Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

  Chapter 476 The Wind and Snow on the Great Wall

  The heavy snow that lasted for a month finally stopped, and the sun broke through the clouds near noon.

  The sun shone on the Great Wall of Impossibility, shining light blue light.

   Ed Stark stood on the Great Wall, overlooking the ghostly forest below.

  The whistling north wind swept through the woods below, and the thin ice crystals on the crown of the trees fell one after another, like an ice banner unfolding.

   But what attracted his attention more was the wildling tribe's flag with all kinds of strange faces in the forest.

  Countless colorful tents are like mushrooms in the forest, densely crowded to the north of the Great Wall, and the number is countless.

  In this forest, all the savages north of the Great Wall are gathered.

   Mountain barbarians, salt sea sailors, skinchangers and giants, cannibal tribes of the Great Glacier, cave dwellers with faces dyed in every color, Hornfoot men with soles like boiled leather...

   All these savages of all kinds and shapes were gathered by a man who called himself "the king beyond the wall".

  To be honest, Ed Stark, once the Duke of the North and the Hand of the King, had to admit that the difficulty of controlling such a huge "rabble" was comparable to hell.

  Perhaps there was really some terror chasing them, so the wildlings had to unite under the command of the King Beyond the Wall.

   Is it the legendary ghost?

   Ed frowned tightly.

  Of course, no matter how many savages there are, it is not easy to break through the artificial moat of the Great Wall.

  For so many days, the savages launched countless attacks, but apart from leaving corpses behind, they couldn't shake the Great Wall at all.

  They even tried to send elite climbing teams over the Great Wall and attack from the south.

   This is indeed a good idea. After all, the Great Wall can only stop the attack from the north, but it has no defense against the south.

   Fortunately, Jon Snow brought information in time to prevent the wildlings from raiding this time.

   However, Ed did not feel relaxed about it.

  Because his illegitimate son Jon also brought back a distressing news——

  North of the Great Wall, White Walkers really appeared.

  Of course, the night watchmen are now arguing endlessly about the authenticity of this news.

  Many people questioned Jon, in fact, because he had surrendered to the wildlings before, and killed his companion "Halfhand" Colin with his own hands.

  Although Jon justified that he had to do some extraordinary things just to break into the enemy, but this kind of argument is difficult to convince all the night watchmen.

  If Eddard hadn't been the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and used his own reputation as a guarantee for the illegitimate son, I'm afraid Jon would inevitably face trial.

   But in this way, not many people believed the news about the White Walkers that Jon brought back.

  The creaking sound interrupted Ed's thoughts. When he turned his head, he saw his illegitimate son coming to the top of the city in a lifting iron cage.

   "Father," Jon called as soon as he came up, "we have a raven from the Schooltown."

   "Bring what news?"

   "No news," said Jon. "It was a raven."

  Ed instantly understood that the white raven didn't deliver news, it only announced the end of the season.

   Now that fall is over, so…

   "Winter is coming." Ed let out a mouthful of foul air, and the seriousness on his face could almost wring out water.

   "The White Walkers will also go south." Jon persuaded, "We must let the wildlings in, otherwise, these hundreds of thousands of people will be killed and turned into ghouls!"

   Ed didn't speak.

  It was really hard for him to make up his mind.

   Once so many wildlings are allowed to enter the south of the Great Wall, I am afraid that the northern border will suffer first.

  Winter is coming, and the people in the north couldn't fill their stomachs, but now there are hundreds of thousands of mouths to grab food. Ed can't imagine how many killings and corpses will be added by then.

  But he also knew that Jon was right. If these hundreds of thousands of wildlings were killed by the White Walkers and turned into ghouls, that would be a real disaster.

   What's more, savages are people too.

  The father and son fell silent, only the cry of the cold wind could be heard around them.

   After an unknown amount of time, Jon Snow finally spoke again, but asked another question:

   "Father, you promised before that when we meet again, you will tell me who my mother is?"

  Ed became even more silent.

   This was another question that made him extremely entangled.

  The creaking sound of the lifting iron cage sounded again. Ed turned around and saw Bachelor Wende striding over.

   "Lord Ed," the bachelor stepped forward and handed over a letter, "This is a letter from King's Landing."

  Ed took the letter and glanced at it quickly, with no expression on his face:

   "Caesar has entered King's Landing."

  Jon was slightly surprised when he heard the words: "So, Targaryen has been restored?"

"The Baratheon dynasty has indeed collapsed, but the new dynasty may not be Targaryen, at least Caesar has not changed his surname." Ed turned to the bachelor, "Master Wende, please call the brothers, I have something to announce to them. Lord Stannis, invite him too."

"good."

  After the bachelor left, Ed looked at his illegitimate son again, and finally said:

   "Jon, it's time for me to tell you the truth."

  Jon was refreshed, and immediately listened attentively, but the other party's next sentence made him confused.

   "You are not actually my son..." Ed pursed his lips, and continued, "Your mother is my sister Lyanna Stark, and your real father... is Prince Rhaegar Targaryen."

  Jon opened his mouth wide and didn't know how to respond for a while.

  He originally only wanted to know who his mother was, but unexpectedly, he got such an answer.

   Ed reached out and patted Jon's shoulder, saying:

   "Back then in the Tower of Bliss, your mother died after giving birth to you. You also know the situation at that time. I must conceal your real life experience, otherwise the Baratheon family will not let you go.

   Fortunately, now that the Baratheon Dynasty has collapsed, all past grievances have disappeared, if you want to restore your surname..."

   "No!" Jon said suddenly, "I'm not some Targaryen, I'm Snow, your illegitimate son!"

  Ed sighed: "There is nothing noble about the surname Snow."

   "But I'm used to it." Jon said firmly, "And, I only recognize you as my father!"

  Ed was slightly moved when he heard the words, and no longer forced:

   "Okay, if that's the case, then you are still my son. Besides, in the Great Wall, there is no difference between Targaryen and Snow."

"Um."

   "Let's go. Let's go down." Ed turned and walked towards the elevator cage, "Caesar asked us to let the wildlings in, and said that King's Landing would provide food to feed them."

   "Great!" Jon cheered, and hurriedly followed.

  The two went down the Great Wall and returned to Castle Black.

   "Yo! Isn't this our noble Lord Ed, and his illegitimate son." James Lannister joked in a weird tone after seeing the two.

  Jon immediately said: "I am not an illegitimate child!"

   "Then what are you?"

   "I..." Jon wanted to tell the truth, but hesitated.

   Ed said at this moment;

   "Jaime, there is a letter from King's Landing, Tommen Baratheon surrendered to Caesar, and your father Tywin is also dead."

  The strange smile on James' face froze immediately, but soon, he curled his lips and said:

   "I have already put on black clothes, and the struggle for power in the South has nothing to do with me."

   Ed nodded, and said:

   "Also, your sister is here too."

   "Cersei?" James asked suspiciously, "Since when did the Great Wall accept women?"

   "She didn't come to the Great Wall, but to Mole Village."

  Hearing this, James' face turned pale instantly.
