The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 225: Pale Knight's Raid

In the north, there is the Great Wall.

Ever since the barbarians attacked the pass, the originally "peaceful" Great Wall has never had a moment of peace, and the continuous war has swept across the towering Great Wall.

Even when the Wildlings, the traditional enemies of the Night's Watch for thousands of years, crossed the Wall and headed south under the orders of the Eastern Lord, the war did not stop because something even more terrifying, the legendary White Walkers, appeared.

Before this, it was they who drove the wildlings south, and all the wildlings who did not go south died in the north and became part of the White Walkers' army of the dead.

Now, the area north of the Wall has become a veritable forbidden land for the living. Apart from the White Walkers and their wight puppets, there are no other living creatures.

Faced with this legendary terror, the Night's Watch were on high alert, but for some reason, the White Walkers' attack, which was supposed to happen next, did not happen.

But even so, the Night's Watch did not relax, but seized the opportunity to prepare for defense. Everyone knows that the White Walkers would not appear again just to scare humans, they must break through the barrier, and the current calm is probably only because the White Walkers are preparing weapons that can break through.

Looking at the haunted forest in the distance, Jon Snow had mixed emotions, not only because the White Walkers and their puppets could pop out from there at any time, but also because of everything that had happened in Westeros.

Beside him, the legion's affairs officer and southern servants were cutting down the forest under the Great Wall, which was what the Night's Watch had been doing for some time.

When the Great Wall was first built, there was a vast open space between the Great Wall and the forest. Enemies who wanted to invade the Great Wall had nowhere to hide and could only be attacked by the firepower of the Great Wall defenders.

However, as the Night's Watch declined, the legion was unable to cut down the ever-expanding forests, so in many places, the forests grew under the Great Wall and even became a shortcut for wild raiders to cross the wall.

As the Legion has more manpower, these tasks are being resumed. However, the Legion regards this as a long-term task and therefore has not sped up the process too much.

But now, with the arrival of the White Walker army, the Night's Watch must seize every moment to cut down the forest and prepare for the possible brutal siege.

As the commander-in-chief's officer, Jon Snow naturally did not have to do such heavy work. In fact, he was only sent to supervise and lead a guard team.

So, Lord Snow had time to think and feel melancholy here.

The reason for his melancholy was simple, that was that the Stark family almost completely lost the war in the south and was facing challenges from the Boltons. The only thing he was thankful for was that at least no Stark he knew had died, and even his father, who had been missing for a long time, had recently been reported to have returned.

Jon really wants to put aside his responsibilities at the Wall and stand under Winterfell to face Bolton's challenge, but he is a sworn member of the Night's Watch and he cannot leave his post - besides, his father has returned.

Moreover, the enemy he is facing now is the existence that has existed for who knows how long in human legends. If they break through the Great Wall, the continent of Westeros and even the entire world will be threatened.

The above thoughts have echoed in Jon's mind several times. He understands the truth, but when he thinks that he cannot stand with his family - even though some people think he is not their family - in the crisis of Winterfell, Jon feels heartbroken and betrayed.

Exhaling slowly, Jon touched Ghost's head. At times like this, only Ghost could soothe his wounded heart. Looking at those red eyes, Jon didn't feel so worried.

"Little Wolf? What's wrong?"

Suddenly, Ghost stood up abruptly, growling threateningly at the forest, and Jon immediately realized what was happening. Ghost's posture undoubtedly meant that an enemy had appeared, and it was obvious what the enemy that appeared at this time was.

Jon would not doubt Ghost's sense of smell. Since he had the little wolf, Ghost's reaction had saved him countless times, so when Ghost reacted this way, Jon believed his little wolf without reservation.

"Gather everyone! The White Walkers might be coming!"

In response to Jon's shouting, most people looked at him in confusion. They had no idea what this guy was doing. He clearly didn't see any enemy, but he was shouting there.

However, there were still people who obeyed Jon's orders. After all, Jon was the leader of their group, especially Jon's new recruits, who played an important role in it.

Gradually, although no one knew what the bastard was doing, people still gathered together little by little. Faced with this scene, Jon became more and more anxious. Ghost looked nervous, and his level of nervousness was even rising, which undoubtedly meant that the enemy was getting closer and closer to them.

But even so, there were still people who simply ignored Jon's anxious expression and stood there fearlessly. Some even carried their axes and went back to read, completely ignoring Jon's words.

Jon was too lazy to pay attention to these people. He just prepared his bow and arrow to shoot the enemies that might appear at any time.

And then, these people paid the price for their actions.

Because in the next moment, dead hands suddenly stretched out from the snow piles around them, grabbing everything around them, and someone was immediately unlucky enough to be grabbed, and then watched in horror as the zombies pounced on them.

At the same time, staggering wights walked out of the forest, but this was not the scary thing. What was scary was that the White Walkers also appeared. These pale knights rode on huge ice spiders, and then they began a ruthless massacre.

At the same time, Jon fired an arrow, a dragon crystal arrow, at the first White Walker that rushed out, but the arrow was cut off by the White Walker's ice blade. "Run! Run!"

Seeing this, Jon stopped shooting arrows and just ran towards the city gate on the Wall. Seeing this scene, no one paid any attention to his words and everyone followed him and ran.

As for those who had ignored him before, they were now paying the price for their thoughts, because they were too close to the White Walkers and the Wights, especially those White Walkers riding on ice spiders. The Pale Knight directly started slaughtering them, and the dead had to stagger to their feet not long after falling down.

The appearance of the ice spiders this time was beyond everyone's imagination. In fact, all along, the White Walkers had rarely launched direct attacks. Most of the time, they were surrounded by mindless wights, using their numbers to overwhelm the enemies in front of them. So today's incident was not because the Night's Watch was unprepared, but was caused by the first encounter.

Jon and his group ran all the way. The unlucky guys who fell behind served as human shields for them, giving them time to run away. Finally, they were getting closer and closer to the city gate. After everyone crossed a trench, Jon made sure that there were no living people behind them, so he threw torches into the trench.

All of a sudden, a blazing line of fire appeared behind the human. This was a method devised by the Night's Watch to stop the wights. Once that thing touched the flame, it would immediately turn into a burning torch, so it could completely stop them from moving forward.

As the wall of fire burned, everyone including Jon finally felt relieved, but they kept moving. This time, there were not only brainless corpses chasing after them, but also real White Walkers. God knows whether this fire will be useful against the White Walkers.

As if in response to their thoughts, an ice blade flew over from a distance and hit a Night Watch officer. As the officer was nailed to the ground, the ice blade exploded violently, and the flying debris scratched several people nearby.

This was just the beginning. More ice blades flew over from afar and landed in the ranks of the men in black. To make matters worse, those who were killed by the ice blades would soon transform into zombies and attack their former companions.

"Keep running! Don't stop!"

Jon roared after cutting a wight into pieces with his Valyrian steel sword. Now all they could do was run. If the enemy were wights, they could fight and retreat, but now they were the White Walkers, and all Jon could do was run away with his men.

It seemed that because the fire line was ignited, the people on the Great Wall also noticed the situation on their side. Jon looked up and saw rockets and arrows falling from the Great Wall, which made him very excited. With the support of his comrades, it would definitely not be a problem for them to escape.

But then, Jon saw several ice blades flying up, and then there was a loud explosion of violent collision on the Wall, which made Jon worry about his comrades on it, but fortunately, the arrows did not stop.

After cutting off the hands and feet of another wight who was blocking his way, Jon continued running. Suddenly, Ghost swooped over from the side and held him down. At first he didn't know what the little wolf was doing, but his trust in Ghost made him have no enemies. Then, Jon felt a pile of debris hitting him in front of him. He looked up and found that an ice blade hit him right in front of him. If it weren't for Ghost, he would have been pierced through at this time.

After touching Ghost's head, Jon continued running. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart, which prompted him to turn his head. Then Jon saw a scene that almost stopped his breathing.

A White Walker rider crossed the line of fire and was riding his ice spider to kill nearby humans.

Jon immediately assessed the situation. He realized that if this thing existed, the people at the city gate would probably not allow them to open the gate. So, after determining that only this one White Walker had crossed the line of fire, Jon made a decision.

When everyone who saw Jon turned around to meet the White Walker, they were surprised. They didn't expect that someone would choose not to leave but to turn around to meet it. That was a White Walker.

However, deep down, they were all grateful for this man's stupidity/sacrifice. After all, the more scapegoats there were, the greater the chances of their escape.

But not everyone did the same. Some rangers who realized Jon's purpose turned around, but most of them took out bows and arrows on the spot and shot at the White Walkers with dragon crystal arrows, while the new recruits who had trained with Jon followed him.

Facing the following of his comrades, Jon did not say much. Every minute and every second was precious when facing the White Walkers. All his energy was now focused on observing the Pale Knight in front of him. Although this guy had passed through the line of fire, it seemed that the line of fire had also caused a lot of impact on him. There were traces of smoke and fire on many parts of the ice spider, and even the Pale Knight's body had some burnt marks.

This White Walker obviously didn't expect that humans would rush to face it, and it immediately summoned the nearby wights to try to stop the humans from approaching. Then he began to frantically block the flying arrows. These arrows were dragon crystal arrows, which were not something he could ignore.

Jon's companions faced the wights under Jon's command. Although everyone was very frightened when facing the White Walkers for the first time, they had no idea how many times they had fought against these controlled corpses, so they had no fear at all.

In this way, Jon was able to watch the White Walkers without distraction. He saw a dragoncrystal arrow pierced the ice spider. The huge spider was obviously greatly affected by it, and even its movements were not smooth. The White Walkers were busy blocking the dragoncrystal arrows coming from all directions.

Jon watched this scene, and as he got closer and closer to the White Walkers, he made an extremely risky decision. When approaching the ice spider, Jon slid suddenly and passed under the huge jaw of the ice spider. His Valyrian steel sword from Old Bear broke a big hole in the spider's big belly.

The evil spider fell down with his movement, and when Jon got up, the White Walker also stood up. Although the Pale Knight had no expression on his face and could not show any expression, Jon could feel his anger.

He didn't expect that he could actually make the White Walkers like this. For no reason, Jon felt a sense of pride in his heart, and as he watched the White Walkers walking towards him, Jon felt a sense of success in his plan.

The next moment, the White Ghost pounced on the Pale Knight's back. The White Walker obviously did not expect to encounter such an attack. It wanted to get rid of the White Ghost, but it would be difficult to succeed for a while. Jon simply held the sword with both hands and stabbed the Pale Knight.

The White Walker's head was pierced directly by Jon. At that moment, the seemingly invincible figure of the Pale Knight fell down, and then the monster melted at an extremely fast speed under the sunlight and turned into a pool of cold liquid.

Looking at this scene, Jon didn't know what to say for a moment. Subconsciously, he looked to the other side of the fire wall, but saw the figures of several pale knights appear. Looking at this scene, Jon no longer lingered and directly called everyone to leave together.
