Chapter 676 The Night King Awakens
The Fist Peak of the Ancestors.
Towering peaks stand majestically, with bare rocky summits exposed.
Starting from halfway up the mountain, all the snow up to a foot deep fell down, covering a large area of land at the foot of the mountain.
A sudden avalanche blocked the fastest route from the Fist of the Ancients to the Ghost Forest.
Who did it?
An avalanche started.
…
At this time, Hard Village.
It is the only outlet to the sea outside the Great Wall and the closest gathering place for free people to the city.
Towering cliffs block the icy sea breeze, and the beach is large and flat enough to accommodate even the largest ships.
Hundreds of thousands of savages gathered here to cut down trees and build temporary shelters.
"This is our home base."
Baron had a stinky face and led people around the gathering place.
"A minimum of 300,000 people are guaranteed. What will you eat?"
Rhaegar looked everywhere, seeing free people wrapped in thick animal skins.
Bonfires were burning, and a lot of firewood was consumed.
However, it not only brought heat, but the smoke also drove away wild beasts outside the gathering place.
Balon glanced at him and said arrogantly: "Free people value freedom. They rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea."
The implication is that you eat what you catch.
"You are back, King Balon."
Suddenly, a tall man with tattoos on his face opened his mouth and stared at this side with a bared teeth smile.
The man's upper body was bare, his teeth were like two rows of spikes, and his eyes revealed a terrifying ferocity.
Rega frowned slightly, smelling an unusual smell.
"Hey, you also caught a bunch of crows?"
The sharp-toothed man's eyes lit up, he picked up the ax and came over.
The look in his eyes was as if he was going to eat Rega and the others alive.
"Senri, get out of here!"
Balon blocked the opponent's way and threatened with a fierce look on his face: "They are my prey. When they are hungry, they will look for shit to eat."
The sharp-toothed man's face darkened, and because of his reputation as the King Beyond the Wall, he raised his hands and retreated slowly.
Before leaving, he glared at Rega and the others with dark eyes.
Rhaegar covered his nose, the smell was so overwhelming that he didn't want to breathe.
"This is the leader of the Thenns, a guy with a very strong taste."
Balon patted Rhaegar's back casually and leaned close to his ear: "Be careful, those canine teeth can even chew human bones."
"What do you think of a dragon's bite?"
Rhaegar turned his head and stared, raising his hand to push away the big hand on his shoulder.
Scare him?
A group of uncivilized savages, a little too young.
Baron's expression changed slightly, and he took back his right hand angrily.
"Take me to the leaders of all the free folk tribes, and you all must follow me."
Rhaegar became cold and strode towards the center of the camp.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of dull footsteps came, and several tall figures that blocked the sun came running.
The giant Nunu was peeling off the skin of a reindeer with his hands, grinning: "You are indeed here."
Throwing out the half-skinned reindeer, he hugged Rhaegar and the accompanying Rob.
"No, no, control yourself, brother."
Rob quickly stopped him, turning his head to avoid the big blood-stained hand.
Rhaegar took a closer look and saw a group of giants of different ages gathered together, which was a beautiful sight in a gathering place of free people.
With the help of giants, it is much easier to raise an army of free folk.
Giants have a high status, and their strength wins the trust of free people.
Save a lot of talk and trouble.
Thinking like this, Rhaegar glanced back.
A group of Thenns gathered outside the giant camp, with colorful faces painted on their faces, and they peeked maliciously.
"Huh, frog in the well."
Rhaegar shook his head and laughed.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month later.
The Great Wall of Despair, looking out to the East Sea.
The green seahorse banner of House Velaryon rose on the Wall, and the Night's Watch legion joined the sailors in silver-gray armor.
"Hiss!"
A huge dragon as scarlet as blood hovered in the sky, roaring restlessly.
"Melias still hates winter."
Corliss stood on the observation deck and looked at the dragon flying up and down.
This has been going on for weeks.
Rhaenys put on black and red soft armor and exhaled: "Melias is in a restless mood. He even eats less goats recently."
Among the many dragons in the family, there are all kinds of temperaments.
Melias is special. He is obviously the fastest dragon, but he is usually the laziest.
Regardless of the average age of a dragon, it is already a seventy-year-old dragon.
He should have a lot of experience and experience, just like a cunning old fritter.
But after getting close to the Great Wall, there was no rest for a day.
"Dragons are ferocious and we cannot control them 100%."
Corliss put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "Look on the bright side, at least the king's dragon can fly over the Great Wall."
"Don't try to persuade me. I'm not as anxious as some people."
Rhaenys smiled and shook her head, feeling at peace in her heart.
With her husband and son by her side, she has nothing more to ask for in her life.
"That……"
Just as Corliss was about to speak, there was a strange movement outside the Great Wall.
Rumble——
The dull footsteps were dense, like an earthquake approaching the Great Wall from the ghost forest.
Woo——
The night watchman's horn sounded, and three trumpets sounded to represent the savage attack on the city.
"Be careful, I'll ride a dragon to conquer the formation."
Rhaenys broke free from the embrace and hurriedly walked to the winch ladder.
Corliss looked solemn, resting his hands on the railing, overlooking the savage army below.
It’s endless as far as the eye can see, and it’s so dark that it’s impossible to count them.
"At least more than 100,000."
Corliss clenched his hands and the words came out of his throat little by little.
The number of people exceeds 10,000, and they can no longer be seen on the battlefield.
If there are more than 100,000 people, it will be a long dark cloud covering the earth.
"Hiss-"
Suddenly, the dragon's roar, as loud as thunder, shook the sky and spread across the sea area for dozens of miles.
The next second.
A huge dragon as black as carbon rushed out of the thick clouds. Its broad dragon wings were like a curtain hanging from the sky, covering the entire battlefield and the inside and outside of the Great Wall.
The two-hundred-meter-tall terrifying beast is big enough to crush any powerful enemy.
A pair of pale green vertical pupils as big as copper bells, like the ghostly fire of purgatory, shine into the depths of everyone's soul.
Corliss's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing stopped.
This size has exceeded that of Vhagar, the largest dragon in the past, and even larger than the dead Black Death - Balerion.
Even in the last few years of the black death's death, his body shape was inferior to that of the black evil god in front of him.
"Land down, glutton."
Rhaegar sat firmly on the dragon's back and caught a glimpse of Melias flying towards the Night Watch Castle.
Looks like Aunt Rhaenys is here too.
"Hiss-"
The glutton's green eyes were faint, and it swept across the hundreds of thousands of free people below like a threat, and its wings flapped across the Great Wall.
Boom——
The huge hind feet stepped on the snow pit, sending up a hot wave of ash-smelling air.
"Rega, it's you who's back."
Rhaenys just ran to Melias and turned around to ask in surprise.
"It's me, aunt."
Rega pursed his lips and smiled, and joked: "We also brought some big guys who can be regarded as well-trained."
Gently patting the jet-black scales, the glutton shook his body and bowed his head obediently.
Rhaegar slid down the smooth scales and landed with a thud on his feet.
Rhaenys hurried over and said in surprise: "You convinced all the wildlings outside the wall?"
"Pretty much, and there are some die-hards."
Rhaegar opened his arms and hugged his aunt after a long absence.
For example, the Thenn people who are not taboos can be burned clean by one gulp of dragon flame.
There are only a very small number of scattered savages left who are unwilling to migrate or hide everywhere.
"Great, with the help of the free folk, the White Walkers will never break the Wall."
Rhaenys smiled and hugged her nephew warmly.
Even the name he used to call him changed from savages to free people.
"Where's Brother Lanino?"
Rhaegar let go of his hand and looked for traces of Haiyan.
Ever since he saw the true face of the White Walkers, he gradually developed an inexplicable sense of vigilance.
The dragon cannot go out alone.
I don’t know the specific reason, but I am very repulsive.
Rhaenys was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Lanninor is going to Castle Black. He will check the Night Watch fortresses along the Great Wall along the way."
There are a total of eighteen Night Watch fortresses, which are the pillars of the Great Wall.
"Tell him to quickly station himself at Castle Black and stop riding a dragon around."
Rhaegar gave serious instructions and made arrangements in an orderly manner: "The freedmen will enter the Great Wall in batches and gradually move to Castle Black. We will escort them all the way."
Rhaenys did not hesitate and affirmed: "Okay, I will send a message to the Raven of Lannino right now."
The nephew traveled to the Great Wall for a month and was able to recruit hundreds of thousands of free people.
During this period, you must have gone through difficulties and encountered dangers unknown to others.
…
The land of eternal winter.
The snow howls and the ice covers thousands of miles.
This place is located in the far north of Westeros.
Crossing the Fist of the First Men and continuing northward, passing through the blizzard-torn Far North Glacier, you can get a glimpse of the real winter.
The severe cold persists all year round and there is no life left at all.
Salsasa...
The snow left footprints one after another, and the pale figure moved forward against the wind and snow.
Soon, we entered a valley with raised ice crystals.
The pale figure opened a pair of ice-blue eyes, staring straight at an ice altar in the center of the valley.
"Wow~~"
A childish voice hummed, and a pair of baby-jointed arms poked out of his arms.
The pale figure lowered his head slightly and met his pure and flawless eyes.
The little baby's face was red, and he couldn't help twisting in the swaddling clothes, and he made clear grunts from time to time.
The pale figure twitched the corner of his mouth and slowly placed the swaddling clothes on the flat altar.
The little baby didn't resist and stared at the sky.
Buzz——
Suddenly, an inexplicable aura quickly lowered the temperature of the valley.
The ice altar trembled slightly, and something evil seemed to be hidden underneath.
A faint light flashed suddenly, and a human figure appeared in the altar under the baby.
The same pale skin is covered with a layer of armor.
The head has horns and is hairless.
The humanoid figure remained motionless as if sleeping, but at this moment it opened its indifferent ice blue eyes.
"Wow~~"
The little baby didn't know there was someone underneath him, so he fluttered and wanted to turn over.
After closing his eyes for a moment, a shadow enveloped the top of his head.
The humanoid figure appeared on the edge of the altar as if it were moving in space. It straightened its waist and leaned forward slightly, stretching out a pale finger with sharp nails like a beast.
clatter!
He put his finger on the little baby's forehead to make the little guy stop moving.
The humanoid figure is as gentle as a father, with a curve at the corner of his mouth.
Gradually, the baby's brown eyes became dull and covered with a layer of frost-like blue.
The humanoid figure tilted his head and stared, then straightened his back with his hands closed.
Looking around the altar, four white ghosts knelt on one knee to greet the king who had emerged from the cold winter.
The human figure glanced at it, then turned his head and looked back.
"Huh~~"
Three aliens rode rotten war horses, standing on the tall ice crystals, holding ice crystal spears like guards.
The human figure nodded slightly and walked towards the exit of the valley.
One step, two steps...
The footsteps stopped and stood straight at the entrance of the valley.
The human figure said nothing, looking into the distance with his ice-blue eyes.
The eyes were empty in an instant, as if reflecting the outside scene across thousands of miles.
A towering giant peak, with continuous snow after an avalanche at the foot of the mountain.
The fist peak of the first people.
The eyes flashed, and the picture shifted.
A huge bay covered with ice and snow, countless free people carried their belongings and migrated to the south.
Another turn, the Great Wall appeared.
"Hiss!"
A light silver dragon slowly soared, flew over the Great Wall, and its figure merged with the sky and the earth.
"Haiyan, we have to hurry to the Black Castle."
The human voice shouted, but it could not be heard through the vision.
"Hiss!"
Haiyan was startled, feeling some kind of evil gaze, and roared anxiously.
The scene ended here.
The human figure had no expression on his face, broke off an ice cone from the ice wall, and slowly walked out of the frozen valley.
