Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 129: Hunting in the Deep Forest, Strange Magic

Da da da!
In the dense jungle, hundreds of cavalrymen wearing chain mail with the direwolf family emblem were moving forward slowly with vigilant faces.

At the very center of the cavalry formation, Jacaerys, Ella, and Duke Creggan were riding side by side.

Because the three dragons of Womax made too much noise, Jacaerys, who was worried about alerting the enemy, naturally chose to ride a horse.

However, through the mental connection, he could feel that Womacks was following closely in the invisible sky.

“Your Majesty, I still don’t understand. There are three castles that are close to Seven City.

Why are you so sure the next 'miracle' will happen in Deepwood Motte?"

After enduring for most of the day, Duke Creggan finally opened his mouth and asked about the doubts in his heart.

Jacaerys smiled when he heard this. He had thought that Cregan would ask as soon as he left Winterfell.

I didn't expect that the other party was so patient and he is indeed a vassal who can take on important responsibilities.

"Torrhen's Square is the closest of the three castles, but the heart tree of House Tallhart's godswood is not a weirwood.

It is the most common tree in the North and also their family emblem, the Sentinel Tree.

Of the remaining two castles, Horwood is located on a tributary of the Broken Stream, surrounded by the endless northern wilderness.

Deepwood Motte is located deep in the vast wolfwood.

The instinct of living things is to give priority to a more comfortable environment."

"they……"

After hearing this word from Jakaris' mouth again, Cregan did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he whipped the warhorse under his crotch a few times and increased the speed slightly.

Three days later, Jacaerys successfully arrived at Deepwood Motte, located in the hills north of Sea Dragon Point.

Due to the narrow terrain, Deepwood Keep was not suitable for building a godswood within the city, but was built in the wolfwood a few kilometers to the east.

So Jacaerys and his party exchanged greetings with the local lord, Earl Glover, borrowed a few hundred Glover family infantrymen who were familiar with the surrounding environment, and then went to the Godswood to check it out.

The branches of the heart tree here are bare, without a single leaf, and the trunk is completely dry and has many cracks.

The Stark family soldiers carefully checked the surroundings and did not find the strange three-clawed footprints again.

This means that the opponent's movement speed in the Wolf Forest is not fast and is still behind Jacaerys and others.

In this case, Jacaerys just let Cregan and the more than a thousand soldiers ambush around the heart tree at a distance.

After three full days of waiting, late at night on the third day, there was finally movement in the wolf forest outside the sacred forest.

Using a special telescope taken from the dragon saddle of Womacks, Jakaris saw three small figures like children in the bright moonlight.

They did not take the road built by humans, but moved nimbly through the wolf forest full of bushes and thorns, quickly approaching the heart tree of the sacred forest.

As they reached the withered and dead heart tree, Jacaerys conveyed his thoughts to Vermax.

hold head high! ! !
A majestic dragon roar like rumbling thunder came from the sky. The three short figures trembled all over and immediately looked up at the sky.

Hoo ho ho!
Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!
At the same time, countless torches suddenly lit up around the Shenmu Forest. The dazzling flames tore through the night and surrounded the entire Shenmu Forest in a huge circle.

Hundreds of Stark cavalrymen rode their war horses and cruised around the periphery, while hundreds of other Glover family infantrymen formed a battle array to shrink the encirclement and approach the heart tree.

The three short figures naturally knew that they had fallen into a trap at this moment, so they began to discuss heatedly in a strange language.

The tone of this strange language is like singing, quite clear and pleasant.

It was that Jacaerys was a little far away, otherwise he would have been able to tell that this strange language was very similar to the magic Helena used to perform on Dreamfire.

Their quarrel ended quickly, and two of the short figures simply lay prone on the ground.

Then they seemed to have turned into slimes in the anime of their previous lives and kept wriggling.

One of the figures quickly condensed into a wolf-like beast, while the other figure continued to grow larger and eventually became a woolly mammoth with a pair of thick fangs.

The direwolf lay on the ground, allowing the last short figure to climb onto its back.

Moo!

Boom boom boom!
The woolly mammoth opened its huge mouth, stretched out its thick trunk, and let out a loud roar at the torches that were getting closer and closer.

Then, with heavy steps, he rushed towards the encircling soldiers in the north like a heavy truck.

shhhhhh!
Seeing this, the Glover family infantry responsible for the encirclement in the north immediately drew their bows and shot at the huge target.

The thick skin of the woolly mammoth blocked most of the arrows. Even if there were a few arrows that broke through the thick skin,
It is also blocked by the thick fat layer inside and cannot cause any substantial damage.

The hairy beast braved the rain of arrows and slammed into the Glover family infantry in the north.

Bang bang!

Ah!
The first few Glover family infantrymen who came into contact suppressed their fear and thrust their spears at the woolly mammoth.

But as soon as it pierced the opponent's thick skin, it was knocked away by its huge force.

The soldiers who were knocked away immediately spit out a large mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground, their life or death unknown.

The woolly mammoth used the force of its charge to knock down more than twenty Glover family infantrymen in a row.

But after slowing down, he was surrounded by other infantrymen and was constantly stabbed by their spears.

As the saying goes, a swarm of ants can kill an elephant!

The spears could only leave shallow damage on its thick skin, but they could not withstand the large number and spears of the Glover family infantry.

The woolly mammoth's four thick legs soon became bloody.

Woohoo!

At this moment, the wolf-like beast carrying a small figure let out a warning growl and appeared in front of the group of Glover family infantrymen holding torches.

With the help of the light from many torches, these Glover family infantrymen could now clearly see the appearance of the enemy.

The wolf-like beast is easily recognizable; it is the Stark family crest, an adult direwolf.

The short figure on its back looked like a little girl, but she was wearing clothes woven from leaves and bark, looking like a savage.

But the next second, they knew that this was definitely not an ordinary little girl.

She took out a fist-sized round black ball from her leaf clothes, and threw it hard in the direction of the Glover family infantry group that was besieging the woolly mammoth.

Chi Chi!

The round black ball suddenly started to burn automatically in the air, and then a bright blue light appeared on the surface of the black ball, and the light kept getting stronger.

In the end, it turned into a meteor with a blue flame tail and fell among the Glover family infantry.

Bang!
The blue meteor exploded violently, and the light blue flames that followed directly swept in seven or eight Glover family infantrymen.

Bang bang bang!
The little girl riding on the direwolf took out three round black balls from her arms again and threw them at the Glover family infantrymen.

Amidst the continuous and violent explosions, the Glover family infantry responsible for the northern siege began to stop. They were almost blown to pieces by this round black ball that they had never seen before.

Hooray, hooray!
When the little girl tried to blast her way out with the round black ball, the sound of a dragon's wings breaking through the air suddenly came from above her head.

Wow!
Moo~~~
The huge body of Womax crushed a group of trees, and then used the sharp dragon claws that fell from the sky to dig into the fat back of the woolly mammoth.
The severely injured woolly mammoth immediately let out a cry of grief.

After catching the target, Womax flapped his wings and rose high into the sky.

The woolly mammoth that just relied on its huge size to crush the Glover family infantry,
At this moment, he was like a little chick, without any ability to resist and was easily caught into the sky by the 'Eagle' Womacks.

The woolly mammoth in the air saw that it could not break free from the dragon's claws, so it squirmed again and turned back to its original appearance.

The huge woolly mammoth suddenly turned into a tiny thing. Of course, Womacks couldn't react in time and was jumped by the other party.

The dire wolf quickly rushed forward and caught the short figure falling from the sky on its back with one leap.

The little girl who had been staying on the back of the direwolf became anxious when she saw green blood flowing from the back of the short figure.

It seems that even if this woolly mammoth changed its form, it still could not erase the injuries caused by Womacks before.

The little girl immediately took out some green powder from her arms and sprinkled it on the back of the short figure.

At the same time, a sad song like the weeping blood of a cuckoo came out of his mouth.

The surrounding Glover family infantrymen were infected by the pure singing and actually felt sad in their hearts, and suddenly felt like crying.

A bright green light rose from the back of the short figure as the singing progressed. The green light disappeared in an instant, and the injury on the short figure's back was healed immediately.

“What kind of creature is this?
They just used both transformation magic and life magic.

Those withered and dead fish beam trees should have been resurrected by it.

Hiss, I really want to break them down into materials and study them carefully.

Your Majesty, can you give me one?"

By the time the little girl was treating her companion, the encirclement was complete.

Ella, who was filled with a desire to research, stared at the three figures and spoke to Jakaris.

"They are the native inhabitants of Westeros, the Children of the Forest.

I am also very interested in them now, and when they are no longer valuable to me, I will give you another one."

Jacaerys first answered Ella in a low voice, then turned to the little girl and shouted loudly,

"I remember your name is... Leaf, and you can speak the Common Language of Westeros.

Do you see the three-headed dragon in the sky? You can't escape.

It’s better to give up all resistance and let’s find a place to have a good talk.

If you refuse, I will make you suffer later!"

That’s right, these three short figures are the legendary Children of the Forest.

The little girl was named Leaf. She lived for hundreds of years and in the original series she saved Bran and brought him to the cave of the Three-Eyed Raven.

"Minions of the evil god from another world, don't even think about catching us!"

Ye Zi could indeed speak the common language of Westeros, but it seemed that her cunning was not deep enough yet.

He was immediately angered by Jacaerys.

"********"

After saying this, Ye Zi began to sing in an unknown language again.

A pure and melodious song sounded, which was completely different from the song that made people feel sad and cry.

This time the singing gives off more of a sense of tranquility and peace, as if making people soak in a warm and comfortable hot spring.

This peaceful and comfortable feeling gradually makes people's consciousness begin to blur.

Bang!
Bang bang bang!
A Glover family infantryman who was surrounding the direwolf and Leaf suddenly fell to the ground.

Then, as if causing a chain reaction, hundreds of Glover family infantrymen around fell to the ground one after another.

If viewed from the perspective of the dragon above the Godwood, these fallen Glover family infantrymen were radiating outward in a circle.

Even the two rows of Stark cavalrymen closest to the encirclement, who had been roaming around, fell to the ground.

However, the Stark cavalry further away were not affected.

However, this strange and unreasonable phenomenon filled the sober Stark family cavalry with fear, and they dared not ride forward to check the situation.

Fortunately, there were still three people awake in the center of the encirclement.

Duke Creggan is a ruthless man. When he finds something wrong, he draws out the Stark family's inherited greatsword, Ice.

He used the sharp ice to cut a bloody wound on his arm, using the severe pain to resist the blurry comfort.

Compared to Cregan, Jakaris and the others are much simpler.

Ella immediately used her magic power to build a small magic barrier near her and Jacaris' ears and drained the air inside.

Elementary school students in previous lives all knew that sound cannot travel in a vacuum!

Hooray, hooray!
Jakaris, who couldn't hear any sound, saw that Ye Zi was ungrateful, and with an idea, Jakaris, who was hovering in the sky, fell from the sky again.

Boom boom boom!
In need of a living prey, Jacaerys did not let it spit dragon fire, but instead used his dragon tail, which was as thick as a tree trunk, to whip and drive away the dire wolf.

Seeing that her magic had no effect on these three people, Ye Zi immediately stopped singing and hugged the neck of the direwolf that was dodging left and right.

Whoosh!

The direction the direwolf was forced to dodge was a trap prepared in advance.

Once it entered the trap, layers of large nets rose from the ground, covering the direwolf's body and pulling it into the air.

The direwolf in the rope net kept struggling, trying to use its sharp claws to break through the rope net and escape.

However, it can tear through one layer, but it is impossible to tear through all the layers of rope nets.

Moreover, the mesh of the rope net was small. Even if it finally turned into a short human shape, it was still trapped inside with Ye Zi and another companion, unable to move at all.

Three children of the forest were captured successfully!
Looking at the three short figures hanging in the air, Cregan, whose arms were still bleeding, asked, “Your Majesty, you said before that you would bring me to see the gods.

So, they are the old gods we worship in the North?"

“No, they are followers of the old gods just like you.

But the old gods have long since disappeared, and the gods you northerners have worshipped over the years are the green prophets who were born from them."

After answering Cregan's question, Jacaerys turned to the north and continued,
"Now, what are you going to do?"
