Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 8 Wolf Pack Ritual
When it was just dawn the next day, Robb had already eaten a rich breakfast, dressed neatly and walked from the main castle to the school grounds.

As soon as he stepped into the stone gate of the school field, he saw a group of soldiers in standard leather armor standing still on the school field full of arrow stacks and weapon racks, watching him silently.

Father Ed and Sir Rodrik, who was also fully armed, were waiting for him on the wooden platform in front of the school grounds.

Seeing this formation, Robb quickened his pace and stood under the high platform two or three times.

"These soldiers are the descendants of my many vassals in the north. From today onwards, you will live, train and fight with them."

As soon as Robb stood still, Ed introduced him with a solemn expression and a serious tone.

Hearing this, Robb quickly scanned the queue and found that most of them were indeed young faces.

Ed pointed to Robb with his right hand, and continued facing the soldiers.

"Robb Stark, the next Warden of the North, Lord of Winterfell. You were born in the North, and you will be buried in the North.

Starting today, he entrusts his life to you, and he will also bring you honor and glory.

All of you will be brothers worth talking about with your heart open, and comrades in arms worth trusting your back to fight.

The lone wolf dies, the pack lives!
You are his wolf pack! "

"Loyalty to Lord Stark until death!"

As soon as Ed finished speaking, a shout came from among the soldiers, and then the soldiers on the school field began to respond one after another.

"Until death, Lord Robb!"

"Faith to death!"

"Faith to death!"

Listening to the gradually shouting in unison, Robb felt his blood surge and his emotions were in a very excited state.

Westeros is a traditional primogeniture system, but Ed can also designate Brandon, Rickon and other heirs to inherit the title of lord.

Today, Ed's behavior is called the "Wolf Pack Ceremony", which is equivalent to clearly designating Robb as the successor of the North.

Even if Robb is incompetent, dandy and absurd, as long as it is not an unforgivable crime such as killing his father and king, no one can shake his right to inherit.

'The wolf king should have his pack of wolves! '

The 'Wolf Pack Ritual' is an unwritten tradition of House Stark.

It is a personal guard formed by the current lord for the next lord.

Of course, when the Mad King was in Ed, he burned his father and elder brother to death without warning.

He was living in Eagle's Nest City at that time, so he naturally obtained the right of inheritance, but he didn't go through this traditional ceremony.

But he, who abides by the tradition, has already started to look for suitable heirs of vassals, and prepares to perform the ceremony for Robb, but due to some other reasons, he advances the plan.

"The rest is up to you, Sir Rodrik."

Ed looked at the agitated soldiers on the school field, nodded to Rodrik, then turned and left.

After the scene gradually returned to calm, the next step was for Rodrik to perform his duties as the coach.

Under his signal, a total of [-] soldiers on the school grounds began to fight each other.

This is simulated actual combat training, so all of them are wearing leather armor and fighting with blunt swords that have not been sharpened.

Although a blunt sword cannot cut through leather armor, it is absolutely painful to be hit by a powerful slash.

As for Robb, who is alone, his opponent is naturally Rodrik, who has rich combat experience.

After a sword fight, Rodrik was very satisfied and praised Robb, thinking that he had done a good job.

But Robb didn't care about it at all, but he was not very satisfied with himself.

In terms of combat, the original Robb can be said to be relatively versatile, tactics, swordsmanship, archery, riding, and close combat are all very good, and he is born with this talent.

However, it is because of too much pursuit of omnipotence and too extensive coverage that it is impossible to reach the peak in a certain aspect.

For example, 'Kingslayer' James Lannister is completely incompetent in other aspects, but when he holds two swords, he can be regarded as the top class of swordsmanship in Westeros.

Ed's bodyguard captain, Jory Cassel.

I followed Robb to chase down the defected soldiers of the Bolton family. At that time, Robb was concentrating on fighting and had no time to care about him.

But according to Theon's chat, at that time, Jory jumped into the defensive formation of the defecting soldiers and killed many soldiers like melons and vegetables.

But it was such a warrior who was easily killed by James Lannister with a single move after beheading several Lannister soldiers in King's Landing City a few months later.

Although James was a little bit waiting for work, but he was able to kill Jory with one blow, more because he was too strong.

Robb went through his daily sword training alone, after Rodrik had taught the other fighters.

After completing the routine training, he felt that his sword skills had reached a bottleneck.

Ordinary training can only consolidate the foundation, and it is difficult to make breakthrough progress.

On the contrary, the real fight with the captain of the defected soldier made his swordsmanship grow from green to mature and greatly improved.

However, such suitable opponents are too few.

Since the sword training had little effect, Robb simply rested on the spot and began to observe these personal guards who could trust their backs.

However, even if they were loyal fighters selected by Ed, Robb would not trust his back so easily.

In the world of Game of Thrones, betrayal and betrayal are commonplace, and only those Robb personally approves of will be at ease.

At first glance, the most striking thing is a female warrior who is at least six feet tall (about 183cm).

Also a female warrior, she has a completely different style from the 'Brenne of Tarth' who is stronger and burly than a man.

She is tall and slender, and in the sword fight with her opponent at this moment, her steps are quick and elegant, as if she is performing a sword dance.

This fighting style is not like Westeros' sword fighting at all, but a bit like Braavos' water dance.

The other one who stands out from the crowd is a bearded, tall man about seven and a half feet (about 228cm).

He is completely in the style of a Westeros warrior, and the standard blunt sword looks a bit small in his hands. Under the attack of his two-handed sword, his opponent was beaten with only the power to parry.

However, it can be seen that the heirs of the northern vassals are quite capable in fighting. Although this soldier was a bit embarrassed by splitting left and right, he completely blocked the big man's fierce attack.

After he got used to it, from time to time he was able to take Lengzi back and attack with a sword, slowly disrupting the big man's attacking rhythm.

Robb knew in his heart that as long as he persisted, he would win in the end.

The result did not meet his expectations.

The big man couldn't attack for a long time, and finally the rhythm of the attack was completely chaotic. He was drawn on the left waist by the opponent's sword. The pain distorted his face, but he gritted his teeth and insisted not to scream.

Unlike the usual basic training, this training lasted for a long time.

Until near noon, as Sir Rodrik announced a break loudly, all the soldiers who had been exercising on the school grounds all morning breathed a sigh of relief.

They gathered around Robb one after another, either to express their loyalty or to draw closer.

Robb didn't disappoint them either, he replied, talked and greeted one by one with a smile on his face.

He also learned from it that the female warrior was named Daisy Mormont, and she was a descendant of the Mormont family on Bear Island.

The big one was little Jon Umber, son of House Umber.And his opponent is Owen Norrie, heir of the mountain Norrie clan.

Except for Little Jon Umber, Robb has never heard of anyone else's name.
