Chapter 178: Avalanche
"There's an ambush!"
Stannis shouted with all his strength to the man in front of him, his voice echoing through the valley, but it was too late, and countless terrible noises like nails on the walls came overhead.
"Upper!"
Someone in the valley raised their fingers and screamed in fear, and everyone looked upwards, and the most terrifying sight they had ever seen in their lives appeared.
I don't know when, there are countless white figures on the originally empty mountain wall, and dense arthropods are like termites climbing on the vertical rocks, and silently watching the people at the bottom of the cliff.
It was Stannis who reacted first, and he found that the stones were all Chaos people! they were already lying in ambush waiting for them to appear, and the reason why they were able to hang on the rocks was because of the group of people who were hanging their bodies in the cracks of the stone with sharp hand knives.
"Don't stand still, come out quickly!" Stannis shouted in a frenzy, but the crowd, already in the form of a painting of hell, could no longer move their feet.
Moreover, how could these monsters bother to set up such an ambush, how could they let people escape from here, all the Chaos Folk spread their ribs like insects, and resonated with each other, their bodies shaking at the same frequency. Then the whole valley began to shake, and the broken stone chips began to peel off the mountain and fall downward, finally smashing the crowd from the fear, and everyone let out the most heart-rending screams, and fled out of the valley, but their lives ended the moment they stepped into the valley.
When they heard a loud rumble coming from overhead, they knew that their fate was over, an avalanche, and a white death had descended.
The avalanche caused by the shaking fell unstoppably from the top of the cliff, mercilessly devouring all life at the top of the valley, and no one could survive the catastrophe.
In the face of the devastating forces of nature, all Stannis could do was to run for his life in a frenzied manner, and the people outside the valley ran desperately outside, finally avoiding being affected.
But even so, as the avalanche cleared, the valley was filled in, at least half of the expeditionary force was swallowed up, and the survivors who survived were shivering and dying.
Stannis straightened up from the snow, he had just dragged him out to save Barrow IV, who was still in the valley, but in the end he was buried by the snow, but fortunately there was not a lot of snow covered, and he still got out of the snow by his own strength.
But others were not so lucky, countless stumps protruding from the snow, and their owners were buried underneath without breathing.
Stannis hurriedly looked towards the valley and found that the white chaos people there had disappeared, and if they wanted to kill them all, the scattered expeditionary force that was now hit by the avalanche had no ability to resist.
But for some reason, the monsters let them go? Stannis didn't think much about it, he got into the snow again, and with great effort, he pulled Barrow's huge body out of the snow, and unfortunately, one of the big man's legs was broken by a flying stone in the avalanche just now, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the severed limb, leaving a conspicuous blood painting on the white snow.
Stanis, who had some knowledge of first aid, immediately untied his belt and tightened it around Barrow's broken leg, but he could feel that the other person's body temperature was rapidly disappearing, and he began to regret why he didn't bring Romney with him this time.
The voice of a living person not far away caught his attention.
"Everyone ready to fight!" Enrique shuddered and tried to raise his sword, because he had the most people, so he had just been blocked outside and picked up a life.
But no one paid attention to him, and it was not only the lives of the dead that were taken by the avalanche, but also the will of the living, and under the double blow of this catastrophe and nightmare monsters, most of the survivors had lost their courage, and they wandered back and forth, crying and fearing.
"Robert, are you still alive?" Stannis dragged Barrow, who had already fainted, as he struggled to walk through the snow.
And his little brother had just escaped by hiding behind a huge solitary rock, and he was struggling to crawl out of the snow while shouting, "I'm still alive boss!"
Stannis gritted his teeth and brought Barrow there, where many wounded people had gathered, and the military priests were casting spells back and forth, but many were still wailing and dying.
"I'll hand him over to you, and by the way, you can gather me and the people of the Ba Fu Lou family together and count the casualties. Stannis walked out.
"What are you going to do!" said Robert, who was still half-sunk in the snow, and had expected Stannis to pull him.
But the lord had already walked towards the avalanche site just now, and the valley had been filled with heavy snow, and it seemed that the people buried underneath had realized that it was possible to survive. Countless hands stretched out from the snow and were no longer alive, like tombstones, which was chilling to look at.
Stannis wandered around for a long time, still not finding a survivor, and the intelligence of those monsters was truly amazing, and they lost at least half of the expeditionary force without paying a single price.
Suddenly, sharp-eyed he saw a man sticking out of the snow with a sword in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and finally he was sure that it was the fire kiss sword he had sold!
He had previously sold it to Baron Fatace, the 'Fat Man', from the Valley for 300 gold coins through Albert's brokerage, and it seems that its current owner had been buried here.
Stannis immediately swung his head back and forth to look around, and after making sure that no one was looking at him, he quickly broke the dead man's frozen fingers and inserted the Fire Kiss Sword into his empty scabbard, and the feeling of returning to its original owner was wonderful, and Stannis decided to spend his life with this legendary sword.
When he returned satisfied, he found that the survivors had gathered under the rock, and the bleeding had stopped at Barona's severed thigh, but he was still fainting, and his injuries looked unpromising.
At the same time, after Robert's inventory just now, the Niu family lost one-third of its people, and the Long family's army was unscathed because of the tail of the crane.
Just as Stannis was secretly rejoicing that he had not only lost but also made a small profit, a terrible cry sounded out at an inopportune time.
"Monsters! Monsters are behind us!"
Everyone poured out the shadows of the stone, and sure enough, they found a large group of white Chaos people slowly approaching them again.
Damn, they didn't spare themselves just now, but wanted to strangle them on the plains! Stannis clenched his fists and felt extremely angry, even such ugly monsters could play tricks on themselves!
In this desperate time, it was still necessary for the calm elders to stand up, and Seaworth pointed to the north and shouted, "There's a hill over there, run that way!"
At such moments, it was fortunate that someone could step up and take command, and the chaotic crowd finally found their target, and they carried their wounded comrades and ran up the hillside, which overlooked the battlefield and was an excellent place to defend.
Stannis and Robert picked up Barrow and ran towards it, but luckily the Chaos had no intention of chasing them, allowing everyone on the expedition to reach the hillside. On the way, they also forced their way across a wide river, which had not yet frozen, causing the first few people to fall into the river, but fortunately they were picked up by the people behind. Fortunately, there is a shallow beach in the middle of the river, and the water is only knee-high, and although the river is cold to the bone in winter, the desperate people do not hesitate to wade across the river.
When they climbed the hillside, they found that there was an abandoned village that had long been empty, and with the intact household belongings, it seemed that the villagers had also suffered bad luck.
"Everyone prepare to fight!" Stannis shouted, but no one listened to him, the Chaos Folk were pressing on them, and had reached the other side of the river, where they would cross the river. 21046
