Chapter 241 - 242 - The Great War of Salvation (III)
"May the fate of humanity be benevolent to our future." A random soldier in the Great War of Salvation.

"Although I’ve seen the Wights, I have to say, they are ugly." Looking at the army below the wall, Rhaenys commented with a tone of disgust. The appearance of the Wights was truly ugly, with pale blue skin, missing pieces of flesh, and frightening eyes.
It was no wonder that these Wights were told as horror stories to scare children; such creatures were truly suitable for that.
"Yes, even from afar, I still smell their horrible stench." Daenerys nodded her head with an expression similar to Rhaenys’, full of disgust for the aberrations below.
"However, that’s good; they are just unintelligent monsters." Daenerys added with a relieved tone. If such an army had intelligence, they would be in a lot of trouble. Facing an intelligent army and an unintelligent army were two totally different concepts.
"Let’s begin." Daenerys said with a solemn tone. The next instant, the cannons roared, firing at the army of Wights below. Metal balls tore through the air at great speeds and hit the ground, exploding.
"BOOMMMMMMM!!!" "BOOMMMMMMM!!!" "BOOMMMMMMM!!!" "BOOMMMMMMM!!!"
Explosions began to sound throughout the battlefield. When the metal balls touched the ground, they exploded and scattered debris everywhere, destroying the Wights’ bodies into many pieces.
The Scorpions on top of the wall also fired enormous arrows, which looked more like spears, only much thicker and with a power that no mortal being could withstand head-on.
An arrow from the Scorpion pierced six or seven Wights at once, going through them from one side to the other. Obviously, it didn’t kill the almost immortal beings, but it was enough to immobilize and delay their advance.
