Six Hundred and Fortieth Chapters War Is Imminent
"That's not easy, much more difficult than going west of Westeros." Shen Long smiled and shook his head, "Okay, you should have a good rest, let's start a new day of practice!"
After Littlefinger's death, the nobles of the Valley still did not leave. They all believed that the White Walkers were about to go south. For the safety of the entire Westeros continent, they were willing to stay in Winterfell to help the Stark family guard, or for themselves , but having said that, the terrain of the valley seems to be more suitable for defensive warfare than Winterfell.
When the blood gate is closed, the ghouls can only squeeze in along the narrow passage, and Winterfell is on a plain, easily surrounded by the army of aliens; but there are still so many people in the northern border However, if the army leaves, they will have to wait to die. Even if they can defeat the White Walkers in the end, the Northern Territory will be over.
Now Winterfell City has begun to build various fortifications. Cobain commanded the soldiers of Winterfell City to install the giant crossbow on the city wall. After the first giant crossbow was manufactured, Sansa and Bachelor Walken recognized Cobain's ability, and began to mobilize more manpower and material resources to help him, but the crossbow arrows have not yet been equipped with arrows, and the dragon crystal from Dragonstone Island has not yet been delivered.
Outside the city walls, Lyanna Mormont, Bronze Yon and others were digging trenches. Shen Long and Cobain changed the defense plan together. Instead of just digging a trench, it was changed to a multi-layered trench. Having broken through the first and second paths, this plan was approved by Bronze Jorn.
Among the remaining nobles in Winterfell, Bronze Jorn has the most extensive military experience, and he has always had a good relationship with the Stark family. He was Ned's good brother when he was in the valley, and the Royce family She has also been married to the Stark family, no matter where she starts from, Sansa is willing to follow his advice.
As a result, a city defense system that was more complete than the original work began to be built. When the trenches were dug, not only would horses be installed inside, but wildfires created by Cobain would also be arranged in order to inflict maximum damage on the ghouls.
In addition, Shen Long also suggested that the Amber family withdraw from Last Hearth in advance and take everyone to Winterfell for refuge. This will not only increase the strength of Winterfell, but also reduce the number of ghouls.
Sansa was hesitant at first, but Sansa changed her mind immediately after Maester Walken handed her a letter just sent by the raven. In this letter, Jon told Sansa that after the just-concluded dragon At the cave meeting, Jon showed James and Euron the ghoul he had just captured.
After seeing the ghoul, James, after Tyrion's persuasion, agreed to lead an army to the northern border for reinforcements, and Euron decisively left Blackwater Bay with his fleet. As for whether he should return to the Iron Islands or go to Essos to hire gold The group doesn't know.
"The Lannister family, Daenerys' Dothraki cavalry and the Unsullied, suddenly there are so many people in the northern border, how to solve the food problem?" This news made Sansa both happy and worried, happy There are so many reinforcements,
The worry is that there is not enough food to eat. The northern border was originally very cold, and the food production was not high. There were so many people suddenly, and it was indeed not an easy task to feed them.
"With all due respect, you don't have to worry about this issue, as long as the food can persist until the arrival of the alien army; if this battle fails, I believe everyone will no longer have to worry about eating, and if you win, I think their demand for food will also be greatly reduced," Shen Long said.
If you lose, everyone dies, so naturally you don't have to worry about what to eat, even if you win, you will definitely lose a lot, and the food is probably enough for those who are still alive.
"Your words are cruel and correct." Sansa responded, and she immediately issued an order for Ned Umber to return to Last Hearth immediately, and bring all the soldiers, people, horses and food of Umber's family to Winterfell The city is coming.
Speaking of this, Shen Long wanted to complain about the original plot again. As I said before, it is at least two thousand kilometers from King’s Landing to Winterfell, and it would take at least a month for a large army to march. Could it be that Jon is so long? Didn't write a letter to Sansa? Remind her to win over the people in the north as soon as possible?
Daenerys's army didn't think of it until they arrived. Is it because Jon and Sansa have insufficient brains, or did the army open any door like Varys? Can you teleport in Westeros?
Also, Viserion was revived in the final season of the seventh season of the White Walker, why did it take so long to come to Winterfell? It's much closer to Winterfell from the Great Wall than from King's Landing to Winterfell, and the White Walkers don't have to eat and rest. Why are they walking slower than Daenerys' army? Could it be that if the screenwriter didn't let them go, they wouldn't dare to go?
The defense system outside Winterfell became more and more perfect day by day. The trench was dug for three full circles, blocking the road from the north to the south of Winterfell. Sea ships also began to transport the dragon crystal from Dragonstone Island. Cobain and Shen Long together Study the characteristics of dragon crystal and discuss what kind of weapons should be made with dragon crystal.
Shen Long also got some dragon crystal weapons for himself. In this way, adding mithril weapons will not be effective against ghosts or ghouls, and he can also have an alternative weapon. In addition, Shen Long is still a little curious. what would be the reaction.
Finally, Daenerys and her army landed from White Harbor by sea boat. They went up the White Fork River and soon approached Winterfell; while in the south, the Lannister army led by James crossed the Neck. , will arrive in Winterfell after Daenerys.
It is said that His Excellency Duke Edmure-Tully also wanted to lead the army of the Riverlands to join the war, but the Frey family had just been dealt with by Arya, and the Riverlands had been wrecked by the war before, and Duke Edmure hadn't been able to gather them. Enough soldiers, Sansa also politely declined Edmure's kindness.
Maybe she felt that her uncle bringing people here seemed to have no other effect except wasting more food, and it was a good thing that he didn't come.
On this day, the soldiers of the Stark family came back to report that Queen Daenerys' army was about to arrive in Winterfell, and Sansa took many nobles from the North and the valley to the city to prepare to meet them.
Arya was supposed to stand with those nobles, but Arya rejected this suggestion. She quietly hid among ordinary people, and Shen Long was with her. He was very curious about the real dragon and himself on the screen. What is different from what you see.
Soon, there was the sound of neat footsteps in the distance, the silent Unsullied Legion came, followed by the sound of scattered horseshoes, and the Dothraki cavalry also came, and the battle between the living and the king was about to begin.
