Tonight, the barbarians suffered heavy losses.
Tonight, the Other Ghosts suffered heavy losses.
Tonight, there were several great heroes who killed the Other Ghosts.
Besides Danny, Barristan, Jon Snow, and Ulma each killed a White Ghost.
Well, White Ghosts, not Ghouls.
The corpses in the diamond-shaped formation were collected by the suicide squad and piled under the trees. The Other Ghosts could not "harvest" the corpses with chains.
Therefore, the Other Ghosts who sneaked into the hunting area could only fight hand-to-hand. Of course, the Other Ghosts were not afraid of fighting.
When the five Other Ghosts approached the small hill where the White Knights were stationed, they were faced with 19 vigilant rangers and a White Knight armed to the teeth.
The key was that since Danny dared to lead the team to capture the Other Ghosts, she would definitely equip them with the Other Ghosts' weapons.
It was impossible for everyone to have a steel sword, but there were many Dragon Crystal daggers and arrows in the Night Watchers' warehouse.
Sam came back with a female barbarian and a bastard son. He also brought back a big bag of Dragon Crystal weapons.
In the afternoon, after Sam told everyone that the Dragon Crystal daggers had a special effect on Other Ghosts, Bowen Maxi immediately cleaned up the Night Watchers' warehouse and found a big box of Dragon Crystal weapons in a dusty corner.
There was no doubt that Dark Castle had many Dragon Crystal weapons.
First of all, Dragon Crystal sounded awesome, but it was actually obsidian that could be mined from volcanoes. Although rare, it was not rare. The key was that it could not be mass-produced.
Secondly, the Night Watchers had a history of nearly 10,000 years. They had experienced two long nights and had rich experience in dealing with Other Ghosts. At least, the Night Watchers were like this thousands of years ago.
A long time ago, the Night Watchers had consciously stored many Dragon Crystal weapons.
Finally, before the Andals came, the Children of the Forest would send a batch of Dragon Crystal weapons to the Night Watchers every year. This process lasted for at least 2,000 years.
As for whether the Dragon Crystals from thousands of years ago could be kept until now … The 19 cities on the Great Wall, including Dark Castle, Eastwatch, and Shadow Tower, had all existed when the Great Wall was first built.
In other words, Dark Castle had a history of at least 8,000 years. Its underground warehouse had also existed for 8,000 years. There were even many materials from 8,000 years ago.
Well, if you look carefully, you might find an eight-thousand-year-old ham. The warehouse was under the Great Wall, and it was colder than an ice cellar.
If they went to the Dark Castle, they would find countless relics that were eight thousand years old, including the Commander's Tower where Erlu lived and the King's Tower where Danny lived. These towers had been built long ago, but they were renamed in the last two hundred years.
The fireplace that the Dragon Queen had been using for the past few days was also an antique with eight thousand years of history …
Alright, I digress.
The dragon crystal weapons that the Night Watchers had prepared were definitely not enough to deal with the long night ahead, but it was enough to fight a battle of attrition.
The suicide squad was equipped with Dragon Crystal scimitars, short swords, and at least one dagger. At the same time, they were also equipped with crossbows and bows. The arrows were all Dragon Crystal arrowheads.
When the five Deviant Ghosts quietly approached the Ranger squad, they were faced with a group of fierce men wielding Dragon Crystal weapons.
The bows and crossbows were fired at the same time. In just one wave, four of the five Deviant Ghosts were hit by the arrows. The arrows fell on the armor and made clanking sounds. However, as long as the arrows hit the arms, necks, cheeks, and other parts of the body that were exposed outside the armor, they would immediately bleed profusely. They would be injured just like normal people who were hit by arrows.
Well, the Deviant Ghosts could not be hurt by iron, bronze, or wood weapons. However, if the Dragon Crystal and Valleglia's steel did not hit the vital parts, they could not kill the Deviant Ghosts.
The Deviant Ghost whose neck was shot by Ulma struggled for a moment before turning into a pool of cold liquid. In close combat, Barristan used his sword to stab the Deviant Ghost whose cheek was scratched to death.
The remaining three saw that the situation was not good and retreated.
Or rather, they strategically moved.
When they realized that their sneak attack had failed, the Deviant Ghosts directly summoned the Corpse Ghosts. Other than the barbarians who died in the hands of the Deer Association during the day, the Deviant Ghosts had been searching for corpses beyond the Great Wall.
Barbarians, giants, mammoths, seals, wolves, large sea snakes, and so on. As long as the corpses were not burned, even skeletons were their targets.
Then, the suicide squad met with a tragedy …
"Where did the Dragon Queen go?" Yergret shot an arrow and killed a Corpse Ghost that was pouncing on the fire. She asked loudly for the umpteenth time.
"Something must have happened at the Great Wall," Jon's forehead was covered in sweat. He swung his sword and killed the Corpse Ghost that was pouncing on him. He said without turning his head, "Hold on for a little longer. Even if Her Majesty Danny Rize is held back, the Deviant Ghosts will retreat when the sun comes out."
.....
When the gong sounded for the first time, the squad of rangers who had killed two White Ghosts and had their confidence boosted immediately rode their horses to provide support.
Then, they saved Jon, Alisa, and Yergret who were being chased by the Ice Spiders.
Well, Jon who was at the northernmost end was the first to be attacked.
The ones who attacked them were not Corpse Ghosts, but two Deviant Ghosts riding Ice Spiders.
Again, if hiding in the trees was useful, the Long Night would not be called the apocalyptic disaster.
Even Yasore Ahai was once chased by the Ice Spiders.
There were such stories in the Northern Land, Asia, the Barren Land, and the Western Continent of Ursus. Before forging the "Light Emissary," Yasore Ahai challenged the Deviant Ghosts many times and ended in failure. His long sword shattered like thousands of pieces of ice crystals. In the end, he could only flee with the broken sword. The Deviant Ghosts rode Ice Spiders the size of hounds and chased the last hero …
The two Deviant Ghosts rode on the huge Ice Spiders, followed by a large group of "small" spiders the size of hounds. They directly pounced on the iron tree under Jon.
The Ice Spiders did not have the speed of the apes, but they could quickly climb the tree trunk and chase after Jon.
The two Deviant Ghosts each rode a big spider, followed by twenty small spiders. In the process of approaching Jon, they stepped on traps, pits, and hunting nets. They lost six spiders — killed by Jon and the others with arrows.
The Ice Spiders were living magic creatures. After death, they could be resurrected by the Deviant Ghosts. But the Dragon Crystal Arrows could really kill them.
The first to be targeted was Jon. He was the fiercest and killed two Ice Spiders by himself.
If it was not for Yergret, Jon would have died in this wave … Uh, if he died, he would become a Corpse Ghost and could not be resurrected. The Dragon Queen would not have to worry about her nephew rebelling.
The female savage changed from a corpse guard to a dead person. She climbed down from the tree trunk and cursed at the Deviant Ghosts, crazily attracting aggro.
The Ice Spiders that were approaching Jon changed their direction and pounced on the red-haired woman.
Fortunately, the ranger team was close enough. It was a straight line distance of three hundred meters, so they rushed over in five minutes.
After that, Jon and Yergret combined their sword and arrow to kill an Ice Spider Knight.
After another Deviant Ghost escaped on the Ice Spider, Barristan made a prompt decision: There was an error in the intelligence, hiding in the treetops was no longer safe. He immediately lit up the treetops, gave up on the hunting spots, and gathered all the suicide squad together.
Because there was no signal set to gather the suicide squad, the ranger could only lead Jon and the other two to the next hunting spot.
Two hours later, the treetops of the 20 hunting spots were lit up, and all the suicide squad members gathered together. They used the oil cans that they carried with them to burn the tree trunks, forming a loose defensive line on the small hill.
Well, at this time, there were only 34 people left in the suicide squad. The 66 warriors were either killed by the Ice Spiders at the hunting spots or killed by the Corpse Ghosts after joining the ranger team.
Around the small mound, there were hundreds and thousands of Corpse Ghosts. Some of them had just died, including the suicide squad members who were killed. Some had rotten skin and swollen muscles, some had died for a few years, most of their flesh had fallen off, and some were just a skeleton.
It was a combination of zombies and Undead Calamity.
The cold fog was mixed in with the strong wind, blowing towards the hill. The hope in the hearts of the suicide squad was like the flames in the bonfire in front of them, extinguishing bit by bit.
The white knight gave up on defense. He held his sword with both hands and slashed left and right. Like a high-horsepower cutting machine, he brought about a rain of blood among the Corpse Ghosts.
The Corpse Ghosts constantly hit him with their claws, bronze knives, and wooden spears, but other than a series of banging sounds, the old knight's body shook a few times without any damage.
There were even Deviant Ghosts who threw ice swords to attack him, hitting him in the middle of the back, sending the tall old knight flying three to four meters into the Corpse Ghosts.
At that time, Jon and the others thought that "Fearless" Barristan had finally ended his legendary life in the hands of the Deviant Ghosts.
Who knew that the old man would roar like a tiger, rolling on the ground and waving his long sword. The rotten thighs of the Corpse Ghosts were like wheat in the field, and a large area was cut off.
When there was room to struggle, the old knight quickly got up and continued to fight. Other than a layer of light blue frost on his back, there was almost no damage.
He was the only one who took on almost a quarter of the defensive pressure for the suicide squad. He was extremely brave and fierce.
"Hold on, Her Majesty Danny Rize will be here soon." The white knight retreated into the crowd and encouraged everyone loudly.
"Swoosh —" Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the Corpse Ghosts. It jumped more than two meters high and landed directly on the white knight's head. It was a boy of seven or eight years old. His eyes shone with a faint blue light, and his two skinny little hands were holding his helmet and pulling it with all his might.
"Yegret!" Jon shouted.
"Whoosh —" The red-haired girl immediately drew her bow and shot the Ghost Child who had attacked the old knight, turning it into a few pieces of broken corpse.
"This is already the fifth one. The Deviant Ghosts are too smart." The red-haired girl shouted in shock and anger. "You Tin Woodmen, be careful. There aren't many Dragon Crystal Arrows left."
"Enough." Barristan suddenly stopped and looked up with a smile. "Her Majesty is here."
"She's here?" Everyone was pleasantly surprised. They looked up and saw a small red dot rising above their heads. "What's that?"
Just as they were wondering, the red dot expanded rapidly. It was the size of a bowl, the size of a basin …
The strange phenomenon in the sky became more and more obvious. The crimson light drove the dark fog nearby. It was as if the sun had risen, and red light covered the ground.
In just a few seconds, the sky near the hills changed from the darkness before dawn to the rising sun. The scenery within a few hundred meters was enveloped in red light.
Even the maggots frozen to death on the Corpse Ghosts' teeth could be seen clearly.
"Seven Gods above, what, what is this?" Sir Alisa murmured.
"The Gods have answered our prayers and sent down divine punishment to punish the Deviant Ghosts!" Ulma glared.
"The sun has come out early." The red-haired girl shouted.
"Uh, that's Her Majesty …" The white knight mumbled.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —" The sun fell from the sky, and the crimson sun smashed straight down on everyone's heads. A hot gust of wind blew through the sky, and the frozen fog brought by the Deviant Ghosts was blown away.
"Ah, it's coming down. Run!" Someone shouted.
"Don't run. Quick, climb down!" The white knight shouted.
Suddenly, the falling Great Sun suddenly expanded, pulling the round dough into a donut.
This time, the old knight didn't need to shout. Everyone knew what the Dragon Queen meant. She was hiding in the donut.
"Boom boom boom —"
Starting from 500 meters in the air, the donut grew bigger and bigger. By the time it landed on the ground, it had formed a ring of fire with a diameter of 30 meters (inside) and 50 meters (outside).
There was no explosion, only a ring of burning, three-foot-tall dragon flames.
