There are many high-ranking mages living in Tyrosh City. After receiving Witte's letter, they immediately began to pack their bags and prepare to join the war, but a letter sent from Sunspear disrupted their plans.
The letter was sent by Sauron, who asked the mage to make a pair of inscribed armor.
The mages looked at the drawings sent with the letter, which were folded as thick as a book. After discussion, the mages confirmed that the best blacksmiths in Tyrosh could not make it, so mages like them could only do it themselves.
Sauron is the heir of Tyrosh, and the armor is also used for combat. The mages immediately started preparing to open the furnace without much thought. As for the materials and production costs, Sauron said in his letter that it would be recorded on Witte's head.
While mages from all over the country were gathering towards King's Landing as quickly as possible, humans' counterattacks against the White Walkers were also starting in various places. Veidt and Renly also used the dragon's mobility to provide support everywhere.
According to Robb's tactical arrangement, the White Walkers' army is very long. There is no need to fight head-on in these battles. You can kill as many zombies as you can. When the situation goes wrong, retreat immediately. You only need to wait until the White Walkers reach the snow line.
One third of the time can be consumed.
Crowtree Hall is also called Crowtree City. It is named after a huge weirwood tree on the hill in the middle of the castle. Every evening, a group of ravens will roost in the tree for the night. However, the weirwood tree has long since died, and the Blackwood family
It has been passed down from generation to generation that the Bracken family poisoned the tree.
After the hard-fought battle at Moat Cailin, the White Walkers army had entered their own territory. The people of the Westerlands and the Riverlands discussed giving them some color. After William's suggestion, the battle location was chosen near Raventree City.
, prepare to use all cavalry and mages to launch a surprise attack on the ghoul army.
"How dare Robb think of letting us knights dig graves!"
"Hurry up and work, the mage is here."
Two knights of the West were in the public cemetery outside Raventree Hall, using their shovels to dig open the earth on the cemetery until they saw the coffin.
Several other knights came over pushing carts, and the mage picked up a clay pot filled with wildfire and placed it on the coffin.
The families whose castles in Hejian Land are close to the river have a tradition of water burial, and the corpses will be devoured by the fish and shrimps in the river. Other families still bury them in the ground. This time of hasty retreat, there are still many corpses that cannot be cleaned in time.
Where there are churches of the Seven Gods, the remains are placed in underground crypts. The bones here have been burned, but there are still a large number of wild cemeteries. This kind of place is the largest source of troops for the White Walkers, and Robb arranged a cemetery here.
Ambush tactics.
To awaken the corpses underground for the first time, the White Walkers need to approach them personally, and powerful wildfires are waiting for them in the cemetery. Without replenishing the corpses, the troops will soon be exhausted in the face of constant harassment by human troops.
The huge cemetery stretches over several hills, and the digging knights stand in a row, digging a hole in the ground every five meters. This is the maximum attack range after the wildfire can is detonated underground.
After digging and setting wildfires in the morning, the people of the Westerland and the Riverland went into the woods to wait. In the afternoon, a dozen White Walkers led a group of corpses to the cemetery to replenish their troops.
The corpses broke open the coffins one after another, and more of them directly peeled off the soil and crawled out of the ground. In the strange eyes of the white ghosts, familiar clay pots were also brought out from the soil by the corpses at the same time.
The White Walkers had already tasted the power of wildfire in the Cailin Bay Fortress. They had never faced such a situation before, so they paused their spellcasting and gathered together to discuss.
The weather in the south is gradually getting warmer, which is very uncomfortable for the White Walkers, and the magic power in the body will gradually boil as the temperature rises, which means that more magic power is needed to control the group of zombies.
The White Walkers' thinking was slow. After half an hour of discussion, they dispersed and continued to resurrect the corpses in the cemetery. The further south they went, the harder the battle became for the White Walkers. They had to get these corpses.
Just as they were digging to their heart's content, more than a dozen fireballs shot towards the cemetery from the top of the mountain in the distance.
The White Walkers quickly controlled the corpses to block the fireballs with their bodies, and used magic to raise the ice wall, but it was of no avail. There were clay pots everywhere in the cemetery, and many of the seals had been opened in advance, and the green wildfire inside flowed everywhere. As long as
A small spark can ignite it.
boom!
The wildfire explosion of a clay pot instantly ignited nearby clay pots, and green flames quickly swept through the entire cemetery.
"It's so enjoyable! It's worth it that I've been tired all morning!" Harry Bracken, who was lying on the top of the mountain to investigate, clenched his fists and hammered the ground frantically.
"Mount your horse and prepare to attack." William stood up from the snow next to him and ran down the hillside.
Green fire overflowed in the cemetery. After burning out, a few unlucky White Walkers were burned to death by the wildfire. The remaining dozen or so had more magic power in their bodies and used ice magic to resist the flames. After they gathered the corpses, they prepared
As they retreated, the rumble of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
The cavalry's charge formation has now been adjusted. The mage is no longer protected by the cavalry at the rear. Instead, ten young mages ride at the front. Half of them must use long-range magic to suppress the White Walkers, and the other half must
Use a magic shield to block the magic from the White Walkers.
Facing thousands of heavily armed knights eager for revenge, a dozen corpseless White Walkers were unable to resist. After suffering a small number of casualties, a few ice crystal heads that were not crushed by horse hooves were taken away as trophies.
Already.
By the time the Night King commanded the army of ghouls to come over for support, the human cavalry had already disappeared. After running into the mountains, even the horse hoof prints on the mud were wiped away.
This is the territory of the Riverlands. The mages are responsible for detecting the movements of the White Walkers. The cavalry troops attack in the mountains near Crowtree Hall. Wherever the number of wights is small, they will be attacked in less than half an hour. Slowly
On earth, the White Walkers hid in Raventree Hall Castle.
Outside Crowtree City is a large plain. What was once fertile farmland is now full of undead creatures with only skeletons left wandering around.
On the top of the mountain in the distance, William's cloak embroidered with lions was in tatters. He had experienced fierce battles in the past two days.

Harry carefully recalled the legends and knowledge about the White Walkers: "I don't think you've heard of them, right?"
William took out his gold pocket watch and looked at the time: "It must have been the vampire's idea to let them hide in the city."
"What should we do? We are all cavalry and cannot attack the city. Should we wait until spring comes?" Harry really couldn't think of how to deal with the White Walkers hiding in the strong castle.
William: "Every human town has built a mage tower. Even if the White Walkers occupy the city's mage tower, we will still control it."
"Mage Tower?" Harry looked toward the highest tower in Raventree City.
Sure enough, less than two minutes after the two people spoke, a crow-shaped figure was suspended on the top of the tower. Then the figure changed and turned into a red arrow, with the tip pointing upside down at the castle and constantly floating up and down.
.
The night watchman has been raising little white spiders for almost ten years. Spider silk products are not used by ordinary people, and there are many in the hands of mages. Apart from the fact that they are not fire-resistant, they are really cheap and easy to use.
A spider silk rope mixed with hemp and as thick as a little finger, started from the magic control room in Crowtree Hall, extended to the outside of the city through the most inconspicuous gap in the castle, and was buried in the soil until it reached the top of the mountain. Several mages were passing through.
The spider silk controls the magic circle on the detection tower from a distance.
"What's the use of this red arrow? Let's attack here?" Harry asked again.
William smiled happily: "Just wait and see the good show!"
After saying that, the two continued to lie down in the snow and wait.
The cavalry resting place in the mountain forest, although it was not a big victory in the past few days, but after switching from passive defense to active offensive harassment, it killed many White Walkers, which greatly shocked the morale of the knights and soldiers. Wherever Edmure walked, his face
All have smiles.
"Duke Edmure!" Ser Brynden, the head of Brightwood, ran over on horseback.
Brynden did not dismount. Edmure raised his head and put his hand in front of his brow to block the sun: "What's the matter?"
"Why did the crow emblem on the top of my castle turn into an arrow? Is there any other attack plan?" Brynden learned about this through several scouts at home.
Edmure laughed heartily: "Aha, as expected, you guessed it. That red arrow is a signal to the allies, indicating that there is a White Walker hidden inside and they can attack here."
Brynden still did not dismount. He looked at Edmure from above and asked: "Our cavalry and mages from the west are here, and the infantry is hundreds of miles away. Who else will come to support?"
Edmure put his palms down and his fingers together, and kept flipping his little finger up and down with his thumb raised: "Of course it is something born to fly, dragon!"
"You~~!" Brynden turned his horse's head and said in a very angry tone: "Edmure, that is my family's castle! Do you want the dragon to come for support because you want my family to turn into Harrenhal?"
Edmure also lost his temper and shouted loudly: "The overall situation! You have to take care of the overall situation. If the dragon doesn't come and burn the White Walkers to death, Raventree City will become a base for the White Walkers."
The quarrel between the two spread, and all the knights from the Tully family gathered around.
"Edmure!" An angry Brynden tightened the reins to steady his anxious horse: "Who arranged this tactic?"
The people of the Riverlands did not believe that Edmure had this kind of tactical acumen.
"Me." Edmure wanted to take the credit for himself, but just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by his uncle "Blackfish" Brynden behind him.
Both of them are named Brynden. Brynden of the Tully family is known far and wide as a warrior who is good at fighting. Brynden of the Brightwood family is the same name given to his son because the old Earl admires him.
"This is the result of our discussion at the military meeting." Blackfish answered the question for Edmure.
"Is it Harry Bracken?" Brynden yelled and asked, but did not answer: "Is it William?"
Brynden looked at everyone's expressions and knew that it was William of the West who proposed the plan. He waved his riding crop to make the horses run towards the castle, and turned around and cursed viciously: "Edmure! You have caused great harm to my family!
"
They quickly ran to the top of the mountain. The Blackwood family and the knights had already arrived early. This was the place where they grew up. As long as they stood on the top of the mountain, they could see the whole castle very clearly.
"Brynden, are you clear?" his brother Alyn asked.
He turned over and collapsed on the ground: "It's over!"
The brothers around also gathered around: "What's the end?"
"Crowtree is over!"
Brynden turned to look at the castle. He was only the heir of the Blackwood family, a small knight, and was unable to stop the tactics set by Edmure and William.
What's more, this is implementing the strategy of Lord Commander Robb, and Brynden is even more unable to stop the coming dragon. Several children with dragons did not participate in the battle, or they were Petwaha with red stripes on a white background.
, that's the King's Dragon, or Odaweying.
Brynden thought for a while and decided that it would be better to climb to the top of the mountain to take a last look at the family castle.
The cold wind was blowing and the sky was cloudless. Only people with excellent eyesight could see a small black dot approaching quickly in the sky.
More and more people raised their heads and looked at the sky. The little black dot was moving extremely fast, and it was dragging blue magic ripples behind it. It was because some kind of acceleration magic had been activated.
The White Walkers in Crowtree City also discovered something strange in the sky. The zombies began to pour out of various openings in the castle. Some jumped out of the windows and climbed the walls. The White Walkers were also using magic to jump out the furthest distance.
They are too slow, or the black spots come too fast.
It took William and Harry on the top of the mountain less than five breaths from seeing the black spot to being able to see its outline clearly.
"It's Werther! Hahaha!" Harry stood up and laughed, no longer worried that the White Walkers would find him.
William also stood up: "I promised you that I would help you."
Harry looked at William sincerely and bowed deeply to him: "Thank you! Now that the Blackwood family has lost the castle, our family has returned to the same starting point."
William quickly stretched out his hand to help him up: "We are best friends! We are friends with a common oath!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two of them turned to look at Crowtree City again. The giant dragon with a white background and a red back was shrouded in the strange light of magic and rushed towards the castle. There was a man above its head.
A knight wearing skeletal armor. The knight squatted down and held his scales with both hands. Beams of magical light spread from his arms to the dragon, and to every part of the dragon's body.
The charging dragon roared, and golden red explosive dragon flames spurted out from its huge mouth. Aoda Weiying twisted his wings slightly to adjust his flight direction.
Buzz~~~
The huge body flew past the treetops above William and Harry's heads.
"Ah~~~" The wind brought by the body and wings was like a storm, causing the two of them to stagger around and unable to open their eyes. They could only hug the tree trunk tightly to prevent their bodies from being blown away.
When the storm passed and the snow fell, William and Harry emerged from the snow.
"I almost got blown away by the wind! It was so scary!"
"If my toenails scratch me even a little bit, I will turn into meat paste!"
The two of them came out and patted the snow on their bodies and kept sighing.
When the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain again, in their sight, a huge orange-red candle continued to shine on the white plain.
The Castle of Crowtree City is melting like a candle. The top buildings have disappeared and turned into lava flowing everywhere. The bottom part of the castle is submerged under the lava, leaving only a few meters high base that is slightly raised in the lava pool.
.
Golden-red light shone on the faces of William and Harry.
Harry: "Dragon flames can literally melt rock."
William: "I can probably understand how desperate the black-hearted Harren of Harrenhal was when he died."
The sound of horns resounded throughout the mountains, signaling not an attack but a retreat.
Crowtree City has been destroyed, everything inside has become part of the lava, and the sparse corpses on the plain outside the city are gradually falling to the ground.
After two days of lava cooling, the former Crowtree City will turn into a dark mass of solid rock.
Werther and Odaweying did not fly back to Raventree, but continued flying south to support Renly's troops.
The human cavalry ran away after the fight, and Werther also ran away after the kill, no longer interested in fighting, and no longer took the initiative to find the Night King. He followed the tactical arrangement and waited for the White Walker army to slowly enter the rhythm of human war.
