Chapter 140: Giants Attack the City

"Your Majesty." Hecarim saluted.

"You are more efficient than I thought. After transporting these supplies to the Black Castle, immediately head to the Last Hearth City. The giants are already preparing to attack the city."

"Understood, I'll speed it up."

"Um."

At this time, Jack looked at the red-robed woman next to Hecarim.

"Melisandre?" Jack asked curiously.

"You know me?" Melisandre asked in surprise.

"It is said that Stannis had a red-robed woman of extraordinary beauty by his side, but there was no woman by his side when Stannis was defeated by me."

Melisandre is very beautiful, with an oval face, red eyes and copper-red hair.

At the same time, Melisandre does not need to eat like ordinary people. She has gained her current strength over a long period of time, so her real age is much older than she looks.

Melisandre also believed that if a wizard appeared careless when casting spells, people would be more afraid of him, so she always used various means to hide the efforts she made when casting spells to make herself look more mysterious.

She often wears a red robe. Melisandre's robes and pockets are filled with various powders, which are used to manipulate fire to gain different powers, such as foreseeing the truth or even directly killing people.

Melisandre wears a gold necklace with rubies around her neck. When she manipulates magic, the rubies will glow with the magic.

Sometimes the spells would burn her as well.

After Daenerys's dragon was hatched, Melisandre's magical power also increased. Especially after she could no longer contact the Lord of Light, her magical power increased even faster, as if some shackles on her body had disappeared.

Melisandre completely believes in her own interpretation of the prophecy.

She has always firmly believed that Stannis is the reincarnation of Azor Ahai as prophesied by R'hllor.

She tells Stannis that he will gain the power to defeat the ancient gods, enemies of R'hllor.

However, these prophecies were broken, and along with them her faith was also broken.

Jack got off the dragon's back and then came to Melisandre and pinched her with his hands.

Finally, Melisandre couldn't stand it anymore and took a step back, but she threw a wink at Jack.

Melisandre is a devout believer in the Lord of Light, and in the original book she even tried to seduce Jon Snow to achieve her goals.

Jack rubbed his hands and said meaningfully, "I didn't expect you to be so resilient at your age. It's amazing."

Melisandre didn't know how Jack knew her age, but she smiled and said, "No matter how magical it is, it is not as magical as a dragon. Your dragon is as beautiful as jade."

"Hmph--" Korakshu proudly stretched out his wings to make himself look more majestic.

Melisandre looked at Carax curiously, "Your dragon seems different from the dragon I imagined."

Melisandre had seen three dragons in the prophecy, but none of them was as beautiful or majestic as the one before her.

Melisandre also noticed a detail, that is, Korax has five fingers, while the dragon in the language only has one finger.

Jack smiled modestly: "You are too kind. Dragons are not some magical species. They are just two-winged, two-legged reptiles that can breathe fire."

Jack stood up and returned to the dragon's back. "Hecarim, go back and put Melisandre under house arrest. Arrange at least four people to guard her. If she moves, shoot her to death with arrows."

Hecarim: "."

Melisandre: "."

From Jack's actions just now, Hecarim thought that Jack wanted to enjoy Melisandre first.

After all, Melisandre is very beautiful and exudes a sense of mystery, which makes men want to conquer her.

Jack drove the Korakshuu quickly to the Last Hearth City.

Plans can never keep up with changes. Half a year ago, he was planning to watch the show and make a fortune from the war when Daenerys attacked Westeros.

As a result, all plans changed completely after Daenerys became pregnant, especially after Daenerys named both children Poseidon, Jack became the busiest worker.

Jack has reason to suspect that all this is Daenerys's "conspiracy".

When they were in Meereen, he originally wanted to use the child to trap Daenerys, and then take Daenerys, herself and the three dragons into his possession.

But now I always feel like I'm being framed by Daenerys.

On the other side, the Sons of Winter led by Tormund have begun preparing to attack the city.

Hother Umber stood on the city wall and looked at the thousands of troops below with a grim expression.

After receiving the letter from Castle Black, Hother Umber sent a letter to Roose Bolton for help.

The Boltons did respond, but not to support Hother Umber.

Instead, he summoned his vassal states and nobles from the North who supported the Bolton family, and prepared to defeat Jack Poseidon who was heading south near the End River.

Hother Umber knew very little about what happened at the Wall. He only learned from the letter of surrender sent from the Wall that a dragon-riding Targaryen had subdued the wildlings and the Night's Watch, and then wanted to lead this group of wildlings and crows to support Stark in regaining control of the North.

It is true that the Targaryens were the royal family before, but no matter what, now the one sitting on the Iron Throne is the Baratheon, with the support of the Lannisters.

So Hother Umber launched a coup, gained actual control of Hearth City, and decided to rely on the Bolton family, who had the support of the Lannisters.

At this time, Hother Umber also realized that the Bolton family was unreliable, so he had to go to the city wall himself to command the defense of the city.

Originally, Hother Umber thought that the wildlings had no siege equipment and that Hearth City could block the wildlings' attack.

But after seeing the two giants in the Sons of Winter lineup, Hother Amber began to worry again.

He didn't expect that the legend of giants was true. According to legend, the Amber family even had giant bloodline.

The Greatjon is 2.1 meters tall, and his son Littlejon is a head taller than him.

Likewise, Hosher Amber was not small in stature.

"Move the stones here quickly and be careful of those two giants." Hother Amber immediately arranged for people to move stones to defend the city.

Tormund decided not to wait any longer, as any further delay would be enough to demoralize him.

Then, at Tormund's command, two giants in armor came out.

Two giants over three meters tall stretched their muscles, then roared and rushed towards the wooden door of the Fireplace City.

Seeing the giant rushing towards the city gate, Hother Umber shouted, "Shoot, archers, shoot."

Dozens of archers drew their bows and shot arrows, but the rain of arrows hit the giant's armor and did not cause any damage.

Giants can grow to more than three meters tall, so they must have strong bones and muscles to support them.

A hole was instantly dug out at the gate of Hearth City, and then a giant in armor appeared in the eyes of the defenders behind the gate.

The giant didn't care about these stunned humans. He just picked up the bolt and pulled out the huge bolt with sudden force.

After the city gate was opened, the defenders finally reacted and quickly picked up their weapons and rushed towards the giant, trying to retake the city gate.

But the giant who had already entered would not give them a chance and directly picked up the mace behind him.

Jack did not make a two-handed mace for the giant, but a one-handed mace modified from a baseball bat. Considering the giant's intelligence, it would be more convenient for him to hit the "gopher" with one hand holding the mace.

For example, the human who rushed forward now would be smashed into a bloody mess in an instant.
