Chapter 1020: Immortality: Open the Door

The battlefield was cleaned for a whole day.

Obsidian arrows were collected and piled up in bundles.

Most arrows still work.

Valyrian steel swords were also found one by one, and each sword was not broken.

The cold and sharp are still there.

Hundreds of Valyrian steel swords have been re-placed in the shield hall of Castle Black, waiting for their new owners.

Hundreds of seven-story corpse platforms were erected in a single day, and each layer was piled up with the corpses of their comrades.

The corpses of Asha Greyjoy, Daisy Mormont, Robert Royce, Donald, Gendry, the leader of the freedmen, Gna, thousands of knights, hundreds of generals, and tens of thousands of warriors were piled up in a long dragon like battlements.

Nearly 20,000 soldiers stood in front of these comrades, and each corpse platform had three torches.

The forest from Castle Black to Mole Village has been cut down to make a road, and the woods near the Great Wall have been nearly cut down.

Nearly 20,000 knives have been cut down, and no forest can withstand such felling.

Will and Jaime were badly injured, and Jaime was able to stand with the help of others, and Will was able to stand in front of him, his face was pale and his lips seemed to be frosted.

The dangers of being slashed by the ice sword became apparent, and frostbite damaged the muscles, freezing all the muscles of the wound to death.

The Bachelors are still trying to treat it by all means, and at the moment, it will take a long time to recover.

Of the three, Arya was the least injured, and the ice sword only sliced through the skin of her left arm, but it still made her left arm as if it had been cut off.

Cold, extreme cold, is another kind of blade.

As the sun set, in front of the army, Will, James, Arya, Jon, Robb, and Mance stood on the high platform.

"No one wants to watch our brothers go away, and many of them are not the Night's Watch of the Wall, they have not taken the Night's Watch oath, but today, I will recite the Night's Watch oath to them, and they are worthy of it, and they are worthy of this supreme glory." ”

"All the brothers here, human and humanoid life should remember their names, we will keep them in our hearts forever, our bachelors, will engrave them in the annals of the history of the continent, no matter how many years have passed, their bravery today will always be remembered by mankind, they are well-deserved heroes, we are all honored, we are all honored to fight side by side with them, they, whether we know them or not, are already our brothers, friends and comrades-in-arms, each of them, has been - immortal!"

The torch in Will's hand lit, and so did the torch in Jaime's hand, and then Arya, Jon, Robb, and Mance came down from the platform, and the cold wind howled, and the snow was flying, and in front of the army of black crushed was the corpse of black crushing......

Will came to the first corpse table, his eyes fell on the faces of Asha, Daisy, Gendry, Robert, Gna, and other generals, his throat choked, and he whispered to the long night, I will keep watch from now on......

Jaime beside him also recited until death......

The night watchman behind me chanted together, black cloak, cold face, I will not marry a wife, no fiefdom, no children.

Mance Red's eyes were red, the oath he had recited repeatedly, he was the freedman child raised by the Night's Watch at the Wall, and was the best Ranger at the Wall along with Colin the Broken Palm of the Shadow Tower, and now, the bodies of the Shadow Tower's Night's Watch brothers lay on the wood, two of them were his former comradesβ€”I will not wear a crown, and I will not fight for honor. I will do my duty and die in my life.

Severed Palm Colin stood by Mandon Red's side, he was one of the Night's Watch who had returned from Houguan Town after the Great War, and he was in charge of dealing with a brawl between the Free Folk and the Wolf Grove tribesmen, I am a sword in the dark, a guard on the Wall. I am the flame against the cold, the light at dawn......

Eventually, a myriad of voices came together to make an oath, and the voices converged into a torrent that crossed the Great Wall and reached the Ghost Forest to awaken the horn of the sleeper and protect the shield of the kingdom. I give my life and glory to the night watch, tonight, night and night.

Will looked around at his brothers, many of them had red eyes and tears pouring from their eyes, perhaps he was watching his family lie on the wood.

Will put the torch into the oil underneath the wood, and the oil burst into flames, crackling and burning into flames.

Block 2, Block 3, Tower 4, Tower 5...... Hundreds of corpses burned into flames, and black smoke rose into the sky, obscuring the low clouds and mist in this part of the Great Wall of Desperation, as if night had fallen in advance.

The sky was black smoke, and underground, there was a burning fire, and the light of the fire reflected the faces of nearly 20,000 soldiers, cold and hard as steel!

Outside the Ghost Forest, the Night King and his ice-like wife stared up at the black smoke in the sky.

"Will was clever enough to burn all the bodies before dark. The beautiful ice crystal woman whispered.

"Will is also half a Green Prophet, and I underestimate him. The Night King's face was like translucent frost, and his ice-blue eyes reflected his wife's peerless countenance.

"He found us?"

"Yes. ”

"Shouldn't we have sacrificed outside the tunnel gates of Castle Black? didn't we tell him we were here? Our sacrifice, though echoed by the god of cold, reminded Will that he had burned all our warriors. β€œ

"I only noticed Jiujian, and now I only notice him. ”

"Will you succeed tonight, foolish sons of the forest?"

"I don't see any other forces interfering. ”

"You think about it, the Frost Giants are hard to deal with. ”

"Why deal with it? The resurrected Frost Giants need to eat, they need to build their own Frost Kingdom, they have their own beliefs, and they will clash with the Terrans. For 10,000 years, giants and children of the forest have not been able to coexist peacefully with the human race. The Night King looked at the smoke slowly drifting overhead, "As long as the Great Wall falls, we will be unimpeded, and the tombs of the Seven Kingdoms are full of our warriors, as well as the tombs of the Frost Giants. ”

"I can't wait to see the Great Wall fall. The ice crystal woman said lightly. The sleeves of her white robe dragged to the ground, a cloak made of snowflakes. With a slight wave of her hand, the sleeves of her robe flew and the snowflakes flew, and she and the figures of the Night King disappeared into the snow and ice.

A faint figure appeared in the forest, followed by a second, and gradually the shadow appeared, one was Will's face, the other was Jiujian's face, Jiujian's figure became a physical person, more solid than Will's, the two figures glanced at each other, and with a bang, Will's figure drifted away, and Jiujian's figure shrank, and finally turned into a three-eyed crow, sweeping past where the Night King and his wife had stood......

The Great Wall of Despair, four hundred miles away, on the avenue, a horse galloped forward, black cloak, black hood, behind this horse, dozens of miles away, there were groups of freemen, tribesmen, and local residents who went south.

The entire land of the Five Hundred Miles of the Night's Watch was empty of ten rooms and nine empty, and the houses, towns, castles, and shops were almost all empty.

Last night's battle of the Great Wall, deafening, flames soared into the sky, the sound of tragic fighting spread dozens of miles away, early in the morning the news came, tens of thousands of soldiers died, thousands of knights died, the Great Wall has been unable to hold, the night watchman is thousands of miles long, five hundred miles wide, all the people must be evacuated, the target is the upper reaches of the river under the Kalin Bay in the south......

Along the way, there were many deserters, the freedmen had swords and guns, and hundreds of people were able to gather to protect themselves, and many lone soldiers mixed with the ranks of the common people were pulled out, tied up, and sent to the night watchman and freedman patrols who maintained law and order along the road.

Before the Great War began, every town had a patrol of the Night's Watch and the Freedmen. At the beginning of the flight, these patrols took on the role of escort and order.

However, many soldiers still escaped the net, and some groups of soldiers drew their swords and killed the patrols, seized the horses and fled first.

On the edge of the Night's Watch land and the territory of the Jon Amber family, before night fell, there appeared a horse ahead of all the deserters, a horse man with a superb horseman, a long sword at his waist, gloomy eyes, thin lips, he galloped wildly, the saddle of this horse and the number on the horse, at first glance the war horse of the night watchman patrol.

This man was either a night watchman or killed the night watchman and seized the horses. The scabbard of his long sword was inlaid with precious stones, his combat boots were also mink, and the black cloak and gloves on his body were all fine and high-end furs.

The cavalry hoped to enter Amber's territory before dark, so that it would be completely safe. Last night's battle, after cutting off the head of the first ghoul, he chose to retreat.

It was not a human being who could fight, and the ice-blue eyes, rotten hands, and half of the missing face all scared him to the point of regret.

This is not the place to be for glory. He found himself - too naΓ―ve!

No normal person would fight the dead, the nobleman shouted orders his men to resist, and then pulled back himself, and in the confusion, no one noticed, he rolled into the woods on the side, and then ran all the way.

He broke into the house of a common man, killed the man, and snatched a horse to start his escape south. By daybreak, he had left all the people behind, but it was not easy to avoid the increasingly patrolling Night's Watch and Freedmen, so he chose to ambush and kill a lone Night's Watch, then disguised himself as a Night's Watch herald heading south, and finally stumbled all the way to the edge of the Night's Watch's territory.

When it got dark, he got his wish and entered the territory of the Amber family. He was a very young man, who had led a thousand soldiers into the army of the North, who had a feared coat of arms skinner, and who had the name Rams Burton, who had been stripped of his bastard status.

As the night wore dark, Rams Burton's figure melted into the night, and an hour later his expensive black cloak was gone, replaced by a dusty tattered cloak, and rode into the Amber family's castle, Fireplace, as a freerider.

The black castle, the red candles seemed to be dripping with red tears, and in the flickering firelight, all the night watchmen and governors of all levels who were scattered on the land for five hundred miles returned to the black castle and stood at the long table.

"The Great Wall of Desperation is thousands of miles long, and there are nineteen military fortresses, and we can't hold such a long front. Jon looked at the map and said, "We've got to shrink our defenses. ”

"Shrink the line, we will be attacked on three sides. Robb said, "The Wraith will climb over our undefended places like Donghaiwang, Xiqiaowang, and Shadow Tower, easily cross the Great Wall, and then surround us. ”

Robb placed the two pieces representing the strange spirits left and right, and then placed one piece in the center, and the night watch was attacked on three sides except the south side.

"We don't have that many troops. "There are still tens of thousands of troops in Winterfell and thousands more on the ground, but the new southerners are not suited to fighting in the bitter cold of the north. ”

"Each castle sends only a handful of scouts, and then the griffons send messages back and forth. Severed Palm Colin said, "Heavy troops are stationed in the three military fortresses of Black Castle, Ice Crystal Gate, and Frost Snow Mountain, and any fortress that finds a strange ghost can divide its troops as quickly as possible." ”

"I'm exhausted. Jon shook his head, "I haven't thought of a better way yet, but it's clearly not an option. The wraiths only need to appear in a few places, and our forces will be redeployed from place to place. ”

"We have to concentrate our forces, and we have to concentrate our forces on one point, not disperse, so that we can best defend. Mance Rader said.

"All the oil, all the wildfires, can sustain up to two big wars. Shi Snake said.

In the end, everyone looked at Will, who was silent.

Jaime enters the Bachelor's Building and receives treatment from the Bachelors for the severed arm, which is mainly to remove carrion from the cold.

Arya's wound on her left arm has begun to relieve her frostbite.

"We should reopen the tunnel entrance to Castle Black. Will said.

The crowd was silent.

"In the other eighteen places, the strange spirits can only climb over. We will light wildfires in eighteen places, send a few scouts who are good at horseback riding, and make suspicious soldiers a tactic to let the strangers still guard the whole city, and then we will dig the tunnel gates of Castle Black, open them, let them enter through the tunnels of Castle Black, concentrate our forces, and fight them in Castle Black. ”

"Will the stranger be fooled?" Mance Rader was skeptical.

"Yes, as long as the Night King sees the tunnel door wide open, he will definitely concentrate his forces on attacking Castle Black. Will said.

"What if he doesn't?" Jon whispered.

"Then we'll wait to be surrounded by him. Will said lightly, "The Night King wants to take down the entire continent and make all life surrender, but our door is open, but he does not dare to attack, this is what he cannot tolerate himself, because this is a provocation, but also contempt, and even more war." β€œ

"Alright, that's it, open the tunnel door of Castle Black, open it, and let him attack. "The freedmen agree with this tactic. ”

Severed, Colin looked at Jon, then at the generals who were packed with Castle Black, and said, "The Night's Watch agrees." β€œ

The Northern Legion agreed. Robb Stark said.
