Although Bear Island is also located north of Winterfell, it survived because it is an island.
This also just confirms Balon Greyjoy's conjecture of the Iron Islands, that is, these dead people can't swim!
Bear Island could have stayed away and watched the excitement like the Iron Islands, but Jorah Mormont, Earl of Bear Island, responded to the call and actively participated in the war against the White Walkers.
But such a person suddenly ran into trouble at this moment. It turned out that Jorah Mormont had been secretly selling slaves.
This matter was originally well hidden, but it was exposed because of this war.
In order to make money to satisfy his greedy wife, Jorah sold the poachers to Tyrosh as slaves, and the slave trade was illegal in the North.
Ed Stark captured Jorah for this and wanted to sentence him to death. The old Earl of Bear Island, Jeor Mormont, who had joined the Night Watch, originally wanted to find the Lord to intercede, but came to Star
I raised my hand in front of Duke K's door but couldn't knock it down.
He knew that his son had committed a capital crime, and Lord Ed was a selfless person.
What's more, in what capacity should I intercede for Jorah? He has already given up his title of Bear Island and became the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch.
This incident caused quite a stir in Winterfell, the second line of defense built by mankind, which was fully prepared for war. Everyone was watching Duke Eddard's actions with cold eyes.
Jorah took the lead in the Battle of the Wall, killing an unknown number of wights, and made great achievements. However, as soon as he followed the army back to Winterfell, he was captured by his lord and wanted to be hanged on the gallows.
die.
However, this matter continued to ferment for a while, and the old Mormont did not intercede for his son, but Jorah Mormont did not die in the end, and the danger was miraculously averted.
It turns out that King Robert rescued Jorah from the siege.
He helped this warrior who had taken the lead in the Battle of Pyke Island, thinking that now was the time to employ people. He had just sold a few damn people in the past and had not done so again, so he should not be punished.
Therefore, Robert asked Eddard Stark to release Jorah, but the upright Lord Stark refused.
King Robert was furious. He personally pardoned Jorah and asked Eddard Stark to release him.
Then Jorah Mormont walked out of the Winterfell prison unscathed.
The king's move immediately aroused unanimous praise from the soldiers of the Seven-Nation Alliance present. People chanted the king's name and toasted to him.
The sluggish morale of the coalition forces during this period has also been somewhat alleviated due to this incident, and they have become more united.
However, Ed Stark, who became the villain in this story, never opened his mouth to explain anything from beginning to end, even if some people would criticize and point fingers behind his back.
…
The Legion of the Dead crossed the Great Wall, and a guerrilla war between humans and the dead began.
The human coalition seized the opportunity when the Legion of the Dead began to divide its forces, and took the initiative to attack in all directions, encircling and annihilating the enemy's small forces, with each winning or losing among them.
Randyll Tarly, the famous general of the Reach, killed a White Walker with his family's Valyrian steel sword Heartbreaker, becoming the second person to kill a White Walker after King Robert.
However, bad news also came. Everyone stationed in the Dreadfort fell and became fresh corpses. Black Walder and the Frey family soldiers who rushed to support were attacked by the White Walkers.
Walder Frey was trampled into a pulp by a giant wight mammoth, and he couldn't even buckle out of it. He was not even qualified to become a wight.
Roose Bolton, the Earl of the Dreadfort, was so cunning that he led the knights of the Dreadfort in a large circle without rushing home, so he survived.
The war between humans and the legions of the dead continues on this land, with fighting, ambushes, fires, etc. Human beings have used all their strategies to try to stop the White Walkers.
However, the Legion of the Dead did not have any tactics and only used one move, which was to keep advancing and reach the base camp of the human alliance in a simple and crude manner.
The second line of defense for the human coalition, Winterfell, has long been ready.
The soldiers gathered their strength and the knights were brightly armored. They swore that this time they would defeat the White Walkers at the foot of Winterfell, protect the safety of the people of the Seven Kingdoms behind them, regain the lost land, and drive all the damn demons back to the Great Wall.
outside.
People north of the Neck generally do not believe in the Seven Gods. However, the Archbishop who stayed at the Starry Cathedral in Oldtown still appointed three archbishops to rush to Winterfell to pray for the mercy of the Seven Gods and bring the Holy Light to this heretical land.
.
The people in the north didn't stop them, they just prayed silently that the old gods could hear their prayers.
Nowadays, the people of the North are in a desperate situation. No matter which god they come from, the people of the North are willing to believe in it as long as they can help.
However, it is a pity that perhaps the Seven Gods are not willing to come to this land where people generally do not believe in the Seven Gods. In the words of fanatical monks, heretics are everywhere.
It seems that the old gods have really been forgotten by the years, and the desperate prayers of the people of the North have not received any response.
August, 292 Aegon.
More than half of the new year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the tragic defeat of the Great Wall is still fresh in our minds, but the White Walkers have once again arrived at the wall.
Soon war broke out.
The human coalition experienced the last setback, and this time it showed stronger resilience and tenaciously resisted the attack of the Army of the Dead.
At the same time, more fire oil and fire arrows were prepared in an attempt to use flames to defeat these enemies who should have entered the seven levels of hell.
However, ordinary flames were not enough to defeat these terrifying enemies. The Night King extinguished a piece of flame and created a road of ice. Countless flame-fearing corpses poured in from here, instantly defeating the coalition's front line.
After the allied forces were defeated, they fled into Winterfell. However, the city walls and gates were not enough to stop the dead men for too long. In the end, the dead men used their teeth and body to break open the gate.
The dead people lying under the city wall stepped on the corpses of their companions and climbed up the city wall crazily, knocking down the human soldiers, and then jumped into Winterfell.
The night was dark, the biting cold wind blew the billowing smoke, and the flames burned in Winterfell and illuminated the entire dark sky.
The North Gate and the Godswood fell one after another.
Next is the ruined tower, the first fort and the weapons depot.
"kill!"
The coalition soldiers and the Legion of the Dead launched a fierce street battle in Winterfell, fighting to the death.
As a family member of this castle, Mrs. Stark Catelyn held her youngest son Brandon and held her youngest daughter Arya.
At the same time, he took the other three children, Robb, Jon and Sansa, and hurriedly boarded the carriage and prepared to flee towards the south.
"King's Landing!"
"Catelyn, take our children and flee to King's Landing!"
“The further south the better!”
The Duke of Winterfell, Eddard Stark, was covered in blood, holding the Valyrian sword Ice, holding his wife's head tightly with his palms and placing it on his own forehead, panting and speaking loudly.
The graceful, luxurious and tough woman couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.
"No matter what happens, don't come back, keep running south, keep running south..."
"If King's Landing falls, flee to Storm's End. If Storm's End also falls, flee to Pentos by ship."
