Chapter 438: The Great Wall of Winter, the Night Watch Knights, and Ye Zhi’s Favor

In the Jueling Mountains, the north wind howls.

In the snow, a group of people riding on frost wolves appeared, led by a silver-haired young man sitting on the back of a majestic snow leopard.

The girl with a ponytail hugged the red-haired Valkyrie's waist, and the two of them rode on a giant wolf with a sword in its mouth. The epic monster of the past, the giant wolf Frey, had signed a contract with Hildreth and became her magical pet.

"Hilde, your waist is so thin, is it because you don't eat much?" Gray asked curiously.

The stern red-haired Valkyrie blushed and whispered, "Gray... don't touch me..."

"Hey, the design of the chest of this armor is weird... I'm just going to take a look, don't hide!"

Yeats listened silently with mixed feelings.

Good news, there was no fire in the harem.

Bad news, it seems I’m being ignored!

This trip to the Dwarf Kingdom is not only an opportunity for him to achieve the Holy Land, but also an opportunity for Gray and Hilde to enter the Holy Land.

Yeats remembered that in the mountains near the dwarf kingdom there lived an adult dragon with a violent temper. It oppressed the dwarves and often demanded that the dwarves offer him gold, silver, treasures and rare minerals. It was known as the "evil dragon".

After killing the dragon, Gray can absorb the dragon's soul to further improve her strength! Beside Ye Zhi, a graceful and cold figure sat on the back of the Frostwolf. She stretched out her slender five fingers and gently stroked the Frostwolf's flowing mane.

The witch with long ice-blue hair was wearing a snow-white mink coat. Her blood beneath her skin was an icy indigo blue, like a sapphire from a snowy mountain.

Looking out at the vast snow and wind, the voice of the Frostwind Witch was like frozen honey, pleasant and cold.

"I didn't expect you would choose this time to go to the Snow Giant Kingdom..." The Frostwind Witch paused and frowned slightly. "It's January, and it's still winter there. Famine and low temperatures are tormenting the local creatures, making them extremely aggressive... This is not an ideal travel season."

"Time waits for no one. I have urgent business to attend to. I need to go to the dwarf country under the mountains to find the local forging master." Ye Zhi exhaled a puff of white mist. "When we pass through the snow giant country, I would like to trouble you to act as a guide."

The Frostwind Witch was silent like a piece of cold ice. She thought for a long time, then slowly opened her palms to Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi understood and placed a bright red pepper in her palm. He watched her chew the pepper. Her pale lips turned red and her face gradually became rosy.

The Frostwind Witch exhaled very comfortably, slightly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering gently, and whispered: "The new crop you cultivated... is more useful than strong liquor..."

Ye Zhi smiled slightly: "After all, these are crops that I ripened with the Faun's Afternoon Song, so their efficacy is already in the realm of magic potions!"

"So that's how it is... It seems that only by your side can I experience this delicious taste."

The Frostwind Witch paused for a moment, thinking back over Ye Zhi's words, her eyes flickering slightly:

"You want to go to the Dwarf Kingdom? Be careful. At the intersection of the Dwarf Kingdom and the Snow Giant Kingdom, there is a [Bridge of Eternal Fire and Ice]. It was the place where the God of Storms and the God of Fire once fought a great battle. Even today, you can still see the remaining wills of the two gods fighting there..."

"With your nightmare luck, I'm worried that you will be involved in an unprovoked disaster again." The Frostwind Witch raised her eyes and stared at Ye Zhi quietly, "So... remember to take a detour and avoid that bridge."

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment. It seemed that the news about his physical condition had spread, and even the Winter Priest had heard about it!

"Here's my plan... We will first teleport to Ice Lake City, then head east to the most magnificent fortress in the world, the Great Wall of Winter."

Ye Zhi described his plan: "Once we get the pass and leave the Great Wall, we will reach the country of the Frost Giants, and then we will need you to lead the way."

Anyone who wants to leave the Neverwinter Wall must first obtain a pass issued by the Night Watch Knights. After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Zhi decided to follow the local rules.

This was not out of fear, but respect for the mission of the Night Watch Knights who guarded the borders of the kingdom.

As early as when he was a baron, Yeats had heard of the name of the Knights of the Night's Watch. Their "Night's Watch Declaration" was a famous saying that went down in history... The Great Wall of Neverwinter where they were stationed was a behemoth far beyond the Great Wall of Border Defense, and was known as one of the greatest wonders of the Midgard continent.

The Frostwind Witch nodded silently, then asked Yeats for a bag of dried chilies, tied it to the saddle of the Frostwolf, and chewed it from time to time like a snack.

The fact that Ye Zhi's pet mastered teleportation magic was quite remarkable in the eyes of the Frostwind Witch. Even the most powerful wizard in the Frost Giant Tribe would only exclaim "miracle" when faced with the time and space magic displayed by the Snow Owl.

To be fair, the Frostwind Witch was grateful to the Frost Giants. If they hadn't saved her when she was still a baby, she would have frozen to death in the snow.

However, the frost giants are synonymous with ferocity and terror in human society. They are regarded as the mortal enemy of mankind. Even though they have not appeared in human civilization for a long time, every time they appear, they will attract hostility and encirclement.

The goddess of winter actually comes from the clan of frost giants.

As a priestess of the Winter Goddess and a witch from the Kingdom of Frost Giants, the Frostwind Witch hopes that humans can one day coexist peacefully with the Frost Giants.

But she also knew that this was a fairytale vision... Following Yeats and minimizing the war as much as possible was the limit of what she could do.

Looking at Ye Zhi's profile, a feeling of gratitude quietly welled up in the heart of the Frost Wind Witch, and she thought to herself:

"Luckily, he let me go with him, which reduced the killing... Otherwise, with Ye Zhi's strength, he could have easily passed through the Frost Giant Country..."

"At this point, we are less affected by the power of the elements—"

Arriving at the top of an open snowy peak, Ye Zhi summoned the Snow Owl and instructed, "Use the teleportation spell right here, and the destination is Ice Lake City in the North County Kingdom!"

"When you teleport to a destination, remember to choose a deserted place." Ye Zhi added, "Suddenly showing up in front of others in broad daylight will inevitably cause a commotion."

The Snow Owl nodded, indicating that it understood Ye Zhi's words, and called upon the spatial fluctuations to condense a deep blue transmission halo under everyone's feet.

The next moment, a two-meter-high column of magical light rose from the pattern of the aperture, covering everyone.

The aperture gradually shrank, and soon, silence returned to the top of the snow-capped peak.

Outside of Binghu City, in the depths of the forest where Diamond Teeth first met, a teleportation aperture suddenly appeared.

Ye Zhi and others walked out of the teleportation aperture, looked around, and sighed at the same time.

"Teleportation is really convenient. It greatly improves travel efficiency!"

"If there was such magic in the past, we wouldn't have to spend a month to trade with the North..." Gray said.

"Yeats Yeats, right here, I saved you right here!" Zuanya pointed to a tall pine tree and said excitedly.

Ye Zhi's eyes also flashed with nostalgia, and he smiled and said, "We will have to explore the rest of the way by ourselves... Let the mounts speed up and try to reach the Neverwinter Great Wall within three days!"

*Night fell and the wind was biting cold.

Next to the Giant Dragon Snow Mountain, the winding Great Wall of Neverwinter is majestic and magnificent. The flames on the icy walls shine brightly, reflecting the black steel armor of the Night Watch Knights.

Every Night Watch Knight showed fatigue on their face, and the tips of their spears were still stained with frosty blood. On the vast ice field outside the city, the skeletons of giant beasts and monsters piled up like mountains, and the bloody smell after a great battle lingered in the snowy night.

"Captain Gareth..." The young knight walked up to a one-eyed knight who was sharpening his sword by the campfire and took off the wine bag from his waist. "Drink some to warm yourself up."

The one-eyed knight raised his eyes, his only remaining eye was bloodshot, his beard was scraggly, and his expression was haggard, obviously he had not slept for a long time.

He took the cowhide wine bag handed to him by the young knight and poured it down his throat. The spicy wine rolled into his esophagus like a red-hot carbon ball, and he hissed violently.

"Dwarven liquor... tasty."

"It's a specialty of the Greybeard Tribe." The young knight laughed cheerfully, "Among the three major tribes, this is the tribe that's best at brewing wine!"

The one-eyed knight was also infected by this smile, revealing a trace of tiredness, and whispered:

"How long did this beast tide last?"

"A week." The young knight restrained his smile and said seriously, "The sentinels saw the wolf pack gathering. They are probably organizing the last wave of counterattack... There is reason to suspect that there is a highly intelligent monster in the wolf pack serving as the commander, such as the notorious Frostmaw Wolf!"

Gareth's face turned grim.

The Frostmaw Wolf is the king of the Frost Wolf clan from birth. As long as it grows up smoothly, it can be promoted to an emperor-level monster and become the leader of the Frost Wolf clan.

This kind of magic wolf cannot be tamed by humans at all. It is full of wildness and violence, and will even organize tribes to premeditatedly attack human camps... There have been many genocide incidents caused by the Frostthroat Magic Wolf.

"These beasts are almost out of ammunition and food, yet they dare to attack the Great Wall of Winter."

Gareth put down the leather wine bag, stood up, the frost blade in his hand reflected the cold light, and said coldly:

"Let the teams cheer up... In the long night, the sword must drink blood to survive!"

That night.

The snow is coming down hard.

The howling wind blew up the heavy snow, which smashed towards the Great Wall of Winter like an avalanche.

Outside the Great Wall, dark shadows gathered into an army. Thousands of magical beasts stood in the darkness, with pairs of cold, blood-red eyes that looked particularly ferocious in the snowy night.

On the snow-covered hillside, a gray-white Frostthroat Demon Wolf howled to the sky. The demon beast suddenly began to move like a tide, like a moving torrent crashing into the city wall!

Even in the fierce battle at the Winter Wall, this scale of beast tide is enough to terrify the Night Watch Knights! Amid the roar of the monsters, Gareth could hear his own accelerated heartbeat and rapid breathing... 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters... Suddenly, Gareth raised his sword high and roared, "Fire!"

boom--!!

The fire from the magic cannon lit up the night.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Hundreds of magic cannons fired at the same time, with a deafening sound, bombarding the beast tide, exploding into blood foam all over the sky.

However, the gap was quickly filled by the monsters. These beasts were fearless and absolutely obeyed the powerful superior race, the Frostmaw Wolf. They vowed to use their bodies to knock a gap in the wall! This was simply impossible. The Great Wall of Winter had resisted the beast tide for thousands of years. Every long winter, it would always face the impact from frost giants, wolves, and alien races.

The scene of the beasts attacking tonight has been staged many times in the history of Neverwinter Great Wall! However, reading history books and being on the battlefield in person are bound to be completely different experiences. The young knight's eyes changed from fear at the beginning to numbness, and then gradually gave rise to despair. This beast tide seemed to be endless, and it seemed that day would never come!

Gareth, the leader of the Night Watch Knights, was filled with dark golden fighting spirit. Relying on his five-ring heroic knight attainments, he flew over the top of the city alone and charged into the vast wolf pack alone. They fought bloody battles and went in and out three times! The wolf pack had already broken through the bombing area of ​​the magic cannon. Relying on the piles of corpses piled up by their companions, their sharp claws and nimble bodies, they tried to rush up the city wall. However, the Wall of Winter was like an insurmountable fortress. Except for the corpses of the beasts, the casualties of the Night Watch Knights were minimal! However, Gareth had an accident. When he turned back, he was bitten on the arm by the Frostmaw Demon Wolf that had secretly killed him. He had no choice but to cut off his arm. This caused an uproar among the defenders and their morale dropped rapidly! "Hold the city wall!" Gareth roared, "For your hometown behind you and for the glory of the Night Watch Knights!"

There was a sudden cry from the defenders: "Look--"

"Is that... a shooting star?"

"No, that looks like a human!!"

Gareth was slightly stunned, looked up, and his pupils quickly shrank into a point.

In the snowy night, a figure surging with moonlight fighting spirit hovered above the Great Wall of Absolute Winter, looking down upon the defenders and the beast tide.

Six-ring master!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Gareth instantly realized the other party's strength.

Only a will of the sixth ring level can prevent people from having the slightest thought of usurping the right path! The next moment.

Unparalleled pressure emanated from that figure.

Buzz——

Gareth felt a sharp pain between his brows, and he felt as if his mind had exploded. Everything went blank, and he even had the urge to kneel down and surrender!

at the same time.

The huge pack of wolves let out howls of fear and trembling.

The old and sinister Frostthroat Wolf stared blankly at the figure in the sky, with human-like fear in his eyes. He quickly turned around and fled with his tail between his legs! The young knight stood there in a daze, watching the wolf pack fleeing like the receding tide, and said in disbelief:

“What on earth… just happened?!”

High in the sky.

The silver-haired figure burned with fighting flames, expanding the scale of his own will once again.

Gareth's eyes were filled with shock, as he looked at the scene in disbelief.

The morale of the wolf pack, which had been united, quickly collapsed, and they were defeated by a fierce beast tide!

"If you don't fight back now, when will you fight back?"

The cold transmission sounded in Gareth's ears.

Gareth was startled for a moment, and raised his head in fear, looking at the figure in the sky. An indescribable emotion surged in his chest, and Gareth's expression was moved. He immediately raised his sword and roared:

“Attack, attack!!”

The city gate opened, and the Night Watch Knights rushed out, chasing after the wolves whose morale had collapsed.

Gareth took the lead, rushed to the front of the Frostmaw Wolf, swung his heavy sword, and beheaded it! Victory was already determined.

The night watch knights all cast their gazes of awe, complexity and curiosity towards the figure in the sky.

Whispering.

"Thanks to this master's help, the beast tide was directly disintegrated..."

"Moonlight Dou Qi? Silver hair? These symbols look so familiar..."

"Goddess! That's Yeats from the Bronte family, the Duke of Honeysuckle!!"

Excitement and uproar spread among the crowd.

Yeats Brown's reputation had spread in the North as early as after the Battle of Curling Pass.

Now, after personally experiencing the extraordinary power of the Duke of Honeysuckle, even the coldest Knight of the Night Watch felt a warm current in his heart! "The beast tide is over! We won!!"

Cheers and joy echoed in the sky above the Great Wall of Neverwinter.

"Praise the Art God's Choice!!"

"Long live the Duke of Yeats!!"

"Sure enough, wherever you go, Ye Zhi, something bad happens!" Zuanya complained.

Ye Zhi ignored it calmly, looking down at the figure of the Night Watch Knight Commander, and with an idea in his mind, he sent a message: "Leave the Frostmaw Wolf's Withered Ice Lung to me, I want to make a potion!"

…

Dawn was breaking in the sky.

The aftermath of the beast tide receded.

Last night, the strong man who appeared in the beast tide and saved the situation with just one move, his identity has been widely circulated among the Night Watch Knights.

Wherever you go, you can hear the knights talking.

"That's Yeats Bronte! The Golden Lion hero who once repelled an army of 100,000 orcs!"

"One hundred thousand? I heard that he alone resisted a million-strong orc army?"

"He is the youngest sanctuary in history. Even the great mage Candela once became his apprentice and learned magic from his pet!"

The Frostwind Witch walked on the cold city wall, listening to the rumors that floated into her ears, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

The news was getting more and more outrageous! However, the Frostwind Witch could also understand the Night Watch Knights' admiration and worship of Ye Zhi...

Relying solely on strong willpower, he caused the beast tide to collapse. This is the great hero that every knight aspires to become!

Last night was the first time Ye Zhi tried to use the power of arrogance. Thanks to the blessing of the "Dawn Star" diamond, Ye Zhi's willpower has surpassed the Sanctuary and is far beyond the resistance of mortal beasts.

Just a small test was enough to end the beast tide.

Ye Zhi once again gained a new understanding of the power of the Sanctuary level.

Gareth's severed arm has been reattached through healing magic.

He found Ye Zhi, with sincere respect in his eyes, and said humbly: "Your Excellency the Duke... I didn't expect you to come here, and you took the initiative to help us. I really don't know how to thank you... Please accept my gratitude!"

Gareth knelt on one knee and solemnly saluted Yeats as a knight.

Ye Zhi nodded slightly and said politely, "I came to the North this time to leave the Great Wall of Neverwinter and go to the Dwarf Country... I hope you can issue me a pass. I will be very grateful."

Gareth said timidly, "You are too kind! How many passes do you need? I will bring them to you right away!"

The fact that a great master was so approachable really touched the Knight Commander of the Night Watch.

Even if he forced his way out of the Great Wall of Winter, he couldn't do anything about it! He even helped the Knights of Night Watch in his busy schedule...Gareth was grateful and respectful, and handed Ye Zhi the pass he had prepared.

"Everything you want is here, Your Excellency, including a map of the Dragon Mountains with the Frosthawk Banshee's lair marked on it."

Ye Zhi nodded with satisfaction... The materials for the Frostmaw Wolf were already in hand, and all that was missing was the Frost Tears of the Frosthawk Banshee, which would allow the Snow Leopard to be promoted to an Imperial-level Magical Beast! Ye Zhi did not stay at the Neverwinter Wall for long, and said goodbye to Gareth that day and went deep into the Dragon Snow Mountain.

In the flying snow, Gareth stared at Ye Zhi's disappearing back for a long time, turned around, patted his right arm that was lost and recovered, and said to the young knight earnestly:

"This arm of mine, as well as the arm of the Knights of the Night's Watch, can only be reattached thanks to Lord Yeats!"

The young knight nodded solemnly and said, "Understood, Night Watch Knight, you must remember the kindness of Lord Yeats!"

“A-choo!”

Ye Zhi rubbed the tip of his nose, glanced at the little squirrel standing on his shoulder, and said, "Diamond Tooth, you're out of dinner!"

Drill Teeth: ??? Yeats, you are a poet part-time!
