"How's it going? Is there any news from the Last Hearth City?"
Tormund happened to meet Grenn who had returned from the crow's nest at the Castle Black campus, so he asked directly.
Mance had already returned to Oakenshield Castle to deal with many matters of the free people, while Tormund was left behind to wait for news about Jon.
If something unexpected happens to Jon, even if the Night's Watch doesn't respond, the free people will send troops to seek justice for him.
"No, there used to be a raven letter every two days. Now there has been no news for several days!"
When Grant heard this, he scratched his short curly hair and replied a little irritably.
"Mudd, Jon better be fine. Otherwise I'm going to kill that dragon-riding bitch just like I killed the giant!"
"Tormund, have you really killed a giant?"
"Of course, it was a bad blizzard weather. I cut open the belly of a sleeping giant in the cave and hid it inside to keep warm..."
When Tormund and Grenn were standing in the school yard chatting, Ollie, who was standing on the second floor, stared at Tormund with hatred, holding on to the wooden handrail with both hands.
Although Robb had killed most of the free people who had massacred the village, every time Ollie saw Tormund and Yeggot, the scene of them leading a team to kill their relatives and acquaintances would appear in his mind.
.
"Oli, I'm ready. Let's go up!"
A night watchman who was adjusting his trousers walked up to Ollie and said.
Today it was the two of them's turn to go on guard duty on the Great Wall of Despair during the day.
After being interrupted, Ollie adjusted his expression, nodded to his fellow night watchman, and walked towards the noose elevator in Castle Black.
The appearance of the noose elevator is a large iron cage suspended by many thick nooses.
It plays an important role in transporting supplies and Night Watch soldiers to the top of the Great Wall. However, it can only carry up to ten people and the same weight of supplies at a time.
Cack!
With the sound of the noose turning, Ollie and others endured the howling cold wind blowing through the iron cage and climbed to the top of the Great Wall.
"Oli, you have very dark circles under your eyes today! Hey, are you thinking about women at night?
Do you want to sneak out to Mole Village with me next time?"
The night watchman, who was much older than Ollie, suddenly smiled obscenely and made some remarks to tease Ollie.
"No, you'd better go on your own!
It’s just because I haven’t slept very well during this period and I’ve been having strange dreams!”
Ollie shook his head. He was not yet old enough to be interested in the night watchman's proposal.
"Hey, you don't understand Mole Village yet, but in two years you will be begging me to take you there!"
"..."
Faced with the chattering night watchman, Ollie responded silently. In a short time, the elevator cage had risen to the top of the Great Wall.
After the two of them left the iron cage, Ollie walked towards the cabin next to the elevator crane.
This warm hut with a bonfire is specially built for the guards to escape the cold weather.
Seeing Ollie and the two coming, the two night watchmen who were warming themselves by the fire in the hut stood up to prepare for the handover.
"Lord Baelish, you can go down and rest!"
Seeing the people in the hut, Ollie spoke very respectfully.
"Okay, now it's all your hard work!"
Hearing this, Littlefinger handed the standard bow and arrow to Ollie, and answered with a friendly smile.
Littlefinger has kept a very low profile since arriving at Castle Black on Robb's orders.
Although he has secretly stated his position in Ser Alliser's camp, he will never take the initiative to go against Jon.
Moreover, he never shirks his duty as a night watchman and completes them seriously.
"what is that?"
Baelish and another Night Watchman had just taken two steps when they heard Ollie's exclamation.
Ollie was considered an excellent archer in Castle Black, and his strength was naturally excellent. He suddenly saw a black spot in the sky approaching from outside the Great Wall.
"Yes... it's a giant dragon! It's so huge, I heard it burned the entire Winterfell population to death.
Now, are they going to attack us?"
As the distance between the black spots got closer, the night watchman next to Ollie spoke with a trembling voice.
Hooray, hooray!
Daenerys, who was sitting on Drogon's neck, looked at the approaching Great Wall. She turned around and looked at Jon, who was looking down and thinking, and asked: "How is it? After thinking for so long, you give me
Where’s the answer?”
"I'm sorry, I refuse your proposal!"
Hearing Daenerys' question, Jon raised his head and answered firmly.
When Daenerys heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she immediately said: "Why refuse? You leave the Night's Watch, let Robb Stark release the captured dragon, and give you the Iron Throne.
After the two of us get married, we will gather all our strength to stop the army of the dead from outside the Great Wall. Then we will rule Westeros and Essos together!
A perfect plan, isn't it?"
"Leave aside asking me to break my oath, leave the Night's Watch and release the dragons, do you think it's possible for Robb to give me the Iron Throne?"
"Hehe, didn't you advise me to put down my hatred and fight against the army of the dead together? In that case, why can't he give up the Iron Throne for the sake of justice?"
Hearing Jon's words, Daenerys chuckled lightly and responded with the righteousness of Jon's previous persuasion.
On the way back to the Great Wall from beyond the wall, the silent Daenerys suddenly made the suggestion to Jon. This caught Jon completely off guard and fell directly into silence.
For Daenerys, after the war in Dorne, the current situation is not good for her. If Robb is really willing to give up the Iron Throne for the sake of justice, then she can also choose peace temporarily.
When everything is settled and Robb loses the Iron Throne, she will have more opportunities to avenge the tragic death of her two children.
As for Jon's true identity, there is no problem in their marriage.
Her brother had mentioned many times that the ethics of ordinary people did not apply to the Targaryen family. To keep the noble dragon bloodline pure, it had to be a combination of relatively recent bloodlines.
And as long as she doesn't tell anyone, no one will know Jon's true identity. Everyone will only think that they are a combination of the Stark family and the Targaryen family.
Facing Daenerys's question in her own words, Jon was speechless for a moment.
However, he knew that Robb, who was very independent, could not give up the Iron Throne, and he also knew that he could not marry Daenerys for the sake of Jegocent and the oath he had made to watch until death.
"Sorry, my answer is still no!"
"Don't refuse so quickly. Maybe you will change your mind when the army of the dead comes to the Great Wall!"
While the two were talking, Drogon's flying speed became slower and slower. Finally, Drogon flapped his wings and hovered in front of the guard cabin at the top of the Great Wall.
"Si, Commander!"
Looking at Jon sitting with Daenerys on the dragon, the three Night Watchmen except Littlefinger shouted in unison.
"Her Majesty the Queen!"
Littlefinger saluted Daenerys with standard aristocratic etiquette.
Daenerys did not look directly at the four people on the top of the Great Wall, but turned to ask Jon behind her: "Should I put you here, or in the castle below?"
"Your Majesty, Jon Snow is the younger brother of Robb Stark. You burned down Winterfell and have become a mortal enemy of them. Therefore, you must not let him go!"
After hearing Daenerys' words, Littlefinger suddenly pointed at Jon with excitement and said.
He had previously specially designed Ser Alliser to force Jon to go to the Last Hearth to die in person. As a result, Jon was now sent back by Daenerys.
"Who are you?"
Upon hearing Littlefinger's words, Daenerys raised her eyebrows, turned to look at him and asked.
"I am the former Warden of the Vale, Petyr Baelish!
Tyrion Lannister and Varys made an agreement with me before leaving Westeros, allowing me to pretend to surrender to Robb Stark and secretly provide information!
Although I have been in Castle Black, most of the nobles in the valley are under my control. As soon as I return, I can offer you the valley immediately!"
Seeing the rightful master who had been waiting for him appear, Littlefinger had nothing to hide and directly answered Daenerys loudly.
In fact, at Robb's wedding, Littlefinger considered sincere surrender. After all, through the chaos of the Rebellion of Kings, he had already reached the level of Guardian of the Vale.
However, Littlefinger, who is good at observing words and expressions, can see that Robb truly hates him. It is as if he knows what he is doing to the Stark family behind the scenes.
Therefore, Littlefinger, who had already made the decision to seek refuge with Daenerys, calmly accepted Robb's punishment.
"Oh, so you are the Littlefinger that Tyrion was talking about!
Thank you for your advice! However, I am doing something..."
stop!
Just as Daenerys spoke with a look of surprise on her face, an arrow shot out of the top of the Great Wall in her direction very suddenly.
Bah!
At such a close distance, the arrow missed the target's body accurately, and blood immediately flowed out.
The reason why Drogon did not evade was not because he was too close to the top of the Great Wall. It was because he did not feel that he was in any danger, nor did Daenerys, who had a mysterious connection with him.
Because the arrow accidentally pierced Jon's left chest at the heart!
Jon, who had been distracted by what Littlefinger had just said, only then came to his senses.
With eyes wide open, he glanced down at the missing arrow on his left chest, and then looked up at the man shooting the arrow at the top of the Great Wall. Jon's vision went dark as his strength was rapidly draining from his body, and he fell directly from Drogon's back to the bottom of the Great Wall.
.
Daenerys's face changed drastically when she turned around and saw Jon fell. She immediately controlled Drogon to fold his wings and rush downwards like a sharp sword.
Hoo, ho!
At the top of the Great Wall, Ollie, who still maintained his shooting posture, kept breathing heavily. At the same time, he kept whispering in a low voice: "The crow in the dream was right, what does Jon Snow have?"
Qualified to forgive the savages!
He who is close to the wildlings is a traitor to our Night's Watch.
As long as he doesn't die, I will never be able to avenge the savage massacre of the village!
I...did nothing wrong!"
"Oli, what did you idiot do? We did say we wanted Jon dead! But we can't do it ourselves!
Why are you still standing there? Take him down quickly!"
After Littlefinger reprimanded him, he waved to the two stunned Night Watchmen to take Ollie back to Castle Black.
In his mind, he thought that Olly acted rashly because he heard him discussing with Ser Alliser to kill Jon.
Cack!
The two night watchmen heard Littlefinger's order and quickly pulled the somewhat distracted Ollie into the elevator.
Hooray, hooray!
When the three of them took the elevator, the huge Drogon flapped his wings and flew to the top of the Great Wall again.
Holding Jon in her arms who was bleeding from an arrow in her chest, Daenerys, whose eyes were filled with rage, asked in a tone as cold as ice: "Where was that archer just now?"
Even though Daenerys herself had never practiced martial arts, she at least knew that Jon, who had an arrow in his heart, was hopeless.
Although Daenerys did not express it on the surface, she was lonely and lonely in her heart, but she was still full of joy for the appearance of Jon, her nephew.
But now, she is living alone in this world!
"Your Majesty, it is in our interests that Jon Snow dies. Ollie is just a little reckless..."
"Where's that Ollie?"
Looking at Daenerys who didn't listen to her at all and asked Olly again in a cold tone, her little finger flashed her eyes, pointed to the elevator next to her and replied: "He went down to Castle Black!"
Hooray!
Drogon's huge dragon body passed over Littlefinger's head, and the strong air flow caused by the flapping of his wings almost made him lose his footing.
The highest point of the Great Wall is nearly 700 feet (about 213 meters). Other areas will be shorter, but the difference is not very big.
Therefore, even though Daenerys had delayed some time just now, the elevator had only descended to the middle of the Great Wall at this time.
Ah! It’s a dragon!
When Drogon flew above Castle Black and faced the iron cage of the elevator, various noisy sounds came from Castle Black below.
But Daenerys, who was in a state of extreme anger, turned a deaf ear. She just stared at Ollie in the iron cage.
"Burn them all! (Burn them all!)..."
The Mad King's voice sounded in Daenerys' ears again, and the repeated voice was like the whisper of a demon.
Daenerys lowered her head and glanced at Jon in her arms. When she raised her head again, her eyes were full of determination.
"Dragon Flame!"
Oops!
A large stream of green and white dragon flames spat out from Drogon's mouth onto the iron cage, and the three Ollie in the cage were burned to death immediately.
Then the continuous output of blue and white dragon flames directly melted the entire iron cage into bright red iron juice.
Zhi,zhi!
The hot blue and white dragon flames melted the iron cage, and the ice on the surface of the Great Wall, which had experienced more than 8,000 years of wind and frost, melted massively, and a large stream of water vapor rose up.
Boom, boom, boom!
Several spears and crossbows fired from the Black Castle below towards Drogon, who continued to spit out dragon flames in the air.
Just now, when the giant dragon appeared in the sky above Castle Black, it caused a big commotion. Sam and Owen directly ordered as many as four thousand northern soldiers to prepare for battle.
Even though the Night's Watch, headed by Sam, Eddie and others, objected to a rash fight, in an emergency, the Night's Watch with more than a hundred people had no right to speak.
When they saw the dragon breathing fire and attacking the elevator, Sam and Owen looked at each other and ordered the attack without any hesitation.
Feeling the threat of spears and crossbows, Drogon easily dodged and lowered his dragon's neck.
The green and white dragon flames that continued to spit out made an 'L' shape, burning from the middle of the Great Wall to the Black Castle directly below.
Peng, Peng, Peng!
The giant crossbows built on top of the towers of Castle Black were successively blown up by the blue and white dragon flames, and dozens of northern soldiers were burned to charcoal by the dragon flames on the spot.
Ho, ho!
The buildings of Castle Black are basically wooden structures, which provide a large amount of burning material for the blue and white dragon flames. In the blink of an eye, the entire Castle Black became a sea of flames.
Quick, run away!
Facing this completely different level of battle, whether they were northern soldiers, night watchmen or free people, they all shouted loudly and fled towards the southern gate of Castle Black.
Little Finger at the top of the Great Wall also heard the noise below, but after the elevator melted, he now has no way to go down to Castle Black.
Boom boom boom!
Just when Littlefinger was at a loss what to do, his ears suddenly heard muffled sounds. Then, the ground he stepped on began to vibrate.
With a terrible thought in his mind, Littlefinger's eyes widened violently, and he desperately ran away towards the Oakenshield Castle to the east.
Puch, puch!
I don’t know whether it was because the hot dragon flames spitting out an ‘L’ shape melted the ice on the surface, causing the overall structure of the Great Wall to be damaged. Or it was because some mysterious factors of the Great Wall were affected.
This desperate Great Wall, which had stood for more than 8,000 years, collapsed inward with the secret passage leading to the outside of the Great Wall as the center!
Thousands of tons of ice and boulders fell from a height of 100 meters along with snow and ice like a dust storm. For those who had not yet had time to escape Castle Black, this was a doomsday disaster!
