- Chapter 337: Continuous Abnormalities
Benly had many impressions of the White Walkers in his previous life: they could not speak, were blue in color, had great javelin throwing skills, but were just sending people to their deaths.
During the 18 years he lived in Westeros, he had not ignored this existence due to some things that were destined to happen in his memory. However, there was not much information about the White Walkers in this world. They were often just some legends, and their images were vague and as old and unreliable as gay novels.
So overall, Renly’s impression of the White Walkers was mainly from his previous life. Therefore, he believed that the time when the White Walkers appeared would be connected to the timeline of the original plot, but according to the current date, it was obviously not yet time. But he did not expect that this existence would suddenly explode, which was simply unprepared –
Yes, it was an explosion.
The news from the north claimed that a large number of wildlings outside the Wall of Despair began to swarm towards the Wall, and behind them, there were many dead bodies chasing them. Now the Night’s Watch stationed in the Wall are hesitant because of this matter, and they are not sure whether to let the fleeing wildlings enter the Wall or let them die.
Obviously, unlike the White Walkers in the original book who were sneaky until the later period and were discovered by the world, the White Walkers now are more “arrogant” in their actions, or more exposed.
The source of the news is not Renly’s intelligence system. Most of the intelligence personnel he trained are concentrated in the River Bay and King’s Landing. Other places are out of reach, but not unreachable.
At least, the Ancient Alliance, which is considered an ally, is a source of intelligence in a sense.
And the one who brought this news was the female Maegor who had not been seen for a long time.
Renly had learned before that these ancient people had infiltrated the Night’s Watch at the Great Wall, so he was not surprised that they knew about this, and he did not think that this kind of thing could be false.
At the same time, Renly thought that since he knew about this, the nominal power center of Westeros would not be concealed.
What kind of situation will this incident trigger?
It is still unclear at present. After all, many situations in the memories of the previous life are completely inconsistent with the present, and there is no room for the original plot to unfold. The dragon that can break the Great Wall in the memory is nowhere to be seen.
If no one sends the dragon, even if the White Walkers explode violently, it seems impossible to break the Great Wall? Or is it the same as many situations, the characteristics in the memory are different from those in reality, and the monster now has other abilities to break the Great Wall? For example, bypassing the huge Great Wall lying horizontally in the north and infiltrating from the sea?
This is a worrying thing, but after thinking about it, Renly thinks that this can also be something he can use.
So he did not choose to confront the King’s Landing, but wrote a long letter.
The letter carefully described the horror of the existence of the White Walkers, and claimed that he had to prepare for it and had no time to consider secular power, so he returned directly to the territory of Dragonstone after returning from the battlefield and did not plan to go to King’s Landing again, but at the same time he asked the King’s Landing to send his brother’s body to Dragonstone, and the settlement of the Iron Islands in the Three Forks River must be approved immediately.
The tone of this letter is very tough, and there is also a hint of hostility and resentment, but it is not the kind of wording of life and death. After reading this letter, the two guys in King’s Landing who had a guilty conscience were confused.
“Did he find out what we did?” In the quiet study, the blond James, wearing a thin linen pajamas, muttered to himself while holding the letter.
“Maybe he found something, but he doesn’t know the details. Maybe he doesn’t know anything at all, but we are too cautious.” The beautiful queen beside him also frowned and pondered, and her brows gradually relaxed. “If he didn’t know about the two of us, then he wouldn’t think that we would kill his brother. On the surface, we have no reason to do this… That’s right, we have no reason to do that, how could he doubt us?!”
Cersei’s tone was already unable to conceal a sense of joy at the end, but Jaime, who was much more mature than before, still frowned, “Then why didn’t he enter the city?”
“Who told you to arrange it so tightly?”
Cersei glanced at her brother and complained, “King’s Landing is now so defensive that even a fool can see that it’s abnormal. We have also released news that he has ambitions to seize power.”
After that, she chuckled before Jaime responded.
“It seems that he is not as powerful as imagined, otherwise he wouldn’t be afraid to come in.”
Is that so?
Jaime hesitated when he heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
That man has been giving him too much pressure. Now that he finds out that he is not so omnipotent and is afraid of them, he is suspicious. This seems unreasonable.
He raised his lips in self-mockery and said, “What should we do? Promise him?”
“Of course we have to agree.”
Cersei stood up, stretched her tall body, and said in a relaxed tone, “That man didn’t ask us to release Stannis. He just wants a rotten corpse. What’s the big deal? The riverlands have been destroyed. If he wants the Iron Islands to go in, let them go. With the Tullys, it won’t affect us. If what is said in this letter is true, it would be a good thing to let the Ironmen get involved. As long as Joff takes the throne firmly-“
Speaking of this, Cersei suddenly frowned, and then began to consider the main content of the letter.
“You said he was so cautious, that White Walker…”
“It is said that the reason why Brandon the Builder built the Great Wall was because of the White Walkers.” Jaime shrugged, “I don’t think there is any need to worry about this. The Great Wall is there, it won’t collapse suddenly, right? And since that person said he would find a way to solve this problem, it is not our turn to worry about it.”
“That’s right.” Cersei was relieved after hearing this.
…
No one outside knew about the conversation between the siblings, but the decision they made could make Renly achieve his wish. Whether he was really guided by the letter, or hoped that Renly would not discover the truth, or any other idea, after the letter, the rotten corpse that was sealed in the sarcophagus not long ago was secretly transported to Dragonstone.
At the same time, the issue of the Iron Islands also obtained the consent of the Iron Throne, and no one delved into the fact that Renly would not enter King’s Landing.
Although Stannis is still trapped in the Red Keep, as long as Renly himself does not make any unusual moves, Stannis will obviously not be troubled.
Relatively speaking, the request to release Stannis is a very sensitive issue, because Stannis controls the royal fleet and is also the Duke of Stormland. Such an important bargaining chip cannot be given up casually.
However, after Renly returned to Dragonstone, many lords of Stormland and some fleet sailors secretly came to contact him, hoping that Renly could take the lead to rescue Stannis and find out the truth about Robert’s assassination.
Renly did plan to do so at first. The purpose of the letter was to retreat in order to advance, or to turn from passive to active. He wanted to temporarily paralyze the enemy and then act secretly.
Unfortunately, this idea had to be temporarily abandoned before it could be implemented, because another shocking news came from the north-
The Wall of Despair that separated the North and the Land of Eternal Winter collapsed!
