The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 234 Divine soldiers descend from heaven
On the Gifted Lands, the Night's Watch's army is advancing.

This was a huge team. At a glance, the endless team seemed to be endless. The night watchmen and volunteers formed the front and back halves of the team, and in the middle were the residents of the donated land. Women, children, the elderly and the weak walked in the center carrying packages of varying sizes, while the young and strong walked at the outermost edge carrying simple weapons.

The atmosphere in the team was quite heavy, especially among the residents of the Gift. They came to the Gift in pursuit of a better life, but before they could even enjoy the good life for a few years, they had to flee in a panic, with the legendary terrifying White Walkers following behind them.

From time to time, night watchmen or volunteer cavalry ran by, and their presence provided great comfort to the already frightened people, letting them know that someone was protecting them. This was a blessing in disguise for the residents of the donated land who were forced to leave their homes.

There are many rest stops along the road where soldiers and residents can replenish supplies, get provisions, and then continue on their journey.

During this march south, the Night's Watch made great use of the organizational capabilities spread during the Eastern Expedition. This set of organizational techniques was able to spread due to the large number of people participating in the expedition, and examples of the expedition's organizational techniques being used were found everywhere.

Facts have proved that the organizational skills that have been tested in the flames of expedition are indeed effective. The Night's Watch simply imitated Hugo's actions back then, and with enough manpower, they organized this huge team.

Jeor Mormont, also known as the Old Bear, the 997th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, was standing on a hill next to the team, looking at the huge team moving forward.

At first glance, the Night's Watch was very strong and powerful, reaching its peak level in the past few hundred years. However, when Old Bear saw this, he could only lament in his heart, because he was about to escape with the Night's Watch.

But if they didn't run away, would they be able to change the dire situation facing the Night's Watch? Therefore, as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, he made a judgment that in this case, withdrawal was the best option.

However, since he had done this, he had also made up his mind that after the war was over, no matter whether the final result was victory or defeat, he would resign as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and be just an ordinary brother from then on - of course, it would be best if he could die in this war against the White Walkers.

Considering how difficult the White Walkers are, Old Xiong feels that there is a high possibility that he will die in this battle against the White Walkers. In this case, he has to consider the issue of his successor.

Although the Night's Watch has always been regarded by the world as a gathering place for scum and losers, it is still an extremely rare professional army corps in the whole world. Now the Night's Watch has 5,000 brothers, which is a military force that obeys orders.

The heir that Old Bear favored was Jon. After a period of observation, and realizing that Jon's connections could bring great help to the legion, he began to train this young man.

Moreover, after he killed the White Walkers recently, his reputation in the legion has been growing day by day. He also led by example and set a good example for everyone in everything, which is undoubtedly what Old Bear is happy to see.

But, after all, Jon was still too young, and although he had gained the support of many young brothers, the old men still supported their own teams. Thinking of this, Old Bear felt somewhat fortunate - and then felt ashamed - at least the two men from Shadow Tower and Eastwatch were no longer there. They had defended their fortresses and died together with the swarming wights.

If these two were still around, Jon would definitely have no chance of becoming the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

Just as Old Bear was thinking about the future, a Night Watch Ranger hurried over. Looking at the figure, Old Bear had a bad premonition in his heart. What the Ranger brought next was indeed the bad news that Old Bear did not want to hear.

That is, they have discovered the White Walker pursuers.

.

"Shoot! We can't let these monsters get through!"

As the command was spoken, a burst of rockets pierced through the mist and landed on the corpse horses and corpse wolves. The corpses turned into burning torches the moment they touched the fire and quickly lost the ability to move.

The Night's Watchmen who set the enemy on fire did not celebrate their victory. They immediately prepared the next round of arrows. After this round of arrows, a large number of zombies turned into moving torches.

The continuously produced torches made the people who were left behind feel fortunate. When they were ordered to leave, they were desperate, thinking that their next fate would be to become mindless puppets driven by the White Walkers, but now it seems that the situation is not that bad.

However, with the appearance of the White Walkers, their hearts immediately fell into an ice cellar.

The White Walkers rode on giant ice spiders and looked very intimidating. The moment the Pale Knight appeared, he immediately threw dozens of ice spears into the archers of the Night's Watch.

All of a sudden, dozens of unlucky guys were pierced through. The armor on their bodies was like paper in front of the White Walkers. The morale of the Night's Watch was slightly shaken, but it quickly recovered under the rebuke and running of the generals.

Those who stayed here to cover the retreat were the most elite forces of the Night's Watch, including many who had fought against the White Walkers and survived. They played a stabilizing role in the army.

The Night's Watch archers took out dragon glass arrows and threw them at the White Walkers, but the White Walkers simply raised their milky white weapons and easily blocked the rounds of arrows.

"Oh no, the White Walkers are waiting for the wights!"

Jon Snow, one of the commanders of the Night's Watch, saw that the White Walkers were slow to come forward and just stood there watching them, and immediately figured out what the White Walkers were doing.

"In that case, let's take the initiative to attack." Old Bear had been keeping a close eye on the battle line. "Lord Bonifer, I would like to ask your Crusade Knights to take the lead. We, the Night's Watch, do not have as good weapons and equipment as you, and most importantly, horses. We cannot rush over quickly to entangle the White Walkers."

"Seven Gods, this is the moment I have been waiting for for a long time. Please leave it to me."

Bonifer, who had been at the Wall for a long time and was fighting against the White Walkers with the Night's Watch, said without hesitation. No one would doubt the truth of his words because he was eager to try. There was a reason why Old Bear asked Bonifer's team to go first, because the Holy War Knights were indeed the most elite force on the Wall. Whether fighting against the wildlings or the White Walkers, these knights never backed down, and they were well-equipped, with dozens of Valyrian steel weapons - these were sent by Hugo.

The holy war knights unfolded their flags and rushed towards the White Walkers. These knights in bright clothes and fast horses immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, and the infantry of the Night's Watch also took the opportunity to advance forward.

Just as Old Bear had expected, the White Walkers focused their efforts on the knights with their ice spears. However, since the knights moved very quickly and attacked loose targets, most of the ice spears just hit the ground. Apart from the ice flowers that rose up in the sky, they did not cause any damage to the knights.

Moreover, their throws were constantly harassed by the dragon crystal arrows. They could not throw more than a few shots and had to focus all their energy on blocking those dragon crystal arrows. To them, dragon crystal was too deadly. Even they would die immediately if stabbed by it.

And for some unknown reason, the mist became thicker and thicker, making it increasingly difficult for people to see far away. It seemed that the same was true for the White Walkers, as the accuracy of the ice spears they threw dropped significantly.

As the knights got closer, the pale knights stopped throwing ice spears and met the mortals who were coming towards them, intending to tear these mortals who were not afraid of them into pieces.

But just as the White Walkers were about to engage in battle with the knights, another round of arrows fell. Although the Pale Knight's reaction was far superior to that of ordinary people, in such a sudden situation, a White Walker was still hit by a dragon crystal arrow, and then this White Walker turned into a pool of ice water at an extremely fast speed under everyone's eyes.

The White Walkers roared with obvious anger, but the Crusade Knights were not going to let them just roar like that. They charged forward with their lances equipped with dragon crystal spearheads. In this situation, several White Walkers were hit and turned into pools of ice water.

The consecutive loss of several companions obviously made these White Walkers extremely angry, and then, they showed their strength.

After killing several White Walkers, the Crusade Knights were complacent and thought that the White Walkers were nothing special. But then they found out that they were wrong and very wrong.

The White Walkers swung their milky white swords at an extremely fast speed. Ordinary swords could not compete with such swords and would be broken into pieces after a few collisions. Only Valyrian weapons could collide with the White Walkers' weapons, but there were only about ten such weapons in the entire Crusade Knights.

Moreover, the ice spiders that had lost their riders still had combat power. These huge spiders directly knocked the knights off their horses, and then pounced on them and killed them with their mouthparts. Many people encountered the White Walker's ice spiders for the first time and were completely caught off guard.

Thus, the knights with strong confidence suffered a Waterloo. Their brothers kept dying, but they stood up again to fight against them. Knights in full armor were difficult to kill, and they were even more invincible after becoming dead. Many knights died at the hands of their comrades, and were strangled to death by the hands of the dead.

After paying such sacrifices, the Knights Crusade only managed to kill five White Walkers, two of whom were killed by Bonifer. Faced with such results, Bonifer couldn't help but feel shaken, but when he thought of their plan, he became determined again.

In the next moment, a round of arrows fell, indiscriminately covering the White Walkers and the Crusade Knights, but the Crusade Knights were unharmed under the rain of arrows. The dragon crystal arrows could not break their armor at all. The White Walkers were in big trouble. For them, this thing was fatal.

In an instant, nearly ten White Walkers turned into a pool of ice water. This was Old Bear's plan. Since the White Walkers were difficult to kill, they would be kept busy. Even a monster like this would be killed under such circumstances.

The Night's Watch infantry also arrived at this moment. Faced with such a disadvantage, even the White Walkers fled in panic, riding their ice spiders and hiding in the fog.

But when the last White Walker disappeared in the fog, everyone cheered. The reason was simple: they had finally defeated the White Walkers. These monsters from legends were defeated by them with swords, fire and wisdom. How could they not be happy?

However, this excitement was short-lived, because the fog dissipated at a speed that was difficult for mortals to understand, and after the weapons were dispersed, what the Night Watch saw was a vast army of zombies that covered the sky and the earth.

Humans, beasts, giants... these puppets, some of which looked like living people, some of which were withered and mummified, walked towards them with firm and unstoppable steps. All those who stayed to resist the White Walkers looked ashen at this moment. With such a scene, didn't they understand what was going on? In order to seize the initiative, they fell into the White Walkers' plan. They thought they had defeated the White Walkers, but the White Walkers just let them defeat them.

"May the gods bless you."

Looking at this scene, the joy and excitement of killing three White Walkers again disappeared from Jon's chest. He didn't expect this moment to come so soon, but he had already prepared himself mentally.

However, he did not expect that this moment would come so soon. He estimated that after this battle, he would become a corpse ghost. It was really sad that he ended up like this...

Just as Jon was feeling sad about his ending, something suddenly happened. A team of chariots came from behind. These chariots were loaded with some huge jars. They came to the front of the Night's Watch at an extremely fast speed. The White Walkers seemed to think this was a threat, because Jon immediately saw ice spears flying out of the wights, but none of them hit the fast-moving chariots.

The chariots stopped in a circle in front of the Night's Watch. At this time, the wights were getting closer and closer, and the people on the chariots began to act. They took a tube from the big jar and aimed it at the White Walkers that were rushing towards them.

Next, Jon saw a scene he would never forget.

Raging wildfires spewed out of those pipes, instantly igniting a large number of zombies. A sea of ​​green flames instantly appeared in front of everyone, and countless zombies were reduced to ashes.

The wights immediately dispersed. It was not because they were afraid, as the dead would not have such emotions. Instead, their White Walker master realized that if they continued like this, all the wights they brought this time would have to die here. Although they had a lot of wights, they could not use them in this way.

Thus the wildfire formed an impenetrable barrier of flame, keeping the wights out, and to the Night's Watch this incident carried a message.

That is when they are saved.
