Chapter 265 Horn of Winter

But the savage's messenger is also stern.

It seems that they want to intimidate the king of the south. In the eyes of the wild people, these "kneeling people" living behind the Great Wall are soft eggs, and they will be afraid if they are intimidated a little.

However, the savage messenger never expected that he would kick the iron plate this time.

Far from terrifying the plump, fat king in front of him, his threats angered Robert Baratheon.

Maybe the messenger didn't ask what kind of person his negotiating partner was before he came to the Great Wall.

After all, King's Landing is too far away for them, and for the savages, the south of the Great Wall of Desperation is called the south.

"Better get the hell out of here before I decide to cut your tongue off and stuff it in your ass!"

King Robert ate soft and hard, widened his eyes like a bell, and then drove the messenger out.

He didn't believe that a horn of winter came out of nowhere. As soon as it was blown, such a magnificent Great Wall of Despair would collapse.

However, although Robert was angry, he was not a cruel tyrant. If it was replaced by Aerys, the messenger would have been burned to death.

He drove the savage's messenger away and asked him to tell the king beyond the wall.

"Tell that bastard who broke his oath of the Night's Watch!"

Robert spoke loudly, his voice humming in the conference room.

"If you thieves and rapists living outside the Great Wall want to pass the Great Wall, you must bow to the king of the Seven Kingdoms!"

"And pray to the Seven Gods for forgiveness of his guilt, and then make a choice between the gallows and the black!"

King Robert roared with a blowing beard and staring eyes, he knew that those wildlings were lawless criminals.

They called themselves freemen to distinguish them from the "kneeling people" who bowed to the lords and kings south of the Great Wall, who believed that the "kneeling people" lacked freedom.

But Robert wanted to make them kneel now.

Afterwards, the fat king with a full beard raised his glass and sipped a glass of wine. He snorted twice and continued to speak.

"certainly."

"This is for ordinary savages."

"The guy who betrayed the Night's Watch's oath called Mance Red, he has no chance to put on black, he must be sent to the gallows."

King Robert can forgive other wildlings but that doesn't mean he can forgive the self-proclaimed 'King Beyond the Wall'.

"Mance Redder should be punished according to the rules of the Night's Watch."

"His Majesty."

And at this time.

Eddard Stark, who was sitting on the side, said, with dark brown hair and gray eyes, and his face was full of seriousness.

"I will hold a fair trial for him and hear his reasons."

Eddard Stark, honorable and impartial, will hear the reasons for Mance Red's betrayal of the Night's Watch.

Then he personally cut off the head of the 'King Beyond the Wall' with the Valyrian steel sword 'Ice' that was handed down from his family.

The emissary of the wildlings was then driven out of Castle Black.

After the emissaries of the wildlings were driven away, the Night's Watch and the reinforcements supported by the North and other places were hurrying to deploy.

They originally thought that the wild people would come to attack in anger, but there was no news when they waited and waited.

What about the horn of winter that can blow down the Great Wall?

What about the so-called hundreds of thousands of savages?

The 300-mile-long, 700-foot-high Wall of Extremis gave the coalition and the Night's Watch full confidence.

Everyone relaxed a lot. In their opinion, no one could break through such a majestic Great Wall, not even hundreds of thousands of savages, not even the so-called White Walkers.

Then, the news of the failure of the negotiation was brought back to the ghost forest by the messenger. Among the savage troops, the arrogant words of the king in the south made all the savage tribe leaders explode.

They were reluctant to bow their knees to the so-called king for their freedom, and Mance Rader united hundreds of tribes and put an end to the infighting among the wildlings.

Therefore, he has an unparalleled reputation among these freedmen, and this is why he was elected as the king outside the wall.

They couldn't have bowed their knees to the king of the south, much less handed over their king to be beheaded by the lord of the south.

Hundreds of tribal chiefs and leaders clamored to storm the Wall.

However, as the protagonist mentioned, Mance Reid, the king outside the wall, seemed very calm and did not show very angry emotions.

He stopped all the tribal chiefs' pleas for battle and calmed them all down.

Because he knew very well that with the support of the kings and nobles after the Great Wall, it was impossible for them to break the Great Wall of Despair.

However, Mance Red didn't want to sound the Horn of Winter when it wasn't a last resort.

If the Great Wall does collapse, then humans will lose their only defense against the White Walkers, and the next step is likely to have catastrophic consequences.

but.

If the king of the South was determined not to let the freedmen pass, neither could Mance Rader.

He was responsible for his people, and he didn't want to be beheaded.

At that time, he could only blow the Horn of Winter to make the Great Wall of Despair collapse, and then lead his people to rush out.

It doesn't matter to him whether human beings live or die.

therefore.

In order not to want all the jade and stone to burn, Mance Red restrained his anger.

Then calmly sent another messenger to negotiate frankly with King Robert.

The freedmen bowing their knees to the king of the south and demanding their own heads are absolutely unacceptable conditions, and this is Mance Rader's bottom line.

Subsequently, the messenger of the second negotiation was brought into Castle Black.

But this time, the freedmen's messenger was much more humble, and before he came up, he clamored to blow the horn of winter and let the Great Wall of Despair collapse and everyone burnt.

It is a pity, however, that this time the messenger of the freedmen showed a sincere attitude, but after the last farce, King Robert no longer believed in the matter of the Horn of Winter.

In his opinion, if the other party really has such an artifact, then the horn will be blown early, and then the coalition forces of the seven countries will be killed, and they will directly invade the northern border.

It was obvious that the other party was frightening him, using something that didn't exist to trick him into opening the city gate and letting them enter the territory of the Seven Kingdoms.

In fact, the conditions that King Robert said before were not angry words, which were also his bottom line.

If he could, he wouldn't want to keep hundreds of thousands of wildlings outside the Great Wall of Desperation and watch them get killed by the White Walkers.

However, if these hundreds of thousands of savages are unwilling to submit to the king and lord, unwilling to lay down their weapons to stop plundering, and unwilling to pick up agricultural tools to farm with peace of mind.

After being put into the Great Wall of Despair like this, I am afraid it will be a disaster.

It was impossible for Robert to agree, and the Northern Territory, which was most directly attacked by the wildlings, was even less likely to agree.

Eddard Stark sat in the side seat, looking down at the wildling emissary with a frosty face.
