Chapter 629: Strange Spirits Attack (8)
Bran knows the truth about the Wraith's breach of the Great Wall, and maybe others have forgotten about it, but Bran won't.
The Great Wall of Desperation, which has been garrisoned for thousands of years, is not so easy to climb, how can it be suddenly breached for no reason, it is Jon Snow who guards the Great Wall, and as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, he is not unlearned.
So the only possibility is that what the Green Prophet said is that the fact that the alien ghost resurrected the dragon without a dragon crystal is true.
It's a dragon.
The Green Prophet has a lot of ancient magic, and the last one left may not be able to directly affect the world with magical power, but it is still possible to observe time through the eyes of different animals, Green Vision.
Bran got a lot of news from the Green Prophet, and he was more aware of the power of the aliens, but with his strength, he couldn't stop the aliens, and he could only unite all the humans, but if the aliens really had a corpse dragon, then I am afraid that even if all the humans were united, they would not be able to.
Bran also needs more power, and he needs to use more power, such as ...... South of Westeros.
He sensed a very powerful force, the power of magic, hovering over this land in the south, Bran didn't know where this power came from, but it was probably the only hope to resist the strangers.
In fact, during this magical raid under White Harbor, Bran had already realized the difficulty of the stranger.
For this fledgling little one, the Stark family was wiped out, betrayed by those close to him, and then found the legendary ancient creatures and learned the magic of the Green Prophet, who at first did not take the Green Prophet's warnings to heart. After all, it has such a powerful magic. It's also the time when you're young and competitive. How could Bran put it in his eyes.
Originally, he wanted to use the power lent to him by the Green Prophet to disperse the ghouls gathered under White Harbor in one fell swoop, and then kill the strange ghosts hidden among the ghouls, and by the way, he could also solve the predicament of White Harbor, killing two birds with one stone.
Ghouls don't matter, they're just some corpses, easy to come and easy to go, mostly strangers. Without them, the corpses would naturally cease to move, and their numbers were scarce, and there were only a dozen of them in the entire group of aliens combined, and there were three under White Harbor, and if Bran killed them, it would be equivalent to a heavy injury.
But reality gave Bran a heavy blow, and he did use his magic to drive the plants into the heart of the ghouls, but he didn't kill the three strangers, who seemed to have gone into hiding as expected. So that Bran didn't even touch their shadows.
And this huge magic force is not something that Bran can control, in order not to let himself be fainted in the group of ghouls. Bran could only rush to the wall of White Harbor with Mela, Addo and others in one breath without stopping, and then strengthen the city wall.
Even Bran suspected that the stranger didn't take himself seriously in the first place, and it was true that his magic was enough to kill the stranger, but the stranger had no idea of fighting him at all.
This way of fighting appeared a long time ago in the time of the ancestors and the green prophets, the power of the green prophets is very strong, they can resist and kill the strangers, but not every green prophet can do it, let alone the ancestors, their combat power is the same as the Andals, just ordinary humans.
Therefore, the aliens avoid those green prophets who have powerful magic, and then constantly attack ordinary people, turning them into corpses operated by the aliens, firstly, to weaken the power of humans, increase the number of aliens, and secondly...... Even if it is a green prophet, when those ordinary clansmen are dead, I am afraid that it is meaningless to live alone in the world with a group of ghouls.
This is what the Wraiths do, the same thing that happened to Bran, when they encounter strong magic, they avoid it, and then go and constantly eat away at the weak places, and when all the weak humans become ghouls, the Wraiths have won without a fight.
Bran felt that he was being teased, but he was not provoked, if it was an ordinary person, he might rush out of the city and fight the stranger again, but Bran, who has gone through the changes of the family, is more tolerant than ordinary people.
He realized the cunning of the Stranger, and the wisdom and difficulty of being no less than that of humans, so he chose to back down, preserving the power of the humans in White Harbor City and preventing the Stranger from continuing to grow, and then asking for help and then accumulating strength for a counterattack.
When many nobles in the south were still disdainful of the war in the north, busy competing for immediate interests, eager to accumulate strength in a vain attempt to follow the practices of Baratheon and the Lannister family, ascend to the Iron Throne and become the lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and did not care at all that the catastrophe of human destruction had begun to break out from the north, Bran from the once glorious but declining noble heirs, and ordinary commoners like Daniel, began to show their figure to the world.
It has to be said that the chaotic era has given mankind a broader platform, but after all, not everyone is like this.
"Whew!!"
As if echoing Bran's answer, as his last word fell, a loud dragon roar suddenly rang out from outside White Harbor, piercing the sky and swooping down on the port city, which was shivering in the cold wind.
"It's a dragon!" Bran's face changed suddenly, and so did Sir Marlon and several knights who were quick to react.
"What should we do?" Sir Marlon asked urgently.
"I'll meet them." Bran didn't panic, he stood up calmly, and said with a calm face, "Speed up the transport ship and send everyone out of White Harbor City at all costs." ”
"You don't need to bring the things that occupy the place on the boat, you can send a few more people if you can, go downstream to find Count Wiman, and he will take care of the aftermath and deal with it."
Bran's voice was still very immature, and with his extraordinarily pale face he looked like a child who was about to pass out, but no one here dared to underestimate him, and there was unmistakable firmness in his voice, that Bran Stark, who was once a little weak in Winterfell and could even miss the target with an arrow, had disappeared and was replaced by a new Bran Stark.
No one knows what happened to Bran during the days when he disappeared on the run, only that he was completely different from now on.
"I see." Sir Marlon said in a deep voice, it seemed that he had made up his mind to deal with the mess of the inner harbor with iron and blood.
Whether those civilians want it or not. They will all be ordered to throw away useless clutter. Then forcibly tied to the boat. This is not just because the Mandalay family is kind enough to save these people's lives, but so as not to increase the power of the ghosts.
Because every civilian who stays here will eventually die, and every time one is left in White Harbor City, the power of the ghouls will increase, and then transform into a force against humans, so even those who can't be transferred in the end will be killed and incinerated corpses. Nor will it be left for the strangers.
In the chaos of the hall, when these knights were preparing to prepare for the threat of the corpse dragon from the sky, a person hurriedly ran in from the side of the wooden door, Marlon had some impression of him, it seemed that he was the person next to Willis...... It's called Daniel.
What is he doing at this time, shouldn't he be by Willis's side, Sir Marlon's heart suddenly sank, and he had a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, he came to Bran and lowered himself. A little trembling, he said, "My lord." Sir Willis Mandalay...... Dead. ”
Sir Marlon's heart sank once more into the icy valley, and while defending himself against the strangers on the ramparts, Willis's unrelenting battle left him badly wounded, his entire right arm completely torn off, and many wounds on his body, and by the time Bran arrived at White Harbor, he had fallen into a coma and was in a precarious condition.
And now...... Sir Willis was still dead, and he didn't survive even two days.
Daniel's voice was neither high nor low, and he could hear some grief, so only a few knights near Bran could hear it clearly, if it wasn't for Sir Marlon who had been keeping an eye on it, he probably wouldn't have heard it, but noticing that the expression on Bran's face was a little different, Sir Marlon hurriedly stepped forward.
He knew very well that he didn't have the energy to care about other things at this time, and although Bran was a little mature in strength and command, he would definitely not be able to accept life and death, so even if Willis died, he would be very uncomfortable, but at this moment, this matter must be put aside.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Sir Marlon said to Bran and the others, "The corpse dragons outside are the biggest problem, and if we don't solve them, we probably will have to accompany Veris soon." ”
Bran was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's right." He said, "The dragons are very powerful, and we don't have the energy to disperse them, otherwise White Harbor will be in danger." ”
Just thinking that the Mandalay family has been loyal to Stark for generations, and the relationship between Veris and the Stark family is also very good, Bran still feels very uncomfortable in his heart, but he even faced the death of his father and brother and all his family members and quickly forced it down, and said calmly, "You don't need too many people to face the dragon, there is a city guard crossbow in the city, I'll drag the corpse dragon, you can find a way to move ......"
Rumble!
Suddenly, before Bran finished speaking, there was another violent explosion in White Harbor, as if the earth was shaking, and the whole city shook, Bran was instantly shocked in his heart, this is obviously not something that the corpse dragon can get, what is it, thinking of this, Bran didn't have time to explain and understand, glanced at Sir Marlon and the others, and then ran out in a hurry.
The rest of the people also had serious expressions, but fortunately, they were all remnants of the elite knights, although they were uneasy, they did not panic, and soon began to organize in an orderly manner according to their respective division of labor.
At this time, in the sky above White Harbor, where Bran had not yet resisted, there were three corpse dragons that exuded a strong smell, their eyes were blank, and their bodies were rotting with large pieces of minced flesh, but it was undeniable that these things looked more agile than the moving corpses outside the city, I don't know why.
Even if the huge body of the wyvern is not as big as Daenerys's three real dragons, it still brings endless pressure to White Harbor, and the civilians who are fleeing for their lives in the city are like headless flies at this time, desperately squeezing the boat, even if they push the crowd in front of them into the water.
And outside the city of White Harbor, at this time, more ghoul armies were gathered again, and this time they were not only human corpses, but also mixed with many animals, faintly looking, at the end of the endless ghoul army, there seemed to be many huge beasts that looked like cows, not cows, wolves, and wolves, and their bodies were shining with a dull luster, like monsters.
I don't know how the strangers gathered so many corpses overnight.
At this moment, there was another loud bang in the center of the ghoul army, corresponding to the fact that a piece of the towering tree forest outside the walls of White Harbor instantly collapsed, although it was quickly repaired by the vines twisted and climbed, but now it required the consumption of mana.
However, if Bran was on the city wall at this time, with his Green Prophet's magic, he should have seen very clearly what was attacking.
In the center of the countless corpses, there were three white-haired, frozen corpse-like creatures with crystal blue eyes and strange armor, staring motionlessly at the city in front of them.
Beside them, a small, strangely shaped device was placed, but the deep hole of the black hole and the cold and hideous appearance of the black steel that protruded from it could barely be guessed that it was a heavy artillery.
The strange ghost next to him turned his head slightly, and then the cannon immediately let out a charged hum again at its signal, and then with the sound of a popping fire, a huge cloud of plasma erupted down the muzzle.
Or perhaps...... This is not a cannon, but a plasma cannon, and if you look closely, it seems to have a similar manufacturing style to the small hand cannon often used by the Ace.
But in any case, White Harbor is already in danger in the face of the simultaneous attack of the Alien and the Corpse Dragon, and the appearance of this kind of thing has once again made the crumbling human city even worse, and now, whether White Harbor can hold on to Bran's magic is once again unknown......
Fierce wars have broken out in the far north, between humans and ghosts, between humans and monsters, and even between humans and humans, some people choose weakness and submit to death, and some people choose to fight and give birth to heroes.
For example, Bran, who was stationed in White Harbor at this time, such as the countless little people who were running under destruction and war, Sir Marlon, Daniel, and those nobles who were usually inconspicuous but just a member of the crowd, Sir Willis Mandalay.
They have chosen their own paths, some have already reached the end, and some have just started, but in any case, when the news snowflakes all the way south and passed to the hands of many cities and nobles in the south, Yi Huan knew that even if they were different from themselves, the war they faced was the same, and no one could escape this war.
