Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Chapter 511 Broken Defense Line

Samwell rode the white dragon and flew over the army of wights.

Cleopatra's flames plowed channels of orange-red flames in the black army of corpses below, and the pungent smell of burnt bones filled the wind and snow.

Until this moment, Samwell had not yet recovered from the shock of the sudden melting of the Wall.

Unexpectedly, I had only been away for a week, and the north would undergo such earth-shaking changes.

Although it is not known what method the White Walkers used to cause the Great Wall to collapse, it did catch humans by surprise.

They are simply not fully prepared.

Even the advance team sent before could not reach the Great Wall from King's Landing.

The Northern Territory is really too big. Although it is vast and sparsely populated, in terms of area, its territory is almost equal to the other six countries combined.

It would take a month and a half to march from King's Landing to the Great Wall at the northernmost point of the North, no matter how fast it was.

In other words, Samwell, riding a giant dragon, could arrive within two or three days.

If the Great Wall of Despair collapses at this time, it will be unstoppable for the White Walkers to invade the Seven Kingdoms.

Thinking of this, Samwell could only sigh secretly, reluctantly collect his mind and focus on the current battle.

At this time, the endless tide of corpses continued to emerge from the wind and snow in the north, making frightening and weird howling sounds and spreading to the south.

The Night's Watch Legion and the Wildling Warriors relied on the buildings of Castle Black to arrange their positions and prepare for the battle.

"Archers, prepare!"

An officer in black robe looked at the surging tide of corpses in front of him and took a deep breath.

He tried hard not to tremble, but failed.

Fortunately, the white dragon flying in the sky gave him a glimmer of confidence.

"Ready! Shoot the arrow!"

With an order, all the archers lit their arrows and then shot them high into the sky.

bang bang bang—

Accompanied by a series of bowstring sounds, densely packed flaming arrows flew high into the sky, and then immediately landed, forming a small rain of fire.

Although the White Walkers are not afraid of fire, for corpses, fire is more lethal than steel weapons.

After a round of volley, the ghouls in the front row fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and the flames quickly spread across their bodies.

But the vitality of these monsters is extremely tenacious. Even if they are covered in fire, they still do not die. They roll and crawl in the snow, howling wildly, until they are trampled and crushed by their companions coming up from behind.

Unlike human soldiers, ghouls have intelligence and emotions. They don't feel fear when they are hit, and they just charge forward headlong.

It's as if their only goal is to tear apart all living things.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the corpse ghost finally rushed to the position of the human soldiers.

"Hold the position! Don't retreat!"

Eddard Stark, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, holds the corrugated steel giant sword [Ice] inherited from his family in both hands and rushes to the front line.

"Roar--"

A corpse rushed forward with its teeth and claws bared, but Ed swung his sword and cut the opponent in half in an instant.

The corpse that was broken into two pieces turned into a puddle of liquid before it fell to the ground.

This is the restraint of Wagang weapons on ghouls.

Legend has it that when the Valyrians forged these weapons, they imbued them with fire magic.

It's a pity that Wagang weapons are too rare.

And the dragon crystal weapons were not all equipped yet, so it was extremely difficult for the remaining human soldiers to face the zombies.

Sir Denys Mallister swung his sword and chopped off the head of the charging wight, but the remaining headless body of the other party still rushed towards him without mercy.

Kakaka——

Sir Dennis smashed the corpse's chest and limbs with several more swords before finally sending it to hell.

But what's even more frightening is the infectious nature of the ghouls.

The human soldiers killed by them will soon get up from the ground again and fight back against their former companions.

This resulted in the army of corpses killing more and more people, as if they would never be able to finish them off.

This horrific scene is extremely impactful to anyone, and ordinary human soldiers will even collapse in front of the zombie tide.

Fortunately, the soldiers stationed at Castle Black, whether they are the Night Watch Legion or the Savage Warriors, have more or less fought against ghouls and seen these monsters, so even when faced with the zombie tide, there was no riot, but Ability to organize effective counterattacks.

Of course, what's more important is that there is a giant dragon in the sky to help.

After Cleopatra spreads her wings, the shadow she casts can almost cover the entire Black Castle. The dragon flames she spits out can draw hundreds of meters of flames on the snow, killing hundreds of ghouls. reduced to ashes.

Such powerful combat power injects the power of confidence into the human warriors.

Even many night watchmen who had been preparing to flee in the chaos returned and joined the battle.

However, the Night's Watch logistics personnel led by Jon Snow and the team of wildling women and children continued to withdraw southward.

They knew very well that the Great Wall of Despair stretched for thousands of miles. Even if Castle Black successfully blocked the tide of zombies, what about other places?

With the current strength of the Night Watch, it is impossible to fortify the entire line along the collapsed Great Wall.

It was impossible for Caesar and his dragons to erect a wall of fire on top of the ruins of the Great Wall.

Therefore, disaster is inevitable.

All they could do was to organize as many people as possible to take refuge south before the zombie army flooded the north.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Jon kept urging the evacuating people.

But when he thought that his homeland would be poisoned by those monsters, he was heartbroken.

At this moment, he wished he could grow wings, fly to Winterfell, and take everyone in that castle with him.

An exclamation caught his attention, and Jon looked back and saw a few escaped corpses rushing through Castle Black's defenses and catching up with the retreating team.

"Don't panic! Keep moving forward!" Jon ordered while calling his companions, "Owen, Grenn, follow me!"

The three men and three horses broke through the ice and snow and rushed towards the corpse at the tail of the team.

Bang bang bang——

With a few muffled sounds, the team of zombies was completely dispersed. Several skeletons were the first to be knocked apart and fell all over the ground.

"Kill!"

Jon turned the horse's head and charged a few more times before clearing away the following corpses.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a savage corpse on the ground suddenly jumped up.

Caught off guard, the horse was frightened and Jon was thrown off, falling backward into the snow.

Before he could get up, the corpse rushed over and pinned him down.

They were so close that Jon could smell the stench from the other's mouth.

His strong survival instinct caused him to burst out with astonishing strength, flipping the ghoul over in one fell swoop, and then quickly rolled to distance himself.

Before he could find his weapon again and fight again, he saw a spear flying towards him and piercing the corpse's throat.

Blood spurts out, but freezes into ice in the air.

Jon was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and added a few more swords, killing the corpse completely, then turned back and said:

"Thank you, Miss Val."

"I'm not a young lady." Val said.

Jon shrugged.

He knew that because Val was the sister-in-law of Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, many of the Night's Watch also called her the "Wild Princess."

But this is actually a misunderstanding.

The savages do not have a strict class system, and even the king beyond the wall is not hereditary.

Vaer will indeed be respected among the savages, but she will never enjoy privileges similar to those of a princess.

But to be honest, Wa'er has a noble temperament. It's hard to imagine that she is one of the barbarians north of the Great Wall.

"Another ghoul is coming." Val reminded.

Jon was startled and quickly looked away, looking north.

But this time, before he could take any action, Waer took the initiative and said:

"I will lead people to stop them, and you continue to lead everyone south."

"You?" Jon subconsciously glanced at the other party with suspicion, as well as the group of women holding spears following behind her.

This kind of gaze obviously made Wa'er feel uncomfortable. She snorted coldly and said:

"Crow, don't look down upon us. The spearwives of our free folk are no worse than your night watchmen."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to respond, he led the team to meet the rushing corpse.

Jon had no choice but to remind him:

"After we leave, you'd better join up with Castle Black's army!"

"I know!" Wa'er said, then waved his hand, as if urging the other party to move forward impatiently.

Jon mounted his warhorse and followed the team heading south.

The group walked along the King's Road and soon came to Mole Village.

Worried that there would be corpses chasing behind them, they did not plan to stay any longer.

"Tell the villagers that the Great Wall has fallen and the White Walkers are coming. If you don't want to die, please come south with us." Jon ordered, "Remember to go to the cellar and have a look, and be sure to notify everyone."

"Yes!" A group of night watchmen took the order and left.

The main force continued to move south.

Jon rode through the streets of villages and towns, knocking on doors and announcing the coming disaster.

It wasn't until he saw two figures in the snow that he stopped.

"Kingslayer?" Jon almost didn't recognize him.

Because at this time, James was sitting on his knees in the snow, his body covered with snow, almost drowning him.

In his arms, there was another person, but it seemed that he was no longer alive.

When he heard someone calling him, James' stiff eyes moved, but he didn't speak.

"Come with us, the White Walkers are coming." Jon advised.

Although the Lannister family and the Stark family have enmity, Jon has a good impression of Jaime.

Because when Duke Tywin Lannister temporarily took control of the situation in the North, he sent people to the Great Wall to demand that his eldest son Jaime be taken away.

In fact, the night watchman did not dare to block this request.

After all, the Lannister family controlled the four northern realms at that time and was at its most powerful, so the Night's Watch could not refuse Lord Tywin.

But the strange thing is that James himself refused to leave, saying that since he had put on black clothes and sworn an oath, he would abide by it until death.

Many night watchmen disagreed with this.

After all, the regicide has a bad reputation. This person even killed the king he swore to protect, so why should he stick to it?

But no one expected that this time, the regicide really didn't intend to break his oath again.

Even when Lord Tywin sent people to kidnap Jaime forcibly, he was able to escape halfway back to the Wall.

Since then, many brothers of the Night's Watch have changed their views on the Kingslayer.

Jon is one of them.

Today's night watchmen are a mixed group, including robbers, thieves, rapists, illegitimate children... Regicide does not seem out of place here.

They are all a group of scum abandoned by the world, but they are forced to do what heroes should do.

"Come with me," Jon urged again, "Who is that in your arms?"

This time James finally responded:

"Cersei, it was she who blew the Horn of Winter and brought down the Wall."

Jon was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face became inexplicably weird:

"She blew the horn of winter?"

"Yes." James' tone revealed despair, "I killed her myself."

Jon was immediately even more surprised:

"You, you killed your...sister?"

"Yes." A bitter and self-deprecating smile appeared on James' lips, "I killed my sister, my lover, and the mother of my children.

You say, should I die too? "

Jon said nothing.

He was hesitant to tell the other person the truth.

But what is the truth?

Could it be that Robb was blowing the real Horn of Winter?

So many weird things have happened that Jon has lost his judgment.

And he was worried that if he told the other party that he killed the wrong person, James would collapse directly.

However, looking at the current state of the Kingslayer, I am afraid that he is not far from collapse.

"Cersei and I are not only siblings, but also lovers." Jaime said, "We are basically the same life divided into two halves. We once shared the same womb. I came into the world holding her feet. When we are united, I feel complete.

Now she is dead, died in my hands...

But she won't be alone.

We came into this world together and we will leave together. "

After hearing this, Jon already understood that the other party was determined to die.

He said no more and turned to leave.

Soon, all the troops left Mole Village, leaving only the Lannister siblings.

In a daze, James saw five figures looming in the wind and snow, like gray ghosts, riding on war horses made of condensed wind and snow.

Their helmets were closed tightly, but James didn't need to see their faces to know who they were.

Five people were once his sworn brothers.

Ser Oswell River, Ser Jon Darry, Prince Lewin Martell of Dorne, Gerold Hightower "The White Bull", Arthur Dayne "The Sword of Dawn", among them Among them, there is also a man wearing a crown of blood and grief——

That was Rhaegar Targaryen, former Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne.

They gathered around like a mist.

"You swore an oath," Ser Arthur Dayne said sadly, "I will place the sword on your shoulder with my own hand."

"I put on a white cloak for you with my own hands." Prince Rhaegar said with disappointment.

The ghosts jumped off their horses in the snow and wind, and six long swords were unsheathed, but they didn't make a sound.

The sword light slashed at him, and James couldn't avoid it.

But the next moment, the sword light melted like ice and snow.

A group of corpses followed the scent of living people to Mole Village, but they ignored the siblings in the snow.

They even went out of their way to avoid them, as if something extremely terrifying was gestating and sprouting there.
