Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

The green flames blocked the advance of the horde of zombies, but the White Walkers hidden within the horde finally revealed themselves.

They moved silently, leaving no footprints on the snow. They emerged from the horde of corpses in unison, their icy armor reflecting the light of the flames, the rising flames distorting the air.

Then they raised their hands, and the thin ice beneath their feet seemed to come alive, spreading forward and quickly extinguishing the wildfire and clearing a path through it.

However, at this moment...

bang bang bang-

On the walls of Corhol, giant crossbows, which had been waiting for a long time, were aimed at the White Walkers who had willingly offered themselves up.

Then, dragon crystal crossbow bolts whistled as they shot out, heading straight for the White Walkers who had shown themselves.

Chapter 878 Hunt

Not far below the city wall, the White Walkers, hearing the sound of the giant crossbow strings twanging, suddenly raised their heads, their eyes burning with icy blue flames.

The next second, the dragon crystal crossbow bolts, gleaming with a cold black light, arrived in an instant with a sharp whistling sound.

The deep, dark dragon crystal touched the White Walkers' icy armor, just as a newly forged, red-hot dagger was suddenly plunged into icy water for quenching.

The ice water instantly boiled, and the unstoppable flames ruthlessly destroyed the White Walkers' body structure, shattering them into pieces like broken ice.

With a few crisp sounds of ice shattering, hundreds of giant crossbows fired simultaneously, and bolts loaded with dragon crystal arrowheads rained down, instantly striking several unsuspecting White Walkers.

ka ka ka-

They didn't even have time to be stunned, nor did they utter a single word, before instantly turning into shattered ice all over the ground.

Due to the extremely poor aiming of the giant crossbows, apart from the bolts that killed the White Walkers, most of the bolts ended up stuck in the snow outside Cohol, while some flew into the horde of corpses, piercing through a whole string of them like candied hawthorns on a skewer.

"Kill these sons of bitches!"

On the city wall, a coalition soldier operating a giant crossbow had slightly red eyes. He was from Braavos and had already heard that his homeland had been destroyed by the White Walkers.

However, in reality, there are quite a few people in the Allied Forces who have a blood feud with the White Walkers.

After all, they had been fighting the White Walkers for so long, and countless of their comrades and friends had died at their hands. The reason many of them were still alive was because they had killed these monsters.

Dragonglass crossbow bolts were actually made specifically for hunting White Walkers; they were extremely expensive to produce, and each one was very precious.

After all, while Dragonstone's dragon crystal veins are abundant, they are not inexhaustible.

Furthermore, although dragon crystal is a sharp material, it is also too rigid and very brittle. It can easily break if you are not careful, so it requires a highly skilled craftsman to forge it.

The giant crossbow has a long range and great power, making it perfect for hunting White Walkers with arrows made of dragon glass. Ordinary arrows with dragon glass arrowheads cannot penetrate the ice armor covering the White Walkers from a distance, and therefore have no killing power.

While dragon glass has a restraining effect on White Walkers, it still needs to shatter the ice armor to be effective against them. It's not that a White Walker will die the moment the dragon glass touches it; otherwise, the White Walkers wouldn't pose such a significant obstacle to humanity.

Dragonglass bolts actually played a role on the battlefield of Braavos, where soldiers used them to snipe White Walkers in street fighting on the eve of Braavos' fall.

However, the Allied soldiers were unaware that they had witnessed the hidden weapon, the Dragon Crystal Arrow, shining brightly and instantly sniping several White Walkers, which boosted their morale!

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

Dragonglass bolts are another trump card in the human army. This is a weapon that can truly threaten the lives of the White Walkers from a distance. After fighting the White Walkers for so long, humans are no longer passively taking hits, but have the ability to counterattack and kill the White Walkers.

bang bang bang-

Then, more giant crossbow bolts burst forth from the walls of Corhol, the dragon crystal bolts whistling as they tore through the air, once again hurtling towards the White Walkers who had just survived.

However, the White Walkers were caught off guard, but they were not unaware of the principle of learning from their mistakes. Without any communication between them, they turned around and disappeared back into the horde of corpses.

Now that humans possess weapons that can threaten their safety, they will no longer easily appear within human sight.

The second round of dragon crystal crossbow bolts had little effect, merely piercing a few skewers of candied hawthorns in the horde without hitting the cunning White Walkers. However, this loss was negligible compared to the vast horde of zombies.

"stop!"

"stop!"

Seeing that the White Walkers had cleverly hidden themselves, the commanders on the walls of Corhol quickly ordered the giant crossbows to stop firing.

"Act according to the situation, aim before you fire!"

After all, dragonglass crossbow bolts are very expensive to make, and each one is extremely precious. They were created by humans with the high hopes that they would be used to kill the White Walkers.

Ideally, a single dragon crystal bolt would be enough to take the life of a White Walker; it would be too wasteful to use it on a worthless wight.

In fact, the ghouls are not difficult to deal with. If it were just these mindless ghouls, even if there were a million or two million, it would not be a problem. The real difficulty is dealing with the masters of these ghouls.

At the highest point in Kohol stands a towering tower.

This place was once a place of worship for the Black Goat God, but since the Red God Cult staged a power grab in Kohor, successfully defeated the followers of the Black Goat God, and burned the statue of the Black Goat God, it has become the palace of Lahllo.

Bessie remained standing there, overlooking the entire battlefield, constantly issuing orders and setting up Kohol's defenses.

Humanity's first trump card, wildfire, was played, halting the advance of the zombie horde and giving them a chance to catch their breath. The White Walkers then used ice to extinguish the wildfire, prompting humanity to play their second trump card: dragon crystal bolts that hunted down several White Walkers.

The second trump card is even more significant; at least now the White Walkers dare not show themselves so easily.

After the wildfire was extinguished, the horde of zombies continued its assault on Kohol's walls along the land covered by a thin layer of ice.

"Haven't we arrived yet?"

Upon witnessing this scene, the middle-aged man wearing a metal mask couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the sky.

However, at that moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, because he saw a blurry little dot suddenly appear in the distance under the dark sky.

The next second, that inconspicuous little dot suddenly magnified wildly in his field of vision!

"coming!"

Bessie's heart skipped a beat; he had waited so long for the result.

His worst fear was that the enemy would not appear for a long time, but instead rely on the zombie horde to keep besieging them day and night, eventually wearing them down to death.

If that's really the case, then there's nothing he can do.

After all, the human alliance was not on the same level as the enemy in terms of numbers, and such tactics had no flaws.

But as long as the other party doesn't cheat like that, any extra moves will create openings, and those openings will be their chance to launch a counterattack!

"Roar--"

A giant dragon with eyes burning with icy blue flames and its body covered in icy scales suddenly swooped down from the sky.

It headed straight for the tower in Kohol, as if it already knew that the human commander was hiding there.

Chapter 879 Target: Ice Dragon

"Run away!"

Upon seeing this, Bessie turned and fled without hesitation. Meanwhile, not far away, rows of giant crossbows covered in black cloth were already ready beneath the outer perimeter of the tower.

The allied soldiers who were in charge of operating these dragon crystal crossbows saw the ice dragon descending from the sky and flying in their direction. Their first thought was not fear, but excitement from head to toe!

"The ice dragon has really arrived!"

"What you say is correct, sir!"

"Kill this beast!"

"We will be dragon slayers!"

It was no secret that humanity's enemy possessed an ice dragon, and Bessie was actually waiting for the ice dragon to arrive when she stood atop the tallest tower in the city of Kohor.

He believed the White Walkers would not let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity pass by to carry out a decapitation strike, and the White Walkers did indeed do as he expected, riding an ice dragon and swooping down from the sky, directly in his direction.

Unfortunately for the White Walker, it didn't realize it was a trap. The human commander used himself as bait to lure it into attacking, while the real target was the ice dragon beneath it.

"Ho-"

Ice dragons are enormous, with bodies made of ice and snow, eyes that are pale blue crystals, and they flap their huge, translucent wings to exhale icy breath.

The ice dragon ridden by this White Walker who couldn't hold back and took the initiative to attack appears to be one of the ice dragons that fought Rhaegal and Viserion on the Wall.

It defeated the white dragon Viserion with its strong body and its fearless, relentless biting, even when it was injured.

Because it lacked a dragon knight to fight alongside it, Viserion's will to fight weakened, and its survival instinct took over. Whenever it was wounded and bled, it would try to escape. Viserion has been missing since the aerial battle at the Wall.

During this time, Daenerys was extremely weak because she had just given birth, so she did not go to find it herself, and she did not receive a response when she tried to call it through the telepathy between the dragon riders.

However, some claim to have seen the white dragon in the Wolfwood outside Winterfell, where it appears to be resting and recovering from its injuries.

However, dragons are extremely dangerous creatures, and sending out any other soldiers would be suicide, except for Daenerys herself, to retrieve them.

The ice dragon that once defeated Viserion above the Wall has now appeared above Kohor.

It swooped down from the sky, intending to burn the human commander to death, never imagining that this place was a carefully prepared trap for it.

The ice dragon descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed, transforming from a small black dot in the sky into a colossal creature in the blink of an eye.

It flew over Kohol, directly above the towering tower, and was now in a very dangerous position. The closer the dragon was to the ground, the larger its size made it a bigger target, and the more likely humans were to hit its body, or even its vital parts.

"Roar--"

The ice dragon let out a low roar and spewed icy blue flames, slamming them into the towering tower. It didn't believe that humans had any weapons that could harm it.

"not good."

In that short time, Bessie, who hadn't even run down from the tower, saw this scene from the stairwell window and knew something was wrong. Without hesitation, she jumped from the tower, several meters above the ground.

Rumbling--

The cascading, icy blue flames, like a jet of water from a high-pressure water gun, slammed into the highest point in the city of Kohor, causing the ancient building, a symbol of the Black Goat God worship for hundreds of years, to let out a mournful cry.

Then, in the next second, it was utterly destroyed by the surging icy blue dragon flames, and was actually cut in half at the waist. The upper half collapsed and crashed to the ground.

Bessie had just jumped down from the tower, thus escaping disaster. The point where the dragon flame had cleaved him in half was exactly where he had been standing. He jumped down and landed on the stable next to him, smashing the roof of the stable, which provided some cushioning. Then he rolled on the ground and got up somewhat disheveled.

He looked up and saw half of the tower collapsing with a roar. His eyes, hidden behind the metal mask, narrowed slightly, but he remained calm.

Ever since he rushed into the fire to save people and nearly burned to death, nothing could make him panic. He then ignored the soreness in his body and turned to run in another direction.

Meanwhile, dozens of dragon crystal crossbows were secretly lurking around the tower, some positioned on the streets and others on the rooftops of nearby houses, but all pointing in the same direction.

Their mission here was to wait for this moment. As expected, the ice dragon descended from the sky and then removed the black cloth used to conceal itself from the Others, revealing a grotesque array of weapons of war beneath. The dark, deep dragon crystal crossbow heads gleamed with a chilling light.

Several Allied soldiers hidden nearby worked together to operate a giant crossbow. Their movements were very skillful, indicating that they had rehearsed countless times and were definitely not conscripts.
