The so-called clan people decide for themselves how to deal with it, and the subtext is, of course, "he doesn't care, let Iger watch it", although more goals have not been achieved, but at least this bottom line and the promise to Asha have been kept, and it is not nothing-of course, even if he breaks his promise, a captive can't help himself.

Looking at the back of the young wolf lord, Iger suddenly realized: This kid is now very much like a duke.

Identity, status, and experience can quickly change a person's thoughts and way of behaving in the world, and neither does himself, Robb Stark.

......

It was almost the evening of the day when Kalin Bay surrendered, and the northern army stationed a few dozen miles south of the fortress naturally did not have time to return home through the long causeway. The next day, more than 10,000 northern soldiers set up camp at dawn and spent most of the morning crossing the last leg of the road through Neckze through Kalin Bay, and after a hearty lunch, it was a celebration of victory.

Winter is approaching, but the temperature at the junction of the north and south is still above freezing, and the assembly place of the northern army a few miles north of Kalin Bay is even more in full swing - more than 10,000 northern soldiers gathered here, in this familiar and safe place in the north of the neck, they completely let down their vigilance, enjoyed the food, drank the wine, and bragged to everyone they could see about their experience of following the lord's conquest.

These veterans who have experienced the siege of Golden Tooth City, Sarsfield City, Oxford, Brand City, Rock City, etc., and defeated the Rose Army in three field battles in Yangji Hall, King's Landing, and Bronze Gate City. He has plundered the minerals of the West, enjoyed the honor of defeating the world's famous generals like Randolph Tully, and even plundered some riverbend villages and towns on his way back from Storm's End......

The people of the North returned laden with gold, grain, and glory, and although there were a few thousand fewer than when they set out, everyone who survived was lucky.

In view of the fact that they actually participated in the war, even the land-grant army led by Egger was stained with light: the Night's Watch interference in the internal affairs of the Seven Kingdoms was rumored to be a scandal, but after Robb Stark confirmed the external statement that "the mountain clans volunteered to fight" and deliberately did not mention the fact that half of them were wildlings, the closeness of the people in the north to this ally was real- After weeks of strong attack, no soldier or general who still kept his sanity would want to continue gnawing on the hard bones of Carlin Bay, and the appearance of the night watchman and the daughter of the sea monster brought with him, and the success of persuasion to surrender made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

＊＊＊

The revelry and celebration lasted from noon to midnight, and Iger traveled through the camp of the northern army, drinking and chatting with countless northern soldiers and princes to inquire about the news, and learned a lot of news from them. Some of them were unknown to him, and some were different versions from the ones he knew.

The death of Duke Horst Tully, who had been bedridden for several years, was not unexpected. This means that Robb's uncle, Edmure Tully, is now the Duke of Riverlands.

"The Last Targaryen", "Mother of Dragons" Daenerys Targaryen, who seems to be in trouble in Slave Bay, thousands of miles away, not only did not get into trouble in Meereen as in the original plot, but is said to have controlled Astapo and Yuankai, and built them into a city-state union with Meereen. The latest news shows that the dragon queen is having a lot of fun with several outside forces trying to help the big slave owners retake the city.

And as her three dragons gradually grow, the situation is actually getting clearer day by day without any suspense.

Not only did the Westfrontier not lift gold controls after the war, Tyrion Lannister continued to rebuild his bank while the ruins were rebuilt after the war, and Barristan Selmy was faithfully serving as the captain of the Kingsguard by Stannis Baratheon's side...... Without the assistance of these two people, Daenerys would have been better mixed?Could it be that this girl from the Targaryen family is more politically talented than the first two!?

After a deeper conversation with the soldiers returning from the south, Iger learns why: Petyr Berish, who had been driven across the Narrow Sea by a note from his own, somehow became Daenerys' queen!

There is no doubt that "Littlefinger" is better than "Little Devil" and "Fearless Barristan" combined when it comes to assisting an exiled princess in her quest to restore her kingdom...... But how exactly did this happen?

The world was a mess, and Egger felt dizzy, and he didn't know if it was because of the wine or the news that was completely unexpected. But he soon lost the strength to think about it: after a few glasses of wine, the enthusiastic northerners became more and more enthusiastic, while some of the people who were intolerant to alcohol soon fell into a state of subsistence.

After finally getting rid of the large number of northern men who called him brothers, and forcibly putting down a few drunkard knights who planned to sneak into his military camp to see the "daughter of the sea monster" and do something else by the way, this lively and chaotic day was over.

......

The next day, the army of the north set out to continue north. Along the way, like a rocket that drops its booster after liftoff, the princes are constantly leading their armies back to their homeland: Mandalay, Kastark, Locke, Dustin...... One by one, gang after gang broke away from the large army, and by the time the team marched through the ancestral mounds and approached the city of Severn, most of the mighty army had already dispersed, and even if the land-giving army led by Egger was included, and even if the prisoners were included, it was less than 10,000.

This phenomenon is much more important to Iger than the new Duke of Riverlands, the Lannister Bank of the Little Devil, or even Daenerys in Slave Bay: in the South, the war between Stannis Baratheon and the unknown Aegon Targaryen continues. Robb Stark disbanded the army in this situation, which meant that the Northerners would not turn south and return to the war to defend the Iron Throne after taking their homeland.

Although Iger believed that it was Varys who poisoned Eddard Stark, at least on the surface, it was the Tyrells who murdered the former Guardian of the North, and Robb's father, ......the "Young Wolf Lord", would actually let go of his father's revenge for killing his father? The other Northerners would agree? You know, in this era, especially in the sparsely populated North, the gathering of troops is much slower than thought, and Robb's disbanded army, even if he has the heart to reconvene, will be at least a month later!

Without the participation of the northern frontier, the Lannister family in the western frontier hid behind the mountains and quietly licked their wounds, ignoring the affairs of the outside world...... Even if the Riverlands and Vale were still supporting Stannis, the Royalists were not strong enough to crush the riverbend and destroy the rebels. And as winter came, the war could not go on indefinitely, and Iger knew intuitively without going into detail that Westeros was irreversibly heading for a split into two parts.

Was this a good or a bad thing for his plan? Iger couldn't figure out for a moment, but what he was sure of was that if Robb Stark hadn't proposed to the Freys on the spur of the moment, and had cautiously and sensibly approached the Tyrells and reached a marriage, there would have been no basis for this war to be fought. Of course, given that he had also enjoyed the wine, food, and even the services of the chef and his subordinates generously provided by the Frey family at the celebratory banquet to celebrate the repulsion of the Iron Folk invaders, it seemed that there was no position to dislike the in-laws who were not right for others.

......

With a lot of thought and thought, Egg led his land-givers to follow Robb Stark's army to the north of Winterfell.
