Ever since the Divine Envoy returned from outside the Great Wall, there have been rumors in Castle Black that he is ready to take the initiative to attack and find trouble with the ghosts. Vertex Says X 23 U OM

In this regard, both the soldiers in the north and the local night watchmen were silent, hiding far away from the king's tower, for fear that the lord would notice him when he chose his man.

"Commander-in-Chief Mormont probably won't agree to his offer, right? Should ......"

"If you don't stay at the Great Wall, why do you want to run outside?"

"If I'm killed by a wraith, is it the messenger who saves people quickly, or is it the wraith's speed at turning me into a ghoul?"

……

Many of the black-clothed brothers muttered to themselves, and they seemed absent-minded when they sat at the table to eat.

Faced with this possible fate, they have resisted.

However, a few days passed, and the people of Castle Black did not wait for the clear order from the higher-ups, but ushered in another team.

The post-party members who took a boat from the East China Sea and "defected" to this place on Dragonstone Island. Soldiers, queens, and noble lords, led by Melisandre in red robes, arrived at the location of Castle Black.

Most of the Night's Watch, who already had enough people to help, expressed indifference, while a few were more pessimistic.

"Another one."

……

Arriving at Castle Black, and hurrying to Charles's residence, the red-robed woman seemed to have something urgent to say, but when she looked at it coldly, her originally serious demeanor suddenly turned into consternation.

"You"

The slender red-haired woman's burgundy eyes stared at the boss, and she was directly stunned on the spot when she faced Charles.

The face was excited, suspicious, hostile, and dazed.

She finally took a deep breath and asked tremblingly, "...... you No, who the hell are you? ”

"Of course I am." Sitting in a chair in the bedroom near the window, Charles raised an eyebrow.

His reaction to the red-robed woman was a little strange, but after a little thought, he guessed that it might have something to do with one of his pit talents.

It's just that Charles doesn't have the heart to explain anything. Instead, it naturally changed the subject.

"I heard you betrayed Stannis?" He asked with interest.

Hearing this, the chaotic expression on the red-robed woman's face gradually eased, she glanced at Charles deeply, and after a pause, said, "Your Majesty Stannis has been blinded by worldly power, and cannot see the greatness of my Lord of Light. ”

She spoke, her tone a little absent-minded, as if she was still in a state of some confusion about Charles.

"So you forsook him?"

"The Lord of Light delivers the truth in the flames, but the believers occasionally answer the wrong questions." The red-robed woman said, and said in a low voice: "There are many choices, there is no need to be limited, Asur. Ahai reincarnated. ”

Charles was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then looked at the old witch who had just arrived and hurriedly found him, and his mind suddenly turned, and he blurted out a sentence, "You don't think of me as one of your choices, do you?" ”

"I ......" The red-robed woman had this idea at first, but when she saw Charles, she hesitated and finally just shook her head.

"The Lord of Light has his own arrangements for all changes, and I just listen to my thoughts and obey my will."

After the god's babbling words were finished, she sighed lightly as if comforting herself, and then put aside the topic and asked, "Some people say that you are ready to take the initiative?" ”

"I had the idea, but I hadn't made up my mind yet. What about your opinion? ”

"The savages have all been received by the Great Wall, and the alien gods don't have much power to replenish." The red-robed woman answered the question.

"Our best option at the moment is to hold on to the Great Wall."

Charles frowned: "And then hope that the enemy will give up attacking the human world after clearly knowing that something cannot be done?" ”

"Eventually, of course, they'll retract into their nests." The red-robed woman said, but suddenly shook her head.

"But if you're going to go north out of the city, I'll go with you."

"Why?"

Melisandre hesitantly replied, "The Great Lord of Light may ...... Prefer this option. ”

Charles was surprised when he heard this, but seeing that the other party also looked uncertain, he didn't ask much in the end. Instead, it asks another, more important question.

"Is that you? Or your people? ”

"The Lord of Light believers are not afraid of the long night, and in the face of this battle, they will naturally make the right choice." The red-robed woman replied.

Charles Xin said that a group of guys who have been brainwashed by you are probably willing to let them eat*, but at the moment, this person is one of the few people who support his idea, so his attitude is naturally more polite.

Charles nodded at him, and then asked, "Do you know our enemy?" Like its means? ”

"Alien means?"

Faced with his question, the red-robed woman subconsciously replied: "In the history of the long night, in addition to bringing darkness and cold, foreign gods only have the ability to revive the dead, and other ......."

She shook her head, "There is no record of anything else. Even when they first appeared during the Age of Heroes, they only showed that, but they were sufficient. ”

Finally, she added, "But ordinary swords can't kill the lackeys of the gods. ”

"And what about the source of the gods? Do you know? Charles asked again.

"Source......" Melisandre said hesitantly when she heard this, "According to ancient books, the alien gods originated in the Dawn Era, and that was more than 10,000 years ago, I ...... it."

"You don't know either?"

"That's right." Melisandre nodded helplessly, "But I am sure of the darkness, of evil, of the Lord of Light, of His Majesty Rahlo, and of all the eternal enemies of the living. ”

This statement is true, destroying all living beings' bodies and souls, and then transforming into that kind of ghoul, this kind of existence is inherently hostile to living beings, but he is not satisfied with this answer.

"Nothing else? Think about it again. ”

"...... carefully," Melisandre frowned and thought for a long time, before finally hesitating, "There is a cult of stars in the land that worships a meteorite that fell from the sky, and I think it may be related to an ancient god. ”

She replied, but her tone was uncertain.

"Okay......" Charles sighed helplessly, a little toothache at the moment

Even the red-robed woman, the god who was charging on the front line against the strangers, didn't know what the real enemy she was facing, so where else could he find someone who knew the truth?

"Old Gods?"

Thinking secretly, he couldn't help asking, "So, how much do you know about the old gods of the north?" ”

"The Old Gods?" The red-robed woman subconsciously showed a hint of hostility: "As far as the flames see, everything is darkness, and the so-called old gods of the ancestors are just evil pseudo-gods who are in the same stream as the ancient gods." ”

She said this with a look of certainty, but Charles was not so convinced.

Everyone is about to be killed by strange ghosts, are you still complicit?

Of course, it is also possible that what she said is true, and what the Three-Eyed Raven once said was false. But with the memories he remembered, Charles didn't feel like he had been deceived by the old man.

"So everything about the Old Gods that you have only seen from the fire? Don't know anything else? Charles asked.

"That's right."

"And will you be able to find where he is?"

"This ......" The red-robed woman hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can try, but I can't guarantee it." ”

……

The red-robed woman didn't seem to have anything else to do this time except to transport the dragon crystal and bring a helping hand. So much so that recalling the appearance of this guy who had just come here in a hurry, Charles was quite inexplicable.

However, he didn't pay much attention to this matter, but when the red-robed woman said goodbye and left, he began to think about what he should do.

From the locals' standpoint, passive defense is the best option, but the Charr are unlikely to do so.

Is it possible to wait for the so-called world to be real?

The only thing he thinks about now is whether to send troops now, or to send troops at a better time later.

Thinking about everything about this time, Charles finally made up his mind

Take the initiative!

At the moment, the other party's ability can be controlled, but if the old god is really killed, who knows if those monsters will breed other abilities?

Don't drag it out the harder.

So at the next day's meeting, he solemnly put forward this proposal.

Opposition has been heard one after another, but there are also a few warmongers who strongly support it, and even can't wait.

Charles did not make any strong demands on the opponents, because he did not know whether the trip would go well. They have their own shuttle doors, and they can retreat back to the Overworld to avoid danger when they see that they are not good, but these locals can't.

In addition, the cold outside the Saiwai is not suitable for the march of large troops, and it is not good to bring too many people to procrastinate.

So in the end, Charles only brought with him the original 500 private soldiers of the Bolton family, 300 private soldiers who had been newly "harvested" during this time, and more than 200 savages who volunteered to join the battle and a dozen scattered night watch rangers.

The Lady in the Red Robe brought with her nearly a thousand soldiers, who had fought for Stannis before, but were now steadfast in their desire to follow the Lady in the Red Robe.

Finally, the team assembled at the gate of the Great Wall early one morning.

Looking at the slowly rising gate, a certain noble knight roared on his horse, and then took the lead in opening the way.

"Let's go!"

……

In a room in Castle Black, the red-robed woman was casting her final spell before leaving.

However, looking at the brazier burning quietly and without making a sound, and turning her head to look out the window at the endless stream of people entering the exit of the Great Wall, she only frowned.

"What the hell is he? Why didn't the Lord of Light respond several times in a row? ”
