The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

The Shield Hall meeting did not end until the evening, and Green became the temporary chief secretary, Samwell Tully was his assistant, and the two of them coordinated the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the nearly fifty thousand regiments of the Great Wall, weapons and armor, and horse fodder; five Civilian urban construction, transportation, town management, forest hunting, lake fishing, livestock breeding,...and...foreign trade and taxation...

Waer and Dana have also joined the management team of the chief secretary.

Things suddenly increased.

The old rangers and secretary of the Great Wall of Despair used to have less than 2,000 people. Will received the Wooden Shield Tribe and the Wolf Forest Tribe, the team increased to 6,000, and the civilians under his jurisdiction increased by 15,000.

Donghaiwang established a naval fleet. The fishermen and naval forces inside and outside the Great Wall increased by a thousand. The addition of hundreds of naval forces and sailors from the Warhammer of the Wang's fleet further strengthened Donghaiwang's naval force.

Fighting the Iron Islands, East China Sea Wang Carter Pike waited in the sea during the Battle of Deep Limburg and captured more than 300 iron soldiers who were defeated and escaped, including Asha Greyjoy. Carter Pike did not notify him. In the case of Will and Robb, the captives of Asha and Tiemin were escorted to Donghaiwang to increase their naval power.

In the joint operations of the valley, the river and the north, the final victory brought the four-nation coalition to the Great Wall: Hejian, the valley, the west and the north have a total of 6,000 troops stationed at the Great Wall. As a result, there were 15,000 soldiers in the Great Wall Legion.

Today, with the addition of more than 30,000 soldiers from the Freedmen, nearly 50,000 soldiers in the Legion.

This is a powerful army, the total number of which exceeds the civilians on the territory. The civilians of dozens of tribes in the Wolfwood Mountains all migrated down the mountain, plus the more than 20,000 civilians of the free people, the number of civilians was about 40,000.

Someone has power!

This gave Will absolute confidence.

He refused to advertise the arrival of strange ghosts to the nobles of various countries. He decided to use facts to speak, and before the autumn passed, everyone in the Seven Kingdoms would know that the strange ghosts were coming. If the nobles blocked To disturb, he bypassed the nobles and directly recruited troops from the civilian population.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, apart from Tyrell in the south, the Great Wall of Despair has a large number of troops.

In the middle of the night, Will came to Long Night Castle quietly.

Long Night Castle, the oldest and largest of the night watchman castles. Inside there is the "Black Gate", a secret passage through the Great Wall. It is sealed by a door made of magical ancient fish beam wood. Only the brothers of the night watch can open it. And the spell that opened was the oath of the night watchman.

The black gate is in a deep well.

There is a passage on the side wall of the deep well, leading directly to the black gate.

Will came to the black door.

He came to meet the undead knights Bunyan Stark and Gal who were going to cross the Great Wall.

The ice walls of the Great Wall are filled with magic circles, preventing the passage of ghosts and ghouls, as well as the passage of undead.

In the distance in front of the black gate, the undead Bunyan Stark and Gal used the power of the night to fight the pressure of the Great Wall magic on the undead.

Will whispered in front of the black gate: "The long night is coming, and I will watch from now on, until I die. I will not marry a wife, will not be a fief, will not have children. I will not wear a crown, and I will not compete for honor. I will do my duty. , Life and death in Sri Lanka. I am the sword in the dark, the guard on the Great Wall, against the cold flames, the rays of dawn, the horn to awaken the sleeper, and the shield to guard the kingdom. I dedicate my life and glory to the night watchman, It’s like this tonight, every night."

The black door slowly emerged in the pitch darkness.

The white marshmallow door appeared in front of Will.

A pair of red eyes slowly appeared on the door, and these eyes were no different from those carved on the fish beam.

A mouth slowly appeared in the middle of the door.

The mouth opened and closed slowly and awkwardly, and Will heard the door speak slowly: "Who are you?"

"I'm Will, the night watchman."

"Brother Night Watch?"

"Yes!"

In front of Will's eyes, the door gradually became a face.

Similar faces are carved on the fish beams of the people in the north.

Red eyes dripping blood, white face of vicissitudes, big dry mouth.

This face Will has seen in the sacred woods of Winterfell, as well as on the twelve fish beams outside the Great Wall.

"Are you going out?"

"I will pick up the two night watchmen brothers through the Great Wall. Ghosts are attacking. The Cold God has assembled an army of millions of ghouls in the Land of Eternal Winter, and all lives will face destruction."

"Doesn't your brother of the night watch know the oath of the night watch?"

"Yes, but they have become undead."

"The undead cannot pass the Great Wall."

"If you can open the gate, they can pass."

"The undead crossed the Great Wall? What do you want to do?"

"Under Winterfell, there is a mausoleum built by Brandon Stark, who built the Great Wall eight thousand years ago, with the sword of light and an army of undead sealed in various beautiful jade."

The red eyes of the door slowly closed, and Will saw that the door was thinking. Do Will's words bring him back to memories from eight thousand years ago?

This door has disappeared, and in front of Will, there is a huge human face. ——Similar human faces carved on fish beams.

"Are you chosen by the gods?"

"I don't know, I only know that I need to do everything I can to concentrate all my strength against the ghosts from the land of Eternal Winter."

"Autumn is short, Will, you have to hurry up. Winter and night will bring the world a ghost that will destroy all lives!"

"Yes!"

Will respectfully.

His face no longer speaks, but his big mouth slowly opened, getting bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a big mouth for people to enter and exit.

Will not dare to neglect, and walked out, the undead Bunyan and Gail quickly rushed over.

They saw a big mouth behind Will.

Will turned and stood in his mouth, shouting: "Quick!"

He stood in the middle of the big mouth, and the mouth could no longer be closed.

Bunyan and Gail chanted the night watchman's oath, and quickly slipped past Will.

Will noticed the painful expression on the fish beam wooden face.

Will hurriedly jumped away, his mouth began to close slowly, and his face gradually returned to normal.

Bunyan and Gail had gone out along the passage in the same wind. As soon as they reached the mouth of the deep well, all the pressure on their bodies disappeared.

They passed the Great Wall.

Bunyan and Gail climbed on the wall of the well, and they waited for Will to come back and go out together.

Will watched the face in front of him return to normal, and the painful expression slowly dissipated.

Will said cautiously: "Thank you!"

He knew that the face on the fish beam was related to the son of the forest. The faces on the fish beams outside the Northern Territory and the Great Wall of Extremis were also carved by the children of the forest.

The magic of the Black Gate is the magic of the children of the forest.

Eight thousand years ago, the children of the forest fought side by side with the human race, and built this black gate together after victory. There are many secrets in the night watchman's oath. It's just a long time ago, the current night watchman has forgotten many secrets in the oath.

"Will, rely on the power of the undead army. Unless the Great Wall collapses, do you foresee the day when the Great Wall collapses?" The normal face said slowly, and the dry mouth opened and closed.

Ps: There is a stalk of Heimen in the original. It was Samwell who passed the Black Gate.
