Chapter 191, Transition (Ask for Subscription ~!!)
Originally, after a few days' journey, because of a large amount of grain, grass, equipment and equipment, the army walked for nearly a month, and finally arrived at the majestic and magnificent Great Wall.
The sky was gloomy, and the sun was obscured by thick clouds.
Entering Castle Black, Arthur found that the atmosphere was very oppressive, and even some soldiers were so nervous that they could not breathe.
"It seems that we are in a bad situation. ”
Say hello to Anne, Hainly, and Selena, and Arthur leads the group into the hall of the Night's Watch.
"Jon?"
The young man who was rumored to have been killed took off his black clothes and stood intact in front of the stunned Duke Eddard, Ryan, and Varian.
The busy Stannis came in, saw the expressions on everyone's faces, and said, "At first, I was just as surprised as you are. ”
Arthur frowned and asked, "Was Jon resurrected by the priest of the Lord of Light?"
A frenzy appeared on Stannis's face when he heard this: "That's right, yes. ”
Ryan couldn't help but look at Jon, "Are you sure you're still yourself?"
Robb, who didn't officially become a night watchman, but came to the Great Wall first, and joined the defense, shrugged, "At least his eyes haven't turned blue." ”
Ed touched Jon, who was named an illegitimate child but was actually a nephew, and showed a rare smile: "This is also true." ”
Varian groaned and asked, "Is it really the priestess of the Lord of Light who brought you back to life?"
Jon nodded, not wanting to talk about the resurrection again.
"No wonder the Church of the Seven acts like that. Varian shook his head and muttered with a complicated expression, and his eldest brother Ryan next to him heard it with deep agreement.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Stannis beckoned everyone to take their seats, and then introduced the melancholy Eddie of the Night's Watch to the crowd and said, "Jon was stabbed to death once, and he can break away from the Night's Watch Oath, and he doesn't want to be a Night's Watch again, so the current commander of the Night's Watch is Addison Tollett." ”
Addison Tollett hurriedly saluted everyone: "I have seen three highnesses and the prime minister. ”
Ed nodded, looked around, and asked in a deep voice, "Your situation looks worse than I thought. ”
"Outside the Great Wall are resurrected dead people. Stannis said, "Be prepared, we have soldiers in each of our castles now, but we also blocked the passages, but we still don't feel safe." ”
The fireplace was crackling, and everyone was listening to the Prince of Dragonstone talk about the current situation at the Wall, and Jon added from time to time.
The wildlings were all placed in the land grants, because they had lost a lot of young men, and the warriors were also recruited, and they were basically in peace, and everyone had seen them before they came to Castle Black, and there were no problems.
Grain, grass and equipment were replenished, Long Jing mined early, and there was no shortage of weapons, but everyone was a little worried about the long winter after the long summer.
Winter in this world is not only a few months, but a year!
Although there is a lot of food in stock, it can only last for two years at most to supply tens of thousands of soldiers on the Great Wall.
After learning about their situation on the Wall, the group followed Stannis and Jon up to the Wall to observe the situation of the enemy's army of the dead.
Stand tall and see far.
When you climb the Great Wall, the howling north wind is cold to the bone, and you can see in the distance a clear sky that is not available in the Great Wall shrouded in clouds.
However.
The dense skeleton of dead people and bones continued to the Great Wall like a ghost forest, and the number was determined to be at least more than 300,000 after a rough count!
Such a scene makes everyone's scalp tingle when they see it.
"Did you find any strange ghosts?" Arthur asked.
Jon shook his head, "I've only seen it when I went to help the wildlings retreat south, and I've never seen it here." ”
"It's even worse. Varian, "If the wraiths show up, we can find a way to kill them, but they're hiding and refusing to show up, apparently trying to drain our power with the dead." ”
Ed: "It's going to be a long and protracted battle. ”
Ryan frowned: "Even if there is the Great Wall, I feel that this is too passive. ”
Return to the Black Castle on the ground.
The crowd, who were a little heavy, immediately got busy and began their work.
"Heinrikay, I want to go out of the Great Wall to find Your Majesty, and bring back Brandon Stark. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Arthur immediately told the female knight his thoughts to the next one.
While in Winterfell, Anne agreed to Liana's request, anticipating that he would take the plunge and told her friends.
Hearing this, Hai Yin Likai was not surprised, but asked coldly: "Where do you want to go out and go to the East China Sea to take a boat?"
Arthur nodded, "Yes." ”
"Can help you prepare, but have to bring us. Hainrikai glanced at Anne and Selena.
"You know that if you bring too many people, it will drag me down. ”
Hine Leekai suddenly turned her face: "Then you go and prepare yourself, don't forget that Prime Minister Ed, Ryan and Varian will not agree to you going on an adventure outside the Great Wall." ”
"Annie?"
"Don't ask me. Anne shrugged, "There's a lot of work waiting for you over there." ”
Arthur could only reluctantly agree: "I'll take you with me." ”
"Just wait. Heinrikai smiled and led Selena away to prepare the boat and supplies for the boy to go out.
Back in the temporary logistics department of the army, the logistics group composed of Dr. Ryan and others, everyone had a bad look on their faces.
They had also seen the dense crowd of dead men on the Wall, and they knew that the commander of the Night's Watch, Jon Snow, had been assassinated and then resurrected by the Red Priestess.
Gianna summons an ice storm, the shapeshifters control the animals to observe the enemy, and the Bachelor's worst fears still happen.
- Magic revived and fully rising!
"Your Highness, we have already counted the food again, and the amount consumed has also been counted, please take a look. "Dr. Ryan was very quick to put together the list they had put together.
With the help of a team of doctors and bachelors, Arthur's logistics work was very easy, and after taking the list and doing some mental arithmetic, he could make sure that there was no big problem with the statistics.
Dr. Ryan: "Your Highness, there are some things I think we have to talk about!"
"Huh?" Hearing the old doctor's serious words, Arthur suddenly put down the list in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Is it because of magic?"
"That's right!" Dr. Ryan, "magic has been fully revived, and without the power of checks and balances, the whole world would be a terrible place." ”
Arthur nodded: "I know, so I asked the doctor to study gunpowder." ”
The old doctor shook his head: "The power of gunpowder is indeed good, but it still can't be compared to magic. ”
"No, it's on par with magic, it's just that we haven't figured out the tools to use yet. ”
"What use tools?"
Arthur was about to tell the Doctor about the musket, but he didn't expect the priestess of the Lahlo church to suddenly arrive.
"We're talking about something important!" Seeing the red-robed priestess break in, Dr. Lane didn't have a good face.
Arthur hurriedly reassured the old man, told the doctors and the scholars not to be angry, and asked the priestess, "Penelope, Melisandre, what is the matter with you coming here?"
Penelope didn't even glance at the doctors and bachelors in the room who were glaring at him, and answered the prince's question: "Your Highness, we have found the relatives of your mother's family. ”
Find your maternal relatives at this juncture?
Hearing this, Arthur suddenly frowned: "Are you sure?"
Melisandre smiled, "I'm pretty sure, let's come in." ”
As the priestess's voice fell, a beautiful girl with long fiery red hair and a thin cloak walked into the room in the cold wind howling north.
Looking at the red-haired girl a few times, Ryan suddenly snorted coldly: "Except for her black eyes, I don't think she has any similarities with His Highness, how do you prove that she is from His Highness's mother family?"
"Your Highness can attest. ”
