Chapter 134 Traitor

Although what Jack wanted to express was "Who are you here, tell me your name."

But to everyone's ears, it meant "Who is the person kneeling below?" No one understood why Jack asked so loudly.

Was it to create momentum to interrogate this Baratheon?

Some of the Night's Watch knew Stannis, such as Jack's "old darling" Maester Aemon.

Stannis said nothing and didn't even look at Jack. He wanted to come to the North to accumulate strength, but he didn't expect to run into the returning Targaryen head-on.

If there were no Targaryens, he would be the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne against any force, but when facing the Targaryens, no matter what he said, it was the words of a traitor.

"He is Stannis, the second son of the Baratheon family. Two years ago, during the Rebellion of the Five Kings, he proclaimed himself king on Dragonstone. He was later defeated by the Lannister and Tyrell families at Blackwater Bay." Aemon said tremblingly.

"Haha, so you are the brother of the usurper, yet you dare to claim to be king, and you claim to be king on Dragonstone. You are a traitor with no honor at all, but you still have the nerve to claim to be king and to fight for the Iron Throne?"

Jack's taunting made Stannis' face turn red. In the end, Stannis still defended himself: "The Mad King was cruel and merciless. His death is neither good nor bad for everyone."

"But what about Rhaegar? Rhaegar is not cruel. As far as I know, Rhaegar and Lyanna are in love with each other. It is not as Robert said that Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna. The marriage can be negotiated to change the person, but Robert lacks an excuse to revolt, right?"

At the beginning, Lyanna and Rhaegar were in love with each other. Robert might love Lyanna, but he definitely didn't love her as much as Robert said!

Things like marriage can be arranged by changing people. It would never happen that the Duke and the King would openly confront each other simply because of a woman, especially after the Mad King burned Duke Stark and his heir to death with wildfire.

Jack even suspected that the Eileen family was involved. The Stark family knew that the Mad King was cruel, but they still went to King's Landing to ask for an explanation. Isn't this just the mouse licking the cat's coin?

Of course, these are all Jack's speculations, but it does not prevent Jack from accusing Stannis. This kind of thing is hard to explain, so it is better to turn it into a shit hat and put it on the other party's head.

"Humph, there's no point in saying so much. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

Stannis knew that it was useless to say more. If it was Jack who was tied up, he could say whatever he wanted to Jack.

"Okay, okay, okay, well said, what a winner takes all, do you think this can cover up your treason?"

"I tell you, if you keep on being a traitor for a lifetime, you will be a traitor for the rest of your life!"

"I now sentence you to treason by the Hand of the King, Sir Hecarim. Cut off this traitor's head!"

Hecarim was stunned. He didn't expect Jack to ask him to chop off Stannis's head.

But Hecarim did not hesitate. He followed Stannis for the sake of wealth and glory, and now Stannis was captured and was considered a traitor.

If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Hecarim drew his sword and came behind Stannis. Stannis turned his head and stared at Hecarim with contempt in his eyes.

This made Hecarim feel a little ashamed.

"Traitor!"

As if he was a little angry and embarrassed, Hecarim roared and chopped off Stannis's head with a sword.

Gasping for breath, Hecarim seemed to be under tremendous psychological pressure.

Although the chivalrous spirit of the Seven Kingdoms has basically disappeared, and assassinations and betrayals are rampant in the Seven Kingdoms, even so, the knights still have a last fig leaf.

But Stannis's expression just now made Hecarim feel that his last fig leaf had been torn off, which made him shout "traitor".

"Cremate Stannis's body and gather his ashes for burial in the name of Lord Baratheon," Jack ordered.

This made many people have a better impression of Jack. After all, Jack and his dragon previously gave people the impression of being powerful and brutal, but now it seems that Jack is also tolerant.

Even when facing traitors, they were shown enough respect. Unlike a certain king in King's Landing, after killing someone, he would hang the person's head on the point of a gun and humiliate him at will, and even force the person's daughter to see her father's head.

It is obvious that Emperor Joffrey's cruelty and absurdity have become well-known, especially in the hearts of the Stormland Knights heading north, who are more aware of Joffrey's cruelty and tyranny.

"Hecarim, from now on, I appoint you as the commander of the Dragon Knights. The remaining one thousand cavalrymen are in your hands. Don't let me down."

The depression in Hecarim's heart was instantly swept away, and he quickly knelt on one knee, indicating that he would never let Jack down.

Jack then summoned the leaders of the wildling tribes and began to divide the tribes' habitats for them. He also set rules that required them to abide by the laws of the North and not do anything illegal.

Soon enough a month had passed.

Because Jack strictly blocked the news of the Great Wall, the southern nobles who were busy preparing for the king's wedding did not notice any changes to the Great Wall.

During this period, Jack formed two legions, one of which was a heavy cavalry legion of one thousand men - the Dragon Knights.

The other is the 5,000-man Sons of Winter Infantry Regiment, including 1,000 archers and 4,000 infantry, most of whom are wildlings. Because the wildlings and crows refused to give in to each other when naming, the name was finally decided to be the Sons of Winter.

Jack also took out all the weapons in stock of the Night's Watch to arm the two legions. Although there was no armor or protective gear, at least all 5,000 people had weapons to use instead of the previous wooden spears and sticks.

Jack also ordered the use of the limited iron ore in the Black Castle to forge two sets of giant armor and maces, and armed the two giants.

The giant is indeed a war machine. Once equipped with armor and maces, the giant that originally looked extremely backward and barbaric directly turned into a sacred giant guard.

Especially after riding on a mammoth equipped with chain mail, once launching a charge, it is absolutely invincible and is better at breaking through the enemy's formation than heavy cavalry.

At the same time, Jack arranged a large number of free people to cut down trees, starting directly from the Ghost Forest below the Great Wall.

On the one hand, it can store supplies for heating, and on the other hand, it can provide these savages with something to do.

Jack called Tormund and Hecarim in the early morning hours, along with Donald and Maester Aemon.

"Mance has led 200 wildling cavalrymen to Hardhome to relocate the remaining free folk tribes. Although we have resettled 20,000 people this month, we have little food left, so we must prepare to move south."

As soon as Jack finished speaking, Tormund's eyes lit up, "Okay, when do we go south?"

When the barbarian tribes went south to attack the Great Wall, they did not carry much supplies with them. Basically, they only brought half a month's worth of food.

During this period, they relied entirely on hunting in the Wolf Forest and the supplies from the Black Castle.
