Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 273 Corpse Tide
North, Moat Cailin.

blah blah blah!
A soldier from the north had a panicked expression as he climbed up the stone steps of the city gate tower.

A few minutes later, panting, he climbed to the top of the tower and ran to the cage where the raven was locked. He picked up the pen and paper beside him and began to write.

After scribbling the report on the letter, he reached out and grabbed the raven, tied up the letter and put it out.

Puchi, puchi!
The robust raven, which was usually fed with fine grains and has been recharging its energy, was free, and then flapped its wings to fly high into the sky.

call out!
Oh!

An ice crystal javelin shot through the sky with a sharp piercing sound, as if it knew the flight trajectory of the raven in advance, and pierced it precisely.

Finished!

The northern soldiers on the top of the city gate tower saw the raven hanging from the tip of the ice spear falling to the ground, and turned their heads to look north with ashen faces.

Crack, crack!
I saw a large black mass of corpses, rushing towards the three towers of Kalin Bay like a tide.And a closer look reveals their magic.

Such a large army of ghouls precisely avoided the swamps and dark depressions near Kalin Bay, and marched methodically along the dry ground that could be walked on.

The northern soldier saw that the army of ghouls was rapidly approaching the bottom of the tower, and the time left for his side to escape was getting tighter and tighter. He immediately turned around and ran down the tower.

Clap, Clap!
In the middle of the stairs of the city gate tower, several northern soldiers stationed there were using sharp axes to chop the wooden planks that blocked the hole in the tower.

The extremely strong planks made by the maintenance team to repair the tower on this floor made their teeth itch with hatred at this moment.

"How is it? Has the raven been released?"

Seeing the northern soldier coming down, the captain of this group of northern soldiers asked.

"It was released, but was immediately shot down by an ice javelin.

No wonder the hosts of the dead are coming to Moat Cailin, we haven't heard a word yet.

It seems that the news of the garrison teams from Houguan Town to Winterfell City was blocked in the same way! "

Hearing the captain's question, the soldier who came down from the top of the tower immediately shook his head and answered.

"Damn it, it's up to us to pass the news out.

Hurry up, Mad, why did the maintenance team make this so strong before? "

Under the urging of the captain, several northern soldiers swung their axes vigorously.After a few minutes, the plank was finally cut down to a size large enough for a human to pass through.

After throwing down the rope that had already been fixed in the tower, this group of northern soldiers came to the causeway on the other side of the tower through the rope one by one.

"Come on!"

After the captain confirmed that everyone had successfully escaped to the causeway, he immediately ran towards the south of the Neck, shouting loudly.

Whoa!
Suddenly, the rotting swamp around the causeway made ripples, as if countless monsters were about to burst out of the water.

pat!

A lizard lion skeleton resembling a crocodile crawled out of the black water of the rotting swamp and climbed up the causeway, heading towards this group of northern soldiers aggressively.

call out!
Whoa!

The captain quickly drew his bow and fired the obsidian-tipped arrow, turning the slithering lizard skeleton into a real pile of bones.

But the crisis was not resolved at all. In this short period of time, the causeway ahead was covered with human and animal skeletons who died in the rotting swamp for an unknown number of years.

"Huh! Brothers, we can't go anymore.

For the sake of the relatives and friends in the north who moved south, try to kill more ghouls with dragon crystal weapons! "

Looking at the astonishing number of various ghouls on the causeway ahead, the captain let out a heavy breath, and said calmly to his brothers.

In fact, this group of northern soldiers knew that their way of life was dead when they saw the situation ahead.

They were either full of tears or full of regret.But in the end, they all uttered a loud cry, picked up the obsidian weapons in their hands and launched a final charge forward.

kill!
……

The land between the rivers, on the north bank of the Twin River City.

Marquis Rosso Frey, who was short and fat, with a pointed beard and shoulder-length black curly hair, was limping along with the two people in front of him to inspect the fortifications.

Even though they walked fast regardless of their naturally disabled legs, Marquis Rosso could only follow along with an apologetic smile on his face.

Because the surnames of the two people in front are Tuli!
He is not only his own lord, but also the uncle and uncle of the terrible Robb.How dare Marquis Rosso have the slightest complaint.

"Well, the three fortifications have indeed been built according to His Majesty's wishes.

Well done, Marquis Rosso!I will report the truth to His Majesty later, you wait for his reward! "

Standing on the newly built fortifications on King's Road, Edmure turned his head and praised Marquis Rosso.

Duke Hoster died in Riverrun more than a month ago.Robb and members of House Stark all go to Riverrun for the funeral.

After the funeral, under the witness of Robb, Edmure inherited the title of Duke and became the guardian of the riverland.

With Brandon's assistance, the new Duke Edmure not only quickly subdued the nobles of the riverland, but also handled the government affairs of the riverland with ease.

It has to be said that after experiencing the previous rounds of war, although Edmure lost his fingers, his whole person has become more stable, and now he can be regarded as a competent guardian of the area.

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your compliment, but I dare not take credit for it, because all these credits should belong to you!"

Having been the key to Marquis Ward for 12 years, the flexible and talking Marquis Rosso bowed directly to Edmure.

"Marquis Rosso is commendable for his loyalty, but you also know the language of our Tully family.

I will not do such an act that damages the honor of the family! "

In the past, even if Marquis Rosso didn't say anything, Edmure would take the credit for it.But for him now, the pattern has been opened.

"Your Excellency the Duke values ​​honor and has a noble character. He is really an example for all of us to learn from!"

"Please allow me to interrupt you!"

Just as Marquis Rosso continued to compliment Edmure, Brynden, who was watching something, waved his left arm that disappeared from the elbow, and interrupted them, saying,

"We inspected the first line of defense from the city of the Twin Rivers. For such a long time, we haven't seen a single patrolling cavalry.

Marquis Rosso, it seems that you have not fulfilled His Majesty's order! "

"Lord Brynden, you have wronged me!

I attach great importance to His Majesty's orders, and specially dispatched five squadrons of House Frey's cavalry to set off at intervals of two hours every day, patrolling back and forth from River Twins to Greywater Watch.

I didn't see them today, maybe our inspection time just happened to be staggered with them! "

When Marquis Rosso heard the words, he immediately explained with an injustice on his face.

"Five teams of patrolling cavalry? That is based on the distance and interval between them. We should be able to see at least one team of cavalry during this time.

unless……"

Hearing that Marquis Rosso had actually dispatched five teams of cavalry patrols, Brynden frowned and began to judge the situation in the worst possible way.

"Hehe, Lord Brynden don't need to worry so much!
There are camps all the way from Houguan Town to Carlin Bay. If there is any situation in the north, ravens have already flown to Twin River City to report.

It has been safe and sound for more than two months, and I believe that the patrol cavalry will return soon. "

Seeing Brynden's nervous face, Marquis Rosso smiled lightly and comforted him.

After all, according to the soldiers' previous combat experience with the army of ghouls, they have absolutely no desire to attack the ravens in the air.

"You can't have such thoughts, Marquis Rosso, please continue to send patrol cavalry to investigate the situation.

It would be best if I really think too much, but if..."

Upon hearing this, Brynden shook his head and rejected Marquis Rosso's statement, and continued to insist on his own opinion.

"Uncle is right!

Your Majesty has repeatedly emphasized the horror of the army of the dead. We must not slack off in the slightest, but we are just sending more scouting cavalry... that's all. "

As soon as Brynden finished speaking, Edmure nodded in agreement with him.It's just that when he got to the end, he paused because he saw the snowflakes falling to the tip of his nose.

"It's snowing? The patrol cavalry didn't come back... No, let someone sound the alarm!"

Of course, Brynden also saw the snowflakes falling from the sky. He rolled his eyes left and right, and immediately turned his head and shouted orders to the guards around him.

clang, clang, clang!
The rapid alarm bells sounded, and tens of thousands of figures came from the wide south bank full of camps to the north bank through the Twin Rivers Bridge.

They followed the steps that had been practiced dozens of times, put on their armor in an orderly manner, took their obsidian weapons, arrived at the area defended by their team, and waited quietly.

The first line of defense where Edmure and others were located was built on the King's Road on the north bank of the Green Fork River.

Various trebuchets and bed crossbows are erected on the top of the newly built stone city wall with a height of five meters.The wall is covered with various killing holes, and there are flat gaps more than two meters wide at the bottom of the city wall. I don't know what their purpose is.

The number of defenders that can be accommodated by the first line of defense is about [-], and it is now at full strength.Everyone is waiting with bated breath for the arrival of the army of the dead.

The snowflakes constantly falling from the sky became denser and denser, and the original light snow gradually turned into a goose feather snow that was enough to block the vision.

Da da da!
There was a faint sound of horseshoes, and a group of cavalry slowly approached the wall of the defense line against the heavy snow.

"It's our Frey family cavalry, huh, I'll just say it's just a matter of time!"

When he could clearly see the Frey family dressed in black and wearing a hood, Marquis Rosso heaved a sigh of relief and said to Edmure and Brynden.

"Not right!"

Seeing the unusual speed of those horses and cavalry, Brynden stopped Marquis Rosso who wanted to continue speaking.

As Brynden said, the Frey family cavalry got faster and faster as they got closer to the line of defense.

Hiss!

When Brynden and the others on the wall of the defense line could see clearly, the cavalry covered in blood and scars let out beast roars at the living people above.

Behind them, countless corpses rushed towards the defense line from the heavy snow that blocked their vision.

"It's an army of dead men! Order, everyone will attack according to the previous drill."

When he really saw the army of ghouls, Marquis Rosso, who was still timid just now, suddenly turned aside, and gave orders to the messengers behind him with his head held high.

Huh, huh, huh!
When the order to attack was issued, thousands of obsidian arrows shot into the sky, drew a perfect parabola and fell like raindrops among the ghoul army.

Covering attacks like this that reach a certain amount are really effective.A large piece of the tide-like army of ghouls suddenly fell down, which was very obvious.

However, in the blink of an eye, the ghouls behind covered the area again.

After three rounds of arrow rain attacks, the army of ghouls was about to approach the defense line.

prick!
Following the order of the commander who observed the ghoul approaching through the killing hole under the city wall, countless obsidian spears stabbed out from the killing hole.

At this moment, the defense wall turned into a hedgehog covered in spikes, making it difficult for the enemy to attack.

Whoa!
Numerous corpses close to the city wall of the defense line were stabbed into real corpses by forests of obsidian spears, and fell under the city wall.

As the obsidian spears were all withdrawn, a large number of ghouls approached the defensive wall again, and were then dealt with by the obsidian spears that pierced out again.

Facing the seemingly endless army of ghouls, the defenders under the city wall began to repeat this process over and over again.

In fact, the garrison gate behind the city wall does not need to retract the obsidian spear, and I believe that countless ghouls will automatically bump into the spear.

However, these ghoul armies will use weapons, and it may not be long before these obsidian spears will be destroyed.

In front of the well-prepared defense line of Twin River City, the army of ghouls doesn't look too scary.In less than half a day, at least more than [-] ghouls turned into skeletons and piled up under the defense wall.

As the bones piled up higher and higher, they were almost level with the top of the defense wall.This death-death tactic of the ghoul army made many veterans feel a little familiar.

Boom, boom, boom!
There was a sound of huge footsteps, and three huge mammoth ghouls rushed towards the city wall of the defense line, stepping on the slope paved with bones like a heavy chariot.

Facing the old tactics used by the army of ghouls, how could the defenders not consider how to deal with them.

The sickle blades that had appeared in Houguan town protruded from the two-meter-long flat gap under the city wall of the defense line, but this time they were not obsidian sickle blades, but steel sickle blades.

Chi Chi Chi!
Those ghouls used as cannon fodder were originally corpses that had been dead for an unknown number of years.

Driven by the power of the sickle blades behind the city wall, these sickle blades, which began to rotate at high speed, cut continuously. These piled up under the city wall were not considered solid bones.

Clap, Clap!
The slope paved with bones collapsed immediately, and the three huge mammoth ghouls also fell among the bones.

Zizi!

After completing the task, the steel sickle blade was retracted, and bamboo tubes as thick as wrists protruded from the gap, spraying a large amount of green liquid at the accumulated bones.

After all the bamboo tubes were retracted, all the killing holes on the defensive city wall were tightly blocked by matching stones.

The entire defense line of the city wall suddenly changed from the previous fighting state to a defensive state like an iron wall.

Hey!
A flaming torch fell from the top of the defensive wall, using the corpses piled up under the wall as fuel, a green flame that could burn most substances rose up.

It seems to understand that it is temporarily impossible to break through the emerald green flames. The army of ghouls is like a tide, coming in quickly when the tide is high, and disappearing quickly when the tide is low.
