Edmure, who had "commanded" the Battle of the Twins, thought he was very experienced in dealing with these undead creatures, but chose the most conservative tactics.
Under his command, tens of thousands of Riverland troops immediately formed the tightest defensive formation after leaving the Cailin Bay Fortress, with swords and shields in front, spears in the center, and archers in the back. Each team was also followed by a noble.
The mages and cavalry they hired were waiting for opportunities at the back of the team.
When a passage was left in the center of the formation for civilians to enter the city, the small groups at the rear dispersed and ran to the front to set up their formation. The entire army advanced alternately and slowly moved to the north.
Among the troops that came out of the city to meet the enemy, there was a group of infantrymen that Edmure could not command.
On a battlefield that stretched for more than ten kilometers, they formed neat infantry formations and escaped from the control of the Riverland coalition forces, moving quickly towards the northern part where the fighting was fiercest.
This thousand-man troop is wearing steel armor and a golden robe with a golden one-shoulder cloak on its back. They hold uniform wooden shields and long swords, and are under the command of four Kingsguards wearing colorful cloaks.
, while advancing forward, kill the corpses coming from the side.
Jon, the commander-in-chief of the golden robe, ran very fast as soon as the battle began. If he wanted to use his own strength, he was not suitable for large-scale legion battles. At the request of Captain Loras of the Kingsguard, Jon temporarily handed over the command.
After giving it to him, a person ran away without a trace.
Loras, as the commander of the entire team, was at the front of the team. He had a long sword stuck in his waist, holding a spear with a stag flag in his hand, and accurately pierced the heads of the ghouls one by one.
Dressed in white, his movements of wielding a spear were both fancy and practical, making many gold-robed men jealous and wanted to learn from him after the battle.
In front of him, there was a squad of a hundred men that Loras could not command. They broke away from the golden robe's military formation and quickly killed the corpses along the way.
"City defense army, speed up!" Loras had no choice but to ask the golden robes to increase their strength and try their best to kill the enemy but keep up with the advancing speed.
The hundred-man squad also has uniform standard equipment, golden armor and cloaks, and holds long-handled battle axes as tall as a person. These are Werther's personal guards.
The long-handled battle ax is extremely lethal when rotated wide open and closed. The corpse will either be chopped in half or beaten to pieces. However, this weapon needs to constantly draw on the remaining power of the previous move to continue swinging it. Therefore, the guards position
They are all relatively scattered, and only the people next to them will support their teammates when they are in danger.
Everyone in the Guards is tall and powerful. From their shouts of killing, you can tell that this team is divided into half and half men and women. The whole body is covered with thick plate armor. It can only be distinguished by the slightly raised female breastplate on the chest.
their gender.
The Guards have to train both honor guards and perform combat functions. The number is fixed at 101. Only those who are disabled and retired and have vacancies will be selected from the Navy and Army. Since Werther does not need personal protection, he can join the Guards
It is the most glorious thing among the civilians of Tyrosh. However, due to the height requirement, countless good players in the army were rejected in the first round of selection.
"Ah~~"
Guard captain Balon Swann chopped off the heads of two wights with one swing of his battle ax. The momentum of the battle ax continued, and he moved his hands holding the handle of the ax around his head and slashed three more wights in half.
As the captain, Baron served as the vanguard at the front of the team. The surrounding corpses were temporarily cleared. He observed the battlefield situation through the gap in his helmet. Baron raised his battle ax and pointed forward diagonally: "Guards! Speed up!"
There was a man in the front, Balon, who was too lazy to direct. He watched him rushing towards the gathering of corpses, and Balon happened to use him to open the way.
After years of training, personnel rotation and participation in bandit suppression operations, Werther's personal guards have become the most elite heavy infantry today. The only person who can fight more fiercely than them on this chaotic battlefield can only be said to be a monster.
The tall Northerner looked like a child in front of him, with his head no bigger than the golden armored warrior's chest. Men like Jon and Jon stood next to him and were only at the same level as his ears.
Different from the dull gold of the armor of Werther's Guards, the color of this warrior's armor is like real gold. Every part of the armor is tightly fitted and airtight. The two shoulder armors protrude from the sharp claws of tiger paws, and only the tiger head-shaped helmet has an opening on it.
There are two small openings for observation, and various parts of the body are inlaid with various gemstones.
A slightly experienced knight can also tell from the sound of his armor colliding when he runs that it is a pair of super-heavy plate armor.
In addition to the golden armor, the warrior held a golden sword in his right hand and a large rectangular metal shield in his left hand. On the front of the golden shield was a tiger head relief, with the tiger's eyes glaring directly in front of the shield holder at any time.
Wearing a golden heavy armor inlaid with precious stones, it sparkled in the dazzling light of the snow. The tall golden-armored warrior became the center of attention of the people around him. Everyone who saw him sighed that he really had money and no place to use it, and he was extremely extravagant.
!
He is the leader of the Qiheda family in Volantis City. He gave up his candidacy for the consulship and joined the Dragon Cult to devote himself to learning magic. He is known as the Dragon Priest who is not a Dragon Priest. Airi was canonized as the Earl of Sehoru Town by Witte.
Os Chihda.
Civilians and northern soldiers could see half of the tall Elios' upper body as soon as they turned their heads. It was impossible for the ghouls on the battlefield to ignore such an obvious target.
Hundreds of ghouls gave up their original attacks and charged towards him. Elios was not afraid of the ghouls at all, he put his shield on his chest and charged towards the ghouls.
"Roar!"
As he roared, red lines began to appear on the armor, and as blood-red magic arrays covered his body, the entire armor ignited with golden flames.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The heavy armor stepped on the ground with a roaring sound, crushing the ice that had been stepped on very tightly by the civilians. Every step he ran left a footprint burning with fire.
"Roar!"
Elios roared again.
The long sword in his hand created a whirlwind along the blade, and the whirlwind flowed towards his body, causing the flames on his armor to start burning like fire oil, and at the same time, Elios' running speed increased by one.
times.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The tiger head on the front of the golden shield turned red, and violently burning blue flames erupted on and around the shield. The flames were running wildly at Elios
The surroundings spread backward, forming a hemisphere.
The golden-armored warrior shrouded in blue and golden flames rushed towards the ghoul. The ghoul's sword and ax struck the blue flames, and the explosion caused the ghoul to be blown to pieces. The ghoul beside him also had no time to chop out.
Then came bad luck. Even if it was not affected by the explosion, the fierce impact of the shield would knock the fragile corpse into several pieces, and the flames would follow and rush to these fragments.
"Oh~~~Ha~~~" Elios was like a mad buffalo ignited by fire, running rampant on the battlefield. He rushed wherever he saw there were many corpses, and wherever he passed, he was killed in rows by rows of corpses.
It was crushed into burning pieces, leaving a long trail of flames on the ice and snow ground behind it.
"The armor with inscriptions all over the body, the magic shield and the long sword are made of real Valyrian steel! This Sun thief family is so rich!"
Not far away, Little Jon, who was passing by on horseback and looking for the mage, sighed after seeing it.
A knight behind Little Jon looked at the worn-out mail sword and the old horse on his crotch: "In exchange for all my belongings, he would have to attach a few more golden dragons to one of his gloves!"
"Let's go! You can't afford one glove for ten of them." Little Jon asked the knight to get down to business quickly.
The maester of Amber's family has a book introducing Valyrian steel weapons, and Little Jon often goes to the study to read it.
The tiger head shield is called Broken Tooth. The name comes from a tiger that was raised in captivity by the Chiheda family and grew up with Elios. One of its canine teeth was broken. The lifespan of a tiger is not as long as that of humans. When he grew up, Elios
Rios named the shield after the dead tiger.
The shield was also made by Witte. Some would spend most of their money on equipment. Elios is a typical example. In his words, a good set of weapons and equipment can not only save lives but also kill enemies and perform meritorious deeds. It is the most important asset of the family.
One of the safe investment channels.
This is also the only Valyrian steel shield currently known. The other side is in the hands of Wirt's wife Nymeria. Of the complete set of armor, weapons and shields, only the spear has a name. Nymeria may be too lazy to take the others.
.
The long sword was borrowed by Elios from his wife's family and was also made by Werther. After every duke in Westeros received Valyrian steel weapons, some earls thought that it would be their turn soon.
, I didn’t expect the Volantis to come out and win Tyrosh’s weapons auction for four consecutive years.
The support from the south is like a sharp knife thrusting straight into the battlefield. The ghouls on the east road have long been wiped out, and the northern lords and their warriors are rushing to the north for support.
On the Western Front, when Werther was chasing the White Walkers, he also scared out the vampires hiding in the snow.
Werther knew that it was impossible for each of the White Walkers to run so fast. Their real main force was still further north, and only a small part could keep up with humans. Therefore, after killing several White Walkers, he captured one alive.
White Walkers and Vampires.
It was freezing cold, and the northern cavalry would not let their horses run for a long time, because they would easily get sick if they stopped. When they discovered Werther's arrival, they took the initiative to retreat and waited for Werther's return.
Two crystal clear rectangular ice cubes slightly longer than a human being floated in the air, slowly following a skeleton horse. There were also purple magic circle patterns on the ice cubes, which Vert could use without the Valyrian steel cage.
Illusions trap their minds.
The skeleton horse Avak hadn't run far enough. He kept spitting out purple soul fire from his nostrils and kept tilting his head back to signal Werther to let him run more.
They are all skeletons and undead creatures. Avak thinks that he is much more advanced than these corpses, and he wants to trample those lowly things with his hooves.
Werther did not do as he wished, and when he came near the Northern Cavalry, he returned it to the Soul Cairn. Because the horses of the Northern Cavalry were too short-sighted to recognize it, they were all pacing in the same place restlessly.
The mage's hands held two ice coffins and walked to the direwolf flag: "How much loss have you suffered?"
"We fell into the trap of the White Walkers, and a quarter of the cavalry and two-thirds of the horses died." A knight replied.
"As long as a person is alive, a horse can be ridden after three years of birth." Witte looked in the direction: "Where are the mages? I have to give these two things to them."
Only mages can handle the ice coffin with the magic circle, and Werther dare not leave it to ordinary people.
"Lord Ed, he.
"The knight pointed in the direction.
Werther looked over and saw that there were undulating hills, not a battlefield, and there was no sign of anyone: "Ed? What happened to him?"
"Lord Ed is dead." After the knight finished speaking, no one around him dared to make a sound. There were only the heavy breathing sounds of men and horses and the white mist they exhaled.
"Dead? Where is the body? Take me to see it quickly!" When Werther was in the sky, he saw a purple shadow rushing towards the west. Jon Snow was following Ed. How could he die?
The knight led Werther over several small hills and came to a relatively flat open space. A large number of northerners gathered here, and there were at least five or six families looking at the flags.
The knights handed over their horses to the infantry and led Werther towards the middle of the crowd.
"Duke Werther is here!"
Someone shouted. The onlookers of the northern knights looked at Witte, and the crowded crowd took the initiative to move out of the way.
In the middle of the crowd stood several old northern nobles and their children, the long swords in their hands thrust into the snow with their tips pointed down.
Robb and Jon are cleaning up Eddard's body.
Eddard's breastplate was taken off and put aside. Jon used a knife to pick away the threads on Eddard's clothes and was sewing his sleeves. Robb took off his gloves, picked up the snow from the ground and wiped Eddard's face.
Werther walked up to the two of them, raised his head to signal the people around him not to speak, and looked down at the two of them quietly.
The dead Ed had no right arm, and his face was very ugly. He was pale in a way that even humans who had lost too much blood did not have. His neck and face were exposed, and the blood vessels under his skin showed a strange blue color.
After Robb and Jon finished the simple processing and put Eddard's breastplate back on, they slowly stood up.
"Teacher Witte."
Werther nodded with a serious expression: "When was Ed stabbed by the White Walker's ice spear?"
Robb: "My father immediately pulled out the spear after he was stabbed. His body could still continue to fight, but he did not go to the mage for treatment in time."
Jon: "After I found my adoptive father, I found that the magic of ice was eroding his body. I immediately cut off his arm, but the wound was too close to the heart and it was too late."
When he was in Winterfell, the note that Werther ordered the northern nobles to send to all soldiers stated that the most serious injury was being stabbed by a White Walker's spear.
The ice spear contains a huge amount of ice magic and something that Werther doesn't know. It is a kind of compound magic. Coupled with the huge force when it is shot, even the scales of the young dragon can be penetrated. Even Werther himself has to
A variety of magic must be used in combination to achieve a hard hit. What's more deadly is that if you don't use magic to resist after being stabbed, the weird magic above will continue to erode the body.
However, the Great Wall had always been fighting ghouls before. People held weapons made of obsidian and silver to guard against ghouls and vampires, two things they had seen and fought before, but had never come into contact with humans.
The information about the White Walkers was ignored.
Ed thought it was just an ordinary penetrating wound. For his own glory, he drank the healing potion and continued to lead the knights in the battle. The gradually healing wound caused him to miss the time to go to the mage for treatment.
"This is a battlefield. Robb, please take some people to return Ed's body to the fortress first." Witte waved his hand, and two ice coffins floated over the heads of the crowd.
Werther said solemnly: "I captured a white ghost and a vampire alive. Robb, you are responsible for bringing them back. Remember, you have to make sure they are alive before I come back, and don't let people who are eager for revenge kill them."
Got it!"
Robb nodded.
"This is the first White Walker to be captured alive. Maybe this is the key to unlocking their bodies and magic!" Werther was also worried that Robb would kill the White Walkers on impulse, so he raised his hand and put it between Robb and Jon.
On the shoulders of others: "When I finish my research, I will let them be buried with Ed."
