Chapter 133: The Mission Returns

Chapter 133

In the far north, the wind and snow never seem to stop. Jon Snow, who had been with the Night's Watch for some time, was still unable to adapt to the extreme cold and snow. The wind swept across the face like a knife. As long as he opened his mouth, the sharp air current, as if it was about to cut his throat, brought him severe pain.

"Don't breathe through your mouth. No matter what, breathe through your nostrils as much as possible. That will protect your throat and internal organs. According to our priests. These blizzards carry the magic of the Night King. can do us more damage. Raven, there's still a lot to learn. ”

It was the bearded savage who spoke. It seems to be called Tormond. He is also the one who has the best attitude towards Jon among the many savages.

"Thank you." Jon followed the other man's instructions, closing his mouth tightly and breathing through his nostrils as much as he could. It's not simple. Because the blood is too thick, each step will consume a lot of strength. So the person's breathing will soon become disordered and they want to breathe through their mouth. That's a little more straightforward. But Jon got used to it quickly, and after a while, he was able to be like the wild men. I satisfied most of the breaths with my nostrils.

"Congratulations Raven, you've just passed the first test north of the Great Wall. But don't be too happy, there will be more tests to come. ”

It's been almost a day since the team left the Great Wall. At present, they have completely left the realm of the Great Wall. In just one day, they were attacked by three ice wolves and one by ice bears. However, all the people who came were elite savage warriors, and there were no casualties.

But at such a close distance to the Great Wall, such large beasts had already appeared in succession, which meant that the assembly of the undead legions might not be far from them. As the team goes deeper and deeper, the figure of the animal begins to stunt. The creatures of the icefields are smart, and they smell death in the north.

At dusk on the third day, a message came from the outpost. Everyone began to be on alert.

Jon couldn't read the wildling's code. Tomund explained to him.

"They found a small team of undead. It's just a kilometer ahead of us on the left. All ready. ”

Jon had always felt that he was a good fighter. But when marching at full speed in the snow, he still felt the gap. He was not afraid of any of these savages. But when it comes to marching in the snow, he's still far behind.

In the group of savages, a tall, thin man suddenly stood still. At the same time, his eyes were white, and the whole stalemate was on the ground. The other savages seemed to be surprised, and quickly came up to protect him.

"What is he doing?"

"Void...... Don't make a sound. He was looking at his surroundings from the perspective of an eagle. ”

After a few moments, the other person opened his eyes.

"Wait a minute, I'll find out again. Fifteen hundred meters in front of them was a group of undead legions. If we do something to the previous pair, it may alarm them. ”

"There are only twenty or so in the pile on the left front. This is a great opportunity. We could easily defeat them without casualties and get some alive. If you miss this opportunity, the further north you go, the bigger those teams will be. There may not be such a good opportunity then. Opinions were divided, but they eventually turned their gaze to Jon Snow.

"What do you think, Raven?" The words were asked by Tormond. This also caused the eyes of the sixty surrounding wildlings to focus on Jon Snow's face.

"I think we need to do it quickly. The distance of five hundred meters is not too long, nor is it too short. If only we were fast enough. Attacking from all angles, the more than twenty were quickly defeated in a short period of time. There is every chance that when the other party does not react, complete the task and retreat. If you're not at ease, I can be at the forefront. ”

"No, you stay behind. Our land and food depend on you. We don't know anyone else, only you. If we cross the Great Wall, we will not see the promised land and grain. We'll settle accounts with you. So stay back and wait. We've been dealing with things a lot more than you. ”

The wildling's movements were very fast, and within a few minutes, they had already approached the undead army of more than twenty people. At the same time, the archers among them shot the draugr at the front with a single arrow. The obsidian arrows took the lives of the other party in an instant. And this caused the entire ghoul team to be stunned, and then chaos.

Go out and let them see, and lure them over.

Several wild men immediately came out of the ambush and shouted softly. This made the ghoul on the other side instantly refresh. With an unexpected agility, they rushed towards several wildlings.

"Archers, the fastest ones. In addition to the fishing nets are ready, behind the slow-moving four is just our goal. ”

The Savage Legion was aided by the Night's Watch and Celine's army. All kinds of obsidian bows and arrows, axes, and barbed wire are readily available. All for this mission.

The archers among the savages all rely on their talent to eat. They don't have the conditions of a night watchman's training. Bows and arrows are invaluable. Only the most talented archers will be able to take on this class. So almost every savage archer is a marksman. The twelve archers fired in quick succession, and at a distance of less than fifty meters, they instantly eliminated all the ghouls in front, leaving only the four behind them with mutilated limbs and slower movements.

"Up, up, up, ......"

Dozens of wildlings rushed out from all directions, rushing towards the last four ghouls. Fishing nets in groups of four, as well as teams armed with ordinary spears and swords, work together.

"Spear...... Watch out for tripping over them. Knife and axe hands, cut off their legs. Try to keep your hands open to make it more convincing. "Although it was the first time they had done such a thing, these savages were very skilled in cooperating with each other. There were almost no mistakes in the whole process. Successfully tied the four ghouls with broken legs in a fishing net.

"Boxes, boxes, hurry. It's a powerful thing. ”

Immediately after that, several people ran over carrying four wooden and iron-clad boxes. Several men carried them with spears and stuffed four ghouls into the chest. At this moment, the psychic who had been in charge of the investigation raised the alarm.

"Immediately go back. The ghouls in front noticed it. They're coming this way, and there's a lot of them. At least two hundred. ”

Everyone's wildlings immediately lifted the box and began to run back. At this time, the figure of a ghoul had faintly appeared in the distance.

"There's no way we're going to outrun the ghouls. It's only possible to get out of here if you kill them all. ”

"But we can't kill them all, these things are just going to get more and more. In the jungle to the north, there are hundreds of thousands of them. ”

"I can't care so much, let's run first. As long as we ran back the same way for half a day, we were within the range of the rangers. When the time comes, they can cover our retreat. ”

Jon Snow's idea was pretty good. So far, it's doable. Everyone knows there's a better way, but no one has come up with it yet.

The speed of the team is not slow. But there is a gap between humans and ghouls in a way. Ghouls don't feel tired. And no matter how strong a wild man is, it is impossible to run in the field for hours on end.

"They're getting closer. We had four boxes with us, and we couldn't run that fast. Those things don't know tiredness. ”

"In holding on a bit, there's a canyon ahead. We're holding back the enemy there. ”

It's a small valley carved like a knife and an axe. On both sides are vertical rocks, with only a passage more than two meters wide in the middle. On either side are two small hills of thirty or forty meters. Or rather, a hillside. But a crack was opened in the middle by geological changes, or other forces.

"Everyone sped up through the valley. Build a defensive line on the other side of the valley. Quickly take out the group of pursuers and move on. ”

The plan was made by Jon Snow. Theoretically, there is no problem. Almost all of the wildlings agreed to the plan in an instant.

But the foundation of the whole plan was based on the other party following into the valley. That way they would only have to face a handful of ghouls at the same time. So as to gain a certain strategic advantage. Normally. No one thinks there's anything wrong with this. Most people assume that ghouls are not intelligent.

It is also true that they have no wisdom. But there is an instinct, an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and to be as good as possible. That is, if they are squeezed into a narrow aisle at the same time. They will automatically cling to the surrounding walls to move quickly. If even the surrounding walls are clogged, they will automatically go around.

The canyon is just too narrow. The canyon, which is only two meters long, was immediately filled with dozens of ghouls. Some ghouls began to try to climb from the surrounding rock walls. But the smooth stone walls made them quickly fall into the canyon. This led the ghouls to make a choice that no one expected.

The ghouls in the back stopped entering the valley directly, and they went straight to the slopes on both sides. In this way, the tactics of defending the canyon prepared at the beginning were completely ineffective.

After flipping through the hill, the opponent will present a fan-shaped offensive. In this case, there is only a head-on engagement.

"We must evacuate immediately."

"Impossible, it's too close. If we evacuate now, we will be dead when we can't run. We have to fight this tough battle. And it has to be won. Everyone formed a circle formation, and there was no other choice. ”

Everyone threw down the swords in their hands one after another and replaced them with dragon crystal weapons. But with the forging process of this world, it is impossible to forge the Dragon Crystal Sword at all. What they used in their hands was sponsored by Lu Qiming before.

The war of ancient cold weapons has never been the kind of grandeur in the movie. The first moment the two sides collided, the sound of collision, screams, swords cutting through flesh and blood, and the sound of bones were mixed together. Flesh and blood are flying, mixed with the fall of life.

Ghouls are not very combative. One-on-one, most well-trained warriors will be able to defeat a ghoul with ease. But these things have no pain and are tireless. When a group of mad dogs charged. That sense of oppression alone can demoralize the human army.

Although there are only about two hundred of them. But when they were not afraid to die, they were holding their rusty weapons, and their hands and feet were rushing in with madness. This team of savage warriors was under great pressure. Casualties were almost instantaneous. In fact, if it weren't for the Dragon Crystal weapon, it would have a one-hit killing effect on ghouls. It doesn't take a minute for the defensive ring to be torn apart. Within three minutes, everyone would be wiped out.

The battle came quickly, and ended quickly enough. It was over in just five minutes or so. But as soon as it ended, almost everyone sat directly on the ground. It's not just about physical exertion. That kind of mental oppression, almost collapses.

Look around, in just five minutes. Eleven wildlings died in the battle. Almost all of the rest were injured. The battle is unavoidable.

"I've fucking killed hundreds of humans. But as soon as I thought that there were hundreds of thousands of such things in the north, I wanted to give myself a knife first. One of the raiders said as he lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

"So we need to get through the Great Wall as soon as possible. They're already very close. We're running out of time. Everyone stood up and hurried to the road. ”

And at this time, the psychic also gave a warning.

"We've got to get going. There is a large army of ghouls coming after us. A distance of about five kilometers. Who wants to wait here. ”

“fuck……”

Everyone could only stand up and run back desperately with the box. Fortunately, as they got closer to the Wall, the ghouls were getting slower and slower. When there are still two days left to go from the Great Wall. The ghouls have stopped attacking completely.

"They stopped. It doesn't look like you're going to chase anymore. Also, we have a Ranger in front of us. ”

"Great. May they have something to eat. "In order to move quickly, the people threw away almost all the supplies. Now almost all of them are hungry and sleepy, and they are cold. A lot of people are on the verge of losing their seats.

………………..

When everyone returns to the Great Wall. The Bachelor, with a group of assistants, began to quickly examine their bodies. Many people don't feel their toes anymore. Some even have numb legs.

Some of their wounds have been necrotic. A few others fell straight down as soon as they entered the Great Wall, and then never got up again.

A lot of people stared at their boxes in order to come up.

"How did it turn out?" Mansred asked nervously.

Jon Snow didn't speak, but turned back and slashed open a chest at the front with a sword. A legless ghoul was roaring wildly inside.
