The conversation in Braavos' Sea King's palace is unknown to anyone, but it is destined to have far-reaching consequences.

It's just that even though there is already an eyebrow for results, the decision on another land is unlikely to be immediately fed back into the battlefield of Westeros, at least, the situation in Haijiang City in the next month is not much different from before.

The siege continued, and the morale of the enemy was still low, but under the suppression of numbers, the iron people could only be trapped in the castle, and the most effective guerrilla tactics could not be implemented, so they could only reluctantly defend the city, occasionally hoping that their son of the drowning god would strike again, but there was no movement.

But in fact, not all of the Iron People were trapped in the castle, before the siege, a large part of the Iron People were still active in the Sancha River, and now this army is flowing all over the river, constantly cooperating with friendly forces to fight guerrillas.

Not to mention the number of casualties caused, the trouble caused to the enemy is really a lot.

The river is very large, but the Sancha River, which is relied on by the iron people, runs through the river, and at the same time, the river is wide and deep, even if it cannot sail large warships in the sea, it can sail ordinary ships.

However, the enemy did not expect that Hejian would have such a geographical environment, or rather, they knew the geography of Hejian Land, but they did not expect that the Iron People would suddenly send troops, nor did they expect that they would occupy Haijiang City so easily and carry out such a peculiar way of fighting, and even had a great headache about it.

Even the war, which was originally fought back and forth, has become passive everywhere due to the continuous harassment of the iron people.

This continued until the middle of the year 295 of the Conquest, when some noticeable changes occurred.

First of all, most of the troops besieging Haijiang City were withdrawn, and it seemed that they were supporting other places, so the soldiers in the castle took advantage of the situation to counterattack and break the siege in one fell swoop.

The second is that the valley cavalry, who had betrayed the Iron Throne, withdrew from the battlefield in a big way, and retreated into the valley and was no longer active.

Soon after, the enemy in the various battlefields of the Riverlands withdrew and headed for the east coast. And the reason for the evacuation also reached Lan Li's ears-

The Targaryen army's sea supply lines have been disrupted!

As the war lasted for nearly a year, most of the supplies the enemy relied on came from the nine free-trade city-states across the ocean, followed by local plunder.

Because of the large size of the enemy's fleet, and the strongest fleet on the side of Westeros, Qingting Island, was pinned down in the South China Sea, it was difficult for the royal fleet led by Stannis alone to effectively attack the enemy, so the enemy's supply was always interrupted, and there was no sign of interruption at all.

As a result, the impossible place has become a reality, Lan Li felt very strange when he heard this information, and later heard that it seemed that Stannis contacted the pirates of the Stone Steps Islands to act together, and there was a traitor among the enemies who reported the news, and took the opportunity to do it under the surprise attack.

How can the war continue without supplies?

So the overall situation changed dramatically.

Unable to break through the blockade of the Riverlands, the enemy's morale was already low, and under the lack of supplies, they finally fell apart, and retreated in the direction they came, preparing to completely abandon this large-scale invasion.

However, their evacuation did not go well, as the Iron Throne army pursued and killed countless enemies, and the royal fleet led by Stannis at sea and the pirate fleet hired by him also launched a blockade one after another, making the situation even more difficult for those who were already short of ships due to the destruction of supply lines.

It is said that the valleyman who had retracted into his nest also suddenly intervened, much to the surprise of many people.

Afterwards, Lan Li heard that this valley army was not in the same group as the previous betrayal of Baratheon, and the reason for this situation was that when the valley lords got together for a meeting, they were besieged by the golden regiment that landed from the sea, so that the dragons were leaderless and could not stop the rebels from attacking, and they could not pass on the news, so they could only allow the valley traitors to collude with the Targaryens.

Now that the enemy has retreated, the Golden Regiment can't stay where they are, so they naturally regain control of the valley—

That's what the intelligence says, and the people of the valley also claim it, it's hard to say whether it's true or not, but Lan Li believes that this thing will become true even if it's not true, after all, his cheap brother can't run to ask for the crime at the risk of offending the lord of the whole valley, and he doesn't have the ability to destroy the valley in one fell swoop.

At most, there will be more scapegoats to find after the fact.

All in all, after the enemy's supply at sea was cut off, everything that had been in a stalemate basically dissipated, and peace finally ushered in the arrival of peace in the riverland, which had been in the war for nearly a year.

It's just that as far as the eye can see, the environment that has been beaten into thousands of holes is not happy-

According to preliminary calculations, the number of ordinary civilians killed in this war is probably not less than 200,000.

Looking at the Seven Kingdoms, the Riverland is a relatively wealthy area, but now there is no good place here, and the corpses are everywhere and the blood is flowing like a river, which also makes this troubled region outbreak of plague.

Fortunately, due to the war, the riverland was empty, and the plague did not cause much trouble, but it also had a serious impact on the small number of people hiding in their homes.

In this situation, an organization known as the Holy Light Warriors gradually emerged, which aimed at rescue and escort, and also played an important role in the management and isolation of the plague.

To the surprise of many, many members of the group have the ability to make all kinds of objects glow, weapons, clothing, food, and even all over the body......

This light served as a illuminator, especially useful when traveling at night, and seemed to have a slight healing effect, which was so wonderful that the prestige of the Holy Light Warriors around the Riverlands had risen rapidly, and everyone knew about it.

The monks spread the word that the Holy Light Warrior Order was founded by the gods of heaven who sent saints to see the suffering of the world, and the people believed in this, so they became more devout in their belief in the gods, and donated money and goods to the samurai order.

Under the guidance of the Church of the Seven Gods, there were also nobles or wealthy merchants in areas across the Seven Kingdoms that were not affected by the war, and donated money to the organization to contribute to the relief of this cruel war disaster.

Of course, they prefer that their devotion be known to the gods in heaven, so that they may go to heaven after death, as the monks preach.

In short, when the war lasts, it attracts everyone's attention, and the end after the war is even more eye-catching, but all this has nothing to do with Lan Li for the time being.

After the siege of Haijiang City had faded, he had planned to make repairs and then return to King's Landing to deal with some things.

But before he could return, a letter from King's Landing forced Lan Li to shift his focus and look to the north.

The letter claimed that Robert's good brother, Duke Eddard of the North. Stark has fallen victim to the enemy's plot and is now unconscious, and his life is seriously threatened.
