Chapter 158

Undead dragons, monsters that appear in all fantasy stories. It's just that what Lu Qiming didn't expect was that no matter how hard he tried, he would mess up the plot. The undead dragon still appeared. It does not appear in the hands of the Night King, but it does appear in the hands of the wizard who was forgotten by the screenwriter in the original book.

Suddenly, there was a violent tremor in the royal palace of Meereen. Before everyone could react, the entire earth suddenly cracked, and then a dark blue flame rose into the sky. Tearing the entire Meereen Palace in half.

A dragon with a somewhat rotten body rose into the sky. It's just that it didn't pay attention to the people of Meereen City, but quickly flew away from Meereen and flew towards the sea.

………………..

Winterfell, the battle has been going on for two days and two nights. It is not known how many people died in the battle. Because no one has time to count such things. It is not known how many ghouls were killed, as the number of ghouls out there never seemed to decrease.

Even the strange ghosts who died under Lu Qiming's sword have exceeded ten. But the situation has not changed in the slightest. This filled the whole of Winterfell with a dull and tired atmosphere.

Just as Lu Qiming estimated before, Daenerys's dragon is the key to this war. Even though he is considered an existence of ten thousand enemies in this world, he sees a dense army of ghouls like ants below. Lu Qiming had no intention of rushing in and cutting the Night King.

"The soldiers are running out of steam. It's not just a matter of physical fitness, their mentality can't bear it. We're not the ghouls who can't fight as expressionlessly as they do. ”

Commanders in many places have begun to react, and their soldiers have begun to show a state of struggle. Even the formation was not broken at all. But the soldiers' reactions have begun to be sluggish. In two days and two nights, most of Winterfell's soldiers had already rotated. However, instead of adapting to this rhythm, they began to fear going up the walls. The Warlords have killed hundreds of battle-feared soldiers, but the pessimism is still spreading.

"Wildfires with a cardinal base." Lu Qiming gave this order after several considerations. There are many wildfires, but there are still not enough for this war. The original plan was to hold on for at least four days before using the first round of wildfire. However, the reality is that it will be forced to be used on the third day.

A simple trebuchet was quickly assembled, after which dozens of barrels of wildfire were thrown off the city walls. Remember, more than a dozen archers shot rockets in their hands at the same time. Green flames rose into the sky, accompanied by a violent explosion, turning the entire outside of Winterfell's walls into a sea of green fire.

The wildfires burned violently, and finally drove back the tide of ghouls. This gave the battlefield a brief lull. Countless ghouls stood quietly on the periphery of the wildfire, motionless looking at the city in front of them.

"Everyone hurry up and rest and eat. All damaged weapons were replaced immediately. All the wounded were immediately treated. Hold on to the team for more than four hours and now start rotating. ”

The fighting stopped for the time being, but the walls were still busy. And the city is not light at all. Countless guys are desperately boiling porridge. Time reasons, simply can't make real food. Everything is boiled in one pot. Rice, meat, vegetables, all minced, thrown into the drum to cook into a pot of thick porridge. Then the soldiers in rotation have a bowl each, eat it quickly, and change to the next round.

Countless blacksmiths are wielding sledgehammers for their lives. Constantly repairing the armor and weapons sent from above. Many dragon crystal weapons even require some special skills to be repaired, which is very troublesome.

On every street, on every corner, there were piles of soldiers leaning together, dozing off. There could not be enough places for every soldier to lie down and sleep. In fact, almost all of the houses have been converted into blacksmith houses or kitchens, and there are a large number of women sewing some cotton clothes in some of the houses. With the arrival of the Night King, the weather in Winterfell is visibly starting to cool down.

Although in battle, the soldiers did not feel the cold. But once they stopped, they were soaked in sweat, and it was easy for them to fall asleep in the cold wind.

The cold winds in Winterfell are getting stronger. Along with the falling snowflakes, a blizzard came. Everyone knows that this Night King can't get out of it, but even Lu Qiming can't do anything. No matter how strong his true qi is, he has not yet reached the point of breaking the sky with a sword, and he has no way to deal with the blizzard in the sky.

And he could feel that the wind and snow brought not only cold, but also some kind of vague death power hidden in it. The torches on the walls of the city even began to fail to ignite. You can't do it even with oil. The soldiers had to use wildfire to make improvised torches.

"It was too cold for the soldiers to hold out for long. If we don't need them to attack like this, we'll collapse first. Wait until the wildfires under the city are extinguished, and the temperature drops rapidly. We may not be able to stop the next wave of offensives. ”

Several of the generals who led the troops found out about the problem. But there is no doubt that this is an unsolvable problem. The Night King, also known as the God of Cold in this world. It is most normal to use this cold power. No matter how weak a god is, after all, it is not something that some ordinary soldiers can contend with.

Lu Qiming couldn't do anything about it, but he thought for a while, turned around and walked towards the back camp.

The so-called back camp refers to the hall of the Stark family's castle. It is the only interior building that has not been expropriated. A large number of the daughters of the leaders of the army, including Sasanian, Celine, Bear Girl, and others, gathered here. There's also a very special character among them, Melisandre.

The other party seemed to know the purpose of his coming, and was already standing at the door waiting for Lu Qiming.

"We need help."

"I know that the power of the cold god has enveloped the city. Every life is being eroded. ”

"Now that we know, I think we need the power of the Lord of Light. It's the god of fire, and I don't ask it to come out and kill the god of cold, at least help us keep the blizzard at bay. ”

"I am only a servant of the Lord of Light, and I cannot command the Lord of Light."

"Then go and ask for it. If he doesn't want this world to be enveloped by the power of the cold god, let's contribute a little bit of his own strength. This is not just a war for humanity. ”

From a divine point of view, the Night King undoubtedly has the divinity of the two realms of ice and death. And the Lord of Light is fire and light. The two gods are undoubtedly-for-tat. And the rest are like the Green Prophet, the Drowning God and the like are even weaker gods.

The god of a thousand faces worshipped in the black and white hall is somewhat mysterious. According to the Faceless One, all the gods are a face of the God of a Thousand Faces. Of course, this statement is basically certain that their own believers put gold on their gods. Lu Qiming estimated that the guy might be assassinated by four, or a god like disguise. The wizard of the Hall of Immortality may also have a powerful deity behind him. But there is no doubt that there are only two people who can walk directly in the human world, one is the Night King, and the other is the Green Prophet.

This alone shows that these two gods have certain particularities. And the Night King will do whatever it takes to kill the Green Prophet. There may also be such considerations. There are two walking gods in the world, and they will naturally check each other. And when there is only one left, there may be some kind of qualitative change.

Melisandre pondered for a moment, then said.

"I see, I need an ashram."

"Arrange it for her." Melisandre turned and left, while Lu Qiming returned to the city wall at one time. In the army of ghouls, there are still many strange ghosts mixed in. Once he was away for a long time, he was noticed by the stranger. The line of defense will be torn apart in an instant. After all, the human soldiers basically had no power to fight back against that thing.

Word came from several savage psychics.

"We've seen some blurry images, and due to the wind and snow, it's no longer possible to monitor the ghoul legions' every move as before. But not long ago, we vaguely saw a large number of ghouls breaking away from the large army and heading to one side. ”

"Understood, send a signal to the mountain."

On the hillsides surrounding Winterfell, a hidden line of defense had already been built. There weren't many of them, but there were barrels stacked in front of them. Some miserable green liquid, oozing out of the barrel. There are plenty of wildfires piled up here. At the same time, these hillsides are also filled with a large amount of discarded wood. These measures are designed to prevent the ghoul legions from turning around from the flanks.

At this time, a blizzard hits. The soldiers on the mountain endured even more severe trials of wind and snow. But no one backed back. These soldiers seem to be much stronger than the other soldiers. The reason is simple, they are night watchmen. Or rather, a large part of them were the Night's Watch who had been evacuated from the Desperate Wall.

A team of Night's Watchmen, led by Melancholy Add, and a group of soldiers from the North, are in charge of the flanked mountain. At this time, these night watchmen, as well as soldiers, were urgently mobilized. Because they have seen the ghouls swarming down the mountain.

The only good news is that the Night King's power has not yet reached the point where it will render wildfire ineffective. Therefore, the means reserved in advance on the mountain are still useful. Barrel after barrel of wildfires were made and lined up on the top of the mountain. Some improvised trebuchets were also prepared.

"Steady. We don't have much reserve wildfire, we have to do as much damage as possible. Wait for them to get closer. ”

A quarter of an hour later.

"It's less than a hundred meters."

"I saw it, keep waiting. When it is within 50 meters, it is being put into place. ”

"But in that case, there will inevitably be ghouls who will break through the flame defenses. We can't keep the wildfire within 50 meters, that would have burned us too. ”

"That's the only way to get the most out of those things. As for the ghouls who break through the flames, it's up to us with the weapons in our hands. Didn't they give you the Dragon Crystal weapon? Winterfell is the main battleground. The Night King will not give up the hundreds of thousands of creatures in the city. To him, it was all soldiers. We must protect the flanks of Winterfell so that our brothers can continue to kill these monsters. Okay, almost, everyone pay attention. The catapult prepares, and the archers ignite the rocket. ”

However, it was only then that they discovered the key problem, they could not light the torches, let alone the rockets.

"What's going on? Can't light the fire? ”

"There's something weird about these snowstorms."

"Don't panic, wildfires are very easy to ignite. As long as the cremation caused by the collision of swords can easily ignite them. The catapult was launched immediately. ”

Dozens of barrels were dropped onto the hillside. And these casks are characteristic. The moment it hit the ground, it completely shattered. A large amount of green liquid splashed and spread all over the hillside. It blends in with the large amount of combustibles on the hillside. Wildfires in normal conditions have spontaneously combusted under this impact. But under the influence of a blizzard, these wildfires could not burn at all.

The crowd on the top of the hill witnessed this scene with their own eyes. Although they had already said goodbye in their hearts, they still wanted to be lucky. Until the last barrel bursts, but no flames appear. Everyone was silent.

"Brother of the Night's Watch, come with us. Others stayed behind. ”

Add was the first to pull out his sword. With a steel sword in one hand and a dragon crystal sword in the other, he rushed towards the ghoul without hesitation. Dragon crystal is a type of quartz that can easily burst out of sparks when metal collides. It's just that the location of the wildfire has been covered by ghouls. If you want to light a wildfire, you have to run through these ghouls. And Add also sees a real wraith among the ghouls.

"Everyone, cover me."

Hundreds of Night's Watch surrounded Eddie, forming a sharp formation and forcing their way towards the ghoul legion. Countless ghouls swarmed. As soon as the two sides collided, countless ghouls fell, and at the same time, nearly ten night watchmen fell.

There is a distance of less than thirty meters. But for every meter forward, three to five people died at the bite of the ghouls. Those screams filled the ears of every night watchman.

With the last ten meters remaining, Eddie was less than half of the people around him. At this moment, a violent impact caused the four night watchmen at the front to fly out at the same time. The stranger struck. With just one blow, the advance of the team was completely blocked.

Before Add could make a move, a night watchman next to him rushed straight over. In less than a second, he fell under the opponent's ice crystal spear. But at the same time, the other four Night's Watch also surrounded the stranger in the middle.

No one spoke, no one shouted. Because there is simply no time and strength. Everyone was silent, charging forward with all their might. Finally, Add sees the wildfire beneath his feet. At this time, the strange ghost also began to get anxious. It didn't know what Eddie was trying to do, but it was pretty sure it couldn't let Eddie do it.

By this time, more than twenty Night's Watch had fallen around it. There were less than ten people left with Eddie. The stranger turned around and threw his spear. Add heard the wind behind him. But he didn't look back, he knew that the people around him would stand in his way for him.

He just raised the two swords in his hand as hard as he could, and then collided hard. When the dazzling sparks flew, Add could even feel a sense of horror in the stranger behind him.

"Hehe......"

The long night is coming, and I will keep watch from now on until I die. I will not take a wife, nor a fief, nor have children. I will not wear a crown, and I will not compete for honor. I will do my duty and die in my life. I am the sword in the darkness, the guard of the Great Wall, the flame against the cold, the light at dawn, the trumpet that awakens the sleeper, the shield that guards the kingdom. I give my life and glory to the night watch, tonight, night and night.

"We are all sinful, but I know that both the new and the old gods have forgiven us."
