Chapter 384: Carlin Bay Defense Line
In St. Baelor's Cathedral, a thirsty man and woman, under the watchful eyes of the Seven Gods, flirted beside the corpse of the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn.
On the front line of Carlin Bay, which is far away from King's Landing, after two or three months, the figure of the White Walkers once again appeared dimly within the detection range of the patrolling sentinel.
The war between humans and the White Walkers is different from the war between humans and humans.
Toron Stark, the "King of Submission", led the northern army to the south to participate in the siege of the Targaryen invaders, but he came a step late and witnessed the king and the coalition in the south being defeated by the dragon.
Torren Stark knew that he was defeated by the dragon and the Targaryen army, and immediately surrendered at the current location of the 'Stack of the Knees', in exchange for peace and tranquility in the north, the 'Conqueror' did not use any effort. One soldier and one soldier conquered the North, simple and clear.
But the war between humans and the White Walkers is not good. It is a contest between the living and the dead.
Although the White Walkers defeated the Starks and allied forces of the Seven Kingdoms, none of the nobles of the North could surrender to the White Walkers.
Because surrender means death, and no one wants to die, and after death, the corpses will be manipulated into disgusting ghouls, so the Legion of the Dead has to clean up the castles and villages in the north one by one, so it spends a lot of money time.
…
Now the generals of the Seven Kingdoms Allied Forces are gathered here, and the famous commanders of the Seven Kingdoms are gathered here to discuss ways to repel the White Walkers.
After all, this is no longer a family affair.
Some people once thought that this was a matter of the North, but the North was destroyed in a flash. Millions of the North became refugees and fled to the South. If they did not unite everyone, they could only be destroyed by the White Walkers. break.
"Although Kalin Bay is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is very difficult to fight from the north to the south and from the south to the north."
under bright lights.
The slightly bald Duke Tywin was wearing crimson armor, a bright golden lion depicted in gold on his chest, and a huge cloak made of gold thread on his back. His eyes were piercing, and his fingers were pointing on the map.
"If you put all your bets on staying in Carlin Bay, then just like defending the Great Wall and Winterfell before, the final result will be a big defeat."
"It is impossible for humans to hold on to the White Walkers' attack, and it will even increase the number of opponents."
Although it was the first time to face the White Walkers after the war, after learning the specific information, the old lion said bluntly without any mercy.
His words made King Robert, Duke Eddard, Stannis and others look a little ugly, because the original battle plan was made by a few of them, and they faced the White Walkers in a losing streak.
"Your Majesty, and all the adults."
"Since the method of staying dead won't work, then we might as well start from White Harbor and cut off the White Walkers' back path."
The speaker was Edmure Tully, in dark green armour with the family crest with red and blue stripes and silver trout on top.
Edmure also has the iconic long brown-red hair of the Tully family. He looks handsome and dignified. He also has a lot of romantic affairs in the riverlands, which is very popular among young girls.
And the young heir of Riverrun has been taught by the bachelor since childhood, learning war and commanding soldiers, waiting for a good opportunity to show his strength.
This time, Edmure was also sent by his father to join the coalition to protect the safety of the Hejian Land. After all, after the fall of the North, the main battlefield to face the White Walkers was the Hejian Land.
The Duke of Riverrun, Horst Tully, is very old and seems to be in poor health in recent years. He is often bedridden, so he has no way to go to the battlefield in person.
"It's bullshit to say this! You don't even have a long hair! Think you know how to fight after reading two broken books?"
"The White Walkers don't need to eat or sleep, so what's the use of copying them?"
Edmure was involved in war for the first time and had no experience with the White Walkers, a group of terrifying foes that were no ordinary humans.
And King Robert Baratheon, who was sitting in the first place, didn't know why he was irritable, and he didn't give any face to the young heir of Hejian.
Perhaps it was because of too many troubles recently that made him a little restless.
He didn't know that when he was fighting in front of him, his adoptive father, Jon Arryn, had been murdered, and his wife had put a big green hat on him.
And Edmure was scolded mercilessly by the king, his face suddenly a little ugly, he swallowed and seemed to want to say something, but after all, he did not have the courage to stand up.
But at this moment, the Duke of Dragonstone, Stannis, who was sitting beside him, suddenly spoke up.
"It's not impossible to send a team of cavalry from White Harbor to cut off the White Walkers."
Under the bright candlelight, the man with a stubborn face like a stubborn rock had a solemn face and a straight back. Edmure glanced at Stannis gratefully, but he did not receive a response from the other party.
Stannis didn't want to save Edmure, but he did.
"The dead don't ride horses. The mobility of the cavalry is one of the few places where we can maintain an advantage when facing the army of the dead."
Baigang is one of the few areas in the North that has not been captured by the Army of the Dead. Baigang is located at the southern end of the North, at the mouth of the Bairen River, and is the most important trading port in the North.
Because it is backed by the sea, materials and soldiers can be easily transported, and in the face of the enemy on the land, it can attack and retreat and defend. Therefore, a lot of coalition soldiers stationed in Baigang and Kalin Bay form a line of defense.
Stannis proposes sending a troop of cavalry to harass the enemy's rear, attracting the attention of the Legion of the Dead.
Lead the army of the dead to run north as far as possible to reduce the pressure on the Kalim Bay defense line.
But...it's a life-and-death mission.
Stannis's voice fell, and the conference room was silent, and no one spoke.
Then it was Tywin Lannister's emerald green eyes that swept across the map.
Then he raised his head to look at the gloomy-looking son-in-law, tapped the table with his fingers lightly, and after a while, he spoke in a low and powerful voice.
"We need dragons, Your Majesty."
"I heard a saying when I was leading the troops passing by the beauty collection. It seems to be spread by a red-robed witch from Essos. She said that the enemy we are facing in front of us was not prepared for us at all."
"Only a dragon can defeat the Night King."
The words of the guardian of the west made Robert's face a little ugly.
But Tywin's bright eyes did not stop because of this, but continued to ask in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I remember we have appealed to the Targaryen Remnant for help."
"How is the result?"
