Chapter 315: I Want to Stay Away from Strife (Ask for Subscription~!!)
"Takashi~" "Ryu~" "Ryu~"
The Rock Giants walked slowly behind the Coalition forces with heavy steps, charging the Horn of Winter, and humanity was able to reclaim the righteous companions of the legendary Tale from the hands of the Strangers.
Dragons flutter and soar in the sky.
The dark clouds still block the sun, making people walking on the snow-covered ground still feel so gloomy and depressing.
Even if this kind of weather is used to it by everyone.
But no one likes it.
Survived the long dark night, ushered in the morning light, and endured the cloudy day.
Leaving the ruined Great Wall and heading south, Houguan Town and finally Hearthplace City are in ruins, but fortunately, there are still survivors in the Amber family's castle, hiding in places such as cellars, secret rooms, and tower tops, avoiding the butcher's knives of strangers and ghouls.
After marching in silence, passing through familiar castles and places, the Stark family members soon saw the fallen Winterfell.
The city was silent.
Not even a single dead man's corpse could be seen, let alone other animals and insects, and the entire Winterfell seemed to have no life except for the withering trees of the Divine Forest.
Robb brought back the bodies of his parents.
They were immediately placed in the family cellar cemetery.
Because this is the capital of the North, the most important hinterland, Winterfell has a lot of food and supplies, and some distance to the south, there is also the logistical baggage of the Riverbend Legion supporting the Great Wall.
The Wraiths and Ghouls were coming too quickly, and in order to get into Winterfell in front of them, Randolph Tully and the others had to order the food and supplies to be abandoned.
The Great Wall collapsed, destroying most of the Black Castle and losing countless food and supplies, but with the food and supplies of Winterfell and the Riverlanders, the coalition forces heading south did not have to fear starvation.
"Rickon Stark hasn't been found yet?"
The Stark family's youngest son was also killed by the ghouls, but when he retreated, there were too many resurrected dead to be found, and his body was brought back.
Looking at the sad Robb, Sansa, Arya and others, Robert also felt bad.
Barristan sighed, "There are too many ghouls. ”
"Then let's go to the Divine Forest to see Brana Kid. Robert sighed as well, and walked over to the Fishbeam Wood Heart Tree in Winterfell, wondering about the Green Prophet who was trying to die with the Cold God.
No matter how bad it is, it will give him the bones.
After checking the situation around the coalition forces on a daily basis, Arthur, who has increased his intimacy with the dragon, no longer blows cold wind in the sky.
Thinking of the broken Bran, he also let Zhuo Geng land in the divine forest.
Coming down from the dragon's back, I just saw Robert and Barristan and others walking towards the heart tree, there was no need to deal with military affairs and logistics, the emperor and the captain of the Tielin Iron Guard were really idle, but Arthur was used to it.
The giant heart tree vanished, leaving a wooden semicircle in that place.
Robert went over and knocked on the fishbeam, which had no branches and leaves, and what seemed to be only the trunk of the tree turned into a shield again, and suddenly said, "Barristan, do you think Bran is not dead?"
Hearing this, the old knight was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Stark's second son had become a green prophet, a transcendent being, who had used the power of the Yuliang Mu Heart Tree to save everyone.
If you have the ability to save people, you may not have the ability to save yourself!
At this thought, Barristan immediately drew his sword, and in a flash of silver light, he split a hole in the fishbeam.
"Huh. Arthur, who approached the fishbeam, noticed that there was a trace of life in it, and hurriedly helped the old sir to split the wood completely with the night lining.
"Bran!"
The dead are on the march!
The long procession swept through the snow-swept land.
The king of strange ghosts with sharp horns on his head is as hideous as a crown, commanding more than 100,000 ghouls with an expressionless face, and there are eight strange ghost generals and hundreds of ordinary strange ghosts around him.
Soon, the twin river cities at the mouth of the Du River appeared in their sight.
There are pioneers who go south to open the way.
Once the Frey family's castle of the Twin Towers Bridge, now in the hands of the Auguste family, the old man Friedrich did things on the safe side, and he never thought of confronting them when he discovered the ghoul troops heading south.
Before, a small force was like this, but now it has been found that there are as many as 100,000 resurrected dead, and they have completely sealed the castle, and they don't even want important city walls, and if they block the passage, they will pretend that there is no one inside, and they can't hide like ostriches.
The troops of Twin River City are seriously insufficient, and the army has long since moved south to recover the Riverland, and now they are all stationed in Sanshan City.
There were less than a thousand soldiers left in the city.
With such a small number of people, it is a dream to block the attack of 100,000 ghouls!
Therefore, Friedrich and Frederick chose to coax, clenching the long sword in their hands while praying to the Seven Gods, the Old Gods, and the Red God that the strangers would ignore the Twin Cities.
And then.
The Night King really led his army, ignored the Twin Towers Long Bridge Fortress at the river crossing, and turned around in the direction of Haijiang City!
Harrenhal is not far from the Twin Cities.
As long as the Dothraki cavalry crossed the river, they could spot the scattered ghouls roaming the wilderness.
Jon leads his army to rule the Riverlands princes, telling them that the Strangers are heading south, but like Jaime Lannister, the Kingkiller, he turns to Daenerys as Stark's illegitimate son because he is considered a traitor by everyone.
No one wants to see the lowly bastard son who was once the commander of the Night's Watch, who was killed by a traitor and finally left the Wall.
The new lord of Riverrun, Edmure Tully, didn't want to see his brother-in-law's illegitimate son, and he refused to even open the gates on the city walls!
"What are you doing?"
Blackfish Brinton Tully knew that the straw bale nephew was such a bastard, and hurriedly ran over: "Open the door and let them in!"
Seeing his uncle, who was left by the Emperor, Prime Minister and his sister to help him manage Riverrun and teach himself to become a qualified lord, Edmure Tully frowned: "Why did you let that bastard and those barbarians in?"
Hearing this, Blackfish immediately glared at his straw bag nephew: "Because he was once the commander of the Night's Watch, and those barbarians in your mouth are now our allies!"
Edmure said disdainfully: "But he became a deserter!"
Brinton asked the soldiers to open the city gate, and said angrily: "Use your brain to think about it, His Majesty Robert, Prime Minister Eddard and many nobles are on the Great Wall, if he becomes a deserter, how can he leave alive?"
Didn't you read the letter from the Transition Crow?"
Hearing this, Edmure immediately asked in disbelief, "Was he really killed by the Night's Watch traitor, and then resurrected by the red-robed woman Melisandre?"
Brinton ignores his nephew and invites Jon into the city.
Kindly informed the princes of the Riverlands all the way, but was ridiculed and embarrassed, Jon was a little hesitant when he heard this, but considering that the soldiers around him had traveled a long distance and really needed to rest, he took the people into the city.
"You're former Night's Watch Commander Jon Snow?"
As soon as he entered Riverrun and dismounted, a girl came up to him and asked.
Jon nodded suspiciously, "Yes." ”
The girl said directly: "I'm Lyanna Mormont, my mother is Meggie Mormont, Countess of Bear Island, and it's nice to meet you, Jon Snow." ”
Knowing that the girl was the niece of his former boss, Jon immediately smiled and said to the girl, "I'm glad to meet you too." Then he asked suspiciously, "By the way, why are you in Riverrun?"
Lyanna shook her head and said, "Bear Island was breached by ghouls, and we escaped by sailing out to sea. ”
Hearing this, Jon frowned, but still patted the girl's shoulder lightly and comforted, "It's okay, you're safe now." ”
Lyanna shook her head again, "No, we are not safe, and when I came, I found that the waters off the Rock Bay were frozen, and the Finger of Flint had lit the smoke of the attacked wolves.
The wraiths are going south!"
Jon sighed, "The strangers have gone south. ”
"You're not kidding?" Blackfish Brinton happened to come over with his nephew at this time, and his face immediately became gloomy when he heard this.
King's Landing.
Cersei has decided to support Robert and Daenerys' coalition, allowing the Iron Isles fleet and the Golden Regiment to deal with the Strangers without losing their forces.
As for the day-to-day government affairs, military affairs and other matters, all matters are handled by the University of Koben.
As the future Supreme Queen of Westeros.
Cersei, who is at the pinnacle of power, does not need to bow down to everything, as long as the "country" is not in chaos, the strange ghosts do not call, and the Robert and Daenerys families do not go south, and they are too lazy to do so.
"Your Majesty, there is a woman from Meereen, who claims to be a descendant of the noble Parr family of Meereen, and says that she is an enemy of Daenerys, the son of the Silver Publisher, and wants to see you. ”
Enjoying the warm fire indoors, drinking the wine of Qingting Island, and worrying about how to deal with the strangers, how to deal with Robert and Daenerys, Cersei suddenly smiled when she heard what the waiter said.
"Take her to the throne hall and wait. ”
The attendant immediately stepped back and completed the task the queen had commanded.
Wait for the Lion Queen to make her way to the throne room.
The noblewoman from Meereen was already waiting respectfully for the blonde queen in the hall, and immediately knelt down and saluted when she saw the Lannister wearing the crown appear.
Thinking of weakening the strength of the dragon queen Daenerys and stumbling on her, Cersei didn't care about the false courtesy of the little nobles on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and went straight to the point: "You said that you are from Meereen in Slave Bay and are Daenerys's enemy?"
"Yes. "To be able to come to Westeros, the female descendant of the Pal family, of course, has mastered the Vislottic language, and when she heard this, she motioned to the servants who followed her to open the box they were carrying, and said, "I have brought sincerity to Her Majesty. ”
"Gold?"
Seeing the gold in the box, Cersei chuckled and nodded, "I see your sincerity, but what else can you offer me?"
"In addition to gold, I also bring with me the alliance intent of Governor Meereen. ”
"Governor of Meereen?" the Lion Queen frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, that Dario Naharis is Daenerys' lover. ”
"It's a former lover. ”
"Ever since that silver son left Meereen, the Governor has wisely chosen to cooperate with us. ”
"Why?"
"He said it was for love, but we all understood that he was for power and beauty, especially the silver son who ruthlessly abandoned him. ”
