Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 284: Frost Giant King (To be revised)
In the distance, the wind was howling, and the biting cold wind wrapped in frost and snow the size of salt grains blew in the face. The howling wind passed through the mountains and caves, making a sound like the roar of a ghost.

A musk ox was walking slowly in the half-dead forest covered with ice and snow, occasionally digging out some grass roots and turf from under the snow that had begun to accumulate thickly, and chewing them to eat.

This is a not uncommon cold-region creature, with thick, long brown fur that allows it to resist the cold better than the yaks in the mountains.

Their huge size is also the reason why these creatures can live freely in the wilderness. Even some smaller winter wolves, which only exist in packs of three or five, dare not prey on such a big creature with a huge body and mighty and thick horns.

Only the giant dragons that roam the sky can treat this big guy as defenseless prey and delicacy. Or the frost giants who hunt in groups. These frost giants are individually strong and can wrestle with dragons. They also know how to cooperate with each other and tame other wild beasts or fierce species as hunting claws.

Whether the musk ox encounters a dragon or a frost giant, no matter how vigilant it is, it will be useless. This has also made these creatures develop the habit of leaving their life and death to fate, and it is none of their business as long as they don't die.

In comparison, some other musk deer peeking out of the woods appeared to be much more cautious.

These cold-region musk deer live in groups of three or five, with white frost on their antlers, making them look like they are carved from ice and snow. No matter which deer lowers its head to look for food, there will always be another deer raising its head, looking around with a vigilant and alert look, and noticing the wind blowing or the grass moving.

The whistling of the cold wind was mixed with a peculiar sound, but the deer looked into the distant horizon and saw nothing happening in the camp where the predators were stationed, as densely packed as a tide.

But the snow on the dead trees in the woods was shaking, and much of it was sliding down from the branches, and shadows appeared above the heads of these creatures, who could look around but could not see.

Several huge monsters poked their claws out from the thick clouds, and the thick bony horns on their heads were as white as snow.

The sudden strong wind and deadly smell of danger made the beasts subconsciously start running around in panic, but the wings of the huge creature were like a dark cloud, instantly pinning the deer to the ground.

They were huge white-scaled dragons with pale scales and slender, streamlined bodies. Each white dragon was over fifteen meters in size.

These white dragons ate raw meat and drank blood, without any regard for the delicious food in the stomachs of these creatures. Their ferocious fangs tore open the throats of the beasts, and after drinking the blood, they froze the beasts into ice cubes and then chewed them into pieces.

The remaining blood mixed with ice seemed particularly savage in the mouths of these ferocious white dragons.

The fat and kind-hearted musk ox was also pinned down by a pale, scaly dragon that was much larger than the white dragons, and became food in the mouth of the huge white dragon.

The White Dragon is the smallest and weakest among the five-colored dragons. Even after it reaches adulthood, it is difficult for it to reach the normal size of the other five-colored dragons.

But this extremely ferocious adult white dragon is 21 meters long. The pale dragon scales on its body are covered with dry and cracked lines. There are white dragon feathers like long fluff growing between its chest and abdomen, and even its tail has white tail feathers, which looks particularly unique.

The broken dragon horn on the ferocious head not only does not damage its beauty, but instead adds some fierce momentum.

It is the "Ice Prison" Sakless who wanted to rule all the white dragon tribes in the former Arctic ice field and dominate the frost ice field. He has been fighting against the Frost Giant King who now rules the entire frost ice field for decades.

The huge cow bones were like fragile snacks under the fangs of the ferocious white dragon and were chewed up by Sackless.

But Sakless is different from other white dragons. Other white dragons would chew up these hard cow bones and swallow them all into their stomachs. The dragon's stomach can easily digest these hard bones and provide the dragon with some nutrients for bone growth.

After biting the cow bones into pieces, Sakless squinted his eyes and carefully sucked the fishy and sweet marrow inside. Then he threw the bones aside and began to eat the musk ox that he had not frozen into an ice cube.

After the other white dragons finished eating, they could only watch their leader eat slowly. Even the discarded beef bones were considered a snack in the eyes of these white dragons, but they did not dare to get close to this white dragon.

In cold regions, even for flying overlords like dragons, finding food is not an easy task. They often need to fly a long distance before they can encounter their prey.

But even in this situation, Sakeles' style remains the same, which shows what kind of life this white dragon lived in his tribe in the past.

In addition to these white dragons, there are also many cold-land creatures in this area.

On the hillside far to the north, there were many figures with white fur, making howling sounds like mournful cries, hunting the wild beasts in the mountains.

These creatures have long, thick white hair and look like giant apes, but they have a pair of thick horns on their heads that curve backwards, like those of an argali, and four straight, long fangs that are always exposed.

This is also the race that was conquered and enslaved by the Frost Giant King - the Northern Snowmen.

There are also some cold-land ogres that have mutated and evolved in the cold regions of the north and developed thick hair, making them look particularly terrifying. They also roam the mountains and fields in this area, hunting for food.

On the plains, there are also many Winter Wolf Cavalry riding on winter wolves, driving hunts on the land. Most of them are followers and slave warriors enslaved by the Frost Giants.

These frost giant slaves must rely on hunting to ensure their daily living needs.

The frost giants not only do not need to distribute the stored food supplies they carry to the slaves, but the slaves also need to frequently supply the frost giants with the food they hunted hard in order to please these savage giants.

Even the most powerful white dragon tribe under these frost giants was the same. The flesh and blood of those white dragons who tried to resist had already merged with the frost giants, and their hard bones had become bone hammers and clubs in the hands of the frost giants.

Even "Ice Prison" Sakeles is already the second most powerful person in the Frost Giant Tribe, second only to the Frost Giant King, whose name even Sakeles does not know.

But in fact, the area here is at the junction of the Frost Plains and the Prairie.

Yin and Yang divide the day and night, and the magic of the world is clearly revealed on the dividing line between white snow and green grass.

There are few living creatures in the wasteland invaded by ice and snow, but in the grassland covered with green grass, the number of living creatures has increased several times compared to this dry and cold area.

From the perspective of these white dragons flying in the sky, they can even see countless herds of wild beasts roaming on the distant grasslands and countless fat buffaloes and sheep running around, but those beasts can only be hunted by the frost giants, not these enslaved tribes.

It was not so difficult at first. The Frost Giant Tribe integrated the power of the Arctic Frost Plain and tried to move south, occupying the grassland and soil along the way. No monster tribe could resist the attack of these Frost Giants.

At that time, the tribes could hunt freely on the grasslands and enjoy an unprecedented abundant life. Even the white dragons could play with the prey to their heart's content before filling their stomachs. Until the vanguard of the frost giants encountered the patrol corps of the Golden Empire and Crimson Roar Caedilos.

Not only were the rest of the tribal warriors killed by the Golden Empire's legions, but even the frost giant warriors who commanded the vanguard legions were all captured and enslaved.

According to some brave merchants who dared to travel thousands of miles to the Frost Wasteland, the frost giants captured by the Golden Empire are still serving as slaves, building cities for the empire that are like wonders to mortals.

The comparison between the two is like heaven and earth.

Not only that, the usually ferocious Frost Giant King decisively withdrew his troops after this test, which not only puzzled the outside world, but even the many tribes ruled by the Frost Giants could not understand it.

You know, after uniting all the Frost Giant tribes and defeating the 'Ice Prison' Sakless, who was also the overlord of the Frost Plains, and unifying the Far North Wasteland, the Frost Giant King has successfully leaped from a mortal creature to a legendary being, becoming a powerful being with legendary power.

How could a small failure defeat the will of such a powerful being?

"You don't understand, and I don't understand either," after "Ice Prison" Sakless had his fill, he licked his claws, squinted his icy vertical pupils, and looked into the distance.

On the endless horizon, there was a dense and large-scale camp made of animal skins, which filled the dragon's field of vision. Countless northern tribal warriors roamed among them.

The tribes of snowmen, ogres, orcs, frost giants and others have gathered the power of the entire frost field. An army of 80,000 strong is lined up here, neither advancing nor retreating.

It is this kind of style that is difficult for ordinary people to understand that makes the white dragons Sloka and Roni, who once defected from the Frost Plains Dragon Group, follow and oppress them all the way with the legion soldiers of the Golden Empire.

In the end, they only relied on three thousand imperial legion soldiers and thousands of auxiliary troops to openly build a tall outpost line on the hilly stream dozens of miles away from the Frost Giant camp, confronting the Frost Giants from a distance.

"This bastard Sloka was just a coward who defected from the dragon group in the past. He is a despicable blood. Now he dares to appear in front of us openly and show off his power. I really want to tear him to pieces."

A ferocious white dragon with a deep scar on its cheek bared its sharp teeth and spoke through gritted teeth.

"With the leader's strength, he can easily crush that bastard. How can the Frost Giant King tolerate being despised by such a weak bastard?"

Another young white dragon also spoke up. Each of these white dragons had their own reasons and positions to despise the White Dragon Sloka. Fleeing out of fear of war was a shame for dragons. Moreover, the White Dragon Sloka was so majestic that these slave dragons, who were like prisoners, felt indignant.

"Who knows what the Frost Giant King is thinking?" Sakeles said lightly. When he mentioned the Frost Giant King, a complex look bloomed in the white dragon's icy pupils.

No one knows the name of the Frost Giant King, not even the White Dragon, his long-time enemy.

Sakless only knew that before the Frost Giant King rose to power, he was mocked and despised by many Frost Giant tribes and was called the bastards and leftovers of the White Frost Tribe.

Life in the frost wasteland of the Far North is extremely cruel. Even among the frost giants who belong to the same ethnic group, different tribes have to fight each other for survival resources.

In areas with abundant life and rich species, a tiger needs at least ten square kilometers of hunting territory for survival.

In areas where species are relatively scarce and life is sparse, a tiger will need a hunting territory of at least one hundred square kilometers to maintain its survival needs.

Even so, these beasts still need to collect berries, prey on insects, etc. on a daily basis to replenish their own consumption as much as possible.

This is true for ordinary wild beasts, let alone frost giants who are many times stronger than tigers and consume many times more energy.

These frost giant tribes lived in groups of a few or a dozen people each, and they often attacked each other's tribes to gain larger hunting territories.

Under such harsh conditions, the best fate for adult frost giants in defeated tribes is often to become slaves. Then, because they are often used as tools in hunting and fighting and do not get enough food, some of them will eventually die of starvation.

The worst outcome is that all adult Frost Giants will be killed, and only underage Frost Giants, especially female Frost Giants, will be left behind to be used as tools for the reproduction of the Frost Giant tribe.

The White Frost Tribe, where the Frost Giant King came from, was destroyed by other Frost Giant tribes. All members of the tribe were slaughtered, and he was the only one who successfully escaped death.

No one knows how the Frost Giant King survived alone in this barren and dangerous frost field from a young age. Perhaps he dug the ice soil that was as hard as iron and lived on the tree bark, grass roots and ice worms.

Perhaps he made a living by picking up the dead remains of other creatures, but the Frost Giant King survived after all.

When the Frost Giant King first came to prominence, he had single-handedly defeated the leader of the Ice Wind Tribe who had massacred the White Frost Tribe.

However, unlike other Frost Giants, the Frost Giant King did not kill the leader of the Icewind Tribe, and as a result, he quickly gained the surrender and allegiance of the Icewind Tribe.

Thus, the Frost Giant King began to rise step by step from then on.

He led the Icewind Tribe to conquer everywhere, integrating all the Frost Giant tribes step by step, and finally fought against the White Dragon Tribe. In the end, he defeated the gifted white dragon 'Ice Prison' Sakless and successfully ascended the throne of the icefield.

Although the Frost Giants have been enemies of the White Dragons for generations, after defeating the Ice Prison Sakless, he did not enslave all of the dragons. Instead, he treated the white dragons as another tribe loyal to the Frost Giants.

However, other Frost Giants did not have the same idea as the Frost Giant King. Instead, they treated the rest of the tribes as slaves. Even the Frost Giant King could not change the thinking of this race.

"Perhaps these powerful people who can successfully reach the top always make others unable to guess what they are thinking, because they can see farther than others."

Sakless whispered as he looked at the huge flag of the Dragon King standing tall in the distance. He also couldn't understand why the red dragon could achieve such success.
