Chapter 650: The Final Strike
The dragon is a decisive strategic weapon at this time. Once the dragon appears on the battlefield, his enemy will fall into an extremely unfavorable situation. Although Daenerys and Jon have two dragons, the Night King only has Viserion One, but judging from the situation of the TV series, the night king's driving skills are obviously better than Jon and Daenerys, and it is not impossible to win with one against two.
That means that there may be loopholes in the defense line built by Winterfell, and the aliens will attack the godswood forest. The final decisive battle will begin soon. Shen Long must hurry up and take Arya to help.
The TV series has never explained why the Night King insisted on killing Bran himself and sending his men over there? He still has many different ghosts under his command, and there are so many ghouls. He only needs to sit in the rear and slowly use ghouls to consume all the soldiers in Winterfell. Isn't Bran only going to die? Why take the risk yourself?
Shen Long looked through the original book, and it seemed that there was no explanation in the original book, but some senior fans made a more reliable guess about this matter, which involves the common plot of patricide in Western literature.
The Night King is not a naturally born intelligent creature, but a war weapon created by the children of the forest, just like the Ultron created by Tony Stark, the artificial intelligence in the Terminator.
This may cause the Night King to hate the children of the forest who created him, hate the three-eyed crow, and then kill his own creator, either to prove that he is the new master of this world, or simply for revenge.
Throughout the entire TV series, the night king did not take many shots in person. Once he killed the old three-eyed crow face to face, and once shot down Viserion with a spear. Perhaps shooting down Viserion was to crack the city builder Bran. The magic co-created by Den and the Children of the Forest, goes south of the Wall, and killing the Three-Eyed Raven may be just such a patricide plot.
Bran inherited the inheritance of the Three-Eyed Raven and became the new Three-Eyed Raven, so the Night King will naturally kill Bran himself. Once Bran dies, his wish can be fulfilled, so he is so obsessed.
While running quickly to the Godswood, he looked up to observe the air battle between the Night King, Daenerys, and Jon. The new pilot Jon was the first to lose, Rego was injured by Viserion, and Drogon was also facing a disadvantageous situation Without the containment of the giant dragon, the army of ghouls gradually broke through the defense line of Winterfell, and even the three flame trenches couldn't stop them.

The Unsullied, the Dothraki cavalry, the Vale, Winterfell, and the Lannister family's armies hurriedly circled the city and retreated to the rear, planning to enter the city through the south gate and rebuild the defense line with the help of the city wall.
Bronze Jorn supported them with wildfire on the city wall, which won them a valuable opportunity to retreat, and some of the soldiers who survived turned back and stopped the wights, allowing the rest of the army to escape.
The ghouls have already begun to attack the city, and some even entered Winterfell and the Godswood. The Night King paid a considerable price for Daenerys and Jon's pursuit. He was taken from Viserion's back It was shot down, and it happened to land near the godswood.
At this time, Bran was only protected by Theon Greyjoy and a few ironmen from the Iron Islands. They used dragonglass arrows and spears to deal with the ghouls surrounding them. Simple fortifications, instead of just a few people standing there to fight like in TV dramas.
When Shen Long and Arya rushed over, they happened to see the last moment of Theon's life. After being issued a good card by Bran, Theon launched a decisive charge against the Night King with a spear in his hand, but all this did not happen. What the heck, the Night King easily snapped his spear and killed Theon.
Now,
There was no one else between the Night King and Bran. The Night King slowly wanted Bran to walk over. Bran raised his head and rolled his eyes. Suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings above the heart tree.
A group of ravens rushed towards the Night King, the White Walkers, and ghouls below from the air. The beaks and claws of these ravens were all tied with sharp dragon crystals. Without paying attention, a White Walker was killed by a raven. Grabbing it with the claws with dragon crystals, it immediately shattered into ice chips, and some ghouls around it also fell down.
The rest of the White Walkers reacted immediately, either picked up the ice crystal long sword, or pulled out the ice crystal spear, and began to deal with the ravens. The Night King just raised his head slightly, and Bran's actions did not cause him too much trouble. Troubled, he raised his hand and waved away the ravens coiling around his head, and continued to walk towards Bran.
Seeing that the Night King had arrived in front of Bran, and the raven controlled by Bran was almost killed by the White Walkers, he recovered from the white-eyed state and looked at the Night King indifferently. hilt.
"Okay, this is the time! Remember what I said to you last night, you only have one chance!" Shen Long grabbed Erya's vest, Erya's knees were slightly arched, and then she jumped suddenly , Shen Long took the opportunity to throw her towards the Night King, then quickly took the bow and set up an arrow, and shot three arrows at the Night King.
The Night King dodged Shen Long's arrow with a slight dodge, and turned back suddenly. The hand that was planning to hold the sword stretched forward, just in time to grab Arya's neck.
"It's this time!" Shen Long shouted loudly, of course he guessed this scene, and conducted several simulation drills with Arya.
Arya reacted quickly, loosened her left hand, and the Valyrian steel dagger fell naturally under the action of gravity. When it fell to her waist, Arya caught the dagger with her right hand and stabbed forward. It happened to stab the gap in the middle of the Night King's armor, and stabbed the dragon crystal dagger inserted in his body.
At this moment, even the air seemed to be frozen, and everything seemed extremely silent. Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and there was a cracking sound from the Night King's chest. The dragon crystal dagger that had been inserted into his chest for an unknown number of years finally shattered. The cracks spread along the dragonglass dagger to the Night King's body.
The Night King glanced at Arya expressionlessly, and then turned into icy shards all over the sky. Arya fell to the ground and coughed, and the other White Walkers around him also shattered like the Night King. It was created by the Night King, and now that the Night King is dead, they have lost their source of magic.
The remaining ghouls transformed by the Night King or other White Walkers also slowly fell to the ground, and the shouts of killing that filled the air inside and outside of Winterfell slowly stopped.
Arya and Shen Long looked up at the sky, only to see a little bit of morning light on the horizon, the long night had passed, and the dawn and sunshine were finally coming.
Phew, Shen Long also heaved a sigh of relief, this time the task was finally completed.
