"But in the end, Cersei chose to marry Euron Greyjoy, the Iron King, and went to the Iron Islands. She has now shed her title as queen and become the Lady of the Governor of Pyke."
Tyrion shook his head and spoke.
"I heard she's pregnant again."
Chapter 798 Repairing the Great Wall
End of Aegon 299, 7th year of the Gregorian calendar.
The juncture of the century.
"Ho-"
Under the cover of night, a deep, resounding dragon roar echoed over King's Landing as Viserys rode his dragon back from the north, returning to the empire's capital.
After careful consideration, he decided to leave Reyne and Daenerys at the Wall, though he was worried that the White Walkers might use a diversionary tactic to lure him away and that he couldn't bear to leave his two wives to face the Night King.
However, there is no better solution at the moment. If only one dragon knight stays at the Great Wall, it will be even more dangerous. It would be better to have two people to look after each other.
After a heart-to-heart talk, Viserys and Daenerys resolved their inner conflicts. Daenerys let go of her concerns, and Viserys also emerged from his mental turmoil.
He promised to marry Daenerys and, after that night in the cave, returned to the Wall and held a low-key wedding ceremony under the Heart Tree, witnessed by the soldiers of the North.
Viserys married his third queen in a rather low-key manner.
In the following months, Viserys began working to repair the gaps in the Wall.
He adopted the method used by the Valyrians to build the Blackstone structures, which was offered by the red monk Machiro, and melted the stubborn stone with the dragonfire of the three dragons, Belerien, Rego, and Viserion.
Then, he used special techniques to integrate the black magic he possessed into the molten rock, turning it into pieces of black stone. With the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of imperial soldiers, it took several months to finally fill the gap in the collapsed section of the Wall.
When the last black boulder was transported by crane from beneath the Great Wall to the seven-hundred-foot-high ramparts, and then lowered into the final breach by rollers and sleds, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the northern frontier of the empire, shrouded in the long night.
"Ohhhhhhh!"
Tens of thousands of imperial soldiers and nobles raised their arms and shouted, without class or barriers, they embraced each other in celebration, singing hymns, and the firelight in the dark night illuminated the entire sky.
This is the most exciting and celebratory event since the arrival of the Long Night.
The imperial soldiers stationed on the frontier also smiled, briefly letting go of their psychological burdens and cheering in celebration. After all, with the Great Wall repaired, people felt an extra precious sense of security.
In this day and age, even the faintest hope is worthy of celebration.
After the Wall was successfully repaired, Viserys used the skull of the white raven to artificially bring down a heavy rain.
However, the rain that fell from the sky turned into snowflakes before it even hit the ground. The snowflakes fluttered down and quickly enveloped the Great Wall that stood tall on the northern border of the empire.
The section of the Great Wall that had collapsed was restored to its former appearance overnight. The newly repaired wall was covered with thick frost, and it was impossible to tell that there had once been a huge gap.
"This is a miracle!"
The soldiers stationed at the Wall in the North and the elders of the Night's Watch were all amazed by the sight, exclaiming that it was a miracle. They never dreamed that the collapsed Wall could be restored to its former state.
Some believe it was the work of the ancient northern gods, others believe it was the work of the seven gods who saw the suffering of humankind, and still others believe in the Red God.
However, there is another group that started out small but is now increasingly aware of the power of human will to overcome nature and is growing stronger. They believe that under His Majesty the Emperor's leadership, the empire will surely emerge from the darkness and regain the light.
However, while Viserys was leading his three dragons and tens of thousands of soldiers through the biting cold to repair the Wall, another piece of good news also arrived.
That was the third mistress of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor's newlywed princess, now Queen Daenerys, who discovered she was pregnant while stationed at the Wall.
She had her first period more than a year ago, but Daenerys found that her period had not come since the second month after the last incident.
After their great-great-grandfather, Maester Aemon, determined that Daenerys was pregnant.
"it is good..."
"Okay... Little Dani."
The white-haired, blind old man couldn't stop smiling.
Not long ago, the Targaryen family had experienced their most critical moment of life and death. They lost the throne, and the Dragonstone fleet, which remained loyal to the Targaryen family, escorted a seven-year-old prince, his niece, the former crown prince's daughter, and his infant sister to another continent.
At that time, Maester Aemon even felt despair, believing that his family was on the verge of destruction, and he experienced the most intense wavering of his life regarding the oath he had always upheld.
But in the end, Maester Aemon upheld his oath.
With the passage of time and the changing of the world, perhaps no one could have imagined that the Targaryen family would emerge from their most perilous moment so quickly.
They reclaimed the Iron Throne and built an empire even greater than that of Aegon the Conqueror.
Moreover, the Targaryen family is rapidly recovering its population. Viserys, the head of the imperial family, is still young and in the prime of his life, yet he is already expecting his third child.
As the family grew in number, Maester Aemon was naturally delighted.
Although he had renounced his surname and made a sacred vow, his family was the blood in his veins, something he could never sever ties with, even though Maester Aemon was now nearing the end of his life, having lived to be a full one hundred and one years old.
Not long ago, Viserys and Daenerys went to the frontier and did not return overnight. Viserys then married Daenerys under the Heart Tree, and the little queen became pregnant the following month.
Everyone understood what had happened, but still offered their heartfelt blessings, including Viserys' second wife, Rhaenys Targaryen.
Reyne was lively and kind-hearted, and was the most innocent and guileless of Viserys' wives, so she was genuinely happy for Daenerys.
At this critical juncture, Daenerys was two or three months pregnant when Viserys received a letter from King's Landing. After some thought, he decided to temporarily return to the rear to see what these people wanted to talk about.
After learning that the White Walkers had appeared in Iban, Viserys decided to fly to the other side of the world to confront them.
But the news of Daenerys' pregnancy disrupted his plans.
Chapter 799 Leading Humanity
It was under these circumstances that Viserys, on the last day of the old century, rode his dragon back to King's Landing.
Tomorrow will be the year 300 of the Aegonian calendar, the 8th year of the New calendar, the first day of the new century. However, this is not the beginning of a good century. Human civilization is shrouded in darkness, and the future is bleak and unpredictable.
If humanity cannot replicate the glory of its ancestors and once again triumph over darkness, it may perish in this long, dark night.
It was with this dream of salvation that all the leaders or representatives of the Western world—the Sea King of Braavos, the Governor of Loras and his three princes, the priests and governors of Norfolk, the priests of the Cult of Corho, the governors of Valantis, the kingdoms of Salor and Ober, the messengers of the Forest Walkers of Ephraim, the representatives of the Dothraki, the governors and high lords of the three kingdoms of Myr, Rhys, and Tyresh, and so on...
They all came from the continent of Essos, across the Narrow Sea, and gathered in the rebuilt capital of the Valyrian Empire to convene a supreme council to save the world and discuss the future of humanity.
This was a significant meeting that will be recorded in history and written in bold strokes, and the stagnant state of King's Landing has become much more vibrant.
The main reason was that there were suddenly so many foreigners in King's Landing, and the city's garrison was maintaining order on the streets. News of such a large-scale operation had already leaked out.
People have high expectations for this meeting, after all, everyone hopes to unite and overcome the darkness. In the face of survival, all past conflicts can be temporarily put aside and cooperation can be carried out.
However, the negotiations did not proceed smoothly, mainly because the parties involved did not clearly define their obligations and responsibilities.
For example, the Wood People of the Kingdom of Everville, their race and nation are on the verge of extinction, because the lands invaded by the White Walkers have completely surrounded their homeland, and they can only barely manage to survive by relying on the forests.
The same applies to the Salor people of the Salor Kingdom and the kings and nobles of the Ober Peninsula; their nations and races are on the verge of extinction, and they are all at the point of fighting to the death.
But for the distant people of Volantis, they did not yet see the imminent danger. Although they could foresee the consequences if the situation was not controlled, Volantis was still too far away from the White Walkers, just like Dorne's attitude towards the White Walker invasion during the First War between humans and the White Walkers.
The Valantis, as the mistresses of the Summer Sea and one of the overlords of the continent of Essos, are only willing to take on very little responsibility, sending a small number of troops to participate in the battle, and are unwilling to contribute food.
In fact, the army could be sent out, but no one was willing to contribute food. After all, if the long night continued, these soldiers would die sooner or later. However, food was becoming increasingly scarce, and many people present were even planning to dig a cellar to survive the entire long night.
Therefore, the inability to unify the responsibilities and obligations of each faction naturally leads to endless disputes.
Braavos, on the other hand, was farsighted. The Braavos Sea King, the Keeper of the Iron Bank, and others could all recognize the consequences of being unable to stop the White Walkers from getting their way.
But people are still selfish, and when they actually asked Braavos to send their invincible fleet to attack Iban from the sea and cut off the White Walkers' retreat, the Braavos shook their heads faster than a rattle-drum.
However, the problem still needed to be solved. The wooden envoy of the Kingdom of Ifovilon was filled with anger. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and shouted.
"enough!"
"Gentlemen! While we are arguing here, our enemy is growing stronger!"
The Wood People were one of the most tragically affected nations after the White Walkers landed on Iban, second only to the Iban themselves.
Iban Island has been destroyed and transformed into a living hell, and the New Isles have become the last of the Iban. Instead of uniting to resist the invasion of the White Walkers and reclaim their homeland, they fled towards the Bone Mountains, hoping that the world to the east held the hope of continuing their race.
The Wood People, however, did not flee. Instead, they chose to fight the invaders to the death. Now, the Wood People's territory is surrounded by the Others, and they can only rely on magic in the forest to fight them. They are in danger of being wiped out at any time.
Therefore, the envoy from the Kingdom of Ifuron was naturally anxious and couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and speak loudly.
However, the words of the wooden emissary did have some effect. The Supreme Human Council was held in the throne room of the Red Keep, where envoys, governors and princes from various countries and city-states sat in chairs below, and the room quieted down considerably in an instant.
The people of Ifvellon are known as 'Forest Messengers' because they live in the forest like children of the forest and are said to possess forest magic.
But the Woodmen and the Children of the Forest in Westeros are two races that are somewhat similar but not the same. They are short but slightly taller than the Children of the Forest, with bark-like wrinkles on their arms and cheeks, green eyes, and wear leaves.
"Yes."
"While we are arguing here, the White Walkers are still devouring innocent lives to grow stronger."
Upon hearing this, Sea King Braavos calmed down considerably and turned to look at the representatives of the various countries and city-states present.
Everyone who had just been arguing heatedly had calmed down, but they were still unwilling to give up their own interests and pay a higher price.
At this moment, in the throne room of the Red Keep, bonfires burning beneath several stone pillars emitted light and heat, while Unsullied soldiers stood guard with cold expressions in this palace where many historical stories had taken place.
The protagonist of this Supreme Human Council, the young founding emperor of the Valyrian Empire, sat on that menacing throne in this palace. His figure swayed slightly in the firelight, and the throne beneath him gleamed with a metallic sheen.
The handsome young man with silver-gold hair wore a Valyrian steel crown, the ruby in the center radiating warmth. At this moment, his pale purple eyes were looking down at the chaos that had just occurred.
"We want to defeat the Long Night."
"Everyone must unite, or it will be a path to death..."
Viserys spoke, his voice echoing throughout the vast throne room, below whom stood numerous princes and governors from various nations and city-states, the wooden emissaries of the Kingdom of Ephraim, King Braavos, and others...
The hall fell silent instantly; no one made a sound, and some even took a deep breath and sat up straight.
"We are the light of the entire civilized world..."
"If even we lose, then the whole world is beyond saving!"
Even if they escaped to the Summer Islands and eked out a living...
Meanwhile, in a corner not far from Viserys, an academy scholar was frantically copying something, his heart pounding with excitement, not missing a single word Viserys had uttered.
Because he knew he was witnessing the birth of history...
Chapter 800 Forging the Dragon Spear
The princes and governors of the various kingdoms and city-states on the continent of Essos gathered in King's Landing to discuss ways to save the world, to define the responsibilities and obligations of each kingdom and city-state, and to unite against the common enemy of all mankind.
This was a meeting to save the nation from peril. At the beginning, there were arguments over long-standing interests, but the wooden messenger took the lead and then the emperor of the Valyrian Empire, the largest human nation at present, gave a speech that made everyone temporarily put aside their prejudices and conflicts of interest and unite together.
