Nordic: I Created a Forbidden Land for the Gods

At first, the pirates' raids were not exactly successful.

Although the sudden burst of momentum and the completely different strategic attack from before left Neil somewhat stunned.

Even the seasoned veteran Slud frowned deeply at this reckless and illogical action.

But they all reacted quickly.

Long before the first hybrid giant died, the two of them, one human and one god, took advantage of that brief moment to quickly devise several new tactics.

In order to maximize the power of the "Sharp" arrow tower.

The second hybrid giant was tricked by the sugar-coated one.

Another tactic is to adjust the order in which the arrows are fired.

The original order was "Sharp," "Lightning," and "Armor," paired according to range.

That tactic was very effective, but it couldn't deal much damage due to the limited rune level.

The fact that the First Hybrid Giant could withstand the onslaught and break into the forest proves this point.

After the "Sharpness" rune was upgraded, Neil modified the recipe, placing "Lightning" and "Armor" first, and "Sharpness" last.

In this way, although the advantage in range is sacrificed, the first two runes have a blocking effect, allowing the target to pause their actions to the greatest extent possible.

It makes it easier to aim "sharp" arrows.

In addition, there is the combination of "Iron Armor" arrows and rune fishing nets.

Use arrows to send the fishing net to the front line, communicate with the attached runes to blast open the net and catch the target, and then use the heavy "armored" arrows to aim at the surrounding triangle and fix it!

In this way, it is easier to aim "sharp" arrows and maximize the damage.

*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!*

Just as expected, the pirates' frantic charge was thwarted one by one.

After being paralyzed, struck hard, and trapped, it was pierced through with bloody holes, groaning and screaming in agony.

Even before it became incredibly valuable through the hands of that golden, glittering hero, the level two "Sharpness" rune was extremely precious to the evil dragon.

Very few weapons in the entire pirate crew had their names written on them.

Even though they also wielded longswords of the same caliber, which could barely hold them off, the sheer number of arrows caused serious injuries to the pirates running at the front.

One of them even fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

However, this only applies to the very first few runners.

The other pirates arrived late but quickly made up for this disadvantage!

Neil placed six arrow towers on the west side of the forest, but only two of them could cause any real damage.

Although one is located in the settlement, another "Sharp" arrow tower, which Neil built on the east side of the forest as a precaution, was also upgraded at the same time, so that it could support the west side with its range advantage.

However, if the range is extended too much, the potential energy will decrease, and the damage it can cause will also be reduced.

Even with those two added, Neil's "Sharp" Arrow Towers only number four.

They are no match for the more than twenty and a half giants on the other side!

Noisy!Noisy!Noisy!

boom! boom! boom!

call out!call out!call out!

*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!*

boom!!!

Even with Neil's best efforts and the overloaded operation of multiple arrow towers, he could not stop the massive pirates from charging.

They possess the ability to "go berserk" in their blood, and as pirates who have spent years in the midst of battle, even being pierced by one or two bloody holes is hardly enough to stop their advance.

In less than a few minutes, they crossed the wasteland and entered the forest.

The arrow tower on the west side was destroyed.

All six seats are gone!

"Recycle!"

"Recycle!"

"Recycle!"

"put up!"

"put up!"

"put up!"

By constantly retrieving the corpses from the Sludra net, Neil continuously rebuilds the defensive fortifications.

The main defenses are pits and arrow towers, but without the support of "Sharpness," Neil can only use level one runes to deal with them.

And because mortals have limitations, even if he were to rebuild himself, he could not go to the front lines where the pirates were located; he could only deploy troops in the area between his residence and the front lines.

This slowed down the enemy's actions to some extent, but it could not change the fact that the advance was ongoing and the battle lines were indeed being shortened.

Neil broke out in a cold sweat.

Even Slud was in the same boat, her palms poised and ready to unleash runes to "self-destruct" at any moment.

However, just when the battle lines were pushed to a very dangerous level...

The pirates, who had been advancing with great momentum, suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Even retreat!

Neil and Slud were stunned and didn't react for a moment.

The pirates retreated with incredible speed, as if they feared that if they were even a step too slow, they would encounter something extremely dangerous.

They were merely bait; once the mission was complete and the real terror arrived, they would naturally need to evacuate.

As they retreated a short distance and turned around, they were horrified to see the "white demons" approaching from behind.

"The captain is really willing to spend a lot of money."

"They've even resorted to using 'fierce rabbits' to hunt down the gods!"

These were tiny rabbits, only a meter or so in size, with pure white eyes that looked completely harmless, yet they sent chills down the spines of these ruthless pirates.

Almost instinctively, they quickly adjusted their direction of retreat, not daring to intersect with their path of travel.

Most of the pirates quickly retreated to the sides, creating distance.

But some cannot escape it, such as a powerful pirate who reached level 10 and was on the verge of entering the realm.

His immense strength led to him being targeted excessively in the forest, resulting in multiple bloody wounds on his lower limbs, severely hindering his movement.

Even so, he was invincible in the recent charge, and he forcibly destroyed two level-two rune arrow towers.

But even someone as brave as him felt like he was facing a formidable enemy when he saw the "White Devil".

Knowing that there was no way to dodge, he immediately raised his shield, and the silver light on his longsword flashed, slashing the nearest white rabbit with his sword energy.

The moment the blade energy made contact with the small animal, a deafening sound erupted and echoed through the sky!

Rumble!!!

A violent heatwave swept out, and a mushroom cloud several meters wide and high rose from the ground.

Even if the shield has been raised in advance and has runes inscribed on it indicating defensive capabilities.

But under that terrifying impact, it was also utterly destroyed, easily collapsing and shattering like tofu.

Even with the rune shield providing cushioning, and even though the pirate had already activated his bloodline power, "Berserk" to enhance his skin's strength.

Half of its body still collapsed with a crash, while the other half was burned to a crisp and scattered all over the ground!

Seeing this scene, the other pirates looked grim and became even more wary, not daring to linger for a moment, and retreated at full speed.

As members of the evil dragons, they had witnessed the power of the "fierce rabbit" far too many times.

Even on the battlefields of renowned giants and gods, this is a monster capable of unleashing terrifying power.

If it weren't for a stroke of luck, given the size of their pirate crew, it would have been impossible for them to capture them!

"Besides the bloody runes, this evil dragon is even keeping ferocious rabbits as pets?!"

In the forest, Slud, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, changed her expression again, her pretty face turning ugly, clearly not expecting this.

As a Valkyrie, she had experienced countless battles and naturally knew what all of this was.

But then she suddenly remembered something, and a look of joy appeared in her bright eyes.

"By the way, the 'Fierce Rabbit' bloodline contains runes with considerable power; perhaps they can fill the gap in 'Sharpness'!"

It was like someone offering a pillow when you're feeling sleepy, that's how Neil was addressed.
