Chapter 1185: Gooding Strikes
Gooding didn't hear Ed's words clearly, but when he saw Jon walking towards the Bachelor's Tower, Gooding immediately knew that the other party should want to take him away.
Before Jon could get close to the Tower, Gooding leapt from the other side of the tower, spread his arms, and glided nearly a kilometer away, landing on a roof.
Since the other people's view was blocked by the tower, no one saw Guding's astonishing movements.
Jon was just starting to climb the tower when Gooding jumped off the roof and ducked into an alley.
When Jon climbed to the top of the tower, he didn't see a figure at all, and the expression on his face was visibly stunned.
The top floor of the Bachelor's Tower, except for the surrounding wall about half a meter high, has no shelter, it is a flat land of about ten square meters, and there are not even potted flowers and plants.
The only way to climb to the top of the tower is a ladder outside the tower. It is impossible to reach the top of the tower from the inside of the tower, and similarly, from the top of the tower, it is impossible to enter the inside of the tower. The people at the top of the tower want to leave, and there is only one way, the ladder, and there is no second option.
The location of the ladder was on the side of the main entrance, and Jon walked from the direction of the main entrance. If someone came down the ladder, he would be able to see it clearly from the side, and although it was getting a little dark now, Jon was confident that his eyes would not go wrong.
But after coming up, there was no one at all, that's a fact.
This surprised Jon, who even wondered if the child he had seen before was a hallucination, but immediately dismissed the suspicion. Because not only did he see it, but his father and others saw it, and even the strange spirits outside the city saw the existence of the child.
He walked around the low wall at the top of the tower, looking down, but still found nothing.
In desperation, he had to climb down from the top of the tower, returned to the city wall, and told his father about it.
"Is it a magician?" After listening to Jon, Lord Ed gave this speculation for the first time, "It should be unlikely, it is impossible for a magician to be so young, that child looks younger than Bran, it is estimated that he is only five or six years old." Forget it, leave him alone, he should be safe. ”
Ed once again put his whole body and mind back on the war in front of him.
Although there are catapults, after all, the frequency of attacks with such large weapons is not fast, those who are not affected by catapults, and those who are affected, but do not die, are running wildly, getting closer and closer to the city wall.
"Archer!" Ed burst into a loud shout, "Ready...... Shoot the arrows! ”
More than three hundred archers lit their arrows and shot at the ghouls beneath the walls.
All the ghouls that were shot burned up when they caught fire and turned into ashes.
The archers' attacks eased the offensive slightly.
But suddenly, an ice crystal spear shot up from below, piercing an archer directly, and the spear with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters pierced the archer's chest cavity, leaving a fist-sized gap on his body, and blood splattered all over the ground.
Immediately after that, the second root, the third root...... Spears of ice crystals tingle slightly icy blue were hurled from below. Although these spears are not aimed at any target at all, they are thrown casually. But there were a lot of people involved in the throw, there were thousands of ghouls, and the ghouls were so powerful that as long as they were hit, there was only one way to die.
Of the more than three hundred archers, there were soon only a hundred left, not even half.
Winterfell's offensive was severely curtailed.
"Let the brother with good arm strength go on top, don't worry about the head." Lord Ed made a decision immediately.
Subsequently, the adjutant passed the order on, and quite a few ordinary soldiers joined the ranks of the archers.
In this way, the number of archers was even greater than before, more than 500 people.
Although most of the soldiers are not accurate, the ghouls are numerous and densely distributed, and it is difficult to miss them.
The battle is back in balance again.
As ordinary soldiers continue to fill the void of archers, the number of ghouls throwing ice spears is decreasing.
But the large army of ghouls has been compressing the distance between the two sides, and they are getting closer and closer to Winterfell.
Gooding returned to the top of the Bachelor's Tower, secretly observing the battle.
This time, no one spotted him again, because everyone's attention was on the battlefield.
After watching the battle, Gooding's eyes fell on Lord Eddard. He knows very well that Ed is just an ordinary person, and his fighting skills may be stronger than ordinary people, but after all, he is not beyond the scope of ordinary people.
But it was such an ordinary person who gave Guding a little respect, and he finally understood why the people of the Northern Kingdom respected their lord so much.
Even in this absolute contrarian situation, Ed still did not show the slightest fear. He has always been as calm as if he was in the next game of chess, without thinking about what the outcome will be after losing the chess.
Keep your eyes back on the battlefield.
Although the vacancy of archers was filled, many of the ghouls broke through the area covered by the rain of arrows and reached the bottom of the walls, where some began to ram the gates, while others began to climb the walls.
You must know that the Great Wall of Desperation, which is more than 200 meters high, has been climbed by them, and there is only a wall less than 20 meters high in front of them, so it is easy for them to climb.
"Brothers on the other side of the city gate!"
"Brethren on the wall, prepare the oil for fire!"
Ed gave another order, and the soldiers carried buckets of oil and poured them down on the edge of the wall.
The oil-stained walls were slippery, and the ghouls could no longer climb smoothly.
More and more ghouls gathered under the walls, but none of them climbed the walls because of the fire oil.
The leader of the strange ghosts who had discovered Guding before seemed impatient when he saw such a scene, and his lips began to move, and strange notes came out of it.
His voice, like the ghost whispers coming from the endless netherworld, did not even shy away from Ed and the humans in the slightest.
When his voice fell, the ghouls rioted again, and they all rushed towards the city gate.
Ed and the others' faces suddenly changed drastically, once the city gate was breached, their group would really be finished.
At that moment, Guding's figure leaped from the top of the tower, spread its arms, like a flying beast, and glided towards the city walls.
His actions quickly attracted the attention of several strangers.
And Ed and the others finally saw Gooding, who showed his ability to fly in the sky.
He ...... It's really a magician...... "Rao is Ed, who has always been amazingly determined, is a little sluggish. (To be continued.) )
