northern border...

"Miss, do you want to send someone to investigate?" Baron asked.

"...No need, that's not something we should care about..."

Someone who can create an explosion of that magnitude is probably not an ordinary person...

It's not their turn to worry yet.
