Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 876 Battle

The final battle between humans and the White Walkers broke out in Corhol. However, the war broke out very suddenly, and humans were not fully prepared for the final battle.

"Hoohoho-"

An endless horde of corpses, riding on the rising white mist, roared terrifyingly as they surged toward the city walls.

Meanwhile, on the walls of Kohol, human soldiers from all over the world, dressed in various types of armor, with different hair colors and skin tones, worked together to resist the zombie horde's attack.

"You lads!"

"Aim before you fire!"

"Don't let your hands shake!"

The pirate governor from the Kingdom of Three Daughters, dressed in a brightly colored cloak, wielding a scimitar, and wearing a pure black eye patch, gazed at the horde of corpses approaching in the distance, riding on a thin white mist. Standing on a wooden barrel filled with oil, he took a deep breath and then spoke loudly.

He tried hard to control his trembling, but his pale face and slightly shaking hands betrayed his inner thoughts. Salado Sann regretted his impulsive actions more than ever before.

The Emperor ordered the conscription of soldiers for an expedition to the Eastern Continent. Some soldiers would be sent from the northern borders of the Empire, the Royal Territories, and the Reach, but the majority would still come from the lands of Essos.

With troops dispatched from Pentos and Andalus, the Emperor ordered the governors of the three kingdoms of his three daughters—Rice, Tyros, and Myr—to also send reinforcements.

Neither Lord Tyrossi nor Governor Rees personally led the troops; only Salado Sun volunteered, and now he's kicking himself.

If I had known this would happen, why was I so eager in the first place? Wouldn't it have been better to stay in my palace with my wife and children?

In contrast to the chaos among the Allied soldiers in other regions, the Imperial army performed remarkably well.

This is mainly due to the top-down influence of commanders and generals on the performance of the entire army. If the commander is incompetent, no matter how much the soldiers are trained, they will not be able to exert their combat effectiveness. However, if the commander is capable, the soldiers at the bottom will be motivated and exert greater combat effectiveness.

A raging soldier, and a raging nest.

"First volley!"

"Prepare!"

The commanders, clad in the iconic black and red armor of the Valyrian Empire, gazed intently at the horde of corpses rolling in from afar. Then, with a short and forceful command, all the archers ignited their arrows and raised them high, pointing them straight to the sky.

"put!"

"put!"

bang bang bang-

With the sound of the bowstring snapping, a dense barrage of arrows flew into the sky, followed by a rain of fire.

Ordinary flames are harmless to White Walkers, but they can still be an obstacle for wights.

The Imperial archers unleashed a volley of arrows, their longbows capable of shooting over two hundred meters. The ghouls charging at the front were struck by the arrows and fell to the ground, their bodies engulfed in flames from the arrows. They did not die instantly, but were then trampled to pieces by the ghouls that followed.

"Prepare for the second salvo!"

After a volley of fire ended, the first squad of archers retreated, and the second squad of Imperial archers took their place.

Countess Twilight Hall, from the island of Stormland Tas, brandished her longsword and roared once more, her voice hoarse.

Brienne is an outstanding graduate of the Imperial Military Academy. She served in the former Golden Company, now the Imperial Fourth Army, stationed at the Neck. After the Long Night, she was transferred with part of the Fourth Army to the Wall.

Later, the High Council, dedicated to humanity's salvation, convened in King's Landing, and the Emperor issued a decree to form an expeditionary force to cross the sea and rescue the remaining human city-states from the White Walkers.

Viserys had no intention of transferring Countess Twilighthall and wanted her to stay at the Wall, but Brienne of Tarth volunteered to join the expeditionary force and make a name for herself.

After going through layers of approval, Robb Stark was among the second group to board the warship and cross the Narrow Sea to reach the continent of Essos.

Brienne joined the human alliance as one of the commanders of the Imperial army. She led a mixed infantry force of archers to guard a section of the city wall, which was now facing a raging horde of zombies.

"Prepare for the second salvo!"

"put!"

The tall, buck-toothed, big-mouthed female knight with dry, straw-like hair gripped her greatsword in both hands, her palms soaked with sweat, and then gave the order once again.

The horde of corpses surged forward at incredible speed. The imperial archers on the city wall were divided into three teams. After the first volley ended, one team of archers retreated, and the second team took their place. After the second team finished firing, the third team of archers moved up. The first team had also rested for the time being.

The Imperial Longbow can shoot arrows over two hundred meters long. However, archers are not an agile class, but a pure strength-based class. After a volley, the archers' arms are sore and they can't draw their bows again. That's why they need to take turns shooting to kill the enemy as much as possible.

bang bang bang-

Another round of fire rained down, and many of the ghouls that charged ahead fell, but they were unable to stop the speed at which the ghoul horde surged toward the city wall.

Unlike human soldiers, ghouls do not possess emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. When faced with setbacks, their morale will drop and they will feel fear. Ghouls will only charge forward headlong.

Therefore, the White Walkers' fearless nature can cause the morale of an army that has never seen a horde of zombies to collapse. This is how Loras fell under the White Walkers' strong attack.

Fortunately, the Allied soldiers were the most elite warriors of mankind. They had fought countless battles against the White Walkers, so they did not panic when faced with the White Walkers' overwhelming force, but instead launched a well-organized counterattack.

"emission!"

"emission!"

The total number of human allied forces originally exceeded 200,000, but as the war progressed, many were gradually lost. However, the garrison remaining in Kohor still exceeded 150,000, and countless weapons of war were forged, including catapults, giant crossbows, and rolling logs and stones.

Kohol is the main base of the human alliance, and weapons of war crafted by artisans from Braavos and Pentos are continuously transported here.

Therefore, Corhol is now a giant arsenal. Humanity has also made many preparations for this long war with the White Walkers, and has even put aside past grievances and united as one.

Now, they are sparing no effort in unleashing firepower on the enemy, sending flaming boulders flying into the sky before crashing down and creating a deep crater.

The ability to use tools is the foundation for humans to be the first animals to develop intelligence.

However, humans created a large number of weapons to resist the zombie horde. Although they were very powerful and the zombies fell in rows under the rain of arrows and the roar of catapults, the final result was minimal.

The horde of zombies was only slightly slowed down, and it continued to surge toward the walls of Kohol like mad dogs.

Chapter 877 Plan

The reason for this is quite simple: there are just too many ghouls.

They swept through the heart of Essos, conquering numerous countries, towns, and villages, and successively breaching human city-states. The number of wights has now far surpassed that of the last war that took place in Westeros.

In fact, King Robert made many contributions in leading the Seven Kingdoms in the war against the White Walkers, a fact that Viserys also acknowledged.

Robert Baratheon was not a good king, nor a good husband or father, but he was certainly a master of warfare.

Without his decision to orchestrate the Great Escape to the North, the situation for the Seven Kingdoms after the fall of Winterfell would have been even worse than what Essos is in today.

Perhaps the Seven Kingdoms wouldn't have survived until the Targaryen army arrived to provide support, or perhaps the overwhelming horde of corpses would have scared Viserys away, in which case none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

The endless, dark horde of corpses, braving a hail of arrows and boulders hurled from catapults, crossed a temporary trench about five meters wide and finally reached the foot of the city wall.

At this moment, humanity finally unleashed another deadly weapon.

"Hurry up!"

Be careful!

Several Dothraki warriors dressed in animal skins carefully carried a jar covered with a black cloth. It looked like a wine jar, but the way the Dothraki were carrying it was not like they were carrying a jar of wine, but more like they were carrying the urn of their Khal's ashes. They were very careful.

They then carefully carried the jar to the city wall, exchanged a glance, and chanted a Dothraki number similar to "one, two, three." Together, they forcefully threw the jar, covered in black cloth, over the city wall.

Then, as if there was a ghost in the jar, I hurriedly ran to the back and didn't even dare to look.

Snapped--

The jar covered with a black cloth was thrown down from the city wall, hitting the heads of the ghouls huddled together below, baring their fangs and claws as they tried to climb up, and then making a crisp sound as the jar shattered.

However, these ghouls, who had long since lost their minds, naturally had no idea what kind of demons were inside the jar. They only felt a burning liquid, like sulfuric acid, flowing onto their scalps and skin.

boom--

The next second, accompanied by a loud explosion, green flames shot into the sky, and a large number of dazed and confused ghouls were reduced to ashes in the sudden explosion.

The ghouls that were caught in the aftershocks of the explosion also caught green flames, but these flames seemed to be demonic fire from the seventh level of hell, and could not be extinguished. So these ghouls that were tainted by the flames could only fall to the ground and not move in their mad howls.

Boom boom boom—

Then, the sound of wildfires exploding echoed from all directions around Kohol.

Call ~

The green flames from the wildfire burned beneath the walls of Kohor, enveloping the entire city in a green glow, making it seem like a real hellish city. The sky above Kohor was also illuminated by the green flames.

The horde of corpses that had just piled up under the city walls vanished in an instant. The flames purified the evil, making it much cleaner. They were all burned to death, or even turned into ashes.

The wights have no minds; they are not afraid of death and simply obey the commands of the Others. However, based on the principle of wight birth, they also have an instinctive fear that surpasses even death: the attraction and fear of all light and heat.

Ice can extinguish flames, and flames can melt solid ice.

The wildfires burning in all directions not only turned countless wights below the city to ashes, but also stopped the White Walkers from continuing their attack. They feared the flames and were thus blocked by the green flames, unable to launch another attack, giving humanity a brief respite.

Faced with the White Walkers' attack, humanity finally unleashed their trump card against the wights.

The good news is that wildfire is absolutely lethal to ordinary ghouls. These mindless zombies will obediently walk into the trap set by humans and be completely burned to the ground.

The bad news is that this war has only just begun, and humanity has been forced to use its trump card. So how can they continue to resist the zombie horde?

As the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, Bessie Joyce, wearing a mask, stood at the highest point in the city of Kohol, overlooking the entire battlefield. The cold iron surface reflected the eerie firelight, and the calm eyes beneath the mask also reflected the flickering flames.

No one knew what he was thinking. The entire battlefield was currently engaged in a battle of offense and defense, and his command was not needed.

Bessie's personal guards stood ready, their hands on their sword hilts, and were not allowed to approach except to pass out a few simple and efficient orders.

Kohol was surrounded by the White Walkers in a sudden attack, which caught everyone off guard. However, no one knew that Bessie had foreseen all of this long ago, but he also did not expect the White Walkers to come so quickly. He thought he had some time to prepare.

Before leaving the Allied Forces, Viserys had a secret meeting with Bessie, and the decisive battle that broke out in Kohol was actually planned by the two of them.

Although the tactic of deliberately exposing weaknesses to attract the White Walkers' siege and then launching a counterattack from the center is an extremely crazy risk, even risking total annihilation.

However, to reverse the current decline and lure the White Walkers into a decisive battle, one must take risks. Relying on a step-by-step, methodical approach will only lead to being dragged down and killed by the White Walkers.

Therefore, Viserys and Bessie secretly planned this final battle, concealing crucial information and forcing everyone to be involved in the battle instead of escaping beforehand.

Although this war involves enormous risks and will inevitably require huge sacrifices, it is a sacrifice for the light and future of all mankind, and is therefore worthwhile.

"bring it on."

Bessie clenched his fists slightly, and no one knew that his palms were also covered in cold sweat.

The world considers him and Oberyn to be the two pillars of Viserys's army, supporting half of the empire.

Oberyn's military tactics were unconventional, and his style was steady and methodical, but these views are actually one-sided.
