Chapter 565: Strange Ghost (II)

Now that the location of the strange ghost has been confirmed, there is nothing to say, and when the sky is slightly bright, Li Lingyi led the army to set off. In addition to his 10,000 men, the leader of the wildlings, Mance, also led 1,300 wildlings into battle. This is the most warrior the savage can get together in a short period of time, and it is also a clear expression of the determination to fight against the strangers.

The army was advancing in a straight line, and the battle was just around the corner, so this time the soldiers were more energetic, and all kinds of combat equipment were transported to the front. Mance didn't know much about these things, and after listening to Li Lingyi's explanation, he suddenly felt deeply frightened.

After all, the savages have not even solved the most basic problem of eating, let alone improving productivity, and without increasing productivity, such a precision machine will never be thought of making. So in the end, it was very simple for the former inland kingdom to deal with the wildlings, but it was just that it was too troublesome to toss.

If you can send some night watchmen to defend it, then why send a large army to crusade, it is troublesome and the cost is not proportional to the profit, even if you rob all these savage villages, I am afraid that it is not enough to have the money of a small nobleman's family.

Therefore, no king is willing to do this kind of thankless work, so the savages can grow stronger and stronger, but because of the constraints of the environment, there are also limits, otherwise it would have developed into another free city-state over the years.

Now the army marched all the way, and in less than three days, it finally reached the edge of the frozen lake shown on the map.

Looking down at the glacial lake, you can only see a chaotic combination of dark blue and black, and in this extremely cold weather, the lake has long been ice, so hard that it is much harder than the ordinary land in the interior. Something like a kid running around on it will break the ice and fall into a hole - it never happens here.

Not to mention children, even if a group of adults, even if the army of tens of thousands of people behind Li Lingyi all stood up, I am afraid that it would not cause any damage to the ice that was several meters thick, and at most a few small cracks would come out.

And now all the army has to do is to cross the lake, to the opposite hill, and then ......

Before Li Lingyi's order was given, he heard a commotion in the army, and when he looked up, he saw a large number of ragged ghouls coming out of the hill on the opposite side of the ice lake, lined up in a row, looking at the people on the other side of the ice lake.

"These guys are ghouls......"

"It looks scary!"

"They're all dead people anyway, so it would be nice to kill them again. ”

"That's right!"

The soldiers discussed, mostly optimistic, because Li Lingyi had given an unknown number of speeches before, explaining the nature of these ghouls and that they were not invincible. So subtly, the soldiers didn't feel too terrible to see it with their own eyes. But if you are not afraid, you are not afraid, but the impact on your heart is still not small, after all, no one has ever seen the skeletons stand up before.

"There seem to be more of these guys. Mance looked across and frowned, "There must be three or four thousand, right? ”

Li Ling looked at it, listened with his ears, and thought in his heart, but his eyes did not fall on the ghoul, but on the strange ghost that came out slowly.

Undoubtedly, the Wraiths are the origin of everything, and only they possess a certain level of intelligence and can transform new ghouls. As long as they are killed, no matter how many ghouls there are, there will be no need to be afraid, sooner or later they will be killed. But if the ghost doesn't die for a day, the ghoul will naturally be endless.

The difference between a stranger and a ghoul can be seen at a glance.

The former's demeanor, eyes, and movements obviously reveal that he is wise. Most of the ghouls are skeletons, and some of them have human skin, but their eyes are hollow and godless, and they don't have any wisdom at first glance.

And at this time, Li Ling counted the strange ghosts that came out, and there were ten of them! This is a lot more than what appeared in the play, and the one standing before them was the leader of the strange ghosts, the Night King!

If the wisdom of ordinary strangers can be described as "okay", then the Night King can at least be called a "wise man". With a resolute, frosty countenance and dark blue eyes as cold as a blade, its intelligence allows it to see the big picture and make clear and correct judgments.

Dealing with it, to be honest, Li Lingyi was also very nervous, because the latter was not a human after all, this kind of magical creature, who knows if it would have any special skills. If you use some magic that you haven't used in the show, what are you going to do with it?

These are all problems, but there is nothing that can be done, and it is impossible to know all about the enemy in war. The Night King was the same in this regard, although he was smart, it was impossible for him to know the combat equipment prepared by Li Lingyi.

Looking at each other across the ice lake, Li Lingyi could feel the Night King's gaze wandering between the two, one was himself, and the other was Snow.

Obviously, he could sense who the two most important of the enemy were, and as long as he dealt with them, the battle would be won. As for this army of tens of thousands, it seems that it is just a large army of ghouls for him.

"Throwing troops ready. ”

As soon as Li Ling spoke, he took out the Poseidon spear on his back with his backhand, and at this time, the spear became much thicker and heavier than before, and the outer layer also became pure black. It wasn't for any other reason, but he deliberately wrapped the entire body of the spear along with the tip of the spear with dragon crystal, that is, obsidian.

Only weapons of this material will work against ghouls and ghosts. So even though his Poseidon himself is a high-level weapon, he also gets such an extra layer of obsidian for insurance. And this is done for nothing else, but to prepare for close hand-to-hand combat.

He had a hunch that flames alone would never wipe out these things, at least not those strange spirits. And in this case, only you have to make a move.

"Lord Crane, I'll go and get ready. Snow whispered, Li Lingyi understood what he meant, and nodded, "Well, remember, the cage will be released at the critical moment." ”

"Yes!"

Snow hurried to the rear of the army, came to the large transport box, and waited quietly. Next to him was his aunt Daenerys, and the two of them looked at each other, and they could see the tension in each other's eyes.

At this moment, the Night King on the opposite side raised his hand, and the army of ghouls suddenly began to step onto the ice lake, rushing towards this side. Their expressions are hideous, with only the most primitive desire to kill, accompanied by crazy meaningless cries.

“Sxih——!”

Thundered!

At this time, with Li Lingyi's order, the soldiers in the forefront also pushed out the catapult one after another, which was an improved version, with wooden wheels installed below to facilitate movement, and the throwing tray was also larger, and the weight of a performance throw was also increased.

"Ready to throw!"

Click!

Sealed boxes were opened, and bottles of green liquid wrapped in soft hay were carefully removed and placed on pallets of twenty catapults.

"This is?!" Mance was a little surprised, and Li Lingyi had already waved his spear, "Put!"

"Brush Brush ——!"
