Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 322

It is bitterly cold outside the Great Wall, the temperature is low, and the days are short. It sounds like the Arctic Circle, a barren land of ice and snow.

In fact, this is not the case. Beyond the Great Wall is almost equivalent to Canada in the world of ice and fire. It is about the same area as Canada, and the landform environment is similar.

North of the Great Wall, it is similar to the Canadian Forest in the northern section of the Rocky Mountains.

Well, people in this world call it the "Ghost Forest", which starts 800 meters north of the Great Wall and spreads northward for more than a thousand kilometers.Of course, due to the short sunshine, the forest becomes thinner as you go north, and it is far less dense than the trees near the Great Wall.

too dense.

Under the full moon, the outside of the Great Wall seems to be covered with a layer of silver-gray tulle, and people and things around can be seen clearly without holding a torch.But as soon as he stepped into the woods, endless and deep darkness struck.

Then, there was a gust of cold air mixed with the smell of damp fallen leaves|rotting|rotten leaves, like sea waves drowning people, looking down, there were few spots of moonlight on the ground.

There are mostly evergreen trees in the forest, the tall and straight soldier pine, the straight and towering sentinel tree, the iron tree with dark green leaves that are almost black, and the branches are densely connected.

Not to mention that the moonlight couldn't penetrate, the daredevils walking in it even felt that the air was frozen, heavy and stuffy.

"Hey, I found another giant corpse." Like a dexterous little monkey, Yegritte climbed over the slippery rocks, over a dark tree trunk fallen in the gurgling stream, and came to the side of a long-haired giant. .

"A giantess, Soso, I know her," Ygritte called with a grand nasal voice, almost crying with grief, "Two years ago my horse slipped and fell in the canyon, and I broke my leg, yes Soso carried me back."

Dani "floats" to the red-haired girl like a ghost, carefully observes the gray-haired giant's wound, and said, "I was hit by a sword in the left waist. The wound is not fatal, but the bleeding was not stopped in time, and he bled too much to die."

Jon led the horse across the creek, and persuaded in a low voice: "Ygritte, don't be so reckless, if it has turned into a ghoul, it would be too wronged if it ran over rashly and was slapped to death by it." .”

"I don't have a dragon, but I can't lose to her in terms of courage." The red-haired girl pointed at Dani.

The corner of Barristan's mouth twitched, you have found the wrong comparison partner, Her Majesty the Queen never came.

Well, Dany is patrolling the sky on a dragon, and the queen who "takes the lead and strives for the first" on the ground is a shadow, a spiritual projection.

"This should be the last giant corpse, and it's the smallest, so it can be used as bait," Dany said.

They had gone ten kilometers deep into the forest, and on the way they found seven giant corpses.Most of them lost too much blood, and they didn't have time to treat them, so they died a little unjustly.

Dahei's soul wounds were healed, and he and Xiaobai followed the Death Squad, wandering 300 meters above the forest.Whenever a giant's corpse was found, or Dany called, or other team members rang the gong, the big black fell down to catch it and fly away.

In addition to the giants, they did come across quite a few wildling camps.A very small camp, only one tribe, dozens, hundreds of people.

A war broke out in the morning, Mance was captured, and the more than [-] savages united became a mess again.

When encountering such a camp, the Death Squad sent members of the Wildlings to communicate, and told the Wildlings about the Death Squad's plan to capture the White Walkers, so that they would understand that the Night Watchmen were not here to hunt down the Wildlings, nor would they harass their small camp.

In most cases there is no conflict, because the two dragons will fly over the camp first, roaring and roaring.

Well, 20 death squads formed a diamond-shaped formation to sneak in the forest, covering an area of ​​less than two square kilometers, and two dragons patrolled two square kilometers. It was too easy.

Also because there is a dragon passing overhead almost every 3 minutes, the death squad maintains a high morale in such a dark and dangerous deep forest.

"Squeak————" When Dani decided to place the bait, Dahei immediately let out two rapid dragon roars.

"Twice, it means that the arrow team has stopped, and it's time for us to find a place to set up traps."

The team who heard the cry stopped immediately and began to lay traps.

In fact, they encountered many savage corpses along the way, most of them were concentrated within five kilometers from the edge of the forest. Only the death squad encountered nearly a thousand people.

It can be guessed that there are more corpses in the woods that have not been found.

However, the iron chains carried by the death squads are limited, and it is impossible to tie up every corpse. They can only try their best to move forward and keep the White Walkers five kilometers away from the edge.

Well, the reason Dany was ten kilometers deep in the Ghost Forest was that she had the idea of ​​keeping the White Walkers eight to ten kilometers away from the edge of the forest.

To put it simply, if Dany meets the White Walker ten kilometers away, kills, captures, or drives him away, then the corpses in the forest behind her will be safe.

The diamond-shaped array of death squads is like a shield, "protecting" thousands of wildling corpses behind until dawn.

Of course, this is the perfect ending, and the story does not necessarily follow Dani's script.

"Cut off its hands and its left foot," Dany said to Barristan.

"Why? It's pitiful enough to use Soso as bait when she's dead, but you still want to insult her corpse." Ygritte shouted from the tree.

Dany looked up, the branches blocked Ygritte's thin figure, and she was easily overlooked.

But the White Walkers don't rely on their eyes to find their prey at all, they can sense the breath of the living.

She sneered: "If it comes back to life, with all beard and tail, and with the strength of a giant, the poor man will be you."

"Uh" startled, the red-haired girl said: "The branches block my view, so I can't see the strange ghosts below. Anyway, I can't hide my figure, so why not cut off the nearby branches and let the moonlight fall."

Ten meters away, Jon, who was squatting on the side of a tree stump and tied a rope, turned his head and persuaded: "Maybe you climbed high enough, and the ghosts can't smell the living breath on you, and the branches will always make you safer. And some The bell will remind you of the arrival of the White Walkers."

Well, Jon pulled a loop of rope nearby, with a small bell hanging on it. No matter how awesome the White Walker is, they can't fly, right?

To go over and resurrect the corpse, you have to bring the bell.

But no one knows the distance of the other ghosts' spells. If the corpse can be resurrected hundreds of meters away, then their work will probably be wasted tonight.

In order to prevent this from happening, Dani arranged three "corpse keepers" in each team.

This is what Ygritte and Sir Alliser were doing at this time. Find a straight and tall sentinel tree, climb up to the top of the tree, and first wrap the oil-soaked cloth around the top trunk. If the situation is critical, immediately ignite it—— Because the White Walkers are terrified of fire.

Under normal circumstances, the canopy cannot be ignited, so as not to scare them away. After all, the purpose of this operation is to capture the White Walkers.

Then, they would find a stable tree branch under the oilcloth, and tie their belts with hemp rope to stabilize their bodies so that they would not fall off when they dozed off.

Well, I have to prepare a fur coat to keep out the cold, and a pot of strong wine to warm up.

The corpse guards will keep watching the nearby plants and trees. If they find a different ghost, they will immediately ring the gong to summon the dragon and the hunting team.

The three corpse guards are 30-50 meters apart, forming a triangle to surround the pile of corpses tied around the ankles.

As for whether the gong will scare the White Walkers away?

Do humans still need to be afraid of the aliens who can be scared away by the sound of gongs?

Of course, if the aliens are smart enough to judge the enemy's ambush by the sound of the gong, it is really possible to retreat.

But Dany and the others knew nothing about the ghosts. Even if the gong scared the ghosts away, they could at least speculate on the wisdom of the ghosts.

Besides the three morticians, there's also one, uh, what Dany calls "the dead man."

It is impossible to judge the wisdom of the other ghosts, and it is impossible to determine whether the other ghosts will be startled away by the sound of the gong. Dany also has arrangements for this.

If the White Walker's intelligence level is not high enough, and he doesn't run away when he hears the gong, that is naturally an ideal situation; if the White Walker's intelligence is high, he guesses that there is a trap, and plans to escape, it should appear as the dead.

A wise person must have a temper. If a human being slips down from a tree, stands on a flat ground, and raises an iron sword to challenge loudly: "Bastard, do you dare to challenge me one-on-one? See if Grandpa doesn't cut off your cold Xiaoji!" lucky."

Well, Dany was very curious, how would the White Walkers who were planning to retreat react?

And Jon is a dead man.

It wasn't that Dany took the opportunity to kill her nephew, who told him to have a Valyrian steel sword!

The five-member team, in addition to the corpse guards and the dead, also has the Mobile Knights.

Doesn't each squad have a horse?

After removing the chains, oil pipes, traps, hunting nets, ropes, spirits, sausages and other items, the pack horse becomes a war horse, and the horse becomes a knight.

There are many stones, tree roots, and puddles under the bushes. The sight at night is not good, and the horse will fall if you are not careful. Ordinary people are simply unable to ride a horse in the ghost forest.

In the complex forest terrain, it is rare to not get lost during the day.

But the Night's Watch Rangers are not ordinary people at all.

A squad of rangers, three men and three horses, can patrol the endless haunted forest for months.

During this period, he could only rely on his wilderness survival ability stronger than that of Mr. Bei to find food and drink by himself, and he had to deal with the beasts and savages in the forest.

Running in the woods at night without getting lost or falling down, and avoiding the cold arrows of wild men by the way, is only a basic skill.

Without such skills, the first patrol mission will not survive.

Therefore, the Ranger is the most powerful and honorable profession of the Night's Watch.

When he first arrived at the Great Wall, Jon was frustrated, annoyed, and complained for a long time because he was not assigned to the ranger team—until Sam told him the meaning of the commander-in-chief, the next commander-in-chief of the night watchman.

Well, farther away.

The rangers will gather in the center of the diamond formation on horseback, 20 riders, and form four cavalry squads again, each with five cavalry, and the four squadrons will guard the four corners of the diamond formation.

It is also impossible for Dany to really let the "dead man" die without any defense.

If a hunting spot encounters a different ghost, a corresponding cavalry squad will rush over to support it immediately.

Well, Dany isn't sending dragons down in the woods to breathe fire until the Ranger squad arrives on the battlefield.What if a White Walker hides aside and throws a javelin at her dragon, and she won't cry?

Of course, Dany has also prepared a trump card. If the situation is urgent, she can only throw the white knight down to save the scene.

The white knight is skilled in martial arts, with Valyrian steel armor and iron sword, he can certainly stand up to a White Walker alone.
