The north wind whistled, bringing large amounts of snowflakes into the cloak. The snowflakes then drilled into the person's neck, armpit, and crotch through the gaps of the armor. It was like a greedy viper, absorbing all of the person's heat and strength.
The sky was gloomy, like a dirty quilt covering the Great Wall. Maybe the night watchers who blew the horn could reach the zenith?
Danny said that she did not have breakfast, but she knew that it was not early in the morning. It was almost afternoon. Lunch time had passed.
The King's Tower was thirty meters high, built close to the 200-meter-high wall. There was a wooden bridge at the top of the tower that led to a wooden ladder in the shape of a zigzag.
When Danny and her companions walked up the wooden ladder, they happened to run into Tanner, the blacksmith, and seventeen or eighteen men in black robes. They were busy fastening their sword belts and stuffing hard black bread with cheese into their mouths.
"Your Majesty, we can't entertain you properly!" Tanner shouted at Danny.
"Then let's save our strength to entertain the King of Savages!" Danny smiled.
At the top of the Great Wall, the night watchers propped up a row of iron pots with poles that were taller than a person, and a big fire was burning inside. The wind was howling, and the flames were swaying.
Someone handed her a bag of warm braised beef and a piece of black bread the size of half a head, but Danny turned it down. It was bone-chillingly cold here. Clouds of white steam came out when she opened her mouth, and the food in her mouth was frozen before she could chew it. How could she have the appetite to eat?
The battlements on both sides of the aisle were made of grey-white mysterious ice. She was not sure if there were boulders inside. Danny had the illusion that she had crawled into a freezer.
In fact, a freezer could be negative 18 degrees Celsius at most, but the temperature here was probably lower than negative 20 degrees Celsius.
The Great Wall was very wide, enough for twelve fully armed knights to ride side by side, but the ground was too slippery because of the ice. In order not to fall, the brothers in black paved a gravel path on the aisle.
Well, they did not cover the entire wide road. There was only a small path for the patrolling soldiers to walk on.
Beside the gravel road, bunches of arrows, crossbows, spears, and ballista bolts were already prepared and spread out for the night watchers to use.
In addition to the arrows, there were also ash-white rocks the size of washbasins. They were stacked three meters high and stretched on the road for dozens of meters. Above the city gate, there were also round wooden barrels filled with pitch and kerosene.
What made Danny feel strange was that there was a row of scarecrow sentries in black standing between the battlements. Each of them was holding a spear. Under the dim sky, the savages hundreds of meters away could not tell which one was real.
Was he borrowing arrows from the straw boat?
To the north of the Great Wall was a dark forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was as vast as the ocean, and flickering red stars were moving slowly in the forest.
The night watchers would regularly clear the trees within eight hundred meters of the city wall. Therefore, between the gray Great Wall and the black forest, there was a broad, white snowy plain that looked like a white handkerchief that was spread out.
At this moment, black dots holding torches walked out of the forest, leaving light traces on the snow-white ground.
The attack line stretched for two kilometers. The savages had almost sent all of their forces into the battlefield.
"Woo woo woo — Woo woo woo —" The night watcher named Red Ellin blew the horn again. Twice, the sound was urgent, indicating that the savages were about to attack.
"Woo woo woo —"
"Woo woo woo —"
"Woo woo woo —"
.....
This time, the savages responded. It was not just one horn. More than ten horns were played at the same time on the open snowy ground. Danny could not tell the number. It was just too noisy. There were also loud flutes and dull drums.
But for some reason, Danny could hear an unusual excitement in these monotonous and chaotic sounds. She understood the savages' voice. "We are coming. We will destroy your city wall, plunder your land, and take your daughters and wives!"
"The savages are so arrogant!" Jon shouted.
"You can hear it too?" Danny looked at her cheap nephew in surprise.
"Catapults, prepare to throw in oil barrels. Burn!" Tanner waved his single arm and roared at the six night watchers beside the two giant catapults.
The oil barrels were quickly stuffed into the catapults. Then, the cloth stuffed into the barrels was ignited by the torches. The wind fanned the fire, making it even more violent.
"Fire!" Neuer shouted.
As the balance arm fell, the throwing arm smashed into the crossbar with a bang. The burning oil barrels flew out under the dim sky, emitting a strange flickering light and rolling smoke.
"Boom!" The oil barrels landed on the snowy ground and exploded into a flaming lotus. Although none of the savages were burned to death, it scared the nearby savages into running away.
"Seven Gods above! Those are mammoths. Are those the legendary giants sitting on them? Good … "Danny had a strange expression. She said with disappointment," So small! "
"They are not small, right?" Jon shook his head and pointed at the long line of mammoths. He said in fear, "The shortest one is three meters tall. The tallest one is almost four and a half meters tall. Ordinary people standing in front of them are like children standing in front of adults."
Danny shook her head and sneered, "Four and a half meters tall? How can they fight with the Megalosaurus if they are not at least ten meters tall? Do you think they can defeat my two dragons? They are still young dragons. They are only two months away from being two years old! "
"Roar!"
Danny was immediately slapped in the face. A giant stood up on the back of a mammoth and raised a wooden stick — a tree trunk. It roared angrily at the night watchers above the city gate. The sound was like thunder from ancient times. The snow on the battlements even trembled. The people on the battlements, including Danny herself, were also shocked. It was as if they had been hit by the "True Dragon Roar".
"So powerful!" Danny stopped smiling and said seriously, "It seems that I am a bit arrogant. Being twice as tall as a human does not mean that its strength is also twice as strong. I am afraid that if ten people were to fight a giant in a tug-of-war, the giant would still win."
"Continue!" Neuer shouted. The catapults were loaded again. Then two barrels of burning asphalt flew across the sky and fell into the enemy's army.
Well, it was very embarrassing. It seemed that another savage was not killed.
It was because the barrels flew in a parabola for a long time. Although the savages were reckless, they were not blind. How could they not see the bright flames?
"Stop throwing. It will be a waste if you can't hit anyone." Danny shouted at the one-armed man.
"We can't stop attacking. I have to boost their morale." The one-armed blacksmith lowered his voice and pointed at the night watchers who were shivering behind the battlements.
"What are they afraid of?" Danny didn't want him to. She deliberately shouted so that everyone could hear.
"It is just an army of twenty to thirty thousand savages and hundreds of thousands of savage tribes. I have seen this kind of battle many times."
The blacksmith was stunned. He sighed and said, "We only have twenty warriors left. After the battle last night, most of the villagers of Mole Village left. "
"Wrong. You still have two Megalosaurus."
"Then let the Megalosaurus go out and burn them!" A woman with unkempt hair poked her head out from behind a scarecrow.
Danny had met this woman when she was on the wall. She was a prostitute from Mole Village, Ze.
She was holding a long-armed crossbow. There was no trace of cowardice on her face. She was as brave as a female warrior.
"I am waiting for someone." Danny smiled at her. "You are very brave. Braver than the men of Mole Village!"
The prostitute Ze blushed and asked awkwardly, "Your Majesty, who … are you waiting for?"
"Mansred?!" Jon blurted out.
The blacksmith Tanner nodded and said, "Yes, burn the King of Savages. If the Megalosaurus appears too early, Mansred will definitely hide."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …" While they were talking, a sharp whistling sound came from outside the wall.
The heads of the scarecrows that were placed between the battlements suddenly exploded as if someone had stuffed a grenade into them. Dany immediately crouched down and shouted, "Be careful of the giant's arrows! It's the seventh level of hell! It has flown 200 meters, but it is still so powerful. "
"Ah — —"
But her warning was still a little late. The giant archers were mainly focusing their fire near the catapults. A two-meter-long, thumb-thick wooden pole pierced through the lower abdomen of a night watcher. It was like a feather stuck to an arrow. It did not slow down the arrow at all. The arrow flew diagonally into the sky as if it was nothing.
"F * ck!"
Danny was dumbfounded. The arrow carried the night watcher with it for another 100 meters. At that time, he was still alive. His screams were louder than the horn, and the whole Dark Castle was shrouded in the horrifying howls of death.
The monk from the Dark Castle, Cyleda, looked at the unlucky bastard who was flying into the distance with fear in his eyes. He gulped down a mouthful of wine and sang the Song of the Madonna with a trembling voice. "Ah, the gentle Madonna, the source of mercy, bless your son to travel through time and space, to stop the arrows, to block the swords, to let them see a better tomorrow …"
The one-armed blacksmith did not care about the wailing that was getting farther and farther away. He quickly poked his head out of the battlements and glanced down. He was shocked and angry, "Oh no, the savages are going to attack the gate!"
Hundreds of giants stopped 500 meters away from the gate. They were shooting at the battlements in a three-stage shooting pattern. The night watchers did not dare to look up.
There were also a dozen particularly tall giants riding mammoths. They led thousands of savages past the giant archers and surged toward the city gate.
Barristan ignited a bucket of asphalt on the walkway. He lifted the unburned bucket and threw it out of the battlements.
"Boom!" A giant arrow like a javelin hit the bucket that was about 10 meters away. Flames fell down like raindrops.
The barbarians with fur and unkempt hair down below who were touched by the burning, viscous pitch would immediately howl and throw down their weapons, rolling around in the snow.
There was also a mammoth whose fur on its neck was ignited. It roared and broke up the formation of the savages. Countless savages were trampled to death.
"Good!"
The one-armed blacksmith urged the night watchers to learn from the white knights. The two of them carried a wooden bucket, lit it up, and threw it out. There were also people who directly threw basin-sized stones down.
"The Great Wall is here. As long as the night watchers do not make any obvious mistakes, no matter how many savages come, it will be useless," Danny murmured.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Suddenly, there was a sound that sounded like someone hitting a shield. Yes, the sound was amplified by a hundred decibels.
"Damn it, the mammoth is hitting the gate," Tanner cursed loudly.
The giant on the mammoth's back was holding a huge oak shield that was as wide as two double beds put together. As for its thickness … Anyway, it had already been hit by two or three huge rocks, and there were still raging flames burning on it, but the shield still did not break.
"Boom! Boom!" The mammoth let out a loud sound like a train whistle. It took a big step forward and hit the shield again …
"Crack! “
The crisp sound of the oak cracking made everyone on the city wall feel cold. It was not the giant's shield that cracked. The gate was also made of thick oak. Now, there was a big hole in it.
"The city has been breached!" Professor Perestan who had been hiding in the corner and warming himself by the fire screamed like a woman.
"…" Danny was speechless. Without a doubt, she was slapped in the face again. This was a fantasy world. There were creatures called Magic Beasts!
Like the Megalosaurus, the Direwolf and the Shadow Lynx, giants and mammoths were top-tier legendary creatures. She should not judge the strength of these Magic Beasts with scientific thinking.
The blacksmith Tanner was stunned. He gritted his teeth and said to Barristan, "Sir, you command the battle on the city wall. I will bring people to the gate to kill those bastards."
Without waiting for the White Knight to speak, Danny dissuaded him loudly, "Don't get too excited. There are still two dragons down there. If they burn in the gate, it will be worse than being smashed to death by stones. The giants will not be able to break out."
"Uh …" The one-armed blacksmith was stunned. He nodded and said, "Okay, this is a good idea. Burn them to death."
"Wait, I remember that there is a thick layer of ice at the gate. Will it collapse?" Jon Snow said.
