Chapter 29: The Great Wall of Ice and Snow (8)

Gu Shiyu's eyes fell on the two people who were fighting in the hall. Sauron's squire, Tom, has thick skin and a strong force, with an axe in one hand and a mace in the other, and each attack has the power to crack the rock. No, the granite floor had been smashed into a lot by him! And the butcher that Leo had sent to the test had made Gu Shiyu even more impressive! He hadn't played parkour in a long time, and this butcher was simply a master parkourer, using the floor, the walls, the long tables, the pillars, and even Tom's body, to move and fall in the wind with the swing of the axe and mace.

Gu Shiyu was amazed! This butcher has a lot of incredible parkour moves, and although he has cultivated many excellent hero skills, he may not be able to do it.

He is like a nimble swift that walks through the gaps in the raindrops.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Tom couldn't hurt the butcher at all.

"Click!" another long table was split in two by Tom!

"Joseph, do it, or he'll smash our house down!" Leo's generals laughed and cheered.

Joseph's wrist flicked, and the two scimitars at his waist were already in his hands.

Will his two knives be able to hold Tom's axe and mace? Not to mention the fight, even a touch will fly out of the way.

Gu Shiyu was surprised again! As the saying goes, an inch long is an inch strong, and an inch is broken, and an inch is dangerous! Without superior skills, who would dare to use a short weapon to fight with a person? Joseph's two wrist-dissolving scimitars were held in one hand and the other in the back, and they did not touch Tom at all, but attacked Tom's joints from a position that no one could have expected!

How could he be so familiar with the structure of the human body? Any joint will have anterior and posterior ligaments to restrict and pull up to prevent bone dislocation, but this also makes the joint only move within a limited range! Every time Joseph stabs out, Tom has to guard against it, but his arm can't turn around at all! He immediately rushed, if he didn't withdraw his arm in time, his arm would be easily removed by Joseph, and the result was that he had nowhere to go, and he was so anxious that he screamed!

Gu Shiyu immediately thought of the story of Ku Ding's release of the cow. In that text, it is written, "The hand touches, the shoulder leans, the foot walks, the knee foot, the sword is played, and the alto is not the middle sound." The dance of the mulberry forest is the meeting of the Chinese scriptures", isn't it the reproduction of the ease now?

This butcher named Joseph couldn't have crossed over from Ku Ding, right? Gu Shiyu was a little suspicious, but also a little expectant.

"Stop!" Leo seemed to have saved some face for the guests who had come from afar, and just as Tom was in danger, he stopped in time.

"Both warriors are equally skilled and brave in combat!Come, give each of them a jar of wine and a shoulder of meat!" Leo looked around with triumph and said, "Do you believe it? I have seen him on the battlefield with these two knives to the skeleton of one of the enemy's warriors!"

The hall burst into applause. Tom's face turned red and white, and he retreated in a daze.

"Uncle Leo, please give him to me!" Gu Shiyu stood up and pleaded to Renne: "I need his skills!

Leo was hesitant, Joseph was one of his favorite warriors, how could he give it up, but he couldn't refuse the Prince Regent's request in public. He had no choice but to say, "He's a free man...... I can't take a stand for him, but I'd better give him the right to choose freely!" he beckoned to the butcher: "Joseph, our great chosen one, the noble Prince Regent, wants you to be his servant, will you follow him and never betray?"

Joseph knelt down on half a knee: "Your Excellency, I have sworn allegiance to you! Your Royal Highness, I want to ask for your forgiveness, I cannot break my promise, let alone repeat my promise again!"

"I'm sorry I asked too much of you! you're the best fighter I've ever met, and I appreciate your loyalty!"

Watching Joseph leave the hall, Gu Shiyu reluctantly sat down and muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Leo must have heard this, and he immediately looked at Gu Shiyu with dissatisfied eyes.

Gu Shiyu knew that he must have misunderstood what he meant. He explained, "Uncle Leo, I have every confidence that he will do a very good job in your unit as well! I regret why people as talented as him, like Tom, did not become heroes! If they had practiced heroic skills, they would have been very powerful!"

"Joseph is a native of the north. His family is very poor, and when he was only a few years old, he went to the slaughterhouse as an apprentice to support his family, so how could he go out and practice freely?"

"This is where I think it's a pity!" Gu Shiyu sighed: "I think God has no eyes, otherwise he wouldn't have buried so many excellent talents!"

"Yes! Some people say that God closes a door for a person, and it is bound to open another window, I think this is just nonsense! God is simply a blind man who can't see anything, or an idiot who doesn't know anything!" Leo seemed to agree with Gu Shiyu's opinion. He raised his glass and said, "Let us all come together to salute His Majesty the King of Erathia, and our noble Royal Highness the Prince!"

As soon as I drank a bowl of wine, it almost gushed out of my throat. Gu Shiyu finally suppressed the feeling of vomiting.

No! If you drink it again, you will definitely make a fool of yourself, so you have to find a way to get rid of it immediately.

"Thank you, Uncle Leo, for your hospitality, but I'd like to ask you to learn more about the defenses of the Great Wall of Ice before I wake up. ”

"Alright!" Leo looked unsatisfied. He poured another bowl of wine for himself, and after drinking not a drop left, he took Gu Shiyu and Eric into the battle hall.

When Gu Shiyu and Eric came out, the city of Shiyan was already pitch black. He had already decided that the troops would be drawn early tomorrow morning! The soldiers he had brought with him were really making trouble in the city, and General Leo's patrol could not bear it anymore, and finally began to arrest people, and as a result, the two armies had fought a big fight in the city, and if the commanders of both sides had not arrived in time to stop it, I was afraid that it would have turned into a bloody battle!

And also...... The situation on the other side of the Great Wall is really worrying!

Alas, my God, I can't let Ge An make a little money with peace of mind, drink a little wine, chew a little meat, make a little tea, listen to a little song, and hug a little ...... Why do you want to choose the one who chooses the day of the brother?

Could it be that my brother was born to work hard?!

He looked in the direction of Erathia behind the castle. There were tall snow-capped mountains, blocking his view.

Is Thea still standing on the wall, looking out at the darkness of the north?

At the foot of the mountain is the huge forest where Helena is stationed. Haven't you drunk Helena's mushroom soup tonight...... But it was too late, and Gu Shiyu had to give up.

After the supply of Shiyan City, although the team went north, the wind and snow became heavier, but it felt much better.

The Rangers patrolling around the group captured a few men who were wrapped in airtightness. When they were escorted to Gu Shiyu and Sauron, they were crawling in the snow and shivering.

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you!" Gu Shiyu comforted them: "Tell me everything you know, and I will guide you to a safe place!"

"Your Royal Highness, we need to find out if they are night watchmen!" Sauron's heart was not so kind: "If they are the night watchmen who have escaped, they are deserters! I don't think you should be soft on deserters, so how can you lead your troops to war in the future?"

"Spare us! we're not the Night's Watch......"

"Take off your scarves and let me see your faces!"

"Don't ...... You're going to kill us!"

"If you don't, I'll kill you in no time!" Zoro menaced. The generals on the side immediately drew their swords.

Gu Shiyu was very nervous. If they were the Night Watchmen, should they have ordered the deserters to be executed?

As the scarf went around in circles, the people next to him immediately exclaimed.

Oh my God, can those faces still be called faces? Their faces are densely covered with red and white ring-shaped patches, some of them even festering and oozing mucus, showing the white bones inside! Some of their lips have cracked, and their gums are exposed!

It's literally a zombie's face!

The facts were already clear, they were not night watchmen, which made Gu Shiyu breathe a sigh of relief.

"Weren't you exiled outside the Great Wall, how did you come to Kannai?"

"His Royal Highness...... It's terrifying there! There are undead floating everywhere outside the gate now...... It has become a hell, and all the living people want to escape back to the gate, or else they will die......"

"You haven't said how you got in!"

"We ...... It took us a few months to dig up the cave that led to the gate......"

"Damn it!" Sauron was furious, "Don't you know that it is possible for the undead to use these caves to enter the gates?

"Wait!" Gu Shiyu immediately stopped: "Commander Zoro, they are not the night watchmen who escaped! I have promised them that as long as they tell the truth, they will be let live, should you let me break my promise?"

"But ......"

"Execute the order! All the people outside the gate will move into the gate! General Leo has already carved out a quarantine zone for them in the Sheltered Valley. Gu Shiyu said to these poor people: "Go there, it's only fifty kilometers east from here!"

Seeing these people gradually moving away, Gu Shiyu ordered the army to continue to advance north.

Somehow, Gu Shiyu suddenly remembered Merlinde. She and Altyn had promised to send their family legions into battle, had they forgotten?

If only they could! The witches are the best doctors in the world!

By the way, isn't Helena also a witch? Gu Shiyu immediately turned his head to look at the forest walking behind him.

As the most powerful witch in the world, she probably wouldn't help these poor people!

What the hell is wrong with Helena? As soon as she goes to her mushroom hut these days, she immediately yells angrily at him to get out!

Witches are unpredictable, and it's no wonder that people are so afraid of them.

Early the next morning, there was a sudden commotion in the camp.

Dozens of zombies suddenly popped up around the camp!

By the time Gu Shiyu and Eric hurried in, the dozens of zombies had already been wiped out.

Gu Shiyu carefully examined the corpses. He suddenly shouted, "Zoro, you come over to me!"

"What do you command?" said Sauron, hurrying over.

"Look at these people! They are the captives you took yesterday! I ask you, did you give the order to kill them?!"

"I didn't, Your Highness, wasn't I with you at the time?" argued Sauron.

"Nonsense! Take a serious look, they all have a fatal sword wound in their chest!"

Sauron's eyes flickered, avoiding Gu Shiyu's sinister gaze.

"They are disease carriers, but they are also human beings! How can you have the right to deprive others of their lives at will?!"

"I'm not wrong! I'm just not trying to let them spread the disease to Erathia!" Zoro said, curling his neck.

Gu Shiyu's face was red with blood.

"Forget it! It's already happening, and it's useless to blame it!Chosen One, come and see, it's a strange thing!" Eric stood up and pointed to a dozen or so other corpses next to him.

The corpses were all dressed in battle armor. There is no doubt that these were all sentinels on duty around the camp before dawn!

They are supposed to be bitten by zombies in their sleep and then turned into zombies!

And how did the slain leper become a zombie?

Gu Shiyu's face suddenly changed!

"If I'm correct, these people outside the gate have been cursed by the vicious curse of dark magic!" Eric nodded.

The results of the patrol search report confirmed Eric's judgment. Aside from a limited number of tracks, there were no other signs of the undead around.

"What should we do?" asked Eric in a low voice.

"Let's burn these corpses first!" Eric pulled Gu Shiyu aside: "I know you are a merciful person! You have two options, one is to kill all the people outside the gate, and the second is to let them in. But I think the second option is too risky! If any of them die, the whole quarantine area will become a cemetery for the undead!"

"Your Excellency High Priest, I can't choose the first way, it will make me evil! Let's use the second way, maybe not everyone has suffered a terrible curse! As long as we are more vigilant, we should be able to control the quarantine area!"

"Alright then!" Eric nodded helplessly.

Helena also walked out of the forest. Her hands were reverently stretched out to heaven and her mouth began to chant.

Merely...... Helena's Sanskrit chanting became louder and louder, and her body began to spin, finally forming a terrifying black mist!

"Go!" Helena bit her tongue and spewed out a large cloud of blood mist!

The sky has changed color! Half the sky is red, and half the sky is black! The wind has begun to howl, sweeping up snowflakes in the sky.

People on the ground can see the clear dividing line in the sky. This dividing line is entangled with each other and does not give in to each other, and a tug-of-war begins.

Come on, Helena! Gu Shiyu's heart rose to his throat!

Eventually, the battle between red and black in the sky seemed to reach an equilibrium. The wind that Helena was whipping up slowly calmed down, and when the black fog cleared, everyone saw Helena lying on the ground with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

"Helena!" Gu Shiyu immediately rushed forward and held Helena in his arms.

Helena's face suddenly aged a lot, and her head turned white again.

"I can't beat him...... He's stronger than I thought!" Helena said weakly.

"Who is he?" Eric already knew in his heart!

"Death Bellerion, he's right there, across the wall from me!" Helena spat out a mouthful of blood: "I can't destroy his dark spell, I can only barely stop the spell from spreading to the south! Take your people back, the chosen one! Once you enter the dark canopy, it means that you are also cursed, and you will become undead after death!"

Gu Shiyu turned his head to look at the dividing line in the sky. Beneath that darkness is the Great Wall of Ice and Snow that is still impossible to see. Obviously, the entire Great Wall defense line has been cursed by the terrible curse of the Grim Reaper Bellerion!

"Natanan ......"

"Yes, he was also inadvertently cursed...... Helena closed her eyes, a few tears rolling out of the corners of her eyes, and then froze on her cold cheeks.

When he dies, will he be reincarnated as before, or will he degenerate into an immortal undead?

She didn't dare to think about it anymore.

In fact, at that moment, she was almost on the verge of a jade fight with the Grim Reaper, Bellerion. But her nature as a mother made her hesitate!

She can't die! She must live, at least give birth to the flesh and bones in her belly!

Quinn...... Forgive me! I didn't betray you, but I didn't suppress the temptation in my heart!

Gu Shiyu slashed his wrist, letting the blood flow into Helena's mouth drop by drop.

Helena slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the man in front of her, who was more than a thousand years younger than herself, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Do you know that I am pregnant with your flesh and blood, the Chosen One?

Of course, you can't possibly know...... You were ...... by me in your sleep

It's been more than a thousand years, and the first time I stole the forbidden fruit, was I unfortunately shot?

How am I going to face Quinn, how am I going to explain this nonsense to him?

It's a great irony! I've lived with Quinn for years, why haven't I been shot?

Helena slowly closed her eyes.
