After the Battle of Deepwood, Count Sauron returned it to its original owner, Lady Glover, to the unanimous gratitude of the lord's wife and her two children.

In order to prevent the deep forest fort from being captured by the gangsters again, Count Sauron stationed five hundred men in the fort, and then led the rest of the troops back to the Terror Castle.

At that time, all the people of the Bolton family in the Fortress of Terror were wiped out and replaced by the people of Count Sauron.

The first thing Count Sauron did when he returned was to gather the farmers among the Descenders.

He asked the Adventists to pass on some of the knowledge that would increase the yield of agricultural crops, such as fertilization, irrigation, and pest control, to the farmers in their territory.

At the same time, he asked agricultural professionals to improve the world's conventional crops and select one or several crops with short growth cycles and high nutritional value.

That's right, Count Sauron is farming.

This was something that had to be done, and Zoro knew that if he wanted to unify Westeros, he lacked the foundation to realize his ambitions.

Although he is a nobleman named by Robb himself, even the territory is divided from the land of the Stark family, and the time he has taken over is still short, and many of the lords have not even seen him as a lord. Not counting the Castle of Horrors that he had robbed, he didn't even have a castle of his own.

Although according to the plan, he will seek the foundation of the Stark family in the later stage and become his capital to dominate the world, but now is obviously not the time.

To conquer the world, what is needed is elite and loyal soldiers, he has no shortage of soldiers, and the Adventist is the best soldier, and there is an endless supply, and there will never be a crisis of scarcity. It is enough to imagine that this will definitely be a nightmare for the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms in the later period.

But he can't let the Advent not eat, because of the proximity between the fantasy plane and the real world, even if the Advent exists as a spiritual body, it still needs to eat, although it will not starve to death if it does not eat, but it will definitely be weak and slaughtered.

Similarly, Count Sauron is short of money and equipment, these things cannot fall out of thin air, he needs to seize them himself, and it is obviously not cost-effective to exchange energy points, so the best way is to obtain them in this world, and food is the most qualified hard currency.

Under the heavy bounty, the Adventists were quick to come up with a plan, finding several eligible crops from thousands of plants in Westeros, similar to real-world sweet potatoes, peas, and buckwheat.

These crops are best cultivated in the harsh weather of the north, and at the same time have a short growth cycle and can be harvested several times a year.

Count Sauron was overjoyed and immediately ordered his men to spread these crops to his territory.

This also includes the territory that originally belonged to the Bolton family, and in Sauron's thoughts, since your castle is mine, your territory and people will naturally be taken over as well. Lady Glover of Deepwoodburg also arranged for the farmers under her command to grow the crop on the Earl's enthusiastic recommendation.

This is the good thing in the feudal era, the territorial nobles gave an order, and even if the people under their rule did not understand, they could only obediently comply, although if they could not harvest food in the next year, they would probably starve them to death.

Although there were some twists and turns, it was finally implemented, and several territories were completely renewed, and all of them were planted with new crops. In this way, these transactional tasks took Count Sauron a month or so, and although it was complicated, it had to be done.

After all this, Zhang Xinyi (Suolong) took the time to go to the fantasy space, the first expansion of the fantasy space, the number of people is growing rapidly at a daily rate, and soon reached the population mark of 20,000, and this number will continue to grow in the later stage, until it reaches 100,000 before temporarily slowing down.

The explosive population development has caused the population of the fantasy plane to surge, and compared to the world of Song of Ice and Fire, which requires 100 energy points to enter the high barrier to entry, the Huanzhu Gege World and the Bright Sword World, which exist as the initial trial plane, have become the best choice for new adventists.

The influx of a large number of "anti-thieves" and "anti-Japanese elements" not only brings a large number of energy points to the space, but also has a significant increase in the deviation value of the two worlds, namely: 48% of the Huanzhu Gege Plane and 15.9% of the Bright Sword Plane.

In the real world, due to the increase in the number of people, there has been a faint rumor about the existence of fantasy space circulating in a small area, and with the personal confirmation from the closest friends and relatives, more and more people believe in the existence of this space.

Many people are frantically chasing the information of this world, and the fantasy space is also screening and selecting these people according to their thirst.

Because compared with the group of people who are more satisfied with real life, these groups who are dissatisfied with reality and have stronger desires are the foundation for the development of fantasy space.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, months have passed in the world of ice and fire, autumn has gone to winter, heavy snow has fallen, and the white land is covered with frozen soil, and the winter in the north is extremely cold, and the bitter cold wind blows on the exposed skin of the people, stinging incomparably.

This winter, however, was different from the previous years, and the peasants and hunters did not need to venture out again, and fought the beasts for a meager bite of food, and the commoners looked at the full barn with smiles and thanked the Earl for his bounty.

In just a few months, the land under the control of Count Sauron has grown its first crops, and has reaped a gratifying harvest, and the method of irrigation and fertilization that has been scientifically summarized has exerted an amazing effect in this world, according to those Adventist experts, even the real world does not have such a yield, and the fertility of the land in this world is amazing.

Moreover, several crops specially selected by Count Sauron are hardy, tough, and short-term, and it can be expected that in the next few months, these crops will not stop growing or die due to the harsh winter, and they will grow tenaciously and vigorously under the cover of heavy snow.

At the same time, Count Sauron also ordered the Descenders to do one thing, that is, to use grain to brew distilled spirits that had never appeared in this world, and this high-level spirit was widely praised by the Seven Kingdoms as soon as it appeared, especially in the cold and harsh north, and was sought after and loved by the northerners.

Under the operation of this magical count, a caravan of Adventists set out from the Horror Castle, and they dragged cartloads of food and wine, and used the golden dragons to buy war horses and weapons in each of them, and finally pulled them back to the Horror Castle.

The Adventists are also happy to accept this kind of quest, as they find that completing the quest issued by the Children of the Plane will reward them with a certain amount of energy points, although not much, but it is better to be safe and simple.

Everything seems to be in order, Count Sauron is vigorously developing his territory and silently accumulating strength, while keeping a close eye on the movements of the Five Kings Rebellion, and is always ready to enter this war for continental hegemony.

And this time has finally come.

Due to Tywin's political ability and the Imp's strategy of defending the city, the battle on the front line gradually changed to a situation unfavorable to the Starks, and after the battles of Storm's Rest and Blackwater, among the five kings, Lanley Baratheon and Stannis Baratheon were defeated respectively, and only Robb Stark was left to fight against the Lannisters.

However, due to Robb's reneging on his engagement with the Freys when he passed through Luanhe and marrying another girl, Jenny Westerling, this led to the breakdown of the Stark-Frey Alliance, and the Freys withdrew all their forces to Twin River.

At the same time, supposedly his most loyal and close vassal, Count Inrecard of House Karstark was so angry at the death of his last son that he sent someone to infiltrate the prison in Riverrun and kill two of the Lannisters' children, which went against Robb's long-standing concept of justice, and Robb personally sentenced Count Inrecard to death, which turned Stark and House Karstark into complete enmity.

In order to salvage the declining situation, Robb asks his uncle Edmure Tully to marry Roseline, the daughter of the Freys, but what he doesn't know is that Luce? Burton had already hooked up with Frey and the Lannisters, and was ready to give them a "big gift" at this wedding.

At this time, the young wolf lord was still ignorant and imagined that his amend-making action could gain the forgiveness of the Frey family and re-stitch the rift between the two families, but he did not know that the Frey family's Wald Frey had already been murderous and could no longer be recovered.

With a "whoosh" of arrows, a raven from the north was shot down, and the soldiers picked up the dead raven and brought it to Earl Bolton.

Luce Burton had just finished his secret conversation with the Frey family, frowned when he saw this, and asked, "How many are these?" ”

"The seventh of the month." The guard who delivered the letter said.

"It seems that the Starks have noticed something unusual, and they can't delay any longer, and the plan must be implemented immediately." Luce Burton's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he instructed his subordinates, "Help me contact the Marquis of Valde of the Frey family, I have important matters to discuss with him." ”

At the same time, Luce Burton had a vague foreboding that what should have been hidden would be discovered by the Stark family, why Rams had not heard from him, and what had happened to the Castle of Terror during his absence.

Of course, with the communication technology and information transmission methods of this era, the Earl of Bolton is still ignorant and ignorant of his lair.

The result of the secret talks between Luce Bolton and Wald Frey was that the wedding was brought forward, and Robb agreed to this request after a little consideration, after all, it was his fault and he needed to take into account the Frey's wishes. And the sooner the two families complete their alliance, the sooner they will be able to start a war against the Lannisters and avenge his father.

How could he not agree!

The news of this important wedding in the Rebellion of the Five Kings soon spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, attracting the attention of all forces.

When Count Sauron learned of this news, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, in the end, it had developed to this point.

Although he had informed the Earl of Bolton of Lewyn's bad intentions in advance, judging from the fact that the wedding was going on as usual, it was feared that something had changed in the transmission of news from the Stark family.

In fact, because of the betrayal of the Stark, the Stark family relied heavily on the Bolton family for the deployment of troops and the transmission of information, which caused this huge mistake.

Even judging from the original work, the death of the young wolf lord seems to have a lot of accidents, but in fact, it is not, it is an inevitable trend. Although Robb is very good at marching and fighting, he is extremely naïve politically, with a rigid distinction between rewards and punishments, and an unknown understanding of people.

In the struggle for power, what is more needed is compromise and concession, rather than blindly sticking to principles. One wrong step is a doom, and there is no chance of any luck.

"Come on, gather the army, let's go to Twin River City." Count Sauron's eyes widened, and then they opened suddenly, a cold light flickering in the depths of his eyes.
