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

Daenerys and the others stood on the elevator, and as the distance rose, they began to see the busy scene below. Only at this height could people truly appreciate the magnificence of the Wall, and it was hard to imagine how the ancestors thousands of years ago built such a great building.

Daenerys suddenly thought of a question: "Since the White Walkers have taken action, should we transfer the Dothraki cavalry here?"

Liu Yuan shook his head and denied it. "It's not necessary yet. The White Walkers haven't launched an attack yet. The Wall spans 160 leagues and has 19 castles. We can't be sure where the White Walkers' main attack direction will be. Therefore, we need to retain a strong mobile force. Moreover, the troops on the Wall are sufficient. The armed forces of nobles from all over the country have arrived one after another, and the number has exceeded 30,000. Have you seen those wooden houses? In addition to being a place for people to live, they can also form a line of defense after the fall of the Wall when necessary."

Hearing Liu Yuan's words, Daenerys did not insist. She looked at the dense crowd below and felt a little relieved. She knew the cruelty of war and the importance of defense.

"I hope everything goes well." Daenerys said softly.

Liu Yuan patted her shoulder to comfort her. The elevator had reached the top of the Great Wall. In order to avoid the cold, small rooms were separated on the wall to store supplies for defending the city. Soldiers usually rested in them. There was a relatively spacious corridor in the middle, connecting the two ends. In fact, the space at the top of the Great Wall was limited, and the number of combatants it could accommodate was limited. After several sieges by wildlings, the Night's Watch made a more reasonable plan for this.

At this time, a cold wind blew, lifting Daenerys's bearskin cloak. She couldn't help but shiver. Everywhere she looked was a vast expanse of white snow. Even the forest not far away was covered with ice and snow, looking like a huge white monster. She couldn't help but look around and asked in confusion, "Where are the White Walkers?"

Liu Yuan handed the telescope to Daenerys and pointed it at the forest below. He said calmly, "It's right there, at the edge of the forest. There are more in the forest."

Daenerys took the telescope and looked in the direction of Liu Yuan's finger. She saw a dense patch of human figures at the edge of the forest, but they looked very strange and terrifying. Some of these figures had rotted away to the point that only skeletons were left, while others were covered with ice and snow. If you didn't look closely, you would think they were tree stumps. Only their dark blue eyes showed their uniqueness. In the forest, countless human figures could be vaguely seen swaying, as if hiding endless secrets and dangers.

Suddenly, Daenerys felt a chill coming over her, and she realized that her body was gradually adapting to the cold environment. She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and then said to Liu Yuan: "You don't seem to react to them, aren't you afraid?"

Liu Yuan shrugged nonchalantly and replied calmly, "Why do you think I lived in the North for seven years? Because I often go outside the Great Wall to hunt these ghosts. In fact, I made plans outside the Great Wall more than ten years ago, and the occupation of Skaggs Island also serves this plan. The black demons mentioned by the wild men are my men. In order to reduce the population outside the Great Wall, my army has been constantly capturing wild men outside the Great Wall for ten years and selling them to the East Continent."

His voice was calm, but it startled Daenerys. She had heard that Liu Yuan had sold slaves, but she had never known where these slaves came from. Now that she heard Liu Yuan admit it himself, she realized that these wildlings were actually his prey.

Daenerys widened her eyes, looked at Liu Yuan in disbelief, and asked, "How many people did you capture?" There was a hint of shock in her voice.

Liu Yuan said calmly, "I haven't counted the exact number, but it should be no less than 750,000."

Hearing his words, Missandei was so shocked that she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Gods above!"

Seeing the two people's surprised expressions, Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Just as you imagined, until five years ago, I was the main supplier of Slaver's Bay. At least 5% of the Unsullied under your command were sold to Astapor by me. Do you think now that I, a slave trader, am not worthy of you, the Breaker of Shackles?"

Daenerys frowned and asked with some difficulty: "I don't understand why you do this?"

Liu Yuan pointed at the wights below, his expression became serious, and he said slowly: "It is to allow more people to survive! These wildlings in this land of ice and snow do not have enough food and resources, and their average life expectancy is basically no more than 30 years old. Many tribes even eat each other. More than a decade ago, the White Walkers revived in the land of eternal winter. Not only can they draw strength from the souls of the people they killed, they also do not let go of their corpses and become part of their army of the dead. I was just a small lord at that time, busy improving my strength every day, and could only rely on constantly capturing wildlings to expand my power. Some of these wildlings became my subjects, while others were sold to Essos for money. With this money, I can buy weapons and equipment for the army, and then capture more wildlings. Although the fate of those wildlings who were sold may be very tragic, at least most of them survived. If not, the army of wights you see now will definitely exceed one million."

Daenerys was silent for a moment, her eyes revealing an indescribable complex emotion.

"Perhaps you are right," Daenerys whispered.

Liu Yuan nodded: "I don't expect everyone to understand my approach. In my hometown, there was once a saying: To be or not to be, this is a question worth pondering! Everyone has different choices between life and freedom. In fact, some of your generals have recognized me, but they chose to remain silent because I gave them a chance to live."

Temporarily avoiding this topic, the two began to check the defensive facilities of the city wall and had a brief exchange with the soldiers. Most of them were new, and the Night's Watch taught them the experience of fighting in winter. In the process, Daenerys found that the soldiers were nervous but full of morale and fighting spirit when facing the enemy.

Whether it is the White Walkers or the Wights, they are most powerful at night and usually attack at night.
