Chapter 1060
"Do you want to fight? Do you want to fight?" Saramanda was immediately excited, her chest held high, and her breathing became faster.
Unlike the nervousness and unease of human girls, the troll clan is a naturally combative race, and Saramanda couldn't wait to start a big fight.
When it comes to war, even the dragon clan, located at the top of the pyramid in this world, is inferior to the troll clan, which inherited the bloodline from the giants.
The ancient giants loved to fight against the sky, the earth, and even the air. They were always fighting and causing chaos.
In Sia's world, there were several separate continents that were created by the drifting of giant-sized land plates. Eventually, the dragon clan couldn't stand it anymore and decided to defeat the giants.
The bodies of the deceased giants turned into mountains, and their blood became rivers. They returned to dust and the earth, bringing peace back to the world.
The troll clan, descendants of the giants, inherited some of the giants' immortality. They were the most formidable opponents during the divine era war.
"Let's go! Let the war begin!" Excited Saramanda pointed her fingers at two powerful teams of human girls Princess Roland's team, known as the strongest, and Lamia's team, the only ones who could match the trolls in close combat.
Human knights possessed the most balanced attributes among all races. They were skilled with various weapons, and when they fought together, their strength surpassed the sum of individual strengths.
The Lamia clan possessed a power equal to that of the troll clan. They were agile and had impressive magical abilities. They were the only close combat forces in the Leviathan faction who could compete with the troll clan.
However, the trolls had an unfair advantage - they couldn't die, even if their heads were cut off or their hearts pierced. Their position as the best ground soldiers couldn't be challenged by any other race.
In a one-on-one martial arts competition, Lamia might have a slight advantage over the trolls due to their perfect skills and talents. But when it came to life and death battles on the battlefield, no race wanted to fight against the troll clan.
The trolls in the troll clan have a special gift that makes them nearly invincible. They are strong and resistant to both physical attacks and magic. Some people even say they cheat.
Whenever a troll needs to be killed, it often costs the humans a whole army. The humans have to outsmart the trolls and attack them in large numbers to have a chance of winning.
When the trolls gather together and charge at the humans, it becomes an impossible situation for the humans to find a tactical solution.
In the war between the human army and the Leviathan faction during the divine era, the ratio of casualties was never less than thirty to one. The humans lost nine out of ten battles, and the ones they won were usually very close.
The reason the humans ended up with control of the continent is mainly because they are able to reproduce at a faster rate. Even with a casualty ratio of thirty to one or even one hundred to one, the humans were able to outlast the Leviathan faction.
The troll clan didn't lose on the battlefield, they lost because they were outnumbered. The humans sacrificed countless lives to defeat the Leviathan's strongest soldiers, forcing the trolls to retreat without fighting.
The recent battle between the human elite knight Morris and Saramanda was like a replay of the divine era war.
The hero-ranked humans fought bravely and gained a strategic advantage, even dealing a deadly blow to their opponent. But the trolls could still fight back strongly even after losing their weapons. Morris is currently receiving treatment in a hospital.
"Hmm..." Lamia's priestess, Harlow, frowned and drew her own special weapon, a pair of curved swords.
Other Lamia also pulled out their own special weapons, most of them were curved swords, but there were also very long spike swords, and even human sword and shield combinations.
All Lamia are weapon masters, naturally skilled in using various nimble weapons, which sharply contrasts with the troll clan, who specialize in heavy weapons.
That six-meter long snake tail, just like the trolls' immunity to death, is the pride of the Lamia and a special weapon that few trolls fear.
In the historical battles within the Leviathan faction, Lamia often completely immobilize trolls in one-on-one combat, achieving victory and becoming the only special unit among melee combatants able to gain an advantage over trolls.
If it weren't for the fact that the Lamia clan prefers to operate in swamps and humid tropical rainforests and doesn't particularly like plains and mountainous regions, the human's nightmare on the battlefield would have to be increased.
The troll clan doesn't care about this, having the innate ability of immunity to all attributes and the talent to survive even with their heads severed, they can endure any harsh environment, truly a versatile land combat unit.
"I've always heard the elders say that Lamia are very powerful, I really want to try it out," Saramanda eagerly said. The knight's selection, after all, was about displaying strength, and that was her specialty.
As long as they're trolls, they are natural elite land combat units, it's not an exaggeration to say they are the strongest creatures on land. As descendants of giants, they have inherited the tradition of challenging the sky, the earth, and the air, and they won't back down from a fight.
Except for the leader of the Leviathan faction, the dragon race, the troll clan pays no attention to anyone else. It is pure delusion for any other race to think they can command the troll clan.
The trolls on the battlefield are like perpetual motion machines. They won't stop until there is a river of blood and one side completely collapses.
The trolls on the battlefield, surrounded by the human army, are a unique army that can continue fighting without any logistical support. When they are hungry, they eat meat, when they are thirsty, they drink blood. They have no preference for raw food. That's why they have the reputation of being man-eating monsters.
Actually, it's a misunderstanding. If you replace the troll army with a human army surrounded by a force ten or a hundred times stronger, with no logistical support, isolated and without any chance of surrender, they would likely resort to cannibalism out of desperation.
The trolls just act more instinctively and openly, besides, the concept of "surrender" doesn't exist in the troll's mind.
Killing enemies is just a natural thing to do.
Being killed by enemies and returning to the earth is like returning to the embrace of their giant ancestors. What is there to fear?
For the trolls, as Earth Children, the ground beneath their feet is their mother and the ultimate home for all trolls.
Dying in battle is an honor for the trolls, much better than dying of old age in their tribe.
In reality, trolls don't die of old age. When they sense that they are close to death, their choices are either to challenge unbeatable monsters and let themselves be eaten, or to simply jump into the volcano.
Being torn apart by enemies on the battlefield and having all their flesh set alight before dying - this is one of the most anticipated ways for trolls to meet their end.
