Chapter 1009: Xiqiao Wang's battle against the strange ghosts
A strange ghost stood on the opposite side of the chain bridge, with a long sword in his back, his face covered in frost, and a pair of blue eyes like a clear starry sky.
Beside him, the ghouls were agile and climbed down the cliffs. Some of the ghouls climbed up the ropes, using their hands and feet together, and climbed over as fast as they could.
On the stone wall of the Grand Canyon, on the side of the Night Watch, more ghouls and ants hung all over the cliffs.
The path out of the wild people was crowded with ghouls, and from time to time, a strange ghost rode on a horse, as if he were a general commanding a large army.
Ghoul beasts such as bears, wolves, shadow lynx, and elk are also crowded into the ranks of ghouls.
Looking at the castle from the west bridge, the two hundred warriors were alarmed, and they all got up and put on armor. The clerks were also woken up, blacksmiths, horsemen, dogs, builders, the clerks in charge of hunting, the castle masters, all were awakened.
In front of the weapons hall, two centurions were handing out weapons: "All the night watchmen go up to the wall. Centurion Newman Todd shouted.
"Free Folk warriors, go to the ferrata and the tunnels. Free Folk Centurion Becky Harvey shouted.
The warriors took their swords, shields, and javelins, and rushed to their respective places.
*
On the rope, the first ghoul hissed in its throat and crawled like the wind.
On the platform of the iron cable, the door was opened, a brazier was lit, and an arrow tied to the oil was stretched into the brazier, the arrow was not obsidian, and the ghouls were afraid of fire, and burned more easily than the oil.
Obsidian arrows and daggers are meant to be saved for last, mainly against the Aliens. Against ghouls, it's mostly fire.
On the iron cable, the ghoul is a warrior who will never stop advancing, and he glared at a pair of icy blue eyes and quickly climbed over.
"Wait for him to get closer. A freefolk warrior laughed. Although he was smiling, his expression was not relaxed at all.
Whew!
Looking at the castle from the west bridge, three ravens were released, flying towards the Black Castle, the East Sea and the nearest Shadow Tower.
On the iron cable, the ghouls are getting closer.
"Steady!" Becky Harvey came, shouting.
Several freedfolk warriors arrived, their swords unsheathed. Becky Harvey uses a tomahawk, a very well-made tomahawk.
On the top of the city wall, barrels of fire oil were being moved out of the storage hut one by one, and the fire trays were lit one by one, and the huge crossbow arrows were also erected, and there were only two.
On the platform of the chain bridge, Becky Harvey tightened the axe in his hand and shouted, "Release!"
The drawn bow shot out with flames, striking the ghoul in the head. The ghoul slammed down, suffocated the momentum of the forward rush, and then fell. Roars wafted through the night sky.
On the platform of the chain bridge, the soldiers erupted in cheers. In the cheers, there was still a lot of nervousness.
In the back, the second ghoul and the third ghoul still crawled over quickly. Unaware of the dangers, never tired ghouls, Becky Harvey shouted, "Let me chop their heads." ”
It's also good to save a rocket.
The second ghoul came quickly, head in front, mouth wide open, hands and feet grasping the ropes, like an agile monkey.
Becky stared at it as the ghouls roared and slashed down with a tomahawk, smashing the ghoul's head to pieces. A smell of corpses rushed over me, and it was disgusting.
The third ghoul pressed on the rope and soared into the air, and with two roars, two rockets shot out, hitting the ghoul in the chest, and the ghoul roared and crashed backwards into the canyon.
In the canyon, the roar was dense and getting closer and closer. A horde of ghouls are climbing up. Their swords and axes slashed into the ice wall and climbed up as fast as they could, faster than the most powerful climbers among the Freedfolk warriors.
One by one, the ghouls continued to attack along the chains.
"Cut the ropes. Becky ordered.
Looking down from the iron platform, on the cliffs of the canyon, I don't know how many blue starry eyes there are, swaying in the shadows of the canyon, like fireflies on a summer night. It looks beautiful, but everyone knows that these guys are the most feared ghouls.
So, the swords and axes slashed at the iron ropes embedded in the ice wall on this side.
There are only a limited number of ghouls that can come up on the iron cable, but the ghouls who come up under the entire ice wall, I don't know how many tens of thousands, the roars below are getting closer and closer, more and more, and the iron cable platform connects to a tunnel in the ice wall. The tunnel is open and not blocked. Once the ghouls hit the platform, this is a flaw.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the lock of the iron cable was cut, and the iron cable fell from this side, and all the ghouls on the entire iron cable were carried by the iron rope and swung back to the cliff on the opposite bank, and smashed into pieces. Halfway through, there are quite a few ghouls who fall into the canyon.
The brothers retreated into the tunnel, the crowbar inserted into the three support points of the platform, and in the roar, the platform sizzled, the supporting wooden pillars broke, and more brothers reached out to help, and in the sound of slogans, the platform that was suspended in the air flipped and fell into the canyon, and along the way, countless ghouls were swept down and smashed into pieces.
The momentum of the entire ghoul is also suffocating.
The brothers exited the tunnel, and the clerks' carts of wood and snow came and fell. More than thirty officers, a hundred freeman warriors, poured ice and snow into the tunnel, large tree stumps, stones, and poured water at the same time.
As soon as the water is poured on it, it freezes immediately.
Two wells in the castle kept pumping water to block the tunnel.
More than one hundred and thirty people, non-stop, coming and going, when the first ghoul approached here, the entrance to the entire tunnel had been completely sealed. Several buckets of steaming water poured over it, sealing the last of the gaps.
But the thickness was obviously not enough, and everyone continued to work, carts of ice and snow were pushed in, wooden stakes and stones that had been prepared long ago, and the water brought from the mountain stream was stored in a pool, and when the water from the well was drained, the water in the pool was used, but the distance was twice as farther.
Cartloads of stones and wood, carts of snow in the castle, truckloads of water, buckets of water poured into them. The tunnel, which was plugged up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ghouls who climbed up from the bottom of the canyon gave up their plan to attack through this tunnel, and the ghost king on the opposite side slowly raised his hands to the sky, looking at the night sky, and muttered prayers to the night king and the god of cold. Strange syllables rang out of his mouth.
The ghouls in the canyon, the ghouls on the ice walls, climbed faster.
At the top of the wall, Centurion Newman Todd shouted: "Prepare the oil barrels, hold steady." ”
"My lord, I saw a ghoul. ”
"Ghouls use obsidian arrows. ”
"Let me kill him. An archer said.
"When he gets close, shoot him. Newman shouted.
"My lord, is the flame ineffective against the stranger?"
"It's hard, they're made of ice, but the ghouls are just a little bit. Newman annotated the strangers and ghouls with his own understanding.
Several obsidian arrows were aimed at the stranger.
"Sparingly use arrows, one is enough, and wait for him to get closer. Newman yelled, "Steady." ”
On the ice wall, many ghouls roared and roared.
No matter what is above their heads, they have only one movement: forward.
"It's now, offense. Newman shouted.
Shout!
The obsidian arrow shot out against the ice wall, hitting the ghoul in the head, and boom, the ghoul shattered into a pile of ice chips that scattered into the air.
Woohoo!
There was a rain of rockets from the rockets, and the ghouls fell from their arrows.
"Ho!" the fighters erupted in cheers.
As the battle grew, the warriors' fear of ghouls and strangers was diminishing, imperceptibly, invisibly.
More ghouls began to climb, and there were more ghouls in the second round than in the first round.
"Be careful, this time with a scythe, be sure to wait until they are about to climb up. Hudson, you're in charge of letting go of the scythe. “
On the top of the ice wall, there is a huge scythe that sweeps across the front ice wall, which freezes on the surface of the ice, and is locked with a huge iron chain, as long as the chain is unfastened, the sickle falls, sweeping all the creatures on the ice.
This thing is very powerful, every military fortress is designed to be such one, but it has not been used for a long time, after Lord Will became the commander of the Great Wall, he made every military fortress live in soldiers, and also made each fortress overhaul and test all the mechanical weapons, and the machinery that did not work was repaired.
This is a great battle for the survival of the human race, and Will has done every detail to the extreme.
The ghouls climbed up again, and a second stranger appeared, followed by a third.
"There are too many ghouls, my lord. "North Colin said, 'We need the Shadow Tower's support. “
"The ravens have been released. ”
"But it's the middle of the night, what if the bachelor falls asleep?"
"What do you mean?"
"I suggest sending a Ranger to the Shadow Tower. ”
"Okay, you go down and see if the tunnel blocking work of Captain Becky is complete, let them speed up their movements, and when they are done, they all come up quickly, and then you go to the Shadow Tower and ask for reinforcements. ”
"Yes, sir!"
North Colin immediately descended the city wall along a zigzag wooden staircase, which was built on top of the main tower of the hall.
North Cisco went down the hall and found Becky Centurion, the tunnel was almost blocked, and there was only a small hole left.
The ice wall is so thick that the tunnel that passes through the water becomes a whole with the entire ice wall, blocking the way in and out of the chain road. The West Bridge that the West Bridge looks at has never existed again.
When North Colin had finished his order, he went to the stable and led his horse, and galloped towards the Shadow Tower, fifty miles away.
The Shadow Tower is an important military fortress in the west, there is no natural danger in the canyon, the tunnel is the snow river under the mountain range, and the ghost forest is not far in front, which is the focus of the defense in the west, and the garrison is 2,000 soldiers, which is ten times the strength of the West Bridge Wang.
*
The sky, the moonlight is getting whiter and whiter. In the woods, a sudden sound came from a certain graveyard, and then a hand popped out of the snowdrift, the hand was black and rotten, and the bones were white. Snow and black earth flipped from the ground, another hand came out of the ground, and then a head hung with black carrion, and a pair of blue eyes that stood out in the woods in particular.
Cha!
Not far away, a shadow lynx that had died of starvation due to heavy snow and snow due to the arrival of winter opened its eyes from the ice and snow, a pair of blue eyes.
The shadow lynx slowly got up, shook its body, looked at the sky with ice-blue eyes, and then turned its head to look west. On the road to the west, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard.
The shadow lynx let out a low roar, burst out, and pounced.
North Colin galloped forward on his horse. He felt more and more uneasy, and there was an ominous aura wafting in the air, and the war horse began to be restless, and ran faster.
In front of him and behind him, in the woods on the right, the ominous aura became stronger and stronger. The warhorse was also sensitive, and neighed.
Choke!
Noth Colin unsheathed his sword and shouted, "Who is it? I'm Noth from the West Bridge." “
In the woods, figures appeared, some slowly, but some very quickly.
The war horse stood abruptly, almost knocking North off the warhorse, and on the avenue in front of him, several dark shadows appeared, all of them had a common sign: blue eyes.
North was shocked.
When did the ghouls enter the desperate Great Wall?!
Suddenly the wind rose in the woods, and a huge black shadow rushed out, and the war horse turned around sharply and galloped in the same direction. However, on the way here, several dark shadows also appeared, they had no weapons in their hands, but they all had a pair of eyes that terrified North Colin: blue eyes.
North shouted loudly, kicked the war horse with great might, and rushed forward, a ghoul pounced up, grabbed North with both hands, and the cold light flashed, and the long sword slashed down, hitting the ghoul's head.
The other two ghouls pounced, one to hold the horse's head, and the other to Noth. The horse's hooves flew up and struck the ghoul in the chest, kicking the rotten creature apart. Noth's sword slashed, slashing the third ghoul under his horse.
The low roar of the shadow lynx behind came, the war horse was frightened, and ran forward desperately, a black shadow fell from the sky, jumped on the war horse, and grabbed North, North's long sword stabbed backwards, hitting the belly of the shadow lynx, however, the shadow lynx, which was already dead, did not react to this sword, opened its big mouth, clicked, and bit North's head, blood splattered......
Several ghouls rushed up, grabbed the war horse, opened their mouths and bitten, the war horse ran forward a few steps, and fell down, and more ghouls pounced, opened their mouths, poof, a feast of flesh and blood......
*
On the wall of the western bridge, Centurion Newman shouted, "Hudson, put down the scythe." ”
Hudson grabbed the trap's hand and pulled it desperately. The surface of the ice wall began to crack, and the ice and snow fell one after another, as if the entire ice wall had begun to topple, and the ghouls who rushed to the front of the ice fell one after another. But more ghouls continue to climb up below.
Click!
The loud sound seemed to collapse from the sky.
Heavy scythes showed marks, blades wider than the door panels, chains thicker than thighs.
Rumble!
The scythe slammed down from the ice, sending a terrible whirlwind with it.
Zheng!
A metallic sound echoed through the night sky.
The scythe fell a hundred meters, the chain was extreme, the scythe was slammed down, and then the huge inertia caused him to sweep against the ice wall.
The ghouls on this entire ice wall were like ants swept down by a broom, and the ghouls who were hit flew out like stone pills, and several strange ghosts who commanded the climb could not escape their fate, and they were swept down, fell down the unfathomable Grand Canyon, and shattered into ice slag on the rocks.
