Chapter 261: Overture to the Dead
A heavy snowfall soon overflowed the top of the foot, and there was a possibility of further increases. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to be able to maintain the superiority of the walls and fortifications, almost all the night watchmen went into action, shoveling ice and snow, and squandering their strength in the cold wind.
"There are two kinds of enemies that may attack, the wild and the ghouls outside the plug. Mormont tried to see through the snow into the distance, but couldn't. The fire that was lit at the sentry post flickered, faint, and hazy like the buttocks of fireflies in the white expanse of the world. Zhao Mai's words are still in his ears, and he constantly reminds us to guard against two kinds of enemies and to do a good job in the "ideological mobilization" of the night watch. Although he is not very clear about what the ideological mobilization is going to do, he still understands the general meaning.
Xiong Lao sighed, Zhao Mai is very smart, but he doesn't know how to lead troops to fight, and there are times and situations where he can't do ideological mobilization. It would have been different if they had commanded valiant knights, not a band of robbers, bandits, and thieves, not a bunch of people who chose to steal their lives from the Night's Watch out of fear of death, and not a bunch of poor men who could not suffer and were on the verge of mutiny. Now, he would rather not say anything, looking forward to their desire to survive at that time, than let them be frightened by their own fears now.
A trumpet sounded, from the sentry post in the far north, distant and faint, but undoubted. The night watchman stopped his shovel and pricked up his ears to listen. They wanted it to be a clarion call for the return of their brothers. No matter which Ranger who went to scout all the way back, it means that they have found the movement of the wildlings, which also means that they can "move". But on the other hand, they are also waiting to see if there will be a second voice representing the wildling.
The first sound stopped, and after about five seconds, a louder second horn sounded, piercing through the snow. This time, all the night watchmen sprang into action at once, and even those who were sleeping on their shifts got up. Two trumpets call everyone to take up arms and alert the enemy to coming.
Samwell grumbled as he staggered to his feet, his feet still tangled between his cloak and blanket. He reached out and grabbed the chain mail that was hanging aside, only to realize that there was still a person standing there. Mike was already completely draped, but his hands were empty, and he was followed by a large dog also in armor, and the slotted sharp spikes replaced the nails that had been inlaid with leather armor.
"Sam, I'm here to say goodbye to you. Zhao Mai said to him: "The horn of battle has sounded, and I am going to settle accounts with the strange ghosts." ”
"The stranger is coming?" Sam's hands and feet suddenly froze. No matter how many mental cues he had made before, he would still feel scared at this time. "How do you know?"
The second horn stopped. Sam's heart rose to his throat and he prayed to the Old God, "Don't ring anymore, don't ring anymore." But the Old Gods, like the Seven Gods of the House of Tully, did not answer his prayers. The third horn finally sounded with a sense of panic, and the sound was not far from the Ancestral Fist Peak, and it was still approaching.
The trumpet sounded and on, and on, and it seemed to never end. Ravens flapped their wings, screamed, fluttered, and slammed into the railings in their cages. All the warriors of the Night's Watch in the camp had risen to their feet, put on their armor, arranged their scabbards, and secured their battle axes and longbows. Some of the Night's Watch hesitated for a moment, but then took out the dark red ointment and began to apply it to the weapon, praying to themselves that it would be useful. Their teeth shivered, and their hands trembled, and only the warmth of the ointment made them feel better.
"Sam, in this case, is it better to have fog or no fog?"
was slapped on the shoulder by Zhao Mai, and Sam came back to his senses. "I don't know...... However, my father, Lord Lando, didn't like fog, saying that it would affect the command. ”
"Well, I see. Zhao Mai walked down the mountain and walked in the direction where the horn sounded. He placed his hands open at the sides of his legs, and the wind, snow, and frost around him all surged into his palms, and the natural force formed a vortex to continuously absorb the power of the surrounding ice. Druids are able to change the weather within a certain range, such as rainfall, hail, and even tornadoes.
Zhao Mai cast a spell, and the modulation of the spell followed the force to blow between the clouds and enter the source of the snow. Zhao Mai immediately felt a huge resistance, and the scale of this snowstorm was far beyond his imagination. The whole world will enter winter with this snow, it is the will of the vast world, and Zhao Mai's power is like a mantis arm in front of it.
Although it is also a kind of bravery to use the mantis arm as a car, Zhao Mai still has to leave the strength to kill the enemy, and he can't hit himself on the wall first. He immediately changed his spell and instead of fighting the heavy snow, he just dispelled the snow mist.
The wind blew, and the snowflakes smashed on the face and hurt, but it also blew away the fog, and now everyone saw the enemy. The vast expanse of ghouls passed through like a flood, flooding every inch of ground in the pine forest. Suddenly, except for the snow in the sky, there was no more white. Black, withered corpses, some even left with skeletons left, charge, charge, charge. They were silent, except for the sound of sizzling footsteps.
At a cursory glance, the number of ghouls was in the thousands, pouring from all directions to the Ancestral Fist Peak, and the night watchmen had nowhere to escape. Elder Bear's voice rang out over the hill, and the night watchmen heard it: "Samwell Tully! Tell them that we fought to the death at the Fist Peak of the Ancestors! Tell them that the kings of the south will be grateful to us, let the poets of the south sing our songs, and let the children grow up listening to our stories! We are the night watchmen!"
I don't know who started it, but the night watchman's oath sounded again, but with some changes: "The long night has come, and I will keep watch until I die." I will not have a wife, nor a fief, nor a child. 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 on the Wall. I am 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. ”
Zhao Mai stepped on the new snow and marched towards the ghouls, listening to the sound of the oath merging behind him. There are easier ways to do this, such as driving through the enemy and pressing it down, and the ghouls' claws can't hurt the car in the slightest. He can also burrow through the ground and appear directly behind the enemy. But what's the point of that? When all eyes are on him, when the blood is already boiling, it seems that no little cleverness should appear.
Flames erupted from his palm, turning into a bright flaming spear. Zhao Mai suddenly stopped at this time, because he felt that there seemed to be something missing. Hurry up and take out your phone, and while you still have some time, you should choose a background music.
Out of the corner of the eye, you can already see the undead in the charge, so a song "Overture to the Dead" should be a good choice. When the music played, the first round of arrows from the Ancestral Fist Peak came first, smashing down among the enemies.
Normal arrows don't hurt ghouls much, but some of them burn violently and turn into ashes in less than a few seconds. The sound of cheers sounded on the peak of the ancestors' fist, and Boss Xiong ordered loudly: "Use natural fireworks and potions!
Accompanied by powerful music, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Mai's mouth, the "plot" had finally changed, and the night watchman had a strategic and tactical advantage that he did not have, and he finally took this step. He shouted loudly in his heart: Burn, stranger, who told you to anger the traverser?! Zhao Mai put away his mobile phone and used his psychic ability to form a shield on his left arm, which had no weight, but was as hard as steel. He still uses the way he is most familiar with the shield and spear, so that he can use his skills 100%.
"If you are in danger, you teleport to the tree, don't hesitate. Zhao Mai said to the reserve grain: "Our goal is to kill the ghouls and go to the strange ghosts to settle accounts!"
"Wang!" (To be continued.) )
