Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 160: The Power of Moon Dance, Winter is Coming

“As you command, I will go and make arrangements for the trip south now.

Great Black Crow Green Prophet, I have a little doubt.

We haven't interfered with the future at all, how can it suddenly change?"

Upon hearing this, Bohe nodded and answered, then opened his mouth to ask what was on his mind.

After the baptism of the long river of time, she has now begun to have initial contact with the knowledge belonging to the Green Prophet.

So she had a strong desire to resolve the doubts in her heart.

"Mint, I understand the doubts in your heart. After all, I went through the same thing in the beginning.

The future that we green prophets see is the natural development of all current things according to the normal trajectory.

But when we peek into the future, even if we act and speak strictly according to the future we see, there will still be some deviations.

Because when we know the future in advance, it is no longer normal.

In the past of the future we see, we do not know what will happen in the future.

Sounds a bit confusing, right? In fact, to put it simply, the amount of information we know is different from that of our future self, which causes an anomaly.

This anomaly may not have a big impact, or it may lead to earth-shaking changes.

Just as a butterfly flaps its wings in Westeros, a tornado can appear in Essos.

So we must do everything we can to guide those deviations back on track and recreate that future.

This is what we Greenseers have been doing before.”

It can be seen that the Black Crow Green Prophet seems to really want to cultivate Mint to become the new Green Prophet.

After hearing Bohe's doubts, he patiently taught the other party.

However, his words were indeed a little difficult for Mint to digest. She just nodded as if she understood, and then went to prepare to go south.

After the previous experiences in the Last Hearth City and Kaho City, Mint distributed the preparatory work in an orderly manner.

Unlike the army of zombies that neither eat nor drink, both the children of the forest and humans need resources such as food and water.

Therefore, the most troublesome thing in the preparation work was to drive the human captives to search for food supplies in the city and load them into the transport convoy.

Because at times like this, they would always look for some inedible round metals and various beautiful stones.

The son of the forest naturally does not understand the truth that people die for money and birds die for food.

Even though they were surrounded by a horde of zombies, the civilians of the seven nations, who had lived in poverty all their lives, still tried their best to search and scramble for valuables such as gold, silver, and jewelry.

Although the number of the Children of the Forest was extremely small, they were unable to manage the tens of thousands of human captives.

But they were surrounded by a large army of zombies controlled by the Black Crow and Green Prophet. Even if these human captives had a hundred guts, they would not dare to escape on their own.

Half a day later, the army of the dead, like a coastline, set out from the Dreadfort and headed towards Winterfell, the capital of the North.

Before leaving the Dreadfort, Black Crow and Green Prophet did not forget to expand the manpower for their own army of wights.

The Black Crow and Green Prophet standing on the top of the Dreadfort wall opened his arms to the left and right, and then slowly raised them up.

Rustling!

The land around the Dreadfort began to bulge out from the inside out, and corpses that had been sleeping in the land for who knows how many years struggled to get out.

Even on the ground inside the Dreadfort, there were many bony hands and claws sticking out from the corpses and mud.

This scene frightened the human captives so much that they trembled in fear and huddled together, fearing that they would be caught by those bony claws.

The Bolton family of the Dreadfort is well-known in the Seven Kingdoms for its brutal skinning.

The number of wights captured in the Dreadfort is almost equal to the total number of wights captured in the two cities of Last Hearth and Kaho.

The sea of ​​wights was strengthened once again. No matter how high the walls of Winterfell were, with the number of wights, they could easily build many stairways of bones to attack the city.

The vast army of zombies began to move south at a fixed frequency. In the middle and rear areas of the army, there were human captives who brought their families with them and drove the transport convoys.

……

In the sky above Bay Cailin, Benilla, sitting on the saddle of the Moon Dance Dragon, put down the telescope after confirming the enemy target.

Although Yuewu's left abdominal injury has not yet fully recovered, without large crossbows and scorpion crossbows, the Iron Men's bows and arrows alone will not be able to break Yuewu's defense.

Because of the plot of the TV series in his previous life, Jacaerys had an innate bad impression of the Iron Men.

Perhaps influenced by what he saw and heard, Benilla also hated these iron men who only knew how to plunder.

She didn't even consider calling for surrender first, and wanted to complete the rescue mission with the minimum effort.

Hooray, hooray!
Under Benilla's control, Moon Dancer flapped her wings hard and began to dive from the sky towards the gate tower of Bay Cailin.

"Dracarys!"

Once within range, Benilla's red lips parted slightly as she uttered this extremely deadly High Valyrian word.

Wow!!!

A long, green dragon flame immediately spewed out from Yuewu's dragon mouth and poured down towards the surroundings of the city gate tower like a streak of silk.

Although the light green dragon flame spewed out by Yuewu this time still looked relatively slender overall, it was obvious that the attack range of its dragon flame had increased a lot compared to before.

If nothing unexpected happens, it may have dragon flames with large-scale attack capabilities like Silver Wing when it grows up.

Around the city gate tower, a row of Ironborn archers were shooting arrows at the giant dragon in the sky.

what! ! !
Light green dragon flames descended from the sky and enveloped them. In an instant, all kinds of screams and wails were heard within the attack range of the light green dragon flames.

Benila controlled the Moon Dancer to vibrate its wings and hover in the sky. After burning continuously for a few seconds,

Moon Dancer began to circle the city gate tower and continued to spit dragon flames at the Ironborn below. As Moon Dancer went away, the row of Ironborn archers at the beginning had turned into a pile of charred charcoal ash.

Only some metal objects such as arrows, long swords, short blades, etc. were left, which were difficult to melt by the light green dragon flame.

"Damn it, everyone hide in the tower!"

Dalton looked at the giant green-scale dragon that was spewing dragon flames in the sky and roared loudly at the Iron Men outside.

But with Moon Dancer's flying speed, most of the Iron Men had no time to hide in the tower and were hit by the dragon flames and turned into charred ashes.

If it weren't for the fact that it was not yet a fully grown adult, it would not be able to keep spewing dragon flames for long enough.

It is estimated that just by spitting dragon flames around the three towers, all the remaining two thousand iron men would be burned to death.

The Ironborn seemed certain that they could not command the dragon to attack them while they were hiding in the tower.

Benilla curled up the corner of her mouth into a slight smile, looked around the three towers, and chose the Drunken Tower which had already begun to tilt.

It is true that Yuewu cannot spit dragon flames continuously now, but don’t forget that it is now a giant dragon that can carry people and fly.

Boom!
Its heavy dragon body slammed heavily onto the top of the Drunken Tower, which was littered with the corpses of Gray Water Archers.

The Drunken Tower, which had already begun to tilt due to the swampy terrain, began to collapse toward the ground.

The speed was extremely slow at the beginning, but it became faster and faster as time went on. Boom!
With a loud bang, the entire Drunken Tower collapsed into the swamp.

The strong impact and shock caused the Drunken Tower to break into pieces. One by one, the Iron Men emerged from the ruins of the Drunken Tower, trying to escape.

Wow!

Hovering in the sky, Benilla just waited and ordered Moon Dancer to breathe out scorching light green dragon flames at these iron men.

what! ! !
Heart-wrenching screams and wails rang out from the ruins of the Drunken Tower. There were probably more than 700 Iron Men hiding in the Drunken Tower.

They were either buried by the ruins of the Drunken Tower, or roasted to death in the light green dragon's breath, or turned directly into charcoal.

Dalton in the City Gate Tower and Veron in the Son of the Forest Tower both saw the tragic situation in the Drunken Tower.

The first one who couldn't hold back was Veron. After all, compared to the other towers, the city gate tower was almost intact, and there were hostages.

The Forest Children Tower where he was was much more dilapidated. There were even many holes on the tower that allowed the head of the giant green-scaled dragon to come in and spit dragon flames.

“Brothers, hiding here is just waiting for death.

Now, while the dragon is burning the Drunken Tower, we rush into the woods so that the dragon can't see us.

Then follow the comb to the Red Wave River and take the boat back to the Iron Islands!"

Velon had been imitating his brother. His eyes rolled and he immediately raised his arm to order the seven or eight hundred iron men under his command to flee towards the Heat Wave River.

However, many Ironborn felt that he was right. If they entered the woods, they could indeed block the dragon's view.

So when the first brave ironman suddenly ran out of the Forest Sons Tower, most of the ironmen in the tower fled towards the woods in the direction of the Heat Wave River.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted Benilla's attention.

She immediately gave up on the Drunken Tower, where almost all the Ironborn had been killed, and ordered Moon Dancer to flap her wings towards the Forest Children Tower.

It was just as Velon said when Moon Dancer flew into the woods near the Forest Son Tower.

One third of the Iron Men in the front had already rushed in, and Yuewu lost sight of them in an instant.

Seeing this, Benilla simply stopped attacking the Iron Men in the rear, and instead flew towards the front of the woods on Moon Dancer.

The first Ironborn to escape from the Forest Child Tower was filled with joy when he entered the woods. He felt that it was his correct judgment that allowed him to escape from the dragon's mouth.

But as he ran, he felt something was wrong.

Because it seems to be getting hotter!
Wow!

Suddenly, a large area of ​​light green flame appeared in front of us, setting a forest on fire.

Seeing this, the Iron Man immediately tried to change direction in an attempt to escape.

But it was of no use, the woods on all sides were ignited by the flames and were burning fiercely.

It turned out that Benilla decisively drove the dragon to draw a circle in the sky, and the ignited woods formed a forest fire, and the Iron Men inside had nowhere to escape.

While Moondance was burning the woods, the cunning Veron brought his personal guards and direct soldiers to meet up with Dalton in the city gate tower.

However, they did not flee towards the Red Wave River where the Iron Fleet was located, but towards White Harbor in the north.

……

Da da da!
The maester from Horwood was now in a state of panic, climbing the stone steps of the Crow's Nest.

A few minutes later, he climbed up to the top of the tower, panting, and stood in front of the cage where a group of ravens were kept. He picked up the paper and pen beside him and began to write.

After scribbling the report on the letter, he reached out and grabbed the raven, tied up the letter and released it directly.

Puff, puff!
The sturdy raven, which was usually fed with fine food and had been conserving its energy, flapped its wings hard and flew high into the sky after being freed.

call out!
Oh!

An ice crystal javelin shot through the sky with a sharp sound, as if it knew the raven's flight trajectory in advance and pierced it through accurately.

Finished!

The Northern soldier on top of the Crow's Nest saw the raven hanging on the tip of the ice spear falling to the ground, and immediately turned his head to the northeast with a deathly pale face.

Snap, snap!
I saw a large black army of zombies rushing towards the city of Horwood like a tide.

The maester from Horwood City continued to release ravens, but they were always accurately killed by ice crystal javelins.

There was no choice but to turn around and leave the Crow's Nest, heading towards the northeast wall of Horwood City.

On the northeastern wall of Horwood City, a soldier defending the city was busy preparing arrows and fuel.

With a solemn expression, Earl Horwood held the sword with both hands, supervising the soldiers' preparations for war.

Seeing his maester coming, he immediately asked, "How is it going? Have all the ravens been released?"

“They were released, but were immediately killed by icy spears.

It seems that this group of White Walkers are indeed very smart and know how to block the news! "

Hearing Lord Horwood's question, the scholar immediately shook his head and replied.

"Damn it, we'll have to pass the message on.

Have our families left through the northwest gate and headed for Winterfell?"

"Yes, my Lord!

Not only the Countess and the ladies, but all the men, women and children in Hornwood have fled to Winterfell."

Upon hearing this, the scholar immediately nodded and replied.

Upon hearing this, Earl Horwood showed a hint of joy on his face, and then he shouted loudly to the soldiers defending the city who were preparing for battle: "Hey, did you hear that?

Brothers, we are destined to die here!
For the sake of our relatives and friends who are heading to Winterfell, we must delay the army of wights as much as possible.

Every day we delay is another day they have to travel.

So, fight for your loved ones!"

“Woooooo!”

As soon as Lord Horwood finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers defending the city shouted loudly.

Seeing that the morale was good, Earl Hornwood nodded secretly.

But when he turned around and saw the astonishing number of zombies in front of him, like an ocean, he sighed softly.

Because the Dreadfort and Winterfell are separated by the Lonely Mountain, the army of the dead can only take a detour through Hornwood.

But this also gave Horwood more time to prepare for the battle of Winterfell.

Click, click!
Once within attack distance, countless wights began running towards the walls of Horwood City.

Kill!
A brutal war between humans and white walkers has begun.

But it was of no use. Horwood, which was not a big city, had insufficient defense and could not hold out for more than a few days.

For them, winter has come!
