#424 - Chapter 158 The Wall Collapsed (Part 2)

Carter Pyke was the original commander of Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, a bastard born on the Iron Islands.

When Jon was elected as the new Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, Carter not only retained his original position but also improved the treatment of the Night's Watch. Therefore, Carter became one of his most loyal supporters. However, with Daenerys's arrival, she needed to redeploy the army for ease of management, so Carter was sent to garrison Greenhall.

Although Carter himself was illiterate, this letter was undoubtedly written by someone else. He knew very little about the specific situation and could only briefly recount what Carter had seen and heard.

Since the Others usually operate at night, the Night's Watch is most vigilant at night. When abnormal weather occurred, they immediately noticed the change. First, a blizzard swept in, followed by a strong tremor, and then a deafening roar.

Due to obstructed visibility, the specific situation at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea could not be ascertained, but it was certain that a large-scale collapse had occurred at the Wall. It was reported that the wall six hundred yards east of Greenhall had completely collapsed, with rocks and ice scattered everywhere. Carter had followed the contingency plan, dispatching personnel to contact Stone Hedge and sending letters to Castle Black via two separate routes.

Prior to this, the generals had engaged in heated discussions, and in order to prevent the Wall from being breached by the Others' army, they decided to establish several key defensive nodes in the rear. Among them, the rear of Eastwatch-by-the-Sea was centered on Stone Hedge and Crow's Nest, using logs as walls to connect the soldiers' longhouses, thereby constructing a second line of defense.

Liu Yuan took the letter, carefully checked the seal, and then handed it back to the messenger, inquiring with concern, "What is the situation at the front? Is there any new information?"

The messenger took the letter, carefully stuffed it into the letter tube, and replied, "Sir, the blizzard outside is too heavy, I can't see the situation ahead at all, and even the sound can't travel too far. However, when I stood on the wall, I could see faint lights still flickering in the direction of the harbor. As of when I left, the brothers in the fortress below had not yet discovered any Others crossing, but I cannot guarantee the current situation."

Liu Yuan nodded, indicating his understanding, and said, "Okay, I understand. Continue on your way and reach Castle Black as soon as possible. After seeing the Queen, tell her that I am at the front and ask her to rest assured. Also, remember to notify Robb at Longnight Keep to prepare for countermeasures."

"Yes! Understood!" The messenger respectfully saluted and then turned to leave. He mounted his horse, ready to continue his mission. But before he could set off, an invisible pressure suddenly came from the sky, a kind of indescribable power, as if the whole world was about to tremble.

A huge black dragon descended from the sky, its body huge and majestic, its wings spanning tens of meters. With its appearance, the surrounding air seemed to become heavy, making it difficult to breathe.

The mule felt the dragon's pressure and knelt down directly. It turned out that Leviathan had arrived, and at this moment, all four dragons descended, not to mention the mule, even the guards on the wall almost knelt down.

Liu Yuan stood on the wall and leaped down, landing steadily on Leviathan's back. He reached out and gently stroked Leviathan's dragon neck, and then conveyed instructions to it with his divine sense.

Leviathan raised its head and let out a dragon roar, its voice resounding through the sky. The other three dragons followed it and roared together, their voices shaking the wilderness. Then, they continued to fly east, their speed as fast as lightning, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

After the dragons left, the soldiers took a while to recover from their shock, their faces filled with uncontrollable excitement and agitation. The dragons' huge and majestic bodies, unparalleled power, and heart-shaking roars ignited their desire and hope for victory. They firmly believed that with such a powerful force as their backing, they would surely be able to defeat any enemy.

However, among this group of people, only the poor messenger stood there with a mournful face, because the mule had been so frightened that it had shit and pissed all over itself, completely giving up.

At this moment, an officer walked up to him, gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "This mule is useless, but don't worry too much. You can choose to walk to the Ice Crystal Gate stronghold, where there are spare mules. If you run a little faster, you should still be able to make it."

Hearing this, the messenger had no choice but to tighten his leather jacket, then lowered his head and quickened his pace, continuing to run west. Several soldiers were preparing to lift the mule, intending to move it to the livestock shed.

The officer quickly stopped them, frowning and saying, "This mule is beyond saving, drag it aside and slaughter it. In this cold weather, the brothers need to eat something hot to have more fighting power. Tell the cook to put his heart into it and make everyone happy."

The soldiers were excited to hear that they could have extra food, and happily carried the mule to the kitchen. The officer knew very well that he and his men would soon be on the battlefield, and it wouldn't be a problem for the brothers to have a good meal, and the superiors wouldn't pursue it.

Liu Yuan drove Leviathan, leading the other three dragons towards Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. In the high sky, he quickly saw the damaged part of the Wall. The torches illuminating the wall stopped here.

Liu Yuan's heart sank, his brows furrowed, and his eyes became sharp. He could feel danger approaching. He decisively accelerated, making the dragons fly faster and closer to their destination.

As the distance closed, they finally arrived at the damaged part of the Wall. The scene before him shocked Liu Yuan: the damage to the Wall was very serious, as if it had been directly pushed down by some huge force. The originally solid wall had now collapsed into ruins, forming a huge gap.

In the ruins below, many shadows could be vaguely seen moving. Liu Yuan's eyes were fixed on these shadows, and a sense of unease and tension surged in his heart. He knew that these shadows were likely enemies, but what exactly they were was not yet clear.

Liu Yuan gently patted Leviathan's neck, giving it an order. Leviathan opened its huge mouth and spewed a stream of blazing flames towards the bottom. This flame, like a volcanic eruption, instantly illuminated the surrounding ice fog.

In the light of the fire, Liu Yuan clearly saw the true faces of those shadows. It turned out that these shadows were densely packed wights, their number chilling. In addition, there were some tall Others, exuding a cold aura, who seemed to be the commanders of this army. The Others raised their heads and roared at the suddenly appearing dragons, their voices resounding through the sky, and Liu Yuan felt a strong hostility.

Leviathan's wings shook, sweeping across the earth, rushing towards the enemy at an astonishing speed. At the same time, the dragon flame in its mouth did not stop, continuously spraying towards the ground, forming a wall of fire. The wights and Others were trapped in it and could not escape, struggling bitterly in the raging flames.

The unlucky Others couldn't dodge in time and were swallowed by the dragon flame. They didn't have the Night King's powerful magic barrier and were directly burned to ashes! After the Others were killed, the wights under their control would also collapse at the same time, and these corpses could not be resurrected by magic again.

"Roar~!" Another dragon flame spewed out, plowing along the ground, it was the black dragon Drogon following Leviathan and launching an attack. Then came the second, the third... Viserion and Rhaegal swooped down and burned the Others below!

The dragons' breath brought not only high temperatures, but also a highly compressed gas. The effect was very similar to napalm bombs, accompanied by explosions and intense high-temperature air currents. Even under the cover of magical ice fog, the flames produced still burned fiercely. The four dragons caused thousands of wight casualties with just one swoop.

Liu Yuan stood on Leviathan's back, overlooking the battlefield below. He saw the Others falling one after another under the dragon flame attack, turning to ashes. And those wights controlled by the Others lost their support and collapsed to the ground. The entire battlefield was filled with the smell of burning and smoke.

With the dragons' attacks, the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear. Although the Others were numerous, they were still vulnerable to the dragons' powerful force. Considering that countless Others were pouring into the gate, Liu Yuan decided to speed up.

Liu Yuan drove the dragons, circling near the gap, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, scanning the battlefield below. He commanded the dragons to circle in the air, making bursts of dragon roars, shaking the surrounding air as if it were trembling.

The number of wights crossing the Wall was staggering, like a black tide, pouring into the gap. However, to Liu Yuan's relief, the situation at Greenhall and other defense lines was much better than he had imagined. Those brave and fearless soldiers had firmly resisted the wight army outside.

In the distance, countless torches formed fiery dragons, winding towards the front line, it was reinforcements from all over rushing to help. A surge of hope welled up in Liu Yuan's heart, he believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to overcome this crisis.

Liu Yuan controlled the dragons, plowing through the wight swarm again twice, each impact causing a large number of casualties to the Others. The spear in his hand gleamed coldly, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Others. Then, he turned his head and led the dragons to continue flying towards the port.

Eastwatch-by-the-Sea port, at this time the fire here dyed half the sky red. The raging flames illuminated the entire battlefield, making people feel the cruelty and magnificence of the war. Although more than three hours had passed, the human warriors were still resisting stubbornly, their courage and perseverance were admirable.

The endless army of wights seemed to have no end, wave after wave, trying to break through the human defenses. But in this sea of fire, the human warriors built an indestructible wall with their own flesh and blood, guarding their homes and loved ones behind them.

Although it had been considered that the wall might be breached, everyone was still shocked and surprised when this moment actually came. No one had expected this sudden change, that the Others would descend in this way. Both Jon and his soldiers were caught off guard by this sudden attack.

After nightfall, under the cover of the blizzard, a squad of twelve Others quickly approached the Wall. Before the Wall's guards could notice, they unhesitatingly blew the Horn of Winter!

As Liu Yuan had expected, blowing the Horn of Winter came at a great cost - a large amount of magic. And the more magic provided, the greater the impact.

Each member of this Other squad was drained of magic by the horn, eventually turning into a sky full of ice shards. However, their sacrifice was not meaningless. Through the resonance of magic, the super-large weirwood tree, which was originally a magic node, released its long-accumulated powerful force.

Countless thick roots and huge branches broke out of the ground, penetrating the towering walls of the Wall at an alarming rate. The originally hard as stone ice walls began to peel off in large chunks, as if the walls had lost their support, teetering.

Soon, the wall could not withstand the sudden weight and began to collapse. It was like a huge iceberg, gradually collapsing. And as the wall collapsed, the entire Wall collapsed section by section like a domino.

Eastwatch-by-the-Sea's castle was located near the port, but even so, it was still some distance from the Wall. However, the collapsing ice still destroyed a third of the castle's buildings, and the houses under the wall were completely buried in the ruins.

Countless stones and ice shards poured into the port like a flood. Many ships suffered severe damage, and some even sank directly. This disaster brought endless destruction, causing the Northern lords to feel heartbroken.

In just a few minutes, this disaster had caused more than two thousand casualties. Most of them were free folk who had just been transferred to replace the garrison yesterday, and they had no time to adapt to the new environment before suffering this disaster.

Tormund's heart was bleeding, he looked at the tragic situation before him, his heart filled with pain and anger. But he knew that now was not the time to be sad, he must act quickly.

Fortunately, there were enough people at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, and Jon was able to quickly organize enough manpower to put into the work of rescuing the wounded and supplies. However, the time left for him was running out, because the Night King would not give humans too much time to prepare. But the Others' attack was about 40 minutes later than he had expected.

Just now, the Horn of Winter was activated, triggering the changes of the super-large weirwood tree, resulting in a large area of elemental disturbance.
