Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

They had no idea what was happening to the human world. They were like two people isolated from the world, silently praying for the safety of their families. As for whether the Seven Gods or the Old Gods were still the Seven Gods, Benjen and Lyanna had long since stopped believing. If the gods really existed, how could they allow the world to fall into a long night?

"Leanna, can we stop this altar from being built?"

The man in the tattered black cloak pondered for a moment before asking.

Lyanna, though pale, still possessed a beautiful face. Fortunately, the ice had reshaped her body; otherwise, given the state of her corpse when it was transported to the North, which was already rotting, Lyanna would have committed suicide upon revival.

It would be impossible for just the two of them to stop the White Walkers from building the altar, given the countless undead around them; exposing themselves would only lead to their deaths sooner or later.

Benjen was slightly disappointed by Lyanna's statement, but it was acceptable; in fact, he hadn't had high hopes for the matter.

"Then let's just go with the flow; things will get better eventually."

"Maybe we can return to Westeros someday."

"I just hope Ed doesn't kill us with his sword when he sees us."

Banyan even made a rare joke, and Lyanna smiled slightly.

She also longed to meet Robb, Sansa, Arya, and Brandon, whom Benjen had mentioned, and of course, most importantly, her son... Jon, now known as Jon Snow.

However, dreams are always beautiful, but reality is cruel. Lyanna just smiled for a moment and then suppressed her smile again. Benjen did the same. It was too difficult for them to go home now, and their identities were also extremely special. Not being killed was already the best outcome.

The siblings sat silently in the wind and snow.

...

And on the other side of the world.

The most unique and powerful of the free trade city-states, a beacon of human civilization and freedom.

Under the cover of darkness, the headless Titan raised its broken sword high, pointing it straight to the sky. The raging flames illuminated the spot where the Titan's head had broken off, filling the air with an eerie and ominous atmosphere. Braavos' soldiers were stationed in the fortress inside the Titan's body, meticulously scanning the dark and calm sea through each observation hole.

Meanwhile, under the watchful eyes of these Braavos soldiers, a blue-eyed shark was silently swimming beneath the Titan's legs in the cold, deep sea, heading towards the distant City That Never Sleeps, with a fully clothed humanoid creature riding on its back.

Chapter 842 Capturing the White Walkers

The person who arrived was riding a blue-eyed shark, but when they got closer, they could see the horrifying bite marks on the shark's face.

It was obvious that it was dead and was now a ghoul shark. The identity of the humanoid creature riding on the back of a ghoul shark was also quite clear.

wow——

They silently passed through the Titans of Braavos from beneath the cold, deep sea, attracting no attention, and then appeared outside the harbor of this city that never sleeps.

Purple Harbor.

This is a port accessible only to Braavos locals, located north of Braavos, beneath the reconstructed Neptune Tower dome.

Braavos, a bustling coastal city and a hub of world trade, has three ports: the largest and most luxurious Purple Harbor, the secondhand clothing market dock for foreign merchant ships, and the Grid Dock for customs inspection.

Now, this White Walker, riding a wight shark, appeared beneath the waters outside Purple Harbor. It emerged from the surface, revealing only its head, and gazed calmly at the bustling port in the distance.

Currently, the Braavos Invincible Fleet is docked in Purple Harbor. The frontline fleet has suffered heavy losses and major blows, while the shipyards in Braavos are operating at full capacity, with raw materials being continuously transported in and new warships being launched one after another to cope with the losses caused by the war.

Braavos is one of the most populous and prosperous cities in the human world, and therefore has great potential for war. This is why Braavos and Viserys have clashed several times, and the two sides were once on the verge of war, but in the end they restrained each other.

However, in order to cope with the war against the White Walkers, the entire city-state is operating at full capacity. The Valyrian Empire, which was rebuilt after the Long Night, is the country that has done the best in dealing with the crisis, followed by Braavos.

Now, almost a year has passed since the Long Night began, and Braavos has handled the situation exceptionally well, with no significant unrest occurring. Braavos has also managed to stabilize the situation.

However, the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows. Braavos became a jewel in the human world during the dark night, which also attracted the attention of the White Walkers.

"There seems to be something on the sea over there?"

On a ship patrolling the sea off Bravos, someone seemed to see something in the distance, but after rubbing their eyes and looking closely, they only saw ripples spreading out, and nothing else.

"It was just a fish, or maybe some seabird flew away."

His companion also saw the ripples spreading outwards, then shrugged and said nonchalantly, he didn't take it seriously. If a fish was worth paying attention to, they would be too busy.

"That's true."

The Braavos soldier who heard his companion’s words also thought they made sense. He nodded without saying anything more, turned his gaze elsewhere, and was just about to continue rowing his boat to patrol the sea.

However, just then, the sound of a fierce struggle suddenly came from beneath the water they had just noticed, followed by the gushing out of deep red blood that emitted a foul odor.

"what happened?"

The patrolling soldiers on the ship were terrified and quickly gripped their weapons. However, after a while, another head popped up from under the water.

This was a blood-red, hairless, half-human, half-fish monster. It was staring coldly at them, its mouth full of sharp teeth, with remnants of flesh and blood even visible in the gaps.

wow-

Then, a dozen more identical heads emerged from around the Braavos patrol boat, surrounding it completely. The soldiers on board trembled and nearly fainted, until the first head to surface spoke.

"Take me to see your Aquaman."

Victalion's voice was hoarse, and then he threw a plaque representing the Valyrian imperial family out from beneath the water.

...

"The White Walkers have appeared in Braavos?"

What do they want to do?

Meanwhile, on the front lines of the human alliance, Viserys of Theas, a city in the Kingdom of Salor, received a message from Victalion and frowned slightly.

After learning that the ocean had also fallen and countless marine creatures had become wights, Viserys used a glass candle to have Arianne send out the Deep Ones to guard the area outside Blackwater Bay.

Coburn used drugs to help stabilize the fluctuations in his subjects by injecting infected blood, ultimately transforming them into low-end versions of Deep Divers.

Although they are not as powerful as the true deep-sea divers, they still possess combat capabilities and can help the coalition control the world beneath the sea.

Viserys didn't think the Deep Ones could be of any help in this war, and his funding of Qyburn's research was based solely on the possibility of creating 'enchanted warriors' in the future.

But unexpectedly, this Deepdiver force led by Victalion actually came in handy.

On their first mission, they successfully captured a White Walker in Braavos. Since the White Walker could not swim, it was left helpless when its wight shark was killed by the Deep Ones.

Braavos holds the mining rights to dragonglass on Dragonstone and is a major manufacturer of weapons for the Allied Forces; therefore, a considerable amount of dragonglass is stored in the city of Braavos.

Victarion found Aquaman and asked them to forge a chain out of dragon glass overnight, then imprison the captured White Walkers.

At the beginning, this White Walker, the only one currently captured alive in the human world, was very irritable and kept trying to break free.

Because they could easily shatter any metal, Victarion, having learned of this characteristic of the White Walkers, did not hesitate and directly used dragon glass to forge the chains.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the unfortunate White Walker became docile, its eyes, burning with icy blue flames, silently staring at Victarion, its thoughts unknown.

Perhaps they were curious about where humans found such a monster.

The fact that the human alliance had unexpectedly captured a White Walker was certainly an exciting and joyous event.

Although humanity has clashed with the White Walkers many times since the last winter, with many White Walkers killed and even more humans dying, humanity has been learning and understanding this mysterious enemy in the process, but it is still far from enough.

But this successful capture of a White Walker may unlock many secrets about the White Walkers for humanity.

Chapter 843 The Battle of Gernasi

"The White Walkers may attack Braavos."

Combining all the known information, the silver-blonde-haired young man frowned slightly and finally came to this guess.

"May I ask how His Majesty obtained this intelligence?"

"Our people are still suffering terribly..."

After Viserys spoke, the representatives of the Kingdom of Salor and the Kingdom of Ober remained silent, but the last remaining representative of the Tree People stood up with reddened eyes and made a request.

He desperately wanted the allied forces to reclaim Everviron's homeland as soon as possible and avenge his people. However, Viserys suspected that the White Walkers were about to attack Braavos and wanted to stay in Theas temporarily, which was absolutely unacceptable to the Tree People's representatives.

While the representatives of the other city-states remained silent, they also looked at Viserys with the same gaze. After all, this was merely Viserys's conjecture, and it would indeed be somewhat unreasonable to halt the allied counter-offensive based on a mere speculation...

In the current all-out war between humans and the White Walkers, humanity has moved beyond the initial passive defensive phase and into the counter-offensive phase. The human allied forces have made great strides and have successively recovered large swathes of lost land. Although the main force of the White Walkers has not yet appeared, they have already significantly compressed the opponent's space for maneuver. It is only a matter of time before a decisive battle breaks out. Surely the White Walkers can't just sprout wings and fly away, can they?

Viserys, seeing everyone's expressions, fell into deep thought. He was not a dictator, and in fact, he was not very firm in his judgment. The main force of the undead army had not yet appeared, and the Night King and the ice dragon he rode were nowhere to be found. This was something that Viserys had been worried about.

Therefore, when Victarion informed Viserys of this through the communication between the Black Mist, he began to suspect that the White Walkers' next target was Braavos.

However, Viserys has already ordered all human city-states to build a large number of giant crossbows and equip them with dragonglass bolts. If the Night King wants to emulate the surprise attack on Iban to conquer Braavos, it won't be so easy...

However, just as Viserys was hesitating, a Dothraki cavalryman who had been sent out on patrol suddenly came in, looking travel-worn, and shouted that they had found traces of the main force of the Undead Legion.

...

The steppe warriors under Khal Drogo have always been the most elite scouts in the human alliance. They are skilled in archery and horsemanship, have strong individual combat capabilities, and are swift as the wind. Therefore, after the alliance stationed in Theas, they frequently sent out scout units to search for traces of the enemy in the distance.

A tribe led by Kasko left Theas and went east of the Old Kingdom. In a place called Vis Asgihakkali, the "City of Disease" in Dothraki, they discovered the traces of the Legion of the Dead. They were shrouded in white mist and were silently marching westward.

Meanwhile, Kas, under Mengo's command, discovered the Legion of the Dead, and the Legion also discovered them. The Dead then began a frenzied pursuit until they paid a heavy price to shake off the Legion.

However, now that the legion of the dead has been discovered, the previous argument is meaningless, and what needs to be done next is also obvious: find them, defeat them, and save the fate of the entire world.

"Now that we've discovered an army of ghouls, let's wipe them out."

Viserys' brow relaxed slightly upon hearing the Dothraki scouts' report, but he then asked another question.

"Did you see the ice dragon?"

Now all of humanity is united, with no more conflicts between races, helping each other to overcome difficulties. Viserys sits in the central chair, while the Dothraki Khal Mengo sits to his left.

The few Malchian scouts who came to report respectfully addressed Viserys as 'Khal the Dragon Rider' in Dothraki, and then stated that they had not seen any trace of the ice dragon.

If the ice dragon were there, perhaps none of them would have escaped. After all, the grassland people could use horses to shake off the ghouls' pursuit, but they couldn't outrun the giant dragon in the sky.

"No?"

Viserys's brow, which had just relaxed, furrowed again upon hearing this. He thought he had found the Night King's trail. The Night King had been biding his time for several years, while Viserys believed he had made even greater progress. Regardless of whether he could defeat him this time, he at least wanted to test his skills.

However, he did not expect that since the fall of the Long Night, the Night King's whereabouts had been elusive, and he had rarely shown himself in front of the world, as if he was deliberately avoiding Viserys, not wanting to confront him head-on, and showing none of the heroic spirit he had shown when he faced King Robert's thousands of troops alone on horseback.

"He chickened out?"

"That can't be right."

Viserys thought this was unlikely, but since the Night King wasn't backing down, he must be planning something big, which was why he rarely showed himself.

"event?"

...

The Kingdom of Ancient Salor has a vast territory. To meet the main force of this undead army, the allied forces would need to traverse the entire territory of Ancient Salor from their encampment in Ceas towards the east.
