Castle Black east, four leagues.

A cavalry force of 1,000 men and an infantry force of 500 men were slowly moving toward the west in the snow.

These cavalrymen carried the flags of many Stormlands nobles, the front flag of which was the "deer" flag of Baila Theon.

Behind Baila's Theon army, there is also a Night's Watch army of two hundred people. They are Night's Watch of the Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, in After Stannis defeated a thousand Wildlings outside the city for them, he chose to follow Stannis's cavalry to support Castle Black.

Stannis was riding in the middle of the army, flanked by "Onion Knight" Davos Seaworth, and Red Priestess Melisandre.

Melisandre is the sacrifice of Lord of Light, who came from the distant land of Asshai. She firmly believes that Stannis is the prince who can defeat Cold God in the prophecy, so she has been assisting him.

In the endless Haunted Forest, countless animals were frightened away by the army. However, there was an eagle, uncharacteristically perched on the treetop, sizing up the advancing cavalry army.

Melisandre was keenly aware of the Magic fluctuations in the air, and she glanced at the eagle.

Just at this glance, the eagle suddenly trembled, then exhaled a stream of black smoke from its beak, fell down the tree, and died in the snow.

If someone cuts open the eagle's body at this time, he will find that all its internal organs are burnt.

"Your Majesty." Melisandre called Stannis in front of him.

Stannis turned around, "What's wrong? Did you see any signs again?"

Melisandre shook his head, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the prophecy I told you? During this trip to Wall, you will encounter an old enemy. That is a White Wolf. Only by killing him can you obtain the legendary Lightbringer."

Stannis remembered this prophecy, and he added, "I remember you also said that that White Wolf is growing and will kill me one day."

Melisandre's previous prophecies have come true one by one, and Stannis now has no doubt about her.

"Onion Knight" Davos This is the first time Seaworth heard this prophecy, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, White Wolf is the nickname of Luke·Stark."

Stannis's eyes were filled with contempt, "Any traitor who dares to covet Iron Throne, no matter if he is White Wolf or not, I will kill him."

"Onion Knight" Davos Seaworth is loyal to the Lord and suggested. "Then your Majesty must hurry up. When he unifies the North, we will be trapped here."

Stannis is also anxious. He plans to defeat the Wildlings army, then recruit them, and then fight to the death with Luke·Stark of Winterfell.

"Speed up the march! Be sure to get to Castle Black before dark!"

The cold weather in the north caused constant problems for his cavalry. Horses that were not adapted to the climate kept falling ill, and their numbers continued to decrease.

There were originally 1,500 cavalry before departure, but now only 1,000 were left. Those 500 had been forced to become infantry.

"Woo!"

A heavy horn sound woke up Gary.

He dismissed the ice and snow bed, stood up and began to put on his plate armor.

Ygritte and Gilly also came to help, and they quickly put on the plate armor and helmet for Gary.

"Is Mance Rayder attacking the city?" Ygritte asked with a somewhat complicated mood.

Gary was not sure, "It should be. Just stay here, I'll go out and take a look."

He held Falling Plum around his waist and pushed the door open.

When going downstairs, Gary happened to bump into Jon.

"Luke, Wildlings are attacking the city. This time it is a general attack, and all the Wildlings troops have come out Haunted Forest!"

Gary's face was solemn, and his cavalry troops had not yet arrived at Castle Black. It was still unknown whether he and Drogon alone, plus dozens of wounded Night's Watch, could withstand Mance Rayder's tens of thousands of Wildlings troops.

"Go to Wall first."

The two quickly left the King's Tower, and under the gaze of many Night's Watch, climbed the elevator and arrived at the top of the Wall.

Above Wall, there were more than twenty Night's Watch, Edd and Grenn among them. The remaining fifty or so people stayed below and did not come up.

The commander on Wall was a bald man. He kept chattering until he saw Gary coming over, and then he became quiet.

Gary glanced at the bald head. I didn't see this character in Night's Watch yesterday. Where did he come from? However, why does he feel familiar? Have I seen him somewhere?

The situation was urgent and he couldn't let him think too much.

Gary came to the edge of Wall and looked down.

The originally white snow had now turned into an unusually deep black, with Wildlings running underneath.

There are also dense Wildlings crawling on the side of the Wall, like gangrene attached to the bone, it looks extremely scary.

The swinging scythe on the Wall mountain swung back and forth several times, harvesting the lives of thousands of Wildlings. But it was still to no avail, the number of Wildlings was too much.

Night's Watch's bow and arrow reserves are running low, and they are using the remaining bows and arrows to attack the Wildlings army below.

Wildlings below also wanted to fight back, but the Wall was too high and their arrows couldn't reach them at all.

Just then,

More than a hundred Giants appeared in the finale. They held huge bows and arrows, aiming at the top of Wall, pouring out firepower.

The giant arrows shot by Giants are extremely powerful, just like the giant crossbow on Wall.

However, there is a world of difference in the speed of continuous fire between the two. Giants can fire arrows one after another, but the giant crossbow of Wall requires manpower to pull the bowstring, and its firing speed is extremely slow.

"Bang!"

A giant crossbow that had not yet been fired was destroyed by a giant arrow, and sawdust and ice flew everywhere.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

There was a violent vibration above Wall, and hundreds of giant arrows hit the ice of Wall, causing a small-scale landslide.

While frightening many Night's Watchs, it also caused misery to many Wildlingss who were climbing the wall.

The Wildlingss on the high wall could be said to have been accidentally injured by our own people. Due to the vibration and falling ice, they fell one after another, causing numerous casualties.

The bald commander shouted out loud, "Wall is going to collapse! Run!"

He took the lead and rushed into the elevator at the rear. He quickly closed the door and went down alone without caring about the lives of others.

The other Night's Watch were also scared to death. Now the commanders have run away and they have lost their will to fight.

Seeing this, Gary shouted loudly, "Don't listen to that idiot! There are Magic foundation stones inside Wall, which cannot collapse! What is damaged by the arrow now is only the surface ice layer, don't panic!"

Jon also helped, "We still have Dragon! The outcome is still unknown!"

Gary is not very optimistic. Giants's arrows already have the power of the dragon-hunting crossbow in the series. If he lets Drogon go out to attack Wildlings's army at this time, he will probably be shot into pieces by Giants.

"Damn it! If only I had built Drogon's Valyrian steel body armor before I came here!"
