Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 307 Jon Snow
There is chaos at Castle Black, and rumor has it that spies have spotted the Stark Vanguard cavalry near the ruins of Queencrown.

The abandoned village is located less than 25 leagues south of Castle Black. Legend has it that one of the greatest monarchs in the history of the Targaryen dynasty, Queen Alysanne Targaryen of Jaehaerys I, once lived in the tower of the village. Because of this, the villagers later called it the 'Queen's Crown' and painted the walls at the top of the tower gold.

Jon Snow once passed by there on his way to the Great Wall, and he was deeply impressed by the five-story fortress-like tower standing tall among low houses.

I heard Tommen said that his uncle Tyrion first realized the value of the ruins after the wildlings captured Castle Black, and sent people to repair and strengthen Houcrown Town, and stationed a group of wildling soldiers in it.

After all, it was too small there, a tower that could only accommodate less than a hundred people, it was absolutely impossible to block the father's army.And after capturing Houcrown Town, the Winterfell army could head straight to Castle Black without hindrance.

Although Jon was a captive of the wildlings, he was not strictly imprisoned. In the past two months, he has always had the right to move freely in Castle Black, so he is the most important to the night watchman standing under the Great Wall The fortress is fairly well understood.

Strictly speaking, Castle Black cannot be regarded as a real castle at all, because it has no walls to protect its east, west, south, and south sides, and only the north side stands the Impassable Great Wall.It consists of several stone towers and wooden fortresses, and under the forts and towers there are some underground passages called "wormways" that connect them to each other.

If the enemy comes from the north, relying on the impenetrable Great Wall that goes straight to the clouds, Castle Black is the most easy to defend and difficult to attack fortress in the world, but when the enemy comes from the south. For the defender, its defensive ability It can only be said that it is slightly better than direct field battles.

There are 7 savages stationed in Castle Black today, most of them are old and weak, women and children, and they are all placed outside the castle. About 5000 people are stationed inside Castle Black is already the limit.

The most elite young and middle-aged savages have followed the "King Beyond the Wall" Marvin (player) to the south not long ago. They said that they will capture Winterfell and then capture the entire northern border. But if the news brought back by the defeated army is correct, They have been wiped out by their father.

This was good news for Jon, but he found himself not being happy about it.

During this period of time, he lived with these wildlings, trained together, and shared food together. Sometimes he forgot that he went north to join the Night Watch.

Jon still doesn't know what the Night's Watch is like. The only Night's Watchman he knows is his uncle Bunyan, and he hasn't seen his uncle since the ambush.

With the dream of pursuing honor, the young man followed his uncle to the north of the Great Wall, but encountered an ambush by savages on the way. Since then, his fate took a turn and turned him into a half savage.

Why can't we live in peace?Jon often has such doubts.

After spending time together, he understood the reason why these savages or free people went south, they just wanted to survive.And the northern border is big enough for these free folk to settle down. In fact, it is not the entire northern border. Even this piece of 'gifted land' south of the Great Wall of Desperation is enough for free folk to settle down.

When my father's army arrives at Castle Black, I must make a request to him for the free folk, Jon thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking about the future, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Jon...something happened!"

"Come on." Jon recognized Tommen's voice.

His relationship with Tommen has always been good. Unlike Joffrey's domineering and domineering, this little fat man has a docile and shy personality, and usually likes to read books. It is hard for Jon to imagine that a pair of brothers would have such completely opposite personalities.

It reminded him of his half-sisters Sansa and Arya, Sansa being the most traditional lady with a strong taste in music, poetry, singing, dancing, and other "feminine leisure activities" such as embroidery. Interest, often looking forward to the love story of a handsome prince or a noble knight in fairy tales.

Arya, on the other hand, is not a girl at all. She has no interest in all things 'lady'. Instead, she wants to be a knight. It is often said that she has inherited the strong character of her aunt Lyanna Stark.

I don't know how the two of them are now, but they are in Winterfell, so there is no danger anyway.What really needs to be worried about is Bran, who was pushed from the tower by the Kingslayer and didn't wake up until he left Winterfell, and I don't know if he is awake now.
Is Robb more of a qualified lord than before?Is Rickon still crying like he used to?
Among the savages, Jon has no chance to communicate with his family in Winterfell. The savages don't know how to raise ravens, and even if they do, they probably won't give him the opportunity to communicate with the 'enemy'.

Jon hurried to the entrance of the room and opened the door, only to see a fat little man with blond curly hair stumbling in.

Tommen gasped for breath with an eager look on his face, hot air gushing from his nose and mouth, condensing into a mist in the cold air.

"Did something happen?" Jon asked quickly when he saw this.

"Ghost," Tommen gasped, "Ghost."

"What happened to Bai Ling?" Bai Ling was the name of the direwolf Jon raised.

Back then, Jon and his brothers went to the wilderness to visit his father Ed to execute a deserter from the night watchman. On the way back to the city, they found a dead female direwolf, and there were six cubs beside the direwolf. The five gray ones corresponded to the five children of Duke Eddard, while the remaining white cubs were given to his illegitimate son Jon, who was also an alien, and he named him Ghost.

"Joffrey! He he." Tommen probably ran too fast. Running in thick fur in this extreme northern winter, so far he still hasn't been able to slow down.

But Jon's face had already darkened, no matter what happened, as long as he got involved with that guy Joffrey, then nothing good would happen.

"Where is it?" Jon didn't wait for Tommen to fully introduce the matter, and asked urgently, "Just point it to me."

Tommen led Jon to the wooden stairs outside, and pointed in the direction of the chapel from afar.

Jon didn't dare to delay, and rushed downstairs immediately, but just two steps away, he quickly turned back to the room, picked up his sword, and headed for the chapel again.

Castle Black wasn't that big, and Jon ran wildly all the way, and soon came to the outside of the chapel. He pushed away the wildlings who were watching the fun outside with his hands, and squeezed into the crowd.

After passing through the crowded crowd, Jon's vision finally opened up, and the scene that caught his eye suddenly made him burn with anger.

Ghost was struggling on the ground bruised and bruised, with a fat, dead hare hanging from his mouth. Obviously, it was attacked by these people after returning to Castle Black after hunting.

Joffrey stood not far from Bai Ling, and beside him was a group of wildling boys, who were still throwing stones at Bai Ling.

"Smash that beast to death!" Joffrey laughed heartily, waving the 'lion tooth' in his hand, "Smash it to death, let Stark taste our power!"

Under Joffrey's order, a wildling boy threw a sharp gravel at Bai Ling, hitting it precisely on the head.

"Stop it!" Jon burst into blood, "What are you doing?"

"Oh? Lord Snow is here? Can't you see? We are taking revenge on your Stark family! Isn't your family crest a direwolf? Then we will kill this beast!" Joffrey laughed even more Happy, "By the way, I forgot that you are not a Stark, you are just a Stark bastard!"

As Joffrey spoke, he threw another stone with his own hands.

Seeing this, Jon quickly jumped on Bai Ling, and used his body to help Bai Ling block the attack. The stone hit Jon's back heavily, and a sharp pain came.

"I tell you to stop!" Jon growled angrily, drawing his sword and pointing it at Joffrey.

Seeing this, the wildlings around Joffrey took up weapons and stood in front of him.

Unlike Jon's hostage status, Joffrey is Tyrion's nephew, and Tyrion is the most important ally of the king beyond the wall. The weapons, armor and most of the food of the free folk are all Lannister's fleet Sent to the north, so Joffrey held high among these wildling boys.

"Kill him!" Seeing that Jon dared to draw his sword to point at himself, Joffrey couldn't help being furious, "Kill that bastard! Kill that Stark bastard and give his head to Ed Stark!"

As Joffrey's words fell, the three wildlings really took up arms and rushed to Jon.

Jon was not afraid at all, and immediately made a parrying posture. He has been receiving swordsmanship training since he could walk, and even his brother Robb's swordsmanship is not as good as him.Even with one against three, Jon didn't have any thought of backing down.

"Enough, the farce is over here." However, a moment before the two sides fought hand-to-hand, a voice stopped them.

Jon and the savage boys all looked at the middle-aged Kyle who spoke. The Thenns also follow the tradition of using bronze weapons, but use the sharpest iron.

In addition, this person has another identity. He is the confidant of Marvin, the king beyond the Wall, and has always been by his side, but this time Marvin did not take him with him when he led the army south, and left him in the Castle Black, to protect Joffrey and the Tommen brothers, and perhaps to spy on Jon himself.

The three savage boys retreated to Joffrey's side under Kyle's scolding, and Joffrey restrained his arrogance just now after seeing this person, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Jon put the sword back into the scabbard, turned around and squatted down, and checked Bai Ling's injury.

However, it wasn't until this time that Jon discovered that Bai Ling had lost his vitality. It was covered with scars all over its body, and the most deadly thing was a blood hole on the top of its head. The dyed white hair turned half of its head into the same bright red as its eyes.

"Ah!" Jon roared frantically, pulled out his sword again like losing his mind, and rushed towards Joffrey.

The three savage teenagers standing in front of Joffrey did not expect that the Stark bastard would dare to attack after Lord Kyle ordered him to stop.

Jon knocked one of the boys out of the way, and stabbed Joffrey in the face with his sword. He almost succeeded, and the point of the sword touched the skin on Joffrey's face that was no longer delicate due to the cold wind. , broke through the gap easily, but failed to get the opportunity to go deeper.

Kyle quickly grabbed Jon's arm and stopped it in mid-air.Jon only felt that he was clamped by a pair of iron tongs. Joffrey was already close at hand, but his sword could not take another inch.

Only then did Joffrey react, and quickly took several steps back, before falling to the ground.

"How dare you?" His voice trembled, "Kill him! Kyle! Kill him! Otherwise the Lannister family won't send you anything!" He ordered loudly, but Kyle ignored it completely.

"Kill him!" He could only immediately order to the other savage boys.

But these savage boys didn't dare to act rashly in front of Kyle, they just stood there obediently.

"I said, that's enough." Kyle stared into Jon's eyes and said every word.

"They killed Bai Ling!" Jon used all his strength to break free from Kyle's hand, his whole face was flushed red, but it was still in vain.

"It's just a beast." Kyle winked at the two men, and then let go of Jon's forearm.

The next moment, Jon, who was overstretched, fell to the snow and was pressed to the ground by two wildlings under Kyle.

"Lock him up until his emotions stabilize," Kyle ordered.

The two wildlings seized Jon's sword first, and then held him down. Jon was exhausted and could no longer resist, but kept chanting 'Ghost, Ghost. '

After Jon was dragged away, Kyle also left quickly.

Only then did Joffrey return to Bai Ling's body, gritting his teeth.

"Are you going to burn it?" a savage boy asked.

"No! That's too cheap for that bastard. Skin it off and make me a cloak," Joffrey said bitterly. Recognize whose skin my cloak is made of!"

"After peeling the skin, what about the remaining meat?" Another savage boy asked.

"Of course it's roasted and eaten!" Joffrey said without thinking. "After roasting, you choose the best piece of meat and send it to the bastard, so that he can share our happiness."
