Chapter 1637 Poisonous Mushrooms and Stormtroopers

Since the establishment of the Calydonian Mercenary Group, the Fifth Squadron has shouldered the glorious mission of being the "vanguard" who took the lead in the battle and served as the "vanguard".

It is dangerous to charge under the rain of bullets, but the greater risk always comes with greater reward-as long as the battle is won, the Fifth Squadron can enjoy the privilege of giving priority to the distribution of spoils.

The simple-minded hill giant who is eager for quick success always habitually ignores the former between "risk" and "reward", but at the same time is aroused by the latter. Howling with excitement.

Although they couldn't wait, before going into battle, the group of reckless men still had to obey Bolsson's reminder. According to the tradition of the Fifth Squadron, they each took out a bunch of colorful poisonous mushrooms from their pockets, stuffed them into their mouths, and devoured them hungrily.

The stomach of the hill giant is as strong as steel, capable of digesting almost all food. This kind of poisonous mushroom, which is enough to kill humans after taking it, is used by them as a "stimulant".

Stimulated by the poisonous mushrooms, the hill giants became wilder and more aggressive, and their pain-sensing nerves became very dull. Until their physical strength was exhausted, they would not stop fighting even if they suffered fatal injuries.

The new captain of the Fifth Squadron, Todd the Dumb, was the only one in the squadron who hadn't eaten poisonous mushrooms—the poisonous mushrooms distributed before the war had already been fed to pigs by him.

Todd is not afraid that poisonous mushrooms will damage his brain nerves. In fact, as a level 10 "savage warrior", he can enter a "furious" state at any time without the stimulation of poisonous mushrooms, and he is more powerful than those who take drugs. teammates are even crazier.

Todd, who turned on "Rage", held up the tower shield, carried the big wooden club, and led sixty hill giant mercenaries who were excited after taking drugs and fearless of pain, roaring and charging.

The endurance of the hill giants for long-distance cross-country is not comparable to that of war horses, but when it comes to short-distance charges, these tall and long-legged big men are not inferior to galloping horses!

In addition, after swallowing the poisonous mushroom, under the stimulation of the toxicity, the hill giant mercenary was extremely excited, his athletic ability greatly exceeded the normal level, and he ran as fast as the wind!

In just a blink of an eye, Todd led the Fifth Squadron into the second battalion of the Volsunger Corps head-on, brandished a big stick, swept the Asa hunter off his horse, and started killing.

The formation of the second battalion was immediately dispersed, and the Asir hunters were forced to fight with this group of crazy hill giants.

Meanwhile, Bolsson, riding Razorboar, led the remaining four squadrons, and followed the fifth squadron in the charge.

Logan Volsunger was distraught as the situation quickly turned into a melee.

The Calydon mercenary group came from Jotunheim in the north, and Shizhu Town had never dealt with this force before, and they lacked sufficient understanding of them. It was only after the actual confrontation that they realized that the enemy's fighting power was beyond imagination.

More than 300 fully armed hill giant mercenaries are like more than 300 "meat grinders"!

In such a head-to-head fight, even if one's own side can win the victory in the end, it will inevitably pay huge casualties.

However, Logan could not order a retreat.

The entangled Second Battalion could no longer escape easily, and ordering a retreat was tantamount to abandoning them to the ferocious hill giants. The result was destined to be eaten up, not even bones left.

Secondly, once they retreat, the hill giants will turn to the main battlefield to assist General Cornwallis in attacking the Midgard Colonial Corps, bringing a catastrophe to the latter.

Over the years, Logan has been committed to resolving the conflicts between the aborigines and the colonists, and has devoted countless efforts to this end. This time, Shizhu Town and the Midgard Colony can put aside their past and fight side by side, and it is also inseparable from his hard work and matchmaking.

The cause that he has worked so hard for all his life is about to bear fruit. If he betrays his allies here, the mutual trust that the aborigines and the colonists have finally established will be destroyed by him. Will go down the drain.

This is a result that Logan absolutely cannot accept!

For the sake of the overall situation, he can only grit his teeth and lead his tribe to fight against the Calydon mercenary group, and help his allies hold back this group of bandits at all costs!

At the moment of the fierce battle between the Volsunger Corps and the Calydon Mercenary Corps, no one noticed that a vigorous figure flew over the battlefield.

Incarnate as a Jotunheim Eagleman, the young mage spread his wings and soared in the air, surveying the overall situation of the battlefield with a pair of sharp eagle eyes. the hill giant.

Joan's first thought was to transform into a "mythical cockatrice", activate the 30-foot "petrified aura", fly at low altitude on the battlefield, and turn all enemies within the radiation range of the "petrified aura" into stone statues.

However, after activating the "Advanced Internal Vision Technique" and investigating the enemy's situation for a while, he had to give up this plan.

...

Scouting target: adult male hill giant/Warrior 6 (large giant)

Attributes: Strength 26, Dexterity 9, Constitution 20, Intelligence 6, Wisdom 10, Charisma 7

...

"Petrochemical Aura" is indeed an extremely efficient group-killing ability, but this ability is not perfect, and there are two weaknesses.

First of all, "Petrochemical Aura" must be maintained with "power of myth", which consumes a lot and cannot last.

Also, the petrification effect doesn't always work, the stronger the target is, the more resistant it is to petrification. As long as one resistance is successful, antibodies will be generated in the body, at least within a day, it can be immune to the same type of petrochemical attack.

Judging from the investigation results just now, the average physique attribute of the hill giant mercenaries is as high as 20. A simple calculation shows that the probability of the "Petrochemical Aura" being resisted by the hill giant is quite high. Joan doesn't want to waste the precious "myth" Power".

"Petrochemical tactics" are inconvenient to use. Is there any way to fight against many powerful hill giants at the same time and help the Volsunger Corps reduce the pressure as much as possible?

Offensive spells were first ruled out by Joan.

Magic such as "Fireball" can kill a large number of vulnerable human soldiers with one blow.

However, with the strong vitality of the hill giant, even if he took a "fireball" head-on, he would not be fatally injured, and he could still fight.

What's more, now that the enemy and the enemy are in a state of dogfighting, once the "fireball technique" is fired, it may cause accidental injury to one's own people.

The hill giant is a dull creature with a weak will compared to a strong body.

Based on previous experience against enemies, Joan felt that using "confusion control" spells to deal with these savage big men should be more effective than offensive spells!
