After Viserys inspected the situation outside the city of Qohor, he took in some scenes. Apart from understanding the corrupt situation in the hinterland of the central Essos continent, the rest was that he felt a little heavy in his heart.
Although Viserys had seen the cruel side of this world for the first time since his escape from King's Landing, the situation outside Qohor was still worrying.
What he saw were ordinary people with sallow faces and skinny muscles, emaciated due to lack of food and clothing for a long time, but there were also a large number of corpses that could be seen everywhere on the roadside, some of which had turned into white bones, and there were obviously biting and tearing marks on them.
trace.
These bones were thin and petite, and they were obviously from women or children. It was difficult to imagine what happened to these people during their lives, and Viserys also saw half of thigh bones and arms in some people's residences.
Although the situation of cannibalism sounds horrifying, it does not seem to be uncommon in today's era. People will use any means to survive.
Viserys had been staying in King's Landing before, and because the empire was well prepared, even though the people were also hungry, the food distributed by the empire was only enough to prevent starvation, and they could only eat one meal a day.
However, the empire's major granaries have sufficient food stocked and the supply is stable, so there is no such situation yet. Although the people are a little dissatisfied, everyone can understand that it is a long night, but this stable situation in the empire is actually only temporary.
If the long night never dissipates, it will only be a matter of time before he ends up like Qohor.
However, even if the emerging Valyrian Empire collapses in the long night one day, it will only be slower than the city-states in the Eastern Continent.
With a heavy heart, Viserys turned his horse's head and returned to Qohor, while the dying man lying on the ground by the roadside was watching the last light fade away with empty eyes.
They are sick people and are not even qualified to be eaten.
After a great disaster there will be a great epidemic.
This is especially true when people start cannibalism. These people may have eaten their own kind, so as punishment, they have to suffer double torture before death, one is hunger, and the other is illness.
.
But the good thing is that they are not even qualified to be eaten. Everyone avoids them and hides far away, even the hungry people, and these people can only lie on the ground and watch the sky quietly waiting to die.
.
"Compared with the coming war, the situation outside is nothing but trivial."
Viserys returned to the city of Qohor, and the supreme priest of the Red God Cult came to chat with Viserys.
"The ancient gods have gathered enough power to engulf the entire world. The cold wind is blowing and there is a long night that will never end."
But after hearing what the red-robed monk said, Viserys still looked outside the city, and then withdrew his gaze and looked at him.
"So the High Priest believes these are necessary sacrifices for humanity to defeat the White Walkers?"
Benero was slightly silent after hearing Viserys's words. He didn't know how to respond to these words. The Red God Cult is world-famous and spreads widely among the slaves and people at the bottom. It promotes the belief in R'hllor.
Can survive the apocalypse in the future.
However, there are not a few Red God believers outside the city of Qohor. Even when Viserys just went out for a walk, we can see that there are still many people who have not given up hope in Allah, even though they are about to starve to death.
But they were still praying devoutly, but unfortunately the God they believed in did not respond to them.
"If the White Walkers appear outside the city of Qohor, these people will become our enemies."
Viserys somewhat understood why the war situation in the Eastern Continent had deteriorated to this point, because they were all fighting independently and did not form a unified strategy before the meeting representing all mankind to resist the White Walkers was held.
The last time Westeros faced a White Walker invasion was during the reign of King Robert. Although King Robert's ability to govern the country was limited, he still organized the largest migration operation in human history. The mighty Northern Territory
escape.
They directly drove all the northerners south of the Neck, with only soldiers from the Seven Kingdoms resisting on the front line. This directly greatly hindered the White Walkers from replenishing the Army of the Dead, and also reduced the pressure on the coalition soldiers to resist, and even
It laid the foundation for the subsequent Jedi counterattack by the human coalition forces in the Battle of the Green Fork.
Otherwise, if the White Walkers sweep across the North, then the mighty army of the dead will unstoppably sweep across the entire Westeros, and even the world, like a snowball that will get bigger and bigger until it is unstoppable.
situation.
And now Viserys has come to Qohor in person. It is still far away from the main battlefield between humans and the White Walkers, but the situation here is already very unoptimistic, especially since these people don't know how to resist the White Walkers.
He couldn't imagine what the situation was like in the main battlefield, the Kingdom of Ifverlon, the Kingdom of Ober and the Kingdom of Salor.
How many are the legions of the dead now? One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? Or millions.
As the Supreme Priest, Benero is definitely good at deceiving believers. He also possesses some magic and is considered a powerful mage. But as a ruler, a 'king' and a 'commander', he is obviously incompetent.
.
He was slightly stunned when he heard Viserys' words. He didn't react at first, but then he understood. His face turned slightly ugly and he turned to look outside the city.
Benero then said goodbye to Viserys, and then hurriedly left here to convey orders to the red-robed monks under him.
Soon after, the city gates of Qohor were opened wide, and the Unsullied soldiers rushed out, driving away the refugees who were surrounding the city of Qohor, and driving them away from the east.
And then a song spread among the refugees, that is, the long night only falls here, as long as you keep going to the south, there is warmth and sun.
When Viserys asked Benero to drive away the refugees surrounding Qohor, it was actually not to deny them a way to survive.
But now that disaster has struck, this is one of the necessary means. As he said, "necessary sacrifice", he was not mocking Benero's hypocrisy, but was saying this seriously.
If these people are not driven away, they will still die when the White Walkers attack Qohor, and they will still fight for the Night King. This is unacceptable to the coalition forces who want to defeat the Night King.
And even if you don't drive them away, you may not be able to survive much longer. If you are surrounded outside the city of Kohol, you will die. It is better to go somewhere else and maybe there is some way to survive.
