Chapter 1194

Gu Ding was too far away to hear Ed's words, but when he saw Jon walking toward the tower, Gu Ding immediately knew that Jon wanted to take him away.

Without waiting for Jon to get close to the tower, Gu Ding jumped down from the other side of the tower, spread his arms, and glided nearly a kilometer away, landing on a roof.

As everyone else's vision was blocked by the tower, no one saw Gu Ding's amazing move.

Just as Jon started to climb the tower, Gu Ding jumped off the roof and hid in an alley.

When Jon reached the top of the tower, he did not see anyone at all. He was stunned.

The top of the tower, other than the walls that were about half a meter tall, had no cover at all. It was a flat area of about ten square meters, and there was not even a pot of flowers.

The only way to reach the top of the tower was through a ladder outside the tower. It was impossible to reach the top from the inside of the tower, and similarly, it was impossible to enter the tower from the top. If anyone wanted to leave the tower, the ladder was the only way. There was no other way.

The ladder was located at the side of the main entrance. Jon walked from the main entrance. If anyone came down from the ladder, he would be able to see them clearly from the side. Even though it was getting dark, Jon believed that his eyes would not be wrong.

However, when he came up, there was no one. That was the truth.

Jon was very surprised. He even wondered if the child he saw before was an illusion, but he immediately dismissed that thought. He was not the only one who saw it. His father and the others saw it too. Even the deviants outside the city saw the child.

He walked around the low walls at the top of the tower and looked down, but still found nothing.

Left with no choice, he climbed down from the top of the tower, returned to the city wall, and told his father about it.

"Could it be a mage?" After listening to Jon, Lord Ed's first guess was, "It's unlikely. A mage can't be that young. The child looks even younger than Bran, probably five or six years old. Forget it, let's leave him alone. He should be safe. "

Ed once again focused his attention on the battle before him.

Although there were catapults, these large weapons couldn't attack very quickly. The Ghouls that weren't hit by the catapults and the Ghouls that were hit by the catapults but didn't die were all frantically running away, getting closer and closer to the city walls.

"Archers!" Ed roared. "Ready … fire!"

More than 300 archers lit their arrows and shot towards the ghouls below the city wall.

All the ghouls that were shot were instantly incinerated by the fire and turned into ashes.

The archer's attack slightly slowed down the enemy's offense.

But suddenly, an ice crystal spear shot up from below and directly pierced through an archer. The spear, which had a diameter of seven or eight centimeters, directly penetrated the archer's chest, leaving a fist-sized wound on his body, and blood splattered all over the ground.

Then, a second one, a third one … Ice crystal spears with a slight icy-blue color were thrown up from below. Although these spears weren't aimed at any target, they were thrown randomly. But the number of people who threw the spears was not small. There were thousands of ghouls. Moreover, the ghouls were extremely strong. Anyone who was hit by one of the spears would die.

Soon, there were only a hundred or so of the three hundred archers left, less than half of the original number.

Winterfell's offense was severely curtailed.

"Let the brothers with good arm strength take the lead. Don't worry about accuracy," Lord Ed immediately made a decision.

Then, the adjutant passed down the order, and many ordinary soldiers joined the archer team.

With this, the number of archers increased. There were more than five hundred of them.

Although most of the soldiers were not accurate, there were so many ghouls and they were so densely distributed that it was difficult to miss.

The battle returned to a state of equilibrium.

As the ordinary soldiers filled in the gaps of the archers, the number of ghouls throwing the ice spears decreased.

But the main force of ghouls kept closing the distance between the two sides, and they were getting closer and closer to Winterfell.

Gu Ding returned to the top of the Scholar's Tower and secretly observed the battle.

This time, no one noticed him because everyone's attention was on the battlefield.

After observing the battle, Gu Ding's gaze fell on Lord Ed. He knew very well that Ed was just an ordinary person. His combat skills might be stronger than an ordinary person's, but he was not beyond the scope of an ordinary person.

But it was this ordinary person that made Gu Ding feel some respect. He finally understood why the people of the Northern Kingdom respected their lord so much.

Even in this situation where the odds were against him, Ed did not show the slightest bit of fear. He was as calm as if he was playing a game of chess. He did not think about what would happen if he lost.

His gaze returned to the battlefield.

Although the archers' positions were filled, many ghouls still broke through the area covered by the rain of arrows and reached the bottom of the wall. Some of them began to hit the gate, while others began to climb the wall.

After all, they had climbed over the Impassable Wall that was more than two hundred meters high. The wall before them was less than twenty meters high. It was a piece of cake for them to climb.

"Brothers at the gate, hold on!"

"Brothers on the wall, prepare the kerosene!"

At Ed's command, the soldiers carried buckets of kerosene and poured it on the edge of the wall.

The wall that was stained with kerosene was instantly slippery, and the ghouls could no longer climb it smoothly.

More and more ghouls gathered at the bottom of the wall, but because of the kerosene, none of them managed to climb the wall.

The leader of the ghouls who noticed Gu Ding earlier seemed a little impatient when he saw this scene. His lips began to move, and a strange sound came out from his mouth.

His voice was like the ghost language of the endless netherworld, and he did not even try to hide it from Ed and the others.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghouls rioted again, and all of them squeezed toward the gate.

Ai De and the rest's expressions changed drastically. Once the city gate was breached, they would really be finished.

At that moment, Gu Ding's figure jumped down from the top of the tower. He spread his arms and glided toward the top of the wall like a flying beast.

His actions quickly attracted the attention of a few deviant ghosts.

Ed and the others finally saw Gu Ding's flying ability in the sky.

"He … He's really a sorcerer …" Even Ed, who was usually very calm, was a little stunned.
