Just as Lynd was feeling puzzled by the situation before him, a subtle movement suddenly came from within the hall, and he turned his head to look.
He saw several figures staggering out from a corner not far away, then suddenly rushed forward, pouncing towards Lynd.
However, before the figures could get close to Lynd, they were instantly frozen into ice by the power of the Ice Dragon Rune.
"Wights?" Lynd looked at the ice sculptures and couldn't help but frown.
He saw that the eyes of these figures were silvery-blue, their faces had varying degrees of decay, and their skin was ice-colored; all these characteristics indicated that they should all be wights.
Lynd was certain that these wights were not present in this hall last time; clearly, these wights should be allied with the people who removed the altar, and from details such as the Iron Islands Ironborn clothing worn by the wights, it is not difficult to guess that these wights were very likely the Ironborn who left with Euron.
Lynd had always been pursuing Euron, but Euron was like a fish in the deep sea, always able to quickly hide after his whereabouts were exposed.
So all Lynd could do was blockade the Stepstones to prevent Euron from entering the Narrow Sea area, while on the west coast, Asha and her forces blockaded the coastal waters, and Oldtown and Arbor also cooperated with Lynd to blockade the Summer Sea.
However, even so, Euron was still able to reach Valyria, which means Euron very likely bypassed all blockades by circling through the unknown waters on the outer edge of the Sunset Sea to reach Valyria.
It is also possible that he has mastered a route westward from the Sunset Sea, circling half the world, and returning to Essos from Asshai on the other side of the world, just like Alyssa Farman did back then.
Looking at the wights before him, Lynd felt that there was big trouble.
Euron himself is not terrifying; even the current Asha can deal with him, but the real trouble is that the wights before him indicate that Euron has a way to bring wights from Beyond the Wall to any other place by sea; one or two wights are nothing, but if he uses the ships of his Iron Fleet to bring thousands of wights south of the Wall, then the destruction and impact on the world south of the Wall will be catastrophic.
However, what made Lynd fortunate was that for some unknown reason, the Others could not bypass the Wall in this way; perhaps it was the power of some law restricting them, or perhaps there was something in the ocean that made them wary, otherwise, all the years he and Willas had spent strengthening the Wall would have been in vain, and all places in the world would no longer be safe.
Just as Lynd was getting a headache in Valyria due to the sudden appearance of wights, far away on a hillside in the outskirts of Qarth, Daenerys, whose hair had been burned off, had recovered from the grief of her relatives' deaths; she gathered her subordinates in her tent to discuss what to do next, and beside her, three dragons played and frolicked, occasionally attracting the attention of the people in the tent.
Aggo, as Daenerys's Bloodrider, spoke first: "My blood of my blood, we should head west directly, plunder the cities along the way, seize enough wealth, and recruit enough men, only then can we help you obtain that Iron Throne."
In that great fire, Drogo and all his Bloodriders were burned to death; Aggo was one of the Bloodriders Daenerys selected from among many Dothraki, and also one of the Khals appointed by Daenerys.
He was formerly a master archer under Drogo, but his status was not very high, and he was not qualified to enter the tent to drink, which indirectly saved his life; after witnessing Daenerys's miraculous scene, he submitted to Daenerys and was extremely loyal to her.
"No!" Halton objected: "That great fire not only killed many Dothraki officers and generals, but also many captains of the Golden Company died in the fire; the army has not yet completed its integration, and we should not launch a war at this time, and now our provisions are also a big problem; based on our current reserves, we can barely last three days; launching another war under these circumstances would likely be disadvantageous to us."
Since young Aegon and Jon Connington were burned to death, Maester Halton, Septa Lemore, Ser Rolly Duckfield, and Obara Sand, who was sent by Prince Oberyn, all turned to follow Daenerys, becoming close retainers.
Aggo said disdainfully: "Three days of food is enough; we just need to plunder the food from the cities along the way."
"If we do that, we will have no foothold in this area." Halton retorted: "All the cities will resist us; they will hire other Khals to besiege us, and then we…"
