Chapter 391 Long Xiao Nine Heavens

"I remember the last time the Green Fork froze when I was a young guy, it should have been more than sixty years ago..."

"A seven-year summer was followed by a brief fall, followed by a six-year winter, and that's when the Green Fork froze."

"The people who froze to death at that time—"

Old Marquis Frey waved his hand, as if he was a little embarrassed about the past.

But then the old Marquis Frey stopped a little stiffly, and then slowly put it back on his crutches.

He watched the Green Fork River, which had gradually stopped flowing, condensed with a layer of ice under the wind and snow, and his dim old eyes were a little ecstatic.

He has been looking at this river for almost ninety years. The Frey family has also been revitalized in his hands. The power of the family has increased. Everyone should not be underestimated. A natural disaster.

The galloping Green Fork River finally stopped flowing.

There was no one beside old Walder Frey, who had been talking to himself just now.

The disaster is at hand, and the first thing the White Walkers will hit after passing through the neck is the Twins. The Twins are to the Riverlands what Carlin Bay is to the North.

In the face of the enemy coming from the south, guarding the northern border of Carlin Bay can be safe and sound.

And facing the place from the north, as long as the princes of the river land can defend the Twin River City, the problem can be largely solved.

The members of the Frey family were prosperous, but all the dead and wounded had been dispatched at this moment. Only old Frey himself was left in the Twin Rivers City, and the children and grandchildren he missed had already been sent to the Essos continent by boat.

Old Foyle has a wealth of experience, and he sensed the danger early and made a plan. He wanted to leave a little fire for the Foyle family.

And even if he wanted to go, he usually boasted that his old and strong body would not support him to cross the sea, and he would probably die in the sea, so he gave up this idea.

More than a month has passed since the Battle of Kalim Bay.

The coalition hopes that the wildfire plan to kill the Night King failed, although a large number of ordinary ghouls were killed, but the Night King was not injured at all.

And the next tactics the coalition army prepared, the Reed family united with Greywater Watch to deal with the White Walkers in the neck also failed.

The elusive coalition soldiers who followed behind the Zedi people desperately stopped the advance of the dead army, although it did achieve a certain degree of success at first.

However, the other party adopted a method of subduing ten guilds with one force. Even if the ghouls in the back of the quagmire would step on the bodies of the ghouls in front of them, they would kill the guerrillas and the coalition soldiers.

And all this disappeared after the Night King shot, the rotting silt froze and turned into hard ground, and the boats in the complex river channel of the reeds were frozen and unable to move.

The army of the dead ran unimpeded in the neck, and countless swamps and coalition soldiers were slaughtered, and they didn't even have the strength to resist.

The enigmatic leader of the Swedes, Holland Reed, is said to have hanged himself in the halls of his castle.

And his daughter Meera Reed and son Jiujian Reed escaped the neck with the soldiers of the coalition forces.

The Battle of the Neck was a losing streak, and the coalition army was broken into pieces. Thousands of battles took place in half a month, but few were victorious.

The morale of the coalition soldiers reached an alarmingly low level in the process, the army was disillusioned, and the people were panicked.

This time, it was not just ordinary soldiers, but the entire army, including the king and major nobles, was shrouded in a layer of despair.

The Neck is the most promising line of defense for mankind to stop the White Walkers. The coalition forces have spent all their energy, manpower, financial and material resources in order to stop the White Walkers in the Neck.

"They thought that the neck would be the second 'Great Wall of Despair' in Westeros. It is a natural defense line with a copper wall and an iron wall that cannot be crossed, giving infinite hope."

"However, they didn't expect that after the real encounter with the White Walkers, this unbreakable line of defense turned out to be as fragile as a piece of paper"

Tycho Nestos, manager of the Braavos Iron Vault, wrote in his journal.

He is the plenipotentiary sent by Braavos to handle the loan between the Iron Throne and the Iron Vault. At the same time, he is also in the coalition's battalion and is the most important old landowner, so he can see and hear firsthand. Many secrets that have not been communicated to the outside world.

And what he saw and heard about the state of affairs on the Westeros continent will naturally be passed back to Braavos City, becoming the basis for Lord Aquaman's decision.

According to Tycho Nestos' judgment, Westeros has reached a critical moment of life and death.

The White Walkers breaking through the neck also means that the coalition forces are on the verge of collapse. If King's Landing falls, I am afraid that Westeros is not far from being completely occupied.

New Year 293 in Aegon's calendar, but for the Baratheon dynasty it was called 293 in the "Conquest Calendar".

Desperate coalition forces fought back against the Green Fork and the Twins on New Year's Day.

Even changed the previous strict defense tactics, but launched a desperate charge towards the army of the dead.

The knights of countless families wore bright armor and charged at the forefront with strong shields and spears.

"kill!"

On the banks of the Green Fork, the screams of killing were earth-shattering.

As the king of the Seven Kingdoms, Robert Baratheon did not listen to anyone's persuasion this time, but charged forward with a warhammer himself.

The king charged ahead, and the rest of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms naturally did not have the face to retreat in the back.

Eddard Stark also accompanied his good brother. The king's eldest brother Stannis did not abandon his brother and fled back to Dragonstone, the riverlands, the knights of the valley, the soldiers of the west, the Reach, etc.

The soldiers of the coalition army burst out several times of potential and courage in desperate situation for the last battle for their hometown behind them.

However, courage can never overcome absolute power.

Looking down from the sky and clouds that penetrated the white wind and snow, the number of ghouls on the ground and the soldiers of the Seven-Nation Allied Forces was simply disproportionate.

Moreover, the number of ghouls is still increasing, the figures of the coalition soldiers are falling one by one, and the extremely exaggerated power ratio is still being eroded and shrinking at a geometric speed.

Blood stained the frozen river surface, smashed ice cubes rushed into the icy river water, and corpses fell across the river bank.

The old Marquis of Frey stood on the bridge of the Twin Rivers. He looked at the distant battlefield and finally showed despair in his eyes. Then he let go of his hands and fell free from the bridge, jumping into the Green Fork River. I want to end my life.

bang——

However, the body of the old Marquis Frey did not smash the hard river ice, and the back of the head slammed heavily on the ice, smashing out a white shallow pit.

The blood gushing out from the back of his head quickly dyed the ice surface red, but his body was not completely dead yet, he struggled slightly, and a pair of dim old eyes stared at the sky without focus.

But at this time.

Suddenly, a loud roar of a giant dragon came from the distant horizon, and it quickly spread all over the world.

The Night King, who was riding his horse behind the Legion of the Dead, suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, the ice-blue flames burning in his eyes jumped sharply.
