"… This is the verdict of the Northern Territory Council on Karhold City."
After burning down the Main Castle, Blackie stood on top of the smoke-filled Castle Gate tower and faced the small town outside the Castle. He announced the decision of the Northern Territory Council led by Erlu to everyone inside and outside the Castle.
This time, he didn't announce that he was Deathwing or anything else.
In such a serious and cruel situation, Danny wasn't in the mood for gimmicks.
They burned down the city, declared their crimes, and left without hesitation.
Before he left, he used his claws to grab the corpse on the flagpole, the head and torso of the pockmarked Knight.
"It's finally over." Seeing the Black Dragon leap into the dark sky, Sai Gon, who was supporting his wife, heaved a sigh of relief.
He wasn't dead.
After killing the pockmarked Knight and hanging his corpse in public, Sai Gon guessed that Winterfell's reaction would be intense.
He had to use Winterfell's pressure to force the citizens of Karhold City to unite.
Winterfell's pressure wouldn't cause the citizens of Karhold City to rebel.
The night was long, and the sacrifice would only last for a year. Even if the citizens of Karhold City killed Sai Gon to appease Winterfell, they would still have to sacrifice the Frost God the next year.
The distance between Winterfell and Karhold City was almost 1500 kilometers. It was too far, and even the Winged Dragons couldn't throw bombs. It was too tiring to fly while carrying kerosene bombs.
In other words, only the Dragon Queen's Megalosaurus could punish them.
Therefore, Sai Gon was prepared for the Megalosaurus to burn down the Castle.
For example, he secretly arranged for his family to hide in the cellar in the backyard.
For example, he transferred the resources in the Castle and sealed the granary in the basement.
For example, he arranged for the Northerners to replace Therne's garrison on the Castle Wall to unite the citizens.
For example …
"The Megalosaurus came too quickly. It's like when I killed the Flaming Red Heart Knight, Winterfell learned of the news. This isn't normal …"
Sai Gon was puzzled. Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and he shivered.
"Shapeshifter! D * mn, Stark's shapeshifter, Crow, must have been in Karhold City last night. Fortunately, Crow didn't stay in the Castle, "he said fearfully.
If Stark knew that he had made preparations, then …
At least the Megalosaurus could find his family's hiding place, and then the Beggar's Chicken …
"Will the crows fly back to check on the situation in Kaho City?" Yali Ka Stark asked worriedly.
Sai Gong nodded heavily as he said with a cold look in his eyes, "It's too conspicuous to sacrifice the Frost God in Kaho City. Perhaps I should pledge my loyalty to the other king of the Northern Territory. "
"The other King of the Northern Territory?" Yali's expression changed greatly. "You mean Roose Bolton?"
Uh, the old skinner isn't dead yet.
Although Old Skinner and Young Skinner were father and son, after the War of the Four Kings, the two of them became "Independent Nobles" with fiefs and titles.
Winterfell belonged to the young Skinner. He was the Earl of Winterfell and inherited Stark's Castle and fief. The old Skinner, Roose Bolton, was promoted from the Earl of Terror Castle to the Duke of Terror Castle and continued to rule the Bolton Family's ancestral fief.
They were father and son, but they could be considered as separate families.
Therefore, when the young Skinner married the fake Arya and Erlu was defeated by the young Skinner, Roose Bolton brought his men back to his hometown.
Roose Bolton wasn't the master of Winterfell, but the young Skinner was.
Just like in Hejian County, the capital, Rapids City, belonged to Aimon Frey, and his father, Wade Frey, was still the Lord of Rapids City.
In "Game of Thrones," the old Skinner's wife, Fat Vada, gave birth to a son. The young Skinner was worried that his younger brother would steal his position as the Bolton Family's heir, so he killed the old Skinner first and then sent his stepmother and younger brother to the kennel to be eaten by the hounds.
This plot made the young Skinner famous for his ferocity, but severely insulted the intelligence of the old Skinner. Roose Bolton knew what kind of character his illegitimate son was and saw through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Unless he was willing, he wouldn't give Ramus the chance to hurt his younger son.
Even if Fat Vada gave birth to a nest of golden phoenixes, she wouldn't be able to shake Ramus Bolton's right to inherit Winterfell.
The young Skinner could become the "legitimate" master of Winterfell because he married "Arya Stark".
Stark had no male heirs, and Sansa was a wanted criminal for the murder of the king. Erya became the only legitimate heir of Winterfell. Whoever became her husband could legally inherit Winterfell.
Just like when Aegon united the Seven Kingdoms in the War of Conquerors, the Duranden Family of Storm's End had no male heirs. Theon Onis married the daughter of the last Storm King and changed the name of Storm's End to "Theon Byra".
Just like when Sai Gon married Yali and changed the name of Cahor to "Theon".
Of course, this didn't mean that the young Skinner didn't want to kill his younger brother. After all, he definitely wanted the title of Duke of the Terror Castle.
However, the young Skinner didn't have to resort to such drastic measures to make everyone know that he was a kinslayer.
Just like when he killed his own brother, he used poison so cleverly that it was frightening. Everyone had their suspicions, but there was no evidence.
If he killed his own father, how would he answer to his vassals and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms?
He killed his stepmother and brother without hiding anything. Did he really think that the Freys were pushovers?
Hence, the old Skinner didn't die in the hands of his son like in the plot of "Game of Thrones". His wife and youngest son were also alive and well.
Hence, Sai Gon had the idea of dragging him down.
"No matter what, Roose Bolton is the Duke of the Northern Territory recognized by the Iron Throne. I should write him a letter of allegiance.
I heard that his wife just gave birth to a son for him … The deviant ghosts should have reached the Terror Castle by now, right?
Roose Bolton and the Terror Castle will replace us as the biggest target for the Dragon Queen.
Roose Bolton isn't stupid. He will definitely tell the other nobles how he managed to protect the Terror Castle.
Then, the important people in Winterfell won't have time to pay attention to us, "Sai Gon's eyes darkened as he spoke gloomily.
Yali's eyes widened as she stared blankly at her husband. "Then, the Northern Territory will really be finished."
"The last Long Night lasted for an entire generation. Do you think the Northern Territory can last another generation?" Sai Gon said faintly.
"But what if there are too many deviant ghosts and the Savior can't end the Long Night?" Yali asked worriedly.
"Do you think no one sacrificed the Frost God during the last Long Night? Let me tell you, sacrificing the Frost God is a well-known custom beyond the Great Wall. "Sai Gon smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Also, you've seen it yourself. The Dragon Queen can fly. She can actually fly! Yasore and Ahai definitely can't fly, and there's no Megalosaurus. What does this mean?
It means that the Dragon Queen is far stronger than Yasore and Ahai. She doesn't have to care about the little trouble we've caused her. "
Sai Gon was full of confidence. No matter what he did in his despair, he was full of hope for the future.
The Long Night would be ended by the Savior. As long as he persevered, there would be a day when he could see the sun again.
"Isn't the Savior Stannis? I heard that Her Majesty Danny Rize denied that she was the reincarnation of Yasore and Ahai, "Yali said doubtfully.
"Stannis still insists that he's the King of the Seven Kingdoms, but is he?" Sai Gon's face was full of disapproval.
Yali was infected by her husband's confidence and began to worry about the future. "If the Long Night ends and the Dragon Queen decides to settle everything, what will we do?"
"Karhold isn't far from the Great Wall. I'll put on the black clothes before the Long Night ends. Once I put on the black clothes, all my previous crimes will be forgiven. "Sai Gon smiled faintly.
"Will it work?" Yali was still worried.
"Haha, when the Long Night ends, all the survivors in the world will be under the influence of ghosts. As the saying goes, the law can't punish the majority. No matter how ruthless she is, can she kill everyone?
Besides, I'm not afraid of death. As long as you're alive, we can have a few more babies. As long as you're all alive, the Thurn family will continue to pass on. I'm not afraid of anything!
Even if the Savior really decides to settle everything, when she's settling the Southerners, we can secretly lead our people across the Great Wall and become free people beyond the Great Wall! "
Seeing that her husband had thought everything through, Yali was completely relieved.
"Mm, I'll give you a few more sons."
"No, I want daughters. Gods bless me, let's have daughters!" Sai Gon said bitterly.
.....
The Terror Fortress was only a few hundred kilometers away from Karhold. A messenger crow could fly there in an afternoon.
In the evening, Luce Bolton received Sai Gon's letter of loyalty.
The content of the letter was unusually "sincere". Sai Gon described his experience during this period of time in detail.
He included how he discovered the Other Ghosts, how he carried his son into the forest, how he completed the sacrifice, how the Other Ghost Army retreated quickly …
It was like an instruction manual.
"Sai Gon Thurn, interesting!" Luce Bolton's expression was calm. There was no emotion, no excitement, and no anger.
"Unfortunately, you've underestimated me." He folded the letter slowly, put it in an empty envelope, and then bent over the table to write another letter.
"Wuwuwu …" Fat Vada was crying on the soft couch opposite him.
"Don't cry. You're still young, and I still have the ability. You'll have many children in the future." Luce Bolton's eyes were still as cold as ice as he comforted his wife.
Before Sai Gon's letter arrived, the Duke of the Terror Fortress had already completed the sacrifice ceremony.
Sai Gon had indeed underestimated him. The Bolton family's history was as long as Stark's. They had all experienced the last Long Night. How could they not know how to sacrifice the Other Ghosts?
Why would they need a savage from beyond the Great Wall to remind them?
They had already washed their sons and were waiting for the Other Ghost Lord to come and get them!
"But, Dragon Queen burned Karhold …" Fat Vada stared at the Frey family's unique watery blue eyes and said cowardly.
Vada Frey was fat like a pink ball, but she was not stupid. Instead, she had received a complete aristocratic education. She could read, write, and think.
"So? Only the Other Ghosts know how many nobles have sacrificed to the Frost God. Can the Dragon Queen burn the entire Northern Territory? "Luce Bolton's smooth cheeks were emotionless.
"The Terror Fortress is different. We're Stark's enemy. Sai Gon is up to no good. He's allowed to tell Winterfell that we're also … "
Fat Vada had her own judgment about the current situation in the Northern Territory.
Luce Bolton put down his pen, dried the ink on the letter, and slowly folded it. He stuffed it into the previous envelope, sealed it with wax, and pressed the family emblem.
He called for a servant and instructed the scholar to deliver the letter to King's Landing.
After doing all this, he said softly to his wife, "Remember your mother's surname. When you meet the Dragon Queen, immediately tell her who your uncle is.
No matter what I do, she won't touch a hair on you or your children. "
"My uncle … Jon Dary, William Dary?" (ps) "Fat Vada was deep in thought.
Sai Gon had his own plans and even considered the Great Liquidation after the Long Night. Luce Bolton had his own plans and considered the situation of the Seven Kingdoms after the Long Night.
He had married Fat Vada because she was fat.
Well, Wade Frey had promised that as long as Luce was willing to marry a Frey, he would give the bride the same amount of silver as her dowry.
Now, he realized how special Fat Vada's identity was.
The Bolton family would survive this Long Night.
Luce Bolton was confident.
"Caw, caw, caw …" A large crow flew past the window of the duke's bedroom, a letter tube tied to its leg. It contained a letter from the master of the Terror Fortress and a letter from Sai Gon.
They would fall into the hands of Cersei or You Lun in a few days. Soon, parts of the letter would spread like a plague in the Westeros.
Perhaps, not just the Westeros.
This was a virus that swept the world.
It came from the human heart and infected the human heart.
