Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 21 Saving the direwolf

On the fifth day of riding, Owen, who had been riding his horse in front, easily found the traces of Robert and Ed's party.

After all, such a large group of people walked on the King's Road, leaving too many traces.

The three of Theon and Blood Wind followed far behind, waiting for them to go to the Crossroads Inn to rest.

Without the influence of unexpected forces, the force of fate is so irresistible.

The playful Arya followed the Butcher Apprentice, playing a game of sword fighting with branches by the tributary of the Trident River.

Joffrey, who was taught by Cersei, regained his sunny blond beauty and walked along the river with Sansa who was obsessed with him.

Arya quietly followed Nymeria, Theon wearing a hooded cloak and a face scarf, Little Jon and Bloodwind were hiding aside.

Things moved quickly, and when Arya sadly tried to drive Nymeria away, Theon knew his time had come.

He stretched out his hand and patted Blood Wind's head, which was almost hidden by the bushes even when he was lying down.

Of course the clever Blood Wind understood the meaning. After it got up, it silently headed towards Nymeria in a predatory bow posture.

After a while, Bloodwind brought Nymeria, who had been tamed so obediently by it, to Theon's side.

"Mission is half done, go meet Owen!"

Theon wanted to imitate Robb, scratching Bloodwind's chin as a reward.But Xuefeng dodged it with disgusted eyes.

Without embarrassment, he immediately turned to Little Jon and said.

Owen has been in charge of staring at the lady who is obediently staying at the Crossroads Hotel.

But it doesn't run around at all, so Owen has no chance to enter the inn guarded by the soldiers of the golden angry lion and the crowned stag.

When Theon and the others came to meet up, the group of them continued to wait for the opportunity.

As night fell slowly, the Cross Inn lit a torch.

Suddenly there was a commotion from the direction of the inn. As an archer, Theon, who had a good eye, saw Arya who was being escorted to the inn by Lannister soldiers.

When they entered the inn, many knights and guards poured into the inn to see how the king would handle the incident.

Seeing that most of the soldiers' eyes were attracted, Theon nodded to Owen, patted Blood Wind's head again, and moved towards the back of the hotel, where the lady's stable was tied.

In fact, Theon and Owen can handle this matter completely. With the blood wind, I am afraid that the lady will not be able to control the lady. Even though it has always been very docile, it is a direwolf after all.

The lady was tied to a post beside the stable by a thick iron chain.Its innocent eyes had no idea what was going to happen.

In order to show his attitude, Ed all the northern soldiers he brought out set off to look for Arya, leaving only Jory to report to him at the inn at any time.

So, as it should be, the lady is guarded by two Lannister soldiers in armor of golden lions.

pat!

A small stone landed on the stable post with a crisp sound.

The two Lannister guards subconsciously turned their heads to check.

Tear!

um, um...

Two pairs of black hands holding short-handled daggers stretched out from the darkness, covered their mouths, and cut their unprotected necks with ease.

It wasn't until the struggling guards with their mouths muffled that they didn't move, that Theon and Owen let go of their hands and began to rummage through their corpses for the keys to the iron chains.

Tatata!
There was a sound of hurried and fine footsteps. Seeing Arya being escorted to the king, Jory was anxious and prepared to ride a horse to inform Ed.

But who would have imagined that as soon as they passed the corner behind the hotel, they saw two masked men searching for the Lannister soldiers who fell on the ground.

Clang!
Jory subconsciously pulled out his long sword, and wanted to shout a warning.

"Bloodwind!"

Theon, who hadn't had time to get up in the future, yelled "Oops" in his heart, and immediately called for support in a low voice.

call!
A gray shadow flashed in front of Theon, and Jory's right hand holding the sword was instantly bitten by the bloody wind, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Maybe it was because Jory was someone he was more familiar with, so the blood wind didn't hit his neck directly, and he was merciful.

Otherwise, Jory's end would either be an instant death, or become a one-armed swordsman like James in the future.

"Ahem! Bloodwind?"

Jory, who choked into a cough from shouting, immediately recognized the iconic blood wind.

"Captain Jory, I don't want to kill you. Let me take the lady, that's what Robb meant!"

Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, Theon tore off the veil covering his face, and whispered to Jory who was suppressed by the blood wind.

"Robb is awake? Your target is a lady? Cough, let the blood wind rise first!"

Jory tilted his head to see Theon's appearance, and he was relieved, maybe because he was a little uncomfortable under the pressure of the blood wind, he coughed and said.

"Alright, Bloodwind."

After getting along for many years, Theon believed that it was impossible for Jory to sell them to Lannister, so he called Bloodwind away.

"I don't have time to say more, seeing Bloodwind here, I believe this is Robb's order.

You take the lady away now!Then let Blood Wind take a bite on each of the two guards' necks. "

As soon as he got up, Jory held his bleeding right hand and said to Jon.

"By the way, let the blood wind take another bite on my leg, so that the excuse that I can't pursue will become a reality."

Theon didn't say much, but nodded to Blood Wind, and Blood Wind lowered his head and bit Jory's thigh.

"hiss!"

Jory, who was biting his lip tightly, took a breath of cold air in pain. When the blood wind let go, he fell to the ground and said to Theon,

"Hurry up, I'm going to call someone!"

After finding the key, Owen had already untied the lady's iron chain. Theon nodded to Jory, put on his scarf again, and led them quickly into the darkness.

Jory, who was covered in cold sweat, saw them disappear, and finally shouted uncontrollably: "Ah! Come on!"

What followed was largely the same.

It's just that Cersei, who has lost both direwolves, has nowhere to vent.Deeply buried the resentment towards the Stark family in his heart, waiting for the final eruption in the future.

"Jory, don't go to King's Landing with you tomorrow, find a caravan headed to Winterfell, and follow them back to recuperate!"

In the inn, Jory was lying on the bed after being bandaged by the traditional Chinese medicine doctor of the King's Landing City team, and Ed stood beside him and said to him.

"Yes, Lord Ed!"

Jory nodded in reply.

Ed suddenly opened the door, glanced outside, and after confirming that no one was there, he came to Jory's bedside and said softly, "They may not be able to tell because the blood stains cover the wound.

I can be sure that the wounds on your body and those of the two Lannister soldiers cannot be bitten by the lady or Nymeria.

Is it blood wind? "

"Yes! Robb has awakened, and Theon has been ordered to bring back Lady and Nymeria!"

Naturally, Jory would not hide the truth from Ed. He wanted to find an opportunity to tell Ed. Who knew that Ed would see through his lies directly.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, go back and recuperate!"

Ed looked thoughtfully at Jory, then turned and walked out of the room.

When Ed returned to his room, Arya sat sadly on the bed and waited for him.

"Father, I want to go home! Say... are Robb and Bran awake?"

After experiencing too much today, Arya, who was very sad, immediately threw herself into Ed's arms and said.

"Robb is awake, and I believe Bran will be fine under his care!"

Ed stroked his daughter's soft hair, looked at the north, and said firmly.

What happened today made him wonder if Robb's arrangement was a coincidence, or if he foresaw an unexpected situation in advance.

But in any case, for his son Robb, Ed firmly believes in his heart that he will protect the Stark family.

　One more tonight.
