Chapter 386 Unbelievable News
"kill!"
The earth-shattering screams of killing gradually faded away, the flames soared into the sky, and thick gunpowder smoke wafted in this magnificent port city standing at the mouth of the Bairen River.
"Darkness will not last long, light will come!"
"I hope future generations can remember our name!"
Accompanied by a tragic and loud roar.
thump--
thump--
With tears in his eyes, a coalition soldier dressed in tattered and tattered family armor shouted his name to the sea, hoping that the sea could remember it, and then jumped into the icy water and went calmly. die.
As another stronghold of the coalition defense line, White Harbor was the first to encounter a fierce attack by the White Walkers.
The coalition forces and the Mandalay family soldiers stationed in White Harbor did not give in, but rose up to resist the attack of the Army of the Dead.
But in the end, he was helpless and tried his best, but he couldn't resist the surging army of dead people.
The coalition soldiers persisted for a few days without waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, and Baigang finally fell.
Due to the insufficient number of warships and the limited carrying capacity, a large number of coalition soldiers chose to fight against the water, and were finally forced to jump into the sea.
They would rather drown in icy waters than turn into ghouls and continue to harm their compatriots.
This poignant and poignant tale is only a small microcosm of humanity's stubborn resistance to the White Walkers, which has since been widely celebrated by bards.
However, the fall of White Harbor is not the end of the world, and mankind still has hope in the third line of defense.
a few days later.
On the eve of the fall of White Harbor, the old Earl of Wyman Mandalay, who escaped by boat from White Harbor, finally led the defeated soldiers to the front line of Carlin Bay, and his family had been sent to King's Landing.
He brought incredible news.
'Lord Eel', the old Earl of Mandalay, claimed to have met the former monarch, Rickard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, the last guardian of the North, and his eldest son, Brandon Stark, on the battlefield of White Harbor. Tucker.
"They have transformed into White Walkers, with ice-blue flames burning in their eyes, and Lord Rickard seems to still be wearing the same armor he wore when he was scorched alive by the Mad King, but it has been wrapped in a layer of ice. ."
"Brandon was the first to board the city of White Harbor. No one could stop him, and he also killed my eldest son Willis with one sword."
On the battlefield of White Harbor, the soldiers resisted stubbornly, blocking the Legion of the Dead for three days, and then the White Walkers sitting behind them shot, and the resistance of the coalition soldiers also vanished.
The fierce street fighting lasted for several days. In the end, before the arrival of reinforcements from the Kalin Bay base camp, the coalition forces stationed in Baigang were all annihilated except for those who escaped on the warships.
The news brought by 'Master Eel' is very shocking, but not many people believe it, especially Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, who has been hit by successive blows and is middle-aged but has gray hair. Got a lot older overnight.
He didn't want to believe that his father and brother had turned into White Walkers.
But the old Earl of Mandalay was an old minister of his father's time, and he was very old, and he was friendly and good friends. No one believed that the old Earl of Mandalay would maliciously satirize the Stark family.
Ed only thought that the old man was confused, and maybe he was frightened by the situation at the time and saw some visions. After all, he heard from the guards that the old man was almost killed by the White Walkers at that time, and he witnessed the death of his eldest son, Willis. After a great blow, it was forcibly framed by the guards.
But whether the two White Walkers were Rickard Stark and Brandon Stark at the time, the guards who witnessed it could not tell, because they had not seen these two adults, so this matter also It's over.
However, it did not take long for the news of the fall of Baigang to come back.
Frontline of Carlin Bay.
The army of the dead has finally arrived, and they have swept away all obstacles in the north, except that they will finally bring death and cold through the neck to the whole of Westeros and the world.
Carlin Bay was built by the ancestors as early as 10,000 years ago. At that time, Carlin Bay was still a majestic and huge fortress with twenty towers and a basalt city wall as high as Winterfell.
It used to be the key to defending the North, defusing countless attacks by the Andals.
Today, however, most of the tall city walls have disappeared, and the wooden towers have decayed thousands of years ago, leaving only three towers on the left.
However, after the coalition forces retreated to Carlin Bay, they gathered all their strengths and rebuilt this abandoned ancient castle just like repairing the Great Wall of Despair at that time.
Twenty towers stand on the rungs of the newly built tall city wall in front of the neck, and on the King's Road in the distance, the endless silhouette of the army of the dead gradually emerges.
The crowd was crowded with black people, and the end of it could not be seen at a glance. The throats of the Seven-Nation Allied Forces on the city wall rolled in unison. Although many of them were survivors of one or two wars, they still felt their scalps numb. .
Among the coalition forces, there are more recruits who have not seen the White Walkers. They are all newly dispatched southern soldiers to support Carlin Bay, and many are even strong men who have just been captured.
During the Great Escape from the North, millions of people crossed the neck and fled to the South, and when these people came to the South, they were also homeless and had no livelihood. The able-bodied even started raiding villages and towns to bring back some food to feed their families.
And the nobles in the Hejian Land have a lot of headaches, because these refugees are mainly concentrated in their territory, they can only pay for food to feed them, otherwise it will cause even more trouble.
During the Great Escape, the ruling class of the feudal dynasty only wanted to encourage the people to flee to the south. Their intentions were probably good, they didn't want the people to die at the hands of the White Walkers, and they didn't want to give blood to the White Walkers.
Otherwise, millions of dead legions will flock to the south after the North is completely occupied, and even the Seven Gods will not be able to stop it.
However, they only encouraged the people to flee, but they did not think about how to arrange these people. The weakness of grassroots governance capacity was exposed, causing the current chaotic situation.
But fortunately, at the time of hiring people, King Robert has a rough way to govern the country.
With a wave of his hand, he first continued to borrow money from the Iron Vault, asking for food from the Golden Dragon, but now that Westeros is completely reduced to the ghost Braavos, he may not be able to escape.
Then a large amount of money was thrown into the army to recruit a large number of people from the north into the army. These people didn't need to pay the army, they only needed to give a bite to eat.
At this time, the number of coalition forces has expanded sharply to more than 100,000 people. However, the follow-up problem is that the armor and weapons are insufficient, but there is no way to do this.
The number of coalition forces reached an unprecedented number, united against the White Walkers.
