#421 - Chapter 155: The Horn of Winter, Fake?

"Buzz～" The sound emitted from the horn was like muffled thunder, resonating throughout the snowy plains and echoing between heaven and earth. However, this sound did not bring any actual impact; besides causing the surrounding air to seem to freeze for a moment, nothing else happened.

At this moment, the entire battlefield was deathly silent, and everyone was somewhat dumbfounded, wondering what the White Walkers were trying to do. The Night King was somewhat embarrassed and enraged, and he kicked the White Walker who had blown the horn away.

Both humans and White Walkers were shocked and at a loss by this sudden change. They stared wide-eyed at the Night King and the White Walker who had been kicked away, their hearts filled with doubt.

The Night King stood there, his face as gloomy as if it could drip water. His gaze swept across everything around him, as if searching for some answer. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at his subordinates behind him. He saw the White Walkers were all expressionless, as if they didn't care about what had just happened. The Night King gritted his teeth, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart. He didn't expect these White Walkers to be so incompetent that they couldn't even blow a horn properly!

The Night King decided to take matters into his own hands. He walked to the horn, took a deep breath, and then blew the horn with all his might. As the Night King blew the horn, "Buzz, buzz, buzz～" an even louder sound echoed in the wilderness, and the offensive of both sides stagnated for a moment.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the wights who were attacking stopped their footsteps and turned to look at the Night King. Their eyes flickered with confusion and bewilderment, as if they didn't know what to do next. The Night King raised Lightbringer high and let out an angry roar towards the city wall. Liu Yuan guessed that he was cursing. He went over, puffed out his cheeks, and blew hard.

However, the Night King did not get the response he wanted. He found that no matter how hard he tried, the horn could not exert its proper effect. This made him feel extremely angry and humiliated.

The Night King was infuriated, and he waved Lightbringer in his hand with force. A blue light flashed, and the wights in front instantly turned to ashes. He looked at the surrounding White Walkers angrily, his eyes filled with killing intent.

At this time, the ice dragon, which was still struggling on the ground, also felt the Night King's anger. It tried to stand up, but because its body was severely damaged, it eventually fell to the ground. Seeing this, the Night King walked over without hesitation and cut off its head with Lightbringer. In an instant, the ice dragon, which was still struggling, shattered into ice shards that filled the sky.

The Night King raised Lightbringer, pointed it at the city wall, and once again let out an angry roar. This roar was louder and more shocking than before. His voice echoed in the wilderness, as if it would penetrate the clouds and reach the sky.

With the Night King's roar, all the attacking wights immediately stopped attacking and began to retreat. They surged in like a tide, and retreated like a tide, leaving behind a ground full of corpses and wreckage.

The people on the city wall watched the scene in front of them dumbfounded. They couldn't believe their eyes. The White Walker army, which had just been aggressive, retreated without any warning. Their hearts were filled with doubt and incomprehension, and they didn't know why the Night King would make such a decision.

Soon, news came from various strongholds that the attacking White Walkers had all retreated. Although wights in some places had climbed onto the city walls, the defenders were all professional soldiers, and their individual qualities were very strong. After the initial chaos, the casualties at each stronghold were very low. Moreover, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers could effectively kill the wights.

Because Dragonstone was constantly mining obsidian, with a large number of craftsmen concentrated on production, it was finally possible to ensure that all 60,000 people on the front line had a dragonglass weapon. Not only that, but the remaining scraps were not wasted, but were made into arrowheads of various sizes for future use.

Clever craftsmen were no longer limited to simple dragonglass spears and daggers. They also developed new weapons such as dragonglass battle axes and dragonglass large cleavers. Currently, they are working hard to overcome the dragonglass longsword, hoping to put it into use as soon as possible.

The most extravagant equipment was Liu Yuan's direct legion. The blades of their main battle weapons actually used precious Valyrian steel, which undoubtedly made their combat power even better.

Looking at the gradually retreating White Walkers, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that although the battle was fierce, they had successfully repelled the enemy. However, they also understood that this was only a temporary victory, and more challenges awaited them in the future. But in any case, this moment of relaxation was a rare enjoyment for these brave warriors. The commander turned to the soldiers around him and said, "Everyone, quickly clean up the battlefield and send all the wounded to the rear for treatment." The soldiers acted quickly, cleaning up the corpses and debris on the battlefield.

Liu Yuan accompanied Daenerys to the edge of the city wall. The blizzard had stopped, revealing the messy battlefield below. Daenerys looked at the dark forest in the distance and suddenly asked, "I didn't expect the White Walkers could summon ice dragons. There is no relevant record in the books I have read."

Liu Yuan thought for a moment and said slowly, "Actually, there are records. Ice dragons are a legendary monster. It is said that they roam the Shivering Sea and the White Waste (the Arctic Circle of the Ice and Fire world; the author Martin once described that there are auroras there). They are much larger than the dragons of Valyria. Their bodies are covered by frost, their eyes are pale blue crystals, they wave translucent huge wings, and breathe out cold air. Northern sailors say that the ice fog on the Shivering Sea is the breath of ice dragons. It should be a war puppet summoned by the White Walkers thousands of years ago."

Daenerys frowned and asked, "Then what was the Night King doing at the end? What was the use of them bringing out that huge horn?"

Liu Yuan said slowly, "That should be the Horn of Winter. According to legend, the Children of the Forest and the giants helped the First Men build the Wall. And legend has it that blowing the Horn of Winter can use magic to make the giants sleeping underground destroy the Wall."

Melisandre said with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, when the wildlings approached the Wall, they once sent a message to the Night's Watch. If they were not allowed to go south, they would blow the Horn of Winter and destroy the Wall. At that time, letting the White Walkers go south would be the end of everyone. But Stannis led his army to raid the wildlings and captured Mance Rayder, and the Horn of Winter was also seized. When Mance Rayder was executed, I personally threw the Horn of Winter into the fire. It should have been burned with Mance Rayder."
