"Stick?" Jerome said angrily, "Are you planning to watch the warriors of the kingdom die like this?"
"Of course I don't want to, but it's too dark now, and we don't even know who the enemy is. If we attack rashly like this, have you considered the consequences of defeat, General Giant?" Prince Ollie said solemnly.
Jerome also knew that what Olli said made sense. He was a famous general in the dwarf kingdom and had always been known for his sophisticated military skills and calmness.
However, he found that his emotions were a little out of control tonight, mainly because he had never encountered such a bizarre situation in all his years of leading troops.
The sudden appearance of bolides, white beams of light, and monsters with glowing eyes had completely panicked him, and it wasn't until Ollie reminded him that he gradually calmed down again.
Just at this time, the men Aragorn had sent back also came back, bringing eight savages with them. They were the leaders of the eight largest savage tribes in the Dragon Crest Mountains.
Because Jerome was always wary of the savages, he did not let them share the same camp with them.
As a result, the savages had nothing to lose at this time, Jerome asked the tribal leaders.
"Do you know what the monster is that attacked us this time?"
Split Rock, the leader of the Giant Palm Tribe, replied, "Those are the White Walkers, their eyes glow."
"White Walkers?" Jerome was very unfamiliar with this name, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Why have I never heard of it, and you didn't remind me that there are White Walkers in the mountains."
"That's because the legend of the White Walkers has been around for a long time. The last time they appeared was thousands of years ago." Qingsui, the leader of the Wildfire Tribe, said, "We didn't expect to see these monsters again."
"Are you sure those things are really White Walkers?" Aragorn on the side couldn't help but interjected, "I have fought against them, and except for a pair of glowing eyes, they look no different from ordinary humans."
"That's because they were originally humans, or were humans during their lifetime."
The person who spoke this time was the leader of the Broken Star Tribe, Da Step, and he continued according to Li Yu's instructions beforehand.
"Most of the White Walkers are transformed by humans. There is often a ghost king among a group of White Walkers. It is that ghost king who turns other people into something similar to him through curses.
"By the way, places where ghosts appear are often accompanied by strange light pillars and bolides."
Jerome felt that something was not right, but seeing that each of these savages was swearing by them, he finally accepted this statement.
Then he asked, "Then do you know how to deal with those... um, White Walkers?"
"The White Walkers cannot be killed." Split Rock said solemnly, "Because they are dead to begin with. Even if we knock them down now, they will get up from the ground again soon.
"To kill them completely, you can only use a wooden spear made from cedar trees and pierce their hearts."
"This is too difficult." Aragorn said immediately after hearing this, "Many of them are still wearing armor."
Jerome also thought this was a terrible idea, but those White Walkers were coming with great force, and if they couldn't be killed as the wildlings said, it would be a big trouble.
In addition, there were cedar trees around them, so Jerome sent a few teams to cut down the trees and planned to make some temporary wooden spears.
In addition, Jerome also asked the savage leaders to take the warriors from their tribes to assist the more than 10,000 troops in front of them who were in a bitter battle.
When the wildling leaders heard that they were going to fight the legendary White Walkers, they were obviously not very willing. Some said that it was too dark and their soldiers could not see anything at night, while others said that Jerome needed to give them more time to rectify the army.
.
Jerome has been dealing with these savages for most of his life, and he knows them very well. Looking at their looks, he can tell that it's not that they don't want to go, it's just that they don't see enough benefits.
Jerome almost laughed in anger at these guys. How long have they been so concerned about such a small profit? If we don't deal with the White Walkers well, once the dwarf army is defeated, will the wild people be able to escape?
But now he was too lazy to scold these short-sighted savages and said directly, "What do you want?"
"Food." Qingsui said immediately, "We need enough food for our tribe to survive this winter."
"Okay." Jerome agreed happily, "As long as you take people to stop those White Walkers now, I will give you as much food as you want after this battle is over."
After receiving the promise from the dwarf general, the leaders of the savage tribes were satisfied and went back to recruit people. Before leaving, they also borrowed forty wooden spears.
Jerome was not idle after that, and asked Aragorn to continue to lead people to collect the remaining soldiers and retreat here.
He now has the mentality of bringing back as many people as he can.
And as the savages took over, the pressure on the dwarves finally eased, and Aragorn and others got more time to collect survivors on the battlefield and organize a retreat.
However, the good times did not last long. Before Jerome could breathe a sigh of relief, he noticed that the screams nearby seemed to be getting smaller.
Jerome thought this was a good thing at first, meaning that the dwarves were gradually taking back the initiative, but he saw that the sixteen beams of light were still moving towards this side.
The dwarf general realized that the attack of the White Walkers had not slowed down, but had even become more fierce.
Jerome couldn't help but yelled again, "What are those savages doing?! Why haven't they stopped the White Walkers?"
As his words fell, those strange light pillars suddenly disappeared.
But after a while, it appeared again, and it was only two or three hundred steps away from them.
Jerome was really anxious now, and he also discovered that Aragorn and his people had not returned for a long time. An ominous premonition arose in Jerome's heart again.
The only thing that made him feel gratified was that in such a short period of time, the man he had sent to cut down the fir trees had made a hundred wooden spears.
The dwarves are indeed born craftsmen. Although most wooden spears are very rough and can only be slightly sharpened, the efficiency is amazing.
Jerome had just distributed the hundred wooden spears to the dwarf warriors at the front when he saw those useless savages running back in a mess.
Jerome sent people to stop them, but those savages were so crazy that they took out their weapons and chopped down those who blocked them to the ground.
Not to mention that they still gained something after going around for a while. They picked up a lot of weapons, most of which belonged to dwarf warriors.
As he ran, he shouted, "It's over, it's over, the mountain spirit is here!"
