Less than a day after arriving, the soldiers of the book fetching team loyal to the Dragon Queen also managed to find the local quartermaster after a lot of scrambling, and equipped them with dragon crystal spears and arrows halfway. At this moment, in the chaotic fortress, he was following the red-robed monk Ma Qiluo through the alley, and stopped Carter Pike who was rushing towards the stairs with a dozen soldiers.
"Commander!" Maqiro shouted loudly, "I have confirmed the location of the two servants of the cold god... that is the location of the ghosts you mentioned. Please bring someone with me, and we can join hands to hunt them down!"
"I'm on a more important mission, and I don't have time to hunt with you, Your Excellency!" Carter roared. If it wasn't for the red-robed monk's tall, majestic physique, and dozens of Unsullied standing behind him, he would have been so violent. He had already pushed it away and continued on his way, "Get out of the way!"
A moment ago, Commander Eastwatch, like many of his subordinates, had the illusion that he could take back the fortress, and even took the lead in counter-charging a few times. They kept pouring in, still slowly but non-stop encroaching on the entire fortress.In the most violently attacked place, the defense line has even shrunk to the middle of the fortress, only two or three hundred meters away from the stairs.
It wasn't until this moment that Carter Pike, who had finally killed a cool guy and even died, came back to his senses, remembered the key content in the plan that required the destruction of the ladder, and hurriedly led a group of soldiers towards the direction of the Great Wall. Only then did the encounter and confrontation with Ma Qiluo and his party at this moment occur.
"If you don't kill those two aliens, no matter what you do, it will be in vain! If you insist on retreating, please hand over those Lightbringers to us, and let us deal with them!" Maqoro insisted without retreating. , even stretched out his right hand, consumed a little magic power, and created a ball of floating flames in his palm to show that he was not just relying on a magic stick with a mouth and no real ability: "I know we met on the first day, but I have Find a way to help you regain the fortress and save the lives of those brothers who are still alive, please trust me!"
This undoubted display of magic immediately frightened Carter. He froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at Ian Immet who was carrying the Dragon Steel Arrow of the stronghold: "Ian, take two reliable brothers to follow this red Clothes guy, take a bomb! Remember, I'm on the third platform of the stairs, if the ghouls appear in my field of vision first instead of you, I'll set the stairs on fire, don't blame me for not waiting for you in hell! "
"Yes, sir!"
He is capable and equipped with a magic weapon that is said to be able to shoot and kill other ghosts, but he has not even figured out where the target is all night. The commander of the East Sea Watch Rangers, Ian Emmett, has long held back his anger. When Carter allowed it, he was naturally refreshed, and happily brought two of his best cronies to join Ma Qiluo's team.
The two groups parted ways, one team rushed towards the stairs next to the Great Wall, and the other team rushed towards the nearest wall to the south against the sporadic fleeing and evacuating people.
The attack direction of the ghouls was to climb the stairs of the Great Wall, and the ghost hunting team avoided the enemy's main attack with all kinds of twists and turns, and killed a bloody path between the burning houses and alleys.Due to the correct choice of route, the enemies they encountered were not too many.The ghouls resurrected as puppets by the other ghosts are slightly stronger than before in terms of endurance, speed, and strength. However, when humans are equipped with restraining weapons, they are not difficult to deal with when they do not have an absolute numerical advantage. ...However, in this situation of melee fighting in the narrow environment between buildings in the fortress, what's really scary about them is that you never know from which corner, which turn and crossing, or even from the top of the roof they will suddenly appear. Pop out and let the team take casualties in unexpected situations.
However, all these difficulties disappeared under the leadership of a high-level Red God Priest.
As a servant of R'hllor, the Red God Priest who is proficient in fire magic is extremely sensitive to cold magic controlling ghouls, and can detect their existence from a long distance away.Under Maqiro's reminder, the White Ghost hunting team bypassed the large group and annihilated the small group, and every time they fought - the Unsullied with dragonglass spears could cleanly kill every approaching group like a wooden stake. The ghoul stabbed to the ground, even if there are occasional fish that slip through the net, they will be easily dealt with by Maqiro.
Contrary to ordinary people's imagination, the Red God Priest didn't cast some spell to "bang" the ghouls or ignite them into fire balls - although he could indeed do it, it was too much of a waste of mana.Maqiro's actual method is: release a pure fire attribute magic impact, penetrate into the body of the ghoul, directly dispel or neutralize the cold magic power poured into the latter's body by the other ghosts, and cut them off from the root. The White Walker's magical bond turns it back into a cold corpse.
His principle of killing ghouls is actually the same as that of dragon crystal, but without the carrier of obsidian, the attack distance is a bit shorter.
As a result, what the onlookers saw was that Maqiro raised his hand, made a gesture, snapped his fingers, and sometimes he didn't even move his body. During the scuffle, he suddenly appeared from the shadow of the corner and was about to take advantage of the crowd. And the sporadic ghouls that caused casualties fell down like empty sacks.
The Red God priest is not immune to magic suppression on the Great Wall. This is the most critical final battle, and he does not need to save magic power.
Just killing and running all the way, they rushed to the wall-climbing passage beside the wall.The soldiers guarding the wall have all withdrawn, but fortunately, after climbing over the wall, the ghouls will jump directly from the other side to enter the fortress, and will not deliberately come to find the passage under the wall. The burning ghouls and the corpses of night watchman soldiers who died in battle will be transformed and rise again at some point, and there are not many enemies blocking the way.
This is the outskirts of the fortress, the first place to fall, but the enemy is nowhere to be seen... I climbed up to the top of the wall and looked out carefully, and sure enough: except for the scorched black that was still smoking all over the ground and a small number of ghouls still moving under the wall Outside the body, the previous spectacular scene of crowds of corpses and corpses has disappeared - not only because the number of ghouls attacking Donghaiwatch on this road is only ten thousand, but also means: at this moment, the ghouls outside the wall have already disappeared. All rushed into the fortress!
"Master Priest, are you sure that the White Walkers are outside the wall? Wouldn't they follow their subordinates into the fortress?"
"No, they are also afraid of being attacked in a complicated environment. Most of them will stay outside the wall. After the ghouls capture the entire fortress and clean up the remaining humans, they will enter the city to receive the spoils."
Although he said it categorically and without hesitation, in fact, Maqiro was just guessing—he used magic induction to find the enemy, but when he searched for the target without casting spells, the White Walker was not obvious in his magic induction. He also took advantage of the moment when the enemy consumed a large amount of mana to forcibly extinguish the flames outside the wall to determine their positions.Did the White Walkers move and change places during the time they came all the way to find them... He wasn't sure.
However, it is better to try your luck at the location you sensed for the first time than to admit defeat or search aimlessly.
Everyone lowered their bodies and followed Maqiro forward under the cover of the battlements, exhaling white hot air every step. After advancing several hundred meters, Maqiro finally stood still, squatting behind the wall with Valel Yayu ordered an Unsullied person beside him: "This is it, look outside, is there anything unusual?"
The Unsullied frowned suspiciously: What is abnormality?For them who followed the Mother of Dragons from across the Narrow Sea, what they saw and heard after they set foot on the land of Westeros was very unusual, especially everything after they landed at the port of Eastwatch - he didn't know that the White Walker What does it look like, and even if you saw it, how should you report it?
Thinking about it, the instinct to execute orders still made him obediently straighten his back and look out of the wall.
In the pitch blackness, a crackling sound came towards his front door, and in the next second, his entire head poked out of the battlement, even the helmet on, and was completely smashed by the flying attackers like being headshot by a large-caliber sniper rifle. There was a cloud of blood mist, and the mutilated corpse fell sideways, and hot blood sprayed Maqiro's face.

Chapter 428 A Showdown Between Wisdom and Strength
Perception is mutual.
When the White Walkers consume mana, human wizards can determine their location by sensing energy fluctuations.It's fair--Maqiro continued to cast spells along the way, and the priest of the cold god also sensed his existence and approach.
(A small group of humans is coming towards him across the war zone, including a powerful mage.)
The two cold god priests—more precisely, the "Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the East Ghoul Army" roughly figured out the situation a few minutes ago, but they neither evaded nor evacuated. .
The pair of strange ghosts had only consumed a huge amount of magic power a moment ago, and joined hands to help the army pass through the sea of flames and attack the fortress. At this moment, they are trying their best to control the thousands of ghouls who entered the East China Sea, and micro-manipulated them to attack the stairs leading to the Great Wall... the magic power Insufficient connection made the connection unstable, and they had to move closer to the fortress to ensure precise control of the ghoul army.
This is the objective reason, but the subjective consideration is: as the servants of the gods, the priests of the cold god and the red god all have the duty and strong instinctive impulse to "destroy each other".
A red god priest with profound mana——when the Great Wall does not suppress the magic power of the fire attribute, Ma Qiluo is as threatening to the ghouls as a strange ghost encountered by unarmed human civilians.His existence is the most unstable factor affecting the outcome of the battlefield. Those dead puppets can't deal with a prepared wizard at all-if he goes into street fighting or retreats to the stairs to participate in the defense, the ghouls will die before their magic power is exhausted. Don't even think about taking a step forward, the strategic goal of capturing the top of the Great Wall is simply impossible to achieve.
Now, this lackey of R'hllor didn't guard the steps, nor ran up the wall to escape, but ran to die?For the White Walkers, this is exactly what they want.
Now that they're all here, let's decide the winner here!
***
Although the total amount of magic power in the body is dozens of times that of the most talented human wizards, in order to maintain the existence of the body, the magic power that the aliens can actually use is only a small half-it was all used on the frontal battlefield a moment ago. At the moment when the shielding magic has not yet expired, the recovery is quite slow.
However, even if the remaining magic power can no longer support the casting of spells, the White Ghost still has another gift from the Cold God: a body that is several times or even ten times that of human beings in terms of strength, speed, endurance, and even spirit... A strong body that is almost immune to magic.
Unlike R'hllor's lackeys, the priests of the Cold God are the most powerful fighters in the world even if they don't practice magic!
……
The heat generated by dozens of soldiers getting together was too strong—although Maqiro hid his aura and stopped casting spells after getting close to a certain extent, the two ghosts still roughly figured out from the heat exhaled from the mouths of the living people. They found the White Ghost hunting team, and threw flying stones to attack the moment someone appeared.
One hit!
It's a pity that it wasn't the priest of the Red God that the White Walkers wanted to kill, and Marquilo was still hiding under the wall!
As a servant of the Lord of Light and a wizard who is good at fire magic, Maqiro can easily eliminate ghouls, but he really has no way to deal with strange ghosts: the extremely cold body of these enemy magic creatures makes them immune to ordinary fire magic, If you want to kill them, you must use dragonglass or Valyrian steel with sufficient magic power to destroy their bodies and disrupt the flow of magic power in their bodies, or completely neutralize and annihilate them with a huge amount of fire-attribute magic power that crushes them... Unfortunately, as Even if Marquilo, who was made of flesh and blood, squeezed all the magic power out of his bones, he couldn't burn even half of the White Walker's arm.
Since head-to-head is not an opponent, it is better not to show up and let other soldiers attract firepower and save their lives...and then play a role at a critical moment.As a loyal servant of the Lord of Light, Marqoro only has R'hllor in his heart, and he will exhaust his wisdom and ability to complete the sacred mission entrusted to him by the Lord of Light—everyone and anything can be sacrificed!
"It's right here!" The ghoul could never make such a precise and powerful long-range attack. The red-robed monk who was splashed with hot liquid was not frightened by the blood at all, but still crouched behind the battlements, raising his hand to Torches were thrown outside the city wall, and spells were chanted loudly. In a wave of magic power, the wooden sticks wrapped in cloth strips were ignited from the inside to the outside. Instantly converted into light and heat, thus creating a powerful flare that can last for a few seconds, illuminating the small area of the world under the wall like daylight, and at the same time puffed up his chest and roared, "Unsullied, attack!"
The Unsullied will not be frightened by the dead Robe, they all emerged from behind the wall without hesitation after receiving the order, and the accompanying night watchmen also stood up excitedly.Under the light of the "flares" flying in mid-air, everyone saw two pale human figures sitting on horses standing in a daze only a dozen meters away from the wall—without the slightest hesitation, they moved towards the target indiscriminately. Throwing spears, throwing explosive bombs, and shooting arrows, they hope that one of these attacks will take effect and establish miracles for mankind.
"Slow down!" Marqiro not only did not show his head, but even held down Ian Emmett, who was about to stand up, until two more Unsullied fell to the ground under the attack of flying stones. It was impossible for the enemy to attack again in an instant, so he let go and patted the Ranger Commander on the shoulder, "Now, aim and shoot, success or failure depends on it!"
……
Apart from their physical strength, the White Walkers have another reliance that allows them to dare to shoot at dozens of human soldiers equipped with dragonglass weapons: a layer of crystallization that was hardened a moment ago to ensure the safety of casting spells close to the wall. skin.
Like the weapons they used to wield—the ice swords that cracked steel swords, the ice spears that shot dragons—this hard shell was made of the same material that made up their bodies: a little bit of physical substance And surging pure magic.After consuming energy to change its microscopic structure to achieve crystallization, this layer of skin will become stiff and affect movement, and it will no longer be able to circulate magic power, but at the same time, they will also become stronger and stronger than any substance in nature, used by night watchmen The ordinary ice fire weapon can't leave traces on its surface at all, let alone penetrate at all!
In the sound of swishing through the air, the two priests raised their hands to block their fragile eyes, and let the dragon crystal spears and arrows counterattacked by humans hit their bodies and shattered into glass shards in the bang sound, and the wooden poles fell into pieces. It fell on the ground with a bang... followed by a bomb explosion accompanied by a rumbling sound. The dragon crystal fragments propelled by the gunpowder gas were far faster and sharper than arrows, but except for crystallized skin Apart from being smashed into more thorough powder, they failed to cause any harm, only the unlucky corpse of the horse was smashed into a sieve by fragments, its legs softened, and the two priests were thrown to the ground.
At the end of the first round of confrontation, the two unscathed White Walkers moved away their eye-protecting arms, and once again searched for the figure of the Red God's lackey among the humans on the wall—they still couldn't find them, so they had no choice but to raise their arms and casually Picked two targets to aim at, ready to throw the amazingly powerful flying stone again.
But in the next second, an arrow that was a second later than other attacks for some reason suddenly flew straight. There were several layers of crystallized shells on his chest, and an incomparably powerful fire-attribute magic power sank into his chest without hindrance. Its energy was so pure and surging that he couldn't help but suspect that it was R'hllor himself who kicked his chest in this world. , this terrifying energy instantly annihilated all the magic power in his chest, completely destroying the rhythm and regularity of the magic power in his body... He didn't even hold on for a second before he broke into countless slag, and the slag further decomposed and gasified , before even finishing the action of "falling to the ground", it turned into a puff of extremely low-temperature smoke in mid-air. Except for the arrow, not even half of the fragments fell to the ground, and turned into pure cold magic power Returned between heaven and earth.
It is impossible for dragon crystal weapons to achieve this effect!
The "deputy commander-in-chief" who was raising his arm blinked, and found that his colleague who was a short distance away from him a moment ago had turned into a ball of original magic power without any residue. I don't understand: The enemy's initiative to fight is not at all the priest of the Lord of Light or the explosive bomb that can explode freezing fire, an artifact that can instantly kill one's own side that has never been seen before!
The servants of the cold god don't know what fear is, but the tasks programmed into their consciousness by the Night King require them to protect themselves first at all costs-without hesitation, they disconnect from most of the ghouls and absorb a mouthful of death left by their own kind After absorbing the pure cold magic power, the only remaining White Walker ran away from the fortress wall, jumped on the back of a corpse bear that was rushing to meet him, and rode this agile big guy into the darkness.
……
"Ein, keep shooting, I'll create a chance for you!" Maqiro stood up from behind the wall the moment he sensed that one of the two White Walkers was shot, stared at the back of the other White Walker, and held his hands far away. Clenched into a fist, it seems as if all the magical attainments of a lifetime have been accumulated for this moment, the magic power of the whole body gathers into a needle, and shoots at the back of the enemy fleeing on a bear in the distance!
Although it is impossible to kill the other ghosts directly with magic, but it is not easy to deal with a ghoul turned animal with all your abilities! ?
The corpse bear staggered, and the connection with the other ghosts was cut off in an instant. The moment it fell and threw the rider into the snow, white flames rose up and turned into a bright fireball.And at the moment when the only other ghost fell to the ground and was illuminated by the flames, the chief ranger of Donghaiwatch had successfully put the second dragon steel arrow on the bowstring and shot it out--this pair of strangers and mages who had never met before. The shooters completed a perfect cooperation. The well-made "Lightbringer III" swept a distance of 80 meters with a graceful arc, and accurately sank into the back of the enemy who fell into the snow and became a fixed target. ... With a soft pop, the entire army of more than ten thousand ghouls on the East Road was wiped out.

Chapter 429
The situation changed so quickly that it completely exceeded Iger's expectations.
After blowing a breath in Daenerys' ear, cutting off her possibility of accepting the refuge of the Reach, and respectfully sending her away on a dragon... This should have been another peaceful and ordinary day in the Land Grant, but it just happened. Walking back to the inner castle of Houguan Town from the "Dragon Landing Field", Melisandre hurried towards her with small steps before entering the gate, and immediately asked the queen where she had gone.After answering honestly, the witch, who had always been calm, suddenly changed her face. After accusing him hysterically, she ran back to the room in a panic without even answering his question.
I thought it was because the Goddess's brain was burnt out by magic and convulsed, but it turns out that the priest of the King of Light will not go crazy for no reason: after dinner, it was just dark, and the highest level of alarm came from the direction of East China Sea Watch and the Grand Canyon. According to the news, this final battle, which the entire land grant has been waiting for for more than ten months, suddenly broke out less than five hours after the Queen rode away on a dragon... Counting the time for rushing and preparing for action, it can almost be concluded that : The enemy actually started to act the moment Daenerys set off.
The "Land-grant Defense Plan" was launched immediately, the industrial area was shut down and the workshops were vacated, the important personnel on the list were evacuated into the inner fort, and the ordinary land-grant residents who had moved outside the wall, including giants, all dragged their belongings, Under the orderly command of the defenders, they squeezed through the gates and entered the wall, and the divisions settled down.
There was no plan to fight in the wild. When the evacuation was completed, the gate was closed, and all men and women who could hold weapons were armed with dragon crystals... All people can do next is long and tormented waiting, and praying The frontline defenders of the Great Wall can keep the enemy out, or the walls of Houguan Town are tall and strong enough.
***
Unlike ordinary residents who can only wait and resign themselves to their fate, the leaders still have to try to understand the situation, the battle situation and respond.Although the war has begun, the Night King can't... maybe because he doesn't want to waste his energy cutting off the enemy's means of communication. The massive amount of information from the frontline is still being sent to the commander-in-chief's desk, the command room at the core of the inner fort, through the Raven. People come and go, and it is in full swing.
There is nothing worth discussing about the situation at Donghaiwatch. The icing of Seal Bay was one of the most important considerations in the plan. Except for the severe ice storm that seemed like a gods sneeze, which caught everyone by surprise, everything that followed All unfolded as planned.
But on the other side of the Grand Canyon... to be precise, in the direction of Ice Bay, there was an unexpected accident.
"Bingxia Port was attacked by the Iron Fleet. Due to the initial command error, it was once attacked by the landing port and entered the fortress. There were more than two hundred casualties, and the internal facilities and materials suffered heavy losses... The Northern Fleet lost one warship and seriously injured one. Yu 'Ben Lang' was not seriously damaged."
"What, the Iron Fleet? How could they not die and harass Icestrait Harbor at the same time as the White Walkers attack?"
"It is said that Euron is a lunatic. Could it be that he negotiated with the Night King to eliminate the Night Watchmen and destroy the human world, and let him be the ruler of the remaining human beings?"
"Don't think about it, if the Night King really has the idea and ability to negotiate with humans, wouldn't it be easier to come directly to our commander-in-chief to promise benefits? Why bother to recruit a pirate on a small broken island as an ally!"
The officials in the room were arguing, while Iger carefully re-read the post-war report from Icefjord Harbor.
The ironborn have been fighting against the northern border for the past two years. It is completely reasonable for Euron to discover the northern military port hidden in the bay of ice and lead the iron fleet to protest and harass.But he finally attacked on the same day or even the same time when the Night King launched his general attack—if it is a coincidence, would anyone believe it?
He doesn't believe it anyway.
In the past, Iger might finally have no choice but to admit that he was unlucky after several struggles... But now, knowing that there are gods in this world, he immediately thought of something that few people believed.
He had heard from Melisandre that the Drowned God was a servant of the Cold God, and he thought it was just a habitual rhetoric used by gods to exalt the gods he believed in and belittle other beliefs, but now, it seems that How reasonable is it?
Euron's role in this final battle is likely to be similar to his own: only that he is the pawn of the Lord of Light, and he is the God of Cold!
Of course, it is impossible for the iron people to consciously weaken the power of the human side at the critical moment of the war between humans and ghosts-they may not know or believe in the existence of the ghosts and the army of the dead.But as long as the cold god planted the idea of "tonight is a good day to attack" in Euron's subconscious mind, he could easily convert a large group of living people into his own help, and when the night king led the army across the canyon, At the critical moment, use living people to deal with living people, and provide excellent flank assists for the main force!
And the final harvest of this wonderful move is: Ice Strait Harbor was besieged by the Ironmen, which made it impossible to send reinforcements and combat readiness to the adjacent front lines. The role played has not met the expectations of the original builder, that is, Iger.
However, now it is meaningless to think about the cause of the coincidence and blame others. What is more important now is to decide how the night watchman should respond according to the next move of the two enemy forces.
He knocked on the table and interrupted the discussion of everyone in the room: "Stop continuing this meaningless topic, continue to check the crow cage and all the letters, sort out the casualty data of the canyon defense line for me, and report to the Great Wall. Enemy movement!"
……
Different from the long-distance letter crows that communicate with the southern night watchman industry, the short-distance letter crows used for communication between Houguan Town and the strongholds along the Great Wall have been trained to "send letters back and forth by themselves day and night", so they can communicate with each other. A steady stream, every one or two hours, and then divided by the number of strongholds and letter crows, Houguan Town sent letters from the crow cage to the command center one after another... Let the people who originally planned to take the time to check the defense of the outer city wall Iger could only stay in the combat conference room all night, and couldn't stop at all-it doesn't matter to people, but it's just suffering from those smart birds flying around all night.
After the army led by the Night King successfully crossed the Grand Canyon and captured the canyon, they did not launch an attack on the Great Wall for a long time, making people wonder whether they would go directly south to Houguan Town...or even go straight to the Night Watchman's stronghold Go to the north.Fortunately, this worst situation did not happen in the end. When the ravens that were supposed to go to the Shadow Tower circled and flew back to the nest and refused to leave again, the headquarters judged that the enemy's attack on the Shadow Tower had begun.
This is good news, at least it shows that what Green Prophet Bran said about the magic inside the Great Wall is true: the White Walkers can't go around the Great Wall and go straight to the south without any scruples, making Iger's painstakingly managed land-grant defense become nothing...
However, although the attack came late, it ended quite quickly. In just over an hour, the strongest fortress at the western end of the Great Wall, the Shadow Tower that Eiger had hoped could hold the enemy overnight, turned into a sea of flames. After Lin withdrew to the sentry building, he used the raven there to report to the commander-in-chief in detail the whole process of the Battle of the Shadow Tower and the reason why it fell so quickly.
This is the first complete military intelligence report of "The Human Defenders and the Dead Army led by the White Walkers are fighting head-on". How to deal with the new tactics of Donghai, the good news that Donghaiwang's desperate counterattack unexpectedly won a great victory was also sent into the room by the soldiers.
"Hey, this is interesting. The defense of the Shadow Tower should be stronger than that of Eastwatch. How could there be such a big gap?"
"It's wonderful. The frontline army fought a defeat and a victory in two places respectively. After analyzing and comparing, and summarizing the reasons, we will definitely be able to get some useful information for the next battle!"
These words reached Iger's heart, under his nodding approval and order, everyone in the room, the entire think tank of the night watchman put down their work, gathered together, and began to give priority to summarizing from these two stronghold battle reports with completely different endings Useful information.
……
The first is the enemy's strength. Since Donghaiwang has already won, it can be counted a little more accurately: the number of ghouls coming across the sea should be between 3 and [-], led by two ghosts; The number of the enemy's main forces coming from the canyon can only be estimated - Colin Halfhand's personal judgment is: "more than [-]".Even when the Night Watchman has accepted more than [-] wildlings, the enemy still has such a large number. Just thinking about it is frightening and frightening.
Then there is the difference between what the enemy showed this time and what the night watchman originally knew about it: the ghoul showed obvious signs of being commanded, no longer just swarming towards the enemy, but can execute some things under control, such as Simple tactics such as encircling, feinting to attract attention, focusing on attacking weak gates, and interspersing in the fortress to go straight to the key target; ability.
Although these changes have made the defense plan a little out of date, it is not too unexpected. On the contrary, it further confirms the previously agreed judgment that the White Walkers have higher intelligence——Wildfire and Dragonglass are both vigils. Humans have used weapons in previous skirmishes, and the enemy has prepared targeted countermeasures and solutions for these weapon characteristics, which is quite normal.
Finally, it is a summary of the reasons why East China Sea Watch can win: it is already past midnight, and it is the next day in terms of time... But everyone present, including Iger, did not recall until then-yesterday during the day Eastwatch did indeed have a fleet from Dragonstone, loyal to the queen, arrive with fetchers.It's just that no one expected that just a few dozen people in this area would play a huge role in helping the Night Watchman win a round at the beginning of the war, making great contributions!
After trying to restore Eastwatch's process of hunting the White Walkers word by word from the battle report, Iger quickly realized that he had made a small but fatal mistake earlier.
He had come into close contact with and killed the White Walkers, so he subconsciously felt that everyone should know what the White Walkers looked like and be able to find them.But the actual situation is that most people have just glanced at it from a distance or only heard about the appearance of the ghosts. When these magical creatures are hidden in the sea of ghouls and do not take the initiative to send them to human beings to die, it is empty. There is an artifact, but the target cannot be found!
Ordinary people who don't know magic can only find out key enemies and give targeted and focused attacks under the guidance of extraordinary beings like Marquis, Melisandre, or Green Prophet Bran.But in the entire land grant, there are only these three people who have this ability, and they can't even find the fourth one!
"Send a letter to all the fortresses along the Great Wall to inform them of the situation, and order all commanders to block the city gates overnight, and each formulate a new emergency plan, which will be put into use when the wildfire failure occurs again." Iger turned his mind a few times, Start issuing orders, and use the newly acquired information to carry out targeted tactical and strategic responses, "In addition, in more polite terms, thank Mr. Maqiro for his contribution to the Night Watchman during the Great War, and request him——Go to the Long Night immediately Fort, to help defend the most critical fortress along the Great Wall.”
(There are three extraordinary beings in the land-grant on the human side at this moment, and there are two in Houguan Town, and the Night Fort, as the core of the magic source of the Great Wall, has none! Houguan Town has gathered nearly half of the civilians in the land-grant, it is impossible If you don’t keep it, all you can do right now is to let Marqiro work hard, and rush to the Nightfort as soon as possible to sit in charge and fill the vacancy of the extraordinary existence there.)
"Yes, my lord!"
"Yam, go organize your people immediately, demolish the irrelevant buildings in the industrial area, and use the materials you get to seal up a few gates, making sure to block them to the point that they are only stronger than the walls!"
(The enemy may use heavy weapons to attack the weak points of the wall. The best way to deal with it is to make these weak points disappear!)
"understand!"
"Humphrey, go to Master Mott and Ms. Melisandre, and restart a casting workshop in the industrial area alone, and ask the two of them to recast part of the dragon steel arrowheads again and cast them into fragments, which are used to fill two arrowheads. A bomb - to assassinate the Night King!"
(Iger originally imagined that the dragon crystal bomb was prepared as a big gift for the ghosts, but the plan could not keep up with the change. When the enemy mastered the weapon against the dragon crystal, he was also immune to the dragon crystal bomb... Although it has been proved that the dragon steel The arrows still work, but now that two White Walkers have been shot and killed, it is hard to guarantee that the Night King will think of a new way to deal with the dragon steel arrows when he attacks next time, then—the safest way, Mo It’s too cramped to get a new killer weapon. Maybe, in the case of the same shape as the “Dragon Crystal Bomb”, the “Dragon Steel Bomb” can be more easily established.)
"Okay, I'll do it right now."
"The rest of the staff should stay and continue to deal with the battle reports.
