Chapter 0995: Winter has arrived

Will leads the army north and walks out of King's Landing, and the first snowflakes fall from the sky.

Then, the snowflakes fluttered.

The gloomy sky, cascading clouds, and falling snowflakes make people feel depressed.

Everybody, looking up at the sky.

Will held out his hand, and a snowflake fell into his palm.

No matter who it was, as powerful as Tyronn Ash, they all had a solemn expression and a heavy heart.

"Winter is coming!" Jaime smiled, his smile losing its former ease, a bit suppressed and serious.

"Winter is coming!" Arya said, looking up at the sky.

"Winter is coming, my lord!" said Kobold reached out and took Tyron Ash's hand.

Taryn Ash looked at the bulging belly of the dog-headed Harb, "Winter has come, Harry, will you go to Dorne? ”

Martell of Dorne has surrendered, unable to walk on his legs, a good man that both Tyronn Ash and Will can trust.

"We are northerners, and children must be born in the snow and ice. Harry said.

Harry had seven brothers, all of whom were tribal warriors.

Marz smiled: "Sister, this winter is different from the previous winters, I still suggest listening to my brother-in-law's words and giving birth to the child in Dorne." ”

"Winter is here, and it will snow in Dorne. Westeros, full of ice and snow. The other brother said solemnly.

"I'd like to talk about where to have a baby after Will-sama and Miss Arya's wedding. Harry said.

"Winter is here, sister, and I'm sure Lord Will will want you to give birth to a child in Dorne, not in the North. This winter is different from all the previous winters. Another brother reminded.

Will turned his head, looked at the soldiers beside him, and said loudly: "Brothers and sisters, winter has come, let's go!"

"Ho!" the brothers roared.

Bang!

One of the brothers drew his short sword and struck it on his chest armor.

Boom!

The second brother drew his sword and struck it on his shield.

Soon, all the brothers drew their weapons and beat their shields or chest armor, which matched the rhythm of the march, and the roar of Xiao killed sounded.

This sound is the beating of the drums of war.

King's Landing. Meggor House.

Olenna Hadrel accompanies Queen Shireen Baratheon.

Both looked up at the sky.

Snowflakes, falling gently.

The whole city was shrouded in a faint snowflake.

"Winter has arrived, Your Majesty. Olenna tightened her cloak and felt a sudden chill, "Your Majesty, are you cold?"

"Thank you Madame for your concern, I'm not cold!"

Shireen's half-gray-scaled face didn't look scary. Olenna sensed something strange about Shireen's voice.

"Come, bring a cloak for Her Majesty. ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

Olenna is the head of the court of Queen Shireen and appointed by Lord Will.

"Madame, I'm not cold, I'm just, excited. Shireen watched the snowflakes fall, "This is my first time in winter, and the first time I've seen snowflakes." “

"The minister has spent many winters. "But this winter is different from all winters. ”

"We will be witnesses and experiencers of history, as well as creators of history. The university scholar beside Shireen said respectfully.

"The bachelor said yes. Lady Olenna said.

"Now that winter is here, we welcome it. Her Majesty Shireen said, "Whether it's a stranger or a ghoul, then come on, I think I'm mentally prepared, are you ready?"

Olenna and the Bachelor looked at each other, and Lady Olena said honestly, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm not ready. ”

"I beg your Majesty's pardon, and so do I. The scholar said.

"Then come with me to get ready for winter, Lady Olenna, and can you inform Commander Bran Stark?"

"Of course, Your Majesty. ”

The head of the court is responsible for uploading and issuing orders for the king.

Bran Stark soon made it to the top floor of Meggor Tower, dressed in black chain mail and a black cloak. The black cloak and black armor were the traditional attire of His Majesty Stannis's garrison.

"Winter has arrived, Commander Bran. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, winter has arrived. ”

"Commander Bran, get ready, I'll be leaving for the North in half a month, to Winterfell. Shireen said.

"Your Majesty, Lord Will told me when he left King's Landing today, that there is a strange movement in the north, and the north has entered a state of war, so it is not appropriate for your majesty to go to the north. ”

"No, I've made up my mind, just get ready. ”

“...... Be...... Your Majesty. ”

"Lady Olenna, scholars, all of you are ready to come with me to Winterfell. Her Majesty Shireen said.

Lady Olenna and the scholar had a hard face.

Lady Olenna said, "Your Majesty, winter has come, and it is not appropriate to go north. Militarily, Lord Will is ready for everything, and if we go to Winterfell, if the Great Wall fails to hold and the army retreats to the defensive line, we will become a burden to the army. ”

"I have made up my mind, in half a month, I must go north, and you are all ready. In this matter, there can be no more courtiers to persuade him. “

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Madame, inform Sir Barristan Selmy that the Kingsguard will travel with him. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Dorne. Halberd City.

Doran Martell sat by the window by the sea, followed by his captain of the guard, Hota.

"It's snowing. Michiro's astonished voice, "Winter has arrived?!"

"Yes, sir. This time, it snowed even in the south. He Ta said, his voice low, "What do you think about what Lord Will said about the attack of strange ghosts?"

"You want to go north?" said Michiro, looking back at He Ta.

"My lord, I have served you for twenty years, winter is coming, the human race is in danger, as a samurai, I hope to die on the battlefield. ”

"If you want to go, go. ”

"But who will take care of you, adults?"

"Don't worry about this, I ......"

"I'll take care of the adults. A woman's voice said. Enter, Jonessa Bremont, the prefect of Dorne and a one-year term at the helm of Dorne alongside Lord Martell.

"Janessa Brammon, I know you have someone in your heart, and if you want to go to the North too, I can run Dorne alone. Martell smiled.

"I'll push the wheelchair for the adults. "Laura Blemont came in, dignified and elegant.

Michiro smiled, "Lady Laura, can I invite you to handle the affairs of Dorne together?"

"If Michiro-sama looks up to me, Laura is deeply honored. ”

Dorou smiled: "Janessa Bramont, you see, if you want to go north, Lady Laura and I will deal with the affairs of Dorne, what else do you have to worry about." ”

"I am relieved that my mother's ability to handle government affairs is above mine. "Mother, winter is here, and I want to go to the North." ”

"Okay, I promise you. Lady Laura's eyes moistened.

The promise is simple, fluttering, but it may be goodbye.

Old Town. The Chapel of the Stars.

Colbert Coffey Franklin stood at the top of the Bachelor's Tower, surrounded by dozens of scholars, all looking at the sky, and in the sky, snowflakes were falling.

"Winter has arrived, fellow gentlemen. Coffey sighed and said, his voice heavy.

Everyone was depressed.

For a long time, none of the scholars spoke.

Footsteps sounded, and Windsor Tarbor, a bachelor of occultism, came up to the top of the tower and looked at the fluttering snowflakes, and dozens of scholars were watching him. In the City of Scholars, Masters of the Occult are most despised by the other Bachelors, and in the Church of the Stars, Masters of the Occult have the lowest status.

In the Church of the Stars, natural science, geographical science, physics, and technological inventions are revered rather than mystical religious studies and theology.

Windsor Tarber looked at Fellow Coffey and said, "Fellow, winter is coming, the time has come, can you give me the key?"

Windsor has asked for the key many times by a scholar at Winkofi, and this is the first time he has asked for a key in front of a university at the top of all the schools.

Maester Coffey said, "Maester Windsor, I think you are missing someone. “

"I'll go to the North, that guy will come to the North. ”

"I hope he will come to Old Town, and then I'll give you the key. ”

"Winter has come, Scholar Kofi, you will cause great calamity, and you will be ashamed of the Terrans. ”

"Nope. "The first snow is falling from the sky, and we still have time." ”

Windsor shook her head, looked at Coffey for a long time, and then turned to go downstairs.

The scholars looked at each other, not understanding what the conversation between the Coffey and Windsor scholars meant.

"Winter has arrived!" the Kofi scholar sighed deeply and slowly walked down to the top of the Bachelor's Tower. The scholars followed him, respectful.

Northland. Winterfell.

The weather was very cold, and the cold wind blew on the body like a knife. No matter how thick the mink is worn, it seems that it cannot withstand the invasion of the cold.

"Is winter coming?" said Sansa, as she roasted the fire, asking her mother, Caitlin Tully.

It snows all the time in the north, and it snows heavily, so it's hard to tell if autumn is over and winter is coming.

Bachelor Luwen put his hands in the bachelor's robe: "Miss, madam, I received the ravens from the Old Town Academy, and the scholars have calculated the day when winter is coming, which is today. Madame, Miss, winter has arrived!"

Sansa and Caitlin were stunned.

The room was warm and hot, but no one was talking.

This winter, unlike any previous winter, may be the last winter of the human race.

They're coming in the dead of winter!

Everyone in the North knows what 'they' mean.

"When is Lord Will coming to Winterfell?" said the maester softly.

"They set off today, with an army of 30,000 in the early stage, and an endless stream of troops from all over the Seven Kingdoms in the back, all of whom came to Winter City to get them together. ”

"Ma'am, it's time to think about where we should go?" said Maester Ruwen.

"We're staying in Winterfell and not going anywhere. Caitlin Tully said.

"Yes, this is our home. Sansa said.

Sansa's sister-in-law, Jenny Westerling, looked at the firelight: "Mother, sister Sansa, we women are not going into battle to kill strange ghosts, and it may not be wise to stay in Winterfell. If the Great Wall of Desperation is lost, the army and the common people will inevitably retreat, and when the time comes, the roads will be congested, and Lord Will and Robb will have to be distracted to take care of us. ”

Janie's father, Earl Gavin Westerling, said: "Madam, Lord Will will set up a second line of defense in Winterfell and a third line of defense in Carline Bay, and I think that when Lord Will comes to Winterfell, we should be prepared to retreat, not by ourselves, but also by taking the men, women, and children who cannot fight, and retreat outside Carline Bay first. ”

"We can stay in the Twin Cities of the Frey family for the time being. "All you need is a raven, Madame, and tell the Freys in advance." ”

"Then wait until Lord Will arrives in Winterfell. There is still a desperate wall to stop the strange spirits, and we have plenty of time to leave. Caitlin said.

"Mother, we can't listen to stories about strange spirits crossing the Wall, but rather believe that the rumors are true. Jenny said, "For those of us who can't go to the battlefield, prepare to retreat in advance, and be foolproof." ”

The Great Wall of Desperation. Black Castle.

The snow was blowing and flying like goose feathers. Thirty meters away, it was impossible to see the figure clearly. Last night, snow had piled up to the knees on the ground, and the brothers got up early in the morning to shovel the snow to make sure that the connecting roads of the nineteen military forts would not interfere with the cavalry's run.

The snow fell heavily, but there were more people shoveling the snow. Before the snowflakes could accumulate, they were shoveled away. The snowmobile is responsible for pulling the snow far away into the field for dumping. In the section of the road where Donghaiwang is located, all the snow is poured into the sea.

Jon Snow takes care of the affairs of the King's Tower in Castle Black. If heavy snow continues, all the brothers stationed outside the Great Wall of Desperation will have to retreat. Otherwise, those brothers will all freeze to death.

According to Samwell's information, the snow will be several meters thick in the first month of winter, and after three months, the snow will be more than ten meters thick, and anyone who enters the snow will be submerged.

The 19 military fortresses of the Great Wall of Desperation will only be able to communicate in the underground passages. On the ground, there are no more human tracks.

This will cause huge problems for the guards of the Great Wall of Desperation. At the top of the Great Wall, it will become slippery. The grips of all kinds of weapons, all metal, must be wrapped with cloth belts.

Jon Targaryen (Snow) understands: winter has arrived!

And even more terrible than the snow and cold are the strange ghosts forged by the ice and snow. They will come in the snow, and suddenly come out of the snow and come to you, and plunge the sword forged by the ice into your hot chest.

Cocoa, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Robb Stark and Samwell walked in.

"Brother, winter is coming!" Robb lifted his hood, his face already frozen purple.

"Winter is coming!" Jon said.

Samwell breathed white air from his mouth, and a white mist lingered around the tip of his nose. People who are too obese can easily gasp for breath when they walk around in the snow and bone-chilling cold.

"Commander, we have calculated that this heavy snowfall will take about a month and a half, and the snow on the ground will reach twenty meters thick by then. Winter, the real one is coming. ”

Jon looked at Robb with a grim expression: "Lord Robb, all the brothers stationed outside must all be withdrawn. ”

"Some of them have already returned, and some of them are on their way back. ”

Robb said, "Ancestor Fist Peak, you must leave your brother to guard the fire oil defense line. ”

"No, the brothers of the Ancestral Fist Peak must also be withdrawn, and all the brothers outside, not a single one is left, all of them must be withdrawn. Lord Robb, this is a military order. ”
