Chapter 126 Powerful Tactics
The mist separated into a cluster, and Brian instructed Greas and Holmes to remain at high altitude for continued reconnaissance while he slowly descended towards a specific location.
Brian's descent was directed towards the stronghold of the Wolfheart Clan, nestled among a series of undulating snow mounds, not too far from the Frost Giant tribe.
From a distance, he sensed the presence of the Winter Wolves. His sensitivity to creatures transformed by his dragon blood was highly accurate, allowing him to detect them from afar.
The Winter Wolves stationed there also sensed Brian's arrival, raising their heads to gaze at the silver dragon whose Dragon Wings obscured the moonlight.
The Winter Wolves lowered their heads in respect to Brian.
Upon discovering that the White Dragon Mother had been captured, the Winter Wolves of the Wolfheart Clan knew that a battle was imminent. At this moment, apart from the adult Winter Wolves who had gone to notify Brian's Scott, most of them had gathered here. Scattered around were numerous wild wolves and magical wolves, all summoned by the Winter Wolves.
"Master, should we launch the attack now?"
Wolves are inherently bloodthirsty and fierce. Although Winter Wolves possess intelligence, they are no exception. Some Winter Wolves, with fierce glints in their eyes and fangs gleaming coldly, were eager to move.
"Wait until the Savage Frost Tigers and Savage Wolves arrive here. Your Wolfheart Clan will lead them in the initial attack."
After a pause, Brian emphasized, "However, do not make Salia the rescue target."
"Your target is the White Crystalmine vein. Directly attack the mine vein to divert the Frost Giants' attention."
The value of a Magical Gem Vein is clearly higher than that of a white dragon used for show. When the Winter Wolves lead the Savage Beasts to attack the mine vein, and some of the Frost Giants go to support it, Brian will then rescue the White Dragon Mother from the tribe's center.
His speed is very fast. As long as he can divert some of the Frost Giants' attention, Brian is confident he can rescue the White Dragon Mother.
Once she is rescued, without any worries, he can then have a proper fight with these Frost Giants.
"Do not engage in a death battle with the Frost Giants. Fight and retreat. Your task is only to attract their attention."
Brian instructed the Wolfheart Clan.
Frost Giants are powerful creatures, individually stronger than Winter Wolves, and they outnumber the Winter Wolves. If they engage in a death battle with the Frost Giants, even with the assistance of hundreds of wolf packs, they would suffer heavy casualties in a very short time, which is not what Brian wants to see.
"We will obey your command."
The Winter Wolves lowered their heads, their eyes gleaming with excitement and bloodlust.
The surrounding wolf packs simultaneously let out low growls and howls, echoing in this small area.
Brian flapped his Dragon Wings, and the massive silver dragon body soared into the sky with the wind and mist, disappearing into the air in an instant, blending with the night and concealing himself.
Before long, the Savage Frost Tigers and Savage Wolves, faster than other minions, arrived at the Winter Wolves' stronghold under Scott's lead.
In a cluster of dim clouds high above, a pair of platinum Dragon's Eyes loomed, gazing down at the world below.
The Winter Wolves crouched low, moving silently across the snow. The massive bodies of the Savage Frost Tigers and Savage Wolves did the same, treading lightly on the ground like white ghosts traversing the northern Ice Field.
These most dangerous hunters under the night sky were restraining their presence, slowly approaching the Frost Giant tribe under Brian's watchful eyes.
Inside the ten-zhang-high walls, the Frost Giants were still unaware of the impending danger, continuing to discuss the captured White Dragon Mother around her iron cage.
A robust Frost Giant, about seven meters tall, with a rough, proud expression on his face, was speaking to his kin in Giant Language: "The wounds on this white dragon's Dragon Wings were inflicted by me. If I hadn't injured its Dragon Wings, it would have escaped."
"Strictly speaking, it is my personal trophy."
"After you all have finished admiring it, I will take it away. I want to see if I can tame it."
"If I can't tame it in the end, I'll take its head and hang it up."
Since the White Dragon Mother was brought down by their combined efforts, the surrounding Frost Giants were displeased and began to argue with the robust Frost Giant about the ownership of the White Dragon Mother.
The deep, thunderous Giant Language echoed continuously, while the weakened White Dragon Mother curled up in a corner of the cage, a look of regret and fear gradually appearing in her eyes.
Meanwhile, the Winter Wolves, leading the wolf pack, approached the outer walls of the Frost Giant tribe.
Pairs of dark eyes blinked in the night.
Having previously scouted the Frost Giant tribe, the wolf pack quietly arrived at a blind spot in the Frost Giant guards' line of sight, inching closer to the White Crystalmine vein.
The White Crystalmine vein was located at the base of a small snowy mountain, with the Frost Giant tribe residing against the mountain. The lowest part of the tribe was surrounded by walls at least nine zhang high, and the White Crystalmine vein was also within the tribe, but positioned towards the rear southern side.
The wolf pack was now advancing towards the southern side of the wall.
Crossing the high wall from this side would allow them to head straight for the White Crystalmine vein immediately.
There would certainly be obstacles in the way, but compared to other areas, this was the weakest point in the Frost Giant tribe's defenses.
"Be careful."
The Winter Wolves sensed elemental fluctuations on the ground, slowing their pace and leading the wolf pack around areas that might be set with magical traps.
Slowly, they approached the high wall, their wolf paws landing without making a sound, moving silently.
Stewart closed his eyes slightly, sensing the area with a noticeably higher concentration of elemental energy, confirming that it was the White Crystalmine vein. He then opened his eyes again and let out a low growl.
Besides language, the Winter Wolves could also use growls to communicate with other wolf species.
After Stewart's low growl, the wolf pack immediately understood, crouching slightly, ready to spring.
The Savage Frost Tigers mixed in with the wolf pack hesitated slightly, then mimicked the wolves' actions.
In the next second, nine snow-white figures leaped into the moonlight, their limbs pushing off the wall, gaining height with each leap, quickly surpassing the height of the wall.
Whoosh!
As soon as they stabilized their bodies, the Winter Wolves turned their heads, opening their mouths filled with interlocking fangs.
Cold frost spewed from their muzzles, solidifying into nine ice bridges connecting the high wall to the ground.
Immediately, hundreds of wild wolves and magical wolves, whose jumping abilities couldn't match the Winter Wolves, began to cross the ice bridges.
At the same time, an adult Frost Giant nearby sensed the elemental disturbance and smelled an unusual scent, instinctively turning to look.
Boom!
After constructing the ice bridges, the nine Winter Wolves sprang towards the adult Frost Giant, their muzzles open, revealing sharp, interlocking wolf teeth.
