Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

Chapter 262 The First Battle of the Long Night

The long night was rapidly expanding from the northwest to the southeast, changing its slope every day. Every day, hundreds of leagues were included in the long night.

When Lysa Tully, the current manager of the Eyrie, saw the strange phenomenon in the sky and found that the sun was rising and setting more and more far away every day, the days were getting shorter and shorter, and the weather was getting colder, she reacted quickly and immediately issued an order to swear to lock the bloody gate of the valley, and was determined to completely isolate and close the valley.

Because the North was shrouded in the long night, the weather became extremely cold, and marching became extremely difficult, Viserys's second regiment and Edmure's river army stopped marching north and stayed in the well-supplied Cailin Bay and Winterfell.

At the same time, in Stonetown, Viserys ordered the new regiment to station on the spot and prepare for battle.

Coincidentally, after confirming the situation, Jaime Lannister in the direction of King's Landing sent Adam Marbrand to try to contact the Targaryen army, so the two sides had a secret talk on the merchant ship on the Blackwater River. After Cersei in King's Landing became crazy, Jaime blocked Cersei's intelligence sources, making the Queen Mother know nothing about the situation outside King's Landing and completely blind.

It is worth mentioning that the more Jaime found in King's Landing, the more disappointed he was with Cersei, and even turned from love to hate.

Unlike the original world line, Jaime did not learn about Cersei's use of body to win over and control power from his cousin Lancel, who was sent by the conservative faction of the Warrior Sons to try to persuade Jaime to break away from Cersei to reach a secret cooperation until he arrived in King's Landing this time. As long as he was willing to check, Jaime could easily find Cersei's betrayal of their feelings. In a short period of time, Jaime experienced the baptism of anger, madness, and pain in his heart. He was also going crazy.

In resentment and confusion, Jaime decided to break the jar and let Ser Adam contact Targaryen, either to die at the hands of Targaryen or to die at the hands of the White Walkers. In a sense, Jaime did not awaken, become firm and honorable again, but he was numb and chose to start. Isn't the Wildfire Warrior's Son in King's Landing, which he has been thinking about, investigating? Let Cersei and the Warrior's Son fight. He is tired of these things in King's Landing and doesn't want to care about them.

As for the North, which has been shrouded in the long night, human activities have become extremely difficult in the cold of the long night. People in all castles and winter towns choose to hide in their nests and lean on the fire to keep warm. Most of the time, they are motionless, keeping low consumption and temperature.

Only places like the Great Wall, where there is sufficient oil, are still using a large amount of oil for lighting and heating, and building fortifications.

And the long wait for preparations finally came to an end on this day.

But on the day when the White Walkers launched the general attack, the first place where the White Walkers appeared was not the Great Wall. It was an island in the east of the Bay of Seals-the north of Skags Island.

Skags Island is a large island at the exit of the Bay of Seals. In name, this island is part of the North and is subject to Winterfell. However, it has little contact with the mainland and is actually autonomous. Here live the barbaric tribes inherited from the ancestors, as well as the uncivilized cannibals.

This island is almost isolated from the world. But its extreme north, the part extending northward from Skagen Island and Skaggs, has surpassed the Great Wall and reached further north.

Seawater is different from ordinary water. The salinity of seawater is high, and the temperature required for freezing is lower than that of fresh water. Moreover, the seawater is turbulent and the waves are surging, making it difficult to form freezing conditions. Because of the salinity and fluidity, seawater often does not freeze into solid ice even if it forms supercooled water in extremely cold weather.

As the long nights cover longer and longer, the seawater in Seal Bay has become a large area of ​​supercooled water.

And the freezing of supercooled water does not lack temperature, but ice nuclei formed by various impurities such as suspended particles and snowflakes.

And today, the north wind on Skaros Island is particularly cold, carrying snowflakes and cold air.

Pieces of ice-blue ice crystals fall into the water, and in an instant, these pieces of ice crystals condense into clusters of needle-shaped or thin-flaked ice crystals on the sea surface. Ice crystals precipitate fresh water condensation in the seawater, and the salt in the seawater is precipitated during the freezing process, forming a mixture of fresh water crystals, "brine" and bubbles containing salt, which makes the sea ice at this moment present a strange light blue.

Then, a moment later, the light blue needle-shaped and thin ice crystals rapidly expanded to form a mass of paste-like or sponge-like ice flakes, which connected on the sea surface and further froze into ice skin or ice cakes floating on the sea surface.

When the cold wind blew, ice crystals and snowflakes fell on the sea surface. In less than half an hour, the sea surface was already covered with this ice. The ice body rapidly expanded on the sea surface and extended in the thickness direction, forming solid gray ice and white ice covering the sea surface at an unimaginable speed.

And that's not all. Under the frozen sea surface, a strange ice crystal structure spread downwards. The ice crystal structure. Like a cold ice tentacle, it continues to spread downwards. Wherever the ice tentacles passed, sea urchins, starfish, fish, shells and other marine life had no time to escape and were quickly frozen.

This kind of ice tentacles, called "death icicles", spread one by one, like trees taking root, and went deep into the seabed.

Because of the pressure of the sea water, the deeper it goes, the greater the pressure, the more saturated the salinity, and the more difficult it is to freeze.

But this sea area only took about an hour to become a completely covered ice and snow ice plain.

And under the ice and snow, the cold wind whistled, and in the darkness, black shadows appeared from the frozen sea snow, blue eyes in the darkness like thousands of stars, and thousands of corpses walked quietly in the snow.

In the middle of the team, there are also white ghosts wearing black ice armor, like ice elves, showing a strange elegance, mysterious and dangerous breath. They ride on horses, bears, direwolves, and mammoths that are black and dead, and their mounts are not only corpses. In the team, there are white ghosts riding on huge ice spiders like hounds.

This army is cold and silent, marching in the dark.

A fishing boat of the Skags tribe on Skane Island was the first human to see this army. They were not well prepared for food, so they ventured out in the cold night, fishing while searching for the remaining natives of Skane Island around the island.

The Skags are huge, hairy, savage and cruel. Sea fish and the natives of Skag Island are their "food sources". When they are short of food, they often sail to the nearby Skag Island, capture women, slaughter men, and then use their hearts and livers to hold a banquet on the pebble beach - this custom is called the Skag Feast by the scholars who study these indigenous people.

In the records of the Citadel, the natives of Skag Island have been eaten to extinction by the Skags, but in fact, there are still natives on Skag Island, hiding and surviving in the gaps between the rocks and forests of the island.

Today is the end of the two races described in "The Edge of the World" written by Badel, a former maester of Eastwatch.

The fishing boat of the Skags people was frozen by the suddenly frozen sea water. They relied on their thick fur and luxuriant hair to be able to move in the cold night, and were worried about how to return to Skag Island.

Suddenly, one of them screamed loudly.

Their language was a distorted ancient language that was difficult for the Westeros people to understand, but there was no doubt that they saw the marching corpse tide on the frozen sea.

The killing began with the terrifying screams of the Skaggs hunters and the roars of the wights. The weapons of the Skaggs were the weapons of the ancestors that had been passed down for a long time since the time of the ancestors, obsidian knives and arrowheads, and sharp weapons made of unicorn horns. But facing the wights, the Skaggs, who lacked the means of fire, had no ability to resist.

The army of wights only separated a small team, surrounded them, slaughtered them, and drowned the team in an instant.

The torn and slaughtered corpses soon became part of the corpse tide army.

The cold wind was biting, and the terrified and piercing screams from the cannibals did not spread far, and they dissipated in the whistling wind.

The army of the white walkers and the corpse tide continued to move south, walking on the frozen sea and landing in Skaggs.

Whoosh--

In the howling cold wind, Rickon Stark and his dire wolf Shaggydog suddenly looked up at the deep dark sky in the north.

The six-year-old boy now looked like a wild man, with messy hair growing randomly, and covered with furs of various animals, wrapped tightly like a ball.

Shaggydog was baring his teeth.

The cold froze the hot breath exhaled by the dire wolf, and in an instant, there was another layer of ice stains around its mouth.

Even though he was dressed as thickly as a ball, Rickon was still shivering with cold. He suddenly felt thirsty, but found that the leather water bag hanging around his waist had frozen hard. He had been waiting on the coastline for a long, long time. A few months ago, the six-year-old boy often dreamed of a voice calling him: "Go, Rickon, go."

The wild woman Osha heard about his dream and took him to the south to find a boat without hesitation, but the island was primitive and huge. It took them a long time to escape to the island, and it would only be more troublesome to get out.

And they had to avoid the Skaggs tribe who hunted all living things.

They originally came to seek refuge from the wild nobles on the island, the Stern clan and the Crow clan. These two clans were relatively civilized compared to the more barbaric cannibal tribes. They had rebelled against the rule of the Stark family in Winterfell a hundred years ago, and even killed Basilon Stark, the Duke of Winterfell. But they were later reconquered by Stark and swore allegiance.

Rickon barely got refuge thanks to the remaining power Stark left in the two clans a hundred years ago.

But when Rickon wanted to leave and return to the North, they refused to help.

They only agreed to send someone to send Rickon to the place where he landed, and let them find a way to find help from passing ships.

This is a nearly wild place. They waited from before the long night to after the long night, and even built a shelter in the cracks of the rocks on the shore, but they never saw a passing ship.

The Skaggs tribe mentioned that the frequent southern ships had become sparse since a certain day. The arrival of the long night and the severe cold weather made human activities less and less.

The night and the cold wind made sailing extremely dangerous, and the sea road to Eastwatch had stopped working.

But Rickon would appear here every day, and a voice told him that it was here.

He threw the water bag to the dying fire, trying to let the embers help him melt the water in the water bag.

Oka, who was wearing the same thick clothes and walking with difficulty, came back with a pile of dry firewood: "Does the voice in your dream know that our firewood will soon be exhausted, little master? The weather is too cold, and even picking branches is dangerous and difficult." The wild woman's tone was very calm, she said, "We are dying."

"Something is happening." Rickon pointed to the north and said.

"Really?" The wild woman put the dry firewood into the fire, and the cold wind whistled, blowing away the sparks and extinguishing them. She was indifferent to the north and only said, "Look more at the south, look at the ship you mentioned."

She sat down tiredly, beside the warm fire, and stopped talking.

Rickon turned south.

When the firewood pile was about to go out again, Osha stood up: "It seems that it is not today."

"Ship!" Suddenly, Rickon shouted.

On the dark sea, a glimmer of light was flickering on the sea.

Osha reacted immediately and wanted to add firewood to mark the direction, but the firewood had burned out. She reacted immediately, tore off the outermost layer of fur on her body and threw it into the fire.

Rickon also reacted to this and quickly peeled off his fur to help the fire.

The ship found them.

When Rickon approached the ship, he saw the sail on it, with the white mermaid flag of the Manderlay family hanging on it.

Not long after, the ship approached, but they did not dare to get too close. They were afraid that the big ship would hit the reef in the dark, so they only lowered a small boat.

The strange knight and the man found them on the rocks by the coast in a small boat. Seeing the direwolf, the strange knight immediately asked: "Is it Rickon Stark?"

Osha was still on guard, but Rickon had already responded: "It's me."

"Great, we thought it would take a while to find you. I didn't expect you to be here."

It turned out that the Manderly family had always known Rickon's approximate location, but they didn't tell anyone. After Stark recovered the North, Wyman secretly informed Arya of the intelligence. The situation in the North was complicated. In order to protect Rickon, they secretly made a plan to find Rickon and take him back to the North.

But the weather was bad. The Manderly family's ship set out from the Bay of Bites before the long night, but it didn't arrive at Skaggs Island until now. There was no way, sailing against the wind, and there were long nights and severe cold without sunlight. If it weren't for the insistence of the North Knights, the captain and the sailors would have wanted to turn around and leave as early as the long night came.

Fortunately, things went unexpectedly smoothly.

But just as the boat took Rickon and Osha to the big ship and was about to climb up the rope ladder of the big ship. Suddenly, a strange and bone-chilling violent wind blew from the north, and the cold wind whistled, blowing out strange flute sounds on the reefs and the sea.

Like the screams of evil spirits, harsh and unpleasant.

In this cold wind, everyone felt a chill that seemed to come from the soul level, making their souls and bodies tremble uncontrollably.

Even though the torches in their hands were not extinguished, they were wrapped tightly in several layers of thick wool. But the bone-chilling cold still wrapped around them, and the cold seemed to grow tentacles, wrapping everyone in place in that short moment.

Whoosh-whoosh--

This bone-chilling cold wind whistled non-stop, blowing the big ship creaking and rolling non-stop.

The cold wind also brought pieces of ice crystals with strange and beautiful blue colors.

A piece of ice crystal fell into the flame, making a strange hissing sound.

The sound awakened the people who were imprisoned by the sudden eruption of coldness, which seemed to freeze their souls.

The rowing sailor asked with a trembling voice: "What's going on? What's this wind?"

"What is that?"

Suddenly, someone pointed to the sea in the north.

Clusters of frost and pieces of ice lotus, like snakes and splashed milk, spread and stretched rapidly on the sea.

The climbing sailors screamed and shouted: "It's ice, it's going to freeze, climb up quickly, go!"

On the deck, the experienced captain shouted loudly: "Lower the sail, lower the sail, take advantage of this north wind, and leave this area quickly!"

The deck was in chaos, and the sailors and captain who were originally watching the excitement on the deck reacted immediately. Some people went to twist the anchor that had just dropped, and some went to the cabin to ask the oarsmen to row and start. In cold weather, fingers are not flexible, and it becomes difficult to untie the sail. A boatswain directly drew his sword and cut the rope of the sail.

As the sail fell, the big ship began to shake and move before the anchor was fully raised.

At one time, many people who didn't hold on firmly fell down.

Rickon's dire wolf was still on the boat. Rickon had just climbed onto the deck and could only hold on to the side railing of the deck in the turbulence. He shouted: "Shaggy dog!"

Shaggy dog ​​was wrapped in a large fishing net on the boat. The sailors finally wrapped it with the fishing net and were about to pull it onto the deck. But when the big ship suddenly started, Shaggy dog, who was still on the boat, fell directly into the sea.

The boat had not been tied to the big ship yet.

There were two sailors on it. They watched the big ship start and held on to Shaggy dog's fishing net tightly.

One wolf and two people fell into the cold sea water and kept floundering.

At this time, the sailors who stood firmly on the deck reacted and immediately responded: "Hurry up and pull up the fishing net!"

The cold wind was biting and howling. The big ship made an unpleasant creaking sound and slowly increased its speed.

One wolf and two people were pulled onto the deck. When the cold wind blew, a layer of white frost had formed on their bodies. They shivered constantly. But people had no time to care about them. After the speed of the ship increased, the ship began to shake in the strong wind, and it broke the sea ice from time to time, making it difficult for people to stand firmly on the deck.

Rickon threw himself on the hairy dog, ignoring the cold, and kept rubbing the hair of the hairy dog ​​to rub off the frozen white frost.

Except Rickon, no one cared about the situation of the two people and the wolf who had just been pulled up.

They were all shocked by the strange scene on the sea in the dark night.

But seeing the turbulent black sea in the cold wind, the frost with a strange blue light seemed to be some kind of living thing, rapidly expanding and spreading on the sea, wrapping the endless black sea.

Although the speed of the ship increased, the frost on the sea was still chasing behind the big ship like chasing prey.

This was a scene that all the crew would never forget. As they rode away in the wind, the vast and dark sea in the night froze into a huge blue-white ice field under their gaze.

The ship was accelerating away, but could not keep away from the spreading ice field.

The ice fields further away were gradually shrouded in darkness and disappeared from the end of the field of vision.

They couldn't imagine how wide the ice field was and how far it extended. They just stared at this numbing scene with their mouths open, and the shock in their hearts could not subside for a long time.

The same scene also happened in Ice Bay in western Westeros at the same time.

Ice Bay is in the western part of the Northern Territory, at the mouth of the Milk River that starts from the Fangs of Frost and Snow. It is adjacent to the ice-covered coast with huge glaciers all year round. The seawater here has strong fluidity, and there are also convections formed by ocean currents and seawater entering the sea.

Under normal circumstances, this sea area is difficult to freeze.

The Bear Island of the Mormont family lives in the sea, and the people here make a living by fishing and hunting in this bitter cold sea.

However, the same thing happened here when the weird wind blew in the direction of Seal Bay and caused the water to freeze.

A strange cold wind blew, and the biting cold wind brought dazzling blue ice crystals and froze large areas of the sea.

In a very short period of time, Bear Island was no longer an isolated island separated from the northern border, but became a land that could directly reach the northern continent via land and ice.

If someone traces the records, they will easily find that everything happening in the east and west seas at this moment happened in coordination and at the same time.

This was a planned and organized "offensive."

On the frozen sea, tens of thousands of armies of White Walkers and corpses followed. They would cross the sea and rush to the northern land of Westeros continent.

Since the Cold God has such power and can freeze the sea with cold wind from east to west while marching, why does he still have to take care of the Great Wall?

Let's go back in time to a while ago.

Direction of the Great Wall.

Since entering the long night, every section of the one-hundred-mile Great Wall has a cluster of flames burning in a huge iron pot day and night, and various castle towers have been sealed. The stables have been sealed on all sides, leaving only one from the ground. The outgoing ventilation holes are piled with hay to protect against wind and cold.

When the defense was changed, the kitchen fire and the warmth of the underground soldier cave with the fireplace were the favorite places for the night watchmen and soldiers from all over the place to gather. Other places were surprisingly cold. Since the defense of Wengcheng in the south was built, no one wanted to continue wandering outside. They all hunkered down in a warm corner and refused to move.

Under the long night cold wave, even the woolen quilts in the towers with windproof measures became extremely cold. In such an environment, some people would rather stay by the night fire on the city wall than return to the cold bed in the tower to sleep. .

As for activities outside, unless there is a royal order that allows unlimited consumption of oil for lighting and heating, even the members of the Amber family in the north, who claim to be the most cold-resistant, are not willing to expose themselves to the dark and cold in such an environment. Outside the door.

The southern knights brought by Viserys wore the warmest equipment in this environment. When they had nothing to do, they could hardly do without the fireplace and kitchen. Even when they went back to the soldiers' cave to sleep, they had to bring a bag of hot water plugs. Only when you get into bed can you fall asleep.

Viserys tried to imagine the consumption of fighting the White Walkers under such circumstances. The supplies he provided to the Great Wall contained a lot of oil. However, after experiencing it personally in the cold night, he considered a long-term battle. I am afraid that the oil that had been sent to the Great Wall might still be insufficient.

But the long nights made it difficult to form an effective supply line even on the King's Road.

It's too cold.

Viserys had no doubt that no one, even the northerners and wildlings with strong cold resistance, would be able to function normally in the cold environment during the long night without fire for warmth.

There are too few activities that humans can do in this cold environment, and the range of activities they can do is too small.

And this is just the beginning of the long night, and the colder weather is yet to come.

Viserys was thinking that there might not be an army of White Walkers to attack, and a large number of humans would die in the long and cold winter, leading to a sharp decline in the population.

These days, Viserys wanted to go to Brynden to say something more than once. The attack of the White Walkers was delayed, and his uneasiness at being on the Great Wall deepened.

On this day, Viserys flew high into the sky in the darkness at noon as usual, intending to go south to continue observing and recording the movements of the Long Night Line, and at the same time go to Stone Hall Town to see how the negotiations with James King's Landing went. The cold night enveloped the land, making it difficult for even the messenger crows to deliver the message.

The long night makes Westeros' message delivery even more difficult, as if it has entered hibernation and is slow to react.

The only means by which the Great Wall can transmit messages to the outside world, apart from Viserys, is a glass candle that Viserys received from Brynden and handed over to the management of Grandfather Aemon.

But just as Viserys set off.

To the north of the Great Wall, seven beams of icy blue light suddenly erupted from the northern line of the Great Wall that stretched for hundreds of miles, piercing the thick black clouds in the sky north of the Great Wall.

Viserys is in Castle Black, with one beam in front and three beams on each side.

At this moment, Viserys couldn't help but tremble, and the air in the dark night seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in a short moment.

He had seen that kind of light, in Braavos.

The attack of the White Walkers is coming.

And just as Viserys expected, the White Walkers' first attack was a powerful blow that had been accumulated for thousands of years.

That kind of ice-blue light column is an ice magic that requires a great cost to summon the mysterious ice to build a huge ice dragon.

And this time, the God of Cold actually created seven in one go.

Woo-woo-woo-

The moment the strange light beam burst out, the guards on the Great Wall blew the horn.

Countless horns sounded at the same time on the Great Wall, and the guards poured oil into the flame pot of the beacon fire to make the flame brighter, indicating that the crisis was coming.

The night watchmen and coalition soldiers who were warming in the hiding caves and towers responded immediately, put on sweaters, put on armor and weapons, and went out to assemble.

Needless to say, even if they assembled on the other side of the Great Wall, with the 700-foot Great Wall blocking their view, they could not see the beam of light in the north, but they could see the dark clouds in the sky over the Great Wall surging rapidly from north to south.

The cold wind from the north made the beacon fire and flags on the wall flutter, and even some frozen flagpoles broke and fell from the wall.

The sky and earth changed color, the wind was cold, and all these things were saying the same thing.

The White Walkers were coming.

The wildlings in the northern city of the Great Wall saw more directly the vision brought by the beam of light connecting the sky and the earth in the north. The sky was filled with dark clouds, as if some huge monster was surging in the clouds.

The wildling warriors looked at the vision outside the city in disbelief. The wind was cold and they climbed up the city to the sound of the horn, lit the fire, and prepared for battle.

Castle Black.

Jon Snow and his White Ghost quickly passed through the tunnel in the city wall and came to the gate of Castle Black. They quickly summoned several Night's Watchmen assigned to him by the commander, ran to the castle gate, pulled the noose, and opened the gate.

He was about to run into the command post in the wildling city according to the drill and meet with the wildling commanders Mance and Tormund.

But as soon as he left the city gate, Jon was attracted by several eye-catching beams of light in the sky. The strange and terrifying scene made him freeze in place. It was not until several horns and chaotic running sounds came into his ears that he reacted with a worried face and continued to run towards the command post of the city.

During the run, he couldn't help but look back in the direction of the Black Castle: "Arya, little sister, you must not get into trouble."

These days, Jon is not at ease. He is entangled in his heart. First, Arya led the troops to help. He met Arya. After three years of separation, the brother-sister relationship that has become stronger and stronger made him happy in his heart. He wanted to talk to Arya about their experiences for several days and nights. However, the two busy parties only met briefly and ate a familiar meal of Winterfell in the restaurant opposite each other. There was no time to say a thousand words, and they went to their posts.

Arya wanted to go with him to the Barn to see the wildlings under his management, but connecting with the defense force was a trivial matter. Arya was now the Duke of Winterfell and needed to be responsible for the northern soldiers under his command, especially with Aegon Targaryen by his side. Although Arya had no actual conflict with Aegon, if all the affairs of the North were handed over to Aegon, the nominal governor of the Northern Alliance, then Arya's connection with the northern lords would probably be replaced by Aegon sooner or later.

She had to take care of the trivial matters that a Duke of Winterfell had to take care of, and arrange people to control the army in the North.

Without waiting for Jon and Arya to have time for in-depth communication.

King Viserys and his First Regiment Task Force arrived at the Wall right after. In order to welcome the king, Arya had more and more things to do, and Jon never thought that his little illegitimate son, the "wildling affairs officer" in the Night's Watch, would be related to Targaryen.

Master Aemon quietly found Jon and told him the "life experience" brought by King Viserys. He couldn't react at all. He couldn't connect himself, the bastard of Winterfell, with Jaehaerys of the Targaryen family.

At that time, Jon was extremely grateful for the continuous harassment of the wights. Taking advantage of the wights' harassment, he almost "fled" from Master Aemon to the command post.

Then, Jon felt that he was living in a dream.

He didn't want to see Master Aemon, fearing that the king would summon him one day, and began to avoid meeting Arya. He immersed himself in work, obsessed with the speculation that Master Aemon asked Sam to bring him about the "horn" he dug from the Frostfang, and obsessed with the legendary stories Sam saw in the "secret book" of the school that the king brought to Master Aemon.

It turned out that the "magic horn" that Mance surrendered to Stannis and was burned by the red-robed woman was fake. The small horn in his hand was the real "Winter Horn", and the function of the Winter Horn was not to blow down the Great Wall, but to build the Great Wall.

Jon was immersed in his work and these stories. He knew he was trying to avoid it because he didn't know how to accept his identity. He never wanted to be just an ordinary night watchman.

Should he be happy about his Targaryen origin? Or should he feel sad for his father Eddard Stark? Or should he think about his parents who he had never met and caused the Targaryen dynasty to interrupt its rule?

He didn't know.

Now, the attack of the White Walkers finally came. Jon shook his head and threw everything behind him.

Perhaps it was the crisis that came. The strange scene made Jon feel dangerous and dead. He suddenly realized: he had sworn to be a night watchman. No matter what his origin was, he had given everything to the Great Wall. Whether it was Jaehaerys or Jon, at this moment, he was a night watchman on the Great Wall.

The cold wind was blowing, and Jon arrived at his command post.

On the other side, in the Nightfort. Stannis stood on the wall with a stern face, staring at the strange blue beam in the north beside the beacon. He was ready to meet his "destiny". He asked Melisandre beside him: "What is that?"

Melisandre was only wearing a thin priest's robe. She looked solemn and gave an ambiguous answer: "The direct war with the alien gods has finally begun."

——

Under the night, the blue beam gradually dissipated. On the ground where the blue beam disappeared, thousands of ice-blue eyes looked towards the Great Wall at the same time. When the beam condensed into a frost dragon made of black ice and spread its wings in the dark night sky and flew towards the Great Wall, countless wights buried under the snow, in the tree holes, and in the pits followed the footsteps of the frost dragon and launched an attack to the south under the command of the aliens riding various corpses and ice spiders.

Soon, the commanders defending the city found that the alien army was just as Viserys had discussed with the commanders before.

The attack launched by the White Walker commander was a comprehensive, thorough, and saturation attack. Every key point and castle on the Great Wall could easily see the dense and countless dense arrays heading towards the Great Wall under the dark night in the north.

They had anticipated this possibility, so they prepared catapults and long-range crossbows to remotely project burning hot oil and heated boiling asphalt.

But the defenders still ignored it after all - or simply could not find a way to fight against the ice dragon magic that Viserys mentioned many times.

According to Viserys, the ice dragon is a magical creation, and the specific caster must be eliminated to break the ice dragon magic. But in this case, who should they send and how should they kill the caster?

Watching, at seven points, the huge ice dragons that took shape were like seven huge blue ghost fires in the dark night, flying towards the Great Wall.

"Boom!"

A huge thunderclap sounded over the Great Wall. The guards of the Great Wall raised their heads and looked over the Black Castle. There was also a black cloud with lightning and thunder. A huge three-headed dragon was flying through the lightning.

"Crack!"

A huge thunderstorm sounded. The ice dragon in the direction of the Black Castle was instantly struck by a golden lightning from an infinite height, like a punishment from heaven. It was instantly turned into ice-blue powder floating all over the sky. People had no time to cheer. In just a moment, the ice-blue powder turned into a huge ice mist in the air. The ice mist spread very quickly. In just a moment, it had covered a large area.

And then, the light beam just disappeared from the ground three miles away from the Black Castle. A blue light beam rose again. As the black clouds surged, another frost dragon was condensing.

The march of the frost dragon, the White Walkers and the army of wights brought a blizzard all over the sky. Soon, the view above the Great Wall became unclear. The entire northern part of the Great Wall was shrouded in a blizzard in just a few dozen breaths, and the strange ice fog opposite the Black Castle also blocked the view on the ground.

Boom, crack!

Two more huge golden lightnings fell from the sky, the lightning pierced the ice fog, penetrated the blizzard, and brought up snowflakes and fog all over the sky. It was seen that two more ice dragons near the Black Castle were shattered by the power of the king's three-headed dragon.

But under the saturation attack of the White Walkers, under the first attack with the power of the Cold God and accumulated for thousands of years, even Viserys was unable to do it.

In a farther direction, in Eastwatch, at the Shadow Tower, the magic ice dragon of the Cold God had arrived at the Great Wall, and sent out a terrible frost breath towards the point where they were desperate to attack.

A guard on the Great Wall saw this scene and suddenly had a strange idea: How can the Great Wall be destroyed by spitting frost at it? Is the ice dragon reinforcing the Great Wall?

Soon, Viserys, who was aware of magic, figured out that the breath of the ice dragon was not to destroy the Great Wall, but to interfere with the magic barrier of the Great Wall.

As he thought, the ice dragons approaching the Great Wall did not spare the energy to attack the defenders on the Great Wall or destroy their slingshots or night fires. They only spit frost breath with the power of the God of Cold at the ice wall of the Great Wall.

At a certain moment, a layer of strange blue light condensed on the Great Wall under the breath of the ice dragon.

The attacking ice dragon stopped breathing, and then used its huge body to directly hit the wall of the Great Wall with a flap of wings.

Under the impact of the huge body of the ice dragon made of black ice magic, the Great Wall wall that was hit had a terrifying crack, and then another breath was sprayed towards the crack.

Even if it was Viserys, when seven ice dragons attacked at the same time, he could only choose one side to rescue.

After all, he chose to believe that there were the Red God's chosen ones, Stannis and Melisandre, in the Eastern Nightfort, so Viserys chose to go west and destroy the other two frost dragons in the direction of the Shadow Tower first.

There are urgency, Viserys must destroy the ice dragon first, and then find the location of the beam, locate the caster and behead him.

It should be said that Melisandre did not disappoint Viserys's expectations. This priest with the shadow magic of the Red God R'hllor was blessed with the power of the shadow thread that the Red God participated in building the Great Wall at the Great Wall. She immediately nodded to Stannis, and then hid in a spellcasting area prepared by Stannis for her on the wall.

Melisandre's eyes burned like coals, and the beads of sweat on her skin seemed to glow by themselves.

Yes, Melisandre glowed.

She entered the dark casting area. No one knew what she did inside. They could only hear her chilling scream. Then, a dark shadow emerged from the casting area like ink. The shadow spread on the Great Wall, stretched, and climbed towards the northern wall.

When the shadow was completely formed and broke away from the wall, he stood on the ground, standing tall like a hundred-foot giant.

Then.

The shadow's palm was placed on the wall, as if it had merged into it, and instantly went towards a frost dragon that was attacking the castle near the wall of the Nightfort.

But Viserys still overestimated Melisandre.

Her shadow swung the sharp blade in his hand like a giant, slashing at the head of the frost dragon, but failed to completely cut off the head.

Instead, the ice dragon ignored her attack and continued to attack the Great Wall.

The shadow giant continued to slash the second knife, but it was not until the third knife that the shadow giant chopped off the head of the frost dragon.

Further east of the Nightfort, another ice dragon near Eastwatch had already torn a huge hole in the Great Wall.

As the hole was torn open, the cold wind blowing from the north of the Great Wall instantly rushed into the southern foot of the Great Wall.

The whistling sound of the cold wind was so harsh that it seemed to pierce people's eardrums, causing the guards on the nearby walls to cover their ears. The sound was shrill, as if the evil spirits of hell who had been imprisoned for thousands of years finally escaped.

As Melisandre's shadow continued to attack the frost dragon at a terrifying speed along the wall.

The dragon exploded directly in a situation that no one expected.

The ice dragon exploded and disintegrated, and the cold air burst out. Many guards on the wall were frozen into ice cubes by the sudden icy breath, and the body of the ice dragon turned into countless ice-blue light and ice particles, which drilled into the torn crack of the Great Wall with the whistling cold wind and spread to the sky south of the Great Wall.

For a moment, countless ice particles emitting strange blue light were floating and dancing in the air at the southern foot of the eastern part of the Great Wall, with stars dotted in the sky, like the starry sky on a summer night, and the Milky Way was shining.

The night was long, and the cold air from the north of the Great Wall finally blew in the sky of the northern border of Westeros at this moment.
