night.
Temperature drops sharply.
Gary built a small igloo on the northern city wall and hid in it together with Daenerys to avoid the cold.
They waited all day, but Drogon still didn't come back.
Roose Bolton keeps sending troops to test, Gary's "empty city strategy" won't last long.
Daenerys's Magic is extremely talented, and has already begun to show combat effectiveness against Fire Magic. Her current single-player combat ability has far exceeded that of Daenerys Targaryen in the series, and she can at least face five to eight heavily armored knights alone.
It's just that this kind of combat effectiveness is not enough in a war involving thousands of people.
Gary walked out of the igloo, stood on the crenellations of the city wall, and glanced at the five thousand Bolton coalition forces surrounding Winterfell, "If Drogon doesn't come back tomorrow, we will abandon the city."
He also has a trump card, which is to lay a large ice field around Winterfell. But with this move alone, it will be difficult to defeat the Bolton coalition.
That was more than 5,000 horses, which was too many. Even if they were crowded together, shoulder to shoulder, the area of the ice field would not be enough.
Moreover, he only has one chance to activate Magic. If he cannot annihilate enough enemy troops and make the enemy feel scared, Winterfell will definitely fall.
However, he was confident.
Gary is very confident, thinking that even if Winterfell is defeated, he and Daenerys will still have the ability to lead the mothers out.
The only thing that upset him was that he called himself King in the North. If he was kicked out by the Bolton family just after retaking his castle, he would inevitably be looked down upon by the the North princes.
"Drogon... We can't let it be so loose anymore. We have to find an opportunity to discipline it properly."
Later in the night.
Gary and Daenerys were taking a nap in the igloo, and the nuns brought them a pot of hot soup.
There was no fire allowed in the igloo. Gary and I were shivering from the cold. The hot soup from the nuns was a life saver.
"Da da da..."
Before the hot soup was finished, Gary heard the sound of dense footsteps.
He put down the bowl and hurriedly got out of the igloo to check the situation outside the castle. Sure enough, the Bolton coalition began to attack the city. They carried countless bundles of firewood and piled them at the city gate.
Gary saw the intentions of these soldiers, they wanted to set fire to melt the ice.
He turned around and said to Daenerys, "Send the nuns back to the cellar and get them out before dawn to avoid being accidentally injured by my Ice Magic."
The nuns quickly waved their hands and refused, "Master Luke, let the madam stay here to help you, we can go back by ourselves."
After they finished speaking, they walked together and quickly left the city gate.
Seeing this, Gary handed Daenerys a set of bows and arrows, and said, "Go and guard the south gate. Remember, don't use Fire Magic. Just use bows and arrows to pretend to resist. Let them enter the city. The more people, the better. When all four city gates are burned, it will be the signal to retreat. Let's meet at Main Castle."
"Okay."
Daenerys was wearing plate armor and her movements were very stiff. She took the bow and arrow and ran towards the south gate with great effort.
Gary was guarding the north gate, using Ice Magic to condense bows and arrows, and poured out firepower on the Bolton soldiers below the city.
The penetrating power of ice arrows is extremely strong, and can always penetrate the shields and leather armor of soldiers, causing fatal damage.
Unfortunately, one arrow can only kill one Bolton soldier. No matter how fast Gary draws the bow, it is impossible to kill nearly a thousand soldiers in a short time.
The west gate and the east gate were in a state of emptying, and the two city gates were already blazing into the sky, igniting raging fires.
Over at the south gate, Daenerys and Archery are random arrows, which do not cause any casualties but serve as a source of harassment.
After a while, Flame also lit up at the south gate.
During this period, the archers of the Bolton coalition outside the city would also shoot a hail of arrows to cover the infantry rushing under the city wall.
Daenerys and Gary are both wearing Valyrian steel armor, so there is no serious problem.
Gary persisted for another ten minutes. Amidst a burst of thick smoke, the north city gate below him lit up with fire.
In the pitch-black night, these four beams of fire were particularly conspicuous, as if they were burning the sky red.
The ice that sealed the city gate melted very quickly under the heat of Flame.
The east gate and west gate that were first lit have melted half of the ice, revealing an ice cave about two meters deep.
At this time, the four city gates were all lit up with fire.
Gary and Daenerys, who were located at the north gate and south gate respectively, ran down the city gate at the same time.
They rode on the horses that had been prepared in advance and rushed to the center of Winterfell - Main Castle.
outside the city.
Frey and Karstark, who were attacking the city, saw that there was no resistance at the top of the city, and they both felt that they had a chance to win.
The soldiers carried bundles of firewood on their backs and kept adding firewood to the fire, making the fire grow bigger and bigger.
Main Castle in the city.
Gary and Daenerys met in the lobby on the first floor. Both of them ran into Main Castle wearing plate armor.
"Pfft... the way you look when running is so interesting."
The originally tense atmosphere was slightly relieved by Gary's cheerful laughter.
What made him laugh was Daenerys's weird running posture. Daenerys stiffly straightened his arms and ran with an "outer" pace. It looked particularly funny and made people laugh.
She said angrily, "God's Messenger-sama, please stop laughing, the crisis has not been resolved yet, what should we do next?"
Daenerys didn't want to run in this posture, but the ill-fitting plate armor limited her arm swing range, forcing her to make those movements as a last resort.
Gary lit a small fire in the hall and sat down on the ground with difficulty. "Next? Wait patiently. When they rush in, I will have a way to deal with them."
Daenerys took off his helmet and sat next to Gary. "Sir God's Messenger, there are so many people outside the city, are you sure you can repel them?"
Gary shook his head, "No, I'm just trying my best."
outside the city.
The fire burned for more than two hours, and the four city gates were broken down almost at the same time.
With excited shouts, the troops of Karstark and Frey rushed into Winterfell.
They searched every house, hoping to find Gary first. Because Roose·Boton promised that whoever killed Luke·Stark would get 50,000 Gold Dragon!
The ones rushing at the front were the cavalry from the two families. There were only three to four hundred of them, and their equipment was not very well-equipped. Their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the House Tyrell cavalry.
Not all of the remaining two thousand infantry entered the city. Most of them stayed outside the city. Only about five hundred people rushed into the city along with the cavalry.
Main Castle.
Gary heard the noise, he got up and came outside Main Castle, squatted down, and pressed his left hand against the ice on the ground.
Daenerys, who was sleeping, was also awakened. She came over and asked nervously, "Master God's Messenger, have they rushed in?"
It was her first time to experience war, and she felt a little anxious inside. Her hands were shaking from nervousness.
Gary remained silent, concentrating on feeling the vibrations coming from the ice.
The cavalry of the two families came from all directions, and they were getting closer and closer to Main Castle. The sharp-eyed cavalry spotted Main Castle, which was shining with fire.
"Stark is there!"
Gary's left eye glowed faintly green, and his left hand that was close to the ground instantly formed a thick layer of ice, and a large-scale Ice Magic quietly activated.
