Chapter 254
It didn't take long to receive the message from the raven that Bear Island was embarrassed.
Just when Winterfell sent ravens to warn the cities of The North and notify Wall, they received the Forest Clan, Forest Clan, Trunk Clan, Branch Clan, Tree Clan and other Wolfwood Clan. The bad news of the attack!
When Bran controlled the crow to fly over to check, everyone knew that Deep Forest Castle and all the Wolf Forest clans had not escaped the disaster!
Moreover, the Night King, led by the army of the dead, is approaching Winterfell step by step!
Lady Catelyn immediately summoned the soldiers to strengthen the defense, and at the same time asked Bran to control the crows to ask for help from Wall, telling father Eddard the news of Winterfell.
Become a three-eyed crow.
But Bran is not Blinden Riverwen. Without his rich combat experience, he can't do everything.
Focused on the battle of Eastern Sea Hope and Night's Watch in the east of the land grant, but made a common sense mistake and ignored the situation of Ice Bay and Bear Island.
The Night King led an army of the dead from the wolf forest.
He pays attention all the time.
Control the crows to fly to the Wall. While Night's Watch notified the land grant, it also sent letters to the Allied Forces of Reach, led by Landau Tully near the White Blade River, and flew farther to King's Landing to ask Daenerys for help.
After a whole night on the road.
Arthur finally saw King and Hand of the King, took 10,000 people into the fortification construction, and then handed all the soldiers to the command of the two.
The young man has handled logistics affairs well, and is about to understand the military knowledge of cold weapon warfare, and see how the little noble officers and middle-class nobles control the soldiers.
The resurrected army of the dead is coming again from the direction of Eastern Sea!
There is Skinchanger as a scout. Before the ghouls arrive, everyone will get the information, and they are not afraid of them launching a surprise attack.
Before Castle Black set off, Robert asked the blacksmith to build a new Warhammer, but the speed of hammer building was not fast. Even if there are three blacksmiths moving around, it hasn't been done yet.
So, Arthur can only take a big sword from Donald Noy for King to use temporarily.
The one-meter-six-long, two-handed wide sword Robert dances vigorously, and is not afraid of the ghouls and the militant fattys who are about to attack.
"Give me weapons and prepare for battle!"
"The gunpowder kegs and gunpowder cans should be saved a bit this time, because we have to hold them for at least two days, etc. They come enough to be wiped out in one fell swoop!"
"Remember, don't let a ghoul go, and don't let them break the line of defense!"
Listen to the fighting fatty King As said, the warriors longsword slapped the shield and echoed with their spears high.
"Arthur, help us!"
The gray sky is difficult to tell whether it is noon or afternoon.
The pervasive wind and snow have gradually made people get used to it, watching the dense silhouette appear in the fog*|, as well as the rapid movement of the snow being trampled on.
As Robert yelled out, the golden rays of light began to envelope the warriors who were prepared attentively.
"archer!"
"Let me arrow!"
The visibility of no more than 20 meters is low. Seeing the silhouette means that they are approaching. In this case, neither Robert nor Eddard will be stingy with Dragon Crystal arrows.
Arrow rain intensively flies down.
The resurrected dead, rotten all over, also rushed to the front of the line of defense.
"The shield players in front give me support*|Stop them!"
"The spearman stabbed freely!"
The soldiers roared , The division of labor clearly blocked the crazy ghouls by shields, and the Dragon Crystal spears sent them back to the silence of death in an orderly manner.
"Swordsman is ready with the Dragon Crystal dagger, and any ghouls that rush through the shield are killed immediately!"
"Stop them all out of the defense line firmly!"
Use snow to stand up. Although the height of the retaining wall doped with stones and pillars is not more than three meters, it is more than five meters wide. Thousands of ghouls all rushed and couldn't knock down the snow wall.
It is such a simple line of defense, relying on the cooperation between the soldiers, humans have the upper hand steadily.
However, Robert, Eddard, and Arthur are very clear.
The prevailing situation is only temporary.
Don’t forget, ghouls will not be tired, but people will be tired. They can continue to attack without eating, drinking or sleeping.
The soldiers need to rest, eat, and drink, and they cannot stay on the line of defense.
So, ten thousand people must take turns to defend.
As the battle continued, the crow controlled by Bran flew over and sent the letter directly to his father Eddard.
"Oops!"
Opening the letter, Eddard's face changed drastically.
Give the command to the big Jon next to him, let the Skinchanger following him control the crow to fly to Winterfell, and ran to find King and said: "Your Majesty, we have bad news."
"What's the bad news?" Robert took the letter with a frown, and then Complexion sank, "Are you sure this is true?"
Eddard said: "I have let Skinchanger fly over to check, and soon I can confirm the news."
Hearing this Robert handed over the command to Barristan, dragged Eddard aside, solemnly asked: "If the Night King really breaks the Bear Island, the Deep Forest, and destroys the Wolfwood clan , Do you want to go back to Winterfell?"
"Yes!" Eddard resolutely replied, "I want to protect my family!"
"But you are also needed here!"
For a moment of silence, Grand Duke The North resolutely said: "Your Majesty, I have already gone to Essos for you, this time I want to protect my family!"
"I understand. "Robert understood his feelings about Zhang Family, nodded agreed, "Then you take Arthur."
"No, His Royal Highness Arthur should stay here to protect you." Eddard shook his head.
"Eddard, if Winterfell can't hold it, Hearth City will definitely not hold it in the end. When the time comes Wall, it's both sides. What's the use of destroying tens of thousands of ghouls here?"
"I know, but His Highness Arthur is here. Once Winterfell and Last Hearth City change, he can protect you from Essos."
Hearing this, Robert looked at this deeply. The friend who grew up together, then gave him a strong hug.
"Then you go to Winterfell first, I will destroy the ghouls here, and let Varian cut off their ice passages to help you."
"Okay."
Eddard, who heard this heavily nodded, immediately greeted Maggie Mormont Lady, Harleon Card Stark, Clay Severn and the others, telling them that the Night King detoured to Frozen Bay, The situation of Bear Island, Deep Forest and Wolfwood clan has been captured.
"Then we must rush to King's Landing immediately!"
As the central hinterland of The North, if King's Landing is breached by the Night King and the army of ghosts, they will lose the support of the rear. , So that Extremis Wall suffers from both sides.
"Assemble the people who can take away, we will rush back to King's Landing immediately!"
On the Wall side.
Ryan and Stannis both looked solemn upon receiving the message from Bran.
Others deployed more than 300,000 ghouls outside the Great Wall, and continuously sent troops of the dead to bypass the ice wall, and attacked the Eastern Sea and Xiqiaowang respectively, but they also deployed a surprise soldier in Frozen Bay. .
Once the Night King captures Winterfell and heads north, regardless of whether or not Fireplace can be held in the end, the Wildling land-grant will inevitably be killed, transforming the Night King into troops, and making the Wall of Despair be bothered by enemies.
Wall can defend attacks from outside the Great Wall.
But the coalition camp outside Castle Black may not be able to stop the onslaught of nearly 100,000 ghouls!
To stay in the Wall is to sit and wait for death, Stannis immediately made a decision: "I want to send troops to support Winterfell!"
"Would you like to discuss with Imperial Father?" Ryan knew about Imperial Uncle's choice is not wrong, but you have to keep yourself in the middle of Wall to coordinate the overall situation, and there is something unsure in your heart, where will go wrong.
Stannis knew that his nephew was lacking in confidence, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Ryan, you have the ability to be on your own."
Ryan took a deep breath, solemnly nodded:" I will guard Wall!"
"I will take away Dragonstone’s army."
Stannis directly summoned his vassals and brought Melisandre with him by the way, He also decided to take away the Lord of Light, claiming to be the wife and daughter of a nun in the Lahlo church in the camp.
