Sword and Magic and Taxi

The dark sky brought a biting chill, and the brothers of the night watch could only feel the warmth from each other if they crowded together. Since the stairs used to climb the Great Wall had been damaged in previous battles, people could only rely on winches to pull iron cages up the Great Wall, with no more than ten people at a time. When Jon arrived, he happened to be the eleventh, so he had to wait for the next batch. He looked back, hoping to see some good brothers like Grant, Piper or Eddie, but there were only Satin, Muli, Boots and Bucket around.

Maybe it was Gülen who blew the trumpet on the city wall, or maybe it was Pyp? He wasn't sure. But he was certain of one thing, and that was that the way everyone looked at him was strange and... unique.

Can it not be unique? How many night watchmen can have a woman who is in love with each other, and that woman is a free citizen? By the way, the Night's Watch still calls the people north of the Wall wildlings, instead of free folk like he and Sam call them.

Sam simply read too much, knew too much in detail, and was too compassionate. And what about him? Jon thought about it, when did he start using the term free folk? He was sure that he was not like this when he left the Fist of the First Men and followed Qorin Halfhand to investigate the situation. This was not the case when the red-haired Ygritte was captured. Even when he let Ygritte go because he didn't want to kill the woman, he still called her Savage.

Later, the savages came and captured them. Qorin Halfhand knew that he had too many enemies among the wildlings, so he ordered Jon to kill him and pretend to defect to the wildlings. Jon obeyed this order, killed the legendary Ranger of the Night's Watch, and became a free man. Ygritte vouched for him and stayed with him, both as a guard and as a companion, both in body and soul. Jon met King Beyond the Wall Mance Rayder, the traitor to the Night's Watch, passed his test and became a free man.

He could be sure that he had followed Qorin Halfhand's orders before joining, and he could be sure that he was not a traitor.

But Ygritte... Jon fell in love with Ygritte, and the two did all the things that lovers should do, and how many of them were forbidden by the oath of the Night's Watch? Night watchmen do not take wives, fiefdoms, or have children. Sam said that Jon did not marry a wife, and at least he did not have children yet, so it did not mean that he had broken his vows. But how many people would agree with Fat Sam?

Jon missed Old Bear very much and really wanted to find him to answer his questions, but he didn't expect that once he said goodbye, he would say goodbye forever. Jon joined the free folk's assault team, followed Ygritte over the Great Wall, came to the south side, and then found an opportunity to escape. That day, he was supposed to take Ygritte with him, but he failed because of fear. Seriously wounded, he returns to Castle Black. He fully hoped that Mr. Xiong could tell him how to do it, but he only heard about Mr. Xiong being killed by a traitor in Custer's Fortress.

I want to avenge Old Bear, and we want to avenge our common father! Jon led a team of troops north to Castle Castle. This action aroused the praise of too many brothers in Castle Black! However, Jon knew in his heart that there was no personal relationship involved. He was terrified of seeing Ygritte at Castle Black. He knew she would attack Castle Black, for sure.

At Custer Fortress, he met Zhao Mai. Jon still clearly remembers how Mike analyzed the pros and cons in a logical manner on the night he tried to desert. It would be great if Mike could also help him sort out his relationship with Ygritte. However, there were too many brothers around at that time, and when he first heard the news about Bran Stark, Jon was unable to find a chance to speak. He was only given three potions, which were said to be used to treat fatal injuries.

He returns to Castle Black and meets the returning Sam. The old bear's last words were in Sam's body, and Jon became a candidate for the next commander. The brothers like him, especially since he has just avenged Old Xiong, which adds a lot of points to him. But at this time, the savages attacked Castle Black, and it took everyone a lot of effort to resist them. After the battle, they saw Jon holding a red-haired female wildling in his arms.

Ygritte got an arrow in her chest, a black arrow, an arrow from the Night's Watch, but not Jon's arrow. Jon pulled it out and gave her a potion to cure the fatal wound, saving her life. But how to deal with her, and how to deal with him? Regarding the former, the Night's Watch locked up Ygritte alone. Regarding the latter, everyone has not yet been able to form a unified opinion.

If I died, that would probably be fine. I just hope Ygritte is okay. Jon thought to himself. If the wildlings prevailed, Ygritte would be free, but that would also mean the sacrifice of all her brothers in the Night's Watch. Could it be that the best outcome is that I die, the Night's Watch wins, and Ygritte is free? Jon couldn't help but tremble all over, but he finally came to his senses at this moment and realized that he had reached the top of the Great Wall.

Take it! Eat it! The three-fingered Habu distributed large pieces of black bread and warm wine beside the hanging cage, and also gave a portion to Jon. When eating bread, you can hide your expression and observe the situation outside. The brothers used poles taller than people to prop up a row of copper basins on the top of the Great Wall, and a blazing fire rose inside. All kinds of defensive equipment have been prepared long ago, just waiting for the enemy to attack. Although everyone knows that the White Walkers and corpses are the ultimate enemies, this does not mean that anyone can allow the savages to pass through the Great Wall! For a long time, every small group of savages who sneaked across the border had done nothing good south of the Great Wall. They only know how to burn, kill, loot and steal, and the people in the north already hate them to death.

In the face of this hatred, what does Jon's love for one of the female wildlings count?

The trebuchet roared, and two large barrels filled with flammable pitch were thrown out, followed by match ropes. The vat shattered in the air, and a rain of fire fell from the sky. It would still burn when it fell to the ground, providing visibility to those on the Great Wall. With the help of this dim light, they saw nearly ten mammoths walking out of the woods with heavy steps, followed by the savage army.

With the general direction in mind, two more asphalt barrels flew out, and this time they shattered when they hit the ground. They saw more clearly, not ten heads, but a hundred. The tall giants commanded the mammoths, and one of the giants roared in ancient languages. The huge voice was like thunder from ancient times, reaching the top of the Great Wall, making Jon's body shake.

Their target is the city gate! Jon shouted loudly: It is impossible for giants to climb the Great Wall. They can only come through the city gate, so that must be the target of the main attack!

The melancholy Add put the horn beside him and said to Jon with a dry mouth: You are right, Ser Alliser would be foolish to reject your opinion. He grabbed a ball of snow and put it in his mouth , and then took the warm wine that Jon handed over, mixed it and swallowed it. If we had frozen the city gate before, we wouldn't have had to divide our troops to guard the upper and lower parts of the city.

Grant nodded, but then he shook his head and said in a melancholy tone: It would be great if... I mean if, Mike was here. He is definitely not afraid of those giants and mammoths, it is easy for him to Can knock them down.

If he were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't fight the wildlings. Jon said: I think he has only one target, and that is the White Walkers. As for the wildlings or the Night's Watch, he actually...

Piper jumped over from behind and suddenly patted Jon on the shoulder, interrupting him: Hey, you and I are together today, you know?

Jon looked back and saw that Ser Alliser was standing not far away, looking at him coldly.
