Maybe it's been so smooth in the past few years that all of Aven's luck has been exhausted. Progress has been slow in the past few years on the Savage Stranger. And a lot of things happened that bothered Aven.

There were no problems with Evan and Jeo Mormont at the beginning, and the plan was extremely detailed. Later, when Evan returned to Bear Island, he and Eddard Stark discussed the elimination of the wildlings in two years.

But the fullness of ideals is often harshly sanctioned by reality

After two years of planning, Evan succeeded in provoking a huge conflict within the wildlings. However, with the suppression of the leader of the savages, Mance Red, there was no war between the tribes after all.

A premeditated assassination attempt begins, but falls short. Mance Rader is not dead! The assassination failure was nothing, but the assassination aroused the vigilance of Mance Red, who must have a certain amount of wisdom to become the leader of the 200,000 unruly wildlings, and combined with some information he had obtained before, he could easily guess the conspiracy of the Night's Watch.

In 293 AD, amid the internal contradictions among the wildlings, Mance Rader began to preach that there was no hatred between the tribes at all, and that everything was a conspiracy of the Night's Watch. They provoke wars between the tribes, and when the Free Folk War is almost complete, they will unite the families of the North to attack the outside of the Saiwai!

Mance Raid's approach was clear, to weaken the hatred within the wildlings under the propaganda of public opinion. But this is completely insufficient, if internal contradictions can be done by simple propaganda, then what do you need soldiers to do?

Propaganda can only suppress, but cannot completely make the internal contradictions of the tribes disappear. 200,000 freedmen are like a powder keg, just a little bit. In such a situation, the best course of action is to suppress internally or divert internal contradictions from foreign wars.

Mance Rader chose war, and the protracted war between the Night's Watch and the Wildlings broke out. Savages began to raid on a large scale, and began to harass and raid the northern frontier from various places. They never fight head-on on a large scale, they change places with one shot.

This kind of guerrilla warfare is insoluble in the present era, and the vast and sparsely populated north of the Great Wall has become almost a no-man's land. If it weren't for the support of the northern army, the Great Wall might have been breached.

The war lasted five years and ended only two years ago. Therefore, in the last two years, Evan has begun to immigrate to farm, stockpiling the food needed in the future and the Wraiths War.

Speaking of food, it is also a headache for Aven. The continent of Westeros has more mountainous terrain, much like Europe in the previous life, mainly growing wheat and animal husbandry as a sideline.

Without modern genetic means, it would have been impossible to breed a large number of high-yielding wheat seeds in a short period of time. Ai Wen has been cultivating hybrid wheat for several years, but the results are not good. And the progress is too slow.

It was impossible to breed high-yielding wheat in a short period of time, so Aven began to search the world for high-yielding seeds. Potatoes or corn were the root cause of the population explosion in Asia and Europe in the previous life. But none of this, as in the previous European Middle Ages, potatoes and corn were in South America.

Perhaps there is something similar to South America in this world, where there are potatoes or corn, but Evan simply has no time to explore, and in the near future of Westeros, the Wraiths will sweep from the land of eternal winter, and the entire continent will not be spared.

And Aivan, at this moment, is thinking about the catastrophe in front of him. This is his mission, and it is also his destiny to come into this world, to destroy the strangers!

The sea breeze on Bear Island blew on Aven, and the cold wind on his face made him shiver. He couldn't help but wrap his bearskin coat tightly, trying to warm himself up.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the ice wolf, who should have lived north of the Great Wall, is lying at his feet at the moment, like an erha, without the ferocity of the ice wolf at all.

Evan had read the original book, and Icewolf was so loyal to the Stark family that he asked Jeo Mormont to find his cubs a few years ago. It's been five years since I found it.

"Old man, it's been five years, and the world has changed under my influence. The stranger is missing at this time, Will and his party did not encounter the stranger, although the Stark family found the icewolf, but they did not find it on the way to execute Will, but under my influence, they fell in love with the icewolf, so they found it. The world is like this, old man, you say, where am I going! ”

"Uh-huh." The Icewolf looked at Evan who was talking to it suspiciously, with a puzzled expression.

Evan gently stroked the Icewolf, then stood up and looked at the endless sea, and said softly, "It's time to start!" My old fellow! ”

In Winterfell, Bran Stark was shooting arrows below, Jon and Robb were watching from the sidelines, smiling, and Theon was serious, looking respectfully at Ed and Catherine standing above.

With a pop, the arrow hit the bull's-eye. Everyone burst into laughter for a moment, and it turned out that it was not Bran who shot it at all, but Arya who was standing behind.

Arya made a noble salute, then smiled and ran away. Only the angry Bran, the smiling Robb and Jon are left in the field.

Catherine looked at the child below and said, "Ed, you have to take care of Aya, she is not a lady at all, how will she marry in the future!" ”

Ed spoke, "Catherine, she's still young, so there's no hurry. ”

Catherine said angrily, "She's nine years old now, she's still young! I know you like Aya very much, she has the shadow of your sister, but you can't get used to her all the time. Not long ago, she said that you should take her to Bear Island to meet Lyanna, what are you going to do? You can't go to see your subordinates as a lord of the north! ”

Ed smiled, "What's this, Evan is different from other vassals. His contribution to the North is too great! ”

Catherine said, "But he swore allegiance to you anyway, and you, as a lord, must not go to see him!" ”

Ed smiled and said, "I don't plan to see him, it just so happens that Robert will be in Winterfell soon, so if you want to see him by name, let him bring Lyanna with him!" ”

Catherine calmed down her dissatisfaction: "Also, your adoptive father is dead, and it is estimated that Robert is here to let Evan inherit the position of prime minister, and I will see you by the way." ”

Ed spoke, "Yes, according to Aven's talents, he will definitely be able to govern the Seven Realms. ”

Although the conversation between the two was not loud, it clearly reached Robb and Jon below. Both of them smiled bitterly at the same time.

Over the years, the friendship between Evan and the two has become weaker and weaker. It's not because they don't cherish each other, but because of the difference in status: "Robb, did you feel like Lyanna had changed the last time you saw her?" ”

Robb said in a deep voice: "She is becoming more and more like Aiwen, with a serious face, not smiling, and the whole person exudes a feeling of not being angry and arrogant!" ”

Jon spoke, "Lyanna has only been away from Winterfell for less than two years, and I remember how cute she was when she left, and now she has become just like Aven!" ”

"Do you think it's getting better or worse, Jon?"

"How can this be said clearly, just like Evan said, everyone has their own way, and everyone has everyone's responsibility. We can't interfere, we can only bless. ”

Robb spoke, "Lyanna is the same age as Aya, only nine years old, and Evan is raising her like the next generation of Bear Island heirs. Don't you think Evan has gone too far, and that so much responsibility is on that little girl? ”

Jon looked at Robb quietly, "And what do you think Evan is doing this?" ”

Robb froze suddenly, as if they hadn't seen Evan clearly in all these years.
