When Danny arrived, she discovered that Winterfell had become a huge construction site. Half a kilometer away from the city walls, the snow on the ground had been removed, revealing black soil that hadn't seen the light of day for many years.
Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the Castle and dug a four-meter wide and three-meter deep moat on the black soil below the city walls.
However, the moat didn't divert water from the White Blade River.
Outside Winterfell, there was a market called "Winterfell Town". The houses in the market had been dismantled. Wooden walls, wooden furniture, wooden roofs, and all flammable items were moved to the newly dug moat.
The moat would be a river of fire that would block the Ghouls.
"Ssss ga —"
"Ah, Megalosaurus, Megalosaurus, Dragon Queen is here!"
"Wah, three Megalosaurus, they're huge!"
"Long live Megalosaurus, long live Dragon Queen!"
"With Dragon Queen's help, we'll be able to defend Winterfell!"
Danny rode on her Dragon and circled the Winterfell construction site at a low altitude, causing unimaginable wild cheers.
Though she hadn't been to Winterfell before, many of the Winterfell residents had come from the Great Wall and the Wolfswood. They had seen Dragon Queen and Megalosaurus before, but they weren't so excited then.
Well, they were excited to see Megalosaurus for the first time, but their excitement was purely due to curiosity and not anticipation for Dragon Queen and Megalosaurus.
"Ssss ga —"
When a small team of silver-armored Unsullied trotted out of the Main Castle and formed a semicircle in the courtyard, Danny let Big Black land.
When Dragon Queen's Winged Dragon Knights came from Dragonstone Island, they brought along a 40-member team of Tile Steel Knights.
They weren't here to protect Winterfell. Their main purpose was to protect Dragon Queen in Winterfell.
In Winterfell, Danny had to have guards who were absolutely loyal to her.
It wasn't just Winterfell. In the future, she would bring a team of bodyguards with her whenever she went to any of the feudal vassals of the seven kingdoms.
Jon led Mandalay, Mormont, Savon, Glover, and the other nobles of the Northern Region out of the main castle and into the courtyard to welcome the Dragon Queen.
After exchanging greetings, they entered the main castle where the fireplace was burning.
Dragon Queen and Jon sat side by side. However, the Dragon Queen sat in the middle, while the King of the Northern Region sat to her left. Below him were dozens of Northern Region nobles.
Apart from the Grand Dukes, even the Knights and Knights had come.
"You've decided? Defend Winterfell? "Danny frowned.
"The Northern Region is our home! It's my duty to protect my home. "Wu said in a deep voice.
"Defend the Northern Territory, even if we have to die a thousand times!"
"That's right. We're from the North. Are we going to run away without even fighting a single battle?"
He didn't say that Winterfell was his home. He was supposed to defend Winterfell, but he said that he would defend the Northern Territory with his life.
The Northerners below were so excited that they began to howl.
"Did you know that the last Fireplace Castle has fallen?" Danny asked.
"So fast? We just received a request for help from Fireplace Castle, "Wu exclaimed.
Danny sighed. "Actually, it fell yesterday. Less than half an hour after the messenger crows left, the Anbo Family Castle was breached.
The entire castle, including the town outside, had more than 15,000 people. Within an hour, only 50 guards and 400 old, weak, women, and children were left. "
"Hiss …" He sucked in a breath of cold air, and the face behind the furry beard instantly turned as white as snow.
The excited Northern Region nobles in the hall seemed to have been splashed with a bucket of cold water. They stopped shouting and looked at each other in shock.
"The Anbo Family … was exterminated?" Jon's voice was as light as a feather.
Grand Jon wasn't here. He was one of the commanders of the Southern Expedition. A few months ago, he led 2,000 Northern Region cavalrymen to the valley with Erlu.
"If they hadn't met me. Unfortunately, I couldn't save everyone. "Danny's expression was solemn.
"Sigh, Fireplace fell too quickly. It's already a blessing from the gods that you were able to save the survivors."
Jon didn't understand the regret in Danny's words.
After a while, he said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I hope you can provide us with a batch of Dragon Crystal weapons."
"You're quick to understand that Fireplace's rapid fall was largely due to the weapons."
Danny gave Wu an odd look. After being the King of the Northern Region for half a year, he had gradually gained the calm temperament of a ruler.
"Do you know how many ghouls attacked Fireplace? How many Deviants were there?
About two Deviants led 40,000 ghouls. The Watchmen of the Eastern Sea saw hundreds of Deviants that day. Think about it, how many ghouls were there? "
"Ah, this … there were more than a million ghouls. An army of millions?" Lord Eel's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Oh gods, how is this possible? How can this be … How can we defeat them?"
"That's not right. Are there more than a million people outside the Great Wall and in the Northern Region?"
The nobles of the Northern Region were shocked and doubtful.
Jon said in a low voice, "It shouldn't be less than a million. Deviants not only resurrect humans who have just died, but also the corpses of beasts and corpses in tombs.
But don't be afraid. As long as we have suitable weapons, the ghouls are easier to deal with than the farmers.
At least the farmers have sickles and hoes, or at least a wooden club.
But 99% of the ghouls are empty-handed and don't have any armor.
The dead that crawl out of the tombs don't even have nails or teeth. If an armored knight stands there and lets them attack, it'll … "
At this point, he laughed awkwardly. "Maybe they'll all pounce on us and crush or suffocate us. “
"Hahaha …" A knight patted his heirloom armor and laughed heartily.
The atmosphere in the hall was much more relaxed.
"How many soldiers do we have in Winterfell?" Danny asked.
"After receiving news of the Great Wall's collapse, I immediately sent an order to the nobles of the Northern Region to assemble. Soldiers have been arriving in the past few days. Currently, there are about 13,000 of them. In a week's time, there will be close to 20,000."
"Probably less than a week." Danny sighed and agreed to help with the Dragon Crystal weapons.
The Dragon Queen's army stationed at Dragonstone Island was immediately equipped with Dragon Crystal weapons. They even had backup weapons. Hence, the weapons they had in reserve could be given away.
Anyway, she didn't lack money. If she didn't exchange the Dragon Crystal weapons for money, she could only give them away. At the very least, the Dragon Queen was a genuine deviant ghost. Giving him the weapons would be a good use.
"I hope you can kill 20,000 ghouls. Otherwise, you'll suffer a great loss."
"What do you mean?" Count Felint asked curiously.
The Dragon Queen looked at him calmly. "If we can't defend Winterfell, all of you will join the deviant ghost army."
"I won't." The short, bearded count's face reddened. "Even if I die, I won't surrender to those monsters. “
"Then you'll die in a very special way." Danny's mouth twitched.
"When we die, we'll become ghouls and be controlled by deviant ghosts. We'll become a part of their army," Jon said solemnly.
"Ah, so that's how it works. Won't the ghouls increase in number the more we kill?"
"If we kill enough, we should be able to recoup our losses," She-Bear Alisan muttered.
Jon turned to Danny and asked worriedly, "Can you transport 20,000 Dragon Crystal weapons in a short time?"
"Yes." Danny nodded. "You were once the commander of the Night Watch. Have you forgotten the specifications of the weapons on Dragonstone Island?"
"I almost forgot. We can first transport a batch of dragon teeth to make spears. At the very least, each person will have one spear. After that, we can use the extra teeth to make Dragontooth Daggers."
Dragontooth Daggers were obsidian serrated swords called "Marquavette". Sharp Dragon Crystal "teeth" were inserted on both sides of the "wood pulp", making them look like saws.
The Dragon Teeth inserted into the wood pulp could also be used to make spear tips or daggers.
Currently, Dragonstone Island only made sharp Dragon Teeth. The Night Watch of the Great Wall cut wood to forge the wood pulp and spear shafts inlaid with Dragon Teeth.
In this way, the cost of forging Dragon Crystal weapons on Dragonstone Island was reduced several times, but the efficiency was increased by dozens of times.
A blacksmith apprentice who had just learned how to forge could forge hundreds of Dragon Teeth in a day.
A Dragon Tooth weighed about 100 grams and weighed about 50 grams. 10,000 Dragon Teeth were only half a ton. A pterosaur could transport 30,000 to 40,000 Dragon Teeth.
Of course, Dragon Teeth were consumables similar to bullets.
Dragon Crystals were hard and brittle. They could be easily broken by hacking or stabbing.
For example, if the spear was careless and used too much force, it would accidentally stab the spine of a ghoul. The ghoul would certainly die, but the Dragon Tooth Spear would also be broken.
At that time, the spear would have to be replaced.
When the battle was over, he would replace the broken spearhead with a new one.
Compared to the spear, the Dragon Tooth Dagger was more powerful and durable. After all, there were at least 20 Dragon Teeth inserted into it.
Although the Dragon Tooth Dagger was powerful, it had high requirements for the user. The user had to be a strong man.
The Dragon Tooth Dagger was big and heavy. It weighed at least 5 kilograms. How many times could a normal person wield it?
Only young Knights who trained regularly and had strong physiques were the best candidates to wield the Dragon Tooth Dagger. Others might as well use the Dragon Tooth Spear.
After receiving the Dragon Queen's promise, the King of the Northern Region immediately ordered the construction of the moat to be stopped. All soldiers were to forge spear shafts and "oars".
Jon had seen too many Dragon Tooth Daggers, Spears, and Daggers at the Great Wall. He had also instructed the Night Watch to forge hundreds of thousands of Spears and tens of thousands of oars.
He was very familiar with this task. In just one afternoon, Winterfell had an additional 100,000 Spears and 5,000 oars.
Though they were crudely made, the quality of the wood was very good. They were definitely durable.
That night, before attending the banquet, Danny went to the warehouse to see the Spears and Oars. She pondered for a while and said, "These aren't enough."
"I only have 20,000 soldiers." Roland frowned.
"In a real battle, you'll realize how quickly weapons are depleted. A soldier will be equipped with at least 20 Spears and three Dragon Tooth Daggers. If you're a Knight, you'll need three times more! "
"Isn't that too exaggerated?"
"Ghouls aren't humans. They don't feel fatigue and can attack continuously. It's not impossible for them to last for ten days and ten nights. Even twenty spears might not be enough. We have to work in three shifts and take turns to fight," Dani said with a serious expression.
"Are there so many Dragon Crystals on Dragonstone Island?"
"I'll recruit a group of Blacksmiths and Miners to work overtime to ensure that we can mine at least two tons of Dragon Crystals a day."
"Two tons, that's forty thousand dragon teeth …" Jon said sincerely with a grateful expression. "Thank you, Your Majesty Daenerys!"
"Don't thank me. The more Dragon Crystal weapons you provide, the longer you can resist and the more Ghouls you can kill.
To be honest, I can't wait to continue transporting weapons for Winterfell.
It's best if you can last for a week, a month … If you can last for a year, it'll be a blessing from the Gods! "
Danny's expression and tone were very sincere.
Looking at the sincere Dragon Queen, Roland's face contorted.
