As the huge army led by Daenerys marches to the north, the mood of the residents of the north becomes increasingly complicated.They not only expect external reinforcements to help them, but they are also wary of these unfamiliar faces.In this tense atmosphere, Arya accidentally saw Snow in the crowd, but Snow's attention did not seem to be focused on her.
Suddenly, there were loud noises in the sky, and the two dragons brought by Daenerys appeared in the sky.This sudden sight made people who saw the flying dragon for the first time panic and fled back home.However, for the army, the arrival of the dragon was like a shot in the arm, and morale instantly rose.
Snow reunites with Bran and Sansa after a long absence in Winterfell.He introduced his younger brothers and sisters to Daenerys, but before they could exchange greetings, Bran brought a shocking news: the originally dead silver dragon Viserion was actually controlled by the Night King, and the Great Wall had been breached, the death army is coming south.
Snow once gave up his position as King of the North in order to find reinforcements. This move caused dissatisfaction among many people.Sansa summoned the lords of the North to discuss plans to fight the White Walkers.At the meeting, Snow responded to everyone's doubts. His frankness and determination won the support of Tyrion and others.They believe it is respectable for Snow to give up the throne for the sake of the greater good.
However, Sansa is worried about the coming large number of allies.She feared that Winterfell's resources would not be sufficient to support such an army.Tyrion understands Sansa's grudge against the Lannister family, and he tries to comfort Sansa, telling her that Cersei has promised to send troops north to support her.But Sansa doesn't have high hopes for this.
Arya and Snow were deeply moved when they met.Snow hopes that Arya can mediate in front of Sansa so that she will not reject Daenerys too much.Arya said she would support Sansa's decision because they were all family, and Snow shouldn't forget that.
In the Iron Islands, after Qyburn learned that the White Walkers were heading south, he immediately informed Cersei.Cersei seemed extremely happy about this, and she seemed to see a chance to defeat Daenerys and Snow.Euron Greyjoy followed Cersei's arrangements and found 20,000 reinforcements from the Golden Company.Cersei is satisfied with this, and Euron takes the opportunity to ask for marriage with Cersei.Although Cersei has no love for Euron, she agrees to his request.
After rescuing Asha, who was kidnapped by Euron, Theon learned of the status of Daenerys' army.Asha suggests that they take advantage of the opportunity to retake the Iron Islands, as they can serve as a retreat for Daenerys' forces.However, Theon decides to go to Winterfell to help the Starks.Asha understood her brother's mood and agreed with his decision.
The major families in the north gradually arrived at Winterfell with their armies.Davos worries that the Northmen are dissatisfied with Sansa's rule because they only owe allegiance to Snow.He hopes that Daenerys and Snow can rule the Seven Kingdoms together after defeating the Night King.However, Varys and Tyrion are concerned that Snow and Daenerys may not heed their advice.
Daenerys is worried that her two remaining dragons are eating less because they are not used to the north.She takes Snow with her to calm the dragon and encourage him to ride Rhaegal.The two rode dragons and circled over Winterfell. This scene shocked everyone present.Daenerys was satisfied with Snow's performance, and the two embraced and kissed on the dragon's back.
Meanwhile, Sandor seeks help from Gendry in forging weapons.Although there were difficulties in the casting process, Arya's presence made Gendry happy.She asks Gendry to forge a new weapon for her.Snow also assured Sansa that he only found Daenerys to protect the North and everyone, and that he did not want the throne or title.However, Sansa still has her doubts about why Snow defends Daenerys so much.
Sam is devastated when he learns the news of his family's execution from Daenerys.At this time, Bran found him, hoping that he could tell Snow the truth about his life experience.After Sam meets Snow, he relays Bran's words to him.Snow was surprised and regretful when he learned that he was the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.
Near the Wall, the Dondarrion brothers survived.They discover that Lord Umber, who was originally sent by Sansa to find reinforcements, has died at the hands of the Night King.This made them realize that the Army of the Dead was approaching Winterfell and they needed to get back as soon as possible.
At the same time, James, who rushed to the north alone, met Bran as soon as he settled in Winterfell.His appearance surprises Bran and makes the situation in Winterfell more complicated.
Within the ancient stone walls of Winterfell, Game of Thrones is quietly taking place.Daenerys, the mother of dragons from the south, is furious at Cersei's betrayal.James, the former Kingsguard, now comes to this land of ice and snow with complex emotions and missions.His arrival undoubtedly brought more variables to Winterfell.
Jaime's arrival makes both Daenerys and Sansa feel uneasy.They couldn't forget what James had done in the past and were suspicious of him.However, Brienne's firm assurance allowed Sansa to temporarily let down her guard.Snow also sees the value of James, especially in the current shortage of manpower.Although Daenerys was unwilling, she finally accepted Jaime's joining and allowed him to become a member of the resistance against the Army of the Death.
Meanwhile, Daenerys's anger towards Tyrion is spreading.She believed Tyrion had failed in his duties as Prime Minister and was even angry at him for failing to prevent Cersei's betrayal.Although Tyrion felt wronged, he also understood his situation.He tried to explain to Daenerys, but Daenerys couldn't hear any explanation.
In another corner of Winterfell, the relationship between Arya and Gendry is also quietly developing.Arya admires Gendry's craftsmanship, and Gendry admires Arya's bravery and intelligence.The feelings between the two gradually heat up, and finally in an unexpected encounter, they cross that boundary.
Jaime's life at Winterfell was not easy.Not only does he have to face the shadow of the past, but he also has to face everyone's suspicion and distrust.However, he didn't give up.He found Bran, apologized for the past, and got Bran's forgiveness.His chance encounter with Tyrion also strengthened his belief.He knows that no matter what happened in the past, he must fight for the living.
In the shadow of war, the residents of Winterfell are struggling to survive.Davos distributed food in the city, and Gilly helped arrange for women, children, and the elderly to hide in caves.The arrival of the two brothers Tormund and Beric also brought new hope and strength to Winterfell.They brought news about Hearth City and the Umber family, as well as the bad news about the coming of the Death Army.
Winterfell's military leaders begin to deploy plans against the Legion of Death.Bran offers to use himself as bait to lure the Night King out, and Theon says he will stay with Bran to protect him.Although Tyrion was arranged to hide in the crypt, he did not give up his curiosity about Bran's story.His small talk with James also revealed the deep friendship between the two.
In the biting cold wind, the walls of Winterfell looked extremely strong, but the people under the walls felt extremely heavy.The approach of the Death Army cast a tense atmosphere over the entire city.The Union soldiers lined up neatly under the city wall, their eyes firm and determined, and Daenerys also came with her two dragons to help.
In the night, Melisandre's figure suddenly appeared.She walked towards Jorah and ordered him to lead his men with their swords raised.Melisandre gently held a sword and chanted a spell. Surprisingly, everyone's weapons instantly burst into flames.Although Davos was wary of Melisandre's appearance, she told him that she would die before dawn, which made Davos somewhat relieved.
Jorah led the vanguard into a brave charge against the Death Legion, their fires dazzling in the night.However, as the vanguard gradually disappeared from sight, the remaining people could only wait anxiously for news from the battlefield.Daenerys could no longer sit idly by and decided to join the battle herself, riding a dragon and hovering over the army with Jon Snow.The flames spouted by the flying dragon temporarily turned the tide of the battle, but the storm brought by the Night King made the flying dragon's actions extremely difficult.
On the city wall, Arya led the archers to shoot the White Walkers with rockets. Her arrows were accurate and powerful, and each shot could take away the life of a White Walker.However, as the White Walkers continued to close in on the city walls, the fighting became increasingly fierce.Eddie unfortunately died in the battle to protect Sam. His sacrifice strengthened people's determination to resist.
Daenerys and Snow rode dragons through the storm, trying to give the Union forces a chance to win.However, as the troops outside the city suffered heavy casualties, they had to choose to retreat back to the city.The White Walkers followed closely behind, and their numbers were huge and growing, posing a huge threat to Winterfell.
In the tombs, Sansa and Tyrion wait anxiously for news of the battle.Although they cannot directly participate in the battle, their hearts are closely connected with everyone on the battlefield.Bran and Theon were waiting nearby as planned. Theon expressed his regrets about the past to Bran, and Bran told him that the past is the past, and what matters is the present and the future.
As the White Walkers continued to attack the city, the battle became more intense and brutal.The appearance of the giants made the battle situation more complicated. Their huge bodies and strength made it impossible for people to get close.However, Lyanna bravely charged at the giant and successfully defeated it through cunning and courage.
Arya carefully avoided the attacks of the White Walkers in the city. She fought tenaciously against the White Walkers, showing amazing perseverance and courage.Her new weapons make her more handy in battle, and the addition of Sandor Clegane, the hound, also brings some relief to the situation.
However, the arrival of the Night King made the battle tense again.He rode an ice dragon and hovered in the air, constantly causing trouble for the coalition forces.Snow and Daenerys fight off the Night King's attacks, but their power seems to be no match for the Night King's.In the fierce battle, Rhaegal was injured and fell to the ground, and Drogon was entangled by the White Walkers and unable to escape.
At the most critical moment, Arya appears.Using her speed and skill, she managed to get close to the Night King and stabbed him with her own dagger.With the fall of the Night King, the entire White Walkers army collapsed in an instant.The Union Army achieved final victory, but the price of victory was heavy.
After the battle, Jorah succumbed to his injuries, and Daenerys was devastated by his death.Melisandre also left Winterfell after the battle. She took off the tarnished ruby, her hair gradually turned white, and finally fell in the snow.Her passing made people feel regretful and reluctant, but the strength and courage she showed will remain in people's hearts forever.
In the intertwining of power, Bronn's appearance is like a cold wind, bringing serious news to Jaime and Tyrion.He makes it clear that Cersei sent him with the intention of ending both men's lives.However, Bronn had other plans in mind. He saw the future direction and firmly believed that Daenerys would be the ultimate winner of this game.Faced with such Bronn, Tyrion cleverly proposed a deal: if Bronn could transfer the territory of Highgarden to him after victory in the war, he promised to let Jaime and himself go.Bronn weighed the pros and cons, finally accepted the offer, and turned to leave.
At the same time, Clegane's departure also took away Arya's attention.She followed his back and disappeared into the distant sky.Tyrion finds Sansa and tries to convince her to ally with Daenerys.He knows that provoking Daenerys will do no good to the North, and firmly believes that Daenerys has the potential to change the continent.However, Sansa hides the secret of Jon Snow's identity, which prevents her from easily loyal to Daenerys.
Snow is about to leave for King's Landing, and Gilly and Sam's farewells are full of affection and reluctance.Jilly's pregnancy news surprised Snow, and she expressed her hope that if it were a boy, she would name him after Snow.This detail not only shows the deep emotion between the two, but also foreshadows the subsequent story.
Tyrion learns Snow's true identity from Sansa, a news that shocks both him and Varys.Both are concerned about Daenerys' future, as Jon Snow's identity could spark a new power struggle.
The encounter between Daenerys' fleet and the Golden Company became the turning point of the entire story.Rhaegal's unexpected death puts Daenerys and her dragon Drogon into an unprecedented dilemma.The fleet was attacked and everyone could only temporarily retreat to the shore.This defeat dealt a huge blow to Daenerys' power and made her uneasy about the upcoming decisive battle.
At this time in King's Landing, Cersei was celebrating her victory.Euron asked her for credit for Rhaegal's downing, and she told Euron that she was pregnant with his child.This news makes Euron ecstatic and makes Cersei's ambitions even more inflated.She is determined to use the child to solidify her position and continue her fight against Daenerys.
Missandei was kidnapped back to King's Landing by Euron and became a pawn in Cersei's hands.She lets the people into the city as leverage against Daenerys.Varys advises Daenerys not to attack King's Landing to avoid harming innocent people.However, the angry Daenerys refused to listen to any advice and was determined to regain the throne at any cost.
In the conversation between Tyrion and Varys, both expressed their expectations for Snow to become king.They believe that Snow has a wiser decision-making ability than Daenerys and can lead the continent to peace and prosperity.However, they are also aware of Daenerys' determination and ambition, and can only hope that she will make wise choices.
News came from Winterfell, and Jaime decided to return to King's Landing after learning that the fleet was raided.Brienne tries to stop him, but Jaime insists that he is as guilty as Cersei and cannot escape his fate.His passing left Brienne feeling deeply helpless and sad.
Eventually, Daenerys led an army to surround King's Landing.Qyburn's appearance brings a cruel condition: if Daenerys does not surrender, Cersei will kill Missandei on the spot.Faced with such a threat, Tyrion tried to persuade Cersei to let go, but Cersei relentlessly made Missandei say the fatal “dragonfire”.As Missandei's head fell to the ground, Daenerys' anger reached its peak.She turned around and walked back to her army, her eyes flashing with the flames of revenge.
In Game of Thrones, the fate of every character is closely linked to King's Landing.Varys, as the court's counselor, had hoped that Daenerys could lead the kingdom to peace and prosperity.However, when Daenerys refuses to eat due to grief, Varys is deeply concerned.He seeks help from Martha to understand Daenerys' condition, but Martha's response only makes him feel more anxious.
At the same time, the northern army was about to arrive in King's Landing, but Snow arrived early.Varys reveals Daenerys' situation to him and expresses his hopes for Snow to sit on the Iron Throne.However, Snow made it clear that he never intended to do this.This gap between expectations and reality made Wallis begin to reflect on his own judgment.
As Daenerys' advisor, Tyrion is also aware of Varys's expectations.He believes that Varys, like himself, has good intentions and hopes that the world will become a better place.However, Daenerys expressed doubts about this, believing that Varys's views were only based on his own position and interests.
With Varys being captured, his fate begins to take a turn.He confesses to Tyrion that he sincerely hopes he is wrong about the Queen, but he is not.This kind of helplessness and regret makes people feel sorry for his fate.
In anger, Daenerys sentenced Varys to death and ordered Drogon to use dragonfire to cremate him on the spot.This scene undoubtedly heightened the tension in King's Landing and raised questions about Daenerys' decision.
Meanwhile, Jaime attempts to return to King's Landing, but is stopped by Daenerys' army.Tyrion advises him to bide his time, but Jaime is concerned about the safety of Cersei and the children.He finally decided to take a chance and try to persuade Cersei to surrender.
In King's Landing, Clegane and Arya are also preparing for the upcoming war.Arya vows to kill Cersei to prevent more war.Tyrion managed to unshackle Jaime and let him persuade Cersei to surrender.
However, the cruelty of war is far beyond people's imagination.Daenerys used Drogon to destroy Euron's Golden Company fleet, but then she let the dragonfire destroy many buildings and innocent people in King's Landing in anger.The Unsullied also slaughtered the opponent's already unarmed soldiers in the battle.All of this has plunged King's Landing into a state of tragedy.
Jaime fought Euron in a fierce battle beneath the Red Keep, eventually killing him.But when he arrived at the Red Keep, he found that Cersei had nowhere to escape.When the castle collapsed, Jaime and Cersei hugged each other and were buried in the ruins.This scene makes people lament the impermanence and cruelty of fate.
Arya was unfortunately injured during her escape, but she insisted on escaping with the kindhearted people who saved her.In the ruins, she saw the cruelty and ruthlessness of power, as well as the brilliance and kindness of human nature.
King's Landing was reduced to ruins in the war.But in this tragedy, people also began to reflect on the true meaning and value of power.Perhaps true peace and prosperity can only be achieved when we truly understand and respect each other's differences and rights.
At the moment when Daenerys stopped the dragon flame attack, Tyrion, Snow and Davos walked on the once prosperous and now devastated streets of King's Landing.Their footsteps were heavy, and everywhere they looked were the cruel traces of war - the dead streets, the remains of the dead, and the people who were still groaning in pain after being burned.The smoke of war has not yet dissipated, and its shadow has been deeply imprinted on everyone's heart.
Tyrion chose to go alone, and his heart was filled with confusion and grief.He searched along the escape route originally planned for Cersei and Jaime, and finally found their bodies under a pile of rubble.Seeing the Machiavellian family in the former palace end up like this, Tyrion felt mixed emotions and grief.
Meanwhile, Snow and Davos are trying to stop Gray Worm from massacring the captives.However, Gray Worm's determination was strong and he could not accept his enemy's survival.Although Snow and Davos tried hard to persuade, they could not change Gray Worm's decision.
On the high platform of the Red Keep, Daenerys slowly appeared, her face filled with the joy of a winner.She appointed Gray Worm as Minister of War and promised the Unsullied that he would lead them to liberate all people on this continent.However, for Tyrion, this victory brought deep disappointment and uneasiness.He believed that Daenerys had betrayed her original intention by slaughtering an entire city in order to win.So when Daenerys demands his surrender, Tyrion firmly refuses.
Snow stood aside and witnessed all this.He is full of contradictions. On the one hand, he loves Daenerys deeply, but on the other hand, he also sees the cruelty and wrongness in her behavior.Arya found Snow, and she was keenly aware of Daenerys' murderous intention towards Snow.This made Snow even more entangled.
In prison, Tyrion tells Snow that there is more to the war than meets the eye.Daenerys is not really fighting to free her people, she just wants to take this opportunity to rule the entire continent.Tyrion warns Snow that as the legal heir to the Iron Throne, he is now in a very dangerous situation.Also, his sisters will not be loyal to Daenerys.Therefore, Snow must clarify his position and make a choice as soon as possible.
Snow finally decides to meet Daenerys.He saw the Iron Throne that she longed for, and heard her vision of building a new world.However, when Snow confronts her about the massacre, Daenerys' response disappoints him.She believed that she had to make sacrifices in order to build a better world, and even believed that Snow and she were destined to build a new world together.However, the balance in Snow's heart has tilted.After promising to always treat Daenerys as his queen, he stabbed her with a dagger.
Daenerys' death was a huge shock.Drogon felt his mother's death, and it roared out and burned the Iron Throne with dragonfire.However, it does not harm Snow and simply leaves with Daenerys' body.Gray Worm takes Tyrion out of his cell, and the major families gather again to discuss the future.
Tyrion proposes that a new leader needs to be elected as soon as possible to lead everyone into the future.However, the major families have different ideas and it is difficult to reach an agreement.Eventually, Tyrion proposed Bran as the new king.He believes that Bran has experienced many hardships and tests and is qualified for this important task.In everyone's discussion and voting, Bran received unanimous approval and became the new king.
After Bran became king, his first order was to make Tyrion his Hand.However, Tyrion sees this as punishment for the rest of his life.Gray Worm thinks this punishment is not enough.In the end, the new king decided to banish Snow to the Night's Watch and deprive him of the right to marry and fief.Although Snow didn't know whether he made the right decision, he still embarked on the road to exile.
Gray Worm takes the Unsullied to Naath, and Sansa becomes Queen of the North.Arya decides to explore the far west of Westeros, and Snow apologizes to Bran and gets his forgiveness.After the four brothers and sisters said goodbye, they each embarked on a new journey.
