The strangers couldn't guess that the fire-attribute magic in the bodies of the fallen defenders was neither a miracle of Rahlo nor the magic of the Green Prophet, but only a temporary operation that Houguan Town had only started today, and the feasibility was unknown.

In the early hours of the morning, after receiving battle reports from all over the front line, the command made a series of decisions using the newly obtained information, and after the meeting to revise and expand the defense plan before the battle was over, Bachelor Koben, who was not a commander and was not a clerk's staff, suddenly raised a magical topic in the discussion: Since Long Jing can kill ghouls, can it be possible to achieve "I kill myself" by stuffing this substance into the body in advance, that is, after being killed in battle and resurrected as a ghoul, relying on the dragon crystal in the body to directly kill "another self". "What?

There was no doubt that this kind of magical brain-hole discussion was more appropriate for the tense moments and serious occasions of the general command room after the decisive battle had already broken out, but the idea of touching on the dead end of the mind immediately aroused Egger's interest.

At such a moment, the inexplicable enemy is rampage through the sturdy lines carefully prepared by the Night's Watch, and at such a moment, of course, one cannot stick to normal thinking!

It is naturally impossible to explode the chrysanthemum for all the soldiers and civilians or do surgery to plug the dragon crystal, but - there is an easier way to let obsidian enter the human body: swallow it!

After completing the manufacture of the "Dragon Steel Explosive Bomb", the only still operating foundry in the industrial zone was immediately replaced, and a large number of glass beads the size of pearls were melted from obsidian at full capacity, and distributed to all the soldiers and civilians, including the giants, at dinner, forcing everyone to swallow before the war.

This round and angular, small thing enters the body through the esophagus and basically does not cause any harm to the person, and it will be excreted from the body as it is after completing a round of digestion...... The inability to immobilize in the body was the only drawback of this scheme, but obviously, it would not take more than an hour for the strangers to capture a fortress, and it was impossible for anyone with a healthy stomach to pull it out before the end of the battle.

Contrary to the assumptions of the proposer, the actual effect of swallowing the dragon crystal is not to "kill the reborn ghouls", but to directly hinder the operation of cold magic. It's actually quite easy to deal with this trick - either take a little time to disembowel and pull out the obsidian beads from the stomachs of the fallen one by one, or spend more energy to neutralize the fire magic in the obsidian first, and then continue the ghoul spell.

However, both time and magic are precious resources that the ghosts are lacking in the current situation where the Great Wall has not been broken and the dragons are hurrying towards the battlefield!

The strange ghost was shocked to report to the Night King about the strange situation that had befallen him, and the footsteps of the soldiers of the human hunting brigade, with the dragon crystal bombs and dragon steel arrows, had already sounded a street away.

＊＊＊

I thought that Houguan Town was a piece of fat meat at my fingertips, but who wanted to really fight only to find out that it was a heavily armed and agile fat warrior - fat meat, there is indeed it, but if you want to eat it in your mouth, it is very difficult!

Even with the use of the hole card of cold magic at the beginning, the casualties of the ghouls still skyrocketed by tens or hundreds...... Soon it broke through one thousand and went straight to two thousand, and the growth rate completely exceeded the Night King's original expectations.

However, although the casualties were large, as long as the total number of living people in this town did not exceed the total number of people who could be converted into soldiers, the battle could be regarded as a loss. Considering that there are still a lot of giants hiding in the walls, it can even be said that there is something to be earned.

As a sapient being, the purpose of the Night King's existence is not just to be the strongest wraith, but to try to deal with and restrain the living when they use their means to resist.

He plays the same role as Egger in the Night's Watch - the decision-maker and leader!

The Grand Canyon Defense Line, the East China Sea Lookout de-icing, the Great Wall patrol day and night, wildfires, explosive bombs, and various dragon crystal weapons...... Humanity's preparations for this great battle are beyond imagination, but the Night King still fulfills his duty, coming up with and executing solutions one by one. Only the Dragon Steel Arrow, an unprecedented, indestructible and magical artifact, racked his brains, and only thought of a 100% safe way to deal with it, that is: hide yourself and stay out of the range of this kind of arrow.

Sticking to this line of thought, the Night King remained unmoved when Melisandre cast a spell moments earlier to reveal his location by attaching the first powerful light spell to the dragon steel arrow in Egger's hand, and continued to hide silently in the sea of ghouls far from the city walls, sneering at the enemies in the distance who were racking their brains to lure him into appearing.

The first shining lightbringer streaked across the sky and landed at a swarm of ghouls not far in front of the Night King.

Let's be honest: a Crimson Priest is quite a bait, and it's even more painful to think about killing the last Green Prophet in the world...... Even after careful perceiving, the Night King realized that the man who shot the arrow was not a nobody, but had a familiar and rare aura - the mark of the cold god's old enemy!

It's really a narrow road, that is the night watchman who caused his first alien casualty in the Ghost Forest a few years ago!

Even if all these temptations are squeezed into a pile and packed in front of you...... In order to accomplish the greater cause of the Cold God, the Night King still held back his desire to make a move.

However, as the second dragon steel arrow radiating a strong light shone and landed again, and the strange ghost subordinates who entered the city reported to them the incredible situation they had encountered, the meaning of this battle was instantly marked with a question mark: only by relying on magic could it be possible to capture Houguan Town with small battle damage, and only by ending the battle as soon as possible could the magic of destroying the Great Wall be taken by the Long Night Fortress before the dragon returned to join the battle...... But if it takes a lot of time or mana to turn the city's "infusion" defenders into ghouls after breaching this wall, what's the point of attacking the town first instead of the original plan?

Suddenly, the Night King suddenly understood the reason why the other party continued to throw dragon steel arrows in his direction "meaninglessly".

In addition to trying to lure themselves into beheading him, this move also meant to demonstrate and show off - the enemy wanted to send a message by wasting this magic weapon that could destroy the priests of the cold god that they wanted as many weapons as they wanted, and the priests they sent into the city had already fallen into a trap, sheep in the mouth of the tiger, and there was no escape!

Abandoning the Great Wall and attacking this human town was a huge mistake in decision, and while the ghoul casualties were not serious, it was best to immediately abort the attack and move on to other, more valuable targets. However, the eight priests who had been sent into the wall were now the most difficult to collect the troops.

Every cold god priest is a precious resource, and the number of ghouls that the Night King can control alone is endless, and he can't just give up two-thirds of his subordinates casually, otherwise, even if he wins on the battlefield of land grants, it will still be difficult to attack the rest of the human world in the south.

Somehow, they had to be covered, so that the eight priests could break out of the walls of Houguan Town!

Again and again, the night king finally became murderous. He raised the ice spear and aimed it in the direction of the wall, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and put it down: if he had to deal with the demon dragon in the future, this magic weapon condensed from his body was still the only option, and now it was not because of anger that he would use this last card against a mere mortal.

He handed the ice spear back to the priest subordinate beside him, and instead picked up a fist-sized stone at his feet.

Projecting an attack with a non-streamlined weapon at such a distance is inaccurate, but the upside is that even if the location is exposed, there is no fear of the threat of humans' magic arrows.

Glancing at the location of the Red God Priest and the first Priest Slayer, the Night King gathered all his strength and threw the stone in his hand...... At the same time, an order was issued for the whole army to attack.

＊＊＊

Throwing stones is not a spell in any sense, but as a life form that exists entirely supported by magic, whether it is a stranger or a Night King, even the muscles are woven of magic, and they will inevitably leak magic when they do violent movements, and it is this subtle energy fluctuation that allows Melisandre to detect the enemy's movements in an instant.

"Squat!"

The last time I saw the Night King, she was pushed by Egg to save his life, this time the witch would not make the same mistake again, she grabbed the man next to her, and pulled him, who understood the seriousness of the matter and was quite cooperative, to hide behind the battlements and a row of shield-raising soldiers, and then ...... "boom" With a loud bang, the enemy's attack smashed into the battlements, cracking the entire stone battlements dozens of centimeters thick from the city wall, knocking down the nearest shield-raising soldier at once, and the flying debris also hit the other shields nearby, crackling and making a sound.

It was as if the scene was being bombarded by small-caliber artillery, and without the battlements to stop it, Iger had no doubt that this attack would have been able to penetrate the shield-raising soldier and even have the strength to kill himself. But he didn't have time to feel the power of the enemy's attack, let alone investigate whether the enemy's attack was aimed at Melisandre or himself, so he immediately asked in a loud voice, "Where!?"

"A little north in the direction of your second arrow, but ...... Damn, a thousand feet away!" Melisandre replied in a desperate voice.

A thousand feet away, more than three hundred meters, it is indeed far beyond the range of any wooden bow of this era. However, Egger invested a lot of material resources to purchase and imitate high-performance stone throwers, and ordered operators to use accuracy as the main range in training, and even deliberately held a skill competition to test their training level, isn't it just to prepare for the moment when the range of arrows is insufficient and you need to snipe the enemy at a longer distance?

The failure of Long Jing's ability to kill the enemy almost made this series of arrangements a bamboo basket for water, but now, the two "Dragon Steel Explosive Bombs" will be the last opportunity for the elite "artillery soldiers" of Houguan Town to exert their light and heat and create history. After Egger asked Bran about the location of the Night King, he brought this section of the wall with not only the two marksmen Angay and Theon, but also the two best casters of the whole land!

"Stone thrower, Longgang blast bomb preparation, distance of one thousand and one hundred feet, cut the lead short!"

"In place, ready to go!"

Before she could explain to Melisandre, Egg pulled out a third Lightbringer and approached her again: "Enchantment!"

The unquestionable tone made the red-robed woman subconsciously obey the order, and another blinding light lit up on the top of the wall, and Iger shot out without delay in the direction that Melisandre had previously reported.

The magic flare once again illuminated the enemy army outside the wall to the northwest of Houguan Town, and it could be clearly seen that the tide of ghouls that had been standing still outside the fire was rushing towards Houguan Town like an ant colony at the same time that the Night King launched his attack on the wall.

"Isn't that the direction?!"

Melisandre was so nervous at this moment that she almost stammered: "Poor...... Almost!"

"Aim for the direction where this arrow lands, ignite and fire!"

Thousands of training sessions have made the operators of the stone throwing machine proficient, two fuses that have been cut short to the expectation of air explosions are lit by torches, and in the sound of two throwing arms that are almost one, the two limited-edition spherical weapons with different contents are no different from the dragon crystal bombs, and the only limited edition spherical weapons with different contents fly out in response, chasing the lightbringer that has landed in front of them.
