Chapter 447 The end is a new beginningIgor did not match the arrow technique tournament champion and two high The rank Red God priest was also sent to deal with the corpse dragon, because he had another equally important mission and mission - to ensure the safety of the Queen, compared to destroying the enemy.
An Gai's nickname of "divine archer" is not in vain. He was separated by dozens of meters outside the range of Black Dragon's accidental injury. With only a little firelight, he could use it like a stroll in the courtyard. Dragonglass arrows will climb up the dragon's back to threaten the Queen's ghoul one after another shoots down, the arrow will hit the target, and will never hurt half of the dragon's scales... If you are really in the dead end of shooting, let the two red robe Sorcerers shoot more spells Take some cost to eliminate, if you cooperate with each other and complement each other, the threat will become invisible.
Under the circumstance that the participation of the three dragons in the battle greatly boosted the morale and attracted the attention of the Others, the land-grant army who finally arrived at the battlefield picked up a big bargain, in a spurt of energy, even Igor destroyed the enemy's line before he had time to kill the enemy and set an example. When the corpse dragon disposes of the Squad, the new leader of the Others who will replace the role of the Night King will be completely eliminated, and this bloody attack under the control of Cold God will come to an end. After the regrouping, the North Army, who had come over to outflank, cooperated with the bits and pieces of the ghouls to destroy the large army of the ghouls. Therefore, we did not see the "thousands of ghouls falling down in a row" that appeared when Dragonsteel bombs killed the Night King. "A spectacular sight.
Although there is no "iconic" scene where the war is won at a glance, both Melisandre and Moqorro tell Igor with great certainty that all Others have been eliminated, plus the battlefield There is indeed no feedback from any soldiers in the direction to see the enemy fleeing - this war between people and ghosts is very likely to end, or at least come to an end.
＊＊＊
Igor's mission Perfection as "Lord Commander of the Night's Watch" is complete, but he is the tenth Westeros with considerable resources as land grantor The journey of the leader of the great powers is about to officially begin - one second ago, North was still the most reliable ally and an extremely solid backing, but the next second after the victory, he had to start thinking: how to deal with the former's unloading and killing the donkey .
After sending the soldiers back to Bran Stark to confirm that Others had no more a fish that escaped the net, he immediately followed the previous plan: before finishing the battlefield, he sent his henchmen to deploy a few elite Ranger squads, Head east to west into the forest, claiming to be "Searching for the Escaped Remnant".
"The second Others invasion, after a thousand years, was repelled in just five days" - that description doesn't sound dangerous at all. But in fact, in these short four days and five nights, Night's Watch's high frequency of passive + active combat, high casualty rate and high consumption of combat readiness, high intensity of combat, and thrilling twists and turns of the process, are definitely not inferior to any Westeros history. protracted war. For many reasons, Igor doesn't want to declare victory too soon - and these search squads will be the best cover:
These elite scouts will set off in full view, enter the forest and pretend to be Make a circle around the ground, and after a while, do not join the large force and return directly to Queenscrown, and report to the headquarters that "there is an enemy fleeing northward".
Igor will immediately "respond" to this news: ordering the Ice Gap Harbor and the Wall to send troops to try to intercept them, ensuring that the enemy is completely wiped out within the wall.
Of course, there is no way to stop the non-existent enemy. When the news that the front-line army has nothing to gain, the Night's Watch officer can easily announce that the remaining enemy has retracted beyond the wall, and is suspected to be preparing to accumulate strength. return in a swirl of dust.
The land grant could then justifiably remain at war and demand continued cooperation from North.
On the surface, everyone is still in peace for a short time, but in fact - the princes in the North still have all kinds of thoughts, ready to wait for oneself to completely eliminate the Others threat before liquidating and playing with rabbits and dead dogs. When it comes to tricks, the granting land is ready to send troops south to the stage of the Seven Kingdoms power struggle with incredible speed!
...
"Count the casualties as soon as possible, separate the corpses of the oneself from the ghouls, burn them and bury them on the spot. Don't clean up the residues, just leave them in place - in the future, here will be It will be the battlefield site of the 'Battle of Long Lake'. The remains of the enemy and allies buried here and the traces of the previous battle can prove to the world and later generations that Night's Watch and North once fought a battle involving human beings. The war in the future.”
The Black Dragon, who was covered in bruises and bruises, did not calm down even after the battle. To avoid accidental injury, Igor did not approach immediately, but stood outside the accidental injury range of the dragon’s breath and waited. While doing some miscellaneous aftermath arrangements.
The order to preserve the battlefield is not out of vanity or credit, nor is it purely out of political considerations, but to implement a view that Igor has always believed in and upheld: Doing good without expecting anything in return is noble , but it is stupid to do good deeds without letting people know!
Thousands of land-grant soldiers and civilians dashed on bravely with no thought of personal safety to take part in this war, if not all of their own accord, if not most of them with the nobility of "fighting for mankind" Faith, but this does not change the fact that they shed their blood and sacrificed to protect all mankind, they should and deserve to be remembered.
......
The small group of chasing troops took a short rest and marched towards Wolfswood fully armed, and the injured and manic Black Dragon also calmed down after a roar and vented-with With Moqorro and a few guards, Igor cautiously approached from the dragon's visible front, just in time to catch Daenerys' staggering underground dragon.
＊＊＊
My hands and feet are numb, my head is dizzy... The whole world seems to be spinning in front of my eyes. Daenerys, the Dragonrider, did not kill half of the ghouls in battle, but it was because of her command that the three dragons did not spray all the dragon flames on the North's army.
However, the biggest hero of this battle at the moment is not easy: Drogon was forced to land after his wing was damaged. Although the height was less than 100 feet, and there was a buffer of snow, it was also strong and solid. A hard landing; then surrounded by corpses, dodging left and right, and taking into account the protection of the Knight on the back, the critical moment naturally has no time to consider "stable", "comfort" and so on... After a fierce battle, Black Dragon Although he hadn't moved the nest on the spot, to the Queen on his back, it was like driving a canoe in a stormy sea for more than half an hour, how uncomfortable it was.
Daenerys almost slid off the dragon's back and threw up on the dragon before he could stand on his feet. Seeing that she looked like she was going to die, Igor couldn't care less about the ferocious giant beast, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her and put the little Queen back into the crowd.
"Your Majesty, we won this battle with your great help in the battle! Do you want to rest in the carriage now, or..."
"Wessey Leon...he got shot by something and fell...take me to see him!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone couldn't care less, The eager little Queen, surrounded by her love child, walked to the place where the White Dragon landed 100 meters away. Igor quietly ordered someone to pass the letter one step ahead, but Daenerys finally did not let Daenerys see oneself's "child" being shot all over by Night's Watch. of the miserable appearance.
"Viserion? Viserion!"
Igor could only be silent as Daenerys began to cry in grief as he lay on White Dragon's head. Accompanied loudly. Queen's willful early joining the battle at first did disrupt the rhythm of the Land Granters, but objectively it did prevent the Others from breaking through the North's position and continuing to flee south. Moreover, one dragon died and two dragons were injured. , in fact, it also carried a lot of damage for the commanders and transcendents on the living side: not to mention, if Daenerys did not ride the dragon back north, oneself, Melisandre, Moqorro and even Bran Stark - one Night's Watch supreme commander, three The existence of the transcendent hostile to the Cold God is bound to become the main sniper target of the Others.
The dragon's skin is rough and fleshy, and it can eat Others' repeated attacks without dying, but the human body's mortal embryo...even such strange and unpredictable beings as high-level Red God priests and Greenseers can still survive. How many times?
Watching Dragonmother grief for the child for a while, the messenger came to report for the second time that the North guardian Robb Stark was going to ask the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch for questioning, I felt that it was almost time to wait, Igor sighed walked behind the Queen and said comforted: "Your Majesty, the dragon cannot be resurrected from the dead, White Dragon Viserion gave his life to protect your people, died well, Night's Watch and the people of the North will never forget it soars in the sky. Yingzi. But the body is the capital of changing the world. You have traveled through the war and the weather is extremely cold. There is still a long section of the road to achieve the ideal of 'breaking the wheel'. Please allow me to ask You move into the carriage and get some rest!"
Daenerys turned away to wipe the tears from his cheeks, refusing to be too weak in front of oneself's new loyalists: "Send someone to look after his Corpse, I will not allow anyone to destroy even a single scale. When Drogon heals, I will cremate him with dragon flames!"
"As you bid." Igor nod agreed, dragon bone dragon scales It's not a rare thing in Westeros, and it's not as precious as Valyria steel... As long as the two red robe priests come to confirm that there is no possibility of the dragon becoming a corpse, it is her right to do what the Queen wants to do. "At this moment Duke Stark is My order is here, can Your Majesty allow me to - go and explain everything to him, and discuss what to do next about North making way south for Night's Watch?"
"Duke Stark? Robb, son of Eddard Stark. Stark?"
"Yes."
As usual, Daenerys would probably ask to go with him, using dragons like Aegon the Conqueror to force the North ruler to bow his head to oneself, but now , Viserion died and Drogon was injured and could not fly. It was really not a good time to be fatty.
The man in front of him had sworn his allegiance to oneself the previous morning with thousands of eyes watching, and Daenerys decided to trust him... not to betray oneself while she was weakest.
"Go ahead, if you can convince Stark to avoid bloodshed by North against me, that's the best thing. If you can't, don't be too aggressive. We'll think about other things when Drogon and Rhaegal are healed. Ways."
