Therefore, the Night King is not the final big BOSS!
Many people complained that the tactical level of this episode is worrying. The most typical one is to abandon the fence and go out to the city gate to fight. The first male protagonist, Jon Snow, rides a dragon to fight soy sauce. One blow to kill the first big boss Night King and more!
If you're defining the campaign as a close siege, and if you've forgotten a lot about the first seven seasons, the writers' tactical level is really naive.
But from the personal perspective of the ultimate strategist, Snow, the current supreme commander of the North, and Mother Dragon, this tactic is understandable.
First of all, in the eyes of Jon Snow and Mother Long, this is a battle that must be defeated, but it is also a battle that human beings will lose forever if they fail. To win in defeat, there is a one-in-a-thousand possibility of attacking the Night King alone.
To be precise, Snow, Mother Dragon believes that the only chance for this battle is that the two ride the dragon to lead the Night King to a decisive battle, and then kill him.
So, all tactics revolve around this only possibility. (The entanglement between the Three-Eyed Raven and the Night King is looming and paradoxical. Jon is not sure that he and the Dragon Mother are both fearless leaders, so he prioritizes relying on himself to end the final battle, even at the expense of himself. !)
First, the wall in the north is not the kind of city in ancient China, but a typical medieval European castle, which is not large in scale and can accommodate a limited number of people. In order to fight against the death army, a vast number of human soldiers gathered from all directions, so many soldiers were all hoarded in the castle, which was not only crowded, but also affected the castle's ability to play its defensive function.
Second, around this only viable tactic, the role of the cavalry and infantry outside the city wall was to delay the time for the death army to invade the castle, because the longer the battle dragged on, the better the chance of successfully attacking the Night King. Outside the city walls are cannon fodder, while women and children are hidden in the cellar to preserve a little hope after the victory of mankind. (Human cannon fodder has free will, and they face death without turning back, so the word cannon fodder is accurate but not in line with our feelings. The word "hero" is too vague!)
Third, this tactic proved successful at first, except that the cavalry died too quickly. Not only did he successfully stop the first wave of the Death Army's offensive, it also led to the Night King.
Fourth, as soon as the Night King appeared, Snow and Dragon Mother immediately gave up the frontal battlefield. This has also been criticized by many people, but in fact, this is completely correct. The fire dragon's breathing ability seems to have a certain upper limit. If it exceeds this upper limit, it needs to rest and accumulate.
And the night king is not dead, the death army is endless, so there is no need to waste the limited flame on the endless cannon fodder on the front!
Fifth, Snow, Mother Dragon successfully led out the Night King, the decisive battle between the three dragons began, and the Night King crashed. Everything was going according to the envisaged tactics. At this time, the biggest variable appeared, the Night King was not afraid of Longyan at all. With Jon's crash, the Night King launched the resurrection secret. At this time, the only way to survive is gone, and mankind has lost the battle for survival. Humanity is facing extinction, Xu Nuo and Mother Long are disheartened.
Sixth, in the face of the lover, he rushed into the death army without hesitation, rescued the three-eyed crow, and looked for the second weak vitality. As a woman and leader, the rational Dragon Mother expressed her support at the first time, but her sensibility made her feel hopeless at this time, so the Dragon Mother's mentality collapsed first! At this time, the dragon was attacked by the miscellaneous soldiers. In fact, this is not the first time that the Dragon Mother took a nap on the battlefield. In the last season, after the dragon flames scorched the Queen's Legion, the Dragon Mother went to the ground and was almost attacked by the king killer. It's just that the dragon around her wasn't much consumed that time, and a dragon flame sprayed away the sneak attacker. As the mount and guardian of the Dragon Mother, the Fire Dragon is the most loyal partner and the existence with the highest force value in the entire continent. Therefore, Mother Dragon did not develop the habit of vigilance on the battlefield at all, and Long Yan took care of everything. This time the situation is very different. The fire dragon wasted too much flame on the miscellaneous soldiers, and was disturbed by the blizzard. During the flight, sand and stones were thrown, and chicken feathers were scattered all over the place. It seemed that the loss was not small. The decisive battle of the three dragons should have exhausted the last trace of dragon flame and energy of the fire dragon. This time, the miscellaneous soldiers' sneak attack was something that Long Yan could easily handle a few times, but Huo Long was powerless. So the dragon mother crashed, and the fire dragon escaped with injuries. In the end, the uncle of the bear clan died for love!
Finally, about Erya's one-shot fatality and killing the big boss Night King, it seems very unreasonable, but it is very reasonable.
The director has paved the way for seven seasons, creating the invincibility of Longyan, the painstaking efforts of Erya, and the invincibility of the Night King. The Night King's only weaknesses are fire and dragonglass. Now it turns out that the Night King is not afraid of dragon flames at all. As long as the screenwriter is a normal person, it is impossible for humans to lose this battle, (in case humans lose, will the remaining episodes allow us to watch the Queen and the Night King? Haha!) So no matter how difficult this battle is, Humanity must triumph in the end, so the Night King must die.
If you don't die in dragon flame, you must die in dragon crystal.
If you don't die of the dragon mother, you will die in Erya!
Tribute to the Night King! So he's not the last big boss!
Empress Se is not the last boss, as long as human beings still exist, greed is the biggest boss!
Human beings are shameful because of endless greed and great because of love.
I think maybe that's the theme of the final season!
