Under the orders of the lords, the human heavy infantry panicked and formed a defensive formation in front of the collapsed ice wall.

The imminent hand-to-hand combat with the terrifying undead made everyone in front of the ruins of the Great Wall of Despair very nervous and scared, and everyone held their breath, only the cold wind whistling from the land of eternal winter could be heard in their ears.

"Smack! Syllable! Snap ......" A slow, but loud footstep came from the other side of the Great Wall of Despair.

Standing on the wooden watchtower with the sound of huge footsteps, Li Nan first saw a huge head through the telescope, followed by its neck, shoulders, and its body and legs, which were made entirely of ice.

After the ice giant with a height of about fifteen meters appeared, all the soldiers who were responsible for resisting the undead legion unconsciously retreated, after all, no one wanted to have any contact with this terrifying guy.

Hearing the fearful voices of the people around him, the blind Aemon exclaimed, "Ice Giant! It turns out that the legends are all true......"

The impregnable Great Wall of Desperation was blown down by a horn, and now a powerful ice giant has appeared, it can be said that the situation has been extremely bad, and the stunned Li Nan heard the words of Scholar Aemon, and hurriedly asked: "What legend, do you know what is going on?" ”

"Alas! I know, but I don't want that to be true. ”

Scholar Aemon sighed deeply and explained, "According to the oldest books, thousands of years ago, Brandon the Builder did not rely on manpower to build this desperate wall, but used the magic of the Green Prophet and the Children of the Jungle. They summoned nineteen immortal Ice Giants as their foundation, and then forged the Great Wall of Ice on them, which became known as the Great Wall of Desperation. When the trumpet of winter sounds, all the ice giants will come back to life and obey the trumpet's owner. ”

"You mean there are nineteen of these monsters?"

Scholar Aemon didn't speak, but his expression and the exclamations that came from elsewhere already represented that this was the case.

The Ice Giant was not something that ordinary people could contend with, Li Nan hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, immediately send the remaining wildfire up and establish a flame defense line!" ”

Barrels of wildfire were carried to the ruins of the Great Wall, and despite the snow and ice on the ground, the green flames burned brightly, and soldiers threw nearby broken wood into the fire to prevent the flames from being extinguished.

Flame is indeed the nemesis of the Ice Giant, but it depends on the strength of the two sides, and using a candle to burn a huge block of ice is not very effective.

The Ice Giants took a big step forward fearlessly and stepped into the flame defense line, but they were basically unharmed except for the ice on their bodies being melted a little.

Seeing the Ice Giants cross the wildfire lines, many human hoplites hurled spears and arrows at them, but this kind of damage was like a tickle to the Ice Giants, except for leaving some white spots on their huge bodies, it can be said to be completely ineffective.

As the Ice Giant got closer and closer, the Onion Knight and Li Nan's followers all persuaded him, "My lord, let's retreat!" ”

Li Nan smiled bitterly: "I also want to evacuate, but where can we escape?" Behind us are the people of the North. ”

Tyrion, who had been keeping an eye on the state of the soldiers, said, "My lord, even if you don't run away now, when these ice giants start attacking, these soldiers will break up and flee." ”

Just when everyone was at a loss and the army was on the verge of fleeing, the red-robed priestess Melisandre, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "My lord, I have a way to deal with these ice giants!" ”

Li Nan grabbed Melisandre's shoulders and said eagerly, "Do you have a way?" Say it quickly! ”

Melisandre looked at Li Nan and said lightly: "The Lord of Light is an all-powerful god, and it is not a problem to destroy these ice giants, but he needs sacrifices. ”

"This ......"

At this time, Li Nan also thought of the King of Light's usual way of acting, if he wanted this evil god to do things, he would need to burn some people with strong bloodlines as a price.

"I don't have anyone with the blood of a king around me, do you plan to let me burn myself?"

"Nope." After the red-robed priestess glanced at the people around Li Nan, she said meaningfully: "In addition to you, there is also a person with an extremely strong royal bloodline here, as long as he is willing to sacrifice, he can save many people." ”

Li Nan followed Melisandre's gaze and looked at the centenarian Aemon, a scholar in a black robe and hung with a metal ring representing his knowledge.

Li Nan, who understood the meaning of the words of the red-robed priestess Melisandre, simply refused: "This thing can't be done! Tell the soldiers that we retreat to the last of the Hearth, and rely on the castle there to stop the Ice Giants and the Wraiths. ”

"Retreat to the last Hearth, the Mole Village and Houguan Town, where a lot of wildfire raw materials and obsidian are stored, will be lost, what will the soldiers do against the Wraiths?"

"I know, but I won't sacrifice a living person to your Lord of Light!"

The Ice Giant, which was closest to Castle Black, had already rushed to the front, and it didn't need to attack at all, but with a casual kick, it kicked seven or eight soldiers in heavy armor with huge shields in their hands.

"Listen to my orders, you guys quickly lead people to withdraw first!" After Li Nan finished shouting, he pulled out the Valyrian sword at his waist and rushed in front of the ice giant.

Whether it was an ordinary soldier or Li Nan, the king of the northern realm, there was no difference at all in the eyes of the ice giant, and it stepped on this little bug who dared to step forward and provoke him.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Li Nan deftly dodged this kick, and then a sword slashed at the ankle of the ice giant, and the Valyrian sword with the demon-breaking attribute played a role, and a deep scar appeared on the giant's body.

Although Li Nan desperately gave the Ice Giant the greatest damage so far, this injury was insignificant to these monsters.

Just as Li Nan was wrestling with the Ice Giant, Aemon's Scholar suddenly spoke to the red-robed priestess Melisandre, "Thorne and the other Night's Watch have kept their oath and died on the Great Wall of Despair. I am also a night watchman, I once swore to be a shield to protect the people, and now that I am the only one left in the night watch, I am willing to give everything to protect what is worth cherishing, including my life. ”

This was Aemon's own decision, and Li Nan, the only one who opposed it, was still fighting the ice giants, so in order to survive, the others acquiesced.

Most people are very selfish when it comes to life and death, especially when they don't have to sacrifice themselves.

A wildfire was smashed on the pyre, and in an instant a raging fire ignited, and Aemon's wrinkled face smiled and resolutely walked into the flames.

Melisandre, standing in front of the fire, her long red hair fluttering in the wind, chanting aloud incantations that others did not understand, was here to perform an unusually mysterious and cruel sacrifice ritual in public.

It seemed that the Lord of Light heard Melisandre's call, and the flames, which were originally composed of wildfire and pyre, suddenly spread out in all directions, enveloping a radius of ten meters, and the color of the flames changed from the original miserable green to a white-blue representing 1,500 degrees.

Nineteen white-blue flames detached from the pyre and floated in the air, as if they were spiritual, and then shot at the nineteen ice giants as if they were spiritual......

It was a battle between gods and monsters, and all the lords and soldiers present could only wait and see.

After the white-blue flame ball hit the giant, the nineteen ice giants who looked indestructible and fifteen meters tall had a painful expression on their cold and ruthless ice faces, and then exploded with a bang, turning into countless powdery ice chips......
