Nordic: I Created a Forbidden Land for the Gods

"Everyone, even the Aesir are not invincible. With the advance team's efforts throughout the night, their injuries must be quite severe. This is the perfect opportunity for us to strike."

"Although they are gone, they died in the line of duty. Through their lives, they further weakened the enemy and increased our chances of victory."

"If this hunt is successful, then the Ice River Kingdom will definitely value us very much, and may even personally meet the king of that pure-blooded giant and be awarded a great reward!"

"We've succeeded once before, so let's do it again, and it'll be even simpler than before!"

On the western coast of Winterfell, Killian, dressed in luxurious attire and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, spoke with great gusto. As he finished speaking, he drew a long sword from his waist, causing the younger men below to raise their arms and cheer with extraordinary excitement.

Seeing their expressions, Killian smiled under his captain's hat, then glanced sideways at Fanny beside him.

Although it was this first mate who devised all the strategies and personally handled every detail, it was this that gave them the absolute advantage they now had.

Even the speeches were provided by the first mate.

But at this moment, the other party seemed like a real dwarf, standing respectfully to the side, giving all the credit and glory to the captain.

These actions pleased Killian, who looked at the other man with admiration in his eyes.

However, a decision made long ago cannot be reversed.

Withdrawing his gaze, Killian turned to look at the forest on the east side of the island, his eyes revealing a cold greed and absolute confidence.

Just as he said, the position had already been exposed during a previous all-out attack, and it could have been completely captured at that time.

It's a pity that a small setback or mistake led to failure, but that's nothing serious.

Now he can make up for that small mistake.

Get your ticket to the road to prosperity!

"Men, charge!"

……

……

Ten minutes later, his originally confident expression gradually twisted and became very gloomy.

After entering the forest, he realized that he had advanced the wrong distance. Although the western side of the forest was originally very dense, it should have been completely barren after the first full-scale assault and thunderstorm bombing.

But the land that should have been barren has been covered with tall green trees again.

And he only realized it now!

"Something doesn't seem right..."

"I must have cut down many large trees, so why are there still some here?"

"It won't grow back that quickly, will it?"

Besides him, the other twenty-odd pirates also gradually reacted, their originally smiling expressions turning hesitant and stiff.

Their level of understanding was lower, so they were a step behind.

Although they were chosen by the captain to stay behind as the main force of the attack, these were the best of the group, all possessing combat power at the half-step realm level, and among them were several powerful heroic spirits.

Even so, they were misled and failed to notice the problem immediately!

How is that possible!

But after all, they were people who had lived by the sword. After a brief hesitation, they took a deep breath, tensed their nerves, picked up their weapons, and prepared to wreak havoc on the surroundings once again.

They used this formation to launch a surprise attack and push the enemy's front line forward by more than half.

It's still possible!

Pfft!

The sound of flesh being pierced suddenly rang out, and the pirates turned their heads sharply, only to find that one of their companions had been shot in the head and was lying on the ground.

Even though they were prepared, they were still successfully attacked unexpectedly.

Their expressions changed, and before they could react, a large number of arrows shot out from the gaps in the trees, approaching in an instant.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

*Pfft! Bang! Pfft!*

The pirates had no idea why the sound of arrows piercing the air was almost nonexistent, making it difficult for them to detect them in advance, and they were constantly wounded by the arrows.

Even with shields in hand and all preparations made, it was difficult to block or dodge, causing injuries to worsen and resulting in casualties.

"Remember the firing direction! If it's the same as what we saw when we broke in, then the ones attacking us are arrow towers, and they can't possibly move away!"

"As long as you remember the location, you can get out of the way even if you can't hear anything!"

A clever person shouted like that.

The other pirates suddenly realized.

Some even stubbornly stood still, determined to take the damage head-on, using the arrows embedded in their bodies to track their memories.

They banded together, forming a circular formation to minimize damage, and gradually figured out the pattern.

Prepare for a counterattack!

But then a large volley of arrows came hurtling towards them.

Unlike before, when the concealment effect seemed to be off, this time the sound of something cutting through the air was very clear, allowing the pirates to detect it in advance and react accordingly.

They all turned their heads and saw the sharp edges burning with black flames, and either dodged or defended.

The former was alright, but the latter was enraged and was completely covered at an extremely fast speed, with extremely shrill screams constantly emanating from it.

"Dragon Fire!"

The pirates' expressions changed instantly. They were on high alert and dared not confront the enemy head-on, constantly dodging. However, their hasty shifting of positions caused the memories etched into their minds to become chaotic.

The entire forest was like a maze. As the concealment was restored and further interference occurred, they were once again reduced to being like headless flies.

I suffered a lot of damage for nothing, and achieved nothing.

As the mournful screams echoed, the faces of the evil dragon pirates turned grim, and their confident expressions vanished instantly.

escape!

Some couldn't withstand the pressure, turned around and sped away, wanting to leave immediately.

But the forest's mesmerizing effect left him completely unaware of which way he was hurtling towards.

At these times, several arrows burning with black fire would shoot out from all around, causing it to dodge in a panic and "accidentally" run in the designated direction.

Then, he stepped into thin air.

Severely injured, collapsed, disappeared; severely injured, collapsed, disappeared...

Twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen...

Originally, more than twenty mixed-blood giant pirates broke in, each of them exceptionally powerful, some even being heroic spirits, making them all hesitant to approach.

They destroyed many countries, and even the Aesir gods took them very seriously and issued warrants for their arrest, sending troops to deal with them many times, but to no avail.

But as time went on, this group was dwindling at a visible rate.

As they watched their companions fall one by one, until only a handful remained standing, even the most arrogant pirates couldn't help but show fear in their expressions.

Destruction by absolute force is certainly despairing.

Cutting flesh with a dull knife like that is equally chilling.

But among these pirates, only one man remained resolute.

It was Kylian.

As he watched his crew members fall one by one, wounded, his expression was initially very gloomy, but he quickly relaxed his brows as if relieved, coldly watching everything unfold.

"Kill them, kill them. It's a pity they all die, but since we're planning to join the Ice River Kingdom, keeping these useless people around will still contribute to our success, so there's no need to keep them any longer."

"It's good that I was killed by the Valkyrie, it saves me the trouble of spending time and effort."

"As long as the corpse is still there, I can perform the sacrifice. The power I gain will be enough to kill it in one fell swoop!"
