The sight of the forest, whose leaves have long since fallen out, is clear, and the snow at the end of the field of vision is billowing, mixed with the lifted up dead leaves and soil, and is like a wave, heading towards the defense lines of the northerners.
"Hold on!" Ed held the sword sideways at his waist and shouted to the restless soldiers.
The first row of soldiers dug the bottom of the large shield into the soil to make it more stable and resistant to impact. The second row of soldiers holding round shields and spears followed closely behind them, and behind them were the third and fourth rows. The Northern Army wanted to provide
The civilians in the rear fought for time and formed a line-long formation. Ed ordered that even if all the people were dead, not a single ghoul could be allowed to pass.
The surging snow waves were getting closer, and the soldiers in the first few rows could already clearly see the broken body of the ghoul, charging like a mad dog with the blessing of death magic.
"Hold on!" Not far away, Count Rickard Karstark shouted the same thing.
There are not only humanoid corpses, but also medium-sized animals such as dogs, foxes, and wolves, as well as large beasts such as deer and bears. Even the bears are covered with resurrected rats and snakes. White Walkers are resurrected along the way.
.
There are a large number of farmers in the recruitment. They are strong but very courageous. They are good at bullying the weak and robbing their homes. Faced with this monster, many soldiers showed signs of running away. They shook their bodies and looked around, standing at the rear.
The officers could clearly see that there were officers holding swords everywhere in the formation, kicking and beating the soldiers: "Look ahead! Don't retreat!"
The charge of the corpses began to accelerate. Even if their body limbs were squeezed out during the run, as long as their legs were still running, their bodies were running, and the bright blue eyes on their heads were staring at the north.
Living people in the environment.
When they were still thirty steps away from the human defense line, the wights rushing in the front row suddenly fell into the snow. This was the deep ravine that Robb had mentioned.
If a human fell into a deep ditch, he would most likely lose his fighting power, but the ghouls were not afraid of falling. The ghouls behind were still charging into the ditch. When the ghouls at the bottom were about to get up, they fell on top of them, stacked one on top of the other.
A row of black bodies soon filled up the bottom of the ditch. They were using their bodies to fill up the ditch and pave the way for the troops in the rear.
Without Ed's command, the knights who had received the mission in advance threw a large amount of kerosene and wildfire pots at the pile of corpses.
The pottery jars smashed against the ghouls one after another, and a large amount of green liquid with a pungent smell of fire oil splashed out. The ghouls were not afraid of pressure, and the ghouls at the bottom and above the pile were constantly moving, throwing these flammable
The liquid was stirred all over the body.
"ignition!"
As Ed's roar spread, countless burning torches from behind the shield array were thrown at the corpses.
Boom~~~
Green flames mixed with a little red shot up three stories high, and a wall of fire blocked the advance of the corpse.
"Hiss~~"
A humanoid ghoul in the fire stood up, feeling no pain even though its whole body was covered in flames. It raised the broken ax in its hand and pointed it at the Northerners. When it let out a roar and prepared to take another step, the arm holding the weapon dropped and the body began to move.
It was broken into pieces and soon turned into ashes in the fire.
"This wildfire from Tyrosh is really awesome!"
Amid the praises of the northerners and the crackling sounds of broken bones, the green wall of fire burned for five minutes before gradually extinguishing.
"Keep throwing kerosene, don't stop!" Looking at the slack soldiers, Ed started shouting again.
Just as the knights were about to throw out the second batch of clay pots, a group of ghoul birds taking off from the woods rushed into the crowd.
"my eyes!"
"Ah~~~"
Birds descended from the sky and swarmed in. They did not attack the shield bearers in the front row, but only attacked the knight with the clay pot in his hand. They screamed one after another.
These ghoul birds were killed by the White Walkers as they marched south. The ones that had lost all their hair followed the large army in the charge, and the ones that still had some feathers and could barely fly were used as the White Walkers' surprise attack force.
"Stabilize the formation in the front row! Don't move!"
Fortunately, the attack power of these ghoul birds was not strong. The knights in thick leather armor endured the pain and put the pots on the ground before they started to peck at the birds on their bodies.
The soldiers at the rear also came over to help and threw the torn off bird to the ground. The bird was a corpse. It struggled on the ground for a few times before getting up and jumping onto another person next to it.
"We must kill these flat-haired beasts directly!"
The soldiers became violent, throwing the bird to the ground and stamping on it until it was reduced to a puddle of flesh and could no longer be moved.
The strong smell of corpses began to permeate the military formation. People who were attacked by birds were pecked on their faces and their faces were pockmarked with blood. However, they were not immediately fatal. They could endure the pain and still pick up their swords and continue fighting. Only a few unlucky knights were killed.
The eagle's attack tore his throat, and he already fell to the ground without breathing.
Just as the commotion in the rear ended, the wall of fire in front also went out.
"The whole army obeys the order and prepares to fight!" Ed found a shield and held it in his hand, raised his sword and gave the order.
Roar~~
Most of the corpses that charged for the first time had mutilated limbs or withered bones, which were used by the White Walkers to die and explore their way. Now the corpses that are fighting head-on with humans are relatively intact corpses.
They also have a lot of dried meat on them, huge bears, running deer, and some humanoid corpses still have armor and weapons from when they were alive.
The corpses collide with the shield formation, and humans' obsidian spears can stab them to death. They can also use their bodies to pave a path before they die completely.
Kill~~~
The shouts of humans, the roars of the White Walkers, the collision of weapons, and the sound of broken bones were mixed together.
A tall ghoul stag held the shield with its long horns, and stepped forward step by step with all four feet on the ground. The soldiers' feet also slowly slid back. The huge ancient giant deer was about to hold up a gap in the shield array.
Fortunately, four or five soldiers came from behind to catch the shield and stabilize the formation.
A row of spears were thrust out, and the blue light in the eyes of the ghoul stabbed by the obsidian spearhead went out, and he immediately fell to the ground. Under the command of the officer, the spears were retracted and thrust out non-stop. As batches of ghouls fell to the ground, the obsidian
The gun head could not withstand the impact and gradually began to break. Some soldiers retreated to the back row to replace the gun head.
"Here we go again, hold on!"
The corpses and humans are fighting together, and the wildfire thrown behind them can burn many people, but it can't achieve the same effect as burning them in a deep ditch before.
An unknown number of zombies attacked continuously, and after killing one, two more came.
The giant deer was finally killed by the spearmen, and the dead ghouls slowly piled up in front of the shield formation. Slowly, the soldiers discovered that the ghouls no longer attacked from the front, but from above.
"Everyone take five steps back!"
Ed finally gave the order.
A very important part of knight training is the formation. In close combat, especially when at a disadvantage, an order to retreat may cause the formation to collapse. The recruited farmers have only received a few trainings, allowing them to rush forward.
It was okay, but to retreat, Ed hesitated for a long time before giving this order. It was not until too many dead bodies piled up in front of the formation that he had to retreat before making the decision.
Perhaps there were too many corpses, and the soldiers engaged in the battle were too exhausted to cope with them and had no way to escape. The shield array did not collapse when it slowly left the pile of corpses.
Countless withered arms stretched out from the gaps in the shield. The soldier put his shoulder against the shield and hid behind with his head lowered. One arm grabbed his shoulder, and then more arms grabbed him, screaming.
He was pulled out of the shield formation, and soon his head was thrown back into the formation. The headless body stood up and moved towards the humans.
Several more giant bears came. They leaned on their thick dead skins to hold their spears, and pounced directly with their bodies directly on the shield array. Seven or eight soldiers were pinned underneath and were quickly divided by other corpses.
When dozens of spears stabbed the giant bear to death, the formation was in chaos.
There were several openings, and countless corpses rushed into the crowd with crude weapons. Now the dead and the living were completely mixed together.
A group of Stark knights formed a circle to protect Ed as he retreated. Even though they were slashing wildly, many corpses still crawled onto their bodies, stepped on the knight's head and jumped to Ed's side.
A broken battle axe, Ed took the initiative to get close to the ax handle before the ghoul fell, and the obsidian dagger in the other hand also pierced the belly of the ghoul. As long as the ghouls don't get together, long-term
It was easy for the trained knights to deal with them when they were alone. After cutting the other corpses into several pieces with a few more swords, Ed used his dagger to finish the attack.
"How long will it take for our support to arrive?" The panting old Rickard came near Ed with a sword and shouted after seeing him.
Ed threw away the corpse in his hand and looked up to the north. Four dragons were spraying dragon flames in the sky, and empty magic balls were flying from the ground to the sky from time to time. The western front was only dealing with the side of the White Walkers.
Army, the northern battlefield is where the most zombies are and where the fighting is fiercest.
"Without support, we can only rely on ourselves."
"If the strength of the ghouls is this, then we can win." Old Rickard's body was dirty and filled with the smell of corpses. He also killed many ghouls.
Facing the organized defense of humans, ghouls with only a handful of bones and a rampant fighting style have almost no hope of victory when their numbers are not more than ten times greater. Now the defenders here in Ed have casualties.
, but compared to the mass of dead corpses, they are very few.
After a brief period of confusion, all the ghouls that rushed into the formation were killed, and under the command of the officers, the army resumed its formation.
"Victory belongs to mankind!"
"Victory belongs to the Northerners!"
The pace of the battle has slowed down, and the number of ghouls that were charging continuously has been significantly reduced. Even the shield bearers no longer need to hold shields with both hands, and can now pick up long swords and cooperate with the spearmen to counterattack.
He and Ed retreated to a small mound and looked at the battlefield where the Northerners were gradually gaining the upper hand. Old Rickard turned to Ed: "Ed, I heard that you emptied all the wine cellars in Winterfell.
Now, I will choose the best bottle when I get to the Fortress of Cailin Bay!"
"You can drink my wine as long as you want after victory." This war has just begun, and Ed doesn't know how long it will last. Ed himself also wants to get drunk and forget this nightmare after the war is completely over.
The clothes on Old Rickard's chest were pushed open, and an ice spear sprang out from his chest. Eddard instinctively jumped out of the way, but the spear was inserted into the shoulder armor. The force of the spear did not stop, and Eddard was taken with him.
His body left a trace of five or six meters on the ground before stopping.
"There are White Walkers! Be alert!" the knight next to him shouted.
"leave me alone!"
Waving the knights to get out of the way, the magical weapons of the White Walkers were not human weapons. Ed gritted his teeth and pulled out the ice spear from his shoulder.
Old Rickard had fallen to the ground, and the knights of his family were surrounding him with shields.
"Father!" Harion also ran to his father's side. When he helped old Rickard up, his hands were covered with blood. An ice spear flew from behind and penetrated old Rickard's body, leaving a big hole in his chest.
Even if he drank the healing potion, it would be no use.
Ed covered his shoulders and squatted down next to Old Rickard: "The spear is aimed at me! Old Rickard, I owe you a life."
Old Rickard looked up: "Our two families are originally one family!"
"Yes!" Ed held Old Rickard's hands.
Old Rickard: "Ed, maybe you are right to insist on going south, but I still want to say that there are no cowards in the north!"
"I agree with your point of view." Before Ed finished speaking, Old Rickard had lost his breath and did not hear his words.
Ed reached out and closed his eyes, then handed his obsidian dagger to Hallion.
"ah!
"Halion took the dagger, clenched it with both hands, and pierced his father's heart with a roar.
Ed stood up, judged the direction in which the spear was coming, pushed aside the knights around him and looked into the distance. He saw a white figure standing in the snow, also looking at Ed.
"The war is not over yet! Harion, you are now the patriarch of the Karstark family. Kill the White Walker to avenge Earl Karstark!"
Hallion crossed his father's hands on his chest and ran towards the horse tied behind.
"Knights of the Karstark family, avenge my father!" Hallion on horseback roared, leading the family knights towards the White Walkers.
Seeing that the infantry's victory was imminent, Ed was afraid that something might happen to Hallion, so he summoned the knights around him to follow him: "Knights of the Stark family! Charge with me!"
"kill!
"
~~~
"We have to keep distance from the corpses, otherwise the dragon will not be able to support us!"
"I would rather be burned to death by dragon flames than turn into a ghoul!"
On the northern battlefield a few kilometers away from Aide, there are rows of dead trees on the ground lit by dragon flames. Countless humans and ghouls are fighting everywhere. Spraying dragon flames at this time will burn the humans to death. Four giant dragons
Flying to high altitude temporarily.
Aoda Weiying flew to the side of the black dragon Shulvokun, and Witte shouted to Sauron: "Go back to the fortress!"
Sauron had just thrown an explosive fireball into the ground: he turned around and saw that Werther was coming, and quickly replied: "I won't! I want to fight!"
Wirth: "Now that humans and corpses are mixed together, how useful can you be?"
Sauron pointed to the blue dragon in front: "The prince is as big as me, and he is also fighting!"
Werther still wanted to speak, but Aoda Weiying felt an extremely cold magic power. It was exactly what the White Walker who attacked Ed said when he threw the spear: "Dragonborn, there is a White Walker here!"
"Did you hear that, there are White Walkers here! They can kill dragons! Fly into the clouds quickly!" Werther was really afraid that he and the black dragon would be shot down by the White Walkers' ice spears.
Werther went to inform Renly that Renly could use defensive magic to protect the dragon, and the two planned to use his dragon Petwaha to lure the White Walkers out.
When Werther and Renly went to trap the White Walkers, the princes Lionel and Sauron above the clouds were discussing something. Not long after, two dragons, one blue and one black, swooped down from the clouds towards the battlefield.
