Chapter 296 It's Not Enough Just Knowing
The horn sounded and kept passing it out. Zhao Mai pricked up his ears and listened, and found that the cavalry began to gather at his place while stepping on the messy horse hooves. The infantry still formed a front line and kept confronting the savages in the forest line.
More and more people were pouring out of the forest, not only knights, but also free riders, archers and ordinary soldiers wearing short vests and round helmets, the number was ten or hundreds. Bright flags were flying above their heads, and the wind blew open the flags, with all kinds of patterns and heralds on them. Perhaps the bachelor could see it clearly. Zhao Mai was dazzled anyway, and basically didn't know anyone.
The largest flag is of course Stannis Baratheon. Zhao Mai recognized it as big as a bed sheet, with a yellow base on one side outlined a burning red heart; the other side is like gold foil, embroidered with a black crowned stag.
Stannis's face was firm and cold, as others described him: like a piece of pig iron. He sat straight on the horse's back, and his chest had been war-prone with a stag wearing a crown, and his long sword was pressed against his thighs. However, Zhao Mai stood on the transparent staircase created by his supernatural powers, just taller than him. In order to avoid the dilemma of being looked down upon on the horse, he decided to turn over and dismount and stop with many knights in front of the obstacles formed by thorns. Standing at least mentally better.
Zhao Mai took a deep breath, dissolved his spells, and made the thorny land reappear in its original posture, but it was softer, wet, and more vital. He walked down and stood in front of Stannis.
"Are you the king of the Great Wall?" Stannis asked.
"Oh, no. That guy is called Mance Red, and as you habit, my name is Mike Zhao."
"You know I'm Stannis Baratheon?"
Zhao Mai nodded. Stannis' Prime Minister Shiworth stood up and said, "King Stannis Baratheon, the only true king of the seven kingdoms, the Andals, the king of the Roynas and ancestors, the ruler of the seven kingdoms and the guardian of the whole territory." He paused and said, "Often, when you see the king, you should kneel down."
"Thank you, Sir Onion, if you want to treat your fingers one day, you can come to me." Zhao Mai said: "I am not an Andal, Loyna or an ancestor, and I am not a person from anywhere in the Seven Kingdoms, so even if you are a king, you are not mine. I will respect you, but I will not kneel down."
"What surname is Zhao?" Stannis decided to bypass the question of kneeling, so he asked.
"The country I belong to is very powerful, with an area of 9.6 million square kilometers and a population of nearly 1.4 billion. According to the surnames of our country (hundred families), Zhao ranks first."
"Royal?"
"The ancestors are indeed..." Zhao Mai decided to continue to fool. In the information, Stannis was a very rigid person, treating rules as something more important than life, and an excellent general who sets an example. He was undoubtedly confident in his ownership of the throne and did not allow any objection, because it would be a deception and lies, a despicable and untrustful villain. If Zhao Mai said that he was just a civilian, then what he said would be greatly reduced even if it was correct. It would be better to pull the tiger's skin as a banner. Besides, the Song Dynasty's surname was indeed Zhao...
"As a descendant of the royal family, why do you fight for the savages outside the Great Wall?"
"No, I am not fighting for them, but stopping your massacre of them." Zhao Mai said: "I accompanied the Night Watchers here to negotiate with the Savages. There has just been a big battle between them. Before the battlefield has been cleaned up, you will definitely see it in a while. The Night Watchers and the Savages have a common enemy. In order to fight this enemy, both sides are willing to stop fighting."
Sir Sheews asked, "How is this possible for Night Watch and the Savage to discuss peace? Who are you talking about the common enemy?" He was a little nervous. After all, they were divided into groups and they were third parties other than the Savage and the Night Watch.
"Don't worry, it's not His Majesty Stannis Baratheon, but the White Walkers in the North, the ice creature with blue eyes and pale bodies." Zhao Mai looked at the girl in red robe and said, "I believe Ms. Melisandra should have seen them from the fire."
Because she was hurt in the magic battle, Melisandra's complexion did not look very good, but this did not affect her beauty at all. Although she was in the snow and ice in the north, she was still wearing a low-cut single skirt and stood barefoot on the ice. It is said that her body always emits a warm heat, which makes her not afraid of the influence of the weather or the invasion of the cold and heat.
"No, I didn't see the White Walkers you mentioned, but only saw countless savages attacking the Great Wall of Desperate and knocking down this great miracle. All the creatures in the seven kingdoms were in a mess." Melisandra said: "The savages must be stopped."
"Prophecy is a good ability, but it often misleads people." Zhao Mai said: "But it doesn't matter. The attack of the savages has been stopped, so you don't have to fight anymore. I think His Majesty Stannis should be more interested in the Iron Throne of King's Landing, and will not waste any soldiers or soldiers at will?"
Stannis nodded and said to Davos Seaworth: "Let the soldiers gather together in a defensive formation, and there is no unnecessary conflict for the time being. Tell the Night Watcher and let us pass through the Great Wall."
"Thank you very much," Zhao Mai said: "I can bring Mance Red and Jon Snow over if you want."
Stannis nodded: "I'm waiting for them here."
Zhao Mai nodded, reached out to grab it in the air, and condensed into a snow-cold pigeon. He whispered a few words to the pigeon and passed the information to Jon and Mans.
Stannis glanced at the Fire God Priest Melisandra, and then spoke to Zhao Mai, "Which god do you believe in?"
"Oh, I don't believe in any gods." Zhao Mai scratched his head. This was the first time he thought about this question carefully: "I think the laws of the world are hidden behind natural phenomena. pursuing and exploring these laws is the innate instincts of living things and the highest pursuit of souls. Well, actually I don't know what I'm talking about, maybe I will know it in the future."
"You should believe in my God Rahlo, bring light and warmth to the world and dispel the cold night." Melisandra's voice sounded, touching. She walked up slowly, and the ruby necklace on her chest emitted a beautiful light. "People walk in the world with questions and suspicion. Be careful at this time, after all, the night is dark and dangerous everywhere!"
"No, thank you, Rahlo's teachings are too simple." Zhao Mai said: "The King of Light, right? Fighting the Cold God with flames and light. But look..." Zhao Mai waved his hand and drew out a long sword of flames out of thin air.
"My million, don't think I am the reincarnation of Asor Ahai, because I can still do this." Zhao Mai let out a breath in his empty hand and condensed a White Walker's ice crystal sword. "Ice and fire, ice and fire, ice in fire or fire in ice can actually be done."
