Chapter 35 The Army Marches North to the Wall - Jaime the Iron Hand!
A day and a half later, the army, advancing day and night at full speed, arrived at Black Castle. Logistics and supplies were stored in Mole Village and guarded by designated personnel.
Old Bear and the upper echelons of Castle Black received Robert and the others. Robert's first question was:
"Have the teams that went to support Jiankuntun returned yet? What's the situation outside the Great Wall now?"
Old Bear replied, "They're back. Colin has returned with the Rangers, and most of the wildling tribes outside the Wall have been taken to Eastwatch by the fleet."
"Then send Colin and Jon Snow to see me. I want to personally inquire about the situation at Hardhome!"
Robert continued speaking and walked towards the Black Castle council chamber without stopping. Ned Stark, Oberyn Martell, and others quickly followed. Bai Ze also greeted Old Man Xiong and followed.
Shortly after everyone arrived at the council chamber, Colin arrived with Jon Snow and several rangers. Colin led the group in bowing to Robert, "Your Majesty!"
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. How many White Walkers did you see? Approximately how many wights are there?"
Robert waved to Colin, telling him not to stand on ceremony and to quickly tell him what was going on.
Colin, with one hand on his chest, said, "Your Majesty, we saw five White Walkers. One White Walker wielding an ice sword was killed by Jon Snow with his sword!"
The weapons that ordinary soldiers were equipped with, previously sent by Lord Bai Ze, were no match for the ice magic weapons wielded by the White Walkers.
Before he could finish speaking, Old Xiong interrupted, saying:
"The greatsword in Jon Snow's hand is Longclaw, the Valyrian steel sword passed down through my Mormont family. I gave it to him before he set off, and he did not disgrace the sword, successfully using Longclaw to kill a White Walker!"
"Oh! That means, including the one Bai Ze killed, two White Walkers have now been eliminated! That's really good news!"
Robert was delighted to hear this news upon arriving at Castle Black!
"Where is the ghoul army?"
Robert then looked at Colin, who had lost his hand, and asked again.
"There are many ghoul troops. We've wiped out no fewer than several thousand in Jiankang Village alone! And people are still falling off the cliff behind Jiankang Village! They're too many to count!"
Moreover, the ghoul army is no longer just composed of dead savages and a portion of slain rangers; we've also wiped out the ghoul direwolves!
Before Colin could even make Robert happy for long, he dealt King Robert a blow!
"Tsk!"
Robert grimaced, looking quite uncomfortable.
"We've eliminated over a dozen wight direwolves. Considering the current state of the White Walkers' forces against the wight army, no one really knows how many living creatures are left outside the Wall!"
On the bright side, though, Tormund, the wildling leader, and we rescued several giants from the White Walkers! We didn't see any wight giants among the White Walker forces!
If giants were to turn into ghouls, that would be a real problem. They're huge and incredibly strong; they could tear a ghoul in two!
Colin finished speaking with a frown, then bowed to Robert with his hand on his chest to indicate that he had finished speaking.
Robert let out a sigh, leaned back in his chair, rubbed his right hand against the armrest, and stroked his beard thoughtfully with his left.
Suddenly Robert sat up straight, looked around, and said:
"The Barristan? Send him to me!"
The knight at the door immediately turned and went outside to look for Barristan. A moment later, Barristan ran into the hall, "Your Majesty!"
"I almost forgot about the puppets. Barristan is with several adults now, letting them select loyal people to start taking over the puppets, and then demonstrating how to use them to the assigned people. Their tasks will be very important then!"
News of the Wall has kept us from dealing with the matter in Winterfell, and now Robert has assigned Barristan the task of overseeing and distributing it.
"Oh, and Stannis, you go too. You'll be in charge of choosing the Baratheon's men!"
Stannis stood up, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
Inside Castle Black, Tyrion was searching for his brother Jaime Lannister. He grabbed several people and finally got news of Jaime, who said that he had been injured while helping Hardhome with Jon Snow.
Tyrion, upon hearing the news, ran towards the place where the wounded were staying at Castle Black.
Before Tyrion even reached the medical room, he spotted a figure sitting on a bench with a tattered golden robe and armor, and blond hair that looked like it had been chewed by a dog.
"James!"
Tyrion couldn't help but shout it out!
…
Jaime Lannister is having Samwell Tarly bandage his left hand, which was bitten off by a wight!
During the Battle of Hardhome, Jaime was bitten on the left forearm by a wight that rushed up to his face from behind a tent while trying to protect the women and children on his right.
By the time Jaime pushed the women and children aside and drew his sword with his right hand, his arm was already a bloody mess from being bitten!
After dealing with the ghouls with one hand, Jaime could see the bone above the wrist guard on his left wrist. Enduring the pain, he cleaved his left arm in two from the forearm with a single sword strike!
After successfully escaping back to Eastwatch, the wounded were transferred to Black Castle, which has better medical facilities, where they are currently receiving secondary treatment.
…
Hearing someone call his name, James, who was in pain and had Sam apply medicine to him, turned around and saw a not-too-tall figure not far from him!
It was only then that Tyrion noticed that Jaime Lannister's entire lower forearm and left hand were missing.
Sam stopped applying the ointment, looked up at the person who had come, and realized it was Tyrion, the little devil who had peed on the Wall last time.
Jaime suddenly stood up, strode forward, and hugged Tyrion with his right hand!
Tyrion hugged his long-lost brother tightly, then released Jaime and took two steps back. Looking at the weathered figure crouching before him, he lowered his head, touched Jaime's left arm, and asked:
"What happened? You're usually very skilled, how could you lose an arm? How will you fight in the future?"
Jaime chuckled wryly, patted Tyrion on the shoulder, stood up and sat back down on the bench, letting Sam continue applying medicine and bandaging him.
Tyrion followed, looking at Jaime with a pained expression. Jaime glanced at his brother, who had never shown such an expression before, and said:
"Hey! Our little devil didn't always have this expression!"
"You're joking with me at a time like this? Did a dog eat your brain and your hair together?"
Tyrion was so angry he wanted to slap his brother!
Jaime quickly grabbed the fuming Tyrion with his right hand and said:
"Sigh~ I lost my hand while saving someone! Only after coming to the North did I realize how foolish the terrible things we did in King's Landing were!"
You haven't seen ghouls tumbling down cliffs like an avalanche, or rangers charging into the breach in the city wall smashed open by ghouls with incendiary and explosive bombs!
I have no idea what I was thinking when I was protecting the savage woman and child as we retreated. When I saw the ghoul rushing towards me, I instinctively pushed the savage woman and child away with my right hand!
I raised my left hand to block the hoe in the ghoul's hand, and the hoe got stuck in my arm guard!
He bit into the gap in my arm guard, and by the time I pulled out my sword with my right hand and felled the ghoul, I could already see the bone. With a ruthless determination, I stabbed him right where the bone was visible, and look—that's how it turned out!
At this moment, Sam looked at Jaime Lannister, who was in a good mood, and said:
"The blacksmiths at Black Castle are quite skilled; you can have them forge you an iron gauntlet. When the Great Wall was being upgraded, many of the salvaged swords were of good quality!"
As Sam spoke, he raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, looking smug. If it were before, Jaime Lannister would have definitely pulled out a dagger and stuck it in this fatso's face!
"Wow! Iron Hand Jaime! That sounds much better than Kingslayer!"
Tyrion finally understood that his brother's left hand was gone forever!
Jaime Lannister rolled his eyes and patted his younger brother, who was starting to act silly again, with his right hand.
Tyrion suddenly thought of:
"Although I can't make your hand grow back, I should be able to help your wound heal faster. Wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, Tyrion ignored Jaime's puzzled expression and Sam's bandaging of Jaime's arm, and turned back to wait for me in the direction of the council chamber.
…
In the Great Hall of Castle Black, Robert arranged for men to go out to the Wall with the Rangers to search for the movements of the White Walker army, instructed Stannis and Ser Barristan to complete the distribution and demonstration training of the puppets as soon as possible, and then adjourned the meeting.
Bai Ze came out of the hall, about to find something to eat, when Tyrion came up to me and said:
"My lord, I have a request to make of you!" His tone was sincere, and his attitude was resolute.
"Hmm? What could have made our little devil so polite! I've never seen you this polite when you were with His Majesty Robert!"
Bai Ze stopped and wanted to hear Tyrion's request.
"It's James, he lost his left hand at Hardhome!"
I've seen Lord Renly before and know that he possesses a miraculous healing potion. His Majesty Robert was likely injured by the boar because of this potion!
I don't ask you to find his hand, I just want you to heal his injury and stop him from being in pain!
I wonder if you, sir, could grant me this request!
As he spoke, Tyrion slowly knelt on one knee in front of me.
Bai Ze looked at Tyrion, his mind racing with questions.
"Damn, James lost another hand, but this time it's his left!"
Bai Ze thought for a while. It was just a bottle of high-level life-restoring medicine. Besides, James was willing to lose a hand to save the savages, so it seemed that things had changed!
"Let's go, lead the way! Let's go see Ser Jaime Lannister now!"
"Thank you, sir! I will always remember your kindness!"
Overjoyed, Tyrion quickly stood up and led Bai Ze back to Jaime.
Bai Ze saw that the chubby Sam was also there and greeted him first.
Hey Sam, what are you doing here?
Sam, seeing that Bai Ze and Tyrion had arrived together, quickly bowed and said:
"Many wounded have arrived at the infirmary. The scholars and wizards are too busy to handle them all, so they've called over everyone except the warriors to treat and bandage the lightly wounded!"
Bai Ze nodded, looking at Jaime Lannister, who was still bowing to him without getting up. One of his hands was wrapped in yellowed bandages, and his entire left forearm and left hand were gone!
It seems like they lost even more than in the original series!
Bai Ze took out the high-grade life potion he had prepared, handed it to James, and said:
"Drink this and it'll make you feel better. Go find a blacksmith to forge you a hand, oh! He can even forge you a fist. Then no one will be able to withstand your left punch!"
"Oh! Iron Fist Jaime, that's even more manly than the 'Iron Hand Jaime' that Lord Tyrion gave him before!"
Sam started raising his eyebrows and pursing his lips again. James looked at the cheeky Sam Will Tully and decided that once the Iron Fist was finished, he would let this fatso be the first to taste it!
"Hahaha... Haha! Good, good, good, Iron Hand James! Iron Fist James is awesome!"
Jaime Lannister reluctantly asked Tyrion to open the potion for him, and then gulped it down in one go.
James immediately felt his previous injuries healing. Even the blunt force trauma to his body no longer hurt, and the wound from his missing arm was no longer very painful!
