In the North, the densely packed White Walker black spots all over the sky have spread all over the entire north of Winterfell and the large snowfield that can be seen with the naked eye south of the Wolf Wood. The number, at first glance, makes people feel, The number of enemies is at least hundreds of thousands!
Yes, those are all White Walkers, countless White Walkers that can't be seen at a glance.
In addition to the black spots that dotted the entire snowfield and made people's scalp feel numb, there was also a large area of faint blue that was like stars, but it was extremely bright and permeable...
Anyone who has faced the White Walkers directly will know without much guessing: those are all the eyes of the White Walkers!
Now, on that large snowfield, there are as many blue light spots as there are from the eyes of the White Walkers...
And their destination is also obvious, which is the key point of this northern land and the throat leading to the southern continent of Westeros - Winterfell.
"..."
Daenerys Targaryen, the mother of dragons, did not speak. She just stood at the top of Winterfell with everyone, looking into the distance with a slight frown, watching the sky hovering in the distance, disappearing in the snow from time to time. The dragon in the mist was killed by the White Walkers and then resurrected into a White Walker... As she looked at it, she couldn't help but clenched her fists so tightly that her fingers turned white.
Originally, she had three dragons of her own, and they were all her children. She hatched them in the fire...
Their names are: Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion.
And now, she only has two left, Drogon and Rhaegal, who are still hovering and roaring above Winterfell, and one of them, the dragon named Viserion, has been brutally killed by the enemy. It's those White Walkers!
Moreover, they even used evil abilities to resurrect and control it, making it become their enemy...
It was originally named Viserion by her in memory of her brother Viserys... It was originally very beautiful, most of its scales had a milky white luster, and its horns, wing bones and crest were All precious gold...
But now, looking at it from a distance, it can no longer see its original posture. What is left is only the ruined wing membrane, pale white with black, but still ferocious body, and... that blue and yet... Evil huge eyes.
That dragon, that great being that still flies and roars in the distant sky, is no longer her child Viserion of Daenerys Targaryen. Now, the other party is just a dragon that obeys the evil of the enemy. The devil of strength!
Yes, her two children, Drogon and Rhaegal, also felt it, so they were very angry now, roaring and circling in the sky... And if she hadn't been trying to control it, they might have rushed forward. Fighting the White Walkers who desecrated the bodies of their brothers.
"What's wrong with you, Daenerys?"
Finally, after looking at the situation of the enemies on the horizon for a while, Jon felt that a large-scale field battle would not be a good idea, so he turned to look at Dany, the Fire Dragon Queen, who was the real talker here in a sense. Lys Targaryen.
Now that the residents of Winterfell have almost evacuated, most of them began to move south along the King's Road, across the frozen White Knife River, and evacuated to places such as Cailin Bay and Greywater Watch in the south of Westeros continent. Winterfell, a military fortress in the north, was vacated and given over to the "Dragon Girl Alliance" who had gathered here.
Therefore, now Jon and the others can safely command the generals and soldiers and prepare to launch a large-scale defensive or counterattack war with the enemy in the power of Winterfell!
"..."
"Jon! Tell me, how many enemies are there outside?"
Daenerys Targaryen looked at the horizon in the distance. There, there were endless black shadows slowly squirming. Those hidden in the wind, snow and fog kept moving towards them. The terrifying shadow approaching from Winterfell...
After first roughly estimating the opponent's number, she turned to look at Jon Snow, who was wearing a black cloak and thick leather armor, and whom she had a good impression of, and asked softly. road.
This Jon is the only man Daenerys has ever met who can touch her dragons without making them feel disgusted, so she and he are on good terms...
Well, those things are not important now. What is important right now is: she still doesn't know exactly how many enemies there are, but she only knows that north of Winterfell, as far as she can see, they are all them. The enemies are all those evil and terrifying White Walkers!
"Now there are about more than 100,000. If my magical brother is not mistaken, there may be many more in the north!!"
Once a person has passed through thousands of miles, the mountains and plains are all over the place; once a person has passed through thousands of miles, there are no boundaries...
However, the scene in front of him now is somewhat beyond Jon's expectations, because during the dispute between the Seven Kingdoms, the duel between thousands of people from both sides was already considered an incredible battle! But look now, those enemies number in the tens of thousands and are approaching his Winterfell. The visual shock is really terrifying.
With that kind of number of enemies, even if the opponent stood still and let them kill them, it would probably take several days to kill them, not to mention the fact that the two sides were about to fight to the death!
"..."
"Our Winterfell garrison is not half as large as theirs. Although the remaining troops are on the road, it will take at least half a month to arrive...Jon, tell me, we are really Can we defend Winterfell?"
In a voice that could only be heard by a few people around her, Daenerys Targaryen asked her truest thoughts with some concern.
She actually already knew how powerful the White Walkers were!
Not only did they have absolute advantages in numbers and attributes that could not be killed easily, but they also had strong individual strength... Especially those giant dragons that could shoot her from a long distance with ice crystal spears. Viserion's terrifying White Walker knights, their power made her feel scared and trembling from the bottom of her heart!
And this was the real reason why she was a little worried about whether Winterfell could be defended.
After all, this Winterfell is so big. Although it is the largest city in the North, with tall walls and semi-fortress-like facilities, she still feels a little worried when facing enemies who have an absolute advantage in number and strength. There is no bottom... Therefore, at this critical moment before the city defense battle is about to begin, he has to say such depressing words that are likely to affect morale.
Of course, what she said was very low. Except for the silent little devil Tyrion and others, the soldiers in the distance would definitely not be able to hear her.
"If it's a field battle, I may not be able to guarantee..."
"However, if it were to defend the city now... I think we should have a big advantage in the terrain. As long as Daenerys is responsible for dealing with the White Walker dragon in the sky, we will be sure to defend this winter. City until our army arrives at full speed and starts a decisive battle with them!!"
Yes, Jon is very confident in holding Winterfell, because he grew up here, he is familiar with everything here, and he is confident that he can keep this city.
Of course, there are prerequisites for defending Winterfell. After all, walls as high as the Great Wall have been breached, and their Winterfell is only less than one-fifth of the height of the Great Wall, so it must be very difficult to defend. Tough! Therefore, the first thing to be solved is the alien dragon that the enemy also possesses, which directly destroyed a section of the Great Wall in East Seawatch! !
Even if you can't burn the opponent, you must at least contain it. Therefore, this task belongs to Daenerys! After all, the only one who can fly here seems to know her and her dragon.
"..."
"I understand. I will try my best to lead Drogon and Rhaegal to deal with the alien dragon that Viserion turned into, but I can't guarantee that we can kill it!"
If it were just that alien dragon, Daenerys Targaryen was confident that Drogon and Rhaegal would tear each other to pieces or completely burn each other in a two-on-one situation, leaving him to rest in peace!
However, the White Walker knight on the opponent's back made her very afraid. She didn't have much confidence in defeating the opponent, so she could only check the situation first, or delay it as much as possible.
"That's good!"
Nodding in relief, Jon said nothing more, but once again followed everyone's gaze and looked at the horrors in the distance that were approaching Winterfell step by step on the snowfield. The White Walkers.
There are really too many of them...
"..."
"..."
At this time, the combatants standing beside Daenerys and Jon, such as Galen, Davos Seaworth, Brienne of Tarth, Jorah Mormont, and Tyrion Lannister , Gray Worm, and a certain bachelor general Jaime Lannister who came from King's Landing, all stood silently on the city wall, looking at the White Walkers in the distance who were so large that they almost made people feel despair. They!
Although there are now tens of thousands of troops in Winterfell, the momentum is still far behind.
Those monsters...
Even though they seem to be countless now, everyone knows that they are just a small number of forwards in the White Walkers...
Therefore, from now on, it will definitely not be easy for them to defend Winterfell and hold on to the White Walkers' southward route.
"Hey! Galen, how are you recovering now?"
Arya, who was also standing in the crowd, stood on tiptoe and looked at the scene outside the city wall for a while. Then she suddenly turned her head and looked at someone who had a relaxed face and was holding a heavy hammer. A guy wearing knight's plate armor asked.
"Recovery is going well..."
"..."
"I see you look relaxed, you don't seem to be worried at all?!"
"Ah!"
"Arya...it's not that I'm not worried, it's that I have nothing to worry about! Look, we are on the city wall now, protected in the city. Although there are many enemies outside, we also have many friendly forces. ! This is much better than when the two of us were chased by a group of monsters in the snow!"
"We are not fighting alone now, so what do we have to worry about?"
In fact, what Galen wants to say is: If you can't beat him, just run away. What are you afraid of?
Look here, there are so many people here in Winterfell to attract the enemy's attention. If Winterfell is really destroyed one day, Galen will not run faster than most people no matter what he says. Slowly, so he really has nothing to worry about now.
"..."
"You are right, we can definitely defend Winterfell!!"
Winterfell is also Arya's home, the place where she grew up. Therefore, no matter what, she is the one who most hopes that the 'Dragon Girl Alliance' can successfully defend this place, her home, and them. The people of the Stark family's core fortress in the north.
Hopefully, things will really be as easy as Galen showed, right?
coax! coax!
At this time, at the head of Winterfell, Drogon, the largest dragon owned by Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons, flapped its huge wings and slowly descended into the walls of Winterfell. , after occupying a huge open space and successfully squeezing away a large group of Winterfell coalition soldiers, it obediently stretched its long head in front of everyone, letting their mother Dan Nerys Targaryen can climb along its head to the riding position on its back.
Boom boom... boom boom...
There were strong gusts of wind and the sound of huge wings flapping again...
Soon, after the dragon mother Daenerys mounted her huge flying dragon, she followed the dragon high into the sky with the sharp north wind, and began to accompany her other dragon Rhaegar. Flying, hovering above Winterfell, always ready to deal with the other dragon of the White Walkers and the White Walker knight on the opponent's back.
"..."
"Knight Galen, you have powerful special powers. Daenerys's other dragon is still empty on her back. You can actually take off with her to help deal with the enemy's White Walker knight."
Jon looked at the two huge fire dragons hovering in the sky, and then looked at the White Walker dragon roaring and flying in the distance. He was a little worried about his queen Daenerys, so he naturally used questioning eyes. He looked at a man who was said to be able to defeat Galen with one against ten thousand.
If his sister Arya is not lying, this Galen not only has superb swordsmanship and powerful strength, but also has some kind of magical means. It seems to be some kind of 'big sword falling from the sky'?
Those things were told to him by Arya. He had not seen them in person and did not know whether they were true or false. However, since most people said that Galen had special powers, it would not be wrong.
"terribly sorry!"
"Dear Mr. 'King of the North' (King of the Natives), I will never easily ride on the back of such an uncontrolled biological flying unit without wearing CMC armor. Absolutely not!”
"besides!"
"I advise you to get that Queen Daenerys down quickly. That huge flying dragon is a powerful predator. Their fighting instincts don't need to be controlled by humans at all!"
That's right, if he didn't want to be thrown to death, he would definitely not run onto the back of a flying monster easily.
Furthermore, in Galen's view, it would be superfluous for a woman who doesn't know how to fight to control that kind of dragon to fight! If the largest dragon has a combat power of one hundred, then when it carries the woman on its back, its combat power may be less than eighty?
or……
Not even seventy?
Sure enough, there is some truth in why war makes women go away! That, ahem... some crazy women in the star sector, especially the ghost agent leader named Nova, are really an exception! !
"C...MC armor? What kind of armor is that?!"
Obviously, Jon didn't think there was anything wrong with what Daenerys did. He just didn't quite understand the name of the armor that the guy named Galen said, and he didn't understand why he was riding a dragon and being a Does an honorable dragon knight have to put on a certain piece of armor before going into battle?
If he, Jon, had the power, he would have followed Daenerys to fly and fight side by side in the sky!
"..."
"well……"
"I won't say it anymore, that's really a sad story..."
Galen, who feels that he may have permanently wandered on this alien planet and will never be able to return to the Koprulu Sector and Haven Star, really doesn't want to recall those things that easily arouse his longing. Something.
——————
The Golden Company was once a mercenary group founded by the noble bastard Aego River.
Across the sea, to the east of the sea, the Golden Company is regarded as the largest, most famous and most expensive mercenary group of the Free Trade City! Although the mercenaries in this world have always been notorious for being capricious, without honor, discipline, and difficult to control and restraint...
However, the Golden Group is very different. Its most honorable and admirable thing is that they never break a contract.
Their motto is 'Words are like gold'!
As long as you are employed, you will definitely perform your duties and never waver! !
At this time, the Golden Legion, a powerful army with more than 10,000 elite walking heavy armored warriors, thousands of elite golden cavalry, and dozens of mighty mammoth war elephants, slowly followed the giant ships of the Free Trade City. After docking, we finally landed in the huge square of King's Landing Pier.
"..."
"Welcome! Welcome everyone to my kingdom!!"
With a cruel and somewhat proud smile on her face, Cersei, guarded by her bodyguard Ser Robert Strong and a team of elite Kingsguards, arrived at these people who had landed and formed up, looking neat and orderly. And in front of the mighty and majestic army, the man at the head was wearing a golden chainmail. He hardly looked like a warrior, and he was a little fat. He also had a big head, light gray eyes, and was covered by those sparse hair. the bald man said.
This is why after Cersei received the support of the Iron Bank and agreed and was willing to fight against Daenerys Targaryen, the Iron Bank paid her to hire the most powerful and reliable person in the world. The most powerful mercenary army - the Golden Company! !
Moreover, Cersei also knows that from now on, and for a long time to come, this army can also be said to be one of the most powerful armies in the entire Westeros continent, and will protect her, the monarch of the Seven Kingdoms. Guardian of the Realm, the Andals fight against the Queen of the First Men!
Therefore, the more Cersei looked at the 20,000 Golden Company mercenaries in front of her, the more she liked them.
Of course, it would really be better if their leader wasn't the fat bald man in front of him who definitely couldn't go directly to the battlefield to fight with the soldiers to kill the enemy.
"Her Majesty Queen Cersei Lannister!"
"I am Harry Strickland, currently the temporary leader of the Golden Company. I am now fulfilling the sacred contract and leading the Golden Company to King's Landing in Westeros. I swear that starting from today, I will serve you until the end of the contract. Serving...your will is the direction of our sword!!"
Harry Strickland motioned for a standard bearer to hold high the banner of the Golden Company, holding high the largest military flag with Aegor Rivers' skull cast in gold and inlaid on the top of the military flag. He followed him and walked to Cersei. In front of the queen, he pulled out the sword from his waist, knelt down on one knee and swore an oath.
In fact, Cersei was right in thinking that Harry Strickland was really not a warrior at all!
His great-grandfather lost the family fiefdom due to supporting Daemon Blackfyre's rebellion. Therefore, the three generations following Harry's grandfather were all born in foreign lands and were raised in the Golden Company. His family was 'four generations loyal to The Golden Group' can also be said to be one of the meritorious veterans!
Therefore, although he was not a brave soldier and often complained about blisters on his feet due to marching, even before he was promoted to regimental commander, he, Harry, held the position of logistics and financial officer in the regiment... But In the end, he was selected and became the latest leader of the Golden Company!
"very good!"
"Stand up, Sir Harry Strickland, tell me now, how many people are there in your Golden Company... no, my Golden Company now?!"
The Golden Company was hired by Cersei using the gold from the Iron Bank to help her fight against Daenerys Targaryen, the mother of dragons. Therefore, she didn't care about the loyalty contract claimed by the other party. She cared more about these. Can a legion of 20,000 people meet her expectations?
Because the battle between the "Dragon Girl Alliance" and the White Walkers in the north will soon begin in the northern land, in the snowfield area of Winterfell. Before they can decide the winner, Cersei We must act quickly and arrange matters related to the six southern countries.
"Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Our Golden Regiment currently has a total of 20,136 warriors, including 13,000 heavily armored foot warriors, a total of 7,000 heavy cavalry and light armored horse archers, and 135 mammoth soldiers. , forty-five war elephants, other slaves and servants are not included!"
"us……"
The employer needed to know the information about the Golden Company. Of course, Sir Harry Strickland had no reason to refuse to answer, so he was ready to tell all the information about the Golden Company under his command, as if he was setting off on a new journey for their Golden Company. A good foundation has been laid for the land of Westeros.
However, before Sir Harry Strickland could continue, he was interrupted by a crisp and childish voice.
"!!"
"Wait! Just wait first!!"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"I've obviously calculated it just now..."
"Look at it: there are 20,136 of you in total, 13,000 walking on foot, 7,000 riding big horses, and 135 riding that kind of elephant. people……."
_〆(´Д｀)
"But look, there are only 20,135 people in total, and there's one more?!"
……](lll￢ω￢)彡☆
Whether Little Annie calculated silently or used her fingers to quickly use the addition formula in the palm of her open hand, she only calculated 20,135 people, which was not what the other party meant. Said 20,136 people!
Therefore, Anne felt that this chubby bald man was either lying or failing at arithmetic! It is unacceptable for a guy like him to be so bad at arithmetic even though he is such a big guy.
"Well……"
"Who is this……?"
The corner of Sir Harry Strickland, the leader of the Golden Legion, twitched. He first carefully looked at the little girl who came here with Queen Cersei, and then looked doubtfully at the person in front of him who was just waiting for his report. Queen of Reign.
Because, according to Harry's information, all of Cersei's children should be dead. So, who is this little girl who can cause trouble in such an occasion without restraint?
"..."
"She is the chief magician of my court!"
Cersei didn't even introduce Anne's name to the other party. She just said this casually after glancing around at the golden groups that were neatly arrayed.
"..."
Court Magician...
After frowning and thinking for a while, Sir Harry Strickland was puzzled. He still didn't know what the position of a court magician was, so he looked curiously at the little girl who was blinking her big eyes and looking up to wait for his answer. .
"I myself am the 20,136th person..."
Although he couldn't understand why a little girl had such a strange title, Harry, who felt that the other person should be an important figure in his employer, Queen Cersei, still explained with a slight smile.
"oh!"
╰(*°▽°*)╯
"So that's what it's like..."
o(*^▽^*)☆
After discovering that she had accidentally missed the calculation, Annie stopped asking any more questions and just took a few steps forward with some curiosity, running to the more interesting-looking golden group mammoth war elephants.
"!?"
"Be careful, don't let strangers get close to them!!"
However, at this time, the leader of the Golden Regiment, Sir Harry Strickland, suddenly exclaimed and hurriedly wanted to have someone pull away and take away the little girl who had sneaked in front of the war elephant without authorization.
Because the war elephants of their Golden Group are all violent and dangerous creatures, used for fighting. If any stranger who is not recognized by them comes to them without permission, they may be ruthlessly attacked by the violent creatures. The ground attack, even with the control of the driver, is useless!
It's a pity that he still said it too late...
Moo~! ! !
An angry roar of the elephant sounded, and then everyone and the driver riding on the elephant's neck were horrified to find that the elephant raised its hooves high in anger, regardless of the weight on its back. The master's control stepped heavily towards a little girl who dared to run up to it and look at it without being kind!
"!!"
"!?"
"????"
"Seven gods above..."
However,
An inexplicable thing happened that shocked everyone present, including Queen Cersei, the leader of the Golden Company, Sir Harry Strickland, and the surrounding Golden Company elephant soldiers and soldiers:
That little girl actually used her tender-looking little hand to support the huge powerful front hooves of the elephant that brought her down with one hand? !
That elephant's hoof, which is bigger and thicker than the little girl's body, can't help that little little person? !
"..."
(ー`´ー)
"Aunt Cersei, can I have roasted elephant tonight?!"
ψ(｀؎´)ψ♨♨
Annie thinks, she looks so cute, but this elephant wants to trample her to death... I didn't say that, the other party must be the bad guy! And since he is a bad guy, no matter whether he is a human or an animal, he should be burned, burned, burned! !
Burn something...
Um…….
It’s ready to eat after it’s cooked…
(๑´•﹃•`๑)
It seems that she has never eaten an elephant!
"..."
"..."
