Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 767 The Glorious Tradition of the Northerners

"You don't know the difference between ghosts and ghosts?"

Facing the strange eyes of everyone, Dani's tone was even more strange.

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing why.

It was Cruise and Ed Amber, the chief guards, who were thoughtful.

"We saw the real living dead for the first time. The previous summons sounded as far away as the old Nan's story." Sir Cruise smiled wryly.

"The news of the White Walkers appeared a few years ago, right? I've been promoting the 'United Front Against Ghosts'. In the end, Hearth City is the prince closest to the Great Wall, so they didn't prepare at all?" Dany felt incredible.

"How do we prepare? We only know that dragon crystal weapons can deal with aliens, but dragon crystals are so expensive, much more expensive than white bread, so we can't store them on a large scale!" Earl Ed was frustrated.

This is the truth.

Don't look at Dany's digging dragon crystals on Dragonstone Island, but dragon crystal mines will only appear around the volcano.

How many volcanoes are there in the world?

The world of A Song of Ice and Fire is larger than Earth, but the only places where there are active volcanoes are Dragonstone and Valyria!

Of course, volcanoes have also appeared in other places. For example, the dragon crystal weapons of the children of the forest come from outside the Great Wall. For example, in the trade between the East and the West, the Yasha dragon crystal has always been one of the most important export commodities.

This shows that there used to be volcanoes in Asshai and Beyond the Great Wall.But tens of millions of years have passed, the fire in the center of the earth has decreased year by year, and the volcano has gradually extinguished.

"Actually, even with dragonglass weapons, we can't defend the castle. During the Battle of the Four Kings a few years ago, the men in Hearth City were almost wiped out, and there is not enough troops!" The chief guard said bitterly.

This is also true.

At the first harvest banquet after Robb led the army to the south, the two acting city lords of Hearth City even asked Bran Stark (after Robb left, the eight-year-old Bran became the acting city lord of Winterfell) because of the lack of strong men. ) sent people to help them harvest food and resist the savages who came around from Seal Bay.

Also because the war of the Four Kings was delayed for too long, large tracts of golden wheat in the northern border rotted in the fields and no one harvested them.

To put it bluntly, more than [-]% of the northern soldiers Robb took away were farmers.

"As you said before, it is a small town outside the city walls, and there are 5000 people in Hearth Castle." Dany frowned.

"One thousand conscripted soldiers leave at least three thousand family members." Sir Cruise's face was so bitter that he could almost wring out a large bowl of bitter melon juice, "We sent a total of three thousand soldiers to accompany King Robb on the expedition. All of them have gone and never returned, and the rest are old and weak women and children."

Earl Ed also said in a rough voice: "Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood, it is not that there are fifteen thousand subjects around the fireplace castle.

It's the entire territory of our Amber family. All civilians have moved to Hearth Castle for the winter, and there are only 5000 people. "

How big is the Amber family's territory?

At least it is larger than South Korea's land area.

With such a large area, there are only 5000 people left? ! (ps)

"You must leave," Dany said in a more resolute tone after learning about the situation in Hearth Castle, "As you said, there were forty thousand ghouls who came to attack Hearth Castle this time, but this actually only accounted for [-] of the total number of ghouls. A very small fraction maybe, only one percent.

If you don't leave, sooner or later the ghouls will come back and sweep you away. "

"One percent?!" Everyone's complexion changed wildly, and they exclaimed.

"Impossible? If there are only one percent of the 400 ghouls, then the total will not exceed 400 million? [-] million, gods!"

Ed Amber's immature face, which still had fine down, turned pale as snow in an instant.

"Maybe it was only a million, but" Dany looked around, "are you all used to burials?"

"Don't they even let go of the corpses in the graves? Is there any humanity left?" Cruise, the head of the guard, said with an ugly expression.

"How do you think they have humanity?" Dany asked strangely.

"How could the gods allow such a monster to appear?" Sir Cruise murmured.

"Now that they're here, we just have to accept that and study their habits and weaknesses.

The living dead resurrected by the dead are ghouls, ghouls are resurrected by the white ghosts, and are also controlled by the white ghosts. If a ghost is killed, all the ghouls controlled by it will die, um, and become rotten corpses again. "

"Ah, I see." Little Earl Ed suddenly realized, "Your Majesty should have killed a different ghost before, and then all the ghouls controlled by it in the entire Hearth Castle died!

As I said, most of the hundreds of ghouls on the second floor died suddenly after the explosion. "

Dany nodded and said with a smile: "That's about it. At that time, there was a White Walker standing on the platform in front of the castle with a proud expression, as if savoring the fruits of victory.

But it stood there alone, so vivid, I couldn't help but threw a big fireball of dragon flame at it.

But it was only one of the white ghosts who attacked Hearth Castle, and there was another one outside the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately disbanded the army of ghouls and hid separately in the snow forest.

I was ambushing in fear, so I only cleaned up the remaining ghouls in the castle, and did not catch up.

It is conceivable that when I leave, it will be very difficult for you to survive just relying on the escaped ghost. "

Ed Umber reluctantly expressed his gratitude to the Dragon Queen, and then agreed to leave his hometown according to her arrangement.

Now that they decided to leave, the people of Hearth Castle began to prepare their bags.

The food and belongings are sealed in the deepest part of the basement, and the load of the pterosaurs is limited. They cannot carry anything except the warm clothes on their bodies.

Ed Amber and the chief guard were busy in the basement, while Dani climbed up the city gate tower to face the cold wind and practice with her eyes closed.

With Xiaojinlongling, her consciousness returned to the strange space in the Great Wall, and the laws of the world were opened to her, just like the Holy Spirit at the beginning of the world, listening to the song of laws directly.

Before that, she let three giant dragons blow fire along the city wall, melting all the snow that was more than ten meters thick into water, which flowed into the nearby Mo River.

That way, even if the White Walkers go and return, the walls will hold them back for a while.

Half a day passed like this, and Dany, who was in meditation, was awakened by the sound of the city gate creaking open.

Looking down, it was a team of more than a hundred people, armed with spears, carrying bows and arrows, and seemed to be preparing to go out of the city to fight?

"What are you doing?" Dany asked loudly, overlooking the crowd below.

"Ah, it's the Dragon Queen!"

There was a commotion in the crowd below.

It seemed that they originally wanted to avoid her to do bad things, but now they were caught and panicked.

Dani's eyes froze, those people were male and female, but all of them had gray hair.

Not a single adult, not a single child.

She is getting more and more strange.

Leaping forward, like a piece of catkins falling from the 18-meter-high city wall, it caused a burst of exclamation from the crowd below.

"Where are you going?" Dany looked sternly, scanning the old men in shabby furs.

They bowed their heads, looking embarrassed.

Finally, a lame old man with blue eyes took a step forward, bowed to the Dragon Queen, and said, "Your Majesty, let's go hunting. Maybe you can eat fresh roasted venison at night."

"Damn it, where did the deer come from in this weather? And there are strange ghosts hiding in the woods, are you going to die?" Dany said lightly.

"Ah, the ghosts" someone whispered as if awakened: "there are ghosts outside the city, we can't become the living dead."

"Hey, what can we do?" Some old soldiers lamented repeatedly, stamping their spears.

"Your Majesty, I'm Tucas Umber, Greatjon's uncle, can I speak for a moment." The crippled old man approached Dany and whispered.

There was a faint pleading in his voice, Dani felt it, and couldn't bear to refuse.

Then they walked around a jet-black snowdrift scorched by the ghoul's fire, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears.

"Well, to tell you the truth, we really went hunting, but hunting in the winter has a different meaning." The old cripple said bitterly.

Dany suddenly came to her senses, and remembered what Big Bear had said: After winter came, the old men in the north would pick up their bows and arrows and tell the young men to go hunting, but they never came back after they went out.

They didn't go hunting at all. They left the village because their family didn't have enough food for the winter, and they wanted to leave the food reserves to the young people.

"Aren't you enough food for this small group of people?" Dani frowned.

The old cripple's eyes lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that this mysterious and powerful dragon queen also knows the "glorious tradition" of the northerners.

"If Hearth Castle can be held, we can hold on for a few more years, but you also said before that pterosaurs can't carry so many people at once.

Moreover, after going to Winterfell, or other places, there is still not enough food.

I have lived long enough to understand better than anyone else that during the Rebellion of the Four Kings, there was no food storage in the northern border, and even if there were no White Walkers, [-]% of the northern border would starve to death in a long winter of more than three years.

Now, the long night is coming, and we have lived enough, let's leave more chances of survival to the young people! "The old cripple sighed.

Hearing a story is not the same as experiencing it yourself.

Listening to Da Xiong at the time, Danni didn't feel much, but now an old man stood in front of her, speaking the most desperate words with the most calm attitude, she was deeply shocked and even more stimulated.

"Ridiculous, so ridiculous, I will not allow such a thing to happen in front of me! You go back to me and take them all back.

I will stay in Hearth for a few more days, and the pterosaurs will transport you to the south in batches. She blushed and said loudly, pointing at the city gate.

The Dragon Queen's voice was too loud and her tone was too intense, causing the group of old guys under the city gate to lean over quietly and watch on tiptoe.

The old cripple quietly glared at his peeping old partners, then turned to the Dragon Queen, fixedly looked at her firm purple eyes, and said with a wry smile:

"This kind of thing happens in the north every winter. If you can stop this time, can you change everything in the past? Can you stop everything in the future?

At this moment, I guess the old people in other castles have also started to act. You can't change all this. "

"The past cannot be changed, and the future is still uncertain. It is impossible to say that the people of the northern border will completely abolish this bad habit in the future!

But I only care about the present, as long as I can change the tragedy that happened before my eyes. "Dani said seriously.

"Tragedy? You stopped me, and it will lead to tragedy. Thousands of years of history have proved this. Either one will live, or the whole family will die.

This is not a bad habit. We people in the north can reproduce for thousands of years, all thanks to the old people who are not afraid of sacrifice. "

There was a strong pride in the old cripple's tone, as if he was going to fulfill a sacred and glorious mission.

Dani waved her hand and said without doubt: "Follow me to the Crab Claw Peninsula, to Dragonstone Island, I will support you!

I have been helping victims in the Three Rivers Basin, saving tens of thousands of people, and I don't lack a few of you old guys. "
