Chapter 446: The Dust Settles

"Missed!" Theon Greyjoy cursed, pulling out a second dragon steel arrow from the quiver behind his back and putting it back on the bow, "This guy is so agile that he can dodge arrows in the dark, how are we going to deal with it?"

(You can't pretend to die?) Ygritte rolled her eyes and muttered disdainfully. If it weren't for the fact that Theon and her man are adoptive brothers, and she does have some ability, I'm afraid she would have been unable to help but sneer - this babbling guy deliberately shouted loudly, didn't he just want everyone to know that the arrow just now was not shot crooked, but was dodged by the enemy?

"If it can dodge, shoot the dragon first, didn't you see that thing has opened its eyes just now, and the corpse has changed!"

After that, the female archer didn't pay much attention to Theon, silently took the arrow and bent the bow, and quietly and decisively released her first arrow.

Believing that her marksmanship and equipment were inferior, Ygritte didn't bother to aim at the stranger, but instead aimed at the middle of the dragon's largest torso. The well-made Light Messenger easily crossed a distance of dozens of meters, and steadily shot into the shoulder blades of the white dragon, and when the buzzing of the arrow shaft that was exposed outside the dragon's body stopped, the body of the corpse dragon, which had already begun to move, was completely paralyzed, and there was no more sound.

The two arrows killed the threat of the dragon's corpse, but they also annoyed the stranger standing by the dragon, and it turned around and roared in a voice that no one could understand, and the ghouls around it turned around and rushed in their direction.

......

Most of the land-granting army ran for the two dragons that were still alive, except for the one from Castle Black, led by the stronghold commander Jon Snow, who had been shot and killed. In order to be on the safe side, in addition to the three Castle Dark Rangers led by Jeremy Lake, Iger also assigned Theon Greyjoy, Ygritte and Berry Dondelion - the last ten marksmen to win the entire Houguanzhen archery competition, including six people including the second and third place, with only half of the more than thirty Lightbringers left.

Such a luxurious lineup, just to make sure to prevent the birth of the corpse dragon!

"Brothers, line up and prepare for battle!" Jon Snow commanded.

Although the number of this corpse dragon disposal detachment is less than a hundred, they are all Black Castle Rangers, not only are they serious night watchmen, but their combat effectiveness and comprehensive quality are far from being comparable to the average level of the land-giving army, and with enough restraint equipment, even in the face of an enemy three times their size, they do not show any panic at all.

Thoros, who came with the Earl of Black Harbor, pulled out his weapon, grazed it with wildfire and turned it into the well-known "fire sword", and the Black Castle Rangers dressed in black also took out explosive bombs and other props, and a skirmish began not far from the main battlefield.

......

After discussing it, the six marksmen conducted a round of shooting at the strange ghost who tried to resurrect the corpse dragon, but the pale figure was so flexible that he managed to avoid the six arrows, and not only that, but he also leaned down in the next moment, picking up something from the ground, as if he was about to launch a counterattack!

"Damn, I've got one left. Theon muttered in chagrin that he was the runner-up in the archery tournament, but on the night of the Houguan Defense Battle, he had failed to make a win because the fire in the residential area was too fierce, and he was eager to break the zero record...... So he relied on his excellent archery skills to shoot the first arrow in the first place to grab someone's head, who wanted to miss two shots in a row, but at this moment he fell into an embarrassing situation.

In response, most of the other archers, who had only been given two arrows in total, could only roll their eyes in the same way, and began to tacitly ignore him to discuss countermeasures.

"No matter, let's kill these ghouls first, and then figure out a way!" Jon's mind raced, and he immediately gave the best way he could think of at the moment, pulling out the tile steel sword "Long Claw", and with a wave, he gave the order to fight.

As soon as the words fell, the enemy's revenge suddenly arrived.

With a whistling sound breaking through the air, Theon, who was inserting the third and final "Lightbringer" he had been assigned back into his quiver and taking out the dragon crystal arrows, was about to deal with the ghouls, and suddenly fell backwards with a muffled thud, and fell straight into the snow.

"Theon?" Jon rushed over and crouched down to help his adoptive brother up, the latter had a bowl-sized hole in his chest, blood gushing out of the cracks in his armor and flesh, and he had known each other for more than ten years, and in an instant it was life and death.

"Watch out for stealth and watch out for projectile attacks from the opposite side!"

Before the warning could reach the battlefield, another flying stone struck, and the left arm of Chief Ranger Jeremy Lake, who had just had time to move half a step away, was broken, leaving only some skin and armor still stuck to his shoulder.

"Don't stand still, everyone who has just shot an arrow moves!" Ygritte, who was a few steps away, almost stopped her heart in fright, but even in this most dangerous moment, her keen instinct as a shooter made her realize that the two who hit first happened to be the two most skilled archers in this team - the opponent was likely to be fighting back according to the trajectory of the arrow from the top to the bottom according to the archery technique of the first round of attack - she was not attacked, but because her skills were inferior!

"Don't stand in the clearing, go into the crowd!"

The third Castle Black Ranger who was attacked followed Ygritte's advice and left his position narrowly avoiding the flying rocks, and all the archers leaned down and drew their melee weapons to join the other soldiers in the battle against the ghouls.

Jon took advantage of the chaos to hand over the incapacitated Theon and Jeremy's dragon steel arrows to Ygritte, and threw himself into the battle to destroy the ghouls with the steel sword.

***

It was a small-scale, but high-intensity battle.

Explosive bombs, wildfires, and even dragon crystals and various Valyrian steel weapons, this corpse dragon disposal team has an ultra-luxurious configuration, under the effect of all kinds of equipment, the rangers who have been fighting with the dead many times inside and outside the Great Wall rely on each other to fight with each other to kill a battle loss ratio far superior to the northern army, only more than 20 casualties to destroy the more than 200 ghouls who protect the dragon slayer. And the strange ghosts who used to attack the marksmen with flying stones were simply randomly named after not being attacked by dragon steel arrows for a period of time and losing their counterattack targets.

Under the onslaught of flying rocks and frozen ground, soldiers fell silently or screaming—killing or seriously wounding nearly a dozen Rangers with the power of a single ghost, forcing the rest to rely on zigzag snakeskins to move and sway from side to side to find peace of mind.

The enemy of this suspected new Alien Leader looks like the other Aliens, but he has shown great combat effectiveness.

After testing with a dragon crystal bomb confirmed that it was still covered with ice armor. Jon orders all of his soldiers to attack him at the same time, pestering him to interfere with his movements—the marksmen are on the sidelines to strike when they lose their balance or get thwarted in their movements, killing them in one fell swoop!

"I'll force it with the flaming sword later, and you can shoot it with the Lightbringer!" Soros said to Dondelien with a snort of wine, "The Lord of Light has guided us to the Great Wall for this moment, and we must be hit!"

The Earl of Black Harbor nodded silently but firmly, and watched as the red-robed monk held his flaming weapon and the remaining forty or so night watchmen outflanked the strange ghost with his back against the white dragon.

The first group of soldiers charged at the target with dragon crystal spears, and the attacks from four or five directions at the same time made it impossible for the enemy to dodge or block at all...... But it didn't need to: the chief priest of the cold god drew his ice sword, and after reinforcing the ice armor with the remaining magic power, he slashed the spear handle of the oncoming night watchman with a sword, and even opened a big hole in him, relying on the ice armor to eat other attacks that he didn't have time to dodge, and in the sound of the obsidian hitting the ice armor and breaking apart, the last strange ghost was like a rock in the eye of the wind, no matter how many human attacks were immovable, it easily hacked and slashed several soldiers, not only unscathed, but also made the dragon steel arrow holders who were waiting to shoot on the sidelines have no way to start。

"Get out of the way, with the steel sword, entangle him!" The dragon crystal spear is made of obsidian spear tip fixed at the tip of the wooden handle, which is easy to use to kill ghouls, but it is often impossible to stop even a single move when it is used against the stranger, Jon who found this shouted back to the soldiers, and stabbed at the stranger with his long claws.

The strange light on the weapon in the Commander of Castle Black alerted the stranger, and instead of letting the long claws slash at him, he raised his sword to block, and was stunned at the sound of a crisp sound: the ice sword cracked in the blow. This means that the weapon in the hand of the human on the opposite side is not only stronger than the Demon Ice, but also contains the power that can destroy the Demon Ice!

Not only do these humans have arrows that can shoot them from a distance, but they also have swords that can threaten them in close combat!

Jon was equally shocked, but more than that, a strong sense of fate came over him: four years after he had seen Weima Royce's "broken sword", he had finally experienced first-hand the power of the Wraiths to smash swords.

Uncle Bunyan, I will avenge you!

Resisting the soreness from the tiger's mouth and arms, Jon held the sword with both hands, relying on what he had learned in his life and all his strength, and entangled his opponent to the death.

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

"Click!"

The Chief Priest of the Cold God inherited the inheritance of the Night King, and his strength was far superior to that of ordinary Wraiths, even if he was inferior to his weapons, but the human side had no intention of letting them engage in a fair duel: after a few successive hard hits, the cracks on the ice sword quickly spread and expanded, and it was about to disintegrate, and it had to take a few steps back to find a respite so that it could use its magic to repair its weapons - but Thoros, holding the "Fire Sword", trickly blocked his retreat and slashed the back of the Wraith with a sword.

The steel sword was still a steel sword coated with wildfire, and it should not have caused any damage to the alien ghosts wrapped in the ice armor, but the chief cold priest clearly felt the hot heat on the sword from this blow. As its mana continued to drain as it condensed its ice armor and repaired its weapons, it was no longer able to maintain its body's absolute cold temperature, and it began to face the threat of flames.

With a low roar, the strange ghost turned around and grabbed Soros's fire sword, and with the ice armor that covered his fingers, not only was it not cut, but it was still in full view of everyone - not only did the flames that burned with wildfire be extinguished, but also the steel sword itself also made a penetrating stabbing sound like cracking glass in the next second.

After a crackling sound, the strange ghost forcibly extinguished Soros's flaming sword and crushed it.

This is supposed to be an extremely powerful deterrent, but the more you move, the more flaws there are.

"Get out of the way!"

Ygritte reminded aloud, and the remaining four marksmen who were staring at the battlefield from twenty meters away had completed their division of labor after some deliberation - taking advantage of the stranger's retreat to avoid the long claws in Jon's hand, and then turning back to destroy the fire sword in Thoros's hand - after two consecutive movements and a brief moment of froze, they shot their own arrows as agreed.

Jon heard the shout and stopped, and the red-robed monk who had lost his weapon also quickly jumped backwards and escaped from the range of the strange ghost's attack, and the four light messengers who were distributed up and down, left and right, locking all the enemy's retreats, quickly broke through the air, and the chief cold priest unwillingly swung his sword to block one, and then turned his body to dodge two, and was finally shot in the thigh by the fourth.

With a sound of "ping", the ice sword in the hand of the strange ghost shattered in response, and the time was jammed so accurately that it was difficult to judge whether it was shattered because it had blocked a dragon steel arrow or because its owner had been shot. The strange ghost that was hit by an arrow froze in place like a demon, but it did not appear the typical phenomenon of "instant shattering, melting and vaporization" mentioned in the previous report - not because of its high resistance, but because the arrow that hit it was a fake made of additional fragments of tile steel in order to make up the number of "seventy-seven", although it also contained fire attribute energy, it was not enough to kill cold magic life in an instant.

But Jon didn't give the battle a chance to change again, and in the next second, he decisively bullied himself and used the full tile steel sword in his hand to unleash a fierce sweep, ending the war once and for all.
