Castle Black.
A few little guys were anxiously waiting for everyone to return.
They also wanted to go to the north of Wall for search and rescue, but unfortunately Jon and others were unwilling to take them with them.
Hundreds of Night's Watch from Castle Black were nearby, discussing the newly arrived Children of the Forest. They didn't dare to speak harshly, but their attitude was not friendly either.
Melisandre and Wa'er were standing on the wooden steps, and they were also observing the Children of the Forests at the entrance of the tunnel.
Wa'er returned to her room early yesterday and did not see Children of the Forest entering the city. She only saw the five green figures when she went down to the tower to have dinner in the morning.
"Master Priest, was it you who received Children of the Forest last night?"
Melisandre glanced at Wa'er, nodded and said, "Well, Night's Watch are all afraid of them. No one dares to approach them, and they don't want to let them in. It was the two ladies Margaery and Daenerys who asked me to mediate, and Children of the Forest entered the city smoothly."
Val understands Night's Watch's thoughts very well. When facing this kind of ancient creature that only knows its name but does not know its roots, it is better to keep a distance.
She curiously asked Melisandre, "Aren't you afraid, the priest?"
Melisandre knows some inside information, so of course she will not be afraid of Children of the Forest, "They are His Majesty Luke's relatives, why should I be afraid of them?"
"The North King's relative?!"
Wa Er feels that Gary is even more mysterious. Not only does he possess Dragon, he is also Magic, or is he a relative of Children of the Forest?
The entrance to the tunnel.
Shireen and Devan are sitting on a wooden pier aside. In front of them are five Children of the Forest and Bran·Stark.
And a little girl with short ear-length hair, wearing brown leather armor, and carrying a long gun.
As early as a few days ago, Arya and Sandor arrived at Castle Black.
At that time, Jon had just received the army of Wildlings and returned to Castle Black, waiting for the return of Gary. Unexpectedly, he did not wait for Gary, but got an unexpected surprise.
The three Stark did not meet again at Winterfell. Instead, they met at Castle Black because of Gary. They told each other about their experiences in the past few years, asked about everyone's current situation, and discussed Gary's many feats.
Two little Stark found new partners in Winterfell, Shireen and Devan. The four of them often played together. They would go outside the city to see Giants, and would also go to the King's Tower to peek at the most beautiful Wildlings Val and the mysterious female Wizard.
They seemed to have returned to the happy time of Winterfell, growing up carefree and laughing happily every day.
Until last night, Margaery and Daenerys led Children of the Forest back to Castle Black, Drogon returned to the King's Tower alone, and the bad news of Gary's distress reached the ears of the three Stark.
The happy atmosphere was broken instantly.
Back to the present, four children and five Children of the Forest are guarding the entrance of the tunnel, looking forward to everyone's return.
A few hours later, it was noon.
The wooden doors on both sides of the tunnel rose at the same time. Gary and others walked at the front of the army and slowly entered the tunnel.
"Luke!"
Arya screamed loudly and ran into the tunnel quickly.
Gary was stunned for a moment, then he bent down overjoyed and carried Arya onto his horse, so that the army could continue to move forward.
"Arya? Why are you here? Why didn't you reply to Winterfell?"
Arya put a scent on the side of Gary's face, "Luke, I miss you so much!"
Gary pinched Arya's face, smiled and cursed, "No matter how big or small, you can kiss the king's face casually? Answer me first, why don't you reply Winterfell?"
Arya retorted confidently, "I went back, but you and Jon are not here, so I came to find you."
Gary couldn't help but frown, and the pinching force gradually became stronger, "You are a ten-year-old kid, how can you be so courageous? I don't know that there is a chaos of war outside, and any soldier and bandit can kill you!"
Maybe, he will be humiliated before he dies. Just thinking about this makes Gary feel scared.
Arya cried out in pain, "It hurts! I have escorts accompanying me!"
The accompanying escort? Could it be the the North soldiers sent by Septa Hanna to Arya? No, it is impossible for Septa Hanna to allow Arya to put himself in danger.
That is, there is only one possibility. Sandor, who wanted ransom, did not leave. He escorted Arya to Castle Black.
Gary let go of his hand, "Stay at Castle Black and don't run around. In a few days, you and Bran will return to Winterfell with me."
Arya covered his pinched red face and hesitated. "I know. My face hurts so much and my heart is so cruel."
Gary touched her head and comforted, "The North is not safe either. You can only make me feel at ease if you stay with Winterfell."
When they came out of the tunnel, they rode to the side and made way for the army to pass.
Davos and Wildlings Tormund and others led the cavalry troops and the Wildlings army through Castle Black and returned to the station outside the city.
Gary put Arya down and asked her and Bran to take care of the new Children of the Forests. He himself and Jon returned to the study in the King's Tower to discuss the issue of Wildlings.
Jon first reported the results of this alliance trip, "There are 20,000 Wildlings in Haunted Forest. They are divided into three large tribes, located in the three directions of Haunted Forest. After lobbying by me and Wa, only 10,000 Wildlings are willing to accept the alliance. The other more than 10,000 Wildlings still remain deep in the forest."
He felt that he could still work hard, "After a while, I have settled this batch of 10,000 Wildlings, and I will be able to win over them through them..."
"No need."
Gary interrupted him, "Those Wildlings won't survive tonight, because I saw Night's King and White Walkers in Haunted Forest."
Jon clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and asked, "They are already here?"
"No, we still have two to three years, White Walkers is still looking for a way to break through Wall." Gary told Jon to relax, things have not yet reached the worst point.
Jon remembered what Tormund and Val said, "The batch of Wildlings who returned to Beyond the Wall are probably in bad luck. The only Wildlings that can still be fought for now are the Wildlings from Fort Difficulty."
Gary advised, "I think you should give up contacting Wildlings in Hardfort. There are now ten thousand Wildlings south of Wall, and there are only four thousand young and strong among them. This number is already very large. Do you really have the ability to feed them?"
He sighed and said helplessly, "Now the North are completely short of food, and I have no spare capacity to support you. Ten thousand Wildlings can only survive by hunting? If you bring in more Wildlings, how will two or thirty thousand people survive? Sooner or later, they will break out of famine and cause riots."
Jon hesitated to speak. He really wanted to recruit all the forces that could form an alliance to fight against White Walkers. But Gary was right. If there were too many Wildlings south of Wall, it would definitely cause turmoil.
My grades are not very good, just keep persevering. Thank you bosses for accompanying me all the way. Thank you!
