"There's a monster in front. Don't push. Don't push so hard. Go back. Don't —"
The barbarians in front struggled with all their might. Their cries were mournful and pitiful, but the giants behind them did not care. They only pushed forward excitedly …
"Surrender and you'll be spared!" Barristan raised his metal horn and shouted.
"I …" The barbarian's expression was twisted. He was hesitant.
"Hiss —" Blackie stuck his head out. The ferocious dragon head occupied the barbarian's entire vision. Sparks were even spewing out of its wine-sized nostrils.
"I surrender. I surrender. I surrender …" The barbarians gave up struggling and rushed out of the city gate. They threw away their weapons and ran away from Blackie.
Eddie, Galen, and a few other Night Watchers approached them with crossbows. They shouted, "Kneel!"
"Put on the chains." Eddie threw three chains used by ordinary prisoners over.
Even though there were only four Night Watchers, the three barbarians who were scared out of their wits by the Megalosaurus did not resist. They obediently knelt on the ground and picked up the chains hesitantly …
"Awoo —" A deafening wail came from behind them. When they turned around, they saw the Giant King Marg, who was almost four and a half meters tall, on fire. Thick smoke billowed as he rolled wildly on the ground.
That ferocious white monster would whip him with its tail from time to time. Marg's bones cracked and he cried out in pain.
Shivering violently, the three barbarians quickly put the chains on each other.
Seeing that the Giant King was lying motionless in the mud, Danny said to Jon, "Let the barbarian captives tie up the giants."
Just like that, the barbarians and giants lined up to enter the city gate and came out from the other side. The barbarians in front refused to give up until they saw the coffin. They fearlessly rushed toward Blackie. After being melted into candles by the dragon's flames, the barbarians at the back immediately wiped their tears and surrendered when they saw the coffin. The people behind them would rather die than surrender, setting an example for the people behind them …
This cycle continued. When it was around dusk, the wide courtyard was already covered with the 'corpses' of the giants. There were a total of forty-five of them!
They were either broken, charred and smoking, or dead. But regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they were all captured by the barbarians. Their hands and feet were tied with chains.
There were even more savages, and the handcuffs used to tie them up were not enough. They could only chase them into the stone prison.
"Eh, there's no one else?" After waiting for a while, no savages came out. Danny couldn't help but feel strange and said, "Who wants to go inside and see what the savages are doing?"
The barbarian army definitely hadn't retreated. The night watchers on the city wall were still fighting!
"I'll go." Toad Toad volunteered himself and stepped on the dirty brown human flesh to refine oil into the city gate. Not long after, he ran out quickly and shouted, "There are still barbarians inside. They seem to know that it is dangerous outside, so they are all hiding there and not moving."
"They — eh?" Danny raised her head abruptly, and her purple pupils contracted. Under the dusky sky, a goshawk was circling and dancing in the snowflakes. Its figure was sometimes hidden and sometimes present. It was so inconspicuous, yet so eye-catching.
"Transfiguration!" She gritted her teeth and laughed coldly.
"Big Black …" Danny shouted and ran up the stone steps. She jumped and landed on Big Black's back.
"Squeak —"
"Puff, puff, puff —" Big Black flapped its wings hard, stirring up a gust of wind in the courtyard, and carried Danny up into the sky.
"Screech —" The goshawk was very alert. As soon as the black dragon took off, it let out a long cry and flapped its wings high into the sky.
Its speed was getting faster and faster, almost reaching a hundred kilometers per hour in ten seconds. Large pieces of snow were thrown at Danny like small stones. She had to squint her eyes and crawl on Big Black's back.
"Screech —" The night watchers on the city wall saw a black shadow jump up quickly, and the wind stirred up by the turbulent airflow blew away the thin layer of snow on the city wall.
"Dragon Queen is riding a dragon into the sky!" One of the night watchers shouted.
"Mansred's location is still uncertain. She's going …" The one-armed blacksmith's eyes focused. He saw the goshawk flapping its wings wildly in the snow.
"The Megalosaurus is chasing a falcon!?" The night watchers were puzzled.
"Screech —" The goshawk had flown more than three thousand meters in the sky, thinking that the snow was blocking the vision of the Megalosaurus. He couldn't even see the huge Great Wall below him. However, after circling half a circle, a terrible sense of danger hit him like a real storm. Almost instinctively, he began to drive the goshawk to fall rapidly in the direction of the camp of the savages beyond the Great Wall.
"Squeak —" The Megalosaurus roared, and its voice was a hundred times louder and more majestic than the giant's howl. The noisy battle cries, the neighing of horses, the mooing of cows, and the whistling of mammoths on the battlefield seemed to have hit the pause button. For a moment, it was so quiet that only the whistling of the wind could be heard.
Everyone looked up at the huge black monster in the sky.
"This is the power of the Megalosaurus. The power of the Megalosaurus is terrifying!" Looking at the black dragon flying freely in the wind, the one-armed Tanner seemed to be in a daze.
"Screech —" The goshawk didn't fly to the shapeshifter's side as Danny expected. Or rather, when the black dragon slowed down and followed behind the goshawk, the shapeshifter also guessed the dragon rider's thoughts.
The goshawk gave up on the idea of nimbly changing directions to get rid of the Megalosaurus. The Megalosaurus was much faster and more agile than the goshawk. The heavy draconic aura slowly but surely took over the goshawk's mind, making the shapeshifter in the goshawk want to give up on his pet.
But he also understood one thing: for a shapeshifter, having a goshawk as a companion was extremely rare. It was even very likely that this goshawk was the only flying pet he had in his life.
So, the goshawk stopped circling around and fell vertically from the sky as if it had been shot by an arrow.
But the Megalosaurus was more familiar with this action than the goshawk, and followed closely behind …
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …" Suddenly, a huge arrow that was two meters long flew past her slowly. It was so slow that she could grab it with one hand and was completely harmless. But Danny knew that this height was already close to the shooting range of the giant's arrows.
"Screech —" Blackie gracefully glided across the sky in an arc, leaving the giant archers' formation and flying towards the continuous camp at the edge of the forest.
Since her trump card had been exposed, then …
After closing the distance, Danny hesitated, and the murderous intent in her heart instantly disappeared by 99%.
There were about thirty thousand savages rushing out of the forest. There were riders on horses and leopards, a hundred mammoth riders, more than three hundred giants running wildly on the ground with tree trunks in their hands, and dozens of wolf spirits and shapeshifters.
There were barbarians from the mountains, sailors from the Aral Sea, cannibal tribes from the Great Glacier, cavemen with dyed faces, chariots pulled by dogs from the frozen coast, and hard-footed people whose feet were like boiled leather …
Danny did not hesitate or have the heart to kill these strange savages. But when the Megalosaurus flew to the edge of the forest, there were children around the yurt who were having a snowball fight, women and old people who were collecting firewood in the forest … There were more than a hundred thousand people, and they were all refugees!!!
"Dracarys!" She ordered.
"Boom —" The twenty-meter long dragon flame was like a plow, and it swept across the savages' camp from the east to the west. Mud and snow splashed two meters high, and women and children cried as they fled into the depths of the forest.
The angry and sorrowful cries of the giants and men came from the battlefield, and the attacking troops immediately collapsed. The cavalry, foot soldiers, and giants gave up on the Great Wall's gate that they had been guarding for hours, and strode towards the camp, towards their wives and children.
"What …"
Looking at the dragon flame column that looked like the fire sword of the gods raging in the camp and the forest, and causing a lot of smoke and fire, the night watchers on the Great Wall were shocked and stunned.
"This is the Megalosaurus. Even the Prairie of Fury was not as powerful as this, right?" One of the night watchers could not help but exclaim.
Another night watcher wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said with a trembling voice, "Fortunately, the Dragon Queen is on our side. I can't imagine what we would do if the Megalosaurus came to attack the Great Wall."
"It seems …" Tanner, the blacksmith, looked for a while and said in confusion, "Her Majesty seems to have avoided the savages' tents, and the dragon flame is all on the open ground."
"That's right, the dragon flame is not even sweeping in a straight line. Her Majesty has accurately avoided all the tents and savages," an old man said.
Behind the battlements, there was a beautifully decorated brass lens from Myer, which was supported on a tripod. It belonged to Scholar Yimont and was used to observe the stars at night.
At this time, the lens was turned downwards. An old night watcher had been investigating the enemy, hoping to find the King of Savages, Mance Rayder, in the tents by the forest.
Well, Jon was not familiar with Mance Rayder, but the old night watchers all knew the King of Savages. Mance Rayder grew up in the Dark Castle, and ten years ago, he gave up his oath as a night watcher and went beyond the Great Wall to be a savage.
Tanner and a few other night watchers went to the lens and took a closer look. They found that only the forest behind the tents was burning. In the smoke, they could see that the tents were still there. There were no corpses piled up like mountains, and there was not even a single dead person. There were only countless savages running and crying in the mud after the fire.
"What is she doing?" the red-nosed old doctor asked in confusion.
"The savages are retreating." The prostitute Ze pointed at the savages running around and laughed. "No matter what His Majesty thinks, we only lost one unlucky bastard and defeated a hundred thousand savages. We won!"
As she spoke, she hugged the night watchers beside her and kissed them. The night watchers were happy to reciprocate.
Well, many of them were Ze's benefactors!
Every night watcher got a garlic kiss from her. Even the red-nosed old doctor was pressed against a box and kissed a few times.
.....
Night, in the hall of the Dark Castle.
The fireplace was blazing, and the living room was as warm as spring. The wooden table under the chandelier was filled with fragrant food. There were toasted bread, fried salt cod, grilled sausages, sauced beef, yogurt, oatmeal mixed with carrots and bits of turnip …
The night watchers, the orphaned children of Mole Village, the prostitute Ze, and a few farmers who came to do chores. Forty or fifty people were sitting at the two rows of long wooden tables.
There was a wooden table placed horizontally at the head of the table. Danny was sitting in the center. On her left and right were Scholar Yimont and Sir Barristan. Together with the three of them were Sir Vinton Stowe and the blacksmith Tanner.
Tanner was a blacksmith master and also the acting castellan. Vinton Stowe was of noble birth and had been a ranger for eighty years. He was about the same age as Yimont's master, but he was not as healthy as the old scholar. He was a little retarded.
Well, Jon and Perestan were sitting in the 'public seats'. Scholar Yimont was still very confused about this. He thought that Danny had mistreated her doctor.
However, the red-nosed old man was very self-aware. He was embarrassed but firmly rejected Scholar Yimont's offer of his seat.
The old scholar vaguely guessed that there must be something going on, so he did not force it.
The blacksmith was a temporary commander, and Sir Stowe was the acting castellan of the Dark Castle.
