Sword and Magic and Taxi

The war in the south has already begun, and the war in the north of the Great Wall is about to begin. Since Jon's return, Elder Bear has issued a mobilization order, requiring all Night Watchmen to stock up on combat supplies, start training according to the strictest standards, and be ready to deal with threats from the dead at any time.

The dead did not appear again, but everyone knew in their hearts that they would appear sooner or later. Although there are rumors that the savages found the help of wizards from nowhere and cast evil spells just to scare the night watchmen. But the truth is far from that. Even the wildlings who often harass the Night's Watch are also threatened by the White Walkers, who are gathering to cross the Wall. If you can't let it go, then crush it and kill it.

The Night's Watch is still not sure whether the White Walkers appear sporadically or on a large scale, but the threat of the wildlings is really felt. Lord Commander Mormont received various reports that the wildlings were gathering. We don’t know how big they are or when and where they are going to do it. The defense line of the Great Wall is too long, and there are too few night watchmen to take care of it. He had a plan and was ready to take the initiative and make an unexpected show of strength to stop the savages.

Zhao Mai understood what he was thinking and appreciated his courage. This was a good opportunity to cross the Great Wall, so he also took the initiative to join the training of the Night Watch to make himself more useful.

Another person who particularly enjoyed this training was Jon. Since his return, the boy has finally grown up and understands that he is only a mortal, and mortals can only improve through hard work. He finally found a suitable opponent.

If you move half a step to the side and then aim at my ribs, I will lose my balance even if I block with my sword.

Zhao Mai chuckled twice: Yes, your technique is better than mine. But my speed, strength and accuracy are better than yours, so you lie on the ground and I stand.

Jon got up from the ground, patted his butt, and then picked up his sword: Come again!

It must be said that Jon grew up in the Stark family and received the best education in the North. He has more than one swordsmanship teacher, riding teacher, and archery teacher, and he does not have the trouble of inheritance, so he can concentrate on learning these, which makes him far superior to his peers in swordsmanship. In the entire Night Watch Legion, there are only a few serious knights, and most of them are thieves, robbers, and fraudsters. He couldn't find a suitable opponent until he hit a wall with Zhao Mai.

I don't know why, seeing you knocked to the ground, I felt happy and sad at the same time. Piper stood aside with his sword and said to Jon: This feeling is very strange, I am not sure, so Would you like to come again a few more times?

Don't make sarcastic remarks, Piper, you can come down and try. Jon breathed hard, white mist kept coming out of his mouth: Mike, I will find a way to defeat you.

Oh, I'm afraid this is difficult. Zhao Mai shook his head: Do you think that's all I can do now?

I don't understand why the Seven Kingdoms haven't heard of your name? With your skills, you can easily win the championship in the martial arts tournament, right?

Yes, that's not a big problem. But what's the benefit? Zhao Mai saw Jon coming with his sword, neither retreating nor blocking, and rushed into Jon's arms with his explosive power driven by psychic powers. , and then hit him in the head with a headbutt. Jon was startled, and then he squatted down, covering his head.

How can anyone fight like this? He was still very unconvinced.

Ghoulies will do this. Zhao Mai said: They have only one purpose, very simple, which is to kill you. Your sword moves are exquisite and can keep up with various changes, but there is a flaw. That means it can't kill you with one hit. Do the wights care about losing a few pieces of intestines or losing an arm? I'll use my headbutt, and they'll chew it with their teeth. Your whole face should be gone by this time.

Zhao Mai looked at the people around him. They were all good friends of Jon, and they were all men who could be brothers. So he said: Ghouls have only one weakness, and that is their heads. Only by beheading them can you defeat them. So don't think about attacking the torso with a sword. From now on, there can only be three targets: head, neck, And the claws reaching out to you. The wights have no sword skills, they are just faster, stronger than you, and more ferocious than you. He looked around, and then said: Just like me.

If the corpses were like you, we would really be dead. The melancholy Eddie said with a frown.

Of course not as good as me. Zhao Mai said: You sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war.

This sentence was heard not only by those who were training, but also by Commander Mormont and Master Aemon who were standing in the corridor of the castle. Mr. Xiong personally pushed the bachelor's wheelchair and placed him in a place sheltered from the wind and where he could bask in the sun: Master Eamonn, where does this Mike come from? Can you tell?

I have been blind for several years, Mormont, have you forgotten? Master Aemon tilted his head, chasing the sun like a sunflower: Old friend, I don't know where he came from. Maybe they came down from the sky to help us.

Why do you say that?

He has been reading at my place, and long before the corpse stood up to attack us, he was looking for specific books. Master Aemon said slowly: They are all poems from ancient myths, and some from our night watchmen. Battle records. He gave those books to Samwell, and is now sorting them out further.

In other words, he knew it a long time ago? Mormont frowned, a little unbelievable: Master Aemon, are you saying that prophecies like this can come true?

From a bachelor's point of view, I can only say that I don't know. But as an old man, I really hope that the prophecy and magic are true. Master Aemon blinked, and he felt that he could see the changes in light and darkness. , his eyesight seems to be improving, which is also a magical thing related to Mike. You know I am a Targaryen, but our family has been without dragons since I was a child. Do you know how sad a Targaryen childhood is without dragons? If before I die, I can see magic , I can see miracles happen, then I can know that all my hopes in life are not illusions, then I can rest in peace.

We really need a miracle now. Mormont said: I decided to lead the troops north to the wildling hinterland to see what happened there. I hope that the moving corpses are just a trick played by the wildlings, but I have a feeling , things are not that simple! If the worst happens, perhaps only a miracle can save the Night Watchmen and the fighting nobles in the south.

Didn't you ask Alliser to bring the moving dead head? That should be able to convince them. Master Aemon said.

I hope so too. Mormont's expression said otherwise, and the stern expression on his face did not change at all. Master Eamonn, I'm going to take Mike with me. Hasn't he always wanted to see the Great Wall?

Have you decided? Have you figured out how the horse water tank flew up and killed the ghoul?

Not yet. It took five people to move that thing back. But yes, I decided. Mac is a little weird, but he is not a bad guy. Mormont smiled bitterly: The Night's Watch used to be The place of honor that the knight wanted to go to has now become the habitat of the bandit. Even if he is a villain, I have long been used to it.

Mormont, you'd better keep him by your side. Master Aemon said, If you expect a miracle.
