The bald elder and his warriors blocked the city gate. A chaotic roar, mingled with the wind and snow, echoed from the direction of the forest. The warriors instinctively gripped their weapons tighter. Just then, the rangers reached the city wall, shouting:

"Light the torches! Bring all the torches over! Ghouls are easy to set on fire!"

He then placed the leather bags containing incendiary bombs and explosive bombs at his feet, took out two incendiary bombs, and handed one to the savage next to him.

He picked one up, drew the dagger from his waist, cut a piece off the savage's tattered fur coat, opened the incendiary bomb bottle, and stuffed it into the mouth of the bottle.

The savage holding the incendiary bomb looked at the ranger who had stabbed him in the fur coat right away, and was about to say something when he heard the ranger shout:

"What are you standing there for? Waiting for the ghoul to pull the chamber pot off your neck? Do it my way!"

As he spoke, he took out more incendiary bombs from the bag. This time, instead of cutting the savage's fur coat, he shaved off a large piece from the wool padding on his own waist belt, broke it up, and stuffed it into the mouth of the incendiary bomb.

"Oh! Oh, oh!"

The savages realized what was happening and started slashing themselves with their knives. By the time the rangers had filled the incendiary bombs, the ghouls rushed up, and the savages and rangers, armed with bows and arrows, began firing.

At this moment, the ranger who had spoken picked up the incendiary bomb with the bottle cap sealed, and said to the savage, "Light the bottle and throw it at the ghouls, wherever there are the most!"

As he spoke, he turned the incendiary bomb upside down and shook it, lit the mouth of the bottle on a torch, and threw it into the charging horde of ghouls.

*Snap!* The incendiary bomb shattered on the ghoul's body, and flames instantly engulfed its entire form. The surrounding ghouls, seeing the fire, chose to avoid it or walk around the burning area.

Everyone on the wooden city wall witnessed the power of the incendiary bombs and followed the example of the rangers around them, lighting their own and throwing them out.

In an instant, the open space a few meters away from the wall was slowly covered by flames. The ghouls began to attack from both sides, and the rangers around them began to move and fight.

Just then, a long, drawn-out wolf howl echoed from the cliff!

Ouch! ! ! ! ! !

Jon Snow and Colin looked up and saw four figures on horseback standing on the cliff, their blue eyes expressionless as they looked down at the crowd. One of the White Walkers waved his hand forward, and several huge, disheveled, flesh-and-bones wights appeared on the cliff, surrounded by a dense swarm of humanoid wights.

The White Walker waved his hand downwards, and the direwolf wights jumped directly down the cliff. Countless other wights followed suit, cascading down the cliff face in layers.

Seeing the direwolf ghouls charging towards them, Jon Snow shouted, "Explosive Bomb!"

Several rangers who were already prepared ignited explosive bombs and hurled them forcefully towards the ghoul horde. The direwolf ghouls did not dodge the bombs and continued running forward.

boom!

Then they saw the bombs that had been thrown out start exploding one after another, and only a few of the Icefield Wolf ghouls that were rushing towards the group managed to escape the explosions and run over.

The rangers, who were ready, crouched down with their swords pointed upwards as the direwolf ghouls pounced. As the direwolf ghouls leaped forward, they took two steps forward, raised their greatswords, and slashed across the direwolf's waist and neck.

The wolf heads fell to the ground, and two of them were cut in half at the waist and lay motionless.

The ghouls that had rolled down the cliff behind them began to rise and charge. The rangers lit several incendiary bombs and threw them into the open spaces on the left and right sides in front of them, allowing the ghouls to rush out from the openings left by the group.

At that moment, Jon Snow felt a tremor around him and saw the giant "Wanwan" walk up behind him, pick up a bomb, and ask, "How... do I use this?"

The simple, honest voice brought a smile to Jon Snow's lips. Jon Snow picked up a bomb, aimed it at the torch of the ranger holding a torch, and watched as the fuse was lit. Then Jon Snow threw it into the opening left by the group!

With a loud bang, the ghouls that had just rushed out from around the entrance were blown to pieces. When the giant Wangwang saw this, he also revealed a very ugly smile, pinched the explosive bomb between two fingers, and lit the fuse on the torch.

As the fuse began to burn, Wangwang stood up and threw the explosive bomb forcefully toward the cliff edge where the ghouls had jumped down. The layers of ghouls who had not yet stood up were greeted with a great treasure!

boom!

Like a shower of flowers, the ghouls were blasted apart, their arms and legs flying everywhere. Two heads roared as they landed not far from the group, rolled a couple of times, and then fell silent.

Seeing Wangwang's performance, the Rangers raised their hands and shouted "Yay!"

Seeing this, Jon Snow patted Wangwang's waist and shouted to the Rangers:

"Bring two more bags of explosive bombs!"

The bombs that still had some weight in the hands of the others were like small stones in the hands of the giant. The three rangers quickly handed their bags of more than a dozen bombs to Wangwang's feet.

A mischievous person even brought a long pole, tied some greaseproof cloth to it, lit it, and handed it to Wangwang. Wangwang chuckled as he took the long pole and torch, picked up a bomb from the ground, and began acting like Garp! (Garp, Luffy's grandfather, throwing bombs with his bare hands while chasing Luffy in One Piece).

The rangers began to expand the firing line so that the savage women and children in the rear could evacuate as quickly as possible. At this moment, a ranger ran from the direction of the city wall and said to Colin:

"They've almost run out of incendiary bombs over there, and they haven't used many high-explosive bombs for fear of shattering the walls. They can't hold out much longer!"

"Understood!" Colin replied calmly, and as he spoke, he raised his bow and shot a ghoul that had been pushed aside by the shockwave of a bomb and was running through a gap.

After Colin finished shooting the arrow, he shouted, "Retreat step by step, head back the way the horses came, block the road to the sea, and lure the ghouls to our side!"

As they were talking, several screams came from the direction of the elder savage's tent. The part of the tent that was on fire suddenly tore open, and the bald elder who had spoken to Colin earlier was pierced through the body by a long ice sword. He slowly retreated to a short distance in front of the group.

The White Walker kicked the frozen, bald elder off his sword and charged toward the Rangers. Several Rangers drew their swords and rushed forward. The White Walker raised his sword to slash at one of the Rangers, who raised his greatsword to block. Everyone saw the greatsword in the Ranger's hand shatter into pieces with a bang, as if ice had been broken.

The White Walker's ice sword continued its downward thrust, slashing diagonally across the ranger's chest. The ranger immediately fell backward to the ground, motionless.

Jon Snow immediately drew his claws and charged forward. He remembered that Bai Ze had said that only Valyrian steel swords or the finest swords he had given him could fight against the White Walkers' ice swords.

"You all step back!" Jon Snow charged through the gap between the two rangers. The White Walkers saw Jon Snow charging forward and drew their swords to strike, but Jon Snow raised his sword to block them.

Ding!

The two swords clashed, but Jon Snow's Valyrian steel sword did not shatter, blocking the White Walker's ice sword. The White Walker's face showed a hint of shock and confusion, and the White Walker and Jon Snow exchanged a glance.

The White Walker raised his sword and swung again, but Jon Snow quickly blocked the White Walker's ice sword and slashed down at the White Walker, instantly shattering him into ice shards!

Colin, seeing Jon Snow slay the White Walker, also smiled excitedly and laughed loudly:

"The White Walkers have been dealt with by Jon Snow! The women and children have been evacuated and are gradually retreating in the direction they came from!"

Upon hearing Colin's voice, everyone excitedly shouted back:

"Yes!"

Most of the savages were taken away by boat. Giant Wangwang finished throwing the bombs the rangers had given him, looked at the empty leather bag with a hint of satisfaction, ran forward a couple of steps, pulled up a burning pillar from the ground, hugged it to his chest and started his rampage. The ghouls that walked up to Wangwang were smashed and burned.

Seeing everyone starting to retreat, the ranger shouted to Wangwang, "Big guy, come with us!"

Upon hearing the Rangers' voices, Jon Snow began running in the direction they were retreating. As he ran, he saw that the other White Walkers on the mountain had already crossed the line of fire and were standing in front of it.

The corpses of those killed by the horde of wights flickered in and out of the fire. Then, the Night King raised his hands. Moments later, all the dead men's eyes turned blue, and they stood up. The Night King watched the retreating crowd, his face expressionless.

Jon Snow watched as the rangers and wildlings resurrected by the Night King sat on his horse, panting, his eyes coldly fixed on the horde of wights and the direction of the Night King.

Colin rode up and took a look, patted Jon Snow on the shoulder, and the two turned their horses around and left Hardhome.

 …

When the raven arrived at Winterfell, it was dinnertime, and Maester Luwin was eating. The servant tending the raven quickly brought it to the Maester, saying:

"Scholar! A message from the Great Wall!"

Maester Luwin hurriedly took the letter, knowing that a letter from the Great Wall at this time was definitely not a message of reassurance.

Bang!

Startled by the contents of the letter, Maester Luwin stood up from his chair, slapped his rice bowl over, and knocked over his chair as he stood up.

The scholar pushed aside the messenger and hurried towards the room where the king and his noble ministers were dining. Without knocking, he pushed open the door and shouted:

"The Wildling King's camp was slaughtered by the White Walkers, who are now advancing towards Hardpoint!"

"Colin the One-Handed has led the Rangers to reinforce Hardhome, and Lord Commander-in-Chief Georgio Mormont has also sent Jon Snow with reinforcements and the Eastwatch-the-Sea fleet to Hardhome!"

His Majesty Robert and Duke Ned exchanged a glance during their meal, and Robert said:

"Wow, that's fast! Looks like we need to get going too!"

As he spoke, he put down his knife and fork, stood up, and everyone in the hall followed suit.

Robert looked at the crowd and said:

"We're here for only one purpose: to kill those sons of bitches!"

Anyone who's scared can leave Winterfell now. The snowstorms and White Walkers of the North have no pity for cowards!

Ned stood beside Robert, glanced at the crowd, and drew his Valyrian steel sword—Icebreaker.

"Cut them down!"

Those present either drew their swords or raised their guns.

"Cut them down!"

Bai Ze, who was at the tavern, also received the news and quickly told Tyrion and Brienne to bring out all the puppets they had prepared. It seemed that they would have to train the wights directly after reaching the Wall!

Just then, the tavern door was pushed open, and Jori and Sir Barristan rushed in with their men. Jori bowed to me and said:

"Lord Bai Ze, His Majesty has sent Sir Barristan and me to receive the divinely created puppets that are to be taken away!"

"Everything's ready. Let's set off with the doll!"

Bai Ze patted the box containing the dolls beside him, waved for the guards to come in and load the box onto the carriage, and Jori and Sir Barristan also helped to move it.

After sending Celine to Wolfsburg to keep Arya and Sansa company, Bai Ze, along with Xiao Meng, Tyrion, and Brienne, caught up with the main group that had already packed their things and were about to set off.

Bai Ze caught up with King Robert and Ned at the very front of the main force. Seeing the serious expressions on Robert and Ned's faces, Bai Ze smiled and said:

"Relax, we have made the most thorough preparations!"

Then we'll use incendiary and explosive bombs to clear the way, and let Christian Ronaldo and Zamorana work with the Wall defenders to clear out the ghouls!

Stannis also crafted all the dragonglass he found on Dragonstone into spears and bows, sending his elite troops, equipped with Valyrian steel swords and the finest swords, to deal with the last of the White Walkers!

I refuse to believe these monstrous things can't possibly have any tricks up their sleeves!

Robert sighed and said, "Let's hope it goes as we expect!"

Then Robert suddenly thought, "Any news of Daenerys Targaryen or the others?"

Ned Stark then said:

“I’ve been keeping Varys on the other side of the sea, saying that the last known trace of Daenerys was in the Slaver’s Bay area. Even if she receives the news and comes with her dragons, it will take her a long time!”

After listening to Ned's words, Robert continued:

"Then let's stop hoping she'll come. It's the same whether she comes or not. Let's protect our own home!"

......

At this moment, Bai Ze spoke to Xiao Meng through telepathy:

"Xiao Meng, can Ya Lei Jia still fly in this weather?"

Because of the White Walkers, the further north you go in the North, the more frequent the snowstorms become, and the more blurred the vision becomes under the cover of clouds. In the original series, after the Night King went to the Wall, destroyed it, and marched south, there was basically no difference between day and night!

Xiaomeng contacted Yalejia, who was on high-altitude alert, and asked her to descend to see if she could withstand the wind and snow.

"It's alright, I can still see the movement on the ground clearly. But if the wind and snow get stronger, it won't be so good, and things will become very blurry."

To maintain vigilance, we need to raise our alert level to stay calm.

Bai Ze nodded and said, "Alright, then let Ya Leijia go to the south of the Ghost Shadow Forest outside the Great Wall to keep watch!"

If the snowstorm intensifies, ascend to higher altitudes, and let me know as soon as you spot the main force of the White Walkers!

Xiao Meng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have Ya Leijia keep an eye on that side!"

Xiao Meng closed her eyes and told Ya Lei Jia to speed up and fly towards the Ghost Forest outside the Great Wall. Ya Lei Jia changed her expression on the screen in the sky, climbed the altitude, and flew quickly towards the outside of the Great Wall!
