Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 274 Lost
"Hey, just ran away in despair? The army of the dead is nothing more than that!

Hmph, the defense line of the Twin River City will be like the Great Wall of Desperation, keeping them out firmly! "

On the wall of the defense line, Marquis Rosso looked at the army of ghouls that disappeared in the snow, and said with a disdainful smile.

"Marquis Rosso, don't let your guard down too much. According to the information provided by His Majesty, there is a high possibility that there are magical children of the forest and very special ghosts hidden in the army of the dead.

However, these dragon crystal weapons provided by His Majesty are really powerful, and they can be turned into corpses with just one blow. "

Edmure immediately reminded Marquis Rosso when he heard the words, but he didn't pay too much attention to the army of ghouls in his words.

Indeed, with a special line of defense and a sufficient number of obsidian weapons, they killed at least thousands of ghouls without being injured in this wave of attack.

If this is a war in the Seven Kingdoms, with such a battle loss ratio, it will be a great battle achievement!

"Hiss, something is still very wrong! I read the information, and the army of ghouls only retreated once in Houguan Town.

And that time, it was because of the failure of the ambush set up by the White Walkers and the Children of the Forest against His Majesty that they hurriedly retreated to the vicinity of the Great Wall.

This time they obviously blocked the news of a large-scale southward movement, how could they retreat so easily?

Lord Duke, Marquis Rosso, we must pay attention to them.If the painstakingly built defense line of the Twin River City falls, it will be a disaster for the entire Seven Kingdoms! "

Sure enough, Brynden was still the same. After Edmure finished speaking, he expressed his cautiousness again in a mature and prudent manner.

"Uncle, I understand! Marquis Rosso, what happened to the Raven letter to King's Landing?"

Edmure no longer refused to listen to advice as before. He nodded and turned to ask Marquis Rosso.

"After confirming that it was the army of the dead attacking, I asked the attendant to inform the bachelor to release all the ravens.

If there is no accident, according to the usual time estimate, it will take at most two days to arrive at King's Landing City. "

Hearing Edmure's inquiry, Marquis Rosso immediately replied respectfully.

"Very well. I heard that the army of the dead does not know how to tire, but we cannot.

Now there is no need for everyone to stick to their posts, and rest in batches first, Marquis Rosso, you will arrange this matter. "

"As ordered!"

Seeing Edmure's preliminary demeanor of a superior, Brynden nodded secretly.

Under the arrangement of Marquis Rosso, who was familiar with the troops stationed in the Twin Rivers City, most of the soldiers returned to the wide south bank camp to rest through the Twins River City Bridge.

However, Edmure and Brynden didn't intend to go back to rest, they had been sticking to the first line of defense wall on the north bank.

Marquis Rosso was with the two of them at the beginning, but there were indeed many matters in the Twin River City that he had to deal with personally, so he had to plead guilty and leave in the end.

The emerald green flames under the city wall of the defense line stopped in the evening, leaving only a piece of burnt ashes outside the city wall.

But as the goose feather snow continued to fall, the entire vicinity of Twin River City became a world covered in white.

Edmure and Brynden had dinner on the wall of the defense line, eating the same food with the defenders. This behavior won everyone's approval and praise.

However, after midnight, even a raging bonfire on the city wall could not stop the biting cold wind at night.

Edmure, who couldn't bear it anymore, and Brynden, whose physical fitness had declined significantly after breaking his arm, hid in the tent behind the city wall to rest.

I don't know if it is because of the cover of the clouds of falling snow, the night is extremely dark today.

Except for the place where the bonfire was shining, the defenders on the wall of the defense line were completely blinded.

Learn about Soso!

There are countless black shadows moving in the darkness, constantly approaching the defensive wall.

shhhhhh!
The defenders on the wall of the defense line seemed to have heard the noise in the shadows, and a few specially-made rockets suddenly pierced the pitch-black night, illuminating several areas under the wall of the defense line in a small area.

I saw rows of densely packed corpses slowly moving forward, and they seemed to have received some kind of order.Suddenly, he started running wildly, heading straight for the defense wall not far away.

clang, clang, clang!
Rapid alarm bells rang across the north and south banks of Twin River City, and the constant rhythm told the urgency of the situation.

Edmure and Brynden were naturally the first to get out of the tent, surrounded by thousands of guards who were about to be on duty in the second half of the night.

"Everyone go to the city wall to support!"

After hearing the shout of killing on the wall of the defense line, Edmure immediately raised his arms and shouted to the surrounding guards.

Whoa, whoa!
As soon as he finished speaking, the snow-covered ground around the camp began to bulge.Afterwards, pale white bone palms broke through the ground.

"Edmure, you go to the city wall to command the soldiers to fight. I am here!"

Knowing that it was impossible to ignore the corpses crawling out of the defense line, Brynden turned his head and said something to Edmure, then immediately shouted at the guards around him,

"Those who are near the Lord Duke will follow him to the city wall, and those who are near me, join me in reburying these bones in the soil!"

"Yes!"

The guards around the camp replied and immediately divided into two parts.Some followed Edmure to support the defense wall, and some followed Brynden and began to attack the many skeletons that emerged.

These bones that only crawled out of the upper part of the body are like the whack-a-mole game consoles in the previous life, allowing Brynden's troops to harvest them at will.

In fact, in the defense system written by Robb himself, there is the item of moving corpses to burials.

The always obedient Marquis Rosso took the risk of moving all the ancestors of the Frey family, as well as the corpses of the previous rounds of battles.

But in the tens of thousands of years of history in Westeros, how could the bones sleeping in this area be cleaned up so easily!
Therefore, after the bones that have been sleeping for an unknown number of years in the depths of this area are all awakened, countless human and animal bones are continuously drilling from the ground to the ground.

Not only the area behind the first line of defense, but also the second line of defense, and the camp area on the south bank all had various skeletons continuously drilled out.

This directly caused the guards who came to support the first line of defense to be blocked, and had to deal with the bones in their respective areas first.

If Robb, who had always wanted to execute the decapitation operation, was here, he would surely have imagined that such a large-scale awakening of the bones would only be possible if the Night King came to the Twin Rivers City in person.

However, if Robb really sits here in person, with the vision of the Three-Eyed Raven, the Night King will not visit the Twins in person.

"Dragon crystal arrows are not enough, hurry up and bring some up!"

"Our obsidian sickle blade has been damaged, please replace it!"

"The sickle blade is too heavy, the two of us can't move it, come quickly!"

"Damn it, the corpses on our side are about to climb up, come help!"

Due to the serious shortage of manpower compared to the daytime, the walls of the defense line required the delivery of supplies, and the voices of requests for support kept coming and going.

At this moment, Edmure led nearly [-] new troops into the battle, slightly alleviating the shortage of manpower on the lower line of defense.

The defensive methods on this side of the defense line wall are the same as during the day, but the steel sickle blade in the gap below the city wall has been replaced with an obsidian sickle blade.

However, due to the poor vision at night, there are fewer people.The speed at which the guards killed the ghouls was not as fast as it was during the day.

Moreover, whether it was the obsidian spear or the obsidian sickle blades poked out of the killing hole, they were all destroyed by the ghouls with weapons in a very short period of time.

Boom, boom, boom!
While Edmure was anxiously thinking about how to resolve this deadlocked situation, there were dull sounds in the night outside the city wall.

Since they couldn't see anything in the night at all, this unknown sound was like a big stone, weighing heavily on the hearts of the city wall defenders.

"Throw fireflies!"

Those unknown noises weighed heavily on Edmure's heart. In desperation, he had no choice but to issue an order and take out some new methods with a small number.

At the catapult on the city wall, two guards carefully loaded a special wooden barrel onto the catapult.Before the catapult was fired, they destroyed a fruit pattern inlaid on the surface of the barrel.

Hu, Hu, Hu!
Bang, bang!
More than a dozen specially-made wooden barrels flew obliquely into the dark night sky, and the explosive fruit inlaid on the surface of the wooden barrels exploded with a delay. When the wooden barrels exploded, the wildfire inside was ignited.

Huh, huh, huh!
Countless firefly-like green sparks suddenly appeared in the night in front of the city wall of the defense line, and then these green fireflies quickly fell into the army of ghouls, igniting thousands of ghouls.

With the illumination of these ghoul torches, the pitch-black night in front of the defensive walls was forcibly dispersed.

That is……

With the hard-won light, Edmure saw the source of the unknown noise at a glance.They turned out to be three giant ghouls who were only a little shorter than the walls of the defense line!

After walking a certain distance from the city wall of the defense line, the three giant ghouls stopped.Then they grabbed a special ghoul from their side and threw it forward.

Hum, huh!
Two of the three special ghouls were thrown on the wall of the defense line, and the other was thrown into the camp behind the wall.

The two ghouls that fell on the city wall fell to pieces when they hit the ground of the city wall.At the same time, round fruits slowly rolled out from their shattered bodies.

"It's an explosive fruit, run away!"

A guard who had just loaded the catapult with a special wooden barrel called a firefly yelled in shock when he saw the familiar fruit.

But it's too late!

From the palm of the ghoul that fell to pieces, an explosive fruit whose surface texture was destroyed fell out.

Bang bang bang!
Three orange-red flames rose from two places on the city wall and one in the rear camp, causing a series of explosions.

The successive explosions on the wall of the defense line directly blasted two huge gaps in the newly built city wall.

Edmure was very lucky to be in the middle of the two explosion fruits, and was not affected by the explosion.

The captain of the guards around him looked around and said to him: "My lord, the two gaps in this city wall are too big to be filled.

It shouldn't be long before they will be attacked by the army of the dead.

Let's retreat to the second city wall! "

"Well, I know it's over. But there's one more thing to do before we leave.

Otherwise, even retreating to the second city wall is nothing more than repeating what happened now! "

Looking at the three giant ghouls in front of him, Edmure's eyes shone with burning fighting intent.After he finished speaking to the captain of the personal guard, he turned around and walked towards the remaining bed crossbow on the city wall.

"Attention everyone, we have only one goal now, and that is to get rid of those three giant corpses.

Otherwise, the defense line of the Twin River City will completely collapse.The relatives and friends we guard behind will face the threat of the army of the dead! "

As soon as he walked to the place where the bed crossbow was placed on the city wall, Edmure waved his left hand missing three fingers, pointed at the three giant ghouls illuminated by the fire and said loudly.

"Yes!"

Edmure's words seemed to ignite the fighting spirit of the defenders in charge of the bed crossbow. They quickly adjusted the angle of the bed crossbow and loaded the spear crossbow with obsidian arrows.

Boom, boom, boom!
After a round of bed crossbow shots, the three giant ghouls stood intact in the distance, and continued to throw self-explosive ghouls towards the defense wall.

Bang bang bang!
Continuous explosions sounded above the defensive wall, directly blowing the city wall beyond recognition, with gaps everywhere, and it didn't look like it was newly built at all.

"Hey, what are you looking at! Get your spirits up! Keep shooting!

I am here with you! "

Edmure got up from the ground to pat the body stumps that fell on him, and shouted loudly at the guards who were looking at a bed crossbow beside him that was unfortunately shattered by the explosion fruit.

Boom, boom, boom!
Seeing that Duke Edmure was sitting here in person, the guards regained their composure, adjusted the bed crossbow based on the last shooting position, and then aimed and fired.

Bang, bang!
The accuracy of the bed crossbow shooting this time was very high, and the obsidian spear crossbow arrows pierced through two giant ghouls.Their huge corpses fell directly to the ground heavily.

Edmure's location immediately attracted the attention of the other ghosts hidden in the ghoul army, and finally the giant ghoul took a stance, ready to throw the self-explosive ghoul in their direction.

"Run away!"

Seeing the posture of the giant ghoul, knowing that it was too late to reload the obsidian crossbow bolts, Edmure roared and ran towards the steps of the city wall.

Bang bang bang!
The air waves generated by a series of explosions behind him directly overturned Edmure, who had just fled to the steps of the city wall, and rolled directly down the steps.

Edmure, who was so blinded by the fall, stood up with the support of his personal guards, and then hurriedly walked through the camp area where the fierce battle was taking place, and headed towards the second line of defense.

"Look for my uncle and retreat with him!"

Even though Edmure was dizzy, he still remembered Brynden fighting in the camp area.He opened his mouth and ordered to the guard who supported him.

These personal guards followed Edmure closely before, so they knew the approximate location of Brynden.They detoured around the camp area for a while, and then came to the area separated from Brynden before.

After some searching, Edmure and the others found Brynden, whose legs had disappeared and was lying on the ground covered in scars in a deep pit area after the explosion.

Brynden was not as lucky as Edmure. In the first wave of self-explosive ghoul attacks thrown by giant ghouls, he was blown off by the explosive fruit that fell beside him, and his hands were seriously injured.

"Uncle, uncle! Wake up!
I'm Edmure, and I'll take you back to the Twins to find the maester! "

Seemingly hearing Edmure's urgent call, Brynden, who still had a breath, opened his eyes, and said to him like a flash of light:
"Ay, Edmure. Back to the Twins.

No, don't be brave!Wait, wait for Your Majesty to come down.You are the last man in the Tully family! "

"Well, I see! Uncle...uncle!"

After Brynden finished speaking, before Edmure nodded to answer, he let out his last breath and closed his eyes forever.

Because of the critical situation at this moment, no matter how sad Edmure was, he could not delay any longer.

He stabbed an obsidian dagger into Brynden's body, and then retreated to the second wall of defense on the north bank with a strong bodyguard on his back.

After eliminating the skeletons in the area, a large number of guards stationed on the second line of defense wall took the initiative to meet the people who retreated from the first line of defense wall.

In the end, Edmure and others successfully retreated into the second line of defense.But the army of ghouls also successfully took down the first line of defense wall, and continued to move towards the second line of defense wall!
