Two days later, at the crossing of the Green Fork, a detachment of Klegane cavalry, an archer, led by Angey, appeared.

Several ferries parked by the river immediately rowed to the east bank.

The cavalry had no intention of robbing the ferry, and they camped slowly by the river.

Soon another cavalry arrived, still archers, led by Julie Cregan, and set up camp again.

On the other side, Luce Burton, who had adopted the tactic of 'waiting for the change', had already received the news, and he ordered the soldiers to prepare for evacuation.

Soon after, the Magic Mountain himself arrived with the heavy cavalry of the Cregan and set up camp by the river.

Before the cavalry of the Clegane had set up camp, the northern scouts had reported the news to Lusboton and all of them had returned to the east shore by boat, and the few small boats left at the ferry were also Luthporton's men.

Seeing the heavy cavalry also present, Lusbolton ordered the whole army to retreat quickly.

So, more than 10,000 soldiers took action, and the sound of horses' hooves, horns, cursing, the cries of cattle and sheep, the clashing of swords, the friction of armor, and the shouts of centurions all sounded.

An hour later, Luthburton's logistical corps began to retreat, followed by heavy infantry, pikemen, light infantry and militia.

All the camps raised their banners and retreated to the north.

As Lusbolton expected, many large and small ships appeared in the upper and lower reaches of the Trident River, and the infantry of the Magic Mountain began to appear in formations.

Seeing that the army of the Magic Mountain seemed to be pouring out, the generals on the other side accelerated their retreat. Time is a good thing, and things don't change in time, and Luthbolton finally waited for the desired result: let the magic mountain cross the river to attack them.

When the two armies face each other, one side must lose its breath first.

The large and small ships of the Magic Mountain came to the ferry, and the archers began to cross the river.

After the break, Maggie Mormont ordered the infantry on Bear Island to retreat on a rapid march.

She didn't want to be bitten by the light cavalry of the Magic Mountain. The hussars pursued the infantry, and that was a massacre.

Maggie Mormont was originally brave, but unfortunately the commander of the army, Luce Bolton, retreated first, and the fighting spirit of the army was shaken the most strongly.

In the last Battle of the Green Fork, the Northerners suffered heavy infantry losses due to the lack of cavalry against the enemy's cavalry, but Luce Burton's infantry suffered almost no casualties, much to the displeasure of Maggie Mormont.

Her Bear Island was already small in population, and this time all the warriors poured out, with a total of less than seven hundred, but they lost more than two hundred in the last battle. If everyone fights to the death, there is nothing to say about the death of all the men in Maygie Mormont. But Luce Bolton ran away first as the manager, and Maggie decided not to stay last.

The archers of the Magic Mountain are very powerful, and they have been verified in the last battle. The archers of the Westlands also had slightly different armor on their right shoulder, and the distance they could shoot with their bows and arrows was also longer.

Maggie Mormont's furious march was already tall and majestic, with good endurance and physical strength, and soon Maggie's broken soldiers surpassed the infantry of Mandalay at White Harbor, and soon surpassed the infantry of Count Fillint.

When everyone saw that Maggie Mormont, who was in charge of the broken end, did not move forward, they refused to lag behind, so the chief general and the centurion ordered their soldiers to march quickly. Everyone chased after me, and the team suddenly became chaotic. Fortunately, on both sides of the King's Road were wide marchable meadows, and everyone dispersed, and at this time it was no longer a retreat array, but a chaotic situation of fleeing forward, like a rabble.

If Luce Bolton had broken off on his own, the ranks would not have collapsed with a retreating military operation. finally waited for the active attack of the Magic Mountain, but everyone was confused because of Luce Burton's wise decision to go first.

The infantry in the middle was originally orderly, but they were affected by the chaos behind, and some soldiers began to throw things from their bodies to reduce the weight on their bodies, so that the morale of the army quickly collapsed.

In the end, the Northern Army could no longer distinguish who was the front army, who was the middle army, and who was the rear army, and everyone ran wildly.

When the two teams of archers of Angay and Julie crossed the river, the northern army dropped countless spears, helmets, armor, cloaks and tents along the way.

This is no longer a retreat, but a throw-away armor and an escape. On the way, soldiers from the north trampled on each other, killing dozens and wounding hundreds.

Angay and Julie led the archers to hold down the position first, and the second to come was the Magic Mountain and his heavy cavalry, and then a kilogram of Ligan infantry and a grain collection team of five hundreds.

Unhurried, the soldiers packed up what the northern army had left behind, piled it up into a hill, and then sent it out to transport it across the river.

As soon as they went, it was getting late, and the troops set up camp.

The next day, instead of going north to pursue the 'deserted' northern army, the cavalry and infantry marched south after the former cavalry broke off, sweeping all the villages they could see.

The Magic Mountain formed a formation of homeless villagers and members of the 500 grain cutting team of the Cregan to go down to the fields to harvest all the crops in the lower reaches of the Trident River, whether it was wheat, rice, millet, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and all kinds of fruits. The hundreds of stolen boats of all sizes down the river were responsible for transporting grain, vegetables and fruits to the opposite bank, and on the opposite bank, there was a convoy of 500 logistics and soldiers responsible for carrying grain, vegetables and fruits back to Harrenhal in a circular manner, and the highest commander of the team was Mark of the Notepad.

The law enforcement team led a team of 100 people to supervise the villagers and the grain collection team, and followed them all the way. Rolger and Fangs were responsible for protecting the villagers from the women and the men.

Ten days later, Magic Mountain led his army south along the river, passing through fields and farms, and the river of the Trident widened abruptly, the water flow slowed down, and the smell of salt replaced the smell of trees in the air. In the fields and on the farms, ripe crops sway in the wind.

Moshan led the army into the village, drove all the villagers out, let the old man take care of the children, gathered all the teenagers and adults, first robbed everything in the village, and then set fire to it, so that the villagers no longer had 'worries'. Subsequently, hundreds of villagers and hundreds of grain collection teams, totaling more than 1,000 laborers, went to work in the fields and harvested all the crops that could be seen.

The heavy cavalry team unloaded its armor and turned into a grain transport team, responsible for transporting all the things that could be used, such as grain, iron, and other things, to the river and carry them onto the boats.

Angay and Julie patrol the rear in case of the sudden appearance of the Luthburton Army to the north and the Vale Army to the east.

Although Lustbolton's team seems to have abandoned their armor and fled without a fight, the Mountain believes that it is likely the result of Lustburton's design, and he wants the Mountain to attack, but instead of attacking, the Mountain will go down the river to harvest crops and plunder the population.

Fortunately, since the grain snatching operation, I have only seen the scouts of the people in the north, and as long as the archers of the Demon Mountain move, those scouts will flee when they hear the news.

One night, Magic Mountain led the light cavalry of Angel and Julie for nearly a hundred miles and raided a small town: Yanchang Town. It is a small town in the middle of the Trident River basin into the sea bay, and the only town in the lower reaches of the Trident River, the town is prosperous and wealthy, producing sea salt for the eastern part of the river and the western part of the valley, and is also a small maritime trading port.

A castle rules the town, but it is as small as a common manor, with an outer courtyard and curtain wall surrounding a tall square castle. There are many shops, inns and pubs around the pier. The Magic Mountain raided the place in the early hours of the morning, and while the knights of the town were still asleep, the swords of the Mountain and the soldiers rested on their necks.

Basically, there was no resistance, and the town was easily taken by the Magic Mountain. The town is near the sea, there are salt pans, and the east of the town's port is Crab Bay. More than a dozen merchant ships in the port were also seized by Magic Mountain. These merchant ships flew strange flags, most of them from across the Narrow Sea.

The Devil Mountain ransacked the wealth of the town lords, put to death all the knights who dared to disobey, he ordered the salt people of the town to continue to engage in production, the owners of shops, inns and taverns saved the lives of their families and their own family wealth after swearing allegiance to the Magic Mountain, and the guests of the inn and tavern were also gathered and released one by one after being examined by the Magic Mountain, and all the guests who might report to the Valley were hanged in the town square.

After dealing with the affairs of the town's natives, it's time for the merchant ships in the town's harbor.

Magic Mountain summoned all the captains to a meeting, inquired about their origins, their trade, and where they were to return, and he had an in-depth conversation with some of the trembling captains, and the conversation was rich, but mainly about food and women, and of course gambling and trade.

Magic Mountain asked the captains for a guarantee that they would come to Saltworks again to do business, saying that he had taken over Saltworks and did not want Saltworks to lose their overseas trade business. The captains took an oath of promise in the name of the sea god in front of the magic mountain, and in the end, the magic mountain accepted the captains' banquet and gifts, and then released the merchant ships one by one in the order of priority.

The last to depart were the merchant ships of the sea, laden with mead wine and some hides from the riverlands and valleys. The merchant ship had two layers of oars, a gilded bow and three tall masts, with purple sails rolled up and the hull painted purple.

Although the captain stood at the bow of the ship and raised his hand to salute Moshan, Moshan knew that this guy wanted to leave here immediately, because if he was calm, he would not order the oarsmen on both floors to row together, he just relied on the power of the sail. It's tailwind right now.

A sailor rolls barrels of honey on the deck and rolls them to the entrance of the lower deck, while another worker stacks the honey into the lower cabin of the merchant ship.

"Who are you?" the sailor removed a keg of meadow and saw a short-haired wild boy. He was pretty sure there was no such little boy on board.

This little boy is none other than Arya Stark.

The Magic Mountain crossed the river to sweep the eastern bank of the Trident, raiding the population, harvesting grain, and sending Arya to the merchant ships of Braavos without knowing it.

Arya couldn't understand what the sailor was saying. The merchant ship came from Braavos, and the returning voyage was also Braavos, and the sailor was also a native of Braavos and spoke the native language of Braavos.

Sailors do not know the lingua franca of Westeros.

"Shhhhh

"Who the hell are you?" the sailor reached for a stick, but he was bluffing. Arya's sewing needle pressed against his chest, moving incredibly fast.

"Don't, don't, don't!" the sailor's face turned pale with fright.

The sewing needles had pierced his skin, blood oozing out, and Arya's hands were steady and her eyes were cold.

This kid can kill! The sailor made the right judgment!

"Captain!" cried the sailor.

The captain had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the figure of the magic mountain on the shore had become farther and smaller, and they were safe. Although he saw that the other ships had left unharmed, the Demon Mountain was too vicious, and the burly body, the huge sword, the terrible arms, and the sickle-like eyes all made the captain feel uneasy.

The captain is afraid of the Magic Mountain!

"What's the matter?"

"There's a little boy here!"

"Bring him here!" cried the captain.

"Captain, it's better for you to come here!" the sailor did not dare to move. He had seen the eyes of this wild boy many times, the kind of eyes that only murderous mercenaries and pirates had.

The captain strode over, and saw a little boy, but it was actually a little girl, who restrained his big sailor with a small spiked sword.

"I'm the captain," he said, "what do you want to do? ”

"I think ......" Arya swallowed the words 'Go to Braavos' suddenly and inexplicably, "...... Go to the North...... Go to the Great Wall. Look, I can pay. She gave him the purse, and the needle was out of the big man's chest, but not unsheathed, so that the big man might suddenly grab the stick and beat her, and she had learned a lot from this time, "The night watchman has a castle by the sea. ”

Why do you say go out to the Wall? Why do you say go out to the castle by the sea? Is it because of my brother Jon Snow?

Definitely!

In the dead of night, Arya often thinks of Jon Snow, who is Arya's best brother despite being an illegitimate child, and the sewing needle is a gift that Jon gave her when he was separated from her.

In fact, isn't she longing to go home?

The most correct place is to go to White Harbor and then travel upstream through the Whiteblade River back to Winterfell.

The Magic Mountain designed to send Arya to Braavos, and although Arya was successfully on board, she changed her mind on the impromptu basis. She didn't go to Braavos, she wanted to go home and have a look before she went.

"Donghai Wang. The captain poured the silver coin into his palm and frowned, "Little girl, is that the only money?" The captain knew that the name of the castle where the night watchman was by the sea was 'Tokaibo'

The captain of the ship could see at a glance that Arya was a girl, and that his eyes were accurate and poisonous.

Arya tightened the needle in her hand, and she was seen by the captain that it was a girl, which was dangerous. And the big sailor was visibly confused.

"I don't live in a cabin or something," she said, "just sleep in the cargo hold below, or ......."

"Take her with you as a boat prostitute," said a passing oarsman, who carried a bundle of woolen cloth on his shoulder, "and she could sleep with me." ”

"Watch your tongue. The captain scolded.

"I can work," said Arya, "scrubbing the deck or something, I've wiped the stairs, washed the dishes, swept the floor, or I can ...... in the castle."

"No," said the captain, "you don't have enough strength. He returned the silver coins to her. "Even if you could, it wouldn't work, kid. We don't go to the north, where there is only snow and ice, war and pirates. As I walked around the Crab Claw Peninsula, I saw a dozen Reese pirate ships heading north, and I didn't want to run into them again. We're heading home from here, and I suggest you go home too. ”

Arya remembered the words of the Magic Mountain: "Arya, you can't go home, there will be something wrong when you go home." No one knows for sure what the war will win or lose, and if Stark is defeated in the future, but as long as there is one wolf, those sheep will not be safe, even if it is a lion, they are afraid of the Icewolf. Winter is coming, Arya, you have the blood of a wolf in your veins, you are an ice wolf. ”

"Kid, we're going to dock at Seagull Town ahead, you have to get off the boat and leave!"

"What kind of ship is this, my lord?"

He smiled wearily at her, "This is the three-masted 'Daughter of the Titans', from the free trade city-state of Braavos. ”

Braavos! Braavos! Braavos! Well, Braavos!

"Well, I'm going to Braavos. ”

The captain was stunned for a moment, and then looked helpless: "Okay, your boat fare is not enough, child!"

"I've got this!" Arya reached into her underwear, the coin was in her underwear for safety, so she had to pull it out of the depths.

The captain looked at Arya, and the workers and sailors who carried the honey grew around. Everyone pointed at each other, and the most talked about was that they didn't believe that this wild boy was actually a girl.

"It doesn't make a difference if you have one more silver coin, kid. The captain said patiently.

"It's not a silver coin," her hand touched it, "it's an iron coin." To give. She placed it in the palm of his hand, and it was Jakunhegal's small black iron coin, on which the figure was worn out of shape. It may be worthless, but ......

The captain flipped it over, looked at it in amazement, and turned his gaze back to her. "This ...... How could it be ......?"

Arya remembered that Jaquin had taught her to speak that sentence, and that the Magic Mountain had told her repeatedly, and just last night, the Magic Mountain had asked her to repeat it several times.

So Arya clasped her arms to her chest: "Everyone dies," she read aloud, pretending to know what it meant.

"Mortal mortal mortal!" replied the captain, two fingers touching his eyebrows, "all men must serve! All right, child, your boat fare is waived, and I will take you to Braavos, you will not have to work, and no one on this ship will dare to trouble you, and you will have a separate cabin. ”

Arya couldn't hide her surprise that the small iron coin was worth more than the golden dragon and the silver deer.

The next moment, the captain solemnly handed the iron coin back to her: "It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 'Daughter of Titans', child!"

"It's my pleasure too, Captain, thank you. Arya was amazed and delighted. She thought that if she paid the iron coin, the iron coin would be the captain, but the captain didn't even want the iron coin, he didn't want anything, and sent Arya to Braavos for free, and besides, there was a separate room.

It's amazing!

On the dock, Moshan looked at the big merchant ship in the distance with a blank expression, but his heart was overturned. He tried not to change the original trajectory of the world, lest the butterfly effect cause the world to deviate too far from the original trajectory, and then his control would be miscalculated due to the unknown. However, in Arya's affairs, he intervened again.

He advanced Arya's path as an Assassin by a considerable amount of time, and intervened to pave her way to Braavos.

The North is now very strong on the surface, but in fact it is dangerous!

Because the northern army is moving south and the north is empty, the Iron Islands, which have been secretly allied with Duke Tywin, will take the opportunity to land on the west coast of the north and attack the city of Toruń, the territory of Hetttaauha. Theon Greyjoy, Eddard Stark's adopted son and titular Young Master of the Iron Islands, will betray his boss Robb Stark and lead the Iron Breed in an assault on Winterfell and a killing spree. Winterfell, with no troops and no defenses, will fall.

Magic Mountain remembered that he had actually reminded Eddard Stark twice.

The first reminder that the mountain told Ed not to continue to investigate the cause of Jon Arryn's death, which would kill all the guards and servants in his prime minister's tower, and would also cause him to fall into a dungeon and lose his life, but Eddard did not listen.

The second time, after rescuing Eddard from the dungeon, the Demon Mountain told him to focus all his forces on the north, one for Winterfell's own defenses and the other for the Desperate Wall, because winter is approaching and the White Ghost is coming. Judging from the information returned so far, no northern army has returned to the north, and Ed obviously did not heed the advice of the magic mountain again.

The combined forces of the North and the Riverlands, led by Robb and Eddard, will defeat the Westlanders in the Red Fork River and the lands of the West, so that Tywin has no power to fight back, which is what the Magic Mountain likes to see, and when the forces of the princes of the West are constantly weakened, it is the most beneficial to the Magic Mountain.

However, when the city of Toruń in Hettaauha is taken by the Iron People, and when Theon Greyjoy takes Winterfell, everything will be quickly reversed.

The Magic Mountain released two butterflies that changed the trajectory of the world to Eddard Stark, but Eddard Stark was not sensitive enough to grasp it, and the fate of the North and the Stark family could only be handed over to the gods.

The Magic Mountain, on the other hand, will have all the grain that can be harvested in the Trident River Valley, thanks to Tywin's westward march to attract almost all of the troops in the Riverlands, and thanks to Luce Burton, whose cautious and uncourageous character has always been very stable.

In order to preserve his strength, Luce Bolton has always refused to fight the Magic Mountain, but this is exactly what the Magic Mountain wants.

In fact, the Magic Mountain also needs to preserve its strength. If you want to fight, then you must win the battle big.

And for the next battle, the waiting time is not long!
