Chapter 1185

In Winterfell City, with the evacuation of the people, there are less than 6,000 of the permanent population of more than 20,000.

The women and children basically evacuated, and most of the men chose to abandon their hometown after all at this critical moment, only more than 800 people stayed.

Including the 5,000 guards in Winterfell, there were less than 6,000.

The lord's wife Catherine originally insisted on staying, but under the persuasion of Lord Ed and the bachelor, she took Bran, Rickon's two sons, and Sansa and Alia's two daughters and left for King's Landing.

Eddard's eldest son, Robb, and bastard Jon, who had just turned fifteen, stayed behind. Originally, Ed did not agree with the two of them staying, but the two challenged the two guards around Ed one after another, and won the victory, proving their strength.

Coupled with the support of the lord's wife, Ed, as the lord, had to agree.

On the fifth day of the evacuation of the people, shortly after night fell, the sentry on the tower rang the warning bell.

Gu Ding turned over and sat up. For the past few days, he has been living in the blacksmith shop and has not gone out.

The food was prepared by the blacksmith before he left, and he had prepared half a month's worth of food for him. And told him that if he really survived and there was not enough food, he would go to the lord.

After becoming a magician, Guding's need for food has been greatly reduced, because the function of food itself is to provide energy to the body, and Guding's body has been able to absorb elemental energy. Guding can last at least two months with the half-month's worth of food left by the blacksmith.

In the past five days, Guding has not been idle. He has developed several new types of magic, including defense and dodge, and has been practicing these days. Almost every day, his strength is improving.

This kind of improvement in strength also gave Guding a good feeling, at least it gave him a certain degree of confidence in his own safety.

The sentinel's warning bell made Guding appear on the street in a flash, and then blessed his feet with the wind magic and anti-gravity magic developed in the past few days, and jumped onto the roof.

This new magic can even allow him to slide in the air for a short time, but in the sliding state, it consumes a lot of mental energy.

After jumping on the roof, the field of vision was still not enough. Gu Ding made a few vertical leaps and climbed up to a tall tower not far away.

That was the Scholar's Tower, but there was nothing in it.

On the second night after the people in the city left, Gu Ding had just developed this new magic, and he sneaked in, and all the books and materials were gone. I don't know if it was destroyed or taken away. But Gu Ding clearly remembered that the dozen or so bachelors left empty-handed, and did not see soldiers carrying books and other items from the bachelor's tower.

According to Guding's speculation, those books and materials were either completely destroyed or taken away by people using space-like means. But Gu Ding prefers the latter, because if it is destroyed, it is impossible not to leave even a trace.

After climbing to the top of the tower, Gu Ding looked out of the city gate.

He finally saw what the so-called White Walkers looked like.

Those ghosts look somewhat similar to humans. It's just that they are tall, each of them is more than two meters tall. Their bodies were haggard, their skin seemed to be air-dried, and even the muscle texture in their bodies could be vaguely seen. The most special thing is their eyes, which are all deep ice blue, like burning blue flames.

There were more than ten different ghosts, and behind them were ghouls with pale skin and somewhat stiff movements.

The number of those ghouls is probably not 100,000, but 70,000 to 80,000.

Gu Ding only took one look, and he was sure that the city could not be defended.

Even without the White Walkers, the number of ghouls already exceeds the number of defenders. In addition, the ghoul itself is infinitely powerful, three to five times stronger than ordinary people, and it cannot be killed by ordinary methods, but can only be burned to death with fire.

In addition, there are more than a dozen alien ghosts who are completely ignorant, possessing intelligence no less than that of humans, and possessing unknown terrifying power.

There was absolutely no suspense in this battle.

Just when Guding frowned slightly, Jon beside the lord saw him on the top of the bachelor's tower.

Jon was standing on the right back side of the lord. When he looked forward to the right, he caught a glimpse of the scholar's tower from the corner of his eyes. When he found someone on it, he immediately turned his head and looked over.

When Gu Ding saw that he found himself, he didn't panic. He just waved his hand at him, and then made a silent movement.

Jon frowned slightly, but seeing that the other party was just a child, and remembering that his younger brother Bran also liked climbing ladders, he turned his head back without saying anything.

It's just that he was a little puzzled in his mind, "Whose child is this, haven't all the children under the age of sixteen been evacuated?"

This question only stayed in his mind for a moment and then was thrown aside, because his attention had already been put on the army of strange ghosts.

Seeing such a non-human army for the first time, and with a chilling atmosphere, his heartbeat accelerated sharply.

Lord Ed's attention was completely on the army of alien ghosts outside the city at the moment, his brows were full of worry, and he, who had many years of experience in battle, knew very well that this battle would definitely destroy the city, and there would be no second choice. possible.

"Catapult!"

Ed saw the army getting closer, he turned around, and immediately issued the first command. "Fire! Attack!"

The heavy stones of the catapults have long been replaced by packages of flammable materials doused with kerosene, which can be ignited with just a spark.

After receiving the order, the throwing objects of the twelve catapults were all ignited, and then thrown out of the city.

After the packs of flammable materials hit the ground, they splashed in all directions, and soon contaminated the ghouls.

Many ghouls turned into Pyromen, fell to the ground and turned into fly ash.

However, this did not stop the army of ghouls who are not afraid of death. These ghouls seem to have no idea what fear is, let alone what pain is. Many ghouls that were not completely burned completely ignored the burning parts of their bodies, let alone put out the flames, but ran towards the direction of the city gate without stopping at all.

"The so-called ghouls are indeed undead puppets, without self-awareness. Therefore, they can't feel pain, fear and other emotions that living people should have... But fortunately, these things have almost zero resistance to flames. It's not difficult to deal with." Guding stared intently at the situation on the battlefield and made various judgments.

"But those strange ghosts who lead the army, according to the records in the book, have wisdom no less than that of humans, which seems to be true now. They are also observing the lord and other people on the city wall..." Gu Ding's eyes fell on On the bodies of several strange ghosts.

Suddenly, a strange ghost seemed to notice Guding's gaze, and looked in his direction.

Guding was not much surprised to be discovered by the other party. Because he has seen too many strong people, before he stepped into reincarnation, let alone other ghosts, even in this continent, he can crush tens of thousands of them with one finger.

Gu Ding looked at him without any fear.

The Other Ghost's gaze quickly caught the attention of Ed and the others, followed his gaze, and also saw Guding on the top of the tower.

"Child? Whose child is this?!" Ed frowned slightly, and said to Jon, "Take him to a safe place and hide him. Whether he can survive depends on his luck."

[Sorry, there was a setting bug about the ghosts earlier. In Game of Thrones, the White Walkers are not afraid of fire, only dragonglass, obsidian and dragon's breath. I remember wrongly, ghouls can be burned to death with fire, but white ghosts can't be burned to death. 】(To be continued.)
