Chapter 421
Then the surviving coalition soldiers whispered to each other, and he imagined it better.
"impossible."
"If you kill the Night King, these ghouls will all die."
However, as soon as his voice came out, he was opposed.
Some of them have seen the death of the White Walkers. When the White Walkers died, all the ghouls he transformed into would fall apart, and the Night King created all the White Walkers, which belonged to the lifeblood of the entire army of the dead.
But no matter what, in the final analysis, the Legion of the Dead retreated again, and all the soldiers and nobles of the coalition army saved their lives because of this.
They watched helplessly as the endless ghouls passed by in front of them and slowly walked towards the north until their figures gradually disappeared in front of them.
"Great, we finally survived."
Some people couldn't help crying with joy and hugged each other, while others simply lay down in the snow and started to sleep soundly.
"Hurry up and find the bachelor!"
And King Robert Baratheon, who was shot in the right chest with an arrow, was also placed on the ground, and the white snow was stained red with blood.
The bachelor who was with the army was hurriedly found and was trying to save the king's life.
King Zhongjian fell into a syncope, and now the coalition is leaderless, and apart from the king, there is no powerful noble to take over the position of commander-in-chief.
Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, Stannis, Duke of Dragonstone, and others did not appear here.
"My lords, you are not good at this"
The heir of Riverrun, Edmure Tully, seemed to be eager to try, but when he stood up wearing clean armor with the hilt of his sword, he was greeted with silent mockery from a group of nobles and shook his head.
"Edmore!"
And Edmure's uncle, Brynden Tully, the Blood Knight 'Blackfish' in Valley Armor, didn't want to see his nephew being laughed at by the nobles present, so he interrupted him rudely.
The young heir of Riverrun looked at his uncle for a moment, but he didn't seem to notice the smiles on everyone's faces.
Then Brynden slightly supported his forehead and said helplessly.
"Sit down."
Although Edmure is the heir of the Tully family and the future Lord of Riverrun, but now his father still has a breath that he is not the owner of the Riverland in one day, everyone still regards him as a bad boy.
What's more, Edmure's performance in this war is also obvious to all. Not only did he fail to interpret the Tully family's motto 'family, responsibility, honor', but he also smeared the Tully family. Now he speaks out in front of many famous generals from the Seven Kingdoms. The self-recommended commander-in-chief only adds to the laughing stock.
"I propose that Lord Barristan Selmi temporarily act as the commander-in-chief of the entire army."
Later, Yon Royce, the Earl of Runestone City, who was the representative of the valley army, proposed that the captain of the Kings Guard temporarily act as the commander-in-chief.
Sir Barristan Selmy has no problems with his ability, identity and character, and is more suitable for the post of temporary commander-in-chief of the entire army.
What's more important is that the white-robed knight is only loyal to the king and does not involve the interests of the rest of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. In this case, it is more able to convince and unite everyone.
Sure enough, Earl Jon Royce's proposal was not opposed by the nobles present. Everyone looked at each other, then nodded and agreed.
"Can."
"Yes."
"I agree."
And Barristan Selmy did not refuse or refuse. He took up the responsibility and temporarily took over the position of commander-in-chief of His Majesty the King.
"Thank you for your trust."
Afterwards, the gray-haired captain of the King's Guard led the remnants of the coalition army's defeated generals and the seriously injured and unconscious His Majesty the King, who was just about to withdraw towards the warm south.
At this moment, snowflakes suddenly flew from the rear of the coalition forces.
At this time, Duke Tywin Lannister, holding the golden lion banner, finally arrived with his army.
And on the other side of the Green Fork River far away from the rear battlefield.
The place where the King of the Dead Legion and the King of Humans fought, the earth was repeatedly burned by dragon flames and turned black.
The figure of the Night King gradually faded away, and the dragon knight in silver armor finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground again.

Bright armor made a sound, reflecting the morning sun.
After a night of fierce fighting, the haze in the sky dissipated, and it was as if the sun had cleared the clouds, and the brilliant sun finally shone on the earth once again.
Viserys was exhausted. After kneeling on one knee on the ground, he simply threw the Divine Soldier Dusk in his hand and lay directly on the blackened ground covered with a layer of snow, in a large shape.
And his companion, the black dragon Balerion, also fell from the sky, and did not go after the Night King.
boom--
The giant dragon fell heavily to the ground, stirring up dust, its slender neck stretched slightly, and its hideous dragon head arched Viserys on the ground.
Realizing that his partner hadn't died yet, he raised his hand and made a gesture to make it 'roll away', and immediately raised his neck and let out a long roar.
There is a unique telepathy between dragons and their dragon knights, and of course Balerion knows that Viserys is not dead, just a little exhausted.
And at this time.
A figure in the distance was walking slowly towards Viserys.
wow...
The red dress and copper-colored hair fluttered in the wind, accompanied by the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield and the smell of stinky clothes.
Bellerion sensed someone approaching, turned his head slightly and issued a low warning sound.
But when he saw the appearance of the person coming, the huge head slowly stood up, and a pair of scarlet eyes locked the witch in red below, but he did not prevent the other party from approaching Viserys, but let him go directly.
The dragon also has a unique sense of human beings. He noticed that Melisandre had no ill will towards Viserys, and was considered his own, so he was not embarrassed.
The red-robed witch who walked slowly also looked up at the behemoth lying on the ground.
The dragon's body exuded an amazing temperature, and Balerion fell to the ground, and the surrounding snow began to melt and turned into snow water.
Melisandre saw that the dragon had no intention to stop her, and knowing that the other party knew human nature, she bowed slightly and walked slowly towards Viserys.
wow-
And the silver armored dragon knight, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, also climbed up from the ground at this moment.
"Pooh."
He spat out the scorched earth and snowflakes that Balerion had just dropped and splashed into his mouth.
"His Majesty."
Melisandre came to Viserys' side.
She glanced at Dusk of the Divine Soldier thrown to the ground, and then a pair of beautiful eyes fell on Viserys again, and said softly.
"You fought off the Night King by yourself and saved countless lives."
Then the red-robed witch's eyes turned to the place where the Night King left in the distance.
"The cold god has receded this time, the winter has passed away, and the long summer is coming."
"I'm afraid the south of the neck will not make a comeback for at least five years."
"What's your plan next?"
