Chapter 0509: The Griffin Is Growing
Westeros still has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
It's just that the four seasons are not all year round.
It's a season and many years.
One summer, 11 years have passed.
The 11-year-long summer brings abundant food reserves for the winter.
Summer is a season of abundance.
Bran Stark has only experienced one season since he was born and is nine years old: summer.
Now summer has just passed, and autumn has arrived.
This fall has been calculated by the Old Town Scholars to be a short fall.
A short autumn, maybe a year, maybe two years, maybe three years. No matter how short the autumn is, it won't be just a few months. Generally speaking, the short autumn falls are more than a year long.
Based on the seasons and the number of people who are attacking, Will has his own judgment on this battle.
The army of strangers did not pour out!
They will come out of their nests when autumn passes, winter comes, and the long night arrives, sweeping away Westeros in one fell swoop.
Most of the troops who came this time were tentative attacks.
Zheng!
In the sky outside the tent, the sound of gold and iron filled the heavens and the earth.
Will's two griffons were even larger, and their voices alone were full of murderous intent.
It was not the first time that the warhorses in the woods had heard the griffon's chirp, they were well trained, but they were still uneasy and gently kicking the ground.
The cavalrymen gently patted their comrades under their crotches to soothe their uneasy emotions.
Will's griffons grew up from small to large, and the Legion's warhorses already had experience getting along.
It's just that the majesty of the king is still oppressive.
Horses are one of the griffins' favorite food.
It's in the nature of war horses to be afraid of griffins!
The golden fluff of the elder brother Blaze has grown like the hair of a lion, and the hair on his head and wings has been replaced by golden eagle feathers. In the middle of its chest, a round white hair is evenly interspersed with golden hairs, and from a distance, it looks like it has a white eye glowing with colorful gold threads.
Flame's flesh-colored body turned into a golden skin of steel, and the translucent skin completely disappeared.
Often the lion's tail resembles a golden whip.
Its eyes are even more flaming golden yellow, and its sharp eyes are flashing, and there will be a faint dazzling color, like a dream.
The skin of the younger sister Blue Crystal is bronze, as if it was made of steel, it is much smaller than the body of the elder brother Flame, and its eyes are ice crystal blue, like clear blue water.
All the beasts in the forest are food for flames and blue crystals: the white bear, the agile timberwolf, the ferocious ice wolf, and the lone king shadow lynx, are all delicious things they hunt.
Of course, their favorite is the horse.
A whole horse is enough for two brothers and sisters to pack two meals.
The two guys were teenagers, flew at incredible speeds, learned the art of hunting, and were very agile and lightning-fast in their way through the dense woods. Eat the same amount of food as your weight at each meal. Their claws are very sharp, ruthlessly black, usually hidden in soft cushions, and when attacking prey, their long claws will only stick out, like iron hooks.
Their beaks are long, like short swords, and they can easily peck through the body of a tiger or leopard, and their claws extend out to pull out the belly of the tiger and leopard.
Blaze and Aquamarine's sense of hearing and sight are acute, they fly in the sky and know everything on the ground, the sound of a man's voice or a hare burrowing into the grass.
As they blinked, a faint glow flickered.
The tent shook twice in succession, and the two griffons landed on top of the tent, and the big tent shook gently.
Will and the others in the tent all looked up at the top of their heads.
Luckily, the griffon's claws naturally shrank into its thick cushion as it fell, and Will wasn't worried that the griffon's claws would tear through the canvas of the tent.
It's just that the two little ones are heavier, and if they continue, they can't be allowed to fall on the tent.
Will motioned for the guards to chase away the flames and azurone.
The two little ones flapped their wings from time to time and walked around the top of the tent, and the sound of the wind rolling up their wings and the shaking of the tent affected everyone's speech in the tent.
The griffon is a very proud flying beast, and even the training to scold and scold him will not work.
Black, Able, Podrick Pike, and the others were ordered to fetch horse meat, which was food for the two siblings, though they preferred to eat live horses.
Zheng Zheng!
Zheng Zheng Zheng!
Heiya and the others made a sound in their mouths, waved horse meat in their hands, and the flames and blue crystals flew down, and they went to the big wooden basin to grab food.
Because horses are precious, even if they are sick or injured, they are comrades-in-arms of the cavalry, so Blaze and Azubra rarely eat horse meat, and they now like to eat sheep.
Sheep is second only to horse meat as a delicacy.
However, for natural carnivores, they eat everything they can kill.
Blackgirl, Podrick, and the other guards didn't dare to approach the eating flames and azurite, and they didn't have a gentle side to anyone except their master, Will.
Griffons are loyal flying beasts and the proudest of all, and they are arrogant to everyone but their masters. Feeding them food won't get them to you in exchange for their affection for you. They just don't hate you!
The meeting in the tent lasted until the evening, and at last everyone understood their mission, and Mance Rader and Severed Hands Colin became the chief and deputy commanders, and the two men were in charge of the military command of the battle, Severed Hands Colin was the commander-in-chief, and Mance Red advised him and commanded his clan leaders.
Will had his own arrangements.
The death squads to hunt the ghouls deep into the Thun Mountains have also been formed: the undead knight Bunyan Stark and Gale the Mouse, the female leader of the Freedmen, Jackhead Doghead, the giant nemesis Tormond and Will and his two griffons, who can barely ride for the time being, and the support cavalry behind is led by Tyron Ash, with Hound as his deputy.
This time, there was not one, but more than ten.
For a world that is backward in information, Will has come up with a very practical way to spread the word.
The griffons are also growing, and although they can't ride long distances, they will have no problem using them to carry a small number of ghouls.
That night, the first team set out, with the undead knight Bunyan Stark and Gale the Mouse leading the way, followed by Doghead Hambold and Giant Nemesis Tormond, who knew more about the Thern Mountains than any of the Ranger officers, so they were given the honor.
Will and the two griffons set off as well.
The first team will go deep into the Sean Mountains, while the second team will be the elite cavalry led by Tyren Ash and the Hound and will only wait at the entrance to the Milk River Gorge and will not be allowed to enter the interior of the Sean Mountains.
The team set out early the next morning, and that evening the hounds went to ask Master Coben for a cage of ravens just in case.
