Chapter 222: Anecdote of King's Landing (13)
Lynn nodded slightly, this inflatable fish duke's understanding of war is actually quite thorough, and it seems that no matter how stupid a person is, there is merit.
"The Duke is right, but the wildlings finally gathered 100,000 savages and launched an attack on the Great Wall of Desperation a month ago, the battle took place two months ago, the battle ended with the complete victory of the Night's Watch legion, tens of thousands of savage corpses buried under the ice and snow of the Great Wall walls, tens of thousands of people surrendered and surrendered to the north. β
Duke Mace opened his mouth, and although he realized that something was wrong, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did those savages make such a stupid choice?"
Lynn exhaled, looked up at the sky, and said lightly, "The reason is actually very simple. Savages are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they have to fight for survival, and they are also forced to die to survive. β
"What do you mean by that?"
"For the Savages of the Saiwai, the Great Wall of Despair is just a desperate situation, but if you wait for the winter to come, those savages know that they will face death......"
Duke Mace swallowed his saliva and continued to ask, "Death Realm, what is Death Realm?"
"Strange ghosts!" Lynn replied word for word.
Duke Mace gasped when he heard this, and almost jumped up, his forehead almost broke out in a cold sweat, and he stammered, "Strange...... Stranger!?"
"That's right, it's a stranger. The last time those blue-eyed monsters invaded south was during the Heroic Age 8,000 years ago, when the Wraiths moved from north to south and destroyed almost the entire continent. The survival of humanity is at stake, and after so long of events, their horror has long been forgotten. Even legends are about to be forgotten. However, I really discovered the truth about the resurrection of the strange ghost outside the Saiwai. β
"The Age of Heroes was a time when magic was rampant, monsters were rampant, and humanity was strong enough to confront the gods. But now that the ghosts and heroes have disappeared for nearly 10,000 years, you can't be joking, are you?"
Lynn turned to look at the Queen of Thorns, a wrinkled old woman who suddenly fell silent for some reason.
"Lady Olenna should know about the legends of the Long Night, right?" asked Lynn.
The Queen of Thorns raised her head and looked deeply at the vacant and uninhabited garden in front of her.
She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"It's a legend so far away that you don't even know if it's a legend or a story. There was once a legend in Westeros that told the story of this long night, the heroic era 8,000 years ago.
After a long summer, Westeros has ushered in a generational winter, and winter has descended on the whole world.
The icy world is dark, people grow up in the cold winter, and they also die in the cold winter, and they never see spring in their lives.
The king and the lowliest servants of the castle were not spared, and they froze to death in the long winter. The mother killed the child so that she would not be born to suffer, and they cried loudly, but the tears froze on their cheeks.
In the darkness, strange spirits descended on the earth.
They hate light and warmth, and come from the Far North on giant ice spiders and resurrected dead horses, armed with blade-thin swords of ice, slaughtering everything in sight. They resurrect the dead to fight for them, there is no army to resist them, and the survival of humanity is at stake.
In the legend, in the end, a heroic human hero set out with his companions to find the Children of the Forest in order to save the continent, hoping to use their magic to fight the Aliens.
However, years of pursuit were in vain, and one by one his companions died or abandoned him, and his weapons were reduced to pieces.
At this point, the Alien tracks down the desperate hero, and it seems that humanity's last hope is about to fade. However, in the end, he got rid of the ghosts that were pursuing him, perhaps killing them with a fragment of the Dragonsteel Sword.
Finally, the last hero found the Children of the Forest, bringing the catastrophe to a turning point in victoryβββββ"
The heavy conversation continued until the sun was setting in the west, and Lynn and the two knights who guarded him had a delicious Western-style steak feast before leaving the Tyrell mansion and getting into the carriage back to the Traveler's Inn.
"Mother, I think this young man has a big heart and great ambitions, even if his goal cannot be accomplished, the son also thinks that this man will become a great man in the future, and since the daughter has already followed her, although the name is not as loud as the queen, it is not much worse. Duke Metz looked at the departing carriage and spoke positively of Lynn.
The Queen of Thorns looked at Duke Metz with a blank face and said, "The young man in your mouth is already the guardian of the northern realm, the earl lord who has brought the Cypriots to the heart and intends to get their hands on the Iron Throne?
Duke Metz replied indifferently: "No matter how powerful that guy is, isn't he also my son-in-law?"
The Queen of Thorns snorted, "When did we talk about marrying Margaery to the Northlanders?"
Duke Mace was stunned for a moment and said, "But... Mother, you also promised that if the sentinels we sent came back to find out that what Lynn said was true, the Riverlands would support him on the throne of the Iron Throne?"
The Queen of Thorns didn't say a word, closed her eyes and recuperated, she and Lynn gossiped for two hours today, and it was very difficult to keep up with Lynn's leapfrogging thinking. So the old man is extremely tired now.
However, there is one thing that the old woman affirms, "Lynn has not captured the Iron Throne for a day, or has completely demonstrated her strong ability to seize the Iron Throne, she will not unilaterally bet on the North, at present, the Lannisters are still in control of the big situation, she has no reason to rashly bet on the interests of the Tyrell family to assist Lynn, even if the strange thing is true, there are tall people on top of the sky when the sky falls, the Tyrell family has always only speculated behind the scenes, and will not be the first bird, the Tyrell family is endless, but you can't do it brutely, you have to remember." β
At this time, Loras, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, spoke beside him: "Lynn will send someone back to her sister tomorrow, and then see how her sister chooses, there is no doubt that the Lannisters are not a good thing." β
Duke Mace was not happy to say: "Don't worry about this, if your sister can't marry a king, the Tyrells family in order not to tear their faces with the Lannisters, in order to maintain a temporary alliance with the Lannisters, I suggest you marry the widow Queen Mother." β
The Hundred Flowers Knight's eyes widened, "You're going to make me the father of that little devil-headed king, I'm only 17 years old!?"
"Alright, don't expose this matter yet, let's see how this young guardian is stirring up King's Landing in the next few days, Loras, you go and send more family warriors to the streets of King's Landing to find traces of your sister, and the Tyrells are closed for the past few days. The Queen of Thorns rubbed her brows, her face gloomy and her final decision.
