Iger didn't send the champion of the archery tournament and the two high-ranking Red God Priests to deal with the corpse dragon because he had another mission and task that was equally important than destroying the enemy - ensuring the safety of the queen.

Angai's nickname of "Marksman" is well deserved, and he is separated by dozens of meters outside the range of the black dragon's accidental injury, and with only a little firelight, he can also shoot down the ghouls who climb on the dragon's back and threaten the queen with dragon crystal arrows like a leisurely stroll...... If you are really in a shooting corner, let the two red-robed wizards cast spells to eliminate them at a more cost, if they cooperate and complement each other, it is easy to make the threat invisible.

With the participation of the three dragons in the battle greatly boosting their morale and attracting all the attention of the strangers, the land-giving army that finally rushed to the battlefield took a big advantage and destroyed the enemy's front before even Egger had time to kill the enemy and set an example. When the corpse dragon disposal team completely eliminated the new alien leader who took over the function of the Night King, and put an end to this bloody invasion under the control of the cold god, the main force of the land-giving army had already eliminated the large army of ghouls with the cooperation of one dragon in the sky and one on the ground and the northern army that had been outflanked after regrouping, so there was no spectacular scene of "thousands of ghouls falling down together" when Longgang exploded to snipe the Night King.

Although there are no "iconic" scenes that would let everyone know at a glance that the war has been won, both Melisandre and Macchiro are very sure that all the Wraiths have been eliminated by Egger, and there is indeed no report from any soldiers in the direction of the battlefield to see the enemy flee - this war between humans and ghosts is likely to be over, or at least over.

＊＊＊

Egger's mission as "Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch" has been successfully accomplished, but his journey as the lord of the land grant and the head of the tenth power of Westeros with considerable resources in his hands has only officially begun—one second, the North is still the most reliable ally and extremely solid backing, but the next second of victory, he will have to start thinking about how to deal with the former's unloading and killing of donkeys.

After sending his soldiers back to Bran Stark to confirm that the Stranger had no more fish to slip through the net, he immediately followed his previous plan: before cleaning up the battlefield, he sent his henchmen to dispatch several elite Ranger squads to the east and west into the forest, claiming to be "searching for the remnants of the escaped enemy".

"The second invasion of the Aliens after a thousand years was repelled in just five days" - this description does not sound dangerous at all. But in fact, in just four days and five nights, the frequency of passive + active combat of the night watchmen, the high casualty rate and combat readiness consumption, the intensity of the engagement and the thrilling twists and turns of the process are definitely not inferior to any protracted major battle in the history of Westeros. For a number of reasons, Iger didn't want to declare victory sooner rather than later—and the search teams sent out would be the best disguise:

These elite scouts would set off in full view of everyone, and after entering the forest, they would pretend to circle around, and after a while, they would not join the large army and return directly to Houguan Town, and report to the command headquarters that "the enemy has fled north".

Iger would immediately "respond" to this news: he ordered troops to be sent along the Ice-Gap Harbor and the Great Wall to attempt to intercept and ensure that the enemy was completely wiped out in Seyne.

The non-existent enemy was of course unable to stop him, and when the news of the front-line army coming back with no gains came back, the Night's Watch officer could logically announce that the remnants of the enemy had retreated outside the fortress, and seemed to be preparing to gather strength to make a comeback.

Thus, the land grant could justifiably maintain a state of war and ask the North to continue to cooperate.

On the surface, everyone is still safe and sound for a short time, but in fact, when the princes of the northern realm are still thinking about everything, preparing to wait for themselves to completely eliminate the threat of strange ghosts before liquidating and playing rabbits and dead dogs, the land grant will complete all the preparations for sending troops south and stepping onto the stage of power struggle in the Seven Kingdoms at an astonishing speed!

......

"Count the casualties as soon as possible, separate the bodies of your own people from the ghouls, and burn and bury them on the spot. Don't clean up the debris, leave it where it is—in the future, this will be the site of the Battle of Long Lake, where the bones of both sides and the traces of a great battle will prove to the world and those who come after them that the Night's Watch and the North once fought a war that will affect the future of mankind. ”

The black dragon covered in bruises did not calm down even after the battle, in order to avoid being accidentally injured, Egg did not approach immediately, but first stood outside the accidental injury range of the dragon's breath, and waited while carrying out some miscellaneous aftermath arrangements.

The order to keep the battlefield was given not out of vanity or merit, nor was it entirely out of political considerations, but it was a point that Iger had always believed in and adhered to: it is noble to do good deeds without asking for anything in return, but it is foolish to do good deeds without letting people know about them!

Tens of thousands of land-donors and civilians fought this war with all their lives, even if not all of them voluntarily, and even if most of them did not have any noble belief in "fighting for humanity", but this does not change the fact that they shed their blood and sacrificed to protect all mankind, and they deserve to be remembered.

......

The small group of pursuing troops rested and marched towards the wolf grove in full gear, and the wounded and manic black dragon also calmed down after a roar - armed with Machiro and a few guards, Egg cautiously approached from the dragon's visible front, just in time for Daenerys to stagger the underground dragon.

＊＊＊

Soreness in the hands and feet, dizziness and ...... The whole world seemed to spin in front of you. As a dragon knight, Daenerys did not slash half of the ghouls in battle, but it was with her command that the three dragons did not spray dragon flames on the heads of the northern army.

However, at this moment, the biggest hero of this battle is not easy: Zhuo Geng was forced to land after his wings were injured, although the height was less than 100 feet, and there was a buffer of snow, but it was also a solid hard landing...... After a fierce battle, although the black dragon did not move the nest in place, for the queen on his back, it was like driving a canoe in the stormy waves for more than half an hour, how uncomfortable it was.

Daenerys almost slipped off the dragon's back, and before she could stand on her feet, she helped the dragon to vomit. Seeing that she looked like she was about to die or live, Egger didn't care about the fierceness of the giant beast, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her and carried the little queen back into the crowd.

"Your Majesty, with the help of your great contribution to the battle, we have won this battle! Do you want to go back to the carriage to rest now, or do you ......?"

"Vicelion...... He was shot by something and fell...... Take me to see him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Everyone didn't care about anything else, and walked towards the place where the white dragon landed a hundred meters away, and Iger quietly ordered someone to go over one step ahead to deliver the message, and finally didn't let Daenerys see the miserable appearance of her "child" being shot by the night watchman all over with arrows.

"Viselion, Viserion!"

Seeing Daenerys lying on the white dragon's head and gradually starting to cry out in grief, Iger could only accompany him silently. The Queen's willful early entry into the battle did disrupt the rhythm of the Land-Grant Army at first, but objectively it did prevent the Alien from breaking through the Northern Army's position and continuing to flee south, and besides, the death of one dragon and the injury of two dragons actually carried a lot of damage for the commanders and transcendents on the living side: not to mention, if Daenerys had not ridden the dragon back north, herself, Melisandre, Marchiro, and even Bran Stark, a night watchman's command, The three transcendent beings who are hostile to the cold gods are bound to become the main sniper targets of the strangers.

The dragon's skin is rough and thick, and it can eat the ghosts and attack many times without dying, but the human body is mortal...... Even if an existence as strange and unpredictable as the high-ranking Red God Priest and the Green Prophet can it be carried?

After watching the Mother of Dragons grieve for the child for a while, the herald came to inform the Northern Guardian Robb Stark for a second time that he was going to ask the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, feeling that he had almost waited, Egg sighed and walked behind the Queen, and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, dragons cannot be resurrected from death, and the white dragon Viserion gave his life to protect your people, and died a well-deserved death, and the Night's Watch and the people of the North will never forget its heroic appearance soaring into the sky." But the body is the capital to change the world, you have traveled a lot of hard work, the weather is unusually cold, and there is still a long way to go to realize the dream of 'breaking the wheels', please let me ask you to move into the carriage and rest!"

Daenerys turned her face away to wipe the tears from her cheeks, refusing to show too much weakness in front of her valued new loyalists: "Send someone to watch his corpse, I won't allow anyone to destroy even a single scale." When Drogon recovers, I'll cremate him with dragon flame!"

"Yes. Egg nodded in agreement, dragon bone scales are really not a strange thing in Westeros, and they are not as precious as Valyrian steel...... As long as the two red-robed priests come over later to confirm that there is no possibility of the dragon being transformed, it is up to the queen to do whatever she wants, "At this moment, Duke Stark is ordering someone to find him, can Your Majesty allow me to explain everything to him, and discuss the next related matters related to the north to make way for the night watchman to go south?"

"Duke Stark?"

"Yes. ”

In normal times, Daenerys would most likely ask to go with her, using dragons like Aegon the Conqueror to force the rulers of the North to bow down to her, but now, with Viseryon dead and injured and unable to fly, it is really not a good time to slap a swollen face and become fat.

The man in front of him had already sworn allegiance to himself the morning before yesterday under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, and Daenerys decided to trust him...... Won't betray herself when she's at her weakest.

"Go, it's best if you can convince Stark to avoid bloodshed in the North against me. If you can't, don't mess around, and when Zhuo Geng and Lei Ge's injuries are healed, we'll think of other ways. ”
