"Ghouls have crossed the outer walls in all three directions, east, south, and north, and the battle has extended from the top of the wall to the residential area. As the champions and runners-up of the Archery Tournament in Houguanzhen, sharpshooters Angel and Theon Greyjoy were taken by Egger with them on a mission to snipe the Night King. But now the target is nowhere to be seen, and they who should have played the role of heroes have suddenly become deaf ears - ornaments. "If the Commander-in-Chief allows, why don't we take the 'Lightbringer' to the place of distress to help in the battle and relieve the pressure on the Night's Watch brethren?"

"Can you find the Stranger without me leading the way?" Melisandre couldn't hide her eagerness even in her cold and unhurried tone, and she looked solemnly at the Child of Prophecy she was assisting, "Didn't the Lord of Light give you any new instructions? Should I stay here and wait for the Night King to show up, or should I help the defenders deal with the other Strangers who might invade the city?"

Iger took a deep breath and instead of answering Melisandre's question, he turned to the side: "Count Berry, Lord Soros, please ask the two lords to lead a team of people to escort Angel and Theon to the city with the Lightbringer to help. Harvey, go back to the Inner Fort at once and relay my order: let Bran use the crow to guide all the archers with dragon steel arrows to the location of the strangers, if they dare to break into Houguan Town!" The only way out now is to stick to the original plan and try to eliminate the Night King!

"Melisandre, don't you have any magic tricks to find the Night King directly?"

"There are indeed active ways to find living things. But firstly, this spell is aimed at living people and is not suitable for use in a sea of people, and secondly, it is ...... If the enemy who actively detects has stronger mana than me, he can completely hide the past, and even reverse my detection magic to harm me!"

"What about the idea that led him out? The last time you cast a spell at Castle Black to fuel the fire, which attracted an attack from the strange spirits, can you repeat the old trick and take the initiative to reveal your position and lure the Night King to attack you?"

Theoretically, of course, but this is undoubtedly a risk of the life of the person who took the lead, if the person concerned volunteered, there is naturally no problem, how can it be suggested by others?

Of course, Egger doesn't even know this bit of human sophistication, but it's a pity that he can't do magic himself, so he can't be this hero. Thankfully, trust had been built between him and Melisandre, and the Lady in the Red Robe would not take this abrupt offer as an offense or want her to die...... Not to mention, if she sacrificed one to win the entire war for Lakhlo, as a loyal servant, she would dare to jump into the sea of corpses without saying a word.

"But what can I do to trick the Night King into attacking me?and, if I succeed, I must not be killed by him before I can live to tell you where he is!"

"Shield!" Egg shouted loudly, asking the soldiers who stayed around to fetch the thick wooden shields that blocked the arrows, put them up in a row in front of him to chat for comfort, and then began to make up his mind with a solemn face, "Of course it can't be a random spell, but it must make the Night King feel threatened or pressured, tonight the ghouls have not been sending to death in the fire, which means that the enemy has begun to value the basic troops under his control, can you use some powerful magic to eliminate a considerable number of ghouls at once, and force the Night King to make a move?"

"Powerful magic?" Melisandre shook her head helplessly, she really hated to explain spells to laymen repeatedly, but unfortunately the person in front of her was the child of prophecy, "Magic is not what you think, contact spells are usually easy to cast, but even a little bit in the air can be much more difficult...... The mana cost and cast difficulty increase exponentially with distance, and it is not difficult to kill dozens or hundreds of ghouls at once, as long as you are willing to spend mana - but only if I am in close contact with the ghouls. Now that little prophet of yours said that the Night King is in the northwest direction, but the ghouls in the northwest direction have not attacked the wall, and they want to deal with the ghouls standing outside the wall of fire from a distance of tens or hundreds of meters, and they can burn a few to the sky, such a loss, I am afraid it will be difficult to arouse the anger and counterattack of any enemy!"

Iger honestly admits that when he mentions "powerful magic", he has in mind the spectacular genres that can only be seen in games and movies and TV shows like "meteorite falling from the sky" and "burning the sky". Obviously, such a low-magic world could not support such a spell - and he had no choice but to believe Melisandre's claims without knowing anything about it...... After closing his mouth and meditating for a moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly pierced the fog of thought.

"Remember what you did to my sword?"

The witch's blank expression showed that she hadn't followed the train of thought: "What?"

"It's that you secretly attached dozens of powerful light spells to my sword without permission, and almost blinded my eyes......"

"Come to think of it, what, aren't your eyes well?"

"Good morning. What I'm trying to ask is - you later said that Dragon Steel is a far better carrier of magic than ordinary steel, so can you do the same with Lightbringer's arrows and make it extremely bright?"

"Of course, a better mana carrier means it's going to be easier and better, what do you want?"

"Light up the Lightbringer, and I shoot in the direction of the Night King. ”

"Chance?" Melisandre was stunned, "Is there anything wrong with you?

In order to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians along the Great Wall, Egger sent twenty light messengers to various fortresses, and last night...... To be precise, it was temporarily decided to make Longgang explosive bombs in the early hours of this morning, and twenty more were consumed, and there were now only more than thirty of the seventy-seven light messengers in the genuine and high-imitation ones, and more than twenty of the sharpshooters assigned to the various reserves, and a few more were taken away by Angai and Theon, and there were still five in Egger's hands...... Melisandre is not exaggerating when she says "there's only so much left".

Of course, he didn't expect to hit the Night King by lighting up the Lightbringer with a random arrow, but he wanted to show his strength in this form, provoke the enemy by the way, and provoke the Night King to reveal his position!

The enemies are emotionless magical creatures, and normally, Egg doesn't move his mind in the odd direction of "provoking them". But now that the situation forced him to come up with some unusual tricks: the Xenomorphs are not simple machines, but complex creatures. And as long as it is a living being, it is impossible to really think without emotion and rationally while having a high level of intelligence!

Whether it was his carelessness a few years ago that he relied on a dragon crystal dagger to successfully fight back, or Machiro successfully sniped and killed two strange ghosts who had killing intent and chose to face them in the East China Sea, it was undoubtedly confirmed.

This trick is at least three or four percent sure that it will work!

"I am the commander-in-chief and the son of prophecy, do as I say!" The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Egg has no time to explain his plans in detail, so he can only pick up the purple shirt wood longbow with one hand, and draw out a dragon steel arrow with an unknown number in the other, and hand the tip of the arrow to Melisandre under her nose: "Enchantment! I just want it to light up for a moment, but before it hits the ground, the brighter the better!"

Melisandre no longer argued, but held the arrow with both hands, pressed her index finger and middle finger to the arrowhead, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and after a few silent incantations, the dragon steel arrow suddenly lit up like a high-powered LED light that suddenly turned on, stabbing all the soldiers on the wall section of the fence to look sideways, and had to turn their faces away so as not to hurt their eyes.

A similar effect had been seen on Egg's ordinary steel longsword, but that time Melisandre had created a terrifying glow by using the massive amount of magic released by cremating Aemon's corpse, and this time, the witch had only cast a spell once, and it was already too bright to look at - the reason for this was that the magic was released on top of the extremely demonic dragon steel, and it was set to "exhaust all energy in half a minute" This magic bulb is close to the extreme, both in terms of efficiency and power!

As if holding a military searchlight, although he had already slanted his face, Iger still had to squint his eyes to avoid being stabbed by the light on the arrowhead, and after holding the frighteningly bright lightbringer in his hand for a second, Egger leaned his face and put it on the string, and opened his bow at an angle of nearly 40 degrees, letting go of his hand in the northwest direction of his feelings, and shot this large ball of light towards the group of ghouls in the distance with a tense sound.

......

The shining Lightbringer Sixty-Four swept over the ghoul sea twenty or thirty meters above the wall as if it were a full moon, and the white light reflected the heads of the ghouls who were densely packed in situ below...... After flying aimlessly over a distance of nearly two hundred meters, he fell headlong into the outer edge of the corpse in the distance, penetrating a scrawny half-skeletal ghoul and still having the strength to nail into the body of a second wraith, before finally stopping.

Even in the belly of the fallen ghouls, it still radiates a magical light with strength and pride, faintly shining in the sea of corpses.

＊＊＊

Even the gods can't use their inexhaustible magic, and it is indeed tactically effective to create a cryogenic field to disable the human wildfire, but there will be a moment when it will not be able to sustain it. After discovering that it was impossible to destroy the human defense line in a short window to break through Houguan Town, the Night King temporarily changed his order: let the ghosts of each section of spells take advantage of the chaos among the ghouls to cross the wall, venture into the city, fight within the wall, and "develop the lower line" while causing damage and casualties, relying on the way of internal flowering, bypassing the hard shell of the defenders of the city wall, and taking the town with as little loss as possible.

As the strangers responsible for curbing the wildfire crossed the wall one by one into Houguan Town and stopped casting spells, the wall of fire that was finally able to ignite lit up and completed the defensive circle, the scrambling defenders did not react for a while, and in a panic, they even lit up the wildfire canister that had been overturned on the top of the wall during the previous bloody battle, so that the wall that was almost lost also ignited a fire, and the raging flames wrapped the corpses of the two sides of the ghouls who died in the battle for the slopes and gaps made of flesh and blood in all of them in light and heat- Not only did it prevent the defenders from getting close to recovering the fallen walls, but it also denied the help of the unanimate ghouls who had already invaded the city.

Coincidentally, this happened less than ten seconds after Egg shot the Lightbringer.

The defenders of the entire north-west wall saw this spectacular scene, and they did not know that it was a provocative shot by Iger in desperation, but they only saw that the commander-in-chief, at the height of the battle, shot a large ball of dazzling light into the sea of ghouls in the distance, and the enemy who hit him fell to the ground, and then, billowing yellow-green flames suddenly appeared from the gap in the wall of fire, which had never been ignited.

The "unconscious" and herd effect played an unexpectedly positive role at this moment, obviously still in danger, but the walls surrounding Houguan Town...... There was a wave of inspiring roars and cheers that seemed to have been triumphant.

......

With this inexplicable cheer, the giant Want Want smashed a corpse wolf to pieces with a single punch.

Due to the narrow width of the wall is not enough to spread out the formation to play a numerical advantage, and the defenders' counterattacks and explosives are also quite ferocious, the ghouls who had previously passed through the gap in the wall of fire failed to continue to expand the victory in the wall, and they no longer fought with the frontline humans, but chose to jump off the wall and attack the town of Houguan.

Then they collided with the soldiers of the second line of defense, who were already waiting not far under the wall.

Living giants have low levels of intelligence, slow movements, and extremely poor stamina, and are unable to adapt to training, marching, and protracted warfare, and while they may seem scary, anyone who wants to turn them into soldiers as their hole cards will be a huge disappointment. But in a defensive battle with fixed positions, they can do wonders: in the pre-battle arrangement, dozens of adult giants have been grouped together with the new land-giver soldiers and evenly arranged around the command sub-divisions, which can be used as soon as the enemy crosses the outer walls and enters the city.

At this moment, the giant Wangwang, who was arranged in the middle of this intersection, was firmly blocked at the intersection like a sculpture that could move and attack, and the soldiers around him, the barricades and rooftops that had been lit...... Together, they formed a defensive line that could be attacked and defended, combining active and passive defense, and stubbornly blocked the intention of the ghouls who jumped off the wall to attack the center of Houguan Town.

With an IQ similar to that of an eight- or nine-year-old child, the giants were able to distinguish friend from foe, and the thick cloth or animal fur they were draped in to shield them from ordinary ghouls, and their long, powerful arms like battering rams were their reliable weapons. Even without the Dragon Crystal equipment, the giant can easily make even heavily armed ghouls instantly ineffective. Surrounded by these trusty giants, the human soldiers of the second line of defense only need to use the dragon crystal spear to mend the ghouls who are constantly being smashed and torn apart by the giants, and although there are no explosive bombs to use, it is much easier than the front-line soldiers who are fighting in the fire to recapture the gap in the wall.

However, more and more ghouls poured in along the streets, and the soldiers finally had to join the fight instead of just picking up leaks, but in the end, the giants still shared most of the pressure...... Just as they were buoyed by the headless cheers coming from the wall, and their fighting spirits were high, a pale and agile individual suddenly jumped out of the ghoul group and slammed into the giant's arms.

Wangwang, who was knocked down, let out a thunderous roar, and immediately retracted his arms after stabilizing his body, holding the enemy in front of his chest with both hands, and was about to pinch and squeeze it as usual, but found that the pale little man in his hand was as hard as iron for some reason, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hurt it in the slightest, and he was about to throw it to let the dwarf humans around him find a way to deal with it, but there was a tingling pain in his chest, and a strong chill that he had never experienced quickly spread to his whole body, and soon flooded his brain, making his eyes black, and he fell backwards and hit the ground with a loud bang。

It was only then that the pale being who had plunged into the giant's arms unhurriedly rose from the massive corpse that had fallen to the ground, drew the translucent sword that was inserted in the center of the latter's chest, and looked at the remaining humans with dark blue eyes that were noticeably brighter than the ghouls.

"Strange ghosts!"

The soldier who recognized the enemy's identity first screamed, shot a dragon crystal arrow, and then turned around and fled to the next intersection - their team was not equipped with dragon steel arrows that could shoot through the ice armor of the alien ghost, and in the face of such a strong enemy with no possibility of victory, it was natural to resolutely retreat to the headquarters with the "Lightbringer" to protect themselves!

It's not an escape, it's part of a plan!

The wraiths taunted the fleeing human defenders in a shrill voice, and instead of ordering the ghouls to pursue, they formed a circle around themselves to protect them.

The wall of fire has been fully formed, and the wall has been recaptured by the defenders. Now, the eight strange ghosts and thousands of ghouls who have entered Houguan Town have to rely on their own strength to open up the situation.

I was lucky, as soon as I came in, I met a giant, and after turning it into a puppet, one can be used to top dozens of people, and it can also be used to block arrows at critical moments, which is perfect!

Surrounded by the surrounding ghouls, the strange ghost put his hand on the corpse of the giant, which had begun to cool, and began to inject the little cold magic that was left, preparing to wake up the big guy and let it accompany him to make a big fuss in this Houguan Town.

The larger the creature, the more cold mana it takes to transform into an undead golem...... But in general, the magic of multi-spending is worth the money. But as the energy slowly seeped into the giant's body, the strange ghost was soon surprised to find that there was a large amount of fire attribute magic in the big guy's body for some reason, and the cold magic power injected by himself was completely neutralized like a mud cow entering the sea. Empty and drain the magic power, but the result is useless!

What's going on?

This is not entirely impossible, as it can happen if the corpse is of magical origin, whether born or acquired. Typical examples are: the magic dragons, the lackeys of Lahlo, the weird guys who spend their days connected to the trees, etc...... As long as the remaining magic in their bodies is dispelled and then injected into cold magic to transform into puppets, they will become extremely powerful ghouls when they are magical creatures in their lifetime.

But, how could a commonplace giant have the magic of the fire attribute in his body?

The frightened ghost immediately turned to the corpse of another human next to him, and found that the exact same situation was the same!

With a sigh, the strange ghost who had never known what he was afraid of also felt fear for the first time in the face of this unheard-of strange situation - if he had almost exhausted his magic power, and had lost the ability to transform the enemies he killed into puppets, wouldn't he have become a super soldier to be slaughtered in Houguan Town, which was surrounded by powerful enemies and full of artifacts?
