Chapter 332 Spear Throwing
And at the top of the Great Wall.
The leader of the human coalition, King Robert Baratheon of the Seven Kingdoms, held the Storm Hammer in the palm of his hand, standing in the white snowstorm, his eyes were piercing, and he looked down at the unseen ghoul below.
He saw the White Walker headed by the Skeleton Horse. The other side was the leader of all the White Walkers, the commander of the Legion of the Dead, and the Lord of the Night.
"Yaoh."
"Is that his name?"
"Ed!"
Robert Baratheon held the warhammer in the palm of his hand, and the cold wind was whistling in his ears. There were white snowstorms everywhere as far as he could see, making people almost unable to open their eyes, and then turned his head slightly and asked to stand. Eddard Stark by his side.
The last time he had borrowed the Stark ancestral Valyrian steel greatsword 'Frozen' to kill a White Walker, he has now returned it to Eddard.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"He should be the Night King!"
The middle-aged man with long dark brown hair also stood on the Great Wall of Despair, looked at the White Walker with the Ice Crown on his head, took a deep breath, and said loudly.
Today's wind and snow are too heavy, making it difficult for the two of them to speak, and they need to raise their voices and shout.
And the army of the dead below was covered with blackness and could not see the end at a glance, which also put a great psychological pressure on the Duke of Winterfell's heart.
Although he looks calm on the surface now, the man's palms have even seeped sweat.
On the human side, the leader of the White Walkers will be dubbed the 'Night King'.
Because of the long night that enveloped Westeros when the White Walkers attacked 8,000 years ago, the leader of the White Walkers may not even know that he has the title of 'Lord of the Night' on the human side.
And also thousands of years ago.
After the first White Walkers attack, the thirteenth commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch also called himself the Night King.
There are many theories about his origin, such as the Bolton family, the Magna clan, the Amber family, the Flint clan of the Mountain tribe, the Nott clan, the Woodford clan, and so on.
Of course, there is a more general statement, that is, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch is from the Stark family and the "King of the North" who later defeated him are brothers.
He proclaimed himself the 'Night King', and led the Night's Watch to become independent, and named a woman suspected of being the White Walker as queen.
Although the two are also known as the Night Kings, there seems to be no necessary connection between the two Night Kings.
But this is already a story from ancient times, and no one except the people of that era can know the secrets.
It may not be impossible that two people are the same person.
After all, people today don't even know the meaning of the White Walkers' existence.
"Humph--"
"This bitch, I'm going to smash his head with my own hands!"
Robert Baratheon snorted coldly.
"Disturbing the rest of the dead is the most intolerable sin, the seven gods are on top, this goddamn Night King actually manipulated so many corpses, why doesn't the unselfish Heavenly Father punish this unrepentant sinner and drive him to seven go to hell"
Robert babbled, probably talking about why the seven gods didn't punish these monsters and ghosts.
However, there is the original text on the Seven Stars Bible.
'No demons, dead souls, or ghosts can harm those who believe in the Seven Gods, and believers can travel all over the world with faith as their armor. ’
'The candle in the wind of mortal life can be extinguished slowly by the breeze. In this world, death is not far from us, and seven hells await those sinners who have not repented. ’
'All crimes will be forgiven, but must first be punished. ’
Although Robert swears at the "seven layers of hell" or the more vulgar "son of a son of a bitch", but Robert is a pious person, he thinks that the seven gods will be firm on his side and help him defeat these evil spirits.
And Eddard Stark listened to his good brother swearing here, opened his mouth several times and seemed to hesitate.
He really wanted to tell the other party that they were in the north, the north was the territory of the old gods, and the seven gods could not speak well.
And if you believe in the Seven Gods, the White Walkers must also have their own gods.
However, the Guardian of the North is a person who abides by honor and is cautious in words and deeds.
He didn't say these words after all, just warned Robert.
"Your Majesty, don't talk about the gods at this time!"
And below.
The King of the Night, who was riding on the skeleton horse, raised his head and looked up at the Great Wall of Despair above his head. His eyes were sharp, and icy blue flames burned in the empty eye sockets.
He saw two people on the top of the city, one of them had a golden crown on his head, and the other had a wolf-head medal on his chest.
"Um?"
The Night King made a piercing sound like ice cracking, as if he was expressing doubts.
He saw the wolf head medal on Ed's chest, which reminded him of something, and a pair of brows without eyebrows frowned slightly.
The Night King's brows were slightly wrinkled, and the icy fog that had almost condensed around him became thicker.
Then there was another murmur of incomprehensible language from his mouth, and he held out a hand.
And another White Walker riding a skeleton white bear seemed to have a good heart, and without saying a word, took the initiative to hand a frozen short spear into the hands of the Night King.
Although they are also White Walkers, they seem to be different from the ghouls who have lost their minds. However, there are also distinct hierarchies among the White Walkers.
Including the White Walker who was killed by Robert, the White Walkers standing behind the Night King now are of lower rank.
They were on direwolf, skeleton horses like the Night King, and dead mammoth corpses.
And the Night King is clearly their leader.
The man exuding coldness clenched the frozen short spear handed to him by his subordinates, then turned around, raised his head again and looked at the two people standing on the Great Wall above his head.
And Robert and Ed, who are standing on the Great Wall of Despair, looking down are not very real...
The Night King seems to have asked for a short spear from his subordinates?
"What does he want to do?"
"Could it be that he wanted to throw it up?"
Robert Baratheon, holding the Storm Hammer, sounded a little puzzled.
But at the same time, a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart, knowing that the Great Wall is seven hundred feet high.
However, when Robert had not finished his words.
next second.
whoosh-
The Night King looked up at the two on the Wall, especially Eddard Stark, who was standing beside Robert.
A pair of eyes flashed blue flames, and then he raised his hand and suddenly threw the frozen short spear in his hand.
The short spear made a strong screeching sound, which could be heard from a long distance. It ripped apart the white snow curtain and flew straight to Eddard Stark's chest quickly.
The two people on the Great Wall, although they are now in high positions, do not have to play in person for a long time, but they were also excellent fighters back then, and their reaction speed is naturally extremely fast.
"not good!"
The expressions of His Majesty the King and the Guardian of the North changed.
