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

Jon rode up quickly and dismounted, followed closely by several Night's Watch officers. He looked at Stannis and the red priestess with a curious and scrutinizing look.

Stannis watched them with admiration in his eyes. "Well done, brave men of the Night's Watch. Your bravery on the battlefield has exceeded my expectations."

Jon responded modestly: "Thank you for your praise. Your Excellency's army also performed outstandingly on the battlefield. This has given me a new understanding of the southern nobles."

At this time, Davos interrupted with a solemn face and said: "Young man, be careful with your attitude. The one standing in front of you is the only true king of the Seven Kingdoms. You should respectfully address him as His Majesty the King."

Jon did not flinch. He took a step forward, straightened his body and said, "I know his identity, of course, but it was because of him that my father lost his life. I am Jon Stark, the 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. I welcome you to the Wall, Your Majesty Stannis."

Stannis was moved when he heard this. "Your father, Eddard Stark, was indeed an admirable man. I am deeply sorry for his passing. If he could see what you have achieved today, he would certainly be pleased."

Jon said sincerely, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I have a suggestion. Night is about to fall. The top priority should be to quickly clean up the battlefield and return to the south of the Wall as soon as possible. We must burn all the corpses before dark, otherwise once night falls, these corpses are likely to turn into the corpse army of the White Walkers. Please believe me, such a consequence is definitely not what you want to see."

Melisandre agreed solemnly, "Your Majesty, he is right. An evil force is quietly eroding this land. Only a raging fire can cleanse all the filth."

So, the brave warriors of the Night's Watch and Stannis' army worked together to gather the bodies of the fallen wildlings together and then set them on fire. At the same time, the victims of their own side were transported back to the Black Castle to prepare for a simple and solemn funeral.

After this fierce battle, the morale of the Night's Watch was greatly boosted, and they showed unprecedented high morale. Stannis also won the admiration of everyone for his outstanding performance of bravery, fortitude and decisiveness.

However, the harsh winter on the Great Wall is extremely harsh, and it is difficult for the army from the warm south to endure for a long time. If they camp here, I am afraid that a large number of soldiers will be frostbitten or even frozen to death. After intense negotiations and consultations, the Night's Watch finally made a difficult decision: they will give up the eight strong fortresses of Stone Gate, Frost Mountain, Icescar, Nightfort, Deep Lake Residence, Sable Hall, Ice Gate and Beacon Tower for Stannis's army to station troops. However, the most critical and vital Eastwatch was jointly guarded by the armies of both sides to form an indestructible line of defense.

In order to enable Stannis's troops to quickly adapt and become familiar with the defensive tasks along the Great Wall, the Night's Watch did not hesitate to dispatch a group of experienced elite warriors to assist friendly forces in integrating into the new environment as quickly as possible and teach them to become familiar with the defense of the Great Wall.

Faced with the imminent threat of the terrifying White Walkers, the two sides finally chose to fight side by side, vowing to resist the enemy's invasion at all costs and to defend the tranquility and peace of the vast land of the Seven Kingdoms behind the Great Wall.

In the following days, Stannis's army entered the castle in an orderly manner. Jon also reinforced the withdrawn Night's Watchmen in other strongholds. Then he devoted himself to the busy war preparations. He led his soldiers to train day and night and continuously improved their combat skills. At the same time, he also ordered to strengthen the fortifications of various city fortresses, actively prepare various military supplies, and be ready to fight the threat from the Far North at any time. The Night's Watchmen also actively cooperated. They used their familiarity with the Great Wall and the surrounding terrain to develop a detailed defense plan. Under the leadership of the two, the confidence of the defenders increased day by day.

Castle Black, once a magnificent building, now shows the vicissitudes of time. The castles along the Great Wall have been eroded by wind and rain and have fallen into disrepair, but for ordinary soldiers, they can still make do with living. However, Stannis's family obviously cannot endure such a harsh environment, so they choose to temporarily live in Castle Black.

Jon knew that more reinforcements might arrive in the future, and the already tight living space in the castle would become even more stretched. Therefore, he decisively ordered the Stonehedge and Raven's Teeth in the rear to be reactivated. Fortunately, not only was there a sufficient number of troops at this time, but there were also a large number of wildling captives available for deployment, making the repair work progress exceptionally smoothly.

In the commander's study, the fire was burning, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold room. Several people sat around the fireplace, the atmosphere was solemn. Jon broke the silence: "Your Majesty, I just received news from King's Landing that Tywin Lannister was assassinated in the Prime Minister's Tower. What are your plans for this?"

Stannis' eyes flashed with anger and determination. He gritted his teeth and said, "He should have died long ago! It is because of the treacherous Tywin that the Seven Kingdoms have fallen into such a chaotic situation. Now that Tywin is dead, there is no one who can protect the Lannister family. After we end the war here, it will be time to take back the Iron Throne that should belong to me! Jon, are you willing to lend a hand? At the same time, this is also a great opportunity to avenge your father."

Jon was silent for a moment, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he was very tempted by Stannis's proposal. But he remembered his mission, and Jon recited slowly: "The long night is coming, and I will start watching from tonight until I die. I will not marry, be granted land, or have children. I will not wear a crown, and I will not fight for honor. I will be loyal to my duty, and live and die here. I am a sword in the dark, a guard on the Great Wall, a flame that resists the cold, a light at dawn, a horn that awakens the sleepers, and a shield that protects the kingdom. I dedicate my life and honor to the Night's Watch, tonight, and every night... The mission of the Night's Watch is to guard the Great Wall, and we will always stay out of the war of the Seven Kingdoms. As the commander-in-chief, I must practice this creed in person. However, in order to express my gratitude for your assistance, the Night's Watch will do its best to provide all possible support without sending troops in the future."
