The returning squad of Rangers of the Night's Watch were brought to King Renly to report on their military affairs.
"How much?!" Renly, who was walking quickly, stopped and asked in surprise. The nobles around him also stopped and looked at the team leader.
The team leader's hands were still shaking: "Countless! When we looked over from the top of the mound, the mountains and plains were filled with corpses! The corpses didn't chase us, so they probably didn't want to kill a few of us."
Renly quickly asked: "How far is it from here?"
The squad leader took out a steel pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time: "We didn't stop on the way back on horseback. It took about an hour. The zombies are expected to arrive at Carlin Bay in 5 hours on foot."
After hearing the team leader's answer, everyone mentally estimated that the reconnaissance troops were traveling lightly, the horses could not run at full speed in the snow, and the corpses did not need to rest. It really took almost 5 hours.
"Is the news true?" Renly stared at the team leader for final confirmation. The magic power surged in his body, and visible magic ripples appeared on his body surface.
Seeing that he was frightened by Renly, Benyan, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, quickly pushed him with his hand: "Sir Jeremy Riker, please recall the details carefully to see if there are any omissions!"
Jeremy, who came back to his senses, immediately stood up straight and gave a military salute to Renly: "I swear on my life! The White Walkers are gathering at Moat Cailin!"
Renly nodded towards Jeremy, took out the Storm Sword from his waist, raised it high and shouted with magic: "Everyone, listen, I give this order in the name of the king, no matter nobles, knights, soldiers or civilians, everyone
Take up arms and defend humanity!"
"Defend humanity!" Bunyan drew his sword.
Everyone in the Cailin Bay Fortress raised their weapons: "Defend humanity!"
The people who retreated from the three routes in the north, east, west, and middle, all arrived at the Bay of Cailin. The White Walker army that broke through the Great Wall from the three routes also gathered together. Most of the people attacking this time were the main force of the White Walkers, and there was no room for relaxation.
On the hundreds of miles of ice wall, all the oilcloths covering the clay pots were pulled away, bundles of obsidian arrows were carried up the city wall from the carriages, iron-clad shields were piled under the battlements, and boxes of military rations were poured on the ice.
The boxes were chopped into sticks and made into torches.
The Northerners were responsible for defending the western section of the fortress, and they were all gearing up to kill more ghouls to avenge their dead relatives. The Riverland soldiers were responsible for defending the western section, and the Vale Knights tied their horses in the woods behind, together with the Western Knights.
Holding shields, he joined the garrison defending the fortress. Dorne's vanguard, armed with spears, followed Nymeria and stationed around the king.
Not only are there small trebuchets on the city wall, there are also a large number of heavy trebuchets built behind the city wall. A large number of craftsmen gather around to control these wooden machines for siege.
The messenger crows have been released, and the news of the White Walkers' massive attack must be told to the whole country. If the Royal Fleet and the Tyroshi Fleet anchored in the Bite Bay do not encounter corpses on the icy sea, the two navies will immediately land to support Carlin.
bay.
"Sir Jeremy Riker, I officially promote you to Chief Ranger of the Night's Watch." Benyan promoted his subordinates at the last moment. Maybe everyone will not survive tomorrow.
"Take your orders!" After Jeremy saluted, he looked at the vast snow in the north and said, "I don't know if I can see my family in Dusken Valley again."
Benyan smiled: "It's better not to see them! If we all retreat to Duskendale, it means that the entire riverland has been occupied by the White Walkers."
The white air they sprayed out while they were talking slowly rose up and floated over the neck where only a tree stump was cut down.
~~~
The five hours of preparation time passed quickly.
Standing on the battlements of the fortress, Renly opened his eyes, disconnected the magical connection of the flying dragon in the sky, raised his hand and shouted to the people around him: "Here we come! Sound the bugle!"
The defensive bugles started from the fortress of Cailin Bay and spread along the city walls one after another.
"Hurry! Hurry!" the officers kept waving their hands and commanding.
"The obsidian arrows are not enough! Bring up some more arrows!" The logistics officer looked at the piles of arrows that were still being carried by civilians.
All the defenders on the city wall stood up and entered defensive positions. Torches were lit at noon, and clay pots containing wildfire were placed on small riprap trucks.
Everyone looked at the north nervously after taking their positions. The hands of the archers were trembling, the shield hands were holding the shield tightly, the armor of the spear knights was already sweating, and the entire defense line was extremely quiet. At this time, anyone
They don't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
On December 9, 300ac, the army of the dead officially set foot on Zeneck.
At the edge of the white snowfield, a disheveled skeleton walked out of the woods with a wooden stone ax in his hand.
There wasn't much carrion left on the skeleton, and although he was walking with a limp, he was not slow. It didn't take long before he reached the top of a small mound, and the outline of the Cailin Bay Fortress appeared in his blue-lighting eyes.
"Just a wight?" Rosamund Lannister was very nervous and her voice was trembling.
She is wearing a red mage robe with gold edges, with a standing lion embroidered on the back of the cloak. She has a beautiful face with blond hair, and is holding a golden wand. No matter how you look at it, she is a rich and powerful magician.
, but she is very afraid of dead people, usually even a dead mouse can scare her into screaming.
Nymeria took off the folded weapon from her back and combined it twice to form a pitch-black spear. Then she picked up a black shield with her embossed profile from her feet and held it in her left hand: "No, look behind."
The ghoul walked down the mound with steps that he didn't recognize. Another ghoul appeared on the hill, followed by ten, a hundred, and a thousand. Soon they exceeded the number that can be detected by the human eye and gathered into a dense black mass.
After a while, there were a steady stream of corpses joining in.
The wight changes from walking to sprinting.
Viewed from the heights of the fortress, it looks like a vast expanse of black water pouring toward the south in the distance.
The ghoul changed from a sprint to a trot.
The faster animal-shaped ghouls brought up a cloud of snow mist as they ran, and quickly followed and surpassed the human-shaped ghouls.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The ghoul turns from a trot to a mad dash!
"Hiss~~~" Wherever the human eye can see, there are all kinds of running corpses.
"Trebuchet, launch!"
As the officers gave orders in unison, hundreds of fireballs rose from behind the city wall. The green fireballs lined up in a row, drawing an arc in the air with black tail smoke before crashing into the group of ghouls.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A row of green firelight shone on the face of every living person. The charging ghoul was blown to pieces by the wildfire explosion, and its broken limbs flew dozens of meters high.
No one cheered, everyone knew that this could not stop the zombies from charging.
Before the green fire burned out, endless ice spiders as big as horses emerged from the woods. They formed a group of three or five, spewing spider silk from their applauding abdomens, and with a few long legs, they quickly killed the corpse.
A ball of yellow and white grease brought by the ghost was wrapped in a ball.
Four legs were dug into the mud, and the other four legs were raised high. The living slingshot was quickly set up. With the help of the vampire, the ejected spider silk ball was ignited in the air.
"Defend! Magician, defend quickly!"
“Protect wildfires!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shield was raised high, the canvas was pulled up to cover the crowd and the clay pots, and various defensive magics were lit up everywhere on the city wall. Fireballs exploded on the city wall, and grease splashed and sparks flew in random directions.
"Ah~~~"
The armor was useless in front of the grease, and the hot and burning grease flowed down the gaps in the armor and covered the knight's body.
Fortunately, the coalition forces summed up their experience at the Great Wall. This time, only a few unlucky ones got stuck with the burning grease, and the soldiers quickly pulled away the burning canvas.
"The trebuchet quickly increases the distance and kills those damn big spiders!"
Before the armies of the living and the dead came into contact, the two sides fired three rounds of fireballs at each other.
With such a large army of wights, there must be many white ghosts controlling them. Renly did not dare to let Petwaha take off. After letting the dragon take his orders to the east sea for support, he stayed on the fortress to defend himself.
.
In addition to the walls on both sides, the central fortress was bombarded the most by fireballs. A golden magic shield with a diameter of hundreds of meters enveloped the middle of the fortress, with fireballs exploding constantly on it, and stray grease flowing along the edge of the shield like a waterfall of fire.
to the ground.
Rosamond raised her wand with both hands, and the restorative magic that was fully stimulated in her body made her whole body glow with golden light. It also brought up a strong wind around her, blowing her tied up blond hair around. It also blew up her skirt and leaked two strands.
Snow-white long legs, but no one would pay attention to these at this time, because the group of corpses had already rushed to the city wall.
"Rosamund, remove the shield!" Nymeria shouted.
The blue light kept flashing, and the huge sound of electricity overwhelmed the shouts of the entire fortress. Renly on the side waved the Storm Sword, and strings of lightning kept jumping from the tip of the sword to the group of corpses.
"Rosamund, remove the shield! Use healing magic on the wights!" Nymeria walked up to her, yelling and pulling her arm.
"Okay!" Rosamund quickly removed the magic.
The golden shield disappeared, and several young mages immediately used fireball to ignite the wildfire jar buried under the fortress wall.
Rosamund is not as tough as Ashara. She is an introverted and gentle little girl. Werther's training for her is not as cruel as the other three. She has killed several bandits with her own hands and has also learned how to use magic on the battlefield.
Cooperating with the army in fighting, but once on the battlefield, I was so nervous that I completely forgot about it.
Wildfires that had been laid in advance were ignited all over the city wall, and soon they formed a green line of fire that penetrated the Neck, as if it was dividing the entire continent of Westeros into two.
"Don't be in a daze, use healing!" Nymeria doesn't know magic, but she has heard a lot after being around Werther for a long time, and her magic knowledge can even surpass that of some low-level mages.
"oh!"
Rosamond held the wand in one hand and pointed it at the bottom of the fortress: "Ha~~Ha~~"
As she screamed, golden magic balls kept shooting at the group of ghouls, and exploded after touching the snow. Healing and death are opposites, and this magic has no attack on humans and animals.
Sex can also heal wounds, but for undead creatures, the effects of these golden magical powers are more painful than fire.
It takes more than ten seconds for the flames to burn a ghoul to death. The healing magic explodes in the group of ghouls and can directly blow the ghoul into powder!
Renly on the side also knew that, but the Storm Sword in his hand had lightning properties, and the wand in Rosamund's hand had healing properties. I don't know how long this battle would last, so in order to save mana, I had to use the magic that matched the respective weapons.
The open space in the distance is filled with ghouls. Each wildfire bomb of the trebuchet can kill a large area. It won't be long before the ghouls behind them will fill the gap.
They used the remains of their companions as pedals to fill the trench burning with green fire. The black zombies kept rushing into the trench, and the sound of the bones being burned and exploding was no longer crackling.
Instead, it became a roaring sound.
"Throw wildfire!"
"Move it up quickly!"
"Hiss~~~"
The human defenders kept throwing jars of wildfire into the trenches, and the ghouls kept rushing into the trenches to consume the wildfire with their bodies. The two sides entered into a brief tug-of-war.
Time soon came to the afternoon. The winter sun set very early, and the sky was gradually darkening. However, the battlefield of Carlin Bay was extremely bright. Orange torches, blue lightning, and green flames illuminated the entire Neck, even in the distance.
The strange colors on the northern horizon can be seen from Huishuiwang, a hundred miles away.
"Prepare to engage the enemy~~" the human warrior began to shout and at the same time raised the obsidian weapon in his hand.
The corpses finally rushed to the ground of the city wall and were quickly piling up one on top of another. The corpses that followed followed them and climbed up the city wall with claws and claws on the piles of corpses.
Humans were still throwing wild fire cans, but there were too many ghouls to be burned by the wildfire. They piled up several gaps in the fire wall with their remains, and a large number of ghouls surged out of the gaps with their bodies covered in flames.
Entered the city wall.
"Rosamund, let's go to the bottom of the fortress!" Nymeria shouted and ran towards the stairs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay!" Rosamon quickly followed.
Nymeria saw that there was no White Walker attack, and a group of low-level mages were still protecting Renly. There was no problem with safety, so she took the Dornish warriors to support below.
A single ghoul has very weak combat power. If you dodge the weapons in their hands, you can chop them to pieces with a single sword. However, once the number increases, the situation is completely different.
"prick!"
At the edge of the vertical ice city wall, the officer gave an order, and the knights stabbed out neatly with long spears with obsidian tips. A row of corpses approaching the battlements were immediately stabbed to death and fell.
"prick!"
"Roar!"
With another neat stab, the obsidian penetrated the body of the ghoul and extinguished its soul fire in an instant.
Gradually, more and more dead ghosts piled up under the city wall. After three times of heightening the city wall to ten meters, the pile of corpses had already reached five meters high.
"Throw wildfire!" Nymeria shouted, grabbing a noble who was directing the battle.
"No! Who the hell is giving directions!" Great Jon shouted impatiently when he heard the woman's voice.
After he finished shouting, he turned around and looked at the woman in black armor in front of him and Rosamund who was following her. He immediately thought that she was Nymeria and instantly changed his tone: "Wildfire will burn down the city wall!"
"Won't you throw it farther away! If you don't burn it, the remains will be piled up on a slope!" Nymeria didn't care. Everyone on the battlefield was in a state of excitement, and many people would even react naturally when they were caught.
A sword struck back.
"Rosamund, you hide first to recover your magic power. Warrior of Dorne, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Nymeria joined the battle with two hundred Dornish warriors. Rosamund retreated to the steps of the city wall, took out a red magic recovery potion from her belt and held it in her hand: "I wonder what's going on with William.
