Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"It's so cold here," Fermor Nacroz sat in front of the fire pot, placing his hands in a warm but not scalding position. "In Slaver's Bay, even in the depths of winter, it's not even ten times as cold as here." A severe cold.”

Fermor was the commander-in-chief of the imperial expeditionary force that set out from Volantis. Four days ago, he arrived at Seal Bay with the first batch of 8,000 sergeants on the advance fleet. After landing, he quickly came to Castle Black and Eddard. The remaining garrison met up.

This was a number decided upon by Ian and Eddard Stark after discussion. Because they were operating on a fast ship, leaving behind the main force of the fleet, they naturally could not obtain supplies from the Imperial Navy's baggage fleet.

According to Eddard Stark, before the Imperial baggage fleet arrives, there is only so much food and grass he can ask Robb to raise in advance to support the troops.

"However, here, winter has not really arrived yet." The answer to Fermor was Sir Denys Mallister, an old knight of the Night Watch. He has a pair of blue-gray eyes and slender white hair. He had a beard, almost no hair on his head, and his face was deeply wrinkled.

Ser Denys Mallister was assigned to the Rangers after joining the Night's Watch. To this day, he has been the Commander of the Shadow Tower for 33 years.

In the previous war against the wildlings, the wildlings tried to persuade the old knight to surrender after capturing Castle Black, but he refused. Sir Denys has always led a small number of Night's Watchmen to guard the Shadow Tower to the death, repelling the attacks of the wildlings many times.

Perhaps because the King Beyond the Wall was in a hurry to go south to Winterfell and took away most of his troops, the wildlings left behind to guard Castle Black themselves did not have enough troops. In the end, the wildlings gave up on storming the castle at the westernmost end of the Great Wall and just besieged it. This allowed Sir Denys to successfully drag Eddard Stark to conquer Castle Black and lift the siege of the Shadow Tower.

Soon after, Eddard Stark received an edict from King Qin from the south. He hurriedly left two thousand men on the Great Wall to be commanded by Sir Denis, and then sent his troops south to fight to defend Queen Shireen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After hearing what Sir Dennis said, Fermor couldn't help but sigh.

"How do you say this?" Sir Dennis was a little curious.

"More than two years ago," Fermor explained with a smile, "when we were still in Slaver's Bay, His Majesty ordered a large sum of money to be invested in the textile industry, allowing them to start producing warm clothes, and then even more We designed a kind of protective gear called 'cotton armor'. By the time of this expedition, almost our entire army had obtained enough protection against the cold. If not, these people who lived in the warm south I brought Soldiers, I'm afraid they will die of cold before they see the face of the White Walkers."

"Surprising." Dennis showed a thoughtful expression.

"You mean that His Majesty knew two years ago that he was going to fight the White Walkers in the cold winter today?"

"No," Dennis shook his head, "I mean, a king of a slave empire would actually care about the life and death of his soldiers." He paused for a moment, "Actually, I have heard a lot about Ian Darry before. Most of the rumors about the Emperor were quite negative, which made me form an impression of him. This impression did not change until Lord Stark surrendered to him, but now..."

Fermor did not answer, but waited for Sir Dennis to continue.

"I must admit that your army is the most disciplined army I have ever seen or heard of. You come from a foreign country and come here on a fleet expedition. This should have been a disaster for the North, and it may not be worse than What you call the 'White Walker' disaster, but nothing I feared happened.

I am amazed by your ability to build camps and ensure logistics. You quickly built winter camps without occupying castles and villages. You even prepared enough cold-weather clothing in advance without the need to rob on the spot. I began to understand why Stark The adults will be defeated by you. You always seem to be well prepared for everything. "

"Because our emperor is a god," Fermor then answered, and then continued, "But let us skip this topic. His Majesty reminded me before I left Volantis. Don’t discuss religious issues with local nobles after Tello, let alone preach to them in a hurry.”

"I sincerely appreciate your Majesty's respect for us." Sir Dennis quickly bowed his head and saluted. As an old knight who has believed in the Seven Gods all his life, he was certainly not willing to listen to those pagan blasphemies, even though he knew that the entire Westeros had converted to Christianity. It was only a matter of time, but even if it was just a matter of time, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"His Majesty does not seek your gratitude, ser. He seeks your loyalty."

"The Night's Watch never loyal to any king, but since Emperor Ian came to help us resist the evil in the north, we should serve him to the death."

"Thank you for your majesty's wisdom. The situation is not bad enough for you to fight to the death, and you don't have many troops to fight to the death. You must have heard that more than 100,000 troops are rushing here now." Fermor said After a pause, he took out a map of the Great Wall area, "What we need now is your experience and wisdom. What you need to do now is to find all the places suitable for building castles and fortresses south of the Great Wall, and These are the places where the fortress will be built. You have been here all your life, and there is no one better suited to this task than you, and all the craftsmen, soldiers, peasants, and savages here will help you in this matter."

"Ah?" Sir Dennis was a little confused, "I don't understand. We obviously have the Great Wall of Despair. It stretches for 300 miles, with the highest point nearly 700 feet. It is made of ice, snow and boulders. It has a total of 19 castles. Our legion can be stationed there. All of these castles or camps are built underneath the castles. Moreover, the Great Wall is also blessed with ancient magic, which can prevent creatures called white ghosts from passing through."

"Have you ever heard of the Horn of Winter?" Fermor interrupted Sir Dennis.

"The Horn of Winter? That's just a fairy tale!" How could Sir Dennis, who had been stationed at the Great Wall for decades, not hear this story? In myths and legends a thousand years ago, Qiaoman, the king beyond the wall, once "blowed the horn of winter and awakened the giants underground", and this horn could cause the Great Wall to collapse.

"The White Walkers are also myths," Fermor reminded. "To be honest, we don't know whether this Winter Horn really exists, or whether it has fallen into the hands of the Night King, but we must do a good job. Prepare for a decisive battle with the enemy without the Great Wall."

"Okay," Dennis had no choice but to nod, but then quickly said, "But where do we get the materials and time? Heavy snow has blocked many mountain roads, and we now have no way to get the boulders used to build the castle. And I remember you said the enemy would be coming soon.”

"You only need to be responsible for finding the right place, materials and time. We will naturally have dedicated craftsmen in charge. You must know that although winter comes because of the cold god, it will not always be on the cold god's side." (End of this chapter.) )
