Stannis nodded slightly, indicating that he fully understood this. In his eyes, the people he respected most were those who valued their oaths and kept their promises, and Jon in front of him was just such a person. He said, "I understand your position, Jon. But after we successfully defeat the White Walkers, perhaps we can discuss the future and fate of the Seven Kingdoms together. It's a pity that I don't have enough manpower, but now is undoubtedly a great opportunity."

Jon frowned. "You mean the wildlings? Are you really going to let them join your army?"

Stannis raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a smile: "Haha! I have to admit that you are indeed very smart, and I really admire you more and more! You know, they are in urgent need of finding a way to survive to maintain their basic survival needs; but it happens that I am in urgent need of troops that can be deployed. So as long as these wild people are willing to swear an oath to be loyal to me personally from now on, then I will naturally choose to forgive the mistakes they have made and grant them the right to enjoy the national treatment they deserve. When one day in the future I successfully regain my own Iron Throne and return to King's Landing, I will generously reward them with a large amount of fertile and rich land resources suitable for living and farming, so that they can live a stable and happy life with no worries about food and clothing, and no longer have to endure the unbearable cold in the Far North!" At this moment, suddenly a gust of icy cold wind roared and swept past, and the strong wind made the doors and windows begin to make terrible creaking sounds. Everyone present couldn't help shivering, as if they had personally experienced the chill coming from the far north.

Melisandre, who had been standing by in silence, slowly spoke to break the unsettling silence: "Winter has come to the world. I can clearly sense that the power of the God of Cold is growing stronger day by day, and the minions of the God of Cold must not be too far away from us. ..."

Jon said seriously, "My lady, please forgive me for being a little rude, but my brave warriors and I have our own unshakable beliefs. In fact, I have witnessed those terrible monsters with my own eyes. They are extremely difficult to kill. It seems that only dragon glass and raging fire can completely destroy them."

At this moment, Melisandre responded: "We are here for this purpose. In the blazing flames, I saw the prophecy given by the Lord of Light: after a long summer, the stars will fall like weeping blood, and the severe cold will sweep the entire earth mercilessly; and Azor Ahai will be reborn from the smoke-filled and salty place, holding the holy sword that can ignite blazing fire - Lightbringer. He will start a thrilling and desperate battle with the White Walkers, the old enemy of R'hllor, and finally save this world on the verge of destruction! You know, for those barbarians who are forced to drift outside the Wall and struggle to survive, if they still choose to stay there, then there is only one way waiting for them, and that is death. Only by being loyal to the great King Stannis can they find a glimmer of hope. There is no doubt that he is the legendary reincarnation of Azor Ahai..."

Azor Ahai was a legendary figure in the world. When Jon was a child, the kind old nanny had told him a similar story.

As for the End of the Long Night, the image of a hero is depicted in various cultures, but the name of this hero is different. Including being called the hero Hel-Kron in Cologne, Yi-Tal in Yi Ti, Niflion in Nigel, and "Shadow Hunter" Edric. It is generally agreed that according to the ancient legends from Asshai and the followers of R'hllor, this extremely brave hero also possesses a holy sword that can release endless fire power - Lightbringer.

If Liu Yuan was present, he would be amazed, because this war of gods actually took place more than 6,000 years ago! At that time, the ancestors of the Valyrians still lived a primitive shepherding life. However, it was in that distant era that the ancient gods and R'hllor started a fierce battle, just to compete for the last source of divine power.

This fierce battle lasted for nearly a hundred years, during which the entire known world was engulfed in endless darkness and purgatory. Human society suffered a severe blow and was on the verge of extinction. In the end, both sides fell into a deep sleep due to the exhaustion of divine power, but the trauma brought to the world by this war was difficult to heal for a long time.

The legend of Azor Ahai has undoubtedly become the theme story of the entire world of ice and fire. So, who is the reincarnation of this legendary prince? According to legend, in that long era, the long night enveloped the entire world. More than one generation was trapped in winter since birth, and many people never saw the warm sunshine of spring until they died.

The severe cold weather was raging relentlessly, and resources were becoming extremely scarce. In desperation, the elderly were forced to shoulder the heavy responsibility of going out hunting. Although everyone knew in their hearts that these elderly people might never return, they silently accepted this cruel reality, just to leave limited food for the younger generation and children. In such a difficult and harsh environment, survival became the most important goal.

In a distant era, there was a brave warrior named Azor Ahai. He was chosen by a powerful god to fight against the forces of darkness. In order to face the endless night and defeat it, Azor Ahai decided to forge an indestructible hero sword.

He devoted himself to this arduous task day and night, and for thirty days and nights, he did not close his eyes for a rest. However, when he put the newly forged long sword into the water with great expectation to cool it down, something unexpected happened - the sword broke into countless pieces in an instant!

But Azor Ahai was not one to give up easily. He resolutely started over again. This time, he spent more time and energy, and went through fifty days and fifty nights. After unremitting efforts, the new sword was far superior to the previous one in terms of material and craftsmanship. Looking at this more outstanding and exquisite masterpiece in his hand, Azor Ahai was full of confidence. Then, he captured a ferocious lion and planned to pierce the sword into the core of its heart to cool the sword with the power of the lion's blood. Unfortunately, the result was not as expected. Although this attempt seemed perfect, the sword still broke without any warning and turned into fragments on the ground.

Faced with successive setbacks, Azor Ahai did not lose heart, but learned from them. He calmed down and thought carefully, how can he forge a true holy sword? After a long period of deep thought, the answer finally emerged in his mind...
