Chapter 298 Attack and Defense of the Great Wall

"As a human king, he dares to speak disrespectfully to the great Ain El. I am really tired of living!"

Looking at the human king whose chest was pierced by an ice spear, Caranthil slowly retracted the frost staff that emitted bursts of biting white smoke, and then prepared to leave this place.

After all, based on past experience, human kings usually carry a large number of escort troops with them. Although their strength may not be outstanding, it is enough to give him a headache.

Because of this, he only used an ice spear to pierce the king's body and did not directly take away the other person's life.

Their first target is the ancient blood, there is no need to have a big conflict with the local indigenous people!

Carrara——

As the blood power in his body began to surge, a snow-white portal suddenly appeared in front of Caranthil, revealing the strange world opposite with gorgeous decorations.

That is the hometown of the elves of Ain El—Tornaria!

The strange movements of the Wild Hunt elves immediately attracted the attention of the remaining knights. Several Baratheon soldiers immediately raised their longbows and shields and shouted:

"We cannot let them leave so easily to avenge His Majesty the King!"

"Yes, kill them!"

"A prairie fire of rage!"

The Baratheon knights raised their weapons frantically and prepared to attack. Those damn pointed ears severely injured King Robert with magic in front of them, which was simply an insult to Baratheon.

However, just as everyone was preparing to die together with the Wild Hunting Elves, an old and tired voice reached everyone's ears:

"Let them go!"

"Ser Barristan?!"

Upon hearing Barristan's order, everyone turned their heads in shock and anger, and then noticed that the other party was forcefully cutting off the ice spear that had penetrated Robert's body.

Seeing this situation, the surrounding Kingsguards also hurriedly stepped forward to assist Barristan, and it didn't take long before Robert was successfully rescued.

"Fortunately, the injury is not fatal. As long as the bachelor can be found for treatment as soon as possible, His Majesty the King will be saved!"

As an experienced veteran warrior, Barristan could tell at a glance that the ice spear did not hit Robert's vital point, and he couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face.

However, I don't know if it was because the temperature of this ice spear was too low. All the blood near Robert's wound was frozen by this ice spear, forming a pale skin like a white ghost.

Feeling Robert's slowly lowering body temperature, Barristan ignored the Wild Hunt elves leaving through the portal and hurriedly shouted to the few remaining knights around him:

"Hurry up and find some clothes, and then go notify those damn golden robes. Why haven't they come yet?"

Robert's situation is very bad now. Fortunately, it's not far from Winterfell. As long as we can seize the time, there is still hope!

————The Great Wall of Despair, Black Castle

If Robert's attack by the Wild Hunt near Severn City only exacerbated the unrest in Westeros, then the threat outside the Great Wall was enough to destroy Westeros:

"Attack the Great Wall!"

Under the orders of Mance Rayder, tens of thousands of wildlings began to attack the Great Wall without fear of casualties. Even Duke Eddard was shocked by the brutal battle.

These savages obviously lacked the most basic weapons and shields, but they still fought with the stone axes and wooden clubs in their hands against the northern soldiers without fear of death.

Ed even saw with his own eyes that a wild man with his arms cut off actually tried to attack the Night Watch with his teeth and head. The madness was enough to make anyone's hair stand on end!

Almost every day, savages would leave thousands of corpses behind as they tried to climb over the Great Wall, so much so that the entire bottom of the Great Wall was dyed a weird red with blood.

"This is already the third week. During this period, we have probably killed tens of thousands of savages, right?"

In the battlements at the top of the Great Wall, Duke Eddard was chatting and warming up with the surrounding Night's Watch rangers, and at the same time, he was also wary of the next round of savage attacks.

Ben Yang, who was sitting next to Ed, heard the emotion of the ranger next to him, so he picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire and said with a bitter smile:

"Yes, I have never seen the savages want to climb over the Great Wall so crazily. Has this cold winter threatened the survival of the savages?"

Since the entire Great Wall was under siege by wildlings, the rangers had not been to the land beyond the Great Wall for a long time, let alone exploring the reasons why the wildlings were moving south.

The only thing people knew was that these savages seemed to be under some kind of threat, and the number of attacks they launched became more and more frequent.

Recalling the fierce battle that happened not long ago, everyone fell into silence, and the only sound in the room was the crackling of the fire.

After all, they were not dead ghosts. Dozens of consecutive days of fierce fighting had already made them exhausted. Now they just wanted to find a soft big bed and have a good sleep.

However, God does not follow people's wishes. Compared with the Night's Watch and the Northerners who have no sense of crisis, the savages are already on the verge of burning their butts:

Woo——woo——

Two deep horn sounds came from the arrow tower above. The expressions of everyone who had been slumped on the ground to rest immediately changed, and then they hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed outside.

A Night Watch archer was looking at the dark army of savages below in horror, and couldn't help but murmured:

"One horn means one of our own, two horns means there are enemies... the savages are coming!"

"Don't panic, everyone. Everyone should return to their respective posts. As long as we unite as one, we will be able to repel the savages!"

Ed stood on the city wall holding a longbow in his hand, looking at the nervous warriors around him, and encouraged him loudly:

"We have repelled their attacks dozens of times in the past few days. I believe those savages are as exhausted as we are. As long as we hold on, victory will be ours!"

It's a pity that the passionate speech obviously cannot be eaten. Before Ed's speech ended, questioning voices came from the crowd:

"Lord Ed, we are almost out of arrows and rolling stones, and we are running out of bandages and medicines. When will reinforcements from the kingdom come?"

Everyone turned around and discovered that the person who initiated the inquiry was a young soldier whose face was covered with bandages. From the blood-stained bandages, it was easy to see that he was injured in a battle with the savages.

Seeing that everyone was focusing on him, the young warrior couldn't help but lowered his head in shame, but then he still asked stubbornly:

"It's obviously us Night Watchmen and Northerners who are bleeding. Why don't those Southern nobles not only send troops to increase our numbers, but they don't even send us supplies?"

If they cannot get support from the southerners for their hard work, and even the most basic supplies are not willing to be given to them, then what is the point of their fighting?

We might as well let these savages go south!

Hearing this, the surrounding northern warriors also showed a hint of approval on their faces, obviously very dissatisfied with the southern nobles.

Looking at the indignant night watchmen around him, Bunyan showed a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and then said angrily:

"Stop talking, our responsibility now is to resist those damn savages, not to find your grievances here!"

Although Bunyan was also dissatisfied with those stingy southern nobles, at least now that the wildlings were approaching the city, as the chief ranger, he could not vent his anger wantonly.

In fact, everyone present did not know that they had mistakenly blamed the southern nobles. Dozens of caravans filled with supplies and weapons had actually been sent to the Great Wall from all over the south.

After all, the news of the savage invasion had spread to the entire continent through the school city, and even the farmers had already learned of this horrific news.

Although the southern nobles who are not directly threatened will still have reservations, they can still ensure the basic supplies.

However, due to the slaughter of the Wild Hunt and the plundering of the northern mountain clans, most of the caravans failed to reach the Great Wall safely, which gave them this illusion.

Seeing that there was still some dissatisfaction in the eyes of the surrounding soldiers, Ed, who had already received the raven from King's Landing, could only choose to tell everyone the news, hoping to boost morale:

"Don't worry, everyone. King Robert has decided to come to the Great Wall in person to support us in our fight against the wildlings. At the same time, reinforcements from various dukes have come from the sea to support us. The kingdom has not given up on me!"

"Is it true that His Majesty the King will come to the Great Wall in person?"

"Great, as long as His Majesty the King can fight side by side with us, then these savages will be nothing more than moths flying into the flame!"

Sure enough, after learning that the king would personally visit the front line, confident smiles immediately appeared on everyone's faces.

After all, the night watchman is now considered an honorable profession. Countless prisoners and illegitimate children form part of the team, and they are almost unpopular with any nobles or common people.

Not only can he have limited contact with his relatives and friends, but he has to wear black clothes and stay in this extremely cold place for the rest of his life. Even his death will not be forgotten.

The only thing they fear is that while they are sacrificing their lives for this country, they will have to endure the discrimination from the southern nobles behind their backs!

Looking at the people who had cheered up again, Ed immediately turned his attention to the savage army below that had begun to climb the Great Wall, and shouted in an excited voice:

"Archers shoot freely, and then lower the anchor when the range is sufficient!"

"As you command!"

After Ed's encouragement just now, every soldier was full of energy, ready to attack the savages below at any time.

Brush brush brush——

Countless arrows fell from the sky, and thunderstones and logs as big as millstones also began to hit the savages along the slope of the city wall, causing dozens of savages to fall down the city wall in mourning.

After all, the Great Wall is a giant wall hundreds of meters high. Normally, only those savages with excellent physical strength and skills can climb the Great Wall.

The night watchman at the top only needs to harass them a little while climbing, which is enough to make it difficult for most savages to climb this towering city wall!

However, even so, the already red-eyed savages still did not choose to give up. Instead, they covered the entire city wall like ants.

Looking at the steady stream of wildlings falling from the city wall, Mance Rayder's eyes gradually turned red, and then he roared angrily:

"Charge to the Great Wall and kill all these crows and that Stark who want to kill us!"

By observing the temperament on the city wall, Mance had already known that the more than 20,000 strange troops who suddenly appeared on the city wall recently were vassals of the Stark family.

Are those cruel guys unwilling to give up any way of life to them?

Seeing countless free people climbing towards the top of the Great Wall like humble ants, only to be driven off the wall mercilessly, Mance felt his heart bleed.

Just three weeks ago, the wildling camp that was gathering at the Fist of the First Men suffered unprecedented losses from the White Walkers:

Nearly half of the wildlings were killed by the White Walkers in that catastrophe, and were later transformed into one of those monsters!

Mance witnessed with his own eyes the innocent people who died tragically when the White Walkers fell. Most of them had their bellies and limbs brutally torn open, and there was no possibility of them surviving.

But that monster...that monster covered in blue...

It descended in front of him like a demon from hell, and just raised its hands to resurrect the dead and became its walking corpse!

Every time he recalled that scene, Mance could feel his body shaking uncontrollably.

That is fear from the soul!

Seeing those free people who fell off the Great Wall one after another and finally became bloody flesh, Mance couldn't help but focus on the giants behind him who had not yet taken action.

Due to the previous attack by the White Walkers, dozens of giants chose to sacrifice themselves to cover their retreat, so now there are less than fifty giants following Mance!

The giant sitting on the mammoth seemed to have noticed Mance Rayder's gaze, and a simple and honest smile appeared on his rough face.

As a giant king who is not good at thinking, he knows almost nothing about Mance's grand plans. He only knows that the other party sincerely wants to lead them to a good life.

And this simple kindness is worth protecting with their lives!

However, precisely because of this honesty, Mance's mind was filled with the painful screams of the giants when they were eaten by the corpses, which made him feel that he had no face to face the giant king.

He clearly promised to take them to the south to live a comfortable life, but the other party lost nearly half of their tribe before they could even cross the city wall...

Thinking of this, Mance Rayder's eyes revealed a touch of determination, and then he set his sights on a strange horn placed on the table behind him:

"Don't force me, Southerner, it will not be good for everyone if the fish is dead and the net is broken!"

Although he didn't know why the White Walkers didn't choose to pursue him, Mance was still determined to have a good talk with Stark on the city wall.

It would be best if the other party could allow free people to enter the Great Wall, but if they refuse...

When the White Walkers come, no one can survive!
