Chapter 295
In the wind and snow, all the ghouls surrounding Houan Town stopped their attacks.
Stand still outside the town!
For this weird situation, Robert and the others, who took the soldiers into the town of Houguan, immediately guessed that they might be caught.
"Why did the ghoul suddenly stop moving?"
Following Arthur and Rego, trying to find the night king of the summon blizzard, Daenerys also found it on the back of the dragon by the light of fire The ghouls on the ground stopped their offensive.
Hearing the Dragon Queen’s reminder, Arthur briefly swept the ground with spirit strength, but did not find the existence of Others, but frowned: "We may have been lured the tiger away from the mountain. "
Speaking, he immediately stopped Rego and continued to fly to the direction where the Night King might be.
"I think the real goal of the Night King is not Hooguan Town."
Daenerys: "Then we still look for the Night King?"
"Not for now I've found it, let's go and discuss it with everyone."
Arthur, riding on the dragon's back, shook his head, let Rego turn around and land at the outlying camp in Crown Town. The Dragon Queen thought for a while and agreed to make a decision. .
In the violent storm and snow.
On the retaining wall of Houguan Town, Robert, Barristan, Arthur, Daenerys, Landau Tully, Ambrosius, Jorah Mormont and Tormond, Ding Dong and The others looked at the densely packed ghouls outside with complex expressions.
"So, where is the goal of the Night King? Attacking Wall and Castle Black?" Robert asked irritably.
Barristan said: "Skinchanger controlled the crows to fly to Castle Black, and did not find a trace of the ghoul army."
Dragon Queen: "Then why they only besieged and not attacked? "
"We all know that the Night King has no purpose in doing this impossible." The old wizard said solemnly.
Arthur guessed: "Then you think that the Night King dragged us all in Hooguan Town, why didn't you directly lead an army of ghouls to attack Castle Black?"
"Maybe the Night King The place to attack is Wall." Jorah pondered then said, "Wall is more than just Castle Black fortifications."
Daenerys immediately looked at Arthur: "Then we rode the dragon to every corner of Wall. Check every Night's Watch castle."
"No." Ambrosius shook his head, "His Royal Highness Arthur must stay by our side, otherwise we can't stop the Others' attack, and we will give The Night King has a chance to defeat them one by one."
The Dragon Queen frowned: "Then we can only be trapped in Crown Town now?"
Arthur: "I'm afraid so."
Daenerys shook his head: "No, it won't do us any good for us."
"But it's good for Others and ghouls." Landau Tully said.
Robert thought about it, and finally made a decision as soon as his fist hit the retaining wall: "Let the soldiers rest, take the initiative tomorrow, and wipe out all the ghouls surrounding Houan Town!"
"What?"
"No, this is too risky. After all, we don’t know what crafty plots and machinations the Night King has!"
Barristan, Lan Daenerys hearing this is also very speechless.
Ordinary soldiers do not have the geographical help of fortifications. They can win for a while in battle, but they cannot be eliminated. They will not be tired, painful, or fearful. Their strength can kill soldiers and transform dead people into ghouls. Army.
Robert is not angry: "You all said that the Night King hides in the dark to control the ghoul army, find it and then destroy it, no matter how many ghoul army, without the control of Others, won’t they return to death? ?"
"But Your Majesty, we killed the Night King outside Winterfell, but we were ambushed and suffered heavy losses." Jiaoling count shook his head, "I don't agree to take the initiative."
Daenerys: "I think the most important thing now is to figure out the purpose of the Night King."
Everyone can't agree on their own opinions.
Seeing that the negotiation could not produce a result, Arthur suggested: "Why don't we take a picture of Skinchanger first to find out if the situation is good?"
"This is the only way to go."
......
The other side of The North.
White Harbor is located at the mouth of the White Blade River.
When Winterfell was attacked by the Night King led by the Others and the ghoul army, Arthur and the others rode a dragon to support, Guinvia was extremely restless, but at a critical time, the old wizard Ambrosius was looking for a fight. Up her.
Send her to a balcony of the castle, and then cast her magic, directly to the White Harbor where she once stayed!
Here.
Because of the relationship between the prince and her prince, Guinivia, as it should be by rights, was warmly received by members of the Mandalay family.
I thought that White Harbor would be safer and calmer than Winterfell, but didn't expect to live there for two days, and the fire beacon ignited on the city wall.
Outside the city of White Harbor.
General Others, holding an ice crystal war blade, appeared on a dead horse, and slowly approached with thousands of resurrected dead in the fierce snowstorm!
apart from this.
The soldiers of Caho City also found an Others on the city wall, commanding thousands of resurrected dead, moving towards the castle slowly in the wind and snow.
The south of The North.
Deep Limburg was even captured by thousands of ghouls led by a few Others, and they marched into The Neck without any hindrance, and the Li De family in Grey Water was completely unaware of it.
Qiaora's guess is not wrong.
The Night King can grow *|drive*|straight*|into the south of Westeros, kill animals constantly on the road, and have a terrifying army of ghouls.
Wait for them to pass through The Neck, without having to capture The Twins, and walk directly on the icy river. Whether they continue southward, attack Riverlands or Vale of Arryn, they will have no difficulty.
But the Night King has to do more than that.
Having an absolute advantage in military strength, dragging two dragons and mastering the transcender of extraordinary power, General Others under his command has a chance to blossom on all sides of Westeros.
Continuously destroying the rear of mankind and keeping Arthur and the others busy rescuing various places can consume the power to divide them.
If you break the Wall again, Westeros will completely become the world of Others.
Even if the winter returns in the long summer, without the obstacle of the ice wall, the cold winter comes again, they can still swept the world again.
Death, darkness, and cold will eventually increase the power of the ancient Ability God.
Until all Spiritual Gods on the world are eliminated!
Of course.
Arthur and the others did not know that the Night King had quietly divided his troops and had already begun a full-scale attack on The North and even Westeros.
Seeing that the ghouls surrounding Hooguan Town are really just standing still, without any signs of attack.
Arrange the time for the vigil in turn, and then go to the town to rest.
In the next day, the snow-filled Houguan town.
The people who had enough rest gathered in the tower early in the morning, but King Robert, Old Sir Barristan, Dragon Queen Daenerys, Kakurin count and the others were still arguing about what to do next. endlessly.
Warrior King still thinks he should take the initiative.
The dragon queen thinks that she should ride a dragon to patrol Wall's castles, beware of the ghoul army, and find out what purpose the Night King has before considering action.
Jiaoling count believes that Houguan Town is not in danger and should take more than 5,000 soldiers back to Castle Black. Because of the shortage of food and supplies in Houguan Town, they cannot stay for too long.
Ballistan agreed with King’s idea of destroying the Night King, but he asked Arthur and the Dragon Queen to ride a dragon to find them. They were afraid that the two dragons would be ambushed and Arthur and the dragon would leave. The Night King would take the opportunity Attack the crown town.
As for everyone's thoughts, Arthur was a little vacillating, but because the opinions were still unable to be unified, he missed his predecessor Hand of the King Lord Eddard Stark very much.
......
Stannis is here.
Lead the Dragonstone army to chase the ghoul northward.
After crossing the Long Lake, almost to the last around Hearth City, the scout came back to inform the enemy: "Sir, we found a ghoul ten miles ahead. It is a cavalry, a ghoul cavalry riding a dead horse! "
Without thinking about it, Stannis issued an order: "Then pass the message on, so that everyone is ready for battle immediately."
There is an order from Prince Dragonstone.
The soldiers quickly erected their shields, straightened their spears, and drew their swords to form a battle formation.
The soldiers under Stannis are still the same as Robert's troops. Most of them are infantry, not too many cavalry.
Besides.
Even if there are cavalry, the cavalry composed of ordinary warriors cannot be mentioned on equal terms with the cavalry composed of the resurrected dead.
Wearing the armor, most of the body of the ghoul basically ignores the damage of the Dragon Crystal spear!
Dead horses can be returned to death, but the infantry battlefield can hardly stop their charge, especially the ghoul cavalry and the commander-in-chief of General Others!
Only the quick-reacting soldiers formed a battle formation, and the ghoul cavalry appeared in the blizzard riding a dead horse.
"Archer, let go!"
"Free shooting!"
However, the Dragon Crystal arrow flew down and hit the ghoul in steel armor , Can't cause much harm at all.
Robert and the others' eight thousand armies were attacked by the ghoul cavalry and could not stop them, as did Stannis's army.
"Shield hand top*|Live!"
When the dead horse hits the shield wall and stands in great numbers with the spear, Stanniston cannot keep calm and draws the sword moved The soldiers towards all around commanded loudly: "Close the gap immediately!"
Warrior King, Sir Barristan and the others are transcenders.
Randall Tully, Annie and Lancelot have Valyrian Steel swords, and more than 8,000 people still can’t help this ghoul cavalry.
After being burned by Lei Ge's breath, they did not suffer any serious casualties.
Stannis's 30,000 troops were still chipped away by the ghoul cavalry like a hot knife through butter, and then all the warriors fell into bitter fighting.
"Didn’t you say that Lord of Light will let me defeat the Others and the ghouls?"
Watching the soldiers continue to be killed and then resurrected as ghouls, facing Stanniston was stunned when his comrades and companions drew their swords and swung their swords to join the battle, and then rushed to the red robe woman on horseback and asked loudly.
Melisandre, who may have failed the sacrificial offering, was silent for a moment, and some hesitated: "Maybe...maybe because the ceremony was interrupted, so Lord of Light did not immediately lower Divine Vestige."
p>"When will it be?"
The General Others holding the ice blade is going to kill, and Stannis, who has suffered a heavy loss, can't wait at all, and asked angrily: "Do you want me? Only if all of the soldiers are killed will Divine Vestige come?"
Melisandre lowered her head: "I don't know."
"What?"
Hearing this, Stanniston became angry. In order to defeat the Others and the ghouls, he chose a sacrificial offering of his biological daughter!
Nothing has happened so far, and Priestess, who was conducting sacrificial offering, said he didn't know.
"Are you deceiving me?"
"No."
Melisandra shook her head, "I didn't deceive adults."
Then sighed again and said: "Lord of Light accepted the sacrificial offering, but the sacrificial offering at first ended, I don’t know what happened..."
Stannis Her face became terrifying: "So, there is simply no Divine Vestige?"
"Yes!"
Melisandra: "My lord, you have seen it many times."
"What about this time?" An angry Stannis pointed at Priestess with his sword and glared at her with cold eyes.
"Maybe...this is Lord of Light's test of adults." The red robe female speculated intently.
"Test?"
Stannis killing intent awe-inspiring: "Use the lives of my soldiers as a test?"
The ghoul cavalry can't stop it, General Others couldn't stop them, the battlefield was completely pierced through, and they had even completed their turn and were charging for the second round.
After several days of driving, I learned that Winterfell had fallen and tens of thousands of people had been slaughtered. I stayed in Seven City for a day and pursued the ghoul army. Now the face-to-face confrontation is pale, and the morale of all the soldiers is low.
The defeat is not far away from them.
The battle situation was not good. As the Prince’s deputy, Davos quickly found Stannis, who pointed the sword at the red robe woman: "My lord, the soldiers are not the opponents of these monsters. The battle is about to collapse. !"
Stannis, who was hearing this, looked at the onion knight, full of unwillingness, and then asked Priestess again: "Is there any way I can defeat Others and the ghoul now?"
p>"I can try." Melisandre.
Stannis: "Hurry up, then!"
A terrible battle has happened. As the commander-in-chief, the prince does not consider how to save the situation, does not consider how to preserve his strength, and even demands evil. Priestess shot, Dafos was very disappointed when he saw it.
But now the extraordinary power is revealed, and I have also seen Priestess's divine technique. I don't know the news that Princess Lin was burned by the sacrificial offering, but he didn't say anything to refute it.
"I need the blood of an adult."
Stannis hesitated when he heard Melisandre's words, but listened to the wailing and screams of the killed soldiers. Finally agreed.
However, he stretched out his hand in front of Priestess and said solemnly: "Don’t lie to me!"
As the soldiers threw the torch into the snow to form a fire, Prince Dragonstone’s The blood dripped down to the flames, and the sound of Melisandre's curse began to echo in everyone's ears on the battlefield.
