"Your Majesty, can you lend me some food?" Jon asked awkwardly.
"Where do I have food for you?" Danny shook her head and sighed. "If we were at Slaver's Bay, I could give you a few thousand tons of rice. But the Great Wall is far away, and there's nowhere to buy it."
Jon's eyes wandered, and he said weakly, "Sir Gero Dane brought 80 ships …"
"Commander in chief, are you crazy? That's the food for the freedmen and the Night Watchers! "Perestan's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I'll borrow it temporarily. After we take down Winterfell, I'll … return it," Jon said with his head lowered.
The red-nosed old monk's face turned red, and he said angrily, "Duke Stark, are you fooling the deviants? The North doesn't even have summer food, how are you going to return it?"
Jon's face turned green and red, and he was ashamed.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, lend me some money, and I'll go to Braavos to buy food and ship it to Eastwatch. Lend me the food first, and then use the food from Braavos to make up for it. "
This was also a method that was highly feasible.
"It'll cost at least a million gold royals, and I don't have that much cash. Why don't you get a loan from the Iron Treasury? " Danny thought for a while and said.
"Iron Treasury …" Jon was deep in thought.
"Even if you get a loan, you'll have to get the approval of the Night Watchers if you want to use the supplies from the Great Wall.
I've said before, the food is prepared for the Night Watchers and the savages. From the moment it's shipped to Eastwatch, it belongs to the Night Watchers. "
.....
"If the Queen vouches for this, there won't be any problems, but …"
Blacksmith Tanner glanced at Jon and sighed. He shook his head and said, "Duke Stark, do you understand, if the Night Watchers lend you the supplies to help you attack the Iron Throne's appointed guardian of the North, how will the other nobles view this?
Moreover, you might not succeed.
Earl Lusbotton and Marquis Waldfrey's alliance has more than 20,000 soldiers … If you lose and die, won't the Night Watchers starve to death? "
Jon looked at Danny.
She shrugged and said helplessly, "It's easy to promise, but how can you tell me how to fulfill my promise?
At most, I'll let you take your weapons, and I promise to provide enough dragon-tooth daggers for the Night Watchers. "
"When the new commander-in-chief of the night watchers is elected, you can talk to him, Duke Stark," Tanner suggested.
Jon was helpless, but he understood that this was his only choice.
Danny did not stay at the Great Wall for long. She witnessed Jon's resurrection in the morning. After lunch, she left with her underlings on the dragon.
However, she did not return to Astapor immediately. Instead, she decided to head south to City College and check on Erlu.
Before leaving, Big Bear found Jon and proposed to bring the big crow to Slave Bay.
After all, he was Big Bear's father. Jon only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He even returned the "Long Claw" (the Mormont family's Vajang sword) that Elder Bear had given him.
"Commander Mormont gave me the claw in the hope that I could use it to deal with the deviant ghosts as a Night Watcher. Now, I'm no longer qualified to use it. "
"Bam bam bam …" Big Bear lifted his chin slightly and patted his chest proudly, causing the white glazed Vajang armor to rumble.
"It's all made of Vajang, and this sword …"
He patted the two-handed sword at his waist.
"Heavenly Mercy Sword! The Queen named the seven white knights' armor and sword after the stars of the seven gods.
This sword corresponds to the Mother Star. It's called 'Heavenly Mercy Sword', and the armor is called 'Heavenly Mercy Star Armor'. "
Chora looked at the big crow beside him. There was an indescribable pride and joy in his expression.
This was returning home in glory. Moreover, he was showing his divinity in front of his father. The pleasure was doubled.
"Caw caw caw caw …" Elder Crow cried out happily. "Chora, you're good. I'm relieved. Stay at the Great Wall."
Uh, Big Bear had regained his glory and was living well. Elder Crow did not want to leave with his son.
Well, Elder Bear had left his last words. He asked Sam to inform Big Bear, "I forgive you. Come back and put on the black clothes."
Obviously, the white knights were much more honorable than the night watchers.
.....
When Danny returned to the courtyard and was about to leave on the dragon, she was surprised to see Erlu's ugly daughter talking to Dahei.
"… I'm almost 12 years old. How old are you this year?"
"Although I'm not even four years old, I'm already a Dragon God."
Dahei's voice was like an old bull.
He was not speaking Eastern Dragon Language, but Westeros.
In fact, he was more fluent in Westeros than Eastern Dragon Language. This was because other than Danny, he had never heard Eastern Dragon Language in other people's daily conversations.
"Wow, Dragon God?" Shireen cried out in surprise. Then she asked in confusion, "What's a Dragon God?"
"Dragon God is the Seven Gods. It's the Red God …" Dahei did not understand half of it himself.
"Dahei, what are you doing?" Danny entered the Dragon Spirit and asked in surprise.
"What?" Dahei was stunned.
"Why are you so enthusiastic about that little girl?" Danny asked curiously.
"Shireen …" Dahei was silent for a moment and said, "She's a little like you."
Danny's face darkened.
"I'm ugly?"
"Ugly? Is Shireen ugly? I don't know! I just think … I, I don't know. "Dahei was confused.
Danny frowned and thought.
Dahei would not lie. Then she must be similar to Shireen.
It had nothing to do with looks.
Bloodline?
Shireen had almost no Targaryen characteristics.
Danny was also confused.
In fact, Danny had entered a blind spot. Although Dahei was hatched by her, his first Dragon Spirit was with the original Danny Rize.
A year before Dahei was born, he and Danny Rize were in the Dragon Spirit's dream. At that time, Danny Rize was lonely and self-pitying … She was very similar to Shireen now.
Of course, bloodline was also a factor.
If Danny took Shireen's blood for a test, she would be surprised to find that her blood was much purer than Erlu.
"Ah, Queen …" Shireen saw Danny and bowed in panic. However, she did not know how to greet her.
In theory, her father was the king and her mother was the queen.
"Dragon Queen, my name is Shireen. Shireen Bella Theon greets you!" Finally, Shireen lifted her skirt and bowed, performing the etiquette of a junior greeting an elder.
Danny nodded secretly. She and Erlu were cousins, so she was indeed Shireen's elder.
The etiquette of an elder and a junior did not involve the fight for the throne and avoided a lot of awkwardness. For example, Shireen's mother was standing at the entrance of the King's Tower looking at them. However, she could not come over because she was the queen.
This little girl reacted quickly and was very smart.
Dani praised her in her heart, and her impression of this ugly girl improved a lot.
"You're not afraid of the Megalosaurus?"
Shireen raised her head, revealing half of her gray-scaled face. She looked at Danny gracefully and said, "I was a little afraid at first, but after seeing his eyes, I'm not afraid anymore."
Danny's impression of her became even better.
"How did you think of talking to him?"
"I heard a lot of stories about Blackie. I know he can talk, so I really want to talk to him," Shireen said.
Danny suddenly asked on a whim, "Do you want to ride a dragon?"
"Ah, can I?" Shireen opened her eyes wide and pointed at her nose with her little finger. She could not believe it.
"You can go up and try," Danny said.
Shireen asked Blackie before nervously climbing onto the dragon's back.
"Wow —" The Megalosaurus roared and Shireen's long hair fluttered. She opened her mouth wide and shouted.
Erlu's wife finally let go of her reservations and trotted to Danny's side. She asked nervously, "How did Shireen become a dragon knight?"
"I told her to become one, so she became one."
"Dragons have three heads. Is Shireen one of them?" The bearded king with big ears was surprised.
"What do you think?" Danny was speechless.
Dragons having three heads is the Targaryen family's destiny. Why are you, a stag, joining in the fun?
The queen's protruding ears twitched a few times and said with certainty, "Shireen has the blood of the True Dragon."
"The problem is, she's now the 'Flaming Stag.' Are you going to surrender to me?"
"You saw the miracle in the morning." The queen raised her chin slightly, even the black hair in her nostrils was exposed. "The great King of Light is invincible. He can even resurrect people. His prophecy will come true. My husband is the true king, the savior."
Danny looked at the Red God believer with a red heart embroidered on her chest with pity and reminded her softly, "Didn't you hear that everyone calls Jon Stark the 'savior'?
Even if there is a child of prophecy, your husband is only the king's … cannon fodder. "
Erlu's wife froze. Her eyes widened as she looked at Jon in horror. Her hairy cheeks were as pale as a dead person's.
.....
Because she had a good time with Shireen, Danny decided to help her check on Erlu's situation.
The direwolf, Whitty, had been hanging around Erlu. From Jon, Danny learned about Erlu's approximate location and found him in the wolf forest.
It was terrible.
The north wind whistled. Snowflakes the size of goose feathers covered the sky. The snow on the ground was waist-deep. The world was gray. The breath of the passersby turned into ice. Even their souls were almost frozen.
Danny estimated that the temperature was below -20 degrees Celsius.
But Erlu's thousand red hearts all came from the warm south.
A proper child of summer …
It was worse than Napoleon's conquest of Moscow.
Napoleon had at least half of Europe as his logistics base. Erlu had nothing but human lives to gain.
If You Lun had not let go of Carlin Bay, Erlu would have had a chance to succeed with Wu's help. Because the elite soldiers of the Northern Territory had been taken away by Robb, Winterfell only had two to three thousand defenders who looked united but were actually divided.
But Roose Bolton's return not only brought back a large number of veterans, but also calmed the people of the Northern Territory.
Erlu was trapped in the wolf forest, unable to advance or retreat.
There was a 500-kilometer wide forest from Deepwood Castle to Winterfell. The people of the Northern Territory called it the "Wolf Forest".
If they retreated, there was nowhere to retreat. If they advanced, there were more than ten thousand Northern Territory soldiers in Winterfell waiting for them.
If not for the black smoke rising from Erlu's camp, Danny would not have been able to find his camp. It was completely covered in snow, a vast expanse of white.
"Ahhh, monster, look at the sky, what kind of monster is that?!"
Erlu's army had four thousand people. Other than the thousand red hearts from the south, there were also three thousand clansmen recruited from the mountains in the west.
The clansmen were chiseling ice on the lake to fish. When they noticed the sky darkening, they looked up and saw Blackie whizzing across the sky.
But they had never seen a Megalosaurus before. They were all scared out of their wits, rolling and crawling, shouting loudly.
"Megalosaurus, don't be afraid. That's a Megalosaurus!"
"The Black Dragon is here!"
This was Erlu's knight.
In an instant, the camp came alive. The clansmen and knights climbed out of the snow-covered "chimney" one by one.
They were like gophers that came out of their caves to look for food at night.
"Is it really the Dragon Queen?" Asha dragged the heavy chains and squinted at the sky.
