Chapter 258: Ghosts in the Haunted Forest
The Northern Wall responded quickly under Samwell's command, and the patrol force of the entire Wall increased threefold.
The Black Knights were sent to patrol the eighteen castles under the Great Wall. Samwell had to ensure that he could always be informed of the situation of the eighteen castles at the first time.
New land added.
This was originally land awarded to the Night's Watch by a Targaryen. Later, it was allocated by Jack to the free people outside the Wall for settlement. Under Jack's guidance, the wildlings outside the Wall began to build cities, reclaim land, and learn how to farm and graze.
Although the free people still needed to buy clothes and ironware in the south, at least they learned how to farm and herd, which was much better than living a life of hunger and cold outside the Great Wall.
There are no longer any "liberal" voices among them. Instead, they feel that the current life is the life that real free people should live.
Generally speaking, "personal freedom" is not as important as "freedom of food, clothing, housing and transportation"!
Liberty City, the administrative center.
Mance Rayder looked at the letter in his hand with a solemn expression. As the commander who summoned the wildlings to move south, he knew only too well the reasons why they moved south.
White Walker!
This kind of story that old ladies used to scare children has now become a reality. Not to mention the army of more than one million zombies, only tens of thousands of zombies forced 100,000 savages to go south to attack the Great Wall.
Thinking of the terrifying number of wights, Mance Rayder understood that the Wall had become the last hope. Once the Night King's army of wights broke through the Wall, the consequences would be disastrous.
Mance Rayder immediately gave orders and summoned three thousand young and strong men from Liberty City. He also sent people to the giant town north of Liberty City to recruit war giants from the giant tribe.
That afternoon, three thousand young men and ten fully armed giants gathered at the north gate of Liberty City.
Mance Rayder looked at the three thousand young men and ten war giants riding mammoths in front of him. He shouted:
"I, Mance Rayder, have never regretted submitting to His Majesty the Sea King!
His Majesty the Sea King did not deceive me. I received cotton clothes and bedding for the winter, fresh milk and bread, a warm house with coal briquettes, government-subsidized chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and fair and just legal protection.
As legal citizens of the northern province, we have received all the equal treatment we deserve. The free people outside the Wall have become a thing of the past, and free legal citizens are what we are now called.
But while enjoying equal rights and treatment, we should also shoulder corresponding responsibilities. I don't want to hear people in the North look down on us.
The things that drove us to the south of the Great Wall have now arrived under the Great Wall, and they are eyeing our new life covetously.
I know you are still afraid, and I am afraid of them too, because they are demons.
However, what I am more afraid of is that the Liberty City that was built with great effort will only be a flash in the pan.
Look back at this beautiful city, look at the children playing carefree on the streets, look at the old people dozing off at the doorsteps.
Your wives, children and the elderly are all here, and they still dream of a winter without hunger, cold and death.
We cannot be afraid, and we cannot retreat. If we retreat, our country will be destroyed and our race will be extinct. Those things will not accept surrender or prisoners.
So we have to go north to the Great Wall and save the people in the name of the Sea King!"
"Go north to the Great Wall and save the people!"
Mance Rayder waved his hand and said, "Go north to the Wall and save the people!"
After the team heading north left, Mance Rayder returned to his office, still worried.
There were more than one million fearless zombies. He couldn't imagine the scene when they charged. It must be a scene more horrible than hell.
"The flame of the true dragon will definitely destroy those monsters, definitely!" Mance Rayder took out a book and began to read it.
The words "Selected Thoughts of Poseidon" shone brightly on the book, and finally Mance Rayder put down the book in his hand.
The newly added land serves as an autonomous region of the Northern Province, and all affairs are under the charge of Mance Rayder.
Mance felt that the North had reached a life-or-death moment, and he had to concentrate his efforts on doing something big! He
did it as soon as he thought of it. Mance Rayder immediately summoned all the officials of Free City to discuss supporting the Wall.
-
Silor.
As the capital of the Northern Province, Silor has developed very rapidly and has become the largest and most populous city in the North.
Jack received a letter from the Wall, and he was mentally prepared for it.
It is now 303 AC, and there is still one year left before the Long Night estimated by the Citadel to arrive. The Citadel estimates that the Long Night will cover Westeros as early as 305 AC, and no later than 307 AC.
There are already signs of a long night coming in the North. The daytime is only six hours long, and this time is constantly shrinking.
According to Jack's prediction, the entire North will officially enter a long night at the end of the year, and the daylight hours in the South will be greatly reduced.
Until 305 AC, all of Westeros will be shrouded in a long night.
After the long night comes, Essos will also fall into a long night, but the situation in Essos will be better and the temperature will not be as low as Westeros.
Jack has made sufficient preparations to deal with what may be the longest night in history.
Especially the invention of coal briquettes and coal stoves, combined with dried fish made from petroleum fish, made this long night far less terrifying.
The only thing to worry about may be the problem of food reserves, but Jack is also purchasing large quantities of food from all over the world.
Combined with the grain produced by the Laza Plain grain production base, it should be enough.
Now Jack is ready for the long night, but he still has to destroy the Night King, only then can he rest assured.
As one of the top supernatural beings in the Game of Thrones world, the Night King is quite powerful.
Not to mention that its physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people, the undead magic and ice magic it possesses alone are not something that ordinary people can resist.
Judging from the level of life alone, the Night King, the Green Prophet and Poseidon are all demigod-level supernatural beings, while Korakshu is an ordinary supernatural being.
However, there are differences in combat effectiveness among supernatural creatures of the same level. For example, the Night King and the Green Prophet. Even though Korakshu is a minor, he can still compete with them.
Moreover, for a demigod like the Green Prophet who is not good at fighting, once his true form is discovered by Korakshu, he is basically doomed to die.
As for Poseidon, even without the help of the power of faith, Poseidon's atomic breath alone can kill the Night King.
But there is a very critical question, which is how to locate the whereabouts of the Night King.
The Night King is a highly intelligent creature. Once Poseidon appears, the Night King will definitely not confront Poseidon head-on.
If the Night King is allowed to escape to the Far North, he, who has the ability to resurrect the dead, will be a huge trouble.
So Jack planned a "Battle of Hardhome", using himself as bait to lure the Night King to Hardhome, and then cooperate with Caraxeus and Poseidon to kill the Night King.
By the way, you can also look for the traces of the Green Prophet.

Chapter 259 Impossible, Absolutely Impossible
Jack sent the news that the White Walkers were at 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 already surrendered Iron Islands, Riverlands, Vale, and Dorne all responded, while Highgarden and the Iron Islands chose to remain silent.
Jack didn't expect the Iron Throne and Highgarden to respond to his call, but this was exactly what Jack wanted.
He once again released the news, calling on other forces in Westeros to fight against the Iron Throne on the grounds that the Iron Throne disregarded the life and death of mankind, and let the seagulls that infiltrated 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 complete the encirclement. Jack himself rode his dragon north to check out the situation of the White Walkers first.
Originally, there was only a buffer distance of a few kilometers between the Ghost 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, there is a distance of about 20 kilometers between the Ghost Forest and the Great Wall.
The reason why Jack did this was to be able to discover the White Walkers earlier. Otherwise, the zombies would be hiding in the Haunted Forest, and it would be useless even if the sentinels on the Great Wall were equipped with telescopes.
Korakshu was flying rapidly in the air, and the high temperature of his body surface collided with the wind and snow in the north, producing a large amount of water mist.
Jack, standing on the dragon's back using water vapor, felt that he was not riding a dragon, but flying in the clouds like an immortal cultivator.
Hiss——
The roar of a dragon resounded throughout the Black Castle again. Samwell, who was welcoming the reinforcements from the Free City, looked up and saw a giant dragon with steam coming out of its body landing in the castle square.
"His Majesty is here. Come with me to see His Majesty." Samwell said to Bjorn, the leader of the reinforcements.
Bjorn looked excited. Jack did not take in the wildlings from outside the Wall just to waste resources. He never relaxed his efforts to domesticate the wildlings' minds. Now Jack Poseidon has a very high status in the eyes of the citizens of Liberty City.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here. The White Walkers are coming!" Samwell came to Jack in a hurry.
"Why are you panicking? 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 someone who had seen the White Walkers with his own eyes and was released by them, his fear of the White Walkers was far greater than that of ordinary people.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will defend the Great Wall to the death, and we will never embarrass you."
At this time, Bjorn immediately spoke out to express his determination. Samwell slightly widened his eyes. You are so good, Bjorn with thick eyebrows and big eyes. You are trying to trick me like this, right?
"Very good. If everyone has your determination, then the White Walkers will not be so scary. Don't you think so, Commander Sam?"
Samwell smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
Jack didn't continue to point to 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 personality. The position of the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall belongs to you, because only you, Samwell, have the ability to control 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 from the River Reach to fight against the Westerlands.
And you are now the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall, to put it bluntly, the commander-in-chief. You know how high your status is in the North.
What you should do at this time is to coordinate the overall situation. When I gather the strength of the entire continent to resist the White Walkers, two or three hundred thousand troops need you to coordinate and coordinate them. What you need is the courage and decisiveness to coordinate the overall situation.
I hope your father will be proud of you by then, instead of laughing at me for being blind behind my back, okay?"
Jack's words moved Samwell and made him ashamed. 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, Samwell didn't want to let Jack down.
After Jack PUA'd Samwell, he convened a meeting in the conference room, and all the executives of Great Wall were present.
Everyone who enters the administrative department of Castle Black will go in tremblingly under the gaze of Carax. Whether it is Carax or Drogon, they will be extremely vigilant about anyone who approaches 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 new places, the Great Wall itself has 5,400 people, and including logistics personnel, there are a total of 6,200 people.
This is a huge 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 additional support of 3,000 people and a large amount of supplies, the Great Wall has become a "rich landlord". In terms of supplies alone, it is not inferior to the Northern Border Army heading south.
Jack then asked Samwell to increase the patrol force and wait patiently for support from the south.
Jack is in no hurry to deal with the Night King, and similarly, the Night King is in no hurry to go south.
Now the long night has not yet truly enveloped the world, and the Night King's power has not yet reached its peak.
Jack also wanted to quell the rebellion on 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 Wall, Jack rode Korakshuu to fly north. It was impossible for more than one million White Walkers to be crowded in the Haunted Forest. The Night King's large army must be behind.
The cold wind was howling, and the temperature dropped as they went north. Korakshu was flying at an altitude of fifty meters. Although there were large trees blocking his view, he could still see small groups of zombie troops.
As Jack went deeper, a huge horde of zombies soon came into view. There were tens of thousands of zombies. From Jack's perspective, it suddenly gave him a sense of déjà vu of the Resident Evil.
Especially those zombies who were standing there swaying and not moving, they looked no different from the zombies in zombie movies.
Such a large group of zombies must be led by White Walkers. Jack plans to kill a few White Walkers as a gift to the Night King.
Korakshu quickly lowered the altitude and spurted out blazing dragon flames. The group of zombies below showed no reaction at all, as if they were wood waiting to be burned.
Jack raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that this group of nearly 100,000 wights didn't have a 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 Korakshu was spewing dragon fire wantonly, an ice spear suddenly flew out from the bushes and rushed towards Korakshu's neck!
