Chapter 0058: Oath Outpost (3 more)

Boom!

The noose turned, and the heavy iron-wood door slowly rose upward. Commander-in-Chief Sir Mormont, Chief of General Bowen Marcy, Acting Chief Ranger Sir Jeremy Lake, Head of the Sect Ser Alyssa Thorne, and the leaders of the four Men in Black were escorted to the door.

With the exception of Sir Mormont, who was not injured, the other three leaders all had scars on their faces. One of Alyssa Thorne's eyes was too swollen to open, and her forehead was a blur of blood.

Boom!

The ironwood door rose to the top, and the inch-thick door shook overhead, and ice chips shook off.

Will rode on his horse, torch in hand, and walked first into the dark passageway.

Black Girl Ash and Able Ash walked behind Will with torches.

Taryn Ash walked at the rear, with his ten Burning Regiment guards carrying torches, and in the center were the four Legion leaders, led by Mormont.

With the exception of Mormont's four legion leaders and the tall Tyren Ash, the rest of the men were all on horseback, fully armoured, helmeted, and boots, armed to the teeth.

Even the tribal leader Tyron Ash, who was never accustomed to wearing shoes, was wrapped in the footcloth characteristic of the Black Legion at Will's request, then wrapped in a thick fur and wrapped in moisture-resistant leather.

Taryn Ash held Commander Mormont's fine horse in his hand, and on the saddle hung an intricately carved sword with a black metal silver-rimmed sheath, and an oak ball carved into it at the end of its hilt.

This sword is the long claw of the family heirloom sword of Old Bear Mormont.

The bear is the family crest of the Mormont family.

The passage of the Great Wall is bitterly cold, and the warriors of the Ash Tribe who have lived in the Wolf Forest Mountain Range for a long time clearly feel that this cold is different from the ice and snow of the Wolf Forest Mountain Range, and the air is like a needle tipping lightly in your face.

After walking for a while, Lord Will stopped in front of him, and there was another gate in front of him, black, heavy, still made of ironwood, and it was impossible to see the thickness of this door.

There was also an iron fence in front of the door, and heavy iron chains were attached to it, which were wrapped many times, and finally a huge iron lock held the chains.

Will jumped off his horse, put the torch on the ground, and untied a large bunch of keys from his waist, and he used the key to open the iron lock, and unfastened the chains, which rubbed against the iron fence with a very harsh sound.

Will pushed the iron fence open, and ordered Black Girl Ash and Able Ash to retreat, and he walked to the ironwood door, and groped for a moment on the side of the door against the wall, when he heard a whimsical rattling sound above the ironwood door.

When Heiya and Able looked up, they saw a groove running across the entire frame of the door above the ironwood door, and the groove was lined with dense arrow holes.

"There are three such doors. "Each gate has two iron fences in front of it, and each door has an arrow slot above the door frame. When you touch the mechanism, a short arrow shoots out from the top of your head, and all the arrows are poisonous. I've turned off the Short Arrow mechanism, and now we can open this wooden door. ”

Blackgirl, Abel, Tyranny, and his Burning Ten were terrified to hear this.

They had never thought of such a murderous arrangement, and it was the first time they had heard of such a murderous design. Poisoned arrows, even a giant like Tyron Ash can't resist.

When you pass through such a door, you have to open at least three locks, each of which is very complicated and hung by iron chain hooks, and there are small locks on top of the chains that lock each other.

In short, judging from Tyron Ash's not reckless character, such a design is really asking for too much trouble.

After passing the first gate, Will had Ser Alyssa Thorne tied up and gagged and thrown at the door, and the procession moved on.

There was a turn in the road ahead, and Will told everyone to go in the middle, and in the firelight, the walls on both sides were normal, but Will said that the walls of this section of the road were all machined crossbow arrows.

"There are many wormholes under the Great Wall, and the wormholes are connected to each other, and when winter comes, the snow will be at least fifteen feet deep, and the men in black will go through the complex wormholes under the Great Wall to the bottom of each castle, and then go to the castle through the stairs. There are wormholes on both sides of this passage to the outside of the Great Wall. Through the wormhole, the crossbow bolt can be activated. ”

Will's introduction made the thirteen warriors of the Ash Tribe widen at the listen.

"Will, what do you want to do if you tell these people all the secrets of the Great Wall?" Mormont said.

"What are you going to do with us, Lord Will?" asked Bowen Marthy, with little confidence.

Will smiled, "Chief Bowen, I will leave you in front of the second gate, please help us guard the second gate, before we come back." ”

"Will, is there anything that can't be discussed? We're all old comrades of the Rangers, and we've lived and died together, advancing and retreating together for many years. Sir Jeremy Lake said.

"It's a non-negotiable world. Will said, "The only language to discuss is the sword. ”

Mormont sneered: "Will, do you think you can do whatever you want with this little manpower? I advise you to take advantage of the precipice early, otherwise you will end up hanging by your brothers." These wolf friends of yours will die without a place to bury. ”

"I know, you're counting on Maester Aemon to release the ravens to the Shadow Tower's severed palm Colin, oh, by the way, and Carter Pike, the captain of the garrison of the East Sea Watch, isn't that so, my Lord Commander-in-Chief. ”

"And Chief Ranger Bunyan Stark, who has returned to the Stark family's feast for King Robert, and if he gets the news, you and your friends will be consumed by his wrath even if they flee to the ends of the earth. Will, you have violated the Code of the Night's Watch, and now you are on the precipice, your only way to live. ”

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, you still have the recruiter Euron to count on, he went to the widow to escort the two criminals back to be the man in black, calculate the time, and he will be back soon. It's just that one Euron and two untrained recruits, can he defeat the three hundred warriors of the Wood Shield Tribe and the Ash Tribe? Haha!" Will laughed.

The warriors of the Ash Tribe laughed.

At the second gate, Will dropped the Chief of Operations, Bowen, and at the third gate, Will dropped the acting Chief Ranger, Sir Jeremy Lake.

Finally out of the dark tunnels of the Great Wall, outside, not far away, is the Ghost Shadow Forest.

Taryn Ash led the horse to Commander Mormont, and Will said, "Sir, mount your horse, and the time has come for you to take up your claws and fulfill your oath for good." ”

"I don't understand, Will!"

"Is your oath before the gods old and new false, sir, I remember the oath that the night is coming, and I will watch from now on until I die. I will not have a wife, nor a fief, nor a child. I will not wear a crown, and I will not compete for honor. I will do my duty and die in my life. I am the sword in the darkness, the guard on the Wall. I am the flame against the cold, the light at dawn, the trumpet that awakens the sleeper, the shield that guards the kingdom. I give my life and glory to the Night's Watch, tonight, and night—Commander-in-Chief, do you just sing your oath?"

"Will—"

"Please mount, Commander-in-Chief, if you say there are no ghosts, I'll take you to meet them. I'm going with you to destroy the outposts of the Strangers who are wise, resourceful, and have human allies. Commander-in-Chief, are you afraid? Or do you already know the truth, but you have been deceiving yourself and others, and you have never been willing to investigate deeply. Will's voice suddenly became cold as a blade.

Commander-in-Chief Mormont's brazen face finally changed!
