Chapter 407 The Great Wall Collapses

"What do the shapeshifters say?" Lind asked Sam in a deep voice, looking at the completely frozen trebuchet in front of him.

"The raven can't go further into the north. The climate is too cold." Sam wrapped his fat body tightly in clothes and answered loudly.

Lind turned around and walked to the observation deck not far away. Braving the blizzard in the extremely cold climate, he looked at everything blocked by the wind and snow in front of him, and listened to the subtle noises mixed in the blizzard. After a while, he turned towards Sam, said: "Blow the horn! There is a battle."

Hearing this, Sam took off the horn from his waist without hesitation and blew hard, but the way he blew was wrong and no sound was made. Then he blew a few more times quickly, but still no sound was made. sound.

Stannis on the side couldn't see it, walked over and grabbed the horn from Sam's hand, put it to his mouth and blew a loud and long horn sound.

The heralds who heard the sound of horns in the distance also blew the horns they wore to pass on the sound. At the same time, the night watchmen also lit bonfires on the Great Wall, passing some warmth to the soldiers guarding the Great Wall despite the snowstorm.

All the night watchmen picked up their weapons and stood guard in their respective positions, preparing to fight. All the red-robed monks were praying, and balls of flame appeared on their weapons.

Immediately afterwards, Linde took off the dragon bone bow and picked up a special dragon crystal arrow. Under the prayers of the red-robed monk, the holy fire wrapped the arrow, but it did not explode.

Then, Linde suddenly drew his bow and shot an arrow, shooting the arrow into the snow-covered air ahead.

Then a burst came from a distance, and people with good vision could vaguely see a ghoul ball disintegrating and scattering in the air, and all the ghouls were ignited. As these ignited ghouls fell, you could I saw that the ground below and the ice walls of the Great Wall were densely packed with corpses, like ants in the jungle.

At the same time, the marksmen who were assigned special dragon crystal arrows on the Great Wall also drew their bows and shot arrows. They shot the dragon crystal arrows wrapped in the holy fire at the corpse balls thrown by the trebuchet. The explosive power of the dragon crystal caused it to disintegrate, and then it was ignited by the attached holy fire and fell into the group of ghouls downwind, igniting more ghouls.

I don’t know which of the burning corpses accidentally fell into the trap previously arranged on the isolation belt. Balls of flames rose into the sky and spread around, and soon connected together to form a The wall of fire built by the wildfire will burn everything. Any corpse that comes close will be ignited, turning the isolation zone into a sea of ​​​​fire.

However, the sea of ​​​​fire could not stop the attack of the ghouls. Countless ghouls were ignited, but there were still a large number of ghouls that bypassed the ignition point, approached the ice wall, and climbed up.

Moreover, the crawling speed of these ghouls was very fast. Soon the night watchman at the observation point saw clearly that these ghouls climbing quickly on the ice wall were all wild beast ghouls. The big ones looked like shadow lynxes, and the small ones looked like squirrels. , monkeys, etc.

"Get ready to fall!" The night watchman at the observation gate saw a large number of corpses approaching and immediately issued an order, then shouted loudly: "Let go."

The logs prepared in advance were ignited and pushed out from the opening of the ice wall. The spike design around the logs allowed the logs to still sweep away the corpses on the ice wall when they fell in the air.

As the flaming logs fell, countless ghouls that had climbed to the top of the Great Wall were swept down and smashed into the group of ghouls below, destroying more ghouls as they rolled.

Although the flaming log cleared away many ghouls climbing the ice wall, there were still many ghouls, especially those beastly ghouls who were good at climbing. They avoided the log, climbed to the top, and headed towards the human warriors in front of them. Attacked the past.

It's okay to say that these beast ghouls are big, but many squirrel-like ghouls are very small and move extremely quickly. They can avoid human attacks and rush into the crowd, attacking the lower bodies of humans wantonly. For a time, the Great Wall There was some chaos at the top, causing more wights to rush up the wall.

However, someone soon discovered that the attack power of those small animal ghouls was too weak. Not to mention breaking through armor, even slightly thicker leather pants could not be broken. As long as they were not attacked by these ghouls. The vital points of the eyes are not afraid of any danger.

However, they discovered it a little late. The chaos caused by these beasts and ghouls interfered with the sharpshooters. In response to the interception of the ghoul balls, many ghoul balls survived the interception of the holy fire dragon crystal arrows and landed on the top of the Great Wall. , launched an attack on the surrounding humans.

Because of the lessons learned from the last attack, the human warriors have already developed a set of coordinated response methods. Facing the zombies falling from the sky, they no longer panic, but raise their shields to look after each other and deal with the zombies. Ghost attack.

When the melee broke out at the top of the Great Wall, Linde had already flown into the air. He was waiting for the opportunity mentioned by Vilas, and at this time he also sensed that Diltos on the other side of the West Bridge was also involved in the battle. , and the battle there should be very fierce, otherwise, Diltos would not use various innate powers continuously.

Just like the battle at the top of the Great Wall below, Lind also ignored the battle on Diltos' side. He stayed quietly in the blizzard, waiting for Vilas' signal.

Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually became dark. The battle started at noon and has lasted for several hours. The human warriors on the Great Wall have changed several batches, some have been replaced by supporting warriors, and some have He had died in the attack of the zombies and ghosts.

The top of the Great Wall was filled with a large number of human corpses and the remains of ghouls. The strange ghosts hiding among the ghouls tried to awaken the corpses of human warriors to counterattack humans, but they failed because all human warriors wore dragons. Crystal jewelry, once resurrected, will be immediately attacked by the power of dragon crystal, and the White Walkers who awaken human warriors will also be backlashed. On the battlefield, any backlash that causes an abnormal reaction is fatal. Many powerful White Walkers died this way. In the hands of human warriors.

Inside the Great Wall, a large number of ghouls borrowed trebuchets to fly over the Great Wall. Although the number of these ghouls was not large, and most of the ghouls had been shattered when they fell, there were still many ghouls who were still able to move and fight. , and some other ghosts also flew across the Great Wall in this way.

However, the number of these corpses and strange ghosts is not large enough after all, and they are not enough to pose any threat to the large number of warriors inside the Great Wall. The only trouble is that the corpses falling from the sky are weapons themselves, and many people are unable to avoid them in time. Killed by corpses.

Outside the Great Wall, waves of chaotic magic are beating against the Great Wall like waves under the control of some invisible force, and are also suppressing all flames, not to mention ordinary flames and wildfires, even the holy fire of R'hllor. It was suppressed until only a small flame remained.

A large number of ghouls piled up outside the Great Wall, forming a huge gentle slope, which made it easier for the ghouls to rush up the city wall. The originally slow and clumsy giant white ghosts also used the gentle slope to rush under the city wall and headed towards the city. Climbing up, behind the giant White Walkers there were a large number of White Walkers riding ice spiders coming over.

Seeing this situation, Linde, who had not taken action to accumulate strength, also took out the dragon bone bow, preparing to deal with these giant white ghosts that threatened them.

"Let me do it!" However, just when Lind was about to take action, Vilas's voice suddenly sounded in Lind's ears, saying: "Get ready, the opportunity is about to appear! Then follow my guidance."

After saying that, they saw the entire Impasse Great Wall suddenly emitting a strong silver-blue light. Then before everyone came back to their senses, the light instantly turned into deep purple and burst out from the inside to the outside, forming a curtain of light. It illuminates everything within a few leagues inside and outside the Great Wall.

All the ghosts and corpses that were illuminated by the light turned into ice crystals and dust without exception. Everything was cleared away, and the battlefield where they were fighting just now calmed down immediately.

When everyone looked at the quiet battlefield in front of them in stunned silence, they all froze in place and didn't know what to do. But before everyone came back to their senses, a blast of horns came from the north. It's not very big, but the range is very wide. Whether it's Eastwatch in the east or Shadow Tower in the west, the sound of the horn can be heard everywhere.

However, the sound of the horn was accompanied by an earthquake, or to be more correct, the Great Wall was vibrating. Castles such as Black Castle, Ice Scar City, Shadow Tower, Eastwatch, and the Nightfort were shattered in the vibrations, and the The corresponding city wall also collapsed, and the soldiers guarding the city wall fell from the air. They either fell to death or were covered by broken ice and rocks.

When the horn sound stopped, most of the entire wall of the Great Wall had disappeared, and only a few walls were still standing there. These collapsed walls formed gaps one after another, and the defense of the Great Wall was completely disintegrated.

Everything happened so suddenly, from the moment when the Great Wall emitted light and destroyed all the White Walkers and corpses, to when the horn sounded and caused the Great Wall to collapse, it only took a few minutes.

The vast majority of people were buried under the collapsed city wall before they understood what happened. Those who survived were all frightened by what they saw. They sat limply on the ground, at a loss. .

However, now is not a good time to be in a daze or think about what happened, because with the collapse of the Great Wall, a large number of corpses and ghosts have been prepared long ago, or they are riding corpse horses, bears, and mammoths. Or riding an ice spider, under the cover of darkness and snow, start to advance towards the Great Wall of Despair that has been breached. It only takes ten minutes at most to reach the Great Wall of Despair after a distance of several leagues.

Lind could clearly feel the movement of the White Walkers in the distance, and immediately gave orders to the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Forest in the military camp through the rune mark of the Unknown King.

Because Linde had already arranged most of the Redemption Sisters and Silent Monks under the Great Wall in advance, their losses were not very great. After receiving the order, they immediately rushed to the gap in the Great Wall to set up a defense line. God's Chosen The Corps also followed. Although the others had not yet recovered from the collapse of the Great Wall, they still instinctively followed behind the Divine Chosen Corps to set up defenses. However, most of them were frightened and had low morale. Once a battle breaks out there is likely to be a massive rout.

Just when Lind decided to do something to boost his morale, a powerful force erupted in Ice Scar City. This force was very similar to Euron's power in the City of Dead Corpses. It made people feel dirty and evil, and It quickly spread to the surroundings and penetrated into the bodies of everyone except the Redemption Sisters, Silent Monks and the Chosen Corps.

Lind did not stop this, because he felt the black oil stone, the foundation of the Great Wall of Impasse, the source of this evil power, and the ones who controlled this power were the sisters Ella and Yara. They replaced Vilas and controlled Extremis. The source of the Wall's power, and use this power to transform the already cowardly Night's Watch, free folk, and other supporting armies.

This power not only made them forget their fear, but also made them warlike and murderous. It even produced some effects in these people similar to those after the trial in the Temple of Redemption. Even though this effect was not as good as that of Redemption Sisters and Silent Monks, But it can still allow them to exert extraordinary power.

Soon the army of White Walkers rushed outside the collapsed Great Wall of Impasse and surged towards the breaches.

The Chosen Legion on the east side of the breach was waiting in formation, with shields and spears raised. Sisters of Redemption and Silent Monks were among them to deal with the White Walkers rushing into the formation, while the west side had been hacked. The power of the whetstone has been catalyzed to the extreme and is guarded by human warriors.

When the White Walkers rushed over, the small catapults behind the array threw all the remaining wild fire cans outside the breach in the Great Wall, eliminating a group of corpses and White Walkers first.

The chaotic magic outside the Great Wall suppressed the power of wildfire. A large number of White Walkers crossed the line of fire and rushed into the formation to engage the human army in close combat.

The specially-made shields of the God's Chosen Corps blocked the returning corpses. The dense array of dragon crystal spears made the entire formation look like a hedgehog. The soldiers mechanically poked out and withdrew the spears attached to the dragon crystals, eliminating each of them. The corpses came over, and the White Walkers mixed in with the corpses easily dodged the attack and jumped into the formation riding ice spiders.

Just when they were about to destroy the formation, the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Monks hidden in the formation appeared beside them like assassins, piercing their bodies with weapons attached to Valyrian steel, and solved them at the same time and with cooperation. Their mounts are ice spiders.

Compared with the efficient and neat defensive front of the God's Chosen Corps, the battle between the Night's Watch, the free people and the supporting army was like a primitive battle. It was a close-quarters melee. The only thing that both sides needed to do was The thing is to stab the weapon into the opponent's vitals before he is completely dead.

However, these human warriors who were infused with the power of the black oil stone completely transformed into beings similar to the White Walkers and corpses. Not only did they forget fear and only retained killing, even their bodies became different. The most obvious One point is that unless they cut off the head, even if they are stabbed in the heart, they will not die immediately. Instead, they can maintain fighting power for a long time until the blood dries up.
