Chapter 259 Impossible, Absolutely Impossible
Jack sent the news that the White Walkers were at the Wall by raven to all parts of the south, and expressed his hope that the Iron Throne would surrender immediately and cooperate with him to integrate the power of all Westeros to resist the White Walkers.
The southern nobles were skeptical about the existence of the White Walkers, but the already surrendered Iron Islands, Riverlands, Vale, and Dorne all responded, while Highgarden and the Iron Islands chose to remain silent.
Jack didn't expect the Iron Throne and Highgarden to respond to his call, but this was exactly what Jack wanted.
He once again released the news, calling on other forces in Westeros to fight against the Iron Throne on the grounds that the Iron Throne disregarded the life and death of mankind, and let the seagulls that infiltrated the Seven Kingdoms spread the news and guide public opinion.
After controlling public opinion, Jack did not immediately take action against the Iron Throne, but continued to complete the encirclement. Jack himself rode his dragon north to check out the situation of the White Walkers first.
Originally, there was only a buffer distance of a few kilometers between the Ghost Forest and the Great Wall. Later, after Jack came to power, he ordered the felling of trees to store firewood, and even ordered citizens to cut down trees. Now, there is a distance of about 20 kilometers between the Ghost Forest and the Great Wall.
The reason why Jack did this was to be able to discover the White Walkers earlier. Otherwise, the zombies would be hiding in the Haunted Forest, and it would be useless even if the sentinels on the Great Wall were equipped with telescopes.
Korakshu was flying rapidly in the air, and the high temperature of his body surface collided with the wind and snow in the north, producing a large amount of water mist.
Jack, standing on the dragon's back using water vapor, felt that he was not riding a dragon, but flying in the clouds like an immortal cultivator.
Hiss——
The roar of a dragon resounded throughout the Black Castle again. Samwell, who was welcoming the reinforcements from the Free City, looked up and saw a giant dragon with steam coming out of its body landing in the castle square.
"His Majesty is here. Come with me to see His Majesty." Samwell said to Bjorn, the leader of the reinforcements.
Bjorn looked excited. Jack did not take in the wildlings from outside the Wall just to waste resources. He never relaxed his efforts to domesticate the wildlings' minds. Now Jack Poseidon has a very high status in the eyes of the citizens of Liberty City.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here. The White Walkers are coming!" Samwell came to Jack in a hurry.
"Why are you panicking? How long have you been the commander-in-chief? If the White Walkers attack the Wall now, will you pack up and run away?" Jack said with a frown.
Samwell looked embarrassed. As someone who had seen the White Walkers with his own eyes and was released by them, his fear of the White Walkers was far greater than that of ordinary people.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will defend the Great Wall to the death, and we will never embarrass you."
At this time, Bjorn immediately spoke out to express his determination. Samwell slightly widened his eyes. You are so good, Bjorn with thick eyebrows and big eyes. You are trying to trick me like this, right?
"Very good. If everyone has your determination, then the White Walkers will not be so scary. Don't you think so, Commander Sam?"
Samwell smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
Jack didn't continue to point to Samwell. He knew Samwell. Especially after Jon Snow's death, Samwell had changed a lot.
Patting Samwell on the shoulder, Jack said earnestly:
"You still need to change your personality. The position of the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall belongs to you, because only you, Samwell, have the ability to control the overall situation.
Think about the look of disappointment on your father's face when he sent you to the Great Wall. Your father is now leading 120,000 people from the River Reach to fight against the Westerlands.
And you are now the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall, to put it bluntly, the commander-in-chief. You know how high your status is in the North.
What you should do at this time is to coordinate the overall situation. When I gather the strength of the entire continent to resist the White Walkers, two or three hundred thousand troops need you to coordinate and coordinate them. What you need is the courage and decisiveness to coordinate the overall situation.
I hope your father will be proud of you by then, instead of laughing at me for being blind behind my back, okay?"
Jack's words moved Samwell and made him ashamed. Jack had promoted him to the commander-in-chief of the administrative department against all odds, which was equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch. Naturally, Samwell didn't want to let Jack down.
After Jack PUA'd Samwell, he convened a meeting in the conference room, and all the executives of Great Wall were present.
Everyone who enters the administrative department of Castle Black will go in tremblingly under the gaze of Carax. Whether it is Carax or Drogon, they will be extremely vigilant about anyone who approaches their riders.
The meeting went smoothly and Jack quickly grasped the current situation of the Great Wall.
The Great Wall now has sufficient supplies. Not counting the reinforcements from new places, the Great Wall itself has 5,400 people, and including logistics personnel, there are a total of 6,200 people.
This is a huge difference from the situation when facing the White Walkers in the original book, especially in terms of supplies. Now the Night's Watch can eat bread, sausages and broth every day. It can be said that half of the investment in the entire North is spent on the army.
Now with the additional support of 3,000 people and a large amount of supplies, the Great Wall has become a "rich landlord". In terms of supplies alone, it is not inferior to the Northern Border Army heading south.
Jack then asked Samwell to increase the patrol force and wait patiently for support from the south.
Jack is in no hurry to deal with the Night King, and similarly, the Night King is in no hurry to go south.
Now the long night has not yet truly enveloped the world, and the Night King's power has not yet reached its peak.
Jack also wanted to quell the rebellion on the Iron Throne first, and then use the opportunity to deal with the Night King to suppress some southern nobles.
After making sure that everything was normal at the Wall, Jack rode Korakshuu to fly north. It was impossible for more than one million White Walkers to be crowded in the Haunted Forest. The Night King's large army must be behind.
The cold wind was howling, and the temperature dropped as they went north. Korakshu was flying at an altitude of fifty meters. Although there were large trees blocking his view, he could still see small groups of zombie troops.
As Jack went deeper, a huge horde of zombies soon came into view. There were tens of thousands of zombies. From Jack's perspective, it suddenly gave him a sense of déjà vu of the Resident Evil.
Especially those zombies who were standing there swaying and not moving, they looked no different from the zombies in zombie movies.
Such a large group of zombies must be led by White Walkers. Jack plans to kill a few White Walkers as a gift to the Night King.
Korakshu quickly lowered the altitude and spurted out blazing dragon flames. The group of zombies below showed no reaction at all, as if they were wood waiting to be burned.
Jack raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that this group of nearly 100,000 wights didn't have a White Walker leader?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Jack muttered to himself. The Night King had more than a million wights and dozens of White Walkers under his command. It was impossible for him to leave such a large group of wights alone.
Just as Korakshu was spewing dragon fire wantonly, an ice spear suddenly flew out from the bushes and rushed towards Korakshu's neck!
