Chapter 626: Strange Demons Attack (5)

Daniel was a little trembling, he had escaped many battles, but none of them had this crisis, and the enemies he faced were strangers who knew no pain or tiredness, only murder, not greedy soldiers and cruel robbers and thieves.

The latter, no matter how cruel they are, can communicate with them with benefits, but in the former, human beings are just a life waiting to be harvested in their eyes.

The terrible screams resounded in the sky above the city walls, echoing in Daniel's ears, there was no collision of swords and iron weapons, only the popping sound of the sharp tip piercing the flesh and the tendons of the flesh when it was cut.

Countless death-defying ghouls rushed up to the wall, and then rushed towards those soldiers with their foul mouths open, and there was a middle-aged soldier next to Daniel who struggled to resist, he pushed away the ghoul on the right, cut off his head, and then directly pierced the ghouls who charged at him in the next moment, tearing down the city wall.

However, there were too many strange spirits to defend against in the chaotic battlefield, and in the next moment, the soldier was grabbed by the ankle by the half-cut ghoul on the ground, and then fell to the ground, and was quickly submerged.

The White Harbor garrison and the Mandalay privates, who patrolled the city, had put aside what they were doing to support the walls, but even so, the walls began to crumble soon after the first wave of the Wraith's onslaught.

These corpses don't know how to get tired, they don't stop pounding, they never stop, even if their bodies are cut in two by the sword, they still climb on the ground, or they are called stepping stones for their companions.

That's what makes the Wraiths so terrifying, that no wall can stop them. Except for the Great Wall of Heaven, which was built of magic. The prowess of the humans scattered throughout the city became a joke. Unless you raise all your strength to fight back in the first place, you will be broken one by one and dragged to death.

Looking at Daniel's panicked departure, Malone sighed, as the leader of the White Harbor garrison, he has been fighting on the front line all year round, he is not only experienced in a hundred battles, but also knows the strength of these people under him, although the quality of the garrison is not the strongest in Westeros, but it is definitely not bad.

The rear of White Harbor is not a safe place. Whether it's dealing with pirate raids roaming the seas or bandits outside the city, a garrison is indispensable, and even if it's not as good as the golden robes of King's Landing, it's definitely one of the best city defenses in Westeros.

A garrison of this size couldn't hold out for even an hour under the onslaught of the Strangers, and it is conceivable that the others would not be much better, and the Strangers who broke through the Great Wall have always been a mystery, and even the existence of these Strangers has been disputed, and there are even different thoughts such as suspecting that Jon has released false news that all the Night's Watch have defected to Stannis.

But now the Wraiths have bypassed all human checkpoints and are heading straight for White Harbor, the largest city connecting the north and the south. I don't understand what the use of the aliens wants a human city, but it's definitely a conspiracy. Organized action.

It's just that these scenes in front of him make Marlon have no hope for the human side.

Whether it is the hatred from the Iron Throne and the Grand Duke of the North, or the conflict of interests between many nobles on weekdays, it has become an irrelevant matter at this time, because the old enemies of mankind for thousands of years have once again broken through the Great Wall and come to the front of mankind.

Under the chewing of their rotten teeth, anything that stands in their way will be shattered, and humanity is facing the threat of extinction and death, but those nobles still don't pay attention to it, Marlon sighed, the end of humanity is being born, has anyone noticed......

Daniel climbed all the way to Willis's side, the fat-headed, big-eared Willis is different from Marlon, he doesn't need to climb the wall himself, as the eldest son and the only heir to Mandalay, he just needs to stand here honestly, which is an encouragement.

Verris tilted his head and glanced at Daniel, only to recognize that this embarrassed person was his usual calm subordinate, Veris wanted to laugh at him, but he had always been silent, and he probably didn't get any better at this time, so he couldn't find the right words for a while.

"Big ...... My lord. Daniel breathed a sigh of relief, his mind still clear, and said fluently, "Sir Marlon told you to get out of here quickly." ”

Willis was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Can't you hold it?" ”

Daniel didn't dare to answer, after all, there were a lot of people here, so he just nodded silently, "Sir Marlon said......

"I know." Willis interrupted him, "I've already arranged for someone to do it, the ships in the outer harbor are in a steady stream, sending people to their downstream destinations, and then returning quickly, it is estimated that quite a few have been sent out at this time." ”

"But I don't know how long it will last, as long as the harbor is not occupied by these decomposing corpses, the ships will not stop." Verris shook his fist, "And what we need to do is hold on until the last minute." ”

Mandalay has guarded White Harbor for a hundred years, and is the original vassal of the Grand Duke of the North, so his power is naturally not to be underestimated, and the heir Willis is not an idiot, although he does not treat civilians as people, but his own goods also need to be preserved.

The four walls of the city had been surrounded, and only the sea route of Hougang was the only way to live, and the first batch of petty nobles in White Harbor had been sent out of the city, and the ships were being dispatched by a small garrison, and the civilians were being transported out in an orderly manner.

Regardless of whether they are high or low, just look at the order and distance, the captains of the garrison also know that the situation is very critical at this time, and those merchant ships have also been detained, after all, there is still a problem whether White Harbor exists after this battle.

But Rao is so, after the battle broke out on the three walls, the news still inevitably flowed out, and soon the city was known, if the civilians of the southern cities may not understand the situation because of the news jam and ignorance, but the residents of White Harbor living in the north know the horror of the strange spirits.

Although there is no chaos in the vicinity of White Harbor where barbarian villages have been attacked by wandering ghouls for a while, the legends and horrors of those strange ghosts outside the Great Wall have also been circulated for nearly a thousand years, and opinions about these strange ghosts are very mixed. But what can be unified is. After the Stranger. There will be no more living creatures.

There was already a riot in the city of White Harbor, the crowd of people who desperately rushed to the city gate but were blocked on the road, the mercenaries who wanted to go up to the city wall to play their part, and many thieves and gangsters who took advantage of the fire to rob, fire rape and plunder have always been twin brothers accompanied by chaos, but at this time the garrison really can't draw manpower.

Daniel and Willis were on the city walls, behind a relatively safe fortress and battlements, watching the chaotic crowd of people below the city almost comparable to the ghouls outside the city. Daniel swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Lord Willis." He said, "Sir Marlon meant to let you go first, after all...... It's no longer here, there's no need for you to wait here to die. ”

Verris glanced at Daniel lightly, but Daniel could sense that Veris was dying, and he could even see that Veris's fat body was shaking, "I'm not going to leave here." But he said.

"My father is not in the city, and the Mandalay family heritage will not be broken, so I have no reason to leave, and that's what I should do. I will guard White Harbor until the last moment and live with it. Symbiosis, or co-death. ”

Daniel saw contempt in Willis's eyes, the kind of pride and glory that seemed to be superior to others, and that Daniel had often seen as he was when Willis dropped a few gold coins at the feet of the commoners, and brought their daughters or wives back to the house to be maids.

Willis took everything he did for granted, because of the aristocracy, and the commoners were just his personal property and playthings, and likewise, he regarded it as an honor to hold on to White Harbor to the end, because he was a nobleman, even if he was very timid.

So at this moment, Daniel was silent, he didn't know how to persuade Willis, or even how to look at him.

The road below was almost blocked, and with an endless army of ghouls just outside the city, Daniel felt that he had missed the best chance to escape, and even if he could make a way out of the city now, he might not be able to squeeze into the boat.

As for why Veris ignored his new henchman, and even dragged himself to die with him without even bothering to ask what he thought, Daniel felt that this was normal, after all, in Veris's eyes, all civilians were his things, and he was also a civilian, whether life or death was completely a matter of Veris's words, and he still had to consider the thoughts of civilians?

But again, when the responsibility of the nobility fell to Willis, he did not flinch.

Thinking of this, Daniel asked the private soldiers next to him for a long sword, there was no hope of escape, and it was also impossible to hold White Harbor, so ...... Just give it a go, at least you don't die in repeated escapes, not so wretched.

Daniel clenched his sword tightly, his palms soon soaked with sweat, and the screams and wails in the distance were approaching, which meant that the line was being compressed, and a soldier named Willis stepped forward to fill the void, while the number around him was getting smaller and smaller.

The Wraiths gradually began to climb the wall and gain a foothold, and Daniel had gone from seeing only a few Wraiths rushing into the line and fighting the soldiers, to now only a handful of soldiers trying to push the Wraiths all over the walls.

"All reserves! Give it all to me! Above! Daniel heard Sir Marlon roaring wildly not far away.

He knows...... White Harbor is about to break......

"We've found a large army of strangers, and then?" Mera lay on her stomach in the haystack, trying to keep her body as low as she could, so that the tattered black cloth jacket blended with the gray-white snow and grass so that she could not be detected by the strange spirits in the distance.

The spearwoman did the same, as well as Bran, but their caution was of little practical use, because the half-giant Addo was also lying next to them, and from a distance it looked like a small mountain bulge, and if it was noticed, it would definitely be found to be abnormal, and they were not exposed at this time, but they were not noticed.

"Don't tell me you're going to stop them?" Mela said coldly with a stern expression, "Although I also want to save this city and don't want the Wraith's army to continue to grow, I won't send it to death. ”

"We can't stop so many ghouls, and there's ...... in this There must be real ghosts. ”

"I think so, little ghosts......" the spearwoman murmured beside her.

"There are three." Bran replied calmly, "I've seen them." ”

"Have you seen the place with the most ghouls?" Bran pointed to the core area where the ghouls gathered in front of him, "They're hiding inside, and there are about thousands of strong ghouls with good mobility around them. ”

"What if you see it." Mera retorted, "There are so many ghouls, it's almost as good as an army, or an army that doesn't know that tiredness doesn't die, and you can't kill them." ”

"I can." Bran continued to speak calmly.

Mera was stunned and relieved, during the days of the Green Prophet, she had been in contact with Bran for a long time, but it didn't mean that she fully understood Bran, because every time the Green Prophet passed on magic to him, either other people were not there, or it was directly transmitted by the method of thinking communication, so until now, Mera didn't know anything except that Bran could use the Green Vision.

"How do you want to do it?" Thinking of this, Mera's voice softened, her brother was dead, and now the only one who was with her was Bran, did he see him as a substitute for his brother, Mera was not sure, after all, this was not her own brother.

"Rush in and kill them." Bran's answer was very simple and clear, but more like suicide.

Sure enough, Mera had already narrowed her eyes, "You're looking for death?" She said coldly.

"I'm not going to do that, and I'm going to stop you......" the spearwoman muttered beside her.

Bran shook his head, "I need trees. "Or something, it has to be a weapon anyway." ”

"There are no trees here." Mera frowned, the west of White Harbor is hills and valleys, and the east is plains, there are mountains and grasses here, the only thing that is not there is a patch of woods, "Isn't it okay to dagger?" She asked.

Bran continued to shake his head, "I know. He said, "I've been looking for it a long time ago, huh?" …… Got it. He looked pleased, and Mera and the others didn't know why.

Slowly twisting his body, Bran slowly untied the strip of cloth wrapped around his arm, during which Mera frowned, because the whole cloth had been stained red with blood, on the way here, Bran had been using a knife to cut the skin, so that the blood seeped out of it, if it wasn't for Bran saying that it was a magic need, Mera and the others would have stopped him from doing this self-harm.

"I call to you, and return with your prey." Bran drooped his arm, letting the blood fall to the ground drop by drop, and called softly.

"Will it work?" Mera was skeptical.

But at this time, it seemed that blood or the commotion here attracted the attention of the strangers, and soon a small group of rickety corpses walked towards the place, not fast, but there was no place to hide on the plains.

It's been discovered! Mera subconsciously wanted to run away with Bran, but was dragged by him, and seeing the strange ghost getting closer and closer, Mera said urgently, "This thing had better be useful." ”

Bran looked calm and nodded firmly at Mera, but none of them noticed that Melisandre, the red-clothed witch who had been sleeping all the way, had woken up and was lying next to her, squinting her eyes and secretly looking at them. (To be continued......)
