The Night King didn't send even half a ghoul in the direction of Icefjord.

There were no emotional reasons for this decision, but it was based entirely on rational considerations: 1) Icefjord Harbor was to the west, which had no strategic significance for one's side, and attacking it would cause the ghoul army to reverse away from the Great Wall and delay the warplanes; 2) Icegap Harbor had too few people, but it was full of combatants, and attacking this fortress would yield far less troops than might have to pay for victory, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Humans call them strangers, but the Night King himself knows that he and his subordinates are not irrational goblins—their true identity is that they are priests of the cold gods, the human walking and spokesmen of one of the only two true gods in the world, and the executors of wishes and needs.

As the leader of all the priests of the cold gods, all of his actions should completely abandon emotional factors such as hatred, disgust, and longing, and take the realization of the grand goals of his gods as the first and only criterion.

He was not the creation of the god of cold - the children of the forest first created themselves as machines for war against humanity. After an unknown period of self-consciousness and self-awareness, the Great Being awakened his senses, endowed himself with reason and the ability to think, guided him from the makers and controllers, and provided him with a greater and noble goal: to eliminate the killing, and restore the world to its original cold, orderly, serene state!

That's right, the living would never believe that they were made as killing machines...... They call the Night King, the king of the demons, but they hate to kill.

The children of the forest, whom he hated most, were a thing of the past, but the greed and violence of ingesting, competing for resources, and replicating and spreading their genetic material were buried deep in the genes of every living thing, and they were hopeless. To solve this problem, the god came up with the most fundamental solution: to destroy all living things in the world, and when life is completely gone, killing will naturally cease to exist!

......

To achieve this, and to achieve the ultimate goal of overpowering Lahlo and seizing control of this world, what the Chill God needs now is to destroy the magical isolation effect of the Great Wall as soon as possible in order to unleash his power from the land of eternal winter to all of Westeros.

Because those three dragons will return to the battlefield at any moment to fight alongside the living people guarding the Great Wall!

The god of cold is not afraid of dragons, and he is not afraid of human armies. Compared to powerful fighting machines like his priests, who rely on magic to maintain their bodies, the living are only potential puppet soldiers, and the symbol of magic in the eyes of humans is nothing more than a large flying lizard. The dragon's dragon flame, which is said to have a demon-destroying effect, is nothing more than a hot wind for the priests to sweat.

As long as they are willing to spend their mana, any enemy in the world is a dog—provided that the priests are soaked in the power of the cold gods and have an abundant and constant source of power.

However, while the magic of the Great Wall was still in effect, the Priests of the Gods of Cold, who ventured across the dividing line and entered the Sein, were like fish jumping ashore - just as it was difficult for fish to get oxygen from the air, the Priests of the Gods of Cold, south of the wall, could not obtain the replenishment of the "Chill Mana" they relied on for their livelihood, and every bit of energy had to be saved and cherished to the extreme, and they did not dare to waste half a penny!

Whether it's a human army or a dragon, it's easy to deal with alone, but if you fight both while the magic shield of the Great Wall is still in effect, it's like a fish fighting land creatures on the shore with breathlessness, and the odds of victory are quite slim!

The only way to break the game is to capture the Nighthold before the three human-controlled dragons return, destroy the magic within the ice walls, destroy the that block the cold magic - and flood all of Westeros with "water"!

As long as the massive power of the Cold God penetrates the Great Wall and releases it to the south, there will be no power in the world that can stop the pace of the Cold God!

Therefore, the army must not only move in the right direction, but also move quickly!

The Night's Watch has a defensive plan, and the Night King also has an offensive plan.

After successfully crossing the Grand Canyon, the first thing the Strangers did was to besiege from all sides and uproot the "Canyon Lookout" that humanity had established at the midpoint of the Grand Canyon - a small, wooden temporary stronghold used to transport combat readiness and personnel.

In this battle, the Night King saw the use of new human weapons for the first time: those small spherical objects, after exploding, did not create a green sea of fire like wildfire, but burst out countless frozen fire fragments, one of which could threaten a large area, severing the connection between dozens of living dead and strangers.

This new threat, which had never been seen before, was quickly channeled into the minds of every priest through the Night King's magical senses, and the Wraiths' response was to stay as far away from the walls as possible in their assault on the castle, relying as much as possible on the living dead rather than going into battle themselves...... to avoid the damage of this new weapon as much as possible. If you really have to get close, you must also condense ice armor on the surface of your body to defend against the damage of freezing fire.

The Dragon Crystal Bomb was thrown into battle and the Night King consumed far more of the living dead than expected in the process of taking the Canyon Lookout, but it was a temporary stronghold rather than a permanent fortress, without deep ditches and high fortifications and sufficient combat readiness, and after resisting desperately for half an hour and barely replacing a few thousand ghouls, he was helplessly overwhelmed by corpses.

After killing and turning the more than 1,000 human defenders who had retreated into the stronghold and turned them into puppets, the Wraiths began to command the army of ghouls on a second mission: to completely uproot and destroy the last scattered fish beams on both sides of the defensive mountain pass.

Although the Great Wall still stands, after clearing the weak point of the canyon, the power of the cold god can slowly and continuously penetrate into the south of the Great Wall through this dozens of miles long opening. If the recovery speed of the magic power of the ghosts outside the fortress was 100, but it was 0 in the fortress, then completely destroying the fish beam wood forests on both sides of the canyon was a qualitative change from "0" to "1" in an instant. This small gap, like a wave that constantly overflows the levee and washes ashore - not sufficient, but slowly and continuously provides a minimum of energy for the Wraiths to move south of the wall.

Although the mana still has to be saved, at least there is no need to worry about running out completely and not being able to maintain its form and disappear.

In the face of the sheer number, thousands of fish beams and trees were cleared in an instant, bathed in the thin cold power that gradually seeped in, and the strange spirits led the army of dead people to begin the last preparation before the battle against the Great Wall: to build a gentle slope overnight in the most gentle part of the canyon, so that those who were still stranded at the bottom of the canyon and were too large to climb the canyon because of their body structure or size...... Necropped mammoths, giants, etc. exist through.

Although the human fortifications were vulnerable to the Priests of the Cold God, the Night King believed that he would be able to use these "heavy weapons" with thick skin and flesh if his magic power was spared...... Come and do some rough work.

The servants of the god of cold also knew how to sharpen their knives and cut wood, and the Shadow Tower and Icefjord Harbor trembled at the prospect of a strong enemy at any time, but it took the army of ghouls to take care of all the preparations in the middle of the night, and they turned around and lined up in a long line, and began to march in the direction of the Great Wall.
