Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 385
c383 small confrontation
When Lind left the walrus tribe base, Moroya had already used the sacrificial altar to perform dozens of sacrifices. Including the silent monk at the beginning, there were a total of eight silent monks and ten nuns of redemption. Obtain the Rune Mark of the Unknown King.
Through these dozens of sacrifices, Moroya also discovered some rules of sacrifice. Only by sacrificing a powerful enough magical creature can the sacrifice be 100% successful. Only those who accept the sacrifice can obtain the rune mark of the Unknown King. Secondly, for magic items that are powerful enough, the success rate of sacrifice will be reduced. In addition, the sacrifice of any other creature or item will fail.
All those who have obtained the rune mark can cast the three dragon rune powers, and the power and duration of their use of the dragon rune power will be determined by Linde. If Linde is willing and their bodies can bear it, they will gain these The Marked One can even unleash the full power of the Dragon Rune.
However, Linde was the biggest beneficiary of these dozens of sacrifices. Those failed sacrifices did not actually fail. Each sacrifice could strengthen his nameless king runes, and after those silent monks and nuns of redemption obtained the nameless king At the same time as the rune marks, Linde can also use these separated rune marks of the unknown king to enhance the recovery and durability of his own power.
In other words, if he uses the power that destroyed Staia again, he will not only be able to use it several times, but the duration of the use will also be increased, and the time to recover the power will also be short.
In other words, the more people who obtain the Rune Mark of the Nameless King through the Sacrifice Altar, the stronger the power of his Nameless King Rune. If the number of people who obtain the mark exceeds 10,000, maybe the power he possesses can really be as strong as in his memory. As powerful as those gods.
So when leaving the base, Linde asked Ragzi to take the altar back to the Summer Hall and hand it over to the Redemption Temple, so that the Redemption Temple could host the sacrifice.
The reason why it was handed over to the Redemption Temple is because ordinary people simply cannot withstand the power contained in the runes of the Nameless King. When it is injected through the sacrificial altar, it will cause the body to exceed its limit and disintegrate into a pool of flesh and blood.
Only the Redemption Sisters and Silent Monks who have passed the complete trial of the Redemption Temple have the physique to withstand such a powerful force.
Linde did not leave the base alone, but rode a dog sled with a team of redemption nuns and silent monks who changed defenses. They carried supplementary supplies and rushed towards the temporary garrison. The eighteen people who had received the mark were also among them.
Although it would be faster for Linde to fly there alone, when he thought about the possibility of encountering a large number of White Walkers, any trace of rune power in his body was precious and could not be wasted easily.
The garrison points of the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Monks are in the upper reaches of the frozen river. They will go to the north in batches to intercept the White Walkers in groups of one hundred people and five groups as a unit.
When Linde and the others arrived at the garrison point, only one unit of Silent Monks and Redemption Sisters remained at the garrison point, and the rest had already set out to attack.
“How is the situation ahead?” Linde immediately asked the captain of the Redemption Sisters who stayed behind when he got off the sled.
“Reporting to my lord, Captain Serellia and Captain Lille are leading the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Brothers to set up defenses in the Thann area to prevent the army of corpses led by the White Walkers from advancing eastward.” The Captain of the Sisters of Redemption who was asked immediately came up. He answered beforehand and said: “I just received the battle report and have already annihilated an army of 20,000 corpses.”
“Are there enough supplies over there?” Linde asked.
The Captain of the Redemption Sisters quickly replied: “It’s very sufficient. We just delivered a batch of supplies in the morning.”
Linde nodded, and then ordered: “Immediately unload all the supplies that were just delivered, set up wildfire traps over there, over there, set up two sets of catapults, and everyone is in preparation for war. ”
Everyone was stunned after hearing the order. Although they didn’t understand what Linde was going to do, they didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, they set up defenses according to Linde’s instructions. Soon the defenses were all set up.
Later, Linde ordered the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Monks to station themselves at different locations, and at the same time told them clearly where the enemy would come from.
After setting up the defense, Linde took out a keel bow and several bundles of special rune arrows from the sled, and walked to an observation deck at the garrison point.
Linde was certain that Serellia and Lille should have fallen into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. The White Walkers should have used the army of ghouls to advance eastward, taking the opportunity to create the illusion of advancing eastward. In fact, they collaborated with other groups of ghouls to move towards the east. Rushing towards the frozen coast, they probably wanted to attack this garrison and the Walrus tribe base at the mouth of the frozen river.
Lind’s judgment was not random, but he truly felt that a large number of White Walkers were moving towards this direction.
This is another ability that Lind gained after the White Walkers were sacrificed to Lind. He could sense the location of the White Walkers. This may be related to the deathly power integrated into the power of the Frozen Dragon Rune.
Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually became darker. Although the Silent Monks and Redemption Sisters who were sent out to guard were all frozen and stiff, they did not question Linde’s order. They all stared at what Linde pointed out seriously. Come to the enemy’s position.
Standing on the observation deck, Linde saw a strong wind blowing on the snowfield in the distance, which lifted the snowflakes on the ground into the air, and then scattered and floated down, forming a dense snow fog, blocking all the scenes in the snow fog. .
A snowy mist as thick as a barrier suddenly appeared on the snowfield ahead. No matter how slow they were, the Silent Monk and the Sister of Redemption could still see something strange. They all raised their spirits and took out a bottle from their pockets. After taking the specially prepared medicine, their bodies not only regained their flexibility, but also developed strong resistance to cold.
The thick snow and fog could block the sight of the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Monk, but it could not block Lind’s sight, especially when Lind activated his special vision and saw the White Walkers hiding among a large number of corpses. Taking advantage of the cover of snow and fog, they were slowly advancing towards the garrison. And those White Walkers who were hiding and ready to attack at any time became a living target in Lind’s eyes.
Linde quickly pulled out a rune arrow from his side, put it on the bowstring, raised the keel bow, and shot without even making any aiming movements.
The offline rune arrows flew into the snow and fog at super fast speeds, passed through the cover of the ghouls, and directly hit the White Walkers hiding among the ghouls.
The moment the rune arrow pierced the body of the White Walker, a layer of extreme cold air was immediately generated, which instantly froze the White Walker and made him unable to move. At the same time, streams of thunder and lightning were continuously emitted from the rune arrows to stop the White Walker. Gather your strength to break the freeze.
You must know that Lind has inherited all the memories of Dragon Hunter Onstein, and Dragon Hunter Onstein is also the leader of the Silver Knights. The Silver Knight’s bow and arrow shooting skills all come from Dragon Hunter Onstein, and the archery skills mastered by Linde Only above the Silver Knight, it comes in handy right now.
As arrow after arrow was shot by Lind into the snow and mist, each arrow would inevitably take away a White Walker. After hundreds of rune arrows were shot out, this one was responsible for All the White Walkers in the sneak attack army of zombies were imprisoned by rune arrows without exception.
Without the command of the White Walkers, the corpses could only move forward instinctively, and the snow mist that concealed them gradually drifted away because it had no magic power.
“Attack!” Lind ordered from the watchtower. Although his voice was not very loud, all the Silent Monks and Redemption Sisters seemed to have heard the order with their own ears, and immediately directed the men at their defensive positions to use throwing weapons. The weapon throws green fire bombs.
Soon the green fire bombs exploded among the ghouls. Not to mention what happened to the ghouls in the middle of the explosion, the surrounding ghouls touched by the sparks of the green fire bombs also turned into human-shaped flames and burned violently. , and soon a wall of flames blocked the path of the corpse.
Facing the flame wall, the corpse did not flinch at all and continued to walk into the flame wall. Before it could pass through the flame wall, it was burned away. From a distance, it looked like self-destructive firewood. Same.
Seeing this army of corpses being wiped out so easily, everyone felt inexplicable joy, and they couldn’t help but despise the corpses and ghosts.
However, Linde on the watchtower had no intention of relaxing at all. The rune arrow was always on the bow string, ready to go at any time, and his eyes were staring at the gradually dissipating snow mist.
Although the White Walkers hiding among the corpses have been discovered by Lind and banned, Lind can still feel that there are White Walkers in that area, and there are a lot of them, but he cannot detect them through his special vision. The exact location of the White Walkers.
“Be on guard! Put up your shield!” Seeing that the snow fog was about to completely dissipate, Lind ordered again.
After hearing Lind’s order, no matter how much the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Monks looked down on the White Walkers and corpses before, at this moment they all instinctively acted on guard, blocking the large shields behind them in front of them, and Form a guard formation.
“Elves and strange ghosts!” At this time, the snow mist completely dispersed, and everyone saw the deepest danger hidden in the snow mist.
I saw a dozen elves and other ghosts sitting on their mounts in that area, standing side by side, watching Lind on the watchtower.
Just when everyone thought that these dozen elves and other ghosts would launch an attack, they pulled the reins, turned their horses’ heads on the spot, and walked deeper into the Land of Eternal Winter without looking back.
Seeing the behavior of these elves and ghosts, not only the Redemption Sisters and Silent Monks who were fully prepared were confused, but even Linde looked puzzled.
Although he did not understand what the Elf White Walkers were doing, Lind did not immediately pursue the victory. Instead, he stayed to clean up the battlefield, retracted the rune arrows, and at the same time cut off the arms and legs of the human White Walkers, and then imprisoned them with ropes. Get up and transport it back to the base for Moroya to study and sacrifice.
With this group of ghosts making sacrifices, the number of people who can obtain the rune mark will exceed one hundred. In that case, the power of the Unknown King’s rune in his body will increase to a large stage.
Lind had no intention of letting go of the elves and ghosts. After cleaning the battlefield, Lind asked his men to stay and continue to guard the garrison point and pay attention to the movements of the ghosts in the north. While he himself followed the traces left by the elves and ghosts, he headed towards March towards the north.
On the other side, the dog sled transporting the banned White Walkers traveled south along the frozen river and returned to the Walrus tribe base in about half a day.
Seeing the hundreds of frozen White Walker captives brought down from the dog sled, Moroya and others were all shocked. You must know that the Redemption Sisters and the Silent Monks jointly fought to eliminate a hundred thousand corpses. , only a few dozen White Walkers were captured. Now Linde has just left and captured so many White Walkers in just one day.
Moroya asked what happened to the Sisters of Redemption who transported the White Walkers. The Sisters of Redemption deceived the White Walkers into taking away the main members of the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Monks, and then led the ghoul army to attack the garrison point, preparing to go south and eliminate the Walrus tribe base. , but was noticed by Linde and deployed in advance to annihilate him.
In addition, she also specifically mentioned the reaction of the elves and ghosts after the army of zombies and human ghosts were eliminated.
After hearing this, Moroya thought for a moment and changed his mind about continuing to study the White Walkers. Instead, he sacrificed all the White Walkers and quickly increased the number of marked ones.
Although Moroya didn’t understand why Linde wanted to create so many marked people, she was sure that it would be good for Linde, so in order to prevent Linde from encountering unknown dangers in the north, she added a large number of marked people in a short period of time. , indirectly supporting Linde.
When Moroya used the sacrificial altar to sacrifice a large number of White Walkers, Lind also felt the changes in the rune mark of the Unknown King for the first time. However, he did not have much thought at the moment to check the changes. He was all focused on On the body of the following elves and ghosts.
Because flying in the sky was too conspicuous, and in order to avoid being discovered by the elves and ghosts, Lind landed on the ground very far away, and then made two pairs of ice skis on his feet, creating a strong wind and pushing him Sliding on the snow, he also used the wind to disperse the smell on his body to minimize the possibility of being discovered by the White Walkers.
The walking speed of the elves and ghosts is very fast. Although the body of the corpse horse mount is so broken that it looks like it will fall apart at any time, it can still run like a normal horse, and its endurance is far beyond that of a normal horse, and it can maintain high speed for a long time. run.
After walking for about half a day, according to the normal distance, we have passed through the Thern area and entered the eternal winter land in the far north that no human can reach in the past. This place is almost unsuitable for human habitation. Even Linde can now Feeling the cold, and every breath taking a small toll on his body.
Although these injuries were not very serious, and they recovered quickly due to the body’s self-healing ability, you must know that this is Linde’s demigod body. If it were an ordinary person, his lungs would have been frostbitten and he would have died. .
This situation is obviously not right, because such a low-temperature zone is only half a day’s journey from the previous garrison. Even if the ghost horses of the White Walkers run at full speed, the distance they run will never exceed a thousand kilometers.
This distance may be very far for people, but for climate, especially when the terrain is an endless snowfield, this distance is not enough to form such a big gap. The only explanation is that it is caused by magic. climatic anomalies.
However, Lind’s attention soon shifted from the abnormal climate to the White Walkers, because the destination of these elves and White Walkers had arrived.
