Chapter 241: The Situation Changes Suddenly (Ask for Subscription~!!)
When Arthur and Daenerys are in the Tower of Babel, they negotiate with the Hightower family about transporting food to King's Landing, helping to settle refugees, manage and rebuild.
The snowy north.
Dark clouds obscured the sun, shrouding the day and night in a haze, and the bitter north wind raged and froze with the frost.
There was no daylight, the vegetation was dry, and the woods that were once lush with foliage were now only twisted trunks and branches, and they were terrible in the wind and snow.
On the majestic Great Wall that guards the northern border of Westeros, the patrolling soldiers walk in the clouds every day, as if they are in the heavenly palace.
But in this way, there is no beautiful scenery to see, but it is so cold that they have been away from the fire for a long time, and they are directly frozen to the face of frost, and they completely lose their body temperature alive.
Winter is just around the corner, and House Stark's motto has been warning the world to be prepared for winter.
The night was dark and sinister, and the priests of the church at Lahlo warned the people that sin would grow unconsciously in the cold and unfettered winter.
The Strange Spirits have not appeared for thousands of years.
If we don't understand them, we can't use ordinary people's thinking and common sense to speculate!
The Great Wall of Desperation served as a barrier to Westeros, amassing an army of more than 300,000 dead outside the fortress, and all Westeros felt that the strangers could only break through the ice wall to go south.
As cold air sweeps across the land of Westeros, winter arrives in full.
The snow fell on the royal realm, in the river bend, and in the stormy land.
Jaime Lannister, who was walking aimlessly on horseback, had a vague sense that the Great Wall of the North was about to go to war with the strangers.
Losing his right hand, the monarch killer who has gone from a brave general to a commander feels right.
The Stranger is indeed in action!
But instead of commanding the resurrected army of the dead to attack the heavily guarded Great Wall, they are leading the ghoul army to make a detour!
There are more than 300,000 ghouls, and they have completely attracted the attention of all humans, so that they continue to strengthen the defenses of the ice wall, hoping to use the Great Wall and the night watchman's castle to defend against these enemies of the living.
However.
Emperor Robert, Prime Minister Eddard, Prince Stannis, Prince Ryan and Arthur have long been seen through by the Night King!
Don't forget, the Wraiths are intelligent creatures!
They think!
Know how to fight!
The army of ghouls placed outside the Great Wall is the army that the Night King specially uses to contain the main force of the human race!
It and the Strange Generals each led thousands of resurrected dead.
Attack in two detours, east and west!
The cold swept southward, and at this time, due to the dimension in the north, the sea surface began to freeze in many places near the sea!
Maybe you can't go far on the frozen sea.
But in the shallows of the inshore where the Trembling Sea freezes to the east, it is definitely for the dead to march!
And in the west of Cold Ice Bay, although the frozen coast is opposite Bear Island, but across the sea, there is absolutely no boat that cannot pass.
The terrain of the Grand Canyon is difficult to cross, and with the West Bridge Lookout, Shadow Tower, and Sentinel Tower guarding it, it is not easy for the strange ghost to lead the ghouls to force the march through.
But it's freezing in the Frozen Bay!
Without having to go through the Grand Canyon, the Night King, who travels with a blizzard, accelerates the freezing of the seas off the coast and can lead thousands of dead troops around the western ice wall and the defenses of the Night's Watch's castle!
You say that the offshore area here is a mountainous terrain, full of cliffs and few shoals?
It doesn't matter, the ghouls are all dead, just make sure that the frozen sea is hard enough for the resurrected dead to jump off the cliff!
There is no fatigue, no fear, and if you can ignore the currents and undercurrents of the sea, you will have no problem even marching on the bottom of the sea without breathing!
Here they are!
It's not about attacking the Great Wall!
Instead, take a detour to the frozen waters of Ice Bay and Seal Bay on either side of the ice wall!
There have been reminders from Arthur.
Although Varian didn't think that the Wraiths could lead an army of the dead across the frozen sea, he gathered his men from time to time to break the ice.
In addition to preventing the arrival of strange spirits from the sea, this is also to ensure that their warships can sail.
The shivering soldiers did not let up, and still forbade patrols on the castle, the Great Wall, and the docks. On the ships moored at the dock, naval sailors also took shifts on the decks of the battleships on which they served.
The sky was full of wind and snow, and the visibility of the soldiers was extremely low.
Feel the wind whiner and the snow harder!
The sailors, who were so fed up with the cold, hurriedly ran back to the cabin to keep warm, and the soldiers patrolling the Great Wall, the castle, and the docks also took refuge in the nearest huts.
The warm flame made them want to hug closer.
In the whistling wind, the soldiers on this side of the dock faintly heard the sound of fast, rapid and dense footsteps.
Puzzled, he walked out of the hut, blown by the cold wind, and looked in the direction of the faint footsteps.
Soon.
The soldiers who were looking heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer.
When he saw the strange ghost with the ice crystal blade in his hand, riding a rotting dead horse, and with tall blue eyes, he didn't even have a chance to scream in terror, and the ice magic weapon that froze the steel pierced through the flesh and blood!
Seeing this, the soldiers in the house panicked and shouted, "It's a strange ghost!"
"The strange ghost is coming!"
"Bell~"
The alarm bell in the hut was sounded.
But in the face of such powerful magical creatures as aliens, without powerful extraordinary powers, ordinary people will not be their enemies!
Picking up the dragon crystal weapon is just a futile and stubborn resistance.
The strange wrath swung its ice crystal blade and killed all the soldiers in the hut in three or two clicks. When it turned away without a trace of emotion, the dead soldier slowly got back to his feet!
Death is coming, the Great War begins!
Hearing the alarm bells, the soldiers in the sentry huts around the docks came out to check.
And then.
The soldiers, who had been preparing for a long time to deal with the strangers and ghouls, finally officially fought!
Varian, who was looking at the castle in the East China Sea, was quickly informed by his subordinates, and drew his sword to gather the soldiers: "The strange spirits have attacked us, and in order to survive, we must defeat them!"
"Get ready for dragon crystal weapons, torches, and rockets!"
"Bachelor, immediately send a crow to send a message to Castle Black! Shapeshifter, immediately control the birds for me to check on the enemy!"
"If you see a familiar face of the dead being resurrected by a strange ghost to attack you, don't be merciful!"
"Donghai Wang must not be lost!"
"Follow me to destroy those strangers and bring them back to their deaths!"
Received the dragon's blood from Ryan in Winterfell.
After more than ten days, Varian obtained the dragon's blood that was not in liquid form, but was frozen into ice cubes, and he could not drink it, so he could only listen to the idea of his father Robert, who received the dragon's blood in Castle Black, and make the dragon's blood into blood sausage for lunch.
Maybe it's cooked.
Or it may have been left too long, or it could have been frozen.
After Varian ate the dragon's blood sausage, he didn't have the hot skin of Ryan and Arthur, and his skin was red and sweaty.
I just felt that my body was warm and comfortable, and then I went back to my room and slept beautifully, and I felt that my strength and physical fitness had increased when I exercised the next day.
After a period of hard work, Sir Barristan has taken time to teach.
He is getting stronger every day, and although he has not awakened his fighting spirit to become a transcendent, he feels that he already has the strength to kill strange ghosts!
