Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 165
The commander-in-chief of the Night Watch Corps, Mr. Xiong, Chief Bursar Bowen Marsh, Chief Craftsman Oser Yawick, Bachelor Aemon and other Night Watch officials stood with Ed on the Great Wall.

The wilderness north of Castle Black is densely populated with wildlings.

Bowen Marsh, who is good at arithmetic, counted, "Master Ed, the number of wildlings is estimated to exceed one hundred thousand."

The night watchman soldiers were all wrapped in cloaks to cover their faces, and they stood majestically on the city wall. Everyone held bows and arrows, aiming at the wildlings below to prevent accidents.

Most of the savages had never seen the Great Wall in their lives, and they stared dumbfounded at the [-]-foot-high Great Wall.

An eagle flew by in the sky, Ed said: "At Eastwatch and Fort Greenguard in the east, Long Nightfort, Shadow Tower and Westbridge Watch in the west, there will also be savages going south through the Great Wall."

The total number of migrating savages will exceed 12, and Ed thinks it is unnecessary to tell the Night Watch officials the exact number.

Bowen Marsh looked very flustered, "Lord Ed, the wildlings are the enemies of the Seven Kingdoms. If we let the wildlings pass through the Great Wall like this, shouldn't we ask King Robert in King's Landing first?"

Ed was a little angry, "How many days does it take to send a raven to King's Landing? If the savage stays an extra day, he will have to consume a lot of food. Will you pay for it?"

Bowen Marsh laughed and said, "Lord Ed, bringing the savages to the territory of Winterfell will consume more food."

The chief craftsman Oser Yawick said harshly: "That is, the wildlings should live outside the Great Wall. If so many wildlings are brought to the north, if they rebel, it will be a disaster for the Seven Kingdoms."

"They surrendered," Ed noted.

"Temporary surrender." Bowen Marsh shrugged. "The blood of the wildlings dooms them to betray the Seven Kingdoms. The wildlings have always been a threat to the Great Wall!"

Ed said coldly: "Didn't you see the ghoul grain of wheat? The real enemies of the Great Wall are the aliens and ghouls."

Oser Yawick and Bowen Marsh looked at each other, and Oser Yawick said, "Speaking of ghouls, among these savages, have any of these savages been bitten or scratched by ghouls? I think There are many wounded here, if they go to the northern border and become ghouls, it will be a disaster."

Sir Malado Locke said: "For the wildlings, becoming a ghoul may not be a kind of mercy. Anyway, they will do nothing but looting. I just hope that the wildlings will not involve the Seven Kingdoms."

Bachelor Aemon said: "The wildlings are the descendants of the ancestors. Compared with the later Andals and Rhoynar, the ancestors are the earlier masters of Westeros. The Seven Kingdoms should accept the wildlings, and the wildlings are just like us They are flesh and blood, they are living beings, they may have different customs from ours, but we are all living people, and the White Walkers are the threat to all human beings."

"My lords, Lord Ed's relocation of the savages to the north is an act of benevolence, and the night watchmen should not object."

The Night Watch Legion and the Wildlings have a deep-rooted hatred. After all, in the 8000 years since the White Walkers disappeared, the two sides have fought for thousands of years, and countless Wildlings and Night Watchmen have lost their lives. Some Night Watchmen would rather turn the Wildlings into ghouls than let them Through the Great Wall.

Ed said coldly: "As for the question of the wildlings, I will communicate directly with King Robert of King's Landing, Prime Minister Jon Arryn. This is the end of this topic. We have executed Mance Rayder, King Beyond the Wall, and the Vigil The Human Legion should be satisfied."

Mance Rayder, who was executed, was actually a wildling whose head was smashed with a mace. The "King Beyond the Wall" was dressed in the black clothes of the Night Watchman, and his decapitated and rotten head was hung in Castle Black. at the gate of the tunnel.

All the officials of the Night Watch Legion knew Mance, but no one came up to distinguish the authenticity, no one dared to question it, why bother?Every officer of the Night Watch Corps received barrels of vodka from Ed, and every Night Watch brother received some copper coins as rewards, enough for the Night Watch to dig treasures in the Mole Village brothel and drink some wine to improve their lives.

Brothers of the Night's Watch often joke with each other, claiming that their generation may be the best fed Night's Watch ever.Ed has reached a cooperation with the Night Watch Corps. The vegetables and fruits of the Stark Manor in the manor are provided free of charge to the Night Watch soldiers. The Stark Fleet of East Watch and the fishing boats on Bear Island can bring back a lot of seafood every day. The Night Watch There are too many lobsters and salmon on the dining table.

Once upon a time, the Night Watch Corps even had to be careful about eating olive oil. Now, the whales caught at sea and the extracted whale oil make the food of the Night Watch Corps even more delicious.In the freezer, there is a large amount of food and seafood, so that the night watchmen no longer have to worry about the problem of winter.

Some Night Watch officials would whisper behind their backs that Elder Bear sold the Night Watch Legion to the Stark family, because the Night Watch Legion today is more like a vassal of Winterfell than an army of the Seven Kingdoms.However, every night watchman brother knows well that it is Ed who has greatly improved their lives, and only Winterfell and the Northland take the night watchman seriously.

The most important thing is that Ed promised that in the future, when the night watchman is old and frail, and can no longer work, he can go to Winterfell to retire. This is a promise that no noble from the Seven Kingdoms can make.These Night Watch officials will have to rely on Winterfell for their retirement. Even if they knew that Mance had not been executed, no one would be foolish enough to expose it.

The giant eagle flew by in the air, and the crossbowmen of the night watchmen screamed. The giant eagle landed on the Great Wall of Impassability.

Ed rode a giant eagle, slid down the [-]-foot-high Great Wall of Impossibility, stopped in mid-air, and the savages below looked up at the wolf king.

"Brothers and sisters of the free people, today, the gate of the Great Wall of Impassability is opened for you. Through the Great Wall of Impairment, you and I are all citizens of the North under the care of the old gods. Nocturnal Tribe, Cavemen, Thenns, Goat Tribe, Hornfoot Men, or Giants, from now on, we will fight against Winter and the White Walkers together!"

On the [-]-foot-high Great Wall, Ed was flying on the back of a giant eagle, and tens of thousands of savages below him shouted in unison.

"The King Beyond the Wall! The King Beyond the Wall!"

"Wolf King Ed!"

"Long live Stark!"

At this moment, Ed on the back of the eagle looked down on all living beings and ruled the world.Is this the same feeling as riding on the back of a giant dragon?
"Open the gates!"

In the tunnel, Jory Cassel and Ferran opened the city gate, and three hundred adopted sons of Winterfell entered the tunnel first. These are the descendants of the leaders of the wildling tribe. Famous leaders outside the Great Wall such as Afyin, Dog-head Harma, Cern Magnusti, the Wildboar Polo, Eagle King McCain, and Varamyr.

Although Mance's wife Dana and the Savage Princess Val are not protons, they are also hostages and pass through the Great Wall first.

Afterwards, the wildlings of various tribes lined up to enter. Osha and Helen led the Winterfell guards and drove the carriage, responsible for collecting valuables and swords from the wildlings.

According to Ed's order to the savage leader, only the leader and the savage soldiers responsible for maintaining order can keep their weapons, and all other savages will hand over their weapons. In fact, most of them are wooden sticks, stone axes, horns, etc. There are very few iron guys, but The savages are a fierce and aggressive group, so if they have weapons, it is very likely that there will be gang fights.

Going through the Great Wall of Desperation to usher in a new life in the north is not without cost.

The savages have no currency, and the trade between savages is pure barter. However, some savages still have valuable things on them. As a condition for entering the northern border, the savages agree to hand over valuables to Ed.

Black silver cups, golden horn cups, amber ornaments, ivory carved plates, pure gold necklaces, ivory combs, emerald bracelets, golden scale armor, rusty crowns decorated with onyx, furs of various animals, and a large number of ancient horns, one of which It was the delicate horn that Mance dug from the grave.

Due to the large number of wildlings, the night watchman opened the oak shield on the east side of Castle Black and the Queen's Gate tunnel on the west side, and the wildlings lined up and entered under the watchful eyes of the northern cavalry and night watchman soldiers.

The Oak Shield and the Queen's Gate are still in a state of disuse, but now the land gift south of the Great Wall has become a veritable Stark Land, full of manors, and it is only a matter of time before Ed restarts these castles and sends troops to garrison them.

The savages who entered the side of the Great Wall would not stay at Castle Black, because Castle Black simply couldn't house so many savages. The vice-captain of Winterfell, Harris Moran, led a thousand cavalry guards on both sides and escorted the savages along the way. Go south on the Kingsroad, straight to Houcrown, and from there south to the domain of Winterfell.

In addition, there are Thenn warriors in bronze scale armor who maintain order. The discipline of the Thenn people is the best among the wildlings, and they can well carry out the tasks assigned to them by Ed.

Many wildlings entered the Seven Kingdoms for the first time. They looked at the Stark Manor on both sides of the King's Road. The towers and windmills shocked these wildlings.

Ed rides a giant eagle and lands on the ground. The giants "Strong" Margo, Wang Wang and the giantess Sissy come to say goodbye to Ed temporarily.

Since the giant spoke the Old Tongue, the interpreter was a wildling named Leather, a lean, middle-aged man.

Leather said: "Master Ed, giants can't get in through the tunnel, let alone mammoths. The giants want to take the mammoths to East China Sea Watch, and then cross the Seal Bay by boat."

Ed asked, "How many giants and mammoths are there?"

"There are more than six hundred, and the number of mammoths is almost the same. Among them, two hundred giants have already come to the East China Sea to watch."

There is also Samantha who is going to Donghaiwatch by boat. Her moa is about the same height as a mammoth. The Raptor Tribe still has more than 300 moa that need to cross the sea to the south.Varamyr the six-shapes, and Byers, the leader of the Great Bear Tribe, also had to go to East Sea Watch to take a boat, because their bears were all over four meters tall.

Mance, who was dressed in black and covered his face with a cloak, came over, "Master Ed, there are too many wildlings. If all goes well, it will take several days. I will go to the Ghost Forest Go around, maybe you can persuade those wandering in the ghost forest to come to the Great Wall."

After Mance left, Billy, the leader of the rock species in the Driftwood Hall, and Leisen, the leader of the rock species in the King's Hall, came over.

Billy said: "Lord Ed, the wildlings bow their knees, the war is over, and it's time for us to return to Skagos Island."

Ed said: "You have made great contributions to Winterfell, you must come back to Winterfell with me to receive the reward."

The Yanzhong fighters contributed a lot in the battles in the Ghost Shadow Forest and the Hard Tun area, and they were the main force of the Eastern Route Army.

Lei Sen smiled, "Lord Ed, Skagos Island is not safe. The Rock King captured Abyss Fort and killed his nephew Donald's family. We should go back sooner."

Ed said: "The Rock King captured Abyss Castle, and within a day he was taken back by the rock tribe loyal to Winterfell. Now, I have arranged for Kane to act as the acting lord of Abyss Castle. The Rock King may not live long. He originally hoped to collude with wildlings outside the Great Wall and continue to stir up trouble on Skagos Island, but now that the wildlings have surrendered, what hope can the Rock King have?"

Now, in order to retake Abyss Castle, the Rock King has slaughtered the Earl of Abyss Castle appointed by Ed.Enraged, Ed simply deprived the Crower clan of their fiefs and castles.

Abyss Castle became Stark's castle, and Ed planned to appoint Bran or Rickon as the Earl of Abyss Castle.

Ed not only wants to reward the rock species, but also the mountain clans, the Amber family, the Karstark family and other families who followed Ed to the north and sent troops to conquer the wildlings.

It was only a year since the Rock King's rebellion last year, and successive years of wars would drag down production and farming in the northern border. Ed did not recruit vassals this time when he went out of the Great Wall. However, the Amber family, the mountain clan, the Karstark family and the rock clan This kind of initiative sent troops to follow, and made contributions in the war. They are role models for vassals and must be rewarded.

Ed told Billy, Earl of Driftwood Hall, and Rayson, Earl of King's Hall, "It's still summer, but winter will come sooner or later. Rock species has made great achievements in the war beyond the Great Wall. Winterfell is a winter town. Welcome to Rock plant, and settle down in the winter town.”

Billy Stern showed a relieved smile, "No wonder everyone in the North loves Stark. Lord Ed is so generous to us."

Leisen Magna said: "Our Skagos Island is mountainous, and there are too few arable farmlands. Every winter, it is ice and snow, and the rock species cannot eat enough. In ancient times, there were often tragedies of cannibalism. In fact, To be honest, this situation also exists now. Since the Stark family welcomes the rock species to escape the winter, we rock species will not have to worry about it."

Ed said: "The rock-species fighters are strong and good at fighting in mountains. I plan to form a rock-species army and station them in Winterfell. Whenever there is a war, they will follow the direwolves."

Both Lei Sen and Billy laughed heartily, and Billy said: "That's a good thing, our Rock Seed Legion must be the elite of the northern border."

The geographical location of Skagos Island is very important. This is the largest island in the north, but there is very little arable land. Ed will try to absorb the population of Skagos Island and move them to Winterfell. The rock warriors inside, They were selected to form the Skaggs Legion. In this way, the problem of Skagos Isle Skaggs not having enough to eat in winter was solved, the population and military strength of Winterfell City were increased, and Winterfell's impact on Skagos Island was also strengthened. With the connection between the rock species, Winterfell can firmly control Skagos Island and the rock species.

After Ed pacified Beyond the Wall, Beyond the Wall became part of the North, and the Ghost Forest, Frostfang and the Land of Eternal Winter were all Stark's territories.Most of the savages chose to surrender and moved to the north with Ednan. However, there are still many savages wandering between valleys and primeval forests beyond the vast Great Wall.

The Stark fleet and night watchmen of Eastwatch will prevent adventurers, smugglers and slave traders from stealing wealth beyond the Great Wall. In the future, Ed hopes that Skaggs Island can also become a shield beyond the Great Wall. Seal Bay, it is difficult for ships from the south to bypass Skagos Island.

Ed arrived at the top of the Great Wall by the night watchman's rope cage. Ed found Domilik, and the ravens in the cage were chattering.The heir to the Dreadfort has been in charge of the ravens.

"Domeric, immediately write to King Robert of King's Landing, Prime Minister Jon Arryn, and tell them that the army of the North defeated the wildlings who invaded the Seven Kingdoms, and more than [-] wildlings were relocated to the territory of Winterfell. the people of the Seven Kingdoms."

"Tell King's Landing that Winterfell has merged the land beyond the Great Wall. From now on, the land beyond the Great Wall is part of the Northern Territory. The territory of the Northern Territory starts from the Neck in the south, ends in the Land of Eternal Winter Beyond the Great Wall in the north, and stretches all the way to the extreme north world. the end of."

Domilik nodded, immediately picked up the quill, and began to write a letter in cinnabar ink.

Robb on the side came over, "Father, we didn't garrison troops outside the Great Wall, so it shouldn't be considered a real annexation, right?"

Ed said: "Stark is not stationed outside the Great Wall for the time being, but not necessarily in the future. Most of the savages have followed us to the south, and the land outside the Great Wall will become the sweet pastry in the eyes of the southern nobles. land, but humans are greedy for land.

"The wasteland is uncultivated, and once it is plowed, it is contended for. We conquered the savages. If we don't immediately declare that beyond the Great Wall belongs to the northern border, and the news spreads to King's Landing and the south, the southern lord will immediately send the so-called pioneer knights to the outer circle. land, and declare it their territory."

"The church must send monks and nuns to build manors outside the Great Wall and rob the land conquered by Stark in the name of spreading the belief of the Seven Gods; Ironborn pirates will regard the Great Wall as a good safe haven, an illegal place; slave traders would see Beyond the Wall as a good place to hunt slaves."

"So we must hold on to the fruits of victory. Beyond the Wall belongs to the North, to the Starks, and to Winterfell."

Robb said excitedly: "Father, we have won a great victory and captured so many wildling prisoners. The people and nobles south of the Neck will think that Stark is the hero who saved the Seven Kingdoms, right?"

Ed smiled and shook his head, "Robb, if you think so, you'd be naive. It's human nature to be jealous. The Northern Territory was originally the largest territory among the Seven Kingdoms, accounting for [-]% of the Seven Kingdoms. Now that the area of ​​the northern border has more than doubled, the nobles in the southern border will be jealous."

"If it's just jealousy, it's okay to say that some southern nobles may feel that the direwolves are getting stronger, and they start to worry about whether they will become the next prey of the direwolves. ruse, trying to weaken the North and bring down the Starks."

"Robb, you will succeed me in managing Winterfell and the entire North Territory in the future. You must learn to read people's hearts. Only in this way can you survive in a world full of lies and deceit."

Ed stood on the top of the Great Wall, overlooking the Ghost Forest, Frostfang and the Land of Eternal Winter. These are the lands of Stark.

Countless savages are queuing up to pass through the Queen's Gate, the tunnels of Castle Black and Oak Shield, and enter the northern border. The savage team stretches for tens of miles. To the north of the Great Wall, there are wildlings lining up all over the mountains and plains, waiting to enter the northern border.

South of the Impassable Great Wall, the savage team is heading towards Houcrown Town in the south, and from there to the territory of Winterfell.

Ed defeated the enemy in the first battle, expanded the territory, moved more than [-] savages, the population of Winterfell skyrocketed, and the power shocked the seven kingdoms.

This battle is worth it.
