High Magic Earth

Chapter 624: The Strike (3)

Daniel was dumbfounded again. He had heard this sentence before, and it was also from Willis, but this time he could not understand it.

"I... I don't understand." Daniel stammered.

Willis glanced at Daniel with some disdain. He thought he was smart because he would make money, but he didn't expect to be a fool who couldn't even understand the words. "I'm going to protect my property." Willis said. "I am those The owner of cheap bones, so I also have an obligation to protect them."

Daniel opened his mouth, but that’s not what he meant, or that he wanted to hear Willis say it’s not like this. Daniel felt that Willis’ impression in his heart was refreshed again. True, nobles and civilians are almost the relationship between master and slave, But most nobles only remember being responsible for bullying, and forget others.

especially. . People like Willis doing this.

"But... the ghost is very powerful." Daniel said as much as possible in his language. He didn't want to stimulate Willis or watch him die, but he didn't want him to escape like other nobles, so Daniel's heart was Extremely tangled, "We can't hold the city, you might..."

He didn’t finish it, but Willis already understood what it meant. In fact, as a native of the northern nobles, Willis knew better than Daniel the horrors of alien ghosts. Every noble family has a long history of culture and books. There are scholars who are specifically responsible for this, and they try to record history as authentically as possible, even if it will not spread to the outside world, it will also prepare the nobles' descendants.

So Willis knows that no matter how many scales of ghosts, as long as there is fighting and contact with human beings, then the number will immediately increase, and the defense according to the city is absolutely untenable, and the meaning of victory lies in it. . How many people can survive, because the dead will become alien power.

Daniel could feel Willis also afraid, his fat fluttered slightly, and even his body was shaking. But he was still wearing armor firmly and trying to arm himself to his teeth.

"I... I know." He said, "Those untouchables are my belongings, and I... of course have to protect my private property." Willis squeezed a reluctant smile.

Daniel opened his mouth. But Willis had already strode out.

Baigang is the most prosperous trading city state in the north. Its armed forces cannot be underestimated. It is not a small town, but one of the five largest cities in Westeros, plus the Mandalay family has been in town for a hundred years. The private soldiers raised are also a huge force.

By this time, the White Port Guards had gathered under the leadership of Marlon Mandalay, the cousin of Sir Wiman, and was stuck on the city walls and various main roads. He was defending according to the arrow tower and the fortress, and now Wiris was in front of him. The Mandalay family's final strength, private soldiers.

"Adult." A knight armed to his teeth stepped forward and then bowed down to salute. He wore a sturdy plate armor that almost wrapped him into a steel can and was covered with a soft lock helmet. A white mermaid with a blue and green background is printed on his chest, which is a symbol of the Mandalay family.

This is the leader of the private soldiers, Sir Weiman's confidante, a powerful knight in battle.

The knights in the north are the same as the Westeros in the south. Almost all the knights in Westeros are roughly the same, but there are some differences in armor and mounts. The focus of the power of the knights in the south and the north is different. The knights in the north are better at Using a half-man long knight sword, with the strong war horse in the north, it can almost support a heavy arm.

There is no horse riding in the city, but it does not mean that the knights are not powerful. Every knight has a knighthood, perhaps just an honorary title, but also distinguished from ordinary soldiers, they have complete armor. Sharp weapons, except for a few wandering knights, most knight equipment can buy a poor village.

The number of knights is sparse, and the opposite is their powerful strength. The knights are not inherited, only after proving themselves with powerful force after a hundred battles. Can be called a knight.

In the face of those ordinary soldiers, the swordsmanship of the knights is not only superb, but expensive armor and sharp weapons are not within the reach of ordinary soldiers. In all small-scale battles, it is normal for any knight to knock down four or five soldiers. thing.

There are not many knights in Baigang, but a patchwork can also form a 100-person team. Compared with the kind of Eagle Nest City that pulls everyone out and can’t get enough knights, Baigang is definitely powerful, but this is In front of Qianhewanji's army of strange ghosts, there was little pity.

"Liya also... Willa them?" Willis asked the knight chief in a low voice.

"Mrs. and ladies have left first." The cavalier leader quickly gave the answer.

Riya is the wife of Willis. Although she rarely hangs out, it does not mean that Willis does not pay attention. Vera is his two younger sisters. In front of the army of ghosts, he was not sure to protect their safety, so he went to find Earl Wiman is better.

From the series of actions of Willis, it can be seen that he has no confidence in guarding Baigang, or he does not intend to defend according to Baigang. Junling’s reinforcements must not be expected. They all know that Junlin seems to have happened. Such a big event, even the news was blocked.

Not to mention the other nobles. It stands to reason that their best reinforcement should be the Stark family in Winter City, but at present they may be unable to protect themselves. Perhaps Stannis, who is helping them, is also a good choice. . He was also trapped in Lindong City.

Every noble has more or less a sense of politics, even if Daniel is not a noble, he can understand it, so even if Willis is fat and full of ears, he only knows that he is blessed with power in Baigang, he should know this, so Daniel At this time, we can't even understand Willis's approach.

There were about three or four hundred people gathered in front of Willis. This was not all the power of the Mandalay family. It was just gathered in a hurry. More private soldiers and the White Port Guards were rushing to the front line of the city wall. Or to suppress the riots and pacify and appease those civilians, it is already a great force to gather such a force at this time.

Willis stood on the stage, and a large circle of bright silver armor confined his fat, which seemed a bit ridiculous, but no one below laughed, and the white mermaid was against the blue and green background of Willis armor. It's lifelike.

Some soldiers knew what was happening outside, some didn’t, but at this time the riots that suddenly rushed out of the city and the civilians near the wall showed one thing, that is, the war, the unknown enemy.

Willis looked at them. Suddenly pulled out his long sword, "Mandalay will never flinch," he shouted, keeping his short, silent style, and said calmly. "set off."

There is no loyalty problem for the private soldiers of the Mandalay family, especially Willis is a direct heir to Earl Wiman, and even their chiefs have no objections, even if they are allowed to kill Earl Wiman, they can do anything. .

Malone holds the Baigang Defense Team. And Willis can mobilize private soldiers. Of course, these two Baigang forces belong to Earl Wiman, but he is not in the city at this time.

The direction of this team is the city gate. No one speaks along the way. Most private soldiers usually stay near the core castle of the Mandalay family, so that they can be used at any time, because this is Mandalay’s last power. The Newcastle of the Dele family is the center of Baigang, in the noble residence. At this time there was a calm.

It's not that the nobles didn't know the news, but they knew the news in advance and stayed with confidence. Willis, who had no confidence, had arranged for the vessel to let them leave in advance.

If the enemies they face are other nobles, then Willis’s approach is absolutely wrong. Everyone should stay to fight a deadly battle, because the solid white port city wall is their most powerful weapon, but their enemy is an alien. One is not for land, not for money and honor. Just for the sake of life and killing monsters, Willis's approach is absolutely correct, because the Great Wall of the North Realm, which claims to never fall, is the best proof.

Except for the aristocratic area, it is a civilian area. It's also quiet here, but they really didn't get the news. They sat at home and didn't know that a group of their future kind had come outside Baigang.

They are advancing very fast. In addition to constantly telling Willis about the news from outside the city and the distance between the ghosts and Baigang, the defense team has also cleaned Baigang Street for them. The spacious Baigang Street has no capacity for 500 people at all. Problem, they came all the way to the northern wall of Baigang.

Here is to find the direction of the strange ghost. It is also the first place where the ghosts will attack next.

At this time, this place is much more chaotic than the two places before Willis passed. The civilians living in the northern border have the greatest feature besides cold resistance and frost resistance. They are better than understanding strange ghosts, even if they are not ancestors, but these The Andals also have a deep understanding of the horrors of aliens in their ancestors' generations. They have no confidence in defending Baigang.

Maron seemed to know this too. He didn’t plan to let everyone burial for the garrison. He let go of the gate on both sides of the east and west. He didn’t stop anyone who was willing to leave while the ghost hadn’t arrived yet. Of course, if there are strange ghosts on the plains or they are caught up, you can only admit that you are out of luck.

The ghost will soon arrive under the city. At that time, he will close the gate and stay in the city, and the port south of Baigang can leave the only passage.

How long Baigang can stay, even those civilians who have listened to the strange ghosts for countless years do not know, but they know how many ships in Baigang, they can never transport these hundreds of thousands of people, and even if they can, civilians It must be the last. During this period, once the city is broken, everyone will die, so many civilians who have heard about the news of the attack of the ghosts are swarming to get out of the city.

Fortunately, Ma Long didn't stop it, but it also caused trouble for Willis and blocked their progress.

Willis ordered the soldiers to open the way in front, and then led the people behind him straight to the city wall. The first shock of the strange ghost was the most terrible. The Baigang garrison alone was absolutely unable to hold it. He must bring reinforcements. To ensure that Baigang is not destroyed in the first place.

"That's..." Willis, who was marching among soldiers, suddenly saw his eyes and saw a family of three in the escape crowd. To be precise, it was the girl. He glanced at Daniel next to him with dissatisfaction and said, "You are still leaking One."

In fact, Daniel next to him was a little stunned, because he didn’t even know why he was coming, to face the ghost, to find death, but his savvy head still reacted quickly, and his eyes fell on the girl. On his body, he recognized that this was one of several goals that Willis had designated to grab.

This matter was long left behind by Daniel, so the girl was not taken away, and Willis winked at the knight leader next to him, and the knight immediately understood.

Obviously, this is not the first time for them. Several private soldiers left the team, and then came to the family in a familiar way, first pushed them away from the crowd, and then started to knock out the hostess, and then ignored the hostess’s efforts. Struggling and begging, the young girl who had already ripped most of her clothes was forcibly taken away.

The two soldiers walked back with the girl and gradually disappeared into the ranks. Willis nodded in satisfaction, then continued to support Maron.

Daniel’s face was complex, and he suddenly understood that Willis was a typical arrogant nobleman. Because of his aristocratic identity, he turned all civilians into inferior creatures or playthings, so he took the looting of civilian women for granted. The protection of civilians is also taken for granted.

The simple reason is that everything you belong to me is my private property, so I should protect you, as Willis has always said, very simple, there is no other reason, but Daniel has not understood it.

It’s hard to say that Willis is a good person, because he doesn’t treat civilians as adults, but treats them as objects. What protects himself is justified. It only shows that this person dares to resist, and that he regards people as objects. Willis has bad behavior because people are not objects after all.

Willis's bad behavior~lightnovelpub.net~ Then it can also be conversely said that people are not objects after all, so we can't regard these protections by Willis as an object to protect themselves. In this way, this is not an alternative good person Anyway, so Daniel is very tangled at this time.

But no matter how tangled he is, he has followed Willis to the wall of the north gate of Baigang. He was unable to flinch from being surrounded by soldiers, so he is facing the first fight with the alien in his life.

The north gate of Baigang is the direction to look at the winter city, but at this time the endless plains and mountains are not green grass, but white and black full of death, and countless black bodies are in the distance. Creeping, they were strangely shaped or climbing or limping, but they all firmly and quickly moved towards Baigang.

The Baigang, which was blocked in front of the heads of countless ghouls, seemed like a grass under a big tree, freed from the blockade of the towering big tree in the Great Wall of the North, and it was no longer able to resist.

But on the side of the direction of the strange ghost towards Baigang, there were also a group of people who came here day and night. They were two men and two women, and one of them seemed to be a half-giant man. If someone familiar with Stannis is here, she will recognize that she is the red witch, Melisandre. To be continued.
