Chapter 428

Chapter 428 The duel between intelligence and powerPerception is mutual.
Others Human Sorcerers can determine their location by sensing energy fluctuations when consume magic. Fair enough - Moqorro kept casting spells along the way, and the Cold God priests also sensed his presence and approach.
(There is a squid of humans coming across the War Zone towards oneself, and among them is a mighty Mage.)
Two Cold God priests - more precisely the "Ghost East Road Army" The Lord Commander and the Deputy Lord Commander" roughly figured out the situation a few minutes ago, but they neither ducked nor retreated, for a number of reasons.
This pair of Others consumed a huge amount of magic power a moment ago, and they joined forces to help army cross the fire sea to enter the fortress, and now they are trying their best to control the thousands of ghouls entering Eastwatch, and micro-manipulate them to attack the road Wall's ladder... The lack of magic power resulted in an unstable connection, and they had to advance slightly closer to the fortress to ensure precise control of the ghoul army.
This is the objective reason, and the subjective consideration is: as the servants of the gods, the priests of the Cold God and the Red God have the duty and strong instinct to "annihilate each other".
A Red God Priest with proven mana - Moqorro is as threatening to the ghouls as the unarmed human commoner meets the Others unless the Fire Attribute magic power is suppressed by the Wall . His existence is the biggest unstable factor affecting the outcome of the battlefield. Those dead puppets can't deal with the prepared Sorcerer at all. If he goes into street fighting or retreats to the stairs to participate in the defense, the ghouls will be exhausted before the magic power is exhausted. Don't even think about going a step further, the strategic goal of capturing the top of the Wall is simply impossible to achieve.
Nowadays, this R'hllor stooge neither guards the stairs nor hurries up the wall to escape, but runs to his death? For the Others, it's a perfect fit.
Since everyone is here, let's decide the winner here!
＊＊＊
Although the total amount of magic power in the body is dozens of times that of the human Sorcerer with the most innate talent, in order to maintain the existence of the body, the Others can actually use it The magic power is only a small half - it was all used on the frontal battlefield a moment ago, and the recovery is quite slow at the moment when Wall's shielding Magic has not yet failed.
However, even if the remaining magic power is no longer able to support spellcasting, Others have another gift from the Cold God: a human being in strength, speed, endurance and even spirit...all qualities. Several times or even ten times, almost immune to Magic's powerful body.
Unlike R'hllor's lackeys, Cold God priests are the most powerful Warriors in the world even if they don't play Magic!
……
The heat generated by dozens of soldiers getting together is too strong-although Moqorro hides his breath and does not cast spells after getting close to a certain level, but the two Others are still based on The heat exhaled from the living people's mouths roughly figured out where the Others hunted the squid, and they threw flying stones to attack at the moment someone appeared.
One hit!
Too bad it wasn't the Red God priest the Others wanted to kill, Moqorro was still hiding under the wall!
As a servant of the Lord of Light, a Sorcerer who is good at Fire Magic, Moqorro destroys ghouls with no difficulty, but really has no means to deal with Others: the body of this enemy Magic creature Extreme Cold makes them Immune to ordinary fire magic, if you want to kill them, either destroy their bodies with enough magic power Dragonglass or Valyria steel to disrupt the magic power operation in them, or use the massive Fire Attribute magic power that crushes them to completely neutralize and obliterate them ...Unfortunately, Moqorro, who is flesh and blood, can't burn even half of Others' arm even if he squeezes out the magic power in his marrow.
Since meet force with force is not an opponent, it is better not to take the lead and let other soldiers attract firepower and save their lives... and then play a role at a critical moment. As a loyal servant of Lord of Light, Moqorro has only R'hllor in his heart, and he will exhaust oneself's wisdom and ability to complete the sacred mission that Lord of Light handed over to oneself - anyone and anything can be sacrificed!
"It's here!" The ghoul made this precise and powerful long-range attack, the red robe monk who was splashed with hot liquid was not frightened by the blood at all, but still crouched behind the battlements and lifted the Throwing torches out of the city wall, reciting incantation aloud, in a wave of magic power, the sticks wrapped in cloth and the headbands were ignited from the inside to the outside, and the stored in wood, oil and resin was ignited. All the chemical energy is converted into light and heat in an instant, which creates a powerful flare that lasts for several seconds, illuminating the small patch of Heaven and Earth under the wall as bright as day, and at the same time puffing out the chest loudly roared, "Unsullied, attack! ”
Unsullied would not be frightened by the dead Pao Ze, they all emerged from behind the wall without hesitation after receiving the order, and led the accompanying Night's Watches to stand up with blood boiling. Under the light of the "flare bomb" flying in the midair, everyone saw two pale white figures sitting on horses and standing only a dozen meters away from the wall in a daze - without the slightest hesitation, they moved towards the target regardless Throwing lances, throwing bombs, and shooting arrows indiscriminately, pinning their hopes on one of these attacks to be effective, and to create miracles for mankind.
"Slow down!" Not only did Moqorro not stand up, he even held down Ein Immet, who was about to stand up, until two more Unsullied were killed by the attack of flying stones. Falling to the ground, the enemy launched another attack in a flash impossible, only then did he release and patted the shoulders of the Ranger commander, "Right now, aim and shoot, success or failure is here!"
......
In addition to their physical strength, the Others have another reliance that allows them to dare to shoot at dozens of human soldiers equipped with Dragonglass weapons: a layer hardened a moment ago to ensure the safety of casting spells near the wall Crystallized skin.
Like their usual weapons - those Ice Swords that can smash steel swords into pieces, and ice spears that can shoot dragons, this hard shell is made of the same material that makes up their bodies. Composition: A little bit of physical solidity and surging pure magic power. After consuming energy to change its microstructure to achieve crystallization, this layer of skin will become rigid and affect movement, and it will no longer be able to circulate magic power, but at the same time, they will also become stronger and stronger than any material in nature, Night's Watch The ordinary frozen fire weapon used cannot leave a mark on its surface, let alone penetrate it!
In the sound of sou sou, the two priests raised their hands to block the vulnerable eyes, and let the dragonglass lance and arrow of the human counterattack hit the body and shattered into glass slag in the sound of peng peng, and the wooden pole was It fell to the ground...follow closely from behind the bomb explosion accompanied by a rumbling sound. The speed and sharpness of the Dragonglass fragments propelled by the gunpowder gas far exceed the arrow, but in addition to hitting the crystallized skin In addition to the more thorough powder, they failed to cause any harm to them, only the unfortunate corpse horse was beaten into a sieve by fragments, its legs were weak, and the two priests were thrown to the ground.
At the end of the first round, the two unscathed Others removed their eye-protecting arms and searched for the silhouette of the Red God lackey again among the humans on the wall. Raising his arms, he randomly picked two more targets to aim, and was ready to throw an amazing flying stone with formidable power again.
But in the next second, an arrow that was a second later than the other attacks for some reason suddenly flew straight. Still being crushed dry weeds and smashing rotten wood through several layers of crystallized shells on his arms and chest, an incomparably powerful Fire Attribute magic power sank into his chest without hindrance, the pure and surging energy of which made him doubtful It was R'hllor's deity who kicked oneself's chest in this world. This terrifying energy instantly annihilated all the magic power in his chest, completely destroying the rhythm and regularity of the magic power in his body... He didn't even have the second second. It cracked into countless pieces of slag before it persisted, and the slag was further decomposed and gasified. In the end, the action of "falling to the ground" was not completed, and it turned into a very low temperature smoke in the midair. Except for the arrow, even half a grain The fragments did not fall to the ground, and they turned into pure cold magic power and returned between Heaven and Earth.
The Dragonglass weapon is simply impossible to achieve this effect!
The "Deputy Lord Commander" who was raising his arm blinked, and found that his colleagues who were a short distance from oneself a moment ago had turned into a mass of original magic power without leaving any scum. , How can you not understand: the enemy's initiative to fight is not at all the priest of Lord of Light or the explosive bomb that can blow up frozen fire, and the dive tool that can kill itself in seconds has never been seen before!
The servants of Cold God don't know what fear is, but the Night King's mission programmed into their consciousness may make them prioritize the protection of oneself at all costs - disconnecting from most ghouls without the slightest hesitation, taking a bite After the pure cold magic power left over from the death of the same kind, the remaining Others ran away from the fortress wall, jumped on the back of a corpse bear who was rushing to meet him, and rode this agile big guy into the darkness. go with.
...
"Ain, keep shooting, I'll give you a chance!" Moqorro stood up from behind the wall when he sensed that one of the two Others was shot. Staring at the back of the other Others, his hands clenched into fists in the distance, his life's magic skills seemed to be accumulated for this moment, the magic power of his whole body gathered into needles, and he shot at the back of the enemy fleeing on a bear in the distance!
Although it's impossible to kill Others directly with Magic, it's not very easy to deal with only one ghoul-like animal with one ability! ?
The corpse bear stumbled, and the connection with the Others was instantly interrupted. The moment he fell and threw the rider into the snow, white flames turned into a dazzling fireball. And in the moment when the only remaining Others fell to the ground and was illuminated by the firelight, the Eastwatch Chief Ranger had successfully put the second Dragonsteel arrow on the bowstring and let go - this pair of unacquainted Mage and the shooter completed A perfect mutual cooperation, the well-made "Lightbringer · Three" swept the distance of 80 meters away with a graceful arc, accurately immersed in the enemy's back that rolled and fell into the snow and became a fixed target... In a light sound, more than 10,000 ghoul east road troops were wiped out.
