Chapter 769
When Dany arrives, he finds that Winterfell has become a huge construction site, half a kilometer from the city wall, the snow on the ground has been shoveled away, revealing the black soil that has never seen the daylight for years.
Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the castle, digging a moat four meters wide and three meters deep in the black land under the city wall.
But the moat doesn't drain the water from the White Knife.
There is a market called "Winter Town" outside Winterfell. At this time, the houses on the market were demolished, and the wooden walls, wooden furniture, wooden roofs, etc., all the things that can be burned, All moved to the newly excavated moat.
The moat would be a river of flames blocking Wights.
"Nigga-"
"Ah, dragon, dragon is here, Dragon Queen is here!"
"Wow, three dragons, so big !"
"Long live the dragon, long live the Dragon Queen!"
"With the help of the Dragon Queen, we will definitely be able to hold Winterfell!"
Dany rides around the dragon at a low altitude A lap of Winterfell's large construction site elicited unimaginable cheers.
Although she has never been to Winterfell (passing by is not counted), but at this time, many people in Winterfell came from Wall and Wolfswood, and they also met Dragon Queen and dragon, but it was not like that at that time. Excited.
Well, when they saw dragon for the first time, they were also excited, but their excitement was just looking at the wonder, rather than eagerly looking forward to Dragon Queen and dragon.
"Sigh-"
Only waited for Unsullied in a square silver armor to trot out of the main castle and form a half circle in the courtyard before Dany let Big Black fall. .
Well, when Dragon Queen's Wyrmrider regiment came from Dragonstone, they also brought a 40-man Valyrian Steel squad.
They are not here to protect Winterfell, but mainly to protect the personal safety of the Dragon Queen in Winterfell.
To put it bluntly, in Winterfell, Dany must have a guard who is absolutely loyal to oneself.
Not only Winterfell, she will bring a team of bodyguards to any Hou Family in Seven Kingdoms in the future.
Jon led Manderly, Mormont, Seven, Glover and other North nobles to leave the main castle and came to the courtyard to meet the Dragon Queen.
After the greeting, several people entered the main castle with the burning fireplace.
Dragon Queen and Jon sit side by side, except that Dragon Queen sits in the middle, King in the North is to the left, and there are dozens of North nobles at the bottom.
In addition to the great princes, even the Landed Knight and Ser came.
"Decided? Stick to Winterfell?" Dany frowned.
"North is our home! It's our duty to protect the Wei Family Garden." 囧 said solemnly.
"Defend the North, never give up!"
"Yes, we are from the North, don't we run away without a fight?"
囧's words are very clever. He didn't say that Winterfell is my home. He clearly defended Winterfell, but he was defined as defending North to the death.
The northerners below were stimulated and screamed,
"The last Hearth fell, you know?" Dany asked.
"So soon? We just received a letter from Hearth for help." 囧cry out in surprise.
Dany sighed: "Actually, it fell yesterday, and within half an hour of Raven's departure, the Umber family fort was breached.
The entire castle, plus the market town outside , more than 15,000 people, only more than 50 guards and 400 old and weak women and children were left in an hour."
"His-" 囧sucked in a breath of cold air, plush The face behind the velvet mustache was white as snow in an instant.
The excited North nobles in the hall seemed to be splashed with cold water on their heads, and they stopped calling, looking at each other in blank dismay, dazed and horrified.
"The Umber family...was exterminated?" Jon's voice was as soft as a feather.
Greatjon is not here, he is one of the commanders of the Southern Expedition, who led two thousand North cavalry with Second Stag to Vale a few months ago.
"If I didn't meet me. Unfortunately, I couldn't save everyone." Dany's expression was heavy.
"Ai, Hearth fell too fast, you just happened to pass by and save the rest, Gods has blessed you."
Jon didn't understand the regret in Dany's words.
For a while, he seriously said: "Your Majesty, I hope you can provide us with a batch of Dragonglass weapons."
"You're quick to respond, and understand that Hearth falls a large part quickly The reason is the weapon."
Dany glanced strangely at the embarrassment, this guy has been King in the North for more than half a year, and he has gradually developed a calm temperament of a superior.
"Do you know how many Wights attack Hearth in total? How many Others are there?
About two Others lead 40,000 Wights, and Eastwatch Night's Watch saw hundreds of them that day Others. Think about it yourself, how many Wights are there in total."
"Ah, this... Wights number more than one million, millions of Wights army?" Lord Lamprey's eyes widened in horror , Unbelievable.
"Gods, how is this possible, how can...how can we beat this?"
"No, beyond the wall and North people combined have A million?"
The North nobles were horrified and skeptical.
Jon said solemnly: "should not be less than a million, Others not only resurrected the newly-dead humans, but also the corpse of wild beast, the remains of the grave, are the source of Wights.
But don't be afraid, as long as we are equipped with the right weapons, Wights are easier to deal with than farmers.
Farmers finally have scythes and hoes in their hands, at least sticks.
But ninety-nine percent of Wights are empty-handed and have no armor.
The dead crawling out of their graves don't even have fingernails or teeth, and an armored Knight stands there to let them attack, too. ....."
Speaking of this, Jon laughed, "Maybe they will all come over and crush and suffocate our Knight."
"hahaha ..." There was a Knight who patted oneself's ancestral steel armor and laughed lightly.
The atmosphere of the inner Qi in the hall is much more relaxed.
“How many soldiers does Winterfell have now?” Dany asked.
"After receiving the news of the collapse of the Wall, I immediately issued a summoning order to the North princes. In recent days, soldiers have arrived one after another. At this time, there are almost 13,000 people, and one It may be close to 20,000 in a week."
"I don't think it will be a week." Dany sighed and agreed to help Dragonglass weapons.
——The Queen's army stationed at Dragonstone was equipped with Dragonglass weapons at the first time, and even had matching spare weapons, so the weapons in reserve now can be used as gifts.
Anyway, she's not short of money, so if she doesn't exchange Dragonglass weapons for money, she can only give it away. At least 囧 is a sincere anal Others, and giving him weapons can be considered to be the best use.
"Hope you can kill 20,000 Wights, or you'll lose a lot."
"What do you mean?" Earl Flint asked in confusion.
Dragon Queen stared at him, "If you can't keep Winterfell, all of you will join the Others army."
"I won't," the bearded and stocky Earl rose red. "Even if I die, I won't surrender to those monsters."
"Then your way of dying must be very special." Dany's mouth twitched.
"When we die, we will also become Wights, controlled by Others, and become part of the Wights army." Jon facial expression grave said.
"Ah, so it's still like this, so Wights won't fight more and more?"
"If we kill enough, we should be able to pay back." "She-Bear" Alysanne mumbled.
Jon turned to Dany and said worriedly: "Can you transport 20,000 Dragonglass weapons in a short time?"
"Yes," Dany nominates, "you used to be a Commander. of the Night's Watch, have you forgotten the specifications of Dragonstone's weapons?"
囧 woke up from a sleep, and happily said: "I almost forgot, you can first airlift a batch of Dragonfang to make lances, At least one lance per hand, and then use the extra Dragonfang to assemble the Dragonfang."
Dragonfang is an obsidian serrated sword called "Macuahuitl", with sharp Dragonglass "teeth" inserted on both sides of the "wood pulp" , like a saw.
Dragonfang inserted into wood pulp can also be taken separately to make a lance's tip, or a dagger.
Currently, Dragonstone only forges sharp and sharp Dragonfang, and Wall Night's Watch oneself logs and forges wood pulp and lance poles inlaid with Dragonfang.
In this way, Dragonstone's forged Dragonglass weapons are several times less expensive and tens of times more efficient.
A Smith apprentice who has just learned to forge can forge hundreds of Dragonfangs a day.
A Dragonfang weighs two or two, about 50 grams, and 10,000 pieces are only half a ton. A single Wyvern can transport 30,000 or 40,000 pieces of Dragonfang.
Of course, Dragonfang is a consumable like bullet.
Dragonglass is hard and brittle, and breaks easily when chopped and stabbed.
For example, accidentally, the lance was so hard that it happened to stab Wights' spine. Wights will die, but 80% of the Dragonfang lance will also be destroyed.
The lance must then be changed.
When the battle is over, replace the spearhead for the lance with the broken tip.
Compared with lance, Dragonfang not only has greater formidable power, but also stronger durability. After all, there are at least twenty Dragonfangs inserted into it.
However, although Dragonfang is fierce, it has high requirements for users, and must be a strong male.
Indeed, Dragonfang is big and heavy, not ten pounds but at least eight pounds. How many times can the ordinary person swing?
Only a young Knight with regular exercise and strong physique is the best candidate to use Dragonfang, others might as well use Dragonfang lance.
With the promise of the Dragon Queen, King in the North immediately ordered: suspend the moat construction outside the city, and all soldiers go to build spear poles and "oars".
Jon has seen too many Dragonfang daggers, lances and knives when he was in Wall, and he has also guided Night's Watch to build hundreds of thousands of lances and tens of thousands of oars.
He was so familiar with the job and so handy that Winterfell had added a hundred thousand lances and five thousand oars in the past afternoon.
Although it is a little rough, the wood is of a very good quality and definitely durable.
That night, before attending the dinner party, Dany thought for a moment after seeing the lances and oars in the warehouse, and said, "These are not enough."
"I only have 20,000 people. "Jong frowned.
"When you really fight, you'll see how quickly your weapons are depleted. A soldier should be equipped with at least twenty lances and three Dragonfangs. If it's a Knight, it's tripled!"
p>
"isn't this too ridiculous?"
"Wights are not human, they have no fatigue, they attack continuously, and it is not impossible to last ten days and ten nights. Twenty lances are not impossible. Not necessarily enough, you have to work in three shifts and take turns on the battlefield." Dany said solemnly.
“Does Dragonstone have that much Dragonglass?”
“I will recruit another group of Smith and miners, work overtime, and guarantee at least two tons of Dragonglass a day.”
p>
"Two tons is 40,000 Dragonfangs...." Jon showed gratitude and said sincerely: "Daenerys Your Majesty, thank you!"
"No need Thank you, the more Dragonglass weapons you provide, the longer you resist and the more Wights you kill.
To be honest, I'd love to be transporting weapons for Winterfell all the time.
You guys are the best Good for a week, a month...if it lasts for a year, Gods bless!"
Dany's expression and tone are also very sincere.
Looking at such a sincere Dragon Queen, Jon's face was distorted.
