Chapter 8 - chapter 8

sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer, and the identity of the visitor is quickly revealed: Will's horse, which was killed by an ice sword ten days ago, emerged from the trees, hanging on Bing Ling's stiff body. , sat a pale and thin figure.

  The White Walkers who were chasing Egg turned the dead horse into a wight creature, transforming from an ordinary White Walker into a White Walker knight. If it weren't for his poor riding skills, he wouldn't have caught up with the two until they were close to the Great Wall.

  But now the result is not bad. There is a feeling called satisfaction in the body of the White Walkers: they have finally caught up.

  As far as humans are concerned, the endurance and determination of the two black-clothed humans in front of them are quite outstanding, especially the younger one: from the decisiveness to turn around and run away as soon as he sees him, to the calmness not to have any naive thoughts even when he sees his weapon being thrown away. and accurate judgment, to the agility to avoid throwing ice swords, and the speed to escape... This is a human with good qualities, and after today, he will also be a good subordinate of the ghoul.

  One against two, but the advantages of strength, equipment and abilities that I have are already so great that I can completely ignore the disadvantages of one more opponent, not to mention that the two humans in front of me are already at their physical and psychological limits... This is not a battle; Hunting.

  ***

  The horse that collapsed on the ground neighed and got up and stumbled away, while Egger drew his weapon and looked coldly at the chasing White Walkers. Hot air steamed up from the lungs, and a low, hoarse gasp came out from deep in the throat, not as if it came from the vocal cords, but as if it came from the soul - the shock and fear turned into a raging fighting spirit: the opponent has a horse, and running is I am determined not to run away, so either you die or I live!

  The last battle is not to protect the Great Wall, nor to defend the kingdom, but to survive.

  "I stopped it." Gary also realized that he was in a desperate situation and raised his sword: "You run, someone has to remind the brothers that winter is coming." "

  No, I don't want to go back after you are killed. He was overtaken in despair and was on the run until he died." Egg knew that Gary had no chance of stopping him: "Let's kill it here, and then escape across the Great Wall together. We will discuss the specific plan later, be careful with this guy's weapons. , the steel sword can't stop it, if it dares to throw that thing at us again..."

  The enemy didn't wait for him to finish. It stared at the two night watchmen emotionlessly for a few seconds with its eyes flashing with faint blue light, and then rode on horseback. Rush towards them.

  "Get away!"

  The two quickly separated, and the surrounding trees became a good cover. The two night watchmen performed a Qin King's Column in the ghost forest, circling around the obstacles to allow the mounted White Walkers to charge several times. After touching half of their hair, the latter roared in a harsh voice several times, dismounted and rushed towards the two of them on foot.

  "Come on!" Gary yelled and rushed forward.

  "Be careful!"

  Egg shouted. The swordsmanship training received by the night watchman is the most basic blocking and counterattack skills. It is naturally more than enough to deal with the savage raiding team who fight solely on instinct and strength. However, the basis of this combat method is to establish In terms of "weapons can withstand collisions", this condition is not satisfied in front of the White Walkers!

  Without much preparation and confrontation, the real battle went from an outbreak to a climax that decided life and death in an instant. Although Egg reminded the veterans to be careful of the weapons of the White Walkers, Gary had been accustomed to his own fighting style for more than 30 years, and when he saw the White Walkers When a flaw was revealed, he subconsciously stepped forward and slashed head-on!

  It was an unpretentious but extremely skillful strike, with impeccable angle and perfect timing at the moment when the White Walkers were unsteady on their feet after dismounting. Gary has not received any fancy swordsmanship training, and relies only on forty years of experience and proficiency. This chop seems to have gathered all his life's skills and strength, even if the Dawn Sword God crawls out of the grave. You have to be very alert to deal with this sword - the veteran even has an intuition in his heart: this sword will end the battle without Egg's last strike.

  (Even if this blow is blocked, he can quickly retract his sword and change it into a side attack, forcing the opponent to continue to defend. At this time, Egg can attack it from behind, and the result is this damn ghost thing. The best thing is, if he can By bringing the dead body of the White Walker to the Great Wall back to the Great Wall, the two of them no longer have to take the risk of becoming deserters!)

  This is a tricky and deadly sword. If the opponent is a human, then he may be in big trouble... But Reality was skewed at the first step, as his sword broke.

  The sword that Wilmar Royce brought from home could barely hold up against the ice sword of the White Walkers for a few times. The standard weapon used by the Night's Watch soldiers was the most ordinary steel sword, and the material was only "qualified" "It's steel." Its toughness and strength are incomparable to fine steel. The moment it hit the White Walker weapon for the first time, the collision area directly cracked, and the entire sword was beautifully broken into two pieces from the middle. The fragments made a banging sound.

  Gary had never encountered such a situation in his fifty years of life. He was stunned for a moment before he was stabbed calmly by the White Walker with an ice sword.

  "No!" Egg's eyes were split. He was still two meters away at the moment when his companions fought with the White Walkers. He had no time to cooperate. He could only watch his teammates being stabbed down. He yelled in despair and walked away without hesitation. Charge at the enemy from behind.

  For Gary, Iger didn't have much love or admiration - how could a night watchman who had served for forty years as a soldier be admired? Just like myself before time travel, when I arrived at the construction site for inspection on behalf of Party A as a supervisor, it was of course impossible for me to inexplicably make friends with a migrant worker in his fifties or sixties who was still moving bricks and building walls on the construction site and could not read a single word. This is not because they look down on others or discriminate against working people, but because their vision, thinking, and lifestyle are so different that they don't have any common topics or hobbies, so how can they talk about true friendship and affection?

  But no matter what, Gary is his roommate under the same roof, and he is also the brother in black who has taken the most care of the traveler after he arrived at the Great Wall... The most important and most realistic point is that the veteran is his partner when facing the White Walkers at this moment. The only comrade in arms, the only remaining support and spiritual support, he has a series of coordinated plans in his mind. As long as he can induce the White Walkers to reveal some flaws, he can stab the obsidian dagger in his hand into the opponent's body.

  If all goes well, Gary will be his guide and partner in escaping from the Great Wall.

  But now, all plans and intentions have come to nothing. The only remaining teammate was stabbed to the ground by the enemy's sword without even being able to face each other. How could he be the only one left to defeat this human natural enemy with powerful strength and strange abilities?

  "Ah - go to hell!" When hope disappears, no matter how sane or cowardly a person may become, Egg roars hoarsely. At this moment, fear disappears without a trace, and nothing can scare an already A soldier who decided to die with the enemy. He raised the sword in his right hand and slashed at the back of the White Walker's head. He held the obsidian dagger in his left hand and stabbed the enemy with all his strength. If there is no possibility of survival today, then fight like a man. Since death is inevitable, don't even think about it!

  ***

  The pale human figure turned around and raised his weapon to block expressionlessly. This last prey made him a little disappointed. The previous person was defeated by him in this way, but he still attacked him in exactly the same way?

  Is this sword that is as slow as a snail, deformed by anger, and whose trajectory is so clear that I can block or dodge it in countless ways, is the last struggle? Oh, and maybe that little dagger in the other hand?

  The White Walker showed a disdainful expression. It relied on magic to maintain its shape. It had no vital points at all. Apart from cutting off its head, it would cause some trouble to itself and stab it in the stomach... Even if it stood still and allowed to be attacked, there was no way it could attack this thing. Inflict half damage to yourself.

  The White Walker raised his ice sword, blocking and breaking Egger's sword exactly like the scene where he defeated Gary, and then took advantage of the empty door in front of him to make a sweeping sweep, and the ice sword passed through the Night Watchman's body. Body, everything is settled.
