Chapter 421 Cold God PriestNight King didn't send even half a ghoul to Ice Gorge Harbor direction to go.
There is no emotional reason for making this decision, and it is purely based on rational considerations: 1. Ice Gorge Port is in the west, and it has no strategic significance for oneself. Attacking it will cause the ghoul army to move away from the Wall in the opposite direction. 2. There are too few people in Bingxia Port, but they are all fighters. If they attack this fortress, the troops they can get after winning are far less than the possible price.
Humans call them Others, but Night King oneself knows that he and his subordinates are not irrational ghosts-their real identity is the priest of Cold God, one of the only two True Gods in the world. A human walker and spokesperson, the executor of wills and needs.
As the leader of all Cold God priests, all behaviors of oneself should completely abandon emotional factors such as hatred, disgust, and longing, and take the realization of the grand goal of oneself god as the first and at the same time. It is also the only criterion.
He is not the creation of Cold God - the Children of the Forest first created oneself as a machine for war against humans. After an indeterminate period of time without self-awareness, that great being awakened oneself's sanity, endowed oneself with reason and ability to think, guided him away from the maker and controller, and provided him with a A grander and nobler goal: to eliminate the killing and restore the world to its original cold, orderly and peaceful appearance!
That's right, the living will never believe: the oneself made as a killing machine...the King of the Others they call the Night King, but hate killing.
His most hated Children of the Forest are a thing of the past, however, the greed and violent factors that ingest, compete for resources, copy and spread oneself's genetic material are deeply buried in the genes of every living creature , they have no cure at all. In order to solve this problem, the god proposed the most fundamental solution: destroy all living things in the world. When life completely disappears, killing will naturally cease to exist!
......
And to achieve this, and to accomplish the ultimate goal of overpowering R'hllor and taking control of this world, what Cold God needs now is to destroy Wall's Magic as soon as possible. Insulation effect to unleash his power from the Lands of Always Winter to all of Westeros.
Because—those three dragons will return to the battlefield anytime to fight alongside the living men who guard the Wall!
Cold God is not afraid of dragons, let alone human armies. Compared with powerful fighting machines like his priests that rely on magic power to maintain their shape, living people are only potential puppet soldiers, and the symbol of Magic in the eyes of humans is nothing more than a flying lizard. The dragon's flame, which is said to have a magic breaker effect, is nothing more than a hot wind that makes them sweat to the priests.
Any enemy in the world is clay chickens and pottery dogs as long as they are willing to expend magic power - provided that the priests are soaked in the thick Cold God power and have a sufficient and continuously source of power.
However, with Wall Magic still in effect, Cold God priests ventured across the dividing line into within the wall, like fish jumping ashore - and fish have difficulty getting oxygen from the air In the same way, the Cold God priests in the south of the wall cannot obtain the "cold magic power" that they depend on for a living.
Whether it is a human army or a dragon, it has no difficulty to deal with alone, but if you fight against both at the same time while the Wall's magic power shield is still in effect, it is like a fish on the shore. Because of the difficulty in breathing and fighting with terrestrial creatures, the winning rate is quite slim!
The only way to break the game is to capture Nightfort before the three human-controlled dragons return, destroy the Magic in the ice wall, and destroy the dam that blocks the cold magic power - flooding the entire Westeros with "water"!
As long as the massive Cold God's power penetrates the Wall and is released to the south, there will be no power in the world that can stop the Cold God's pace!
So now army not only has to go in the right direction, but also fast!

The Night's Watch has a defensive plan, and the Night King also has an offensive plan.
After successfully crossing the Gorge, the first thing the Others did was to lay siege from all sides, and set up humans at the "gorge lookout" at the midpoint of the Gorge - the small, wooden, Temporary strongholds that came to transfer combat readiness and personnel were removed.
In this tough battle, Night King saw the use of new human weapons for the first time: those small spherical objects did not create a green fire sea like Wildfire after blasting, but Splashing out countless shards of frozen fire, one can threaten a large area, severing the connection between dozens of the living dead and the Others.
This new threat, which has never been seen before, was quickly projected into every priest's mind through Night King's Magic induction. Stay away from the walls and try to rely on the living dead instead of going into battle... to stay safe from this new weapon as much as possible. If it is really necessary to get close, Ice Armor must be condensed on the body surface to prevent the damage of freezing fire.
The entry of Dragonglass bombs into the battle made the Night King consume far more than the expected number of living dead in the process of taking the canyon, but this is after all a temporary stronghold rather than a permanent fortress, not as high as a deep ditch. With strong bases and sufficient combat preparation, after desperately resisting for half an hour and barely replacing thousands of ghouls, they were helplessly overwhelmed by corpses.
After killing more than a thousand human defenders who had shrunk into the stronghold and turned them into puppets, the Others began to command the ghoul army to carry out the second mission: to defend the last batch of sporadic soldiers on both sides of the mountain road. Weirwood is completely uprooted and destroyed.
Although the Wall still stands, after clearing the weak point on the flank of the canyon, the power of Cold God can slowly and continuously penetrate into the south of the Wall through this opening of several dozen li. If the original recovery speed of the magic power of Others beyond the wall is 100, and within the wall is 0, then completely destroying the Weirwood forest on both sides of the canyon is to instantly realize the change from "0" to "1" qualitative change. This small gap, like a wave that is constantly rushing ashore over a dike - is not sufficient, but slowly and continuously provides the Others with the minimum energy guarantee for their actions south of the wall.
Although magic power still needs to be saved, at least there is no need to worry about being completely exhausted at all times, unable to maintain the shape and disappeared.
In front of the huge number, thousands of Weirwood trees were emptied in an instant, bathed in the thin Cold God power gradually infiltrating, the Others led the dead army to start the last battle before the Wall. Preparation: Build gentle slopes overnight at the flattest part of the canyon, for those who are still stuck at the bottom of the canyon, unable to climb the canyon because of their body structure or size... corpse mammoths, Giant, etc. exist pass through.
This trip goes east to attack Nightfort. On the way, there are several strong human fortresses that need to be removed. Although the strong human city cannot withstand a single blow in front of the Cold God priests, it needs to be saved in magic power. Under these circumstances, Night King believes: oneself will use these thick-skinned "heavy weapons"... to do some rough work.
Cold God's servants also understand the truth of sharpening an axe does not delay the work of chopping firewood, Shadow Tower and Ice Gorge Harbor are trembling with fear, but the ghoul army spends It was only in the middle of the night that all the preparations were done, and the grandiose turned around, lined up in a long queue, and started heading towards Wall.
