Game of Thrones Starts with the Lord Blast System

Chapter 152: Arrive at Castle Black

The farther north you go, the more sparsely populated the farmhouses become, and ultimately the less traveled.

When I set up tents again, took care of horses, and made a fire to keep warm, I could already see the towering figure of the Great Wall of Despair in the distance.

Seen from ten miles away, this gray-blue line spanning the northern horizon stretches uninterruptedly to the east and west until it disappears into the distance, as if to announce: This is the end of the world.

"This is the largest building I have ever seen in my life." Little bear girl Lyanna sighed.

Lynn snorted, "I've seen the Great Wall more magnificent than this."

Lyanna didn't believe it at all, "Nonsense."

Lynn was too lazy to explain.

At noon the next day, we set off from Baigang City, and it took about ten days of marching. The expeditionary army finally arrived outside the Black Castle under the Great Wall.

When the sun clears the clouds, it shows its face.

Lynn turned his back to the sun, raised his eyes to the Great Wall, and watched the city wall shone with crystal blue light in the sun.

Countless generations of sandstorm and sludge have left imprints on the city wall, like a covering film, so that the city wall sometimes turns light gray, like a hazy sky...

But when the sky shines directly on a sunny day, the Great Wall shines as if alive, like a blue and white cliff that cuts across half the sky.

"Here, my lord."

Hearing the cow's voice, Lynn stuck his head out of the carriage and looked at the messy buildings covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Lynn had a hard time believing that this was the legendary Castle Black.

There are no walls and no gates.

It is simply an illegal building built against the ice wall of the Great Wall of Despair.

In front of him is a small open space, like a simple training ground.

The wooden towers and stone towers behind the training ground looked like toy blocks scattered in the snow.

The ancient fortress of the Night's Watch is far inferior to the Twins City or White Harbor City that Lynn has seen, and it can't even be called a decent castle.

Crucially, it has no walls.

Unable to resist attacks from east, west and south, the only concern of the Night's Watch is the north, and towering north of the Black Fort is the Great Wall of Despair.

The chief advisor, Maester Aemon Targaryen, Alisa Thorne, the head of Castle Black, waited for a long time in the cold wind.

The chief advisor of the Night's Watch, Maester Aemon is an old scholar with the blood of a dragon king. In order to avoid disputes over the throne, he came to the Great Wall of Desolation when he was young to serve the Night's Watch.

Maester Aemon was old and strong, gray-haired but full of spirit, not at all like an old man who was nearly a hundred years old.

He was the first to say hello: "Lord Lynn Rothschild, oh, and the little girl from the Mormont family, you are welcome, you have added a lot to Castle Black."

Lynn smiled and nodded, "The old bachelor doesn't need to be too polite. Because of the ancient and sacred sense of mission, the bachelor resolutely joined the night watchman's deeds, which greatly impressed Lynn."

Lyanna also saluted Maester Aemon, "Thank you Maester Aemon for your compliment. I don't know how the situation outside the Great Wall is now. What other families have received a letter from the Night's Watch and came to Castle Black?"

Maester Aemon heard the words with a wry smile and said, "Commander Jeor brought an army of three hundred Night's Watchmen to talk to Mance. We received a raven message from your uncle Jeor more than ten days ago, Mance, the king beyond the wall. An army of 100,000 wildlings gathered in the Frost Fang.

I heard that there is a serious shortage of food outside the Great Wall this year, and rumors of cannibalism among the savages have already spread. If the situation worsens, the savages may challenge the Great Wall of Despair, which will surely become a land of corpses and blood.

Military control has been started along the Great Wall from a few days ago! "

Little bear girl Lyanna said in surprise: "Did my uncle Jeor Mormont not come back with a letter recently?"

Maester Aemon shook his head solemnly and said: "Jeo led the army to the Fist of the First Men, a defensive point stuck on Mance Red's only path. We don't know what is going on outside the Great Wall. ."

Castle Black instructor Elissa Thorne sneered: "Maester Aemon released all the ravens of Castle Black, and the letter from the Night's Watch asking for help was sent to the Seven Kingdoms ten days ago, but you are still from Castle Black. The first guests."

As he said this, he said with a full face: "In the Great Wall, including the batch of recruits Yoren recruited from King's Landing, there are barely 300 people who can defend it. If the food and grass are not ready, there are 300 people. In addition to the Great Wall like a moat, even without the assistance of the Seven Kingdoms, no matter how many savages there are, they will not be able to cross the Great Wall."

Three hundred people defended one hundred thousand wildlings.

It seems like the confidence from a madman, but Lynn knows that this is the night watchman's extremely strong confidence in the defense ability of the Great Wall they are guarding.

Lynn thought for a while, but still reminded: "It's really not that easy for a savage to cross the Great Wall, but if you come in from the sea, you can't say it."

Arisa Thorne shook her head resolutely and said, "Carter Pike is stationed in the East China Sea, and so many savages can't enter the North by sea..."

Lynn frowned when he heard the words, and didn't bother to say anything.

At this moment, Maester Aemon answered, "I don't know why Earl Lynn led your army here?"

The little bear girl Lyanna also looked at Lynn with doubts when she heard the words.

On the way the two walked together, Lynn kept secret about his purpose of coming to the Great Wall.

Now that he has arrived at Castle Black, he wonders if Lynn will confide in his heart.

She knew that Lynn hadn't received a letter from the Night's Watch asking for help before he set off, so he must have another purpose in his trip.

Seeing a few inquiring eyes, Lynn let out a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Master Aemon, "I plan to go outside the Great Wall."

Upon hearing the words, Aemon sighed: "Beyond the Great Wall is now in chaos and danger, so it is better for Lord Earl to give up the idea of ​​continuing north."

Arisa Thorne also warned, "Beyond the Great Wall there is nothing like the warm north, where the wildlings can easily tear you apart, no matter how many troops you have. And in the dark night, it is fortunate that more terrible monsters appear, than Savages are a hundred times scarier..."

It was the first time someone described the North with warm words. Lin En was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. Compared with here and outside the Great Wall, isn't the North as warm as spring?

"The monster you're talking about is a blue-eyed White Walker, right? I've seen this thing and killed it myself."

Lynn spoke very seriously, but was taken as bragging by the three of them.

Even Lyanna stared at a pair of blue eyes, looking at Lynn's eyes, full of suspicion.

Arisa Thorne said solemnly: "Earl Lynn, the blue-eyed monsters we are talking about are aggressive monsters with blue eyes, not blue-eyed beggars."
