Chapter 233 The Night's Watch Expedition

Maester Aemon was wearing a gray robe, with a pair of white blind eyes, and walked in tremblingly with his hands on the door frame.

Thousands of years, although it is easy to say.

However, everything that happened thousands of years ago cannot be associated at all now, and even language, writing, and body have a big difference.

The White Walkers haven't appeared for so long, and Bunyan wants to convince Mormont that it's impossible for the White Walkers to appear.

"Maester Aemon."

And Bunyan saw Maester Aemon coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man who was highly respected in the Night's Watch.

Then a chair was brought over for the nearly 100-year-old bachelor to sit down.

Bunyan is a very smart person. He heard the words of Aemon Maester and thought for a while, and knew that the old man was reminding himself.

Then the young Ranger raised his head and spoke to Commander-in-Chief Mormont.

"I have evidence that I did not lie, Commander-in-Chief."

Then Bunyan walked down the conning tower, beckoning the other Night's Watch brothers to carry the body of the Ranger to the conning tower, and then closed the door again.

"Um?"

The body of the ranger was lifted up, and Commander-in-Chief Mormont, who was sitting in the chair, stood up from the chair with the hilt of his sword.

When he walked in front of the corpse, his face was a little dignified.

He didn't pay too much attention to the corpse just now, but now he can see it clearly.

The Ranger brother had a shockingly huge black hole in his abdomen, and the contents of his stomach were even pulled out.

This kind of injury is really hard to be caused by humans, and the weapons used by the savages cannot cause such injuries, it is like digging into his abdomen with his hands.

"I saw the monster put his hand in Cole's stomach and then pull his intestines out."

Bunyan's voice was low.

"At that time, Cole slashed the guts that were torn out with his sword, climbed onto the warhorse, and escaped with us."

The chief ranger glanced at Mormont's face, then turned his head to look at the brother lying on the ground, and said with a gloomy expression.

Just listening to Bunyan's description of the scene at that time is enough to shudder,

Although this brother escaped the pursuit of the White Walkers, he still did not survive and died on the way.

"This kind of injury cannot be done by a wildling, Lord Mormont."

"Other Ranger brothers can testify for me."

And Bunyan looked at Mormont's face and continued to speak.

However, Mormont's face was still dignified. He squatted down and touched the wound on Cole's stomach with his fingers. After a moment of silence, he raised his head.

"Just the injury alone can't be sure that this must be what the White Walkers did, and the other Rangers are likely to have the same caliber as you."

"Commander-in-Chief!"

When Bunyan heard the commander-in-chief's words, he suddenly looked a little anxious, and couldn't help but speak loudly.

He didn't know how to prove himself, it was only a small matter for him to be suspected, and it was a big deal to delay such important information as the White Walkers' recovery.

As a member of the Stark family, he has heard the stories of the White Walkers told by the old nurse since he was a child, so he deeply understands the Stark family's mission.

However, before he could speak, the white-haired old commander stood up from the ground, looked at the chief ranger with bright eyes and continued to speak.

"You may be telling the truth, Bunyan."

"But as commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, I can't easily make decisions on matters that are still in doubt."

Mormont, in a hoarse voice, raised his hand and patted Bunyan on the shoulder.

"On the bright side, maybe it's not the White Walkers, but something you don't know."

If you think about it, as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, he has not appeared for thousands of years, and even the White Walkers, who have been forgotten by humans in the south, suddenly appeared again.

Of course, he couldn't make a decision by relying only on the words of his subordinates on such a major matter.

He must witness the appearance of the White Walkers, or have more direct and powerful evidence to prove that the White Walkers are really resurrected, before he can ask the kings and the dukes after the Great Wall for help.

"Um"

And Bunyan could only let out a long breath when Mormont patted his shoulder.

He can also understand the difficulty of the commander-in-chief, so he can only nod his head again.

"Um."

"I understand, Lord Mormont."

Soon after.

Another few days passed.

The news about the appearance of the White Walkers was kept strictly confidential, and one Ranger who couldn't help but leak his mouth was also taken as a joke by the rest of the Night's Watch brothers, and people laughed at the Rangers for being scared.

The entire Castle Black still maintained its former comfort. The smoke from the cooking rose in the morning, the chefs of the night watchman cooked the meals, and the soldiers in the morning exercise kept knocking with wooden swords.

There was also a row of soldiers practicing bows and arrows, shooting arrows on the target with their bows and arrows. After shooting a pot of arrows, they ran over to recover the arrows on the target and continued to practice under the reprimands of the instructors.

Commander-in-Chief Mormont did not know why he suddenly organized an expedition, perhaps related to the wildlings or the defeat of the Rangers some time ago.

Recently, not only Castle Black, but also the Shadow Tower, Donghaiwang and other places have ranger reconnaissance reports, indicating that more and more savages have appeared in the ghost forest recently, as if they were driven by something.

So Mormont organized this expedition for this reason, and drove all these wildlings back to their homeland.

But this is just Mormont's verbal reason, and the troops he organized are not many, only about a hundred people.

All the Rangers who fled back not long ago all refused to participate in fear, looking for various reasons.

Only Bunyan Stark was willing to join in and lead the way for this expedition.

No one in the Night's Watch is more familiar with the terrain north of the Wall than the Rangers.

Immediately after breakfast that morning, all the brothers in the Night's Watch who participated in the expedition brought enough dry food, probably some dried beef and hard bread.

Then the oak gate opened again, and more than a hundred Night's Watch soldiers rode their horses toward the ghost forest, stepping on the thick snow.

Bunyan Stark was at the front of the line.

After two days, they found the place where they had fought in the ghost forest not far from Custer's fortress.

"This…"

Seeing the scene here, Bunyan's breathing suddenly became a little faster, his eyes became red, as if remembering some bad memories, he sat on the back of a horse and drew a long sword from his waist.

And all the brothers of the Night's Watch present, including the commander-in-chief Mormont, were all stunned by the sight in front of them.

"This is."

What appeared in front of everyone was not a messy battlefield, but a Jingguan piled up by human heads.

As if they knew they would definitely come back, all the bloody heads were facing the direction the night watchman had come.

Many of them were their familiar faces, as well as the heads of savages.

And on the ground there are still dead arms around this Jingguan.

A certain pattern they didn't recognize was neatly placed, and it looked like the sun.

Mormon's ugly and old eyes stared at the head of Jingguan in front of him.

But the next second.

All the heads opened their mouths and let out a sharp cry.
