Chapter 266 Allied Forces

And as commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch.

Jeor Mormont was now sitting in a farther side seat, his seat had been taken by King Robert.

And now there are two dukes and several earls in front of him, but old Mormont was also the earl of Bear Island before he joined the Night's Watch. In addition, as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, there is still a chair to sit here.

He sat beside Stark, the former Duke of Winterfell, and across from him was King Robert's eldest brother, Stannis Baratheon, Duke of Dragonstone.

His shoulders are broad, his body is tall and straight, and his skin has become a little deep and hard as iron due to long-term exposure.

Although Stannis is not very old now, about the same age as Jon Clinton, but some of them are prematurely aging, and only a row of fine black hair is left on the top of his head, like the shadow of a crown.

His face was resolute, his eyes were deep, his lips were pale, thin and taut, and he sat beside his brother Robert, watching the savage emissary who was driven away again, with a stern smile and a hint of something on his face. Thoughtful look.

"You should really treat these lawless savages with a high-pressure attitude, otherwise who knows what kind of chaos it will cause after letting them enter the Great Wall."

Stannis said stiffly.

Like Robert and Ed, he was terribly sick of these wildlings who were called 'freemen' because their freedom was based on the suffering of others.

They do not engage in production, but like to plunder, they call such behavior 'freedom'? He even mocked the people of the Seven Kingdoms who were diligently and honestly supporting themselves and their families as "people who kneel down".

If according to Stannis's temper, these people are not even qualified to wear black, they should freeze to death in the cold wind outside the Wall, or be killed by those terrifying White Walkers.

Although the brothers Robert and Stannis often disagree on many things, it is rare for Stannis to not quarrel with his brother on this one.

but

Another point.

"Is this Horn of Winter really something that doesn't exist?"

Stannis looked up and asked, still a little worried.

He heard the savage's messenger speak eloquently, and what he said had a nose and eyes, it seemed that there was such a thing, and he also had some incomprehensible details.

"Hmph, the Great Wall built by Brandon, the builder, worked so hard, why did he keep such an artifact that can destroy the Great Wall?"

And Robert, who was sitting in the main seat, took another sip of the wine from the glass, his face was rosy, and he waved his hands in disapproval.

"If there is such a thing, why didn't the savages blow earlier? They don't have to continue to suffer in such a bitter cold place when the Great Wall collapses."

Robert's words are well-founded.

And Stannis just shook his head when he heard the words, he just had a little doubt, now it seems that maybe the wild people are really sick and trying to scare them.

And at this time.

Sitting at the back of the conference hall, Aemon, the night watchman, stood up tremblingly and said.

"Winter Horn. Not something that doesn't exist."

"My lords and... Your Majesty."

The old man had some bald and messy white hair, a pair of white blind eyes, and a hoarse voice.

Although Aemon faced the enemy who destroyed his family, he was still able to deal with it calmly, even calling him 'Your Majesty'.

And Eddard, who was sitting beside King Robert, raised his head when he saw Maester Aemon suddenly speak, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He was one of the few people who knew Maester Aemon's true identity, but he wasn't worried that Robert would kill the nearly 100-year-old old man.

Robert should not be such a person.

Maester Aemon is Robert's after all.

Great grandfather?

I don't know why Eddie suddenly lost his confidence in the end, the relationship was too complicated, and he didn't know what Robert should call such an old man for a while.

But he thought of the mother and son who died tragically in King's Landing, and suddenly he didn't seem to trust his good brother so much.

He even had a big quarrel with Robert at that time, and then left King's Landing alone to break the siege of Storm's End, and went to Dorne to bring back his sister's body.

"Oh?"

And Aemon Master suddenly spoke, naturally attracting the attention of everyone present.

This time King Robert led a coalition of nobles from the Seven Kingdoms, not just Stannis and Eddard Stark.

There is also Jon Royce, the Earl of Runestone City from the valley, who leads the army of the valley.

The Earl of the Golden Tooth City in the Western Region, Lord Leford, led the army in the Western Region.

Tywin Lannister's own brothers were all dead, and he didn't want to come to the frozen Great Wall, so he could only hand it over to a moderately capable Earl of Golden Tooth City to lead the troops.

Also 'Sir Blackfish' Brynden Tully of the Riverlands, Dorne, Reach, Stormlands, etc. Except for the Iron Islands.

However, Dorne has the fewest people, only three hundred people. It doesn't look like they are here to fight, but more like a sightseeing tour at the end of the world.

Now everyone's eyes are on the white-haired old man.

They did not know the identity of the other Targaryen, and the once silver hair had now turned pale.

"Who is this"

Yon Royce, the Earl of Runestone City, said with a puzzled face.

He didn't know the old man, but he seemed to be a night watchman, and the night watchman who could sit here was naturally extraordinary, and the other party was really old. Count Jon asked in a more polite tone. road.

"This is Maester Aemon of the Night's Watch."

At this moment, old Mormont, commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, cleared the siege for Maester Aemon and explained.

"Maester Aemon has served in the Great Wall for decades, and he is ninety-three years old this year."

"He is knowledgeable and has rummaged through almost every book left by the Night's Watch."

Many of the precious books left by the Legion of the Night's Watch in the past are the only copies not included in the Academy, so Maester Aemon often writes letters to the Academy to exchange some questions.

"Oh, it was Maester Aemon."

Hearing that the old man in front of him was already ninety-three years old, everyone present showed a shocked expression.

This age is almost a living fossil, and they have never heard of anyone living such an old age.

No matter how beautiful or powerful you are when you are young, but in the end you find that living long is the truth.

Earl Leford also showed a shocked expression, and then asked.

"That old man."

"You just said that the Horn of Winter is not something that does not exist. What does that mean?"
