Chapter 24 - Episode 8 First Battle_2
www.cmfu.com发布 Lynch anxiously searched through the crowd until he saw his friend's figure, finally feeling relieved. Wislin looked a bit disheveled, with his armor damaged in several places and his helmet missing, blood-soaked hair sticking to his scalp as it hung down. The protective magic energy on Wislin's body had dissipated, leading Lynch to deduce that he must have been hit by a boulder. Fortunately, he had made it back alive.

www.cmfu.com发布 A mage couldn't help with healing wounds. By the time the Priests of the Pate temple arrived and began continuously using Divine Arts, Lynch had already summoned a Shadow Horse and was riding it towards the battlefield. He needed to see firsthand the giants' deployment and assess the losses from this encounter.
www.cmfu.com发布 Using the Shadow Horse's ability to bend light and somewhat conceal his figure, Lynch quickly flew over the battleground. About thirty giants' bodies lay haphazardly on the ground, some already turned into the best fuel for Great Mage Kuziman's flame magic. A nauseating smell of charred flesh permeated the air over the battlefield. Lynch frowned, lowered his flying altitude a bit, and carefully observed the races and equipment of these giants.
www.cmfu.com发布 All thirty dead giants were Hill Giants. This aroused Lynch's suspicion. According to multiple observations and reports from the battle areas, the giant army consisted of an equal number of Stone Giants and Hill Giants. They always combined into a single unit, whether for small scale harassment or targeted attacks on certain towns. The mixed assault of the two types of giants was their most common tactic. But now, only the melee-skilled Hill Giants were seen, so how did the long-range expert Stone Giants escape this surprise attack unscathed?
www.cmfu.com发布 The final shower of boulders must have been the work of the hidden Stone Giants, but why did they suddenly change their habits, leave the service of the Hill Giants, and sneak outside the camp to start anew?
www.cmfu.com发布 Several giant pouches scattered on the ground. These pouches are like homes to the giants. Due to their enormous size, it was difficult for them to find suitable residences, so they carried their belongings in pouches and migrated around.
www.cmfu.com发布 Lynch observed the items scattered from the pouches: a few large swords, pieces of darkened meat, some fruit, and even some giant combs. But no stones. Filling their pouches with a lot of stones was a mandatory preparation for the giants before a battle. They regularly collected stones that were the right size and easy to handle for combat. But not a single stone was seen now, so what were these giants planning? Were they planning to use their fists against the stone walls of Moon Harbor City?
www.cmfu.com发布 The dull sound of footsteps increased around him as other giants began gathering. Lynch turned the horse's head to leave the battlefield before he was discovered.
www.cmfu.com发布 Back on the city wall, the mage retracted the Shadow Horse mount. Duke Gangsa was laughing heartily, and beside him, Great Mage Kuziman was also smiling in agreement. Lynch didn't know why they were so happy, as logically, the victory over thirty giants would do little to alleviate the crisis in Moon Harbor City. What was Duke Gangsa so pleased about? Lynch glanced at the Great Mage, feeling a bit apprehensive, and decided not to approach. He bowed and left directly.
www.cmfu.com发布 In the temple's infirmary, Wislin was sleeping quietly. His arms and back were bandaged, and the wound on his head was also dressed. With the priests' blessings and Healing Divine Skills, he no longer felt pain, surrounded by a sense of fatigue, and sleep was now the fastest way for him to recover.
www.cmfu.com发布 The dwarf Morgan sat beside Wislin, silently watching his injured friend. The mage gently walked to the berserker's side and softly patted his shoulder. The dwarf looked back at Lynch, "If I had been by his side, he wouldn't have been hurt this badly."
www.cmfu.com发布 "Don't worry, he'll be fine soon." Lynch comforted the dwarf, who couldn't join the battle with his comrades because he couldn't ride a horse.
