Ashen Dragon

"Slaughter these little creatures, avenge our clan!"

Seeing the Great Goblins loading their ammunition, Baya finally reacted, waving his Dragonbone Pickaxe, preparing to charge the line infantry's formation.

Seeing their leader being so brave, the Frost Giants quickly followed, swinging their weapons and charged fiercely.

However, the front-row Great Goblins fell back to the rear, and the rear Great Goblins advanced to the front, performing another volley.

This was the volley firing method designed by the Iron Madman for these Goblin Infantry Brigades. Due to the increased firing rate of the muskets, the three rows of soldiers could essentially maintain a continuous onslaught of firepower.

At the same time, several Chimeras swept across the sky, spitting lines of flames on the path of the Frost Giant charge, covering the infantry formation.

For a moment, the Frost Giants could not get close and were forced to endure the attack passively.

"Ready, fire!"

"Bang!"

With another deafening gunshot, several more Frost Giants fell.

Thanks to the Dragon Scale Armor, Baya was unharmed except for a few stray bullets in his arm.

The Frost Giants looked around—the most valiant warriors who charged with him had mostly fallen, and the remaining ones were cautious, no longer daring to advance.

"Damn it..."

Baya's eyes were bloodshot with rage, the veins on his burn-scarred forehead throbbing.

"How dare you oppose the great Frost Giant warriors! I will smear your blood on myself!"

It could only be said that he lived up to being a Frost Giant warrior who had once hunted dragons.

Baya roared, relying on his entire body's Dragon Scale Armor, holding a leather shield in one hand and a Dragonbone Pickaxe in the other, charging through the barrage and tearing the Goblin Army's formation apart.

The Dragonbone Pickaxe swung, easily piercing through the front-row Great Goblins' bodies, its white bone surface stained with blood.

This unparalleled Frost Giant warrior rampaged through the formation. In just a few breaths, the Goblin Infantry Brigade lost dozens of soldiers.

"Stupid giant! How dare you challenge the Ashen Kingdom!"

Derol shouted, riding a Land Dragon Beast and charging forward, catching the frenzied Frost Giant off guard and knocking him to the ground.

But Baya, an experienced Frost Giant warrior, rolled on the ground and found an opportunity to slip under the Land Dragon Beast, using his sharp Dragonbone Pickaxe to disembowel it.

"Tear!"

The thick skin of the Land Dragon split open, and rich fat and mixed internal organs spilled uncontrollably.

"Roar——"

The Land Dragon Beast let out a heavy wail and slowly toppled, causing the ground to tremble, and Derol fell to the ground as well.

"Chimera Lord, save me!"

Seeing the Frost Giant approaching, Derol hurriedly called for reinforcements.

The Chimera was the oldest existence in Dragon Valley and the entire kingdom. Although its retainers often called it a "beast," even the Goblin Chieftain Dolores had to show respect to it, let alone Derol.

Seeing that the one calling for help was Derol, who had flattered him many times, the Chimera finally swooped down from the sky, pouncing on the Frost Giant's back, grabbing hold with its claws, and the dragon head spewed out flames.

"Boom!"

The fierce flames scorched the Frost Giant's already severely burned back, making it even more scorched.

At this moment, Baya no longer looked like a Frost Giant but more like an obsidian subspecies of a Stone Giant.

However, the Chimera did not expect such a reaction from its reckless attack.

"Ah——"

Baya screamed in pain but maintained a heightened battle sense. He grabbed the Chimera's forelimb with one hand, yanking it off his back.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled again.

The huge body of the Chimera was thrown to the ground, rolling several times before struggling to get up.

"Come!"

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

However, the Frost Giant gave it no chance to breathe, he leaped and pounced on the Chimera, using his powerful arms to lock its lion head's neck.

"Roar——"

But the Chimera had more than one head. Its dragon head fiercely bit the giant's arm, spewing hot flames again, but the Frost Giant held on tightly.

The ground was dusty and constantly shaking. The giant and the triple-headed Chimera, equally gigantic, wrestled and fought each other.

The other two female Chimeras wanted to help but, without the Dragon Blood's blessing, they couldn't compete in this battle due to their size and strength.

As for Baya, in terms of strength and combat skills, he held absolute dominance, progressively pushing the Chimera into a corner. The Chimera's only effective counter was its flame.

Baya took advantage of the Chimera's exhaustion, grabbed its dragon head from behind, tightly wrapping his arm around it, intending to strangle it and break its neck, just like his brother "Bone Breaker."

"Ha ha, I've got you!"

The Chimera struggled desperately against the Frost Giant's strangle, scratching with its claws, ramming with its goat head, and biting with its lion head, to no avail.

"Steady your aim..."

Fortunately, their actions were at a stalemate, giving Derol a chance to find his target. Holding his breath, he aimed his spear at the Frost Giant's body and pulled the trigger—

"Bang!"

The bullet drilled into the Frost Giant's body, causing him to howl in pain and slightly loosen his grip, allowing the tightly locked Chimera to break free.

"Howl——"

The Chimera breathed heavily, flapping its wings and quickly soaring into the sky, not wanting to engage in a death match with this fearless Frost Giant any longer.

The Frost Giant slowly got up from the ground, provocatively watching the fleeing Chimera, hammered his chest, and let out a battle cry.

"Coward! Continue to fight with me!"

He walked back to the Frost Giant's formation from the front lines, and no one dared to provoke this mad Frost Giant warrior during this time.

At this moment, however, a horn sounded from afar.

"Wooo——"

The sound was like a howling cold wind but much heavier.

Baya instantly recognized the familiar sound, the military signal of the Everfrost Tribe. It was the Clan Leader Kasa Everfrost summoning all units to return.

He looked at the fortress as solid as a rock, at the courageous fallen Frost Giant warriors all around, his face darkened.

"Damn, lost so many warriors for nothing here."

Teman stepped forward to dissuade him. "Captain, Clan Leader Kasa said, when the horn sounds, we must gather immediately. Besides..."

His tone paused.

"Our clansmen have shed too much blood outside this barren valley with little gain."

Baya's face changed dramatically. He squinted at Teman, finally sighed, and said, "Retreat, let's go find Kasa."
