Chapter 882: delay time

The war lasted for more than forty-eight hours.

The human coalition is still stubbornly resisting, but has retreated step by step, abandoning the main city wall and the sub-city wall of Kohor one after another.

Humans have built the entire city into an indestructible iron barrel formation. Every crossing is fortified, trenches are dug and kerosene is poured into it to stop the corpse tide from continuing to attack. It is bound to make the corpse tide pay for every step forward. price.

However, the stubborn resistance of human beings did not defeat their enemies, on the contrary, they were still in retreat.

They gave up most of the roads and shrank all of them into the ancient buildings of the main city, and fought street battles with ghouls with the help of complex terrain.

This is a decisive battle between the main force of the human coalition and the army of the dead, but now it has reached the final juncture, because it can no longer be sustained no matter what.

"Commander-in-Chief."

"Your Majesty, haven't you arrived yet?"

The young general from Winterfell was wearing torn armor and holding a long sword that had been slashed to the edge. He pushed open the door and walked in, speaking urgently.

Robb Stark's words expressed everyone's heart. Everyone misses Viserys so much these days, and there is no moment more urgent than now.

The coalition forces have already paid a lot of losses, and more than half of them have been damaged in just two days. If it was a normal war, the remaining survivors would have already collapsed and surrendered.

However, everyone knew that this war was a life-and-death battle, and that there was no room for surrender, so they were still struggling.

Among them, as the main force of the human coalition, the imperial army first invested the same number of troops as Volantis, and then doubled the number of troops, a total of 60,000 people. The greatest responsibility and the greatest sacrifice.

But now everyone can't hold on anymore, not just the Empire's army, Volantis' tiger robe army, Slave's Bay army, Braavos' army, Third Daughter Kingdom, etc., and whether it is counted in the coalition army among the Dothraki who have followed the action.

In the face of such a fearless and tireless enemy, human beings are mortal creatures after all. Even if they can be repelled in a short time, there is no way to face the enemy's never-ending attack without making mistakes.

Human beings will be tired and tired, and fatigue and burnout will reveal flaws. With more and more flaws, they will eventually collapse completely, and it is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.

"hold on."

However, the commander-in-chief of the coalition with an iron face, the governor of Pantos appointed by the empire, stood in front of the map and faced Robb Stark who broke in. He was silent for a moment, and then said.

"His Majesty returns to King's Landing with more dragons, and the White Walkers may have seized on this to preempt us."

"We must buy more time for His Majesty."

Bessie is also a little helpless now. Facing such a tireless and fearless enemy, he once was tempted to abandon the city and flee, retaining his vitality, but in the end he gave up, and decided to continue to defend and complete the initial and his struggle. The king's goal.

'king'

Years ago, Viserys upgraded his title to the more concise Valyrian Empire from King of the Andals, Roina and First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Guardian of the Realm The first emperor.

However, in Bessie's heart, Viserys is still the 'king' in his heart, not the emperor of the empire who is now aloof.

Bessie is a few years older than Viserys. He passed the selection when he was a teenager and was picked by Red Keep coach William Darry, who recommended him to Viserys as his Kingsguard, and his fate has happened since then. Earth-shaking changes, including that unexpected fire.

Everyone knows that in that fire, Her Royal Highness Daenerys accidentally hatched three dragon eggs, which opened the beginning of the rise of the empire, but no one remembers that he was burned to save people in that fire. He was seriously injured and nearly lost his life, and has since given up holding the sword.

From an hunter-born boy, he eventually became the most powerful frontier official of the Valyrian Empire.

He once had a crush on the beautiful Princess Renice, but in front of Viserys, he was only a shining star covered by the scorching sun. In the end, he carved a seven-pointed star on his forehead, gave up all distractions, and concentrated on protecting himself. oath.

When the empire was first built, a gathering of the poor broke out in King's Landing. These people were the most ardent and loyal believers of the Seven Gods. They called themselves "sparrows", and they shook the foundation of the empire, and even attacked the Red Fort and disturbed the harem.

Viserys ordered the slaughter of sparrows. The steps of the Red Fort were stained with blood overnight. One by one corpses were placed on carts, and carts by carts were thrown into Blackwater Bay. Now the people of King's Landing I still remember that day when the sea water near the port of Heishuiwan was no longer a deep color, it was a little reddish, and the stench in the air of King's Landing was covered by the smell of blood.

Everyone knew that Bessie was a loyal believer of the Seven Gods. When this incident broke out, many people thought that Bessie would rebel or have other reactions.

Even Tyrion Lannister, who was Viserys' personal adviser, suggested that Viserys dispatch the Dragonstone fleet to prepare for battle, and dispatch the famous Prince Oberyn's Second Army to gather from the direction of the Royal Forest to prepare for battle across the sea.

However, the little devil's suggestion was refuted by Viserys at the Royal Council, and he had great confidence in his captain of the Kingsguard.

In fact, Bessie was only silent for a while after hearing about this, without saying a word, and then went to the chapel in her governor's mansion to pray for three days and three nights.

Afterwards, he also killed his uncle who chased into the church, clamoring for an uprising of an armed sect called "Holy War".

The trust and tacit understanding between Viserys and Bessie was enviable, a relationship that even Oberyn could not have dreamed of.

So today, Bessie still chooses to believe when Viserys can't be reached through black fog and glass candles.

"No matter how long this battle is fought, no matter what kind of sacrifices are made~www.NovelMTL.com~ or even the entire army is wiped out, there is one goal that must not be shaken."

"That's killing the Night King."

"If you can't kill the Night King, it's futile to kill all the Legion of the Dead and the White Walkers."

"They will come back sooner or later."

A long time ago, in Pentos, Viserys and Bessie confided.

"Robb, wait a minute."

"I believe that when His Majesty arrives, this war will be won."

Bessie was silent for a moment, then spoke up.

And the young northern general was slightly startled when he heard his words. He looked at the eyes of the other party under the metal mask, and finally did not know why he chose to believe.

"Five or six hours at most, my lord."
