Chapter 290, Compromise (Ask for Subscription ~!!)
Knowing the terrible situation of the battle and the death of his friend, the angry Robert vented at the sword target for a while before calming down.
When he returned to the hall, he asked the few people who had not rested and stayed behind to serve the emperor, "How did my niece Shireen get burned?"
Brienne is an upright person, and when she hears this, she immediately tells what she sees, impartially.
But she didn't know the cause, so she only said hatefully: "It's those fanatical Red God believers, who caught Princess Shireen and tied her to the fire and burned her. ”
Robert frowned and asked, "What about Stannis?"
The knightess said, "I rescued Princess Shireen from the fire before he appeared." ”
Daenerys shook her head when she heard this, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "When Arthur and I destroyed the dead Viserion, we met Stannis's army, and it was Stannis who wanted the army to rush to Winterfell as soon as possible... He agreed to Melisandre's offer to sacrifice Shireen. ”
"What?" Robert was stunned.
The Fat Emperor didn't like Stannis's younger brother, but he didn't expect him to be so mad that he could even sacrifice his own daughter.
Therefore, even looking at the other priestess of the Lahlo church next to him was a little unkind.
Several times he used the blood sacrifices of the Emperor, Arthur, and Daenerys to perform magical magic, and Penelope really didn't know how to explain it to Melisandre.
"Has Shireen been cured?"
Knowing that the prince who had experienced the war was not in a good state, Barristan was a little worried: "Your Highness is still continuing to treat. ”
After a deep sigh, Daenerys said, "I think we need to talk seriously about what to do next." ”
Robert asked indifferently, "Isn't the Unichraiser the only one left with the Night King?"
"It's not that simple. Daenerys frowned, "What if the Night King keeps hiding and doesn't show up, and only directs the ghouls to constantly attack the Wall, or directly leads the army of ghouls south?"
The Fat Emperor and Barristan are also afraid that the Night King will hide and not appear, and only hide and direct the ghouls to wreak havoc everywhere in Westeros.
I want to say that I found it and killed it, but considering the extraordinary strength of the magical creatures and the mastery of magic, it is not clear whether the King of the Strangers showed all his means in the battle of Winterfell.
After thinking for a moment and not coming up with any good ideas, Robert looked at the silverhead unpleasantly: "What good idea do you have?"
The Dragon Queen frowned and said, "As the founding emperor of the world, do you still have to ask me in the military about this woman who is not proficient in military affairs?"
Now is not the time to argue, seeing that Robert was angry when he heard this, she hurriedly said, "I may not be able to give any good advice, but I find that everyone has overlooked one thing. ”
Barristan: "What's the matter?"
"The wildlings were placed in the Night's Watch grant. ”
"Oops!"
Hearing the Dragon Queen's reminder, Robert and Barristan immediately understood why the Night King had chosen not to attack the city of Severn to add to its army of the dead.
Barristan said anxiously: "We must immediately inform the savages of the land grant and arrange for them to retreat." ”
Hearing this, Robert and Daenerys frowned, the Great Wall has been stationed in the coalition army, and the nineteen castles are almost full, even the desperate Great Wall can't squeeze in.
Not to mention the last Fireplace City, which is not very big.
Robert furrowed his brows: "Where to retreat? The Great Wall, the Night's Watch Castle can't accommodate so many wildlings." ”
"I'm not very familiar with the north, but the only place I can think of is the Great Wall. "Daenerys.
The old knight shook his head with a solemn face: "I suddenly have a very bad premonition, the Night King has wisdom, will make a detour to the Cold Ice Bay, and then attack Bear Island, the Deep Forest Fort, and now destroy the tens of thousands of troops in Winterfell...
Why do you still insist on going north to the Great Wall?"
That's right!
The King of the Strangers has obtained an army of tens of thousands of ghouls, and he does not have to break through the Great Wall at all to join the army of the dead outside the fortress.
If you go straight south.
Westeros is in the middle of winter, and the Wraiths and Ghouls have the greatest advantage over the timing.
The forces of the Riverlands, the Vale of Arryn, and the Riverlands are concentrated in the north, and all the castles in these places are afraid that they will not be able to withstand the terrifying offensive against the army of the dead!
Why did the Night King go north?
"Will the troops be divided?"
When Robert heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted to the people of the Severn family: "Hurry up and bring me the map of the north!"
"Your Majesty, the map is here. Hearing this, the head of the Severn family's swordsmanship sect immediately put the map of the northern realm on the table.
And when he saw the map, the fat emperor was silent for a moment, and his fat face was full of anger.
When Barristan saw the map of the north, he clenched his fist and smashed the table.
"What's wrong?" Daenerys didn't have as much military knowledge as the two of them, and she couldn't tell anything from the map.
Penelope mused, "Queen Daenerys, ghouls don't feel tired, they don't feel pain, they don't feel cold, they don't feel hungry, they can ignore any complex and precipitous terrain. ”
"What do you mean?" the Dragon Queen thought of some possibilities, but couldn't grasp the point.
Brienne said, "The Night King may have divided his forces to attack the Night's Watch Grant before he led the ghouls to attack Winterfell. ”
"What?" Daenerys' face became solemn, "Then the wildlings who have given away the land now may have been attacked by strangers and ghouls?"
"Based on the speed of the ghouls' march, the fastest may be to the last Hearth. Brienne guessed.
The Dragon Queen immediately entered a state of resoluteness: "Then let's set off immediately to the Night's Watch to give land." ”
Robert, who has always been reckless, shook his head and said, "No, although Barristan and I have recovered from our injuries, you and your dragon are not in good shape, so it is no good to support the savages in this way." ”
After the defeat of Winterfell, they took the initiative to attack the ambush, everyone was injured a lot, and their friends died because of this, and the Fat Emperor knew very well that they could no longer rush lightly.
This time, Arthur rescued them in time.
Next time, I am afraid that even Arthur, who has the power of the Holy Light, will be targeted by the Night King, and without complete certainty, without deliberate action, absolutely everyone will become dead and be manipulated.
Barristan: "Count Randolph Tully has been rescued by His Highness, shall we wait for him to wake up and ask him how he is?"
Robert, who had a headache at the thought, immediately nodded: "When everyone wakes up, we will call a meeting." ”
The Dragon Queen frowned, "So what are we going to do now?"
Penelope shook his head and persuaded: "Queen Daenerys, you also need to rest, go sleep first, and wait for you to wake up." ”
"But I can't sleep!"
The silver-haired queen was full of worry at the thought that the wildlings who had given the land were in danger and might all be killed, and then resurrected by the strangers as ghouls to replenish the soldiers of the army of the dead, she was not sleepy.
For the silver-haired girl who is not proficient in military talents, Robert has some contempt: "You have a dragon, we can afford to wait for a day." ”
However.
The Night's Watch gave land.
All the tribes settled in the east, in order to escape the army of ghouls, all fled to Houguan Town, which crowded the place.
Tens of thousands of freedmen crowded into the largest town of the Night's Watch, and enlarged it by pouring ice walls, and although they built a parapet five or six meters high, they consumed a huge amount of food and supplies every day because of the large number of people.
The freedmen who were resettled in Houguan Town did not welcome these outsiders who had fled.
Food and supplies are the key to surviving the winter, and they are already anxious about the future, and now because of the arrival of refugees, they have to give what they need to survive?
Freedmen can't be so great!
Therefore, in terms of the Great Wall and the Night's Watch Castle, the free people in Houguan Town hid their food and supplies in order to survive the winter!
The free people who fled to Houguan Town in order to survive have run out of food at this time!
The fleeing freedmen who did not want to starve and freeze unsurprisingly united in the camp outside Houguan Town and launched an attack on the freedmen in the town!
Civil strife broke out in Houguan Town.
In the town, outside the town is full of fighting.
On the side of the Great Wall Alliance, the Night's Watch, and the nobles of the North, the officers and soldiers sent to the land grant watched coldly, and did not care about the life or death of the savages, and even enjoyed their internal exhaustion.
Therefore, no one knows.
The Night's Watch land grant and the free people's settlement camp in the west of the new land grant have been suddenly attacked by an army of ghouls!
