The Hound Sword Torch went straight to the group of ghouls, and behind him, several Ranger brothers jumped off the boat with torches in their hands and came to meet them.

Ahead, the broken deputy captain Stone Snake slashed the head of a ghoul with a sword, the blade sank into it, but the ghoul did not fall, and the short knife in his hand stabbed the stone snake in the lower abdomen.

While!

The dagger is blocked by armor!

In a flash of cold light, Carter's long sword next to him slashed down, cutting off the ghoul's hands, followed by a kick, and kicked the ghoul in the waist, kicking the ghoul to the ground.

Front, left and right, several ghouls hissed from their mouths and pounced on Carter Pike, Carter was superb in swordsmanship, and the long sword in his hand swung into a web of light, whoosh, the first to pounce on the ghoul was slashed in the neck, and his head flew into the air, but the body of this ghoul still rushed forward, brandishing the harpoon, and stabbed Carter's chest under the action of inertia, but the harpoon lost its head. Carter slickly sideways to dodge, and the ghoul rushed past him and fell to the snow, black blood oozing from his headless neck. The vice-captain, Stone Snake, kicked the harpoon and mended the knife, cutting off the ghoul's right hand, and then slashed the ghoul's left hand.

The hands of the ghouls who have left their master's body are pitch black, in stark contrast to the whiteness of the snow. Black blood flowed from the broken hands, and ten fingers opened and closed as if trying to regain their grip on its harpoon. On the snow, although the hands of the two ghouls left their master's body, they were still opening and closing.

A little farther away, a ghoul with a short knife in his head staggered to his feet, spear in his hand swaying.

In the blink of an eye, Carter and Stone Snake were back to back, surrounded by seven or eight ghouls.

The fine armor helped them block the deadly attacks of many thorns, the black cloak had been torn into pieces, and the two long swords shimmered coldly, cutting down several ghouls one by one, and more ghouls screamed and pounced......

A scream was heard from the left, and a brother was impaled in the left arm by a spear thrown by a ghoul. As soon as he slowed down, three other draugr pounced, their harpoons stabbing the brother in the body, and with a clanging sound, the harpoon's spikes pierced through the armor......

The brother roared in pain, swung his long sword, and an arc of light came down from top to bottom, and in the click, he suddenly cut off three harpoons, and before he could retreat, a ghoul in the oblique stab pounced frantically and hugged the brother, and a man and a ghost fell together in the snow, and the ghoul pressed on the night watch brother, opened his big black mouth, and was about to bite down, when suddenly his body stiffened, and the movement condensed A sword tip protruded from his mouth, and someone stabbed a sword into the back of the ghoul's neck, and the tip of the sword pierced out of the mouth, making the ghoul lose power for a short time.

The brother who closed his eyes and waited for death felt a lightness on his body, and the ghoul was reached out and grabbed by the back, lifted up, and threw it hard behind him, knocking down a piece of ghouls.

The hounds arrived just in time!

"Can you still gasp?" said the hound's fierce voice.

The brother escaped death, and his heart was filled with gratitude for the hound, whose vicious voice sounded like a beautiful piece of music.

“...... Are you still alive...... Can't die......"

"Get up, get out!" said the hound's fierce tone, without the slightest warmth.

"Thank you!" the wounded brother got up, admiring the courage and strength of the hound, the hound's ability to grab the ghoul with one hand and throw it out was heartbreaking, and it was the first time he had seen such a powerful man, "Beware, hound." He turned and ran to the beach.

Several brothers who had jumped down from the ship to support them also caught up, each with a torch in his left hand. The Wraiths are afraid of fire, and with just a little spark, they will burn violently, and in a very short time they will be burned into a mass of black flesh, and eventually burned to ashes.

The hound waved the torch to force the ghouls back, he looked to the right, the brothers on the right were lagging behind, surrounded by the ghouls, and the danger was everywhere, and Carter and the stone snake in the middle fought and retreated, and the two could only protect themselves in the middle lane, the hound waved the torch to force back the ghouls on the left, turned sharply, crossed the middle ground, and rushed to the right.

"You help Carter!" shouted the hound. The brothers and torches behind them obeyed the hound's arrangement, and they turned to the middle of the lane, rushing to Carter's side, waving the torch, and the strange ghosts dodged and retreated.

Strange ghosts are afraid of fire, and it is instinctive to avoid fire!

To the right, the hounds rush into the horde of ghouls. The sword slashed, and the torch swung wildly, setting several ghouls on fire in an instant. The spirits of the trapped brothers were greatly lifted, and in the midst of the shouts, everyone struggled to cut down several ghouls and broke out of the encirclement.

"Retreat, get on board!" shouted the hound. His torch waved in a circle, and the ghouls dodged one after another, not daring to approach. But the flame of the torch began to weaken.

The attack of the ghouls on the right was suddenly suppressed by the torches and swords of the hounds!

At the edge of the forest, the wraiths on their dead horses let out a shrill whistle-like sound, and the ghouls abandoned their hounds and avoided the torches in the middle and rushed to the sea to grab the warship.

The whistling syllables of the xenomorphs were magical, and they also drove several burning ghouls, and the flaming ghouls also ran towards the sea, and they collided with the other ghouls, igniting more ghouls very authentically.

Even when it was blazing, the ghouls continued to run forward, targeting the battleship until the force of the flames brought them down.

Woooooo

A horn sounded on the battleship.

This is the clarion call that orders everyone to retreat.

The brothers in charge of guarding the battleship propped up the ship and kept a certain distance from the shore.

"Hound, we must retreat together!" shouted Cartparkek.

The situation is so desperate that the ghouls give up the fight and jump from the snow to the boat on the beach, and Carter and the hounds must run ahead of the ghouls.

If the ship is taken by the ghouls, their team will be wiped out.

came out to scout the ghosts, but they didn't expect to fall into the trap set by the ghosts.

The strange ghost actually knows how to set traps?!

This is a new signal, Carter is going back to report to Eddard, and everyone needs to be aware that the stranger has military intelligence.

The thought made Carter's heart skip a beat.

If the Wraiths really had military intelligence, then they would most likely make a detour through the waters of the East China Sea to the Great Wall, or a detour from the Cold Ice Bay to the Wolf Forest Mountains, and then copy back and block the gates of the Coalition and the Night's Watch's castle.

This thought caused a cold sweat to break out on Carter's back.

Recently, Carter has also been finding it strange that in several battles, Carter has discovered that the Wraith has a powerful legion, but in fact there is no real large-scale attack, as if they are waiting for something, or planning something, or taboo something. In this ambush battle, Carter felt that the stranger was planning something......

"Right, go right!" shouted the hound, and he stopped running to the sea, for the ghouls were already scrambling ahead of them.

The Hound speed turns to the right, and to the right is the south, which is the direction of the Great Wall of Despair. This generation of Seal Bay water flows southward, which will help the speed of fish-shaped boats.

Carter Pike said, "Brothers, right." ”

So the team turned and ran wildly to the right.

The ghouls move forward, the brothers to the right. The two legions quickly distanced themselves, and the two battleships paddled their blades, attracting the ghouls' attacks, and the ships slowly retreated again.

The ghouls rumbled to the sea, they rushed into the water, and the battleship quickly swung away, however, the ghouls continued to move forward, and the water could not stop their advance. The first ghoul sank very simply, then the second, then the third...... In the sound of the water, the ghouls followed one after the other, up and down, but they were always some distance away from the battleship. More and more ghouls were carried away by the sea, and some sank to the bottom of the sea.

At the edge of the forest outside the fishing village, the wraiths of the ice lance whistled sharply, and the ghouls returned to the shore to the strange sound of syllables...... But most of the ghouls were resolutely carried away by the sea......

The speed of the two long and narrow battleships turned and went down the river, like two marlin floating on the water, with the help of the current and the wind, the speed was as fast as flying arrows, and in front, the hounds and others were running by the water's edge, waiting for the battleship to dock to respond.

The ghouls returned to shore and did not move further, their blue eyes staring at the boiling waters, their faces horribly blue.

Two battleships docked, and Hound and Carter were the first to jump aboard.

The brothers got on board one after another, counted the number of people, and none of them were bad, only one brother was seriously injured in the left arm, and the other eighteen brothers were slightly injured. Most of the brothers' black cloaks were torn, and the scratches on their armor were appalling.

Carter untied the wine bag from his waist and handed it to the hound, he didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of fiery words.

The hound took the wine bag, threw himself on the deck, unscrewed the wine cork and took a big sip.

For wine, he can't refuse!

If it weren't for the hounds this time, the brothers would all have entered the fishing village and then been surrounded, and it is very likely that only the brothers who stayed behind in the battleship would have escaped.

The hounds inspect the fishing boats on either side of the battleship, encounter the ghouls lying in ambush on the fishing boats, and engage in a fight, alerting the brothers who enter the fishing village...... It also made the brothers who stayed on the battleship react immediately and drew their swords to defend the bow of the ship......

Each of the brothers came silently, some punched the hound in the shoulder, some patted him on the back, and many more untied their wine bags, came over and threw their bodies on the deck, raised the wine bag and touched it with the hound, and then poured a large gulp of wine.

This time everyone fled for their lives, and the battle ended, but almost no one spoke.

This is the first time that he has been ambushed by strange ghosts.

"I feel like there's an eye on us. "It's a terrible feeling. ”

Everyone was drinking, and no one spoke.

"Carter, I'm afraid there is a threat to the brothers who have come ashore!" said the stone snake.

"Blow the horn and contact them. Carter said.

Woooooo

Woooooooo

The horn sounded, and the voice was low and penetrated, and it spread far away.

Until the sound of the horn died down, and there was no response in the forest.

"Stay close to the shore, go north, and keep blowing the trumpet. ”

So the two battleships turned around and headed north, and the trumpeter brothers stood on the bow of the ship and blew their horns into the forest.

Woooooooo

The sound of the trumpet penetrated the forest and was heard far away.

When the sound of the horn died down again, there was still no response.

"Come ashore, Stone Snake, you take your two brothers up. Carter said.

"Okay, boss. The stone snake untied its shattered black cloak and replaced it with a new one. The two sturdy brothers stood up and volunteered to scout in the forest with Stone Snake.

"Carter, give the stone snake a raven. The hound drank Carter's wine bag and burped and let out a mouthful of wine. His face also turned red and black.

"Hound dog, I can't write. ”

"You don't have to write, and when the ravens come back and don't see you, we know you've met with a ghost, and we're glorified. ”

"I can write. A brother stepped forward and said.

"Okay, play, let's go together. ”

After a while, the boat docked, and the stone snake disembarked with his three brothers and a raven, and quickly disappeared into the dark forest.

Carter asked the brothers to move their positions, and he lay down next to the hound: "Hound, you have a very sharp nose, if it weren't for you, we would be finished this time." Thanks, bro. "The night watchman has a habit of calling each other brothers, which means that he thinks you are his own.

"Humph!" the hound snorted.

But the brotherhood born from fighting side by side cannot be denied by the cold snort of the hounds!

The hound understands this emotion, but he will never express it, let alone say any kind words.

The Hound can go its own way without any control on the Great Wall of Desperation, and it can do its own thing in a group of bloody men, and that's why. In the battle just now, he won the hearts of the Rangers brothers in the East China Sea. Such a person wants to look at the East China Sea if he does not abide by military rules, does not do things, does not train, does not work, does not want to be on duty, wants to eat, sleeps and sleeps, and no brotherhood will interfere with him.

"Attention, there's a ship coming from the north!" said a brother at the bow.

Some of the brothers stood up and looked at the northern water. I saw a fishing boat coming down the river, the paddles paddling rapidly, and the speed of the downstream was extremely fast.

"It's the ship of Fort Hard. Carter said. He saw the flag on the fishing boat.

The hound asked slowly, "Tough Castle?"

There are castles built in the northern wildlings, and the hounds are surprised. Wild people live like wild beasts in the cold and snow of the north, and it is the first time that the hounds have heard that wild people have castles.

"Yes, a hundred miles away, on the Cape of Stoud Peninsula, there is a Fort of Hardship, which is also the farthest foothold our Night's Watch fleet has traveled north, and Fort Hardship is a large gathering place for savages. ”

"Do you often make private deals with the freedmen?" said the hound. Carter was clearly familiar with the freedmen, fishermen, and the people of Fort Hard, a hundred miles away. This does not quite fit in with the hostile relationship between the night watch and the wildlings. It's a familiar meaning, that is, Carter himself is smuggling.

"Hounds, savages are already our allies. Looking north in the East China Sea, the fishing villages and savages along the coast have a good relationship with us. Most of the people who are fighting with us are the tribes of the Savage King Mansred, who come from the Thern Mountains. Carter was used to calling freedfolk savages.

Since the Free People's Army unites the Night's Watch of the Wall, Commander-in-Chief Jon has decreed that the Night's Watch brothers are not to call the Wildlings Wildlings, but to call them Free People. For this name, some of the Savage warriors and the Southerners they called had many fights.

As he spoke, the ship approached, and on the bow of the ship, there was a brother of the Night's Watch in a black cloak, who shouted: "Commander Carter, Fort Hard has been attacked, ask for help." “

"Sir Bob Knoll!" said Carter, in surprise.

The three ships converged, and Sir Bob Noll jumped onto the battleship: "Commander Carter, a team of rangers from our Black Castle and a team of rangers from the Shadow Tower are all besieged by ghouls in Fort Hardship, asking for rescue. ”

"How many brothers are besieged?"

"There are thirty-four brothers in all, including the Shadow Tower Scouts, the Savage Scouts, the Black Castle Scouts, and the more than a hundred freedfolk warriors of Tough Castle, hundreds of freedfolk civilians and fishermen. ”

"How many ghouls?"

"Tens of thousands of ghouls, densely packed, but as long as there are enough boats, we can get them out. ”

"Okay! I'll mobilize the fleet of Donghaiwang and ask them to send big ships. ”

"Is Fort Tough majestic?" asked the hound, rising from the deck.

"Stone castle made of rubble. The walls are wide enough for two people. ”

"How tall?"

"It's not too tall, about seven meters tall. But our flames held back the ghouls, and the ample oil helped us hold on to the tough fort. Bob Knoll said.

"A stone castle that is not tall, thousands of ghouls and tens of thousands of ghouls, how many strange ghosts are there?"

"A dozen strange ghosts on dead horses. ”

"Carter, could it be another trap for the Wraith?" said the hound.

"What traps, what traps do strangers know how to set up? Don't go if you're afraid, hound. ”

The faces of the brothers on the ship changed slightly, and the atmosphere became solemn and depressing.

The hound stared at Bob Knoll until the other man's face showed timidity: "Sir, how did you get chased into Fort Tough by the Stranger so stupidly?" You are the scouts of Castle Black, shouldn't the route be in the middle of the Shadow Forest? And the scouts of the Shadow Tower, who are in charge of the western route, how did they come to the seashore hundreds of miles away? Did the strangers chase you all the way and drive you into Fort Hardship?"

Bob Knoll said: "Hound dog, a month ago, Commander Jon noticed that the strangers had suddenly retreated, and after ten days of silence, he sent us to investigate, we encountered the strangers in the Shadow Forest, and the dense army of ghouls besieged us, and we fought and retreated, and encountered the scouts of the Shadow Tower on the way, and they were also chased by the ghoul army on three sides, and we were all forced by the ghouls to the sea, forced into the difficult fort on the Fortress Peninsula of Stord. ”

"Didn't you break a single person along the way?"

The number of scouts is generally only a few people, one person and one good horse. Since the addition of the Northerners, Freedmen, and Stannis, the scouts have grown from a few to more than a dozen.

"We were all wounded, five brothers died. “

"Tens of thousands of strangers chased the two scouts for hundreds of miles, and finally forced them into Fort Difficulty. "It sounds like it's intentional!"

"Hound dogs, whatever the case may be, we have to go. Commander Carter said, "Strangers and ghouls can't wade through the water, we just need to get people on board and we'll be safe." ”

"Yes, Commander, as long as there are enough boats, we can get them all out. Then retreat to the East China Sea Wang. ”

"Good. ”

Carter released the raven.

So, the three ships went north together. This time, no one knew that the whole army would be destroyed.

Although the hound had a faint uneasiness in his heart, he could not say anything constructive, he just felt that it was not quite right.
