Baya's Retreat

"Kill these little bastards and avenge our people!"

Seeing the Hobgoblin loading their ammunition, Baya finally realized what was happening and hurriedly swung his Dragon Bone Pickaxe, preparing to charge the Line Infantry's line.

Seeing their leader so brave, the Frost Giant quickly followed suit, brandishing their weapons and charging forward with great momentum.

But the Hobgoblin in the front row retreated to the back, and the Hobgoblin behind them followed to the front, launching another volley.

This was the platooning method that the Steel Frenzy designed for these Hobgoblin Line Infantry. Due to the increased rate of fire of the muskets, three ranks of soldiers could essentially maintain the front line and provide a continuous barrage of fire.

At the same time, several Chimera swept through the air, spewing lines of fire along the path of the Frost Giant' charge, providing cover for the line army.

The Frost Giant were unable to get close for the time being and could only passively take hits.

"Ready, fire!"

"Bang!"

With another deafening gunshot, several more Frost Giant fell.

Thanks to the Dragon Scale Armor he was wearing, Baya was unharmed, only suffering a few stray bullets that pierced his arm.

The Frost Giant looked around and saw that most of the bravest Fighter who had followed him in the charge had fallen, and the rest had become cautious and no longer dared to charge forward.

"Damn it"

Baya's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and veins bulged on his forehead, which was covered in burn marks.

"How dare you oppose the great Frost Giant Warrior! I will stain my body with your blood!"

It can only be said that he is indeed Frost Giant Warrior who once participated in the hunting of dragons.

With a fierce shout, Baya, relying on his full Dragon Scale Armor, a leather shield in one hand and Dragon Bone Pickaxe in the other, charged forward despite the hail of bullets, tearing apart the Hobgoblin army's lines.

The Dragon Bone Pickaxe swung, easily piercing the bodies of the front-row Hobgoblin, the pale bones stained with blood.

This incomparably powerful Frost Giant Warrior rampaged through the ranks, and within just a few breaths of close combat, the Hobgoblin Line Infantry suffered dozens of casualties.

"Foolish giant! How dare you provoke the Embers of the Burned Kingdom!"

With a shout, Dror rode his Land Dragon Beast and charged forward. The Frost Giant, who was already in a bloodthirsty frenzy, was caught off guard and knocked to the ground.

But Baya, being a seasoned Frost Giant Warrior, used the momentum to roll a few times on the ground, seized the opportunity to crawl under the Land Dragon Beast, and used his sharp Dragon Bone Pickaxe to rip it open.

"Sizzle!"

The thick skin of the land dragon was ripped open, and rich fat and mixed internal organs flowed out uncontrollably.

"Aww—"

The Land Dragon Beast let out a heavy wail and slowly rolled to its side, causing the ground to tremble. Dror also fell to the ground.

"Lord Chimera, save me!"

Seeing that the Frost Giant was about to pounce, Dror quickly called for reinforcements.

Chimera is the oldest being in Dragon Valley, and even in the entire kingdom. Although its followers often call it a "beast," even the Hobgoblin leader Dolo treats it with respect, not to mention Dror.

Upon seeing that the person calling for help was Dror, who usually fawned over him, the Chimera swooped down from the sky, pounced on the Frost Giant's back, grabbed its torso with its claws, and spewed flames from its dragon head.

"Boom!"

The flames raged against the Frost Giant's back, making his already severely burned back even more charred.

At this moment, Baya didn't seem like a Frost Giant, but rather more like a stone giant of some obsidian subspecies.

However, Chimera did not expect that her reckless attack would provoke such a reaction.

"Ah--"

Baya cried out in pain, but still maintained a keen sense of combat. He grabbed the Chimera's forelimb with one hand and pulled it off his back.

"Boom!"

The ground shook again.

The Chimera's massive body was thrown to the ground, rolled several times, and barely managed to get up.

"Come!"

"Chimera, your fur will become my new cloak!"

However, the Frost Giant gave it no chance to catch its breath. Instinctively, it leaped up and pounced on the Chimera, locking its lion-headed neck with its strong arms.

"Roar--"

But the Chimera didn't just have one head; its dragon head fiercely bit into the giant's arm, spewing out scorching flames once more, but the Frost Giant wouldn't let go.

Dust billowed and trembled as the giant and the three-headed Chimera, two enormous creatures of similar size, locked in a fierce and grappling battle.

The other two female Chimera wanted to come forward to help, but without the Dragon Blood Blessing, they were too small and weak to participate in the battle.

The Frost Giant Baya holds an absolute advantage in both strength and combat skills, and is gradually pushing the Chimera to the brink of destruction. The Chimera's only useful means of counterattack is fire.

Taking advantage of the Chimera's exhaustion, Baya grabbed its head from behind, wrapped his arms tightly around it, and tried to choke it and break its neck, just like his brother, "The Bone Breaker."

"Haha, I've got you!"

The Chimera fought desperately against the Frost Giant's entanglement, scratching with its claws, butting with its ram's head, and biting with its lion's head, but all to no avail.

"Keep your breathing steady..."

Fortunately, their movements froze, allowing Dror to find his target. He held his breath, raised his lance, aimed at the Frost Giant's body, and pulled the trigger—

"Bang!"

The bullet pierced the Frost Giant's body, causing him to let out a wail. His arm loosened, allowing the firmly restrained Chimera to break free.

"Awooo—"

The Chimera gasped for breath, flapping its wings desperately as it rose rapidly into the sky, no longer wanting to fight the reckless Frost Giant hand-to-hand.

The Frost Giant, still unsatisfied, got up from the ground, looked defiantly at the fleeing Chimera, pounded his chest, and let out a battle roar.

"Coward! Keep fighting me!"

He walked from the front lines back into the Frost Giant ranks, and no one dared to provoke this crazed Frost Giant Warrior.

But just then, the sound of horns came from afar.

"Waaah—"

The sound was like a howling wind, yet even more so.

Baya instantly recognized the familiar sound; it was the bugle call of the Everfrost Tribe, signaling Chief Kasa Everfrost to summon the tribes back to their homeland.

He gazed at the rock-solid fortress, then looked around at the corpses of the Frost Giant who had died heroically in battle, his face grim.

"Damn it, so many Fighter have been lost here for nothing."

Tema stepped forward to dissuade them, saying, "Captain, Chief Kasa said that we must assemble immediately upon hearing the horn, and also..."

He paused for a moment.

"Our people have already shed too much blood in this barren valley where there is little to no profit."

Baya's expression changed drastically. He squinted at Tema, and finally sighed, saying, "Let's retreat and go find Kasa."
