Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

The opposing side is located on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and is said to be powerful and well-equipped with three dragons. They are destined to fight the Baratheon family in the future. The Greyjoy family can hedge their bets on both sides, manipulate the details, and ultimately achieve the desired result.

The Iron Islands remained neutral, treating the king's summons as a mere formality, and even sending family members to secretly collude with the Targaryen family.

The rest of the nobles in Westeros were thunderstruck when they heard the news.

Because if the North couldn't be defended and the White Walkers crossed the Neck, they would be the next ones to suffer. The nobles, who hadn't cared much about the White Walkers before, suddenly became anxious.

In an instant, the lords of the seven kingdoms abandoned their drinking and celebrations and began to gather the able-bodied men in their fiefdoms to intensify training. At the same time, they responded to the king's call to send reinforcements to support the defenses of Winterfell.

This time, the nobles of the seven kingdoms did not try to evade responsibility or engage in any underhanded tactics.

Because the nobles were well-educated, they weren't fools.

They knew that without uniting their forces, it would be impossible to defeat the invading northern enemy.

If even a coalition of seven armies could not defeat the enemy, then his hidden soldiers would be even less able to protect his fiefdom and homeland.

Jon Arryn, who remained in King's Landing to oversee the situation, had been harboring some suspicion ever since the Queen's pregnancy scandal.

On the surface, the old prime minister seemed to have no intention of continuing the investigation, but in reality, he was still secretly continuing his investigation. Although the Duke of the Valley was old, his political skills remained strong.

The results of the investigation were somewhat shocking.

Almost all the evidence points to His Majesty the King's two children, Prince Joffrey and Princess Myrcella, who are most likely not His Majesty's biological children.

The identity of the adulterer who committed adultery with Her Majesty the Queen is even more obvious.

All the children are blonde, and Her Majesty the Queen and her brother Jaime Lannister, who is a member of the Kingsguard, have always been a close sibling couple, known as the golden couple of the Westerlands.

All the evidence has been investigated and cleared up; all that remains is the final arrest operation to expose this biggest royal scandal in history.

however.

Jon Arryn's investigation and arrest abruptly came to an end.

fluttering—

A raven arrived in King's Landing carrying a letter bearing the king's decree, and Jon Arryn sat on the Iron Throne with a grim expression.

The throne room was filled with many dignitaries, yet it was like a dilapidated house, where no information could be concealed.

The ravens of Winterfell arrived in the morning, and by the afternoon, news of the Allied forces' defeat had spread like wildfire throughout King's Landing.

The nation is now in turmoil, and with the Allied forces defeated, it is all the more necessary for us to unite and fight against the enemies to the north and across the sea.

Queen Cersei is the eldest daughter of the Lord Warden of Casterly Rock, and her lover is her own brother, the eldest son of Tywin Lannister.

If Jon Arryn were to capture Cersei and her brother today, the Westerlands would rebel tomorrow, since everyone knows that Tywin Lannister's most prized possession is his son, Jaime Lannister.

He can give up Cersei, he can give up Tyrion, but he cannot give up Jaime.

Even though Tywin had heard long ago that his good son had slept with his sister, such things had been going on in the Westerlands for a long time.

But Lord Tywin Lannister remained like an ostrich, covering his ears by slitting the throats of these people, telling everyone it was just a rumor and that they were actually just siblings with a deep bond.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Jon Arryn, as Hand of the King, had no choice but to temporarily halt the capture operation, while concealing the truth from Robert.

Otherwise, he had no doubt that if Robert had known this news, he would have immediately abandoned his tens of thousands of troops and rushed back to kill the adulterous couple.

The human alliance began rebuilding its fortifications at Winterfell, gaining a brief respite while the undead army searched for the Three-Eyed Raven beyond the Wall.

However, the march of winter will not stop just because a crow cannot be found.

Year 292 of the Aegonian calendar.

Having crossed the Wall of Despair, the army of the dead once again began its march south.

Jon Umber, the last Earl of Hearth, refused to abandon his home and fought to the death, but it was all in vain.

Ultimately, they were crushed by the surging army of the dead, and the soldiers of Hearthglen were all wiped out, including Jon Amber himself, who was turned into a new wight and continued to advance.

And sure enough, the legion of the dead began to split up here.

Some of the wights, led by other White Walkers, headed straight for Dreadfort, while others rushed to Cahor and Deepwood.

Chapter 351 The Battle of Winterfell

Although Bear Isle is also located north of Winterfell, it was spared because it is an island.

This confirms Baron Greyjoy's theory from the Iron Islands that these dead men can't swim!

Bear Island could have remained aloof and watched the spectacle unfold, just like the Iron Islands. However, Lord Jorah Mormont of Bear Island answered the call and actively participated in the war against the White Walkers.

But this very person suddenly encountered trouble at this time, because Jorah Mormont had been secretly selling slaves.

This matter was originally well hidden, but it was exposed because of this war.

Jorah, in order to earn money to satisfy his greedy wife, sold poachers to the Tyroth as slaves, an illegal activity in the North.

Eddard Stark arrested Jorah for this and intended to sentence him to death. Meanwhile, Jeor Mormont, the old Earl of Bear Island who had joined the Night's Watch, wanted to plead with the Lord, but when he arrived at the Lord Stark's door and raised his hand, he couldn't bring himself to knock.

He knew his son had committed a capital crime, and Lord Ed was an incorruptible man.

Moreover, in what capacity should he plead for Jorah? He had already renounced his title on Bear Island and become Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

This incident caused quite a stir in Winterfell, the second line of defense built by humanity and a city fully prepared for war, with everyone watching coldly as Duke Eddard's actions unfolded.

Jorah fought bravely at the Wall, slaying countless wights and earning great merit. However, as soon as he returned to Winterfell with the army, he was captured by his lord and sent to the gallows.

However, the matter continued to escalate for some time. Old Mormont did not plead for his son, but Jorah Mormont ultimately did not die, miraculously escaping danger.

It turned out that King Robert had come to Jorah's rescue.

He helped this warrior who had fought bravely at the Battle of Pike Island, believing that now was the time to use people, and that he had only betrayed a few damned men in the past, but had not done so again, and should not be punished.

Robert therefore demanded that Eddard Stark release Jorah, but the upright Duke Stark refused.

King Robert was furious. He personally ordered Jorah's pardon and demanded that Eddard Stark release him.

Jorah Mormont then walked out of Winterfell prison unharmed.

The king's action immediately drew unanimous praise from the soldiers of the seven-nation coalition present. People shouted the king's name and raised their glasses in celebration.

The morale of the coalition forces, which had been low during this period, was somewhat relieved by this incident, and they became more united.

However, Eddard Stark, who becomes the villain in this story, never utters a word to explain himself, even though some people may criticize and gossip behind his back.

...

The army of the dead crossed the Great Wall, and a guerrilla war between humans and the dead began.

The human alliance seized the opportunity when the undead army began to split its forces, and took the initiative to launch attacks in all directions to encircle and annihilate small groups of enemy troops, with both sides experiencing victories and defeats.

Randy Tarly, wielding his family's Valyrian steel sword Heartbreaker, killed a White Walker, becoming the second person after King Robert to kill a White Walker.

However, bad news also arrived: the Dreadfort had fallen, and all those stationed there had become fresh wights. Blackwald and the Frey soldiers who rushed to provide support were attacked by the White Walkers.

Walder Frey was trampled into a bloody pulp by the giant wight mammoth, so much so that he couldn't even be picked out of his body, and he didn't even qualify to become a wight.

Lord Roose Bolton of Dreadfort, however, was cunning and shrewd. He led the knights of Dreadfort on a long detour and never made it home, thus escaping the disaster.

The war between humans and the army of the dead continues to unfold across this land, with slaughter, ambushes, and fires, as humans use every conceivable strategy to try and stop the advance of the White Walkers.

However, the undead army had no tactics whatsoever, employing only one method: relentlessly advancing and brutally reaching the human alliance's headquarters.

Winterfell, the second line of defense for the human alliance, was already prepared.

The soldiers were filled with fervor, and the knights gleamed in their armor. They swore that this time they would crush the White Walkers beneath the walls of Winterfell, protect the people of the Seven Kingdoms behind them, reclaim the lost lands, and drive all the damned demons back beyond the Wall.

The area north of Neck Swamp generally does not worship the Seven Gods. However, the Archbishop of Stars Church in Old Town still dispatched three archbishops to Winterfell to pray for the Seven Gods' mercy and for them to bring holy light to this heretical land.

The people of the North did not stop them, but silently prayed that the Old Gods would hear their prayers.

The people of the North are now in dire straits, and they are willing to worship any god who can help them.

Unfortunately, the Seven Gods may not be willing to descend upon this land where the general populace does not believe in them. In the words of fanatical monks, this place is full of heretics.

The Old Gods seem to have truly been forgotten by time, and the desperate pleas of the Northerners have received no response.

August, Aegon 292.

The new year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the devastating defeat at the Wall is still fresh in our minds, yet the White Walkers are once again at the gates.

War broke out soon after.

Having experienced their previous defeat, the human alliance displayed even greater resilience this time, tenaciously resisting the undead army's attack.

They also prepared more oil and fire arrows, attempting to defeat these enemies who should have entered the seventh level of hell with fire.

However, ordinary flames were not enough to defeat these terrifying enemies. The Night King extinguished a patch of flames, creating a path of ice. Countless wights, who feared fire, poured in from there, instantly shattering the allied forces' lines.

After the allied forces were defeated, they fled into Winterfell. However, the city walls and gates were not enough to hold off the dead for long, and eventually the dead used their teeth and bodies to break down the gates.

The dead men, lying prostrate at the foot of the city wall, climbed frantically over the corpses of their comrades, tackled the human soldiers, and then leaped into Winterfell.

The night was deep, and the biting wind stirred up billowing smoke as flames burned in Winterfell, illuminating the entire dark sky.

The North Gate and Shenmulin fell one after another.

Next came the ruins of the tower, the first fortress, and the armory.

"kill!"

Allied soldiers and the Legion of the Dead engaged in a fierce street battle in Winterfell, fighting to the death.

As members of the family of the castle, Lady Catelyn Stark held her young son Brandon and held her youngest daughter Arya's hand.

They also took their three other children, Robb, Jon, and Sansa, and hurriedly boarded the carriage to flee south.

"Reign Supreme!"

"Caitlyn, take our children and flee to King's Landing!"

"The further south, the better!"

Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, covered in blood, gripped the Valyrian greatsword Ice, his hand tightly pressed against his wife's head, and gasped for breath as he spoke.

Even the elegant and resilient woman couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.

"No matter what happens, don't come back. Keep fleeing south, keep fleeing south..."

"If King's Landing falls, we will flee to Storm's End; if Storm's End also falls, we will flee by ship to Pentos."
