149 The Road Outside the Great Wall

The army walked out of the narrow exit of the Great Wall one after another, and gathered at the foot of the Great Wall again.

In the team, horses neighed, and the wheels of the supply vehicle crushed the hard ground to form a creaking sound. The knights gathered together and held their last prayers before leaving.

And when all the troops were assembled, under the leadership of an old savage, they officially set off.

The destination of this trip was to the hill where the Three-eyed Crow was. Based on what Charles saw and the red-robed female divination, they roughly described the general location of the place. An old savage recognized the specific location of the location - a place called Shujiao Mountain not far from Fengsheng Gorge.

...

"I remember peeing there before." The old savage Goni rode on the horse's back and followed Charles. As he spoke, the breath of breath hovered white in front of his chest, and a circle of yellow beards around his mouth gradually turned white.

The Great Wall is cold enough, and the temperature becomes lower the further north of the Great Wall.

These savages who have lived outside the Great Wall since childhood are not too unbearable, and the northern soldiers led by Charles and Melisandra are a little unbearable.

Less than half a day after the soldiers rode on their horses and trembled with their teeth trembling.

Surprisingly, Charles, a guy who looks tender and tender, was not affected much. Although he was wearing a thick robe and plush coat, he seemed quite calm. He turned around and looked around and his face was full of energy.

"Why are you not afraid of the cold?" Someone in the rear army murmured in a low voice.

"He is not an ordinary person, so of course he is not afraid of the cold." Someone next to him responded, trembling while holding his arms.

"Then why is that woman in red robe not afraid of the cold?"

"Maybe it's not cold even if you follow the adults?" the soldier said, looking forward with a little envious look.

...

There is no real road outside the Great Wall. More than two thousand troops staggered forward in the snow, forming a long and narrow line.

One day, two days, three days...

No accident happened, the team kept moving forward, crossing the plain at the foot of the Great Wall, walking into the white forest, and then crossed a bridge from a place called the Lujiao River outside the white forest, and finally rushed to the ghost forest deeper outside the frontier.

A black eagle always soared over the army, looking down at the army below, and everything around the army, occasionally making waves of tweets.

That was the "pet" of the old savage Goni. Or a shaped companion.

This Goni was sent by the King of the West outside the West to assist them. After all, it was too passive to walk in this endless snow without a keen sight.

"Those white ghosts only appear at night, and corpse ghosts may appear at any time."

On the way, the old savage Goni said so.

"You always fight with them?" Charles looked at him, rubbing his face with both hands as he asked.

The Sun Son's talent problem is that he is not afraid of the cold now, but he is just not afraid of it, not to the point of being completely cold.

After rushing for a long time, his face was already a little frozen. Therefore, a magic called Furnace Technique, which had been forgotten for a long time, came in handy.

The spell is relatively small, and it keeps whispering along the way. Others can't tell what he says, but they are curious about the red cheeks.

The woman in the red robe next to her noticed something unusual, but she didn't care much. Compared to Charles, the witch relied on the ruby ​​on her Adam's apple, but she was not afraid of being cold at all.

...

"No, we never fought with the White Ghost head-on during the migration." The old savage answered Charle's question: "But they kept following our butts, constantly attacking, and refused to appear head-on."

As he said that, he seemed to think of something bad, and spitted on the ground with angrily, but it turned into ice before it fell to the ground, and rolled and sank into the snow shell.

"It's not counting that those who are behind, the scouts we sent alone have died several hundred times."

...

The Great Wall reacted very quickly. The total number of casualties in the savages' migration this time was only more than a thousand, so Charles dared to take the initiative to beat them like this.

Otherwise, he would not have put himself in danger so easily when facing tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of corpses.

Of course, excluding the savages, there are still other living animals north of the Great Wall, but relatively fewer ones.

...

The army travels through the endless ghost forest, and often encounters abandoned villages after abandonment.

This forest was usually the largest gathering place for the wild people, but now it has been completely abandoned by them, but they cannot forget the memories of this place.

On the way, the old savage even dug out a jar of honey wine from a certain village. Facing the strange gazes around him, he grinned.

"Old Raymond was bitten to death by the snow bear before Mance summoned us. I knew that the treasure he had hidden would not be discovered. Look, sure enough, his son is a fool!"

...

As the northern army kept rushing, the initial fear of the outside world was gone.

After seven or eight days in a row, they didn't even encounter wild animals attacks several times, and with the guidance of savages, they were basically familiar with the marching of this huge snow forest.

So there is nothing unbearable about this trip except that it is very cold.

Fear originated from the unknown. Now that we are constantly exploring, the originally strange world full of fog suddenly becomes clear, and the soldiers feel that everything around us is nothing more than that.

Charles relaxed a lot because of this, but he still had a little vigilance.

It doesn't go well, it doesn't work well, it doesn't work well if it goes well.

They went smoothly along the way, even surprisingly. Melisandra was worried about using her flame to divine "fortune telling" and did not find anything unusual.

This situation lasted for half a month. With the uninterrupted journey, the army had already penetrated outside the border for many miles. When they finally looked around, the hill called Shujiao Mountain was already faintly visible.

"Keep alert, this is the last leg of the way."

After a few glances at the destination, the old savage gave a serious command, then closed his eyes slightly and began to observe the surroundings with his eagle.

It is impossible for the enemy to not find their traces, but nothing happened along the way. Everyone who is a little confused about this knows that this is not normal.

But even if it is abnormal, the team is not scared away by this "empty city plan". Instead, they insist on rushing, but they are much more cautious in their actions.

As the destination approaches, under the unique gray sky outside the Great Wall, the army gradually escapes from the forest and walks on a plain between Shujiao Mountain and the forest. Everyone subconsciously slows down their pace.

The sound of horse hooves sank in the snow shell was continuous, and the entire team maintained a circular formation, not seeking speed, but only seeking stability.

Shire was in the front of the military formation. While walking silently, a sound suddenly came not far away. Jon Snow beside him moved his ears, and the arrow in his hand immediately aimed at that direction, and then the arrow flew away. In the snow, a snow fox whimpered and collapsed to the ground.

"It's just a fox, sir." Jon Snow's voice sounded relieved, and the weapon in his hand was naturally put down.

That's right, the Stark's illegitimate child is also in the team.

This delicate young man had a relatively cautious personality. Logically speaking, he should not participate in such a dangerous move. It was just that because of a red-haired savage not far away, when the team set off, he resolutely followed.

It made Charles vaguely think of a sentence, "I was knocked out by hormones."

The team moved forward slowly.

The plains around Shujiao Mountain were so snowy that it was hard to walk in the horses, and in the end the army had to get off their horses and walk.

"This place used to be a depression, and it would be much better to cross this area." said the old savage Goni, who was following him.

Shire nodded. He also dismounted and walked among the guards, lifted his legs and stepped forward, but not long after, his eyes suddenly condensed.

"alert!"

He suddenly shouted, so the soldiers around him immediately stopped moving forward, and at the same time, the sound of the horns also rang out quickly.

The entire army stopped because of this.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

Charles didn't say anything, but pointed to the front, so the people around him hurriedly looked around.

There should be nothing there, but at Charles's warning, Jon Snow shot an arrow, and then a mummy-like black hand suddenly emerged from the snow shell, followed by two and three...

The terrified hand broke through the snow layer and supported it to climb out of the snow pile. Under the staring of the soldiers, a team of hideous and terrifying corpse ghouls appeared in front of them soon.
