As the representative of Braavos at the headquarters of the Qohor coalition, there is a keykeeper named Besaro.
The Keykeeper is an official of the Braavos Iron Bank and a descendant of the twenty-three founders of the Iron Bank. Therefore, if anyone is qualified to represent Braavos at the coalition headquarters, then the Keykeeper must be
Such qualifications.
Yesterday, news was delivered to Besaro. Braavos's invincible fleet, riding the wind and waves, had taken the lead in arriving at their combat sea area, cutting off the White Walkers' retreat to Ibben Island, and burning the ships they used to cross the sea.
However, the fleet of Braavos was advancing blindly and arduously on the sea, and encountered other troubles before they even touched the edge of Iban Island.
That is, some marine creatures began to attack ships.
As the name suggests, Whale Bay is a bay in the Shivering Sea. It is located on the southwest coast of Iban Island, where many small islands of Iban are located. The sea water here is warm, and there are huge and gentle marine giants living here all year round. Therefore, the powerful Iban
People also have a tradition of hunting whales.
However, these gentle ocean overlords who live deep under the sea suddenly seem to go crazy and start attacking human ships. They ram and push up the Braavos naval fleet.
At the same time, some other sea creatures also participated, such as sea monsters that resembled the Greyjoy family crest, schools of fish, arthropods, etc. They spread their teeth and claws and stretched out their tentacles to sweep over the human soldiers on the deck.
The Armada of Braavos was caught off guard when it encountered a sudden attack, but it was still an elite force after all. After reacting, it began to fight back, using the giant crossbow on the ship to kill some sea monsters and whales, and then dragged them with them.
The severely injured fleet retreated towards the Ober Peninsula.
"The sea is no longer safe?"
"Could it be that the White Walkers can even control the corpses of sea creatures?"
The words of the representative of Braavos made everyone in the Qohor coalition headquarters have different expressions. Some people asked in surprise, while others did not speak, but shook their heads slightly.
How fresh.
It has been known for a long time that there are creatures other than humans in the Army of the Dead. During the first war between humans and the White Walkers in Westeros, the corpses of ice spiders, mammoths, direwolves and other beasts were found.
There is a precedent of being controlled by the White Walkers and participating in the war.
During the second war between humans and the White Walkers, the shadow of the ice dragon even appeared on the Essos continent.
Although this ice dragon only appeared once, when it attacked Iban Island, the survivors all claimed to have seen an ice dragon hovering over Iban Port, spitting ice-blue flames and cold mist to kill it.
many people.
However, so far, there is no second sighting record of this ice dragon, but it is obvious that ice dragons are more troublesome than those ice spiders, direwolves and other creatures.
The strength of the White Walkers has become stronger after a period of precipitation, which is a fact that is obvious to all.
Because this ice dragon has not appeared again since the attack on Iban Island, the human coalition currently does not know where this ice dragon has gone.
It is also for this reason that Viserys did not dare to bring all the dragons over. Instead, he left two adult dragons on the Great Wall. Viserion and Rhaegal were controlled by his two wives. King's Landing
Five young dragons were left there.
Although everyone at the Human Alliance Headquarters was speechless, everyone still looked slightly uneasy after hearing such bad news.
You must know that many of the coalition's supplies and soldiers still rely on sea transportation, especially the support of the Valyrian Empire, the main force of the human coalition, for this war.
The White Walkers can control marine life, and the fact that the sea is no longer safe is definitely very bad news for humans, and it also poses a certain obstacle to the integration of the coalition forces.
Many representatives of various countries and city-states present even secretly made up their minds not to take the sea route for the sake of their own lives in the future.
Although the land is also full of dangers, it is generally safer than the sea. Human beings have a natural distrust of the moody sea. What's more, now we know what kind of monsters are hidden under the deep sea?
Viserys was also in this pre-war meeting, but he rarely spoke, but everyone present frequently turned their attention to him.
Because everyone knows that the key to this war lies with Viserys, and he is also the supreme commander of the entire human coalition and has the right to mobilize the armies of all countries and city-states.
"There is another question worth noting, everyone."
"That's why the White Walkers did not choose to attack Vaes Dothraki directly after landing in New Isth, but instead moved towards the Kingdom of Ifverlon, the Ober Peninsula, and the Kingdom of Sarol in the west."
Viserys pondered for a moment and then spoke, and his words made everyone present look at each other. They really had not noticed this problem before.
"Could it be that the White Walkers also know that the Dothraki are not easy to mess with?"
Then one person spoke, but others shook their heads. The Dothraki were not easy for them to deal with and they beat up their neighbors, but the White Walkers were unlikely to be afraid of the Dothraki's fighting power.
Viserys frowned slightly, and then tapped his finger on the map twice without saying anything. He had an answer in his heart. This was also the experience he summarized after fighting the White Walkers last time.
It doesn't seem that easy for the White Walkers to attack south. They have to occupy most of the territory, or break through the limitations of the Red God's power.
The entire world is like a chessboard for gods to play against each other. Although on the surface it is a war between humans and ghosts, it is actually a competition between the cold god and the red god. The gods cannot personally intervene, and even have to rely on the performance of believers.
For example, the more territory the White Walkers conquer, the stronger the Cold God's power becomes. If humans drive away all the White Walkers, the Red God's power will gain the upper hand, and warmth will envelope the earth again.
In the last war between humans and the White Walkers, the White Walkers invaded south of the Neck in one fell swoop. If Viserys hadn't stepped up to turn the tide, the White Walkers would have almost destroyed Westeros, and then destroyed all of Westeros.
However, even the victory in that war was only a short-lived victory. The Night King retreated to recuperate, but the cold god's power still shrouded the entire north and continued to accumulate.
Braavos, which is on the same latitude as the Neck, even had heavy snowfall for several days, causing a snow disaster.
With the help of Melisandre, Viserys briefly communicated with her gods. With the help of the Red God, he saw the scene of the gods playing chess.
It was difficult for Viserys to tell exactly what the Red God was, but he was definitely not a person, just like a ball of self-aware will.
But such a magical experience not only did not make Viserys awe of the gods, but because it lifted the mysterious veil, he felt that the gods were not as scary as he imagined. They even needed to rely on changes in the world structure to consolidate
