Chapter 777
"After receiving the news of the collapse of the Wall, I could not sleep or eat, and sure enough, a few days later I set up a tower outside the town and found the trace of Wights.
When leaving the Wall, the commander The Thenn's are not allowed to take away Dragonglass weapons, we only have a few Dragonglass daggers from beyond the wall.
At first I also tried to organize the defense, but there are too many Wights. In beyond the wall Having dealt with them for a few years, I understand that the meet force with force Karhold is bound to fall."
"That's my son, the newborn son, the only son," Sigorn cried and roared, "I Would you like to give him to the Others?
I would like to be a hero if there is a little resistance, but I am not!
I am not you, not the Child of Prophecy , can't deal with them, can't be a hero.
I'm useless, I'm cowardly, but I still have the responsibility to protect the clansman and the people of the territory."
"patriarch!" The guards of the Thenn clan cried out in grief.
"Lord Earl!" The castle servants, the little brother in the stable, the kitchen dama and other North people who came to hear the sound were also excited and their eyes were red.
——In just half a year, he conquered the hearts of North people as beyond the wall Wildlings, this Sigorn is not simple!
Dany frowned and glanced around, "Do you know what he did?"
"Everyone in Karhold knows that Lord Earl offered to Cold God to make Others go away. sacrificed oneself's only son," a bearded Knight said solemnly.
Knight's words didn't make waves in the crowd, apparently an open secret at Karhold.
"You have the guts to reveal such a deadly secret in order to buy people's hearts." Dany sneered.
Thenn Earl smiled miserably, "Can't hide it. You don't think Cold God's appetite is so small that only one Earl's son is satisfied?
This is only the first time.
One thousand draws, one thousand subjects contribute one baby boy.
Every year from now on, we must sacrifice more than ten baby boys to Cold God, Unless, I can sacrifice another son.
Earl's son, the bloodline is noble, it is more useful to them."
"Hi--" Grey Worm behind Dany has always been calm, this Shi couldn't help but change color, "If other castles follow suit, Others will only kill more and more in the future, and human beings will never want to end Long Night."
Dragon Queen coldly said: " Sacrifice to Others is a great sin of betrayal of mankind, you crime deserving ten thousand deaths!"
"I—" Sigorn raised his head, and he was once again engulfed by dragon soul, Dragon's in purple eyes. Photographed by Might, "I'm guilty, but I don't have a choice!"
"You don't have a choice, and he doesn't have a choice, and then the whole world is ruled by Others, frozen in eternity. At that time , you really don't have a choice, only the dead end!"
After finishing speaking, Dany swung his sword to split.
"clang clang clang --" A series of sword-drawing sounds resounded around.
"Let go of Lord Earl!" Both the Wildlings guard and the North Knight drew their swords and approached the Dragon Queen, and further afield, the bowman glare like a tiger watching his prey.
"Dare to draw a sword at me?" Dany looked around all around, "I don't know what's dead or alive."
"whiz whiz whiz ——" A huge giant suspended at a height of ten meters The Fireball spun around suddenly, shooting out clusters of bright red fire snakes as thick as thumbs and as long as arms.
Each fire snake finds a soldier who points a sword or a crossbow at the Dragon Queen, no less than one, all Dragonflame to wash his face.
"ao ao ao ——" In the blink of an eye, thirty or forty soldiers were screaming and rolling with their burning heads in all directions.
A bit like Ghost Rider from the Marvel movies.
The scene of the human-shaped candle was too terrifying. The Knight and the soldiers, who were a bit slower, seemed to have been scalded by the hilt of oneself's sword and hurriedly released their hands.
Then one by one, their eyes widened, glaring at the Dragon Queen with the eyes they were looking at Others.
No, when I saw the Others yesterday, their expressions were all less fearful and repulsive.
"No, no, Queen Your Majesty, leave us alone!" A brown-haired girl in a golden fox fur stumbled out of the castle and came to Sigorn's edge, kneeling and weeping.
"Queen Your Majesty, mercy, mercy! As long as there is a way to live, and we don't want to sacrifice Others, that's my son!"
This is a tall, thin girl, Has Stark's characteristic long face and grey eyes.
He seems to be sick at this time, his eyes are dull, his face is pale as snow, his breath is weak, and his voice is weak.
Dany immediately guessed that she was Karstark's only daughter, who was beheaded by Robb, Alys, and Sigorn's wife.
"What you are doing is cutting off other people's way of life and cutting off the future of the entire human race." Dragon Queen's expression was firm and her tone was cold.
"Put, puff, puff!" Earl Lady knelt down, her Knight knelt, and a group of guards led by Knight knelt down together, and from a distance, looked at Dragon Queen's Karhold servants, commoners in horror , also resisted the fear of Demon Dragon, stepped forward and knelt behind Earl and Earl Lady.
"Mercy, mercy!" Hundreds of thousands of people shouted at the Dragon Queen with their terrified eyes.
At this moment, Dragon Queen is no different from the Others who besieged the city yesterday. They are enemies who disturb their peaceful lives and cannot afford to offend.
"You really—" At this moment, Dany's expression changed.
"Dragon Queen, if Lord Earl doesn't send out the little Earl, we will all die, we don't want to die! My child is so young, only two years old, he has never even seen Summer, wu wu wu... ..." a middle-aged woman cried.
Her cry was like flipping a horn switch, and a series of crying, begging, and even complaining came one after another, forming a tsunami of language and emotion, which instantly drowned Dragon Queen.
"There are so many Wights, boundless, I can't see the end, Lord Earl is ready to resist, but he can't beat it! We don't want to die, what can we do if we don't sacrifice to Cold God?"
>"Queen Your Majesty, please be kind, kill Earl, what will we do next time Others come!"
"Queen Your Majesty, you have dragons, you are powerful, but you Why didn't you come yesterday? Come, we don't have to sacrifice Others!"
"What's the use of killing Lord Earl now? Kill him, can you save us all?
It can't be saved, we still have to sacrifice to Others.
Or, if you kill us all, death ends all one's troubles, and there will be no Others, no Long Night! "
"You have the time and energy to toss our little Karhold, it's better to kill the Others King earlier. End Long Night, drive the Others away, and we don't have to sacrifice to the monster anymore!"
......
Dany's face was tight, and he was angry, angry and... helpless.
If these unruly people are not punished, the "United Front Against Ghosts" may become her one-man show.
How to punish?
Does it really kill Karhold?
The castle is connected to the market town outside. It is estimated that the total population is over 10,000. Most of them are civilians, and most of them are women and children. Are they all burned to death?
Theoretically, she should have burned the entire Karhold on a dragon at this point.
Tu Wan, be an example!
A Karhold provides ten Others a year, how many Karholds does North have?
How many Karholds does Westeros have?
Let this situation develop, and don't try to kill Others for ten years.
Others don't die, how does Long Night end?
But she couldn't do it.
At this moment, Dany reluctantly admits that oneself still lacks some courage.
Perhaps, she lacks a "Westeros Maester Lai" more than courage.
The Maester Lai in Slaver's Bay is useless, must have the local Maester Lai in Westeros.
At the end of the day, she shouldn't be doing this dirty work. She was also stupid this time to bring people to Karhold.
"puff!" The sword light flashed, and Sigorn's right arm was broken at the elbow.
"Ah—" Sigorn wailed, and Alys and the surrounding soldiers and servants exclaimed loudly.
"I am not the King in the North, nor the King of the Seven Kingdoms, and have no right to put an Earl to death, but Stark and Iron Throne will definitely give the world an explanation for the righteous people who fight against the Others."
Dropping a salutary cannon, the Dragon Queen extinguishes the Fireball, spreads its fire wings, and leaps into the dark sky.
......
"Just let them go?" Garth said unwillingly.
Failed to return, Dragon Queen is suffocated, and her group of little brothers who have come from thousands of miles are also suffocated.
“What do you think we should do?” Dany asked rhetorically.
Silence for a moment, Garth shouted: "Kill one, we have no choice!"
"Do you want Queen to ride a dragon to burn Karhold?" Big Bear was a little excited, "That would make She is hated by all North people, and we dare not live in Winterfell anymore."
"It is time to use thunderbolt means at special times. When Grey Plague appeared in Oldtown, my great-grandfather spread the word to the entire Seven Kingdoms to stop the epidemic. spread, and ordered soldiers to kill everyone who tried to flee?
Whether men, women, or babies in their arms.
His orders proved cruel , but very correct.
The epidemic has always been contained in Oldtown, and even if half of the people in Oldtown died, there was not a single case of the disease in the surrounding cities.”
Garth speaks slowly and in his tone. With a touch of pride.
Dany Muran, your Old Ancestor did the right thing, but why don't you talk about his ending?
"This is North, we should a guest will comply with the wishes of the host." Dragon Queen said solemnly.
They did not return to Winterfell immediately, but went to the nearby Shivering Sea to hunt a whale.
Big Black Little White Little Green Three dragons dived into the seabed together, and it took more than half an hour to find an adult humpback whale.
No other reason than that the Wyverns were hungry and Winterfell lacked fresh meat to feed them.
After a good meal, the forty Wyverns divided into two, one team returned to Winterfell with the armor Unsullied, the other flew to Dragonstone.
In addition to the Dragonglass weapons, they also needed to airlift a shipment of Wildfire rounds loaded with Tyrion oil.
Barristan will, on behalf of the Dragon Queen, request a batch of Wildfire from King's Landing, at least one hundred tons.
Dany didn't want to put in a lot of troops in the Battle of Winterfell, but he really did everything he could to arm the North.
......
Let's say that Sansa and Dragon Queen left Winterfell at the same time, and flew all the way to Vale with a big belly. The first time they didn't go to Second Stag, they came Go to the North camp and meet Illyrio alone.
Well, Second Stag's main force has moved to the Gates of the Moon, and has successfully occupied Vale's capital.
Theoretically, North's 2,000 cavalry were his subordinates, and they followed, and Illyrio was always "protected" by North's cavalry.
"Aegon is on Heaven." Sansa looked at the sloppy fatty in front of him with a complicated expression.
The palace that once belonged to King Aegon and Queen Sansa belonged to Second Stag and his wife and daughter. At this time, Sansa was in the guest room of the side hall to receive the fat businessman.
He's in bad shape, lethargic, untidy, his fat ruddy face is now a sun-dried red Fuji apple, a pair of dull eyes hearing the word "Aegon" Only when the brilliance of a living person shines.
