Chapter 427: Hunting Strange Ghosts!

The Shadow Tower blew up.

It's literally fried.

The flames of the explosion were clearly visible for several miles, and the shock wave generated spread eastward along the ice wall of the Great Wall, causing a slight "ice avalanche" along a long section of the ice wall, shaking off dozens of tons of unstable ice chips from the surface.

This explosion destroyed the first and second floors of the Great Wall staircase on the Shadow Tower, a total of more than ten meters high, and the lamp oil stacked in advance on the third platform had also been ignited into flames and crumbling...... And Colin, who had a severed palm on the fifth-story platform at a height of forty meters, also tearfully led his subordinates to retreat to the top of the wall, and began to destroy the staircase in the middle.

The battle between the Grand Canyon and the western end of the Great Wall is already in suspense and is about to come to an end, but the battle at the easternmost end of the Great Wall, which is hundreds of miles away, has also been carried out at a similar stage.

......

The defenders of Donghaiwang lost one person on the top of the wall and most of the soldiers in the de-icing team at the moment of the ice storm, and did not join a large number of defenders who were withdrawn from the front line of the canyon, and the combat personnel were slightly smaller than the Shadow Tower. Fortunately, the Ghoul Eastern Route Army, which stepped on the ice and crossed the sea, was also low-matched: only one-fifth of the number of the Night King's large army, less than 20,000, and did not have heavy siege weapons such as mammoths and giants...... As a result, this evenly matched battle began earlier than the Battle of the Shadow Tower, but it lasted longer, until the two wraugls who led the team could no longer bear the losses of the ghouls, and used magic to help destroy the defenders' wildfire defenses, and the ghouls finally climbed the wall and stormed the fortress with difficulty.

The same heavy snowfall, the same fires everywhere, the ghouls attacking on the east road are mostly transformed by humans, humanoid ghouls as the basic troops, the night watchmen have long been familiar with their combat effectiveness, so even if they successfully break through the wall, they still failed to produce a crushing advantage, as the reinforcements from the beacon tower and the sable hall arrived one after another to put into the battlefield, the battle within the fortress walls was in full swing, and it was a little stalemate, so that many commanders had the feeling of "drumming up and hoping to recapture the fortress".

The soldiers of the book-fetching team, who had just arrived less than a day ago and were loyal to the Dragon Queen, also managed to find the local quartermaster after some brainless fooling, and half-begged and half-rushed to equip themselves with dragon crystal spears and arrows, and at this moment they were following the red-robed monk Machiro through the alley in the chaotic fortress, and stopped Carter Pike, who was hurrying to the direction of the stairs with a dozen soldiers.

"Commander!" Marchiro shouted, "I've identified two servants of the Cold...... This is the location of the strange ghosts you are talking about, please bring someone with me, and we can join forces to hunt them down!"

"Lao Tzu is on a more important mission, I don't have time to hunt with you, Your Excellency Priest!" Carter roared, if it weren't for the tall and majestic monk in the red robe, and dozens of innocent people standing behind him, he would have pushed him away and continued to hurry, "Get out of the way!"

A moment ago, Commander Donghaiwang, like many of his subordinates, had the illusion that he could recapture the fortress, and even took the lead in counter-charging several times, but although a single humanoid ghoul was not a huge threat in the face of restrained weapons, they were still slowly but non-stop encroaching on the entire fortress. In the most heavily attacked place, the defensive line had even shrunk to the middle of the fortress, only two or three hundred meters away from the stairs.

It was only at this time that Carter Pike, who had finally killed a cool person and had even hung up the lottery, came back to his senses, remembered the key content of the plan that required the destruction of the ladder, and hurriedly ran towards the direction of the Great Wall with a team of soldiers, which was the encounter and confrontation with Macchiro and his party at this moment.

"If you insist on retreating, please hand over those light messengers to us and deal with them on the down!" Machiro insisted without flinching, and even stretched out his right hand, slightly consuming his magic power, creating a floating flame in his palm to show that he was not a god with no real skills in one mouth: "I know we met on the first day, but I have a way to help you retake the fortress and save the lives of those brothers who are still alive, please trust me!"

This undoubted display of magic immediately shocked Carter, and he paused for a moment, and turned his head to look at Ein Immet, who was carrying the dragon steel arrows in this fortress: "Ain, you take two reliable brothers to follow this red-clothed fellow, and get a blaster!" Remember, I'm on the third floor of the stairs, if the ghouls and not you appear in my field of vision first, I'll light the stairs, and go to hell don't blame me for not waiting for you!"

"Yes, sir!"

With a body of ability, and also equipped with a magic weapon that is said to be able to shoot strange ghosts, but he didn't even know where the target was all night, the commander of the East Sea Lookout Rangers Ain Imet had already held back the fire in his belly, and at this moment, with Carter's permission, he was naturally refreshed, and happily joined Machiro's team with two of his best cronies.

The two gangs parted ways, one rushing towards the staircase near the Great Wall, while the other rushed towards the nearest wall to the south, against the scattered escapees and evacuees.

The direction of the ghouls' attack was to climb the stairs of the Great Wall, and the ghost hunting team turned around to avoid the enemy's main attack, and made a bloody path between the burning houses and alleys. Due to the correct choice of route, they did not encounter many enemies. Ghouls who have been resurrected as puppets by the Alien are slightly stronger in terms of stamina, speed, and strength than they were when they were alive, but they are not difficult to deal with when the human side is equipped with restrained weapons...... However, the real horror of these creatures in the cramped environment of the buildings inside the fortress is that you never know from which corners, which turns, crossings, or even rooftops above your head will pop up and cause casualties to your team.

However, all these difficulties, with a high-ranking Red God priest taking the lead, all ceased to exist.

As a servant of Rahlo, the Red God Priest, who is proficient in fire magic, has a keen sense of ghouls controlled by cold magic, and can detect their presence from afar. Under Machiro's reminder, the Strange Hunt Squad bypassed the large strands and annihilated the small ones, and every time they engaged, the Unsullied Ones armed with dragon crystal spears could stab each approaching ghoul to the ground as cleanly as a stake, and even if the occasional fish slipped through the net, it would be easily dealt with by Maciro.

Contrary to what most people might think, the Red God Priest didn't use some kind of spell to blow up or ignite the ghouls with a "bang" or turn them into a ball of fire - although he could do it, it would be a waste of magic. Macchiro's actual method is to release a pure fire attribute magic blast and pierce the ghouls' bodies, directly dispersing or neutralizing the cold magic infused by the ghosts in the latter's bodies, severing their magical connection with the ghosts at the root, and turning them back into cold corpses.

The principle of his killing of ghouls is actually the same as that of Dragon Crystal, except that without the carrier of obsidian, the attack range is a little shorter.

And so, the onlookers saw the sight - Macchiro raised his hand and squeezed his hands, snapped his fingers, and sometimes did not even move his body, and in the midst of the scuffle, scattered ghouls suddenly appeared from the shadows of the corner and approached the crowd to take advantage of the situation, causing casualties, and fell down like empty sacks.

The Red God Priest is not suppressed by magic in the Great Wall, this is the most critical final battle, and he does not need to save mana.

In this way, they rushed to the passage by the wall. The soldiers guarding the wall have all been withdrawn, but thankfully, the ghouls will jump directly from the other side into the fortress after climbing over the wall, and will not come to find the passage under the wall, the road they pass through is empty, except for the still burning ghouls and the corpses of the Night's Watch soldiers who are killed in battle and do not know when they will be transformed and get back up, there are not many enemies in the way.

This was the outskirts of the fortress, the first place to be lost, but the enemy was nowhere to be found...... I went up to the wall and carefully looked out, and sure enough, in addition to the scorched black that was still smoking all over the ground and a small number of ghoul remnants still moving under the wall, the spectacular scene of the previous mountain of corpses and corpses and crowds of people had disappeared - not only because the number of ghouls attacking Donghaiwang was only more than 10,000, but it also meant that all the ghouls outside the wall had rushed into the fortress at this moment!

"Priest, are you sure the spirits are outside the walls, and won't they follow their men into the fortress?"

"No, they are also afraid of a sneak attack in a complex environment, and most of them will stay outside the walls and wait for the ghouls to capture the entire fortress and clean up the remnants of humanity before entering the city to receive the loot. ”

Although he said it categorically without hesitation, in fact, Machiro was only guessing - he was looking for the enemy through magic induction, but when searching for targets and not casting spells, the strange ghosts were actually not obvious in his magic sense, and he also took advantage of the moment when the enemy consumed a lot of magic power to forcibly extinguish the flames outside the wall to determine their location. During the time that they came to find them, did the aliens move their places and change places...... He wasn't sure.

However, it is better to try your luck at the location you sensed for the first time than to admit defeat or look aimlessly.

Everyone lowered their bodies and followed Macchiro under the cover of the battlements, spitting white heat with every step forward, and after advancing a few hundred meters, Macchiro finally stopped, crouched behind the wall and ordered in Valyrian to one of the innocent people beside him: "This is it, you look outside, is there anything unusual?"

The Unsullied One frowned suspiciously: What is an anomaly? For them who followed the Mother of Dragons from across the Narrow Sea, what they saw and heard after setting foot on the land of Westeros was very abnormal, especially everything after landing in the port of Donghaiwang - he didn't know what the strange ghost looked like, and even if he did, how should he report it?

Thinking about it, the instinct to carry out the order still made him obediently straighten up and look out of the wall.

In the darkness, a sound of breaking the air hit the door in front of him, and in the next second, he poked out the entire head of the battlement, even with his head and helmet, all of them were beaten into a cloud of blood mist by the flying attackers like a headshot from a large-caliber sniper rifle, and the mutilated corpse fell crookedly, and the blood sprayed Marchiro in the face.
