Chapter 1594: Caludong's Giant

"In fact, Lieutenant Colonel Henry James summoned the troops to guard against the dead as soon as he noticed the enemy's attack, and made no obvious mistakes."
"In the two hours of fighting that followed, Lieutenant Colonel James and his officers and soldiers also tried their best to resist the aggressor, paying a tragic cost of more than half of the casualties. It was only because they could not resist it. Had to withdraw from Linyuanbao."
"According to the information we collected afterwards, Lieutenant Colonel James made a decision that was not decent but undoubtedly correct. If it were not for his immediate decision to retreat, I am afraid that even half of the officers and soldiers would not be able to save them. Welcoming the tragic ending of the whole army."
After listening to Joseph Adams, Joan, Hailar and Zion could not help but looked at each other, the doubts in his heart did not disperse, but added a lot of confusion.
"Uncle Joseph, since the battle of Linyuanbao is more dominant on paper, the commander is dutiful, all the officers and soldiers fought bravely, and no traitors have troubled it. It is reasonable that we should win this battle. Why? Instead, it was defeated?" Hailar asked puzzlingly.
In fact, this is precisely the question that Joan, Audrey and Holden are puzzled.
Sir Castes suddenly coughed violently, and it took a while for calm to return. He waved apologetically to the young people who had cast their eyes on them, saying that he did not intend to interrupt their conversation.
"Just listening to your discussion of the various strengths and weaknesses against both sides, it seems that the strength is only regarded as a series of cold numbers. However, the actual war is not a game on the board. The number of strength is indeed important, and the quality is also a key factor in the success of the battle. ."
Lord Ye's old, soothing tone, although seemingly weak, is inexplicably reassuring.
"In the battlefield where thousands of troops fight, we usually don't emphasize too much on personal strength, because the strong in the general sense does not have the ability to change the direction of the war alone."
"But in some special cases, such as a tough battle or a street fight in the city, if there are so many super powers on one side, the role played at the critical moment will even be better than thousands of troops."
"Joseph, if I guessed right, there should be more than one quasi-legendary strongman among the Fijian soldiers participating in the Battle of Linyuanbao."
"As you might expect, Lord Sir, although there were not many troops sent by Fiji in that battle, at least five quasi-legendary strongmen were used, and these five people played a huge role on the battlefield, which was enough to smooth out the forces of both the enemy and us. gap."
Adams drew his pipe to his lips and took a deep breath, glancing at the faces of Joan, Hailar, and Sister Zion, whispering a key message that the young people had not yet realized.
"The mercenary regiment I mentioned just now assisted Fijians to siege the city. Don’t you think that it’s just 300 ordinary mercenaries. In fact, they are all hill giants from Caledon Island. !"
Hill Giant? !
Joan, Audrey, Holden and Hailar listened to Mr. Adams revealing the beginning of the Caledonian mercenary group, and they all couldn't help but change their faces.
In the caste society of the giants, the hill giants are at the bottom, with the largest population, but also the most brutal, dirty and greedy. It is the most unreasonable giant group.
Although the caste is the lowest in the giant society, it is despised by stone giants, frost giants, fire giants, cloud giants, and storm giants, but hill giants are after all pure blood giants.
The average height of an adult hill giant is more than 10 feet, the weight is not less than 1,000 pounds, the strength attribute is as high as 25, and the physique attribute is nearly 20.
Based on this powerful physical quality, coupled with the brutal and fierce tradition of the entire hill giant nation, it is a humanoid beast that is extremely destructive!
The most prominent cultural tradition of the hill giants is gluttony. Anything that can be stuffed into the mouth, regardless of fresh blood or spoiled garbage, they don’t mind trying. The powerful stomach can digest almost any food. The amount of food is large enough to match ten adult humans, so it is also called "large ogre".
Greedy appetite, an average lifespan of up to 200 years old, savage habits, coupled with a more vigorous reproductive capacity than other giants, makes the hill giants one of the most threatening species to human society. It is also the only giant who clearly has a "cannibalism" habit.
"There is a series of archipelagoes that have been occupied by giant hills since ancient times.
"The ancestors of these hill giants, who originally lived on the mainland, were later defeated by the frost giants with a higher caste in the civil war of the giant clan, and were forced to swear in the giant king's court in Asgard that they will not be able to meet for generations. Settled in the alpine wilderness of Donheim, you can only live on the island."
"Today, the giant Wang Ting has already decayed. The hill giants of Jodenheim don't actually need to continue to obey the vows made by their ancestors, but this group of barbaric big men has an inexplicable stubborn perseverance. Adhere to the old habits of life and take the northern coastal islands as the home."
"However, after all, the island is too narrow, with limited resources, and it can't feed too many hill giants. When the food is scarce, this group of savage big men will take a humble wooden boat and go to the coast in groups to rob the humans along the coast. Villages and towns."
"In the beginning, the opponents of these giant pirates were the Asa indigenous people. Later, with the rise of the colonial movement, immigrants from the old world replaced the aborigines to occupy the coastal zone, and the pirates of the giant pirates became the real people. Colonial settlements, every successful looting, will ruin the villages and towns into a ruin, all valuable things and food-including captured humans, all robbed, chickens and dogs are not left."
"For nearly a century, the giant pirates have been the number one enemy of the colonists of Jodenheim. Until the beginning of this century, a series of cities and military fortresses including New Avalon, the capital of the colony of Jotunheim, were established. The colonists gradually gained an advantage in the fight against the giant hills."
"At the same time, the giants on the coastal islands are also changing."
"Most stubborn hill giant tribes are still fighting against colonial forces that have become increasingly difficult to deal with, equipped with advanced weapons according to tradition. However, there are also a few clever tribal chiefs who actively change their posture and seek to colonize Cooperation."
"The giant hill tribes living on Caledon Island belong to the school that advances with the times." Mr. Adams solemnly introduced.
