The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming - Chapter 1024
The three-eyed crow saw a pentagram on the top of the cave, and each pentagram contained a frost giant. The giant is riding an ice beast, holding a translucent ice cone in his hand, with a one eye in his forehead.
This is a magic circle.
A howling sound came from the top of the mountain, a very vague voice, faintly. But the children of the forest heard it, and forcefully pierced the dagger into their heart. At the same time we sang strange syllables together.
Blood sacrifice!
Is this awakening the frost giant? Or is it corroding the magic circle at the top of the cave?
The three-eyed crow fell on the cave wall, watching all this.
The magic circle on the top of the cave began to peel and corrode, as if a painting was slowly wetted by water.
The strange ghost on the high platform in the cave looked at the three-eyed crow and drew the long sword from his waist.
call out!
The three-eyed crow flew up and circled the hole.
The strange ghost held a long sword and stared at the three-eyed crow.
Click!
The roof of the cave began to crack.
The crack started in the middle and extended to both sides… tore through the magical pattern at the top of the cave.
Click!
The cave wall is also cracked!
The hole is about to collapse.
The three-eyed crow flew out of the hole.
The rock walls on both sides of the valley are trembling, cracking, screaming…
The whole mountain was shaking, and the snow fell down the bottom of the valley, arousing high snow foam.
The rumbling sound suddenly became louder.
The rock walls on both sides collapsed suddenly.
The three-eyed crow tried desperately to climb high, behind him, the rock wall and ice and snow were chasing him.
The top of the mountain also began to fall, and the snow fell like the sky.
The three-eyed crow was instantly submerged.
In front of the brazier of the black castle, suddenly, Jiu Jian woke up, opened his eyes, and gasped for breath.
Everyone quickly supported him, Jiujian was very cold, his lips were blue, his face was pale, and he was shaking with the cold.
Melisandre reached out and held Jiu Jian’s hand, the ruby on her neck glowed brightly, and the warmth of flame spread from Melisandre’s palm to Jiu Jian’s healthy body. After a while, Jiu Jian’s face gradually recovered. It’s bloody.
“The Night King is destroying the magic circle of the Frost Giant. He sacrificed all the children of the forest. I think even if the Great Wall falls, the Frost Giant will not wake up to fight for us again.”
Everyone was stunned.
“Facing the Night King, we have no chance of winning. He now has a griffon and can cross the Great Wall from the sky. He went to destroy the magical array of the frost giant in the Seren Mountains. Let us not even think about it at the last moment. The Frost Giant is an ally. The Night King is thoughtful, and I feel that he is ahead of us every step of the way.”
Everyone looked at each other.
“When the Night King was the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall Night Watch, he was a very strategic man.” Jiujian sighed, ‘We must defeat the Night King. The only way is to go to the Land of Eternal Winter and destroy the altar as soon as possible before we can fight. Kill the Night King. “
“If we don’t destroy the altar, we can’t kill him in battle?” Arya was surprised.
“Yes, we cannot kill the ghoul unless we kill the ghost; we cannot kill all the ghost unless we kill the night king; we cannot kill the night king without destroying the altar. We kill the night king if With the altar still there, the Night King will be resurrected in a secret way again.”
“But we have lost all the unicorns now.” Jon said.
“We need to wait for Daenerys to arrive, she will bring her dragon.” Jiu Jian said.
“I left Little Golden Dragon in Winterfell.” Will said, “If necessary, Little Golden Dragon has to let it go to the battlefield first.”
“Little Golden Dragon can’t take people to the Land of Eternal Winter now, it’s better to let it stay in Winter City.” Jiu Jian said.
“Then we have to be prepared for the battle.” Mans Reid said, “I suggest destroying the Horn of Winter first, so that the Night King can never find it, and let him advance and retreat. There will always be a Great Wall lying here. He freely enters and exits the northern border.”
“He has a griffin.” Robb reminded Mans Reid.
“When the mother of dragons comes, we have dragons.” Mans replied.
“I have a new plan.” Will said, “I want to return to Winterfell and let the little golden dragon find Daenerys, and then ride Daenerys’s three-headed dragon. We don’t need to enter In the north, enter the land of Eternal Winter from the sea. The Night King and his wife cannot detect it.
“Good idea!” Melisandre said, “If that’s the case, our number of people going north will change. The three-headed dragon can only take three people.”
“I, Will Jr, Daenerys.” Jiujian said, “The three of us went from the sea to the Land of Eternal Winter and destroyed the altar. You fought the Night King in the north to attract all his attention.”
For a while, everyone was silent.
Little Will, Jiu Jian, and Daenerys went to the Land of Everwinter, without support, without the undead knight Bunyan Stark, any previous tactics would be useless.
“Let’s do it then.” Will said, looking at Dah Jie.
Da Jili wanted to go north to follow Will, now there is no need to fight, only three dragons can use it.
Da Jie reached out and held Will’s hand: “Let’s go, let’s have a barbecue.” She knew that she must be separated from Will. This separation may be a farewell.
Carter Parker immediately followed: “Mother, I will go too.”
“And me.” Mans Reid said, “I want you to taste our wheat wine.”
“I want to have a drink too.” Samwell said.
“My skill in grilling rabbit meat is very good!” Arya said.
“Then go together!” Jiu Jian said.
Everyone agreed, so everyone went together, joking with each other, and the previous dullness and depression were wiped out.
Will stayed with Jon and Robb.
“We can’t let the Night King know our plan. We must fight another fierce battle with him in the Black Castle. Then we retreat to Hearth City, fight a battle in Hearth City, then retreat to Winterfell City, fight in Winterfell City One battle, and then retreated to Kalim Bay.”
“Fleeing?” Robb said suspiciously.
“Of course not, it’s retreating steadily and retreating in an orderly way.” Will said, “The Night King and the Frost Lady will catch up step by step. We don’t have to worry about being noticed by the Night King when we destroy the altar of Eternal Winter. Once there is a change, it will be too late for the Night King to ride a griffon to rescue him.”
Jon looked at Robb, and the two brothers understood.
“Agree!” Jon said.
“Agree!” Robb said.
“This plan, only the three of us know.” Will said in a low voice.
“Why?” Jon and Robb asked at the same time.
“Every time in a battle, if the Night King cannot see the flaws, it will have to fight desperately. I told Mans Reid, Melisandre, Zogo and others, they thought this was a retreat battle, and it might be It affects the morale of the battle. If the soldiers know our tactics, they will not do their best in the war. All they think of is retreat. This will arouse the alertness of the Night King. This tactic, the three of us know, must not be spread. “
Jon and Robb nodded.
“I want to leave tonight, go to Winterfell, let the little golden dragon fly to find Daenerys.” Will said.
“Since it is a retreat, I think your lord needs to take away all your guards. Robb and I are here. We will retreat to Hearth City quickly after the battle of the Black Castle.”
“Okay, be careful not to kill the horses, and the ox cart, obsidian arrows, and knives and guns are all loaded into the cart first. I’ll start tonight and retreat all the supplies to the Mole Village. Bachelor, clerk, have to let them Retreat to Hearth City before the battle. Leave this to Samwell Tully. He is a credible person.”
“Good!” Jon nodded.
“Robo is in charge of the tactical arrangement of military command and combat. Government management, personnel conflicts, Jon is in charge, do you have any comments?”
“No!” Robb looked at Jon.
“Agree!” Jon said, “I’m just worried about your injury.”
“Don’t worry, I want Melisandre to go with me this time. Her flame magic can alleviate the pain of cold poison in my body, and it is also the best treatment method. I think when we return to Winterfell, my injury It will be completely better. Along the way, Melisandre has enough time to get rid of cold toxins for me and James.”

In the hot restaurant, there are many kinds of grilled meat.
But, it’s time to end.
Will, Jon, and Robb walked into the restaurant. It was warm and crowded. Everyone was talking loudly. Some people’s faces were already reddened by the wine.
Will walked over to Gilly’s table: “Jilly Stark, I’m going to take Will Jr. away.”
This is the first time Will officially refers to Darjeelly as Gilly Stark. Because, this time, maybe the two will never see him again.
Da Jie will stay to fight, life or death, unpredictable.
“So fast, how about your injury?” Melisandre looked at Will with beautiful eyes.
“My injury is the cold poison left by the ice gun penetrating the body, I am afraid it will not support Winterfell.” Will joked, “But our horse is fast.”
“Mrs. Melisandre will go with you.” Darjeel said immediately.
This is what Will needs to say. He needs to retreat a group of people and leave without showing a trace. The real battle is still to come.
Arya also said: “Will, let Mrs. Melisandre be with you. Her flame is the natural enemy of cold poison and the most effective treatment.”
“What about James, then I have to take James away, too.” Will said with a groan. James was more severely injured than his. Cold poison broke out on him several times a day, and every time he was covered with hoarfrost, he must have flames to fight against.
“Take James away, his chills will not be expelled, and he will not be able to participate in the battle if he stays here.” Mans Reid came over and said.
“Okay!” Will decided, “Jiujian, you have to go with me. When my little golden dragon finds Daenerys, I need you and Will to set off immediately to meet Daenerys. “
“Yes, your Prime Minister.” Jiu Jian smiled with a drink. His face was red and he seemed to be drinking too much.
Will stood up and looked around at the generals: “Dear brothers, the war has changed, and I need to go to Winterfell to deal with more important things. I, Jiu Jian, Melisandre, Will, Jr., Rosso and my The guards will set off immediately and leave overnight.”
“We are running out of time. Command, military and tactical arrangements, everything depends on Lord Robb Stark; government affairs, logistics and personnel, everything depends on Jon Targaryen. Mans Reid, Severe Palm Colin, assisting Robb and Jon, do you have any questions?”
The people raised their glasses and agreed in unison: “Yes, your Prime Minister!”
Will’s prestige in the Great Wall Legion is so high that there is no need to describe it in words. In the battle with the alien ghosts, the two victories were because he killed two alien generals. It was also him who rode a griffon to ignite the wildfire ditch and blocked the alien ghost and the night king in the ghost forest. It was also him who was shot by the night king’s wife with a spear and shot the griffon, fell from the Great Wall and almost died.
The Great Wall War, without Will, the Great Wall has been lost, and the soldiers have been slaughtered.
Will’s words are orders. He is not only the highest officer of the Great Wall Corps, he is also the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms.

At noon the next day, Will and his party came to the Holy Trinity Church. They had a short rest in the Trinity Tribunal. After eating, they went to the Pyromancer Guild. Will had a private conversation with the Great Wise Adonis and asked them to After the Great Wall fell, he immediately retreated and retreated to Hearth City of the Amber family. In addition, Will asked Adonis to prepare for the retreat now. All the wildfire materials should be packed first and ready to retreat.
“Where are our so many castles and houses?” Adonis was very reluctant.
“It will not be destroyed. Ghosts and ghouls will not set fire to our houses. When we win, we will come back. These castles are still there, and nothing will be missing.”
“Alien ghosts are afraid of fire!” Adonis suddenly.
“Ghouls are also afraid of fire!” Will smiled, “Why do I vigorously build houses and small towns? I know that even if the Great Wall is lost, these houses will still be there, unless we set them on fire ourselves. The Night King wants to rule. The undead, it is the human life, not the house, to be destroyed.”
After the Pyromancer Guild explained everything, the team continued to march. Along the way, non-stop. After another three days, the team walked out of the land granted by the night watchman and entered the territory of the Amber family: the territory of the only large noble family in the northernmost part of the North, the Amber family with the giant broken chain as its family crest.
The Amber family is also ready for all battles. All the residents in the territory have entered Hearth City. There is no family in the wild. Every village is empty, and all the living supplies that can be removed are all. Evacuate.
When Will arrived in Hearth City, he inspected the defense of the Amber family, checked the troops, and looked at the material reserves. When he asked the Amber family to retreat to Hearth City from the Great Wall defenders, he immediately sent all the craftsmen and officials We all retreated to Winterfell City, and asked Umber to order that the people of Hearth City, now all followed Will and his party, retreated to Winterfell City’s Winterfell town.
When two days later, Will and his party left Hearth City, followed by a long line of people, helping the old and young, and heading south. Fortunately, the road is already easy to walk, it is the spacious King’s Road and the flat permafrost plain.
A group of people walked on King’s Road, and those who were familiar with the road and direction walked on the frozen plains and went straight south.
Seven days later, Will and his party came to the winter town outside of Winterfell. The people following him were already several times as many as they had when they started from Hearth City.
The people in the entire northern territory, who refused to go south to flee, all went south with Lord Will and came to the winter town outside Winterfell.
Will and his party entered Winterfell. Before arriving at the main fort, Bachelor Luwin brought news of the Great Wall’s fall. After about 5,000 casualties, the Great Wall Legion retreated to Hearth City overnight.
Will’s retreat plan was officially launched.
