Cries of anguish rang out through the small coastal city.
They sent more and more people into a panic.
At the same time.
They naturally also drew the local lord's attention.
He was an ordinary baron.
He had been taking an afternoon nap in his bedroom.
But a servant woke him and informed him of what was happening.
Having his afternoon nap interrupted.
Left the lord somewhat displeased.
But with questions and a grave expression, he still led a group of soldiers toward the shore.
By the time he arrived.
The ordinary subjects on the shore had already fled without a trace.
Only some fully armed soldiers and a few spellcasters remained.
Every one of them looked solemn, braced for what was coming.
By this time, the lord.
Had also spotted the giant gradually approaching across the distant sea.
He said gravely:
"It's actually real... so huge... it should still be very far away, yet I can see it so clearly...
Is that one of the Frost Giants?"
"My lord! By my estimate, the target is still about five kilometers away.
For it to be so clearly visible from that distance.
It must be one of the Frost Giants!"
A commander wearing armor and a cloak spoke.
"So... do you have a way to deal with it?"
The lord looked at the commander who had spoken.
He was the strongest person in the territory.
A level 11 Modified Warrior.
"Giants like this are generally very powerful. We mustn't attack directly.
But we can use the Magic Cannons to bombard the area around it as a warning.
If it's smart, it should recognize the danger and retreat."
The commander spoke after some thought.
"Then let's do that!"
After hearing him out, the lord nodded.
The commander turned and began issuing orders.
