Night.

Starlight in the sky.

However, the woods were so dark that the starlight was barely visible.

"Jon, where are we going?" asked Ygritte quietly to Jon Snow, who was beside her.

"Don't ask. Jon Snow said.

"We're quietly marching north, what are we going to do?"

"Watch around, if there are any Frey scouts, catch them. Jon said warily.

His Icewolf White Spirit ran ahead.

The procession marched quietly through the dense forest on the side of King's Road.

The sound of the Green Fork River on the other side of King's Road was faintly heard in the silence of the night.

The woods are quite far from the King's Road.

Jon and Ygritte led the thirty scouts of the Legion at the front, and the bells, metal plates, and ringing ornaments that the cavalrymen usually wore on their horses had been removed.

"Aren't the Freys' forces gone with the Lord of the Riverlands?" said Ygritte. She had visited Luanhe City with Jon Snow a few days ago in the name of the Northern Legion, and the Frey family of Luanhe City responded to the call of the Lord of the Riverlands, and the army had left Luanhe City, and the guards on the city walls were very scarce.

However, Luanhe City is strong, the moat and the Green Fork River are connected, the water flow is deep and rapid, and in peacetime, there are no enemies around, and only a few soldiers need to watch the city gate.

"Didn't you see the Templar sparrow that was hanged in the woods the other day?"

"I see. ”

"That means the Frey family still has a certain number of troops in the city. ”

"A nobleman, of course, will have some soldiers. ”

Jon waved his hand, motioning for Ygritte to stop talking. Ygritte had no choice but to hold back.

The journey went smoothly, and none of the Frey's scouts went into the woods east of King's Road at night to patrol them. In the entire woods, apart from birds and beasts, there was not a single Templar sparrow. The Northern Army had been stationed in the Green Fork for two days, and the Templars in the woods and mountains on the east side of King's Road fled the area.

The most elite mixed legions of the North emerged from the woods and made their way to the Neck, in front of which was an endless swamp. There is only a very narrow causeway in between. This is the only causeway, and one person should not open it. Elsewhere there are water, grass, vines, flat land, bushes, very low reed forests, endlessly. The toads inside, the heart-numbing lion, the poisonous snakes, the leeches thicker than a finger, all kinds of strange and deadly creatures dominate the swamp, and it is daunting.

And those grasses that look flat, if you dare to go over, it will dare to eat you cleanly, even the horses and people, and it only takes a day and a night, and even the traces of cloth and paper floating on the shallow grass will disappear without a trace because of the natural rhythm of the swamp.

A young man with a huffy figure and a sturdy girl with a bow and arrow on her back stood on the embankment, blocking the way of the procession.

"Johan Reed?!" Jon jumped off his horse. Whisper asking.

"Jon Snow!" was sure that the boy had seen Jon Snow and his White Spirit in his dreams, as well as Ygritte beside him. He has a delicate face, handsome with the gentleness of a woman. Those bright eyes are like the bright stars in the starry sky.

Jon and Ygritte were amazed at the boy's strangely bright eyes.

Jon scrutinized the pair of teenagers in front of him. The boy is the prophet of the green vision that Lord Will said, can he foresee the future and the past through dreams? is it such a boy with a faint childish face?

However, Jon remembered that he could also see another part of the world through the eyes of the white spirit, experiencing the bloodlust of the Icewolf and the sharpness of its claws. Jon put away his suspicions about the aliens of Nine Kind's 'Green Vision'.

Ygritte, however, paid more attention to the woman after the gym. The woman was carrying a bow and arrows, and her eyes were full of vigilance and alertness, like a cat with a taut back, like Ygritte herself.

"Jiujian, this is ...... Your sister Mera Reid?"

"Yes, I'm Mera. Mera looked at Jon with a look as sharp as a falcon.

The first time Bai Ling faced Jiujian and Mera, he didn't show his fangs to threaten, which made Jon's heart move slightly. Bai Ling was always full of strong hostility towards strangers.

Ygritte found herself in love with Mera, and of course she was fond of Jojin Reed. It's just that for the child with the 'Green Vision', she is not as surprised as Jon in her heart. The freedfolk outside the Great Wall are accustomed to the Green Vision, the Aliens, the Children of the Forest, the Alien Ghouls, the Giants, and so on. They had seen so many strange people and wonders in the Thern Mountains since they were young, and miraculous miracles and ancient legends had been with them for a long time.

"Good work, Mela!" Jon said. Although Mera's face was no longer childish, looking at her eyes, she was still a big child.

Mera said coldly, "Master Jon, let's go. Lord Will had told us to beware of leaks, and this was the edge of the Frey's house. ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Jiujian said, "The cavalry will follow me, and the infantry will follow Mela." ”

"I lead the infantry. Ygritte said.

"Good!" Jon agreed.

So, in the midst of everyone's stunned, Jiujian Reed jumped into a bright water under the embankment, and in the suppressed exclamations of the crowd, the water had just submerged his instep, and his man was not trapped in the swamp and swallowed up in the blink of an eye, as everyone thought.

"Follow me, Master Jon, and you can get on your horse. ”

"Horses too?" Jon was skeptical and worried, but Will ordered him to do everything to Jiujian's arrangement.

This swamp is part of the territory of Stark in the North, and the Frogeaters and Clay Men are the natives of the swamp, and their lord is called Horan Reed, the father of Jojian and Mera.

Holland Reed is one of Ed Stark's best friends. In the Usurper War, both Robert and Eddard's best friends were nearly killed, and Holland Reed was Ed's last close friend from that war.

House Holland Reed has been loyal to House Stark in the North for three thousand years. Their ancestors have been blessed by the Stark family many times, and have been saved by the Stark family several times in the crisis of extinction. Although the two families did not marry in modern times, they were more loyal and intimate than the families who married.

If Eddard Stark can trust one person unconditionally in this world, then that person is Holland Reed. On the other hand, Holland Reed also trusts Eddard Stark, and is willing to go to great lengths for him.

More than 200 cavalry led by Jon followed Jiujian, and in a place where there was absolutely no road, they walked out of a road, and walked safely in a place that was obviously a quagmire, and soon, this cavalry team disappeared into the vast swamp.

"Let's go, too!" said Mera.

"Good!"

Mera led the infantry along the embankment for about two miles, and also deviated from the embankment, leading the group into this man-eating swamp.
