Chapter 160: The City Breaks
Chapter 160
Inside Winterfell, a crimson sword aura rose into the sky. Mixed with it was a distorted, dark blue-black mist. The fire attribute true qi of the Rose Wave has an obvious restraint effect on this energy. The two energies were entangled in mid-air for a long time, and in the end, it was Lu Qiming who was superior.
The crimson sword qi broke through the entire blue-black energy, splitting the entire wizard's body in half. At the same time, the flames spread, reducing its remains to ashes.
Solving the male witch, Lu Qiming did not show a relaxed look. He'd just learned some clues about the world from the possessed unknown guy. He had a vague feeling that it might be a huge hidden mission, but he didn't know if he should touch it or not.
In the distance, Liu Qing finally arrived, and she used her glider to fly directly over. When I saw Lu Qiming, I told him.
"Daenerys' army is coming soon. Also, what was going on with that dragon just now, I saw that it seemed to be Viserion. ”
"It was the wizards who resurrected the dragon and brought it to the Night King."
"......What's going on?"
"It's about the guy behind the wizards. It could be some old god. There are only two gods in the world who can walk on earth, one is the Night King. One is the Green Prophet. The rest of the Lord of Light is the closest to the human world, but it can only indirectly affect some of the human world. It can't really come.
And from the very beginning, the Lord of Light has pressed the treasure on humans. He chose many people in the human world in order to guide the course of this war, defeat the Night King and bring victory to humanity. I thought this guy might be a righteous god or something. Although in the original book, some of his actions are problematic. But in righteousness, it is still on the side of human beings.
But just now I got some new news. I must say that all these gods are more or less the same. Don't think too much of them. ”
"You're saying the Lord of Light has something else in mind?"
"All the gods who can interfere with the human world have the same idea. There is a limit to the number of gods that this world can accommodate. At least for now. Perhaps a long time ago, it was able to accommodate all the gods. But since the magic disappeared, the world's energy levels have rapidly decreased.
This has led to almost all the gods being forced to hide in some kind of special place. It could be some kind of different space, a small world, or a space gap or something. But among them, two remained. One is the Green Prophet and the other is the Cold God. This is also the limit of what this world can accommodate when it is at a low energy trough. Can only accommodate two gods.
Those of us who have read the original book vaguely know. The Night King is a war machine made by the Children of the Forest. Later, after becoming independent, it took a long time to have the name of the cold god. It is estimated that he is the real god of cold, and with the help of the body of the Night King, he has been stranded in the world. As for the Green Prophet, he lived on the only tree with magical attributes, such as the Yuliang Tree, and was able to stay in the world. ”
"And then? What does this have to do with the current war? ”
"That's the key. The return of the dragon heralds the return of magic. The world is in a state of transition. The time that could carry countless gods from countless years ago is coming. All the gods are planning for themselves, and they all want to be the first to return to this world. I don't know what special secrets are there. But this first-mover advantage alone is enough to cause disputes.
And in front of these gods, there are two huge obstacles. One is the Green Prophet and the other is the Cold God. After all, these two are the ones who really occupy the initiative. Therefore, the guy before chose to join forces with the Cold God and wanted to kill the Green Prophet first. Allow yourself to be the first to come. However, the guy understands that he can't put all his fears in the same basket, so he keeps a hand of his own. This could be the key to getting us through this task. ”
…………………
Outside the city, the fighting continues. Without Lu Qiming's protection, he finally killed three strange ghosts on the city wall at a terrible price. But at this time, the defense line on the city wall had been destroyed at a distance of tens of meters.
By this time, countless ghouls had grown up and started hand-to-hand combat with the guards on the city walls. Someone fell every second, and the corpses on the ground were even layered so that people couldn't get off their feet. More and more ghouls rushed up, and the defenses of the entire wall were on the verge of collapse. At this time, Liu Qing also rushed to the city wall.
A dragon crystal sword shattered in her hand and weighed hundreds of pieces. As her hands were raised, countless dragon crystal fragments scattered out in a half-moon shape. Hundreds of soldiers tangled with the ghouls. But the shards acted as if they were autopiloting, killing every draugr standing on the city walls with precision.
In a matter of moments, more than half of the ghouls attacked the walls. The soldiers on the entire city wall were even stunned for a moment, but they reacted quickly. Begin to reorganize the line of defense. And Liu Qing's hands did not stop, and it was another rain of spray, repelling the ghouls who had climbed to the edge of the city wall again. In just two strokes, the crisis on the city walls was relieved.
That's why Lu Qiming must let Liu Qing come back quickly. In this kind of defensive battle, Liu Qing's ability is simply a weapon to clear the field. Dealing with these ghouls who don't have much intelligence, she is purely used to score points. The key is that she can also suppress the dragons in the sky, which can be described as the most critical task in normal defensive battles.
The only downside is that. The sky was covered with wind and snow. With no moon in sight, the silver moon in her hand could not be used to its fullest potential.
This is, there was a commotion of the strange spirits under the city. The intensity of the attack suddenly slowed down a lot. A large number of ghouls split a passage, and at the end of them, the Night King finally took the initiative to appear.
It seems that the Night King has always been in contact with that unknown guy. It didn't show up before, it was just a dragon waiting for the other party's support. Now, it thinks its reinforcements have arrived. Unfortunately, Lu Qiming also thinks the same.
The Night King removed his long knife from his back. It's the one that split the Green Prophet in the original book. Looks like he's going to want to take it himself this time. Liu Qing raised the bow in his hand and was about to send an arrow, but Lu Qiming stopped her.
"You don't do it, keep your energy. Pay attention to the dragon on the other side, as well as the two wizards. Once I fight the Night King, you're the only one who can overpower that dragon. The actors haven't arrived yet, and tonight won't be the curtain call. So, just let this play go down the line of the current script. ”
This time the attack was unprecedented. The human soldiers' side has been exhausted from the battle. Although a large number of ghouls were killed, the opponent was still endless. And the rest of the ghouls did not say that they were tired, and more importantly, this time the Night King himself went to war.
The offensive began again, only this time it was the Night King and the six Strangers who rushed to the front.
"Scorpion crossbow ready." Needless to say, the soldiers on the city wall have already begun to prepare. The only long-range weapon that can hurt Dao Ze's strange ghosts is the scorpion crossbow.
More than thirty dragon crystal crossbow arrows shot out, and two strange ghosts were directly torn to shreds during the charge. But the second round was already too late, and they had already rushed to the city. At this time, Lu Qiming made a move that everyone on the city wall could not understand. He abruptly gave up his home advantage and jumped off the wall to stop him directly in front of the Night King.
With a bang, Lu Qiming's body slammed into the ground. There was a slight ripple in the ground beneath his feet. The Enma Knife in his hand was no longer that dazzling crimson, but a faint earthy yellow.
"When I put my feet on the earth, no one can make me move." For the first time, the power of Tukunlun appeared in this world. He raised his hand, and a simple vertical slash that seemed slow, but was actually powerful to the extreme, slashed out with a simple vertical hand.
The Night King's body suddenly stopped, and a burst of extreme cold erupted from his body. The long knife in his hand slashed sideways, colliding with Lu Qiming's long knife. Lu Qiming only felt a huge force along the long knife and back into his body. And with that came a dilapidated chill.
But once again, the ground beneath his feet felt that slight ripple. Compared to this vast land, even the power of the Night King is too small. Lu Qiming directly passed through the earth and dispersed the power of the Night King. This caused the bodies of the countless ghouls around them who wanted to rush up suddenly collapse. It was like an invisible ripple sweeping the surroundings, and the distance of tens of meters around the two of them was directly cleared.
The weapons of the two were separated, but Lu Qiming did not retreat, but directly pressed forward. There was a bang, and there was a heavy footstep sound under his feet. His current inverted moves are completely polar from the kind of fast attack he used before. Every move and every style is powerful and heavy.
The heavy crash made even the soldiers on the city walls feel dizzy. The normal battle is far less gorgeous than the previous Mei Xia Dang, and the sword is full of energy. That's because Lu Qiming locked all his power into the Enma Knife. The power is contained but not released, and only at the moment of contact, it will vaguely collide with the power of the Night King.
There was a certain look of surprise evident in the Night King's eyes. Apparently he couldn't understand why a human being could be so powerful. And Lu Qiming doesn't intend to explain this kind of thing. In fact, his whole body is now condensed and not emitted, and he can't open his mouth to vent his anger at all.
Just as the two were fighting, a wave appeared in the group of ghouls not far away. I saw several huge behemoths, rushing out violently. Those were four mammoths. Not your average undead creature though. Their bodies are coated in a dark blue crystal. And judging by the way they looked, they were going directly to the city wall.
On the city wall, Liu Qing bent his bow to build. With the blessing of kinetic energy, a dragon crystal arrow shot at supersonic speed. But there was a crisp ding. The dragon crystals shattered at the same time as those crystals. The four mammoths were unscathed. Obviously, the Night King is not completely helpless with Long Jing. At least it allowed those mammoths to dodge Liu Qing's first round of attacks.
Liu Qing knew that it was not good, and the kinetic energy blessing was turned on to the extreme. At the same time, the Silver Moon Bow also lit up with a silver light. Three arrows in a row, shot down three mammoths. But the last one still hit the wall.
The mammoth, which had been strengthened by the Night King in some way, slammed into the fortified walls with extraordinary force. There was a violent tremor throughout the city walls. And the result was even more surprising, it actually knocked down a gap in the walls of Winterfell that had stood for thousands of years. Although the price is that it is also a doppelganger. However, it is also an indisputable fact that the wall collapsed to a full five meters in pieces.
A dozen or so wraiths hiding in the horde of ghouls threw away their cloaks. The first one rushed to the gap. And the city is also in a panic. Fortunately, a dozen reserve scorpion crossbows were already ready. In the rehearsal, there was an expectation that the walls would be destroyed, so there was a certain amount of preparation. I just didn't expect it to be so simple and crude.
Liu Qing directly turned around and jumped off the city wall, and the dragon crystal fragments in his hand turned into hundreds of deadly hidden weapons, blocking the entire gap. At the same time, the scorpion crossbow also shot out huge crossbow arrows, each arrow capable of taking the lives of dozens of ghouls.
But those ghosts can't be killed so easily. They move quickly, throwing their ice spears as they go. These spears comparable to large-caliber sniper rifles, even Liu Qing did not dare to meet them head-on. She used her bow and arrow to hit most of the ice crystal spears with precision, distorting their flight paths. But three of them still crossed her defenses.
Three spears destroyed three scorpion crossbows, while also taking the lives of at least five soldiers. But this is not the main thing. Just as Liu Qing left the city wall, the roar of a giant dragon had already appeared in the sky. Without Liu Qing's deterrence, the corpse dragon appeared at one time.
Lu Qiming knew that something was wrong. Although he has a backhand, everything must be built to be able to block this wave of attacks. And Daenerys' other two dragons will be able to operate only after they arrive. If this wave can't survive, it will be gg directly. More than half of the soldiers of the entire Seven Kingdoms have been concentrated here by him. If you lose this battle, you basically don't have to play later.
Inside Winterfell, some of the previously enclosed houses were suddenly opened. A group of heavily armored warriors, dressed in heavy armor and taller than the people of the North, rushed out. They were barbarian warriors recruited by Lu Qiming. The elite of these samurai, their combat power can be said to be the top in the entire Seven Kingdoms.
The key is that once this group of guys starts fighting, they are not afraid of death. There is almost no concept of the general army, where the momentum is suppressed. Once on the battlefield, win or die. This is also the reason why Lu Qiming chose to let them guard the inner city.
Once it is defeated, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be greatly damaged. It is even possible that the army will be defeated. Only this strange barbarian warrior can be unaffected. It's just that there are too few of these samurai. And because of the figure, there are not enough suitable heavy armor for them to configure, and in the end, only about 1,000 people can take it out. They are the last line of defense in the inner city.
