Chapter 82: The Horn of Winter and Prince Thurn's Surrender
Facing the confused, vigilant or angry eyes of many Night's Watchmen, Mance Rayder said leisurely: "The long night is coming, and the White Walkers are following closely behind..."
"What are you going to do, Mance? Say it!"
Steward Denys was about to draw his sword and put it to Mance Rayder's neck to torture him.
However, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, Lyon, was faster than him. He got to Mance Rayder's front one step ahead, easily saw through Mance Rayder's little trick, grabbed his arm from behind, and snatched the object in his hand.
"Mance Rayder, what is this?" Leon asked, his voice full of doubt and vigilance. Mance Rayder was tough for a while, his eyes flashing with an unyielding light, and then he slowly said: "This is an ordinary horn. Blow it and the free people nearby will come to support."
Leon held the horn in his hand. It was made of an unknown black metal with a rough surface, but it exuded a mysterious power.
He looked at the horn, as if he could feel a strong call from it, a call that came from the deep unknown, full of wildness and freedom.
"Defeat or kill Mance Rayder, the mission is completed, and you will receive the Free Folk Horn. After equipping, the Free Folk's surrender rate will be increased by 50%. New mission..."
After getting the horn, suddenly, the long-lost voice of the Thousand-Faced God System came to Leon's ears.
At the same time, after seeing Leon seize the Freeman's Horn, the giant, 'Strong Gema', who had already expressed his submission, suddenly spoke up: "The giants only respect the strong. If the commander-in-chief is willing to let me and my people go south for refuge, the giants are willing to submit to you forever."
Although the giant's voice was rough, his tone was civilized. Despite this, it still shocked the people on the night watch.
They were surprised to find that this was the first time they heard magical creatures like giants speak such normal words in addition to roaring.
Although the giants' loyalty was only to Lyon and not to the entire Night's Watch, they did not care.
Even though Prince Olaf the Berserker fell to the ground and was only gasping for breath, he still struggled to get up.
He imitated the giant's behavior and knelt on one knee towards Leon. Although he was still stubborn and refused to express his submission in words, his posture had clearly conveyed this point.
Half of the remaining wild men present were Olaf's men. When they saw that their chief had surrendered, they naturally had no reason to continue fighting. They dropped their axes one after another, and all the wild men fell to their knees at once.
Even Mance Rayder, who had seen a lot of storms, found it difficult to understand the wildlings' choice. He had had the horn for a long time, but there were still many wildlings who were dissatisfied with him. Why did Lyon have such a miraculous effect after getting it?
"Could you please explain in detail how you intend to use this to threaten us?"
Just as Mance Rayder was lost in shock, Lyon asked.
But before Mance Rayder could answer, he heard Lyon asking himself, "The original name of this thing should not be the Free Folk's Horn. Maybe the Horn of Winter is its real name."
Lyon's sharp words made Mance Rayder's heart beat faster, and it was obvious that what Lyon said was true.
"As for its function," Leon suddenly put the horn to his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and was about to blow it hard.
"No!" Mance Rayder exclaimed, his eyes full of horror. He tried to stop it, but it was too late.
However, it was obvious that Lyon was just bluffing. He smiled easily and then put down the horn.
"What will happen if the whistle is blown? Will it really blow down the Great Wall of Despair as described in the legend?"
There was a hint of frivolity in Lyon's words, but Mance Rayder was obviously frightened by the question and was speechless for a moment.
His attitude clearly acknowledged this fact.
After hearing the legend, Mance Rayder spent nearly five years traveling throughout the Land of Eternal Winter to find the horn, but he only wanted to use it to intimidate the Night's Watch and never thought of blowing it himself.
Once the whistle is blown, the White Walkers will no longer be blocked by the magical barrier of the Wall and will be able to easily move south. The blame for destroying the world will then be borne by Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall.
Seeing that he could not defeat them and the only leverage he had over the Night's Watch fell into Lyon's hands, Mance Rayder said helplessly: "Now, even though all the men I brought with me have surrendered to you without my permission, there are still 100,000 wildlings holding out in Hardhome. Without me to lead them, the White Walkers will devour them all, leaving no trace. By then, you will have to face a huge White Walker army composed of these 100,000 wildlings."
However, after listening to Mance Rayder's moral blackmail or threat, Lyon laughed out loud, and then he looked at Mance Rayder as if he was a fool.
"Mance, let me ask you, how many free folk lived north of the Wall before?"
Leon's question was obviously beyond Mance Rayder's expectations, but the latter gave an answer after a moment's thought: "There are more than ninety tribes living north of the Wall. Together with those who fled south and those who died recently, there are probably hundreds of thousands of free people."
"Then what about the Night's Watchmen who have lived and multiplied on this land or died in battle on this land over the past few hundred years? The reason why I don't mention those who died in the past is that their bones should have turned into powder long ago, and dust has returned to dust."
"Large... probably millions of people." After hearing Leon's question, Mance Rayder naturally understood the profound meaning of Leon's words.
"Yes, millions of dead, even if there are a hundred thousand savages, what harm will that do to us?"
"You!" Although Mance Rayder was prepared, he was still shocked by Leon's cold and ruthless words, causing him to stand up from the ground in horror.
Many wildlings who had just expressed their surrender also began to move, which immediately caused great tension among the Night's Watch, and the two sides immediately became hostile.
However, what is puzzling is that although Prince Olaf of Thern is famous for his arrogance and bellicosity, he did not have the urge to swing his axe at the Night's Watch at this moment. He was just subconsciously chilled by Leon's remarks. Many wildlings were the same. When they thought of the fate of their relatives and friends in Hardhome, their faces were filled with despair.
"Unless they surrender to me, I cannot accept their existence. You foul-mouthed Thenn, come closer, take this thing, and help me bring those wildlings who are willing to surrender to me to the Wall. Remember, go to Eastwatch by sea. Don't go south through the Haunted Forest."
Lyon suddenly changed the subject, waved to Prince Senn, and then handed the Free Folk Horn into his hand without any warning.
The disappointment on the faces of the wildlings was gone in an instant, replaced by surprise. On the contrary, Mance Rayder opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't believe that Lyon handed over the Horn of the Free Folk so easily. Wasn't he afraid that Olaf would betray him?
You know, even as the King Beyond the Wall, he never dared to truly trust any Thenn.
Leon was naturally not afraid, because he had just received an application from the berserker Olaf, Prince of Thern, to join the team.
Olaf's reaction was even more unexpected to Mance Rayder.
"Lord Commander... sir," Olaf's expression looked a little awkward, obviously because he and other free folk had long been accustomed to calling their leader "King Beyond the Wall". It obviously took some time to adapt to changing this title to "Lord Commander of the Night's Watch". However, despite the inner struggle, his face did not show any betrayal.
"One hundred thousand wildlings, if one is missing you have to capture a White Walker to fill the number, do you understand?"
After saying that, Leon habitually patted the other person's shoulder, wanting to let the other person know the heavy burden on his shoulders.
This time, not only the King Beyond the Wall was dumbfounded, but even the Night's Watch brothers who lived with Lyon day and night were dumbfounded.
Some of them found it hard to accept that the members of the two camps, who had just been fighting each other to death, could become brothers and act so close so quickly.
Olaf felt neither amused nor helpless. Although he wanted to loudly mock Leon's stupid behavior, he was restricted by the system's thought stamp and could not even express the most basic ridicule, which made him very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, he seemed to have found an outlet for his emotions, and roared at the King-Beyond-the-Wall who was lying on the ground: "What are you looking at, you wildling leader! Why don't you roll over here and swear allegiance to the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch?!"
