Chapter 0841: Jon's True Colors: The Strange Ghost Strikes
The three Targaryens gathered, and what they talked about? No one knew, and it wasn't until dawn that they walked out of the shield hall. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā
Aemon Targaryen was helped out by Jon and Daenerys. His blind eyes looked at the sky, and his expression was calm and calm.
Downstairs in the shield hall, there were quite a few people standing, one of whom caught Daenerys' attention with her flaming red hair, it was a girl with a different face than the others. Based on her little experience, Daenerys still accurately judged that the girl was from the free people in the north of the desperate Great Wall.
Daenerys sensed the girl's hidden hostility.
She looked at Jon. As the girl watches Jon's gaze soften, Daenerys understands the source of the girl's hostility towards her.
The girl sees her as a potential rival.
"The girl doesn't deserve Jon. That was Daenerys' first thought.
The girl is thin, her teeth are not straight, and her facial features are not exquisite. The red hair was like a flame, but it was dry and dull. Ordinary appearances aside, the blood of a girl from among the free people of the North is not noble.
Jon is the son of Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, and his mother is also the jewel of Lord Stark's palm, and his noble ancient blood is his pride.
How could an ordinary girl from the north win the respect of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms? That is absolutely impossible!
If, after the Aliens, the Terrans win, and Daenerys pushes Jon and Shireen to fight for the Iron Throne, Jon's other half of the bloodline will become very important.
If Jon marries an ordinary girl from the northern 'wildling' tribe, his own noble status will inevitably be implicated, even if the great nobles of the Seven Kingdoms submit to the Targaryens, but it is absolutely impossible for you to make those proud nobles also submit to the red-haired girl. No matter what!
Lord Will and Arya were surrounded by the crowd and made their way to the Hall of Shields.
As soon as Will arrived, officers large and small began to arrive.
After a short while, many people gathered downstairs in the shield hall.
More officers are coming.
Will said, "Maester Amon, Daenerys, I need you here to witness the beginning of Jon Snow's use of his real name. When the nearby leaders arrive, I'll reveal Jon Snow's true identity, Jon Targaryen. “
Maester Aemon didn't answer Will's words, he just nodded, staring blindly into the void, as if something intractable was bothering his brow.
Daenerys said, "Lord Will, I will join Grandfather Aemon in witnessing Jon's return to himself as Jon Targaryen. ”
Half an hour later, Will announced Jon Snow's true identity to the generals gathered in the shield hall, and Jon abandoned Jon Snow's bastard name and became Jon Targaryen again.
Jon Targaryen faced the scrutinizing and complicated gazes of many generals, and said calmly, "My lords, although my name is Jon Targaryen, I am a true night watchman, like my great-grandfather Aemon Targaryen. The family feuds with the Targaryens, the rise and fall of the royal family, the power of the Seven Kingdoms, and the battle for the Iron Throne have nothing to do with a true and complete Night's Watch. The Night's Watch are the shield of the kingdom, the clarion call to awaken the sleepers, and they will dedicate their lives to the honor of the Night's Watch, fighting against strong enemies outside and rebellions at home, and under the leadership of Lord Will, I will always be a part of the Night's Watch as before, and I will follow the example of my great-grandfather, Maester Amon, and dedicate my life to the Great Wall of Desperation, until my death. ”
Rumble!
Applause!
Arya also applauds Jon Targaryen.
The relationship between the two siblings is the best. This time, Jon was able to learn the truth about his identity, and it was also Arya's great efforts.
Firekiss Ygritte clapped desperately. Her fears vanished. Although Jon is already a royal bloodliner, he is still the Jon who waited for her stupidly in the snow, he is still the Jon who was not bewitched by the 'enchantment', and he is still the Jon who belongs to her.
That's enough!
It doesn't matter if he's a prince or a commoner, as long as he's Jon who belongs to him, that's enough!
Ygritte's demands were very simple, whether they were alive or dead, whether they were princes or commoners, whether they were prisoners or leaders, as long as there were each other, it was enough. All the great and small evils, wealth and prosperity in the world have nothing to do with them.
Between heaven and earth, there is only each other!
The first line of defense of the Great Wall of Desperation, the Ancestral Fist Peak.
A tall watchtower was built on the peak of the ancestors' fist, and the prefects on duty here rotated every twenty days. This time, the duty commander was Sandor Clegane, the hound, and Daisy Mormont, who was both civil and military.
The Hound represents the commander of the Night's Watch Legion, and Daisy Mormont represents the commander of the noble coalition. There was also a prefect from the Free People, who was the giant Margo who rode a mammoth.
There are more than 300 giants, and there will be 100 giants at the forefront of each rotation. In the rear, there are more than 200 giants as a reserve force.
The real defense is on the Great Wall, where the Ancestral Fist Peak defense line is the most important place to destroy the enemy ghouls in the first place.
Enemies distinguish between ghosts and ghouls. The Wraiths are not afraid of ordinary flames, they are centurions, millurions, and generals of ghouls. Ghouls are soldiers of the Stranger.
Ghouls are most afraid of fire, they seem to be undead creatures made of fire oil, and a little spark can make them instantly burn into a large fireball, and then disappear.
Therefore, at the foot of the Ancestors' Fist Peak, along the river of the Seine Mountains, on the south bank, there is a fire oil ditch more than 20 miles long. This oil ditch is a military stronghold that kills most of the ghoul soldiers.
The twenty-mile-long Huoyou ditch was maintained and monitored by two thousand cavalry along the line.
Two thousand cavalry, one thousand of which consisted of freeman cavalry outside the Cypriots, and the other thousand of which were legions of the Night's Watch. The Night's Watch Legion is divided into three important constituent legions, more than 300 cavalry from the aristocratic coalition, more than 300 rangers from the Night's Watch lineage, and more than 300 cavalry from the Wolf Forest Mountain Range.
The army of 2,000 cavalry plus 100 giant mammoth soldiers was led by Sandor Clegane, the hound, and the lieutenants were Daisy Mormont and Marg, the leader of the giants.
One hundred giants were scattered behind the twenty-mile-long Huoyou ditch, mixed with the cavalry. The giants can't see far, but their nostrils are their forte, and they can easily sniff out danger and odors in the air.
On the easternmost side of the ditch of fire oil, there was a mixed cavalry of thirty men, and among the thirty cavalry were three giants on mammoths.
Mammoths are the least afraid of the cold of the northern elephants, and their long fur serves as a quilt for the giants to keep warm.
In the cavalry team that was patrolling according to the crossover route that had been designed long ago, the nostrils of the three giants turned to the sky at the same time, and they made a fierce sniffing motion.
"Alert!" shouted Cavalry Captain Hogg.
Chapter 0842 Strange Ghost Attack: Giant Stone Bullet
Captain Hogg shouted a vigilance, and the thirty cavalrymen immediately circled their horses and formed a circular formation.
Boom!
The sword is unsheathed!
The warriors stared at the snowy earth in front of them, not daring to slack off.
The three giants were still sniffing, and one of them let out a low roar and held out his finger for directions. Thus, the circular formation of the cavalry team turned into a sharp knife formation, aimed in the direction of the coming danger.
The giant roared, and it was the giant's order to go to war.
Three giants, the largest of which is the leader.
Although the giants only learned the tactical cooperation after entering the Great Wall of Despair, they also have a good appearance.
So, even though not a single enemy was visible, Hogg blew the warning whistle.
The piercing power of the Iron Sentry reached the nearest Ranger team. There were also three giants with particularly nimble noses in this group, and they immediately took out large wooden sticks, to which boulders were tied, and when the giants rode on the mammoths, the faster rangers had already set off.
As a result, the sound of the iron whistle immediately spread to the next station.
In the woods, the penetrating power of the iron whistle can quickly spread the enemy's situation across the twenty-mile-long battle line, and reach the commander's base camp under the Ancestral Fist Peak as quickly as possible.
Captain Hogg immediately removed the longbow from his back, drew his bow and aimed it into the air.
The giant took the first hand, and the rod was tied to the front of the boulder, but in addition to the boulder, there was a net pouch connected by a rope.
Another giant took out a black round stone ball from the mammoth's pannier, this stone ball that had been hollowed out by a stonemason, and filled it with solid wildfire, which was sealed with water. Because the weather was too cold, the water was poured and sealed, and it immediately solidified into ice, so the wildfire material was firmly imprisoned in the stone ball.
Then, the stone ball is placed in the water mixed with the wildfire and rolled again, and when it is taken out, the surface of the stone ball is covered with water, and as soon as it leaves the pool, the surface of the stone ball immediately solidifies into ice, and the wildfire material is firmly frozen.
Wildstone balls are designed in two types, one with leads and one without leads.
The finished product of the wildfire ball with a lead is a lead pulled out of the core of the stone ball, which is still sealed with water, and uses the power of the cold weather to instantly freeze the dry powder wildfire material in the stone ball, and then ignites the lead and throws the stone ball with a trebuchet to bombard the ice on the Kaiseen River, so as to block the path of the strangers and ghouls with the power of the water.
The wildstone bullets placed in the panniers of Hogg's group of three mammoths had no leads.
The surface of the wildfire bomb without a lead is covered with wildfires with very unstable properties, but because the water mixes together, the water freezes instantly, and the unstable wildfire material is stabilized.
But this stability is also very limited.
When the giant threw a wildfire projectile from the net pocket in front of the giant's big wooden stick, the stone projectile flew to the highest point, and a rocket slammed into the stone projectile like a meteor lightning.
The triangular iron head of the rocket was inserted into the shallow layer of the stone projectile, and the violent impact of the iron and the stone activated the wildfire material on the surface of the stone bullet, and the flames on the rocket ignited, and in an instant, the stone bullet turned into a green fireball in the air.
Once a wildfire burns, it cannot be extinguished even if it is thrown in water.
If it is dropped on a stone, the wildfire will burn on the stone, and if it is thrown on steel, the wildfire will burn on the steel. The only thing that can extinguish wildfires is yellow sand.
But on the snow-capped earth, the most is snow and ice, and there is absolutely not a grain of yellow sand to be found.
The wildstone bullet turned into a green fireball and fell on a blanket of snow in front of it.
The Green Flame Stone Bullet does not explode in the air immediately, it takes time to melt the ice that seals the stone bullet hole, but it will never go out no matter how it rolls and falls in the wind and snow.
Rumble!
The green flint bullets smashed into the snow and were buried deep in the snow, so they couldn't be seen, but Hogg and the other rangers and giants knew that the wildfire bullets would never go out.
The second and third stone projectiles continued to be thrown, this time on the left and right sides of the previous stone projectile, but the distance was farther and more backward.
Three wildstone bombs form a fret.
Rumble!
The first wildstone bomb exploded, and green flames and gray-black stone chips mixed with wind and snow flew all over the sky, forming a huge circular field covered with green flames.
In the wind and snow that was set off by the explosion of the stone bomb, three frost human bodies appeared—strange ghosts.
Each of the strangers carried a transparent frost sword in their hands. Their eyes are ice blue, and they are ethereal.
Wildfires fell on them.
Wildfires cannot be extinguished.
Burning in their bodies.
Hogg gave the order to prepare for battle.
The warriors all saw the three strangers dressed in green fire, but the three giants could not.
Giants are short-sighted, but their sensitive noses can smell the scent of strangers and ghouls.
It was a breath that was completely different from any living being.
The giant urged the mammoths and lined up on the left, center, and right sides of the cavalry ranks.
The huge wooden sticks in their hands were raised, and a threatening sound came from their throats.
Facing a small group of strange ghosts, attacking separately and in combination is a daily training lesson for the cavalry.
But judging from the location where the three stone bullets fell, the strange ghost also carried out a combined attack.
When human beings are carrying out rigorous and brain-racking training against the ghosts, are they also making corresponding changes and progress on the side of the ghosts?
From this situation, the answer is yes!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Two more violent explosions.
The green flames stirred with the snow and ice chips, blasting out the other six wraiths lurking in the ice.
In the first joint battle between the human race and humanoid life, the giants played a huge role. In some ways, the invincible giants also played a role in the partial and complete destruction.
A giant, a boulder on a large wooden stick, can smash a wrath into ice chips with a maximum of two clicks.
Eight thousand years ago, in the joint operations of human race and humanoid life, many valuable things were left behind on and outside the Great Wall. The forging of the Valyrian Steel Sword and the Horn of Winter to awaken the sleeping giants of the Icy Mountains are all left to prepare for the war between humans and ghosts in this century.
A total of nine strange ghosts appeared in the ice and snow amid the explosion of wildstone bullets.
The wildfire that fell on him was a flame that the stranger could not extinguish.
Green wildfires, if not extinguished by yellow sand, are steel that burns through a hole.
The bodies of the nine strangers were more or less wildfired, and the green flames burned on the strangers.
Nine strange ghosts uttered strange syllables and pounced on the cavalry from three directions.
They will be burned to death by wildfire, but it will take time.
Before dying, the Frost Sword in their hands will find them the pleasure of drinking blood.
