The king on the Great Wall

Chapter 424

The Night King doesn't have meat, but at this moment he is really experiencing the feeling of "meat pain".

The giant armored corpse lost contact with him a few seconds after entering the human fortress. The time was so short that he didn't even have time to carefully observe the internal structure of the fortress through his eyes.Through the incomplete message at the last moment from the magic link, he could feel an incomparably surging fire-attribute magic power that was thousands of times stronger than frozen fire penetrated from the position of the giant's chest, dispelling himself in an instant and pouring it into his body. To control all its cold magic power.

The Night King could probably guess that it was some kind of magic weapon, but what he couldn't understand was that such a remote fortress at the westernmost end of the Great Wall would have such a fetish that restrained himself.

Corpse giants and corpse elephants, there are more than a dozen in the army, but it is surprising that such a big guy can be sent out suddenly. Now that he knows that the opponent has restrained weapons, he keeps sending them into battle as consumables. Even the Night King would be reluctant.

Of course, this kind of "reluctance" is only for the rarity of mammoths and giants themselves, and has nothing to do with personal feelings.As the number one servant of the Cold God, the Night King's feelings about war damage are completely different from that of humans: in his eyes, there is no concept of "brothers' lives", all ghouls, including the priests and even himself, are all Consumables for the greater purpose.

As long as the function of the Great Wall to shield the power of the cold god can be destroyed, and a large amount of cold magic power pours into the fortress, there will be a lot of living people in the south waiting to be eliminated and transformed into puppets. He is the general who has the most soldiers in the world. The commander who is least worried about casualties.

However, not worrying about the source of troops is something after destroying the magic of the Great Wall. At least for now, he can't let the ghouls be consumed meaninglessly.

As the object of defense, no one knows the strength and invulnerability of the Great Wall better than the Night King.

The physical majesty and solidity of the ice wall itself need not be repeated, but people should be more amazed by at least three kinds of magic woven in its base:

The first is the "isolation magic" that spreads evenly over the entire length and has a basically constant strength.The invisible barrier it formed isolated the power of the cold god and blocked it outside the Great Wall, making it impossible for human natural enemies to break into the world south of the wall with a light squad and kill and destroy at will.The Priest of the Cold God cannot awaken the dead inside the Great Wall to become ghouls, and the ghouls brought to the south of the wall cannot feed back information to the Priests of the Cold God outside the Great Wall through the Great Wall It is precisely because of this magical barrier that it is not perceived and controlled by the other ghosts.

The second type is the spell that keeps the main body solid and stable.The part above the ground of the Impassable Great Wall is an ice wall. This material selection is not because "Bran the Fortress thinks it is very good", but because ice is the only thing in nature that simultaneously satisfies "large quantity and easy acquisition", "immunity to cold magic", and "quality". Light and strong" these three conditions of the material.

Although there are many advantages, it has a fatal disadvantage: it will melt in summer.

The heat preservation magic woven into it is to solve this problem: when the weather is hot, the night watchmen will indeed see the flowing water on the surface of the ice wall melt or even fall off and collapse a little, but the loss is the frost, rain and snow condensed on its surface, A layer of skin flakes is not the body of the Great Wall. The real Impossible Great Wall can maintain its own temperature below freezing point, and even has the function of slowly recovering itself when it suffers from non-serious external damage. With help", it can go through countless winters and summers and still maintain a high shape, firmly guarding the human kingdom.

The third type is also the most difficult for the priests of the cold god, a "suppressive force field" that radiates outward from the energy core of the Great Wall's magic source.

The residents outside the Great Wall and the night watchman rangers who often go out of the wall to act out the actual observation of the behavior and movements of the ghouls and other ghosts have come to a consistent conclusion by using simple logical thinking and dialectics: the closer the enemy is to the Great Wall, the stronger the enemy will be. weaker.

This judgment is basically correct, but the details need to be revised and supplemented.

The more accurate truth is that the closer the cold magic gets to the giant glowing heart tree beneath the Nightfort, the more it is suppressed.

Moreover, this kind of suppression and weakening has completely different effects on ghouls and white ghosts.

Ghouls can "resurrect from the dead" because of a little cold magic power injected by the priests of the cold god, but their strength comes entirely from their own physical bodies.When it is close to the "magic suppression source" of the Long Night Fort, its connection with the White Walkers will be weakened, and the effect will be reflected in the untimely reception of commands, the severe shortening of the controllable distance, and even the out-of-control disconnection.However, whether it is in the land of eternal winter, next to the Great Wall or even in front of the giant tree under the Long Night Fort, ghouls are ghouls, and they only have "dead" and "alive", "controlled" and "uncontrolled". The states of "control" will not become stronger or weaker as you change places.

But the White Walkers are different: since their bodies are 99% composed of magic power, while they have almost complete immunity to physical damage and master all kinds of incredible magic methods, they are subject to the significant effect of this cold magic suppression force field. The Great Wall, the power of their magic will be severely weakened. After crossing the Grand Canyon, not only the magic recovery speed of the cold god priests is suppressed to the original 1, but even the magic power is suppressed to half of the normal situation.

And this is only at the westernmost end of the Shadow Tower Great Wall.As the army marched towards the middle of the Great Wall, this suppressing effect would become more obvious and stronger. Outside the Long Night Fort, the priests of the Cold God might only be able to exert their magical abilities by [-] to [-] percent.

The most disgusting thing is: this magical force field is only effective for cold attribute magic, and it is beneficial and harmless to any other attribute magic!

Huge body, complex magic, and the largest standing army in Westeros together make up this human shield.If the Night's Watch gathers an army at the Nightfort to fight against the army of the dead, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

This is why the Night King's goal is clearly the Night Fort, but instead of bypassing the forts along the way and attacking it directly, he decided to attack it from the beginning. Break down one by one to continuously kill and injure the human defenders. By the way, capture the ladder connecting the top of the wall in the Night Watchman Fortress and replenish your own troops. After completing the tactical goal of occupying the top of the Great Wall, send the ghouls to march along the top of the Great Wall to the Nightfort. From two heights of [-] feet apart, they launched an all-round three-dimensional attack on the final target, so that the Long Nightfort was isolated and helpless, and there was no way to enter the sky, so as to ensure that it could still be achieved even when the cold magic was suppressed. The strategic goal of capturing the Night Fort and destroying the magic source of the Great Wall.

In the long run, ghouls are the last renewable resource that needs to be saved. But at the moment when the magic of the Great Wall has not yet expired, the Night King still has to rely on these puppets to fight against the living defenders.

The weapons that can instantly kill a corpse giant must also instantly kill the cold god priest. They must have enough ghouls to cover to ensure that human heroes cannot identify and seek and rush to decapitate or snipe themselves. They must have enough ghouls to go up the stairs after breaking through the shadow tower. Go up and occupy the top of the ice wall, cut off the mutual support channels between the human fortresses, and rush all the way to the Long Night Fort. They still need to have enough ghoul army, and after arriving at the Long Night Fort, "the cold magic is almost invalid". The largest fortress built by the night watchmen, and finally completed the goal of destroying the magic of the Great Wall.

But right now, the human defenders are far more prepared than imagined.

It took less than an hour to capture the defense line of the Grand Canyon, losing nearly [-] ghouls, and less than half an hour to start the battle under the Shadow Tower, a small fortress that was originally intended to be taken quickly, that strange fuel killed thousands of ghouls under the wall. The ghouls were reduced to ashes. This is a loss that cannot be made up for by killing everyone in the fortress.The terrifying green oil of human beings seems to be endless. If you want to attack such a stronghold with a loss of several thousand, and another stronghold with a loss of tens of thousands, the priests will probably have to be bare commanders and fight hand-to-hand when they reach the Nightfort.

The Night King observed the Shadow Tower carefully for a while with his eyes sharper than eagles, and finally found the reason why the defenders had so much firepower: on the solid wooden stairs built against the wall, dozens of living people were panting up and down. Next, if you guessed right, they transported that liquid fuel from other fortresses along the Great Wall, so that this fortress has seemingly inexhaustible weapons!

The plan to use up the enemy's combat readiness to win calmly failed, and the Night King understood that this could not continue like this.

He turned his head to look at the other priests of the cold god beside him, and gave orders in sharp old sayings. The three subordinates nodded silently, and rode forward on corpse horses.During the surge of magic power, a layer of armor-like substance capable of resisting the attack of ordinary freezing fire condensed and formed on their body surface, and the sea of ​​corpses also churned at the same time. Countless speed-type ghouls transformed from bears, wolves and other animals squeezed away the human-shaped corpses. The ghost followed the White Walker vanguard team and rushed towards the burning gate of the Shadow Tower.

Maintaining this layer of ice armor will consume a lot of magic power, and at the same time use other methods, which is an unbearable burden for ordinary priests who are not strong enough, but in order to prevent the loss of ghouls from continuing to rise, the Night King decided: Use some ultimate means.

Chapter 425

When a siege battle occurs in the living world, if the attacker finds that his offensive cannot be effective in one fell swoop, in order to avoid meaningless casualties, he will definitely choose to temporarily withdraw his troops, rest and reflect, re-discuss the attack plan, and after coordinating the coordination between the various troops, replace the casualties Oversized troops make a comeback...

But the army of ghouls does not follow this common sense at all.

Although the shadow tower defenders took out weapons that completely restrained them, the sea of ​​corpses only slightly slowed down their offensive pace (even this was just an illusion created by the defenders' confidence), without any intention of stopping their death.The fire in the first annihilation zone composed of burning wood and asphalt on the outside has been trampled to the point of being almost extinguished. The proportion of the living dead who can safely cross this area and rush under the wall is constantly increasing. The ghouls are like seawater at high tide. The same endlessly surged up, hitting the combined defense line of wildfire and high wall.

Although sporadic ghouls finally began to climb up the wall with their bodies covered in flames, forcing the defenders to use dragonglass spears... But overall, they are still just water droplets sprinkled on the hot iron plate, with a stabbing sound. It turned into smoke, and the defense line of the living was still solid.

However, it is precisely because the attack has never been interrupted, under the dual effects of the "black effect under the lamp" caused by the glare of the fire and the sense of urgency brought by the ghouls pounced on under the nose, the internal mobilization of the army of dark ghouls No one could see clearly until the battle situation in the direction of the gate changed again.

……

Because the city gate has been broken, in order to strengthen the defense of this weak point to avoid short-term effects, the defenders invested a lot of wildfires and almost all dragon crystal bombs in this area far more than other sections of the city wall-the fires in other places were all the same. It was confined under the wall, and only burned those ghouls that had leaned against the wall and started to climb, but a sea of ​​flames with a radius of more than ten meters was created at the gate of the city. In order to save wildfire, the defenders even kept throwing them into it Firewood for combustion.

Looking down from the top of the Great Wall, the particularly conspicuous group in this ring-shaped wall of fire is like a pigeon egg diamond inlaid on a platinum ring, shining brightly and dazzlingly.Not to mention ordinary ghouls, even if there were a few more corpse elephants, a layer of skin would have to be burned off if they wanted to wade through this sea of ​​flames.

The blazing flames seemed to dispel the chill of winter, and the temperature inside the walls of the Shadow Tower seemed to be much higher.The tense atmosphere that seemed to be approaching the doomsday began to ease with the mass killing of the enemy. The two crossbows had been carried to the inner side of the city gate by shoulders and hands, and aimed at the city gate hole after adjustment.After the supplementary defense line with all the reinforcements was established, the tense nerves were relaxed, and the reserve soldiers who were responsible for cleaning up the sporadic ghouls who rushed into the door even began to have other concerns.

A reinforcement from the Sentinel Building asked: "Hey, you said, the wildfire won't soften the frozen soil of the foundation and let the wall tilt outward?"

"Don't think about it, the foundation of the wall was dug by ourselves last year - bake it first, melt it and dig it. Fortunately, it was not so cold at that time. Under the personal supervision of the master, whether it is a craftsman, a steward or a 'noble' ranger lord, all the brothers took turns to lay the foundation four times the thickness of the wall without any compromise! Rather than worrying about the wall collapsing, you should worry about wild torches The Great Wall of Desperation has melted, let the ice wall fall to the south and kill us on both sides!"

The joke was cold, but as if to dispel the tension, the nearest soldiers burst out laughing after hearing this, and one of them opened his bow while laughing. The ghoul rushing in with flames in the doorway was shot to death with an arrow.

Compared with the brothers who were braving wildfire on the city wall and scrambling to defend against the ghoul army, the doorway was too peaceful.

Then, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the flames on the torches all around suddenly shook violently, and even the snowflakes falling on the top of the head suddenly became denser.

The few people who were still laughing just now were suddenly interrupted by the sudden rise of goosebumps. They were about to talk about something to relieve their tension when the shouts from the city wall made their hair stand on end.

"Hey? Why can't the fire start? Hurry up and add wildfire! Still can't do it? Bomb! Where's the bomb?!"

***

Under the cover of puppet giants and mammoths, the three ordered cold god priests arrived at the edge of the sea of ​​flames and began to cast cold magic at close range.

Due to the suppression of the force field contained in the Great Wall, a normal-power spell outside the Shadow Tower will now have to be cast at a closer distance and consume more magic power - so the Night King sent their trio team for this task.With the magic power recovery rate only 1% of the original, magic has become a consumable like a bomb in the hands of humans. They didn't plan to use this method in the first battle to attack the Great Wall, and exposed their cards in advance.

After the spell was cast tonight, the three priests would either return to the north side of the Grand Canyon to replenish their magic power, or they would act as spectators in the most critical battle in the next two to three days, reducing the number of servants available to the Cold God by -3.

This is quite a price, but paying a big price can really and quickly pay off, and as the spell continues to be cast, the magic power is quickly consumed-the most dazzling diamond light on the ring that surrounds the Shadow Tower to protect it from ghouls Suddenly dimmed down!

The three priests jointly cast a spell to lock the air flow in the square inch of the gate of the Shadow Tower... By preventing the air convection, the combustion reaction cannot be supplemented with oxygen, and the temperature of the area is lowered after the flame is extinguished. , Forcibly strangled the group of defensive supplements that were crucial to the defenders, exposing a huge defensive gap outside the already dilapidated gate!

Corpse bears, corpse wolves...these special cold god units, whose speed is far faster than human ghouls because they land on all fours, took advantage of the short gap when the flames were extinguished, roared and charged forward from the sea of ​​corpses, and quickly poured into the black Huhu doorway.

The tense defenders at the top of the wall immediately blocked the door with the backup explosive bombs brought in from the sentinel building. The black powder has its own oxidizer, and the lack of oxygen cannot prevent it from exploding. The pace of the ghouls is fast, but the limited dragon crystal fragments are not as good as the all-pervasive flames after all, and because of the innate flexibility of the predators, the ghouls who fell in front cannot stop the follow-up corpse wolf corpse bear Even if only half of the fast ghouls can rush into the entrance, they are still a steady stream of enemies for the defenders!

"Fire arrows!"

The moment the first corpse wolf passed through the doorway, crossed the obstacle, bared its teeth and rushed towards the defenders behind the door, the guarding team on full alert began to slaughter with fierce firepower. The dense array of dragon crystal arrows left the enemy nowhere to hide , the spears fired by the crossbow machine in the bang bang can often penetrate several enemies and nail "ghost strings" on the doorway wall...

For a moment, the scene was quite encouraging: it seemed that the new kind of ghoul pouring in through the doorway could not break through the defenses.However, the archers of the night watchmen have gaps between shots after all, and the reloading of the crossbow is extremely slow. They cannot always maintain the intensive firepower for the first moment. The defenders at the top of the wall also quickly exhausted their newly acquired explosive bombs. As soon as the explosion stopped, the frantic influx of enemies continued to push the front line into the fortress.

170 seconds after the three cold god priests ventured close to the front line and cast spells at close range to extinguish the sea of ​​flames at the gate of the shadow tower, the first corpse wolf rushed into the position of the human defenders behind the gate. Kill it before it bites the archers, but only a dozen seconds later, another dead bear was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and still not dead-a night watchman who finally fell down the bunker, and was joined by other soldiers Bite off the head of this unlucky guy before the elimination, and the No.1 victim of the gate defense battle was born.

……

Fighting among the living, it is still possible for the defenders to drive them down after the enemy charged onto the grant, but this is impossible in this great war of ice and fire - the living and the dead fight, only Two scenarios: either almost no casualties, or a rout...no neutral ending!

When the firepower of the defenders ≥ the speed of the enemy's influx, since the ghouls cannot perform fine operations such as long-range attacks, as long as the White Walkers do not shoot, ideally the defenders can achieve zero casualties before running out of weapons.But once the firepower of the defenders is less than the speed at which the enemy is coming, then, as the casualties begin to appear and continue to expand, the reduction in personnel will lead to a continued decrease in firepower... In a vicious circle, the only thing waiting for the living people is complete failure, at most they rely on Courage and faith will fight to the end, replacing more enemies before the entire army is wiped out.

Between screams and screams, casualties quickly changed from 0 to 1 after breaking through 2, from 2 to 3...to 10...20... Until then, the situation did not seem to be irreparable: there was More than 200 soldiers guard the gate, and the first one will be on top after the previous one dies. More logistics personnel can also join the battle at any time.But with the disappearance of the distance and depth between the enemy and the enemy, after the hand-to-hand combat begins, there is no suspense about the ending.

Even at this moment, the ghouls continued to attack in other places where the fires were not extinguished outside the wall. The seven or eight hundred night watchman soldiers on the wall were too busy to take care of themselves, and had no chance to pay attention to the situation inside the fortress, let alone go down the wall for support. , to regain the gate again.

"My lord, your life is more meaningful to the Night Watch! Please retreat from the stairs immediately, and I will take over the command here!" Bann, who replaced the deputy commander Colin Halfhand and kept the two dragonsteel arrows, persuaded Dennis loudly, " I will stay here, and as soon as a strange ghost appears, I will immediately kill it with the Lightbringer!"

Contrary to the previous one where he had to be dragged away by a few people, this time, Dennis Mallister didn't insist any more. He nodded silently to Ben, and without even saying a word, under the protection of his trusted guards, Withdrew towards the upper wall stairs behind the shadow tower.

He didn't want to run, but to execute the darkest, cruelest, most ruthless part of the "Great Wall Defense Plan", which only the commanding levels of the fortresses knew.

[When the fall of the fortress is inevitable, the commander must destroy the upper wall steps at all costs, and the priority is above all else! 】

He has already entrusted this task to Colin Halfhand. This guy has always been reliable. Taking a step back, even if something happens to him, if the small number of defenders on the top of the Great Wall have enough brains to react, they can destroy it from above. Ladders are also available.But... after witnessing the unimaginable magic methods possessed by the White Walkers, Dennis decided to do it himself, and formed a triple insurance with his deputy commander and the sentries on the top of the Great Wall to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Chapter 426 "Sunk Costs"

Flames ignited everywhere inside the shadow tower's enclosure, except for the hidden content... The part of the defense plan that is open to everyone has also reached the final step: street fighting and evacuation.

As the rhythmic alarm bells sounded representing the fall of the city gate, the soldiers on the wall also began to give up their defense, and retreated into the fortress in an orderly manner, igniting the buildings and the roadblocks that had been piled up in the middle of the night, relying on the fire and the familiar terrain And fight and retreat, gradually shrinking and retreating towards the wall climbing steps in a semicircle.

The overall situation has been settled, the White Walkers did not enter the fortress with the tide of ghouls, and Bane, who was holding two Lightbringers, did not wait for the chance to be the White Walker Killer in the end, but this also means that the strange situation of the flame extinguishing will not happen again Inside the wall.In this "no abnormality" situation, the advantages of well-trained and pre-planned are immediately apparent: Although everyone knows that the fall of the fortress is a foregone conclusion, they have to retreat to the stairs and retreat to other fortresses along the top of the Great Wall. But the night watchman commanders in black didn't take the lead in panic, and the mountain clans and newly-granted land militia soldiers under them followed suit, gritted their teeth to buy time for the evacuating women, children and logistics personnel.

Commanding the soldiers to move all the combustibles they could find - lamp oil, asphalt, even cloth and firewood - to the bottom of the steps, Dennis Mallister sighed and looked in the direction of the fort that had turned into a sea of ​​flames - non-combat The personnel were almost evacuated, and what he was worried about now was: Can the things he prepared destroy the ladder?

……

There are nineteen fortresses along the Great Wall, and only the original night watchman stronghold "Night Fort" was determined to be built when the ice wall was built - the builder Brandon left it on the top of the wall in the blueprint. Passage, ice stairs.

The other fortresses do not have this exclusive treatment. Eighteen fortresses, including the Shadow Tower and Castle Black, were all built by the artisans of the Night Watchman Legion established later. Nailed into the body of the ice wall, after wind, frost, rain, snow and repair and reinforcement, it has almost merged with the Great Wall. Although it is made of wood, it is actually very cold and dense. If you haven't succeeded in destroying it, so what?

Just as Dennis Mallister and his guards were racking their brains to think "where else in the fortress can we use the remaining combat equipment", things finally went smoothly: the second team from Shimenzhai The reinforcements also brought wildfire, and descended to the ground through ladders and cages.

"Sir Mallister!" The deputy commander of Shimenzhai, the team leader, was selected and promoted from the Shadow Tower. He recognized his old boss at a glance, "We brought two boxes of bombs, ten boxes of wildfire, and a hundred A man, where do you want us to go to support, please tell me!"

"It's just in time! Stack all the things around the base of the steps, and when you're done, go back to the top of the Great Wall along the steps, so that the people above are also ready to burn the steps, with wildfire!"

"What?" The leader of the reinforcements stared at the Shadow Tower, which he had served for more than ten years and was both familiar and strange after rebuilding, but now it was on fire everywhere. "Are you sure you don't need reinforcements?"

"Go back to the top of the Great Wall! This is an order!" Dennis shouted with all his strength, and even turned to his guards, "You too! The new task is: guard the top of the Great Wall and prevent any enemies from climbing through the stairs or walls Go up. This is an order, execute it immediately, I will cover the task of evacuating and igniting the follow-up brothers, and I can do it alone!"

"Can……"

"But your mother? Which of your ears can't understand the words 'this is an order'? Get out, don't stand in front of the stairs, and block the way for the brothers behind to escape!"

Dennis Mallister never swears, and his abnormal tone reflects his firm determination. A group of reinforcements who were about to rush into the battlefield, who were either uneasy or excited, froze on the ground under the stairs, and looked at each other with Dennis's guards. Seconds, I roughly understood the plan of the Shadow Tower Commander: this respectable old man intends to live and die with the fortress.

The phrase we stay with you is stuck in the throat, but in the end no one can muster up the courage to say it, everyone can only stand upright with tears in their eyes: "Yes, sir!"

……

Live and die with the fortress?Shit!

Although Dennis has white hair, white beard, and wrinkled face, he looks like a complete old stubborn and conservative...but in all conscience, he was never a pedantic or stubborn person.The fortress is dead, but the people are alive. Use the living to bury the dead?Only a fool would have such a stupid idea!Taking a step back, how can I bother him, the Shadow Tower Commander, to do something that can be solved with a single rocket?Surviving and preserving the vitality is the way that is really beneficial to the war situation.

However, when it comes to the vital forces—there are at least [-] soldiers in the Shadow Tower who have not been able to evacuate at this moment. They are retreating in their direction step by step according to the tactics they have planned, either in a panic or in an orderly manner.Compared with this old man, they are the real force!

But they were destined to be unable to evacuate. Dennis understood this the moment the ghoul vanguard broke through the door: if the defenders who had been bitten by the ghoul and stuck to their buttocks all crowded around him and went up the stairs to evacuate, There will inevitably be chaos under the stairs, and it's hard to say how many people can escape. If the ghouls get a chance to mix in the crowd and climb the stairs to the top of the wall, then they will become eternal sinners.

Although they are not dead yet, they are still fighting, and even the casualties have not yet reached half, but it is already the first round of confrontation in this life-and-death battle. Coming out will only trap more soldiers, and even put the entire Great Wall in crisis.

However, leaving hundreds of brethren to flee alone?I have lived for more than 70 years and have a good reputation all my life. If I bear such a big stigma at this time when my neck is buried in the soil, I will regret it and come back to life!

Dennis didn't want to live and die with the Shadow Tower, but to live and die with the rest of the brothers who obeyed and trusted him, but in the end they had to be cut off by his own hands.If the destruction of the stairs is compared to the breaking of a strong man's wrist, then his "knife" for carrying out the mission should also be buried with the broken half of his arm!

***

He drew out his long sword, and using both trembling hands, he used the blade to pry open tightly nailed wooden boxes one after another, and placed the explosive bombs protected in the pile of shock-absorbing straw into the incendiary that had been prepared before. Beside the pile, the wildfires were opened one by one and poured onto the wooden slats of the bottom step... During the period, there were still sporadic logistics personnel who did not keep up with the large army due to various business delays and ran through the middle of the fortress. Asked if they needed help, Dennis yelled at them all and drove them to the top of the wall.

It took more than ten minutes to get everything ready. Panting, he leaned on the wooden railing, took down the torch stuck on the side, and finally looked in the direction of the main road leading to the stairs in the fortress.

He wanted to save a few more, even if they were deserters, as long as those who came were not chased by ghouls... But the last living thing that ran past him was the dog raised in the kitchen of the Shadow Tower-this poor little guy felt Seeing the existence of the cold magic, he ran past Dennis's feet whimpering with his tail between his legs, and without even stopping to look at him as the commander, he skillfully fled to the top of the Great Wall along the stairs on all fours.

Then, there are corpse wolves and corpse bears emerging from the darkness—this group of ghoul vanguards who came from the direction of the gate first killed the line of defense, and under the order of the Night King, they achieved what humans could never do. Really don't like fighting."They ignore soldiers close at hand, don't bother to slaughter routed enemies or stop Night's Watch troops retreating from the wall in other directions, like hot knives through butter - aiming straight for the upper wall stairs He rushed from the direction of the fortress, and appeared first in Dennis' vision when most of the fortress had not yet fallen, and even the troops blocking the gate were still fighting.

so fast!Accurate!

Dennis secretly praised, not only affirming the efficiency of the enemy, but also admiring the "Defense Plan" that predicted everything... Even though he didn't write this plan, at this moment he couldn't help but feel a rush in his chest Pride: No matter how you try your best, you will still be defeated by us humans in the end.

He pulled out a toothy grin, let go of the torch, and burst out a foul language that he had never uttered in his life: "Come on, you sons of bitches!"

Chapter 427 Hunting the Other Ghosts!

The Shadow Tower exploded.

It literally exploded.

The flames of the explosion were clearly visible several miles away, and the resulting shock wave propagated along the ice wall of the Great Wall to the east, causing a slight "ice avalanche" to occur on a long section of the ice wall along the way, shaking dozens of tons from the surface. Ice chips that are not firm.

This bombing destroyed the first and second floors of the Great Wall Staircase on the Shadow Tower, a total of more than ten meters high. The lamp oil piled up in advance on the third floor platform has also been ignited into flames and is crumbling... and the fifth floor platform at a height of 40 meters Colin Halfhand, also tearfully leading his subordinates back to the top of the wall, began to destroy the stairs in the middle.

The battle between the Grand Canyon and the western end of the Great Wall is almost in suspense, and it is about to come to an end. However, at the easternmost end of the Great Wall a hundred miles away, the battle of Donghaiwatch has also reached a similar stage.

……

The defenders of East Sea Watch lost the man on the top of the wall and most of the soldiers in the deicing team when the ice storm blew past, and there were no large numbers of defenders withdrawn from the front line of the canyon to join. The number of combat personnel was slightly smaller than that of the Shadow Tower.Fortunately, the Ghoul East Army who came across the sea on the ice is also low-matched: the number is only one-fifth of the large army led by the Night King, less than [-], and there are no heavy siege troops like mammoths and giants. Weapons... So, although this evenly matched offensive and defensive battle started earlier than the Battle of the Shadow Tower, it lasted longer, until the two white ghosts who led the team could no longer bear the loss of the ghouls and used magic to help destroy Behind the defenders' wildfire defense line, the ghouls finally climbed the wall and entered the fortress with difficulty.

The same heavy snow is flying, the same fire everywhere, most of the ghouls attacking on the east road are transformed from humans, humanoid ghouls are the basic unit, and the night watchmen have long been familiar with their combat effectiveness, so even if they successfully break through the wall, they still have not been crushed As the reinforcements from Beacon Tower and Sable Hall rushed to the battlefield one after another, the battle inside the fortress walls was in full swing, showing a slight stalemate. Take back the fortress" feeling.
