Chapter 160 The time of war
Chapter 160
The land of Eternal Winter was awakened one by one by the ancient bones buried deep under the ice. It seems that even the Night King could not awaken all the dead at the same time. Now these are the fish that escaped. However, these fish that escaped from the originally remote place suddenly became active at this moment. A group of nine cavalry followed the corpses that were surging wildly to the north from a distance.
And in the northern border, near the last fireplace castle, the Night King's army suddenly stopped moving forward. A faint change finally appeared on the Night King's face that remained unchanged in his later years. It found that opponent, the old opponent who had been hiding for thousands of years.
After a moment, the Immortal Army continued to advance. The Night King turned around and rushed back. Behind him were eight White Walkers carrying spears. For the Night King, Winterfell was there and was available at will. But if the three-eyed crow ran away this time, it might take thousands of years of entanglement.
With wheel endurance, it is naturally impossible for anyone to be able to compete with the undead war horses under the White Walkers. Su Yuan was not very anxious. He had received news from Winterfell that the Night King had already brought a team to the Land of Eternal Winter. This meant that his plan was successful.
In the original work, the combat power between the three-eyed crow and the Night King is completely incomparable. The old guy didn't even fight back, and he was directly chopped by the Night King without even moving. Su Yuan felt that he didn't fight back at that time because he had basically completed the inheritance of the three-eyed crow. That body was useless. But now, it has not completed the inheritance of Bran yet. Su Yuan wanted to see if it would be cut off without moving like the original work.
Su Yuan and others had a very shortcut, and they were able to see the tall and overly overbearing beam from afar. I don’t know why the Night King couldn’t see it for thousands of years. This also shows that the three-eyed crow could never have no real talent. At least the skill of hiding the hand is not something that ordinary people can understand.
From a distance, flames flew. Su Yuan knew that it was a battle between the sons of the forest and the corpse ghosts. The sons of the forest still retained some magic. They could use an explosion-like alchemy product. The lethality was quite considerable. At the same time, they could use some flame magic. I don’t know why the legendary sons of the forest were so good at fire magic.
The guards behind Su Yuan were not surprised by the scene in front of him because they had seen the legendary demon hand.
"We'll go straight up, so wait a little longer. The thing inside is also your target." Bailong knew Su Yuan very well and knew that his jazz had an unusual greed in his bones.
"In waiting, it's coming. I need to make sure something."
In the other direction, the Night King and eight White Walkers had arrived. Su Yuan knew that both sides must have discovered these humans. But he also believed that the other party and Ben would not care about him. This was a battle between two gods. In the original work, when the Night King was chasing Bran, he was too lazy to pay attention to Jon Snow's pursuit, and he only wanted to kill Bran.
……………………………………………………
Winterfell is different from previous wars. There is no tactics, no waiting, and no room for buffering. The war begins the first time the Ghoul Legion appeared. Standing on the city wall, the soldiers could see the densely packed corps of ghouls spreading beyond their sight. The invisible pressure almost made the soldiers go crazy. The first time the Ghoul Legion rushed up, many people even cried.
Countless horse-rejecting piles, low walls, trenches and other obstacles were built in advance outside Winterfell. Countless soldiers lined up neatly with dragon crystal spears facing each other. If Su Yuan was here, he would find that like the TV show, the soldiers did not guard the city, but went out to fight. The reason was that... so many people could not be accommodated in the city.
Although Winterfell has been expanded a lot and the city wall has been widened, the number of people that can accommodate is still limited. The number of White Walkers is too many. Those who are too many on the city wall are not enough to deal with it. Once the city wall fails, the 200,000 people in the city will lose their room for maneuver and will be squeezed in the middle like canned sardines and will be eaten away bit by bit.
Going out of the city to fight is undoubtedly not a good choice, as casualties will increase countless times. But at least it can maximize the role of soldiers. Moreover, there is more than this line of defense outside the city. The main purpose of all this is to prevent the corpse of ghouls from touching the city wall.
In Winterfell, a savage psychic opened his eyes. He quickly said something in the ear of a soldier beside him. A few minutes later, Stannis and the kings received news.
"The Night King has returned to the Land of Eternal Winter. Sir Grant's plan has come into effect. All we have to do now is to delay time."
"Duke Ned. Do you believe Sir Grant?" Stannis didn't know much about Su Yuan. The two of them had never dealt with each other.
"If anyone in this world can kill the Night King, it must be Sir Grant."
"Okay, use wildfire. Winterfell will not fall today."
Outside Winterfell, the originally flat ground suddenly collapsed. A long trench appeared in front of the corpse of ghouls. However, the corpse ghouls rushed straight up without any hesitation. In the trench, some wooden barrels were crushed. Some miserable green liquid slowly flowed out. On the city wall, Theon held a bow and arrow in his hand, and shot a burning arrow out of the sky.
The bow and arrow passed through countless soldiers and ghouls and landed accurately into the trench. Green flames ignited, and then there were a series of explosions. Countless broken limbs and arms flew to the sky with the soil. The corpse of ghouls that had originally swarmed in was interrupted by this rhythm of attack.
This may be one of the biggest weaknesses of corpses. They will instinctively fear the flames. This flame makes the originally violent corpses stop moving forward. They wander in front of the flames, but they dare not move forward.
At this time, several White Ghosts walked out. Without seeing any movements, some corpse ghosts suddenly came out and jumped straight into the fire pit. Hundreds of corpse ghosts, relying on their bodies, covered up the flames and stepped out a gap in the originally airtight musket.
The next second, countless corpses flocked in.
