While one of Drogokao's Kou led 5,000 cavalry through the dense forests of the Delta, on the other side of the Narrow Sea, an army marched through the mountains of the valley.

The Legion flag flutters.

The banner at the head is the Crown Stag, and there is no ring of flame around the Crown Buck. This marked the disappearance of Melisandre's authority and influence.

The banner is a return to the centuries-old tradition of the Baratheon family, and this flag is the flag of the royal family today, symbolizing the royal power of Westeros.

The first female king of the mainland was in the army, and she was Shireen Baratheon, who was only ten years old. At her side are Lord Eddard Stark, Guardian of the Realm, Regent, Guardian of the North, and Guardian of the East, Barristan Sermi, Captain of the Kingsguard, Bran Stark, the nine-year-old Kingsguard, and his formidable Icewolf Summer, Secretary of the Sea, Ronald Clinton, and Commander of the King's Landing Garrison, Jory Kesso......

Behind the royal family's crown buck banner is an ice wolf banner. Next to the Icewolf banner is the Eagle's Nest banner of the Clinton family under Fort Wind's End. On the flag, a pair of battle griffins are red and white, with half white and the other half red.

The hundred-man Great Wall Rangers led by Carter Pike and Jon Snow are bannered by a black raven flying in the sky against the backdrop of the Great Wall, and below the raven is the lonely back of a small night watchman riding a war horse.

The small group landed in Seagulltown, most of the legionnaires remained on more than three hundred ships, and Eddard Stark led a thousand generals and guards to the valley.

The valley is rich in heritage, and the legion that goes to the bitter bridge is only a small part of the strength of the valley.

Rysa Tully, the Guardian of the Vale, has collected the army of the Vale, which will be handed over to the Guardian of the East, Eddard Stark, to take his command.

The conquest of the Vale Legion was Eddard Stark's second order after he became Warden and Regent of the Realm. At the same time, both the Riverlands and the Westlands to the west of the valley received orders from Eddard Stark to guard the entire territory and to recruit legions from the Regent.

Although the major lords and nobles have their own plans, and no one can see whose plans are clear, Eddard Stark can only carry it out as a royal order and regent, and first take advantage of the political 'justification'.

Although it was already known that Kaivon and Tyrell had hired the Golden Knights, everyone still maintained the political appearance of respecting the Baratheon family as the king, and Kaivon and Tyrell did not openly raise the flag of rebellion, and all the people who were responsible were the mercenaries of the Golden Knights, so Eddard Stark also pushed the boat, pretending not to know, and issued orders one by one, and hoped that the senior officers in the Golden Knights could put aside their past grievances and work together to fight against the strange ghosts in the north.

The high-ranking generals in the Golden Knights, seven or eight times out of ten, are the old nobles on the continent of Westeros. The current head of the regiment, Harris Stryclan, named himself 'Homeless', which shows the longing of these people to return to their homeland.

In order to settle these people, it is necessary to return their former fiefs and deprived castles, which is a very difficult problem, that is, no one who now occupies and owns those lands and castles will be willing to give up their land and castles.

The fief of the Harris Triclan clan was located in the Bend of the Tyrells, adjacent to the lands of the Landautari family.

Eddard Stark was quick to cut through the chaos, neither pursuing the Golden Knights' assault on Storm's Rest and the many castles they occupied, nor going head-on with the Golden Knights, who were in the limelight, and the number of troops he could muster after the urban turmoil caused by Melisandre was less than 5,000.

After the naval battle, the total number of Tyrion legions on Dragonstone Island and the legions of Carter Pike exceeded 10,000 people, and their strength increased greatly, but since the Golden Knights and Kaivon Tyrell were in the same group, he led his army to fall into their encirclement. And if he doesn't go, the coalition forces that are temporarily kept in the dark will be safe.

If Kaivon and Tyrell want to achieve great things, they must win over the nobles from all over the world to support them, and they will try to find a way to get the support of the royal courtiers as much as possible, and the real target of their work is naturally the royal blood of Eddard Stark and Baratheon.

And as long as Eddard Stark and Shireen Baratheon are still there, and the power of the Northern Vale Riverlands is still there, Kayvon and Tyrell can only superficially remain subservient to the Baratheon.

Eddard Stark avoided it and deliberately left King's Landing, leading his army north, under the banner of fighting the Strangers first.

They set out from Dragonstone and took the sea route, and the first stop on their journey north was to choose the valley where they openly claimed to follow the new queen.

Rysa Tully paid for Eddard Stark's march north and proclaimed Syren Baratheon as king.

Eddard Stark didn't want to go north, as long as he got a new legion in the Vale and gathered his forces from the Riverlands, he quietly turned around and fought back to King's Landing, secretly heading south, and smashing the Golden Knights entrenched in the territory of Storm's End.

This military strategy cannot be divulged.

The Golden Knights will not be able to take Storm's End, and if the army goes north to King's Landing, it will be vulnerable to the enemy.

Storm's End has been the fiefdom of House Baratheon for hundreds of years, and its influence is so deep-rooted that as soon as the Golden Knights leave, the conquered Storm's End will rebel and return to Storm's End rule. And Storm's Rest itself was not taken by the Golden Knights. The castle is too strong, and the fierce man who defends the city, Cortanai Ponlos, is a tough guy who sees death as if he were at home, and the Golden Knights will not be able to take Storm's Rest Fort by storming it in a short time.

Shireen Baratheon became queen, and Kavon and Tyrell would become enemies of the state if they openly rebelled. Their honor will also self-destruct and break the hearts and minds of the people in their realm.

Now their fig leaf is the mercenary Golden Knights!

For fear of the conflict intensifying, Eddard Stark did not dare to uncover this layer of cloth.

Ed Stark has his own plans, as do Kayvon, Tyrellle, and Jon Clinton of the Golden Regiment.

After Eddard Stark led the legion through the Bloodgate in the Vale, Mia Shidong (Robert's illegitimate daughter in the Vale) who had been taken in by him as a sidekick in the Vale's Nest to change her lowly status approached Eddard Stark and whispered, "My lord, I think you need to be careful, something may be wrong. ”

Mia Shidong has lived in the Arryn Valley since he was a child and knows everything in the valley inside out. Before following Eddard Stark, she was also a guide who could easily get up and down the Eagle's Nest in the dark, and the others, even men, were not as comfortable and familiar with the road as she was.

Towering into the sky, the Eagle's Nest is built on top of the Giant's Spear, and the road up the mountain is extremely steep. From the foot of the mountain, it is a whole day of walking, and at night the mountain wind is howling, and the gravel falls on the mountain road, which is thrilling and difficult to walk.

Eddard Stark didn't feel anything wrong.

"I've never seen the generals guarding the Blood Gate, and the soldiers are strangers too. ”
