Mud splattered on his body like a rainstorm, and the bright red dragonflame brushed past his body. He could even smell the faint smell of sulfur and burnt air.
The warhorse under him swayed as if it was drunk, unsteady on its feet and neighing in fear.
"Screech —" The terrifying roar of the dragon gradually faded away. Gondifalin looked around. A dozen riders had fallen off their horses, and all the warhorses were restless. There was a twisted, charred trench on the ground, as wide as a palm and half a finger deep.
The sparks and smoke proved that everything that happened just now was not an illusion. The pillar of dragon flame fell from the sky like a sharp sword of divine punishment, brushing past their bodies and brushing past them.
"Gulp …" Understanding all of this, Gondifalin swallowed hard. Cold sweat broke out, instantly drenching his inner shirt.
The White Knight walked out of the camp and said slowly, "Sir Gondifalin, go back. The might of the True Dragon is not to be blasphemed. If you have any questions, you can let Lord Stannis negotiate with Her Majesty personally. "
"You, you really are Sir Barristan." Seeing the White Knight's appearance, Gondifalin's thumping heart trembled violently. He said in disbelief, "When did you join that woman, and why didn't you go to Dragonstone Island? King Stannis has long prepared the white robe, and has been waiting for you for a long, long, long time! "
Barristan's solemn face twisted a little. It's good that all of you kings think highly of me, as it proves the value of the name 'Barristan the Fearless'. But what kind of person do you all think I am, that I must join a king?
Fine, as a legendary Kingsguard, the White Knight naturally needs a king.
But in your hearts, am I so thirsty that I can't be choosy?
Well, I've served Robert. I've served Queen Cersei. I've served Joffrey. It's kind of …
"After King Joffrey stripped me of my white robe, I prayed in the Great Cathedral of Baylor for seven days and seven nights. Finally, I received a revelation from the Seven Gods: I can only serve the true king for the rest of my life. This is my destiny." The old knight held his head high, as if the light of the Seven Gods was shining on his face. He had a holy, pious, and determined expression.
The White Knight had indeed gone to the Holy Church to pray, but it was not the Seven Gods who had enlightened him. It was the eight-clawed spider, Varis.
"Screech —" Under the clear blue sky, two Megalosaurus, one black and one white, emitted endless majesty and dominance in their elegance. They stretched their bodies, flapped their wings, and flew freely around the battlefield that was filled with corpses and smoke.
The snow was trampled into a grayish-brown mud, the broken wood of the camp emitted sparks and smoke, the fur tents were trampled into the mud, and Stannis's army was proudly shouting as they escorted the captives.
However, the appearance of the Megalosaurus was like a bucket of cold water being poured over their heads. Even the great victory of a thousand cavalrymen against a hundred thousand barbarians could not suppress the fear that was gradually rising in their hearts.
"Wu —" A bugle horn sounded from the Great Wall. The melodious and loud sound spread in all directions.
Bang!
They represented the return of their allies.
The gate creaked open, and Slynt, Bowen, Marcy, Mallister, and the other night watchers filed out. They were worried that the Dragon Queen would kill Erlu with her dragon flame.
Gaudí Falin's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately found a way out of this awkward situation.
"The barbarians have been destroyed, and the king beyond the Great Wall has been captured. Victory, victory!" He ran back and forth under the Great Wall with the flag of red heart, and the knights behind him, as well as the thousand or so soldiers of Stannis on the battlefield, followed him and shouted in unison.
The Night Watchers on the Great Wall were livened up, or it could be said that subduing the barbarians was never their first choice. Stannis's straightforward method was more hot-blooded, more satisfying, and also more able to vent the thousands of years of hatred between the Night Watchers and the barbarians.
Thus, they began to shout along with the knights below the Great Wall. "Victory, victory!"
When Gaudí Falin waved the flag of red heart and loudly shouted, "Long live Stannis, long live King Stannis!", everyone followed suit.
Sir Mallister, who was walking towards the battlefield, stopped in his tracks and said to the people beside him with a bitter smile, "This is going to be difficult. It won't be easy to mediate between these two families!"
The Red Pomegranate Chief Steward said worriedly, "We can't let them fight. Even if they fight, they can't fight on the Great Wall."
"Master Yimont, what do you think?" Sir Alliser looked at the old scholar.
Yimont had been staring at the Megalosaurus soaring in the sky. In fact, he had been spending a lot of time in the past few days staring at the two dragons as if he couldn't get enough of them.
"Don't worry, Her Majesty Danny Alys won't start a civil war. Under normal circumstances, His Majesty Stannis won't take the initiative to provoke her," the old man said softly.
The one-armed Tanner shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I'm afraid it's not that optimistic. I know the three brothers too well. If Robert was real steel, then Renly was shiny copper. They looked beautiful, but they weren't worth much in reality.
As for Stannis, he's a piece of pure iron. He's black, hard, and strong, but he's also easily damaged. Like iron, he'll break before he bends.
If it's Robert, he'll lead his army and charge at the Megalosaurus. If he's not dead, he'll probably surrender to her and be a valiant general on the battlefield. If it's Renly, there's no need to fight. As long as she promises to keep everything he has, he'll surrender immediately and continue his life as the Duke of Storm's End …
But if it's really those two, they probably won't come to the Great Wall's rescue. Robert is wasted in wine and women, and Renly has no feelings for the country's crisis.
Only Stannis is strict with himself and treats others harshly. He has a stubborn sense of responsibility … His ambition for power is undeniable, but it's more like an obsession for everyone's heartfelt approval.
When he was the acting castellan of Storm's End, even when food ran out and he could only eat boiled rats and leather, he never thought of surrendering. When he became Robert's Lord of the Navy … "
After a pause, the blacksmith skipped over the matter of Stannis leading the navy to besiege Dragonstone Island.
"… When he settled Balon's rebellion and helped Robert rule the country, he was strict with the law and did not care about others' feelings. Even when he was cursed by all the nobles, he still did his duty and worked hard to complete his duties.
If he thinks of himself as a subject, he'll perfectly fulfill his duties as a subject. If he defines himself as a 'king', then he'll definitely insist on the rights and responsibilities of a king.
Unfortunately, not only does he think of himself as the only legitimate king of the Seven Kingdoms, he's also been bewitched by the Red God Priest to think that he's the Child of Prophecy, the Savior.
There's no doubt that he'll work hard to bear the burden of being the Savior — even if none of us are willing to be saved by him. "
"The Savior is here." Slynt rubbed his nose and reminded.
The rumbling of horse hooves approached. A group of cavalrymen waving the flag of the Red Heart slowly approached the Night Watchers.
"Greetings, King Stannis. Thank you …"
.....
Seeing Stannis enter the city gate under the escort of the Night Watchers, Danny also ended her flight to show off her martial prowess. She brought Blackie and Whitey to land in front of the Imperial Tower.
She sat on Blackie's back and watched as Stannis and the red-robed woman walked out of the city gate … As if worried that she would kill Erlu with a mouthful of dragon flames, Scholar Yimont even came over to advise her in advance.
"The Night Watchers hope that you two can get along peacefully and fight against the other ghosts."
"Stannis is always here to guard the Great Wall. Look at the big picture!"
"Targaryen, your words are as heavy as a mountain — you said it yourself."
To be honest, Danny really wanted to throw a fireball of dragon flames at Erlu. It wasn't that she wanted to kill him. If she really wanted to kill this competitor, she would have already done it outside the city.
The main reason was that she really wanted to see Melisandre's Fire Witchcraft.
Or, she could let Erlu try using the Radiant Bringer to split the fireball and see if the legendary "Wife-Sacrificing Sword" lived up to its name.
The second son of the Lu Family was born with broad shoulders and strong limbs. He had black hair and blue eyes. His skin was as hard as iron after being exposed to the sun for a long time. He was thirty-six years old and severely bald. He had a square chin and sunken cheekbones. His thin lips were tightly pursed. One look and one could tell that he was a difficult person to get along with.
Erlu was in front and Melisandre followed closely behind.
The moment she appeared, the surrounding Night Watchers let out a gasp of surprise at her beauty and sexiness.
Compared to the Knight Queen who was always clad in gray iron armor, the voluptuous red-robed woman with a graceful figure and light clothes was more attractive.
However, in Danny's eyes, Melisandre was like a ball of red, flirtatious flames. Her flushed heart-shaped face, red eyes, red hair that reached her waist and red robes.
Even from seven to eight meters away, she could feel that her body was like a burning furnace, emitting waves of heat.
The heat was real. It was not an illusion, nor was it magic. Even ordinary people could feel the heat from her body.
Just like her dragon, her blood and fire came from the same source. Her body was also made of magic and emitted heat unconsciously. However, when it came to a fire mage, what kind of witchcraft did it represent?
As soon as Stannis and Melisandre entered the yard, they noticed the Megalosaurus breathing out smoke and fire and Danny watching them from the back of the Megalosaurus.
For a moment, the air seemed to be heavy. Melisandre, Red Pomegranate and the other Night Watchers looked nervous and sweaty. Their mouths opened and closed, but no words came out.
Erlu did not avoid Danny's gaze, nor was he affected by the awkward and heavy atmosphere. He went straight to the King's Tower and said while biting his cheek, "I didn't expect you to come to the Great Wall."
Danny smiled and said, "I don't care about the barbarians. However, when I was looking through the recent intelligence of the Westeros in the City of Knowledge, I noticed the warning of deviant ghosts that the commander-in-chief of the Night Watchers sent to the scholars."
Stannis pulled out his longsword. The red sword shone with a magical red light, as if it was made of magma and surrounded by a circle of red flames.
He held the sword and raised his square chin. He gritted his teeth and said, "Danny, since you know about deviant ghosts, you should know that the night is long and dangerous. Ordinary people can't survive this disaster. Only the Child of Prophecy can bring light to the world again."
Danny looked at him strangely and then turned to the red-robed woman who was staring at Blackie. She asked, "High Priestess Melisandre, Supreme Priest Benello insists that I'm the reincarnation of Yasuer Ahai. What do you think?"
"You're not the Child of Prophecy." Melisandre's voice was a little hoarse, like a small brush, gently brushing in people's hearts. It was as sexy as her body, but her tone was very firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Danny patted Blackie's neck and said proudly, "I've hatched a dragon."
Melisandre said loudly, "A dragon has three heads. You're only one person. Danny, King Stannis also has the blood of a true dragon. He's the real savior. If you really have a kind heart, you should cooperate with him to fight against the evil and powerful ancient gods. "
"Haha, a dragon has more than three heads. I can make it have as many heads as you give me dragon eggs."
"If you want a dragon, go hatch it yourself!" Danny sneered.
