One landed on a branch and looked at the black knight below, then tilted its head and let out a piercing cry, then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Since the Night's Watch recaptured Winterfell, it has been like a horse race, and has successively recaptured other castles and villages in the north, including the last Hearth City.
Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont of the Night's Watch led the army to regain most of the lost territory in the north. However, before he could regain his homeland, he rushed to the Great Wall on Bear Island on Ice Bay.
.
This is the hometown of all soldiers of the Night's Watch. Ever since Jeor Mormont took the oath on the weirwood, he is no longer the Earl of Bear Island, but the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch. For him, the responsibility is greater than
personal feelings.
The Great Wall of Despair still towers majestically above the earth. It is about three hundred miles long and seven hundred feet high. It stretches endlessly and has no end at a glance, covering half of the sky.
The knight in black rode his horse and stood on the hillside facing the wind and snow above his head, looking at the Great Wall in the distance.
The towering Great Wall was so impressive that the recruits of the Night's Watch couldn't help but whisper to each other when they saw this scene, feeling the awe rising from the bottom of their hearts.
However, when the wildlings blew the Horn of Winter, the collapsed part was so conspicuous. It was like a hole in a magnificent dam. No matter how strong the defense was, it was of no help. The wildlings and the White Walkers got through this hole.
In came cholera throughout the lands of Westeros.
"Now that I see it again, I want to kill the savage again!"
"Stannis acted too soon. The wildling king should first repent of his terrible crimes before being executed."
Ed Stark rode his horse and stood on a high hill. The biting cold wind blew the wolfskin cloak on his shoulders. He looked at the collapsed section of the Great Wall in the distance, and then he couldn't help but speak in a hoarse voice.
Mance Rayder, the king of the free folk, blew the Horn of Winter and collapsed the Great Wall. However, his actions directly allowed the White Walkers to cross the Great Wall and invade the lands of the Seven Kingdoms behind the Great Wall.
During the great exodus in the north, tens of thousands of people fled their homes, and how many people fell forever on the road away from their homes.
Their wives, husbands, children, parents and even they froze to death. After they starved to death, people did not dare to bury the bodies. As a thought in the future, they could only burn all the bodies with a fire to prevent them from being blown by the cold wind.
Then he became a new enemy.
On the other side, Bunyan, who was following his brother on horseback, turned his head and glanced at Ed after hearing this, then shook his head silently and did not speak.
He really wanted to say that these savages were also trying to survive. If Mance Rayder did not blow the Horn of Winter and the Wall would not be opened to them, then all his people would die at the hands of the White Walkers.
In the final analysis, this was Robert's responsibility. Robert insisted that they kneel down and surrender before they could pass the Great Wall. However, the free people insisted on refusing to kneel down. After all, they held the artifact in their hands that could break the Great Wall.
But if we put it this way, after the savages enter the Great Wall of Despair, they will not engage in production, farming, or herding, and will only survive by plundering, which will inevitably harm the people of the Seven Kingdoms.
As the king of the Seven Kingdoms, it seems understandable that Robert protects his people and rejects the wildlings.
But it's no use talking about it now. Everything has passed. The man has passed away. The grass on Robert's grave is now several feet high. I don't know if anyone besides Eddard will weed him. For this reason
There is no need to argue with your brother about trivial matters.
Although Bunyan hated the savages because they killed many of his brothers, Bunyan also knew best that the savages were also human beings. It was just that before the Great Wall was built, their ancestors chose to live on the other side and were therefore isolated.
Come on.
But how could the noble and honorable Eddard Stark understand how the wildlings lived?
"When we get to Castle Black, I'll leave for there."
"Get Lyanna back."
Bunyan did not answer his brother's words. He held the reins with one hand, then turned his head and spoke in a relaxed tone.
However, Benyan's words made Ed's heart sink slightly. He looked at his youngest brother with a pair of gray eyes, and the neatly trimmed beard on his chin was also slightly gray.
"Bunyan."
Since the last time he was in the crypt of Winterfell, Eddard told Benyan that when he reached the Wall, he wanted to ask Commander Mormont for orders to go north of the Wall to track the traces of the White Walkers, one man, one horse and one sword.
, to get his sister back.
However, Ed's decision encountered strong opposition from Bunyan.
Regarding life outside the Great Wall, Ed could not be more familiar or experienced than himself.
And although Ed is now wearing black clothes, he is the former Duke of Winterfell after all. He has his own sisters-in-law, including Robb, Sansa, Jon, Arya and Bran, but he is alone.
Unfettered, unencumbered.
He is more suitable for adventure than Ed.
Therefore, Bunyan strongly opposed Eddard to go into danger alone, and he was willing to go north to the beyond the wall in place of his brother.
After all, he also has an obligation to find Lyanna, who is his sister.
The final result of the argument between the two brothers was that Eddard could not speak against Bunyan.
Perhaps he has not completely let go of his wife and children in his heart, and cannot fully live for himself.
Both Stark brothers inherited the straightforward character of the people from the North, and there was not so much hypocrisy. Benyan was willing to take risks on his brother's behalf, and Eddard did not do so deliberately.
"I owe you my life, Bunyan."
Then the dark-brown-haired middle-aged man spoke in a serious tone, causing even the smile on Bunyan's face to slowly fade.
He looked at Ed with the same piercing eyes, and then made a solemn promise.
"I will come back alive, brother."
"Lyanna will also be brought back."
With no end in sight, the soldiers of the Night's Watch Legion stationed themselves in Castle Black, which had collapsed for several years. The main task waiting for the Legion next was to repair the Great Wall.
Although according to mythology, spells and magic are woven into the interior of the Great Wall to strengthen it and prevent mysterious species from crossing, such as the White Walkers.
But from a military perspective, the Great Wall still cannot be allowed to expose such a large gap. If it can be repaired, it is better to do everything possible to repair it.
The two Stark brothers also followed the team and arrived at the collapsed Black Castle.
Benyan rested in the city for a night and made adequate preparations. After getting permission from Commander-in-Chief Mormont, he did not say goodbye to anyone the next morning, nor did he tell his brother in advance what time it would be.
leave.
Then he was alone, with his horse and sword and a long back. He was submerged in the wind and snow, and he rode towards the unknown end of the north.
