Chapter 0473 - The Only Iron Guard: Bran Stark

Eddard Stark could see Brienne's mind, Brienne was similar to him in many ways, and he was also a guy who didn't know how to work, he understood this, and Robert had cursed him many times, but he just couldn't change it.

He knew what he couldn't say, but his honor and principles, as well as his straightforwardness, would make him say it, just like Brienne had just done.

Ed noticed Brienne's hand clenching the hilt.

She's nervous, or she's scared, she's still scared of death, but she's not going to back down.

Eddard Stark said, "Brienne, the country has a country and a family has a family rule, your sins should be written down first, and when the kingdom is settled in King's Landing, I will ask the royal council to judge your sins according to the law." ”

“...... Be...... Prime Minister!" Brienne let go of the hilt of her sword, her expression relieved.

When the result came, she was not afraid.

At dawn, the Elder Legion, which had been marching all night in the forest of the Royal Forest, heard the sound of the water of the Blackwater River, and the entire exhausted legion was shaken.

After a short while, they saw the Blackwater River, and when the team came to the river, they found that there was not a single boat at the ferry.

"How can there be no ship?" said Arya.

"Maybe Melisandre was afraid that I would come back to stop her. Eddard Stark muttered.

"If that's the case, Lord Eddard, there are Melisandre teachers in the coalition. Hale Hunt hit the nail on the head.

"Is it Thoros the Red-robed Monk?" said the captain of the guard, Jory Kesso.

"Jory, you take a team of people up the river to find a boat, Arya, you take a team of people down the river to find a boat, and the rest of the people rest on the spot. Eddard Stark ordered.

If there were boats, they would soon cross the Heishui River and enter the city through the river gate, which was also called the mud gate by the common people.

The Mud Gate is the closest gate to the Red Keep in King's Landing.

*

In the Red Keep, the Black Armor Army was under martial law, and a high altar was erected on the Red God Square.

The children were brought to the altar, and eleven pillars stood around the altar, with one child for every two black-armored soldiers. The eldest child was a fifteen-year-old blacksmith apprentice Gendry, and the youngest was a one-year-old girl who could not walk.

The girl's mother has been separated by the shields of the Black Armor.

The walls of the Red Fort were full of black-armored soldiers guarding them, and the gates of the Red Fort had been closed.

Outside the Red Castle, Robert Square was crowded with citizens, and everyone had nothing to fear because of their anger.

The person responsible for the smooth conduct of the sacrificial ceremony was the commander-in-chief of the garrison, Berry Dondelion.

Melisandre is flanked by the Iron Monster Robert Strong, as well as the only Kingsguard currently available, Bran Stark. He was dressed in a white robe, with a straight waist, and was extremely handsome, surrounded by the extremely robust Icewolf Summer.

Gendry was the first to be escorted, his face flushed, and he yelled at Melisandre at the Red Witch, and two Blackarmor soldiers escorted him, probably because he was struggling to resist, his hands were tied behind his back, his clothes were torn, his face was scratched, and the corners of his mouth were bruised.

Bran's eyes glared at Gendry.

Last night, Bran went to the prison to find Gendry, he was the Iron Guard of the Forest, and his status was much higher than all the soldiers of the Black Armor, and even the commander-in-chief of the garrison, Berry Dondelion, could only talk to him politely, and if there was a matter, he could only discuss it first. In many things, Bran's authority is still above Berry Dondelion.

Bran told Gendry that if he shouted that he would be the Night's Watch before he left, Bran would try to save him.

"What about the others? My father's other illegitimate sons, the youngest of whom is just over a year old and can't walk yet, what about them? You're from Eddard Stark's family, and our father is the best friend and courtier, so you can't find a way to save them?"

Bran was embarrassed: "I can't think of an excuse to save them. And you are good at striking iron, and you are also strong, and you are also a man, and you escaped under the pretext of being a night watchman. Many condemned prisoners escaped in this way, and if they offered to be the night watchman, they would be pardoned, which is the law of the Kingdom. ”

The events of last night are still vivid, but Gendry, the apprentice blacksmith, only cares about scolding, but does not mention the fact that he is willing to go to the Great Wall of Despair to be a night watchman.

Bran was silent, maybe Gendry hated him for not being able to save his siblings, maybe Gendry didn't care to escape alone while the other children were burned to death, but whatever the reason, Bran decided to remind him again.

There's only so much he can do.

It's not that Bran didn't raise objections in front of Melisandre, but after the death of Stannis I, Bran's words lost their influence on Melisandre.

After slaughtering a large number of sparrows, Melisandre promoted the belief in the Red God even more strongly, and more people in the court believed in the Red God, but Bran did not.

In front of the altar stood the Imperial Executioner, the Imperial Magistrate Irin Pine, who described him as emaciated, with sunken cheeks, a grim expression, a pockmarked face, and no beard. He wasn't old, but he didn't have a few hairs left, just a few long pinches popping out of his ears. His hard leather coat was covered with iron-gray chain mail, with an ordinary style, through the vicissitudes of life, full of traces of time. Behind his right shoulder, a dirty leather hilt emerged.

The two-handed greatsword was too long for him to wear around his waist.

Irin Pyne's face was expressionless, and he was in charge of putting all the sacrifices on the altar, and those who resisted were to be tied to the pillars, and those who did not resist were also tied to the pillars.

Ordinary soldiers didn't dare to look at Ilyin Pyne's eyes, which were death's eyes, without the breath of life. When Illin Pine's talon-like hand rested on Gendry's shoulder, Gendry, whose face was red and his eyes were blood-red, spat on Illin Pine's face.

Bang!

Ealing Pine punched Gendry in the stomach, Gendry fell in pain, Ealing grabbed him by the hair, forcing Gendry to raise his face, he raised his hand high to slap Gendry hard, his hideous face was terrifying, and the rest of the children were so frightened by Ealing's vicious face that they forgot to cry.

Melisandre's voice stopped Ealing Pyne's palm: "Sir Ealing, there is a time limit for the worship of the Red God, tie Gendry to the pillar immediately." ”

Irin Pine turned his head and glared at Melisandre viciously, as if he was going to kill her. He was naturally cruel and ferocious, which was intimidating.

But Ealing Pyne let go, and he pushed Gendry very violently onto the altar, and the two Blackarmers held Gendry's body hard, and Iline began to tie up Gendry.

Bran was very sad in his heart, he felt that he still needed to do some more strength, and it would be good to be able to save even one person.

Bran stepped up!
