Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Chapter 307 Jon Snow

There was chaos in Castle Black, and there were rumors that spies had spotted the Stark vanguard cavalry near the ruins of Queen's Crown.

The abandoned village is located less than 25 leagues south of Castle Black. Legend has it that Queen Alysanne Targaryen, one of the greatest monarchs in the history of the Targaryen dynasty, King Jaehaerys I, once lived in the tower of the village. He slept there, so the villagers later called it the 'Queen's Crown' and painted the walls at the top of the tower gold.

Jon Snow had passed by it on the way to the Great Wall, and the five-story fortress-like tower that stood out among the low-rise buildings left a deep impression on him.

I heard that Tommen said that his uncle Tyrion first realized the value of the ruins after the wildlings captured Castle Black, sent people to repair and fortify Backcrown, and stationed a team of wildling soldiers there.

That place was too small after all. A tower that could only accommodate less than a hundred people had no chance of blocking his father's army. After capturing Queen's Crown Town, the Winterfell army could march straight to Castle Black unimpeded.

Although Jon was a prisoner of the wildlings, he was not strictly imprisoned. In the past two months, he has always had the power to move freely in Castle Black, so he is the most important to the Night's Watch standing under the desperate Great Wall. The fortress is fairly well understood.

Strictly speaking, Castle Black cannot be regarded as a real castle at all, because it has no city walls on its east, west, and south sides, and only the Great Wall stands on the north side. It consists of several stone towers and wooden fortresses. There are underground passages called "worm passages" under the fortresses and towers that connect them to each other.

If the enemy comes from the north, relying on the Great Wall that reaches into the clouds, Castle Black is the most easily defended and difficult to attack fortress in the world. But when the enemy comes from the south, for the defender, its defensive capabilities It can only be said that it is slightly better than direct field battle.

Today, there are a total of 70,000 savages stationed in Castle Black, most of whom are old, weak, women and children, and they are all placed outside the castle. The limit of about 5,000 people stationed inside Castle Black is already high.

The most elite young men among the wildlings followed the 'King Beyond the Wall' Malvern (player) south not long ago. They said they would capture Winterfell and then seize the entire northern border. But if the news brought back by the defeated army is correct, They have been completely annihilated by Father.

This was good news for Jon, but he found that he couldn't be happy about it.

During this time, he lived with these wild men, trained with them, and shared food with them. So much so that he sometimes forgot that he came north to join the Night Watch.

Jon still doesn't know what the Night's Watch is like. The only Night's Watch he knows is his uncle Benjen, and he has never seen his uncle since the ambush.

The young man followed his uncle north to the Great Wall with the dream of pursuing honor, but he was ambushed by savages on the way. From then on, his fate took a turn and turned him into half a savage.

Why can't we live in peace? Jon often had this question.

After spending time together, he understood the reasons why these savages or free people went south. They just wanted to survive. The Northern Territory is large enough for these free people to settle down. In fact, not to mention the entire Northern Territory. Even just this "granted land" south of the Great Wall of Despair is enough for the free people to settle down.

When my father's army arrives at Castle Black, I must make a request to him for the free people, Jon thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking about the future, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Jon...something happened!"

"Just come." Jon recognized Tommen's voice.

He and Tommen have always had a good relationship. Unlike Joffrey, who is arrogant and domineering, this little fat man is docile and shy, and usually likes to read. It is hard for Jon to imagine that a pair of brothers can have such completely opposite personalities.

This reminded him of his half-sisters Sansa and Arya. Sansa is the most traditional lady, with a strong interest in music, poetry, singing, dancing and other "female leisure activities" such as embroidery. Interested, I often look forward to the love stories of handsome princes or noble knights in fairy tales.

Arya is not like a girl at all. She has no interest in anything related to "lady". Instead, she only wants to be a knight. People often say that she inherited the strong character of her aunt Lyanna Stark.

I don't know how they are doing now, but they are in Winterfell and there is no danger in any case. The one who really needs to worry is Bran. He was pushed from the tower by the Kingslayer. He didn't wake up until he left Winterfell. It's not known whether he is awake now.

Is Robb becoming more of a qualified lord than before? Is Rickon still as crybaby as before?

Being among the wildlings, Jon had no chance to communicate with his family in Winterfell. The wildlings didn't know how to raise ravens, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't give him a chance to communicate with the 'enemy'.

Jon quickly came to the entrance of the room and opened the door, and saw a fat man with blond curly hair staggering in.

Tommen had an eager look on his face, panting heavily, hot breath spurting out from his mouth and nose, condensing into mist in the cold air.

"What happened?" Jon asked quickly when he saw this.

"Ghost." Tommen gasped, "Ghost."

"What's wrong with Ghost?" Ghost is the name of the direwolf that Jon raised.

Jon and his brothers went to the wilderness to watch his father Eddard execute a deserter of the Night's Watch. On the way back to the city, they found a dead female direwolf. There were six cubs around the direwolf. The five gray ones corresponded to Duke Eddard's five children, and the remaining white cubs were given to Jon, the bastard son of the same species, who he named Ghost.

"Joffrey! He he..." Tommen probably ran too fast. In this extreme northern winter, running in thick fur, he still hasn't been able to slow down.

But Jon's face had darkened. No matter what happened, as long as he got involved with that guy Joffrey, nothing good would happen.

"Where?" Jon asked urgently, without waiting for Tommen to fully introduce the matter, "Just point it to me."

Tommen took Jon to the wooden stairs outside, and then pointed in the direction of the chapel from a distance.

Jon didn't dare to delay, and immediately rushed downstairs, but as soon as he ran two steps, he quickly returned to the room, picked up his sword, and headed back to the chapel.

Castle Black was not big. Jon ran all the way and soon arrived outside the chapel. He pushed aside the wildlings who were watching the fun outside and squeezed into the crowd.

After passing through the crowded crowd, Jon's field of vision finally broadened, and the scene that came into view immediately made him furious.

Ghost was lying on the ground struggling with scars, and a dead fat hare fell from his mouth. It was obvious that he was attacked by these people after returning to Castle Black after completing the hunt.

Joffrey stood not far from Ghost. Beside him was a group of savage teenagers who were still throwing rocks at Ghost.

"Smash that beast to death!" Joffrey laughed heartily and waved the 'lion's tooth' in his hand, "Smash it to death and let Stark taste our power!"

Under Joffrey's order, a wildling boy smashed a sharp gravel in his hand at Ghost, hitting it accurately on the head.

"Stop it!" Jon's blood surged, "What are you doing?"

"Oh? Lord Snow is here? Can't you see? We are taking revenge on your Stark family! Isn't your family emblem a direwolf? Then we will kill this beast!" Joffrey smiled even more Happy, "By the way, I forgot that you are not a Stark, you are just a bastard of the Stark family!"

Joffrey said as he threw another stone with his own hands.

Seeing this, Jon quickly jumped on Ghost, using his body to block Ghost's blow. The stone hit Jon's back heavily, and a sharp pain came from it.

"I told you to stop!" Jon drew his sword and pointed it at Joffrey, shouting angrily.

Seeing this, the wildlings around Joffrey picked up their weapons and stood in front of him.

Unlike Jon's hostage status, Joffrey is Tyrion's nephew, and Tyrion is the most important ally of the King Beyond the Wall. The weapons, armor, and most of the food of the free people come from the Lannister fleet. Sent to the north, Joffrey has a high status among these wildling youths.

"Kill him!" Seeing that Jon dared to draw his sword and point it at him, Joffrey couldn't help but burst into anger. "Kill that bastard! Kill that bastard from the Stark family and give his head to Eddard. ·Stark!”

As Joffrey finished speaking, the three wildlings really took up their weapons and rushed towards Jon.

Jon was not afraid at all and immediately made a gesture to parry. He had been receiving swordsmanship training since he could walk. Even his brother Robb's swordsmanship was not as good as his. Even with one against three, Jon had no idea of ​​backing down.

"Enough, the farce ends here." However, a voice stopped them just before the two sides came into contact.

Jon and the wildling boys all looked at the middle-aged man Kyle who was speaking. He was a Thane man and was considered to be a fierce fighter second only to the leader of Thane, 'Magna' Stid, and he was not like the others. The Thenns also followed the tradition of using bronze weapons, but instead used the sharpest iron tools.

In addition, this man has another identity. He is a close confidant of Malvern, the king beyond the wall, and has always been by his side. However, this time Malvern did not take him with him when he led his army south, leaving him behind. Castle Black, responsible for protecting Joffrey and the Tommen brothers, and perhaps keeping an eye on Jon himself.

The three wildling teenagers retreated to Joffrey's side under Kyle's scolding, and Joffrey also restrained his arrogance after seeing this person and remained silent.

Seeing this, Jon put his sword back into its scabbard, turned around, squatted down, and checked Ghost's injuries.

However, it was not until this moment that Jon discovered that Ghost had lost its vitality. There were scars all over its body, and the most fatal thing was a blood hole on the top of its head. The dyed white hair turned half of its head into the same bright red as its eyes.

"Ah!" Jon roared wildly, unsheathed his sword again, and rushed towards Joffrey.

The three wildling teenagers standing in front of Joffrey had no idea that the Stark bastard would dare to attack after Lord Kyle ordered to stop. They were unable to react for a moment and were stunned on the spot.

Jon knocked one of the teenagers away, and then swung his sword to stab Joffrey in the face. He almost succeeded. The tip of the sword touched the skin on Joffrey's face that was no longer delicate due to the cold wind. , easily broke through the gap, but failed to get the chance to go deeper.

Kyle quickly grasped Jon's arm and stopped it in mid-air. Jon felt like he was being clamped by an iron pincer. Joffrey was clearly close at hand, but his sword couldn't move any further.

Only then did Joffrey react, and he quickly took several steps back before falling to the ground.

"How dare you?" His voice trembled, "Kill him! Kyle! Kill him! Otherwise the Lannister family will never send you anything again!" He ordered loudly, but Kyle completely ignored it.

"Kill him!" He could only order the other savage youths.

But these savage teenagers did not dare to act rashly in front of Kyle, they just stood there honestly.

"I said, enough is enough." Kyle stared into Jon's eyes and said every word.

"They killed Ghost!" Jon used all his strength to break away from Kyle's hand, his whole face turned red, but it was still in vain.

"Just a beast." Kyle winked at the two men, and then released his grip on Jon's forearm.

The next moment, Jon, who had exerted too much force, fell onto the snow and was pinned to the ground by two wildlings under Kyle.

"Lock him up until his emotions stabilize." Kyle ordered.

The two wildlings first confiscated Jon's sword, and then knocked him down. Jon was completely exhausted and could no longer resist, but he kept chanting "Ghost, Ghost." ’

After Jon was dragged away, Kyle quickly left.

Only then did Joffrey return to Ghost's body, gritting his teeth.

"Are you going to burn it?" asked a savage boy.

"No! This is too cheap for that bastard. Peel off its skin and make a cloak for me," Joffrey said bitterly. "Remember to keep the wolf's head intact. I want that bastard to be able to wear it as soon as he sees me." Recognize whose skin my cloak is made of!”

"After skinning, where is the remaining meat?" asked another savage boy.

"Of course, roast it and eat it!" Joffrey said without thinking. "After roasting, you choose the best piece of meat and give it to the bastard, so that he can share our happiness."
