Chapter 0696: Bran is already ruthless, the magic mountain is in winter
(Guys, go home today and update in advance!)

Talking crows, although rare, are quite numerous.
In addition to the crows of Jeo Mormont who can speak human language, in the school town of the old town, there is an academy dedicated to training messenger ravens, and there are two kinds of ravens in the academy, one is the common black raven, which is currently the messenger raven used by the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and there is a white raven, all of which can speak human language. Whenever the scholars of the school city calculated the changing days of the seasons, or some major event in the world, the school city would send a raven who could speak human language to spread the message throughout the seven countries.
It's not that the Three-Eyed Crow speaks human, but that Bran Stark, who was chased by Little Skinning and whose whereabouts are unknown, is not dead, and that he has a Three-Eyed Crow. Crows have two eyes, but this crow has one eye in the middle of its head.
This is something that no one has ever seen before.
After seeing the strange ghosts and the unkillable ghouls, everyone's surprise at the sudden appearance of a three-eyed crow decreased. But no matter how strong everyone's psychological endurance is, the three-eyed crow still gives everyone a very strange feeling.
Eddard Stark was calm, but he also knew that the Three-Eyed Raven would never be as simple as a crow.
Some good and bad miracles are constantly appearing in this world, and some visions are also appearing frequently.
In the hall, everyone's eyes fell on the Three-Eyed Crow, and everyone had a faint expectation, expecting the Three-Eyed Crow to speak and convey Bran Stark's message, but the Three-Eyed Crow flew away without saying a word after looking around at the people in the hall.
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in Hearth, and Jon Snow personally led thirty of the most elite rangers, along with Valamir, to the west of the Wolf Forest Mountains.
The Wolf Forest Mountain Range in the west, stretching for thousands of miles and hundreds of miles wide, is the primeval forest in the north.
In addition to the Glover family, there are also some primitive and backward aborigines of the wolf forest, which are not under the control of the Stark family.
Valamir rode on the terrifying Snow Bear, which looked clumsy, but ran at incredible speed and endurance, and was faster than the most elite Rangers, even stronger in short distances and no less powerful in long distances.
In the sky, Valamir's snow eagle flew high in the sky, reconnoitring the situation ahead, and Varamir controlled the situation in a radius of miles around him with the eyes of the snow eagle.
The elite rangers are made up of veterans, and this group of people is very jealous of Valamir, if there are a hundred old rangers, there will be a hundred and one veterans who want to kill Valamir. Varamir knew this well, which was why he chose to escape into the Wolf Forest in the first place after crossing the Great Wall. He took Jon Snow to pick up Bran Stark, who was disabled in both legs, in order to make a contribution in front of the Stark family, to dilute the potential blood debt and enmity between him and the Night's Watch legion, and by the way, to make the Stark family, the lord of the North, owe him a big favor first.
These freemen will return to the north after the war, and these night watchmen will not meet each other in wartime, and it is difficult to say after the war. And Valamir made up his mind to choose to stay, to live in the territory of the southerners, and the best way to integrate is, of course, to do something that is kind to the great lord's family first.
In fact, through his Snow Bear and Icewolf, and with the help of Sky Hawk, Valamir was able to bring Mera Reed and Bran Stark back to Fireplace City safely last night. But Valamir chose the tortuous process of reporting the news and then saving people, and it is difficult to say that the method is better, but this fully shows that Valamir is a person who loves to toss and ponder. He is suspicious and cunning.
An hour later, Jon Snow and Valamir ran into the Wolf Grove, where Valamir slowed down on a giant bear whose sheer size was a disadvantage in the woods. And in the woods, Jon's Icewolf White Spirit and Valamir's three-headed Icewolf all showed their talent and agility in battle, and the four Icewolves ran at the front, heading straight for the depths of the Wolf Forest.
Although it was the Icewolf who was leading the way, Jon Snow and the veterans knew that it was actually Valamir riding on the Snow Bear's neck who was leading the way. All three Icewolves are under the control of Valamir and are under command of all actions.
The beasts controlled by Valamir do not lose their combat power, but instead have the cunning wisdom of Valamir, which makes the veterans feel chilled, but fortunately, Valamir is now an ally on the same front as them, not an enemy.

In the wolf forest, behind the bushes, under the rocks, a pair of bright eyes stared at several ghouls who were walking step by step, and the first one in front had half of its face rotting, revealing rotten flesh and white bones, and the two blue pupils glowed blue.
The owner who watched the ghouls' eyes was a young girl, not tall, but with a perfectly curved figure. She had a short knife around her waist, a harpoon, and a fishing net in her hand. Harpoons and fishing nets are both the Maiden's weapons and her survival hunting tools. Using harpoons and fishing nets, she led Bran Stark through the snow and ice, over the Ghost Forest, and crushed the deadly threat of starvation. Harpooning in rivers, streams and lakes, and hunting hares in the woods with nets are Mera Reed's forte.
There are hundreds of ghouls roaming this area, and as far as the eye can see, there are ghouls wandering everywhere, but it is a matter of time before Bran hides in the cave that will be discovered by this army of ghouls.
This army of ghouls has two commanders: the Wraiths, who have been hunting Bran Stark since the beginning of the Thorn Mountains north of the Wall of Desperation, on the orders of the Night King, but each time, Bran has managed to escape because he has foreseen their arrival. The crippled Bran Stark relied on the three-eyed crow's reconnaissance and his dream foresight to guide Mera Reed to successfully get out of the Thern Mountains, out of the Ghost Forest, through the unguarded Black Castle tunnel, and all the way into the wolf forest to escape.
Along the way, the men who died for Bran Stark to escape the hunt of the wraiths sent by the Night King are another shapeshifter - Mera Reed's brother Jiujian Reed, an eleven guardian of the Children of the Forest, Bran's own domestic servant Addo, and Bran's Icewolf Summer.
In the end, only two people were left in the team, Mera Reed and Bran.

Behind Mera Reed, there was a small cave, and Bran Stark lay at the bottom of it, on a rattan mat, with Mera Reed as his only guard. If it weren't for Mera Reed, Bran would have been dead.
Several ghouls approached and sniffed, and Mera silently stepped back into the cave. She's a great stalker, and she doesn't make the slightest sound.
"Bran, it won't be long before the ghouls discover this cave, and they smell us. Mera whispered. Her hands were already sweating.
Bran's face, which was still a child, was as calm as an eternal ice peak, his handsome face did not have the breath of life of a human child, and his big bright eyes were as quiet as the water in a long lake.
"Don't be afraid, Mera, Jon Snow and Valamir are quietly rounding up the Wraith. ”
"Strange ghosts?"
"Yes. ”
"How many of them came?"
"Thirty Rangers, Jon Snow and Valamire"
"Thirty soldiers, there are hundreds of ghouls in this forest. ”
"An obsidian arrow can kill an unravel, and when an alien dies, the ghouls will fall. The Snow Eagle in the sky of Valamir detected the location of the Wraith, and there were not many ghouls around the two Wraith. ”
"They're going to fight a raid?"
"Yes!"
Click!
At the entrance of the cave, a ghoul stepped on a dead branch and made a crunching sound, which entered the cave and startled Mera Reed, while Bran Stark remained motionless, as if he had not heard any noise at all.
The child didn't even move his eyes, his face was expressionless, or rather cold as frost.
After a while, a ghoul staggered into the cave, and Mera's hair stood on end, and she jumped to her feet, drew her short knife, and assumed a fighting stance. But nervous, she soon realized that the short knife was too short, and the short knife in her hand turned into a bright light, and shot at the ghoul with a bang, and with a poof, it hit the ghoul in the forehead.
But the ghoul only shook a moment, and then swung his sword at Mera.
Ghouls can't be killed by a sword!
Mera can't dodge, can't retreat, and behind her is Bran Stark.
The ghoul's sword slashed down, and Mera had already picked up the harpoon on the ground, the rung, and with a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, and the harpoon almost escaped. The ghoul shook, and the sword stabbed Mera in the lower abdomen. Suddenly, there was a sound of wind, and a black shadow appeared as if out of thin air, like an arrow, and swooped down on the ghoul's face, pulling out its two blue pupils.
The three-eyed crow had already flown back, lying quietly on the cave wall, and he suddenly flew out, like a black lightning bolt, and instantly blinded the ghoul's eyes.
The ghoul let out a roar of rage, swinging his sword wildly, losing its target.
Mera's harpoon stabbed the ghoul in the head, and the ghoul fell, but the sword in his hand was still swinging wildly, and his hands and feet were moving.
A candle flew out of Bran's hand, who was half-seated, and landed on the ghoul's body, igniting the ghouls, who let out a stronger roar and struggled desperately, but the fire burned fast, and the ghouls soon became a pile of raging flames.
Outside the entrance to the cave there was a dense sound of footsteps and the roars of ghouls, and many ghouls poured into the cave.
"Throw your cloak and your mat and your clothes into the fire. Bran's voice was as calm as ice, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.
Although Mera was reluctant, she quickly threw her cloak, her clothes, and Bran's drag into the burning flames of the ghouls. Then she raised her harpoon in front of Bran Stark, her face full of awe-inspiring battle intent, the extreme of fear, only bravery remained.
The ghouls who had poured into the cave suddenly stopped, and the burning flames frightened them, and they stopped, their blue eyes flickering in the light of the bright flames, which was terrifying.
When the flames are extinguished, the ghouls rush over and tear Mera and Bran to shreds.

Not far outside, the earth-shattering roar of the snow bear suddenly sounded, and the sound of the tree being broken by the snow bear was shocking...... The roars of several ice wolves rang out together, mixed with the terrible howl of a shadow lynx, and suddenly, the horns of a charge erupted in the distance, and the sound of swords and arrows roared intensively......
Boom Boom Boom!
The tremor of a terrible beast crashing in this direction made the walls of the entire cave tremble. It was the snow bear controlled by Valamir who was charging this way, and the ghouls were vulnerable and invincible, and they flew into the air, and the ghouls who hit the trunk of the tree either had their heads shattered or their bones broken, and although they did not die, they could only struggle in place......
The sound of the snow bear outside was earth-shattering, and the ghouls in the cave turned around and rushed out as if they had heard the order to fight......
In the light of the fire, Mera's awe-inspiring expression relaxed, and the hot sweat on her face seemed to flow out of control, she turned to look at Bran, feeling the deep tiredness after the tense confrontation: "They're coming!"
Bran looked at Mera, her big bright eyes reflecting Mera's concerned expression...... But Bran's heart was unwavering...... There was no expression on his face, and this expression was a little ...... on a child's face Ruthless......
With a thud, the three-eyed crow on the wall flew out of the cave...... He's Bran's eyes......

At the same time, in the sky above Winterfell, a sound of gold and jade that pierced the world sounded: Correction-
A golden-red cloud came over Winterfell, a giant flying beast with a hideous head, bright golden-red scales, a long neck and a long tail, and huge wings 100 meters long...... The entire population of Winterfell was looking up at the sky, dragon, a dragon...... The dragon's wings spread out and flew low, as if it could cover all of Winterfell.
The Demon Mountain rode the dragon to the skies above Winterfell, and his legion had not yet entered the territory of Winterfell.
King Robb Stark, Queen Roslyn Frey, Her Majesty Queen Mother Caitlin Tully, Earl Karstark, and the nobles of the North were waiting in the school grounds to greet the Mountain, who looked up at the sky, and the Mountain hovered over Winterfell on a dragon with the Ice Greatsword that belonged to the Stark family, slowly lowering it.
Tens of thousands of people inside and outside Winterfell, including the people of the winter towns outside the city—warriors and people—all looked up at the dragon and the figure on the dragon's back in amazement, and their eyes were full of shock......
The Demon Mountain, one man and one dragon, came to Winterfell first, and he came to make a very important agreement with Robb Stark, King of the North, who would be the supreme commander of the coalition in this battle: the Commander-in-Chief......
