"Hahaha, the Northern Region is too boring. I want to visit the Free Cities too!" The King of Beyond the Great Wall sat up abruptly and laughed loudly.
"Dana, you're about to give birth. Just lie down for a few days. If there's any work, let Wale do it." Mance rubbed the back of his wife's red and swollen hand tenderly and said, "I'll call a meeting with the tribe leaders. When we enter the Great Wall, I'll have more time to spend with you."
As the wife of the King of Beyond the Great Wall, Dana did not have many privileges compared to the other women in the camp. She was about to give birth, but she still had to milk the goats herself, feed the animals, cook for her husband and the barbarian leaders who came to visit, and even wash clothes.
Servant?
Without a "professional servant," the freedmen were not "kneelers." They would not kneel to any lord or king.
Wale was not a servant either. She was Mance's sister-in-law, the sister of the Queen of the Barbarians, Dana.
However, Dana was still a privileged person. The other barbarians struggled to fill their stomachs every day. Mance's family did not farm, herd or hunt, but they never lacked food or drink. They had plenty of wine and meat. They just had to cook by themselves.
.....
Just as the Night Watchers surrounded Jon and the other two to ask about the negotiation process, the barbarians, raiders and spearwomen also surrounded the dozen or so Magners and asked questions.
Mance did not chase away the irrelevant people. Instead, he asked people to clear out an empty muddy area and light a dozen fires. He stood in the middle of the crowd and explained the Lease Agreement.
In the end, he began to talk about the plight of the barbarians. "I won't lie. That woman is very smart. There's no way to trick her. With two dragons guarding the Great Wall, it's almost impossible to break through it.
Even if a group of strong freedmen were lucky enough to enter the Northern Region at night, the vast land would make it difficult for them to escape the pursuit of the Megalosaurus.
At the very least, some of them could hide in the forest and escape, but there are too few of them to take down the tall castle of the Lord of the Northern Region. "
"Mance, are you saying that you've decided to accept the Dragon King's agreement?" a barbarian questioned loudly.
"No." Mance shook his head. "As the King of Beyond the Great Wall, my main duty is to lead everyone to achieve a common goal.
Just like this time, they had taken down the Great Wall and plundered the Northern Region.
If you all decide to resist to the end, I will resolutely stand on the side of the freedmen, strive to lead everyone to a path of survival. "
A short man sitting on the back of a giant white bear roared, "Then reject the agreement. We will not work with the queen of the kneeling people."
Immediately, a large group of savages chimed in, "The freedmen will not cooperate with the lords of the south."
Mance had expected this to happen.
Ninety-nine percent of the savages could only see what happened in a single day, and they would only feel the pain and terror of death when a sword pierced their flesh.
At this point in time, the food supply could still last for a few months. The large forest was enough for them to cut wood for warmth, so they did not have to worry about keeping warm. Although the scene of the Megalosaurus breathing fire was scary, it did not actually burn people to death. The savages had some guesses about the power of the Megalosaurus, but they did not have a deep understanding of it.
As for the Deviant Ghosts … The savages were indeed afraid of them, but the Deviant Ghosts had been with them for more than a decade, or even decades. Their nerves that controlled pain and fear had long since become numb.
Therefore, most of the savages could not feel the sincerity of the Dragon Queen's "Agreement" at all.
Mance raised his head and looked at the Great Wall in the south. It was as if he could see the silver-haired queen waiting for the final result on the giant ice crystal wall under the afternoon sun. Actually, you should have let the Megalosaurus burn the camp the day before yesterday. Then, there would be no need to change the name of the "Lease Agreement". You could have directly proposed the most severe "Unconditional Surrender Terms", and we would have agreed immediately.
Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. It was because of her kindness that his determination to resist was so weak. That was why he had complete trust in her theory of civilization and the "Three-Point Lease Agreement" that she had promised.
At this point, he had even decided to encourage the savages to surrender to her …
"Ahem, Valamir, you have not seen the Dragon Queen …" Mance paused, then pointed at Tormond and the other commanders of the savages, and said to the Six Forms People, "Everyone, please listen to the opinions of the leaders. They have all personally participated in the negotiations.
I believe that with the amazing wisdom and rich experience of the brothers, you will be able to distinguish between right and wrong. "
"Tormond, you go first."
Tormond hesitated for a moment, and said to the savages who looked over, "The" Lease Agreement "seems to be very good. We have a great advantage."
The caveman commander agreed, "Think about it, so what if we take the North? There is no food in the North! But how can we really go to the neighboring continent … At least half of the free people beyond the Great Wall can survive. "
The leader of the Hard Foot People frowned and said, "The only thing is that her terms are too good. It's as if she has surrendered to us. She has two dragons! This makes me wonder if the Ursos continent is really that rich? "
Uh, the topic slowly changed from whether or not to how to sign the agreement.
"There is no doubt about that. I have been to Lys and Pentos when I was young. The other side of the narrow sea is vast and sparsely populated, and the climate is warm. It is definitely a good place." A white-haired father and son draped in sealskin shouted.
He was the commander of the seafaring tribe of the frozen coast, and lived opposite Mormont's Bear Island. He had once traveled to the sea with sea merchants who purchased sealskins, and was considered a knowledgeable "Wise Man" among the savages.
"Will the people of Ursos allow us to take refuge there?" The leader of the cannibal tribe asked doubtfully.
"The Dragon Queen said that she will arrange it," Magna of Thurn said nonchalantly. "Besides, she has two dragons. Our brave and invincible warriors are not to be trifled with. Who dares to refuse? What can we do if we refuse? "
"The key is the benefits!"
Then, Magna of Thurn clapped his hands and concluded solemnly, "The treaty is too unfair. We, the free people, have taken too much advantage. What if one day she suddenly realizes that she has suffered a great loss and runs away on a dragon, leaving us floating in the sea? What should we do then?"
"Snow, what do you think we should do?" Tormond and the others looked at him.
All the savages knew that the people of Thurn were the closest to the southern nobles. They had hereditary lords and laws, and knew how to smelt bronze. Their army was well-equipped and disciplined.
Therefore, the savages thought that Snow of Thurn had the most political wisdom.
Well, speaking of Snow of Thurn, he actually had a blood feud with Danny!
The savage general who led the savages to attack the Great Wall and the Dark Castle was Thurn Magna Stie, Snow's elder brother, who had the most military talent.
When Danny arrived on her dragon, Stie did not die in the chaos.
But when the queen used the power of the Megalosaurus to summon rebels, Stie was the first to rush over with his axe … Er, it was the unlucky guy who was whipped in half by Blackie's tail.
Because the captive who delivered the negotiation letter to Mance knew that Stie was dead, Snow succeeded in taking the throne yesterday afternoon and became the new Thurn Magna.
But Snow did not plan to take revenge on the Dragon Queen. If his elder brother was not dead, how could he take the throne?
If the Dragon Queen did not have a dragon, he might have shouted "revenge for my elder brother" in order to win people over. But obviously, she had a dragon, and the whole tribe could not do anything to her, so he might as well let it go. After all, Stie died on the battlefield, not in a conspiracy like the Red Wedding.
Thurn Snow glanced at the King of Savages and said bluntly, "Mance's mission has been completed. Maybe, we can choose a new king."
Tormond was furious. "What did you say? You want to be king when you're such a loser?"
Mance's pupils contracted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"It's not that I want to be king!" Snow hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "It's the Dragon Queen … By the way, how many titles does that Danny Rize have?"
Mansred's lips curled into a smile, and his eyes became gentle again. He pondered and said, "The Princess of Dragonstone Island, the Storm Born, the Silver-Haired Queen, the Mother of Dragons, the Queen of Slaver's Bay, Khaleesi, the Dragon Queen, the Queen of the Andals, the Loynar, and the Ancestors.
Snow's eyes flashed, and he said with a low laugh, "So many titles, why not add 'King of the Great Wall'?"
"King of the Great Wall? What's that? "Old Hai Min was confused.
"Whether we agree to the agreement or not, the free people want to escape beyond the Great Wall. So, we'll become the free people of the Great Wall, right?"
"Uh …"
"The King of the Great Wall is Mance, and this will not change. But when we reach the Great Wall, why don't we invite the Dragon Queen to be the King of Savages? "
"How can we do that? Free people will never be slaves! "The savages shouted.
Varamir, the Six Form Being, was furious. He said with a sharp voice, "I don't agree with the agreement, and I will not support a southerner to be our king."
"Don't be so agitated, we have to compensate the Dragon Queen!" Thurn Snow glanced at the Six Form Being and said proudly, "Varamir, we came south only to pass the winter. But when winter is over, we'll all return to our homeland beyond the Great Wall. What's the point of being the King of the Great Wall? "
"This …" Tormond's cheek muscles twitched. "Isn't this a little too shameless?"
"We're savages!" Thurn Snow said matter-of-factly.
"I don't agree with the Queen of the South, and I don't agree with the agreement." The Six Form Being straightened his neck and said firmly.
Immediately, a group of savages and raiders shouted, "Yes, we're raiders. We don't farm or guard the Great Wall, we want to rob the weak people of the South."
Tormond glared at them and turned to the Six Form Being. "Varamir, you're a shapeshifter, and you have powerful animal companions. You don't have to worry about food, and you can escape before the Deviants come.
You don't have a family, you don't have any clansmen. You live alone, your whole family lives. But we are different.
Go to the camp and see how many old, weak, women, and children are there. Do you want to deprive them of their last chance to live for some unknown reason? "
The noisy savages quieted down. Some were at a loss, some hesitated, and some started to think about the future of their tribe.
"Is there really no way to take down the Great Wall?" Some of the savages asked unwillingly.
Mance pointed at Varamir and said, "Among the free people, he's the strongest. He should be the one to answer this question."
"I …" The Six Form Being's pale face flashed with embarrassment. "I … I don't know."
"How about this?" Mance thought for a while. "We'll follow the principle of voluntary participation. The free people with families can form a large tribe and sign a 'Lease Agreement' with the Dragon Queen. Those who think they can feed themselves and their families can continue to stay beyond the Great Wall.
Those who can't survive beyond the Great Wall can sign a new contract with the Dragon Queen. They can also cross the Great Wall and go to the North to rob and make a living. "
"You want to divide the free people?" Varamir asked in disbelief.
"We've never been united." Mance smiled bitterly.
