Chapter 319
"Don't be in a hurry, don't panic." Castle Black's front yard, Maester Aemon pressed his hands down, persuading the arguing crowd: "Ser Barristan is still here, he represents Queen Daenerys, and he has full authority to deal with Westeros-related matters. affairs.”
Barristan complained in her heart that Queen did not notify oneself, but she did not object to her decision to leave.
There are two reasons: firstly, he knows Queen's ability, oneself has the Magic coordinates left by her on oneself's wrist, and can communicate remotely; secondly, like old Aemon, he is worried that some people will take advantage of the opportunity.
——For Iron Throne, how could he dare to trust Second Stag, who even killed his younger brother?
He is righteous, but righteous people are not necessarily stupid.
"Yes, I'm the Queensguard, White Cloak Captain, representing the Queen with the new camp within the wall Wildlings." White Cloak said resolutely.
Stannis bit his cheek and stared at White Cloak for a while before asking sourly, "Ser, why didn't you go to Dragonstone to find me?"
Barristan didn't expect Second Stag I would suddenly mention this, and then said with a bitter smile: "Stannis Your Majesty, you are all wrong.
After I was stripped of my white robe by Joffrey, I never thought about going to any other company. King.
Really.
You and Duke Renly are Joffrey's uncles—"
"Joffrey is not Robert's son." Stannis angrily interrupt him.
"Everyone recognizes his identity," White Cloak said noncommittally. "Even if he strips me of my white robe, my honor does not allow oneself to agitate uncle against nephew, so you and Lord Renly both Not in my consideration.
In this case, there is only one King, Robb.
I sympathize with his experience, but will not support the King split.
I was about to go to the country to find a little Sept and dedicate the rest of my life to The Seven."
"Then how did you become her White Cloak?" Stannis gritted his teeth.
"Varys found me."
"Varys?" Stannis exclaimed.
"Yes, while I was praying at the Great Sept of Baelor, his little bird came over and told me about Daenerys Your Majesty.
I couldn't say no , this is a chance for me, a chance to redeem oneself.
But I don't plan to serve a crazy King again. When I saw her, I concealed the identity of oneself and observed her for nearly half a year. I found that She's kind, wise, kind, intelligent..."
"Okay!"
The happy memories of old Knight's face, but Stannis' face is like being forced Ugly like shit, interrupted White Cloak: "Now that she's gone, how can you contact her?"
"How else can I contact her?" White Cloak stared at him, as it should be by rights He said, "Of course it's Raven, I'm always in the Wall? Is there any order for Raven to come to the Wall."
"How do you contact her?" Stannis demanded.
Barristan said, "Let Raven message Dragonstone."
"Dragonstone?
"Dragonstone is the ancestral land of Targaryen!" Aemon frowned.
Stannis gave the old man a grim look and emphasized: "It's my territory now."
"She didn't swear before that she wouldn't be with the garrison before solving Others. Will Wall's forces clash?
Can't the promise of 'not to provoke war' only work in Wall?
We come to support the north, and then she steals our home in the south, Who would dare to leave oneself's Fiefdom to support Wall?"
Second Stag's words are not unreasonable.
For example, if Lannister goes north to Wall to fight Others, can't Dany go and take Casterly Rock?
Just a little bit, Stannis has been adrift at sea for a few months, and the information is a little behind.
"Dragonstone is not yours anymore," Barristan said with a strange expression. "As soon as you left, Lannister took advantage of the emptiness of Dragonstone's defenses and sent thousands of armies to surround the castle. About half a month ago, Ser Loras stormed Dragonstone."
Stannis turned gloomy, turned to old Aemon and asked, "You are Castle Black Maester, why didn't you tell me about this?"
Aemon frowned. Forming a group, he explained slowly: "I don't know either, Citadel hasn't sent Raven to the Wall in recent months."
"How can Citadel care about such a trivial matter?" Perestan wearily Yawning, defending Citadel: "It's too far away. Except for the changing seasons and the big changes in the King's Landing power structure, Citadel won't send letters to the Wall."
"She didn't leave." Melisandre, with her hands tucked into her sleeves, walked from the darkness, and as the voice came, you could see the ruby the size of a pigeon's egg in her throat flickering mysterious red light.
"Daenerys went to North, and it's almost time to come back," she said softly.
"Did you see her in the flames?" Stannis' thin lips pursed into a line, remembering the afternoon when Red Woman was alone in the room, staring at the raging flames in the brazier.
Under what circumstances did she see her?
Looking for Child of Prophecy? Or follow his orders and try to cast shadow magic on her?
Stannis begins to grit his teeth, his cheeks bulging in habit.
Melisandre understood his thoughts just by looking at his expression, and couldn't help sighing to himself. When he met Targaryen riding a dragon, even he began to doubt the authenticity of Child of Prophecy.
It is no wonder that she herself has been shaken: will the prediction be wrong, the real Azor Ahai reincarnation is Daenerys?
But she didn't communicate with R'hllor. When she was looking for Child of Prophecy, she saw Dragon Queen. Stannis' face was still in the flames. A silhouette of a man.
Red Woman glanced vaguely at Jon standing in Night's Watch, lightly coughed, and said slowly: "I feel the imposing manner of Dragon's Might, she is fighting people, a strong enemy, Soul-level battle."
"What enemy?" Barristan said nervously.
"Other's servant! Other has been eyeing her very early, and I reminded her in the afternoon that maybe she finally noticed the crow that fell between her eyebrows." Priestess said resolutely.
Everyone was stupefied, but they also guessed that Dragon Queen's enemy was very powerful.
However, not many worried about her, but some Night's Watch and Second Stag's armored Knight exchanged glances, with a hint of joy and excitement.
White Cloak face changed, eagerly said: "Where is it? I'll go right now."
Red Woman's expression was calm, not too concerned, nor taking pleasure in other people's misfortune, only indifferently said: "It's useless for you to go, the two are fighting at the level of the divine soul, and the battle is over at dusk."
Aemon blue's eyes flashed with concern, "Who won? You said Daenerys Your Majesty is on her way back, she must have won?" asked in a trembling voice.
"Not sure. Whoever wins or loses will not be fatal to either side. The damage will not prevent her from going back to the Wall to rest."
"It's always been hurt a lot, right?" said a stocky Knight with a mouth full of brown and rotten teeth, his eyes twinkling.
Red Woman glanced at him lightly and didn't answer, but the atmosphere in the yard suddenly became hot and dull, and it seemed that a mysterious flame of rays of light rose in everyone's heart.
The old red-nosed Archmaester also noticed the change in everyone's emotions, and his brows could not help but wrinkle, and he changed the subject: "Who is Other, Others?"
"Others are just Others Servant."
"Sigh--" A loud dragon roar came from the southern sky, and a group of people with different thoughts immediately ended their conversation and looked up.
After a few breaths, two huge black shadows passed under the silver-white full moon, and the sound of huge wings flapping was clearly heard.
"Hula hula--" A gust of wind rolled up in the courtyard, White Dragon landed on the stone steps of King's Tower on the east side with a light posture that did not conform to his size and weight, and the energetic voice of Dragon Queen followed It came: "Are you guys watching the moon in the yard?"
"Uh..." The group of people who were looking at her with worry, nervousness and curiosity embarrassed for a moment, before Maester asked Aemon came forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you all right?"
"What can I do?" Dany wondered.
"Ms. Melisandre told us that you fought a powerful enemy in the evening," old Maester wondered.
"Oh, I'm fighting it." Dany glanced at the curiously looking Red Woman, lifted the big crow in his hand, and said with a smile: "Such a big crow, Old Master Have you seen it? After chasing me for a long time, I still wanted to peck my dragon, and finally killed it, I was tired and sweaty."
"Huh?" ? And peck your dragon? What is this crow, is it the Crow God?
Melisandre's eyes flashed, looking back and forth between crow and Dany's smiling faces, half-strummed, and said in a complicated tone: "I didn't expect you to hunt this crow with your oneself ability, I underestimated you."
"Huh?" Everyone was confused, it was just a black crow, although it was bigger than a normal Raven, it can't be considered odd birds and beasts, not just an arrow ?
Dany threw the dead crow on the ground and urged loudly: "If you have time to gather here to talk nonsense, it is better to burn the bodies of today's war dead as soon as possible."
Pomegranate Lord Steward said hesitantly: "Wildlings are easy to handle, but today nearly three hundred Knights died, and Septon Cellador is helping them decorate, and it's not over since noon."
"Then transport the Knights. Store in the cellar and burn the bodies of the beyond the wall Free Folk and common soldiers first. You Night's Watchers should understand how horrible it is to leave dead bodies overnight."
"Even in the cellar, they'd have to put chains on their ankles," Jon reminded.
"Don't worry, Wall has magic power and can block the power of Cold God." Melisandre said softly.
"A year ago, the body was brought back to life under the Wall." Jon frowned.
"It must have been resurrected outside the Wall, deliberately disguised as a corpse and sneaked into Castle Black." Red Woman affirmed.
Ygritte, who had been watching the lively passing through the crowd, glanced cautiously at White Dragon, raised her head and yelled at Dany, "Dragon Queen, we're going to give them their last ride."
>"Who are you?"
"Giant and Free Folk."
"You have to be in shackles when you leave Castle Black," Dany reminded.
......
Outside the Wall, in the open space between the old and new camps, Wildlings built a huge pyre, almost the size of a football field, with stacked lower floors. The half-meter-high pine tree trunks and branches are filled with half-dried leaves and weeds.
The top of the firewood pile was stacked with corpses, which looked amazing, but after asking the number, Dany was surprised that Wildlings had unexpectedly few corpses, only eight Giants, less than a thousand people. Warrior and hundreds of old and weak women and children.
There were also many dead mammoths and war horses, but they were not burned. They were all cut and marinated by Night's Watch and stored in the ice cave under the Wall.
Well, Dany isn't hard-hearted, expecting to die a few more Wildlings in order to get more ectoplasm.
The key is that in the morning she saw Stannis horses stepping into the company camp, and hundreds of thousands of Wildlings rushed into the woods, running and trampling, corpses lying on the bed, and definitely more than 2,000 people died.
Even Giant has more than eight dead.
"Wrong number of people."
