Chapter 646 This World Needs Hope...∑(っ°Д°;)っ! !

In the northern region, the cold wind continued to howl, and the banners above the city of Winterfell continued to wave in the wind.

What people standing on the city wall can see: the flags planted here on the city wall of Winterfell not only have the owner here, but also the characteristic gray wolf running flag of the Stark family, and Lannis The golden roaring lion flag of the Te family (even if the other party seems to have only James and a very small number of volunteers...), the golden rose flag of the River Bend Kingdom, the sky blue of the Knights of the Valley Kingdom with a white one The Crescent Falcon banner, the Silver Trout banner leaping out of the water of the Riverlands, the Sunburst Banner of Dorne, the Black Crowned Buck of the Golden Fields of the Stormlands, the Octopus banner of the Iron Islands, and most That... the red three-headed fire dragon banner on a black background that belongs to the Dragon Mother Daenerys Targaryen faction.

They were inserted on the walls of Winterfell and danced in the wind, expressing the determination and courage of the people of Westeros to unite against the White Walkers.

Today, although there is no such terrible blizzard, there is something even more terrifying than that kind of blizzard...

The people here, in fact, everyone knows what they are about to face next, but they have not flinched.

It is precisely because of those common enemies that warriors from all countries in Westeros have gathered on the city wall of Winterfell!

It doesn't matter whether they came voluntarily or involuntarily, no matter whether they have any grievances with each other, and no matter how many people they come, even if some of them have been destroyed or have been declared deprived of their territories and titles' Pseudo-nobles, maybe their situations are different, maybe their ideas are not the same...

However, they all chose to come here at this time, and came to Winterfell in the north, and erected the flags representing their families or forces on the top of the city, and joined the joint battle against all living people in the continent of Westeros. In the sequence of enemies, deal with the great enemy of those creatures - the army of ghosts!

It can be said unceremoniously that almost all the elites from the seven countries of the Westeros continent have gathered here in the current Winterfell! Moreover, there are more on the way, and it can be guaranteed that for a period of time in the future, a steady stream of warriors and related supplies will be transported here along the King's Road from various countries and city-states in the south.

Because this is the frontline and the last line of defense against the aliens.

And once Winterfell is lost, the White Walkers can, under the protection of Winter, travel south along the King's Road to Carlin Bay, flatten Harrenhal on the Trident River, come to King's Landing and then sweep across the entire continent of Westeros. !

At that time, no one can stop them...

Therefore, they must stay here in Winterfell, and try to defeat those alien legions here, completely wipe them out, or drive back to the land of eternal winter north of the Great Wall of Immortality!

Of course, there is still a prerequisite for defending this city, that is: the important transportation notice to the south of Winterfell, the King's Road will not be occupied and cut off by the White Walker Legion?

but……

This assumption can be a bit and difficult!

Because, the White Blade River south of the Long Lake in the Northern Lands and east of the Wolf Forest has been completely frozen under the influence of the severe cold. If the White Walkers want to, they can continue to go south Spread, bypassing Winterfell, and further blocking all connections between Winterfell and the southern continent.

But the good news is that the White Walkers don't seem to want to do that now...

They spread all over the sky from the north and the east, and surrounded the city of Winterfell, which is located on the traffic artery and the military center of the north. They stubbornly wanted to conquer Castle Black, Crown Town and Just like Hearth City, razed here directly!

Then, continue to go south, and then conquer the entire continent of Westeros?

So, now they are here, outside the city of Winterfell, staring at the place that blocks their way to the south...

therefore,

Correspondingly, the city of Winterfell, which is located on the rolling hills of this snow field, is naturally full of soldiers and knights from the "Dragon Lady Alliance" from all over the continent of Westeros standing on its city wall.

In addition to them, all kinds of defensive equipment, such as those ballistas, lever trebuchets, heavy counterweight trebuchets, braziers, boiled and prepared fat for fire attack, incompletely refined and can be used for incineration Heated asphalt, clay pots filled with fuel oil similar to 'wildfire', bundles of arrows with cloth strips soaked in grease tied to the arrowheads, piles of unlit torches used to ignite the fire, etc., The main reason is that all kinds of equipment and materials prepared to be used for fire attack are piled up in every open space at the top of the city!

Moreover, there are countless soldiers and servants who continuously transport more material resources to the city wall, and they are all the kind that can ignite and ignite fire, and the stones and mallets that are like ordinary city defense battles , poisonous water, etc. are not at all.

Because, almost everyone knows that against the other ghosts, general weapon attacks are not very effective. Fighting those "resurrected" ghosts, even if the opponent's head is smashed and chopped into two pieces Or if you cut it into eight pieces, they can still continue to move... Even if the remaining half of the head falls to the ground, maybe they will find the right opportunity to bite you hard!

So, because of the special situation of the enemy, burning them with fire has become one of the few excellent choices against the White Walkers!

Of course, the most important drawback of this method is that it is a bit too expensive...

The grease and other fuels used to ignite the fire, in this Westeros continent where the production capacity is low and basically produced by hand, every tank of fuel, every pass of animal and vegetable fats represents a lot of money and a huge amount of money. money.

Therefore, in addition to Fire Attack, another more affordable and effective method to deal with the White Walkers had to be used, and that was—the dragon crystal from Dragonstone Island!

In order to deal with the White Walkers in the north, the mother of dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, had already ordered her soldiers to dig a large amount of dragon crystal mines on Dragonstone Island, and transported at least several sailboats to Winterfell. City here! Therefore, in addition to the iron weapons in their hands, many soldiers on the city walls now have a lot of dragonglass daggers, dragonglass axes, spears with dragonglass heads and a very small amount of finely processed weapons. Dragon crystal long arrow and so on.

However, because dragon crystal is too sharp and hard, lacks toughness, and high temperature resistance, so that it cannot be melted and forged like steel, etc., making its fine processing very difficult! In addition, the time is too short, so there are still relatively few long-distance weapons like dragon crystal arrows that can kill aliens, and more of them are the kind of rough rough processing and self-made weapons that most soldiers have on their waists or backs. arms.

But even if this is the case, there is no guarantee that every soldier has that kind of 'artifact' specially used to deal with the ghosts!

After all, the time was too rushed, and the White Walkers came so fast that some soldiers didn't even have time to process dragonglass weapons by themselves, so they could only randomly tie the ores distributed to them to wood or Use the top of the iron rod as a hammer?

Moreover, there are still a considerable number of soldiers who are not on the front line, they can only still use their original iron weapons, and they are in the sequence of the reserve team, ready to support the front line at any time, using weapons that are doomed to be ineffective, to fight against those who are against the entire army. The evil White Walkers of Westeros.

However……

What puzzled the large number of soldiers and reserve troops who were lined up in the city to support the various parts of the city wall at any time was that it was still quiet outside the city at this time, except for the howling cold blowing from the north of the Great Wall. Apart from the north wind and the noise of some of our own people on the top of the city, they couldn't hear any other voices?

You know, under normal circumstances, in the offensive and defensive operations in the era of cold weapons, it is always right for the siege side to blatantly wave their flags and shouts, because only in this way can they improve their morale and attack the defenders who are defending the city. confidence? But now, there is no sound from outside, making them who can only squat in the city, unable to climb up to watch the situation feel uneasy...

Of course, it is not completely without other alternative voices! At this time, over the city, loud roars were coming down from time to time.

Well, it's actually the dragon on their side...

And, there is also the enemy's side that is said to have destroyed the Great Wall of Desperation...

'Hiss~! ! '

'Moo! ! ’ ‘Galla~! ! ! '

From time to time, there were a few loud hissing sounds in the sky. Anyone who looked up would know that it was Daenerys? Queen Targaryen's two dragons were confronting the enemy's revived Mutaliscus And roaring... They hovered violently in the sky and roared at each other, but both sides were very restrained at the moment, and neither of them took the lead in attacking the enemy, not even a tentative breath or a provocative behavior.

Because the war has not yet started, and the giant dragon, which exists as a strategic deterrent, obviously will not fight easily or run to the sky above the enemy's formation to fight the enemy to the death.

"..."

Jon Snow raised his head and looked worriedly at the two giant dragons that belonged to his side hovering in the sky for a while, then frowned and looked outside Winterfell. The motionless monsters in the snow and the cold wind, the motionless White Walkers!

If not everyone knew what they were, if not everyone on the city wall saw them coming here, or if they were not moving now, but there was still a little bit of blue in their eyes If the color seeps into the light, I am afraid that many people think that they have been frozen to death, right?

Of course, that must be impossible!

because……

Those standing outside are the White Walkers, the Legion of the White Walkers!

Those monsters, what they are most afraid of is the extreme cold weather in the north, and they will only and can only survive in this harsh and severe cold environment forever! And once the harsh winter is over, they can only return to the north in despair, return to the land of eternal winter north of the Impassable Great Wall to continue dormant, and will not continue to move south until the next harsh winter...

It's a pity that the cold winter has just arrived, and it is very likely that it will last for decades. If you want to count on the early end of the cold winter and let the ghosts leave on their own, that is obviously impossible.

This is just like the power of Galen Demacia said: "The rotation and revolution of this planet is very strange, and the stars will not directly or for a long time illuminate the continent of Westeros for a long time to come, so it is possible that would lead to an extremely long winter...'

Although Jon didn't quite understand what he said, but he also felt that what the weird and powerful guy, almost no one would be his opponent in a single fight, seemed to make sense. It was very similar to what the bachelors from the Academy City said that kind?

"..."

"Sir Davos, you go to command the part of the wall in the east of the city. You know the weak points of Winterfell, please be careful!"

Seeing that the White Walkers were still standing motionless in the distance, Jon, as the commander-in-chief, took a deep look at the line of White Walker knights in the distance for a while, and talked with one of them. A leader of the other ghosts who had met him many times looked at each other for a moment, and felt that the other party's eyes were getting sharper, and he might not be able to help but launch an attack, so he began to officially issue his own combat orders.

There is no doubt that the opponent will attack sooner or later, and there is definitely no harm in arranging it early.

"yes!"

"..."

"Tyrion, you go to the city now and arrange..."

However, before Jon Snow continued to issue orders and finish the task, and before Sir Davos Seaworth and the little devil Tyrion took the order to leave, a sudden change occurred:

Whoosh~!

On the top of the city of Winterfell, a clay pot that was on fire was thrown out first for some unknown reason. Then, the ball of fire swirled high towards the sky, towards the strange place outside the city. The positions of the ghost leaders were thrown high...

Boom~! !

After a period of flying and free-falling, it naturally smashed down to those who were away from the city wall of Winterfell, about a hundred feet in front of the White Ghost Legion brigade, and exploded, splashing The high-quality fuel quickly ignited a large area of ​​snow-covered ground, allowing the red fire to illuminate the surrounding white and crystal-clear snow.

Of course, the fire light also illuminated the pale and ferocious faces of the leaders of the aliens not far away.

"Bastard! Who did it? Hold on! Hold on!"

"Don't panic, they are still far away from us, don't panic! Wait for them to approach before launching!!"

"What are you still doing, hurry up and continue loading!!"

Seeing that someone did not obey the order, and did not know the reason for arbitrarily activating the small trebuchet placed on the city wall, causing a waste of a can of precious fuel, a general rushed over quickly, facing The position where the clay pot was launched yelled loudly.

There are so many different ghosts out there, and they don't have enough fuel tanks to effectively deal with those enemies. Every time one is wasted, dozens or even hundreds of different ghosts will be burned to death. That is absolutely not allowed!

However, before he could continue to reprimand the soldiers, the strange ghosts outside made a movement...

‘Wow~! '

'Roar! ! ’ ‘Ka Ka Ka….’ ‘Quack…’

'Oh wow! ! '

‘Gah Ho Ho! ! ! '

After watching a large group of fireballs from the cupping pot explode about 100 meters in front of him and ignite a large area of ​​snow, one of the whole row of ghost knights finally moved...

He slowly steered the skeleton horse under his crotch forward a few steps, and after inspecting the distant city wall of Winterfell, he raised the ice spear in his hand and slowly moved towards the thick and towering city of Winterfell. Point to the direction of the city wall!

next second,

Countless strange ghosts let out all kinds of unknown, sharp, low, heavy, or hoarse roars, and then suddenly started to run wildly on the snow!

They don't use any siege equipment, no ladders, no wells, and no battering hammers to hit the city walls and gates. Determined, he frantically rushed towards the two northeast walls of Winterfell.

"!!"

"White ghosts attack the city!"

"Quick! Get ready to fight!!"

"Attention everyone! Prepare to fight!!!"

"The trebuchet is ready! Put the oil tank!!"

"Quick! Continue to heat the fire oil, push them to the crenel!!"

"..."

"Archers, mount the rocket, draw the bow, light the fire! Get ready... let it go!!!"

Following the orderly shouting and ordering of the generals, finally, when the densely packed White Walkers who were attacking Winterfell with crowd tactics roared and rushed to a distance of about 100 meters from the city wall, the firing speed The fastest rockets and longbowmen, under the command of their generals, who were behind the city wall, threw ordinary long arrows with ignited arrows towards the sky obliquely above.

"..."

"In the tower in!!"

Looking up, he saw the dots of fire flying up from behind him, flying higher and higher, and was about to throw them down and shoot at the enemies outside the city. Galen, who had been standing on the north wall of Winterfell, couldn't care less When the others greeted them, they raised the sledgehammer in their hands high, and poured their own 'Demacia's power of justice' into the head of the hammer, allowing the golden light to shine instantly An area of ​​more than 100 meters around the entire city head.

Blessing of the king!

Temporarily inspire people's potential with the supreme holy light, making the basic attributes of all non-negative energy creatures illuminated by the light +10%, lasting for one hour.

Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!

In the next moment, when the golden light was on, before the other people around Galen came over from the magical light that made them feel warm and seemed to awaken their infinite power, countless With sharp arrows on fire, they shot at the charging White Walkers, and successfully ignited many White Walkers!

However……

Before those burning ghosts were burnt down and fell down, they were overwhelmed by more ghosts rushing forward from behind them, and the originally spectacular 'burning man' quickly disappeared. Dissipated in the endless army of black ghosts, as if nothing had happened.

"Ooh..."

"This seems to be too much, right?!"

Galen, who had just played a King's Blessing and was about to say something to boost his morale, saw the enemy's reaction like this, and the momentum was no weaker than the sea of ​​bugs he had seen. He suddenly felt: In this world, it seems that there is really no hope?
