Chapter 324 Ghouls Assault the Camp

Stannis also knew that Dany organized the death squad to go north to the Haunted Forest to capture the White Walkers, but he had no intention of participating in it.

First of all, he doesn't want to work with the Dragon Queen, and he doesn't want to see her virtue of riding a dragon to show off her might.

Also because of the dark tricks in his heart, getting along with the parties will remind him of his own misery—he is strict with himself on weekdays, and is proud of his noble morality and character (Erlu worked hard and succeeded in believing that Renly's death had nothing to do with him) , Conspiring to murder the Dragon Queen is contrary to his values.

Secondly, even though he has repeatedly declared that he is the savior, the fight for the Iron Throne has only one purpose: to unite the power of the Seven Kingdoms under the legitimate king—that is, himself—to deal with the evil gods in the north.

But in fact, Stannis has never seen the White Walkers at all, and he didn't fundamentally understand the meaning of "the son of prophecy ending the long night".

To put it bluntly, fighting the White Walkers is a political slogan for the deer party at this time.Raise a flag and ensure that you stand on the moral high ground.

As for the threat of the White Walkers, they had never even seen it before, so they couldn't agree with it from the bottom of their hearts.

In the end, the deer party was very tired and had no energy to spend time with the Dragon Queen.

The raid on the savage camp lasted only one morning, and it ended after lunch, so it didn't seem like much energy was spent.

But the Deer Party is not a night watchman, and has been stationed on the Great Wall.They set off from Dragonstone Island, drifted on the sea for several months, crossed thousands of miles of sea and came to Eastwatch. Before they had time to repair, they immediately headed towards Castle Black.

This is outside the Great Wall where the night temperature is more than ten degrees below zero!

The deer party are all southerners, and after trekking 250 kilometers in the ice and snow, they finally came outside the savage camp.

But in order to ensure the suddenness of the sneak attack, they had to enter the Ghost Forest in the middle of the night, make a big circle, and hide the cavalry behind the wildling camp

In this way, they fought fiercely for another morning, and were sadly torn apart by hundreds of giants, and two hundred heavy cavalrymen were torn apart.

After that, they took prisoners, cleaned the battlefield, and treated the wounded soldiers. At night, they had to burn the bodies of the dead, and were ridiculed by the Dragon Queen.

Therefore, when the cries, cursing, and fighting came from the camp outside the city, the stag party knight was still asleep; Erlu got up and rejected the red pomegranate without hesitation.

"I don't care about the life and death of savages, but I also understand that savages can be resurrected after death. The more savages die at this time, the greater the trouble in the future. But in the battle yesterday, the cavalry under my command exhausted their energy, and they couldn't be relieved for two or three days. Come.

Moreover, it is difficult to distinguish the enemy's situation at night, what if the army of strange ghosts is ambushing at the side? " Stannis bit his cheek, looking ugly.

As the top three famous generals in Westeros (commented by Barristan), Erlu understands the truth of "know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never lose a hundred battles".

He and his knights had never fought a White Walker before, and they certainly didn't want to hand over the first time in such a daze.

In case his more than 1000 cavalrymen were handed over to the Great Wall in a wave (like the Dothraki Roaring Warrior under Dragon Mother's command in the last season of "Game of Thrones"), how could he have the capital to be the son of prophecy?

Bowen Marsh reluctantly left the conning tower, climbed up the city wall, and urged the trumpeter to blow the horn vigorously, unable to stop for a moment.

"I only hope that Her Majesty Daenerys can hear the sound of the trumpet and bring the dragon to help." He said helplessly to the one-armed Donner.

In the end, he seemed to express his feelings: "The king with a dragon is the real dragon!"

Dani’s new savage camp has accommodated more than 1 savages who escaped. They are not counted as Sene savages for the time being, and their future destination is not determined: either continue to be savages, or go to the other side of the narrow sea with the Dragon Queen to beg for food, or fight for the night watchmen. Day laborer, rent yourself out.

But since Danni saved them from Erlu, she will not let them go and let these 1 people rot under the Great Wall—she has always despised the people who are in chaos, have no social system, no organization, and no law.

Barristan started taking in wildlings in the morning and worked until sunset.

According to Dani's instructions, he temporarily organized the savages in the camp into households according to tribes, customs, and regions.The camp is divided into 12 areas, divided into twelve thousand-man brigades, 120 hundred-man squadrons, and 1200 ten-man squadrons.

Whether it is a commander of a thousand, a centurion or a commander of ten, the wildlings themselves choose them, and the Dragon Queen and Barristan don't interfere.

Except for the captain who needs to report to Barristan and the Dragon Queen—recognize the face, the appointment and dismissal of other captains don't even need to notify Dany.

So when the ghouls came, the camp didn't collapse.

"huhuhuhu"

As the first group of ghouls with blue eyes emitting blue light appeared at the edge of the forest, a strong wind blew up, wrapping around the body like a poisonous snake, taking away the body heat.

Then, the silver-gray sky dimmed, like a full moon covering the sky with a veil.

The new wind rises, bringing milky mist to the camp.

"Be careful, those ghosts are coming!" Morona, who was stationed by the cremation altar, woke up from her doze, picked up the spear beside her, and shouted anxiously to the surrounding wildlings.

"What?" The big daddy Jurgen on the other side didn't react at first, but he just looked up into the woods, and the densely packed dead eyes with glimmering ice blue light made him shiver immediately.

"Dangdangdangdang——" He frantically rang the gong beside him, and while running towards the camp, he shouted: "The ghouls are attacking, the army of ghouls is attacking! Get up, don't sleep, hundreds of thousands of dead people, Immediately, burn wood, tents, oil barrels, quick, quick!"

After a while, Val began to gallop around the camp on a horse: "Children and old people, go to the bottom of the city wall. Good men and spearwives follow me to the cremation stand."

The wildlings have far more experience dealing with wights than the Night's Watch, having dealt with the White Walkers for several years.

At least the psychological quality passed the test, and the team did not collapse.

When the first batch of about 1000 ghouls with glimmering ice-blue eyes came out of the forest, the four savage commanders Morona, Jurgen, Great Elephant, and Val had already led more than [-] savages to be cremated. Taiwan as a stronghold, forming the first line of defense in front of the new camp.

Fortunately, in order to reduce the amount of work, the cremation table was built in the old camp using local materials.

Backed by the forest, it is convenient to cut wood for firewood, and it is also convenient to collect corpses from the old camp.The old camp was right across from the new camp, just in the way of the White Walkers.

Well, ghouls are not stupid, they bypassed the cremation altar, which still had residual heat and charcoal fire.

"What's going on?" The big daddy Jurgen had a torch in his left hand and a bronze scimitar in his right hand, watching the blue-eyed ghouls gathering more and more on the east side of the cremation altar, he broke out in a cold sweat in the cold wind.

Jurgen was the chief of a tribe of savages with eighteen wives and more children than he could count—he wasn't even sure or cared how many belonged to him, hence the nickname "Big Daddy" .

It is also because there are too many wives and children, and it is too difficult to support a family, so he did not escape into the forest, but instead joined the new camp, preparing to go to the other side of the narrow sea to fight.

"No, something is wrong, why didn't they rush over like before, what are they waiting for?"

He himself had already guessed what the ghoul was waiting for, but the truth was too terrifying, and he desperately expected a different answer from his companion.

Val immediately ruthlessly punctured Big Daddy Jurgen's fantasy: "There are white ghosts, and the white ghosts are controlling them. He is waiting for all the wights in the woods to come out and come at us together."

"Damn it, didn't the Dragon Queen just go to catch the white ghost? Why did the white ghost come here instead?" the big elephant yelled.

The giant elephant is the leader of the sea people tribe on the frozen coast, a big man with a big beard who looks like Hagrid in "Harry Potter".

As early as the three-party talks, he was convinced by the Dragon Queen.

If Mance Rayder hadn't proposed Article [-] of the "Tripartite Lease Agreement" (no need to sign an agreement immediately, allowing savages to wait and see), he would have signed the agreement long ago.

"The night watchmen are blowing their trumpets desperately, probably to summon the Dragon Queen." Val mused.

"Will the night watchmen come out? The Red God King, doesn't he have armored cavalry? It's time for them to come out and break up the ranks of the dead." Morona, the spearwife wearing a white weirwood mask, said.

Morona is the leader of a small tribe and is not eligible for the tripartite talks.But she is still a wizard, with an online IQ, and she knows how to be in awe. She was among the first people to sign a lease contract with the Dragon Queen.

"Don't think about it, the city gate is tightly closed, and no one comes out. The king with a flaming red heart will not care about the life and death of free people." Val shook his head.

"Watch out, they're coming!" a savage shouted sharply.

The dead corpses on the opposite side didn't shout. In fact, apart from the sound of rushing in the mud, the army of thousands of people didn't make any extra noise.

Their movements are frighteningly fast, without the crookedness and bumps of zombies at all, almost running at the same speed as ordinary people.

As the ghouls approached, gusts of cold wind blew away the hair of the savages first. The icy cold caused the flames on the torches to shrank in a circle.

"Kill!" Big Daddy roared, and swung the blue-eyed ghoul running towards him with the torch in his hand.

"Bang!" It hit the face of the one-armed ghoul, and the kerosene from the torch stuck to its face. In the blink of an eye, the whole head was "beep beep beep" on fire, and the fire even spread to the lower body.

Ghouls burn so easily, it's as if their skin is oil-soaked cloth.

Big Daddy raised his right foot, and slammed it into the ghoul's belly.

"Boom!" Flying in mid-air, the ghoul that had turned into a torch exploded into two pieces and landed on the two running ghouls respectively.

"Boom, boom!" Another two torches.

"Haha, bastard, go to hell!" The big elephant laughed triumphantly.

"Hey!" There was a piercing sound, and a cold light hit him.

As expected, the big daddy had rich experience, he didn't use the torch held in his left hand to block the opponent's weapon, but suddenly raised the bronze knife in his right hand, and greeted him.

"Crack!" Sen Bai Hanguang drew an arc in the air almost without hesitation, the bronze knife was section by section, the expression on Big Daddy's face froze, a trace of blood slipped from the center of the brow to the chin.

"Plop!" The big daddy, who has been mastering outside the Great Wall for decades, fell to the ground, his hands and feet twitched a few times, and soon struggled to get up again.

"Bah—" The torch held in his left hand flickered and went out.

"—" There was no cry of pain, it was still the same face, from the center of the brow to the tip of the nose, the lips were divided into two, and all the way to the square chin, there was a line of coagulated blood.

He held the extinguished wooden stick in his left hand and the bronze knife with a half-broken blade in his right. He turned around and looked at Morona who was not far away.
