Chapter 779
"I always thought that no one understood the main purpose of my competition for Iron Throne better than you, because you let me know the mission of oneself."
Second Stag looked at the woman beside him with a complicated look. , "Now Long Night has come, Wall is down, Others King fast as lightning charges south, and it won't be long before North falls, and then Riverlands.
Probably, in the next one Within a month, the Others can reach King's Landing, and even Oldtown.
Isn't the savior's responsibility to stop the Others from destroying Westeros?"
Aunt Mel frowned, "I didn't stop you from fulfilling it. The mission of the savior, but now is not the time to challenge the Others King."
She didn't lie. After the Long Night came, the communication with the Lord of Light was much simpler and more precise.
Every time she gazes into the flames and asks when Long Night will end, she can feel R'hllor's will in the fire: Stannis isn't ready.
R'hllor didn't do anything stupid at all, and told Aunt Mel directly, he can't be fooled yet!
"The look in Others King's eyes just now made me tremble with fear. I understand that I may fail under Winterfell, but I'm not afraid!" Second Stag gritted his teeth and said, "Azor Ahai can't solve the Others King all at once, he has been defeated and defeated again and again.
Although he has failed countless times, he has always brought hope to the desperate world.
He can endure failure, and so can I, I will persevere to the end, even if I fail 10,000 times, I will not lose the fighting spirit."
——Do you think anyone can have the opportunity to fail repeatedly? I am afraid that if you fail once, your life will be gone.
If Dany was here, Bacheng would be ranting like this.
Aunt Mel certainly can't complain about oneself's chosen savior.
“There are no two identical Leafs in the world. You are the savior, but your experience with Azor Ahai is not necessarily similar. He can fail many times, but it does not mean you can.” she said Very euphemistic.
"Am I going to die?" Second Stag gritted his teeth.
"You're not ready."
Second Stag took a deep breath and suddenly relaxed both mind and body.
He looked at Aunt Mel with a serious expression, and said seriously: "As long as the world can be saved, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed. From the very beginning, I have this realization.
I can sacrifice, so can Shireen.
But I'm Shireen's father, if I sacrifice her without trying my best, am I still human?
Azor Ahai Forge Red Sword failed so many times in the process, didn't he know that sacrificing his wife was the best?
Every time he tried, he was trying to save oneself's wife.
In the end, after he had done all his attempts, he resolutely sacrificed oneself's wife, and Nissa Nissa knew that her husband had done his best, so he could sacrifice oneself calmly."
Melisandre no Knowing what Azor Ahai thought at that time, maybe Second Stag was just wishful thinking, maybe Second Stag had a perfect empathy with the former savior and understood each other's situation and choices.
But she really doesn't agree with Second Stag's idea.
"Fate is already doomed, Azor Ahai will be the savior, the sacrifice of Nissa Nissa. Maybe you guessed it right, he is trying to avoid Nissa's death, but his years of hard work have brought Long Night keeps prolonging, a whole generation!
If he can be more resolute, heed the call of fate directly, and use Nissa to forge his sword in the first place. The end of the year."
"Fate..." Second Stag's eyes flickered and he began to grind his teeth, "Daenerys has broken destiny."
"Daenerys? She told you What?" Melisandre's heart skipped a beat, not knowing what else was revealed by the woman.
Second Stag looked into Aunt Mel's eyes, Faintly said: "She said that the so-called sacrifices were sacrificed to the Lord of Light R'hllor.
As long as R'hllor Be generous, you can help Child of Prophecy to forge Red Sword and hatch Demon Dragon without sacrifice.
The so-called fate is just a script written in advance by him to achieve the purpose of oneself.”

Aunt Mel said resolutely: "Maybe the great Lord of Light can do it all, but at a price?
There is a law in everything, a King is rich in a whole kingdom, but he can unconditionally Do you give domestic territory to every subject who asks him?
King does that, and the kingdom will collapse.
The collapse of the kingdom, the fate of those subjects who reap without sowing, Worse than before the Fiefdom."
"The great R'hllor divine power is infinite, but he also has an eternal enemy - the Cold God who draws the world into cold and darkness.
If He can answer every believer's request, no matter the cost, and the desires of mortals are inexhaustible, how long can a powerful R'hllor last?
When R'hllor divine power is exhausted, Cold God can do anything with impunity.
Faced with Cold God, what about the mortals who have been gifted by R'hllor?
The world will eventually be destroyed because of our shameful greed
Farmers farm, Smith forges, King rules, Child of Prophecy saves the world, these are laws, and countless laws make up destiny."
Second Stag frowned for a while, it seemed that Red What Woman said makes sense, but...Child of Prophecy doesn't have the slightest privilege, can't make an exception for Lord of Light?
In the end, his Child of Prophecy is also helping him fight against Cold God!
——Maybe Daenerys is not lying, Spiritual God sees mortals as pigs and sheep, and R'hllor chooses Child of Prophecy simply because Child of Prophecy has what he needs.
But what did R'hllor think about him?
Shireen?
After a long silence, Second Stag sighed: "In any case, we must support Winterfell. This is the responsibility of the King of the Seven Kingdoms and the mission of the Savior.
Even if not Talking about responsibilities and missions, set off purely from the point of view of interests.
Suppose we let Winterfell be broken by Others. Next time, Others King will lead the Wights army, which has doubled in number, to Bloody Gate.
At that time, we won't have any reinforcements, Daenerys won't help us, and neither will Stark if he's alive.
Seven Kingdoms will be doomed if people are separated."
Aunt Mel was silent for a long time and said, "You can send Wyvern Legion to support Winterfell, but you don't want to challenge Others King."
"I'm not afraid of death!" Second Stag was inexplicably angry, "You and I Let's go together, if the Others King appears, please help me once with the great R'hllor. If I still die, there will be no complaints."
"But you are the savior and cannot die. , if you die, the world will be over." Red Woman said eagerly.
She was really anxious, because she really thought he was the savior at this time.
Second Stag faintly said: "In this world, is there a savior who evades responsibility and is afraid of fighting?
You are saying that I am the Child of Prophecy who was destined to fight against Others King , while letting me avoid the decisive battle with the Others King, isn't this contradictory?
If I am truly the savior of the world, I will only get stronger and stronger in failure. Countless failures can temper my will and martial skills, It finally allowed me to grow to the point of overcoming it."
Aunt Mel already knew that oneself couldn't persuade the stubborn king again this time.
Well, Second Stag wasn't completely obedient to Red Woman, otherwise, he would have tried to hatch the Demon Dragon in the stone egg years ago.
"I'll accompany you—dong dong dong!"
Melisandre was about to agree when a sudden knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Ser Davos." Devan Seaworth, the squire officer, shouted loudly and cheerfully from outside the door.
Well, Devan is the fifth son of the Onion Knight.
Onion Knight Davos has a total of seven children, all sons, and all of them grow up healthily without worries.
As a result, he became more and more devout to The Seven.
In War of Four Kings, Davos led the eldest son, the second son, the third son, and the old fourth son to play for Second Stag together, quite imposing manner of Cao Weizhi's Han Family Five Tigers.
Uh, Hand and his four sons.
Unfortunately, the Shanzhai Hande encountered an enhanced version of "Blackwater Rush Zhao Zilong", and the quilt dragon Tyrion Zhao burned his four sons to death.
"Davos is still alive?"
Second Stag, surprised, put on a robe, and stepped forward to open the door.
As Second Stag's squire, Devan has seen Second Stag getting along with Red Woman too many times, so when he came in, he didn't glance at him, and he respectfully and simply handed the letter to King Your Majesty.
"Okay, very good," Second Stag looked at it and applauded excitedly.
You can see that at the end, he fell silent again with a tangled face.
Melisandre folded up the red gauze and came over to say curiously: "What's the situation?"
"Not only did Davos not die in the rebellion, but he once again fulfilled what I entrusted to him. mission, successfully persuaded Bronze Yohn and the Vale princes." Second Stag looked complicated.
"Onion Knight is really a blessing to Your Majesty! (ps)" Melisandre said with a smile.
"Fortunate general? If the Wall hadn't collapsed, I would have been ecstatic to receive this letter, but now..." Second Stag frowned and shook his head.
When King Aegon's True Dragon Alliance besieged King's Landing, there were two armies from north to south: the south road from Storm's End north to Kingswood, 10,000 Golden Company, 4,000 Dorne cavalry regiments, 8,000 Stormlands lords; Northern Army Out of the Bloody Gate, the Vale princes led 20,000 elite soldiers to the south.
But the Northern Route Army had not yet approached King's Landing. When they entered Rosby (seven or eighty kilometers away from King's Landing), the news of King Aegon's fall and capture came to the barracks.
At that time, the South Route Army had been stationed on the south bank of Blackwater Rush for many days, waiting for the North Route Army to join forces.
Iron Throne's troops are limited, and it is impossible to divide the troops into two groups, destroying both the north and south troops.
Euron and Cersei chose to fight the South Route Army, because Dorne and the Golden Company were irreconcilable enemies, and Aegon was captured, and the Vale princes would probably no longer serve him.
Iron Throne's idea is not wrong, the Vale princes don't have much loyalty to Aegon, after Davos brought Sansa's 'surrender letter', immediately began to retreat: to the special King Aegon, to the special King Aegon What's King Stannis, go to what's Cersei, I'm going home, I'm not playing with you.
But soon, they found that they couldn't do it if they wanted to go home.
Lack of rations.
As I said before, in Chaos of Four Kings, the Crownlands were devastated and ravaged.
Everyone is taking turns to grab, which camp are the hungry soldiers?
In the end, the Crownlands people were struggling to survive, and the households had no surplus food.
And the Westeros army never seems to have the habit of carrying rations - how do you escort rations for thousands of miles from Winterfell to King's Landing?
As the Vale army headed south, they found that the villages in the Crownlands and Three Rivers could not be grabbed.
Not to mention food, even the common people ran away.
But they are hungry!
So, the little aristocrats were unlucky.
Therefore, Crownlands nobles wrote letters to Dragonstone, asking Dragon Queen for mercy and restraining the eldest nephew.
So, Old Crab personally rushed to the Gates of the Moon to persuade King Aegon to restrain himself.
So King Aegon and dwarf rode the Wyvern and delivered food to the Vale princes every night.
Therefore, the Vale princes changed their marching route, made a circle, and went as far as possible by the sea - Illyrio brought food to Dragonstone.
Support the Vale army along Blackwater Bay via Dragonstone.
For example, Duskendale is less than a hundred kilometers from Driftmark.
In this way, after Aegon was captured, the supply of rations was cut off.
