It didn't take long to receive a message from the raven that Bear Island was in distress.

Just as Winterfell sent ravens to warn the northern cities and inform the Great Wall, they received the bad news that the Wolf Forest Clan, including the Deep Forest Castle and the Forest Clan, the Trunk Clan, the Tree Branch Clan, and the Tree Clan, had all been attacked by strange spirits!

When Bran controlled the crows to fly over to check, everyone knew that the Deep Forest Castle and all the Wolf Forest Clans had not escaped the doom!

And the Night King is leading the army of the dead to approach Winterfell step by step!

Lady Caitlyn immediately gathered her soldiers to strengthen her defenses, while Bran commanded the Ravens to call for help from the Wall, telling her father Eddard the news of Winterfell.

Became a three-eyed crow.

But Bran is not Brynden Hewen, and he doesn't have as much combat experience as him to do everything.

Focusing on the battles in the eastern part of the East Sea Lookout and the Night's Watchman's land grant, he made the common-sense mistake of ignoring the situation in Frozen Bay and Bear Island.

The Night King led an army of the dead from the Wolf Forest.

He was always on the lookout.

Controlling the Ravens to fly to the Great Wall, the Night's Watch also sent a message to the Riverlands coalition led by Randolph Tully, who was close to the Whiteblade River, and flew further away to King's Landing to ask Daenerys for help.

After an overnight rush.

Arthur finally met with the emperor and prime minister, joined the fortifications with 10,000 men, and then put all the soldiers under the command of the two.

The young man took care of the logistics and was about to learn the military knowledge of cold weapon warfare, and see how the junior noble officers and middle-level nobles were in charge of the soldiers.

The resurrected army of the dead is pouring in from the direction of the East China Sea!

There were changelings as scouts, and before the ghouls arrived, everyone got the information, and they were not afraid of a surprise attack.

Before Castle Black's departure, Robert asked the blacksmith to forge a new hammer, but the hammer was not built quickly, and even if there were three blacksmiths in turn, it had not been done yet.

Therefore, Arthur could only take a large sword from Donner Noi and give it to the emperor for temporary use.

The great sword of one meter and six lengths, two palms wide, Robert danced vigorously, and was not afraid of the imminent attacking ghouls, the belligerent fat man.

"Give me arms and get ready for battle!"

"Powder kegs and powder jars need to be spared this time, because we're going to hold them back for at least two days, and then destroy them in one fell swoop when they're enough!"

"Remember, don't let a single draugr go, and don't let them break through the defenses!"

Listening to the words of the belligerent fat emperor, the warriors slapped their swords against their shields and held their spears high in response.

"Arthur, give us help!"

The grey sky makes it difficult to tell if it's noon or afternoon.

The wind and snow have become accustomed to it, and it is possible to see the dense figures in the fog and the sound of the snow being trampled on in a hurry.

With a shout from Robert, a pale golden light began to envelop the warriors who were concentrating on their preparations.

"Archer!"

"Shoot me the arrows!"

Visibility is low at no more than twenty meters, and the sight of a human figure indicates that they are approaching, and neither Robert nor Ed will skimp on the dragon crystal arrows in this situation.

Arrows rain down intensively.

The resurrected dead, covered in rotting flesh and skin, also rushed to the front of the line.

"The shield bearers in front of me are all on top of me!"

"Spearmen stab freely!"

The soldiers roared, shields to keep the mad ghouls at bay, and dragon crystal spears to send them back to the silence of death.

"Swordsmen have dragon crystal daggers ready, and any ghouls who break through their shields will be killed immediately!"

"Keep them all out of the line!"

The parapet wall made of snow and mixed with stones and pillars was no more than three meters high, but it was more than five meters wide, and thousands of ghouls could not knock down the snow wall at once.

It was such a simple line of defense, relying on the cooperation of soldiers with each other, and the human race had the upper hand.

However, Robert, Eddard, Arthur knew very well.

The prevailing situation is only temporary.

Don't forget, ghouls don't get tired, people do, they can go on a constant onslaught without eating, drinking, or sleeping.

And the soldiers need to rest, eat, and drink, and they can't stay on the line all the time.

So, 10,000 people had to take turns defending.

As the battle continues, Bran's controlled crow flies over and delivers the letter directly to his father, Ed.

"Oops!"

When he opened the letter, Ed's face changed drastically.

Giving command to the Great Jon beside him, let the shapeshifters who followed him control the crows to fly to Winterfell, and ran to find the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, we have bad news. ”

"What's the bad news?" Robert frowned as he took the letter, then his face sank, "Are you sure it's true?"

Ed said, "I've sent the shapeshifter to fly and check, and I'll be able to confirm the news soon." ”

Hearing this, Robert handed over the command to Barristan, pulled Ed aside, and asked in a deep voice, "If the Night King really breaks through Bear Island, Deepwood, and destroys the Wolf Forest Clan, do you want to go back to Winterfell?"

"Yes!" Ed replied resolutely, "I want to protect my family!"

"But you are needed here, too!"

After a moment of silence, the Grand Duke of the Northern Realm said resolutely: "Your Majesty, I have already made a trip to Essos for you, and this time I want to protect my family!"

"I see. Robert understood his nervous family feelings, nodded and agreed, "Then you take Arthur with you." ”

"No, His Highness Arthur should stay here to protect you. Ed shook his head.

"Ed, if Winterfell can't hold it, then Fireplace City will definitely not be able to hold it in the end, and when the Great Wall is attacked on both sides, what's the use of destroying tens of thousands of ghouls here?"

"I know, but Arthur is here, and if anything happens to Winterfell and finally Hearth, he can protect you from going to Essos. ”

Hearing this, Robert looked deeply at the friend who had grown up together, and then gave him a hard hug.

"Then you rush to Winterfell first, I'll destroy the ghouls here, and let Varian cut their ice passages to help you. ”

"Good. ”

Hearing this, Eddard nodded heavily, and immediately beckoned to Lady Maggie Mormont, Harrion Karstark, Clay Severn and others, telling them that the Night King had taken a detour to Frozen Cove and had captured Bear Island, Deepwood, and the Wolf Grove Clan.

"Then we must rush to King's Landing at once!"

As the heart of the North, King's Landing would be breached by the Night King's army of demons, losing the support of the rear and leaving the Wall of Desperation vulnerable on both sides.

"Gather the men we can take with us, and we'll rush back to King's Landing at once!"

On this side of the Great Wall.

After receiving the news from Bran, Ryan and Stannis both looked solemn.

The strange ghosts arranged more than 300,000 ghouls outside the fortress, and continuously sent an army of the dead to bypass the ice wall, and attacked the east sea and the west bridge respectively, not to mention the strange soldiers in the cold ice bay.

Once the Night King captures Winterfell and moves north, regardless of whether the Hearthh City can be defended or not, all the wildlings who have been given land will inevitably be killed, and the Night King will be converted into troops, leaving the Wall of Desperation vulnerable to enemies on both sides.

The Great Wall can hold off attacks from outside the Cypriots.

But the coalition camp outside Castle Black may not be able to withstand the onslaught of nearly 100,000 ghouls!

To stay at the Wall was to sit still, and Stannis immediately decided: "I'm going to send troops to support Winterfell!"

"Do you want to discuss it with your father?" Ryan knew that the emperor's choice was not wrong, but he wanted to leave himself in the center of the Great Wall to coordinate the overall situation, and he was a little uncertain in his heart, where could he go wrong.

Stannis knew that his nephew's confidence was a little lacking, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ryan, you have the ability to take charge on your own. ”

Ryan took a deep breath and nodded, "I will defend the Great Wall!"

"I'll take the army from Dragonstone. ”

Stannis directly gathered his vassals, brought Melisandre with him, and decided to take the Lord of Light with him, claiming to be the wife and daughter of a nun in the camp of Lahlo.
