Chapter 717: Chapter 507 Hobgoblin Giant_2

One-on-one, those monsters indeed possess innate advantages, but when facing human legions assembled and armed to the teeth, it should be they who are afraid.

If the Trolls hid within the Troll Mountains and never emerged, they could perhaps continue to reign supreme; but the moment they step out, they will inevitably become stepping stones for Baron Gaven to establish his dominance over the Giant Plains."

Raymond had personally witnessed the migrating army’s flank carts and tower carts.

Those uniquely designed chariots are nothing but easy prey for our Ruitawen Light Cavalry.

However, against those monster armies, they are genuine weapons of mass destruction, especially after Ruitawen replenished an astonishing number of crossbow bolts. Most of the civilians can now arm themselves, relying on those chariots for long-range attack support.

"Then I am relieved," Carden said, fully trusting Raymond’s judgment. Since he said so, there must be no mistake.

Under Gaven’s leadership, the migrating army rested in Ruitawen for three full days. When they set off again, the two main legions not only completed their basic re-equipment, but the size of the convoy had nearly doubled—the numbers of ordinary light and heavy carts and the draft animals pulling them.

The carts were loaded down with all sorts of goods.

The morale of the migrating army had reached a peak. Initially, they had their doubts about this migration.

Now all such worries had vanished. They were now firmly convinced that Lord Gaven could safely bring them to the valley and provide them with an unprecedented new life.

He had both the capability and the wealth to do so.

When they hit the road again, the weariness from the continuous travel had been completely rested away, and the adaptation in various aspects was finished, entering a new phase—enhancement.

This stage primarily involved further adaptation, plus the enhancement of the civilians’ physical fitness, allowing them to gradually get used to a faster pace of travel.

Their migration speed was further increased: sixty kilometers on the first day, seventy kilometers on the second day, eighty kilometers on the third day, and eighty kilometers on the fourth day.

Then they stopped once more, for they had arrived at their greatest challenge—the Giant Plains.

The migrating civilians showed not the slightest fear; on the contrary, they were eager to try their hand.

Because Lord Gaven had already made arrangements here—a colossal monster army was waiting for them.

A temporary military meeting convened on a vast grassland clearing—the open field was the best concealment, while Eye of Insight coupled with Dragon’s Sight Glasses ensured that within hundreds of meters, nothing real or illusory could escape Gaven’s sight.

The one seated at the head was not one person, but two.

One was Gaven, and the other was Zalanda, who had just signed an alliance with the Saladas Family.

To the right, in order, were Kopofiel, Veranika, Nola, Anna, Darren, and Kellysha.

To the left, in order, were Blood Claw, Susie, Bark, and Cangya.

The sixteen hundred Gnolls called up from Dragon Oak Territory by Gaven had, more than a half month ago, smoothly joined forces with Blood Claw and the others, and had played a significant role in the subsequent wars.

Never mind the small number of Gnolls; they are the essence of the entire Dragon Oak Territory, all being Dragon Vein Gnolls with opened professional levels. They are absolutely formidable in utility.

"General Blood Claw, please, if you would, brief us on the situation here," Gaven said, cutting to the chase, "Start with the military strength you now have."

The information he held on the Blood Claw Legion was outdated; after more than half a month of fierce battles, their military strength had certainly changed, not diminished but significantly increased, which could be seen from the scale of their camp.

The stern-faced Hobgoblin Warlord who was not prone to laughter now revealed a slight smile as he said, "Thanks to the reinforcements arranged by our Lord, we’ve greatly improved our scouting and defense capabilities, drastically reducing the casualties among our soldiers.

The number of Hobgoblin Wolf Cavalry has surpassed one thousand, the number of Elite Infantry has reached two thousand five hundred, there are over five thousand Goblin Menial Soldiers, and, in addition to these, we now have one hundred Hobgoblin Giants."

In the past, as enemies, they detested the Gnolls’ ability to create all sorts of traps.

Now as allies and subordinates, they were remarkably beneficial, greatly supplementing the Blood Claw Legion’s weakness in defense.

And the Erde Scout Team filled the gap in aerial scouting abilities.

With the drastic reduction in the Blood Claw Legion’s casualty rate and mass conscription of prisoners taken, their overall military strength naturally skyrocketed.

"Hobgoblin Giants?" Gaven heard this term for the first time. "Are you talking about Hobgoblin Half-Giants? What Giant bloodlines have they mixed with?"

Half-Giants are not limited to just Humans.

Hobgoblins, Elves, Dwarves, and so on could all produce Half-Giant offspring. It was a matter of how often.

After all, Giants ruled over Felen for no less time than Giants Dragons and Elves, leaving behind a significant number of half-breeds.

How they overcame the considerable disparity in size originally, of course, can be credited to magic.

The Spells of Enlarge and Shrinking are first-level spells, which any Spellcaster could cast, and in some races they even come as innate Spell-Like Abilities.

"Not Hobgoblin Half-Giants, but pure Hobgoblin Giants, pureblooded Hobgoblins that became enormous in size," expressed the Hobgoblin Warlord confidently, "I’ve mentioned before to our Lord that this place is shrouded by peculiar Laws; some beings here grow far beyond the normal size, and these Hobgoblin Giants are among such beings."
