Chapter 25-[Crocs]
Jon heard the news, they were in the war tent that the boy summoned.
" They are one day away, we must make a decision. Either we attack Yunkai or the mercenaries of Meeren," Gray Worm said.
"To attack Yunkai, we must eliminate the siege engines, if we attack the mercenaries that come from Meeren, it means that we have no defense, right" Jon said.
The soldier nodded.
Jon became thoughtful.
"We should attack Yunkai, we would have the defenses of its wall against the mercenaries of Meeren," said a mercenary.
"You're crazy, the catapults will destroy us, it is preferable to attack the mercenaries of Meeren, we will not have great defense methods, but at least we will not be at the mercy of the siege machines," said another.
"Or negotiate with Meeren," said another.
"Negotiate, they come in defense of Yunkai and Astapor, you also know that the masters of Meeren are the most bloodthirsty of all, surely you know their orders ." responded another.
"What about the king's magic?" said a former slave.
"Can he take charge of an entire army? "Asked a mercenary.
"Of course not," Jon said.
Everyone remained silent.
"Gray Worm, what do you think?"Jon asked.
"We should attack the mercenaries of Meeren," he said.
Many agreed, others opposed.
"Why?" he asked.
"The information indicates that they do not come by boat, but on foot... It is an exhausting trip, if it only took three days to arrive, their resources must be few, to ride so many kilometers, they will be tired... their best strategy is a quick attack and coordinated his majesty's forces, weakening us, and securing a direct entrance to Yunkai to improve its defense," Gray Wind said.
"Why didn't they come in boats?" Jon asked.
"Possibly, because they don't have them," a mercenary said.
Jon looked confused.
According to his information, Meeren had a large fleet.
"Meeren has been taking slaves from the territories of Naan during the last few months, according to our information, a group of large pirates from the Basilisk Islands have attacked their ports several times" clarified another.
"That means Meeren is attacking the Basilisk Islands with their ships, and they don't have a fleet now," he murmured.
"Very well, it's decided, we will take care of the Meeren mercenaries, first...We will attack at night, we will use the darkness to our advantage...Their camp shouldn't be far, " he said.
Gray worm nodded.

Robb Stark entered the cabin.
Mance invited him to sit, Melisandre entered next to him.
The savages were aggressive, Robb noticed behind Mance a very beautiful slender woman with blonde hair, she had it tied up in a braid over one of her shoulders. She has pale gray eyes with high, sharp cheekbones.
It took all of Robb's self-control not to stare at her, she was without a doubt among the most beautiful northern women he had ever seen, even superior to Dacey, on par with his wife, but she is no northerner.
"your exploits and tragedies have become known in the north, Robb Stark, king of the north... And witch, your victories are known to these corners of the world, the man who never lost a battle, survivor of the red wedding, "Mace said.
"For that, my fame pursues me, or is infamy...Mance Rayder, traitor of the night's watch, and the king beyond the wall, the man who has united the wild tribes into one"Robb responded.
Mance smiled.
"A short time ago, I crossed paths with another Stark witch… Brandon, I let him go, since I thought he had his own mission here" he said.
Robb looked at him in surprise.
"Bran? He died months ago," he clarified.
"Clearly an exaggeration, he couldn't move his legs, but he wasn't dead, believe me, king of the north, I know the dead," he clarified.
Robb shook his head trying to get that little hope out, it wasn't the time to investigate that, there will be time later.
"Do you know the dead? Are you talking about the rumors? The walkers?" he asked.
"I'm surprised, I was expecting some denial, or telling me I'm crazy," he said.
"A few months ago I would have done it, but things have changed now," he said.
Mance heeded.
"Our intention is not to attack, but to go through the wall...We cannot win on this side, nor on the other...But the wall will protect us from them" he said.
"Nothing can protect you from others, only the Lord of Light," Melisandre said.
Mance looked at her confused.
"Priestess " Robb informed.
The king beyond the wall looked at her.
"Gods do not intervene on behalf of humans, we are toys for them, if we break, they get others," he said.
The woman snorted offended.
Robb smiled.
The beautiful northern woman stared at him.
"You say you don't want to attack but go through the wall, if you break the wall, it won't stop the dead anymore, "the boy said.
Mance headed.
"A difficult task, attacking the wall, without breaking it during the attack...But not impossible" he said.
"My men will support the guard, and King Stannis's as well, you have no chance," Robb said.
Mance shrugged.
"I'm not surprised, but we will attack anyway, it is better to die trying than to wait for the dead," he said.
"What if there is another option," he said.
"Like what?" Mance asked.
"The north is at war, the seven kingdoms are at war...Stannis wants your men to join him, to obtain the iron throne, if you kneel before him, he will let you pass and make your men lords "Robb said.
Mance shook his head.
"We are the free people, we do not kneel before anyone," he said.
"Pride?" Robb asked.
"Pride, do you think so? " Mance asked.
"I was also proud, I had a family of which I was proud, my pride made me trust my best friend, he burned my house and my brothers...My pride made me win every battle, it made me believe that a man would never reveal himself before a king, even so, he did it and my mother died for it… Yes, Mance, I think it's pride " said Robb.
The king beyond the wall laughed.
"I see, in my case, I believe it is my way of living, the way of the free people," he said.
"I guess we failed," said Robb.
"Yes, I suppose," Mance muttered.
Robb got up.
"Good luck in the wars to come, "said Robb.
"Likewise"

Jon watched the attack as he continued, he had sent ten lions, seven pythons, and 3 brown bears first, it was obvious that the mercenaries of Meeren were not used to these types of creatures, the screams could be heard for miles in the distance.
Jon waited ten minutes before giving the order to attack, his creatures, living or dead, did what they should do, causing chaos for the mercenaries.
Gray Worm gave the order, and thousands of soldiers fell on the Meeren mercenaries. The fiery arrows hit the camp, setting tents on fire, and letting the soldiers see their targets.
Jon let Gray Worm lead the attack this time, he was not used to attacking in the dark, but he still fought with his comrades.
His sword was illuminated by a flame, the fire aura ignited.
They arrived at the camp, Jon began to attack mercenaries, while they caught fire from the blows of his weapon.
"Witch!" exclaimed the burning mercenaries.
Gray worm with his spear impaled those who approached.
Sansa, meters behind, created the healing and recovery shelter around her.
The boy knew she could heal by dozens of men, without even breaking a sweat.
He could do nothing but admire his sister's tenacity, there was nothing more of the dreamy Sansa who lived in Winterfell.
That thought made him feel sad for a second.
A mercenary approached and cut Jon on the shoulder, Jon decapitated him.
"Jon, come here," He heard Sansa.
"I'm fine, it was a scratch," he said.
And he went into battle again, eliminating about twenty mercenaries and summoning two lions to continue attacking.
A mercenary jumped on him, seeing that his sword was burning the others, and hit him with his fist. Jon spat blood and kicked the mercenary and then stabbed his sword into his stomach.
"Your majesty? "He heard a mercenary exclaim.
"The saintess has asked me to take you to her, or she would come find you herself," he said.
Jon smiled and shook his head.
"I'll go alone, you kill a couple more, there's little time left "Jon finished.
Sansa was waiting for him with a cold look.
"I'm fine," he said.
"You're bleeding, stay still," she said.
Jon sighed and did as she said.
"Remove Pain…Heal…Relax mind…Cure Deficit" said the girl and the boy was surrounded by an aura.
Sansa saw a bright light in her eyes, she had leveled up and entered the white room. She quickly went to the computer, she knew that she didn't have enough points to obtain a new skill, so she preferred to do things quickly. She reached level 7 with 4 skill points.
The girl exited, and Jon raised an eyebrow when he saw her distracted.
"What are you waiting for? Get back to it, " she told him, still upset.
Jon laughed.
"Not much longer," he murmured.
He left the place and joined the men.
A large man was approaching him with a gigantic axe.
"Strong attack," Jon whispered.
Strong attack combined with fire aura and the Valyrian sword did the trick, the ax breaking in half.
"He broke Jan the butcher's axe," the boy heard.
Jon ignored the looks of astonishment and pierced Jan's heart. He was blinded for a moment as he was sent to the white room.
"So fast, Jan must have been more powerful than he seemed," he mused. And he headed towards the computer.

Jon thought about what to do, wait a level and get swordsmanship to level 8, or use his points for to bring Summoning Magic to level 5, the boy thought and decided that it was better to improve his summons.
[T/N: FINALLY]
The player has selected summoning magic.
Do you want to raise summoning magic to level 5?

It didn't take long for him to begin his spells.
"Lion...Lion...jaguar...Jaguar...brown bear...crocodile...Crocodile"the boy muttered.
The mercenaries saw the animals appear and gasped.
"Strength" He murmured and his animals glowed with power, gaining muscle and ferocity.
"Eliminate the enemies," Jon whispered.
"YES MY LOVE," the boy heard before they launched themselves at the army.
[T/N: ...This is making me uncomfortable, it's starting to...nevermind it's not that bad yet.]
"It's over, everyone has fallen, there are no survivors," said Gray Worm.
"Take the wounded to Sansa, we will sleep until tomorrow...Yunkai will fall tomorrow," Jon ordered.
The Unsullied nodded.
"VICTORY!"Jon shouted.
His men shouted with him.
"For the king"
"Witch King"
"For Valyria"

Arya felt uncomfortable when she entered the house with the black and white door.
"Chameleon...muffle," she whispered, becoming transparent and soundless.
Her instinct told her to do it.
She saw Jaqen arguing with a girl.
"He betrayed us, he left the white man alive... And what's worse, he informed her of our contract," said the girl.
"Did you kill the white guy?" Jaqen asked.
"Of course, but you know what it means...Give me permission to kill her" she asked.
Jaqen was silent for a second.
"Do it quickly," he said.
She nodded.
Arya in her transparent form retreated.

"I'll leave you here, follow the path, it will only be a couple of days," Benjen said.
T/N: Sorry for the late post, a power pole fell over yesterday and I just charged my phone at a shop]
"Aren't you coming with us?" Bran asked.
"I can't get through the protections...Bran, you know what you have to do, do it"
