Chapter 319, Landing in Mill
Hearing someone shouting outside, and it was a prince, Old Man August muttered for a moment, then asked people to quietly open the window to observe, and saw the dragon on the long bridge, and the familiar boy standing in front of the door, he immediately asked the soldiers to reopen the blocked gate.
"Your Highness, there are so many ghouls that I thought I would never see you again. β
Arthur shook his head with a frown and asked, "They don't seem to have attacked Twin Cities." β
Frederick, who came out of the bridgehead on the other side, said: "Yes, I got away with it. β
Having confronted the Stranger many times, Arthur knew that the Night King possessed extraordinary intelligence, great military talent, and was calculating: "Why didn't he attack Twin Cities?"
The gates, passages, and windows were all reopened, and the stench of the Twin Cities suddenly came out, and smelling the smell similar to King's Landing, Robert, Barristan, Ryan, Varian, Robb, Stannis, and others all entered the castle.
The coalition forces began to set up camp outside the city.
The Night King led his army south, but did not break through the castle at the mouth of the river, and even ignored it, and went directly west to Haijiang City.
Robert, Ryan, Varian, no matter what they think, they think there is a problem here.
"Then let's be cautious from now on. β
The group discusses the strategy and tactics of the Wraiths at the castle, and Arthur is outside the city, and Jorah and the Grey Worm help Daenerys manage the Dothraki and the Unsullied.
The barracks are not close to other forces.
The coalition forces were scattered, and Arthur was a little worried that the strangers would launch a surprise attack, after all, they were very cunning.
However.
While Arthur and the others were carefully preparing and resting in the Twin River Cities, the Night King had already swept across the Riverlands with an army of 30,000 dead and hit the Riverrun of the Tully family!
There had been a reminder from Jon.
With Blackfish Brinton's military talent, in the face of the frantic attack of the ghouls, he tried his best and did not defend until the next day, and was easily defeated by the powerful stranger.
As a last resort, the survivors had to escape by boat from the unfrozen river.
The castles in the western and central parts of the Riverlands were not spared, and even if they knew that the ghouls were coming, they all followed in the footsteps of Riverrun, and were easily defeated by the dead under the command of magical creatures.
The Night King's forces are growing like a snowball.
With spellcasters such as Marwin, Moroya, and Azara, Harrenhal can block the attack of tens of thousands of ghouls, but in the face of 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, and 50,000 resurrected dead, who can continue to increase their forces, they can only abandon the city and flee with a sense of powerlessness.
There are no war horses, and the Unsullied as infantry choose to break off, but they form a battle formation and can't stop the ghouls for a moment.
There are war horses, but in such a cold and snowy place, even if the Dothraki are good at riding, they can't outrun the resurrected ghouls who don't get tired.
If it weren't for the magic-wielding Malwyn, Moroa, Aesara, and others, Jon, James, Tyrion, and Varys would not have been able to escape even Harrenhal.
Thankfully, the King of the Strangers captured Harrenhal and headed for Lake God's Eye, ignoring the fish that escaped eastward.
The Thousand Faces Island in the Lake of God's Eye is the last sacred realm of the old gods.
It is also the last obstacle to the rise of the Cold God in Westeros!
Destroy all the fish beams on the island and kill the few remaining sons of the forest, and the wraiths will be able to run rampant on the continent.
As for Rahlo, the Lord of Light, the sworn enemy of the Supreme Cold God?
Light and fire were suppressed in the long night, and without a sufficient base of believers, the Red God would not be able to exert its power to compete with the Cold God!
Westeros, in the middle of winter, will become a ranch for the Wraiths!
Man is a lamb to the slaughter!
This side of the Twin Rivers.
No one realizes that the target of the strange ghost is Thousand Faces Island.
After encampment, the various units of the coalition army were only vigilant and vigilant, sending sporadic scouts to reinvent the surrounding situation, and did not specifically let the soldiers and shapeshifters go south or west.
The idea of riding a dragon to find out the situation himself was there, but the Night King's strength should not be underestimated, and Arthur was afraid of suddenly encountering it, and then being besieged by strange spirits because he was alone.
Who knows what other means the strangers have?
In short, there is no big mistake in being careful!
Before you know it, it's time to be at night when darkness completely envelops the heavens and the earth.
At this time, Lancelot hurriedly found the prince: "Your Highness, I suddenly have a very bad premonition!"
Looking at the sweaty knight, Arthur immediately understood that his hunch was not a joke.
"What kind of hunch?"
Ambrosius, who came with Lancelot, said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, it may have something to do with the Son of the Forest. β
Being reminded of this, Arthur also thought of the places he had been: "What do you mean... The Thousand Faces Island of the Divine Eye Lake?"
Lancelot: "It should be!"
The power of the old gods in this land is getting weaker and weaker, the heart tree outside the fortress is destroyed, the fish beam wood in Winterfell is withering, Arthur can't let Thousand Faces Island have another problem: "Then let's go over and take a look immediately!"
"What to see?" Daenerys was confused as she walked into the tent.
Arthur: "A Thousand Faces." β
Daenerys: "That island in the middle of God's Eye Lake with a lot of fish beams?"
"Yes, I suspect the Night King will attack Thousand Faces. Arthur said.
The silver-haired queen was a little puzzled, "Why do you think the Night King would attack Thousand Faces Island?"
Lancelot said: "Because there is a child of the forest living in seclusion on the island, my adoptive mother is the son of the forest, and she is on the island, I beg Her Majesty to allow Her Highness to go to Qianmian Island to find out the situation!"
Daenerys smiled, "It doesn't have to be this way, we can go together." β
This dragon queen has a noble bloodline, an extraordinary status, and a huge power, and can become the fiancΓ©e of the prince they are loyal to, Gawain, Lancelot, Ranmarok and others are actually very happy in their hearts.
After all, they have self-motivated young people, hoping that the prince who is loyal to them will go one step further and become a great monarch, and then their own status will also rise with the tide and achieve achievements to glorify their ancestors.
The dragon flies.
Facing the cold wind, it was not far from the Twin River City to the Divine Eye Lake.
The land was pitch black at night.
Drogen, who are in flight, do not know their destination, and the people on the dragon's back cannot see anything, so they need to control the altitude and let Arthur shine the holy light.
When they listened to the waves, the golden rays shone on the surface of the water and there was a faint light, and everyone found that the lake was swelling with terrible waves!
In the middle of the waves, there are a lot of ice cubes floating!
There are countless people in the water!
Seeing such a scene, everyone immediately understood that the strange ghosts had really come to attack Qianmian Island!
Afraid of what comes.
Bad situation Arthur has been through too much, and they know that the stranger is in action, although they are very anxious, but they are not reckless.
Like a searchlight, the condensed light shone on the wooded islands of the lake.
However.
The verdant of the island was gone, except for the light dyed with pale gold, and the eyes were yellowed and gray, and all the fish beams and trees were no longer flourishing.
Silent.
The vitality of the Heart Tree is being eroded by evil!
The power of the old gods is being wiped out by evil!
Looking at the trees on the island, Lancelot grieved for his hometown where he grew up, his expression became sluggish, and anger ignited in his eyes: "Your Highness..."
The old gods, who are enemies of ancient gods, are allies of humanity!
Without Lancelot opening his mouth, Arthur and Daenerys immediately let the dragon swoop towards the island, because it didn't fly high, and suddenly it stuck to the withered fish beam, landing in the shallows where the waves were constantly flowing.
The Strange Spirits have led the resurrection of the dead to kill thousands of faces.
When the people came down from the dragon's back, ghouls with swords and spears came galloping wildly.
On the back of the dragon, Daenerys saw many of her men among the ghouls: "It's the Unsullied Soldiers and the Dothraki Warriors!"
"Why are they here?"
Arthur didn't think about it, swung his sword and led everyone into battle.
Penelope and Lorianne, who came with the prince, didn't know what they were thinking, and immediately cooperated to release the fire magic.
The Soaring Flame Dragon rose and dispelled the darkness around it, burning hundreds of resurrected dead people into charcoal and setting fire to the dry vegetation.
Lancelot, Ambrosius, Gianna, Angela, and Liadline were a little stunned when they saw this.
"What are you doing?" Returning to his senses, Lancelot, who was still sane, could not blame the priestess who had helped him but wanted to destroy his home, so he could only warn loudly: "Don't set fires indiscriminately!"
Hearing this, Penelope was silent, and Luo Lian lowered her head in embarrassment.
Just when Arthur controlled the flames and made a way for everyone, Penelope saw an illusion in the flames: "Your Highness, we don't need to go in. β
Arthur was stunned: "What?"
"The Lord of Light told me that the Old Gods had lost. Penelope said.
Arthur didn't wrinkle: "You mean we're late?"
Lancelot was immediately angry when he heard this, this was the home where he grew up, and he had a mother who raised him, but before he could speak, the children of the forest ran to the road opened by the flames controlled by the prince.
Behind them are wraiths on dead horses!
"Stop them!"
Seeing this, Lancelot didn't care about what Penelope said, and immediately rushed forward with the prince and the knights.
Ambrosius and Gianna released spell support one after another.
But the Stranger is not a vegetarian either.
Even if their weaknesses and abilities are discovered, the victory rate against Arthur and others is not high, and the cold air disperses and the frost suddenly appears, and they erect an ice wall to block the spellcaster's spells and block the knight's brave charge.
Among the few children of the forest who escaped was none of Lancelot's adoptive mothers, who did not speak the human language.
Seeing Arthur and the others shrouded in golden light, a son of the forest handed over a bag of animal skin in his hand to the young man who was protecting him with holy light, and rushed into the lake of God's Eye and disappeared.
"What's going on?"
On the dragon's back, Daenerys, who had Drogen and Rego ready to support, frowned at the actions of the Children of the Forest.
Holding the animal skin bag, Arthur was also stunned.
Thousands of miles to come to the rescue of the children of the forest on the Thousand Faces Island, but they just threw a bag at themselves and ran away, isn't such an ally a bit of a pit?
But soon, Lancelot, who was about to rush to the ice wall, clung to the indestructible lake, heard his mother's voice in his head.
"Lancelot, I've taken refuge in the Lake of God's Eye to safety, get out of here, the Night King is performing an evil ritual on the island, and the ancient gods who rule the darkness, death, and cold will be summoned to descend!"
"Get out of here!"
Boom ββββ
The turbulent waves in the Divine Eye Lake became more violent, and there was a dizzying earthquake on the Thousand Faces Island, and the breath that made people palpitate exploded!
It's an ancient god!
The withered Yuliang Wood Heart Tree on the island bloomed green again, and the green light occupied everyone's attention.
Arthur, Daenerys, Ambrosius, Gawain, Annie, all of them had the voice of the Children of the Forest in their heads.
"Get out of here!"
