Chapter 128 Battle of Castle Black

When Hother Umber arrived, the scene was full of broken limbs and burnt bones.

"Damn it, send a message to the flayed men in Winterfell immediately, saying that the dragon of the Targaryen family appeared in Hearth City, and then ask it to send people to help us harvest wheat, otherwise Hearth City will reconsider its loyalty to him."

Hother looked grim, and the Great Jon was imprisoned in the Twins, and he and Mors Umber became acting lords.

But Hother preferred to form an alliance with Roose Bolton. In his view, the Stark family had become a thing of the past, and the Bolton family would become the new guardian family of the North.

But another acting lord, Mors Umber, has been very close to Stannis recently.

Mors Umber is an old man, his two sons died in the War of the Usurper, and his daughter was abducted by the wildlings.

So Stannis promised to cut off Mance Rayder's head for him in exchange for his loyalty.

Stannis still holds the title of king. Although he suffered a disastrous defeat at the Blackwater, he regained his confidence under the encouragement of Melisandre.

So he turned to the North. He believed that the families in the North were full of hatred for the Iron Throne, so he sent letters to every lord in the North, asking them to be loyal to him.

Among them, Morse Umber was one of the few who responded. Now the Umber family can still raise an army of about a thousand people.

Morse is old and has high prestige, so he has the loyalty of 70% of the knights.

And Hother Umber chose to surrender to Roose Bolton. As a condition, the Bolton family needs to provide them with enough farmers to harvest wheat.

If it drags on, a large amount of wheat will rot in the fields, but Roose Bolton, who promised to help, has not made any move.

This made Hother's reputation shaky, and Roose Bolton had no choice. Because he followed Robb to fight, the wheat in his territory had not been harvested yet.

At this time, the Black Castle on the other side was on fire, and there were roars and screams everywhere.

This was the seventh time that the wildlings attacked the Great Wall in thousands of years, and it was also the largest and most united one, because if they failed this time, everyone would become servants of the devil.

Just ten minutes ago, a wildling army of about a hundred people attacked the Black Castle.

In order to avoid the White Walkers, Mance Rayder had to lead 100,000 wildlings south.

After the Night's Watch was defeated by the White Walkers at the Fist of the First Men, he saw the opportunity and led the large army to move south quickly.

After arriving at the Haunted Forest, they stationed in the White Tree Village, and then sent the vanguard troops to constantly harass the Shadow Tower in the west and Eastwatch in the east.

This made it impossible for the Night's Watch, which had just over a hundred people, to take care of the first place, and then they had no choice but to shrink the defense line and prepare to gather all at the Black Castle.

Because if the large wildling army wanted to cross the Great Wall, they could only rely on the tunnel guarded by the Black Castle.

It was for this reason that Mance Rayder sent two hundred elite troops to cross the Great Wall and attack Castle Black by various means.

As a result, half of the people were lost when crossing the Great Wall, and only a hundred people arrived at Castle Black.

At this time, the Night's Watch was defeated at the Fist of the First Men, and the previous division strategy resulted in only forty defenders in Castle Black.

"Quick, go to the King's Tower, Coach Alliser has brought people to support, we only need to defend the King's Tower for half a night."

Donald shouted loudly, trying to close the Night's Watch's defense line, but there were only 20 people left in the Night's Watch at this time, but it was still possible to defend it with the King's Tower.

The King's Tower is where the Night's Watch entertains the king. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the king has not been to Castle Black for a long time.

The 13 people led by Jon on the top of the Great Wall were also unable to spare their hands at this time. A large number of wildlings tried to climb the Great Wall, and there were giants and mammoths below the Great Wall trying to pull out the iron door of the tunnel.

At this time, the south wall of the Black Castle had been breached by the wildlings, and the only 20 archers were all killed by the Fire-Kissed Ygritte.

Tormund and Ygritte split up into two groups.

Tormund led 80 people to surround the remaining Night's Watch, while Ygritte led people to clean up various places in the castle.

Suddenly, the cry of a baby fell into Ygritte's ears. Although the sound was very weak, she was still captured by her keen senses.

Ygritte frowned, took out the dagger from her waist and slowly walked in the direction of the sound.

It was a small concave layer, and the cry came from inside.

Ygritte did not relax her vigilance because of the baby's cry, but suddenly pulled open the curtain.

Gilly held her son with a panicked face and could only stare at Ygritte blankly.

It can only be said that Gilly was too lucky to meet Ygritte, a rare, kind and love-believing wildling.

"Hush~!" Ygritte made a gesture to silence and then closed the curtain.

Seeing that the Night's Watch led by Donald was about to give up, Coach Alliser arrived with the Night's Watch brothers in time, and the two sides were in chaos for a while.

Donald on the King's Tower roared to boost morale and led the remaining people to fight again.

"Coach Alliser is here, kill this barbarian!" Donald was very surprised by Alliser's support.

Although Alliser didn't get along with Jon Snow, and was sarcastic and had no sense of humor, he was a qualified Night's Watch.

After receiving Donald's letter, he returned with his men to support Castle Black overnight.

But Alliser and his party were exhausted after traveling overnight, and Ygritte also met with Tormund with the wildling archers.

Therefore, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the wildlings.

Tormund was called "Giant Killer" and "Thunder Fist", so he must be very capable.

In the chaos, Ser Alliser was hit on the chest by an axe from Tormund, but he blocked the axe blade with his long sword, but he was still blown away and fell from a height of several meters.

Chubby Sam was unable to participate in the battle. Seeing that the Night's Watch was gradually losing the upper hand, he could only take the elevator to the Great Wall to find Jon for support.

Sam trembled to the top of the Great Wall and told Jon that Castle Black was about to be lost.

Jon immediately handed over the command to Eddie, and he took a few people to support.

Because once Castle Black was lost, there was no point for them to stay here.

Jon, who came down from the elevator, looked at the fierce fighting below, drew his Valyrian steel sword: "Long Claw", and then rushed into the battlefield first.

Sam also secretly released Jon's direwolf "Ghost" around the battlefield.

With the addition of Ghost, the situation began to slowly reverse. Ghost was now close to adulthood, as big as a small horse.

The direwolf is one of the native species of Westeros. It is huge in size and can tear a person apart like a hound tearing a mouse apart.
