Chapter 427 Hunt Others!The Shadow Tower exploded.
Literally fried.
The flames of the explosion were clearly visible for many miles away, and the shock wave generated traveled eastward along the Wall ice wall, causing a slight "ice avalanche" along a long section of the ice wall along the way. Dozens of tons of flimsy ice chips were shaken off the surface.
The explosion destroyed the second layer of the Wall ladder on Shadow Tower, which was more than ten meters high. The lamp oil that had been stacked on the third layer platform had also been ignited, on the verge of collapse… …And Qhorin Halfhand, who was on the 5-Layer platform at a height of forty meters, also led his subordinates back to the top of the wall with tears and began to destroy the stairs in the middle.
The battle between Gorge and the western end of the Wall is almost in suspense and is about to come to an end, but at the eastern end of the Wall, which is a hundred miles away, the battle of Eastwatch has also reached a similar stage.
…
The Eastwatch defenders lost one man on the top of the wall and most of the de-icing team at the moment of the ice storm, and there were no large numbers of defenders removed from the canyon front. The army joins, with slightly fewer combatants than Shadow Tower. Fortunately, the ghouls of the Eastern Route Army who came across the sea on the ice are also low-profile: the number is only one-fifth of the army led by Night King, less than 20,000, and there are no heavy sieges like Mammoth and Giant. Weapons... So, although this evenly matched offensive and defensive battle started earlier than the Shadow Tower battle, it lasted longer, until the two Others who led the team could no longer bear the loss of the ghouls, and used Magic to help destroy it. After the defenders' Wildfire line, the ghouls finally climbed the wall and made their way into the fortress with difficulty.
The same heavy snow is flying, the same fire is everywhere, the ghouls attacking in the east are mostly transformed from human beings. The breakthrough wall still failed to produce a crushing advantage. As the reinforcements from Torches and Sable Hall rushed to the battlefield one after another, the battle within the fortress wall was in full swing and was slightly stalemate, so that many commanders produced The feeling of "trying hard and hoping to retake the fortress".
After arriving less than a day ago, the soldiers of the book collection team loyal to Dragon Queen also managed to find the local quartermaster after some headless rambling, and half-begged and half-robbed the equipment Dragonglass lance and arrow, who were following the red robe monk Moqorro through the alley in the chaotic fortress, stopped Cotter Pyke who was rushing towards the stairs with a dozen soldiers.
"Lord Commander!" Moqorro shouted, "I have identified two Cold God servants...the location of the Others you call them, please bring someone with me, we can join forces Go hunt them!"
"I'm on a more important mission, I don't have time to hunt with you, Your High Priest!" Cotter roared, if it wasn't for this red robe monk tall and strong, with a majestic physique, and another man behind him. Standing with dozens of Unsullied, he had already pushed them away in a violent temper and continued on his way, "Get out of the way!"
A moment ago, the Eastwatch commander, like many of his subordinates, had the ability to retake the fort. He even took the lead in counter-charge a few times, but although a single humanoid ghoul was not a huge threat in the face of restrained weapons, the continuous influx of them was still slowly but uninterruptedly occupying the entire fortress. Where the attack was the most violent, the line of defense had even shrunk to the middle of the fortress, only two or three hundred meters away from the stairs.
It wasn't until now that Cotter Pyke, who had finally killed a cool, even winning prize, came back to his senses, remembering the key content of the plan to destroy the ladder, and hurriedly brought a group of soldiers with him. Running in the direction of Wall, this is where the encounter and confrontation with Moqorro's group come to this moment.
"No matter what you do without killing those two Others! If you insist on retreating, please give us those Lightbringers and we'll deal with them later!" Moqorro said nothing. Persevered with concessions, and even stretched out his right hand, slightly reducing the consume magic power, and creating a floating flame in the palm of the hand to show that oneself is not a magic stick with no ability to rely on one mouth: "I know we are the first God knows, but I have a way to help you retake the fort and save the lives of those who are still alive, please trust me!"
This undoubted Magic display immediately shocked Cotter, and he froze for a moment. , turned his head and looked towards Ain Immet, who was carrying the Dragonsteel arrow in this fortress: "Ain, you bring two reliable brothers to follow this guy in the red-clothed suit, and take a bomb! Remember, I On the three-layered platform of the stairs, if the ghouls appear in my field of vision instead of you, I will set the stairs on fire, and don't blame me for not waiting for you when you descend Hell!"
"Yes, sir!"
Has an ability, and is also equipped with a Divine Weapon that is said to be able to shoot Others, but he didn't even know where the target was all night, Eastwatch Rangers commander Ian Immet had already been suffocated. Huo, with Cotter's permission, was naturally refreshed, and happily joined Moqorro's team with two of his best cronies.
The two gangs parted ways, one team rushing towards the stairs next to Wall, the other team rushing towards the nearest wall to the south, against the scattered escapees and evacuees.
The direction of the ghouls' attack is to climb the stairs of Wall. Others hunted the squad to avoid the enemy's main attack edge, and cut a bloody path between the burning house and alleys. Due to the correct route selection, they did not encounter many enemies. The ghouls resurrected as puppets by Others are slightly stronger than before in terms of endurance, speed and strength, but when the human side is equipped with restraint weapons, they are not difficult to deal with when there is no absolute numerical advantage... ...however, in this situation of scrambling in the cramped surroundings of buildings to be within the wall, where they are really terrifying is this: you never know which corners, turns and arteries they're going to take from, or even overhead It suddenly appeared, causing the team to suffer casualties in unexpected situations.
However, all these difficulties disappeared when a high-ranking Red God priest took the lead.
As servants of R'hllor, the Red God priests who are proficient in Fire Magic are very sensitive to the ghouls controlled by Han Magic, and they can be found from far away. With Moqorro's reminder, the Others hunted the squids to bypass the big ones, annihilate the small ones, and every time they engaged, the Unsullied with their Dragonglass lances could stab every approaching ghoul to the ground as cleanly as a stake. , even the occasional fish that escaped the net will be easily resolved by Moqorro.
It's not the same as what ordinary people think, the Red God priests deal with the ghouls, not using some spell "peng" to blow them up or ignite them into fire balls - although he can do it, But that's a waste of magic power. What Moqorro actually does is: unleash a pure Fire Attribute magic power shock, piercing the ghouls' bodies, directly dispelling or neutralizing the cold magic power poured into them by the Others, cutting them off from the Others at the root. magic bond, turning it back into a cold corpse.
The principle of his killing the ghoul is actually the same as that of Dragonglass, but without the obsidian carrier, the attack distance is a bit short.
So, what the onlookers saw was—Moqorro raised his hand, pinched his fingers, snapped his fingers, and sometimes didn't even move, and suddenly emerged from the shadows in the corner during the melee. The sporadic ghouls approaching the crowd who were about to take advantage of the emptiness to cause casualties fell down like an empty sack.
The Red God priest can't be suppressed by Magic in the Wall. This is the most crucial final battle, and he doesn't need to save magic power.
In this way, they ran all the way, and they rushed to the wall-climbing passage beside the fence. All the soldiers guarding the wall have been withdrawn, but fortunately, after the ghoul jumped over the wall, they would jump directly into the fortress from the other side, and would not deliberately come to find the passage under the wall. Burning ghouls and corpses of Night's Watch soldiers who died in battle will be transformed and climbed up again, and there are not many enemies in the way.
This is the place to be surrounded by beyond the wall, the first place to fall, but the enemy is nowhere to be seen... I went up to the top of the wall and looked out carefully. Outside of the few ghouls still moving under the wall, the previous spectacular scene of corpses and corpses, crowded with people, has been disappeared—since the number of ghouls attacking Eastwatch on this road is only more than ten thousand, it also means: At this moment, the ghouls outside the wall have all rushed into the fortress!
"Your High Priest, are you sure the Others are outside the wall? Aren't they going to follow oneself's men into the fortress?"
"No, they are also afraid of When encountering a sneak attack in a complex environment, most of them will stay outside the wall, and after the ghouls have captured the entire fortress and cleaned up the remaining human beings, they will enter the city to receive the spoils."
Although it is said definitively without the slightest hesitation , but in fact Moqorro is only guessing - he uses magic power induction to find the enemy, but when the search target does not cast spells, Others is not obvious in his magic power induction, he is also taking advantage of the enemy's massive elimination. The moment the consume magic force forcibly extinguishes the flames outside the wall determines their location. Did the Others move and change places during the time they were killing them all the way... He wasn't sure.
However, it's better to try one's luck at the location you sensed for the first time than to admit defeat or aimlessly.
Everyone lowered their bodies and followed Moqorro forward under the cover of the battlements, breathing white heat with every step forward. After advancing several hundred meters, Moqorro finally stopped and crouched behind the wall with Valyria said to an Unsullied ordered beside her: "This is it, look outside, is there anything abnormal?" 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 unusual, especially after landing at Eastwatch port - he had no idea what the Others looked like, even if How should I report it?
Thinking about it, his instinct to execute orders still made him obediently straighten his back and peer out of the wall.
In the darkness, a piercing sound hit oneself's face. The next second, he stuck out the entire head of the battlement, including his helmet and helmet, as if he had been shot in the head by a large-caliber sniper rifle. The flying attackers smashed into a blood mist, and the mutilated corpse fell to the ground, blood spraying Moqorro's face.
