Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Two people were responsible for cocking the crossbow, one for loading the bolts, and one for aiming. The person responsible for aiming was the core personnel of the entire crossbow as a combat unit.

The power of a giant crossbow depends entirely on how accurately it is fired.

But humanity has been preparing for this hidden trump card for who knows how long, and all the giant crossbowmen are handpicked from the best archers.

Among them were even Dothraki, who were considered 'savages'. There were many skilled archers among the Dothraki, so many of the crossbowmen came from these grassland warriors.

They maneuvered their giant crossbows, aiming at the colossal creature that had descended from the sky in the darkness. This was their only chance; if they failed to kill the ice dragon on their first attempt, it would never again swoop down so easily.

Time is very limited, and opportunities are fleeting.

The ice dragon swooped down from the sky and entered the danger zone. These allied soldiers, who were once strangers or even enemies, quickly removed the black cloths used for concealment. One of them carried a dragon crystal crossbow bolt that could kill the ice dragon and loaded it. The other two pulled the rope to cock the bolt and then aimed at the ice dragon.

At the critical moment, he let out a roar.

"Kill this beast!"

bang bang bang-

In the darkness, the trap meticulously set by humans was aimed at the ice dragon controlled by the White Walkers. The dragon carelessly fell into the danger zone, and what awaited it was dozens of dragon crystal crossbow bolts that had been waiting for a long time, whistling as they pierced the air and flew straight towards the ice dragon's vital parts.

Puff puff--

next second.

Several dragon crystal crossbow bolts pierced the thick scales on the ice dragon at such close range.

"Roar…"

Upon realizing it had fallen into a trap, the ice dragon roared angrily and flapped its wings, trying to gain altitude and escape.

puff--

However, at that moment, a dragon crystal crossbow bolt, whether by accident or by fate, pierced one of its eyes with perfect accuracy, going deep into its eye socket.

Chapter 880 Slaying the Dragon

A dragon crystal crossbow bolt shot out from the darkness and pierced the ice dragon's eye socket.

The effect of dragon crystals piercing a wight is completely different from that of White Walkers. White Walkers shatter into ice shards, while controlled wights die completely, their corpses remaining intact.

Under the dark sky, the endless horde of zombies was still besieging the city-state of Kohor, the main base of the human alliance. Snow was falling continuously, soon covering the entire city in a silver-white blanket.

"kill!"

The human allied soldiers fought desperately against the zombie horde's attack, battling fiercely and daring not to retreat, because they all knew they were surrounded. In this battle, either they would win or die and become part of the zombie horde.

Just then, a painful and shrill cry of an ice dragon suddenly came from afar.

The dragon crystal crossbow bolt pierced its eye, going straight through the eye socket. This was arguably the biggest weakness of the dragon, whose entire body was covered in thick scales.

Because of the ice dragon's enormous size, it did not die immediately after the dragon crystal crossbow bolt pierced it. It let out a painful and shrill cry, as if it truly knew that it was about to die forever.

The last time he died, he was killed by the Night King. This time, he will die forever from the Dragon Crystal Arrow. Even though he still has a complete corpse, the cold winter winds will make it impossible for him to be resurrected.

Dragonglass, this magical underground substance, was called 'Frozen Fire' by the Valyrians. It seemed to truly destroy the soul of the wight like a flame, making it impossible for it to be 'resurrected' again.

A blanket of white snow covered the sky over Kohor.

Many human soldiers turned around upon hearing the mournful cry and discovered that an ice dragon had descended from the sky and arrived in Kohor's city, burning a tall tower with its icy blue dragon flames.

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, the ice dragon suddenly plummeted from a position very close to the ground above Kohor, like a large passenger plane stalling and crashing. Its huge wings flapped incessantly, trying to stop itself from falling, but ultimately to no avail.

The massive dragon then crashed down onto the buildings on the ground, utterly destroying the temple of the Black Goat God, as well as some nearby houses. Some of the dragon crystal crossbowmen and the soldiers who were lying in ambush there were unlucky enough to be crushed underneath.

The earth trembled violently, stirring up dust and accumulated snow that rose ten meters high, visible from a great distance.

The ice dragon, with a black dragon crystal crossbow bolt stuck in one of its eye sockets, plummeted from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground. The violent impact intensified its pain, and it raised its head high, letting out a loud and piercing roar. It seemed to know that it was doomed, but still wanted to fight back desperately and burn these despicable humans to death.

However, several more dragon crystal bolts pierced through the gaps in its scales, and one bolt went through a gap in its neck scales, ending its life.

"Roar--"

The ice dragon let out a final roar, and the icy blue flames burning in its eyes slowly died down. Its body seemed to have lost all its strength, losing the foundation that supported its massive dragon form, and then it collapsed like a toppled mountain.

boom--

A dragon crystal crossbow bolt was stuck in its long neck, and its huge, ferocious head smashed a nearby house. Fortunately, the houses in the vicinity had been evacuated for this operation. A dragon crystal crossbow bolt was also stuck in the eye socket of the ice dragon, but its eyes had lost all color and become completely black and deep.

"Success!"

"Great!"

The ice dragon fell into a trap carefully set by humans and was hunted down, plummeting from the sky. All the human soldiers who witnessed this cheered and their morale soared instantly.

Since the allied forces began their full-scale war against the White Walkers, they have achieved a series of victories. At the beginning, they were on the defensive and were being attacked one-sidedly. Later, they gradually fought back and forth. This time, the humans successfully hunted down an enemy ice dragon without the help of their own dragons. How could this not boost the morale of everyone?

Meanwhile, at the scene where the ice dragon was hunted down, the ice dragon fell to the ground with an arrow in its eye, and a White Walker was riding on its back.

It was the controller of this ice dragon, and it was violently thrown out when the ice dragon fell from the sky.

If an ordinary human were to be thrown so hard, they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die on the spot, but it was completely unharmed.

The ice armor made a sound, and the White Walker knelt on one knee without saying a word, then stood up again.

The icy blue flames in its eyes still burned, then it turned its head and looked around at its surroundings.

It fell into a human city, which was also hell for the White Walkers, because there were too many people who wanted to hunt it down.

Humans were once like lambs to the slaughter when faced with the White Walkers. A single White Walker entering a human city would scare everyone away, because ordinary weapons were completely ineffective against it.

However, times have changed, and fortunes have turned. After fully understanding this enemy, humanity is no longer so afraid, because even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone the White Walkers who have driven humanity to the brink of life and death.

The White Walker stood in this unfamiliar environment and looked around. At that moment, Bessie, who had just escaped from the ruins, also staggered out.

The Otherworldly creature saw its human commander, and the flames in its eyes flickered slightly. Then, without a word, it drew a long, icy sword from its waist.

Meanwhile, Bessie, wearing an iron mask, had just escaped from the ruins, panting slightly, never expecting to encounter this White Walker head-on.

His eyes narrowed slightly, showing a hint of surprise, but he remained silent, showing no sign of panic.

Bessie leaned back a few steps, supporting herself on the collapsed wall. Both the human and the ghost remained silent, as if in a silent war.

The White Walkers then drew their icy swords and charged at him, intending to kill the human commander they considered a thorn in their side.

"Here!"

"Protect the adults!"

However, at this moment, the Allied soldiers also noticed this scene.

They were searching for the White Walkers that had fallen into the city, and also for their commander who had been trapped in the ruins, when the two of them unexpectedly ran into each other.

"kill!"

Bessie leaned against the wall, panting heavily, while the Allied soldiers who had spotted the White Walker swarmed forward to attack the lone creature.

Ding ding—

The clash of weapons produced a sound; ordinary weapons shattered upon touching the White Walker's body, while the White Walker, wielding an icy longsword and with his white beard flying wildly, slaughtered human soldiers one after another like a madman.

But in the end, a soldier seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the back with a dragon crystal dagger.

The dragon crystal dagger pierced the White Walker's back, its icy blue flames flickering violently, before it let out its first roar, like ice shattering.

Then it turned into shards of ice and scattered all over the ground.

Chapter 881 Retreat

The successful hunting down of a ghoul ice dragon, coupled with the dragon rider of that ice dragon, demonstrates the remarkable effectiveness of humanity's meticulous preparations for this war.

However, despite these brilliant achievements, it does not mean that the war has been won or that victory is assured.

Because Bessie's initial goal was to lure the Night King and his ice dragon, which was even larger than 'Black Death' Balerion.

"There are too many enemies. They never get tired, never stop, and are oblivious to everything. It is absolutely impossible to defeat them in a head-on confrontation, and we cannot hold out even if we defend to the death."

Contingency plans were made at Corhol's pre-battle meeting; the Night King is the core of the army of the dead, a fact that needs no further explanation and is known to all.

Therefore, to win this war, the ultimate goal is to kill the Night King, and once the Night King is killed, his army of the dead will vanish.

However, how to kill the Night King became a problem for the human alliance. Of course, it would be best to lure him out.

However, the reality is that although the Night King has an ice dragon that is even larger than Balerion as his mount, he is still very cautious. According to all the information available so far, there are no more than ten known sightings of the Night King by humans.

It's important to know that humans have already clashed with the White Walkers twice in just ten years, with the most recent war lasting for almost a year and a half. Yet, the Night King has appeared before humans less than ten times, including during the attack on Iban.

Therefore, it can be said that the Night King was already very cautious. It carefully hid itself and never showed itself easily, let alone reveal any flaws that would allow humans to catch it.

Bessie hoped that this trap would lure out the Night King, the White Walker's boss, and then kill him with a barrage of dragonglass crossbow bolts.

Of course, there's nothing to be discouraged about not succeeding in the end, since successfully hunting down an ice dragon is still a glorious achievement.

The war on the front lines continued, and the surging horde of corpses was neither frightened nor enraged by the sacrifice of an ice dragon and a White Walker. They continued to assault the human city walls at their own pace.

Although humanity has stockpiled ample combat supplies, it ultimately could not withstand the relentless attacks that came one after another, like the rising tide. After all, humans are not machines and cannot remain on high alert 24/7.

The surging ghouls, braving the dense rain of arrows, finally formed a human ladder, like mad dogs, using their flesh and blood to create a small hill that stretched towards the top of the city wall.

The ghouls stormed onto the city walls, and the allied soldiers, who were already prepared, finally began close combat with these enemies.

"kill!"

"Drive them out of the city!"

Countess Brienne Tass of Twilight Hall roared and drew her longsword from her waist. Without warning, her longsword suddenly burst into flames.

The ugly-faced, tall female knight remained calm in the face of this sudden situation, because behind these soldiers were a large number of red-robed monks who worshipped Rahlo. These were the work of the red-robed monks.

The Black Goat God worship of Kohor's native lands was driven out, and the followers of Rahlo controlled the city-state. As a result, there are now a great many Rahlo followers in Kohor, and red-robed monks are as numerous as you can find.

These red-robed monks played a crucial role in the war, chanting incantations together to imbue the weapons of the allied soldiers with the power of fire.

For this reason, the longsword in her hand suddenly burst into flames. Brienne of Tarth did not panic at all, because she knew that this was the help of her companions. Instead, she held the longsword burning with raging flames and swung it like a whirlwind, rushing towards the wights that were charging up the city wall.
