There was a slight movement in the bushes beside him.
"Um?"
As the leader of this group of rangers, Benjen Stark, the chief ranger of the Night's Watch from the Stark family, raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of the noise.
"What was the noise there just now?"
Benjen Stark frowned slightly, but the other rangers quickly became alert.
The Rangers differ from other members of the Night's Watch in that they include thieves, debtors, poachers, rapists, thieves and bastards.
The Rangers are the most elite warriors in the Night Watch. Most of their members come from noble or titled families and have received good swordsmanship training since childhood.
Some join the Night's Watch voluntarily, while others are forced to make choices due to the failure of political struggles within the kingdom.
Therefore, the Rangers frequently gained the upper hand in battles with the wildlings and became the number one enemy of Mance Rayder, the "King Beyond the Wall". All the wildlings wanted to eat their flesh alive.
At Benjen Stark's words, all the rangers fell silent for an instant.
A dozen 'crows' looked at each other, then quietly turned over and dismounted.
The chief ranger with long black hair stared intently at the bush where the sound came from.
There was a lot of wind and snow in the past few days, accompanied by the biting wind and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling. This is already the norm in the ghost forest. The climate north of the Great Wall is such a harsh one.
So they found a place to escape the wind and snow, and now they set out on their journey again.
But Bunyan couldn't see clearly what was hidden inside wherever he looked. He was silent for a moment, and then raised his hand.
The two rangers nodded and followed him. The three of them bent over and explored the place where the sound came from.
And at this time.
Not far away, there was another sound in the bushes that had just made noise.
But this time they heard clearly. It seemed that a group of people far away from them were calling loudly, and the words they spoke were still in obscure language that they could not understand.
"It's a savage!"
Bunyan, who led the two brothers to touch him, immediately understood the identity of the other party.
Only the area north of the Great Wall retains the ancient language of the ancestors, and except for the Night Watchmen, all the people living here are savages.
And these calling voices seemed to be being chased by something terrible, running in the direction of Benyan and the rest of the rangers.
"Bunyan, what should we do?"
Another ranger brother asked their leader in a low voice.
The long-faced man's gray-blue eyes narrowed slightly, he clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, then exhaled the white mist, and spoke decisively.
"Kill them when they come."
"good!"
All the fellow Rangers nodded.
Then a dozen rangers dressed in black nimbly followed Bunyan, took off their bows and arrows from their backs, put on the bowstrings, and hid in the bushes, ready to ambush the group of savages.
There are no roads north of the Great Wall of Despair, and there are only open spaces where people can walk out.
Their horses were tied to trees, and the rangers were preparing to ambush the unfortunate group of savages.
"These damn guys seem to be being chased by some wild beast."
One of the rangers said with a sneer.
The savages hate the Night Watchmen, and the Night Watchmen naturally have a deep hatred for the savages. I don’t know how many brothers have died in their hands.
Then, not too long passed before the tree shadows blocked the view, and the group of yelling savages finally appeared in the sight of the rangers.
But what made Bunyan a little strange was that he didn't see anything chasing them from behind these savages.
"What are they running for?"
This group of savages lives north of the Great Wall in a harsh environment, and each of them is very agile, because the savages who are not suitable for survival die young when they grow up, and ordinary beasts are no match for these savages.
"What is chasing them?"
If it's just one or two, that's it, but so many savages...
The sharp-faced man's brows were slightly furrowed, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
However, at this moment, one of the rangers took the lead and fired an arrow.
Bang——
The bowstring made a sound, and a bow and arrow made a sharp sound as it shot through the air, and then hit a savage directly in the throat.
puff.
The arrow penetrated his neck, blood spattered in the white snow, and the body fell into the snow and disappeared instantly.
"Damn! There's a 'crow'!"
The fleeing savages were shocked when they saw this scene, and then a savage who knew the common language shouted loudly.
"There are monsters! We are not enemies!"
However, before he could finish his words, a dozen rangers fired arrows in unison in the next second.
Bang bang bang——
Each of the Rangers is an elite member of the Night Watch, and their arrows are extremely accurate. This group of savages without armor can only use their bodies to block the Rangers' arrows.
So they all fell down quickly, and their bodies were submerged in the snow, leaving a lot of bright red in this vast whiteness.
The last savage was hit by an arrow in the thigh and fell down in the snow, but still struggled to crawl towards them.
"Leave one alive!"
Seeing this scene, Bunyan felt a little uneasy and quickly spoke to stop him.
However, his voice was still a step too late, and a ranger beside him loosened his bowstring.
puff--
The cold arrow penetrated into the neck of the last savage, and blood quickly spread in the white snow.
"this..."
The ranger shrugged his shoulders innocently.
"Sir, you speak too slowly."
"But the savages don't have anything to interrogate. Their settlements change places from time to time. By the time of our next patrol, they will probably have moved."
In order to pursue survival, savages often need to migrate to places with more food and water sources, so they have no fixed residence.
"Well, forget it."
Bunyan frowned, but didn't say much.
Wow——
Then a group of rangers hiding behind the bushes stood up one after another.
Now that all the savages have been eliminated, they are ready to go forward and loot their corpses.
There is nothing good here in the Great Wall of Despair, but the weapons and equipment must not be left to this group of savages.
Then several rangers held on to the trees and slid down.
But Bunyan was still standing on a high place with his arms folded in front of his chest, looking at the direction where the savages were fleeing not far away, thinking slightly about something.
At this moment, an extremely pale face suddenly broke into his field of vision.
"Um?"
Bunyan was slightly startled and did not react immediately.
However, the pale face disappeared from his eyes in the next second.
