Before anyone in the group could react or even shout, the young man was grabbed by the throat and dragged with incredible force into the depths of the snow-covered forest.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"She...she's a human child?"
A pale, cold-faced little girl grabbed an adult man from behind and choked him with her bare hands, leaving him no chance to fight back, before dragging him away and disappearing quickly into the dense forest.
This scene was witnessed by everyone, and it immediately caused an uproar because it violated their common sense.
"Whatever he is!"
"Chase!"
The captain of the Stark tribe's hunting team did not hesitate and immediately ordered his men to give chase upon seeing the scene.
After all, the other party had taken away several of his clansmen. If he let them get away like this, he wouldn't be able to explain it to their families when he returned.
Moreover, if they can catch up with the enemy, they might be able to rescue the clansmen who went missing earlier.
However, it was this pursuit that led to trouble.
Diana and Holos were also in the group. After they discovered that these were White Walkers, they tried to stop the Stark tribe from pursuing them, but were refused.
Therefore, they could only follow these people and continue the chase, while also investigating why the White Walkers had appeared there and gathering some information.
After all, they had been in this time and space for more than a month, but had gained very little and had only been wasting their time. They had to find their way back as soon as possible and stop the Old Gods from destroying the world.
The appearance of the White Walkers has disrupted the long-standing peace and may become the 'breakthrough point' in the current predicament.
The Stark tribe then pursued the White Walkers, eventually encountering an ambush and suffering heavy losses.
Fortunately, Diana and Heros were also in the group, and with the help of the two 'demigods', they fought their way out and escaped.
Otherwise, the entire army would be wiped out, and the Stark tribe would suffer heavy losses.
"White Walkers?"
After listening to Diana and Heros's account, Viseris immediately fell into deep thought.
"Could this era be... the first time in recorded history that a long night has fallen?"
The gods fell silent upon hearing Viserys's words.
The Dawn Era followed the Heroic Era, spanning a thousand years, yet they unexpectedly encountered the arrival of the first Long Night.
Was this intentionally done by the 'corrupted' Old Gods?
no doubt.
This is because it was the period of the most drastic decline in human population in history, with almost one in ten, or even one in a hundred, surviving.
Humanity and all living things teetered on the brink of extinction, and the gods, having lost their divine power, might also be in danger during this period if they were not careful.
“But you’re right, Heros.”
"This is both a danger and an opportunity."
After a long silence, Viserys broke the silence among the gods, including 'Calamity' Kramdy, in the room.
"If there is a long night in this spacetime, then there should also be an 'Old God'."
"Perhaps we can find our way home in this crisis..."
"Defeat the Old Gods and save the world."
Chapter 1140 Clash of Clans
The arrival of the long night was both a danger and an opportunity for the gods.
Finding the ancient gods of this world is the only way out of their current predicament.
Meanwhile, as the gods were discussing their impending farewell to Chief Karon Stark and their journey to the Land of Eternal Winter to search for the ancient gods of this time and space.
Warning horns immediately rang out from the walls of the Stark tribe's stronghold.
woo-
Bugles sounded from the outside world, and the rumbling of war drums could also be heard from afar.
"Enemy attack!"
"quick!"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone in the Stark tribe reacted quickly and sprang into action. The men grabbed their shields and weapons, while the women pulled their children into the pre-dug cellars.
"what happened?"
The gods were also alarmed by this sudden incident, but soon learned that it was an attack by other tribes.
In the early days of the Age of Heroes, the First Men had already established themselves on the continent of Westeros. In the Reach, a land with a warm and pleasant climate suitable for human habitation and cultivation, civilization had rapidly developed into a unified feudal society.
Garth the Bluehand, the High King of the First Men and ancestor of many ancient houses of Westeros, led the First Men through the Arm of Dorne to Westeros.
Moreover, legend has it that Garth was the first person to teach people farming. He gave them seeds and taught them how to sow, how to cultivate the land, how to care for the grain, and how to harvest.
After the disappearance of 'Blue Hand' Gars, his eldest son Gars the Gardener founded House Gardener and became the first King of the Reach. In other parts of the south, the First Men established hundreds of kingdoms of varying sizes.
But in the northern borderlands and beyond, this is truly a land of barbarians. In this era, there is no unified feudal state, no monarch or nobles. There are only large and small tribes bound by blood and surnames, which can be understood as southern states, and also the prototype of families.
The Stark tribe was large and populous, one of the largest tribes in the area, and their only enemy was the Bolton tribe, which lived not far away.
It is clear that the Stark tribe has been attacked by the White Walkers and suffered heavy losses. Now is the perfect time for the Bolton tribe to attack.
"A weak prey will attract the covetous eyes of a hungry wolf."
Horns blared outside the Stark tribe, and warriors from the Bolton tribe, under the command of their chieftain, charged in from all directions.
On the wooden walls of the Stark tribe's fortress, warriors, wielding wooden bows, fired arrows downwards in an attempt to prevent the enemy from breaching the city.
However, although many Bolton warriors fell in the rain of arrows, this could not stop the Stark tribe's wooden walls from being toppled and breached.
"Could you friends please help us?"
Seeing that the Stark tribe was about to fall, the Stark tribe chief, Karon Stark, hurriedly came to the door, asking the 'demigods' who were visiting to help them.
Although he was the one who saved these people, and these ancestors from eight thousand years ago were simple and honest, they also noticed the unusual nature of these people during the month or so that he stayed in the tribe.
They displayed astonishing strength and speed, perhaps even surpassing the terrifying power of the giants living on the Frost Fangs, and they were also more agile than the giants themselves.
Therefore, when the Bolton tribe took advantage of his vulnerability and the tribe was on the verge of being breached and captured, Caron Stark thought of asking these guests for help. After all, everyone knew the Bolton family's preferences, and no one wanted to be skinned alive.
Faced with Charon Stark's request, the gods, who had been guests there for so long, exchanged glances. Although they didn't want to get involved in the war between mortals, they couldn't very well refuse, so they could only nod in agreement.
"Chief Karon, just give us a few handy weapons."
In this era, our ancestors still used bronze weapons. When a few 'demigods' joined the war, the tide of battle was instantly turned.
Each of them was capable of taking on ten or even a hundred men. After becoming familiar with their bodies without divine power, dealing with these mortals was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
The chieftain of the Boton tribe thought he had seized the moment when his mortal enemy was at his weakest, and then took the opportunity to kill him with a single blow.
Tonight, he might be able to personally rip Caron Stark's skin off, and he's long coveted Caron's daughter, Elsa Stark.
But the chieftain of the Bolton tribe never expected that several ruthless individuals would suddenly appear in the Stark tribe. They were extremely fast and strong, able to send a strong Bolton warrior flying with a single punch, and wielding bronze swords, they slit the throats of several people in the blink of an eye.
The warriors of the Bolton tribe had never seen gods who had lost their divine power and fallen to earth; they were all stunned by the scene before them that resembled that of a superhuman.
The tribal warriors of eight thousand years ago had no discipline whatsoever. They all abandoned Chief Bolton's orders and fled in disarray, and the sudden war vanished just like that.
war.
Who could have imagined that the Stark and Bolton families, who would one day dominate the North and be known as the 'Kings of Winter' and the 'Red Kings' respectively, would now fight like a brawl between two villages, with no more than a few hundred people gathered at most?
No wonder the hunting party was attacked by the White Walkers, losing more than a dozen Stark tribe warriors, which was a 'heavy blow' to the entire tribe.
Especially the captain of the hunting team, an old man with gray hair carrying a bow and arrows. It is said that his archery skills are extremely accurate. He can find an opportunity to kill seven or eight people in a 'war'. He has even killed two chieftains of the Bolton tribe. He has a blood feud with the current chieftain of the Bolton tribe.
Unfortunately, the white-bearded old man of the hunting party did not heed Diana's advice when attacked by the White Walkers. He went his own way and was eventually killed by the White Walkers, his body torn to pieces.
The war was over, and although the Bolton tribe had retreated, having won a victory under the leadership of several demigods, a somber atmosphere still permeated the Stark tribe, with the wails of wounded warriors lying on the ground and the cries of those who had lost loved ones.
Because regardless of victory or defeat, people will die. This may seem small in the context of the entire tribe, but it is an unbearable burden for each individual family.
However, while the Stark tribe was taking stock of the wounded and dead, an unexpected situation occurred.
"Little Elsa has gone missing!"
Chapter 1141 The Long Night Descends
Elsa Stark, also known as Elsa Stark, is the daughter of Chief Charon.
However, in the chaos of the Bolton tribe's attack, no one noticed where a girl had gone.
"Could it be that Elsa has been kidnapped by the Bolton tribe?"
Chief Kalon only had this one beloved daughter, whom he cherished dearly. He was extremely anxious when he heard that his daughter was missing.
He desperately wanted to lead his men to the Bolton tribe to rescue his daughter, because he knew very well what would happen if his daughter fell into the hands of those beasts in the Bolton tribe.
"It shouldn't be, Chief Karon."
But at that moment, a member of the tribe who had actually witnessed Elsa Stark, Charon's daughter, spoke up.
He was a member of a Stark tribe hunting party, a young and valiant warrior.
He had fought alongside Diana and Holos, and had just been in the war himself, his body still covered in blood.
"Ok?"
"You saw her?"
His words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and Chief Kalon quickly asked a question.
"Ah."
The Stark nodded and spoke.
"I think I just saw Elsa carrying a pack and sneaking out of the tribe."
Why did she run away by herself?
Chief Kalon, puzzled, asked.
"Everyone knows the reason."
