Chapter 1006: The Altar

The Great Wall, the Black Castle, the Hall of Shields.

Robb Stark, Jon Snow, Samwill Tully, Will, Little Will, Big Gilly, Jaime, Nine Kinds, Melisandre, Arya Stark, Savage King Mans Red, Skagos Island Unicorn Shaman Shanna, Sons of the Forest Representative Gurrigue...... A group of fierce men sat together, and the atmosphere was quite dull.

Jon Targaryen said, "Lord Jiujian, you are the Green Prophet, I want to know when the Night King will start the war, and where will he start his attack?

"The Night King won't be fighting anytime soon. Jiu Jian said lightly, his eyes were indifferent, his face was expressionless, and he was completely different from when he was under the door of the Heart Tree.

Will judged that Jiujian had returned to the true state of the Green Prophet and no longer overlapped with the past Jiujian.

In front of the Heart Tree, Jiujian said that he was greeting Arya Stark for the last time as a vassal. Then, he showed his skills to convince people that he was already the Green Prophet and not the Joujian Reed of the past.

"And when will he start a war?" Robb said, "We don't have enough food to eat, and once the forces of the Seven Kingdoms and the Essos Continent gather here, and the Night King doesn't come to attack, we will have no food to eat first." ”

"When all the forces of the Essos continent came to the Desperate Wall, it was when the Night King attacked the Wall. ”

The generals looked at each other.

Melisandre said, "Prophet, are you saying that the Night King is actually waiting for our forces to be fully arranged?"

"Yes. ”

'Why would he wait until we have all the preparations and the strongest forces to go to war?' James' eyes were wary.

"Because he's going to catch us all, it's so clean and neat, and it saves him a lot of time and effort. ”

"Why is this happening?" Arya asked, "Is the Night King sure he will wipe us out?"

"Yes!"

"Then surely we will be defeated?" Shanna said, "Prophet, do you see a future in which our Terrans have been defeated?"

"Yes!"

"But we have dragons, and we have lightbringers!" Melisandre said, "and my flame tells me that the Terrans have won at last. ”

"The Terrans will win, but they must do the right thing. ”

"What's the right thing to do?" Will said slowly.

"The Night King has no weakness in the snow and the long night. Jiu Jian said lightly, "Daenerys's dragon comes to the north, and it is no problem for a short time, but if it takes a little longer, her dragon will not adapt to this ice and snow." Also, don't expect the dragon to destroy the Night King, the Night King's iceless physique is linked to the ice and snow. Unless Long Yan can burn the ice and snow of the entire north, it will not really do the Night King any harm. “

When the adults heard this, they all fell into silence!

Long Yan is useless to the Night King?

Then the dragon on which they depended was not useless.

Jon Targaryen said, "If Dragons are useless to the Night King, then do we still need Dragons?"

"Of course it can be used, Long Yan is useless against the Night King, but it is useful against strangers and ghouls. No matter how powerful the Night King is, he can't complete the war of conquest without the strangers and ghouls. ”

"And what are we going to do with the Night King?" said Will.

"I know the weakness of the Night King, and I also know how to deal with the Night King, to kill the Night King, we need the Lightbringer Sword, this sword we have found, and we have also found the owner of the sword. But in order to completely destroy the Night King, one thing must be done first. ”

"What's the matter?"

"In the land of eternal winter, there is an altar, an altar about the god of cold. Jiujian's expression showed a little pain, and he couldn't escape Will's eyes, "It was on that altar that the Night King was blessed by the God of Cold and became the leader of the Night King of the Land of Eternal Winter. ”

Everyone looked at Jiujian and listened attentively to what he was saying.

The Land of Eternal Winter, the Altar of the Cold God, these are all secret things about the Night King, not the Green Prophet, and no one else can know about it. The Land of Eternal Winter is cold, no one can reach the Land of Eternal Winter, and the origin of the Night King is always a mystery!

"We're going to draw the Night King south to attack us after he breaks through our desperate wall. At this time, we need to form an adventurous expeditionary force and go deep into the land of eternal winter to destroy the altar. ”

Big Gilly looked at Melisandre, "High Priestess Merry, did you see the Altar of the Cold God in the flames?"

Melisandre shook her head.

"The Altar of the Cold God does exist, and we can only sever the flesh-and-blood connection between the Night King and the ice and snow in the north by destroying the Altar of the Cold God first, when the Lightbringer is unsheathed, and a sword can kill him. Long Yan can also do harm to him. ”

"Who can go to the Land of Eternal Winter?" Will sighed inwardly, it was clear that Jiujian's target was one person: Little Will.

"Little Will, but he needs some help. Some are not afraid of the cold, are familiar with the Sean Mountains, and are willing to give their lives. ”

"Since the cold god knows everything in the north, how could he let us destroy his altar?" said Da Jili coldly.

Hearing that Little Will was going to be sent to the land of eternal winter, Big Gilly's heart suddenly lifted, and the two of them were in their throats.

"It is true that the cold god knows everything about the north, but he cannot know about our affairs. Jiu Jian said calmly, "The cold god is not a green prophet, he doesn't know anything about the future, he can only know the memories of the past and what is happening now. ”

"So we have a meeting here today, and the cold god knows?" said Robb.

"If he deliberately comes to reconnoitre, for example, through the mountain eagle, through the raven. Jiujian glanced at the raven on the windowsill, "Then he'll know." ”

"If he can know our whereabouts through ravens and mountain eagles, how can we go to the Land of Eternal Winter to find its altar?"

"No god can reconnoiter and cover his territory in all directions, whether he is a cold god or a red god, and my ability is just enough to restrain the will of the cold god. I can also peep into some of the things he can predict, so the next step is the time to fight for wisdom. ”

"I don't understand. Jon said.

"You don't need to understand a lot of things. "Jon, you don't need to understand the blacksmith's business, because you're not a blacksmith, you don't need to understand the matter of having a child, because you're not a woman, and do your own thing, Jon, foreknowledge and planning, and leave it to the people who will do it." “

"So what are you going to do?" asked Robb.

"The Night King only needs one man to sweep through our desperate wall, and if he wants to, he can attack tonight and kill us all. ”

"Then why didn't he do it?" asked Jaime.

"He wants us to gather all our forces here, and then fight to gain control of both continents, and plunge both continents into eternal night and winter. If he doesn't, it will take him a long time to take all of Westeros and Essos after he has won the Wall. ”

"The more troops we gathered, the happier he became, and that actually helped him speed up his conquest?" Jaime said.

"Yes!"

"Then what if we tell Her Majesty Queen Daenerys not to come?"

"Then we will be safe until the day when the Night King finally loses his patience. ”

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Will also didn't expect that the painstaking efforts to conquer the Essos continent were actually helping the Night King lay down the country, so that he could unify the two continents at once.

"Well, Prophet, what should we do now?"

"Pick the right person and prepare to go north to the land of eternal winter. Jiujian said.

"Well, then, prophet, I think you must have someone in your plan. Jaime said.

"Yes, I do have a list. Jiujian pulled out a roll of parchment from his bosom and handed it to Will.

Will opened it and saw that the expedition team was as follows: Will Jr., Jojin Reed, Melisandre, Jaime, Shanna, Jingle Bell, and Bunyan Stark.

"Just a few people?" Will felt that the number was too small.

"Yes, these are the people. ”

Big Gilly reaches out to Will, who is Little Will's mother and has the right to know who protects Little Will.

Will handed the letter to Big Gilly.

Big Jili looked at it: "Lord Prophet, I want to accompany my son." ”

"You can't go. Jiujian said.

"Why?"

Jiujian glanced at Will and was silent.

Will said, "Big Gilly, I'll talk about that later." ”

Robb said, "When will the expedition team leave?Which way to go?How to destroy the Altar of the Cold God?If the Cold God senses your invasion, how do you retreat, who will support the legion, and how will the Cold God deal with the Cold God himself?"

Jiu Jian said: "The cold god is not terrible. ”

The eyes of everyone were shocked, but only Melisandre's expression remained the same.

"I'm the Green Prophet, and I know something about your past, present, and future, but can I compete with Master Jaime in swordsmanship? No, can I compare with Master Robb in marksmanship? No, can I compare riding with Mance Red, and even more. Can I compare archery skills with Big Gilly, I'll only be shot by her. The same is true of the god of cold, he himself can forge the Night King, create the Stranger, and give the Stranger the ability to resurrect the dead, but he himself is like the Green Prophet, fragile, or rather, invisible. He can't attack any of us directly, his hands are the Night King, and his weapons are Wraiths and Ghouls. “

Will said, "I understand that the expedition will not go north until the Night King has come to attack us with the Wraiths and Ghouls. ”

"Yes. The only way to destroy the Altar of the Cold God is to wait for the Night King to lead the Strangers and Ghouls to attack the Great Wall, and in order to keep him further away from the Land of Eternal Winter, we need to lure the Night King south until we destroy the Altar of the Cold God. ”

Jon Targaryen nodded, "I think I've got it." “

Robb thought carefully: "Lord Prophet, how are they going to evacuate after Little Will succeeds?"

"With griffins!" said Will.

"Dragons should also be added. Big Jili said. She made up her mind that she must go to the land of eternal winter, she must accompany her son all the way, she has this power, and the Green Prophet cannot stop it.

Jiujian said, "We actually have time now, as long as there is one place where the legions are not in place, the Night King will not attack. ”

"It seems that all the initiative is in our hands. Robb said.

"I don't understand why the more people we have, the faster we lose. Shanna said.

"Every warrior who dies in battle is a soldier of the Night King. We have a million warriors, and 500,000 have been killed, and we have reduced our power by 500,000, but the Night King has increased by 500,000. The more men we have, the stronger his forces will be. But in fact, all our forces, no matter how strong, are no match for the Night King's forces. How many people and beasts have died over the centuries inside and outside our Great Wall, and when the Night King comes, these people and beasts from the past will crawl out of the land of death and join the army of ghouls. “

Everyone was amazed.

"From the Great Wall to Winterfell, on all the lands, how many people have died, how many beasts, how many birds, those who have died, as long as there are bones, they will rise from the ground and fight us. When the time comes, it may be your grandfather, your great-grandfather, or a more respected ancestor of your family who will hold your neck with both hands. If we had one soldier, the Night King would be able to find ten soldiers from our field. “

Everyone was silent.

"Think about it, how many graves are there in the Hearth, and how many commoners' graves are outside? In the crypts of the Amber family, the ancestors will all crawl out of the ground and fight to the death with the Amber family. If we retreat to Winterfell in defeat, if Jon Targaryen's sword is raised and finds that it is his mother, and she crawls out of the cellar where she was buried, Jon Targaryen, can you cut down this sword?"

Jon Targaryen stammered, speechless.

"Cut it down, and your mother's bones will be gone. Set fire to her? You can't do it. ”

The atmosphere in the shield hall was suddenly heavy.

"Robb too, what about you when we get back to Winterfell and the Night King chases you and Eddard Stark crawls out of the crypt with a weapon in hand?"

Robb couldn't answer.

"That's why I say that the Night King only needs him alone to defeat us. for his soldiers are in our land, and everywhere in the earth there are his soldiers. But we can't have so many soldiers, on the contrary, we have more soldiers, the more disadvantageous it is to ourselves. Our soldiers will be damaged in battle, and the battle damage is to replenish the forces of the Night King. “

"I can't imagine that all of our former slaves have gone in the direction. Will said.

"No, there is also a benefit, which is that the Night King is willing to wait, waiting for all our forces to concentrate on the Great Wall, this is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity for us. ”
