Chapter 0709: Ice Spider Invincible: All three teams were destroyed
A chill instantly froze Jon Snow, and the long claws of the Valyrian steel sword in his hand made a block move, but it was too late.
Jon maintained a blocking position, the hand holding the sword had just raised its long claws, his man was frozen on the ground, his heart had been pierced, the protective leather on his body was as fragile as parchment under the attack of the ice spider, the ice spider's leg knife was drawn, blood splattered out, like a blood arrow, but the others did not fall.
The shadow of the ice spider in Jon's horrified eyes was gone.
The translucent ice spider, the eight blue pupils on the top of the head pulled out a blue light and shadow, poof, puff, the leg blade was sharp and hard like a ghost's ice sword, in the blink of an eye, the snow was full of bloodstains, and the screams of the ranger brothers came and went.
In an instant, seven of the brothers fell!
No one could stop the Ice Spider's blow. It advances and retreats as fast as the wind, and every attack of the leg knife is extremely accurate. Before the person who was stabbed screamed and fell, the ice spider was gone, and the leg knife had pierced the body of the second person.
"Close!" Chief Ranger Boswell ordered, his voice trembling, too terrifying magical creatures, too big ice spiders, too terrifying speed and killing, those eight blue eyes, people couldn't help but panic in the bottom of their hearts, but he drew out the dragon crystal dagger, and instead of retreating, he moved forward, "Close, close, kill it." ”
More than forty brothers drew their dragon crystal weapons: the dragon crystal dagger and the dragon crystal short knife.
The dragon crystal weapon is the nemesis of the ice spider. It only takes one touch to the body of the ice spider and the ice spider will explode into a pile of ice chips.
This is the first time that a battle-hardened elite of Rangers has faced this terrifying magical ice spider, and the brothers have resisted the urge to turn and flee, and they are surrounded on all sides. With the speed of the Ice Spider, escaping will make them die faster, and the only chance is to close the fence and kill the Ice Spider with a numerical advantage.
Puff puff!
Ahhh
Three more brothers were stabbed and fell, blood spurted out, and the snow was already stained with blood, which was shocking.
The Ice Spider was so fast that the Rangers fell down three more before they could complete the encirclement.
"Close, line!" Boswell shouted. He desperately swung the dragon crystal dagger and pounced on the ice spider, the ice spider leg knife stabbed head-on, aimed at his forehead, Boswell did not dodge or dodge, the blood surged all over his body, and the dagger in his hand slammed into the leg knife of the ice spider stabbing his forehead. A cold pierced Boswell's forehead like a needle, and Boswell's heart was cold, "Long live the night watch!" he shouted, his hand suddenly empty, the ice spider in front of him disappeared, and the needle-like cold on his forehead disappeared in an instant.
In the middle of nowhere, Bosville's Dragon Crystal Dagger forced the ice spider back.
The Ice Spider could pierce through his skull, but Boswell's forward inertia would knock the Dragon Crystal Dagger into the Ice Spider's leg knife. Anywhere on the ice spider's body, as long as it hits the dragon crystal weapon, it will definitely die.
"It's afraid of the dragon crystal!" Boswell, frightened and frightened, covered in cold sweat and screaming.
Whoosh!
Several dragon crystal daggers shot at the retreating ice spiders.
Puff puff!
The dagger plunged into the snow, each time it was a little short of the ice spider.
"Use arrows on the periphery and melee attacks on the inside. If it doesn't die, we will die! Don't dodge, dodge with it. Boswell ordered again.
Just now, he fought to the death to force the ice spider back, giving him the confidence to kill the ice spider.
In the face of a combined array attack, the Ice Spider does not attack head-on. It keeps backing away, alternating eight-legged knives in a dazzling way. It squeaked, and its eight blue eyes blinked, sparkling, and eerie.
The brothers on the periphery opened their bows and arrows one after another, and the obsidian arrows shot one after another, and the ice spider was so agile that the arrows always fell in front of and on its side, unable to hit. More brothers removed their bows and arrows, and the ice spider made a heart-palpitating sound, and after a loud squeak, it fled sideways, and soon disappeared without a trace.
The brothers stood dumbfounded, in disbelief that they had just pushed back the terrible monster they had never seen before.
Boswell gasped as he walked over to Jon Snow, the Commander-in-Chief still frozen in place, white frost on his face, hair, and clothes. The blood on his chest had coagulated, and it was even more shockingly red under the hoarfrost.
A brother blows a melodious iron whistle—a new military technique invented by the Magic Mountain and brought to the Great Wall by the captive Jaime—in place of a man's cry. In the woods, two well-trained pack horses galloped out, pulling the black wagon.
There was no Bran Stark in the carriage, and there were bundles of dragon crystal arrows in the carriage. In order to confuse the strangers, Jon Snow led his troops out of the city with no one with a bow or dragon crystal arrows. They are all black cloaks and ordinary long swords. The dragon crystal arrows and bows were hidden in the carriage. When they arrived at the ambush, the brothers took out their bows and arrows, set up an ambush on three sides, and fought a beautiful ambush battle.
The brothers put Commander Jon Snow in the carriage and the other ten brothers with them, and Boswell gave the order to return to Hearth.
*
The night has been deep at the south gate of the city.
On the watchtower, a soldier saw a carriage slowly approaching in the night to the east, and there was no one in front of or behind the carriage. The soldier was suspicious, and he hurried to report the situation to the centurion, who was equally suspicious, and he hurried to the city wall, only to see the carriage coming slowly, and the curtain of the carriage had been hung up, revealing a black figure lying in a cart. The carriage finally stopped at the city gates. Two pack horses let out a low chirp.
"Open the gates, and it's the carriage of Commander Jon's team. The centurion ordered. His heart was cold.
The wagon returned with the motionless brothers of the Night's Watch, and there was not a single living person with them.
Commander Jon Snow's team is gone?
The Wraiths are none other than the Ranger led by Jon Snow, who is in pursuit!
The city gate slowly opened, and the centurion led his troops out, and a bloody breath came to his face, and the two pack horses were covered in blood, and the blood had dried up, but the bloody breath was still in the nose. Look at the two pack horses, there are no signs of injury. It's weird, as if someone deliberately smeared blood on a horse.
The soldiers were shocked, and the centurion raised his torch to take a closer look, and he saw Jon Snow's frosty face, and the bodies of ten other brothers were also covered in hoarfrost.
A total of eleven corpses were lined up on the carriage, the blood on the corpses had dried up, and some of the brothers had huge wounds on their bodies, which made it unbearable to look at them directly, as if they had died by a sword.
So, what about the forty Ranger brothers? All of them died?
"Commander Jon is dead, go tell Master Eddard Stark. The centurion was taken aback and shouted at one of the soldiers. His voice seemed to be trembling with the night wind.
Eddard Stark is the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition, overseeing the Night's Watch, the North, the Shirins, and the Freedmen.
Yes, sir. The soldier turned and galloped away.
*
In the early morning of the next day, in the hall of Fireplace City, Eddard Stark, Her Majesty Shireen, Queen Mother Celis Florent, Onion Prime Minister Davos Seaworth, Bran Stark, Clankler, Valamir the Alien, Thunder Fist Tormond, Doghead Harrh, Giant Leader Marg and others gathered, all with grim faces and a heavy atmosphere.
The hall was filled with corpses.
Some of the corpses were already broken pieces, and the corpses with severed hands and legs, and disembowelments were everywhere.
There were two hundred and fifty corpses in total.
The elite 50 rangers led by Jon Snow in the direction of the end of the river on the first road were all killed, all the soldiers of the mixed army on the second road were killed, and the hundred-man team led by the third road led by the Great Jon was killed.
The three-way team that feigned to escort Bran Stark to Winterfell was killed by an ice spider from the Lands of Eternal Winter.
More than 30 corpses were cut off by the ice spider's leg knife, and many people's faces were gnawed by the ice spider to a bloody blur, revealing white facial bones.
The bodies of Jon Snow and Great Jon Amber line up in the front.
"Bran Stark, you're the Green Prophet, and your three-way feint plan to escape failed, didn't you see the result until then?"
Bran Stark didn't say a word.
Mera Reed beside him clung to Bran's wheelchair, her eyes on Bran's calm face. She and Bran fled for their lives, and her younger brother Jiujian Reed escorted Bran to find the blood crow Brynden Hewen, whom they had met many times in their dreams, and finally helped Bran become the Green Prophet of the Terrans.
Mela Reed and Jojon Reed, both shapeshifters, were repeatedly invited by the Three-Eyed Raven in their dreams and eventually accepted the Three-Eyed Raven's task to escort Bran Stark to meet the Blood Raven Brinnden Riverven, so that Bran could inherit all of the Blood Raven's abilities and eventually transform into a new generation of Green Prophets.
The mission of the young girl Mera and her brother Jiujian has been accomplished.
The girl has developed feelings for Bran, but Bran is indifferent to her, no longer shushing and asking for warmth, and no longer caring about everything about her. When Bran escaped from the hollow in the tree where Bloodraven Brindon Riverwin lived, he seemed to be a different person. Today's Bran feels like a piece of ice in the form of a human to Mera Reed. He was no longer the sentimental, kind-hearted boy who wept over Ado's departure in the first place, he was already the Three-Eyed Raven, Brynden Gawain, the latest generation of Terran Green Prophets.
"Jingle Shirt, Bran is a green prophet, but not a god. Onion Prime Minister Davos Seaworth said. He was a man of humble birth but with an upright heart, and he spoke from the heart.
"The night is long, and everywhere is sinister, but the red god is the only true god in the world. The ecteriotic ice spiders cannot be defeated, only by the power of the Lord of Light. Celis Florent stood up and said as if singing, "My lords, we only need to sacrifice twelve lives to the Lord of Light......
"I won't allow you to burn anyone more. Mrs. Celise Florent. Eddard Stark coldly interrupted Celise. He stared at Celis, his face as cold as frozen earth. Celis's shriveled mouth opened, and finally she didn't speak again, and she brushed her sleeves away angrily.
"I can't leave, and the ice spider will come back. Bran Stark stared at somewhere on the ceiling and said, "The Ice Spider is not invincible, and although it killed three teams, it didn't attack any of them head-on. It suddenly appeared, and by the time the warriors spotted it drawing its sword and out hunting, it had already killed several people and fled. It is adept at hiding in the snow, and neither the warriors nor the warhorses can detect it until it attacks. ”
"How are we going to deal with it?"
"The whole city is on alert, with more men, I don't think it will take the initiative to attack the patrol, its sneak attack is aimed at me. The Dragon Crystal weapon is its nemesis. I made a new plan to kill it with a dragon crystal weapon as long as several dead soldiers were surrounded and used to kill it with the same fate. Any dodge will not help, it will only cost you your life. ”
"Only the same end of the attack?" said the dog-headed Ha Gang viciously.
"Yes, I've watched Jon's team fight, and I believe it's the only way to go. Whoever wants to protect me, I need seven dead men!" Bran Stark said, raising his voice.
"I'm willing to be your dead soldier. Outside the hallway, a woman's voice spoke.
The red-haired Ygritte appeared at the door of the hall with a bow and arrow, "Bran, please allow me to be your dead man." When the body of her lover Jon Snow returned, Ygritte heard the news and rushed to her, holding Jon's body and not letting go.
"Count me in. Thunder Punch Tormond said.
"I'll do it too. "The dog-headed Harblin said viciously. She was a woman, but she was stronger than men, and she looked at people like icicles.
"Isn't seven too little?" said Eddard Stark slowly.
"Father, seven people are the most suitable, just ambush around me, there are too many people, the ice spiders have no chance to sneak attack, most of them will attack other places, thus causing chaos in the whole city. ”
"Lord Eddard. "I beg you, will you let me stay with Jon Snow more often, and burn him the next day." ”
"Ygritte, if you don't burn all the corpses in time, I'm afraid they'll turn into ghouls tomorrow night. Jingle Bell said.
"It's early in the morning. Ygritte said coldly, "If Jon Snow becomes a ghoul, I will burn him with my own hands." ”
"Girl, the altar has been erected, and now the bodies of all the warriors will be burned. Eddard Stark said slowly, "Girl, let Jon Snow rest in peace." ”
Ygritte and Eddard looked at each other for a moment, and she decided to take a step back and stop insisting, "Lord Eddard, I want to see Jon off myself. ”
Eddard Stark looked at the red-haired Ygritte, and he nodded.
Ygritte saluted Eddard with her right fist on her left chest, then bent down to pick up Jon Snow's body and strode out. Outside, in the courtyard, the seven-tiered fire altar had been erected, and the bottom of the altar was filled with fire oil, and the wood was also drenched with fire oil.
Ed ordered all the 150 bodies in the hall to be carried out and placed on the fire altar.
Everyone and the guards worked together, and in half an hour, all the hundred and fifty corpses were placed, and Ygritte stood in front of Jon Snow with a torch in hand, her eyes fell on Jon's face, and Jon's face was serene, as if she was asleep.
