The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming - Chapter 1020
The battlefield was cleaned for a whole day.
The obsidian arrows were collected and piled up in bundles like mountains.
Most arrows can still be used.
The Valyrian steel swords were also found one by one, and every sword was not damaged.
The coldness and sharpness remain the same.
Hundreds of Valyrian steel swords were put back in the shield hall of the black castle, waiting for their new owners.
Hundreds of seven-story corpse platforms were built in one day, and on each floor, the corpses of their comrades piled up.
The corpses of Asha Greyjoy, Daisy Mormont, Robert Royce, Donald, Gendley, Freedmen’s leader Garner, thousands of knights, hundreds of generals, and tens of thousands of warriors piled up like a battlement Long dragon.
Nearly 20,000 soldiers stood in front of these fellow robes, and each corpse platform had three torches.
The forest from the Black Castle to the Mole Village was cut into a road, and the woods near the Great Wall were almost cut down.
With nearly 20,000 knives cut down, no forest can withstand such a felling.
Will and James were seriously injured. James was able to stand with people’s support. Will was able to stand in front of him, his face was pale, and his lips seemed to be frosted.
The hazard of being chopped by the ice sword was revealed, and the frostbite damaged the muscles, freezing all the muscles in that wound to death.
The bachelors are still trying their best to treat them. At present, it takes a long time to recover.
Among the three, Arya suffered the least injury. The Ice Sword only scratched the skin of her left arm, but still made her left arm unable to recover as if it had been cut off.
Cold, extreme cold, is another kind of sharp edge.
As the sun sets, Will, James, Arya, Jon, Robb, and Mans stand on a high platform in front of the army.
Will said: “No one wants to watch our brother leave. Many of them are not the night watchman of the Great Wall. They have not sworn the oath of the night watchman, but today, I will take the oath of the night watchman. Recite it to them, they are worthy of this oath, and worthy of this supreme glory.”
“All the brothers, humans and human life here should remember their names. We will keep them in our hearts forever. Our bachelor will engrave them in the historical annals of the mainland. No matter how many years have passed, they are today. All of them will be remembered forever by mankind. They are well-deserved heroes. We are all honored to fight alongside them. They, whether we know them or not, are already our brothers, friends and comrades in arms, each of them People are already-immortal!”
The torch in Will’s hand was lit, and the torch in James’s hand was also lit, and then Arya, Jon, Robb, and Mans, they walked down the high platform, the cold wind roared, the snow was blowing, and the black army was crushed. In front, there is a black corpse platform…
Will came to the first corpse stage, his eyes fell on the faces of generals such as Asha, Daisy, Gendley, Robert, Genna, his throat choked, and he whispered: The long night is coming , I will watch from now on…
James next to him also read: Until he died…
The night watchman behind me chanted together, with a black cloak and a stern face: I will not marry a wife, a land, or a child.
Mans Reid’s eyes were red. He once chanted this oath repeatedly. He was a freedman child raised by the Great Wall night watchman, and he became the best ranger on the Great Wall with Kolin, the shadow tower. Now , The corpses of the brothers of the Shadow Tower Night Watch were all lying on the wood, two of them were his former comrades-I will not wear a crown, and I will not compete for honor. I will do my duty faithfully and live and die.
Broken Palm Colin stood beside Manden Reid. He was one of the night watchmen who came back from Hooguan Town after the war. He was responsible for handling a fight between freedmen and residents of the Wolfwood tribe: I am in the dark. The sword, the guard on the Great Wall. I am the flame against the cold, the light at dawn…
In the end, countless voices vowed together, and the voices gathered into a torrent, crossed the Great Wall, and spread to the ghost forest: the horn to wake up the sleeper, and the strong shield to guard the kingdom. I dedicate my life and glory to the night watchman, tonight, every night.
Will looked around at the brothers beside him. Many people’s eyes were red, some tears were dripping, maybe he was looking at his family lying on the timber.
Will put the torch into the kerosene under the wood, and the kerosene burst into flames, and quickly crackled into a fire.
The second, third, fourth, fifth…Hundreds of corpse stands burned into flames, and black smoke rose into the sky, covering the deep clouds of the Great Wall, as if night had fallen ahead of schedule.
The sky is thick black smoke, and the underground is a burning fire. The flames reflect the faces of nearly 20,000 soldiers, as cold as steel!
*
Outside the ghost forest, the night king and his wife like ice crystals looked up at the black smoke.
“Will is very smart. He burned all the corpses before dark.” The beautiful and immaculate ice crystal woman said softly.
“Will is also a half-green prophet, I underestimated him.” The night king’s face was like translucent frost, and his icy blue eyes reflected his wife’s peerless face.
“He found us?”
“Yes.”
“We shouldn’t sacrifice outside the tunnel gate of the Black Castle? Didn’t this tell him that we are here? Although our sacrifice received a response from the Cold God, it also reminded Will that he burned all our soldiers. .”
“I only noticed Jiu Jian, and now I notice him.”
“Those stupid children of the forest, will you succeed tonight?”
“I don’t see other interfering forces.”
“Think about it. The Frost Giant is hard to deal with.”
“Why deal with it? The resurrected Frost Giants need to eat and establish their own Frost Kingdom. They have their own beliefs, and they will conflict with the Human Race. For thousands of years, the Giants and the Children of the Forest have not been able to coexist peacefully with the Human Race. “The night king looked at the thick smoke slowly drifting over his head, “As long as the Great Wall falls, we will be unimpeded. The tombs of the Seven Kingdoms are full of our soldiers, and the tombs of the Frost Giants are also everywhere.”
“I can’t wait to see the spectacular fall of the Great Wall.” The ice crystal woman said lightly. The sleeves of her white robe dragged on the ground, it was a cloak made of snowflakes. With a light wave of her hand, her robe sleeves fluttered, snow flakes, and the figure of her and the Night King was hidden in the snow and disappeared.
A faint figure appeared in the forest, followed by the second one, and gradually the shadows appeared, one was Will’s face, the other was Jiujian’s face, and Jiujian’s figure became a physical person, more than Will’s. Condensed, the two figures looked at each other, and with a bang, Will’s figure drifted away, while Jiujian’s figure shrank, and finally turned into a three-eyed crow, plundering where the Night King and his wife used to stand…

The Great Wall of Despair, four hundred miles away, on the avenue, a rider gallops forward, with a black cloak and a black hood. Behind this horse, dozens of miles away, there are groups of freed people, tribesmen, and locals going south. Residents.
The entire land of the five hundred li night watchmen was empty, with houses, towns, castles, and shops, almost empty.
Last night’s Great Wall battle was deafening, the flames blazed into the sky, and the tragic fighting sounded for dozens of miles. The news came early in the morning. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in battle and thousands of knights died in battle. The Great Wall could no longer be defended. Everyone must evacuate from the jurisdiction of a thousand li and five hundred li wide, and the target is the upper reaches of the river under the Kalin Bay in the south…
Along the way, the deserters continued, the freedmen had knives and guns, and hundreds of people could assemble to protect themselves. Many single soldiers mixed in the ranks of the people were picked out, **** by the people and given to the night watchmen along the road to maintain law and order. And freedmen patrols.
Before the war began, every town had a patrol united by night watchmen and freemen. When the people fled, these patrols acted as escorts and maintained order.
However, quite a few soldiers slipped through the net, and some groups of soldiers drew their swords to kill the patrol team, and fled after winning the horses.
At the edge of the night watchman’s land grant and the Jon Amber family’s territory, before the night came, a horse appeared ahead of all deserters. The horseman had superb riding skills, a long sword on his waist, gloomy eyes and thin lips. The horse ran wildly. The saddle and the number on the horse were the horses of the night watchman patrol.
This person was either the night watchman, or he killed the night watchman and took the horse. His long sword scabbard is inlaid with precious stones, his boots are also mink fur, and his black cloak and gloves are exquisite and high-end fur.
The cavalry hoped to enter the territory of Amber’s house before dark, so that they would be completely safe. In the battle last night, after cutting off the head of the first ghoul, he chose to retreat.
It was definitely not a different kind of creature that humans could fight. The ice blue eyes, rotten hands, and the face with the head missing, all made him fear to regret.
This is definitely not the place to fight for glory. He found himself-too naive!
No normal person would fight with the dead. The nobleman shouted his subordinates to resist, and then pulled back. In the chaos, no one noticed, he rolled into the woods on the side and ran all the way.
He broke into the home of a family of people, killed the man in it, and grabbed a horse to start the way to escape south. At dawn, he had left all the people behind, but it was not easy to avoid the increasingly tightly patrolled night watchmen and freedmen groups, so he chose to ambush and kill a single one. The night watchman, then disguised as the night watchman’s order soldier who went south, finally smashed all the way to the edge of the night watchman’s jurisdiction.
When it was dark, he got his wish and entered the territory of the Amber family. This is a very young young man. He led a thousand family soldiers to join the Northern Army. He has a terrifying family crest: The Skinner. He also has a name that has taken off his **** status: Rams Bolton .
The night was heavy, and the figure of Ramsay Bolton melted into the night. An hour later, his expensive black cloak was gone. He put on a gray and tattered cloak and entered as a free rider. The castle of the Amber family: Hearth City.

In the black castle, the red candles seemed to be dripping with red tears, and the fire was swaying. All the officials of the night watchman at all levels who were scattered on the five hundred li jurisdictions returned to the black castle and stood at the long table.
“The Great Wall of Despair is thousands of miles long and there are nineteen military fortresses. We can’t hold such a long front.” Jon looked at the map and said, “We have to shrink the line of defense.”
“Shrink the line of defense? We will be attacked on three sides.” Robb said, “The alien ghosts will calmly climb from our unguarded East Sea View, West Bridge View and Shadow Tower, easily cross the Great Wall, and then encircle us. “
Robb put the two chess pieces representing the strange ghosts to the left and right, and then placed another chess piece in the center. Except for the south, the night watchman was attacked on three sides.
“We don’t have so many troops.” Mans Reid said, “At present there are tens of thousands of troops in Winterfell, and there are thousands of troops on the ground, but the new southerners are not suitable for fighting in the cold of the north. .”
“Each castle only sends a small number of scouts, and then the griffon sends letters back and forth.” Broken Palm Colin said, “have stationed heavy troops in the three military forts of Black Castle, Ice Crystal Gate, and Frost Snow Mountain. Any ghost can be found in any fort. Divide troops at the fastest speed.”
“Exhausted.” Jon shook his head. “Although I haven’t thought of a better way, this method is obviously undesirable. The ghosts only need to appear in a few places, and our forces will be adjusted.”
“We must concentrate our forces, and let the ghosts also concentrate their forces on one point, not to disperse them, so that we can best defend.” Mans Reid said.
“All the kerosene and wildfire can support up to two wars,” said the secretary Shishe.
Finally, everyone looked at Will who said nothing.
James entered the bachelor’s building and received the bachelor’s treatment for the broken arm, mainly to remove the rotten flesh that had been frozen to death.
Arya’s left arm wound has begun to relieve frostbite.
“We should reopen the tunnel opening of the Black Castle.” Will said.
Everyone is quiet.
“For the remaining 18 places, strange ghosts can only rely on climbing over. We will light wildfires in the 18th place, send a few scouts who are good at riding horses, falsely disguise soldiers, let strange ghosts still be the tactic of guarding the whole city, we Then dig the tunnel gate of the black castle, open it, let them come in through the tunnel of the black castle, concentrate their forces, and fight them in the black castle.”
“Will the ghost be fooled?” Mans Reid doubted.
“Yes, as long as the Night King sees the tunnel gate wide open, he will definitely concentrate his forces to attack the black castle.” Will said.
“What if he didn’t?” Jon said softly.
“Then we will wait to be surrounded by him.” Will said lightly, “The Night King wants to take the entire continent and let all lives surrender. Our door is open, but he dare not attack. This is because he cannot tolerate himself. Yes, because this is a provocation, it is also a contempt, it is a war book.”
“Okay, just do it, open the tunnel door of the black castle, open it, and let him attack.” Mans Reid said, “The freedmen agree to this tactic.”
Colin cut off his palm and looked at Jon, then at the generals crowded with the black castle, and said, “The night watchman agrees.”
“The Northern Legion agrees.” Robb Stark said.
