The blacksmith continued to stay on the wall to direct the night watchers to throw stones, oil barrels, and spears at the gate. Danny, Barristan, Jon, and four or five night watchers took the lift down to stop the barbarians in the gate.
Well, inside the Great Wall, there was a wide groove. The night watchers built a steel frame in the shape of a well at the mouth of the groove and built a human-powered lift with pulley blocks.
They climbed into the big iron cage at the mouth of the well. Jon pulled the rope with the bell at the end three times.
Then they stood in the iron cage stupidly. The wind was howling, but the cage did not move at all.
Just as Dani was about to ask, the iron cage shook violently and began to move horizontally. It moved shakily from the Great Wall to the hollow mouth of the well. Then, the ropes creaked and the iron cage began to descend.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Danny frowned and said, "Is this thing safe?"
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I've been on the Great Wall for two or three years, and there has never been an accident. In fact, the scenery here is very good. I can almost see half the world. "Jon wiped the snow from his beard and comforted her.
Ghost is good. I don't need to ride a dragon to see higher and farther to discourage you. But the scenery below … windowless fortresses, collapsed walls, and courtyards full of rubble. It's so empty and boring.
Further away, there was an endless wasteland made up of hills ravaged by cold wind, rugged and dangerous rocks, and wild lands dotted with snow.
What do you want me to see?
"How did you survive these years?" Danny could not help but sympathize with the poor boy.
Jon Snow misunderstood her and began to recount his career. "When I first came, I was a new recruit. I practiced swordsmanship with the instructor in the morning and worked in the afternoon. Sometimes, I took Whitey — oh, my direwolf — out to hunt for extra food for the commander-in-chief's dinner.
If there were no barbarians attacking the city, Master Tanner would also arrange for a few brothers to hunt some wild deer and water deer for His Majesty.
Other than hunting, I was mostly doing odd jobs in the blacksmith's shop, helping Master Tanner turn the whetstone or pump the bellows. There was still a lot of work to be done, such as standing guard, running errands, delivering letters, cleaning the stables, cleaning the horses, making bows and arrows, taking care of the messenger crows, checking accounts …
Later, I became the commander-in-chief's clerk and began to manage the Night Watchers with him until we went north beyond the Great Wall … But now, I am His Majesty's guard. "
The guards at the gate?
Danny laughed in her heart, but she asked, "Where's your direwolf? Bai Ling. "
"I lost it." Jon said dejectedly.
"Uh, the direwolf can still be lost?"
"I was captured by the barbarians. When I followed them up the Great Wall, Bai Ling was blocked on the other side."
"What I mean is," Danny looked at the other night watchers hesitantly. "Can't you sense its location?"
"Perception? Why can I sense it? "Jon was puzzled.
"Jon, do you know who you are?"
"The … illegitimate son of the House of Stark. But I am now a night watcher! "Jon said with a gloomy face.
"No, those are the identities given to you by others. Do you know who you are?"
"Your Majesty, what are you trying to say?"
"Creak — Boom —"
The iron cage stopped. Barristan and 'Melancholy' Eddie worked together to open the gate. Danny was the first to get out of the cage. An old man in black who was leaning on the winch and panting immediately came forward to salute her. The little boy who was helping him stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"Clap clap clap!" Danny clapped her hands in the direction of the King's Tower and shouted, "Big Black, Little White, come here!"
"Hiss —"
"Hiss —"
The two dragons immediately flapped their wings and glided to the courtyard in front of the gate.
"The ice is indeed a bit thick."
The gate was not spacious. It only allowed one person to ride in and out. It was difficult for two horses to ride side by side. There were also many twists and turns inside. It was not a straight road.
Inside the stone cave, the two walls, the floor, and the ceiling were all made of rock. However, there was a layer of gray ice more than ten meters thick at the entrance. If it was burned by the dragon flames, it would be in danger of collapsing.
Of course, even if the ice layer collapsed, it would not affect the Great Wall. The key was that the entrance was blocked. The only way in and out of the Great Wall for hundreds of miles would be destroyed in a short period of time. They could not even repair the broken gate at the other end of the gate.
"Thump, thump, thump …" The sound of metal twisting came from the gate. Danny knew that the giants were ramming against the iron fence.
There was an old oak door inlaid with nails that was thirty centimeters thick at the entrance and exit. There were also three iron fences inside the gate.
"Why don't we put them in the courtyard and burn them? The gate is narrow and only one giant can enter at a time. Two dragons can't burn one person to death?" Barristan said.
Danny thought for a moment and asked Jon, "Do you have chains to tie the giants?"
"Do you want to capture the giants?" Jon was shocked.
"Giants are wild and hard to tame. Why should we capture them?" 'Depressed' Eddie was confused.
The gray-haired guy came from a family of knights and used to be an attendant of the commander-in-chief. His position among the night watchers was almost as high as Jon's.
"Farming, building the city, working as coolies, and being exhibits. What can't you do? Isn't the Great Wall that you are guarding built by the giants? "
"The Great Wall was built by 'City Builder' Brandon Stark." Jon corrected him.
"Brandon only drew the design. At most, he added some magic circles. The 'farmer workers' must be the giants."
Danny waved her hand and ended the topic. She asked again, "Do you have chains to tie the giants?"
"Can the chains to drag the iron cages?" Jon asked.
Danny looked sideways. The chains on the elevator shaft were as thick as her wrist. Jon also said that they had never broken in the past few years.
"Yes. Eddie, you take these brothers to move the chains. Knight, Jon, you two stand aside. Later — Boom!"
A thunderous sound from the gate interrupted their conversation.
"Roar, roar, roar, roar …" The giant's roar came through the gap of the gate, almost shattering their eardrums.
"The giants, the giants are here …" Galen's face was pale and he could not speak.
Dani glanced at the rattling oak gates and said calmly, "Don't worry, don't panic. Everything is under control. Blackie! "
"Huff, huff …" Blackie poked its head out and glanced at the night watchers with its black and red eyes. Two thin snake-like nostrils spurted out.
"Ugh …" Galen, Todd and the rest of the Night Watchers shuddered. As expected, they were not afraid … They were still afraid, but the target of their fear had changed from a giant to a giant dragon.
"We will move the chains now." They breathed a sigh of relief and ran away.
The wooden buckets, rice bags, wooden stakes and other miscellaneous items that stopped the barbarian assault team last night had been cleared out. The courtyard was empty.
Well, there were a few towers on both sides of the gate. The stone towers were built on a three-meter-high stone foundation. Other than that, there was an open space.
Jon and Barristan stood on the stone steps in front of the King's Tower and looked at the head-sized fist marks on the oak door. The giant's roar was getting louder and louder. The blacksmiths on the Great Wall had been climbing up the battlements and looking down.
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Eddie and the others were panting as they carried two large baskets of chains to the stone steps of the King's Tower. The giant finally smashed a hole in the oak door. They saw his furry arms.
His grayish-white hair was longer than Jon's hair. He looked like a long-haired gorilla that was several times bigger.
"Roar, roar …" The giant at the gate shouted excitedly in an ancient language that Danny could not understand. The excited howls of the giants and barbarians echoed in the tunnel.
"That's a bit too much." Jon was worried.
"Don't be afraid. Look at their arms. They are so hairy. If they spit dragon flames, they would be burned into a torch." Barristan said.
The Frost Giants that lived in the extreme north had long body hair. Otherwise, how could they survive in such a cold environment?
"Boom!" Wood chips flew. A four-meter-tall hairy giant staggered out of the gate. He ran a few steps in the courtyard and fell into the mud.
"Roar, roar …" He did not care about his sorry state. He opened his bloody mouth and laughed wildly. Even Blackie and Little White could hear his pride and joy.
Then, "Bang …"
The laughter stopped abruptly!
As soon as the giant got up from the mud, Blackie, who had been waiting impatiently at the gate, immediately whipped him in the back of the head with his tail. The giant rolled on the ground like a ball and rolled more than ten meters away. He landed in front of Little White and whipped him with his tail again.
"Bang …"
The hairy giant did not even have time to scream before he lay on the ground in a bloody mess. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.
Dani saw that the giant's head was deflated, and the blood was like a tap that had been opened. She could not help but grit her teeth and said, "Be gentle, be gentle, don't kill it!"
"Roar …" Another three-and-a-half-meter-tall giant rushed out. He only roared once before he looked at the White Dragon in front of him and froze.
Even if the giant was stunned, Blackie, who was guarding the gate, did not let him go. "Bang …"
The bowling ball moved, but this time it did not hit the giant's head. Its tail hit the giant's back. Therefore, he could still roll on the ground and howl.
The night watchers held the chains and hesitated to go forward to tie him up.
"Don't worry about him. Cripple him first, but force him to kneel and surrender later," Danny shouted.
The third one who rushed out was not a giant, but four or five savages with bronze axes.
"Surrender and you will be spared!" Barristan shouted with a megaphone on the stone steps.
"Kill — boom!"
One of the barbarians had a ferocious look on his face. He raised his axe and rushed towards Blackie. Then, a bright red dragon flame poured down from above. The five barbarians let out a hurried howl and melted like candles thrown into a steel furnace.
Well, the temperature of the Black Dragon Flame was higher than before.
The process of Megalosaurus spitting dragon flame was actually casting magic. There was no "flamethrower fuel tank" in the dragon's stomach.
In fact, when they spit dragon flame, their mouths were empty. There was nothing in them. The dragon flame appeared out of thin air in the space between the upper and lower jaws. It was not some kind of chemical liquid that was spat out from the throat.
It was a complete magic reaction.
When there was a meditation vortex in Blackie's Spirit Ocean, the magic power changed from disordered to orderly, instinctive to perfect control. Its strength increased several times.
"Seven Gods above, the dragon flame is so scary. Fortunately, it did not directly spray into the city gate." Jon and the others were stunned by such a horrible scene. Their faces were pale.
"Ah, what kind of monster is this!" The savages at the back saw their companions in such a miserable state and quickly stopped. They shrank into the hole and struggled to howl. "No, no, don't use so much force. Ah, ah, ah, don't use too much force. Go back, go back …"
Uh, the giant behind pushed them forward quickly.
