The storm and snow cover the sky and the earth, so that everything in the world changes a color, and the cold brought by the wind and snow and low temperature makes people feel gloomy and depressing, making the uninhabited wilderness full of loneliness.

Wandering aimlessly, Jaime Lannister unwittingly rode to the Riverlands.

He didn't know why he went north.

Perhaps subconsciously, the monarch killer still cares about the world, not that he doesn't care about anything except his family, so he wants to know the battle situation on the other side of the Great Wall.

After passing the deserted Harrenhal and the frozen Lake of God's Eye, and approaching the frozen Trident River, the monarch killer found that there was a strange death air faintly emanating from the river.

This is a mysterious feeling, but it makes the alarm bell ring in his heart, and reminds him in his heart not to go north again.

But who is the king-killer?

How could you be frightened by a sudden ethereal feeling?

So, James Lannister rode west, asking for information about the nearest village.

Walking through the woods, which were withering due to lack of sunlight, the village in the memory of the monarch killer was now in ruins.

No matter how much they searched in the village, there was no one alive here, because they also needed food and warmth, so they had the courage to go deep into the river, and prepared to enter a castle at random to continue to inquire for information.

But I didn't expect it.

The small castle, with a wall five meters high, is being attacked by ragged strangers.

The strange people did not wear armor, or even use tools to siege the city, but climbed to the top of the city one by one, under the rain of arrows and falling rocks.

From afar, Jaime saw that even if the strange men were hit by arrows, struck by stones and logs, and slashed by swords, they could still fight bravely, and they seemed to be unaffected, and no one fell.

Also, the fallen soldiers on the city wall staggered to their feet after a while, and then frantically attacked their comrades, Ze Pao.

Such a scene was so bizarre that Jaime's scalp tingled when he saw it.

I wanted to turn the horse's head and leave here to change places, but I was unexpectedly discovered by a strange man on the right, who was rushing towards me with an axe with a hideous face.

If it was before, the dignified monarch killer would definitely draw his sword and teach this guy to be a man.

However, having lost his right hand, and without the strength of his former form, Jaime decided to gallop away from the odd troops, considering that there were strange troops not far away.

However.

As if the weirdos don't get tired, they can keep chasing after the war horse at full speed!

Turning his head to look back, Jaime clearly saw the strange man's purple face, lifeless eyes, not like a living person at all!

"Could it be... Is it a ghoul?!"

Thinking of this possibility, the monarch killer's face suddenly changed drastically, and he guessed that something was wrong with the Great Wall and the northern border.

In this case, think about the worst, either the Great Wall of Desperation was breached, or Robert and others let the ghouls go south!

How could a wall of ice that could stand for thousands of years be breached?

Therefore, it is very likely that Robert and others specially let the ghouls go south!

But not to mention how Robert's temper is bad, how Stannis is not liked, Sir Barristan and Eddard Stark are all honest and honorable people, and will never allow ghouls to wreak havoc in the south.

"What the hell is going on?"

Filled with doubts, fighting horses and dodging from strange people who don't get tired and suspected of being ghouls, Jaime is in turmoil at the moment, full of worries about the future.

......

Little Devil Tyrion's side.

Unwilling to go to war with Cersei, they voluntarily withdrew from King's Landing, and they were close to running out of food at this time.

Retreat to the Imperial Lord's castle for a while, even if half of the Unsullied and Dothraki were missing, their large forces quickly made the castle in short supply.

Eventually, Tyrion, Malwyn, Missandei, Jon and others had to leave the Imperial Territory with their troops and head north.

Dragonstone, they can't go back without a fleet.

Besides, all the food on the island has been transported to King's Landing, and it is useless to go back.

The Stormlands belonged to Holy Loran, and the princes of the Riverlands followed Randolph Tully north, and did not like the barbarians and eunuchs of the Narrow Sea.

As for the Lannister Territory, it was a mess, and the food had been diverted long before the Mother of Dragons attacked King's Landing.

They can only count on allies to the north.

So after leaving the Imperial Domain, Tyrion, Malwyn, Missandei, and Jon and others headed north with the Unsullied and Dothraki.

As the father of the Imperial Princess, Ryan and Varian's grandfather, Francis Arnold defended the city of Three Hills, in order to prevent the eunuchs and barbarians under Daenerys from going north after the end of the War of the Strangers.

How could he possibly allow the enemy to enter such an important military fortress?

If it weren't for the Emperor's alliance with the Dragon Queen, and found that the enemy was starving and freezing and came to the outside of Sanshan City, he would definitely lead his army to attack and annihilate all these outsiders on the other side of the Narrow Sea!

Therefore, Francis Arnold is already extraordinarily gracious not to attack them.

Faced with the closed military fortresses, Tyrion, Malwin and Jon had no choice but to continue north with the soldiers of the Unsullied and the Dothraki who were starving and cold.

The Unsullied are disciplined forces.

Even the toughest conditions can be endured.

But the savage Dothraki warriors, with the dragon queen and the mighty dragon in their presence, can keep them at bay if they have any problems.

But now Daenerys is gone, and neither are the dragons, and the Dothraki have made sure that the powerhouses of the Dothraki, such as Jorah, have followed the queen north to the Great Wall, and the Grey Worm is at sea.

Lacking food and supplies, a pygmy Tyrion alone could not suppress these barbarians.

Luckily, Marwyn is a magician, Jon is a shapeshifter who can control the Icewolf, and with Moroya, the madwoman of House Hightower, and Azhara, who has learned magic, he has the power to deter the Dothraki.

But this is not a long-term solution.

On the long journey north, Tyrion discovered that a small number of Dothraki were on horseback and secretly left the main army.

I don't want the Queen's soldiers to run out.

In the end, Tyrion had to take the risk and get the Unsullied and Dothraki to speed up their march in order to get north, ignoring what would happen if attacked, not to mention those who couldn't run and slipped away.

In fact, Jon, Dr. Malwyn, and Varys knew very well that in addition to traveling north, they could also borrow food from the nobles.

However, winter has arrived.

Which nobleman would be willing to lend his living capital to outsiders who crossed the sea?

They can't wait for the dwarfs of the Lannisters, and the drowned and barbarians from across the Narrow Sea, all dead!

Believing that Tyrion had been ruthless, Varys the Octopus ordered the Unsullied and the Dothraki to attack the nobles' castles and rob them of their food and supplies.

But Tyrion refused, wanting the queen to recover King's Landing first, and then peacefully recover all of Westeros, so he led everyone to speed up the march.

......

"My lord, it looks like someone is coming in front of you. ”

Riding a horse beside the little demon at the front of the group, Shapeshift controlled the white spirit to explore the way ahead, and Jon said when his consciousness returned.

"The army of the Riverlands?" Tyrion frowned at the words, causing the troops to stop their march.

"No, it's just one man and one rider, and it seems to be hiding from the ghouls. ”

Having seen strangers and ghouls outside the Cypriots, Jon was certain that he had seen the resurrected dead through the eyes of the Icewolf.

"Ghouls?" Tyrion frowned, "This is Harrenhal, how can there be ghouls from outside the Cypriots?"

"I read that right. Jon said solemnly.

The little devil was suddenly depressed: "Then what do we do?

Jon nodded, "That's right, we have to prepare for battle and have the soldiers light more torches." ”

Tyrion hurriedly shook his head: "What? we don't have many torches in the first place, and if we use them now, we won't be able to hold out to the north at all." ”

Jon: "But we can't survive the ghouls, and we won't be able to use torches." ”

"Well, let the soldiers light their torches and get ready for battle. "Tyrion, as the hand of the Queen, can only give orders.

"I seem to know the knight who came on horseback. ”

Asking Jon to give orders to the Unsullied soldiers and the Dothraki cavalry, Tyrion saw in front of the troops that the figure of riding a horse approaching was somewhat familiar.

"James?"

Soon, the little devil saw that the man with a haggard face and a stubble on his face was his brother Jaime Lannister.

"Why are you here?"

"Tyrion?" Jaime was stunned at the sight of his brother and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jon didn't control the white spirit, but when he saw the ghoul approaching, the white ice wolf burst and bit off the neck of the resurrected dead.

But the ghoul with his head tilted can still move!

Seeing this, Jon hurriedly shouted for Bai Ling to come back, and he rushed over with his sword, cutting off the arm of the resurrected dead man wielding the long sword.

"Bring the torches!"

The resurrected ghouls who lost their arms and had their necks bitten off by wolves did not stop moving until they were burned by the flames and returned to their true death.

Jon: "To deal with ghouls, you have to have dragon crystals and fire. ”

Hearing what the queen's nephew said, Tyrion nodded solemnly and asked his eldest brother Jaime, "Where did you meet it?"

Kingkiller: "Beyond Harrenhal, not far northwest of the Trident, seventy or eighty miles away, I found them attacking the castle, but found it without getting close. ”

The little devil frowned: "It's quite far from here, you've been running for a long time?"

Jaime nodded gloomily.

Jon hurriedly asked, "How many of them are there?"

"About two or three thousand. Jaime glanced at his brother's side, Dr. Malwyn, Jon, Missandei, Varys, and the others, "You're heading north at this time?"

"There was no way, King's Landing was reclaimed by Cersei. Tyrion smiled wryly.

Hearing this, Jaime was a little stunned: "I heard that she gave up the Red Keep and left on a boat, why did she go back?"

Tyrion shrugged, "Why else? ”

"My lord, this is not the time for small talk. Seeing that the two had a great intention of talking, Jon hurriedly reminded, "Ghouls will come at any time!"

"In the wild, there are no dragon crystal weapons, and we can't defeat them with torches alone. ”

Tyrion frowned, "But where can we go now? There are no castles around here that allow us to enter. ”

Jaime: "yes, Harrenhal is ahead, run faster, we should be able to get in before the ghouls come." ”
