Chapter 285: Embarrassing Snow
The gloomy sky brought a bitter chill, and the brethren of the Night's Watch could only feel warmth from each other if they were crowded with each other. www.biquge.info Since the stairs used to climb the Great Wall had been destroyed in previous battles, people had to rely on winches to pull iron cages to climb the Great Wall, with a maximum of ten people at a time. When Jon arrived, it was the eleventh, so he had to wait for the next batch. He looked back, hoping to see Glenn, Piper, or Add, but all he was around was Sadine, Mulley, Provincial Boots, and Barrel.
Could it be Glenn or Piper who blew the horn on the walls? But he can be sure of one thing, and that is that everyone looks at him strangely and ...... Unique.
How many Night's Watch people still call the people north of the Wall Wildlings, not "Freedmen" as he and Sam call them.
Sam is simply reading too much, knowing too much detail, and being too compassionate. And what about him? Jon thought for a moment, when did he start using the term "freedman"? he was sure he wasn't like that when he left Fist of the Ancestors and followed Colin with "Severed Palm" to scout the situation. This was not the case when the red-haired Ygritte was captured. Even when he let Ygritte go because he didn't want to kill the woman, he still used the title of Savage.
Later, the savages came and took them captive. Knowing that he had too many enemies among the wildlings, Colin ordered Jon to kill him and pretend to defect to the wildlings. Jon obeyed this order, killed the legendary Night's Watch Rangers, and then became a "Free Folk". Ygritte vouched for him and followed him all the time, both as a guard and as a companion, both physically and spiritually. Jon meets with Mance Red, the king of the Outer Gates, a traitor to the Night's Watch, who has passed his test and become a free people.
He could be sure that he had joined at the behest of Colin, the severed, and that he was not a traitor.
But Ygritte...... Jon fell in love with Ygritte, and the two of them did all the things that a loved person should do, and how many of them were forbidden by the Night's Watch's oath? Sam says that Jon didn't have a wife, at least not now, and that he didn't have children, so he couldn't break his vow. But how many people would agree with Chubby Sam?
Jon misses Bear so much that he wants to find him to solve his doubts, but he doesn't expect that a goodbye is goodbye. Jon joins the Free Folks' assault team and follows Ygritte over the Wall to the south side, where he finds an opportunity to escape. On that day, he was supposed to take Ygritte with him, but he didn't succeed because he was afraid. He was seriously wounded and returned to Castle Black. He was full of hope that Elder Xiong would tell him how to do it, but all he heard about Elder Xiong being killed by traitors at the Caster Fortress.
"I'm going to avenge Elder Bear, we're going to avenge our common father!" Jon led a group of men north to Caster Fortress, an action that drew praise from too many brothers in Castle Black! He was terrified to see Ygritte at Castle Black, and he knew she would attack Castle Black, for sure.
At the fortress of Custer, he met Zhao Mai. Jon still vividly remembers how Mike had analyzed the pros and cons in a coherent manner on the night he tried to become a deserter. If only Mike could help him sort out his relationship with Ygritte. However, with so many brothers around at the time, and hearing about Bran Stark, Jon didn't find a chance to speak, but was given three potions, saying that they were for fatal injuries.
He returns to Castle Black and meets Sam who has returned. Elder Bear's last words are in Sam's body, and Jon is a candidate for the next commander. The brothers liked him, especially since he had just avenged Elder Xiong, which added a lot of points to him. But at this time, the wild people attacked the Black Castle, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to resist. After the battle, they see Jon holding a red-haired female wildling in his arms.
Ygritte's arrows in the chest, black arrows, Night's Watch arrows, but not Jon's arrows. Jon pulled it out and gave her a potion to heal her fatal wounds, saving her life. But what to do with her, and what to do with him? For the former, the Night's Watch had locked Ygritte in solitary confinement, and for the latter there was no unanimous opinion.
If I die, it might be fine, and I just hope Ygritte is okay. Jon thought to himself. If the wildlings win, then Ygritte would be free, but that would also mean that all of the Night's Watch brothers would be killed. Could it be that the best outcome would be that I would die, the Night's Watch would win, and Ygritte would be free?, Jon shuddered, and he was relieved that he had reached the top of the Wall.
"Take it!" Hab, who had three fingers, handed out chunks of brown bread and warm wine by the cage, and gave Jon a portion. When you nibble on bread, you can block your expression and observe the situation outside. At the top of the Great Wall, the brothers propped up a row of copper basins with poles taller than a man, and a raging fire rose inside. All kinds of fortification equipment have been prepared for a long time, just waiting for the enemy to attack. Although everyone knows that the strangers and ghouls are the ultimate enemies, this does not mean that no one can allow the wildlings to pass through the desperate Great Wall! For a long time, every small group of wildlings who secretly crossed the border did nothing good south of the Great Wall. They will only burn, kill, loot and steal, and the people of the north have long hated them.
In the face of this hatred, what is Jon's love for one of the female savages?
The trebuchet roared, and two vats filled with combustible asphalt were thrown out, followed by fire ropes. The vat shattered in the air, and a rain of fire fell from the sky, and it still burned when it fell to the ground, providing a view to the people on the Great Wall. With this glimmer of light, they saw nearly ten mammoths emerging from the woods with heavy steps, followed by the army of savages.
With a general direction, two more asphalt barrels flew out, this time only to break when they landed. They saw more clearly, not ten, but a hundred. Tall giants commanded the mammoths, and one of them roared in the ancient language, a loud sound like thunder from the ancients, reaching the top of the Wall, causing Jon's body to shake.
"Their goal is the city gates!" Jon shouted, "The giants can't climb the Wall, they can only come through the city gates, so it must be the main target!"
A melancholy Eddie put his horn beside him and said to Jon with a cracked mouth, "You're right, Sir Alyssa would be foolish to veto you. He grabbed a ball of snow and put it in his mouth, then took the warm wine Jon handed him and swallowed it. "If the city gates had been frozen before, we would not have to divide our troops to guard the city and the city. ”
Gülen nodded, but then he shook his head again and said in a melancholy tone, "What if...... I mean, if only Mike was here. He was certainly not afraid of the giants and mammoths, and could easily knock them down. ”
"If he were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't fight the wildlings. Jon said, "I think he has only one goal, and that is the Wraith." Whether it's a savage or a night watchman, he actually ......"
Piper jumped from behind and abruptly slapped Jon on the shoulder, interrupting him, "Hey, you and I are together today, you know?"
Jon looked back and saw that Sir Alyssa was standing not far away, looking at him coldly. (To be continued.) )
