This shows that the White Walkers are faster than imagined,
A war meeting was held in the Great Hall of Winterfell.
When Linn came here, he found that everyone had arrived except Daenerys!
Tyrion explained: "The Queen is unwell and I have been authorized to attend the meeting in her stead!"
A huge map of the Northern Territory was spread out on the table, and everyone gathered around the table.
"The wildlings say that there are more ghouls! More than imagined. They flood Hearth City like a tide, and the resistance on the city wall is like a candle thrown into the water, fleeting!..."
Tyrion climbed on the table, holding a candle and looking at the map carefully.
"Judging from their route, the ghouls did not take the more convenient King's Road, but chose to take a detour to attack Hearth City. Why is this?"
Lin En didn't look at the map. He knew all the maps by heart, but he was also confused about the purpose of the White Walkers.
"Maybe it's to add more wights?" Jon guessed.
"If this is the case, then their next target must be the Dreadfort, and then Winterfell!"
Tyrion raised his head, "This is best!"
"There are too many troops in Winterfell now. This is a serious waste and cannot be used at all. We can allocate part of our troops to defend the Dreadfort."
"To reduce their numbers before the decisive battle with the White Walkers."
…
The brazier in the hall was lit, which not only raised the temperature in the hall but also increased the lighting, even though it was daytime.
The impact of the coming winter is getting bigger and bigger in the north, not only the non-stop snowflakes, the plummeting temperature, but also the forever leaden sky and the longer and longer nights.
The candles on the table have been changed, and after consultation, a battle plan acceptable to everyone was finally arrived at.
The first step of the plan is, "Tormund takes the wildlings and Dothraki cavalry with dragon crystal weapons to the Dreadfort to fight the White Walkers!"
Part 2, "Halfway down the road, three giant dragons burned the wights along the path of the White Walkers."
The third step, "When the White Walkers come to Winterfell, the Unsullied will dig trenches under the city, build fences, and use the bows and arrows on the city wall to stop and kill the White Walkers to the greatest extent. At the same time, the Valley Cavalry and the Storm Kingdom
The cavalry will be outside the city, seize the opportunity, and enter the battlefield!"
Tyrion's battle plan seems pretty good at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are some things that cannot be penetrated.
For example, why send troops to the Dreadfort?
It is said to reduce the number of wights, but won't those wildlings and Dothraki cavalry who died in battle no longer become wights?
For example, why are wildlings and Dothraki cavalry sent to the Dreadfort?
Is it because they are not welcome in the North and have no say?
Lynn also noticed that the Dothraki didn't even have a representative standing in the hall.
There is no need to say more about the savages. There are too many people in the North and their hatred to be counted.
The Dothraki cavalry were sent to the Dreadfort entirely with the tacit consent of several forces.
Neither Lyn, Snow, Jaime, Sansa nor even the little devil raised any objections to this.
The plan was finalized and the army began to prepare,
Three days later, the savages had received their weapons and the Dothraki vanguard had set off.
Of course, one hundred thousand cavalry cannot set off on the same day. They must be divided into several groups and set off in sequence.
Linn and Tyrion stood on the city wall, watching the Dothraki tents scattered across the mountains and plains begin to be dismantled.
"Tyrion, do you regret it?"
"Why do you ask?" The little devil next to him, who was also looking outside the city, asked in confusion.
"Your original desire and what you are doing now,"
"What were you like back then, a drunkard and a prostitute, and what are you like now?"
Linn's words silenced Tyrion. He frowned in thought for a while, then raised his head and looked outside the city.
"I don't regret it, even if I do it again!"
"Do you miss the old days?"
"certainly!"
The two talked about the past, but they tacitly avoided the cavalry setting off outside the city.
Also avoided Xue Yi,
Although this is the person who has changed Tyrion the most until now!
Suddenly, a low bell rang in the city,
Looking back, he saw several messengers running out of the castle and scattering in all directions.
The two looked at each other and said, "It seems that plans can never keep up with changes!"
…
"Here they come!"
"Faster than we expected, Bran informed me that the White Walker army is less than a day's journey from Winterfell!"
Snow's words silenced everyone in the hall. Although they had expected something to happen before coming, no one expected it to happen so soon!
"The ghoul army did not go to the Dreadfort, but quietly passed through the Wolf Wood. They were tireless and marched day and night. Maybe, maybe it was not their front army that broke through the Hearth City."
"No matter what, they are coming! We must fight them!"
"Let the wildlings and Dothraki cavalry stop their actions and prepare for battle on the spot! Other plans remain unchanged!"
Didn’t talk much about it,
This meeting started very quickly and ended even faster.
Mental preparations have been made countless times, and everyone knows what they are going to face before coming.
Dragon crystal weapons began to be distributed, some people were sorting out weapons and armor, and some people were praying secretly,
Dinner was extremely sumptuous!
Winterfell brought out all the good things they could, and the smell of stew spread throughout Winterfell.
Countless people were doing their own things, meeting people they met, saying goodbye, and secretly enjoying the last night in twos and threes!
"Lynn, will we die?" Arya asked casually, kicking the water in the hot spring with her bare feet.
Lin En did not reply to her question, but asked her: "Are you afraid?"
"Afraid!"
"Are you scared now? Where was your courage when you pushed me just now?"
Lin En's teasing words made her feel embarrassed, and her white little feet kicked up. Lin En reached out to block them, and held her feet in his hands with his backhand and caressed them carefully.
Arya trembled all over, as if all her strength had disappeared, she almost fell to the ground again!
Those big hands were warmer and hotter than the water in the hot spring. From bottom to top, they touched her neck. Her whole body was warm and numb from the inside out, making her unable to exert any strength.
"No, not again!" Arya said something that even she couldn't believe, but Linn talked about it in her head.
"You think beautifully!"
Under Arya's disbelieving gaze, the scars all over her body were slowly fading and becoming lighter, until they disappeared and became delicate again!
"What's going on? Is it magic too?"
Lin En didn't come back. He picked up the silver necklace around her neck with his fingers and held it in his hand.
"Tonight throughout the city, countless people will ask questions like, 'Are you afraid? Will I die?'! Some will say they are afraid, and some will say they are not afraid. Everyone knows the real answer forever.
It’s all the same.”
"But, you don't have to be afraid!" Linn said softly.
"Wear it!"
PS: No more! It’s a bit painful to write today.
The more I wanted to write about this battle well, the more I felt that there was too much to write, and my writing was so bad that I pulled out several hairs, which made me feel sad~
