Chapter 30 Rapid March

The Chief Ranger sullenly ordered everyone to lead the remaining horses closer to the tent Here, Igor and Yoren set up traps and alarms to block the sneak attack among the surrounding trees, and then arranged the night watchmen before the group moved freely and started to solve the problem of dinner again.

......

"What I said just now, you are still like a philosopher for a while, but in a blink of an eye you are a real Warrior." There is not much left in the pot Broth, Tyrion is in shock. He was guarded by Igor at the first moment of the attack, and now his feelings about the Night's Watch are more complicated: "I didn't believe that the Night's Watch was the most elite unit of the Seven Kingdoms, and now I'm starting to doubt you a little bit. He did kill Others."

After a battle with wildling, any troops would look like the most elite troops in Seven Kingdoms, Igor laughed in his heart, but of course he couldn't destroy oneself's prestige: "Uh, many thanks, but I didn't deceive you in the first place."

"Call me Tyrion, I owe you a favor." Dwarf said, "I will try my best to do what we agreed on before. It came true."

"Then thank you in advance, Tyrion is big...cough." Igor coughed, forcing oneself to abide by the names and etiquette that Westeros' hierarchy should have before, and now let him Back to normal, but some can't turn around.

＊＊＊

Everything starts fast and ends fast, Igor doesn't know what role oneself played in the battle just now in Tyrion's eyes, but oneself knows in his heart. : He didn't do anything great.

The brave and powerful wildling men have gathered under Mance at this moment, and are stationed in the peak of Frostfangs to discuss ways to deal with the Others. Soldiers, as long as they aren't bad enough to be hit by the initial rain of arrows, are impossible to lose the battle. The formation and confrontation with the wildling in just a few minutes to launching a charge to drive away the enemy is just to obey the command of the chief ranger and execute it quickly. It is impossible for any other ranger to do a bad job.

It was only his intention to keep Tyrion behind him, but it was purely out of consideration for oneself to leave Wall. Even if he doesn't do that, wildling's sporadic rain of arrows with no star power is unlikely to threaten dwarf... Maybe, this subconsciously moved Lannister?

He had no reason to reveal his secrets. Tyrion probably saw the real battle for the first time. Under his tension, he imagined the person who drew his sword to protect him to be braver and stronger than he actually was.

Excusable, this wrong impression is not caused by him deliberately, but it doesn't seem to be harmful to oneself, so there is no need to explain.

＊＊＊

"How could wildling be here?" Jon killed an enemy himself for the first time in his life, the guilt mixed with the hormonal stimulation made him flush, He couldn't calm down for a long time: "I'm in Winterfell, and I rarely hear such news."

"Actually, it hasn't happened for a long time. It's a dangerous thing to climb over the Wall." Igor was a little heavy. He explained, "If it's just survival, the rich resources in Wolfswood are definitely enough to feed the wildlings... But the group of wildlings should want to run further south, looking for a place to spend the winter and hide from the Others. But there is no means of transportation and no food at all. It's impossible to escape the patrols of the North princes and stick to The Neck, so you can only risk attacking us. Even if we don't catch us, the nearest village farmers will suffer."

"Others." Lannister Guard The timid one in the middle of the group shuddered, "Isn't that a ghost from a legend, does it really exist?"

If they were in normally, they naturally wouldn't believe in "nonsense" such as Others. "But at this moment, I have just fought back a wave of sneak attacks in the dark, when my thinking ability and reason are relatively weak, and the trees in the distance are swaying under the cold wind, making the surrounding shadows seem to be full of something. Staring at them secretly, the few people who listened to Igor's words became nervous as they had one's hair stand on end.

"Don't worry, this guy in front of you can kill one." Jon said excitedly, some proud that oneself knew the Others killer before anyone else, "If that shit really comes out...

...Igor, your obsidian dagger is still there."

"It's there, don't worry, don't say Others can't pass the Wall, even if I can, I'll kill one by one." Igor smiled and patted Oneself's bag, blowing it up.

……

Although he is full of confidence on the face, Igor can’t relax in his heart: at this moment, the north of Wall may have turned into a Hell on earth, and there are no small shares anymore. wildling is still alive. Except for the 100,000 who gathered together to keep warm, the rest either crossed the Wall and escaped into the North through the Gorge, or had become part of the Legion of the ghouls. Although he made up his mind to leave Wall to avoid the confrontation with this group of things, but at the moment he is part of the human race in this world after all... In case Wall is attacked by the breakthrough Seven Kingdoms, he is a person who has no relatives and no reason behind and no major forces behind him. Transmigrators, even if they wanted to escape to another continent, it would be difficult to find a way.

Everyone finished the dinner interrupted by wildling without incident, still without any sleepiness, sitting and chatting for a while, Benjen came out from the tent and walked in front of the crowd: "Stop chatting, come early. Sleep. We can still find the remaining walls to support the camp here. Further north is a no-man’s land. If we go at the speed of the previous two days, we still have to travel for three days and spend two nights in the wild. This is too much. It's dangerous, after thinking about it again and again, I decided to start the march at dawn tomorrow, don't camp at night, squeeze the horsepower, and strive for one day one night to Castle Black."

Everyone agreed, Igor knew that the plot had already Subtle changes began to take place. This attack outside the original story is the biggest manifestation. Whether its occurrence was caused by the "butterfly" of oneself is unknown: maybe the existence of oneself changed the entire group's return to Wall's itinerary, maybe It was this wave of wildlings that would have been killed by the others that oneself killed... In short, the direction of the plot has indeed changed, and an accident can come a second time. Although wildling's battle strength is not terrifying, it is The arrows shot by the thrown stones can still kill people.

"Then go to sleep first, Jyck and I are on duty in the first half of the night." Igor stood up, "Let's put things away, let's clean up."

Everyone acted as they said. , the camp was soon empty and there were no more people left, and Tyrion patted Igor before leaving: "Then, you two be careful."

＊＊＊

Nothing happened in the first half of the night , and in the second half of the night, it was Jon and Morris's turn to be on duty, and nothing happened all night. When the sun on the second day rose, everyone got up early, packed up the tents and luggage, put them on the horses, put on the saddles, and set off to continue north.

The weather has gotten worse, and surface temperatures have finally dropped below freezing, which means falling snow has been able to build up on the ground. Rapid marching is commonplace for the Rangers, especially Igor, who had only experienced the ten-day escape not long ago... But the rest of the team has no such stamina. At the end of the journey, Tyrion and the two Lannister guards lost consciousness in their butts. They entered the Castle Black gate and descended from the horse to the ground, their legs trembling as if they had forgotten how to walk.
