The three ships went north, and the ravens returned south.

Looking at the East Sea, Scholar Dan corrected the number of obsidian weapons and ores in the blacksmith shop, and the raven flew down and landed directly on his shoulder.

Goo-goo-goo!

The raven crows affectionately and pets its head like a pigeon. It's just that its eyes are blood-red, which proves that it is a ferocious carnivorous bird. The ravens of the Great Wall of Desperation have been trained by the special scientific methods of the scholars, and it is difficult for other birds to threaten them except for the Overlord Mountain Eagle in the sky.

It was showing its affection to Dan Xiu, coo, coo, coo, this is a signal to eat corn kernels.

The ravens of Donghaiwang are all very close to Master Danxiu.

If it announces its return in the sky, the raven will rattle loudly.

Dan Xiu didn't dare to slack off, Commander Carter released the raven back shortly after leaving Donghaiwang, there must have been some emergency.

The Bachelor gave the ledger to an apprentice, and the Bachelor's apprentices at the Great Wall were also night watchmen dressed in black, and they did not have a bachelor's robe. This is a young man who has been assigned here after a month of recruit training from Castle Black, an officer.

Dan Xiu removed the small iron cylinder from the raven's leg, unscrewed the lid, took out the parchment roll inside, unfolded it, read it hastily, and said to a ranger who had just put down a basket of obsidian daggers: "Needham, send the letter to Lord Eddard, Commander Carter has an emergency." ”

"Yes, Bachelor!"

Inside the castle, the footsteps of busy people come and go, which is the sound of everyone walking on the thick snow. Hundreds of people moved like ants, moving mountains of obsidian weapons and ore from the shore into the military fort of Donghaiwang, and the weapons were put into the weapons reserve. The ore is piled up in the blacksmith's shop, so that the master can make it into a weapon.

Ed Stark commands from the shore of the harbor, and the Titan is shipping fresh water and some beast pelts.

The obsidian weapons and ore on the ship had been unloaded, and the Night's Watch was not rich in supplies, and the large ship brought obsidian to the Night's Watch as well as some supplies: flour, beer, and chain mail.

Earl Gavin Westerling completed the secret delivery mission, and he and more than a hundred guards stood on the deck, watching the busy night watchmen and northerners on the shore, everyone talking and feeling relaxed. However, the shock of the Great Wall of Desperation is still indelible in their eyes.

The captain of the Titan also breathed a sigh of relief, he made a lot of money on this trip. In this extremely cold place, he was famous for the abundance of various beast pelts, and he would make a fortune by sending them to Braavos for sale.

Gavin Westerling saw a man in black rushing in the snow toward the harbor docks, and next to the man in black was a long line of people carrying obsidian.

Is the Men in Black a herald?

Gavin Westerling didn't know, he couldn't see it. The Night's Watch was all dressed in black to his eyes, and he couldn't tell their position or rank. His mission has been accomplished, the Titan is about to return, and Gavin is not too concerned about the protection of the Great Wall of Desperation, he believes that no one can defeat such a wonder of the world, and neither can the strangers and ghouls.

Standing on the deck of the Titan, in a small port under the Great Wall of Desperation, Count Gavin felt that he was set off by the Great Wall of Desperation to the size of an ant, while the large merchant ship of the Titan, a giant Mac, was set off by the Great Wall of Desperation into a small beast as big as a rabbit, whether it was a person or something else, under the Great Wall of Desperation, everything seemed very small.

How could the strange ghost break through this line of defense by such a high wall of ice on the edge of the blue sky? Gavin Westerling, out of curiosity and shock, took the zigzag staircase to the top of the city wall and took a look. The top of the city wall is very wide, enough for twelve horses to gallop in parallel, of course, the base is very large, the thick base of the city wall is hundreds of meters thick, the long tunnel in and out is pitch black, there are three defensive gates made of iron railings, from the inside of the city wall through the city wall to the other side, it takes a short time to ride a horse.

Such a thick-walled tunnel only needs to be filled with water and frozen, and the ice is as hard as steel, and no one can pass through. Gavin thinks that the strangers and ghouls are also powerless.

But Lord Eddard told him that the wraiths and ghouls would climb the ice wall.

Climb the wall?!

Gavin Westerling couldn't believe it, he was dizzy when he stood on the wall and looked down, fearing that he would be blown down by the wind, but the strangers and ghouls could climb up with short swords and swords, which Count Gavin couldn't believe. But Lord Eddard said that the freedmen often climbed the wall and climbed it back.

Count Gavin was speechless. Count Gavin would have taken it as a joke if it were another person, but Eddard Stark was a man of integrity and he wouldn't lie.

The scorching cold weather of the Wall, the almost never-ending cold winds, the thick snow, the ghosts and ghouls, the night watchman and the Great Wall coalition all gave Count Gavin the illusion of unreality. His eyes followed the galloping Night's Watch to the harbor docks, and as expected, the Night's Watch brother ran to Eddard Stark's side, and could tell that he was tired, with a white mist from his mouth and nose.

The Night's Watch was saying something to Eddard Stark.

Although Count Gavin could not hear it at all, he could guess that the night watchman brothers were hurrying to send a message, and it must have something to do with the strange spirits outside the Wall. Commander Carter set off with two warships, were they in any danger?

Gavin remembered the hound, he is from the Westlands like the hound, the hounds are the younger brother of the Magic Mountain, the only blood family of the Magic Mountain, although Gavin is not close to the hounds, he still doesn't want the hounds to have an accident.

On the deck, Gavin, the captain, the guards, the mercenaries, and the sailors all looked out at the docks, watching the night watchman and Eddard Stark talk.

"Lord Earl, I'm guessing something happened to Commander Carter. The captain said.

"It won't be so soon. Gavin said as if to comfort himself. Eddard Stark begged Count Gavin to stay, but Gavin found a reason to refuse.

"My lord, are there really strange ghosts outside the Great Wall of Desperation?" the captain said with suspicion in his tone.

Gavin also had a slight waver in his heart before he came, after all, he didn't really see the ghost: "Of course it's true." Gavin affirmed.

Eddard Stark urged Count Gavin to stay for at least a few more days, but Gavin chose to return anyway. He was selfish, there were strange spirits and ghouls outside the Great Wall, and it seemed that they would not be able to cross the high ice wall anyway, but it was safer to leave as soon as possible.

On the docks, Eddard Stark reads the letter, which says that the scouts of the Shadow Tower and Castle Black have encountered the Wraiths, and they have been driven by the Wraiths and have traveled hundreds of miles to hide in the Tough Fort at Stodd's Cape. Ser Bob Knoll of Castle Black broke out of Fort Tough and boarded a fishing boat belonging to the local freedmen to deliver news to the East China Sea, where he was confronted by Commander Carter on the way, and all three boats went north to rescue the people.

"Ed, what's going on?" As the Prime Minister of Her Majesty Shireen, Davos Seaworth was not imposing, on the contrary, he liked to look at people with a look that made him seem a little nervous.

"About three hundred miles away from here, on the Cape of Staude Peninsula, there is a large gathering place of free people, it is called Fort Difficulty, the scout team of the Shadow Tower, the scout team of the Black Castle, more than a hundred local warriors, hundreds of free people civilians, they are besieged by strangers, Commander Carter has gone north to rescue, he asked me to send all the warships in the harbor, and go north to respond. ”

"Aren't the scouts of the Shadow Tower to the west?" said Davos, frowning. He was a very sensitive person, and he sensed the slightest unreasonableness.

"Yes, the Shadow Tower is in the westernmost part, but the scouts encountered the Wraiths, were pursued by the Wraiths, and made their way through the Shadow Forest to the easternmost Fort of Hardship. ”

"And the scout team of Castle Black, which also happened to bump into each other?"

"They were all pursued by the strangers and joined together in their escape. Ed handed the letter to Davos.

Davos noticed another piece of information from the letter: "My lord, Commander Carter has been ambushed by strangers in the fishing village. ”

"It's not an ambush. Ed said. He led the legion to fight the stranger several times, but he did not feel that the stranger had the wisdom of the human race and knew how to use troops in ambushes.

"My lord, this means that the strange ghost is in the forest outside the Great Wall of Despair, just a wall away from us. ”

"Yes, we don't know how many wraiths are out there yet, but the rescue must be carried out. Lord Davos, I want you to lead the fleet of the East Sea Lookout north to meet Commander Carter, hoping to bring out all the brothers and the freedmen. “

"Okay, sir, I'll go. "Davos Seaworth, who has been a pirate and smuggler for decades, knows every part of the Narrow Sea by heart, and even in the dark of night he can pass through the most dangerous seas, but the waters north of Seal Bay, he has never been.

It was the sea of the Arctic Lands, leading to the unknown, and beyond the realm of Westeros.

"The warriors of the East Sea Fleet are familiar with the waters of Cape Stoud, and they are the best at commanding naval ....... ”

"Lord Eddard. Davos interrupted Ed, "After I lead the fleet to set off, you need to help garrison the East Sea Lookout." Davos looked up at the Titan. High on the deck, Gavin Westerling and the warriors were watching them.

Ed was a man of good faith: "Lord Davos, I have kept Earl Gavin for a few more days. “

"It's a different story now, my lord. After the whole fleet of Donghaiwang was dispatched, the Donghaiwang garrison was empty, and there were only less than twenty administrative officers left, and the brothers who sounded the horn in the ghost forest no longer heard from them, most of them were more than lucky, and if Donghaiwang was lost, the obsidian weapons and ores sent by the Magic Mountain would all fall into the hands of the strangers. ”

"Okay, I'll go and convince Lord Gavin Westerling to stay and help me. ”

"Maybe we have to use other means to keep the Titan out of port, and Gavin Westerling can't leave if he wants to. Davos said.

"No, I'll convince Gavin Westerling to stay. Ed said in a deep voice.

“...... All right...... Lady Eddard...... I think sometimes the magic mountain tricks really work......"

"The means of the Magic Mountain!"

"Yes, if it was the Magic Mountain, what would he do, I think he would send a few swords to guard the cables and anchors, the sailors would untie the ropes and put away the big iron anchors, a few swords would make them go back and report to the captain, the captain would go to Count Gavin, and Count Gavin would come to you, and you promised something that could or could not be done, no matter what Count Gavin said, you agreed first, and Count Gavin would stay. ”

"I don't think of conflict, and I don't force anyone, Count Gavin and the Magic Mountain have done us a great deal. ”

"There will be no conflict, Lord Eddard. Count Gavin will choose to stay and fight with you. ”

"I will not leave Gavin Westerling with deceitful words. Ed Stark said flatly.

"And what if Gavin Westerling won't stay?"

"Then let them go!"

Davos Seaworth shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Give the order, my lord, I need your order to hand over the East Sea Lookout Fleet to me." ”

On the deck, Gavin Westerling heard the herald, and hundreds of people put down their work together and returned to the castle, and the atmosphere changed. Soon, the team came out in full gear and ran onto the boat.

In the harbor, the sound of orders came and went, more than a dozen large and small ships were moving, more than 150 defenders of Donghaiwang were all dispatched, and Davos's guard regiment was also all on board, Davos jumped on the flagship, gave orders, shouted the orders one by one, and the horn also whined, and the battleship ran out of the port, just as the wind direction became a tailwind, so in the neat sound of the trumpet, the sails rose one by one.

The wind helped the ship, the sails were full, and the battleships lined up in several columns and headed north.

"My lord, the Night's Watch fleet has gone to battle the Strangers?" muttered the captain aboard the Titan.

Gavin Westerling replied differently: "Captain, have we packed our things, let's leave quickly." ”

"Good!"

Eddard Stark gave orders at the docks, only to see the two Night's Watch officers turn over and mount their horses, and hurry south along the seashore, not knowing what to do. The obsidian weapons and ore on the docks were left in place, and the Northern Guards and Night's Watch officers returned to the castle as if a great war was coming.

The captain shouted in Braavos to the workers to carry the last things onto the ship, and the sailors had received the order of the first mate to go down to the cabin, take their positions, and stick out of the hull of the ship and plunge into the water, and when the cable was untied and the anchor was raised, they rowed away.

Eddard Stark and two House Knights ascended the wooden ladder to the deck of the Teta.

Gavin felt a little uneasy in his heart, he saw with his own eyes that all the Donghai Wang's fleet was dispatched, most of the soldiers got on the ship and left, and there were less than twenty black-clothed people left, who should be affairs officers, not soldiers.

Eddard Stark's Northern Guards numbered only a few dozen, not as many as his guards.

Ed Stark got on the boat, Gavin Westerling greeted him, and Ed Stark said: "Earl Gavin, Commander Carter and Master Davos have gone north to Tough Fort to save people, the East Sea Wang's garrison is empty, and there are less than a hundred northern guards and night watchman officers, I hope your lordship can stay for a few days to help us defend Donghaiwang." ”
