Chapter 290: Wish
The winch rattled, and Jon descended to the ground in a cage, White Spirit following beside him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He saw the Night's Watch busy, constantly carrying barrels, stones, and straw. They can use these things to create barriers, block the passages under the Great Wall, and then pour water on them, and wait for the barriers to freeze together with the Great Wall.
Sir Elisha looked impeccably dressed in a trimmed cloak and shiny boots, and he was directing the Night's Watch, especially the craftsmen. "Act and don't give the wildlings the slightest chance!" said Sir Elisha's voice loud and loud, "Shut the gates, block the wildlings in the snow and ice, and freeze them to death!"
"Savages won't freeze to death. Jon walked up and said, "If the gates are blocked, then the wildlings will win." ”
"Win?" Ser Alyssa glared at Jon grimly, "Lord Snow, you'd better keep your mouth shut! The real battle takes place in the passages! Soon, the giants will be able to break through the second gate, and then the wildlings will swarm and kill them all, and that's when the wildlings win and we lose. ”
"I ...... I know. That's all Jon could say.
"Let me tell you, boy. Ser Alyssa poked Jon in the chest with his glove, "The next time the wildlings want to come, I won't give them a chance, and I won't fill it with the flesh and blood of the brethren." I'm going to block them with ice and iron! Do you want to come here? Try to cut through the Great Wall of Desperation!"
"They didn't have to dig through it, they just had to find a place to turn it over, and I climbed the Great Wall once. Jon regretted it a little as soon as he said this, after all, he had crawled after the wildling, and it was not glorious to talk about.
"Yes, we all know that. "You eat with the wildlings, march together, and sleep together!" Come, tell me, are you happy to betray the Night's Watch and be with a bitch who doesn't bathe?"
Jon wanted to break Elisha's nose with a punch, or make White Spirit bite off one of his legs. A boy might do that, but he wouldn't now, he wouldn't let Alyssa do it. "I joined the Wildlings on the orders of Severed Colin, and I never betrayed the Night's Watch. ”
"That's good, I think you're a good man, too. Come, prove it to us. Ser Alyssa pointed and said, "You say you have not betrayed the Night's Watch, then go and prove your oath." Grab your sword and kill that female wildling. ”
"No, I wouldn't do that. Jon straightened his chest and said, "First of all, that doesn't prove anything. I returned to Castle Black and warned of the coming wildlings. I took part in the defense of Castle Black, personally repelled the attacks of the wildlings, captured most of them. I defended at the top of the Wall, and together with my brethren fended off the onslaught of the savages. I don't need more blood to prove my loyalty. He spoke in a tough tone and a powerful voice: "I fought for the Night's Watch, and it will be like this from the beginning to the end of my life. Now, the only thing I have to do is go to Mance Red. I'm going to convince him to surrender, and if it doesn't work, I'll kill him. ”
"What? you're going to Mance Red?" Erisha shook her head, "No, I think you're going to surrender to him, wagging your tail at him, and begging for mercy on him, and becoming a wild man again, do you want to be a deserter?"
It was so wrong that Jon almost burst out laughing. "Be a wild man again, and it seems that you also recognize that I am now a member of the Night's Watch. Moreover, you are completely reversed. I wore the black clothes of the Night's Watch, was a prisoner of Mance Red, pretended to surrender and returned to Castle Black. To him, I was a capricious traitor, and the last thing he could believe was that I would surrender to him again. ”
Elisha was bitter, knowing that she had made a mistake, but she still said, "Yes, you are a traitor to him, why did he still meet you? You could not convince him, nor could you have a chance to assassinate him." ”
"He'll be curious. Jon replied, "Mance is a proud man who looks down on all kneelers. I knew him, knew him, knew him to meet me. He raised his voice and said loudly, "The gates cannot be sealed, and once they do, Mance Rader will no longer attack the gates, but will spread out and find a place to climb the Wall! The battle will be tough, but with the gates, at least we still have a chance to fight and a chance to win!"
The Night Watch brothers looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to. They liked Jon, but Ser Alyssa had been with the Night's Watch longer and should have had more experience. Still, they stopped what they were doing and looked at the two men.
"We won't let a wild man enter the gates. Ser Elisha said, "So, you will surely die outside." ”
"I will make the wildlings surrender, compromise, or die outside. Either way, you've won, the Night's Watch has won. ”
"Very well, you go out, but we're going to block the gates anyway. ”
Jon shook his head, "True victory will come from the gates, and I'll meet it." Even if you have fear, know that only fear can be brave. Fix it, use it, and don't bury it. I'm going to go. ”
He didn't know how much his brethren would listen, and he didn't know if Ser Elisha would continue to block the gates after he was gone, he only knew that he had to act at this time. If even he didn't move, there would be no hope for the Night's Watch. He had made a choice, even though it was likely to be death.
What he said in the square, Ygritte listened to all in his ears. The savage woman huddled quietly in the corner of the cell, waiting quietly. If Jon died, she would cry and live for him, and if Jon lived, she would laugh and continue to live for him. Ygritte calculated very well that Jon could have executed her the first time she was captured, but he chose to let her go, which was the first life, that Jon reached out and grabbed himself from the cliff when he was over the Wall, and that he saved a second life, and when she was hit by an arrow in the heart, it was Jon again, which was the third life. There is no way to repay these three lives, Ygritte thought to herself, she is one, she is still a woman who can give birth, and two more are nothing.
Jon walked to the door, and the White Spirit followed him, looking up at him from time to time, and then licking Jon's hand. Fingers open and close, now he needs to move as much as he can, it may be useful for a while. The brothers of the Night's Watch looked at Jon with mixed feelings.
Walking through the ice tunnel and past the corpse of the giant, Jon came to the north side of the Wall. The fire lit by the oil tank was still burning outside the city gates, and he had to make a detour and even build a bridge out of the corpses of savages and step on it. All corpses must be burned before nightfall, otherwise they will be in trouble to "come back to life". Jon glanced back at the Wall, the tall and majestic ice and snow miracle had remained the same, and it might still be like this in a thousand or ten thousand years. Jon tried to look at the brothers on the Wall, but couldn't tell anything but the little black dots.
Not exactly, he saw a black crack appear in the sky, and then something fell out of it. The thing floated crookedly in the air, and then jerked towards it, seemingly heading towards the Great Wall of Despair. At this time, Bai Ling let out a wolf howl, and his tail wagged non-stop.
"Don't scream, we still have a long way to go. Jon said, moving his fingers. (To be continued.) )
