47. Life and Death (6)
A short-lived victory gave the noble coalition confidence that the more they lost, the greater the profits they would share in the future.
For the minor nobles on the continent of Lanstrour, promotion has always been like this.
However, for them, this is a war of information asymmetry, and what awaits them may be the oblivion and death of time.
However, for the real upper echelons of the coalition forces, they frowned, and some were unsure of the will of the dominant forces outside the battlefield.
"The Army ...... of the New Town"
Just as they thought, the army of the new city was gathering, and the terrible number and supplies made the leaders feel a little pain in their livers.
Instead of offering to participate in the battle, the new city supported the defense of the Black Great Wall, which gave them enough time to react, whether to attack, flee or surrender on the spot.
At least that's how the Queen of Thorns thinks about it.
Skinned little Bolton was still eating his usual food, and the delicious food came from the friendship of some reluctant fellows in the forest, just to preserve the integrity of the Stark family's bloodline.
He loved the deal, especially the great treasure lying in his room, and as a madman he did not think at all about the consequences of doing so; The mother and son from the Eagle's Nest are in a trance, and there is madness in the trance, a crazy person is terrible, and a crazy woman is even more terrifying. Not only is she confronting the Stark army, but she is also looking for enough "allies" among thieves and robbers to rely on enough numbers to devastate the North. Those who do it are not restrained by the little finger, they are lawless.
They burned, looted, and even attacked the village guards, and they provided the ammunition from the corpse trucks.
.......
Different from the human world, on the distant Black Great Wall, the lookout looked at the barbarians and ancient relics who were constantly gathering in the distance, and blew the horn, and the dull sound spread for dozens of miles, and then the horns of various strongholds sounded one after another.
This voice made Snow, who was eating food in the stronghold, raise his head, and Bunyan Stark stood up directly, listened carefully to the horn, and after a while, he spoke: "It's the barbarians, they are coming to attack the city, in the direction of Crow Castle!" ”
This was not good news, Snow picked up the long sword that was placed aside, stuck it back into his waist, pressed the hilt of the sword, and said, "Gather the troops, we will support immediately!" ”
But Bunyan Stark pressed Snow and said, "This place is equally important, you guard here, and I'll bring people to support!" ”
As he walked out of the house, shouting loudly, and in a few moments a team of hundreds of people assembled in the stronghold, and Bunyan Stark turned over and pulled the reins and said, "Beware of the attack of the ghouls." ”
"I will!"
Bunyan Stark nodded, turned his horse's head, and rushed in the direction of Crowsburg, a team of hundreds of people behind him, carrying spears and swords at their waists, carrying huge bows and marching at full speed.
But for Crowsburg, this support came too late, and the war had already begun.
As the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, Jeo Mormont was on the city wall at this time, watching the barbarians rushing below, holding the hilt of his sword at his waist. He had already instructed his subordinates to prepare enough giant trees and stones to defend the city, but he still didn't have confidence in the many barbarians under the city, they were too many!
"Are there any reinforcements from the Stark boys?"
"I'm already on my way at full speed, and I won't be able to reach it until tomorrow morning at the earliest."
"But it's unknown to us whether we will be able to hold out until they arrive. ”
Unlike in the movies, there is no Snow delaying here, the time brought by this battle comes too quickly, and everyone who is fast does not react, as if something is pushing the barbarians in the back.
Geo Mormont nodded, the Chief of the Legion was right, they didn't have that much strength to defend against this attack, since the ghouls were proven to be real and threatened the entire human race, the Night's Watch forces combined with the guards of the new city to form a new line of defense, but this line was still not big enough to be filled.
No one expected such a situation to happen, the barbarians are too good at finding time! If they can block this attack, then they will have enough time and ability to fight the ghouls after them, if they can't withstand this attack and cause the Black Great Wall to fall, then the Lanstello continent will be like a beautiful woman waiting for the ravages of the barbarians.
Soon a large number of men came out of the Crow Castle, looking at the barbarian army below in the cold wind, and silence filled the armies of both sides.
"Get on the arrow!" The Chief of the Legion's General Affairs, Bowen Marcy, shouted, "Prepare the Rolling Stones and the Logs!" ”
The supply team in the rear launched a large amount of supplies to supplement the lack of combat in the city's defenses. At this moment, behind the barbarians, several giant mammoths bound with thorns came out of the forest! This is the land of Lanstro where animals have never been seen. Their thick fangs made Jao Mormont wonder if the gates could really defend against its impact.
"Holy Light!" Geo Mormont grabbed the snow on the wall and whispered!
This is simply not a force that humans can resist! How could a barbarian be helped by such a war beast! However, all this was reality, and before Jeo Mormont could react, the terrible giant mammoth had already rushed towards it with a step, the arrows had no effect on its body, the huge body crunched against the city walls, and the night watchman standing on the city walls was staggered!
Jao Mormont stood still and looked down, and it was fine! There were no fissures in the walls as expected.
......
It's like someone coordinating the manpower across the entire continent of Lanstrlo, and the pace of combat is fast, and in a world without telephones, it's a luxury to fully react. But for Li Kuan, he really felt the heavy smell in the air.
It's a medium world counterattack!
As the power of the invaders, counting the new city in the distance, there is only the honor guard around him. Li Kuan did not doubt that these hands could crush the humans on the Lanstrand continent, but the middle world that this world could advance to was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. King's Landing has been under siege long enough! Li Kuan, who was sitting on the chairman, pondered, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Ned Stark, inform the nobles of King's Landing that the process of holding martial arts competitions on the mainland must be accelerated!" It's best to do it within this week! ”
Ned Stark, who was working on the file below, suddenly raised his head, frowned suspiciously, and said, "Your Majesty? ”
