- Chapter 677 - The Red Queen Arrives at the Wall
Seven days and nights later.
Outside the Great Wall, in the Haunted Forest.
A giant wolf with snow-white hair ran out of the forest, limping and walking with difficulty.
The giant wolf was five meters long and two meters tall at the shoulder.
Even standing on the snow, it was still so conspicuous.
Ding Ding!
A rapid bell rang from the Great Wall, which was the sentry’s warning.
“During this period, wildlings have entered the Great Wall every day, and the public security has been getting worse and worse.”
Cregan walked on the top of the city wall and reported with a lost look.
Rhaegar walked side by side with him and said firmly: “We must continue to accept them. The free people will be self-governing. If there is any trouble, we will find the tribal leader.”
Ding Ding!
The sound of the bell rang in their ears, and the two looked up at the same time.
Rhaegar walked quickly to the observation deck and saw the snow-white giant wolf at a glance.
“Is that a dire wolf, and it’s white!?”
Cregan’s eyes widened. It was the first time he saw the symbol of the Stark family.
“There is someone on the wolf’s back.”
Rhaegar had better eyesight, so he turned around and walked down the city wall.
He saw it clearly.
On the back of the giant wolf was a figure in black armor, an unsullied person who was going out.
Riding the long winch ladder down the Great Wall, the Night’s Watch had put the giant wolf into the underground passage.
The figure on the wolf’s back fell to the ground, revealing its true face on its back.
“Grey Worm!?”
Rhaegar took a closer look and hurriedly lifted it up.
“Hiss!”
The dire wolf bared its teeth and threatened to pounce forward.
“Quiet, we have no ill intentions.”
Cregan arrived later and opened his arms to try to stop the giant wolf.
The dire wolf seemed to understand human words. It looked at Grey Worm and the nearby humans warily, and slowly retreated to the corner and curled up.
On its left hind leg, a large piece of flesh was missing.
The wound looked like a bite wound, and it had frozen and smelled.
Cregan breathed rapidly and silently stood in front of the king.
“It’s Grey Worm, he was attacked.”
Rhaegar quickly checked the wound, picked up Grey Worm and walked back.
At this moment, Grey Worm was stiff all over, and his thick lips were bloodless.
The main injury came from the penetrating wound in the abdomen, and the remaining hands and feet were covered with bite marks, which showed excessive blood loss.
“Hold on, I’ll take you to see the maester.”
Rhaegar looked grim and walked straight into the library of Castle Black.
Grey Worm was his capable general, the commander of five thousand Unsullied and three thousand Fearless, and a commander who could command large-scale operations.
If it weren’t for the situation of the White Walkers that had to be investigated, he would not have let him take risks.
Unexpectedly, the worst situation still happened.
Not only was Grey Worm seriously injured, but the sharpshooter Rob, the little giant Boru, the giant Nunu and others who were traveling with him were unknown whether they were alive or dead, and they didn’t even come back.
Bang!
Kicking open the door of the attic of the library, Rhaegar said in a deep voice: “Tru, come and save me.”
The attic was filled with all kinds of alchemical tools, and the airtight brick and stone house was filled with an indescribable strange smell.
A tall, fat figure stood in front of the lab table, mixing green liquid.
“Be careful, Your Majesty.”
Tru was startled, carefully put down the green solution, and wiped his hands on the gray bachelor’s robe.
Rhaegar put Grey Worm on the bed in the corner and scolded: “Stop talking nonsense, human life is at stake.”
Tru looked aggrieved, took off Grey Worm’s armor and treated him skillfully.
“It’s a penetrating wound in the abdomen, but the sharp weapon is very strange and didn’t hurt the vital parts.”
“There are many wounds on the body, and they need to be washed with special liquid.”
Rhaegar stood aside and watched Tru muttering.
Not long after, Grey Worm was bandaged like a mummy.
“The injury is very serious, especially frostbite.”
Tru wiped the sweat off his face and panted slightly: “But his physical fitness is very good, he will definitely survive.”
Rhaegar didn’t respond, and his right hand released a hazy black mist.
“Hiss~~”
The Ouroboros with a flat body came out and lay on the mummy of Grey Worm, greedily devouring the black air all over it.
For a long time.
“Cough cough…”
Grey Worm coughed violently, a mouthful of dirty blood gushed out of his throat, and he woke up.
“How are you?”
Rhaegar asked with concern.
When Grey Worm opened his eyes and saw the long-lost King, his eyes were filled with tears: “White Walkers! We encountered White Walkers, and Robb and his men were separated.”
That day, they were surrounded by the army of wights, and they finally fought their way out.
But they were stopped by the White Walkers on horseback in the dark, and almost all of them were wiped out.
The White Walkers were arrogant, and their ice-blue eyes did not regard humans as a threat.
Grey Worm found this and found an opportunity to fight the White Walkers alone.
Unexpectedly, in one round, the hardwood spear was beaten into powder by the ice spear, and then pierced through the abdomen.
The severe pain made him faint, and it was dark when he woke up.
Robb and his men and the army of wights all disappeared, leaving only him, a fainted man.
Fortunately, the direwolf returned the same way and did not eat him, but carried him away instead.
He saved his life.
“Your Majesty, Robb and his men are missing.”
Grey Worm lowered his head in guilt and couldn’t help sobbing: “What should we do?”
“You should rest and recover first.”
Rhaegar said softly.
He secretly mobilized the power of runes and urged the Ouroboros to speed up the healing.
Creaking——
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a green figure broke in.
Sniff~~
The Son of the Forest’s nostrils twitched slightly, and he said in surprise: “It’s the power of the ancestors’ sacrifices, and the stench of the corpses of the White Walkers.”
The small figure moved quickly, rushed to the bed and looked back and forth.
First, he saw the Ouroboros breathing out black air, and his green eyes revealed a hint of hatred.
Then he saw the gray worm wrapped like a mummy, and his hatred was replaced by fear. He picked up the arm covered with scratches and looked at it.
“Be careful, he’s still injured.”
Tru was a kind-hearted doctor and poked the squirrel man.
The son of the forest bared his teeth, and scared the fat maester back again and again.
“Don’t scare him, he’s a treasure.”
Rhaegar held the squirrel man’s head and pulled his chestnut hair aside.
Terry was proficient in alchemy and knew how to make wildfire.
That thing was better than kerosene and easier to make than pumpkin bombs. It was a weapon to guard the Great Wall.
“That’s right.”
Terry nodded his head and hugged his fat self with both hands.
The son of the forest shook his head and said nervously: “The white walkers are out, right?”
She was not wrong. The injured were bitten by the wights.
Rhaegar’s eyes flashed, and he said cautiously: “There are white walkers outside the Wall, and the army of dead has been summoned.”
The army of dead is terrifying, and it is not something that human armies can fight against.
When the dragons are unwilling to cross the Wall and are not used to the cold in the North.
The strength of the white walkers is still unknown, and they are still enemies hiding in the shadows.
“If we want to defend the Wall, we must first get out of the Wall.”
The Children of the Forest muttered mysteriously: “Find the heart tree outside the Wall, and the Green Prophet will tell us how to fight the White Walkers.”
“Aren’t you the Green Prophet?”
Rhaegar frowned slightly.
The Children of the Forest are a peculiar race, with brown skin and chestnut hair, small stature and a pair of big ears.
The Children of the Forest with green eyes are usually the Green Prophet in the tribe.
Possessing the magical “green vision”, they can predict future changes.
“I am a green prophet, but not the strongest green prophet.”
The Son of the Forest looked tense and lowered his voice: “Only the strongest green prophet in the tribe, who has the power to foresee everything, can see through the weaknesses of the White Walkers.”
Ordinary green prophets only know magic and have the ability to foresee.
This can’t deal with the White Walkers under the command of the God of Cold.
Even the ancestors holding bronze tools can’t beat them.
Hearing this, Rhaegar thought secretly and said in a deep voice: “My dragon can cross the Great Wall, but the strength of the White Walkers is still unknown.”
Robb and the others are still outside the Great Wall, so it is necessary to try to rescue them.
More importantly, he wants to test the details of the White Walkers himself.
While the so-called Night King has not awakened yet, this is the best time before the arrival of winter.
“The White Walkers have the power to awaken the dead, and they themselves are not that powerful.”
The Son of the Forest’s eyes are bright, and he said actively: “As long as we find the legendary heart tree and the green prophet, we can kill all the White Walkers.”
Rhaegar’s thoughts turned, and he suddenly thought of the witch Quei Lizard in Slaver’s Bay.
Of the three prophecies of the witch, two are easy to understand.
The dead dragon may refer to his second son Aemon.
The dragon did not rot underground. I don’t know if it means Aemon is not dead, or there is another reason.
After all, the Trickster fell at sea, and neither the man nor the dragon had the chance to be buried under the soil.
The second one is that people with injured knees cannot climb high, but I didn’t know what it meant at first.
When the dragons such as the Glutton were unwilling to cross the Wall, Rhaegar gradually understood.
The Wall has special magic protection and is a solid barrier to isolate the White Walkers.
Perhaps if they don’t go out, the White Walkers can’t come in.
The last prophecy is the same as the suicide note of the Dragonless Vaegon.
Rhaegar believes that the solution to the White Walkers may be related to Asshai in the east.
But the Children of the Forest said that the Heart Tree and the Greenseer can solve the White Walkers, and the two sides’ statements conflict.
Compared with the eccentric Children of the Forest, he trusts the mysterious witch Que Lizard more.
For no other reason, just because Que Lizard can play a trick on him once.
The ability is beyond doubt.
“Take good care of your wounds and don’t think too much.”
Rhaegar put away his Ouroboros and patted Grey Worm on the shoulder.
The Son of the Forest looked at him with a gleaming look, expecting an answer.
Rhaegar ignored him, told Tru to take good care of Grey Worm, and went out by the chestnut curly hair of the Son of the Forest.
The Wall had to go out, but there had to be a rule.
…
The Bay of Seals, Eastwatch.
The Wall stretched thousands of miles from east to west, and the easternmost wall extended into the sea water of the Bay of Seals.
The Night’s Watch built more than a dozen fortresses along the Wall to guard against invasions by White Walkers and wildlings.
The fortress guarding the Bay of Seals was called Eastwatch.
Splash…
The cold sea water slapped the shore, and broken ice drifted on the sea.
A fleet flying a green seahorse flag was anchored, and thousands of troops landed one after another.
“Hiss!”
A majestic dragon with scarlet scales all over its body and ferocious horns all over its neck soared into the sky and patrolled around the end of the frost-covered Great Wall.
It was so fast that it looked like a red lightning.
Boom——
The scarlet dragon slowly landed, stirring up the snow all over the sky.
“What’s the situation, Rhaenys?”
Corliss, wearing thick cotton armor, stood calmly in front of the scarlet dragon.
“Lie down, old girl.”
Rhaenys gently soothed the restless Melias and replied to her husband: “There are not many Night’s Watchmen in Eastwatch, but fortunately there is no sign of wildlings attacking the city.”
Melias was unwilling to cross the Great Wall, even at the end of the Great Wall.
That’s all she could see.
“Don’t worry, the Night’s Watchmen are not that useless.”
Corliss smiled slightly and took off his cloak to cover his wife.
Thanks to the importance that His Majesty the Elderly King attached to the Night’s Watch, the Night’s Watch received a lot of land and funds to repair the fortress.
Viserys inherited his grandfather’s ambition and was also relatively generous to the Night’s Watch.
Until Rhaegar succeeded to the throne, the strength of the Night’s Watch was not inferior to the sum of the nobles of one realm.
“Hiss!”
As he was speaking, a light silver dragon flew over the Bay of Seals and flew west along the Wall.
“Where is Lanino going?”
Rhaenys said nervously.
Her premonition told her that the Wall was very dangerous.
Corliss glanced at it and said seriously: “The Bay of Seals froze in advance, and we are already late.”
“I don’t know what the situation is at Castle Black, Lanino has to support us first.”
Rhaenys frowned slightly, but still said cautiously: “Viserys said that the White Walkers really exist, and we have to be on guard.”
She always remembered the main purpose of supporting the North.
“Don’t worry about the child, he is no longer the young boy he used to be.”
Corliss puffed out his chest and said proudly: “Besides, the royal family doesn’t have any extra dragons, right?”
The Velaryon family always stands at the top of the Seven Kingdoms.
It is the most reliable ally of the Targaryen family, an ancient noble from ancient Valyria.
