Griffins fly down the valley. The flames fell to the ground. Will jumped off without waiting for Aquamarine to land, and Aquamarine flapped its wings and flew high. Will grabbed Blaze's side and unloaded thirty Valyrian swords for him.

Thirty Valyrian swords were heavy, and Blaze had really worked hard this time.

Blaze and Aquamarine aren't full-fledged griffons yet, and they need time to grow stronger.

From the Great Wall of Desperation to the valley valley, it is more than two thousand miles.

Blaze and Azurite grew rapidly during this time, just like teenagers, when they were the longest in their bodies.

Will patted Blaze's neck and spoke softly to Blaze. Although the griffon does not speak human language, he is extremely intelligent, and he can understand Will's praise and comfort for him, and Will thanks him for his hard work this time.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Black Girl Ash arrived with twelve Ash guards. They served as vanguard scouts in Robb's army.

Will patted Flame's neck, and Flame rose into the air, chasing Azurite.

The valley mountains are full of wolfworms, wild goats, wild horses, these are the best food for griffins. At the same time, griffons are also the best scouts.

The guards jumped off their horses.

Black Girl Ash and Able Ash walked ahead, their eyes falling on the swords heaped on the ground. The scabbard is adorned with patterns of the Great Wall of Desperation and ravens.

"My lord, Valyrian Steel Sword?" the black girl's voice was distorted, and her eyes shone like a shadow lynx.

"Yes, Valyrian Steel Sword. ”

"How many?" Abel trembled with excitement.

"Thirty!" each of these swords was heavier than a sword of the same length and thickness, and thirty Valyrian steel swords were so heavy that Will himself could not hold them.

"Will our Guards have a chance to get one?" Black Girl Ash crouched down and reached for her scabbard. The scabbard is also finely worked, and at first glance it is from the hands of a famous artist.

"There are two guards in the regiment. Will said, "You and Abel are alone. ”

"Really?" said Black Girl and Able in unison.

The ten brothers behind him all had envious expressions on their faces.

"Really. ”

Heiya and Able were ecstatic, and the expressions on their faces exploded.

"However, these two swords are only for you to use first, and the swords will be handed back after each battle. Will said.

Black Girl and Able froze in ecstasy.

"My lord, what does it take to have a Valyrian steel sword?" two flames burned in the black girl's eyes.

"Meritorious. Fight bravely and fearlessly. Loyal. Superb swordsmanship. ”

"I'm going to make a big difference this time. I also practice swordsmanship. The black girl said in a resolute tone.

Able walked up to the thirty swords, crouched down, and picked up a Valyrian longsword with a black scabbard, and he drew his sword, and a cold light shot out, like a spirit of light imprisoned in a scabbard. The cold air suddenly drifted out, causing the temperature of the air to drop.

All the brothers felt the edge of the sword, and the cold air was cold.

"Good sword!" Abel looked at with fascination.

The Valyrian Steel Sword lives up to its name.

Heiya gently picked up a long sword carved with the hilt of a flying eagle, and he slowly drew the sword, the cold air piercing his face like a sharp needle. His face leaned over to take a closer look at the blade.

There is a pale cyan halo on the body of the sword, which is the hammer shadow left by the blacksmith's thousands of hammers, and this kind of hammer shadow of uniform size is unique to the Valyrian steel sword.

"My lord, what's the name of this sword?" Before Heiya could fully draw his sword, he had already been conquered by this sword. He wanted to get this sword so much that he didn't get it when he was fighting, only to have to return it when he was done.

"On the hilt of each sword, there are initials of the master who cast it. The name of every master, like this sword, deserves to be remembered and respected. ”

The black girl couldn't listen to Will's affectionate words at all, what kind of master's initials, he glanced at it and ignored it: "Lord Will, can I name this sword myself?"

"Of course!"

"Very well, then I'll call him Ash. Heiya said. He secretly made up his mind that he must make a great contribution in battle in exchange for the reward of ashes.

Such a good sword, you don't need to test its sharpness or not, pull it out, just the cold air and sword light, and the dark lines on the sword body, conquer the heart of the black girl.

Any swordsman who likes swords, and returns such a good sword after using it, is torture for him.

But flowers for beauties, swords for heroes, and to truly own a sword, you have to be a hero.

Able silently pulled out the second sword, this sword turned out to be pale green, the sword body was as bright as a lake, as if you could see the inside of the sword body at a glance, and the quality of the sword gave people a translucent feeling.

The strangeness of this sword made the black girl's gaze freeze for a moment, and the ash he had just named himself suddenly became unattractive, and he suddenly wanted to have this sword.

"Lord Will, I want this sword, and I named him Green Lake. Abel was thrilled.

"You only have to use power, and you have to hand it back when the war is over. Unless you make yourself a hero. Will said lightly.

"Yes, sir. Abel Ash immediately hung his sword around his waist.

There are also dozens of swords on the ground.

The black girl was not reconciled, and pulled out the second sword, and couldn't put it down, and pulled out the third sword, and felt that it was better than the second sword, and couldn't put it down, and pulled out the fourth sword, and felt that it was better than the previous sword, and couldn't put it down.

Will commanded, "Take your ashes, black girl." ”

The black girl was unhappy, and he hoped that Lord Will would give him time to choose his favorite sword. Will said, "Black girl, you take out the ashes and take a look, and if you don't think it's good, I'll allow you to change it again."

The black girl pulled out the ashes he had originally chosen, the cold sword light, and the sword body reflected an elongated figure, and he suddenly felt that the other swords were overshadowed in front of the ashes.

The black girl entered the blindness of choice, and any sword that was drawn at the last time, he thought was the best.

"Match it, or I'll cancel your chance to get the Valyrian Steel Sword to fight. ”

"Thank you, Lord Will. The black girl hurriedly laughed and hurriedly hung the ashes on her sword belt.

The brothers laughed.

Will said, "Brothers, you are all my best brothers in life and death, but the Valyrian steel sword cannot be equipped with all of you, which is unfair to the leaders and generals of the other legions. Sword, anyone can get them, even if not in war, but because of their excellent performance, they will also receive a gift of Valyrian steel sword. ”

Twelve Ash Warriors shouted for peace.

The warrior style of the Ash Tribe is very similar to that of the Free People, that is, they like to shout mountains, or rather shout mountains. On the march or in ordinary times, they like to shout in a long voice, at first one person, then a second person picks up, and finally all of them shout, the syllables are very simple, but full of power.

Will is very appreciative of this kind of shouting. In fact, the kind of shouting that generals are trained to be trained on the battlefield is also similar to shouting mountains.

Will suddenly had an idea, so he said: "Green Lake and Ash, these two swords have been passed down among our twelve brothers of the guard, how to use them, I hope you will decide every time you vote, based on the progress of swordsmanship, combat achievements, and loyal qualities, and can also be recycled in a certain way." When the war is over, there is no need to turn it in. These two swords belong to your common twelve brothers. Whoever keeps it in normal times is up to you to discuss it yourself. ”

The twelve brothers suddenly erupted into a shout that seemed to be hundreds of people, and the sound reverberated through the valley. They were not afraid of being discovered by the scouts in the valley, and Commander Robb gave the order, and this operation, all in the open, no feints, no temptations, no night raids, no cover-ups and military strategies, just undisguised attacks, everything was carried out in broad daylight.

Robb wants to avenge his father, Eddard Stark.

All those who dare to jump out and stop will be crushed.

The valley is very powerful, but there are still great nobles who secretly collude with Kevon Lannister and are not in the territory, such as Robert Royce's father, Bronze Jon.

*

The sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and around the corner of the valley, a huge banner was revealed, on which was an ice wolf, the banner of the Stark family in the North. Behind this flag, there is a flag depicted with a man standing on a black bear, which is the flag of the Mormont family on Bear Island. Rows and rows of axemen appeared neatly under the leadership of Maggie Mormont.

Maggie Mormont made it her decision to be the vanguard of the crusade against the Vale when Will and her conquered Seagull Town. She contacted Robb through Raven and rushed from Seagull Town to Taniguchi to join Robb's army, and finally got her wish and became the vanguard of the Legion.

Five hundred axe men are almost all of the Mormont family's strength.

Bear Island is barren and sparsely populated, and it is not easy to come up with 500 axe soldiers. Among them were women, and Maggie Mormont never believed that women were weaker than men. Her eldest daughter, Daisy Mormont, is a beautiful and skilled martial artist, and is at the forefront of the desperate Great Wall: the Allied Defensive Cavalry under the Ancestral Fist Peak.

Maggie Mormont is hell-bent on marrying Daisy to Robb Stark.

*

"Lord Will!" Maggie Mormont saw the Hand of the King, the gold badge on Will's chest. But she still refuses to call Will the Prime Minister, in her heart, Eddard Stark is the real Prime Minister, and besides, Will's identity is the Night Watchman. This was unbelievable before, Maggie thought that Will could become Prime Minister was an expedient measure after Her Majesty Shireen was in distress, and she thought that the people who were qualified to be Prime Minister should be the Stark family, not Will, who was the Night Watch after all.

This is also the idea that most nobles hide in their hearts, but in view of the situation and the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, and there are many generals who support Will, no nobles are willing to say it in person, and they all bury their thoughts in their hearts.

"Lady Maggie, there's an open space ahead, let's camp in front. After that clearing, there is a narrow mountain road, the widest place can only accommodate four people walking side by side, and the narrow place can only accommodate two riders in parallel. There are high mountains on both sides, and if the Bloodgate Knight orders his soldiers to lie in ambush on the mountain and push down the rolling stones, we will be annihilated. ”

"Yes, Lord Will. However, your guards have been appointed as scouts by Lord Robb, and they should be sent to check if the enemy is ambushing the mountainside. Maggie Mormont said.

"No, I've sent better scouts. Will pointed to the sky. His two griffons were not only out looking for food, but also to see if there were any enemy ambushes along the way.

The reason why Robb used Will's guards in the mountains to scout was because the people of the Ash Tribe had lived in the colder and more precipitous Wolf Forest Mountains since they were children, and they were familiar with mountain roads and climbed the peaks of the mountains as if they were on the ground. In the mountains, Heiya and the others also have a natural sensitivity to danger, they are like shadow lynxes.

It has to be said that Robb has a very outstanding military talent for employing people to fight wars.

Maggie Mormont's five hundred axemen moved on, and she stood aside to talk to Will. Heiya and the others were Will's guards, and when Will returned, there were griffins in the sky to investigate, so they stayed and surrounded Will's side.

"These swords?" said Maggie Mormont. She could see that these swords were different, the scabbards were very simple, without the decoration of precious stones and gold, and they were completely different from noble swords, but they revealed a murderous aura.

"It's all Valyrian swords. Will said lightly.

"So many?" said Maggie Mormont in disbelief.

The military operation of the Great Wall to forge three hundred Valyrian steel swords was a secret and not all generals knew about it. The temptation to find a master blacksmith from all over the world is not the lost technique of forging Valyrian steel swords, but the sky-high wages.

Money has no credit, but money has an echo. The great blacksmiths from all over the country responded, and they came.

Will notices that Maggie has retrieved the family sword, Claw, from Tyronn Ash. Because of this incident, Maggie has a grudge against Will, and she thinks that if Longclaw is in the hands of Commander-in-Chief Mormont, maybe her brother will not die. As for the possibility that the claws would most likely be obtained by the strangers, she refused to accept them.

Taryn Ash is a barbarian in the mountains, and Maggie doesn't blame the rough man, she blames Will. Will is the leader of Taryn Ash. This blame is often revealed through Maggie's words and deeds.

Will knew this about Maggie.

"Lady Maggie, I have prepared a Valyrian steel sword for Daisy that suits her very well, the sword is slender, but the weight is lighter than these swords, the sword is very suitable for Daisy's light swordsmanship, the director of the Great Wall Armory has sent the rangers to deliver the sword to Daisy Mormont's hands. ”

"Humph!" Maggie snorted, but Will's face began to soften.

To forge a sword suitable for Daisy's swordsmanship, this shows that at the beginning of sword casting, Will was on his mind. Although Daisy is outstanding in martial arts, she is a woman after all, and her arm strength is not as strong as that of a man, so the weight of her sword should be lighter to be more suitable for her swordsmanship.

Will deliberately showed favor to the Mormont family because he knew that the Mormont family were loyal and righteous people.

Maggie Mormont drew a series of Valyrian steel swords that blew her eyes away, as well as the distinctly colored swords she had never seen before, this sword was from Gendry, the only weapon master in the Swordforge Castle who could penetrate the paint into the blade.

Compared to these Valyrian steel swords, Maggie's long claws were crude.

This puzzled her.

But she is an extremely face-saving person, she will never ask this question, and she will never admit it verbally. The same Valyrian steel sword, her sword is forged by a real Valyrian blacksmith and has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there is no reason why it will not be comparable to the skill of Will's blacksmith master now.

Will could see Lady Maggie's confusion, though she tried her best to hide it.

Compared to any of the Valyrian steel swords, the long claws were significantly inferior in terms of sword qi and cold light.

It's a question that Maggie can't figure out and doesn't want to admit.

Who wants the famous sword inherited by the family to be compared to a large number of swords?

"My sword is more condensed. Maggie said.

"Yes, but if your sword is re-quenched and cooled by the ice water of the Great Wall, it will become sharper and more life-like. Will said lightly.

"Ice water at the Great Wall?"

"Yes, the ice water of the Great Wall will be used as the cooling water for the weapon, which will make the weapon have a cold and pressing temperament, the sword quality will have a sense of transparency, the sword edge will be sharper, and the sword body will be tougher. ”

"Why?"

"The Great Wall is a huge magic circle that blocks the passage of strange ghosts and ghouls, and the ice water of the Great Wall has special magical powers. This power will enter the sword body through the ice water of the Great Wall. ”
