The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming - Chapter 1026
An ordinary sword with no peculiarities, but holding it in Will’s hand, he felt the blood in his body agitated.
There is no feeling of scorching heat, only a touch of comfort.
The edge of the blade is not shiny, astringent and dark.
Little Will wondered, this is the Lightbringer?
He has a sharp saber and knife around his waist.
He drew out the knife, held it in his left hand, and chopped it down at the Lightbringer in his right hand.
Huh!
With a soft sound, it was as if a sharp knife cut a piece of paper and the knife broke in two.

The people of Winterfell began to go south, Caitlin stood on the top of the building and watched these people slowly leave.
The team ignited a torch and evacuated from the daytime. By night, the team hadn’t all left Winterfell. The people in Bidong town were also evacuated, and the number of people was already hundreds of thousands.
On the frozen plains outside the town of Bidong, the freedmen have not moved yet. They will not start to evacuate until two days.
Caitlin will leave Winterfell after the people have evacuated. In the end, there will be only troops left in Winterfell.
The people of the North, the people of the free people, and the people of the Wolfwood tribe. The previous hostile relationship between the three parties has disappeared. The only advantage of the strange ghost army is to gather the killing human races together, let them abandon the hostility and face the same enemy together. .
Gradually, Caitlin felt the air getting cold.
She looked at the sky and looked around, there was no wind.
A strange and strange cold landed quietly in Winterfell.
Sansa and Jane also felt cold, as if someone was holding a needle in your hands and feet.
This is not felt before.
They all wore thick mink fur, thick scarves, and warm cloaks.
Although Sansa is a native of the North, it is the first time to spend winter.
Not to mention Caitlin and Jane, both of them are from the south, one is from the riverland, a very warm place; the other is from the west, the same warm place.
Caitlin was not used to the cold of Winter. It was the first time for Jane, and she felt more uncomfortable.
“Let’s go down.” Caitlin worried about her two daughters.
“Okay, my mother,” Jane said gently.
“Let’s go, it’s cold.” Sansa watched the last group of people leave Winterfell and onto King’s Avenue.
The night in the north: It is cold, snow is everywhere, as if the sky is falling, and the night king is very bright.
Entering the room, the cold followed like a shadow. The fire in the fireplace was burning vigorously, but the walls were not warm.
Sansa took off her gloves and touched the wall with the hot spring inside. The warmth of the wall was obviously reduced, without the warm feeling of the past.
“The hot spring water is not hot anymore,” Sansa said, feeling very disturbed. Is this an unknown? !
This is the first time she has found that the hot spring water is not hot since she is sensible.
Caitlin added wood to the fire in the fireplace to make the fire more vigorous, and then increased the fire in the brazier. The fire in the brazier is for everyone to sit around and chat for leisure. Like such a cold day, the fire in the brazier does not go out day and night.
“Mother, the hot spring water seems to have become ice.” Sansa shouted.
Caitlin felt the strangeness a long time ago. She walked to the wall and stretched out her hand. The stone wall did not become cold, but it no longer felt the warmth of the past. Only a slight warmth.
“How come the underground hot springs are not hot anymore?” Caitlin has been married to the northern border since she was sixteen. After spending more than 20 years in the northern border, she discovered for the first time that the hot spring water in the wall was not hot anymore. The stone wall has always been hot, and suddenly cooled down, becoming a feeling of only residual temperature.
“Did something happen?” Jane said, “something must have happened.”
“Is the ghost coming?” Sansa was surprised.
“Go ask Will to ask,” Caitlin said, “Peggy Carey.”
The guard at the door pushed in.
“Go and invite Lord Will.”
“Yes, ma’am!”

A group of people marched on the King’s Avenue in the river.
Cavalry in front, cavalry in the back, and courtiers in the middle surrounded by a carriage. In front of and behind the carriage, there are seven white-robed knights, headed by the fearless Barristan Selmi and Brienne of Tarth.
Sitting on the carriage was Shireen Baratheon, King of the Seven Kingdoms.
At the forefront of the team is Bran Stark, commander of the Black Army.
They were ordered by Her Majesty Xilin to rush to Winterfell to attend Will and Arya’s wedding together.
Will and Arya did not hold their wedding publicly. The only witnesses were Mrs. Caitlin, Bachelor Luwin and the Three Heart Tree. But Her Majesty Shireen’s real intention is to marry Bran Stark. She pretended to come to Will’s wedding. In fact, she wanted to have a wedding with Will and Arya, and then gave Bran Stark a surprise. .
Caitlin also wanted to give Shireen a surprise, so she sent a raven to Shireen and invited her to attend Will and Arya’s wedding, but it was actually a wedding for Shireen and Bran. Her Majesty Shireen and Commander Bran returned, and at the same time came to the front line to condolences the soldiers and visit the generals of the Seven Kingdoms.
All the forces of the Seven Kingdoms have successively arrived at Winterfell, and their forces have exceeded one hundred thousand.
The only one who has not come to the north to participate in the garrison is Tyrion Lannister on Dragonstone Island.
Will has abandoned the entire island, Tyrion decided to dig the last batch of obsidian, and then abandon the island. The entire Longshi Island was ruined. The seawater eroded and the foundation was loose. Under the influence of time, it will eventually become a dangerous island, and then slowly sink into the water, without the scale of Longshi Island in the past.
Everything in this world is changing, either fast or slow.
It was not wrong for Caitlin to invite Shireen to come to Winterfell, but suddenly, the Night King launched an attack, disrupting everyone’s life plan and rhythm. Caitlin had to write to Her Majesty Shireen again to explain the situation. Her Majesty Shireen did not change her itinerary, but shelved the marriage and went north to comfort the army.
The little finger of the Minister of Finance is responsible for coordinating the seven countries’ food, weapons, horse materials, tents and other materials, and then continuously transporting them to the north. The goal: Winter City.
All the supplies rely on horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, walking along the King’s Road, the speed is very slow, can not walk much in a day. Under the protection of King’s Landing Black Armored Army, Her Majesty Xilin and his party, all cavalry, walked in front of the army of materials.
The flow of the Green Fork River is very rapid, and there are traces of the battle between the Green Fork River and the Western Army on both sides of the King’s Road. The past green grassland and dense woods are withered, and the eyes are all withered. On the right hand side of the Mingyue Mountain Range, the ridges are covered with thick white snow. In the sky, every day, either the haze or the white snow flutters, the weather is very cold, the day time is getting shorter and shorter, and the night is getting longer and longer.
The team came to the territory of the Frey family. The weather became colder and harsher. After a short time, the cavalry of the Frey family came to greet the king. The Frey family man wearing a khaki cloak, wearing a leather cap with ear protection, rode The pony, all of them look like weasels.
The group continued on under the lead of the Cavalry of the Frey family. Two days later, they came to the upper reaches of the Green Fork River. Far away, they saw the shadow of Twin River City by the river. Her Majesty Shireen, Commander Bran, Captain of the Barristan Iron Guard and others also learned the news of the loss of the Great Wall.
So Her Majesty Xilin gave an order, and everyone speeded up and rushed towards Twin River City.

Winterfell, the main castle.
Caitlin, Jane, and Sansa looked at Will Jr.’s sword without a scabbard: it was dim, and the blade was not sharp.
This is the legendary light messenger?
Caitlin, Sansa and others are not sure, but it is true that the hot springs in Winterfell no longer heat up. The three-eye hot spring in Shenmulin is not bubbling for thousands of years, the heat has disappeared, and the surface of the hot spring has begun to freeze. The glass garden is no longer as warm as spring, ice appears on the ground, hoarfrost condenses on flowers and vegetables, Winter City, because of the trees, flowers and plants benefiting from the hot springs, all face the threat of extreme cold.
In Winterfell, the subjects who have lived for generations are panicking. There are no hot springs in Winterfell, which makes them feel an ominous suggestion. It was a sign that Winterfell would welcome the disaster, but no one dared to speak out about the worries in his heart.
“This is the Lightbringer?” Caitlin’s eyes and tone of voice were suspicious.
“Yes.” Melisandre said, “With it, we will defeat the Night King.”
“Is it sharp?” Sansa said.
The other generals of Winterfell and the allied commanders of the other six nations are not here, and Will has pulled out the Lightbringer, which is a secret. The Night King has also crossed the Great Wall. He has the ability to predict some things, but in Winterfell, his will will encounter obstacles. There are thousands of years of human-like life, the green prophet who has grown up with the heart tree. The Green Prophet can feel the traces of the Night King and counterattack his search, protecting the secrets of Winterfell from being leaked.
The farther the distance, the weaker the Night King’s ability to predict. In Winterfell, the ability of the Prophet of the Heart Tree is the strongest.
“There is no sharper sword than the Lightbringer. The only thing the Night King fears is the Lightbringer.” Melisandre said.
“Try it,” Sansa said.
Bunyan Stark said: “No need to try ordinary swords, Valyrian steel swords can try.”
“Don’t try, it’s not worth damaging a Valyrian sword,” Melisandre said, “Little Will, lend me the sword.”
“Yes, Mama Meili,” said Will Jr.
Caitlin, Sansa, and Jane all looked at Will with strange expressions, and then at the beautiful and charming Melisandre.
Melisandre took the light messenger of Will, erecting the sword, staring at the sword, and when he heard a bang, the sword burned. Melisandre pierced the sword into the wall. The wall was made of huge rock and was extremely hard, but the sword of the Lightbringer pierced into the wall effortlessly.
In just a short while, everyone felt the temperature of the room rise, and the cold walls began to warm up.
Caitlin and others were all surprised.
“Tomorrow, the entire Winterfell City will be warmed up, and the three-eyed hot springs in Shenmulin will regenerate heat. This is the power contained in the Light Messenger.” Meili Shandro said.
Caitlin was silent.
As a great noble, she is not reluctant to accept that the savages’ blood is above the orthodox “Stark blood”.
Why is it that the non-ice person is not Bunyan, Robb, Stark, Riken or any other Stark, but the savage “Stark”.
This was her inner thoughts. She was ashamed of her own thoughts, as if she wanted to be nice to Jon, but in the 16 years since Jon came to this house, she had never done it until Jon went. She couldn’t let go of being the night watchman of the Great Wall of Despair.
Will said: “Mother, Sansa, Jane, the Lightbringer is a secret. We must not tell anyone, nor the servants and guards around us.”
“We remember, Will!” Caitlin said solemnly.
Since the light messenger belongs to fire, why must it be obtained by the non-ice? Instead of Daenerys Targaryen the Unburnt? This is the doubt in Caitlin’s heart, but this doubt is a shadow, and soon flashes through her mind, Caitlin no longer thinks about it.

Two days later, on the tundra outside the town of Bidong, the freedmen were ordered to continue their journey south. Both Winterfell City and Bidong Town will become battlefields of the Great War, and all the people must be evacuated in advance.
The more they go south, the more freed people feel the climate adaptation. For hundreds of years, they have lived in the winter of ice and snow at all times. There is no difference between long summer and short autumn. Every year, It’s winter. Going south, no matter how much snow or wind, the temperature in the south is always warmer than the Seren Mountains.
It took five full days for the free tents in the town of Bidong to be completely removed, and the white snow was full of black mess everywhere.
After all the freedmen left, Caitlin and others went south.
Jaime’s injury was no longer inflicted. Without his left arm, he resumed his right hand swordsmanship training. With the help of Melisandre, Will and Jaime’s cold poison was removed from their bodies.
Hundreds of thousands of troops began to deploy antlers, trebuchets, kerosene ditch, obsidian bows and arrows, and knives and guns outside the winter city and winter city.
After several military meetings, the strategy is divided into: throwing stones and fire-oil bombs as the first wave of attacks; heavy cavalry attacks and light cavalry cover killings as the second wave; bow and arrow indiscriminate coverage shooting as the third wave; infantry defending the city and heavy infantry in the city The gate and light infantry were on the city wall for the final fighting battle. The entire army of 120,000 people is divided into three batches. Each batch of 40,000 people will fight in turns. Once the signs are wrong, the army will retreat to Kalin Bay in an orderly manner.
After Melisandre and Drogo Kao’s Flame Sacred Legion were broken with flame spells, they blocked the pursuit of the alien army.
After the military tactics are arranged, Will is responsible for commanding the First Army: 40,000; Landau Tully is responsible for commanding the Second Army: 40,000; Bunyan Stark and Melisandre are responsible for commanding the Third Army: Forty thousand people.
After everything is planned and designed, it is the daily training, and at the same time get in touch with Robb, Jon, Arya, Mans Reid and others in Hearth City. This time, the army of alien ghosts didn’t come quickly, and it hadn’t reached Hearth City.
The ghost did not arrive at Hearth City, but Daenerys and her four dragons came to Winterfell, and Will’s little golden dragon came back together.
