One cell by one was opened, and one by one the prisoners were brought out.

Death row inmates, felons, petty theft offenders, all criminals, no matter how big or small, were brought to the square.

The new ghouls are put in a prison cart by Hound and Podrick, which is large enough to hold several criminals.

The prisoner cart is placed on a newly erected platform.

All the criminals were brought under the high platform and lined up.

Soldiers were everywhere, and the spearmen formed several circles.

Melisandre has a ghoul hand in her hand. The ghouls' hands were as black as ink and as cold as ice. The ghouls' fingers opened and closed, and the criminals couldn't close their mouths.

Melisandre's charismatic and bewitching voice rang out: "O sinful people of God, you now have two choices, either join the Great Wall Legion to fight against the strangers and ghouls, and make a meritorious deed to wash away your shame, and those who fight bravely will receive land, status, and wealth, and the sins you have committed will be erased the moment you join the army." ”

One of the nonchalant death row inmates lazily raised his hand: "My lord, what if we don't join?"

"Then there will be a prison car for you to live in. The ghoul in Melisandre's hand pointed to the prison cart.

Inside the prison cart, the rope on the ghoul has been untied, and the never-tired ghoul is ramming the prisoner cart hard, and the iron cage of the prisoner cart is slammed into a loud noise. The ghouls' blue eyes are a source of fear for criminals.

They had never seen such ice-blue eyes!

"My lord, it's not fair that I was arrested just for stealing a slice of bread. ”

"Any unfairness has become meaningless in the face of strangers and ghouls. When the ice sword of the stranger pierces your chest, when the black hand of the ghoul gouges out your heart, people of God, do you think it is all fair?"

The prisoner was speechless!

There is no doubt that God's people will be favored by God, and God's people are welcome to join us. Melisandre's seductive voice poured into the prisoners' ears.

"I'd like to join, can I have a hot shower and bread?"

"You don't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation, God has given us food and, of course, courage. ”

"Okay, I'll join!" roared a felon, with a scar on his neck, "My lord, please unleash me." ”

Melisandre signaled that a soldier walked into the field and unchained the felon.

"I'm joining!"

"I'm joining!"

"I'm joining!"

One by one, the condemned prisoners expressed their opinions, and finally they all agreed to join the Great Wall Legion led by Melisandre.

Then the felons, then the petty thieves, and finally, all of them joined Melisandre's legion as her warriors.

No one wants to be locked up with a ghoul.

No one would want to change it.

Podrick counted the number of soldiers, and he had two hundred and fifty-eight soldiers. Some people who did not commit crimes but were arrested because they offended the nobles, and some people were unjustly brought in.

The shackles of the criminals were piled up in the middle of the square, and a huge pile of firewood was piled on top of them, and Melisandre lit it with a torch in her hand, and the fire burst into flames with a crackling sound.

The fire is fierce!

Melisandre asked the Hound to order the new soldiers to line up one by one.

The first recruit was guided to Melisandre. The prisoner was badly wounded, had difficulty walking, and was short of breath, and his arms and back were burning with fire.

Every prisoner, after being caught, was severely beaten. It's not that your crimes are lighter, but on the contrary, some death row prisoners and felons are treated better, and the soldiers who execute them are afraid that they will have a chance to retaliate, and they still have mercy on them. The more the 'good people' who come in because of small things, the more they are beaten.

There is no prisoner who is not injured!

After being put in a cell, those who came to see and give gifts were tortured less, and those who had nothing were tortured severely. There are many wounds on their bodies, large and small.

Melisandre's eyes looked at the new soldier from her black hood: "Soldier, the red god is the only true god in this world, the others are false gods, the night is long, everywhere is sinister, those who believe in the red god will be saved and favored by divine thoughts." ”

The soldier, who had not yet changed his prison uniform, stared blankly at the darkness in his hood, not understanding what this meant.

"Follow me, soldier!"

"Yes, Lord Priest!" the soldier was obedient.

He definitely didn't want to be put in a prison car and befriend the ghouls because of a few words he didn't understand at all!

"The night is long, everywhere is sinister, the red god is the only true god in the world, the people who believe in the red god will be saved and favored by the gods, I believe in the red god. ”

The soldier chanted along, and at the same time, Melisandre held a torch and shook it up and down the soldier's body.

Something unbelievable happened to the soldier, the pain in his body was gone, he looked at his hand in surprise, rolled up his sleeve and looked at his arm, the wound on his arm was still there, but the pain was gone.

The pain from the fire in the back disappeared completely.

"The night is long, and everywhere is treacherous, soldier, will you pray with me at the fire when the night comes?"

"Very gladly, Priest!" the soldier knelt down, his heart shocked, and he was grateful to Priest Merry. The excitement is indescribable.

"Has the Scarlet God answered your prayers?" asked Melisandre in a low voice. The priestly mystery of this sound is even stronger.

"The Red God has answered me!" the soldier threw himself to the ground.

"Welcome to the Red God Legion, do you want to become the Flame Hand of the Gods?"

"Liver and brain, Priest!"

"Get up and look at your wounds!"

The soldier got up and looked at the wound on his arm, which showed obvious signs of healing.

The soldier was dumbfounded.

God answered him again!

It's incredible.

"Tonight, I will raise a fire, and my people who give their hearts will be the chosen hands of the Red God. ”

"I will definitely be the flame hand of God!" the soldier was full of confidence.

The Red God was the first to respond to him.

Melisandre waved her hand, and the soldier consciously stood behind Melisandre, his face glowing red, he was excited, excited, grateful, and loyal.

The evening ritual is the true ritual of faith, and Melisandre begins to build her Red God Legion: the Flame Hands.

The second soldier was brought up.

The same scene began to repeat.

Neither Podric nor the Hound were Crimson believers, they were tasked with protecting Melisandre, and they watched as Priestess Merri turned the soldiers into her followers one by one through her divine powers.

Though they were strange in their hearts, they did not say anything to stop it. They didn't know if Lord Will had come to an agreement with Priest Merry, who was their allegiance, and they had no right to intervene head-on.

The Red God did respond to the Prisoner Soldiers, that's a fact!

And after the fire sacrifice in the middle of the night tonight, these soldiers will become the dead by Melisandre's side. Melisandre's idea for the Red God Armament stemmed from the bloody assassination of Stannis I at the Great Basilica of Baylor.

She thinks that if she is not armed, it will be difficult for her to do what she really wants to do. And the more people who believe in the red god, the more sure she will be of defeating the ghosts and ghouls, the stronger the red god's response will be, and the more accurate she will see the nature of the vision from the flames.

In the West, in the castles of the subservient nobles alone, there were many prisoners who were locked up. With the conquest, her legion will welcome more prisoners and more dead soldiers.
