Gary assigned three war horses to Bran and the others, just enough for each person to ride one.
Bran The saddle of the war horse was covered with an extra length of blanket. Originally, it was intended that the Li De brothers and sisters would ride on this horse together.
Now that Jojian is gone, the extended saddle is of no use.
Meera left the team and wanted to go deep into Haunted Forest to find his brother Jiujian.
Gary stopped her in time with Ice Magic, "Where are you going?"
Meera turned around excitedly and shouted, "I want to go find Jiujian! Don't stop me."
Gary said in a deep voice, "Jiu Jian is dead! If you enter Haunted Forest alone now, you will die too! The forest is full of Shadowcat, snow bears, Wildlings, and Wights."
"Jiu Jian is not dead. He was still breathing when he was taken away by the snow bear..." Meera's voice became smaller and smaller, and she knew she was deceiving herself.
Gary rode a horse to her side, "Think about your father, think about your family. If you die north of Wall, House Reed will have no successors and will surely perish. Your father will die alone, and in the end there will not even be a descendant to collect his body."
Meera was touched, and she wiped the tears from her face, "Your Majesty, I think that even if Jojian has only one breath when we find him, you can use Magic to revive him."
Not to mention that Jiujian only has one breath, even if he dies, as long as the body is still there, Gary can resurrect him.
But snow bears are carnivores, so how could they keep the carcasses and not eat them?
Gary pointed to the snow in the distance, "The snow is falling so hard that the footprints on the snow are covered. We have no clues, how can we find them? Besides, the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. If you don't return to Castle Black, you will freeze to death in Haunted Forest!"
By the time they spent several days finding those snow bears, Jojian might not even have any bones left.
Meera also understood the seriousness. With a sad mood, she took a deep look at Haunted Forest, and then left with Gary and others.
The Wall west section, at the foot of the wall.
It was getting dark at this time, and the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, making it impossible to continue moving forward.
After Gary joined Melisandre, he used Ice Magic to create a hemispherical Ice barrier to withstand the wind and snow.
The barrier is attached to the wall of the Wall, so it is not afraid of being blown away by strong winds and is quite stable.
Gary and others lit a fire inside the barrier and sat around eating the black bread and dried meat they had brought.
"Melisandre, wait until tomorrow morning, you will escort Bran and the others back to Castle Black. I, Val, and Mag will continue to search for Giants."
While Bran was eating, he kept peeking at Mag and Hodor curiously.
Because when they were still living in Winterfell, many people said that Hodor had the blood of Giants. Now it seems that it is nonsense. This Giants is almost twice older than Hodor!
Melisandre has lost the ability to see predictions from Flame, but her Mana has been greatly enhanced, and she can no longer borrow powder and can cast large-scale Magic.
"Your Majesty, please be careful, White Walkers is coming."
Gary followed her gaze and looked to the north, "I know. Before Night's King finds Three-Eyed Crow and a way to break through Wall, we still have plenty of time to prepare."
After one night, the wind and snow gradually subsided.
Gary and Melisandre are divided into two groups. One group returns to Castle Black in the east, and the other group heads to Milkwater in the west.
It snowed heavily all night north of Wall. The snow on the ground was at least a foot thick and could easily cover a horse's calves.
The war horse could not run in the snow and walked very slowly.
Milkwater, nearby valley.
It took another whole day for Gary and others to arrive near the valley where Giants was.
If Gary rode a dragon, he could reach the valley in less than half a day. Unfortunately, Drogon couldn't carry Mag, so it was useless for him to reach the valley alone.
Gary previously drove the Giantss to the Milkwater shore. Then a few days later, the Giantss were no longer on the river bank.
They came to a nearby valley to escape the wind and snow.
As for why Gary knew the exact location of Giants, it was because he secretly placed ice cores on the bodies of more than thirty Giants cavalry, allowing him to sense the location of Giants.
Gary and the others climbed over a steep slope and found Giants in a large semi-enclosed cave, taking shelter from the wind and snow.
But when Gary saw the Giantss, he frowned, "Why are there only forty or so Giantss left? There used to be more than one hundred and twenty Giantss. Where have they gone?"
The thirty-odd Giants cavalry who were marked by him are all there, but most of the ordinary Giants have disappeared, leaving less than ten people.
"Margo? Margo!"
"It's Margo!"
"You're not dead! Mag!"
"Margo is back!"
Mag's arrival caused bursts of cheers from the Giantss.
Giants's IQs are not high. They are generally as simple as children and do not have as many complex thoughts as humans.
Mag asked several of her men, "Where are the others?"
A Giants cavalryman said very unhappy, "They are all cowards! They said you were dead and they didn't want to look for Free Folk anymore, so they all left and went back to Beyond the Wall."
Another Giants cavalry said, "Only us warriors are left, planning to find Free Folk."
These Giantss who can obtain mammoths and become Giants cavalry must be stronger and braver than ordinary Giantss.
Mag introduced Gary to them, "We don't need Free Folk. This is King the North, our master. He will give us land so that we can live north of Wall."
A Giants cavalryman recognized Gary's plate armor, "Are you a human riding a dragon? It's you who drove us here!"
However, Gary has never killed a Giants, so Giantss do not have too strong hostility towards him.
"No, I am not your master. You are not servants, but my vassals, just like... your relationship with Maggo. You and Maggo obey my orders, and I will give you a fertile land."
Gary saw that some Giants were resistant to the word "master" and opened his mouth to explain.
One of the Giants cavalrymen pretended to understand, "If you say that, I understand. We fight for you, and you give us land, just like our relationship with Free Folk."
"It's different. You and Wildlings are in an alliance and are allies. You and I are in a loyal relationship and are subordinates."
Gary explained patiently. This is very important and must be explained clearly, otherwise there will definitely be trouble in the future.
Giantss looked at each other and scratched their heads in distress, "It's so complicated. Please make it simpler."
Gary said for a while, "It's very simple. After you enter the south of Wall, you will live in my kingdom, and you must obey my orders. Whatever I ask you to do, you will do it. You must not do anything I am not allowed to do."
"Isn't that just a slave?" Several Giants were unhappy and did not want to leave with Gary.
