Chapter 318: Chase outside the Great Wall, meeting in Twin River City

Melisandre regretted extremely why she came to this place.

But she was extremely lucky. If she hadn't come, she would never know what happened here from R'hllor's perspective after the entire northern border and beyond the Great Wall were blocked.

At least that's what she thought.

Since when did the Cold God have such a servant?

Melisandre turned back and looked at the knight riding a war horse and wearing ferocious armor chasing after her.

On both sides, some hound-like monsters covered in ice and snow, but exuding a strong smell of sulfur, were quickly outflanking Melisandre from both sides, trying to intercept Melisandre before she returned to Eastwatch.

These things suddenly appeared when Melisandre tried to go to the ghost forest.

She didn't mean to say hello at all, and was going to kill the red-robed witch when she came up.

Thanks to Melisandre's status as a priest of R'hllor, she also has a certain fighting ability.

Although she didn't turn into a lighter, she still escaped the most dangerous attack in the first stage, and had the opportunity to escape back to her horse, flee all the way south, and try to return to the Great Wall to seek refuge.

Yet these deadly creatures, whom she had never seen in the flames or been warned by R'hllor, began to pursue her relentlessly.

The language that accidentally broke out was not any one she was familiar with.

She didn't have any prior knowledge of Clay, so she certainly didn't know what these guys were.

But the cold magic on them made her immediately realize that the appearance of these guys outside the Great Wall was no accident.

On the way to escape, she kept thinking, are these guys the latest servants of the Cold God?

Is this the harbinger of a large-scale awakening of the Cold God?

Melisandre came here this time because some time ago, she could no longer observe the situation outside the wall and the north in the flames.

All the images were cast in an extremely abnormal gray color.

She immediately realized that something big must have happened in the north and beyond the Great Wall.

She had been staying in the south and immediately wanted to go north, but encountered the same problem as Daenerys.

Completely persuaded by the magic of the old gods to retreat south of the Neck.

But this guy is obviously not someone who gives up easily.

So, she chose to hire a boat and go directly to the east of the Narrow Sea, close to the Great Wall.

It looked like that little crow must have messed up.

Of course, Melisandre knew about the existence of the Three-Eyed Raven. These agents of the gods all knew each other's missions.

By the time she arrived at Eastwatch, Clay had already solved the problem of the Three-Eyed Crow's old god's magic power, so she was able to land smoothly.

Melisandre couldn't see Clay, and Melisandre couldn't tell what role this mysterious agent of the gods played in this whirlpool.

So, she planned to go out and investigate on her own.

However, she really didn't expect that she would encounter such a fatal pursuit just after leaving the Great Wall and entering the Ghost Forest.

"Hurry up, the woman in red robe is coming out of the forest soon."

The leading knight shouted to his companions.

Their language is not the common language of Westeros.

"I know, the hounds are not fast enough, so I overtake them from the left."

the companion responded.

The voice sounded hoarse and heavy through the ferocious black mask.

They were determined to bypass the Great Wall.

In the area south of the Great Wall, the magic controllers there did not accept them.

This means that their navigator cannot open the portal to that area at will.

This is very detrimental to the arrival of subsequent troops.

After all, it was very painful for them to climb the desperate Great Wall in front of them.

They are all cavalry, and cavalry cannot cross such a high Great Wall.

Moreover, they also learned about the existence of the Night Watch Corps during previous investigations.

When a frontal attack failed, they decided to find another way.

For example, first find a way to go around from both sides?

As long as they can get to the south of the Great Wall and destroy the magic node in the south, the navigators can teleport them to that location.

But once they do this, the Great Wall of Despair will no longer be an obstacle to them.

Until they are ready to launch, secrecy is paramount.

Melisandre was just unlucky enough to be considered by these guys as someone who might reveal their existence.

Therefore, he sent knights to chase her and make sure to kill her.

Of course, they also felt the fire magic on Melisandre that made them extremely uncomfortable.

This further strengthened their murderous intention.

The horse that dismounted was moving faster and faster, and the sharp sword in his hand was already pointing at Melisandre's back.

"Stop running away, woman, you are destined to die here!"

They were shouting, trying to distract Melisandre.

But it was of no use at all, because Melisandre couldn't understand what they were shouting at all.

Maybe the common language is indeed universal, but the language of these guys is obviously not in this category.

The palms of his hands tightly grasped the necklace around his neck.

Melisandre is frantically mobilizing the fire magic in her body.

The red priests of R'hllor have never been very effective in frontal combat.

It is impossible to expect them to transform into flame warriors.

But finding a way to light something on fire is still possible, but it’s more difficult.

Otherwise, why would Melisandre be envious of Clay's Igni Sign.

The palm of her hand was getting hotter and hotter, and the power of R'hllor, through the ruby ​​​​of the necklace, gradually gathered in Melisandre's hand.

Finally, just when the sword edge behind her was about to touch her body, she suddenly moved back and threw out a small ball of flame.

The target was not the knight on the horse, but the eyes of the heavily armored warhorse hanging on his crotch.

The armor was covered with ice and snow, exuding cold magic that made Melisandre's hair stand on end.

She was certain that she, a high-ranking priest, would not be able to easily break through such cold magic armor without the direct blessing of the Lord of Light.

Therefore, we can only take risks and bet that this concentrated fire magic can disturb this deadly war horse.

She made the right bet.

Only a long neigh was heard, and the painful cry of the war horse came.

The knight on the horse was thrown out directly.

The strange long sword in his hand was thrown away in an instant.

Melisandre saw the opportunity and grabbed it.

She didn't carry a self-defense weapon. If she could get one now, she wouldn't know what she might encounter later. At least she would be able to resist.

A head of red hair fluttered in the air, like a flame burning on the white snow.

After the knight closest to her was knocked off her horse, Melisandre immediately accelerated and flew towards the Great Wall that was already looming in sight.

Several times, the hounds with the strong smell of sulfur came just a tiny distance away from the legs of her war horse, but she skillfully dodged them all.

Finally, she broke out of the ghost forest.

Behind her, knights covered in dark and ferocious armor, with their hounds, stopped at the edge of the forest.

"She escaped."

"Yes."

"It doesn't matter, just let her bring the news south of this wall."

"They don't know who we are."

"It's a hidden danger after all."

"It's okay. Eredin doesn't care. The operation at sea has already begun."

"As long as we succeed at sea, we can get over it."

The sound stopped, the speaker had left.

Although they failed in this pursuit, it didn't matter.

The real plan has already been launched in the snow.

They, the gods of the Land of Eternal Winter, just take what they need.

"Your Majesty Clay."

In the castle hall of Twin River City, nobles from the North and the Riverlands gathered together.

Let’s not talk about what everyone was thinking, but under Clay Mandler’s gaze, everyone tried their best to maintain a decent smile.

They now don't dare to get close to Clay Manderly, who although there is no coronation ceremony, his identity is as hard as a steel plate.

Clay Mandler had kept it secret from them for so long and never revealed it to them at all. It was not until the dragon finally arrived that they realized that there was such a dangerous person beside them.

They all stared eagerly at His Majesty the King, who was sitting alone in a high-backed chair on the high platform.

There is no such thing as loyalty or disloyalty. Their choice to come to Twins City obediently proves that at least on the surface, they have fully accepted the political reality of the new king.

During the meeting just now, Clay Mandler, who was sitting on the high platform with nothing on his head and wearing a very ordinary animal skin cloak, stared at them for a while and said only one sentence:

"Everyone, if you recognize me as the new king, sit here and put your stamp on me. If you don't recognize me, just leave."

The guards who had been prepared long ago were holding lit red candles and placing them on a rather large piece of kraft paper.

It is clearly written on it, unconditionally obey the command of the new dynasty formed by Clay Manderly and Daenerys Targaryen.

The army, financial resources, local supplies, etc. are completely centralized and deployed during the war.

But after the war, the royal family will no longer interfere with these things.

There are some other requirements later.

The nobles didn't know what Clay Mandler was doing.

They don't understand that this thing is actually Clay's excuse to deal with them in the future.

On this, Clay made some small tricks, which are easy for these nobles who are accustomed to freedom to violate.

Once something like a contract is signed, it has stronger universal recognition than ordinary documents.

After all, every noble had their family crest printed on this piece of paper.

That means that this is a consensus reached by everyone under the witness of everyone.

At that time, if someone really violates the above content and is punished by Clay, others will not even be able to plead for mercy.

Who told you to agree with it at that time?

Only a few guys had a vague feeling in their hearts that they knew what Clay Mandler was trying to do with this trick.

After all, according to the previous gameplay, at this time everyone drew their swords, knelt at the feet of the new king, and shouted an oath of loyalty to the new king.

This has always been done in the past.

But now, it's obvious that this man doesn't want to do this at all.

After a "United Declaration" stamped with the stamps of dozens of great nobles present was completed, Clay sat in his seat and began the first round of political arrangements in the new dynasty:

"My lords, I am from the Mandalay family. You can regard me as a Northerner. Of course, we are in the Twin River City now. It doesn't matter if you regard me as a Riverlander."

"We have been fighting together for so long, and we are familiar with each other. You also know what kind of person I am."

Clay raised his first finger and said solemnly:

"The army, except for those of my Mandalay family, still belongs to all your lords. How they came before is how they are here now."

"They are under my command, but there is no need to worry that I will take them for myself."

The important matter of the army must be explained clearly first.

The current army is still not professional and comes from various nobles. If Clay comes up and says, I am the king and all the troops are mine, then the nobles will secretly rebel directly.

Although it was Clay's goal to bring the entire country's military power to the central government in the future, he knew that he must not act too hastily.

Hearing Clay say this, it was obvious that the nobles were relieved.

This man is a standard "king on horseback". He has great prestige in the army. Now he has a dragon by his side. If they are forced to hand over the army, the nobles will lose their standing. .

The army means the strong labor force, craftsmen, and craftsmen in the territory. Without these people, more than half of the territory will be wasted.

Clay stretched out a second finger:

"We need to make one thing clear now: who is our enemy and who is our friend."

Of course, the dragon can forcefully pass the level, but this is undoubtedly a very risky thing.

He has already sent a letter to Dorne, calling Daenerys to come to the Twins.

Dorne has been garrisoning Skyreach City in Prince's Pass recently, waiting for possible attacks from the Reach and Stormlands.

However, it seemed that they were frightened by the power of the dragon, and no army appeared in sight at all.

In view of this, Clay called Daenerys here. After all, Targaryen holds at least 40% of the shares in this new dynasty.

It's time to come. Anyway, according to the dragon's flying speed, it won't take long to get here from Sunspear City.

"Lord Karstark, who do you think is our enemy?"

Clay nodded at Rickard Karstark.

This guy probably worshiped some kind of giant. The moment he saw Galesos, he immediately fell in love with it.

Although he can't control the dragon himself, and will be burned to ashes if he gets close, the look of yearning in his eyes cannot be faked, unless this guy is a real actor.

When Karstark heard Clay Manderly call his name, he stood up directly without any hesitation. His loud and rough voice was about to bring down the ceiling:

"In my opinion, we should go to the valley first, find out the damn traitors, and then make the entire valley completely surrender. Otherwise, when we go south, the east side will always be a problem."

Clay knew who the traitor he was talking about was.

Now, Petyr's plan in the Eagle's Nest City at that time has been leaked by the chaos inside the valley.

Of the two earls sent, one died under mysterious circumstances and became a suspect in the murder of Lysa Tully, while the other actually became a major figure in exposing the conspiracy.

The people in the north didn't believe it at all.

Therefore, Chief Bolton's rebellion has become an indisputable fact here in the North.

The so-called elimination of evil must first eliminate the traitors and then deal with the enemies. This is in line with the usual behavior of the people in the north.

In the past, to do this, you had to fight against the natural dangers of the Blood Sect.

But now, Clay wants to see who dares to be the guard of the Blood Gate in front of the giant dragon.

If you are not afraid of turning into ashes together, then you should be loyal to the people of the valley.

ps, I will try my best to resume double updates tomorrow, and I will continue to write.
