|3rd POV|
The sound of screaming can be heard through the wall. Purple fire burns through the building on top of the wall. The people try to go down the wall, but the stair to the wall burns to ashes as a massive dragon releases a torrent of purple fire.
"Alduin! Fireball to that tower!"
This dragon is Alduin, and the one ordering the attack is Viserys. Melisandre also helps him control the excess fire from the fireball Alduin releases. She controls them and makes sure the fire spreads far and wide.
Her real target? The Mole's Town and the Black Castle underneath the wall.
"Fire! Kill that thing!"
Jeor Mormont, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, roars angrily as he orders the others to attack the massive dragon that burns the Night's Watch order.
Sadly for them, Alduin is a dragon, and all their attacks are useless against him.
The black dragon releases a massive torrent of fire at another group of people on the wall and kills them in a single attack.
"My lord! We need to destroy the Black Castle! We are done with the people on the wall! We cannot stay here for too long!"
Viserys nods his head and says.
"Alduin! Go all out! Target the castle underneath!"
With a roar, the giant dragon releases a mighty roar before releasing a massive fireball that engulfes the entire Black Castle, reducing the ancient castle to rubble from the explosion. Sadly, for the people running away from Castle Black and Mole's Town, Alduin is not done.
He dives down and releases a torrent of fire from his mouth, and burns the rest of the town and the towers.
Many people scream in horror as they run away from the town. Viserys will not chase them, but he will make sure to kill anyone who stays back and fights. He might not be that savage to hunt down retreating smallfolk, but he is not that naive to let the fighting people live.
After a few minutes of burning and destruction, Viserys makes Alduin stop land next to the burning castle. However, as they land on the ground, they can see an old man waiting for them next to the burning city.
The old man looks at them and bows a little.
"Greeting, O Great Dragon."
Viserys looks at the old man and says.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Aemon Targaryen, Son of Maekar I Targaryen."
Viserys remembers him. He is the maester of the Black Watch and the one advising Jon Snow in his journey to be a man. He is the only Targaryen left in Westeros after the Robert Rebellion.
"What do you want? Do you have a problem with me destroying the castle?"
"Nay," He shakes his head and continues, "I don't have a problem with you destroying the Black Castle. However, there will be a problem if you destroy the Wall."
"And I don't have any intention of destroying the Wall."
"Good for Westeros will not last against the Others if you decide to destroy the wall."
"Do you believe in the existence of the Others?"
"Of course." He nods his head. "Only a fool will ignore the history book that the people in the past wrote."
"Many of them think of those books as a myth, not a fact. That includes your fellow Maesters."
"They are all fools."
Viserys shakes his head and says.
"And what do you want? I cannot let you return to Winterfell or King's Landing."
The older man shakes his head and says.
"I don't want to return to the place where I will be killed. In fact, the reason why I come here is to ask for your mercy, Your Highness. Give me mercy and take me to your kingdom. When I saw your dragon flying from my tower, I knew you would destroy this place and hide in my hideout in the forest."
"You want to come with me? Why?"
"Serving Targaryen is always my goal. However, some of the lords decide to banish me to this place and make me the maester of the Black Castle. Let me spend the rest of my lifespan serving a true Targaryen, Your Highness."
Viserys looks at him for a second and releases a sigh. He looks at Melisandre and sees her nod her head.
"Very well. I shall come and pick you up after I am done with my job here. Go to your hideout for a moment. I will return in half to one hour."
"I understand, Your Highness."
Aemon nods his head and walks to the forest to prepare for his departure, while Viserys and Melisandre climb on Alduin and fly to the sky.
"Where should we go next, Melisandre? Should we go to the west? Or go to the east?"
If they go west, they will attack the Shadow Castle, the small keep where another group of Night's Watch stay, and block the movement of the Wildlings from the Northwest. If they go to the east, they will arrive at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea Castle. It is a keep at the easternmost part of the Gift and the Wall. This place is the one with the most ships because they are the one that has trade between the Southern and the Braavos.
"We shall go east, my lord. We need to secure the port for the others to use. They are already waiting long enough, and according to Lord R'hlor, a storm is coming, and the one hiding in Skagos Island will face doom if we do not move soon."
As part of the plan, they divide their force into three instead of two, like the Westerosi think they are. The first defends Fenris, the second defends the Naval Base of Skane, and the third hides in the eastern part of Skagos island.
He needs people to defend the newly taken castle and city when the news of his taking them over the castle reaches the enemies. Alduin is powerful, but Viserys knows he cannot go to two places simultaneously.
His job is to take over castles and cities, but he cannot defend them at the same time. This is where the others come in.
And he has one more city to take after the conquest of the Wall, Brandon's Gift and New Gift. However, that is for the later plan. It is the first stage of the reconquest of the Seven Kingdoms.
"Very well. Let's go east."
Viserys orders Alduin to go east to conquer another castle.
==||==
"Dammit! How can we not defeat them already?! It has been seven days since we arrived here!"
Robert roars in anger as he looks at the map in front of him. The wall between them and the base prevented them from defeating Leman Russ and his army. Leman led the army greatly and carefully used the thick wall Viserys had made for the naval base.
They use scorching hot sand for anyone who gets close to the wall by heating up the sand Viserys gets from the Minecraft world. He also carefully uses the cannon on top of the wall to aim for the Siege engine they manage to create. The crossbows are also great because they can shoot their bolts behind a cover, ensuring they do not get hit by enemy archers.
Combine all of these, and you have an enemy that is very annoying and deadly.
And that is what they are facing right now.
"We cannot stay here much longer. We are running out of food."
Robert looks to the side and glares at the maester who comes with him.
"Gather the others and prepare for another set of ladders. Use every wood from that damned Haunted Forest to our west. This will be the last charge."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
He then looks at the rest of the lords who joined this war and says,
"Prepare your men. Tell them to rest. Tomorrow, we will crush them. They are also running out of food. The same with their men. His men are running out from the constant battle. We will crush them with all we have and overwhelm them."
Sadly for him, tomorrow he will encounter some surprising news. The news that changed the flow of the war.
