Because of her self-esteem, Meggie's face was skeptical, but she believed it in her heart, otherwise why was her Valyrian steel sword obviously inferior to these swords, and her family sword didn't have the slightest bit of coldness.

Four hundred years ago, the city of Valyria in the East, surrounded by volcanoes and rivers of lava and magma, was very hot, but it was not the ice and snow world of the Great Wall. The famous city of Valyria was also the result of a volcanic eruption that tore apart the peninsula and burned the world-conquering tyrant to ashes.

"You can't go back to the Great Wall right now. Maggie said with a hint of hope. Will could tell that Maggie would like to return to the Wall immediately, have the master quench her long claws again, and then let the ice water of the Wall cool down. No matter how much she tried to hide it, the heat in her eyes had betrayed her inner thoughts, and every Valyrian steel sword that Will had here made her eyes warm and her heart beat.

She already had a long claw in her hand, a famous sword that the family was proud of, but now it seemed to be a rough rubble. In fact, the long claws are naturally not bad, but the newly cast Valyrian steel sword is indeed too outstanding, even if the sword is in the scabbard, the sharp aura of the faint cold air of the sword escapes invisibly.

These swords, as Gendry said, each sword is a living life.

This is also thanks to the credit of the Great Wall Ice Water, thanks to the work of those amazing high-level magicians eight thousand years ago. Eight thousand years ago, a magician could cause the sea to pour back and mountains to collapse.

The Valyrian steel sword, which is originally a fire, was also forged in Valyria, the land of fire, and its ancient technology met the ice and water of the Great Wall, and the fusion of water and fire made a new generation of more outstanding famous swords.

This is providence. Providence is both divine providence.

Will whispered, "Lady Maggie, you want to borrow my griffin, and you want to go to the Wall?"

"So what?" said Lady Maggie. Her strength makes Will secretly amused. Will didn't want Maggie Mormont to be angry with her all the time.

"Even if I lend you the flames, you won't be able to enter the Sword Forgery when you reach the Great Wall. ”

"I know that bastard Donnell Noe, Miss Shireen - she wasn't Her Majesty then, and when she was still on Dragonstone, I went to Dragonstone as the patriarch of House Mormont, and I met Donnell Noi and gave gifts to Her Majesty Shireen. ”

"You don't know Donor Noi either, because you need a military order from the leader of the Great Wall to enter the Forged Swordkee. ”

"Forged Swordkee?"

"The Long Night Castle has been renamed Forged Swordkee. ”

"Do you mean that you are willing to lend me a griffin but refuse to give me a warrant, or is the warrant for Forged Sword Castle to be issued by the Chief of the Great Wall?"

"I can give you a warrant, but we're going to attack the Bloodgate. ”

"Immediately, I'll be there for only three days. Don't think I don't know how fast a griffon can fly. Blaze is faster than Aquamarine. ”

"You can go to the Great Wall after we take the Blood Gate, and when the time comes, I'll lend you the flames and give you a warrant to enter the Sword Forge. ”

"Really, you're the Prime Minister, the guardian of the entire territory of the Seven Kingdoms, and you can't talk about it. Maggie looked at her with suspicion.

But Will knew that Maggie's heart had unraveled the stalk about him, and she had already called Will the Prime Minister. No matter how strong she is, she is still a Mormont with clear grievances.

This is the advantage and disadvantage of the Mormont family. Being used is a disadvantage.

Will had just taken advantage of that.

After all, Maggie Mormont knew that fighting the strangers, fighting the free people, would be sacrificed anytime and anywhere, and Will would too, and the war was merciless, and she blamed Will for her grief, which was actually unreasonable.

But human emotions are like this, in addition to grief and hatred, as long as they can find an imaginary enemy who is somewhat implicated to hate, they will seize it.

Half an hour later, in the last open space closest to the Blood Gate, the 8,000 legions led by Robb set up camp. The advantage of the cavalry turned into a disadvantage here. The speed is gone, but it becomes crowded because the horses need a lot of forage and a place to leash the horses.

Although the advantages of cavalry have become disadvantages, the same environment is also what the enemy has to face, so there is no need to worry that the enemy will surprise at the speed of cavalry, they will only come over with a small group of enemies, and they will not be able to outflank the battle in a roundabout way.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Will and Robb sat side by side, and the generals' eyes always stopped at the golden hand on Will's chest from time to time, and many arrogant nobles had a strange feeling in their hearts - a night watchman became the hand of the king, the guardian of the whole territory, and the regent, and they couldn't say why, they always felt something strange in their hearts.

Will was reading Robb's letters, and there was a lot of letters, and there was news from Stormlands, saying that Kaivon Lannister had used a strataghm to disguise himself as Davos Seaworth, Earl of Onion, and others, to trick the acting city lord into opening the city gates, and killing the city lord on the drawbridge, taking the city gate with lightning speed, and finally taking the castle of Storm's End.

All the nobles of Storm's End have submitted to the combined forces of Kaivon Lannister and Tyrellle.

Kaivon and Tyrell have gathered all of the southbound legions, including all legions in the North, Vale, West, and the Lord, have sworn allegiance to Kevon Lannister, and the Golden Knights hired by Kevon are marching on the Blackwater River with the feared War Elephant Legion in the vanguard with the goal of taking the empty King's Landing.

Robb had been paying attention to Will's expression changes, and he found that Will had no emotional change when he saw the information from the Stormlands, and was indifferent to the news that Kaivon was unifying the coalition.

"My lord, they will soon take King's Landing, King's Landing is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, and if they take King's Landing, they will have a positive influence in the hearts of the people. You can't sit on the Iron Throne with a false king. Robb reminded Will softly.

"When you enter King's Landing and take the Iron Throne, that's when Kaivon dies. Will whispered.

Robb was surprised: "Prime Minister, you have already sent the Holy Judge to assassinate Kai Feng?"

"You don't have to send our people. ”

"Why?"

"I'll explain it to you later. There's so much at stake. ”

Robb was silent for a moment in surprise, and then whispered, "Luce Bolton of the North is also in his hands, will he be in danger?"

After all, the North is now a thorn in Kaivon's side.

"Lord Robb, you can worry about anyone, but don't worry about Luce Burton, he will best protect himself. ”

Robb was silent.

Luce Bolton was the only one who made him feel terrified at the military meeting, of course, no one could see Robb's emotions, including Luce Bolton himself, he only saw the heroic killing of the young wolf lord, and he was bold and calm, and he couldn't see Robb's fear of him in his heart.

The skinners give many nobles a feeling of thorns!

Will ignored Robb's emotions, and he continued to read the letter. His steady mountain situation made Robb a little more convinced of him in his heart, and a little more mysterious. Why did Lord Will say that when Kevon Lannister entered King's Landing, he died?

I've never heard him talk about this before.

Is this another prophecy of a Son of God?

Will saw a few letters from Jaime Lannister again, and the letter had only one meaning, that is, to bring the evidence of the ghouls to Eagle's Nest, and he was willing to unite all forces to form an alliance with Will, obey Will's orders, and fight against the strangers together.

Will was noncommittal.

He picked up the last letter of this stack, it was still Jaime's, and the letter was no longer about asking for peace, but very harshly worded to ask Will to withdraw his troops, otherwise the Lannister's forces would fight with Will and others to the end. It was hard to tell that Jaime had known that Robb had led his army into the valley and was approaching the Bloodgate.

Still noncommittal, Will tossed James's letter aside and picked up another stack of letters.

There were very few of these letters, only a few, and Will opened several letters in a row, all of them were letters from Littlefinger, and the letters said that the warship escorting Her Majesty Shireen to Winterfell had successfully arrived at White Harbor in the north, and the Iron Guard Captain and other fierce men were responsible for protecting Her Majesty Shireen along the Whiteblade River into the belly of the North, and then went to Winterfell by land. Eddard Stark's body was well protected along the way, and Winterfell had received the news that Lady Catelyn and her party had gone to the banks of the Whiteblade River to meet the bodies of Her Majesty Shireen and her husband.

Then the letter said that they had met with very fierce resistance to the subjugation of the Three Sisters, and although they had won several battles, the forces of the Three Sisters were still resisting stubbornly, and they were no longer able to land on the Five Fingers Peninsula within the stipulated time, and cooperate with the army to attack the valley plains in the west.

Robb Stark saw Will read Petyr's letter from Littlefinger and whispered, "Lord Chancellor, Lord Petyr is only fit for business, not for war. ”

Following the previously designed military operation, Petyr the Littlefinger persuaded the families of the Three Sisters to submit to the new king, His Majesty Shireen, and then gathered the forces of the Three Sisters to land on the Five Fingers Peninsula and attack the valley plains from the east. Will and Robb attacked from the Bloody Gate of the Valley to the west, flanking from east to west.

Will read Petyr's letter again under Robb's reminder, when he broke up with Petyr Littlefinger, Petyr vowed to persuade the Three Sisters to surrender, but the letter did not mention his strategy of 'salute before soldiering', and directly talked about meeting each other.

It's a bit of a weirdness.

What tricks is Pinky playing?

The strategy revealed in the letter is not right. And there are also a few super fierce people around Littlefinger, Robert Royce is both wise and brave, it is his strategy and courage to rescue His Majesty Shireen, and the Royce family lives on the island, Robert has been proficient in water since he was a child, and he is also proficient in naval warfare.

Will closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, if the information on Littlefinger's letter was fake, then it meant that he had succeeded. He managed a large number of troops, and the warriors of the Three Sisters Islands were all brave, and almost all of them were pirate families. If you succeed but say that you don't succeed, then there is only one explanation: absolute secrecy, and the threshing field is caught off guard.

There is also a possibility that Will also sensed it: Littlefinger is testing Robb's strategy and Will's wit to see if they can see through the surface of the letter and secretly compete to see whose mind is better?

If this is the case, then the beating of the little finger is not enough.

Will remembered when he ordered Carter Pike to cut off Littlefinger's left hand, and he warned Littlefinger not to play tricks or kill him.

But Littlefinger's behavior is not a trick, he has a good reason, such as he wants to attack the valley plains, he wants to make sure that military information is not leaked, he didn't tell Robb the truth, because he was worried that Robb had Lannisters around him.

Will suddenly felt that there was a high-intelligence guy like Littlefinger around him who did have a headache, and if Petyr had something, he could have made an appointment with Will in advance to write a password secret letter, and just agreed on a letter signal. But he likes to play dumb riddles like this.

"This is a letter that deliberately did not write the true situation. Will said to Robb.

"Oh?!" Robb looked at Will quizzically.

"The strategy I agreed with Master Petyr was that he would first ship around the Three Sisters, and then he would go up to the island to negotiate, and the letter did not mention negotiations at all. ”

"Maybe the battle will start as soon as the battleship arrives. Robb said, "The Three Sisters don't accept negotiations at all. ”

"Then if that's the case, the other hundred ships escorting Her Majesty Shireen will go to support Lord Petyr after completing their mission, and White Harbor will also send troops, but obviously, no. ”

Robb again compared several letters from White Harbor with those from Petyr, and sure enough, it was exactly as Will said.

"Why is Petyr lying?"

"He didn't want the news to leak out, maybe now his legion had crept into the valley plains and was preparing to sneak up on the valley. ”

"He doesn't trust me?" said Robb, "and he suspects I have Lannisters around me." ”

"Maybe he's deliberately trying to see if you and I are smart enough. Will said to himself, he wouldn't say it, and Robb wouldn't understand someone like Littlefinger.

Will had already concluded in his mind that Littlefinger wanted to test Robb's and his own IQ, which was a few scales worse than his Petyr.

"He doesn't want the news to leak out of you, and he doesn't want you to take more credit than he does. If you don't manage to take the Blood Gate, and he's already taken down the castles of the Vale nobles on the plains of the Valley......" Will smiled slightly.

Robb said, "Littlefinger is still small after all. ”

"I'm going to see how the Bloodgate is defending tonight, and I'm going to see where Lord Littlefinger's Petyr's legion is?"

"Good. ”

"I'll be back at midnight, and if Littlefinger's legion has secretly entered the valley, we'll have to change our strategy and launch a surprise attack tonight. ”

Tonight's surprise attack was Wilding's strategy, Robb initially disagreed, he was going to attack the Blood Gate at dawn tomorrow.

"Good. Robb agreed.

He can't let Littlefinger overpower him and Lord Will in this battle, and besides, this is his revenge battle, and it can't be turned into a show battle for Littlefinger. If he continued to attack the Blood Gate, and Littlefinger had already taken all of the Vale Castles, and the legion surrounded the first castle to go up the hill under the Giant's Spear, then he and Lord Will would be disgraced.

Things got out of hand due to Littlefinger's unruly play, and Robb immediately revised his original strategic idea, and he resolutely changed his tactics to ensure that he could get revenge on the Lannisters himself.

Robb Stark's emotions give way to calm reason.
