Seeing that everyone was looking at him with anticipation, Erlu sighed regretfully and shook his head. "The deviant ghosts are smarter than we thought. They split into dozens of small teams and spread out in all directions. Then they entered the snow forest and the mountains.
I didn't dare to let the pterosaur lower its altitude. Soon, we lost all traces of the deviant ghost teams.
After that, I wondered if the deviant ghosts could find traces of the deviant ghost army from the East Sea Watch … Sigh, in the end, I didn't find anything. "
"Why is that? The deviant ghosts have already crossed the Great Wall. The sun has already been extinguished. Why are they still so cautious? "Perestan was puzzled.
"I think that the army of corpses surrounding Dark Castle is just a side army." Erlu's expression became very serious. "After crossing the Great Wall, the Night Watchers are no longer the main focus of the deviant ghosts."
The higher-ups of the Night Watchers all had ugly expressions, but no one refuted because Erlu's words could not be refuted.
"Where do you think the deviant ghosts' main force went?" Danny asked.
Erlu said in a low voice, "The group of dead people scattered their main force not because they were cautious, but because they had their own strategic plan.
The deviant ghost army's target is the castle of the Duke of the North. That place has the most people.
Kill all the living and turn them into an army of dead people.
There are many castles. Naturally, it's more efficient to split up and attack from multiple directions. That's why they don't have a main force.
If I were the deviant ghost king, I would choose this strategy. "
Danny smiled bitterly. This was also the situation she was most worried about.
"I saw many villagers in Dark Castle. Did they all escape from the deviant ghost village?" She asked.
"Those are the villagers, merchants and prostitutes from Mole Village. The Great Wall collapsed and we received the East Sea Watch Crow. While we strengthened our defenses, we also sent someone to inform the people of Mole Village.
Some came, some didn't. Those who didn't come have all become part of the deviant ghost army. "Chief Commander Erisa said.
Danny was silent.
Erlu was silent.
Other than the crackling sound of the fire in the fireplace, there was silence in the hall.
After a while, Professor Perestan rubbed his face and said tiredly, "Your Majesties, I wonder what plan you have for the current situation?"
"It's difficult!" Danny sighed.
"What's the situation at Slave's Bay now? Is the war over?" Erlu glanced at her and asked softly.
"The Alliance is now history." Danny's eyes turned into crescents as she smiled.
"Wow ~ ~" The knights and knights of Erlu below all exclaimed in unison, looking at the Dragon Queen with eyes full of shock and admiration.
With a complicated expression, Erlu asked, "How much power do you plan to invest in the Westeros?"
"Sir Barristan has formed a volunteer army at Slave Bay. The first batch of 400 elite Unsullied equipped with Tile Armor and Tile Weapons have been airlifted to Dragonstone Island by pterosaur in recent days."
"Gods, 400 sets of Tile Armor and Tile Weapons. There are only 300 Tile Swords in the entire Westeros."
Everyone exclaimed again, looking at Danny with eyes that seemed to emit endless golden light — the gold of a mountain of gold.
"Tile Armor …" Erlu looked down at the old black plate armor on his body and said hesitantly, "Aegon, I have a set of Tile Armor and Black Fire with me, do you want them?
Sansa asked me for them last time, but I didn't give them to her. Black Fire is the Targaryen clan sword … "
"I don't care about armor and swords, do whatever you want!" Danny's gaze turned sharp. "But I will remember the matter of you burning Aegon to death. When the Deviant Ghosts are eliminated, I will settle the score with you."
Erlu pursed his thin lips and said calmly, "I hope we can live until that day."
"Cough, cough." Blacksmith Tanner coughed a few times to break the awkward silence. "Your Majesty, 400 Tile Unsullied is a powerful force. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave them on Dragonstone Island?"
"That's where the problem lies," Danny said in a low voice. "The Deviant Ghosts are heading south. As long as the Seven Kingdoms aren't stupid, they will know that it's time to go all out.
But if the Great Wall collapses, where should we put our forces? "
One-armed Tanner opened his mouth and shook his head with a bitter smile. "Indeed, the Great Wall, as the first line of defense, is useless."
"We should build a second, third, and even fourth line of defense." Perestan was deep in thought.
"Where should we build a second line of defense? Winterfell? "A knight frowned and asked.
"Winterfell is undefended, and the castle is too small …" Perestan gritted his teeth. "I suggest we give up on the Northern Territory and put all our forces into the valley. We should strive to build the second Great Wall through the Blood Gate."
"Gods!" Bowen Marcy exclaimed.
"Professor Perestan, has your brain been eaten by the Deviant Ghosts? How can you say such disgraceful and stupid words?" A Northern knight was filled with righteous indignation and cursed loudly.
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Northern Territory. How can we give up?" The rest of the knights expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Caw, caw, caw —" The large red-eyed crow by the window flapped its wings and cawed loudly.
"Everyone, everyone, quiet down and listen to me." Perestan's nose was as red as a lamp. He pressed his hands down repeatedly. "When I said we should give up on the Northern Territory, I didn't mean we should give up on the people of the Northern Territory.
I don't know the reason for this unprecedented calamity.
But it's obvious that between us and the Deviant Ghosts, between the living and the dead, only one side can survive. The one who survives in the end will win.
So, we are not fighting for territory with the Deviant Ghosts, we are competing to see who can last longer! "
Everyone stopped cursing and cursing. They were all deep in thought.
Danny smiled and said, "If the land exists and the people are lost, the people and the land are lost. If the people exist and the land is lost, the people and the land are lost. Professor Perestan, you have seen through the nature of this war. "
"Your Majesty praises me too much." Perestan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "This is the most helpless choice.
Of the 17 castles on the Great Wall, only Dark Castle remained intact due to its walls. The rest of the castles have all fallen. Only the Night Watchers who climbed up the Great Wall survived.
The Night Watchers are the most elite and powerful force in the Northern Territory. You can imagine what will happen to the Northern Territory's Vassals who have exhausted their strength in the recent years of war. "
"The Deviant Ghosts have already passed the Great Wall. Is there enough time? There are so many people, where can they move to? "Sir Alisa frowned.
"Commander, have you studied the map of the Northern Territory carefully?" Perestan smiled proudly. "Ninety percent of the Northern Territory's nobles' castles are built by the river or the sea."
"Really?" Sir Alisa doubted.
"It's true." Bowen Maxi was pleasantly surprised. "I didn't realize it before. Now that I think about it, Stark's Winterfell, Mandalay's White Harbor, the Bolton Family's Terror Castle, even Savon City, Lonelytomb Village, Toron City …
Even the Amber Family, which is closest to the Great Wall, is only a few kilometers away from Mojiang. "
"Send a message to the Northern Territory's Vassals to immediately take a ship south to the valley and the Western Territory!" Danny said to the red-nosed old professor.
"Forget about going to the valley, but the Northern Territory and the Western Territory … Will Lannister take us in?" a Northern Territory Knight asked hesitantly.
"Moreover, the Northern Vassals might not listen to us." Sir Alisa sighed. "We have to let Stark know about this."
"I'll go to Winterfell later." Danny turned to Erlu. "You haven't said anything. What do you think?"
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Northern Territory. It's impossible to move all of them. So many people will starve to death if they go to the valley and the Western Territory empty-handed.
Why don't we solve the problem from the root?
Killing the Deviant Ghost King will end the long night! "
Erlu placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked at Danny with anticipation and hesitation. "Perhaps, if we find the Deviant Ghost King, we can kill it together."
"His Majesty Stannis has 30 pterosaurs and Her Majesty the Queen has two Megalosaurus. It's possible to kill the Deviant Ghost King. As long as we kill it, the long night will end! "Everyone was excited.
A smile appeared in Danny's large eyes. "If we kill the Deviant Ghost King together, who will the Iron Throne belong to?"
"Whoever puts in the most effort will get it." Erlu clenched his jaw and squeezed these words out from between his teeth.
"Your Majesty Danny Liz, it's already like this …" Perestan smiled bitterly.
"It's already like this, stop daydreaming!" Danny waved her hand and looked at the eager crowd in the hall. "Haven't you heard the story of the long night from Old Nan?
The last long night lasted for an entire generation!
This generation's Deviant Ghost King is even stronger. How can he be killed right after crossing the Great Wall? "
— You're a barefoot princess. You didn't even have food when you were young. Where did Old Nan come from?
Pockmarked Richard complained in his heart and pointed at the red sword at Erlu's waist. "His Majesty Stannis has the Red Sword of Heroes!
The last long night lasted for an entire generation because Asor and Ahai failed to forge the red sword multiple times.
Now, we don't need to waste time forging the sword. As long as we find the Deviant Ghost King, His Majesty Stannis can fulfill the ancient prophecy. "
Red Pomegranate, Red Nose and the others nodded. "That makes sense. We've all seen the power of the red sword. That sword — ugh!"
At the end, they were all stuck. After being stunned for a moment, they looked strangely between the Dragon Queen and the red sword.
— It seems that the red sword can only be used to its full potential in the hands of the Dragon Queen?
"His Majesty Stannis, you see, at this time …" Doctor Perestan muttered. "Why don't we give the sword to the most capable person?"
"Yes, yes." Alisa and the others nodded. "Her Majesty Danny Rize has experience in fighting Deviant Ghosts alone. Let her —"
"Shut up!" Richard shouted angrily. The pockmarks on his face were shining because of his anger.
"His Majesty Stannis is the reincarnation of Asor and Ahai. He is the savior in the Red God's prophecy. Only he has the destiny to kill the Deviant Ghost King!"
"At a time like this …" Perestan muttered softly.
Looking at Erlu's gloomy face, his voice became softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
"Since you have the confidence to end the long night with the red sword, why did you come to me?" Danny asked curiously.
Erlu's expression changed. After hesitating for a while, he said bitterly, "Melisandre told me that I need a magic dragon to fulfill the Asha prophecy.
I don't want your dragon. Even if I wanted it, you wouldn't give it to me.
Cooperate with me and create a chance for me to challenge the Deviant Ghost King. I will kill it myself!
If I fail, you can pick up my sword and continue — "
"Your Majesty, you are the child of prophecy. You will never fail!" Richard's face turned red as he shouted.
"At this time, prepare for the worst!" Erlu shook his head.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Danny looked at Erlu and reminded him. "I can tell you clearly that with just the red sword, your chances of success are very low."
"I am Robert's only heir and the rightful king of the Seven Kingdoms. Protecting the Westeros is my responsibility. It is also the mission I have been waiting for all these years!" Erlu said firmly.
Danny looked at him deeply and nodded. "Okay, I agree."
"What?" Erlu was in disbelief.
"I don't like you. This is the truth. But at this time … Go back and bring Aegon's armor and Melisandre here. With them, your chances of winning will increase by ten times. "
"Ten times?" Erlu gritted his teeth. "Did I only have a ten percent chance of defeating the Deviant Ghost King before?"
"No. With the Tile Steel Armor and Melisandre fighting for you, you barely had a ten percent chance of surviving. The idea is to survive, not to kill the Deviant Ghost King. "
"Crack, crack, crack …" Erlu ground his teeth.
