Ice and Fire: Conquering the World Starting from the Wall

In Westeros, however, the story is known to everyone:

Just when humanity was on the verge of extinction, the Children of the Forest and the First Men formed an alliance and discovered the nemesis of the White Walkers—dragon glass.

Subsequently, led by a hero named Azor Ahai, wielding the burning sword "Lightbringer," the people finally defeated the White Walkers, ending the Long Night. This final battle is known as the "Battle of Dawn."

The Great Wall was built after that.

When the dead rose from the dead to attack the living, the free people realized that the legend of the White Walkers was true, but no one wanted to associate it with the even more terrifying possibility of the "Long Night."

The White Walkers can be killed and escaped, but who can kill the night and escape the cold?

If only the White Walkers were causing trouble, they could hide on the other side of the Wall. But once the legendary Long Night returns, the whole world will be shrouded in endless cold. Plants will wither, animals will starve, and people will be no exception. There will be no use in escaping.

So when those two words were mentioned publicly, everyone's expression changed.

Since Mans had not informed Lynn beforehand, Lynn was unaware of his intentions and could only wait and see how things unfolded.

"Whether the Long Night will descend with the White Walkers, I cannot say for sure!"

Mansgaard said in a serious tone:

"But everyone knows the story of how the First Men, led by Azor Ahai, wielding the burning sword 'Lightbringer,' ultimately defeated the White Walkers and ended the Long Night!"

He walked to the last remaining small open space and stared intently at everyone.

After everyone avoided eye contact with him, Mans suddenly turned around and pointed at Lynn with the hand that wasn't holding the sword.

"Lynn Morningstar, the 'Child of the Stars,' arrived by ship from the sea of ​​stars. You all witnessed the fiery meteor that day!"

"Magna of Theon, favored by the gods, witnessed the 'Son of the Stars' wielding a burning sword and slaying the White Walkers!"

Mans looked at Casa, who stood up without hesitation and said:

"In the name of the gods, I have sworn a blood oath to forever follow the Child of the Stars!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

The Thrones are known to all wildlings for their strength; they never submit to anyone, a feat that no king of the Wildlands could ever achieve.

Once the discussion had subsided slightly, Mance immediately pressed his advantage:

"God is weeping and shedding tears."

He pointed to the top of the tent, in the direction of the red comet in the night sky.

"He foresaw that his people would suffer, so he gave them a new 'Lightbringer,' the reincarnation of Azor Ahai."

He was born with his dragon, the "Blood-Weeping Star," and will lead the free people against darkness!

"Look at the color of that dragon, it's the same crimson as a comet! He doesn't want us to kneel, he promises us land and wealth, his only requirement is our follower and loyalty!"

As Mans spoke, he opened his arms and circled them, seemingly waiting for a response.

After several days of persuasive rhetoric, Mans felt the time was ripe for a showdown. He first reasoned with them about survival, then lured them with the promise of rewards from Lynn's meritocratic system, effectively convincing some of them.

Just as the leaders who had conspired with Mans were about to stand up in response, Lynn stood up first.

He felt a little resentful towards Mans for pulling this stunt without prior notice, but he also vaguely guessed Mans's intentions.

In fact, Lynn wasn't entirely unprepared.

He walked over to Mans and took Afuin's broken sword.

No one noticed that in the blink of an eye, both Lynn's and the dragon's eyes turned milky white. Although the possession lasted only a moment, it was enough for him to convey accurate commands to Bloodshed.

As Lynn raised the broken sword, Qi Xue suddenly raised his head and spat out an extremely incandescent and condensed flame. The scorching air instantly churned, forcing those in front to scream and retreat.

The broken sword melted almost instantly, and the molten steel dripped onto the trampled fur carpet, quickly burning through it and adding a new acrid smell to the already unpleasant air inside the tent.

The spacesuit gloves' robust fire-resistant and heat-insulating capabilities shielded Lynn from all the scorching heat.

"Sorry, I burned your carpet."

Lynn smiled at Mans and then casually tossed aside the flaming wooden hilt, instead drawing the Dark Sisters sword from his waist.

Another burst of dragon flame shot out, looking exactly the same as the previous one, but only Lynn knew that this flame was only a quarter of the heat of the previous one, and its overall shape was also relatively loose.

He wasn't sure if the Dark Sisters could withstand the full power of the dragon flames, so he didn't dare to take the risk, while Bloodlust could control the intensity of the flames.

Normally, the flames it breathes when roasting lamb are much weaker; otherwise, it would only produce a lump of charcoal.

But the others were unaware of this. They only saw the refined steel sword, which the crows treasured, melt instantly, while the "Star Child's" sword merely turned dark red, its countless fine patterns shimmering and shining brightly in the tent.

The terrifying heat caused everyone to shiver and scream, but Lynn, holding the blazing sword, remained calm on his face.

Just like the legendary Azor Ahai who wielded the flaming sword!

Perhaps intimidated by the power of the dragon flames, or perhaps frightened by Mans's words about the long night, in any case, when the first person to shout "Lightbringer" raised his fist, almost everyone else followed suit.

Even Mans didn't expect things to develop this way; the ending was far better than he had anticipated.

At the same time, he had to admit that Lynn's "performance" was indeed breathtaking, and the timing was just right.

In comparison, his forte, public speaking, can only be considered a passable prelude.

The enthusiastic atmosphere lasted for a long time.

Lynn was not pleased with the support of the crowd, but instead carefully observed and was puzzled to find that even the "Six-Form Man" Valamir, whom he hated the most, was full of fanaticism and acted more enthusiastically than most people.

It seems that barbarism and superstition are indeed always intertwined; no wonder the Thane people revered him as a god the moment they met him.

But this also brought Lynn a new problem—if those people who had been "dead" in Lynn's mind were too loyal, it would be difficult to deal with them ruthlessly in the future.

To put it bluntly, it's like a person raising a vicious dog. Even if the vicious dog does bad things outside, its unwavering loyalty to its owner makes it difficult for the owner to punish it severely.

He suspected that Mans did it on purpose.

After the elaborate ritual of charlatanry orchestrated by Mance concluded, Lynn's new title—"Guardian of all living beings in Westeros"—began to circulate in the wildling camps, but many found it too long and cumbersome to pronounce, so they continued to call him "Son of the Stars."

Lynn didn't care about any title, as long as the plan could be implemented smoothly, he was fine with being called Tormond's nickname "The Boast King".

With Lynn's influence as a guarantee, Mans's recruitment plan was finally launched.

Although there were still many bumps and unexpected difficulties, at least the young and strong people of all ethnic groups were brought together.
