The journey of the film and television world is endless [continued]

Some people suggested launching an attack directly to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. After all, they were numerous and could rush forward and deal a fatal blow to the enemy. However, others were cautious, pointing out that these "kneeling people" were well-equipped and it would not be easy to defeat them easily. Moreover, the enemy had not yet launched an attack, and if they rushed forward rashly, it might result in heavy casualties. So they suggested retreating to Hardhome immediately to preserve their strength.

At this moment, a female leader named Morona suddenly stood up and said sternly to the man who advocated retreat: "You damn coward! Don't you know that the people behind us are working hard to build a big raft? That is our only hope to survive! If we give up now and let the southerners catch up, they will definitely send a fleet to stop us from crossing the river, and then none of us will be able to leave alive."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent and began to think about the next course of action. Finally, the most prestigious leader, Tormund, made a decision: "Morona, Hammer, Thistle, Firekiss, Freya, and Munda, the six of you lead the Spearwives to retreat first."

When Monda heard this, she immediately objected: "Father, I can't leave! I am a warrior!"

Morona also angrily questioned: "Tormund, do you look down on us women?" Several other female leaders also showed anger and dissatisfaction. They were all brave warriors and were unwilling to retreat because they were seen as weak.

Tormund: "What nonsense! It's not the turn of women to fight until all the men are dead. Get out of here!"

Tormund's voice was deafening, as if it would overturn the entire battlefield. Although the female leaders were unwilling, they still obeyed the order and evacuated the battlefield with more than a thousand spearwives. The scene was surprisingly calm, without any conflict or resistance.

Tormund is determined to hold this place to the death to buy more time for the rear. He knows that if the people in the rear can be evacuated safely, then even if all the men die in battle, it is worth it. At this moment, Stannis also needs time. He is anxiously waiting for Robb and Jon to attack from the sea. Once they launch an attack, the fleet will quickly come to support. However, before that, he must hold his position to prevent the wildlings from escaping back to the haunted forest.

Stannis knew that as long as he controlled the women and children in the rear, these wildlings would lose the motivation to fight. After all, no one wanted to see their family members hurt. These sturdy wildlings were excellent sources of soldiers. He had reached an agreement with Robb that he could get 70% of the prisoners after the war. This was undoubtedly a huge fortune for him. Of course, these people must participate in the battle against the White Walkers. Only in this way can they be qualified to follow Stannis to King's Landing and fight the Lannister family. It is worth mentioning that the Iron Bank has agreed to provide food and funds to feed these people.

However, for some reason, Melisandre began to become restless from the moment she stepped into the haunted forest. She suggested to Stannis: "Your Majesty, this place gives me a bad feeling. I think we should leave here as soon as possible."

Stannis has always believed in the red-robed woman, but facing the current situation, he decided to seek the opinions of other close ministers. At this time, Davos stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the fleet has not arrived yet. If we act rashly now, we may be in a passive position. It is better to wait and see the situation. In addition, we can try to bring that Mance Reddra to the front and let him try to persuade the wildlings to surrender. Maybe there will be unexpected gains!"

Stannis thought this was a good idea, so he immediately ordered a wooden platform to be built in front of the battle. Soon, Mance Rayder was brought to the platform. Stannis looked down at him and said, "Mance Rayder, although you have rejected my kindness many times, I am still willing to give you one last chance. As long as you can convince the wildlings to surrender, I will not only spare your life, but also grant you the honor of serving me."

Mance Rayder looked up at Stannis and smiled bitterly: "Stannis, do you think I don't want to surrender? Free people will not give up their freedom and become your slaves. We have our own pride and dignity."

Stannis's face darkened. "So you intend to resist to the end?"

Mance Rayder took a deep breath and said, "This result will not change. Even if you kill me, the free people will fight to the last moment!"

A trace of determination flashed in Stannis' eyes. "Since this is the case, you have rejected my mercy again, so don't blame me. Davos, hang him." After saying that, he turned and left.

Melisandre stepped forward and called out, "Your Majesty, will you give him to me? The blood of the King-Beyond-the-Wall is supposed to have magical powers. I will use him to sacrifice to the Lord of Light."

Stannis turned around and looked at Melisandre. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you." Stannis thought for a moment and agreed, and left with his men. Soon, Mance Rayder was taken back to the platform again and tied to the wooden frame. The soldiers were busy piling firewood on the wooden frame, as if preparing for a grand ceremony. On the other side, the wildlings witnessed the fate that Mance Rayder was about to face, and their emotions gradually became anxious. They began to whisper and talk, and the originally orderly team became chaotic.

On the high platform, Mance Rayder stared at the firewood piled higher and higher around him, his eyes revealing despair and anger. He knew that he was about to die, but he was powerless to change anything.

At the same time, the wildlings on the opposite side saw the situation of Mance Rayder, and an indescribable fear surged in their hearts. Many wildlings began to get agitated, pushing and shoving each other, and trying to rush to the platform. However, they were stopped by the warriors around them and could not move forward even a step.

The wildlings beyond the Wall united not only because of the survival pressure brought by the White Walkers, but also because of the personal charm of Mance Rayder. With his strong strength and leadership, he brought many tribes together to fight against foreign enemies. Now, this leader is about to face a tragic fate, and the wildlings are naturally in a complicated mood.

Tormund watched the chaos outside, frowning and trying to suppress his anger. Facing the noisy wildlings below, he roared, "Quiet! Fuckin' quiet!" His voice exploded in the air like thunder, shocking everyone.

When the wildlings heard Tormund's roar, they stopped and stared at him blankly. Tormund continued to shout: "Do you think this can save Mance? This is all the enemy's conspiracy, can't you see it?"
