Chapter 291 Burn Alive!

However at this time.

Another captive savage next to Mance Rader made a slip of the tongue while answering a question.

This made the thoughtful Stannis keenly aware of the other party's true identity.

Only then did he confirm that the tribal leader who seemed to be honest, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and expressed his willingness to lead the regular army to exterminate the savages, was Mance Reid, the king outside the Great Wall.

Then Stannis stopped giving Mance Redder a chance to continue his sophistry.

He led the remaining dozen or so soldiers to escort the King beyond the Great Wall and rushed to Winterfell to join his elder brother.

…

Stannis' return to Winterfell naturally caused a stir.

His eldest brother, Robert, went out of town to meet him in person, hugging each other tightly with tears in his eyes.

Although the two brothers were at odds with each other and often bickered and quarreled, they were, after all, brothers born and raised by their parents.

And Stannis, who was stinky and hard like a stone in the toilet, also blushed slightly.

Everyone at Winterfell thought Stannis was already dead.

And then.

Stannis then pulled out the King of Beyond the Wall, Mance Red, and told everyone his identity.

In the beginning, Eddard Stark and his elder brother Robert couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the King Beyond the Wall.

However, after repeated confirmation, the identity of the other party was finally determined.

Mance Rader was once a wildling orphan raised by the Night's Watch, and served many years in the Legion of the Night's Watch.

Afterwards, the defector fled the Night's Watch and returned to the wildlings, eventually uniting all the wildlings, quelling their disputes, and being elected as the King Beyond the Wall.

Therefore, some veterans of the Night's Watch can still recognize him, such as the living fossil of the Night's Watch, Maester Aemon.

The old maester was not killed when the walls fell, and his prestige among the Night's Watch was so high that he was desperately protected by many soldiers.

The escort eventually escaped to Winterfell, as did Jeor Mormont, commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch.

And Robert finally confirmed that the other party was really the legendary Queen Beyond the Wall, and was overjoyed.

You must know that the current corruption in the North is all because of this person. If he hadn't sounded the Horn of Winter, the Great Wall of Despair would not have collapsed, and the savages would not have flooded into the North.

However, at this time, including Robert, Eddard Stark, Stannis, Yon Royce of the Valley, and other self-proclaimed righteous people selectively forgot that the Savages had actively negotiated several times.

The savages kept lowering their conditions and stature, begging the king of the Seven Kingdoms to open the city gates and let the savages come to the Great Wall to avoid the pursuit of the White Walkers.

However, they were all arrogantly rejected by Robert.

Robert didn't believe that the wildlings had weapons that could destroy the city walls, so he took the words of the wildling emissary as fart.

Eventually lead to the current situation.

In order to survive, the wild people really blew the horn of winter and collapsed the Great Wall.

Then they fled into the north to do damage everywhere. They believed that these were the results of the arrogance of the people after the Great Wall, so they had to retaliate several times.

And now the real King Beyond the Wall was taken to Winterfell by Wu Hua Da.

Robert was naturally overjoyed to see the King Beyond the Wall captured alive, and immediately asked Mance Rader to order all the savages to surrender, or else they would burn him alive.

Robert was also provoked by the savage now. When had he been so wronged for so many years as the king, and his character had changed completely from the black-haired young man he used to be.

Eddard Stark wanted to dissuade Robert, arguing that the King Beyond the Wall was also a decent man after all, and that no one should be punished with cruel punishments, mainly torture.

The King Beyond the Wall commits a capital crime and can be sent to the gallows or beheaded, and burning the opponent alive is undoubtedly a replica of the tyrant Mad King Aerys II's behavior.

However, at this moment, Mance Reid, who has been silent since his identity was revealed, suddenly spoke to Robert.

He mocked that they would all die at the hands of the White Walkers, and that the Iron Throne would eventually be taken by the Targaryen king across the Narrow Sea.

Although Mance Red has been living outside the Great Wall, he unexpectedly knows the situation of the Seven Kingdoms very well.

And Mance Reid told Robert that he would not order the wildlings to surrender.

Because he told all the savages a long time ago that he was not a 'king beyond the frontier', and he did not want to be a king. He just united everyone to overcome difficulties together.

"They are all freemen!"

"No one can bring them to their knees!"

Mance Reid even spat a mouthful of phlegm into Robert's face, his face full of begging expressions.

And Robert was really irritated by Mance Reid's attitude, even if he wanted to burn the other party alive.

Eddard Stark and Stannis could see that Mance Red was deliberately trying to provoke Robert and seek the idea of ​​quick death.

So they hurriedly tried to stop the king, but it was impossible to stop them.

Furious, Robert even let the soldiers erect the stake and piled up the still withered grass under the stake, and then tied the King Beyond the Wall, Mance Red, to the post.

Holding a flaming torch in his hand, he asked one last time if the other party would like to surrender.

However, it still got ridiculed by Mance Rader.

In the end, Robert threw the torch into the dry grass in anger, and a fire broke out in an instant.

And Mance Red had not changed his face in the flames, and his eyes that seemed to eat people glared at everyone around him. For his people, he was willing to die calmly.

Because Mance Red is very clear that he has fallen into the hands of the king of the Seven Kingdoms, the other party will definitely use him to make a fuss about him, and use it to deceive other free people to lay down their weapons, or surround themselves with reinforcements.

He doesn't want more freedmen to die for his own reasons, so Mance Reader deliberately wants to provoke Robert to seek a quick death.

His plan succeeded.

Robert Baratheon was indeed an irritable man, and he hated the King beyond the Wall, and it would have been extremely gracious to give him a chance to live.

After being rudely refused, he directly asked to burn him to death.

However, Mance Rader underestimated the pain caused by burning alive, and the savage man still kept his face unchanged, and even glared at him.

However, when the flames burned to his skin, the water in his body quickly evaporated, the skin slowly shrunken and browned, and the flesh and blood were revealed.

His face changed.

The expression on Mance Reid's face gradually became distorted, and a painful moan squeezed out of the gap between his teeth.

In the end, the pain continued to magnify, making him unable to bear it any longer, and he let out a shrill scream.

His whole body was covered in flames, his mouth was wide open, flames were constantly emerging from his eyes and mouth, and the twisted and shrill screams constantly echoed over the entire Winterfell.

The three little Starks stood in the corridor on the second floor of the castle watching the blazing flames below.

Robb Stark's face was serious and meticulous, and Jon Snow's face showed unbearable.

And the red-haired little beauty Sansa was directly scared to cry, she had never seen such a terrible scene.

In the past, the fair and just father stood behind Uncle Robert just like that, watching a man burn alive without saying a word.
