The king on the Great Wall

Page 151

Hanshen is not afraid of dragons, let alone human armies.Compared with powerful fighting machines like his priests who rely on magic to maintain their shape, living people are only a potential source of puppet soldiers, and the symbol of magic in the eyes of humans is nothing more than flying lizards.The dragon's flame, which is said to have the effect of breaking demons, is nothing more than a hot wind that makes them sweat to the priests.

As long as they are willing to spend mana, any enemy in the world is a chicken and a dog—the premise is that the priests are soaked in the thick power of the cold god and have a sufficient and continuous source of power.

However, with the magic of the Great Wall still in effect, the priests of the cold god ventured across the dividing line and entered the fortress, just like a fish jumping on the shore-just as it is difficult for a fish to obtain oxygen from the air, the priests of the cold god are on the wall. Nan also couldn't obtain the supplement of "cold magic power" that they depended on for a living. Every bit of energy had to be saved and cherished to the extreme, and no half of it was dared to be wasted!

Whether it is a human army or a dragon, it is easy to deal with it alone, but if you fight both at the same time while the magic shield of the Great Wall is still in effect, it is like a fish struggling with breathing difficulties and fighting land creatures on the shore. Pretty slim!

The only way to break the situation is to capture the Nightfort before the three human-controlled dragons return, destroy the magic in the ice wall, and destroy the dam that blocks the cold magic power—flood the entire Westeros with "water"!

As long as the massive cold god's power penetrates the Great Wall and is released to the south, there will be no power in the world that can stop the cold god's pace!

Therefore, right now the army must not only move in the right direction, but must also move fast!

***

The Night's Watch has a defensive plan, and the Night King has an offensive plan.

After successfully crossing the Grand Canyon, the first thing the White Walkers did was to besiege from all sides and set up "Canyon Watch" for humans at the middle point of the Grand Canyon--that small, wooden, used to transit combat preparations and The temporary stronghold of personnel was removed.

In this tough battle, the Night King saw the use of new human weapons for the first time: Those small spherical objects did not create a sea of ​​green flames like wildfire after they exploded, but countless frozen flames splashed out. Fragments, one can threaten a large area and cut off the connection between dozens of living dead and the White Walkers.

This new threat, which has never been seen before, was quickly projected into the minds of every priest through the magic induction of the Night King. Dead men instead of fighting in person... to be as immune to this new weapon as possible.If it is really necessary to get close, ice armor must be condensed on the body surface to prevent damage from freezing fire.

The use of dragon crystal bombs in the battle allowed the Night King to consume far more than the expected number of undead in the process of taking Canyon Watch, but this is a temporary stronghold after all rather than a permanent fortress. After resisting desperately for half an hour and barely replacing thousands of ghouls, they were helplessly drowned by the corpses.

After killing more than a thousand human defenders who had shrunk into the stronghold and turned them into puppets, the White Walkers began to command the army of ghouls to perform the second task: to completely pull out and destroy the last batch of scattered weirwoods on both sides of the entire defensive mountain road.

Although the Great Wall still stands, but after clearing the weak point of the canyon, the power of the cold god can slowly and continuously penetrate to the south of the Great Wall through this opening that is tens of miles long.If it is said that the recovery speed of the magic power of the White Walkers outside the Great Wall is 100, while it is 0 inside the Great Wall, then completely destroying the weirwood forests on both sides of the canyon will instantly realize the qualitative change from "0" to "1" .This small gap is like the tide that constantly overflows the dam and washes ashore—although it is not sufficient, it slowly and continuously provides the minimum energy guarantee for the actions of the White Walkers in the south of the wall.

Although the magic power still has to be used sparingly, at least there is no need to worry about being completely exhausted all the time, unable to maintain the shape and disappearing.

In front of the huge number, thousands of weirwoods were cleared up in an instant, and bathed in the thin cold god power that gradually seeped in, the strange ghosts led the army of the dead to start the last preparation before the battle against the Great Wall: in the canyon Gentle slopes were erected overnight at the gentlest place along the entire line, for those who are still stranded at the bottom of the canyon and cannot climb the canyon because their body structure or size is too large... corpse mammoths, giants, etc. to pass through.

On this trip to the east to attack the Long Night Fort, there are several strong human fortresses that need to be removed on the way. Although the strong cities of human beings are vulnerable to the priests of the cold god, but in the case of saving magic power, the Night King believes: he will use it Get these "heavy weapons" with rough skin and thick flesh...to do some rough work.

The servants of the Cold God also understand the principle of sharpening a knife and cutting firewood by mistake. The Shadow Tower and Ice Strait Harbor are trembling for the powerful enemy that may come at any time, but it takes half a night for the army of ghouls to complete all the preparations and march forward in a mighty manner. Turn around, line up in a long queue, and start heading in the direction of the Great Wall.

Chapter 422 Shadow Tower Defense Battle

Although he criticized the new commander-in-chief's methods and political leanings and took a wait-and-see attitude, Dennis Mallister had to admit that Iger's title of "White Ghost Killer" should be changed to "White Ghost Buster".

He seemed to have anticipated every move of the enemy.

The night watchmen have focused their defense on the Great Wall for thousands of years, and Ai Gefei wanted to open up a mountain pass on the south side of the canyon to set up a new line of defense. The enemy finally crossed the canyon and attacked.

Since its establishment, the Great Wall defenders have not built walls in any of the fortresses in order to show that they have no ambitions for the Seven Kingdoms. However, Iger insisted on breaking the tradition and ordered every fortress to prepare for defense without relying on the Great Wall. Now the ghosts really came around the wall.

When the savages were accepted a year ago, almost half of the legion was against it, but after Iger took office, he would rather hide in Houguan Town and continue to implement the policy than admit his indifference. In the end, it was proved by facts: he can indeed support the new grantees, And let them play a role in the war...

Although he thought so, Dennis' rationality told him: Iger did not anticipate every move of the enemy, but took into account all the possible strategies of the enemy, and then arranged the countermeasures and notified everyone.

He now has to admit that even with his own prudence, it is impossible to do better than Iger-in the last leg of his life journey, he can serve such a strong and brilliant commander-in-chief. I'm glad I made the choice.

***

Everything is written in the defense plan, and what Dennis has to do now is to implement it faithfully: the Shadow Tower needs to be responsible for the defenders in the easternmost quarter of the Grand Canyon—the first time the beacon is lit in the canyon, The gate of the fort was opened immediately: under the maintenance of order by the soldiers, the east half of the passage was used for the land-grant people living outside the fort wall to enter the wall for refuge, while the west half was used for the reserve team inside the fort to bring supplies and troops. Go to the canyon front line to support.

A reserve team of more than 400 people started from the Shadow Tower to the Canyon Watch until they met the reserve team who also started from the Canyon Watch.Since the defense line of the Grand Canyon was attacked across the board, they had to support all the defense sections they were responsible for rather than a specific point-every time they reached a defensive section that was engaged in battle along the way, the reserve team would leave half a team of soldiers, one A box of wildfire and a few arrows, this kind of support is not great, but its tactical significance and psychological comfort to the defenders are amazing.

The defenders on the eastern side of the canyon are neither more numerous nor braver or better trained than those on the western side...but it is precisely because they know that there are people behind them, and they know that they will not be abandoned, that they as a whole hold on The longer it took, the more expensive the army of ghouls would be paid on average.

It wasn't until the news that the western section had fallen, and the frontline commanders agreed after contacting each other that it was meaningless to continue to hold on, the reserve team began to retreat from the midpoint to both ends in an orderly manner. After a small-scale battle without any danger, most of the defenders were finally successfully withdrawn into the fortress safely.

Only one tower, West Bridge Watch, was directly abandoned, and the shadow tower, which had completed all preparations, closed its gate after the last civilian escaped in, waiting for the enemy's next move.

The defenders who withdrew into the canyon were unable to escape in the end. The flames of their battles were clearly visible on the top of the Great Wall half a canyon away, but their bloody sacrifices provided the final warning and precious for the entire land-grant. The entire line of the Great Wall has completed refuge and final preparations.Dennis panted and ran on the wall of the fortress that he had been in charge of for decades to check the preparations, calm the recruits and teach defense techniques... But the sentries looked west for several hours, seeing the canyon that was originally ablaze The whole line gradually darkened and there was no shadow of half a ghoul. Until the time passed midnight, the defenders even had a steaming supper, and everyone began to wonder if the enemy bypassed the shadow tower to directly attack other fortresses Even when they went directly south, they finally appeared in the field of vision.

……

Without the barrier of the terrain and the shelter of the forest, the arrival of the tide of corpses is particularly conspicuous. Even the sound-absorbing effect of the thick snow cannot suppress the vibration caused by tens of thousands of undead puppets trampling on the ground. The first thing that comes is thunderous footsteps With a sound, the sea of ​​corpses, against the background of the snow-covered wilderness, quickly poured out from the mountains in the west like ink spilled on the table and stained white paper, and overflowed towards the Shadow Tower.

How many ghouls are there in that dark mass?Ten thousand, fifty thousand, or more?No one can tell. In the crowd of corpses, it is impossible to see a single individual clearly. When the number reaches a certain level, the human brain will completely lose its ability to judge numbers.In the dark night, the defenders couldn't even estimate the number of enemies. They could only describe what they saw in this way: the sea of ​​corpses stretched from the visible edge to the dark background of mountains and forests in the distance, with no end in sight.

The "ink" did not hit the Shadow Tower directly from the west, but infiltrated the south side slightly away from the Great Wall without stopping, until the three sides of the wilderness visible from the Shadow Tower except the Great Wall were covered with black, completely surrounded by an isolated island , began to attack.

If the canyon defenders are like a dam blocking the tide when facing the ghoul army, then the shadow tower is like a reef on the beach-although everyone faces the same number of enemies, the canyon defenders only need to face Against the enemies coming from one direction, but the night watchmen in the shadow tower have to face the dead coming from every direction over 270°!

No need to rest and eat, nor read the declaration of war, nor send someone to loudly order to surrender, the Night King has done a more thorough job than James in "do not beep if you can do it". Tens of thousands of ghouls Under the command and control of several other ghosts, not a second was wasted. At the moment the encirclement circle was formed, they launched a full-scale attack from all directions simultaneously, and they had the momentum to take down the Shadow Tower at all costs.

The continuous sound of horns sounded one after another, and the signals of attack and distress were sent to the other ten people who were close to the ice wall through various channels such as sound, beacon fire, crows, and soldiers galloping on horses and galloping on the top of the Great Wall. Seven Fortresses and Houguan Town passed on.

Adjacent fortresses such as Sentinel Tower, Shimenzhai, and Long Night Fort have already made preparations, sending redundant weapon resources and reserve troops to the top of the wall to stand by in advance - no one can guarantee that the enemy will not bypass the Shadow Tower and directly attack other fortresses, " Concentrate manpower and material resources on one point" This operation cannot be pre-judged in advance, so it was not until this moment that the news of the large-scale attack on the Shadow Tower was confirmed, and the mobile troops on the top of the wall, which had been blowing for several hours in the cold wind on the top of the wall, did not start. Stepping on the flat and wide transport avenue on the top of the Great Wall, advance towards the warring fortress.

……

"ignition!"

"ignition!"

"Burn them!"

The fortress that has been in operation for many years is much more complete than the canyon defense line that was hastily built in a few months - a defense zone with little snow has already been cleared outside the tall and solid stone wall, and densely arranged dragon crystal thorns are inlaid. Wooden pickets and fences, and even a trench was dug out of the frozen soil in front, and the interior was filled with non-volatile asphalt.

Dennis Mallister, who is over seventy years old, is far more stable and calm than any other commander of the Night Watch Corps... He strictly forbids any soldiers to waste any time before the tide of corpses enters the "clearance zone"—that is, before they approach the city wall 30 meters away. Even a little war readiness.But the moment the ghoul stepped into this area, following the old man's order, countless rockets and wild fire cans were precisely shot and smashed into the suppression area, and the high temperature of the green flame quickly ignited the less flammable wood and asphalt, In just a dozen seconds, a huge fire field several meters wide was formed outside the Shadow Tower. The fire was so bright that it could be seen several miles away.

Anyone who wants to approach the Shadow Tower must first be baptized by flames!

But this fire scene only delayed the tide of corpses for a moment. This storm on the plain was no better than climbing the cliffs of the canyon. It took only a few seconds to rush over a distance of 20 meters. No matter how fragile the corpse was, it was impossible to be burned in an instant. Death, the White Walkers didn't bother to control the distance between the puppets to reduce casualties at all. Instead, relying on the advantage of numbers, they went up in waves and chose to fight the sea of ​​fire!

The living dead rushed through the sea of ​​flames one after another, pushing down and flattening the sharp piles with their bodies, and filling up the burning trenches. Countless ghouls fell in it and their bodies turned into fuel and became part of the sea of ​​flames, but more The ghoul rushed through the sea of ​​flames with flames on his body, and came under the wall!

Ghouls are indeed afraid of fire, but the reason for being afraid of fire is that "the corpse oil, which is the carrier of cold magic power, will lose contact with the other ghosts after it is burned." That's all.They are not afraid of heat or pain, and the flammability of corpse oil itself is only comparable to that of asphalt. It is completely incomparable with gasoline or even wildfire. The night watchmen have been hoarding wildfire for many years. Obtained the complete inventory of the mad king of the previous dynasty. The inventory is indeed quite large, but it is by no means large enough to be laid on the ground around the fortress to build a isolation zone... In order to quickly ignite the sea of ​​​​fire, the defenders used a small amount of wildfire as a kindling , but the main burning materials in the fire isolation zone are still wood and asphalt.It is easy to maintain the fire, but the temperature is not very high, and it is impossible to kill the ghoul in seconds.

The ghouls are not afraid of death, they just want to rush under the wall and complete the attack mission!

Amidst the muffled noise, the ghouls bumped into the wall of the Shadow Tower, clinging to the wall and roaring, they climbed up... Of course, the wall made of stones cannot be climbed as easily as the slope of the canyon, let alone the defenders. Water and freeze ice on top ahead of time to make it even smoother.Ghouls can't complete complex and delicate operations such as stepping on knees and shoulders, and building arhats on ladders, and they don't need it-what they really do is to use each other as stepping stones who have been shot, disabled, or crushed underneath, and pile up The way of the mountain of people, desperate to climb up!

One after another, group after group... The tide of ghouls crossing the sea of ​​flames quickly huddled together under the wall, and their height quickly changed from [-] meters to [-] meters. They quickly approached the top of the wall. The soldiers shot arrows frantically, but soon discovered that this was just drinking poison to quench their thirst: the ghouls shot by the dragon crystal arrows will soon become stepping stones for other ghouls, the more they kill, the more stable the "Dead Man Mountain" will be... Everyone knew what to do without an order from Dennis Mallister.

A large number of solidified wildfires from King's Landing can finally come in handy.

These wildfires, passivated into jelly for the convenience of long-distance transportation, are not comparable to pitch burned on wood: they are extremely stable after being passivated by the night watchman industrial technicians, but they are very stable after being transported to the land grant. There is no way to reverse the conversion and re-"sharpen" it into a liquid wildfire. Due to its high ignition point and non-explosive nature, it is not suitable for making incendiary bombs and other forms of weapons, so it has been stored in various fortresses for a long time...but their essence has not changed. As long as it is lit, the heat emitted by a solidified wildfire is the same as or even higher than that of a fresh wildfire.

Cans of old wildfire from the Elysian Targaryen era were smashed on the heads of the climbing ghouls. Amidst the ping-pong-pong sound, streams of thick, viscous green liquid splashed onto the attacking ghouls. On the ghouls in the city, a torch was thrown down, and green flames soared into the sky instantly, burning like a volcanic eruption!

There is no thick snow at the foot of the wall to affect the power of the wildfire, and there are piles of ghouls as ready-made firewood and burning racks. When the wildfire burns, it is extremely vigorous and vigorous, and instantly kills all the ghouls surrounding the city. swallowed into it.The mountain of corpses that had been piled up four or five meters high looked like a soft monster trying to climb up the wall. Under the scorching flames, it quickly shrank and became shorter, and finally moved away from the top of the wall.

The wildfire ignited the corpse oil, and the corpse oil ignited the flesh and bones. All the combustible organic matter that made up the ghoul turned into a part of the flames. In the sea of ​​smoke billowing in flames, apart from the roar of the ghoul, there were also a few strange crackling sounds from time to time. , It should be that the body cavities and organs of those relatively complete ghouls were baked to burst by high temperature.

The smell makes people sick, but the situation is very good, and everyone is rejoicing - look at this posture, as long as the wildfire from other fortresses is transported here from the top of the Great Wall, the dead will not be able to step over the wall until dawn.

Now the new problem is: the fire is too big, and the tongue of flame soaring into the sky burns people on the edge of the wall so that they dare not approach, and it is difficult to observe the situation below.

……

"Move all flammable and explosive things to the inside, don't get burned, be careful of burns, and let the kitchen send some water to the wall!"

Dennis ran around yelling. He couldn't accuse the soldiers of making their own decisions. After all, this was indeed a standard response in the defense plan.Even if the wildfire burns down the fortress, it is better than letting the ghouls attack, but now he has to consider the threat that the wildfire can cause to the wall—of course it does not mean that the flames crack the stones and cause the wall to collapse, but ...the goddamn gate is wooden!Although thick and strong, there is no way it can withstand the long-term roasting of wildfire!

"Move all the horse-rejecting posts to the direction facing the door, and move some useless stones to the open space next to the school yard. If there is not enough, the house will be demolished! From the dormitory, no one of us will need to sleep tonight Already!"

Despite his old age and frailty, Dennis, the commander of the Shadow Tower, was still full of energy. He stood in the open space directly opposite the gate of the fortress and commanded, his voice was still so loud that people on the wall could hear it.Thanks to the perfect implementation of the plan, which successfully provided refuge for nearby residents and covered the retreat of hundreds of canyon defenders to the fortress, there are now nearly 3000 people in the Shadow Tower. Even if the Savage Spearwives are removed, there are still more than a thousand male defenders... Such a number of people guarding a section of more than ten miles in the Grand Canyon is naturally stretched, but if it is replaced by the three walls of the Shadow Tower, That is enough to fill the top of each section of the wall, and there are still many people left to serve as logistics and reserve teams on the ground inside the wall.

Dennis made the boys who were too young and lacked much strength be responsible for carrying water and taking care of the fire, the women used small carts to carry the war preparations and sundries, and those with experience in treatment were responsible for dealing with the wounded... A large amount of non-combustible sundries were dumped and piled behind the door After the wooden door was burnt through by fire, it was used as a follow-up bunker. When everyone in the fortress except the baby was busy doing their own work, the defenders on the top of the walls on both sides of the door suddenly exclaimed in unison. stand up.

"My God, the mammoth!"

"Damn, there are giants!"

"What are you doing standing there, shoot the arrow!"

"Why is it useless to shoot?"

"The skin is too thick... use bombs, use bombs!"

"Don't use bombs, that's for the White Walkers!" Dennis Mallister, who was annoyed by the cries of these fools, shouted angrily, but his voice was completely drowned out by the screams and shouts one after another, Just as he was calling a soldier to let him run up the wall to pass an order not to waste the precious weapon, there was a loud impact sound as if being hit by the hammer of the gods from the gate a few meters away, shaking the entire fortress. Trembling, even the ground seemed to be shaking.

Chapter 423 Thrilling and Longgang Meritorious Service

The two flames surrounding the city wall did hinder the attack of the sea of ​​corpses, but in the tide of corpses that stopped in the sea of ​​fire, a mammoth that had already turned into a corpse suddenly rushed out of the army with a corpse giant, and went straight to the army. Rush towards the door.

After being transformed into undead puppets, these two big guys are no longer subject to the physiological restrictions on large size such as extreme heart power, upper limit of breathing rate, or lack of endurance as they were when they were alive. On the contrary, their speed and endurance are much higher than before death , They ran towards the fortress from the outside, stepped over the wooden piles and trenches that had been almost flattened, and slammed into the gate of the Shadow Tower heavily against the active defense of the defenders' arrows raining down.

Whether it is the top of the Great Wall or the wall, there are actually some equipment such as bed crossbows or trebuchets prepared to deal with such a large enemy, but it is midnight at this moment, and the clouds are denser and thicker than at sunset. Although illuminated by fire and covered with snow, the army of ghouls outside the wall still looked completely pitch-black, and there was no way to tell the difference between the individuals. It took less than ten seconds to cross the flaming isolation zone and rush under the wall. Everything happened in an instant, and there was no large-scale equipment to turn around and aim at them.

The thick-skinned corpse mammoth completely ignored the threat of ordinary dragon crystal arrows, while the corpse giant was covered with a suit of armor prepared for him by the Night King, whether it was in his lifetime or after his death, and even held an armor in his hand. A long wooden stick, on which an obsidian arrow shot ping-pong-pong, shattered into glass shards. Under the eyes of everyone, the hill-like giant elephant slammed into the gate of the Shadow Tower with a bang.

The gate sagged inward at the moment of impact, and thousands of hearts beat in unison amidst the loud and muffled sound. Fortunately, the newly built Shadow Tower Fortress was not a bean curd project, and the heavy gate ended with a loud bang. The back still stood firmly in the center of the door opening, but the craftsmen who were surrounding the door and intending to block it with stones were all scared and ran away.

If this was a living mammoth, even if it didn't shatter the skull and splatter blood, it would still cause a concussion for a long time, but the problem is that it is dead.

The wildfire climbed up the mammoth's limbs along its huge feet, and spread to its body along its fur, but the giant beast didn't hesitate or panic at all. It took a few steps back, left and right with the corpse giant, and fired at the gate at the same time. Second shock.

It wasn't until this moment that the first bomb thrown by the defenders on the top of the wall in a panic crossed an arc and landed at their feet.

There were two more bangs: one was the explosion of a bomb, and the second was the sound of two big guys hitting the door again.The shock wave from the bomb made the corpse elephant and the corpse giant shake, but the flying dragon crystal fragments, which were enough to kill dozens of alder-shaped humanoid ghouls, were somewhat powerless in the face of these two big guys: most of the fragments pierced On the thick fur of the giant elephant and the armor of the giant, only a small number of them successfully penetrated the defense, and because of the lack of fire attribute magic power contained in the small size, they failed to cause a fatal impact.

……

"Hey, old guy, stay away from the door, I don't want to take over your shift so early!" Colin Halfhand, who was standing on the wall not far away, yelled, reminding Dennis who was standing opposite the door to stay away from the dangerous zone.

But the commander of the shadow tower didn't move, but quickly issued orders, calling the reserve team in the fortress around the door.

The third impact came without stopping... The thick wooden door and the thick bolt were strong enough, but the hinges and iron bolts connecting the door panel and the wall were deformed and loosened under the repeated force.After half a minute of buffering, the two heavy crossbows that could shoot at the gate finally turned around with a creak and a bang, and fired two dragon crystal spears with two bangs, one pierced into the snow. , a solid hit into the mammoth's belly, and managed to shoot it down the fourth time it hit the gate.

Watching the fallen mammoth slowly turn into a fire under the burning of the wildfire, sporadic cheers came, but the corpse elephant's task was completed: the gate, which had become crumbling after four crashes, was finally broken by the corpse giant. With the last angry kick, he fell inward, and the door opened wide.

The corpse giant, whose lower body was covered with yellow and green flames, strode in from the door, scanned the scene inside the door with blue eyes, swung the thick long wooden stick in his hand, and swept away the piled up piles. The obstacle inside the door, stepping on the sundries, stumbled towards Dennis Mallister...and the guards around him.

The semi-fixed ballista on the fence desperately moved its position and turned to the door, but more ghouls had already followed the giant's footsteps, rushing towards the first opening.

"Swear brothers, stop it with me!" Less than 10 minutes after the battle started, the Shadow Tower was in danger of falling quickly!Dennis drew out his long sword with eyes wide open, and roared at the corpse giant rushing towards him.

"Commander, please leave quickly!"

Countless soldiers with dragonglass spears surrounded them, trying to kill the corpse giant, but the enemy was wearing leather and iron, tattered but still solid armor, and the wooden sticks in their hands were far stronger than any melee weapons used by humans. Long, the dragon crystal arrows are too fragile to pierce the armor on it, and the iron arrows can shoot through but have no lethality to ghouls. Amidst the screams, brave and unlucky soldiers are constantly being beaten with blood spurting Flying out, Dennis's guards had to carry the old man back to prevent him from being caught first, and the fortress defenders had no leader.

The breaking of the city gate itself is not terrible, even the situation considered in the defense plan, but the worst thing is: the first enemy who breaks through the city gate and enters the fortress, the defenders can't stop it!

Just when the corpse giant knocked down the first roadblock with flames, and was about to tear through the internal defense line and wreak havoc in the fortress, an arrow flashed with a faint golden light that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, and was so fast that no one could see it clearly. The arrows flew over the heads of the crowd on the ground, piercing through the thick leather armor in front of the corpse giant, and buried it deeply in its chest... This ordinary blow mixed with arrows in the sky brought a completely different result. Different results: The twelve-foot-tall giant fell to the ground with a plop as if tripped, dropped his weapon, and fell into a long sleep without a sound.

Everyone looked at the direction of the arrow in doubt. They saw Colin Halfhand holding a yew wood longbow, jumping from the wall to the roof of the nearest house, and then down to the ground, rushing towards the fallen corpse giant. .

As the deputy commander of the Shadow Tower and one of the most skilled people, Colin has no doubt become the carrier and distributor of the two "Lightbringers" in this fortress. The ghost prepared the killing weapon, but the corpse giant suddenly broke into the door, and the matter was urgent, so naturally we couldn't stick to the rules.

The entire set of Lightbringers claims to have 77 pieces, but in fact it contains several fakes... But Iger naturally dare not make fun of the soldiers on the front line of the Great Wall. "Sisters" melted down the authentic product, and I took out one to use at a critical moment, and it really made a difference in one fell swoop.

"That kid...cough, the commander-in-chief didn't fool us! This bullshit 'Lightbringer' is not a counterfeit!" Colin shouted as he ran, "Someone, help me turn this damn thing over, this arrow The packaging is so beautiful, it should be reusable. Go to the door as soon as you have nothing to do, try to block the door. Dennis, tell the soldiers on the wall-use the bombs when they need to be used, don’t worry about the ghosts!"

Killing the corpse giant with one arrow, the morale of the defenders who raised their hearts in their throats suddenly burst.But Colin Halfhand's mind is full of thoughts at the moment: such a magical weapon, of course it cannot be used as a consumable!

After shooting the target, he rushed to the fallen corpse giant, not at all afraid of the danger of this big guy coming back from the dead. With the help of several soldiers, he turned it over on the ground, hacked it with an ax and It was cut by a sword, and after a lot of tossing, the dragon steel arrow was pulled out from the giant's breastbone—before the flames from its lower body spread to its upper body.

The roadblock blocking the gate was squeezed out of a gap, but fortunately, the swarming logistics personnel quickly piled up the sundries, and the opened city gate became a weak point that could not be ignored on the original solid wall. Dennis Mallister felt bad about the huge hole, "Pass down the order, let the brothers on the city wall use explosive bombs and wildfire at any cost, and buy time for us to regain the gate!"

The first wave of burning humanoid ghouls had already rushed into the doorway stepping on the corpse of the mammoth blocked outside the door, and all the idle fighters in the fortress rushed up with all kinds of guys.Amidst the howls of the ghouls and the angry roars of the night watchman soldiers, continuous explosions began to be heard from the side outside the gate—bombs and wildfires. The goods are now poured into the tide of corpses outside the gate as if they don’t need money, and they use gunpowder and flames within ten meters of the gate to form an invisible city wall, a death zone that is like a meat grinder for ghouls. It cut off the possibility of the continuous influx of ghouls, and provided precious working time for the craftsmen inside the wall.

Under the supervision of one pair of soldiers, the craftsmen managed to build a two-meter-high low stone wall in the doorway against the threat of sporadic ghouls, and surrounded the entrance with layers of fish-scale roadblocks. Put the focus of defense on this place thoroughly.

……

"Bring two ballistas from the city wall and place them in front of the gate. Only aim at the gate opening. If mammoths and giants come in, don't let them step through the gate opening half a step!" Dennis looked at the mess, and there was another The corpse of a giant was in the burning square at the gate of the city, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. "Let the children and old people who can't hold weapons first start to pass the stairs and move to the top of the Great Wall!"

The combination of a giant and a mammoth who appeared just before the artisans blocked the doorway made the Shadow Tower commander suddenly realize what he would always ignore inadvertently for a long time: the enemy is not all mindless Monsters are magical creatures with the same level of intelligence as humans, and they can't be settled by just reading a defense plan.If there are only ghouls outside the wall, then I can guard until the ashes of the dead are piled up to the height of the wall, and ammunition and food are exhausted... But will the enemy give me this chance to be a hero?

In addition to mammoths and giants, the White Walkers must have other means that they don't know about yet... And when the gate has been destroyed and the defense of the fortress has dropped, when I know it, it is probably the Shadow Tower When it fell.

"My lord, the reinforcements and supplies from the Sentinel Tower have arrived, please give instructions!"

"Carry wildfire and bombs up the walls, where they are most needed. Soldiers all brought to the gate, with all their equipment."

"Yes."

"Colin, come here!" Dennis stopped Halfhand, the deputy commander who was wiping "Lightbringer 65" like a baby, and gave him a new task with a serious face, "Give this arrow to other soldiers, I want You now take a team of reliable brothers, go up to the fifth floor of the Wall Stairs, hold it there, once the White Walkers break through the Shadow Tower, I want you to make sure to destroy the Wall Stairs, don't let the Shadow Tower fall—become The fall of the Great Wall."

"What?" An unbelievably shocked expression appeared on Colin Halfhand's face, and his gray eyes widened: "But we are not just..."

"We have stabilized the defense, the situation is very good, I am not blind! It is true now, but will it last forever?" Dennis interrupted the deputy commander, "If the brothers finally hold the fort, just treat me as an old fool Let’s be suspicious. But if you can’t hold it, I assure you, the ground will never turn defeat into victory just because you have one more ranger! It doesn’t matter if the Shadow Tower falls, but there must be one who has experienced the entire battle and can explain clearly People of cause and effect, tell the commander-in-chief and brothers in other fortresses: what arms our enemy used in the battle, how many methods and tactics were adopted-especially how we finally lost. Don't let the brothers behind, Continue to fight foolishly with blind eyes!"
