On the Ancestral Fist Peak, in the snow, next to the spiral diagram of the stump, the Night King was wearing a black cloak, which was the cloak of the night watchmen. His body, skin, and reddish hair were all shrouded in ice, and through the thin ice of armor protection, he could see the true skin and color of the human race in his cold ice.

The Night King's ice-blue eyes looked at the gray sky, and he saw that on the sea of Fort Difficulty, hundreds of miles away, the last fleet of the Eastern Sea Lookout noticed something strange on the coast, several warships did not dock, but kept a long distance, and there were nearly two hundred people standing on the deck, they were the night watchman of the East Sea Watch and the guard of the Prime Minister of Davos Seaworth, all of them looking at the shore on the deck.

On the coast, ghouls and strangers are cleaning up the battlefield and erasing all traces of slaughter on the battlefield.

Fort Hardship's plea for help wasn't just limited to Donghaiwang, they also sent messages to the Shadow Tower and Castle Black.

The Night King felt a slight regret in his heart, the Terrans were very cunning, and even divided their troops into two ways, and a fleet with a large fleet saw the end of the slaughter on the coast, as long as there was a little more time, the scene of the slaughter in the snow could be completely covered.

The Night King needs ships, and large warships are what he desperately needs. The Great Wall of Desperation could not be broken through from the front, because there was a huge magic circle in the base of the ice and snow wall. The only purpose of the magic circle is to prevent the passage of ghouls and strangers.

Unless the wall collapses, there is no way for the Xenos and Ghouls to cross the Wall of Desperation. The Great Wall of Desperation itself is a huge magic array against dark magical creatures.

Eight thousand years ago, when the Terrans and Humanoids were in the Age of Magic, the wizards of the continent gathered and built the Great Wall of Desperation under the leadership of Brandon Stark. The pedestal stone of the Great Wall of Desperation, the walls of the ice wall, are carved with magic spells and magic patterns that prevent the passage of strangers and ghouls.

Unable to force his way through the Great Wall, the Night King thought of a way: to make a detour, bypass the Great Wall, and enter the Night's Watchman's 500-mile land.

Walk the west side of the Great Wall, cross the Grand Canyon or take a boat on the frozen coast, cross the frozen bay and enter the Wolf Forest Mountains. But the road is too difficult, and the Wolf Forest Mountains are difficult to climb. To the east, you only need to pass Seal Bay to access the tundra plains of the north, without having to climb over the Grand Canyon or over the steep mountains.

To cross the Great Wall of Desperation in Seal Bay, you need a boat, especially a large warship that can hold hundreds or thousands of strange ghosts.

Davos Seaworth's fleet was carrying the Great War Ships, and unfortunately, he was a step later than Sir Steele, and happened to see the ghouls on the shore of the hill behind Fort Hard, and the ghouls were cleaning the battlefield, sweeping away the bloodstains, and collecting the weapons that had fallen to the ground, and the slain Night's Watch brothers, one by one, rose again, their eyes turned ice blue, their faces were wooden, their bodies retained the wounds they had had been wounded before death, and one of their faces had also become pitch black, a strange charcoal black, as if they had been smoked by black smoke.

Davos Seaworth released ravens to Fort Tough, and if the ravens couldn't come back, it would prove that Fort Hard had fallen.

On the dock on the shore, there were seven ships, six long and narrow warships, each of which seemed to be a big fish. Because it is long and narrow, there are not many ghouls that can be installed. But with seven ships, it was possible to attack the Tokai Fleet at night and capture all the ships.

The Night King's ice-blue eyes suddenly froze as he looked at the scene of the Tough Castle hundreds of miles away, and one of his eyes was watching him very secretly somewhere. The Night King suddenly withdrew his gaze and stared sharply into the depths of the Thern Mountains, the source of the 'gaze' that could sense his presence came from the west of the Thern Mountains.

There are aliens, maybe dozens of miles away, maybe hundreds of miles away, secretly observing him, if not aliens, then it is the Green Prophet.

Able to possess all kinds of birds and beasts, and observe the Night King's human race without a shadow with the eyes of birds and beasts, they are either gifted aliens or wizards of the children of the forest: the Green Prophet.

The Night King threatened some mysterious power deep in the Thern Mountains, and the feeling of peeping at him disappeared instantly. The Night King froze, and began to search for anomalies around him. That sentient force could only lock on to him with the help of the eyes of some nearby being. Finally, he saw a three-eyed crow crouching on a ruined wall. There is a military fortress built by the ancestors and savages thousands of years ago on the Ancestor Fist Peak, and now the fortress has almost collapsed, leaving only broken walls.

With a whoosh, the three-eyed crow flapped its wings and flew away, quickly rising high and soaring into the sky...... The Night King's ice-blue eyes were fixed on the three-eyed crow until the raven turned into a small black dot and finally disappeared completely.

............

The sea area of Cape Stoud.

"Lord Davos, did you foresee a strange ghost lurking in the snow on the shore?" said Temple of the Night Watch, the centurion.

"I can't foresee anything unknown, Temple, I just think of the stranger as the real enemy. If this is an operation, the target of our route out of the port cannot be detected by the enemy. Even if the enemy knew of our intentions, they would not be able to predict our path and the time of our arrival. “

"I see, if we go north along the coast, I am afraid that no one will be able to escape by now. Said the Night Watch brothers.

The soldiers looked at the ghouls and strangers on the shore, and everyone was in a state of trepidation. On those seven ships, there were also strangers and ghouls.

"My lord, if Fort Hardship falls, I'm afraid Commander Carter and the Hound will already be more than lucky. ”

"As long as Fort Tough falls, we will not be able to get near the coast, nor will we be able to approach the seven ships. Davos Seaworth's face was cold and hard, and his eyes were frosty.

He was so cautious because of Melisandre, the Red God Master. Melisandre has unpredictable and mysterious powers, Davos has seen with his own eyes, but that power needs to be catalyzed by royal blood, and Melisandre, who has lost her royal bloodline, can only see prophecies in the flames, and the superhuman power and magic are not outstanding.

A scarlet wizard has an irresistible mystical magical power, and Davos Seaworth does not dare to slack off on the magical creatures from the land of eternal winter, believing that the king of the strangers should also have unknown magical powers, such as the prophetic powers similar to Melisandre.

Anyone who underestimates wizards and the ghostly Night King is not a wise person.

In the past few months of fighting, the night watch and the northern alliance have won more and lost less, the morale of the warriors is high, and most people do not take the stranger seriously, but Davos Seaworth is never optimistic, deep down, he always believes that the stranger Night King is planning something terrible.

Davos, who had witnessed Melisandre's mystical powers, had always believed that the Night King of the Stranger also possessed some kind of magical power. Prophecy, perception, dark magic, the Nightlord of the Strange Spirits must also have it, Davos is convinced of it!

Davos's raven flew over Fort Hardship, and the raven saw the castle crowded with ghouls, with ice-blue eyes and black faces. Ravens are birds of some intelligence, and in the school city, the white ravens are also taught to speak human language and have simple conversations with their masters.

The ghouls of the castle made the ravens rattle, and the ghouls all over the city were the Dead Night's Watch, the Freedmen, the Northlanders, and a small number of Shireen scouts, and none of the ghouls were alarmed by the raven's screams, and they stood dumbfounded, like ice sculptures.

Several strangers looked up at the raven, who did not dare to fly low, but raised and flew back with a scream.

Soon, the raven flew back, and the parchment roll it was carrying was untouched.

The raven kept screaming in Davos's hand, and kept jumping from Davos's hand to his arm, from his arm to his shoulder, jumping on his head, pecking Davos's face, the back of his hand and other skin, and kept screaming at everyone, as if to express something, which seemed very abnormal.

Everyone could see that the raven was frightened.

"Fort Tough has fallen. Davos Seaworth's cold color became grim, "The city is full of dead people, ghouls, and there are no more human beings. ”

"Where's Commander Carter?" Temple couldn't believe.

"They...... It may have been wiped out. Davos spoke in a heavy tone.

The entire fleet, nearly two hundred warriors, was silent, their hands pressed on the hilt of their swords, but no one proposed to go ashore to fight.

"Sir Steele's ships arrived before us, and they must have been ambushed by the Wraiths on the shore. Davos Seaworth's deep voice, "Brothers, we're a little late, and the last thing we see may be the battlefield cleaned up after the slaughter of Sir Steele." I hope that you brothers will understand that the wraiths have the same intelligence as us humans, and that they may well have set up a trap to besiege the city and send reinforcements. ”

"The wisdom of the wraiths also knows military strategy?" muttered a night watchman.

"The fact that the scouts of the Shadow Tower are in the far west, but can be driven to the easternmost Fort of Hardship, makes me suspicious and unreasonable, unless it is intentional by the strangers. It's just that it is impossible for the strange ghosts to use the Tough Fort to annihilate our main army, and the rescuers will only take the sea route, which is Donghai Wang. They wanted to kill all the main forces of Donghaiwang. Could it be that the next target of the strange ghost is Tokai Wang?"

There are a lot of doubts, and Davos can't figure it out. But because of his prudence, he saved nearly 200 lives.

The eyes of the Night's Watch brothers changed when they looked at Davos, the smuggling prime minister was not as embarrassed as people ridiculed, they despised Davos, laughed at him, humiliated him, but he did have great wisdom, and his analysis, although there were still many doubts, had convinced the Night's Watch brothers.

Sir Steele disobeyed Prime Minister Onion's orders, and as a result, he and his brothers were all killed, and not even one of his brothers who burned him was left.

It is the wish of the men of the Night's Watch and all the other warriors to burn it after they die in battle.

They would rather be burned to ashes than become ghouls driven by strange spirits.

The sun shone on the brothers, but no one felt warm, and the sun was as cold as ice, shining on the face like a knife stabbing in the face.

After a while, Davos released all three ravens, one flying back to the East China Sea to warn them, one to Castle Black, and one to the Shadow Tower.

These are the eastern, western, and central defensive points of the Great Wall! Davos immediately ordered to return, he was worried that the strange ghosts would take the opportunity to attack Donghaiwang.

Donghaiwang's fleet and warriors came out together, and there were less than a hundred soldiers left behind in Donghaiwang, and half of them were affairs officers, not trained soldiers.

If Count Gavin Westerling hadn't stayed behind to help Eddard Stark, Donghai Wang would have been in danger. If Donghaiwang falls and the Great Wall of Desperation is lost, the entire Seven Kingdoms will be within the attack range of the strange ghosts.

"Brothers, hoist the sails and head south along the coastline, we can go back as fast as possible, I fear that this is a trap for the strange spirits, luring out the fleet of Donghaiwang, and then take the opportunity to attack Donghaiwang. Davos shouted.

When the brothers heard this, they didn't change color.

Therefore, the lowered sails are raised together, the drums on the battleship are beaten, and the oarsmen's rowing movements must be uniform and neat, so that the ship can move rapidly.

The drums beat intensively, the brothers rowed hard, and the battleship quickly turned south in the sea, as fast as the wind.

On the shore, several strange ghosts watched the large warship leave, their ice-blue eyes flashing brightly, and they looked at each other, with regret in their eyes. The purpose of this plan is to obtain the warships of the Terrans, and they need warships to transport a large number of ghouls through the sea to cross the Great Wall of Desperation, and then take the Donghaiwang military fortress, and then use Donghaiwang as a base to start attacking the Black Castle.

Several aliens walked together and communicated with each other in peculiar syllables, people have human voices, birds have bird language, ants have their own language of the same kind, and strange ghosts are no exception, they are intelligent creatures, and have their own forms of language communication.

This tough castle plan was a strategy planned by the Night King, but it was only half successful. Due to the prudence and ingenuity of the Terrans, the Night King's strategy based on his prophetic powers was not entirely successful.

This is where the Terrans are terrible, and it is also the taboo of the Night King, and it is also a reason why their king has been slow to launch a large-scale attack.

The wisdom of the human race makes it possible for the scene that the Night King sees in the prophecy to be changed by some kind of opportunity, so that the outcome of the prophecy becomes uncertain, or even completely changed.

Perhaps the will of God and the wisdom of man have their own power, which brings some uncertainty to the outcome of the matter.

Looking at the East China Sea, the wind and waves are calm.

The strange ghost did not take advantage of the emptiness of the East Sea to look at the defenders to attack.

Davos Seaworth's fears were justified, but he failed to guess the Wraith's intentions. The purpose of the strange ghost is to get a boat and take the waterway to cross the desperate Great Wall. But, in the minds of Davos and all of them, the Stranger is not wading in water. Ghouls are dead and cannot steer ships.

And this is another fatal mistake made by the Terrans.

And in war, the price of mistakes is blood and lives.

A few days ago, after Jon Snow received a letter from his father Eddard Stark at Castle Black, he immediately set out for the East Sea with 300 cavalry, 50 horses, and 700 infantry.

The cavalry and infantry are all mixed legions of the Northern Army, the Night Watch, the Free People, and the Shiren Army, which has created a miracle in Westeros: the Night Watch and the Free People are mortal enemies, while the Northern Army and the Shireen Army belong to different countries, they are loyal to different kings, and the Shireen have been trying to convince the North people to submit, and the North people must be independent, and the relationship between the two sides is not as harmonious as it seems.

The Guardian Alliance of the Great Wall of Desperation is a team that can break out into melee at any time, but because of Jon Snow, who is trusted by the Free People, Eddard Stark, who is respected by the Shirins, Melisandre who takes fighting the Stranger as his life goal, and Prime Minister Davos Seaworth, who focuses on the overall situation, such a team that combines the Night's Watch, the Freedmen, the Northerners, and the Shirin's Army finally merged together in a strange way and was twisted into a force that shared the same hatred.

But this force is facing an even more powerful evil force, the strange ghosts with the ability to steer ships and wade through the water, and will use the only seven small ships to sneak attack the East China Sea through Seal Bay......

And Prime Minister Jon Snow, Eddard Stark, Gavin Westerling, and Davos Seaworth, who were looking at the East Sea, knew nothing about this and were unalert......

However, a letter from the clerk in charge of buying iron ore attracted Jon and Eddard's attention, and the clerk stated that the Governor of the Iron Islands, Earl Gubler, no longer sold iron ore to the Night's Watch, and they only accepted bank notes issued by the Clegane Bank, and no longer accepted gold dragons, silver deer, and bronze stars.
