Chapter 437
2021-01-06
Chapter 437.Wonders with two Dragonsteel bombs contributed to the continuation of the Battle of Queenscrown The time can be described as short, whether it is Wildfire, Dragonglass or ordinary bombs, they can still support a moderate intensity battle. The only thing to pay attention to is the number of Lightbringer and the number of soldiers that can be attacked.
The Dragonsteel fragments scattered in the snow and the remains of the ghouls are a nonsense to recover, but those still intact Lightbringers can be found because the arrow shaft is gold-coated and the shape is completely different from the ordinary arrow. Due to practical difficulties such as fire and chaos, the soldiers finally managed to find only nineteen arrows after a cursory search, including the six made of ordinary Valyrian Steel and ten still preserved in the unoccupied fortresses along the Wall. a few. In the end, Night's Watches had more than thirty weapons that could be used directly against Others.
In the city defense battle, lightly wounded, half-aged teenagers, stronger middle-aged and young women, and even giants with limited mobility can participate in the battle, but if you want to take the initiative to attack, you must be completely healthy and physically strong. Only strong, military-trained adult humans who understand and understand tactical commands can do the job. Even if the conditions are slightly relaxed and the threshold is lowered in the actual audit, the entire Queenscrown can meet the requirements at the moment only in the early 3000s. Considering the enemy's possible killing of the sudden thrust operation and the basic security and stability inside the town, a certain amount of reliable The person, in the end, can only use three thousand.
Fortunately, two thousand of the remaining fortresses along the Wall can be collected. In total, Igor's available troops can reach five thousand in this southern pursuit.
……
In theory, it is the safest solution to wait for the troops along the Wall to join, and the Queen also rides a dragon to return to the land grant and then set off, but the remaining ghouls Others Without and the others, Daenerys' three dragons couldn't carry thousands of soldiers. With every delay, the enemy moved an inch further from Queenscrown, and a few inches closer to the increasingly dense North's hinterland—the less hoped that the Others would be stopped before they could kill and injure civilians to replenish themselves. The Queenscrown troops set off immediately with combat preparations and provisions, and let the small groups of soldiers from all over the Wall chase after them lightly, and let the flying Queen find them to meet them, so as to make the best use of time and maximize the odds of winning.
Mobilize all the remaining animal power of Queenscrown to transport combat preparations and food and grass, and send crows to the fortresses along the Wall to immediately send elite troops with the remaining Dragonsteel arrows to lightly assemble south along Kingsroad, Igor asked to choose this time The soldiers who were brought to pursue the remaining Others gathered in the snow outside the east gate and began to assemble the whole team.

What are the disadvantages of people who accept "Heroes" and "Child of Prophecy"?
If the odds and ends of the troubles are not to be counted, there is probably only one uncontroversial one: when the disaster is really approaching, this hero has to stand up and bear his teeth - whether he can bear it or not.
As the Night's Watch Legion Lord Commander and Land Granter, Igor can send people to patrol the North, de-ice the Bay of Seals, freeze at the Gorge and even help North build ships in the Bay of Ice...
Relying on his great fame and prestige, any orders he issued, any ideas and plans produced can be conveyed, put into practice and turned into reality twice the results for half the effort.
But he is impossible to guard the Queenscrown and chase down the remaining Others, the final finale, and let others play.
These are not trivial chores, but a principled difference between "give me" and "me"!
If he also stayed in the inner fort and commanded remotely during last night's Queenscrown defense, it is impossible for the guards with uneven quality and unpopular hearts to exert super-level battle strength; if he even chases and flees south Enemies all assign their generals to be responsible instead of leading them personally... Whether the soldiers who are selected are willing to obediently "send to death" is a problem, even if they win - it is not his credit. Once people start to ask: "What did you, the Child of Prophecy, the legendary hero, do?", can he use the government affairs that he normally handles, the food, grass, and armaments that are his duties to answer?
If you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back.

Wearing a full set of armor, Igor sighed helplessly, but facing the three thousand Queenscrown "elites" who had gathered together, But quickly made a serious expression like devotion to righteousness that inspires reverence, ready to be generous at any time.
This time, instead of passively defending, they will take the initiative to attack, which is an extra content that was not included in the plan. He had to do a pre-battle mobilization before he set off, which was necessary.
"Heroic Land Grant Warriors!" Igor said loudly with all his strength, making sure that the voice of oneself could be heard by everyone, "Last night, we worked with a common purpose and won an unprecedented battle in human history. The great battle we've ever fought. Repulsed ten times our inhuman enemies and inflicted more damage on them than even the entire population of the land grantors, and gave this bunch a fiercely slap in the face!"
"But today, I have to make a very difficult but necessary decision... After only a few hours of rest, I will pull you warriors to continue the fight - take the initiative to chase after the attack by us last night. The ruthless enemy who retreated!"
Amid the uproar and exclamations of the soldiers, Igor increased his volume again: "But what I want to emphasize is: this dangerous southern expedition is not for the purpose of Save or protect anyone, but for us oneself!"
What to say to this gang of rough people who are a mixture of mountain clans and beyond the wall people "for the sake of Westeros people's service" is undoubtedly a waste of effort, and the team will disperse every minute if there is no trouble. Igor chose to analyze the stakes most directly, explaining why.
"I, like everyone else, longed to sleep peacefully within the walls of Queenscrown, expecting to wake up to hear the good news that the Others had been wiped out. Regrettably , this is impossible!" Igor used a distressed tone: "Those weak 'Southerners' have no idea how powerful the enemy they are about to face! Whether it is psychological, physical, or even tactical and equipment, they have not done anything at all. Get ready! I don't want it to be true, but the truth is - this continent, and the whole world, only we can win against those goddamn bastards!"
In a sense, the bragging and flattering that was basically the truth successfully aroused the pride of the soldiers. Many Warriors clapped their chests and shouted, suppressing the doubts and fearful murmurs.
"There are a lot of new land grantors out there who have been fighting these monsters north of the Wall since years ago, and no one knows our enemies better than you. Those damn demons and ghosts, as long as they don't. Destroy them completely, even if one is left, there will only be more and more... Today, we are greedy for temporary stability and comfort and let them go south, and tomorrow thousands of southerners will be killed by them. Transform into a new enemy. No matter how stupid, weak, stubborn, or incompetent a corpse is, it will be just as difficult to deal with when it becomes a living dead! If you don't want to wake up one day in a few months and find yourself surrounded by millions of ghouls Overwhelmed, we must grit our teeth to pursue them today and defeat them completely!"
"This battle is neither for the glory of me, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, nor for the sake of any great man in the South. Lords and people of kings, but to protect our oneself and everyone's wives and children, and to ensure that our descendants still have the right to breathe and sunbathe on this land!" Igor drew his sword to the sky for oneself's brief pre-battle Mobilization made the final conclusion, "The enemy wants to freeze our land, hurt our relatives, and enslave our bodies... We will completely destroy them, leaving none!"
"Not one! "
"Not a single one!"
Under the leadership of the logistics officers who had already integrated into the crowd, soon, the soldiers present took up arms whether they wanted to or not. Responding to the reconciliation, there was an untidy but still imposing shout from outside the Queenscrown wall.
The commotion lasted ten, twenty seconds... Igor started waving his hands for silence, so he could officially order his departure. But the scene somehow couldn't calm down. One minute passed and there were still people discussing spiritedly. Instead, the volume became more and more intense, making Igor both embarrassed and a little confused: the morale of the big victory is understandable, but this After all, taking the initiative to attack is extremely dangerous, why are these rough guys still in high spirits, making it seem that this mobilization speech by Oneself is not incoherent?
A few seconds later, Igor figured out the reason with the reminder of the guard next to him: in the south in the sky, which was moved towards by oneself, three black dots appeared in the background of the gray cloud, only this The dozens of seconds that everyone shouted in unison was close to the point where they could clearly see the shape—the soldiers suddenly responded enthusiastically, not for the "wonderful" speech that oneself didn't even type in the draft, but for the sake of being here. The most critical moment appears in time, which can be called the Queen of provide timely help...or three dragons.
