Chapter 218, Beacon Smoke Rises (Ask for Subscription~!!)
On the desperate Great Wall, the cold wind is howling.
Looking down at the army of more than 300,000 dead soldiers outside the majestic ice wall, Daenerys frowned.
This strange crisis may indeed engulf the whole of Westeros.
With such a terrifying force, the nineteen castles of the Great Wall of Desperation were attacked, and even if there was an ice wall and the location of the castle for a long time, it would definitely be lost.
Now besiege King's Landing without attacking.
Daenerys has made it clear that she doesn't want to be the queen of the scorched earth, let alone rule a dead place where ghosts and the dead are rampant.
"Do you have enough food to cover the war?"
Hearing the Dragon Queen's inquiry, Eddard, Stannis, and Ryan glanced at each other with the nobles and the Bachelors.
As the Prime Minister, the Duke of the North hesitated for a moment and said, "We have prepared three years of grain storage. ”
"Three years of food?" Daenerys frowned, "You don't have much faith to defeat the Stranger?"
Ryan admitted, "Yes, we are confident that we will hold the Wall, but we are not confident enough to destroy the Wraiths and all the ghouls.
There are too many of them. ”
Daenerys thought for a moment and decided, "If we can form an alliance, I'll have some of the Unsullied and Dothraki cavalry come to your aid. ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with joy.
For the Wraiths guarding the Great Wall, of course, the more allies the better.
Glancing at everyone, Daenerys observed that their faces were beaming, but shook her head again, "But...
Our alliance and truce are only temporary. ”
"We know. "But during the truce, we promise to do what our allies do." ”
Daenerys: "Master Eddard Stark, I know you're a man of integrity, but your verbal promises are hard to convince. ”
Stannis: "And what do you want?"
"Don't worry. The Dragon Queen smiled and said, "I know it's impossible for you to admit my rightful rights to the Iron Throne, but you have to do something, right?"
Ed, Stannis, Ryan, and the other nobles suddenly looked a little ugly, and they all thought about what they could do to get a win-win cooperation.
Thinking that she specifically mentioned the Transcendent, Arthur frowned and said, "You want the Transcendent to help recover King's Landing?"
The faces of the crowd began to become solemn.
Stannis looked at his red-robed female advisor, who also knew the news that the Church of Lakhlo had helped the Dragon Queen secure her rule in Meereen.
Hearing Arthur's words, he was very worried that Melisandre would turn his back on him.
But the priestess gave the former Lord of Dragonstone a reassuring look and a smile, making him put away his worries, and stood up and said with righteousness: "Compared to fighting for the Iron Throne, guarding the Great Wall against the Strangers is related to the future of all mankind, and we can't leave here. ”
After Melisandre spoke.
Mars, the archbishop of the Church of the Seven, also spoke: "We want to stay here to protect the Great Wall and Westeros, and we don't want to participate in the struggle for power. ”
He had crowned Robert in the name of the Seven Gods, but had received little real benefit, and the former archbishop Sparrow had been killed by Cersei in a wildfire at the Basilica of Baylor.
Without absolute strength and discourse, Mars did not want to be involved in the war for the throne.
Ryan, on the other hand, would love to see Daenerys lose her troops as she recaptured King's Landing.
Dragon Queen: "I'm sincere. ”
Ed groaned and nodded, "We know, but it takes the power of the Transcendent to fight the Aliens. ”
"Send the Transcendents to take King's Landing for me, and the whole of the South will be your rear, and then there will be a steady stream of support. Daenerys simply pulled out the tempting flatbread.
As for how to provide support and when to start, it's up to her!
After a long silence, Ed and the others finished discussing in a low voice, and said, "We need to consult before we can give an answer." ”
The Dragon Queen smiled and nodded, then continued to look at the dense army of ghouls, "Do you want me to send a dragon to spray fire to help relieve your pressure?"
"Absolutely not!"
When Arthur heard this, he immediately thought of the original plot, Daenerys was thrown by the Night King to kill a dragon by throwing an ice crystal spear in order to save Jon.
"Dragons are magical creatures that breathe fire, and Wraiths are magical creatures, but they don't just resurrect the dead, they also have powerful ice magic!
By allowing the dragon to fly outside the Great Wall, you are giving the Wraith a chance to kill the dragon!
If the dragon is killed, it will also be resurrected and controlled by the ghost!"
Hearing Arthur's words, Daenerys didn't believe it, but she wouldn't risk her own children, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "I heard that you can predict the future?"
took a little opportunity to understand the plot, but now because of his little butterfly flying around, the plot has long been unrecognizable.
Hearing this, Arthur shook his head: "There is no such thing. ”
"Really?" Daenerys, "I heard you brought back the Shapeshifter's legacy from the Cypriot?"
Arthur nodded, "Yes, you want to be a shapeshifter?"
The Dragon Queen said calmly: "If you are interested in this, can't you give it to me?"
"I have the Shapeshifter's legacy from the Three-Eyed Raven, he is Brindon River, Duke of the Blood Raven, and you are his blood relative, so theoretically, you are the most suitable person to manage the legacy. ”
Dragon Queen: "That's good, can I see the legacy now?"
Hearing this, Arthur looked at Ed and them, and when he saw that no one objected, he nodded and said, "No problem, let's go down." ”
When he arrived at the elevator used by the night watchman to go up and down the Great Wall, the young man suddenly remembered the old bachelor of the night watchman, probably because he intervened in the plot and used the holy light to take care of the old man's body several times, and he has not died yet.
"By the way, would you like to meet Maester Amon?"
The Dragon Queen's face was full of doubts: "Master Amon?"
Arthur: "He is a descendant of the Dorag family, his full name is Aemon Dorag, and he once came to the Wall with Lord Brinnden Rivers to join the Night's Watch. ”
The three princes didn't mention it, and many people present didn't know that among the night watchmen, the most respected bachelor was a member of the royal family of the former dynasty.
Ed also thought of the maestro who had given up his throne and chosen to go to the Wall to serve the Night's Watch: "He is a maestro worthy of our respect. ”
In fact, most doctors and bachelors know about it, but because of Robert's dislike of the royal family of the previous dynasty, he doesn't mention it much.
Hearing that there are still blood relatives and elders alive, the Dragon Queen is very happy.
Having read the family history and knowing about this relative, she was very interested in it and immediately agreed to this meeting.
Ryan asked, "I heard that you freed the slaves of Meereen, Astapor, and Yuankai. ”
"Yes, they don't deserve to be treated like that. "Daenerys.
Ed: "You know what we tried to do in Essos but couldn't. ”
The people chatted, and soon walked to the wooden castle where the crow's nest was located, listened to the crows, and went up to the room of Master Amon.
Maester Aemon is now over 100 years old.
With an apprentice to take care of him, the prince used holy light and medicine to help regulate his body, but his body was no longer strong. Now the affairs of the night watchman have been left to the apprentice, and the old bachelor is in charge of overseeing it, and most of the time he rests in the room.
The nobles did not follow the conversation between the Dragon Queen and Lady Aemon, and Eddard, Arthur, and Ryan were only used as background boards and did not disturb the two.
