Eight hundred and seventieth chapters before the war
And if the main force of the human coalition is wiped out in Qohor, the entire continent of Essos will no longer have any resistance that can stop the Night King's army from sweeping across.
By then, whether Viserys died on the Essos continent or escaped back, he would have to accept the result that the Eastern Continent had fallen and became a restricted area for life.
At that time, the pressure faced by the empire would come from all aspects, whether from outside the Great Wall in the north or from enemies on the sea.
The final result may be like the ancient and powerful Kingdom of Dawn in the East in history, which collapsed in the long night.
At that time, there may be a hero like Azor Ahai who will stand up to save the entire world, or it may be destroyed.
But this was unacceptable to Viserys.
Therefore, as the two sides of the game, and the people who are playing the game, Viserys and the Night King are the ones who have the clearest understanding of the entire situation.
The teleportation arrays buried deep underground in Braavos are the White Walkers' backhand and trump card. They wait for the main force of the human coalition to be attracted to move westward and suddenly open it, hoping to directly destroy these densely populated important human cities on the west coast of the Essos continent.
Viserys's trump card is the eight dragons under his command. In terms of top-level combat power, even though the Night King has received help from several ice dragons, he is no match for Viserys.
Viserys has been patiently waiting for the Night King to take the lead in revealing his trump card, and then mobilize the other dragons to participate in this war and end this war once and for all.
And now, this opportunity has finally arrived.
From two directions, with Braavos and Loras on one side and the hinterland of the central Essos continent on the other, the White Walkers began to encircle the main coalition force in Qohor.
They want to eliminate all human resistance in one battle. After all, the White Walkers now have a strategic advantage, and the number of corpses is many times that of the human army.
And Viserys also didn't want to drag it out any longer, and decided to break out a decisive battle with the White Walkers in Qohor, because the White Walkers firing guns in the east and west would put too much pressure on humans, and especially because of the existence of the Long Night.
It has almost destroyed all human social structures except the major city-states, and civilization has begun to collapse, retreating and shrinking significantly.
Therefore, the White Walkers don't want to drag it out, and the humans don't want it either.
The joint headquarters of Viserys and Qohor had actually known for a long time that the White Walkers were encircling them.
They could have retreated to the south before the White Walkers' encirclement was completed, strategically abandoned Qohor to avoid the White Walkers' encirclement, and continued to struggle with the White Walkers.
But unfortunately, time does not wait for us, and there is not much time left for mankind. Therefore, even though the coalition forces know that this battle has a narrow chance of death, they must still face the enemy head-on.
They are still firmly rooted in Qohor, and they seize the time to deploy defenses and prepare defensive counterattacks. They are like nails that attract the White Walkers to come and chew them. Even if they can chew them down, they will have to break a few of their teeth.
So in a sense, Viserys and the Night King have a tacit understanding.
"It's impossible to defeat them in a head-to-head confrontation."
"Our enemies are numerous, tireless and unafraid of death."
In the Supreme Military Council of the Human Alliance in Qohor, the acting commander-in-chief of the alliance was Bessie Joyce, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army, Governor of Pentos, and Captain of the Kingsguard of Viserys.
The 'Iron Masked God of War' used the prestige he won in the Battle of Nasighar to quickly secure his position as commander of the coalition forces, so no one will question his orders and authority now.
After all, in addition to the prestige accumulated from the victory of Nasighar, the imperial army directly under Bessie is also the absolute main force in the coalition. The imperial army has the largest number and the strongest combat effectiveness.
Compared with the elite troops of the empire, the armies of other city-states are like a ragtag group. Just standing together, their energy and spirit have dropped a lot.
The imperial army is well-equipped and disciplined. The commanders of the army are also outstanding students who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy. They are officers from all ranks of the army in the war of conquest. They have systematically studied command strategies and have rich experience in actual combat.
Experience, after all, Westeros has been in constant turmoil and war for the past ten years.
In the now dark headquarters, the imperial army commanders wearing black and red armors were all sitting upright, with their helmets placed on the table in front of them.
The commanders of other city-states were in a mess, wearing all kinds of clothes and armors, and some were colorfully dressed like a male peacock seeking mating, and they were constantly whispering to each other.
"It's impossible to hold on even if you stick to it. This has been proven before at the Great Wall, Winterfell, and Moat Cailin."
The Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms lost consecutive battles in Westeros, and the history of blood and tears warned future generations that blindly defending in the face of the White Walkers' attack is also a way to die.
"Then what are we going to do?"
And a white-haired old man from the Volantis Tiger Party Consul, who was also the commander of the Tiger Robe Army, frowned and then spoke.
"We can't beat it head-on, and we can't defend it to the death. So if we stay here, aren't we going to die?"
"And where did the Emperor go? Without the help of the dragon, we would have no chance of winning."
Viserys has been away from the base camp for a while. Without seeing him for such a long time, the morale of the coalition forces will inevitably fluctuate. After all, the dragon is the source of confidence and confidence for the human coalition forces to resist the White Walkers.
Even within the imperial army, some other voices gradually emerged. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor abandoned them and fled to the Summer Sea.
Because the long night brings pressure to human beings in all aspects. There is no light and no hope. Therefore, people's hearts will inevitably become irritable, depressed, and breed chaos.
"Your Majesty is on the way now and will be back soon."
However, he was questioned by the army commander of the Volantis city-state. As the commander of the coalition forces, the man wore silver armor and a silver metal mask, with only a pair of eyes exposed. He glanced at the white-haired old man, and then
The voice spoke calmly.
"Your Majesty has brought back more dragons from Westeros this time, including Vhagar, Terex, Meraxes, etc., in order to ensure the victory of this war."
"real?"
After hearing Bessie Joyce's words, everyone in the Qohor coalition conference room couldn't help but whisper, and the atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic.
"That's great!"
"Praise be to His Majesty the Great Emperor Viserys I!"
"With five giant dragons here, this war will definitely be won!"
"Burn these sons of bitches!"
Even Benero, the supreme priest of the Red God Sect, couldn't help but smile slightly on his face.
