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

Faced with such a complex situation, Tormund must make a response. He plans to send envoys to negotiate with Stannis and seek a possible settlement. In fact, some leaders have already planned to surrender. They are not like Mance Rayder who is on the high position of King Beyond the Wall and cannot step down. After all, in the face of survival, freedom and dignity can be put aside temporarily.

At the same time, Stannis was also thinking about the next move. He realized that the wildlings' resistance was still tenacious, and this battle might not end easily, but he had enough patience to wait for Robb and Jon's outflanking army to attack the wildlings' rear camp. Chaos would arise on the other side, and then he would have the final say on whether to surrender or attack.

"Maybe they are worried about the women and children in the rear. Their fighting spirit is average and they won't be able to hold on for long," said Davos on the side.

"If those women and children surrender first, these young and strong wild men will not be able to hold on," suggested another knight.

Stannis nodded. "Then keep a close eye on these people. If they dare to retreat, attack them. Jon and his men will not let me down."

While they were discussing, a soldier came running to report that several savage leaders were seen approaching.

"Let them come," Stannis ordered.

Soon, the wild leader came to them. He was tall, wearing animal skins, holding a battle axe in his hand, and his face was full of ferocity.

He asked fiercely, "What do you Southerners want?"

Stannis said calmly, "I have come to rescue you. You can only survive if you lay down your weapons and surrender."

"Surrender? Haha, how is that possible! We free people never surrender to anyone!" The leader laughed.

Another leader: "That's right, don't think we are afraid of you! We just don't want our families to be hurt!"

"Then why did you attack the Wall? You were the first to invade," Stannis asked.

"Humph, that's because you southerners have always treated us as enemies. The white ghosts and black demons hunt us, and you, as fellow human beings, won't even give us a way to live!" the leader roared angrily.

"If you are willing to submit to me, I promise that you will get the warm land in the south, and there will be no more hunger and cold winter..." Stannis made a promise to the wildling leader.

Melisandre, who had been standing by the fire, suddenly began to tremble all over, with a look of horror on her face! She shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! It's bad~"

....................................

A huge owl flapped its wings and flew over the steep cliffs. Its sharp eyes swept across the plains below, where a dense network of tents spread out like a spider web. These tents were closely arranged together to form circular camps.

Living in these tents were all the women and children of the wild people, as well as some young and strong men. At this moment, Hardship Village was in chaos, and many tents were set on fire. Looking down from a high place, you can see that a large number of troops have surrounded this place.

The savages were caught off guard by the sudden attack. They had never expected the enemy to come so quickly and bring so many people. The strong men and women were making large rafts on the beach, with almost no decent weapons. They were powerless to resist the well-equipped and armed soldiers.

Since the ruins of Hardhome were surrounded by walls, a large number of wild men began to gather towards the ruins in the center. However, even this could not accommodate everyone, resulting in about half of the people being blocked outside the thick wooden walls. They slapped the walls and wooden doors, and many people held their children and begged to be allowed in.

Those savages who managed to enter the ruins hugged each other tightly and looked at the outside world in horror. They knew they were trapped, and the only exit was behind the closed door.

At this time, some soldiers in the army were holding bows and arrows, ready to shoot the wild men who were trying to escape. However, the officers stopped them in time and told them that the purpose of this action was not to kill, but to capture as many prisoners as possible. The soldiers put down their bows and arrows, turned to shields and spears, and began to move forward.

As the soldiers continued to move forward, they found that the savages had no weapons to threaten them. Instead, they could only attack them with stones and sticks. However, this attack had no effect on the soldiers wearing heavy armor.

Outside the wall, there were cries and wails everywhere. But in fact, not many people actually died. Because most of the wildlings were women and children, both the Northern Army and the Night's Watch tried to avoid hurting them. Only a few men who tried to resist were killed, and the rest of the wildlings were driven together.

Most of the savages were easily captured, and the strong soldiers quickly picked up the ropes used to make rafts nearby and tied up the savages tightly.

However, it is natural for these rough men to make some small movements when tying people up. However, although the discipline of the Northern Army is relatively poor, they will not do anything excessive in public. Fortunately, under the strict control of Robb and Jon, the scene was effectively controlled and everything seemed to be in order.

They dispatched the soldiers in an orderly manner, with some responsible for surrounding the stronghold of Hardship Village, and others focusing on capturing prisoners. This arrangement not only ensured the efficiency of the work, but also had enough spare capacity to transport the captured prisoners to the ship. There were about 70,000 wild people here, and even tens of thousands of pigs would not be an easy task to capture.

Robb came to the shore, kicked the raft at his feet and looked around. He said, "This is the wildlings' back-up plan. They prepared so many rafts. It is obvious that they have planned this for a long time."

Jon nodded. "Yes! In order to cover up their true intentions, Mance Rayder led the old, weak, sick and disabled to attack the Wall, using human lives to attract our attention. So many rafts can transport about 50,000 people at a time. If it were women and children, the carrying capacity would be even higher. If we fail to respond in time, these people suddenly pouring into the North will be a big trouble."

"No, we are in big trouble now!" Rickon came over with Bran, and they looked very panicked. Before they got close, Bran said, "Robb, Jon, something bad is wrong. We are in big trouble! I see..."
