In a few days.
Several Rangers in black cloaks lie on horseback and escape from the ghost forest with scars and come to the magnificent desperate Great Wall.
"Open the gate!"
"Open the gate!"
The night watchman sentry on the desperate Great Wall found them and spoke loudly, while the guards on duty in front of the gate below pulled the rope.
WOW——
The noose chain made a sound, the heavy solid oak gate was pulled up, and then several hastily escaped Rangers fell on horseback and entered the seed of the desperate Great Wall.
"Hey, brother, what happened?"
A brother of the night watchman in black came forward and took the runaway Rangers off their horses. Then he found out how seriously they were injured.
One of the Rangers even had a big hole in his abdomen, as if a hand had pierced his abdomen and pulled out all his intestines.
The Ranger had been dead for a long time, and even the body had lost its temperature. The joints were stiff, but his legs were still tightly clamped on the horse's back, so he didn't bump the body off the horse's back, and the horse fled back with the rest of the Ranger's horses.
Several night watchman brothers wasted their strength to lift him off his horse. The body was padded with a layer of wood and placed on the ground, but they still kept the posture of riding.
All the night watchmen who heard the news were silent when they saw this scene.
The rest of the rangers who escaped were also injured, and their faces were pale and dull. They didn't know what they had encountered. It seemed that they had been greatly stimulated.
Chief Ranger banyan stark was the best of the escaped Rangers, but there was also a shocking scratch on his back, tearing his cloak and leaving long marks on him.
"This injury..."
"Banyang, what caught this?"
A brother of the night watchman was surprised and asked.
However, Banyang bowed his head and was silent.
"Hoo..."
Then he breathed out a long white fog, shook his head slightly and shut up.
And at this time.
Hearing that the rangers who had lost contact for several days finally returned, Jay Mormon, the 997th commander-in-chief of the night watchman corps, came down to the scene from the high steps of the commander's tower.
The old commander's bald head still had a few lonely white hair flying in the wind, his hairy gray beard also swayed a few times, and he also carried a hand and a half sword with a bear head carved on the hilt.
This is the valerian steel sword handed down by the Mormon family - long claw.
"Commander in chief."
"Lord Mormont."
Seeing the arrival of the commander-in-chief, the night watchmen all stood aside.
And Jao Mormont came to the scene, separated the crowd, saw the tragedy of the Rangers sitting on the ground, frowned slightly, looked up at the chief Ranger.
"Ban Yang, what happened?"
Mormont knew that banyan was a mature and experienced commander who commanded the Rangers to go out and fight. He had never suffered such heavy losses. Was he ambushed by savages?
The chief Ranger heard the commander-in-chief's words, his sharp cheeks were a little pale, took a deep breath, then took Mormont's hand, stood up from the ground and exhaled the white fog.
"Commander in chief, let's talk alone."
"Call Monsieur IMON, too."
"Oh?"
When old Mormont heard Banyang's words, a pair of yellow old eyes suddenly coagulated slightly, and looked at Banyang's eyes from a close distance.
After a long time, he nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice.
"OK."
"We'll talk about it when we get back to the house."
Then Mormont turned his head and spoke to Bowen Marcy, the chief affairs officer next to him.
"Bowen, go and call Monsieur IMON."
"Yes, commander in chief."
The chief affairs officer, who looked fat and red like a pomegranate, agreed, glanced again, and banyan stark nodded.
Then he walked in the direction of the crow's nest, and the bachelor's room was just below the crow's nest.
"Yes."
Banyan stark nodded slightly.
Then he turned his head and glanced at the other Rangers, who had been told by Ban Yang in advance and nodded that they would keep it strictly confidential.
Then Banyang followed the commander-in-chief and climbed the wooden steps of the commander-in-chief tower.
The old commander walked slowly in front, and the chief Ranger followed him. Both of them were silent on the road. The steps made a creaking sound. When they reached the door, they took out the key and opened the door.
"Come in."
Mormont raised his head and motioned. Banyan followed him into the commander-in-chief's room, and then closed the door.
There is also a bird cage hanging on the wall of the house. In the cage, a raven is looking at banyan stark with its head tilted.
"Tell me, Banyang."
"What happened to you?"
When the commander-in-chief was old, he was a little panting after climbing the stairs. Then he sat on the chair next to the desk, picked up the water cup and drank a mouthful of hot water.
Raised his head and asked.
The chief Ranger, who was still very embarrassed, stood in the middle of the room, lowered his head, organized the language a little, and then raised his head again. His voice was hoarse.
"We encountered a strange ghost, commander in chief."
Banyang's voice fell, Mormont was stunned, and then subconsciously shook his head decisively.
"Impossible!"
He thought ban Yang would say what kind of reason, but he didn't think it was such a bad excuse.
"Banyang..."
Mormont was even disappointed.
He thought it was Banyang who led the Rangers to be ambushed by savages, and then fled back with heavy losses.
For fear of punishment, he unified his caliber with all the rangers who escaped before returning to black castle.
No one can make mistakes. Old Mormont himself made many mistakes when he was young, but it is the right way to admit and change mistakes in time.
So he gave the young man a face and went back to the house to talk alone.
But I didn't expect to disappoint him that ban Yang didn't take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and even found such a bad excuse.
"I didn't lie, Lord Mormont."
Ban Yang was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief didn't believe what he said, and then opened his mouth to retort.
And at this time.
A trembling figure appeared in front of the commander-in-chief's bedroom. The old man held the threshold with his hand, and his voice was hoarse and trembling.
"Strange ghosts haven't appeared for thousands of years."
"Lord stark."
"You just say that, commander in chief, you won't believe it..."
"You also need to prove that you're not lying."
