At this point, the atmosphere in the team became heavier than ever before.
Although the team has lost 80% of its members along the way, and despite everyone's unwavering will and the hopes of the world on their shoulders, despair is inevitable at this moment.
However, just when things were going to get worse, misfortune struck again.
The White Walkers finally sensed the warm blood and life force within these humans in the darkness.
They followed in the footsteps of the heroes, riding on giant ice spiders, and finally found them.
An endless army of the dead surged in from all directions, and the brave human warriors hastily drew their swords to fight back.
They had faced similar crises before, but ultimately escaped safely despite paying a heavy price.
This time, the White Walkers gave them no chance, and the horde of corpses surged in from all directions, surrounding them.
Even though a single warrior of the First Men could kill ten wights, he could not kill a hundred wights, and they were soon overwhelmed.
The Vegetable-Growing Skeleton's Expansion into a Foreign Land
Meanwhile, Viserys and other gods, as well as Azor Ahai, who was destined to save the world, fought desperately here.
The warrior Loyin, wielding the divine sword Lightbringer, struck the ghoul with a single blow, causing its body to spontaneously combust and turn to ashes.
Chapter 1145 Drawing the Sword
Viserys and other fallen gods, along with Azor Ahai, fought fiercely.
Although they possessed extraordinary martial prowess, they seemed somewhat helpless in the face of the surging horde of zombies.
"It's troublesome."
Viserys, wielding a bronze sword forged by the First Men, beheaded a wight that lunged at him.
Although the ghoul's head had been severed, its body continued to convulse and claw wildly, howling incessantly.
Card--
Viserys then stomped on the wight's head, crushing it, and the world fell silent.
There's no way to completely kill them, which is what makes dealing with these monsters so difficult.
The early settlers today have no dragonglass, and mining it on Dragonstone is extremely difficult. Without a map, traversing most of Westeros in the dark is a very risky undertaking.
Viserys had advised Chief Stark to send men to Dragonstone Island, which was rich in dragon crystal deposits.
However, the reality is that we are still in the Bronze Age, and human civilization is underdeveloped. Not to mention that Dragonstone Island may not be called that now, communication technology is also very poor, and most of our ancestors were just stuck in their own land.
They could keep track of news from the surrounding villages and towns, but in the far south, they had only heard of the earliest king, 'Blue Hand' Gars, and the powerful River Bend Kingdom.
But does the Kingdom of the Reach actually exist now? Who is its king? What other kingdoms exist? And where exactly is the 'Dragonstone' that Viserys described?
The early inhabitants of the North were completely clueless about this, since the so-called 'King's Landing' was just a flat plain, and none of the place names matched up, much like explorers discovering a new continent.
Therefore, while sending people to Dragonstone to mine dragonglass and fight the White Walkers might seem simple and straightforward, in reality, it was fraught with difficulties for these ancient people who lived eight thousand years ago, especially under the perilous conditions of the Long Night.
The expedition sent by Caron Stark had been out of contact for over a decade, and their fate was well known.
"Dealing with these corpse servants is useless; we must find the Others who are controlling them."
Viserys had already encountered these White Walkers several times and was quite experienced.
Therefore, even though he was now completely surrounded, he remained calm.
He knew that the effort to kill these wights was endless, and he had to seize the opportunity to deal with the Others who controlled them in order to solve the fundamental problem.
Fortunately, the White Walkers, instead of being cautious and hiding, openly appeared not far away when hunting these humans.
Because, at present, humanity is not capable of posing a significant threat to the invulnerable White Walkers.
Unlike the dragonglass crossbows created by human armies in later times to fight the White Walkers, each one was a deadly scythe that could kill them upon impact.
The White Walkers were forced to hide in the horde of corpses, but even so, once they were found, they were torn to pieces.
However, although the White Walkers lowered their guard and watched from a distance as their wights slaughtered the humans, they still maintained a certain distance.
Because it's quite obvious that these humans are not easy to deal with.
At that moment, Viserys dodged the attacks of several wights and seized the opportunity to leap onto a nearby bluish-gray conifer.
Sword Comes
He ran quickly forward, stepping on the branches and leaves, then leaped into the air and pounced on the White Walkers hiding on the outer edge of the horde of corpses not far away.
The white-haired Otherworlder reacted quickly, wearing ancient bronze armor engraved with ancient runes.
This is somewhat similar to the bronze armor of the Yorn family in the Vale in later generations, and perhaps the 'Bronze Yorn' has some connection with these.
This White Walker was not only wearing bronze armor, but also wielding a longsword of ice.
The White Walker saw a human who had escaped the encirclement by using tree branches as cover and pounced down from above, aiming a sword at his throat, but then dodged it.
The White Walkers move and react very quickly, far exceeding that of normal humans, which is why they can confidently face human warriors.
However, while the White Walkers dodged Viserys' first sword strike, they could not dodge his second. The White Walkers were faster and stronger than ordinary people, while the demigods, having lost their divine power, were even faster than the White Walkers.
clang--
Viserys' bronze sword struck the white-bearded White Walker's neck and instantly broke into three pieces.
Ordinary swords and blades would shatter instantly upon striking a White Walker, but Viserys, accustomed to wielding a divine weapon, was only slightly taken aback.
The White Walker was startled by Viserys's incredibly fast movements, and only realized what was happening when the bronze sword struck his neck and shattered. Had Viserys been wielding a weapon that could have threatened him, he might have been chopped to pieces.
However, this White Walker was also a warrior of the First Men in his previous life. He reacted quickly, and after being startled, he thrust his icy longsword into Viserys' chest.
After Viserys dodged the sword strike, he kicked out with his own foot, which landed right between Viserys' crossed arms.
Peng——
The White Walkers were incredibly powerful, far exceeding that of ordinary humans, and Viserys's body slid backward.
He knelt on one knee, bracing himself with his hands on the snow to steady himself. Behind him, countless ghouls, who had just realized what they had been tormented by, turned around and pounced on him with sharp howls, relieving the pressure on the others.
The 'enraged' Otherworldly, also wielding a longsword of ice, charged forward once more, intent on ending the human's life.
However, at that moment, as Viserys knelt on one knee with his palms braced in the snow, he suddenly felt as if he had touched something icy cold...
"Ok?"
The horde of corpses surged from behind, while the White Walkers charged forward wielding longswords of ice. Despite being surrounded by demons in front and pursuers behind, Viserys remained calm.
After all, he survived the War of the Gods and has experienced all kinds of storms. How could he be exiled by the Old Gods and capsize in such a small ditch?
However, when he suddenly touched the cold object beneath the snow, a strange sense of familiarity arose within him.
Even his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of doubt...
However, the White Walker would not wait for Viserys to continue thinking. His eyes burned with icy blue flames, and he pounced to kill him.
Call ~
But then, unexpectedly, snowflakes began to dance in front of him, blinding him.
Viserys suddenly pulled out what was hidden in the snow and plunged it directly into the White Walker's chest.
Card--
The ear-piercing sound of metal scraping against the ice surface rang out.
A hint of doubt flickered across the White Walker's otherwise indifferent expression before it exploded into shards of ice.
Boom boom boom—
At the same time, several violent explosions suddenly rang out in the forest, and blinding lightning illuminated everything, shattering the ghoul's body.
Chapter 1146 Children of the Forest
Just as the last heroes were in dire straits, the Child of the Forest, whom they had been searching for all along, suddenly appeared.
Viserys killed a White Walker, and a large number of wights under his control instantly collapsed into dust. However, there was more than one White Walker in the siege.
Then the children of the forest used magic to shatter the wights, freeing the gods and First Men from their siege. They used dragon glass and magic to kill the remaining White Walkers who tried to escape, completely annihilating this army of the dead.
After rescuing the humans, the Children of the Forest seemed to have no intention of engaging in conversation.
They did it casually, remaining wary of these humans, and after a few indifferent glances, prepared to leave.
But at that moment, Viserys called out to the group of forest children who had suddenly appeared to help.
Because of his innate spiritual power, Viserys had a photographic memory from a young age, which made him a very quick learner. He was proficient in many languages, including the original language of the Children of the Forest, which he later learned from the Children of the Forest girl, Leaf.
When a human suddenly spoke in their language, the group of 'singers' paused slightly.
Viserys then spoke on behalf of the First Men, explaining his purpose.
Humans wanted to cooperate with the Children of the Forest to resist the invasion of death, and the leader of the Children of the Forest pondered for a moment after hearing Viserys and the others' intentions.
Although it still harbors wariness and hostility towards these humans, after all, the two sides had fought a great war a thousand years ago, they now have to face a common enemy, and in any case, they are on the same side at this moment.
Therefore, the leader of the Children of the Forest finally nodded slightly and agreed to take them to the place where the Children of the Forest lived.
The Children of the Forest do indeed live in the Frostfang Mountains, which the First Men considered the 'Land of the Gods,' but it is a place that is difficult to find.
“If the ‘Singer’ hadn’t brought you here, you would never have found this place.”
The leader of the Children of the Forest was short in stature, with dark chestnut skin and large ears. His golden eyes glanced at the surviving humans behind him, who were looking around anxiously, before turning his gaze to Viserys and speaking in the Primal language.
This is a cave where time seems to stand still, vast and silent, just like the place Viserys once visited, except that there are many more Forest Children watching them from the shadows than in later generations.
Although the Children of the Forest are slowly declining, they have not yet fallen to the point where the survival of their race is in jeopardy.
It seems that the Forest Child, Leaf, was not lying; they have lived here for countless millennia.
This is the last resting place for the children of the forest.
And the leader of the Children of the Forest was right; this place moves with the changes in the earth's veins and has no fixed location.
The Night King sent countless wights to search the mountains and fields, but they couldn't find the cave entrance. They finally found it by relying on that last bit of contact.
Viserys was able to find this place only because of the Green Prophet's invitation and guidance, as well as the power of the Old Gods. Otherwise, if he had relied solely on his own search, he probably would have turned Frostfang upside down and still not found it.
Fortunately, when they were attacked and besieged by the White Walkers, a passing group of Children of the Forest rescued them, which brought the two sides together and facilitated future cooperation.
Viserys, thinking of this, couldn't help but slightly tighten his grip on the ruby-encrusted hand-and-a-half sword at his waist.
