Chapter 104: The soldiers are divided into four directions
The next day, the storm troopers searched the area for dozens of miles before finding the spear that Linn used to kill the frost dragon next to a broken boulder.
Lin En was handed over to them for safekeeping, and the cavalry were overjoyed. They carefully maintained it like a sacred object and enshrined it in the flag regiment!
Then, he started to return with Linn's order.
Everyone in Winterfell began to prepare to evacuate,
It proved to be completely inadequate to defend against the onslaught of wights, and the Night King might come back at any time.
Retreating further south is the most urgent thing now.
It was decided that the army would retreat to Greywater Hope for temporary repairs.
The remaining troops began to evacuate in an orderly manner. The wounded were carried onto carriages, supplies were collected, and corpses were burned. Civilians left first, followed by soldiers to protect them. After joining the civilians in Severn City, the vast crowd headed south.
After walking along the King's Road and crossing the Bay of Cailin, which was a gate for one man, they walked for another seven days before they arrived at Graywater Watch.
There were swamps everywhere here, and countless warriors quickly filled the entire castle. It was so overcrowded that many people had to live in the swamps outside.
Of course, such an environment cannot be said to be repaired, nor is it a place to stay for a long time.
Everyone gathered together again to discuss the next battle plan.
Lin En glanced around, and everyone in the hall gathered, not only Danni, who looked obviously pregnant, but also the underground lord of the valley, Robin Erin!
It was just a small figure standing alone, and no one in the hall paid attention to him.
The original plan was made before the Battle of Winterfell. The Vale Cavalry and the Storm Heavy Cavalry saw the opportunity to enter the battlefield, but in the end, only the cavalry led by Lin En came out, and the Vale Cavalry did not appear at all.
They didn't return to Winterfell until dawn the next day. The reason they gave was that they got lost in the heavy snow!
This is of course not convincing. These days, the Valley Knights in the Sky are despised by everyone, and some even mock them to their faces because they are lost because they are greedy for life and afraid of death!
Little Arryn's face turned red with anger, and he vowed to personally participate in the next battle against the White Walkers.
Before today's meeting, Sansa found Aelin specially and brought him here.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and it will freeze here soon. We must decide the next step quickly!"
Snow said loudly, his face swept away the decadence of the previous period, and he looked high-spirited!
When he glanced around, his eyes were filled with tenderness as he passed by Dany.
Dani was standing aside, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen.
After everyone arrived, Snow proposed a battle plan.
"We must learn from the last lesson and find a place to defend that is absolutely difficult to capture. My suggestion is the Eagle's Nest City!"
As soon as Snow finished speaking, little Eileen, Sansa and everyone else in the hall looked at him.
Next, he introduced his proposal to everyone in detail!
In the plan, the Eagle's Nest City was used as bait, and all the troops were divided into two teams. One team was stationed at the Blood Gate in the valley, and the other team was guarding Riverrun City. When the ghoul army came to the Sancha River, they sent people to lead them to the valley.
After the wights turn to the Blood Gate, the troops stationed in Riverrun can attack from behind, attacking from both sides.
Then use the extremely special terrain of the Blood Gate to eliminate the corpses on the largest scale.
As he said this, he was afraid that everyone might not understand. He pointed at the Blood Gate on the map and introduced the terrain here.
"The Blood Gate is located at the end of a canyon that stretches for hundreds of miles in the Mingyue Mountains. It is the only passage from the land to the valley. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a natural danger."
"And even if the Blood Gate is lost, the Eagle's Nest City is a castle that has never been conquered in thousands of years. We can completely rely on the city to fight!"
Lynn knew about this plan in advance. It was planned by Tyrion when Snow came to discuss it with him. Now it is proposed here just to let everyone participate in discussing the details.
No one had any objections, except for the dissatisfaction in little Irene's eyes.
Both the Vale and the Eyrie belong to the Arryn family. Snow's plan to use the Eyrie as a bait was never asked of him before, and when the details of the division of troops were received, the Knights of the Vale were sent to Riverrun.
, the task of defending their hometown was not left to them, and the meaning of defense and distrust was very obvious.
Dany, who had been silent, noticed his dissatisfaction and said, "Robin of the Arryn family, do you have any dissatisfaction?"
Little Irene didn't dare to speak, so she lowered her head and said, "No, Queen!"
"It doesn't matter if you do. This plan is your last chance. If you and your knights can fight bravely, my original promise will still be valid."
Then she continued without waiting for ecstasy to appear on little Irene's face: "But if the Valley Knights are still afraid to move forward, or get lost for any reason, I will burn you and the ghouls to ashes!"
"Do you understand what I say?"
Little Eileen nodded crazily, "Please rest assured, Her Majesty the Queen, the valley is our hometown, and we will not get lost!"
"But do we have enough soldiers? Who knows how many wights the Night King will bring with him next time!"
"There is no need to worry about this issue," Linn stood up and said: "I have ordered to mobilize another 20,000 cavalry to come to support. They will be stationed at Harrenhal. When the corpses enter the canyon, they will cooperate with everyone to attack."
His words made everyone feel reassured, and they could see the whole leopard at a glance. The power of the storm heavy cavalry was fully demonstrated in this battle, and it was unbelievably powerful. If there were another 20,000 such soldiers, even if they were not as terrifying as the heavy cavalry, they would definitely be
It is extremely elite and convincing.
After everyone discussed it, they decided,
Edmure, Jaime, Snow, and little Eileen led the Lannister family troops, northern soldiers and Vale cavalry to defend Riverrun.
Linn led his soldiers to garrison Harrenhal, and both sides worked together to prevent the wight army from continuing southward.
Tyrion, Jorah and others led the Unsullied and Dothraki cavalry to join forces with Daenerys's defenders left in the Eyrie to defend the Blood Gate.
The plan is finalized and everyone leaves to prepare.
Snow walked to Dany and said softly: "You will not participate in the next war. I hope you can retreat to Dragonstone Island and wait for the result!"
Dani shook her head, "How can that be done? I can't hide behind and watch."
"Listen to me," Snow interrupted her, "No one knows how long it will take for the Night King to get here, or when the war will end, but calculating the time, our child may be born during that time,"
Dany touched her bulging belly and could only nod helplessly, "You're right. It would be really bad if you were born just when the Night King comes."
"Then, I'll leave Drogon to you! We need him more here. I'll go back to Dragonstone and come back when the child is born. By the way, let's give our child a name!"
Snow knelt on one knee in front of Dany, placing his ear against her belly with a gentle look on his face.
"Boy or girl?"
"A boy, I think so!" Danni said with a warm smile on her face.
