343 The Dangerous Situation
The flames in the fireplace beside him burned quietly, reflecting the shadows of the old scholar and Renli, which were long and trance-like. He held a letter of help written in parchment in his hand, and the young figure standing next to the fireplace fell into deep thought.
The current situation in the entire Westeros continent is actually very bad.
People who are in Dragon Stone Island may not be aware of this, but in fact, people from all over the seven countries, both civilians and nobles, were already in panic.
The disaster that broke out from the far north grew rapidly like a snowball in a short period of time. Letters of help kept flying from the north, and the black wings brought no good news.
The northern border is vast, but as of now, nearly half of the places have fallen into the tide of monsters.
Faced with the increasingly large army of corpse ghouls, the more they resisted, the more they were, the lords of any place in the northern border could fight against them. In the face of disaster, a few castles were strong enough to hide in buildings and survive, but most of the civilians in villages and towns outside the castles could basically be swallowed up, and then turned into corpse ghouls to retaliate against the fate of mankind.
Two days before Lan Li received a letter of help from Junlin, news of the fall of the castle nearest Winterfell, which was the Stark family in the north, was already rumored. It is not difficult to guess at this moment that the army of corpse ghosts might have overwhelmed the territory of Winterfell.
This situation is very dangerous.
Can the hope in the series in the memory of the previous life be born?
Lan Li had no hope for this, and he did not believe that the corpse ghouls would fight to the death in Winterfell. In fact, although the castle was geographically critical, it was only for human military operations. For the monster wave, they had no reason to be delayed there. After all, Winterfell is not a critical level that can be opened by a man.
It can be foreseen that these monsters will soon cross the northern border and enter Hejian, and even the king's territory adjacent to Hejian, which is the area where King's Landing is located.
So in general, it was not too surprising to him to have a letter of help from Longshi Island. After all, many of the things he did were obviously not something that normal people could do.
But the letter of help from flying in at this moment was a bit subtle, just because the army of corpse ghosts had not yet broken through the important barrier between the North and Westeros.
Neckwall is a huge swamp, located between the northern border and the river land, spanning the entire continent. Relying on this for thousands of years, the northerners never regarded the forces outside the northern border as a threat until the Targaryen dragon arrived.
Before Targaryen, no one could force a breakthrough in the natural barrier of the neck. No matter what the purpose was, all enemies who invaded the northern border would return in the neck.
Just a small number of troops are needed to station towers in the swamp to withstand dozens or hundreds of times the invasion of the enemy. The neck is a natural protective umbrella for the northerners, and for the undisciplined White Walkers, this natural barrier is obviously more effective.
Without exploring, Lanli could also guess that what the Lords of Westeros outside the northern border are most looking forward to is that the army of corpse ghosts returned in the neck zone, and were then restricted to the northern border and could not spread outward. Understanding a certain situation, the possibility of this possibility is still very high, and Lanli himself even had this idea.
In other words, it seems that no one will despair about this disaster until this hope is shattered.
So why is this letter of help delivered now?
Lan Li pondered endlessly.
If the relationship is good, it is nothing. The problem is that the two sides had a great unhappiness not long ago. They were able to take the initiative to "suppose their superiors" and write this letter in a gesture of praying for humility. Some special news has been revealed silently.
"Is there something we don't know happened?" he finally concluded.
"I am very fortunate, sir, I don't think there will be any worse situations than it is now." The old bachelor at the desk commented on this, "unless the White Walker appears under King's Landing."
Lan Li didn't comment on this.
...
In general, there was nothing wrong with this matter, and Renli didn't plan to pay attention to the letter.
It's not because of personal grudges, but because of those corpses, he has no effective way to fight against them-
Although there is a very large storage dragon crystal mine in Longshi Island under your feet, the dragon crystal mine is effective for White ghosts, but it is impossible to have any use for a large number of corpse ghosts.
It is obvious that as the core of the army of corpse ghosts, no White Walker will be exposed on his own initiative, and can only be hidden in the abdomen of a large number of corpse ghosts. In this case, it is not easy to dig it out from a large number of enemies and then use dragon crystal weapons to fight against it.
The seven gods on his wrist became silent again, and the endorseor had no idea at the moment and could not count on it at all. And with Lan Li's own ability alone, it was impossible to resist the wave of monsters.
In this case, it is a wise choice to hide in the Dragon Stone Island to think about the way he is. He was rumored to be very magical, but he is not god. With powerlessness, Lan Li did not want to run out and mix with enemies who were destined to be unable to be friendly forces.
However, he didn't want to think about it, and he had to think about it forcibly.
The day after the first letter of help, another letter flew over again, and the things written in the letter were simple but fatal—
The army of monsters can wade through the sea and then bypass the neck barrier that hinders progress.
