Chapter 39: chapter 38 : FOR THE HOR...THE NOOORTH
Three hours before dawn, it was completely dark when Jon carried out his plan for the assault on the great stronghold and the plan was crystal clear in its simplicity.
A detachment of 10 to 20 sworn brothers would slip inside to open the main doors and let all the rest of the troops in and begin the massacre.
On the ramparts, a group of soldiers were making their rounds complaining about the winter cold and the wind which was blowing very strongly when in the distance they saw the lights of a Corridor stopping as a sudden wind passed.
" Did you see that ?"
"We have to sort this out quickly, we don't know when the Starks and their dogs will launch the attack." One of them said and the small group of sentries went to check on the state of the Corridor to relight torches while the interior was plunged into total darkness as they entered.
"Cold like this, I should be with two whores at least in a nice warm bed."
"ahahahah I thought you had a wife"
"Shut up and turn those lights back on, you know what the men of the Night's Watch are capable of."
"I heard these guys are extraordinarily strong and fast, each of them can take on 10 experienced fighters with no problem"
"I don't particularly want to face them, especially Jon. It's said that he is the strongest of them and survived alone for almost 4 years beyond the wall."
"There are rumors that he killed white walkers, giants and other strange creatures"
" SHUT UP ! These are just rumors just like the so-called strength of these Night's Watch Dogs. If Lord Bolton listens to you I'll let you imagine what he can do to you..." The one who seemed to be the leader said when in the darkness behind him, several pairs of small luminous spheres suddenly shone in the darkness including two that were a bright blue, they were the eyes of Jon and his sworn brothers.
[ Battle music (for ambience) " Rotting Christ - Lok'tar Ogar" thanks very much to LegateMattius for his suggestion]
In an instant, the small group of sentries were massacred with muffled groans as Jon and the others slit their throats before throwing them across the wall into the darkness.
Jon: We are moving forward slowly and in absolute silence, our crossbow brothers have certainly already started to clear the way for us but let's stay focused. Understood ?
"Yes, Captain Commander." They all responded before following Jon slowly without making any noise.
In the distance, they saw several more sentries on the walls and Jon raised his hand with his palm open.
Suddenly, he closed his palm into a fist when out of nowhere on the other side of the walls, a volley of crossbow bolts arrived to attack each of the sentries with diabolical precision.
27 sentries had just died with a crossbow bolt in each of their heads, no ammunition had been wasted because the shooters of the night guard were mutants with bionic visions giving them supernatural precision.
They advanced like this each time, throwing the corpses outside the fortress with great discretion, while on these sides where the paths were no longer monitored, dozens and dozens of sworn brothers began to climb the walls to reach the heights with terrifying speed in the darkness.
In just a few minutes, several hundred sworn brothers climbed up and found Jon and the others at the top, they eliminated the guards in their path in complete discretion until the observation was made by a few soldiers who quickly rang the bell.
Jon: It would have surprised me if things continued like this, they are soldiers and not just pickets. (to the others) Let's speed up, open these doors and the rest of our troops will take care of the cleanup. Prepare to fight, FOR THE NORTH...
"FOR THE NOOOOORTH ." They all drew their dragonsteel weapons as the soldiers climbed the walls towards them as did the rest of the sworn brothers who invaded the outer walls to climb them and find their brothers.
"I'll take charge of the gate, keep these traitors busy and don't die." Jon unsheathed LongClaw smiling before quickly running towards the enemies whom he began to cut like tofu, he moved with such speed and Agility that the enemies could only distinguish the metallic shine of his sword.
Jon had no intention of facing all these soldiers and exploited the darkness to skillfully appear or disappear while moving closer to the portcullis of the great gate while the sworn brothers began to confront and kill the soldiers of the conspiracy.
Jon had been very smart because all the men inside this fortress expected a siege lasting several days, the disposition of the enemy forces suggested a classic siege, the talks gave the impression of a siege, a bloody siege in the massacre but a siege nonetheless.
No one, not even Roose, would have imagined that a few hours after the arrival of the enemy he would already be within their walls.
Even a siege needed long preparations to attack effectively, they never imagined being attacked the same day and in this way.
The genius of this feint came from the lack of organization of the conspiracy troops, they were barely abandoned by Tywin's forces when the resistance troops were already at their doorstep, preparing to defend a siege was not easy and time consuming.
Jon had not given them that time, in addition to having numerical superiority, he was going to have the effect of surprise to crush the drafts physically but also psychologically.
He didn't want to deprive them of any respite, surrender or escape, they were all going to die today.
Was it vicious ? Yes. Was it petty ? Yes. Was it genius ? Fuck yeah.
War is cruel and if Jon's enemies knew they lacked honor and valued cruelty, he wanted to show them that he could be 10 times worse than them and make them feel regret and despair until they died.
The sworn brothers dispersed and spread like a plague among the enemy troops, their swords cut without any effort and their movements were all deadly, they made no unnecessary movements and each of their responses was deadly.
In no time, they were moving with such speed and agility (Legolas level) that many were able to track down Jon's position in front of the gate and fought to cover him while he was in front of the great portcullis .
This war, the Night's Watch could easily fight alone but it wasn't Jon's will, it was not the war of the Night's Watch but that of the North and the North had to participate in it.
"Valyrian steel can cut through armor like paper, you were able to cut through the solid bones of mammoths and undead giants beyond the wall so this little portcullis is net for you my dear…" Jon said spoke to LongClaw as he killed the men in front of the portcullises before slicing the metal bars of the great portcullis.
With the supernatural sharpness of Valyrian steel combined with his insane physical strength, Jon managed to cut through the various corners of the large grid which eventually fell inwards.
On the ramparts, the Night's Watch had made a total occupation, there were no more conspiracy soldiers and none of their troops were able to return to the walls because they were all killed by the monsters of the NW if they tried to get closer.
The walls conquered, Benjen at the head of the army of the alliance was able to approach the gates with the troops in complete safety and finally, the gate had been opened for them by Jon himself and the soldiers didn't lose their time before charging inwards.
