In Winterfell, with the evacuation of the people, less than 6,000 of the more than 20,000 permanent residents remain...≦

The women and children basically evacuated. At this critical moment of life and death, most of the men finally chose to abandon their hometown. Only more than 800 people stayed.

Including the 5,000 guards in Winterfell, there are only less than 6,000 people.

The lord's wife, Catherine, originally insisted on staying, but under the persuasion of Lord Eddard and the maester, she took Bran and Rickon's two sons and Sansa and Arya's two daughters to leave for King's Landing.

Eddard's eldest son, Robb, and his illegitimate son, Jon, stayed behind. They had just passed their fifteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. Originally Eddard did not agree with the two of them staying, but the two successively challenged the two men around Eddard.

Guards, and won the victory, proving his strength.

Coupled with the support of the lord's wife, Ed, as the lord, had no choice but to agree.

On the fifth day after the people evacuated, shortly after nightfall, the sentry on the tower rang the warning bell.

Guding turned over and sat up. In the past few days, he had been living in the blacksmith shop and did not go out.

The food was prepared by the blacksmith before he left, and was enough for him for half a month. He was also told that if he really survived and the food was not enough, he should go to the lord.

After becoming a magician, Guding's need for food has been reduced a lot, because the function of food itself is to provide energy to the body, and Guding's body has been able to absorb elemental energy. The half-month's worth of food left by the blacksmith, Guding

It can last for at least two months.

In the past five days, Guding has not been idle. He has developed several new magics, including defense and dodge, and has been practicing these days. Almost every day, his strength is improving.

This improvement in strength also gave Guding a good feeling. At least it gave him a certain degree of confidence in his own safety.

The sentry's warning bell made Guding appear on the street. Then he applied the wind magic and anti-gravity magic developed in the past few days to his feet, and jumped onto the roof.

This new magic can even allow him to glide briefly in the air, but in the gliding state, it consumes a lot of mental energy.

After jumping to the roof, the view was still not enough. Gu Ding made several leaps and climbed up to a tall tower not far away.

It was the Maester's Tower, but it was empty.

On the second night after the people in the city left, Gu Ding had just developed this new magic and sneaked in. All the books and materials were gone. I don’t know if they were destroyed or taken away. But Gu Ding knew

I remember that the dozen or so bachelors left empty-handed, and no soldiers were seen carrying books and other items from the bachelor's tower.

According to Guding's speculation, those books and materials were either completely destroyed or taken away using space-based means. But Guding is more inclined to the latter, because if it is destroyed, it is impossible not to leave even a trace.

After climbing to the top of the tower, Guding looked outside the city gate.

He finally saw what those so-called White Walkers looked like.

Those ghosts look somewhat similar to humans. They are just tall, each one is more than two meters tall. Their bodies are withered, their skin seems to have been dried, and you can even vaguely see the muscle texture in their bodies. The most special thing is that

Their eyes are all deep ice blue, like burning blue fire.

There are more than a dozen White Walkers, and behind them are corpses with pale skin and stiff movements.

The number of those corpses is probably not one hundred thousand, but seventy or eighty thousand.

Gu Ding only took one glance and determined that the city could not be defended.

Even without the White Walkers, the number of wights has exceeded the number of people defending the city. In addition, the wights themselves are extremely powerful, three to five times the strength of ordinary people, and they cannot be killed by ordinary methods, and can only be burned with fire.

die.

In addition, there are more than a dozen strange ghosts who are completely ignorant, possessing wisdom no less than that of humans, and possessing unknown terrifying power.

There is absolutely no suspense in this battle.

Just when Guding frowned slightly, Jon next to the lord saw him on the top of the bachelor's tower.

Jon was standing on the back right side of the lord. When he looked to the front right, he caught a glimpse of the bachelor's tower from the corner of his eye. He noticed someone on top and immediately turned his head to look over.

When Gu Ding saw that he had discovered him, he was not panicked. He just waved his hand at him and then made a silent gesture.

Jon frowned slightly, but seeing that the other person was just a child, and remembering that his brother Bran also liked to climb tower ladders, he immediately turned back without saying anything.

But there was some doubt in his mind, "Whose child is this? Haven't all children under the age of sixteen been evacuated?"

This question only stayed in his mind for a moment before being thrown aside, because his attention was already on the army of White Walkers.

It was the first time he saw such an inhuman army, with a chilling aura, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.

At this moment, Lord Ed's attention was completely focused on the White Walker army outside the city, with a sad look on his brows. With many years of combat experience, he knew very well that in this battle, the city would be destroyed, and there would be no second choice.

possible.

"Catapult!"

Ed watched the army getting closer and closer. He turned around and issued the first command immediately. "Fire! Attack!"

The heavy stones of the catapults have long been replaced by bags of flammable materials doused with kerosene, which can be ignited with just a spark.

After receiving the order, all the projectiles of the twelve catapults were ignited and then launched out of the city.

After the bags of flammable materials hit the ground, they splashed out in all directions, and soon contaminated the bodies of the corpses.

Many corpses turned into burning men, fell to the ground and turned into ashes.

However, this did not stop the army of ghouls who were not afraid of death. These ghouls seemed to have no idea what fear was, let alone what pain was. Many of the ghouls who were not completely burned completely ignored the burns on their bodies.

The burning part didn't even know how to extinguish the flames, but ran towards the direction of the city gate without any pause.

"The so-called corpse ghosts are indeed undead puppets with no self-consciousness. Therefore, they cannot feel pain, fear and other emotions that living people should have... But fortunately, these things have almost zero resistance to flames.

It's not difficult to deal with." Gu Ding stared at the situation on the battlefield intently and made various judgments.

"But those White Walkers who led the army, according to the records in the book, have wisdom no less than that of humans, which seems to be true now. They are also observing the lords and others on the city wall..." Guding's eyes fell on

On the bodies of several White Walkers.

Suddenly, a strange ghost seemed to notice Guding's gaze and looked in his direction.

Gu Ding was not too surprised to be discovered by the other party. Because he had seen too many strong people, before he stepped into reincarnation, let alone the White Walkers, he could crush even this continent with one finger.

Tens of thousands.

Gu Ding looked at him with eyes, without any fear.

The White Walker's gaze quickly attracted the attention of Ed and others. They followed his gaze and saw Guding at the top of the tower.

"Child? Whose child is this?!" Ed frowned slightly and said to Jon beside him, "Take him to a safe place and hide him. Whether he can survive or not depends on his luck."

[Sorry, there was a setting bug about the White Walkers earlier. In Game of Thrones, the White Walkers are not afraid of fire, only dragonglass, obsidian and dragon breath. I remembered wrongly, but wights can be burned to death with fire.
