Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 262 A Warm Greeting from the North

At that moment, everyone looked towards the base of the city wall, towards the trees shrouded in thick fog. As everyone's gaze fell upon it, the pale fog covering the forest silently dissipated, revealing the terrifying truth hidden behind the mist to every garrison member!

They saw it.

They saw tens of thousands of ghouls emerge from the forest, and witnessed the undead army, numbering in the tens of thousands and seemingly endless even from above, completely blocking the crenellations of the Wall. The dead corpses bore all sorts of gruesome wounds. And each of them possessed a pair of crystalline blue eyes, staring directly at every living creature on the wall!
"Yes, it's the White Walkers!"

The Others have infiltrated the wights.

They rode the same dead warhorses, their bodies pale, and carried swords or spears forged from magical ice. All the ghouls obeyed their commands completely, and their undead army halted at the boundary line about three hundred meters outside the Wall!
Three hundred meters is really not a long distance.

One of the White Walkers suddenly raised its hand and hurled a javelin made of ice crystals at a stunned Night's Watch warrior on the city wall!
"shield."

The anchored watchman was at a loss.

He knew he was in deep trouble, and all he could see was the terror of death. He didn't know whether he should pick up a weapon to defend himself, or simply drop to the ground and dodge. And even if he did make one of those decisions, he didn't have the speed to actually do it!

There is nothing he can do.

But Wu Chen had already reached out his hand.

As Wu Chen's declaration landed, a crimson blood bead vanished without a trace. And using this valuable fulcrum as a medium, a small amount of magic within the Great Wall was successfully mobilized!

A semi-transparent, dark blue shield rose up, clearly visible to every Night Watchman. At that moment, Wu Chen clearly sensed that the efficiency of his magical mobilization had increased slightly, which undoubtedly meant yet another effective technological breakthrough.

—Another new achievement has been made.

—The Night's Watch's collective recognition and acceptance also serves to increase the efficiency of the Wall's magical manipulation. Having witnessed my power and the terror of the White Walkers, their acceptance of supernatural forces has reached an ideal level. Perfect, they can be used to my advantage.

The difficulty of magical research seems to be much simpler than expected.

Wu Chen nodded slightly in satisfaction, then channeled the error-correction magic power saved from the increased efficiency back into the protective magic shield. The arrow that had come flying through the air, almost accompanied by a sonic boom, was thus stuck on the side of the shield, unable to advance an inch, until all the kinetic energy it carried was neutralized. The arrow, which had accomplished nothing, then fell off the shield.

The defenders cheered.

Their joy and excitement amplified their perceived power. Celebrating victory made it easier to secure another, and the next moment, Wu Chen's announcement propelled them even further.

“Light,” Wu Chen said.

Pure light was thus created, and it was not Nirn's healing spell.

It simply floats above the Great Wall, bringing no extra heat. Yet, even without increasing the temperature, the positive energy emanating from within the Great Wall still showers down upon both its upper and lower sections!

The shelter thus reached its goal, and the defenders atop the Great Wall were thus protected from the cold, finding ample warmth. Temporary power flowed into every tendon of their bodies, sharpening their minds and making their movements swift and agile.

The horde of ghouls scattered below the city walls seemed to be doused with scorching fire.

A roar rang out.

The ghouls at the forefront suddenly burst into pure white flames.

They were scorched and burned. In the blink of an eye, only large pieces of bones remained, and the remaining parts fell and shattered, turning into disintegrating ash that flew in all directions.

At least a thousand wights were destroyed in that instant. And the Others who commanded them retreated into the depths of shadow under the intense light.

They took a step back.

The defenders atop the city walls erupted in another great cheer—they hadn't actually engaged in combat, but they were already enjoying the overall spoils of victory. However, Wu Chen's brow remained slightly furrowed.

"Step back," he said.

His instructions were conveyed to every living creature atop the city walls.

This was not a request, but a command. This command was accompanied by a surge of magic. And the next moment, an invisible force pulled at all the Night's Watch warriors near the city walls, forcibly dragging them backward!

"Boom!!"

The air was torn apart.

The torn air originated from the White Walkers' second tactic.

Those were nearly a hundred ice javelins, which, in a sense, confirmed the total number of White Walkers. They hurtled through the air in unison, striking the very front of the city wall with precision and swiftness!

'Boom—!' The ice crystals exploded at the front of the city wall.

The seal of the Wall only applies to the supernatural entity itself, not to its derivatives—in any case, the force carried by the javelin is an undeniable physical effect. And even if the magical curse contained within the exploding ice crystals is ineffective, the sharp ice crystals can still be lethal.

Some of the night watchmen groaned as they were too far forward to be pulled to a safe enough place by Wu Chen's psychic pull—they were still injured and hit, but their injuries were not very serious.

It was not as painful as the injury Wu Chen had inflicted on them when he ascended the city walls.

However, it is still necessary to avoid accumulating small amounts into large sums.

"Raise shields, take cover, wounded, back!" Wu Chen gave the order again, and this time the Night Watch soldiers instinctively followed his command. The wounded and the unwounded were quickly positioned appropriately, and in the next moment, a second volley of ice crystal javelins rained down on the top of the city wall!

Another round of explosions.

But this time, the White Walkers' spears had no effect whatsoever.

Because the magical curses attached to the javelins are ineffective, these javelins, which could freeze even the bruised into pieces in an instant, can only have a small amount of magical effect that is mostly physical. In this case, even ordinary sandbags can become highly effective protection.

No loss.

Therefore, Wu Chen's resources can be allocated elsewhere.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and extracted Mondas's unique magic from the elemental sphere. The next moment, an invisible javelin exploded suddenly within the White Walker horde he had targeted.

'Boom—!' Several alien demons were reduced to shattered bones. This meant that Wu Chen had won this first exchange.

—That's it?
Wu Chen frowned.

He suddenly felt that the moisture in the air was increasing.
