Chapter 335: The Movement of the Alien Legion
With the constant threat of the Alien Legion on the Great Wall of Desperation, Li Nan did not dare to start a war with the Lannister family, so the soldiers he brought were only used to intimidate.
Although Li Nan didn't want to spend his troops attacking King's Landing, which was strong, it was easier to clean up the infamous Frey family by the way.
After leaving King's Landing, the 20,000 cavalry did not return north, but marched to the northwest of the Riverlands, sweeping the Frey's castles and territories along the way.
Under Li Nan's strict orders, the army did not harass the people of Hewandi, and now there is nothing to rob in the homes of the civilians.
After breaking through some large cities such as Pink City, Acorn Hall and Rushing River, the Frey men who were hiding inside were directly killed, and the women and surrendered soldiers were all captured and brought back to the north.
The army of the northern border, which returned with thousands of prisoners, hurried north, passed through the Neck Ze Heavenly Danger, and returned to the northern territory, and Li Nan and everyone were relieved.
Accompanied Arya to cut down the enemy Wad in the ancestral mound. After Frey, along with the heads of dozens of his sons, Li Nan led the people back to Winterfell.
Li Nan has experienced several adventure worlds, but the people who have subdued them are some martial arts masters, and there are no talents who are good at governing the territory country, this time there is finally an ugly image but a talented Tyrion, and he did not hesitate to hand over the internal affairs of the entire northern territory to him.
Tyrion grew up reading and was considered talented, but because he was a dwarf, he was discriminated against by his father and sister.
Although the youngest son of the Lannisters, Tyrion was only responsible for the menial construction of sewers in Castle Rock, and if it weren't for the fact that Duke Tywin was so unavailable that he was sent to King's Landing to temporarily serve as the Hand of the King, I am afraid that the world would not know what he was capable of.
Tyrion, who had been despised by everyone for a long time, now had the great trust of Li Nan, and even handed over the entire northern territory to him, and in order to repay this kindness, after a long journey, he threw himself into work without even taking a break.
At present, the North faces two great problems, the first is the army of Strangers marching to the Great Wall of Desperation in the Land of Eternal Winter.
The second is that a long winter is coming, and according to past history, each winter is followed by as little as three years and as many as ten years, which requires everyone to be well prepared.
According to Tyrion's arrangement, the male captives of the Frey family went to the mountains and forests with the northerners to cut and hunt, while the female captives collected various crops and prey from the forests in the city.
All the troublesome chores were running smoothly in Tyrion's hands, and after a few days of observation, Li Nan left Winterfell with peace of mind and headed straight for Castle Black.
According to the speed of the Alien Legion, Li Nan and the others expected that they would almost come to the Great Wall of Despair, so they hurried back, but according to the flying bird reconnaissance controlled by the Shapeshifter, the Alien Legion was still wandering near the Fengsheng Gorge.
Li Nan gathered all the generals stationed in Castle Black, and everyone gathered together to discuss this strange matter.
Li Nan, who was in the first seat, said to everyone: "Why is the Alien Ghost Legion delayed coming, and what do you think, tell me." ”
Sir Thorne, the acting commander of the Night's Watch, touched the short beard under his chin and said, "The strange spirits also have intelligence, could it be that they don't dare to come after they know that the Great Wall of Despair has a serious illness defense?" ”
The short, stout savage Tormund objected, "The strangers control as many as a million ghouls, and they shouldn't be afraid of our 100,000-odd people. ”
The Onion Knight thought seriously for a while, and suddenly said, "Could it be that the strange ghost is waiting for something?" ”
"Wait?" Li Nan was very interested in his thoughts, and hurriedly asked, "Sir Davers, what do you think they are waiting for?" ”
Davers, the onion knight, came to the hall, next to the newly made Seven Kingdoms terrain sand table, stretched out his hand and pointed to the edge of the northern map and said: "It is very cold outside the fortress, it is said that the temperature of the land of eternal winter can freeze all creatures to death, but the strange ghosts come from there, which proves that they are not afraid of the cold......"
When Davers said this, Li Nan immediately understood what he meant: "You mean that the Alien Legion will wait for the arrival of winter?" ”
"That's right, my lord is clever!"
Seeing that the others were still a little confused, Davers explained to them: "The strangers are not afraid of cold temperatures and blizzards, but we humans are afraid. So I estimate that when winter comes, millions of strange ghosts and ghouls will take the opportunity to attack the Great Wall, and we will have more trouble defending against it. ”
Sir Davers's words relieved the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Everyone didn't expect that these aliens and the army of ghouls they controlled were not only staggering in number, but also had such a strategy, which made everyone exude a cold chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Nan summoned the leader of the Shapeshifter team, Wa Er, and asked, "Have you observed the trajectory of the Alien Legion's actions in the Wind Sound Gorge?" ”
"Of course, I recorded it all."
Var replaced the movement trajectory of the Alien Legion with some red threads, which were then marked on the sand table.
After carefully observing for a few minutes, Li Nan beckoned, "You all come over and take a look." ”
Everyone came to the sand table table, and everyone looked at the red line that covered the north of Fengsheng Gorge, and they couldn't figure out the purpose of the Alien Legion in doing this.
The people of the north are more than brave, but they are not resourceful, Li Nan reminded: "Strange spirits can not only control dead humans, they can also control animals......"
"Shhh Everyone who heard the meaning of Li Nan's words gasped in unison.
Ser Thorne asked in surprise, "Lord Leo, do you mean that the Alien Legion has not arrived for the time being, except to wait for the coming of winter, and to control all the people and animals outside the Cypriots?" ”
"Alas!" Li Nan let out a long sigh and said, "I'm afraid that's the case." ”
The savages such as Tormund and Warr were more familiar with and understood the situation outside the Saiwai than the people of the North, where there were not only hundreds of savage tribes, but also a large number of mammoths, ice bears, ice wolves, and other lethal animals. If all of these animals turned into ghouls, the number of undead legions would double.
Seeing everyone's sad faces, Li Nan knocked on the table and attracted everyone's attention, and then said, "The current situation is very unfavorable for us, so I'm going to take Var, Tormund, and Marge, the leader of the giants, to the outside of the Saiwai. ”
Hearing Li Nan's decision, everyone was shocked, and Docott, Ruiwen and other followers hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, you can't go to Saiwai, it's a strange world now, it's too dangerous." ”
"It's okay, I have the Flying Eagle to control the Eagle, as long as I don't get close to the range of action of the Alien Legion, it's fine."
The Onion Knight also persuaded: "Lord Leo, you are now the king of the North, if you have an accident, then the entire North will fall apart, and no one can bring so many people to their hearts." ”
Sir Thorne said, "Sir Davers is right, you can't do anything outside the Fortress, so why take the risk?" ”
There are some things that Li Nan won't tell so many people, but everyone is very concerned about their own safety, which makes Li Nan feel good about himself, and immediately smiled: "Hehehe, you don't have to worry about my comfort, I will definitely be careful when I go." ”
Li Nan in the entire northern border now has the highest status and status, and everyone only has the right to suggest but not to decide, so in the end, Li Nan still took a team of people to Saiwai.
Just as Li Nan led the people out of the desperate Great Wall and headed for the north, there was even greater chaos in King's Landing in the south......
