In the snowy ice and snow of the march, Stannis finally led his army to see the city of Severn, and the scouts who explored the way also discovered the army of ghouls heading north!

The only good news for him was that the troops could be stationed and could defend the city without having to fight the ghouls in the wilderness while starving and colding.

But there is also a lot of bad news, the city of Severn is too small. The army is crowded, the tired soldiers do not have any chance to rest, the logistics and the food in the city of Severn are not much, they cannot hold it for a long time, the emperor and the captain of the Royal Guards have not woken up yet, etc......

However, as a famous commander of Westeros, who had withstood the siege of Storm's End by the Tyrells under extremely difficult conditions, Stannis was good at fighting such defensive battles.

"Where's the army of ghouls?"

Tens of thousands of resurrected dead were found before entering the city, and Stannis sent scouts to investigate the enemy.

However, only one of the ten groups of scouts who went out returned: "The ghouls have bypassed us. After saying the last news he found, he lost blood from an arrow wound and died.

Hearing this, Stannis's face changed drastically.

They had traveled all the way from the Wall, without support to Winterfell, and were now stationed in the city of Severn, intending to serve as a barrier to the south of the Wall.

Unexpectedly, the ghouls did not choose to attack and pull out their nail, but chose to take a detour and go directly north!

Onion Knight Davos: "Oh no, my lord, the ghouls can bypass Severn City, or they can bypass the last Hearthplace City, and attack Castle Black and the Great Wall directly!"

"I know. ”

Stannis knew this well, but without the castle to defend it, they couldn't hold back the tens of thousands of ghouls.

"Then send out scouts to find out the exact number of the ghoul army, so that the soldiers can eat, drink, and rest. ”

Davos already understood that the Prince of Dragonstone was going to lead his army to attack, so he nodded and went to busily direct the soldiers to take turns eating and resting.

Stannis's mission to leave the Wall was to keep the Night King and the army of ghouls at bay and avoid enemies on both sides of the Wall.

There weren't enough transcendents, and he knew very well that an attack could lead to the annihilation of his entire army.

But for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of Westeros, even if all the soldiers are sacrificed, it is necessary to block the army of the Night King and the ghouls from going north!

Knowing that Davos was taking turns eating and resting his soldiers, and sending scouts to continue scouting the number of ghouls, Melisandre immediately sought out the Prince of Dragonstone.

"My lord, you're going to stop the ghouls?"

Stannis rightly said, "That's why I'm going south." ”

"It's hard for an ordinary soldier to defeat so many ghouls, and with the King of the Strangers in charge, it's impossible to stop them by taking the initiative, and it will turn all soldiers into ghouls. Melisandre said.

Stannis said firmly: "I know this, but I must block them no matter what, if you don't have any good ideas, just leave first, I want to be alone." ”

The red-robed woman groaned when she heard this, and said, "I have an idea, which is the method you told the adults before. ”

Prince Dragonstone's face suddenly became gloomy: "Sacrifice?"

The priestess nodded: "Only by praying to the Lord of Light for divine power can we defeat the Night King and the army of ghouls." ”

Stannis looked at her coldly and asked, "Sacrifice whom?

"It's in your blood. "I can already see from the visions in the flames that Shireen is riding a dragon to the city of Severn. ”

......

The dragon flying in the air.

Daenerys wanted to avoid the army of ghouls completely out of caution, so instead of heading to the nearby city of Severn, she flew straight for a distance and landed in the Castle of Horrors, which everyone had managed to find.

The Bolton father and son, who were traitors to the North, were killed.

The other side branches of the Bolton family were also retaliated against, and the Bunton family was left without members of the Bolton family in the Horror Castle at this time.

Because of the arrival of winter, the strangers launched a war to attack the Great Wall, and Duke Ed was ready to deal with the problem of the Horror Fortress after the end of the war and the winter, so there was no food here, all the residents were evacuated, and the entire castle was abandoned.

Drogen's and Regor's landing.

With no food, clothing, or medicine to be found, Daenerys and the others rested at the castle for a while before deciding to return to Severn.

Because an army of ghouls could attack there.

Having lost Winterfell, Arthur is in a coma, and Daenerys, as the person with the highest status, has made a deliberate decision that Ambrosius, Annie, Gawain, Sansa and others will not object.

It didn't take long.

Like Melisandre's visions in the flames, the crowd rode dragons to the city of Severn.

Know that they will come.

Melisandre heard the soldier's report and immediately went up to the wall and waited.

Dragonstone's tens of thousands of troops settled in the city and packed it to the brim, making it impossible for the two larger dragons to land in the city, so Daenerys left Drogon and Rego in front of the city gates, and then left the two dragons to take care of themselves.

"Lord Eddard!"

Soldiers and the Severn family came out to greet them, and Stannis immediately grieved Sansa and Arya, as well as the dead Duke and Duchess Stark, and Arthur who was unconscious.

Ambrosius sighed, "I'm sorry my lord, but we did our best in the battle of Winterfell. ”

"I know you've done your best. Stannis looked gloomy, took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to attack to intercept the army of ghouls heading north, do you want to join us?"

Hearing this, Daenerys immediately frowned: "No, it's too risky to fight the ghouls in the wild, without the help of fortifications, ordinary soldiers can't defeat so many resurrected dead, and they are still commanded by the Night King." ”

Stannis said, "I know it's risky to take the initiative, but the army of ghouls will bypass the city of Severn and continue north, and if we don't stop them, the Great Wall will be attacked from both sides, and we have no other way." ”

Daenerys frowned, "But we're not in a good state right now..."

"I know it wasn't easy for you to escape from Winterfell. Stannis said, "I'll be given the task of stopping the ghouls, and you guys will rest as soon as possible." ”

Daenerys has no other way, whether it is her, Ambrosius, Gawain, Annie and others, or the black dragon and the bronze dragon are very tired, and going to the battlefield in such a state is to seek death.

Before the Night King attacked Bear Island, the army of ghouls who bypassed the ice wall from Icy Bay split into two paths, the other into the Frost Fang Mountains.

Instead of flanking the Grand Canyon's army of ghouls, the Shadow Tower, and the Sentinel Tower, they slaughtered all the creatures in the mountains unhurriedly and marched towards the Night's Watch land!

When Stannis led the soldiers who arrived in Severn City to pursue the army of tens of thousands of ghouls commanded by the Night King, trying to intercept them all. After crossing the Cold Ice Bay, the first ghost general to divide his troops with the Night King has entered the Night's Watch land with tens of thousands of ghouls, and is about to kill Houguan Town!

Shireen was brought back.

Stannis didn't see it, but Melisandre volunteered to let the soldiers take the girl.

Knowing that the red-robed girl wanted to burn Shireen to death for sacrifice, Daenerys wanted to stop it, but Shireen's mother, Celis Florent, insisted on doing so, and she couldn't stop it as an outsider.

Moreover, after a night of fighting, the dragon queen was physically and mentally exhausted, and she really didn't have any mind to meddle.

As the commander-in-chief of the whole army.

Stannis, who is a man of great military talent, will not act recklessly.

There is no direct pursuit to intercept the army of ghouls.

Of course, this is also because the resurrected dead will not be tired and will not feel cold in the ice and snow, so the marching speed is very fast, and ordinary soldiers forming an army cannot catch up at all.

"Are you sure to sacrifice to the Lord of Light and we will destroy the Night King?"

In the icy wilderness, the commander of the Dragonstone army on horseback and snowy found his priestess advisor, Stannis and her broke away from the army, looked at the marching army and asked.

Melisandre: "The Lord of Light won't lie to us. ”

"The Lord of Light will solve everything?"

"Yes!"

Stannis closed his eyes in anguish and said in a deep voice, "Then you can get started." ”

Hearing this, the red-robed woman nodded, and waved to the believers who were standing quietly more than ten meters away, asking them to take Princess Shireen to the fire that had been built.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? Let me go! I'm Princess Shireen! Daughter of Stannis, Prince of Dragonstone! Hurry up and let me go! Father, where are you? Mother, come and save me!"

The soldiers, fanatical believers in the Lord of Light, ignored the girl who was caught, let her scream, and remained mercilessly tied to the wooden pillar of the fire.

There has already been an experience of almost being burned to death.

Shireen was tied to a firewood pile full of the smell of fire oil, and immediately knew what was going to happen, and she didn't want to die yet, so she immediately screamed at the top of her throat.

"Let go of me!Father, Mother, help me!"

The fire was set up outside the city of Severn, behind the marching Dragonstone army, and Davos, as Stannis's deputy, was busy directing the soldiers to hurry, not knowing what was going on behind him.

The logistics soldiers with their baggage heard the hissing cry for help, but they didn't dare to take a second look because of the order of the superior not to meddle in affairs, and the ruthlessness of the Red God believers.

But there was one man who saw Melisandre walking to the fire with the girl tied to it with a torch, and immediately drew his sword angrily.

She just wants to find an opportunity to avenge the monarch Lan Li, who was once loyal to Brienne!

"Let her go!"

Surrounded by fanatics who believed in the Lord of Light, a tall female knight suddenly rushed towards her on horseback with a sword, and the fanatics drew their swords and raised their spears to meet them.

Melisandre glanced at Brienne who suddenly appeared, ignored it, threw the torch on the fire, and set the flame on fire to the bound girl.

"Damn, you lunatics!"

After fighting all night, Brienne's body was actually very tired.

But as a true knight who keeps her promise and possesses virtue, she cannot sit idly by and watch innocent, young girls being burned to death by the evil priestess.

When he arrived in Severn City, he didn't even eat, and he told Arya that he wanted to fulfill the vow he had made, so he quietly left the city.

Tired, hungry body.

Because of all the desire to save people before the outbreak, Brienne awakens to be extraordinary!

The Red God cult fanatics who tried to stop her were instantly knocked down by most of them, roaring angrily and showing unstoppable strength.

However.

Poor Princess Shireen screamed in pain from the flames, and even if Brienne had the power to defeat all the fanatics who stood in her way, she rushed to the fire without extinguishing the fire, but there was no way to save anyone.

Melisandre, who had cast blood magic with open hands and offered to the Lord of Light, began to recite prayers as if nothing had happened, praying for the Lord of Light to grant him divine powers, ignoring what was happening around her.

"Damn, what are you doing?"

Enraged, Brienne has already dealt a deadly hand to the fanatics who stopped her, and the Oath Sword unleashes a series of phantom lights, sending bright red blood flying through the snow.
