After informing the Tully family of the news of the stranger's southward journey, and seeing the survivors of the Mormont family, Blackfish Brinton and others, Jon did not continue to run through the river with the Dothraki cavalry, and returned directly to the largest castle in Westlot.

The Wraiths and Ghouls march fast.

Before the Tully family could send a message to the princes of the Riverlands, the Mellister family sent ravens to bring the news that the city of Haijiang had been captured by the army of the dead.

By the time Harrenhal, in the middle of the Riverlands, received Riverrun ravens, Jon, Jaime, Tyrion, Malwyn, Varys, and others could already see tens of thousands of dead on the walls.

Jon frowned, "It's going to be a tough fight. ”

Hearing this, Jaime took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "But I believe we can survive." ”

Tyrion looked at Dr. Malwyn, who had mastered the power of magic, but the new Dragon Scholar shook his head slightly, not too sure that he could use spells to destroy tens of thousands of ghouls.

"Have we all lit the torches?" thought about it, and Jon had to decide on his supplies again.

Tyrion frowned, "It's all on fire, and we've used up our two-week reserves of oil and firewood, and after this battle, we're going to collect supplies again." ”

"Don't be too optimistic. Jon didn't want to demoralize, but was more afraid that Tyrion, Jaime, Dr. Malwyn and others would underestimate the horror of the ghouls, "Remember, we don't have dragon crystal weapons, we can't kill them with normal weapons, we must burn them with fire." ”

"Don't worry, these are very good fighters. Jaime glanced around at the Dothraki and Unsullied soldiers.

From the time the ghouls were spotted to the time they attacked, it took only half an hour for tens of thousands of resurrected dead to flood into the walls of Harrenhal.

Encounters with ghouls outside the Plug.

Each time, it was the sacrifice of the broken troops, allowing them to block the pace of the dead with their lives.

But now that there were walls, Jon didn't have much confidence.

They had no engineering equipment, some were just crazy offensives, waving all kinds of weapons and rushing under the city walls, squeezing one by one, and climbing up the city wall like arhats.

Falling rocks, sassal wood.

The tools that could be used to defend the city were all smashed at the ghouls who tried to climb the walls.

Scimitar slashes, spear thrusts, and torches are used as swords, stabbing flames towards the approaching dead and igniting them.

After a while, the smell of barbecue spread throughout Harrenhal.

The Dothraki from Essos are wild and violent, with a strong physique, and the Unsullied soldiers are disciplined, but they can't kill against scimitar spears, don't get tired and fearful, and ignore their injuries, and gradually fall into disadvantage over time.

"Dr. Malwyn, we need your spell!"

Seeing that his side was in decline, and knowing how bad the situation would be for the ghouls to kill the walls, Jon immediately asked the master of magic to intervene.

The magician Malvin shook his head: "I have limited mana, so I will cast a spell now, what if there is an accident next?"

Jon: "But you see that those ghouls can't be killed, and if they make it up to the walls, the Unsullied and the Dothraki warriors won't be able to withstand it." ”

Without entering the Three Mountains City, Aishara and Moroya said, "Let's help." ”

As the two women's voices fell, the elements suddenly condensed, and the flames bloomed out of thin air, and the hunting crimson instantly burned the dense ghouls under the city walls.

However.

Their magic is completely ineffective against the strangers covered in ice armor and holding ice crystal blades.

Seeing the appearance of the magical creature that manipulated the dead and mastered ice magic, Jon's face suddenly changed: "Oh no. ”

......

The wind and snow are shaking, and the cold is biting in the north.

The Unsullied and the Dothraki warriors, as well as the Dorne spearmen, had left White Harbor by this time.

Commanded by Daenerys, Varian and others, he joined the coalition forces that had left Winterfell and had reached Neck.

The forces were replenished, the legendary magic item Winter's Horn was obtained, and the rock giants weighing up to 30 meters and weighing 1,000 tons were controlled, plus two giant dragons and many transcendents, the Seven Gods, the Old Gods, and the Red Gods all watched the world.

Robert, Ryan, Varian, Daenerys, they all think that if they find the stranger, victory is within reach!

Inexplicable self-confidence in everyone.

Arthur did not strike, because this was in line with strategic contempt and tactical attention.

Joining forces with the forces of Dorne, the Unsullied, and the Dothraki, they were joined by a coalition of Northerners, Riverlanders, Arrynvales, Riverlanders, Stormlords, Imperial Lords, and Freedmen outside the Cypriots, and the ranks were inexplicably bloated.

Moreover, many forces are crowded together, and friction and contradictions occur every day.

As one of the heads of management logistics, Arthur receives daily reports of people stealing food supplies.

Emperor Robert didn't do anything, Daenerys was in charge of the Unsullied and Dothraki, Robb was in charge of the Northern Army, and Varian temporarily took over the Riverlands Army, as the Vale nobles were lost in the East Sea, and Sir Barristan took command in their place, Stannis was in charge of the Stormlord and the Imperial Lord, the Free Folk were managed by their leader, and Ryan was the nominal commander-in-chief.

With the exception of the Unsullied, Dothraki, and Freedmen, the Coalition soldiers were the private soldiers of the nobility, and the Coalition command system was very chaotic due to the large number of factions.

Gawain, Lancelot, Ranmarok: They often catch soldiers who steal.

But what to do with the thieves was a headache for Arthur.

Big nobles like Robb Stark, because they are in power, will not complain about how to punish or kill the offending soldiers under their command, but those minor nobles, unruly free people and Dothraki people, a careless handling will cause big trouble.

Even as Daenerys, Tomund, Jingle Shirt, and others tried their best to restrain the Dothraki and the Freedfolk to no avail, the troublemakers continued to appear one after another.

"It can't go on like this. ”

"If the freedmen and the Dothraki continue to fight, we won't have to fight the ghosts, just because of the infighting!"

Because the affairs of the coalition army were not handled well, he was called by his eldest son to attend the meeting, and the fat emperor, who heard Barristan's report, had a calm face and was very unhappy: "Ryan, if you don't handle these things well, don't be the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, go and be a small soldier!"

Ryan frowned: "Father, the freedmen and Dothraki are restrained, in fact, they don't make much trouble, and the people who really stir up trouble are the people of the North, the people of the Riverlands, and the people of the Arryn Valley......"

The Dragon Queen said mercilessly, "All Westeros are rejecting the Free Folk and the Dothraki warriors. ”

"Repulsion?"

The problem of discrimination has existed since ancient times.

Hearing this, Robert didn't have any good solutions, in fact, there were all kinds of contradictions in places such as the Great Wall of Desperation, the coalition camp and Houguan Town.

But there was an imminent crisis at that time, and the strangers and ghouls were in the city, and there was no time to make trouble for them.

Now the march to the south may be too comfortable, coupled with the cold weather, so that the soldiers drink to keep warm, and there is no threat of foreign enemies, and the buried contradictions between each other will blow up at a moment.

Barristan suggested, "Your Highness, let the coalition forces go separately. ”

This is not the first time that the old captain of the Royal Guard has made a suggestion, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Ryan has too many concerns: "But... Who goes ahead, and if we encounter an army of strangers and the dead, how can we ensure that the whole army responds in time?"

"Your Majesty, let's go ahead of the North. ”

Thinking of the death of his parents and younger brother, Robb was the first to stand up,

Without waiting for Robert to object, Ryan shook his head and said, "No, there are too few soldiers in the northern army. ”

Stannis: "Then let the forces of Stormlands and the Imperial Realm go ahead." ”

"But my lord... We... I am afraid that I am not able to take on such a heavy responsibility. Hearing the words of the temporary commanders of the two armies, the deputy commander of the imperial command hurriedly stood up.

When Robert heard this, he immediately snorted coldly: "I won't let you be disappointed to bear this heavy responsibility!"

"Then let the Unsullied and the Dothraki cavalry lead the way. Daenerys muttered, "But I have one request, and that is to have Arthur assist us. ”

Hearing this, Robert exchanged glances with Ryan, Varian, Barristan, Stannis, Robb, Randolph and others, and when they saw that no one objected, they reluctantly nodded.

"Yes. ”

Receiving a satisfactory answer from everyone, Daenerys immediately said to the young man who was acting as a background board, "Arthur come with me." ”

"Now?"

The resolute Dragon Queen nodded, "Yes, we'll leave now." ”

In this way, the Dothraki cavalry and the Unsullied began to be called up, and they would be at the forefront of the coalition forces, as the vanguard to clear the way for the large army.

But in the room, everyone also needs to discuss where the freedmen are placed.

As the leaders of the Free People, Tormund, Jingle Shirt and others did not want to mix with the noble soldiers anymore, nor did they want to hide in the rear as bastards, so they offered to walk behind the Unsullied Legion and the Dothraki cavalry.

Soon.

After the disposition of the troops was negotiated, the coalition forces were divided into five parts and moved south.

With the Dothraki cavalry and the Unsullied Legion in front and the Free Folk in the closer, the Dorne coalition and the logistical baggage bureau were divided into two groups on both flanks.

The soldiers were restrained again, and the disturbance suddenly dissipated without a trace.

Time is in a hurry.

The army accelerated southward, and it didn't take long for Robert, Ryan, Varian, and the others to see the mouth of the river they had left as they headed north.

Twin River City, appeared in front of everyone.

The once prosperous estuary of the river is now left with only two lonely castles on both sides of the river, not a single person to say, and there is no figure on the long bridge.

On the back of a dragon on Zogon.

Arthur and Daenerys, who rode together, frowned, feeling that the gate was closed, and the bridge fort that was blocked at the entrance to the city wall seemed to have become a dead place without the slightest human voice, and the people inside might be slaughtered by strangers and ghouls.

"Anyway, we're going to go down and have a look. ”

The army marched south through the neck without a moment's rest, although the food and supplies were sufficient, but in such a cold and snowy place, the soldiers could not sleep in the open all the time.

The huge black dragon landed on the long bridge, Arthur did not let the dragon queen come down, and he blessed the holy light with the courage of the artist, so he went to the bridgehead alone to inquire about the situation, and then found that not only all the passages of the castle were blocked, but even the windows were all sealed.

This means that the people inside are all hiding, and they don't fight the strangers and ghouls head-on!

"Is anyone still alive?"

Arthur immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "I am Arthur Holy Laurain, the coalition is going south, and your reinforcements are coming!"

...... To be continued......
