Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

"Don't worry!" Looking at the pale faces of everyone in the tent, Linde knocked on the table, focusing everyone's attention on him, and said: "Although the number of corpses is very exaggerated, their weaknesses are also very obvious. It is not difficult to eliminate them. The Silent Monks and Sisters of Redemption on the Frozen Coast have already eliminated hundreds of thousands of ghouls, so the number of tens of millions of ghouls is just a bit exaggerated."

After hearing Linde's words, everyone did not seem particularly relaxed. They had seen the Sisters of Redemption and the Silent Monks and had fought against them.

A ten-person team of Silent Monks and Redemption Sisters could easily wipe out a hundred-man team of Rangers. In their eyes, every monk and nun was an inhuman existence.

The Silent Monks and the Sisters of Redemption have more than a thousand people in total, and they are equipped with a large number of weapons specifically designed to target white ghosts and corpses. Therefore, in their opinion, no matter how many people the Silent Monks and the Sisters of Redemption kill, Ghouls are also a normal thing.

But ordinary people like them are different. Although their weapons are also provided by Linde, and a large number of dragon crystals are added to target ghouls, having weapons does not mean that they can defeat so many ghouls. Once hundreds of thousands If the ghouls rush towards them like a tide, they will only be able to cut down two or three ghouls at most, and then they will be knocked down by the ghouls behind them. In the end, they will only die.

The reason why these Night Watch Ranger captains and castle commanders have such clear minds and clear judgments about their abilities is entirely due to their experiences outside the wall over the years.

The ability of these people to become Ranger captains does not depend on their family background or status. Those who relied on their family background and status to sit on the position of Ranger captains all fell into accidents with the zombies again and again. This can only be true. Only those who know how scary the zombies are and know how to deal with them can survive and eventually become the captain of the Rangers. Therefore, they have a clear understanding of the White Walkers and themselves than anyone else, and will not despise Linde's words. Ghoul.

Seeing that everyone was not relaxed because of his words, Lin De added: "Don't forget that we have the Great Wall of Despair. When the battle comes, you will fight against the zombie army on the Great Wall of Despair, and I will also send you Weapons that make it easier to destroy ghouls. If there is no accident, you will not fight directly with ghouls. "

After hearing this, everyone in the tent felt a little more relaxed, because they had just thought that Linde would fight the White Walkers outside the Great Wall. In that case, no one of them could guarantee that they were safe.

"What shall we do now?" Stannis asked.

Linde replied: "Pack your bags and prepare to return to the Great Wall of Despair."

Stannis was stunned and said in a deep voice: "There are many tribesmen in the Ghost Forest..."

"Don't worry about it." Lind shook his head and said: "The Frozen Coast won't be able to hold on for long. The established White Walker cavalry have passed through the Frost Fang. There are too many gaps in the Frost Fang. I It is impossible to keep all the people, so the migration of the free tribes must be accelerated. "

After finishing speaking, Lind asked Stannis, the Ranger Captain of the Night's Watch, the Castle Commander and others to formulate a retreat plan for the Night's Watch and a plan for the reception of the Free Folk Tribe. He himself left the tent and asked for a war horse. Leading a team of Night Watch Rangers, they left the military camp and headed towards the Free Folk Tribe military camp opposite.

Soon Lind came to the gate of the free people tribe camp. Mance Rayder, who had been notified by his subordinates long ago, was waiting at the door with the leaders of each tribe.

Lind came in front of everyone, got off his horse, walked up to Mance Rayder, and said, "Long time no see, Mance Rayder."

"Long time no see! Lord Lind." Mance Rayder took the initiative to salute Lind.

"Mance Rayder, your title is wrong!" The ranger captain who followed Linde frowned and read loudly: "Standing in front of you are the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First King of the People, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, the Narrow Sea, and the Free Cities, Prince of Lorne, founder of House Tyron and its dynasty, His Majesty King Lynd Tyron."

Hearing this series of titles, not only Mance Rayder was stunned, but also the tribal leaders behind him.

They had no idea that Linde had now become the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the Lord of the Iron Throne. In their hearts, Linde was still just a lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

And for those tribal leaders who understood geography, from Linde's title, they realized that the territory Linde controlled was no longer just the continent of Westeros, but a much larger land, which made them unable to help but I thought of some ancient legends that had been circulating outside the Great Wall for many years. In that legend, there once appeared a huge empire spanning three continents, and the land that Lind currently ruled seemed to be comparable to the empire in ancient legends.

"Eddie, don't you feel embarrassed to read such a long title?" Lind turned to look at the Ranger captain and asked.

The melancholy Eddie was an acquaintance of Linde. Faced with Linde's inquiry, he puffed up his chest and said, "I had been preparing for a long time on the road just now. If I didn't read it, I would feel depressed, so in the Between embarrassment and depression, I chose embarrassment." As he spoke, he looked at Linde with a smile and said, "And I'm not the only one who's embarrassed. Aren't you, Your Majesty, blocking me from the front?"

Lind smiled, not blaming Eddie at all. He turned to look at Mance Rayder and said, "Should we talk at the door, or should we go in?"

"Your Majesty, please follow me." Upon hearing this, Mance Rayder immediately turned around and led the way. Linde, surrounded by tribal leaders, entered the Free Folk Alliance camp. All the surrounding Free Folk soldiers dropped what they were doing. , gathered on both sides of the aisle leading to the main camp tent.

Many of these free folk warriors were full of curiosity and awe, and some of the Storm God believers even knelt on the ground and prayed to Linde.

Faced with these believers from tribes outside the Great Wall, Linde did not mind performing some so-called miracles, such as creating a whirlwind to lift up people kneeling on the ground, etc. These actions of his also confirmed his identity as the Storm God. , thus causing more devout believers and pan-believers of the Storm God to kneel on the ground and pray to him.

Seeing the movement caused by Lind, Mance Rayder and the tribal leaders all had a wry smile on their faces, because they were sure that if they did not choose to accept Lind's surrender conditions, they would not wait for Lind to lead the army to attack. I'm afraid they will be dealt with by the Storm God believers in the camp.

"You should be very clear about the purpose of my visit." After Linde entered the tent, he sat directly on the chief seat. After gesturing for everyone to sit down, he said very directly: "The war between you and the Night Watch Legion has been going on until now. The chance of winning is basically zero, and failure is only a matter of time. I don’t want your war to continue and cause unnecessary casualties. We are all human beings, and the main enemy now is the White Walkers. That’s why I personally came to the Great Wall to fight. Let’s settle this war. Are you going to continue fighting, or are you willing to accept my surrender?”

Upon hearing Linde's question, everyone fell silent and looked at each other, as if waiting for others to speak.

Although surrendering to Linde is not a shameful thing, surrender is not something worth boasting about after all. The first person to agree to surrender will inevitably lose his reputation and may even lose his position as leader, so even if they have already Although Lin De agreed to surrender, no one was willing to be the first to speak.

Seeing this situation, Mance Rayder, the leader of the Free Folk Alliance, took the initiative to take on this responsibility and said: "We agree to accept your surrender, His Majesty Linde."

"Yes, we agree." Seeing Mance Rayder speak, the others also put aside their worries and nodded in response.

"Very good!" Linde nodded, and then continued to ask: "If you have any conditions for surrender, tell them now. As long as they are not excessive, I can agree immediately. All conditions have been negotiated and everything has been settled. , it can no longer be changed.”

"How can we believe that those crows will break the contract?" Tormund, who has a straightforward personality, directly questioned.

Linde said solemnly: "You don't need to believe in the Night Watchmen, you just need to believe in me. If the Night Watchmen violate their promises, I will punish them and compensate you. But if you fail to keep their promises, causing the Night Watchmen to If you do it, then..."

"We will not break our promise." Someone immediately interrupted Linde and said.

Linde looked at the man, then at the others, and said with a serious expression: "Don't talk so eloquently, you will be temporarily placed in the gift land south of the Great Wall. After the war with the White Walkers is over, you will be arranged according to the rules. Your own wishes arrange for you to settle elsewhere, but whether in the gift land or elsewhere, you must abide by the laws of the kingdom. Once you violate the laws, whether you are a tribal leader or someone else, you must Be punished." He smiled and said: "You are used to being free outside the Great Wall and have never been controlled by the law. If you break the law and are punished, don't say that I deliberately found it. Your troubles want to break the promise.

The tent instantly became quiet, and the faces of each tribal leader became a little ugly. Their ability to become leaders relied not only on their powerful force, but also because they were much smarter and more cunning than others. They knew very well that Lind The situation mentioned is very likely to happen, and there will be a lot of it.

Just as Linde predicted, the free people of the tribes outside the Great Wall have never been subject to the law. If they are not careful, they may violate the laws of the kingdom. At that time, some riots will inevitably occur, and many people will inevitably be dragged down.

However, even so, none of the tribal leaders present have given up and surrendered, because they know very well that once they give up Linde's surrender, they will definitely be dead. Even if the Night Watch does not kill them, it will not take long for the White Walkers and corpses to go south. Ghosts will kill them too.

The tribes of free people outside the Great Wall are very aware of the terror of the White Walkers and the Wights, and they also heard from Lind’s words that the White Walkers and the Wights are very likely to advance to the Great Wall in the near future. Being outside the wall is tantamount to committing suicide.

The attentive tribal leader heard some information from Linde's words, and asked slightly worriedly: "Your Majesty Linde, you placed us near the Great Wall in order to allow us to participate in the fight against the White Walkers. war?"

"Yes." Linde nodded, his eyes swept over everyone's worried faces, and said: "Don't you think that after I accept your surrender, I will let you live in a safe place? ! Not only the Night Watch will participate in this war with the White Walkers, but you Free Folk Soldiers outside the wall will also participate, and my army will also participate. No one can be absent!" As he said, he brought the topic back to the topic. Go up and say: "Now tell me your conditions!"

Everyone looked at each other, and then one by one, starting with the leader of the Thenns, they put forward their own conditions. Their conditions were not very harsh, they just provided food, land after the war, etc. In particular, they requested that their tribe not be split up. , must remain intact.

"I can agree to all these conditions, but there is a slight problem with splitting up the tribe." Linde said solemnly: "I can't forcefully split up your tribe, but if the people in your tribe want to leave, you can't. Enough of any excuse to stop it.”

Hearing Linde's request, the faces of the tribal leaders became a little ugly. They knew very well that once they arrived in the south, there would be various temptations. They did not think that the people in their tribes could resist this temptation. In the end, If left unchecked, their tribe will still be split up, but they will do it themselves.

"Can we join your Majesty's army?" At this time, Tormund suddenly asked.

"Okay." Linde nodded and said.

Some leaders also asked: "Can we get the same treatment?"

Linde replied: "Yes, the treatment is the same. Not only can you join the army, but if any of you have outstanding abilities, you can also join other departments under my command. And after the White Walkers are eliminated, I will form a large pioneer team." The army will go to Sothoros to develop the territory. At that time, all those who participate in the pioneering army will be able to obtain a piece of land on the Sothoros continent after the territory is developed. "

After hearing Linde's words, everyone did not react much, because in their opinion, it was completely unnecessary, because among the conditions just discussed, Linde had already promised to grant them land, a remote and dangerous piece of Sos. The land of Ross continent is not attractive in their eyes.

Linde saw what everyone was thinking, so he prompted: "You should all know about the long night and eternal winter, right?"

"I know." The tribal leaders nodded.

Lind continued: "In that case, you should also know that in the legendary story, the White Walkers will go south when the long night comes?"

Mance Rayder seemed to have noticed something, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you mean that the White Walkers going south is related to the Long Night and Everwinter, and that the Long Night and Everwinter may appear?"

Linde said with certainty: "It's not possible, it's bound to happen."
