While the Great Wall is going on with a bunch of bullshit, the rest of the world of Ice and Fire doesn't stop.

In Westeros, south of the Neck, winter has not yet fallen, and the war between Stannis, who sits on the Iron Throne, and the pretenders to the throne has not stopped.

On the rebel side: Even though the defeated Riverbend has a solid family background, the determination and will of the city lords and earls who control most of the resources to follow the feudal monarch to rebel has almost been exhausted, and although the Golden Regiment with the banner of the true dragon occupies one of the famous fortified cities in Westeros, the Storm's End is not King's Landing after all, and the princes of the Stormlands are not the royal nobles who have always been loyal to the Targaryen family, "Little Aegon" As for the last potential ally, Dorne, although he has sent troops to help on the surface, has not actually fought Stannis with a knife or a shot, and diplomatically has not openly raised the flag of rebellion to this day, and as soon as the goal of lifting the siege of Storm's Rest is achieved, he immediately retracts back to the bone path like a loach, and comes to work without help, and sits back to watch the two tigers fight.

The situation seems to be very favorable to the owner of the Iron Throne, but Stannis cannot take the opportunity to unify the Seven Kingdoms at this moment: after the mutiny of the Alliance of the Righteous Ones, the confrontation with the West after Jaime's murder, and the battle for the throne with his younger brother Lan Li, the strength of the royal realm, the valley, and the river have been greatly damaged. The only northern frontier that retains its vitality is still turning north after exiting the battlefield of Storm's End, preparing to save his family...... What's worse is that the Iron Vault refuses to wholesale new loans to the Iron Throne, and the king of Westeros is facing unprecedented liquidity difficulties at this moment.

......

Iger had known about this at Castle Black, but the Night's Watch could not and could not interfere with it. After reorganizing the two thousand land-donors in Houguan Town, he led them south along the King's Road.

Once upon a time, he also naively imagined: to train the new army in imitation of the modern model, and then take the route of elite soldiers, relying on an invincible iron army to sweep the world all over the world...... Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and for the first time in his life, he actually led the troops, but he led a group of thugs who were only slightly stronger than the peasants. The only thing to be thankful for is that the elite soldiers who were originally trained in the industrial park outside King's Landing can now be used as grassroots officers, and it is not in vain that the original plan was not in vain.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness, the land-giving army, with a group of professional soldiers as the skeleton, is at least not inferior to the armies of any country in Westeros in terms of neatness and prohibition...... Of course, the "small scale" accounts for most of this.

Since the name of sending troops was to "transport grain to the north", Iger only issued weapons to the mountain clansmen, and ...... to the newly gifted landholders Not only did he disrupt the complete reorganization of his tribe's affiliation, but he also put the improvised weapons he had prepared for them in the carriage and let them follow the team with their bare hands, disguised as a folk man.

The Northern Princes were quite negative about the Night's Watch letting the wildlings pass through the Wall, so when the land-giving army reached the last Hearth, it was no surprise that the Amber family turned them away.

In this regard, Iger has long been mentally prepared. In fact, even if the Amber family were willing to accept the wildlings, a castle would not hold a few thousand people, and after the attack on Commander Mormont, to be honest...... He didn't dare to put everything on the savages' ability to keep to themselves, and he was confident and bold enough to let them enter any castle in the north.

Fortunately...... Either way, at least the Amber family didn't let themselves, the night watchmen, shut up.

In the halls of the Last Hearth, Egg met Hother Amber, a tall, stout man of the North, who was now in charge of the house, and learned from him that there was no news on the Wall.

＊＊＊

Due to the limitations of the times and the backwardness of the way information was transmitted, the dissemination of many messages had a great lag, and some lords or scholars did not have the habit of dealing with the night watch...... Therefore, Egger, who was on the Great Wall and could only wait for King's Landing's subordinates to occasionally send him some news, was actually quite closed.

"Baron Greyjoy is dead?" a not-so-unexpected piece of news, "when?"

Hother Amber replied, "A few weeks ago, I heard that the old Kraken's long-missing brother Euron Greyjoy had returned to the Iron Islands and was elected the new King of the Iron Islands...... The first thing he did when he came to power was to contact King's Landing and express his intention to negotiate peace and even pledge his allegiance. ”

"Pledge allegiance to King Stannis, a madman like Euron?" was a surprise, Iger asked, "Then why haven't the Iron Folk left the North yet?"

"Ha, a sea monster who has been missing for so many years, suddenly ran back, and as soon as he took his brother's place, he made overtures to a king who was not even sitting on the throne very securely...... His niece, Asha Greyjoy, is now in possession of Deepwoodfort and Cape Nefargoon, intending to establish another Iron Republic to rival her uncle. If Crow-Eye really wants to think about the Iron Throne, he should pack up his stinky girl and bring it home first, so that the northern army can fight Stannis without worries...... Instead of patting his ass, he began to build ships and go to the south to burn and rob. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and Euron pretended to have the intention of making peace with Stannis, not only leaving a way back, but also restoring the ancient path of the Iron People in the name of King Qin and rebellion, and "fighting" the "enemies" who were not loyal to the Iron Throne, which was really killing two birds with one stone. This trick is actually similar to Egger instructing Jaime and his men to vote for Carter Pike, helping to support the weaker of the two sides so that they can fight each other for longer, so that he, as a third party, can more easily reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It's impossible for a character like Stannis not to see Euron's tricks, he is mostly difficult to ride a tiger, and at this juncture, he really needs external forces to contain the riverbend, even if he knows it, he can only see through it.

Speaking of which, Egger actually regretted hanging Rams Snow early outside Houguan Town, and he couldn't help but wonder what sparks would be created if the two equally cruel and crazy villains of "Little Peel" and "Crow's Eye" Euron collided together.

Of course, one of the two has been burned to ashes and buried in the wilderness outside Houguan Town, and Egg's brain hole can only stay in the imagination stage forever.

It would be nice if he could deal with Euron as easily as he could deal with Rams.

......

Egg quickly combed through the newly acquired information in his mind, and found that the change in the situation was quite favorable to his plan: "In other words, now, the Iron People who invaded the North have been cut off from the Iron People of the Iron Islands, and the former is no longer able to obtain support from the Lair?"

"That's right, they can only retreat to the west coast of the wolf forest now, and they don't dare to casually run to the east of King's Road, and it will be too late for you to bring people to deal with them now. ”

"Yes, I beg your pardon. "Egger thinks it's just the right time, he has no experience and ability to lead troops, and now he has this soft persimmon pinch, it's not perfect?" "It's okay, isn't Shenlin Castle still in their hands, let's take this place first." ”

"Hmph...... If you go to Fort Deepwood, you might as well go straight south to Carlin Bay. Our new Lord Stark led his troops back north to rescue, but the Iron People blocked the door outside the neck guard, so we only need to send a few people to the north and south to break down this door, so that my 20,000 men in the north can return home, sweep away those chickens and dogs led by the daughter of the sea monster, and even attack the Iron Islands to surrender Greyjoy again, which is not what the soldiers are referring to. ”

It is ironic that Carlin Bay, which was originally the "blood gate" of the north, sits on the causeway through the Neck River, and has been the most advantageous defensive barrier for the north against southern aggression for thousands of years.

Hoser Amber's suggestion itself was fine, but Iger had other plans: "Hmm...... That being said, but the Deep Grove is relatively close after all. Besides, if you don't deal with the enemy in the north first, you will go south to the neck, in case you are copied from behind the buttocks by the opposite side, with the training level of the mountain clansmen, you may not be able to stabilize your position. ”

"Whatever you want, you brought the person anyway, how to use it is my. Horther Amber snorted, stared at Egg for a while, and then suddenly slapped the table: "Damn, I understand what you kid is thinking, you are afraid that Robb Stark will come back to hold the night watchman responsible for letting the savages enter the customs without authorization, so I want to take them to the north first, so that the young wolf lord owes favors, and then has nothing to say, right?"

Ho, this "prostitute" looks like a rough man, and he can see through one of his plans so quickly, he is really unseemly. Iger doesn't intend to deny it, though...... There's nothing unpleasant about this: "This is partly the reason, but the main thing is that I want to restore peace to the north, so that I can purchase your food more safely to help the Great Wall survive this winter." Your Excellency, the Mountain Clansmen and the New Landgivers are not familiar with the terrain of the Wolf Forest, so would you like to send us a guide...... Lead us to reclaim this place?"

......

"Which little rabbit brought a litter of savages to my door!" Before Hoser could reply, another, rougher voice came from outside the door. 2k reading web
