Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 262
c259 Impossible, absolutely impossible
Jack sent the news of the White Walkers approaching the Wall by raven to all parts of the south, and expressed his hope that the Iron Throne would surrender immediately and cooperate with him to integrate the power of all Westeros to resist the White Walkers.
The southern nobles were skeptical about the existence of the White Walkers, but the Iron Islands, Riverlands, Vale, and Dorne, which had already surrendered, responded one after another, while Highgarden and the Iron Islands chose to remain silent.
Jack did not expect the Iron Throne and Highgarden to respond to his call, but this was exactly what Jack wanted.
He released the news again, calling on other forces in Westeros to fight against the Iron Throne on the grounds that the Iron Throne did not care about the survival of mankind, and let the seagulls infiltrated in the Seven Kingdoms spread the news and guide public opinion.
After controlling public opinion, Jack did not immediately take action against the Iron Throne, but continued to improve the encirclement. Jack himself rode a dragon northward to see the situation of the White Walkers first.
There was only a buffer distance of a few kilometers between the Haunted Forest and the Great Wall. Later, after Jack came to power, he ordered the felling of trees to store firewood, and even ordered citizens to cut down trees. Now the distance between the Haunted Forest and the Great Wall is about 20 kilometers.
The reason why Jack did this was to find the White Walkers earlier, otherwise the zombies would hide in the Haunted Forest, and the sentinels on the Great Wall would be useless even if they were equipped with telescopes.
Korakshu flew rapidly in the air, and the high temperature on his body collided with the wind and snow in the North to produce a large amount of water mist.
Standing on the back of the dragon with water vapor, Jack felt that he was not riding a dragon, but flying in the clouds like an immortal.
Hiss–
The dragon roar resounded through the Black Castle again. Samwell, who was welcoming the reinforcements from the Free City, looked up and saw a giant dragon with steam all over his body landing on the castle square.
“Your Majesty is here, follow me to see Your Majesty.” Samwell said to Bjorn, the leader of the reinforcements.
Bjorn was excited. Jack didn’t take in the wildlings from the Wall just to waste resources. He never relaxed his efforts to tame the wildlings. Now Jack Poseidon has a very high status in the eyes of the citizens of Free City.
“Your Majesty, you are finally here. The White Walkers are coming!” Samwell came to Jack in a hurry.
“What are you panicking about? How long have you been the commander-in-chief? If the White Walkers attack the Wall now, will you pack up and run away?” Jack said with a frown.
Samwell looked embarrassed. As a person who had seen the White Walkers with his own eyes and was released by the White Walkers, his fear of the White Walkers was far greater than that of ordinary people.
“Your Majesty, don’t worry. We swear to defend the Wall to the death. We will never embarrass you.”
At this time, Bjorn immediately spoke out to express his determination. Samwell slightly widened his small eyes. You are a big-eyed Bjorn. You are cheating me like this, right?
“Very good. If everyone has your determination, then the White Walkers won’t be scary. Don’t you think so, Commander Sam?”
Samwell smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
Jack didn’t continue to point at Samwell. He knew Samwell, especially after Jon Snow’s death, Samwell had changed a lot.
Patting Samwell on the shoulder, Jack said earnestly:
“You still need to change your character. The position of the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall belongs to you, because only you, Samwell, can manage the overall situation.
Think about the look of disappointment on your father’s face when he sent you to the Great Wall. Your father is now leading 120,000 people in the Reach to fight against the Westerly.
And you are now the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall, or the commander-in-chief. You know how high your status is in the North.
What you should do now is to coordinate the overall situation. When I gather the power of the entire continent to resist the White Walkers, you need to coordinate the troops of 200,000 or 300,000. What you need is the courage and decisiveness to coordinate the overall situation.
I hope your father will be proud of you at that time, instead of laughing at me for being blind behind my back, okay?”
Jack’s words moved and shamed Samwell. Jack had promoted him to the commander-in-chief of the administrative department against all odds, which was equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Night’s Watch. Naturally, he didn’t want to disappoint Jack.
After Jack PUA Samwell, he held a meeting in the conference room, and all the executives of the Great Wall were present.
Everyone who entered the administration department of Castle Black would tremble under the gaze of Carax. Whether it was Carax or Drogon, they would be extremely vigilant about anyone who approached their riders.
The meeting went smoothly, and Jack quickly grasped the current situation of the Great Wall.
The Great Wall now has sufficient supplies. Not counting the reinforcements from the new land, the Great Wall itself has 5,400 people, and 6,200 people including logistics personnel.
This is a world of difference from the situation when facing the White Walkers in the original book, especially in terms of supplies. Now the Night’s Watch can eat bread, sausages and broth every day. It can be said that half of the investment in the entire North is spent on the army.
Now with the support of 3,000 new people and a large amount of supplies, the Great Wall has become a “landlord”, and in terms of supplies alone, it is not even inferior to the Northern Army going south.
Then Jack asked Samwell to increase the patrol force and wait patiently for support from the south.
Jack is not in a hurry to deal with the Night King, and the Night King is not in a hurry to go south.
Now the long night has not really covered the world, and the Night King’s power has not yet reached its peak.
Jack also wants to quell the rebellion of the Iron Throne first, and then use the opportunity to deal with the Night King to suppress some southern nobles.
After making sure that everything was normal at the Great Wall, Jack rode Korakshuu to the north. It was impossible for more than one million White Walkers to all be crowded in the Haunted Forest. The Night King’s army must be behind.
The cold wind was howling, and the temperature dropped as he went north. Korakshuu was flying at an altitude of 50 meters. Although there were big trees blocking the view, he could still see small groups of wights.
As Jack went deeper, a huge group of zombies soon came into view. From Jack’s perspective, there were tens of thousands of zombies, and they looked like the zombies in the Resident Evil.
Especially those wights stood there swaying and not moving, just like the zombies in zombie movies.
Such a huge group of zombies must be led by White Walkers. Jack was ready to kill a few White Walkers as a gift to the Night King.
Korakshuu quickly lowered the altitude, and the hot dragon flames spurted out. The group of wights below did not react at all, as if they were wood to be burned.
Jack raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that this group of nearly 100,000 wights had no White Walker leader?
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!” Jack muttered to himself. The Night King had more than a million wights and dozens of White Walkers under his command. It was impossible for him to leave such a large group of wights alone.
Just as Korakshuu was spewing dragon fire wantonly, an ice spear suddenly flew out of the bushes and rushed towards Korakshuu’s neck!
