North, the Great Wall.

The entire Great Wall was ruled by the bitter cold, and the spirits of frost and snow crowded the gaps between the bricks and tiles, exuding a chill that only belonged to the north.

Ice crystals formed layers of frost on the walls, and if they weren't wearing gloves, the soldiers of the Great Wall Guards would be glued to them, and even if they could pull them off, they would shed a layer of skin.

Beyond the Great Wall, there is a river that has condensed into ice, and the cold wind blows through it, and the ice picks stand tall, and the scene of the Great Wall is reflected in the transparent ice.

Frost hits, and winter is not far behind.

The soldiers of the Great Wall Guards lit firewood and baked their frozen palms on the freezing Great Wall.

"How's that guy you picked up yesterday?" asked a middle-aged man in heavy clothing.

The young man opposite him seemed to be still immersed in the warmth of lighting firewood, and did not respond to the middle-aged man's question.

"Don't be stupid, you feel warm now, and when the fire goes out, you'll feel even colder," the middle-aged man reminded.

Hearing this, the young man reluctantly withdrew his hand, looked at the goose feather snow flying outside the Great Wall, and sighed.

"Captain, that guy fell outside the Great Wall, and now even if he picks it up, he only has half a life left, and he looks so peculiar, what if he is a spy of the demons?" the young man looked a little resentful, he was one of the people who strongly opposed bringing people back to the Great Wall yesterday.

"He's not a demon, the demon looks so disgusting," the middle-aged man spat outside the Great Wall, "I don't know what's going on with him, I just know that he fainted outside the Great Wall for some reason." ”

"But as long as we are not demons, we should not give up anyone's life, you won't forget the oath left on the Great Wall, right?" the middle-aged man raised his eyelids and looked at the young man.

The young man immediately stood up straight, like a report, and shouted at the middle-aged man: "Democracy, freedom, order, kindness, fraternity, strength, we are the guardians of the Great Wall, we are the lonely watchmen, we will be the first line of defense against chaos and evil, do not abandon, do not give up, I am a member of the Great Wall Guards, I will bear the responsibility of protecting mankind." ”

All of a sudden, the young man recited the creed of the Great Wall Guards out loud, and his voice was loud and powerful.

His performance made the middle-aged man smile.

The middle-aged man gently touched the young man's head with his hand: "Tom, it's good, you have memorized the creed of the Great Wall Guards. ”

"But you're not ready to practice it. The middle-aged man shook his head under Tom's surprised gaze, "Your reaction yesterday was too intense, this shouldn't be the emotion of a Great Wall Guard, you should always stay calm." ”

"But Uncle Sam, how can a human be so big? This is definitely a test for the demons, and they will test our attitude with the Great Wall, and if we accept them, maybe the Great Wall will be breached internally. Tom muttered.

A cold wind blew, and Tom shivered from the cold. He wrapped his fur coat a little tighter, and exhaled bursts of white air from his mouth.

"Don't do that, take it easy, or you'll just feel colder and colder, Tom, and get your body used to the temperature of the Wall. Sam broke Tom's hands apart, forcing him to meet the cold.

Tom trembled all over, but he didn't get angry.

He knew Sam was doing it for his own good. The Great Wall Guards, who don't know how to fight the frost, might as well return to the warm city of Loyes as soon as possible and wait for death.

Two months ago, Tom was introduced by Sam and studied and trained in the preparatory class of the Great Wall Guards for half a year before he officially came to the Great Wall in the north and joined the Great Wall Guards.

Life as a Great Wall Guard is somewhat boring. They would wake up at half past six every morning, and after breakfast, they would practice and then stand guard with each other in shifts, looking out over the Great Wall at the far abyss of the Far North. At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, in addition to the staff on duty, there will be an hour's rest after lunch, and then they will continue to stand guard until 10 o'clock in the evening. For the sake of normal work and rest, the night shift after 10 o'clock is also carried out in turns.

It's boring, but after joining the Great Wall Guard, the soldier's family will receive a large sum of money as an early payment pension. Many of the guards were hard-working people, and they wanted to give their families hope for life in this way.

This also leads to the fact that although the current Great Wall Guards have been trained and have sufficient combat effectiveness, they still lack a kind of blood and faith. They are no longer the same as the Great Wall Guards of 500 years ago, they lack a lot of experience, they lack the faith to protect humanity.

Occasionally, some mad and weak demons who have lost their minds have crawled out of the Far North Abyss, and they are easily killed by the Great Wall Guards, and their bodies are dumped outside the Great Wall. It's a pity that these petty fights don't make these Great Wall guards have the fighting power of the past five hundred years.

And just yesterday, a giant held on to the wall of the Great Wall, walked step by step to the entrance of the Great Wall, knocked on the door, and then fainted.

Before that, the Great Wall Guards had not found any trace of him.

The Great Wall Guards were on alert, and the scouts they sent out found that the giant had traveled eight hundred kilometers along the Great Wall, and the frost on the Great Wall had been wiped away by his hands, and the re-condensation had left a clear mark, and the footprints on the ground also proved the distance he had walked.

When the new generation of Great Wall Guards was about to throw the giant out, they were stopped by older soldiers, who lifted the giant and brought it inside the Wall.

During this period, there were very fierce conflicts.

The new generation of Great Wall Guards believes that this is a variant of the Demon, and to bring him back to the Great Wall is to lure the wolf into the house and bring about his own destruction.

The veterans, on the other hand, shook their heads vigorously, but did not explain anything.

"You don't understand it yet, but when you stay at the Great Wall for a long time, you will understand. The veterans' words left the recruits in a fog and at a loss, but the conflict with the veterans in words and actions continued.

It wasn't until the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall Guards stepped in that the conflict between the two factions was quelled, and the veterans supported the veterans and brought the giant back to the interior of the Wall to recuperate.

"Uncle Sam, tell me, why did you have to bring that giant back to the Wall?" Tom looked at Sam with a serious expression.

Sam looked into Tom's questioning eyes and sighed helplessly.

"Ever heard of fire? It's not this kind of fire," Sam said, gesturing to the wood that was about to go out, "it's the kind of fire that will never be extinguished." ”
