Chapter 118

The Great Wall of Desperation, the practice ground was temporarily converted into an execution ground. The Savage King Mansred has been tied to a stake. He didn't choose to kneel after all. So, just today, he will be burned at the stake.

Mance wasn't intimidated, just a little pity. Everything that night seemed like a dream after all. I'm going to die here after all. The only thing he can't worry about is when he dies. The wildlings fell apart again. In the end, it was destroyed by the white ghost. I just hope that my death will make them remember something.

A group of soldiers gathered around him, which was to prevent some wild men from storming the execution ground. Many of the leaders of large savage tribes were brought to watch the execution. Many of them have their hands pressed to the weapons. But the tight guards around them kept them from acting rashly.

A bachelor is reading out Mansred's charges. But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the rear. And the noise is getting louder and louder. It even turned into a kind of mass panic.

"What's going on?" Sir Daves shouted. Although this old man is usually very kind, his status is not very high. But Stannis' men knew. Daves is the lifesaver of their family, and at the same time the most trusted. As soon as he spoke, the scene was much quieter. But the panic is still spreading.

One of the guards rushed over and leaned into Daves' ear and spoke. I saw Daves' face suddenly change. Raising his hand for the Master to pause, he pushed the crowd aside and rushed to Stannis's room.

At this time, there were already many guards surrounding the place. There was a kind of fear and confusion on their faces. Because just now, they found out that their allegiance was to whom. Duke of Dragonstone, Stannis. Baratheon, dead in his room. This is like a bolt from the blue for these guards.

When Daves saw the scene in front of him, he was also stunned. Stannis lay on his desk, looking as if he was asleep. But the bachelor had already established that he died, died of a sudden heart attack.

Daves was also blindsided for a while. Last night was fine, why did they die today? He looked to the Bachelor to the side, who shook his head to indicate that there was no sign of poisoning. Daves let out a slight sigh of relief. If it wasn't murder, it was barely acceptable. If Stannis dies of murder on the Night's Watch territory. Then there is no doubt that his army will slaughter this base of the Night's Watch without mercy. Although that doesn't make much sense.

"Where's Celine?" Daves remembered the most crucial person right now. Stannis has no more descendants. Celine is his only daughter. Despite Celine's gray scale disease, she hardly sees outsiders. But when the time comes, she has to step up. Because she is the only heir to Dragonstone. He is also the theoretical successor of Stannis's army.

Not far away, a beautiful woman in a red robe stood in an attic, silently looking at everything in front of her. She was a little reluctant to believe her eyes. Stannis, whom she identified as the savior, the reincarnation of Azar Ahai, died so easily.

"Who the hell are you?" Melisandre, the red-robed woman, asked in a trembling tone. Behind her, Lu Qiming was holding a glass of red wine, looking at the chaos below.

"It doesn't matter who we are. Importantly, our purpose is the same. ”

"The same? You killed Stannis, the savior of this world. You tell me we're the same? ”

"Hehehe......" Lu Qiming chuckled a few times. Said in a disdainful tone.

"If he was really the savior, how could he be killed so easily. Shouldn't the Lord of Light protect him? But he didn't, so what does that mean? Lady Melisandre. ”

"The Lord of Light can't be wrong, I see her revelation."

"The Lord of Light may be right, but that doesn't mean you're right. If I'm not mistaken, you're probably just seeing some vague visions. The Lord of Light cannot deliver detailed information to you. You can only rely on your own guesswork. ”

“.…..” Melisandre was silent. She knew that the other party was right, and she couldn't see it all. Only a little insignificant information can be deciphered from the flames.

"If Stannis isn't the savior, then who is? We don't have time. The power of the cold god is getting stronger and stronger. We need to find a savior and stop this. ”

"Savior, savior. Why does the world need a savior to survive? You look at each one of them. They are strong, brave, and determined. Why can't the savior be them? It's every one of them, it's every one of the seven nations. If we combine all the armies of the Seven Kingdoms, we will have enough strength to fight the Alien Legion head-on. Why do you have to find that inexplicable savior. ”

"The Lord of Light can't be wrong, humanity needs a savior."

"Well, ......, I knew it was impossible to reason with you Christians. But I don't know who the child of destiny you are talking about. If you want to know, then see for yourself. In the crowd below, there are two men with the blood of the Emperor. That's enough for you to see clearly. ”

"Two? Mansred, as the king of the outside world, can be called an emperor. Who is the other one? That little girl can't, she's too flawed. ”

"Hehe......" Lu Qiming chuckled a few times, but did not answer her.

"There is an old saying in our hometown, "There is no conspiracy between different ways. Since we don't have the same point of view, let's do our own thing. You go to your savior, and I go to my salvation army. Maybe in the end, we will end up in the same place. ”

Melisandre looked at Lu Qiming's departing figure, and her right hand couldn't help but clench the railing in her hand. She had an urge in her heart to shout right now for the guards below to catch the murderer of their lord. But thinking of the other party's strange behavior, she hesitated a little. In the end, Melisandre didn't speak. just quietly watched Lu Qiming's figure disappear into the crowd.

The biggest beneficiary of the whole events that took place in the Night's Watch camp was undoubtedly Mansred. He had just been escorted back to his room. I was told that the execution was postponed. Only then did he know that the Duke of Stannis, who had sentenced him to death, had died.

Mance only felt a chill in his back, the young man. Everything that happened last night is true. Thinking of this, he turned around abruptly and found Lu Qiming sitting behind him, looking at him with a smile.

"Alright, now that I've fulfilled my promise, it's your turn."
