Chapter 56: The King of Strange Spirits
More and more ghouls gathered, beating in vain against the walls of the shields, but there was nothing the human soldiers behind the towers could do.
Of course, this is not a long-term solution, the ghouls will not die or get tired, and when the soldier's physical strength will eventually be exhausted, when the shield wall is broken, the soldiers behind will be a gluttonous feast for the ghouls.
In this regard, King Sauron's generals already had a plan to deal with it.
"Flame guns - ready!"
At the sound of an order, hundreds of soldiers who had been preparing for a long time took out a strangely shaped spray gun, and the long leather tube behind the spray gun was connected to an oak barrel filled with black crude oil, while a soldier kept shaking the handle of the wooden handle on the side of the barrel to replenish the raw materials.
The crude oil was sent to a special device through a leather tube, and the next moment, hundreds of soldiers ignited at the same time, and in an instant, tongues of fire erupted, forming a series of sinuous fire snakes in the air.
A group of ten soldiers, a hundred soldiers lined up in a row, holding spray guns to form a wall of fire dozens of feet wide and constantly pushing forward, the wall of shields suddenly dispersed, and most of the ghouls couldn't dodge at all, and were sprayed by the raging fire.
The soldiers used their flamethrowers to form a series of flaming snakes, surrounded the ghouls and burned them violently, this creature was extremely flammable, often one was lit and several ghouls were ignited together, the flames spread to the huge army of ghouls in an extremely rapid trend, and countless ghouls were burned to ashes under this continuous flame.
The fire broke out, the ice melted, the temperature rose rapidly, and the sky was dyed red.
"Sure enough, this kind of thing is the most afraid of fire!" The nobles were not happy, and they thought it was a hard-fought battle, but now they had seen the dawn of victory.
"Still, it's an absolute genius to make something like this."
The flamethrower, a weapon that spews flames by burning crude oil, is impossible to do with the current level of technology in Westeros, since King Sauron has been preparing to deal with the ghosts, he is naturally ready for everything, and the flamethrower is a great killing weapon presented by the Advent to deal with the ghosts.
The creation of such an ingenious weapon under the level of technology in the Middle Ages is also due to the fact that the Adventist has abundant real resources, and it is impossible to make it possible.
Now it seems that the results are truly impressive.
Ghouls are creatures of incredible speed and great power, they are immortal and will attack any living creature with cold and ruthless nature. Ghouls do not feel pain, nor do they affect their attack effectiveness due to injuries. Although they can be killed by being completely shattered, they can still move freely as long as their remnants are present.
But ghouls also have a weakness, that is, they are extremely afraid of fire, which is as flammable as oil, and the flames will burn them to ashes in a very short time, and even the most powerful undead power will disappear under the power of the flames.
It was this that the human camp seized on and dealt it a heavy blow. In a short period of time, thousands of ghouls have been reduced to ashes.
As long as humans are given enough time, they can incinerate the army of ghouls and completely solve this threat that has plagued humanity for thousands of years.
Suddenly, a piercing cry sounded like the ice breaking, and a series of figures exuding a piercing and icy aura rushed into the crowd, and the long sword as thin as ice in his hand quickly slashed, killing dozens of soldiers with flamethrowers in an instant.
"Attack! Escort the musketeers! The surrounding soldiers drew their swords to meet them, but they were killed without even seeing the other party's figure, and when they died, not a drop of blood flowed out of the wound, and the extremely low cold instantly froze the blood of the soldiers.
With heavy casualties among the musketeers, the greatest threat of all, the army of ghouls, who had been forced back by the flames, rushed back again to fight with the soldiers.
The attacker turned around and presented a hideous image to the crowd. They were tall, withered, milky-pale, and their eyes were as cold as ice, and their color was bluer and deeper than any human eye. Reflective armor changes color with movement, and the weapon is a longsword made of extremely cold ice crystals, which is extremely sharp and cold.
"Strange ghosts!"
"Damn monsters! Hell is where you should be. β
The knights drew their swords and rushed at the wraiths in the field, who were the commanders of the army of ghouls, and killing them would be half the end of the war.
However, it was not until the actual fight that the knights truly appreciated the power and horror of this monster, its immense strength, its speed, and its superb swordsmanship, not afraid of pain, exuding a piercing chill that could shatter anything that touched it, including the steel longsword in the knight's hand.
The stranger, this creature that has been handed down in ancient texts has only two known weaknesses, obsidian and Valyrian steel. After ruling the Seven Kingdoms, King Sauron gathered all the materials in the country to create a hundred obsidian daggers and ten Vareligang swords, which were effective weapons for killing and injuring strangers, and were held in the hands of the strongest knights.
Even so, the Wraiths are desperately powerful, often taking three to five knights to entangle a Wraith, and if one is not careful, it can be easily killed by the Wraith.
Duty and Honor Trend Knights abandon their fears and charge at the Stranger again and again, vowing to send this terrifying creature to Hell.
The only one present who could hold down the stranger was King Sauron, the "cold ice" in his hand was the most dazzling lightning on the battlefield, and no one could stop him from holding a sword, even if the opponent was a powerful stranger.
In the eyes of the beholder, King Sauron walked the battlefield like a courtyard walk with Valeri's sword in hand, but his speed was faster than the wind, and his strength was heavier than that of the mountains, and the sword tore through the air with a "whine" sound, tearing apart the chests of one strange ghost after another, killing them all.
When the ghost died, its body shrank rapidly, and then its body began to liquefy, turning into a puddle of vapor in just a few breaths.
King Sauron's achievements are exciting for everyone, and these monsters are not invincible, they can also be killed.
The second to kill the Wraiths was Jon Stark, who, when he was able to block one of his companions' sword slashes, swooped into the front of the Wraith's chest and abdomen, stabbing the "claws" into the Wraith's chest.
The strangers screamed and turned into a puddle of icy water, and they were even more vulnerable than normal humans under ValΓ©li's weapons.
More and more Wraiths are being killed, and the most eye-catching of them is the Adventist team, who fight the Wraiths in a way that doesn't count damage, because compared to the cost of resurrection of 100 energy points, the reward of 1,000 points per Wraibly is definitely a fragrant pie.
Thanks to the efforts of the knights and descenders, the number of undead spirits has been greatly reduced, and the army of ghouls has been redivided into pieces by the soldiers, and the fire mercilessly burns the undead spirits.
......Suddenly, a strange ghost swung his sword to force the enemy back, and then raised his head and roared.
"Ang...... Rise...... Rise...... Ang ...... "Since the first stranger, more and more strangers have joined the group, their withered cheeks facing the sky and emitting piercing screams.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! It was as if the sound of a heartbeat sounded from the ground, and it made people so sad that they almost vomited blood, and terror and despair gripped everyone's hearts.
The death of a large number of strange spirits is finally about to awaken the most terrifying existence of the ancient times, and the snow on the peaks on both sides of the mountain condenses into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the temperature around them drops sharply.
"Woo woo woo ......" The blizzard blew without warning, mixed with wind and rain, and the whole world instantly became white.
"Look! There! One of the soldiers exclaimed, his tone indescribably terrified.
The overwhelming cold wind and broken ice swirled rapidly in the center of the battlefield, forming a white tornado connecting the heavens and the earth, and the extremely cold air roared through the entire battlefield, and most of the soldiers' legs were frozen together with the ground, and an incomparably terrifying aura quietly rose in everyone's hearts.
At this moment, everyone knows that it is coming!
In the midst of the ice and snow, an incomparably tall figure slowly stood up from the ground. It was two adults tall, with a slender body, and its face was the image of a middle-aged man with a solemn expression, its face full of frost and scarlet eyes to highlight its identity, covered in intricate crystal heavy armor, holding a two-meter-long dark blue crystal two-handed giant sword, long silver-white hair fluttering in the wind like a thread of ice, and wearing an evil crown made of frost on top of its head.
"The King of the Strangers! Evil God Incarnation! The surrounding spirits knelt down in a strange posture at the same time, raising their arms and roaring as if in worship.
All the sounds condensed into an ancient byte, a word that has never appeared in the literature of human history, not even in the only large-scale invasion of the Wraiths of Westeros a hundred years ago, full of evil magic, and no one knows the meaning of the name.
The King of the Strange Spirits confronted King Sauron, raised his crystal greatsword high, and swung it with all his might.
"Boom, boom, boom......" The ground shook, and the strong wind pressure swept away the snow below, revealing the blue-brown earth that had been frozen for thousands of years.
The force caused the ground beneath his feet to split like ice into countless intertwined grids, spreading out like cobwebs centered on his feet, and above that, a figure stood.
It's King Zoro! He took the initiative to meet the crystal giant sword with his sword in both hands, blocking this earth-shattering sword.
"You're strong! Surrender to me and I can grant you eternal life. The king of strange ghosts suddenly spoke, it spoke the lingua franca of the mainland, but its voice was like the cold ice under the ice, hoarse, low, evil, cold, full of bewitchment.
King Sauron did not give any reply to the ** of the King of Strange Spirits, but responded to the other party's question with a fierce slash.
Although the King of Strange Spirits was extremely large, his swordsmanship was very exquisite, and the Ice Sword shook the sword of King Sauron lightly, and it seemed to be enraged by King Sauron's actions, and a rumbling voice came out of its mouth, "Stupid human, you can't change the fate of that continent shrouded in darkness and extreme cold. β
......The two swords turned into two lightning bolts, one blue and one silver, quickly intertwined, the speed of the two was too fast, and others could only see the two black shadows constantly moving and hurrying away, and the sound of the sword was as dense as a torrential rain.
"Bell!" The two swords collided violently, and the figures, one tall and one short, stood proudly, their swords crossed. Everyone present watched the battle with all their hearts, and the outcome of this battle was destined to be related to the future fate of the Westeros continent.
Finally, they ushered in the last and strongest sword!
The King of Strange Spirits roared, and the surface of the loud noise in his hand surged with raging wind and snow, like a terrifying natural disaster.
At that moment, the ice in his hand suddenly trembled violently, and the sound of "woo woo" in the air was like the chirping of thousands of birds, which was the whistling sound of the sword body shaking the air at high speed.
"Sword Skill - Chidori."
The two swords silently clashed together, there was no deafening sound, there was no scene of the earth shaking, everything seemed silent.
The wind, at some point, blew up, rolling up wisps of ice chips and fluttering in the wind.
Then, the king of strange ghosts suddenly spoke, and his voice was no longer as evil and cold as before, but with an ancient loneliness and distantness, "I didn't expect that I would lose at the hands of humans. β
"Your time is long over, and defeat is a fate." King Sauron said suddenly.
"You're right, human! We have existed since time immemorial, and we have had a glorious and long civilization, a great and magnificent country. But all this cannot escape the power of time......"
"We, lost......" When the last trace of voice disappeared in the air, a series of ice cracking sounds suddenly sounded all over the body of the King of Strange Demons, countless ice crystals peeled off from the surface of its body, and its body shrank sharply, and finally turned into a sky of ice and snow and sprinkled into the distance.
With the death of the king of the demons, the ghosts howled, and their bodies melted into clear streams of water, slowly merging into the earth beneath their feet.
And the army of ghouls, who had lost the support of the magic of the ghosts, fell to the ground one by one silently, falling into eternal sleep.
The soldiers stared blankly at everything in front of them, as if they had woken up from the deepest nightmare, and they didn't know who asked, "We, defeated the strangers?" β
"Yes, we won!" More and more people said this until it turned into a cheer that ran through the heavens and the earth.
"Humanity, victory!"
