Chapter 433 Great decisive battle? (middle)"Ghouls have crossed the outer wall in the east, south, and north directions, and the battle has extended from the top of the wall to the residential area." As the champion and runner-up of the Queenscrown arrow technique tournament, dive archer Angai and Theon Greyjoy does his part to be carried by Igor - on a mission to snipe the Night King. But now the target is nowhere to be seen, and they who were supposed to play heroic roles suddenly became the ears of the deaf - a decoration. "If the Lord Commander allows me, why don't the two of us take the 'Lightbringer' to the place of distress to help relieve the pressure on the Night's Watch brothers?"
"Can you find the Others without me leading the way? ?" Melisandre couldn't hide her urgency, even though she forced it to be cold at a moderate pace, she looked towards Child of Prophecy, who was assisted by oneself, "Didn't the Lord of Light give you any new instructions? Should I stay here and wait for the Night King to show up, or should I go and help the defenders with the other Others who might invade the city?"
Igor took a deep breath, turning aside without answering Melisandre's question. : "Earl Beric, Lord Thoros, please two lords each lead a team to escort Angie and Theon with Lightbringer to help in the city. Harvey, immediately return to the inner castle to convey my order: let Bran use the crow for the dragonsteel arrow. All the shooters guide the Others, if they dare to break into the Queenscrown!" Given the huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and the enemy, it would be a complete relief to let the only Red God priest who can accurately locate the enemy chief to deal with the ordinary Others, although it can be done in a short period of time. In time, some slumps were recovered, but in the overall situation, it did not help at all. The only way out now is to stick to the original plan and try to destroy the Night King!
"Melisandre, you don't have any magical means, can you find the Night King directly?"
"There are indeed active detection methods to find living creatures. This kind of spell is aimed at living people and is not suitable for use in the crowd, and secondly... If the enemy who is actively investigating is stronger than me, he can completely hide in the past, and even harm me in the reverse direction of my exploration Magic!"
"Then the idea to lead him out? Last time you cast a spell in Castle Black to fuel the fire and attracted the attack of Others, can you repeat the same trick, take the initiative to reveal your position, and invite the Night King to attack you?"
Theoretically, yes, of course, but this is undoubtedly a risk to the life of the person who took the lead.
Igor is of course not unreasonable with the world, but it's a pity that he can't be a hero because he doesn't know how to spell. Fortunately, the mutual trust between him and Melisandre has been established, and Red Woman won't take this abrupt offer as an offense or want her to die... not to mention that sacrificing her alone could win the entire war for R'hllor, As a loyal servant, she dared to jump into the sea of corpses without saying a word.
"But, what should I do to induce the Night King to shoot at me? Also, in case of success, I must not be killed by him in one blow before I can live to tell you where he is. !"
"Shields!" Igor shouted loudly, and asked the soldiers who stayed beside him to take the thick wooden shields that blocked the arrows, erected them in a row and stood in front of them for comfort, and then facial expression Gravely began to come up with ideas, "Of course it can't be a random spell, but it must make the Night King feel threatened or pressured. Tonight, the ghouls did not keep sending death to the fire, indicating that the enemy has begun to pay attention to what oneself has. Controlling the value of the basic units, can you cast some huge mighty Magic to destroy a considerable number of ghouls and force the Night King to take action?"
"The huge mighty Magic?" Melisandre was helpless. Shaking her head, she really hates to explain spell knowledge to laymen again and again, but unfortunately this person in front of him is Child of Prophecy, "Magic is not what you think. It will also be much more difficult... The magic power consumption and casting difficulty will increase exponentially with the increase of distance. It is not difficult to eliminate dozens or hundreds of ghouls at once, as long as you are willing to spend magic power - but it has to be between me and the ghouls. In the case of close contact. Now your little prophet said that the Night King is in the Northwest direction, but the ghouls in the Northwest direction did not attack the wall. They wanted to deal with the ghouls standing outside the fire wall across dozens or hundreds of meters, and they could burn to death. A few is enough, such a loss, I am afraid it is difficult to arouse the anger and counterattack of any enemy!"
Igor honestly admits that when he mentioned "Magic of huge might", he thought to himself. It is the spectacular type that can only be seen in games and film and television works such as "Meteorite Falling from the Sky" and "Fire Burning the Sky". Obviously, such a low-level magic world can't support such spells - he who doesn't know anything about this can only choose to believe Melisandre's statement... After shutting up again and thinking long and hard for a while, a flash of lightning suddenly cut through his mind. mist.
"Remember what you did to my sword?"
The witch's blank expression showed she wasn't following her train of thought: "What?"
"It was you who secretly attached dozens of powerful light spells to my sword without consent, almost blinding my eyes that time..."
"I remember, why, your eyes are still there. Are you okay?"
"Good morning. What I want to ask is - you later said that Dragonsteel is a far better carrier of magic power than ordinary steel, so, can you be on Lightbringer's arrows? Do the same to make it super bright?"
"Of course, a better magic power carrier means it's only going to be easier and the results will be great, what do you think?"
p>
"Light the Lightbringer, and I shoot in the direction of the Night King."
"try one's luck?" Melisandre fainted: "Are you ill? That's all. What are you wasting?”
In order to boost the morale of the military and civilians along the Wall, Igor sent twenty Lightbringers to various fortresses. Last night... to be precise, it was the early morning of this morning that he temporarily decided to make Dragonsteel bombs. Twenty pieces have been consumed, and there are 77 pieces of genuine Lightbringer in total. There are only more than 30 pieces of Lightbringer left. There are more than 20 pieces of Divine Archer assigned to each reserve team. Igor has five more... Melisandre says "there's only so much left", and it's no exaggeration.
Of course, he didn't expect to hit the Night King with a random arrow by lighting up the Lightbringer, but to use this form to show his strength, provoke the enemy by the way, and stimulate the Night King to shoot to reveal his position!
Enemies are emotionless Magic creatures, and normally, Igor doesn't turn his head in the odd direction of "provoking them". But the current situation forced him to come up with some abnormal tricks: Others were not simple machines but complex creatures after all. And as long as it is a living creature—with higher intelligence, it is impossible to truly think without emotion and rationally!
Whether oneself succeeded in counter-killing with a Dragonglass dagger a few years ago with the carelessness of Others, or Moqorro led a group of soldiers in Eastwatch to successfully snipe two Others who had killing intent and chose to fight against them, it is true Undoubtedly confirmed this.
This move is at least 30-40% sure it will work!
"I am the Lord Commander and the Child of Prophecy, do as I say!" The battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and Igor had no time to explain oneself's plan in detail. A Dragonsteel arrow, which I don't know the number, pointed at Melisandre and handed her in front of one's eyes: "enchanted! I only want it to shine for a moment, but before it hits the ground, the brighter the better!"
Melisandre stopped arguing, but held the body of the arrow with both hands, pressed his index finger and middle finger to the arrowhead, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and after a few words of incantation, the Dragonsteel arrowhead suddenly lit up like a high-power LED light that was suddenly powered on. , so that all the soldiers on the section of the wall where they were stabbed looked sideways, and had to turn their faces away to avoid hurting their eyes.
A similar effect has also appeared on Igor's ordinary steel essence long sword, but Melisandre was able to use the huge amount of magic power released by the cremation of Aemon Targaryen's corpse. Created an amazing brightness, and this time, the witch only released a spell, and it was already too bright to look at - the reason for this is that this Magic was released on the extremely demon-friendly Dragonsteel, and it was set. It is set to "use up all the energy in half a minute", this Magic light bulb is close to the extreme in terms of efficiency and power!
As if holding a military searchlight, even though he had turned his face away, Igor still had to squint his eyes to avoid being stabbed by the rays of light on the arrowhead, holding the scary Lightbringer in his hand A second later, Igor leaned his face and put it on the string, and tried his best to open the bow at an angle of nearly 40°. He moved towards the Northwest he felt, and let go, and with a tense sound, he shot the large group of rays of light at the ghoul in the distance. group.
……
The dazzling "Lightbringer · Sixty-Four", like an arrow shaft against a full moon, rises from a height of 20 to 30 meters above the sea of ghouls outside the fence. Passing by, the sprinkled bright white light reflected the head of the ghoul that was densely packed and waiting to hit the ground... After flying nearly two hundred meters away aimlessly, it fell into the outer edge of the corpse in the distance, passing through the corpse. After passing through a skinny half-skeleton-shaped ghoul, he still had enough strength, and nailed the body of the second ghoul, and finally stopped.
Even in the belly of the fallen ghoul, it still radiates the light of magic power strong and proud, shining faintly in the sea of corpses.
＊＊＊
Even the gods have impossible magic power that can be used inexhaustible magic power, accurately creating the low temperature field to make the human wildfire fail, the tactical effect is indeed outstanding, but in the end There was a moment when it was powerless to continue. After finding that the human defense line could not be destroyed in a short window period and broke through Queenscrown, the Night King temporarily changed the order: let the Others who cast spells cross the wall in the chaos of the ghouls, venture into the city, and fight within the wall to support During the war, while creating damage and casualties while "developing offline", relying on the method of internal flowering, bypassing the hard shell of the city wall defenders, and winning the town while reducing the loss of puppets as much as possible.
As the Others who were responsible for containing Wildfire crossed the wall and entered Queenscrown one by one and stopped casting spells, the wall of fire finally lit up and completed the defense circle. The chaotic defenders did not respond for a while. In the panic, he even blew up the Wildfire canister that was overturned on the top of the wall during the previous bloody battle, and the wall that was almost lost was also set on fire. The corpse was all wrapped in light and heat - not only did the defenders not get close to the lost city wall to recover, but also blocked the foreign aid of the Others ghouls who had already invaded the city.
Coincidentally, this happens less than ten seconds after Igor shoots the Lightbringer.
The entire Northwest saw this spectacular scene to the army soldiers on the fence, they didn't know it was a provocative shot by Igor giving medicine to a dead horse in a desperate situation, they only I saw: At the most tense moment of the battle, the Lord Commander moved towards the distant sea of ghouls and shot a large group of dazzling rays of light like a Divine Vestige, the enemy hit fell to the ground, and then——the gap in the fire wall that never ignited A billowing yellow-green flame suddenly appeared in the middle.
"Unconsciously aware" and the herd effect played an unexpectedly positive role in this brief moment, obviously still in danger, but the wall surrounding Queenscrown... actually sounded like a wave of inspiring high Roaring and cheering as if triumphant.
…
Along with this unexplained cheer, Giant Wun Wun smashed a corpse wolf into pieces with one punch.
Because the width of the wall is too narrow to expand the formation to take advantage of the number, the defenders' counterattack and bomb formidable power are also quite ferocious. Expanded, they were no longer fighting with the frontline humans, who were meant to kill and wound civilians, but chose to jump off the wall and attack Queenscrown.
And then collided with the soldiers of the second line who had been waiting not far under the wall.
Living Giants have low intelligence, slow movements, and extremely poor endurance, unable to adapt to training, marching, and protracted battles, and as scary as they may seem, anyone who wants to turn them into soldiers as a trump card will definitely Big disappointment. However, in the defensive battle of fixed positions, they can play a miraculous effect: in the pre-war arrangement, dozens of adult Giants have been grouped with the new land-grant soldiers and evenly arranged around each command branch. When the outer wall enters the city, it can be used immediately.
At this moment, the Giant Wun Wun, which was arranged in the middle of this crossroad, is like a sculpture that can be moved and attacked firmly at the intersection, surrounded by soldiers, lit barricades and roofs. ... together to form a defensive line that can be attacked and defended, combining active and passive defense, which firmly blocked the intention of the ghouls who jumped from the wall to attack the center of Queenscrown.
The IQs similar to those of eight or nine-year-old children allow Giants to identify friends and foes. They are covered with thick cloth or animal fur so that they can withstand the damage of ordinary ghouls. They are as thick and powerful as battering rams. Their arms are their sure weapons. Even without Dragonglass equipment, Giant can easily make even fully armed ghouls lose their battle strength instantly. Surrounded by these reliable big guys, the human soldiers on the second line of defense only need to use the Dragonglass lance to repair the ghouls that are constantly being smashed and torn by the Giant. It is much easier for the front-line soldiers who are battling with fire and blood in the gap.
However, as more and more ghouls poured in along the streets, the soldiers finally had to join the fight instead of just picking up the leaks, but in general Giant still took most of the pressure...just They were also encouraged by the headless cheers coming from the fence, and when their fighting spirit was high, a pale and agile individual suddenly jumped out of the ghoul group and slammed into Giant's arms.
The staggered Wun Wun let out a thunderous roar. After stabilizing his body, he immediately retracted his arms and held the enemy in front of his chest with both hands. He was about to squeeze as usual. It was crushed, but found that the pale little man in his hand was as hard as an iron block for some reason. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hurt it in the slightest. However, there was a tingling pain in his chest, and a strong chill that he had never experienced before quickly spread to his body, and quickly drowned his brain.
Until then, the pale existence who had thrown himself into Giant's arms before stood up calmly from the huge corpse that fell to the ground, and pulled out the translucent stick inserted in the center of the latter's chest. long sword, looked towards the remaining humans with blue eyes that were obviously much brighter than ghouls.
"Others!"
The soldier who first recognized the enemy's identity screamed, fired a Dragonglass arrow, turned his head and fled to the next intersection - they were A group of people is not equipped with the Dragonsteel arrow that can shoot through the Others Ice Armor. In the face of such a strong enemy with no possibility of winning, it is natural to resolutely retreat to the "Lightbringer" headquarters to protect themselves!
This is not an escape, it's part of the plan!
Others scoffed at the fleeing human defenders with a shrill voice, and instead of ordering the ghouls to pursue them, they formed a group around oneself to protect it.
The wall of fire has been fully formed, and the wall has been retaken by the defenders. Now, the eight Others and thousands of ghouls who have entered Queenscrown have to rely on the power of oneself to open the situation.
Oneself is lucky. As soon as I come in, I meet a Giant. After turning it into a puppet, one can be used for dozens of people, and it can also be used to block arrows at critical moments. It's perfect!
Under the protection of the surrounding ghouls, Others put his hand on the Giant's corpse, which had begun to cool, and began to inject the little cold magic power left, ready to wake up this big guy and let it accompany oneself Have a blast in this Queenscrown.
The bigger the creature, the more cold magic power it takes to turn it into a undead golem...but in general, the extra magic power is worth the money. But as the energy slowly infiltrated into Giant's body, Others was quickly surprised to find that there was a Fire Attribute magic power in the body of this big guy for some unknown reason, and the cold magic power injected by oneself was all like clay ox entering the neutralized like sea. I wasted a pass of magic power, but it turned out to be useless!
What's going on?
This is not entirely impossible to happen, it will happen if the source of the corpse is a Magic creature - either natural or acquired. Typical examples are: Demon Dragon, R'hllor's lackeys, those weird guys who are connected to trees all day, etc... As long as the remaining magic power in their bodies is dispelled and then injected into cold magic power to transform into puppets, they were Magic creatures will also become extremely powerful ghouls when they exist.
However, how can a common Giant have the magic power of Fire Attribute in his body?
Frightened, Others immediately turned to the corpse of another human beside him and repeated the same trick, and found that there was exactly the same situation!
A squeak, Others who never knew what they were afraid of, in the face of this unheard-of strange situation, also felt the fear for the first time - the oneself whose magic power is almost exhausted, if it loses the enemy that will kill it and transform it For the ability of a puppet, in this Queenscrown surrounded by powerful enemies and everywhere with dive tools, wouldn't it be a super soldier who can be slaughtered by others?
