Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 178 The Horn of the Great Wall

Eastwatch is the easternmost castle on the Wall, located on the windswept beach at Seal Bay.The night watchman's fleet is stationed here, there are large ships and narrow ships, they are moored on the coast, Theon counted over and over again, eleven ships, the entire night watchman has only eleven ships, much less than the ships of the Iron Islands too much.

He thought to himself that if the Ironborn wanted to capture East Bay, it would be as easy as pie.But there is nothing in this place except ice and snow and strong wind.

Theon looked at the white-capped world beyond the Great Wall. Unless the Ironborn had salt water in his head, he would not have looked at it here.

He tightened his body and sat beside the steel basin, with a longbow and spear beside him. As long as the wind mixed with snowflakes blew, no amount of flames could warm Theon.

Damn, why was he so obsessed with wanting to capture Winterfell in the first place? Theon originally wanted to make the Northern Territory an alliance with the Iron Islands. Like Robb, he became the king who ruled one side of the world.

On the boat, he thought a lot about how to convince his father, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and thought of Robb's admiration when he led the Iron Fleet to support him.

But after he returned to Pike Island, he found that his father and the ironborn didn't like him, and even laughed at him for being like a woman.

In Winterfell he was called an adopted son, but he was actually a proton, and those high-spirited Starks never saw him.Theon thought that he would be welcomed back to the home he had not lived in for ten years, but there was nothing but cynicism.

When he put on black clothes, he swore that he would never marry a wife, bear children, wear a crown, or compete for honor and favor in his life.But those people still mocked him as a failed usurper, like his father Baron.

He joined those lowly horse thieves and rapists, stood on the city wall and patrolled like a soldier, and was blown by the cold wind.Fortunately, the night watchmen stationed at Eastwatch are also from the Iron Islands.

Carter Pike, he had small eyes, a broken nose, and a forehead as thin as the point of a spear.The measles had completely ruined his face, and the beard he had grown to hide it was sparse and unkempt.

He is the captain of Eastwatch's garrison, and he is in charge of two hundred night watchmen. Because of Theon's good martial arts skills, he is highly valued by him.

Carter Pike told him that the night watchman no longer valued his former identity, no matter what he was or what he did in the past, the moment he put on black clothes, he had bid farewell to the past.

But Carter told Theon that betrayers and deserters were not tolerated by the Night's Watch.

He received the crow from Castle Black, and hoped that the brothers of Eastwatch would go to support Castle Black. Carter asked Janos Slynt to take someone there, and Theon was left behind.

Well, he didn't want to go with that double-jawed bastard, Genos thought he was noble, but he was really just a butcher's son.

Janos Slynt was once the commander-in-chief of the city defense of King's Landing. He himself said that he was the lord of Harrenhal, but Theon knew that Harrenhal had been burned to ruins by Aegon the Conqueror. , I heard that now there are only curses and ghosts.

Janos and the others also took away a wildman named Rattleshirt. The wildman wore bone armor and held a broken giant skull as a helmet. He claimed to have seen Jon kill Colin Halfhand and betrayed the night watchman.

Theon thought of the illegitimate son of Stark, the letter from Castle Black, stating that it was Jon Snow who brought the news that the wildlings were going to attack Castle Black.

Will Jon Snow betray his vow?Theon knew his nature, the boy was like his father.

The supporting army walked west along the Great Wall, and Theon knew that these people would definitely not let that guy Snow go, the night watchman would not be betrayed, and they had seen Lord Ed execute a man with the giant sword "Ice" together. The escaped night watchman.Theon was wondering if Duke Ed would personally execute him if he knew the news of his son's breach of oath.

As Ed's adopted son, he used to be the Duke's sword servant, and he held the ice sword. The sword was much lighter than he thought, and Sean pulled it out quietly. Thin and thin, with beautiful lines, and the sharpness of Valyrian steel swords, there is hardly any substance in the world that can compare with it.

He was deeply attracted by the sword, and Theon was very eager to own such a sword, but he was not a Stark, and the Greyjoy family had never heard of such a sword.

He had also come across another Valyrian sword, not a greatsword but better suited for combat, in the hands of a Night's Watch boy who wasn't a Night's Watch and looked like a knight.He was taken in by Robb as a cook in the castle, and Theon secretly asked the chef of the castle to make things difficult for this kid, and even bought a few young cooks.

Theon's mind recalled the battle outside Winterfell, and heard that the boy had made a living in the south and became Stannis' son-in-law.

In the lobby yesterday, Quincy also sang "White Bird Among Crows," the song the singers wove for Cole.

Theon didn't tell them that Cole, who was said to be invincible by the singer in the Whispering Forest, was almost shot to death by his arrow. At that time, Theon didn't recognize him, but just wanted to save Robb with his bow.

He actually saved Robb and Bran, and he saved Stark's life.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the flames in the steel basin swayed, blowing up several sparks and charcoal powder, and Theon shivered from the cold. Even if the wildling didn't kill him, he would have to be frozen to death by this weather sooner or later.

Although he grew up in the north, he had never felt such cold, the maester said, it was winter.His memory of the previous winter was hazy.

The brothers of the night watchman also said that this is the coming of the long night. The memory of the long night on the Impassable Great Wall is still 1000 years ago, but the recorded bibliography is very rare, only a few sentences.

Theon didn't believe in the Long Night and the White Walkers, just frightening tales from the wet nurses of Winterfell.He thought it was just a way for wild people to scare people, just some clever juggling.

He had to get up and walk, or he would have to freeze to death on the Great Wall.

Woo!
A simple and loud horn sounded.

Is there a Brother of the Night's Watch back?Theon looked in the direction of the tower.

Woohoo! !
Twice?Here come the wildlings.

Theon quickly picked up his longbow and spear, and ran to the horn.

He saw the brothers in black pouring out of the tower at Eastwatch, and Theon ran to the east, where the horn was.

"What's the matter? What happened?" he asked the brother. "Where's the Savage?"

The man shook his head and pointed Theon in a direction.

On a dark sea surface, long and narrow black shadows passed through the mist, until the keel of the battleship pierced through the white mist and appeared in Theon's eyes. The black flag, the coat of arms of the flag is a white bird breathing flames.
