Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 45 The Nobles of the North
Da da da!
A cavalry team with a male mermaid flag standing upright and holding a trident, escorting a richly decorated carriage and more than a dozen transport carriages, was about to arrive at the south gate of Winterfell.

Received the news in advance, Earl Rickard, who was in charge of the reception work, saw the cavalry team from a long distance.

He rode up with his son and the guard of honor to meet him.

"Haha, isn't this the carriage of Lord 'Too Fat to Ride'? Why don't you come out to meet old friends?"

Earl Rickard, who has a straightforward personality, shouted loudly as soon as he approached the gorgeous carriage.

"parking!"

Hearing the rough shouts outside, the people in the carriage stopped the carriage and opened the door.

Wearing bright colors and expensive cloth noble casual clothes, the fat and rich Earl Wyman stepped out of the carriage.

He shot back at Earl Rickard angrily: "Master Robb asked you, an impolite barbarian, to do the job of welcoming Winterfell, aren't you afraid of offending all the northern nobles?"

Listening to the familiar ridicule from his old friend, Earl Rickard got off his horse with a smile on his face.

After walking forward a few steps, the two opened their arms and gave a big bear hug.

"Hahaha, big fat man, long time no see!"

"Long time no see, rude barbarian!"

After a while of heavy punches between the men, Earl Rickard simply let his son lead his steed, and he comfortably got into Earl Wyman's luxurious carriage, and continued towards Winterfell.

"Big Fatty, White Harbor is not too far from Winterfell, why did it take you so long to arrive?"

In the carriage, Earl Rickard unceremoniously picked up a bunch of grapes from the dinner plate and asked while eating.

Of course, Earl Wyman would not mind the rude behavior of his old friend. He replied with a smile: "The goods ordered for Lord Robb are the things on the carriage that will be transported later."

"Oh!"

"Huh? Why are you not curious about what it is?"

Seeing the old friend answering perfunctorily and then concentrating on eating the grapes, Earl Wyman asked in surprise.

"During this time with Lord Robb, I learned to do more and not to ask too much.

I don't want to know what he's planning. "

Earl Rickard shook his head and answered, then put down the grapes in his hand, approached Earl Wyman and said softly,
"He is completely different from Lord Ed, who likes to fight head-on. Roose Bolton, who is good at calculating, was calculated by him. The Dreadfort fell and he was captured.

As an old friend, let me remind you that the current Winterfell is completely different from before, don't have any delusions in your heart, and be content with your own duty! "

Wiman listened carefully with a serious face, knowing that his old friend had a shrewd mind under his rough appearance.

Even he is a little afraid of the young wolf lord. It seems that Winterfell has indeed undergone considerable changes during this period of time.

"Haha, don't you know me? I just want to do business with you."

"That's right, I know you, a fat man, are very loyal to Lord Ed, and you certainly won't have any delusions."

"Of course, yes, I heard that your two sons are both in the Wolf Guard, and now they are high-ranking officers in Winterfell City."

"Hey hey, that's right, don't you look at who their father is?"

The two old friends in the carriage chatted and gradually entered Winterfell.

Due to the recent arrival of too many noble earls and noble family representatives from the northern border, the guest room area of ​​the main castle has already been fully occupied.Earl Wyman and his party were placed in the guest room building on the left side of the school grounds.

The guest room was originally prepared by Winterfell for a large number of guests. The rooms in the whole building are enough to accommodate all the guests, but the overall accommodation conditions are definitely not as good as those in the main castle.

Earl Wyman was quite familiar with the rules of Winterfell. He was well prepared and waved his hand to let a large group of servants carrying all kinds of things enter the room to rearrange.

The servants are all prepared in advance, all kinds of animal skin plush blankets, gold and silver lamps and tableware, fine wine, and food.

After three or two efforts, they will dress up the relatively simple guest room in a luxurious and comfortable way.

This made Earl Rickard, whose economic situation has not been very good, envious.

If the servants of Winterfell hadn't informed that it was time for the dinner, he still wanted to stay in Earl Wyman's room and enjoy the fine wine and food.

In the banquet hall, the previous decorations for the Triumph Banquet have not been dismantled, so this time it happens to be reused.

When Wayman and Earl Rickard stepped into the banquet gate, they found that the long table in the hall was full of many northern nobles who were discussing loudly.

Lord Wyman saw some old acquaintances, such as a gray-haired, short but very strong middle-aged woman, she was the ruler of Bear Island, Meggie Mormont.Robb's bodyguard captain, Daisy's mother.

A tall man nearly seven feet tall, his exposed torso was covered with thick muscles.

He had a fierce and terrifying face, but now he was smiling and praised his son loudly.

He is the Lord of Last Hearth, Jon Umber, known as the Greatjon.The commander of the Winterfell cavalry, the father of Little Jon.

Wearing leather armor embroidered with the family crest of six thistles, a little old man with disheveled long hair, wrinkled face, and unusually sharp eyes.He is the patriarch of Clan Norrie, Earl of Norrie, Marshal of the Winterfell Foot, and Owen's uncle.

After his careful observation, Earl Wyman found an interesting thing.

Among the northern nobles present, apart from families whose descendants served as high-level military officers in Winterfell, and the rulers of the territory who came in person, the only one who was the closest to Winterfell, only half a riding day away, was the Earl of Seven City, Michi Seven arrived.

The rest of the northern noble families basically sent representatives to come.

From a certain point of view, this shows that some noble families in the northern border still have many doubts about the young wolf's capture of the Dreadfort and the capture of Roose Bolton.

Before Earl Wyman could think about it, Earl Rickard pulled him and squeezed him into a long table to sit down.

When Earl Wyman chatted with Earl Severn, who was on the table with a kind face and a well-spoken manner, the banquet was about to officially begin.

On the high platform of the banquet hall, Mrs. Caitlin led Brandon and Rickon who were being hugged on the stage.

"All nobles who are loyal to the Stark family, on behalf of the Stark family, I sincerely welcome you.

The initiator of this banquet was the acting lord Robb Stark, but because he was in the barracks outside the city, preparing for tomorrow's military parade, he was unable to be there. I hereby express my deep apologies.

But these are unstoppable. Tonight we drink wine enthusiastically and enjoy delicious food.

Now, the banquet officially begins! "

As Caitlin's voice fell, the door of the banquet hall opened, and a row of servants came up with novel delicacies.

Wiman was still thinking about the 'military parade' that Caitlin just mentioned, but he was attracted by the novelty food on the table in a blink of an eye.

This dinner really made Earl Wiman, who has eaten all over the world, redefine what food is.

There are whole chickens wrapped in mud and smelling delicious when opened, and pork slices covered in chili peppers and finally topped with boiling oil.

There is also a strange soup pot that cooks various ingredients in one pot and makes people sweat profusely.

According to Lord Rickard, who gulped down the food, he vaguely said that Lord Robb invented all of these.

Earl Wyman, who was also full of food, felt that the changes in Winterfell were indeed quite big!
