Chapter 0516: Black Gate

The meeting in the shield hall lasted until the evening, and Green became the temporary chief of general affairs, with Samwell Tully as his assistant, and the two men together coordinated the food, clothing, housing, transportation, weapons and armor, horses and forage of nearly 50,000 legions on the Great Wall, and the civilian city buildings, transportation, town management, forest hunting, lake fishing, and livestock breeding on the five hundred miles of land,...... And also...... Foreign Trade and Tax ......

Var and Dana also joined the management team of the Chief of Operations.

All of a sudden, things got bigger.

The old rangers and chiefs of the Great Wall of Desperation used to have less than 2,000 people, but the number of the Willy Wood Shield tribe and the Wolf Forest tribe increased to 6,000, and the number of civilians in the jurisdiction increased by 15,000.

Donghaiwang established a naval fleet, the fishermen's navy inside and outside the Great Wall increased by 1,000 people, and the addition of hundreds of sailors and sailors of the Warhammer of the royal fleet further strengthened the naval strength of Donghaiwang.

In the Battle of Fort Deep, Carter Pike captured more than 300 Iron People warriors who were routed and fled, including Asha Greyjoy, and Carter Pike escorted Asha and Iron People to East China Sea without informing Will and Robb to increase their naval strength.

In the combined battle between the Valleys, the Riverlands, and the Northlands against the West, the final victory brought the Four-Power Alliance to the Wall: the Riverlands, the Valleys, the West, and the North garrisoned the Great Wall with a total of 6,000 men. In this way, the soldiers of the Great Wall Legion had 15,000 men.

Today, with the addition of more than 30,000 freedmen, there are nearly 50,000 legionnaires.

It was a formidable army, outnumbering the civilians in the territory. The civilians of dozens of tribes in the Wolf Forest Mountains all migrated down the mountain, and with the more than 20,000 civilians of the free people, the number of civilians was about 40,000.

Where there are people, there is power!

This gave Will absolute confidence.

He no longer only promised to publicize the arrival of the strange ghosts to the nobles of various countries, he decided to speak with the facts, and before the autumn passed, so that everyone in the people of the seven countries knew about the attack of the strange spirits, and if they were hindered by the nobles, he bypassed the nobles and recruited directly from the commoners.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, apart from the forces of Tyrell in the south, there are many troops in the Great Wall of Desperation.

Late at night, Will quietly arrived at the Long Night Castle.

The Long Night Castle, the oldest and largest of the Night's Castles. Inside, there is the Black Gate, a secret passage through the Great Wall, sealed by a gate made of ancient fishbeam wood that has been enchanted and can only be opened by the brothers of the Night's Watch who have made an oath. And the spell that was opened was the Night's Watch Oath.

Black Gate was in a deep well.

There is a passage in the side wall of the deep well that leads to the Black Gate.

Will came to the Black Gate.

He arrives to meet the undead knights Bunyan Stark and Gael, who are about to cross the Wall.

The walls of ice of the Great Wall are filled with magic circles, preventing the passage of strangers and ghouls, as well as the passage of the undead.

In the distance in front of the Black Gate, the undead Bunyan Stark and Gail use the power of the night to fight the pressure of the undead caused by the magic of the Great Wall.

Will whispered in front of the black gate: "The long night is coming, I will keep watch from now on until I die." I will not take a wife, nor a fief, nor have children. I will not wear a crown, and I will not compete for honor. I will do my duty and die in my life. I am the sword in the darkness, the guard of the Great Wall, the flame against the cold, the light at dawn, the trumpet that awakens the sleeper, the shield that guards the kingdom. I give my life and glory to the night watch, tonight, night and night. ”

The black door slowly emerged in the darkness.

A white fishbeam wooden door appeared in front of Will.

A pair of red eyes slowly appeared on the door, not unlike those carved into the fishbeams.

In the middle of the gate, a mouth slowly appeared.

The mouth opened and closed slowly and awkwardly, and Will heard the door speak slowly, "Who are you?"

"I'm Will the Night's Watch. ”

"Brother Night's Watch?"

"Yes!"

Right before Will's eyes, the door gradually turned into a face.

The fish beams and trees of the people of the North are all depicted with similar faces.

Red eyes dripping with blood, a white face with vicissitudes, and a large shriveled mouth.

Will had seen this face in the Sacred Wood Forest of Winterfell, and on the twelve Fish Beams outside the Great Wall of Despair.

"You're going out?"

"I'm going to pick up two Night's Watch brothers through the Great Wall, the Strange Spirits are coming, and the Cold God has gathered an army of millions of ghouls in the Land of Eternal Winter, and all life will face destruction. ”

"Don't your brother of the Night's Watch know the Night's Watch Oath?"

"Yes, but they have become undead. ”

"The undead can't pass through the Wall. ”

"If you can open the gate, they can get through. ”

"What do you want to do with the undead crossing the Wall?"

"Underneath Winterfell, there is a mausoleum built by Brandon Stark, who built the Great Wall eight thousand years ago, which contains the Sword of Light and an army of the undead sealed in various beautiful jades. ”

The red eyes of the door slowly closed, and Will could see that the door was in deep thought. Did Will's words bring him back to memories of 8,000 years ago?

The door was gone, and in front of Will was a huge human face. - A similar human face carved into the wood of the fish beam.

"Are you the chosen one of the gods?"

"I don't know, I just know that I need to do everything I can to concentrate all my strength against the demons from the land of eternal winter. ”

"Autumn is short, Will, you need to hurry. Winter and night will bring the world strange spirits that destroy all life!"

"Yes!"

Will respectfully.

The face stopped talking, but the big mouth slowly opened, opening wider and wider, and finally became a large mouth for people to enter and exit.

Will didn't dare to slack off, and dodged out, and the undead Bunyan and Gail quickly rushed over.

They saw a gaping mouth behind Will.

Will turned around and stood in his mouth, shouting, "Quick!"

He stood in the middle of his mouth, and he could no longer close it.

Bunyan and Gale recited the Night's Watch oath as they sped past Will.

Will noticed a pained look on the face of the fish beam.

Will hurriedly jumped away, his mouth slowly closing, and his face gradually returned to normal.

Bunyan and Gale had already gone out of the passage like the wind, and as soon as they reached the mouth of the deep well, all the pressure on their bodies disappeared.

They passed the Great Wall.

Bunyan and Gail climbed on the wall of the well, and they waited for Will to come back and go out together.

Will watched as the face in front of him returned to normal, and the expression of pain slowly dissipated.

Will cautiously said, "Thank you!"

He knew that the face on the Fish Beam had something to do with the Children of the Forest. The faces on the fish beams outside the Great Wall of the North and the Desperate Realm are also carved by the Children of the Forest.

The magic of the Black Gate is the magic of the children of the forest.

Eight thousand years ago, the Children of the Forest fought alongside the Terrans, and after their victory, they built the Black Gate together. The Night's Watch Oath contains many secrets. It's just that the night watchman has forgotten many of the secrets of the oath.

"Will, with the help of the undead army, unless the Great Wall collapses, do you foresee the day when the Great Wall collapses?" said the human face that had returned to normal, and the shriveled mouth opened and closed.
