  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.
