Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

The inside and outside of Harrenhal were filled with the corpses of siege soldiers, defenders, and prisoners. A large number of northern soldiers and riverland soldiers were clearing up the battlefield.

Earl Tytos watched the soldiers under his command pick up the mutilated body of Earl Jason, with an undisguised sadness on his face.

Earl Jason's body was hacked countless times by the brutal Demon Mountain. The soldiers who collected the body couldn't spell out his complete body. Only the remaining half of his head could identify him.

"Lord Tytos, all the enemies in Harrenhal have been cleaned up. There are still a lot of food and loot in the underground storage room, and I have asked someone to count them.

After the cavalrymen of the Brotherhood Without Banners collected the spoils of the Lannister cavalry, they were preparing to leave with the Mountain and some prisoners.

The horses and weapons of the Lannister cavalry are very valuable, don't we..."

A Blackwood officer came up behind Lord Tytos and whispered an update on the situation.

"The Brotherhood Without Banners... I've heard their name before.

They have been harassing the Lannister family in the rear for more than half a year.It wasn't for them helping the infantry to defeat the Lannister cavalry before, and now there will be our bodies lying on the ground.

His Majesty Robb is fighting in the West, and Lord Brynden is building Riverrun. Most of our remaining men are recruits, so don't make enemies for no reason.

What the broken river land needs most now is peace! "

Tytos pondered for a while, and after weighing the value of the Lannister cavalry booty and the pros and cons of falling out with the Brotherhood Without Banners, he shook his head and replied to the officer.

"Yes, I understand!"

In this way, the devastated Hejian land finally restored calm order, and a large number of displaced Hejian land civilians who survived by chance began to build their homes again.

……

The Reach, Highgarden.

After a few days of cleaning and maintenance, more than half of the corpses and traces of destruction left over from the Gaoting War where more than [-] people fought in melee had disappeared.

The ability to restore the original appearance of the High Court so quickly is due to the tens of thousands of civilians gathered in the High Court at this moment.

After the war, the Tyrell family issued an order to summon civilians to serve as laborers, and the reward was only rough food provided by them.But there are still thousands of civilians scrambling to get the labor jobs.

There is no way, due to Gaoting's defensive tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields in the early stage, the farmland, trees, and villages at close range were all reduced to scorched earth.

The surrounding area of ​​Gaoting, which has been piled up with plant ash, will definitely be planted next year and there will be a bumper harvest.But ordinary civilians with a relatively large base have no food reserves, so how can they survive until next year!
Therefore, these civilians who were forcibly gathered in the High Court to prevent the enemy from attacking the city before the war became purely a burden on the High Court after the war.

In fact, according to the meaning of the Tyrell family, after the end of the war, they didn't want to pay attention to these civilians and planned to dismiss them directly.

After all, the Reach, the breadbasket of the Seven Kingdoms, raised the largest population in Westeros with its wide and fertile land.They didn't pay attention to the life and death of tens of thousands of people.

But in Robb's eyes, these tens of thousands of civilians are valuable labor.In the previous life, there was a well-known term, human resources!
Manpower is equal to resources, which can generate value!It just needs the right means of utilization!

In the end, Robb made the decision to use work for relief in his previous life. How dare the Tyrell family, who had just pledged their allegiance, have the slightest objection, and then issued the previous order to recruit labor to repair the High Court.

Of course, the south gate of Gaoting, which was badly damaged, still looks the same.

Not to mention the two defensive round towers that were destroyed by the explosion of the black oil in the flamethrower, the white marble city wall that was scorched black just couldn't be restored for a while.

However, for the Tyrell family whose accumulated gold alone is worth millions of golden dragons, the losses caused by this war are within their acceptable range.

Da da da!
Robb was sitting on the back of the blood wind broad wolf with a face of contemplation, and was heading towards Highgarden Castle through the west gate.

When the war ended a few days ago, he rejected the invitation of the Tyrell family and led the northern army to station in the area from the west city gate to the port area.

After all, their two forces have just started to contact, and it is more reassuring for both parties to keep a certain distance.

When Robb and his party walked through the plant maze from West City Gate Avenue to the civilian area behind, they immediately aroused whispers from the surrounding civilians.

"Dad, look! It's the Ice King of the North, wow! Paul didn't lie to me, that giant wolf is really as tall as the house!"

"Hush, keep your voice down. Hurry up and kneel down!"

A civilian boy talked about Robb and Bloodwind loudly in an excited tone, and his father immediately knelt down to salute his head.

As the father and son knelt down to salute, the surrounding civilians seemed to have reacted, and immediately fell to their knees in a big way.

The Ice King?

Who nicknamed me this?There is no style at all!

Robb, who had been thinking about recent events in his mind, rolled his eyes and complained in his heart when he heard what the civilian boy said.

In fact, this nickname came from the Tyrell family cavalry and the infantry army that came last.

When they entered the West Gate of Gaoting from the Esplanade through the Mande River Bridge.Looking from the top down, the [-]-meter frozen Mande River brought them a huge shock.

The scene of Robb and the blood wind freezing the river was seen by tens of thousands of people at that time. After gradually spreading, they used the King of Ice, which was derived from the Stark family's sword Ice, as a reward for him. respectful title.

Facing a large number of civilians kneeling around, Robb, who had fully integrated into the world, did not ask them to get up.Instead, he passed in front of them very calmly and calmly.

Ok?
When he came to the west gate of the second city wall, Robb saw the pretty and beautiful Margaery in the crowd at a glance.She had just returned to Highgarden yesterday from Crake Hall with the Duke of Mace.

Margaery is wearing a set of exquisite light green embroidered skirt today. The very slim top not only reveals her graceful figure, but also reveals her white shoulders and the whiteness and tenderness in front of her.

The soft brown curly hair was not specially combed into a hairstyle like last time, but was scattered on the white shoulders, and the wavy soft brown hair almost fell straight to the waist.

At this time, she was distributing pieces of divided rye bread of similar size to the civilian laborers who lined up at the second city wall with a focused expression.

Really can buy people's hearts!
Looking at Margaret, who kept taking rye bread from the handmaid and handing it out to the civilian laborers who finished their work, and kept talking to them with a concerned expression on her face, Robb couldn't help but let out an admiration in his heart.

Indeed, anyone looking at it from the outside would think that Margaery is definitely a model of aristocrats who are gentle, kind and popular.These can be seen from the fanatical expressions on the faces of a large number of civilians.

During the period of Robb's observation, even though the hem of the exquisite skirt was stained by the mud on the ground, and the black palm prints were scratched by the dirty hands of a commoner child on the white hands,
Margaery also always had a spring-like smile on her face, and continued her actions indifferently.

As soon as Robb thought about it, the blood wind went straight in the direction of Margaery.

"His Majesty!"

Margaery, who had been concentrating on the matter at hand, didn't seem to notice Robb's arrival.
It wasn't until the crowd around her knelt down that she realized it. She quickly lifted the sides of her dress with both hands, and gave him a very standard curtsey.

"Well, get up! Margaery, my beautiful fiancée! Thank you so much.

Is there enough food to continue handing out? "

When Robb spoke, Bloodwind fell directly to the ground.But Robb, who was sitting on its back, was still looking down at Margaery.

"Your Majesty, if I can't stand this bit of suffering, then how can I be worthy of being your queen!
Please rest assured that the food we have prepared is sufficient to feed all the civilians. "

After Margaery heard the words, a smile appeared on her fair and delicate face, and she nodded in reply.

"Very good! Since my people can fill their stomachs, it means that my decision to let them work in exchange for food is correct!"

Hearing Margaery's answer, Robb looked at the civilians around him who slowly stood up, and said directly.

"Did you hear that? It turns out that the Ice King gave us laborers the opportunity to work!"

"Yeah! Without this job, we'd go straight back to the burned-out village and starve!"

"The mighty and benevolent Majesty Robb, and the beautiful and gentle Queen Margaery, they are a perfect match!"

The smile on Margaery's face froze immediately when she heard the discussion in her ear.

She managed her expression very quickly, then nodded and echoed: "Your Majesty is wise, the Tyrell family will always support any decision you make!"

Seeing Margaery express her attitude in front of many civilians very readily, Robb nodded secretly, and the expression on his face suddenly softened.

He suddenly stretched out his right hand towards Margaery, and then said with a gentle smile: "Today, at the invitation of Madam Olenna, I will be a guest of the Tyrell family.

Margaery, would you like to guide me who has never been to Highgarden? "

"With pleasure, Your Majesty!"

After hearing Robb's words, the smile on Margery's face became brighter. She replied and reached out to grab Robb's extended right hand.

Margaery's weight was nothing to Robb, who was stronger than the Magic Mountain. He lifted Margaery directly in front of him very easily.

Sensing the extra strangers on her body, the eyes of bloody ice crystal showed displeasure, she stood up reluctantly and continued walking towards the inner castle of Gaoting.

Sniffing the faint fragrance from Margaery's hair or body, and feeling the rubbing of her excellent figure whether it was intentional or unintentional, Robb couldn't help feeling a little bit of anger rising in his heart.

However, as long as it wasn't influenced by mysterious powers like Moonsinger's blessing.Regarding self-control, Robb is still very confident.

He secretly took a deep breath, and then whispered into Margaery's ear blocked by the brown curly hair: "Margaery, we will live together in the future.

You will be my queen, and the only queen in Westeros!
Maybe, she might become the No.1 queen of Essos. "

Listening to the words in her ear, Margaery couldn't help but her heart beat faster and her breathing became short of breath.Although she knew that Robb was trying to make a cake for her, a look of yearning inevitably appeared on her face.

"Your Majesty, my head is a bit stupid, and I don't quite understand what you mean by that!"

After Margaret forced herself to calm down, she turned her head slightly and asked Robb behind her.

"Margaery, I just said that we will live together in the future, and I want to face the real you more comfortably. Not the posture you are posing now."

"Huh, Your Majesty, in fact, I am very real when I am in contact with you now. Of course, the appearance of being kind and caring for the people just now was taught by my grandma.

However, such an image of the queen is more conducive to your rule, isn't it? "

Hearing what Robb said, Margaery's eyes flickered immediately.Then she let out a long breath and replied with a relaxed tone.

"Well, Mrs. Olenna taught you very well! You are a person close to the people and you can continue to maintain it in the future. I also think that the common people will like you as a queen very much."

Seeing that Margaery was no longer as cautious as before, Robb directly opened his mouth to discuss character design issues with her.

"Your Majesty, what does the word "personal setting" mean?"

"Well, pretend I didn't say that. By the way, Margaery, what else did you hear from what I just said?"

Robb waved his hand to her when he heard the words, then skipped the topic and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, thank you for choosing and trusting House Tyrell.

Our family will provide you with the greatest help and help you win the Iron Throne and become the only king of the Seven Kingdoms! "

How could the smart Margaery not understand what Robb said just now, she assured Robb with a sincere tone.

"Well, very good, our communication in the future should not be difficult!
However, it doesn't matter what you say about this matter, I have to listen to Mrs. Olenna's opinion.

Today, she specially invited me to be a guest, isn't it just to talk about this matter? "

Robb, who was quite satisfied with Margaery, looked at the third city wall that was getting closer, and said leisurely.

"Today, I appeared to be distributing food to the civilian laborers, but I was actually waiting for you on a special trip. In fact, this is grandma's idea, so her meaning must be the same as mine!"

"Well, I'll find out in a while!"

When Robb heard this, he replied noncommittally.Then, after finishing his business, he stretched out his free left hand to wrap around Margaery's slender waist, and kept walking and groping.

After riding a little ambiguously all the way to the inner castle like a green garden, Robb and the two walked hand in hand under the very satisfied eyes of the Duke of Mace who had been waiting for a long time.

In the ensuing meeting, Olenna, who is always sharp-tongued, is very careful when facing Robb.And Robb's behavior was also polite and polite, which gave the Tyrell family enough face.

The final result was just as Robb had expected. Even though she was very old, Olenna had a very clear mind and did not dare to make excessive demands on him.

She sincerely asked Robb to assist the Tyrell family in suppressing the rebellious families in the Reach, and held a huge wedding banquet with Margaery in line with the king's pattern.

Of course, whether it is the food, grass and military expenses of Robb's army or the cost of a huge wedding banquet, it is all borne by the rich and powerful Tyrell family.

In addition, not only the gold and materials worth 200 million golden dragons promised to Robb to rescue High Court, will be delivered to him in a short time.

The Tyrell family will also provide an additional 100 million golden dragons, 500 million bushels of wheat, 200 million bushels each of barley, oats, and rye, as well as [-] cattle and [-] sheep as a dowry.

To be honest, the wealth of the southern territories has been refreshing Robb's cognition!
Not to mention other things, the 500 million bushels of wheat alone are enough to feed an army of [-] to [-] people including the Northern Territory, the Riverlands, and the Iron Islands for nearly a year.

Upon hearing such a generous dowry, Robb's face suddenly showed a bright smile.He felt that everyone in the Tyrell family had become cash cows in his eyes.

With strong support from Margaery's wealthy natal family, he felt that there was no need to wait for the western region to stabilize as originally planned.Now they have the strength to overthrow the Lannister family from the Iron Throne!
