Chapter 352 The Battle of Winterfell

Although Bear Island is also located north of Winterfell, it survived because it is an island.

This also just confirms the conjecture of Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands, that this group of dead people can't swim!

And Bear Island could have stayed out of the way like the Iron Islands, but Jorah Mormont, Earl of Bear Island, responded to the call and actively participated in the war against the White Walkers.

But it was such a person who suddenly encountered trouble at this time. It turned out that Jorah Mormont had been secretly selling slaves before.

This matter was originally well hidden, but it was exposed because of this war.

In order to make money to satisfy his greedy wife, Jorah sold the poacher to Tyrosh as a slave, and slave trading is illegal in the north.

Eddard Stark arrested Jorah for this and wanted to sentence him to death, and Jeor Mormont, the old earl of Bear Island who had joined the Night's Watch, wanted to find the king to intercede, but he came to Stark. Duke Ke raised his hand in front of the door but couldn't knock on it.

He knew that his son had committed a capital crime, and Lord Eddard was an unselfish person.

What's more, what kind of identity should I use to plead for Jorah? He has renounced the title of Bear Island to become Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch.

This incident caused a lot of trouble in Winterfell, the second line of defense built by mankind, and everyone was watching Duke Eddard's actions indifferently.

Jorah took the lead in the battle of the Great Wall of Despair, slashed and killed an unknown number of ghouls, and made great achievements, but just following the army withdrew to Winterfell, she was caught by her own king and sent to the gallows to hang. die.

However, this matter continued to ferment for a period of time. Old Mormont did not plead for his son, but Jorah Mormont did not die in the end, and miraculously saved the day.

It turned out that King Robert made the rescue for Jorah.

He helped the warrior who had taken the lead in the Battle of Pike Island, thinking that now is the time to hire people, he just sold a few damn people, and now he doesn't do it again, he should not be punished.

So Robert asked Eddard Stark to release Jorah, but the righteous Duke Stark refused.

King Robert was so enraged that he personally ordered Jorah to be pardoned and asked Eddard Stark to release him.

Then Jorah Mormont walked out of the prison in Winterfell unscathed.

The king's move immediately aroused unanimous praise from the soldiers of the Seven-Nation Alliance. People chanted the king's name and toasted him.

The sluggish morale of the coalition forces during this period has also been relieved by this incident and has become more united.

However, Eddard Stark, who became the villain in this story, did not explain anything from the beginning to the end, even if someone would criticize and point at his back.

…

The army of the dead crossed the Great Wall, and a guerrilla war between humans and the dead began.

The human coalition seized the opportunity to divide the army of the dead, and took the initiative to attack everywhere to encircle and wipe out the enemy's small units.

Randall Tully, the Reach general, wields the family Valyrian steel sword Heartbreaker and slashed a White Walker, becoming the second White Walker to kill the White Walker after King Robert.

However, the bad news also came. All the people stationed in the fall of Terror Fort became fresh ghouls, and the soldiers of Hayward and the Frey family who rushed to support were attacked by the White Walkers.

Walder Frey was trampled into flesh by a huge ghoul mammoth, the kind that couldn't even be deducted, not even qualified to become a ghoul.

And the Earl of Dread Fort, Ruth Bolton, was a cunning and cunning man. He led the knights of Dread Fort in a big circle, and he didn't rush home at all, so he survived.

The war between humans and the army of the dead is constantly being staged in this land, fighting, ambushing, burning, etc. Humans have used all their strategies to try to stop the White Walkers.

However, the Corps of the Dead did not have any tactics, and only used one move, that is, to keep advancing, simply and rudely, reaching the base camp of the human coalition.

The second line of defense of the human coalition, Winterfell has long been ready.

The soldiers mustered their energy, the knights were brightly armored, and they swore that this time they would crush the White Walkers under Winterfell, protect the safety of the people of the Seven Kingdoms behind them, recover the lost lands, and drive all the damn demons back to the Great Wall. outside.

The seven gods are generally not believed in the north of the neck, but the archbishop who stayed in the old town Fanxing Sanctuary still appointed three archbishops to go to Winterfell, praying for the mercy of the seven gods, so that the Holy Light can come to this heretical land. .

And the people from the north didn't stop them, they just prayed silently that the old gods could hear their prayers.

Now, people from the north are in a desperate situation. No matter which god they are, as long as they can help, they are willing to believe in it.

It is a pity, however, that the Seven Gods may not be willing to come to this land that generally does not believe in the Seven Gods. In the words of the fanatical monks, there are heresies everywhere.

It seems that the old god has really been forgotten by the years, and the desperate prayers of the northerners have not received any response.

Aegon's calendar year 292, August.

More than half of the new year has passed in an instant, and the fiasco of the Great Wall is still fresh in my eyes, but the White Walkers have once again invaded the city.

Soon war broke out.

The human coalition has experienced the last setback, and this time it has burst out with stronger tenacity, stubbornly resisting the attack of the dead army.

At the same time, more kerosene and fire arrows were prepared, in an attempt to defeat these enemies who should have entered the seven hells with flames.

However, ordinary flames were not enough to defeat these terrifying enemies. The Night King took action to extinguish a flame to create an ice road, and countless ghouls who were afraid of flames poured in from here, instantly destroying the coalition front.

After the defeat of the coalition forces, they fled into Winterfell, but the city walls and gates were not enough to stop these dead people for too long. After all, these dead people used their teeth and their bodies to knock open the gate.

The dead lying under the city wall stepped on the corpses of their companions and climbed up the city wall frantically, knocked down the human soldiers, and then jumped into Winterfell.

The night was dark, and the cold wind blew billowing smoke, and the flames burned in Winterfell, illuminating the entire dark sky.

The North Gate and the Shenmu Forest fell one after another.

Followed by the ruined tower, the first fortress and the weapons depot.

"kill!"

Allied soldiers and the Legion of the Dead fought a fierce street battle in Winterfell, fighting to the death.

As a family member of this castle, Lady Stark Catelyn holds her youngest son Brandon and pulls her youngest daughter Arya.

At the same time, with three other children, Robb, Jon, and Sansa, hurriedly boarded the carriage and prepared to flee south.

"King's Landing!"

"Caitlyn, escape to King's Landing with our children!"

"The farther south the better!"

Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, was bathed in blood, holding the Valyrian Great Sword Frost, his palm tightly holding his wife's head on his forehead, and he shouted breathlessly.

And the graceful, noble and tough woman couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.

"No matter what happens, don't come back, keep fleeing south, keep fleeing south."

"If King's Landing falls, flee to Storm's End, and if Storm's End falls, take a boat to Pentos."
