Chapter 985: The Night Watch (I)

The Great Wall, the last barrier of human civilization in the north of Westeros.

Although most people have forgotten how this majestic wall was built and what kind of enemies it was used to defend against.

Even the Night's Watch Legion is currently only using it as a way to fend off the barbarn of the wildlings north of the walls.

It is estimated that in their eyes, those wild people who often rush into the village to burn and loot are the most dangerous enemies in this ice and snow.

No one knew that at a time when humanity was wasting precious time in endless infighting, deep in the depths of the glaciers and valleys of the Far North, a great war with a scale of more than hundreds of thousands had just come to an end.

The powerful undead have taken over control of thousands of living corpses from the Wraiths and imprisoned those who are willing to surrender, leaving the necromancers to take care of the follow-up research.

These unlucky people don't realize what kind of cruel and painful experiments await them, and it's hard to say whether they can even survive.

After all, necromancers are not good people, as long as they can get the results they want, they don't care whether the test subjects live or die.

"My lord, according to the information provided by the strangers, the humans living north of the Great Wall of Desperation are rapidly gathering, and there are many living giants among them, do you think you should immediately launch an attack and wipe them out?" a death knight in black armor proposed.

As one of the few high-ranking commanders of this army of the undead who still retains the consciousness of his former life, he can clearly feel the hatred of living life in his heart.

This is not a negative feeling that arises from envy and jealousy, but an instinct and nature that comes from the depths of the soul.

"Pursuit? No! That's not what we're supposed to do, let the strangers who surrender do it. Let's not forget, until the master gives orders, our task is to constantly strengthen our strength, and not to actively expose ourselves to the human eye. Shuma shook her head without thinking.

"What do you mean...... Let the Wraiths test the human reaction in our place?" a hint of surprise appeared on the Death Knight's pale face.

"That's right, release half of the wraiths, and give them 20,000 living corpses to hunt down the wildlings to the edge of the desperate Wall. And we use this time to digest the fruits of victory. Remember, don't measure the undead by what was previously human. We are messengers of death, and once we appear before the living it means destruction. ”

With that, Shuma plunged the powerful magic sword in his hand into the ice, woke up all the frozen corpses buried under the ice and had been dead for an unknown number of years, and began to build war machines in an orderly manner to prepare for the next larger war.

......

Before you know it, more than half a month has passed, and with the Lannisters completely removed from the nobility circle and the destruction of Castle Rock City, Daenerys finally led the army back to King's Landing, and began to learn to handle complex government affairs by herself under the guidance of Zhang Cheng.

No one noticed that a stranger had quietly arrived in the cold north.

"Damn! this place reminds me of the Nordic winter. As he drove the carriage, Warrent quickly drew closer to his cloak and grumbled in a low voice.

Although he has mastered many magical abilities, he will never use them lightly unless he has to.

As for the reason, it is very simple, he understands that he is not strong, so the wanton display of power will not only not bring benefits, but will easily lead to death.

Keeping humility in front of the strong and mystical in front of opponents of the same level is his way of survival.

Thankfully, the harrowing journey didn't last long, as the silence was shattered by a group of knights in black armor and cloaks.

The man at the head made a big circle around the carriage before shouting, "Who are you, and what is the purpose of approaching Castle Black?"

"Hello, Honorable Night's Watch Ranger. I'm from King's Landing, a curious traveler who wants to see it for myself. Warrent hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and stroked his chest with one hand.

"Traveler, are you sure you're not a madman?" the knight raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of undisguised sarcasm.

You must know that the Night Watch Legion is no longer the glorious organization of a long time ago, and almost all of the Night Watch are either nobles who can't get along or criminals who have been sent over.

Even so, there were less than a thousand men left in the entire Night's Watch legion, and both supplies and supplies were pitifully small, almost describing it as a beggar legion.

"Of course not! I'm in good spirits!Oh, by the way, I've brought gifts to you heroes, a whole wagon of ham and sausages from King's Landing, and five thousand gold coins. ”

In order to show his sincerity, Warrent directly lifted the cart drawn by two horses, revealing that it was full of goodies.

In particular, the light emitted by the gold coin suddenly made several guys who had just escaped from the identity of criminals restless, and even pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, exchanging glances with each other frantically.

The knight at the head undoubtedly sensed this, and immediately drew his sword and warned loudly, "Be honest with the fuck, if you don't want to die!"

No doubt!

He was quite intimidating against these bandit-turned-scumbags, and a single sentence calmed down the restless emotions.

Although some of the guys still had a strong reluctance in their eyes, they no longer dared to look at the gold coins in the carriage box with their eyes.

Confirming that the alarm had been lifted, the knight at the head finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, rode to the cart, picked up a gold coin and put it in his mouth and bit it gently, followed by a happy laugh: "Hahahaha! God! It's a real gold coin! Well, I'm starting to believe you a little bit now." Come, I'll take you back to Castle Black, Commander-in-Chief Geo Mormont will be very happy that at this time, someone has sent so much money and meat. ”

"Thank you very much! It is a great honour for me to receive broadband from His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. Warrent's eyes flashed with a hint of subtle amusement, and he drove the carriage back to the other man's slow march towards the somewhat dilapidated castle not far away.

It took about twenty minutes for the group to pass through the city gate and enter this place that could barely be considered one of the few safe places in the border area.

Strictly speaking, the Black Castle is not a real castle, it is not protected by walls on three sides, east, west and south, except for the north with the Great Wall of Despair, and the rest of it is made up of several stone towers and wooden fortresses.
