Chapter 59: Arriving at the Giant's Territory
The city of Stellik, the founding capital of the Kingdom of Erathia, was once captured by the unholy alliance of Dega, Nigon, and Ofer facilitated by Sandru, and was later recovered by Queen Caitlin for the return of Erathia and the reconquest war.
——Excerpt from "Essays of Ling Zikai"
Speaking of Archibald, veteran players of the Heroes of Might and Magic series surely know that he is one of the two protagonists of Heroes of Might and Magic 2. However, it is the protagonist who is officially defined as the evil side.
The old king of Mogrin Iron Fist on the continent of Enros has died, and the heirs to the throne are his two sons, Archibald Iron Fist and Roland Iron Fist.
According to the official records of the Iron Fist Dynasty, Archibald killed all the prophets judged by the heirs of the Iron Fist Dynasty in various accidents, such as shipwrecks, falling towers, food poisoning, and burning to death by the dragon's breath from the sky. And the blame was blamed on Roland, who had to flee overnight and leave the royal city......
Lingzi wants to complain about the official record here: Obviously they are all people who are called "prophets", but they can't even know the date of their own death a little ahead?!
After forcing Roland to flee, Archibald succeeded to the throne and began his reign. Archibald forced the subjugation of the surrounding lords and tribes who disobeyed him by force; At the same time, Roland, who was forced to flee, united the forces of the lords in the remote western regions of the Iron Fist Kingdom and launched a succession war against Archibald. After many battles between the winners and losers, Archilbad's generals mutinied, and Akibald's important supporter Koragon was defeated, and finally Roland won the throne, and with the help of Tanir, the court mage of the Iron Fist Dynasty, he petrified Archibald into a stone statue and sealed it in the National Library of the Iron Fist Kingdom......
In the battle plot of Heroes of Might and Magic 2, if you choose Roland, the officially recognized side of justice, this is how the plot story is described. However, for Archibald described in the plot, Lenzi himself has always had great doubts:
First of all, Archibald is Roland's brother, and it stands to reason that Archibald's inheritance is higher than Roland's, so why kill those prophets who determine the inheritance and blame Roland?!
Secondly, Archibald is the wizard hero in Heroes of Might and Magic 2, and he is a powerful wizard himself, and his heart for exploring the mysteries of magic is far greater than the heart of the struggle for the king's power, and he has no motivation to take the throne at all!
In the end, it was Ridge who had just seen Archibald take over the system animation of the brother's portrait and released the mission to rescue Roland. Archibald is a doting older brother!
The battle for inheritance is completely a good show of brothers competing for the throne played by the brothers Archibald and Roland in order to strengthen the central ruling power of the Iron Fist Dynasty! The final winner, whether it is Akibald or Roland, has further centralized the power of the Iron Fist Dynasty! In fact, Archibald is deliberately being a "bad guy", giving up the throne he doesn't care about, and letting his younger brother Roland inherit the throne with an orthodox righteous name! And the Iron Fist Dynasty's record of Archibald is naturally the same old way of historical inheritance, "highly praise the victors and greatly scandalize the losers"!
……
System Prompt: Do you accept Archibald Ironfist's commission to go to the Giant's Territory, enter the Starfall Ruins, and rescue Roland Ironfist who was captured by the demon?
Rescuing Roland, who has been captured by demons, is not only a mission to advance the main story of the game, but also a crucial task for the Templar faction to which Rizuko's own hero belongs. If none of the four current classes of Ridge can complete this task, then no player will be able to complete it!
Legiko controls the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox and accepts Akibald's mission.
Archibald nodded and handed over a magic scroll: "This task is difficult, and the rewards are not great!" After you complete your mission, I will send Roland back to Sdevik City in Erathia with this time-space gate magic scroll, and then someone will naturally send my reward to you. And my brother, who is also the Lord of Enloth, saved him, and of course he will not treat you badly! ”
After Archibald finished speaking, he knocked on the wooden table twice, and Margaret, who had been the guide all along, came in and guided the four troops of the Ridge to board the ship again and sail towards the Giants' territory......
……
Giant's Territory.
It is located between the Tulaone Forest and the Ofer region to the east of the Ntagrei continent. Legend has it that in ancient times, a huge meteor fell from the sky, forming a ruin called the Starfall Land, and many huge humanoid units roamed outside the Starfall Land all year round, so this area was named the Giant's Land.
As soon as the boat of the four-person team of Leng Zi docked, the sampan had just been set up, and before the four units of Leng Zi had landed, the four "giants" holding various glowing melee weapons not far from the shore rushed over!
Lezi immediately controlled the mermaid high priest and tore up a magic scroll of the See-Through Eye obtained in the Moon Temple, which has a true vision effect in a short period of time, and can directly probe the intelligence information of the surrounding troops!

Aren't these giant soldiers just robots?! Except for the slightly higher defense, the other attributes are the combat attributes of the standard sixth-order melee class, and there are no special skills such as death gaze, which are not difficult to solve!
The nine-tailed spirit fox immediately turned into a fox form and ran to the sampan to "gag the mouth", and Herlands and the beast-taming spirit began to attack from a distance without any worries......
Four to four, against the four classes of the Lingzi battle, the ending of the four giant machine soldiers is fixed, turning into four piles of discarded parts. Leji tries to control the nine-tailed spirit fox to touch the discarded parts, without any hint of the task of picking up loot.
Now that you've arrived at the giant's territory, the next step is to find the location of the ruins of the Starfall Land, and then enter it......
