Robb Stark stared blankly at his uncle and his aunt, whom he had never met before.

The Imperial soldiers around them were all on high alert. After all, Lyanna was a White Walker, and Benjen was not a living person either, but they could speak human language normally.

However, after much deliberation, Robb ultimately chose to believe his aunt and uncle. The main reason was that the White Walker claiming to be his aunt Lyanna was holding an ice blade to his neck, leaving Robb no choice but to believe them.

Humanity repelled the White Walkers' attack thanks to the presence of dragons. However, Viserys pursued the Night King, and the two disappeared without a trace. How to control and communicate with the dragons became a problem.

However, to their surprise, the dragon brought them two unexpected people: Princess Diana, Viserys' eldest daughter, and Prince Heros, Viserys' eldest son.

Chapter 896 Victory in War

Princess Diana and Prince Horos's appearance here was indeed unexpected, as this place is still a battlefield. Although the White Walkers have temporarily retreated, they may return at any time, and the place remains fraught with danger.

However, the appearance of the two princes did indeed solve the problem of the allied forces being unable to control the dragon.

In fact, although Diana and Holos were very young, they would not encounter any danger.

After all, they had four giant dragons to protect their safety, and the Imperial army made up the majority of the human alliance.

Moreover, being born into the imperial family, the Targaryen siblings were extraordinary from birth, but they also had to bear the responsibilities that came with their status, so they could not be like ordinary noble children.

The Valyrian princess and prince were quickly protected by the imperial army after they landed.

Over the next two weeks, the White Walkers launched surprise attacks from all directions, while the last remaining forces of the human alliance stubbornly huddled in the center of the ruined city, determined to live or die with Corhol.

The commander of the undead army seemed to be intentionally luring the humans to flee Kohol City, employing a strategy of encircling three sides while leaving one open, but the human commanders did not fall for it.

Although the White Walkers always created openings, like a skilled predator guiding its prey's survival instincts to flee from safety, Bessie saw through their tricks and ordered her to hold the line and not retreat an inch.

Although the city-state of Kohor had been razed to the ground in this great war, the complex urban ruins could still be transformed into simple fortifications to help humanity defend itself.

Once humanity's will to resist collapses, they fall into the White Walkers' trap and abandon the city ruins to flee outwards.

Outside Kohol City lies an endless plain. Those who try to escape will not only fail to get away, but will also become prey for the zombie horde.

However, upon discovering that the humans had not fallen for the trap, the White Walkers seemed to become enraged and launched increasingly frequent and reckless attacks, disregarding the consequences.

And Diana, the 'wolf girl,' played a crucial role in all of this.

She was the only White Walker to 'defect' from the White Walker side. Although she revealed her identity, it was not an easy task to convince the human commanders, who were already bloodthirsty with the White Walkers, of her identity.

However, thanks to her status, Diana made advance predictions and provided intelligence, pointing out the direction of the White Walker attacks, which made everyone lower their guard against her slightly.

After Viserys and the Night King disappeared one after another, the war continued for about two more weeks. The Targaryen siblings stayed by Bessie's side, learning, observing, and personally experiencing the cruelty of war.

There is a famous saying in Westeros, spoken by a wise man, which roughly means that if a king cannot personally experience war and does not understand its cruelty, he will become warlike, frequently launch wars, and ultimately lead to the destruction of the country.

The Targaryen siblings also did not put on airs of being a princess and prince in front of the Allied soldiers.

This is related to Viserys's education of them.

Diana and Herros went to pay their respects to Governor Pentos as soon as they arrived at the military camp.

The siblings had only heard of their father's right-hand men by name, but had never met them.

However, they maintained the respect due to their elders and behaved with humility and politeness, which made the soldiers around them, who had never seen the imperial princess and prince before, exclaim that the royal family's education was excellent, and that their own sons were simply unruly if they were not disciplined for three days.

Princess Diana and Prince Holos followed Bessie not only to learn and observe ceremonies, but also occasionally to obey Bessie's orders and command the dragons to attack.

Then one day, something strange suddenly happened.

The seemingly endless horde of zombies suddenly collapsed, catching the human soldiers trapped in their desperate situation somewhat off guard.

"what!"

"Go to hell!"

"Go to hell!"

They were still frantically waving their longswords, which had long since been dulled, when they suddenly realized that there were no enemies around them.

bang——

One of the soldiers from the North was still in a daze, swinging his longsword and nearly injuring his comrade next to him. Then Robb punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground and making him much more conscious.

"How is this going?"

Be careful.

All around were raging flames, and humanity was still stubbornly resisting with the last of its oil.

However, no one knew what had happened, and some even thought it was a trick by the White Walkers.

"Yes, yes, be careful."

However, the survivors remained on edge, holding their dragon crystal weapons and standing there for a long time, but no sound came from them.

Apart from the crackling sound of the flames burning, the only other sound on the battlefield was the breathing of the people.

"Could it be... that the Night King is already dead?"

However, at that moment, one of the surviving soldiers tentatively asked in a low voice.

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard his words.

Their lips trembled slightly, as if they wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back. Their eyes began to scan their surroundings, their throats bobbing.

"Could it be... true?"

"We've won?"

Everyone was somewhat incredulous.

They couldn't believe what they were hearing, and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Even though all the ghouls had fallen, the battlefield was eerily quiet, with only the howling wind and the sound of burning flames.

The surviving soldiers listened carefully, barely daring to breathe too loudly.

In the command post at the rear, a half-collapsed building, Bessie also remained silent for a long time after hearing the news, but the slight trembling of his fingers betrayed his inner turmoil.

"Your Highness, please have the dragon investigate."

Then, the iron-faced military leader took a deep breath, calmed his emotions slightly, and spoke in a low voice.

"it is good."

Princess Diana, with her silver hair, nodded quickly upon hearing Uncle Bessie's words.

She then made contact with Vaghar through a mental pact, and sent the Red Queen to explore the surrounding area.

However, the results came back quickly: the female red dragon was soaring in the sky, and the dragon's eyesight was so good that it could spot a rabbit high in the air.

She flew around Kohol's perimeter for a whole time, but did not see a single living creature.

All the ghouls lay densely packed on the ground, seemingly already dead; the million-strong ghoul army had been completely annihilated.

Chapter 897 The Way of Balance

We received confirmation from the princess, and at the same time, the darkness in the sky seemed to be rapidly receding, and light was returning to the world.

Upon hearing the series of good news, Bessie felt dizzy standing in front of the map, because as the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, he had been under immense pressure during this period. His Majesty's expectations and the lives of all the soldiers were on his shoulders.

Then Bessie took a deep breath, waved her hand, and signaled her subordinates to spread the news.

However, after the news of the victory spread, there were no cheers outside. Instead, someone burst into tears, and soon everyone was moved to tears.

The sound of crying filled the room, and the two siblings inside were also deeply moved.

This was the most vivid and realistic lesson in education. During this period, they witnessed the cruelty of war and the brutality of the common enemy of mankind.

The turning point of the Second Great War between humans and the White Walkers was the Battle of Nashgard, in which humans sounded the horn of counterattack.

However, the final Battle of Dawn was the decisive battle of Kohol, where hundreds of thousands of human allied troops defended Kohol, the allied headquarters, against millions of zombies attacking from all sides.

They held out for two days at first, but then lost all the city walls and began to retreat towards the weigh station.

Viserys then arrived with five dragons, joining the battle and stabilizing the situation. However, Viserys then pursued the Night King alone, and the two disappeared together.

After he left, the other four dragons he brought with him joined the battle, helping humanity hold out for about two more weeks without the protection of the city walls.

Humanity deployed approximately 150,000 troops in this war. However, Kohor gradually fell. Although the civilians in the city had long been driven away and Kohor was now an empty city, tens of thousands of laborers were still thrown into the battle, and most of them were killed in action.

They survived the darkness and when dawn broke, fewer than 20,000 remained.

Xu Ying, an envoy from the Golden Dynasty, also joined the battle. He fought bravely and took the lead, earning the respect of the allied soldiers.

He was holding a spear that had broken in two, and his whole body was covered in blood, as if someone had smeared it on him.

Xu Ying looked around and saw crying everywhere. Suddenly, she felt a pang of sadness and wanted to cry along with them.

Although he was destined to spend the rest of his life in a foreign land, this was the first time he felt like he belonged among his comrades.

The war is over, and the long night has ended.

This time, the news didn't spread through ravens, but rather through the gradually clearing skies, reaching the entire world.

Apart from the soldiers who survived the battle of Kohor, the whole world was in a state of jubilation.

...

But in the distant land of eternal winter.

A forbidden zone for life.

Viserys witnessed the method used by Azor Ahai, who shattered the black stone with a single sword strike.

However, Viserys used a different approach.

He planted Twilight on the ice altar; the black stone was not completely cleaved, and the hero's red sword did not break like the Lightbringer's sword.

Viserys did not choose the path taken by Azor Ahai, because the facts told him that the path Azor Ahai took was not the right one, but the wrong one.

Otherwise, a new Night King would not have been born again in just a few hundred years after he became a god and left the world.

Ice and fire are the essence of this world. The entire world operates and is maintained by these two forces, just like a complex computer system is ultimately composed of an endless number of 0s and 1s.

Everything in this world is based on the two forces of ice and fire, which wax and wane, resulting in the changing seasons, day and night, calendars, time, and so on.

For example, when the power of ice prevails, winter arrives, while when the power of fire arrives, summer lasts.

The spring and autumn seasons, which lie between the harsh winter and the long summer, are but a fleeting moment compared to the long winter and summer seasons. Spring and autumn are merely products of the smooth transition of the forces of ice and fire.

The power of cold gradually increases, the long summer slowly diminishes, and autumn arrives, followed by the harsh winter. Spring, on the other hand, is the opposite: the power of fire rises, the cold recedes, the harsh winter ends, and spring arrives.
