Game of Thrones: Kings in the North
Chapter 189 Golden Girl, Shadow Killer
Chapter 189 Golden Girl, Shadow Killer
Twenty thousand soldiers from the northern border entered the gate of Harrenhal in mighty force, and the residents of the Riverlands who had taken refuge in Harrenhal lined the road to welcome the arrival of the army from the northern border.
Bears danced among the crowd, giant eagles flew in the air, and giants on mammoths cheered and shouted together with the Gaoshan clan.The magic dragon and flying wolf jumped down from the majestic city wall of Harrenhal, and the soldiers on the east coast of the northern border let out screams.Now the magic dragon has become the pride of the northern border. It seems that the people in Hejian also regard the magic dragon as their pride. The magic dragon has become the key to unite people's hearts.
This is an army of nobles from the eastern part of the northern border, including the Bolton family from the Dreadfort, the Karstark family from Kahuo City, the Locke family from the Old City, the Flint family from Widow's Watch, and the Manderly family from White Harbor. army.
This legion gathered at White Harbor, boarded a ship on the east coast of the North, traveled to Bite Bay, passed the Three Sisters Islands, Five Fingers Peninsula, entered Crab Bay, landed at Maiden Springs in the Riverlands, and finally arrived at Harrenhal .
Roose Bolton of the Dreadfort, Ser Willis Manderly, Heir of White Harbor, his brother Ser Wendel Manderly, Robin Flint of Widow's Watch, Harris Howard of Hornwood Lord Wood, Lord Rickard Karstark of Cahoe, and Harion Heir of Cahoe, were at the head of the cavalry.
Ed was in the courtyard of Harrenhal, welcoming the nobles from the north. Demon dragons and wolves circled around. Direwolves walked at night. Nymeria, the lady, stood by Ed's side.
Earl Rickard, Earl Roose Bolton, brothers Willis and Wendell of White Harbor, and dozens of nobles, knelt in front of Ed, and Ed signaled everyone to get up.
Roose Bolton of Dreadfort whispered softly: "Your Highness Wolf, the nobles in the eastern part of the Northern Territory, have assembled a total of less than 2 troops. Now 8000 people have been brought to Harrenhal, and [-] people have stayed in Maiden Spring Town. .We need to help Earl William Mooton hold Maiden Springs, because many ships of the North East Coast Fleet are docked in Maiden Springs."
Ed said: "The army in the north has been traveling all the way by boat, and it has been hard work from afar. Hurry up and arrange the soldiers to live in the five towers."
The Burning King Tower, Ghost Tower, Wailing Tower, Widow's Tower, and Terror Tower in Harrenhal are all so big that they can only be described as absurd. Even the smallest guest room is enough to accommodate giants to sleep.
The Great Hall of the Castle, the Hall of Hundred Furnaces, was larger than the Great Hall of the King at Red Keep, and could accommodate an army for feasting.
Ed, Caitlin, Arya, and Sansa moved to the second floor of the Burning King Tower, where Countess Sheila Hean of Harrenhal lived. Thoros of Er, Greenbeard, Ferran, Dermot of the Rainforest, Sir Tallard and other winter wolf army commanders, live in the northern nobles.
The northern soldiers lived scatteredly in the Wailing Tower, the Ghost Tower, the Tower of Terror, and the Widow's Tower. Tents were set up in the courtyard, and the godswood was also there. After all, the godswood in Harrenhal covers an area of [-] acres.
As the largest castle in Westeros, Harrenhal would still be more than sufficient even if [-] northern troops were poured into it.
In recent years, Ed has successively conquered the rock species of Skagos Island and beyond the Great Wall. His personal prestige has reached its peak in the northern border. Many people and nobles are willing to fight for Ed.
Ed implemented the ban on salt and the household registration system, and found out many hidden populations. Now, Winterfell City has digital records of the population of the major nobles in the northern border.Even if some nobles, for their own benefit, want to send a small number of troops perfunctorily to preserve their strength when Stark is recruited, this situation is very difficult.
In the Hundred Hearth Hall, Ed hosted a banquet for the nobles in the north. The table was full of grilled trout, snail meat, onion beef, blueberry cake, and lemon cake. Roose Bolton looked around and saw that the banquet En was beside Ed, but he didn't see Domilik, and asked, "Your Highness Wolf, where is my Domilik?"
Ed said: "Robb is going to fight in Riverrun with an army. I sent Domilik to assist Robb. Luce, did your illegitimate son, Ramsay Snow, go out with the army?"
There was no emotion in Roose Bolton's ice-like eyes.
"I left Ramsay at the Dreadfort. Ramsay is too far behind his brother Domilik. Even if he goes to the south, he may not be of much help."
Little Bopi didn't come, it seems that Ed's plan to get rid of Little Bopi had to be postponed.
Earl Rickard Karstark said: "Your Highness Wolf, now that the army has gathered at Harrenhal, should the army attack King's Landing immediately, or go west, together with the West Route Army commanded by the young wolf lord Robb, to eliminate Attacking the Lannisters in the Riverlands?"
Ed said: "Stannis has already led troops, captured the Crab Claw Peninsula, Crow's Roost, and besieged Duskendale Town. When I retreated from King's Landing to Harrenhal, Harrenhal was suffering from the knights of the West, the strong pig Lile Crakehall's attack, Lannister hid hundreds of elite soldiers in Sow's Corner, and attacked Harrenhal, fortunately, I defeated them."
"Sow Horn, Buckhorn Castle and other royal nobles are next to the riverlands and very close to Harrenhal. I plan to send troops to capture these two castles. At the same time, I will send troops to plunder the king's land and plunder as many people as possible. , food, to Harrenhal."
Sir Willis, the chubby White Harbor heir, had a bushy beard and looked like a walrus. He said: "Lord Ed, I remember that the Hogg family, the lords of Sow's Horn, are just estate knights. Buckhorn Castle The earl is not considered a great nobleman, and taking down this kind of castle is nothing but a piece of cake for our northern army."
In fact, Ed's real goal is the Vale of Arryn.Lysa took Robin Arryn and hid in the Eagle's Nest City. She was Littlefinger's marionette. As long as Lysa was in the Eagle's Nest City, it was impossible for the Vale of Arryn to send a single soldier to join the army in the north.
Earlier, Ed wrote to Lysa, hoping she would send Canyon Knights to Harrenhal to join the army against Lannister.Ed also stated in the letter that there were rumors in King's Landing and the Riverlands that Lysa had an affair with Littlefinger.As a result, the letter fell into the sea and there was no response.
Therefore, before the final battle with Lannister, Ed must try to take Lysa and Duke Robin into his own hands, so that the Vale will be merged under the banner of the direwolf.
Ed had written to his ally in the valley, "Bronze" Jon Royce, Ed told the Earl of Runestone City that Lysa had an affair with Littlefinger, and it was Littlefinger who killed the noble former Duke of the Valley, Joan. Ellen Allin.
Bronze Jon wrote back to Ed. He was deeply shocked by Lysa's affair with Littlefinger and Littlefinger's murder of Jon Arryn. He would never allow it. Lord Robin Arryn of the Vale of Arryn, In the hands of someone like Lysa.
Now, Bronze Jorn is already in the valley, and has begun to contact the Hunter family in Longbow Hall, the Redford family in Red Base, the Belmore family in Hongsong City, and the Temperton family in Nine Star City, etc. They will gather soon Loyal to Jon Arryn's family, gather an army, and challenge Lysa of the Eagle's Nest City, in order to take back Lord Robin Arryn from Lysa.
The valley is about to rain. I believe that the situation in the valley will soon reach the ears of the royal family of King's Landing and the Lannisters in the western region. The little devil and Tywin definitely hope to take the opportunity to intervene in the valley and win some possible allies.
However, under Ed's careful operation, Lannister couldn't take care of himself at all.At this time, Stannis attacked the king's land, and a large area of the king's land was occupied by Stannis. At this time, Stannis' army was attacking Duskendale Town. The town fell, King's Landing was blocked, and Lannister completely lost access to the sea in the king's land.
Renly and the army of the Reach are marching towards the Crake Hall in the western region. The Crake Hall is the southern gate of the western region.
Another Stormland army under Renly's banner is slowly marching towards King's Landing after gathering at Storm's End. Once it joins up with the Reach Army from Highgarden, this army of tens of thousands is fully capable of capturing King's Landing. .
Whether it was Tywin, who was on the battlefield in the river, or the little devil in King's Landing, Cersei, they were all overwhelmed by the stag at this time, and they had no time to be distracted by the affairs of the valley.
With just a few letters, Ed got Stannis, Renly, to fight the Lannister Lion according to his ideas.
Ed wrote a letter to King Balon of the Iron Islands, but received no response.In the letter, Ed hopes that the North will form an alliance with the Iron Islands, and that the Iron Islands will attack Casterly Rock and Lannisport.
King Balon, who has a bad temper, often does not reply, and Ed has long been used to it.However, Ed speculates that it will be a matter of time before King Balon wears the driftwood crown and becomes king himself.
Prince Doran Martell of Dorne replied, in which he told Eddard that Dorne had no intention of getting involved in the war, and had no intention of forming an alliance with anyone.Prince Doran is a cautious person, he will not act rashly until the situation is clear.
However, Prince Oberyn of the Red Viper made it clear in his letter to Ed that although Dorne would not participate in the war, the Red Viper would take an army in the form of a mercenary group to fight the direwolves in the riverlands. Fight together to slay the Lannisters and avenge Princess Elia of Dorne.
Prince Oberyn once served as a mercenary in the disputed land, and even set up a mercenary group himself. He has many friends in Myr, Tyrosh, and Lys. It is very simple to pull out a mercenary group from the free trade city-state on the other side.
It is said that Prince Oberyn has already set off for Tyrosh, and that once the Mercenary Corps has recruited enough men, he will take a boat to the Riverlands.
After the northern army arrived, Ed could march to the Vale of Arryn at any time. He had the support of the Alpine Clan. Heiyu Brynden, who had served as a knight of the Blood Gate for a long time, drew a map for Ed around the Blood Gate, and the trails near the Blood Gate , Ed mastered it all.
What's more, Ed has more than 20 giant eagles in his hand, as well as the magic dragon and flying wolf. Neither the Blood Gate, the Moon Gate Fort, or the Eagle's Nest City can stop the Northern Air Force.
Ed was not in a hurry to march into the valley, on the one hand because the army of Bronze Jorn allies had not yet assembled, and on the other hand, because of Melisandre of Asshai.
The Wooden Dancer on Thousand Faces Isle and the Green Prophet beyond the Great Wall all warned Ed to be careful of the shadow killer. It must be Melisandre from Assia, and the red-robed girl must have foreseen something from the sacred fire, so she was eager to get rid of Ed. .If Ed went to the valley rashly, who knows if Melisandre will use the shadow killer to launch a sneak attack?
In the face of the shadow killer, once Ed fails, he will die unexpectedly, and everything is over.
Ed simply stayed at Harrenhal. Harrenhal was located on the north side of God's Eye Lake. The Isle of Thousand Faces in the center of God's Eye Lake was full of weirwoods.The power of the old gods here is so strong that even followers of the red god R'hllor cannot do whatever they want in Harrenhal.Ed is here to deal with Melisandre's shadow killer, and after he has no worries, he is marching into the Vale of Arryn.
The next day, Ed sent Ferran, Earl Rickard, and Sir Wendell with [-] cavalry and dozens of giants riding mammoths to attack the Antler Castle in the southeast of Harrenhal. , Sow Horn.
In addition, Ed also sent Shagga from the Stone Crow Department, Zira from the Black Ear Department, Munn and Ulf from the Moon People Department, Greenwood from the Shuzi Department, Timet from the Scorching People Department, and others to the king's land. rural looting.
Ed told the leaders of these high-mountain clans, "Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Move the common people to Harrenhal, especially women and children. Capture more. Grab more food and livestock."
Xia Ga was dressed in exquisite plate armor, and he waved a sharp battle axe, "Father of life, don't worry, the warriors of our mountain tribes knew how to rob since they were young, otherwise they would have starved to death."
Qila with a human ear necklace around his neck said: "Father of life, if you teach us to plunder, it would be too much. Fish can swim, birds can fly, and the warriors of the Gaoshan clan are born to rob houses."
After the northern army arrived at Antlers, Earl Steve Buckwell of Antlers, a fair-skinned, frail young man, wanted to close the city gates to resist, but Duoduo took a few giants with him. With a big tree stump, the city gate was smashed open a few times, and Earl Steve Buckwell had no choice but to surrender with his soldiers and his family immediately.
At Buckhorn, King Joffrey's crowned stag and roaring lion banners were lowered, and the direwolf banners were hoisted.
The lord of Sow's Corner was Sir Roger Hoag, a landed knight, gray-haired but strong and strong with a fiery temper.The mercenary knights under Sow's Corner, plus the temporarily recruited militia from the territory, together did not exceed 300 people, crowded on the city wall of Sow's Corner.
When Sir Roger Hogg saw the giant riding on the mammoth and thousands of heavily armored cavalry, they were clamoring to resist. As a result, the mercenary knights guarding the city were frightened, and a mercenary knight opened the side door, The northern cavalry swarmed in. After a short and bloody resistance, Sir Roger Hogg was captured, and the direwolf flag was raised on the top of Sowhorn.
The antler castle and the sow's horns have no strategic value, but it is not bad to take down these two castles as an appetizer.The belongings of these two castles, cattle, sheep, and pigs, were all moved to Harrenhal by the Winter Wolf Army.
Ser Roger Hogg of Sowhorn and Lord Steve Buckwell of Buckhorn were escorted to Harrenhal with their families.
Sir Roger Hogg protested to Ed, "Your Majesty Wolf, we are loyal to King Joffrey, why did you attack my castle innocently?"
Eddard said: "Joffrey is the blood of Cersei and Kingslayer, and he is not qualified to sit on the Iron Throne. Ser Roger Hogg, while King Robert is still alive, you let the Lannister army , hide in your castle, as soon as King Robert died, the knights of the Westland, the Strong Pig, led the Lannister soldiers, and set off from Sow's Corner, trying to rob Harrenhal."
"You should be glad you met me. If Stannis had captured your castle, he would have killed you for the charge of colluding with the Lannisters alone."
Steve Buckwell of Buckhorn Castle said weakly: "Your Majesty Wolf, the Winter Wolves have occupied our castle and emptied the castle of food, property, and livestock. It's not fair to us."
Ed said: "We are at war, how fair is it? If you are willing to fight for the Winter Wolf Army and swear allegiance to me, after the war, I will return your castle. It all depends on your own performance."
Sir Roger Hogg frowned and said, "If we swear allegiance to you, we will become traitors in the eyes of King Joffrey. The nobles of our kingdom, whoever occupies the Iron Throne, must be loyal to whom."
Ed said: "Then you have to live in the dungeon and wait for the kid king to rescue you, or spend money to redeem you. Don't forget, there are three kings now, you are loyal to Joffrey, in Renly, Stan Nice is a traitor in his eyes."
The dragon and the wolf were hovering in the air, and the gray-haired Sir Roger Hogg and the immature Earl Steve Buckwell looked at each other, both showing fear of the dragon.
Ed said: "I have giant dragons, giant eagles, giants, and tens of thousands of heavy armored cavalry. The valleys and the riverlands are all loyal allies of the northern border. I have merged beyond the Great Wall. This is something that even the conquerors can't do." What you have done, you have to think about it clearly. During the war, it is very dangerous to stand on the wrong team and make the wrong bet. Your castle and territory are likely to be reduced or even deprived."
Sir Roger Hogg, Lord Steve Buckwell, kneels before Eddard and swears his allegiance to Eddard.
The warriors of the Gaoshan clan, Shaga, Timet, Qila, Greenwood, Ulf and others, brought back more than 600 civilians from the king's neck, and the carriage was packed with food, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese.
Ed ordered these civilians to be placed in Harrenhal, and let them polish their armor in the armory, feather their long arrows, cook in the kitchen, and feed the horses.
Upper Green Fork, Twins.
The castle of the Twin River City spans both banks of the Green Fork River, and there is a stone castle on each bank, which is exactly the same, connected by a stone bridge in the middle, and the Wei River Tower in the middle of the bridge.
Lord Walder Frey sat on a chair in the hall of East River Castle. The seat was made of iron oak, and the back was made into the shape of the Twin Rivers. He was over 90 years old and looked like a weasel covered with old spots.
Stevron Frey, the heir of the Twin River City, who is in his 60s, said: "Father, the army from the north has already moved towards the Twin River City, led by Robb, the son of the Wolf King, and Black Fish. Brynden."
Marquis Walder said disdainfully: "I thought it was Ed the wolf king himself leading the army! This brat wants to come, he wants to walk over the bridge of our Frey family's Twin River City, hehe! I may not open the door yet!"
Stevron was taken aback, "Father, I heard that this northern army has more than 3 people. It would be unwise for us to provoke the northern army. Don't forget, Alma and Olifa, both Became Stark's adopted son by Ed's side."
"The northern border is an ally of the riverlands. Provoking the army of the northern border will inevitably lead to siege from the neighbors in the northern border and the riverland. Don't forget, Duke Hoster's health has improved, and now it is not Edmure who is in charge of Riverrun. , but the Duke of Hoster!"
The Marquess of Walder snorted softly, "Duke Hoster's health is better, but I can't survive. I didn't say that I couldn't open the door. As long as that kid Robb is willing to marry a Frey family girl, I will let him cross the river. If he refuses, take a long detour, walk a few hundred miles, and go to the Ruby Beach downstream to cross the river!"
Lothor Frey, the steward, was a cripple, son of Lord Frey, and said: "Robb is a Stark, heir to the North, and others say that now Joffrey, Stannis, Renly , are all crowned as kings, Ed is fully capable of being crowned as king, and may wear the crown of the king of the north at any time."
"If the daughter of the Frey family at the crossing of the river can marry Robb, and the Frey family and the Stark family marry, the nobles of the riverlands will be similar to the Vance family, the Mallister family, and the Bracken family. , Blackwood family, who dares to look down on Foyle?"
The Frey family only has a history of 600 years, which is incomparable to those ancient families that once ruled the riverlands. Therefore, the Frey family regards marriage with a great nobleman more than anything else.
In addition, Marquis Walder has married eight wives during his long life, and has countless descendants. The Frey family has relatives all over Westeros through marriage.
Stevron frowned, "Robb is the young wolf lord, and it's unlikely that the wolf king would agree to this marriage so easily."
Marquis Walder said: "Then let Edmure Tully replace me! I have been proposing marriage to Riverrun for so many years, hoping to marry a daughter to Edmure, and even let him choose at will, but Horst has always refused in every possible way. Now that Riverrun is besieged, if Riverrun wants reinforcements from the north to arrive, let Edmure marry one of my daughters, isn't that too much to ask?"
"Close the city gate and raise the drawbridge. Anyway, Ed and Horst, if they don't meet my conditions, they won't be able to cross the river."
The army from the north arrived at the city of the Twin Rivers. Lord Frey sat on a sedan chair at the top of the city, his smile gradually disappearing.
Thirty thousand northern cavalry, infantry with long swords, armor and long spears, exuding a cold light of steel, Marge, the king of giants, led more than 100 giants, riding on mammoths, and warriors of the giant eagle tribe, flying by on giant eagles Twin Rivers.
Varamyr was riding on a four-meter-high snow bear, and beside him were moas, unicorns, and wild boars from the Baltic region, all of which were equally large and frightening.
All the descendants of the Frey family were dumbfounded.
At this time, Stevron, the heir of Twin Rivers, came over, "Father, a raven flew from Maiden Springs. The army of more than 2 troops from the northern border has landed in Maiden Springs by sea. The army outside Twin Rivers Dajun is just the West Route Army. Father, do you still want to propose marriage?"
Marquis Walder said excitedly: "What kind of marriage are you talking about? The Frey family is the most staunch ally of Stark and Tully. We will be the eternal servants of the North. Hurry up and open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and welcome the Young Wolf Lord!"
Night fell over the Riverlands. James stood on the wall of the Pink City of the Piper family, looking at the camp outside the castle. The campfires of the Westland Army shone in the moonlight like pearls scattered in the world.
The Western Territory army easily occupied the City of Rest of the Vance family and the Pink City of the Piper family, and also swept away the Acorn Hall of the Smallwood family. However, the remnants of Marco Piper and Karel Vance still Hold out resistance in the surrounding hills and woods.
James walked out of Pink City Castle and returned to his tent at the camp.
Lord Tywin now lives in Lord Piper's castle and sleeps in Lord Piper's bedroom, but James likes living in the camp and being with the soldiers.
James opened the tent and walked in. On the bed lay a beautiful woman with blond hair. She had emerald green eyes and was wearing an ivory silk dress. For a moment, James thought it was Cersei.
"Who are you?" Could it be a camp prostitute?The camp was always accompanied by whores, and many soldiers liked to seek the comfort of whores before a big battle.But James has only slept with Cersei, whether it is a lady or a prostitute, James is not interested.
"Tarena." The blond beauty sat up, showing an evil smile, "Sir Jaime, I'm the beast tamer from Lys across the narrow sea, and I'm called the Golden Lady, and I'm here to win this prize for the Lannisters." a war."
James thought it was very interesting, "Golden girl? I don't have gold to pay you, let alone be stupid enough to believe that a war can be won by relying on an animal trainer. You probably are the kind who command bears to dance at weddings Your little tricks are completely useless on the battlefield."
The golden girl had a sunny smile, and her eyes had an eerie red light, and James found it hard to take his eyes off the golden girl's eyes.
"Sir James, if you don't accept my help, what do you want to use to fight against the direwolves, bears, and giant eagles of Wolf King Ed?"
The eagle nearly lifted Joffrey's cap, tearing a chunk of Joffrey's scalp.James had come into close contact with Ed's direwolf Nocturnal in King's Landing. The dark monster was taller than a warhorse. Any warhorse seemed to be afraid of the direwolf's smell.
The animal trainer might be able to deal with those beasts, James began to re-examine the golden girl in front of him.
"Can you control direwolves, bears, giant eagles and other beasts? As far as I remember, only skinchangers can control beasts."
The golden girl walked, her plump waist and hips swaying, every step was a temptation, "The skin-changer is just a kind of telepathy, the beast tamer is stronger than the skin-changer, I can easily charm those fierce beasts."
James snorted softly, "Beauty, don't just play tricks, I'm in King's Landing, and I've seen Ed the Wolf King, McCain the Eagle King, Michu the Giant Eagle Prince, and Byers the Bear King, and there are fierce beasts around them, you What about the beasts?"
The golden girl said: "I can easily prove it to you, please look behind you."
James turned around and saw a male lion was standing behind him with its mouth open. James was terrified and backed away again and again. He held his sword in his hand, "You actually hid such a big lion. In my tent?"
The golden girl stretched out her hand to caress the male lion, and the male lion lay docilely on the ground. The golden girl smiled and said, "I thought, how much do the Lannisters love lions? Lannister boasted that he roared at the lion, and when he saw the lion , why are you so scared?"
James put away the long sword and strengthened his spirits, "Actually, I'm not afraid, it's just a little accident. Golden Girl, if you can really help me defeat Stark's skinchangers, my father, Lord Tywin, I can give you a lot of gold."
The golden girl followed James to the hall of the Pink City. The wooden screen in the hall is a dancing girl, which is the coat of arms of the Piper family.Lord Tywin was staring intently at the map, with Ser Kevan beside him.
James introduced: "Father, uncle, this is the golden girl Tarena, she is a beast trainer, and can help us deal with those skin-changers of Wolf King Ed."
Duke Tywin stared at Tarena in front of him with those golden eyes, "Beast tamer? This beautiful lady is so weak. I feel that Ed's direwolf could bite off her neck with one bite. You count on her to deal with beasts and skinchangers?"
James lowered his voice, "Father, she easily brought a big lion into my camp. There were more than 2 Western soldiers in the camp, and none of them were seen."
Ser Kevan murmured, "Impossible."
There were bursts of screams from the guards outside the door, and the lion rushed in, knocking two Lannister guards in red robes and lion helmets to the ground.
Sir Kevan gasped in fright, and Duke Tywin was very calm, "Golden lady, there is no doubt that your lion has proved itself. I think you are a lion, very similar to my Lannister coat of arms. Yes, it would be great if you could stay and help the Lannisters. Your lion can help me with the direwolves."
There was murderous intent in the golden girl's green eyes.
"In addition to taming lions, I can also charm all kinds of birds and beasts. Lord Tywin, I think you should deal with stags wearing rose wreaths at this time, rather than direwolves. The stag wearing rose wreaths, Went to the west."
Lord Tywin and Ser Kevan looked at each other in shock.The stag with the garland of roses clearly refers to Renly who was crowned King in Highgarden.
In the past two days, the news that Renly's army set off from Highgarden to King's Landing made Tywin feel very troublesome.The army of the River Bend gathered in the ancient oak city, and the forward troops had already entered the territory of the west along the coastal road.
There were more than [-] troops in the western region. After crossing the Red Fork River in the riverland, they dared not go further north into the riverland because they were worried that Renly would march to the western region.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Tywin and Kevan suppressed the news brought by the raven, and did not tell anyone about Renly's march to the west, but this golden girl actually knew, and Tywin found it even more inconceivable.
Duke Tywin cleared his throat, "Golden girl, how did you know some military secrets? Many nobles in the western region in my camp don't know that the stag wearing a rose wreath has gone to the western region. How do you know?"
The golden girl said: "As an animal trainer, I can understand the language of animals, and don't easily reveal secrets to ravens. At this time, I can charm ravens, let them fall on my arms, control ravens, Steal letters. But don’t worry, I didn’t steal your Raven’s letters, I have my own eyes and ears.”
A group of sparrows flew into the hall chirping, covering the tables, wooden screens and beams, at least a few hundred. James, Lord Tywin, and Ser Kevan all fell into deep self-doubt.
James said: "When I was in King's Landing, I heard that the Eagle King McCain can control owls, falcons and eagles, and gain bird vision. Ed also has this ability. Can you gain the vision of sparrows through these sparrows?"
The golden girl nodded, "It's easy, so I saw the stag wearing the rose through these sparrows, that is, Renly, who usurped the king, his marching route. There is an octospider Varys in King's Landing, who always likes to brag about himself In fact, the beast trainer's little bird is the most powerful."
Duke Tywin said: "Golden girl, we already know how powerful you are, so please tell me, how to hunt and kill this stag wearing a rose crown?"
The golden girl said mysteriously: "In the forest of seedlings, pheasants and wild boars, roses and stags are bound to fail."
Eddard holds Stannis' letter in his study in the Burning Tower of Harrenhal.In the letter, Stannis invited Eddard to meet him on the Kingsroad, east of Harrenhal.
Could this be the conspiracy of the red-robed woman Melisandre?Melisandre of Assia wanted to assassinate Ed, and the Green Prophet and Wood Dancer were all in the dream, sending Ed a warning.Will it be safe to go to the appointment?
But if you don't go to the appointment, it means that you may lose an ally like Stannis.
After capturing Duskendale Town, Crab Claw Peninsula and Crow's Rest Castle, Stannis has a large area of land in the king's land, and his strength has greatly increased.Now all of the crownlands north of Rosby and Stokeworth are in Stannis' hands.Of course, except for Antler Castle and Sow Horn, these two castles were captured by Ed's winter wolf army.
Soros, the red-robed monk, walked into the study and handed Ed a glass of Blue Noble.Ed said: "Soros, you are a follower of R'hllor, the Lord of Light. Have you heard that some red-robed women can rely on the king's child to create shadow killers?"
Although the red-robed monk Soros is a fat wine and meat monk, he devoutly believes in the red god R'hllor, but he is not so fanatical.
Soros thought for a while, "Your Highness Wolf, why do you ask this? In the continent of Essos, it is said that there are some red-robed women who have the ability to breed shadow killers. Shadow killers will appear at night, approaching the enemy quietly, Enemy fatal blow."
Ed said: "Night? The shadow killer can't come and go during the day?"
Soros said: "Under the sun, shadow killers cannot wreak havoc."
The appointed time was at noon, and Ed felt that under the sun, Melisandre's shadow killer should not be able to do whatever he wanted.So Ed rode on the direwolf night walk, took the water dancer Syrio Forel, the red monk Soros, Aegis Dawson, Sir Barristan, Ferran, the Lightning King, and Sean together, and left. Harrenhal, galloping towards the Kingsroad.
Aegis Dawson is Ed's banner bearer, and the direwolf of the Stark family roars on the banner.They waited for a while on the King's Road, and Stannis, the onion knight Davos Seaworth and the red-robed woman Melisandre appeared in front of Ed.
The red robed woman Melisandre is the banner bearer, and Stannis has converted to the belief of the red god R'hllor, so his banner is a flaming red heart banner, and the crowned stag of the Baratheon family seems to be in the middle of the banner. Like a fly, it is completely swallowed by the flames, and it is impossible to see it unless you look carefully.
Melisandre was wearing a large red robe, covering her snow-white skin. Ed was curious whether she was pregnant under the large red robe, and whether she was pregnant with a shadow killer.
Ed smiled and said, "Your Majesty Stannis, it's a pleasure to see you again."
Stannis glanced coldly at the guards behind Ed, "Ed, you are still polite enough to address me as Your Majesty."
Ed said: "Your Majesty Stannis, there are so many good news recently! I heard that you took the vassals of the Narrow Sea and captured Duskendale Town, Crow's Roost and Crab Claw Peninsula with ease. Most of the king's territory fell to into your hands."
Stannis nodded slightly, "That's right, Lord Riverey Lake of Duskendale surrendered, as did Lord William Staunton of Raven's Rest. Duskendale is the largest port in the Kingdom after King's Landing, I get A lot of food, horses and ships. Ed, I have to thank you, it was you who suggested me to attack the kingdom, my territory, before there were only a few islands in the narrow sea, and the Cape Marseilles, now, my territory has expanded several times , The strength of the army has also increased several times, exceeding 1 people."
"But, compared to Renly, I'm too poor. The nobles of the Reach and the Stormlands all go to lick Renly's noble ass. I can't bear it especially. The nobles of the Stormlands, Storm's End The law should belong to me, but those damn nobles of the Stormlands all abandoned me and took refuge in Renly."
Ed said: "Your Majesty, you and I eliminated Lannister together. Your Majesty occupied King's Landing and sat on the Iron Throne. Who would dare to question the legitimacy of your crown?"
Stannis said: "Many of my Narrow Sea nobles say that the strength of the northern border is too strong, and you will be crowned king sooner or later. Do you have this plan?"
Ed shook his head, "I'm not Robert's heir, how could I be crowned king? His Majesty Stannis, Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen are all the bastards of Cersei and the Kingslayer, are you The legitimate heir to the Iron Throne." Although not loved by the people.
Stannis said grimly, "You tell the truth, and I don't thank you for the obvious. You say you have no ambition to be king, but why is Ser Barristan with you? He is Your Kingsguard?"
Ser Barristan said: "Your Majesty Stannis, Cersei was in King's Landing that day, ordered her Hercules pet, and strangled King Robert. Many of my hypocritical Kingsguard brothers have become Lannisters. It’s impossible for me to be the guard of Wild Joffrey, so I took refuge in Eddard the Wolf King. Now, I am Eddard the Wolf King’s bodyguard and the commander of the Winter Wolf Army. I am no longer the Kingsguard.”
Stannis snorted softly, "Ser Barristan, you left the Kingsguard, and the Kingsguard in King's Landing has become a nest of snakes and rats. I ascended the throne on Dragonstone, and I didn't set up my Kingsguard because No. Mad King Aerys died at the hands of his Kingsguard, Robert was murdered right under the nose of his Kingsguard, and the Kingsguard is useless."
"However, my damn brother Renly seems to like the Kingsguard very much. He usurped the Queen in Highgarden, and even upgraded the Kingsguard to Rainbow Guard, what Knight of Flowers, Brienne the beauty of Tarth, Vale The Robert Royces and his ilk were all stuffed into the Rainbow Guard by him. When it comes to a real war, what is the use of these embroidered pillows?"
Ed said: "Your Majesty Stannis, I think you didn't come here to talk to me about the Kingsguard and the Rainbow Guard."
Stannis tightened his jaw, "Yes, I came here just to ask you, you have twenty thousand troops in Harrenhal, when will you march to King's Landing and the Westlands?"
Ed said: "Lannister is still in the riverlands. The Riverrun City of my father-in-law, Duke Horst, is being attacked. Many of the territories of the Vance family in Travel's Rest and the Piper family in Pink City have fallen. However, Harrenhal is not safe either, and the army of the Western Territory may bypass God's Eye Lake and attack Harrenhal at any time. I will consider attacking King's Landing and the Western Territory after I drive Lannister out of the Riverlands."
Stannis narrowed his eyes, "I can take King's Landing without your help. My only worry is that when I attack King's Landing, Tywin's army from the West will come from the Golden Road. You will enter the West as soon as possible. most."
The red-robed girl Melisandre stared at the mount direwolf under Ed, "Your Highness Wolf, your direwolf really opened my eyes. Where's your dragon?"
Ed said: "The magic dragon is in Harrenhal. If you are interested, you can go to Harrenhal." If you dare to go, I dare you to go there and never return.
Melisandre smiled, "Your Highness Wolf, Harrenhal is a cursed place, you must be careful, because the night is long and dangerous everywhere!"
This sounded like a prayer from a follower of R'hllor, the Lord of Light, but Ed knew that Melisandre was threatening.The shadow killer in the long night wants to hunt down the wolf king in Harrenhal.
Stannis took the onion knight, Melisandre, far away, and came to an abandoned village where the villagers had long since fled because of the war.
Melisandre said: "Your Majesty, Ed the wolf king is the biggest threat to your unification of Westeros. There are no lies in the holy fire."
The Onion Knight excitedly said: "Your Majesty, Ed the Wolf King is with you against Lannister. Now, Lannister's bastard, Joffrey, has stolen His Majesty's Iron Throne, and Lannister has also killed King Robert. If Your Majesty listens Melisandre would lose a staunch ally."
Melisandre smiled, "Onion Knight, you can't see the ambition of the wolf king Ed. After all, the wolf king is not an onion in a smuggler's bag. I want your majesty to get rid of the wolf king Ed."
Stannis frowned. "Killing Eddard will win me the support of the North, the Riverlands and the Vale?"
Melisandre shook her head, "No, I haven't seen it from the holy flame yet."
Stannis said depressedly: "Then why did you kill Ed? Once Ed is dead, you expect the kid Robb to fight against Tywin and the Kingslayer?"
Melisandre said: "The threat of Lannister is far less than that of the wolf king Ed. Don't forget, Ed has a dragon, and the threat of the magic dragon is greater than everything else. Your Majesty planted the seed at the beginning, and it has already blossomed. As long as the Lord of Light is released I can get rid of Ed. Once Ed dies, the dragon will belong to His Majesty, this is the wish of R'hllor, the Lord of Light."
Stannis pursed his mouth into a negative curve, "Woman, that dragon is a gift from the old gods. As a foreigner, you may not be aware that the Isle of Faces south of Harrenhal is the place with the most weirwoods. I don't know the old gods, but I still feel that the old gods are here and powerful."
Ed returned to Harrenhal, night fell quickly, after dinner, in the bedroom on the second floor of the Burning King Tower, Ed called Caitlin to his side, "Caitlyn, you are going to Sansa tonight, Arya room to sleep in.”
Because of the size of the Harrenhal chambers and the frightful tales of haunting, Arya and Sansa now slept in a bedroom on the second floor of the Kingburner Tower that was larger than any at Winterfell.
Caitlin was puzzled, "Why?"
"Sansa always said that Harrenhal is haunted. Go and sleep with Sansa and Arya tonight!"
Ed doesn't want Caitlin around if Melisandre's Shadow Killer strikes.Ed didn't want Caitlyn to witness such evil.
That night, in Ed's bedroom, only the magic dragon and flying wolf were left, and the direwolf walked at night.
The Demon Dragon Flying Wolf was lying beside Ed, its body was like a furnace, and its two blood-red eyes were like burning coals.Could this dragon really be the reincarnation of Lyanna?
Ed was by the bed in the bedroom, filled with scented candles, and lit them one by one.
The direwolf fell asleep under the bed at night, and the flying wolf hung upside down on the beam and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Dozens of candles, a blazing fire in the fireplace, and a magic dragon in the bedroom made the room very warm.
Eddard stroked the Valyrian steel greatsword Ice with one hand, and the weirwood dagger that Morona the White Mask had made for him with the other.
Valyrian steel, also known as "Dragon Steel", is the nemesis of the White Walkers. Is ice effective against shadow killers?In the dream, the Wood Dancer and the Greenseer tell Eddard to prepare a weirwood dagger when mentioning the threat of the Shadow Killer, never mentioning Valyrian steel.
In the woods outside Harrenhal, Melisandre's red hair fluttered, her pregnant belly was dripping with sweat under the moonlight, and black blood flowed out. The shadow of death was thrown into the world by the red-robed woman, and passed over Harren without a sound. walls of the fort.
Ed sat by the window and waited for a long time, but the shadow killer didn't come. He was groggy and fell asleep on the bed.
A gust of wind blew in, and the direwolf Nightwalker got out from under the bed immediately, baring his teeth and growling.
In the courtyard, Lady Direwolf, Nymeria also roared, and howling wolves echoed in the courtyard.
Ed woke up from his sleep.
A shadow killer appeared in front of Ed, and Ed recognized the outline of the shadow. The person who reflected the shadow must be Stannis, the man with a hard jaw and no smile.
Aegis Dawson outside the door, Syrio Forel, heard the voice in Ed's room, rushed over and tried to knock on the door, but found that the door was covered by a black mist and couldn't be opened at all.
The Shadow Killer seemed to be formed from the condensed black mist, waving a long sword filled with black mist, and the scented candle beside the bed flickered on and off.
The direwolf pounced towards the shadow, but it seemed to hit the air. In vain, the shadow killer rushed towards Ed. Ed reached for the weirwood dagger, but the dagger disappeared.
Ed broke out in a cold sweat. He could only use the Valyrian greatsword ice to deal with the enemy. The ice slashed at the shadow, as if it slashed at the air. After the shadow was split by the sword light, the shadow gathered together again.
In the blink of an eye, Ed's ice was blown away by a powerful force. He fell to the ground and fell under the bed. The shadow killer enveloped him, and the sword of darkness chopped off Ed's head. go down.
Ed subconsciously used his hands to cover it, the sword of darkness chopped on the weirwood bracelet, and the weirwood bracelet shot out light, hitting the shadow killer, who backed away screaming.
At this time, Ed saw the weirwood dagger not far away. It turned out that he accidentally touched it while he was sleeping and fell to the ground.
Ed picked up the weirwood dagger, and when the shadow killer approached, Ed was as agile as a civet cat, and the weirwood dagger pierced into the shadow killer's chest.
The shadow killer screamed again and again and fell to the ground, but he was still not completely dead. At this time, the flying dragon swooped down from the beam and spewed out a mouthful of dragon flames. The dragon flame enveloped the shadow killer, burning and bursting.
When Aegis Dawson and Syrio Forel broke through the door, they saw dragon flames burning on the ground, surrounded by a puddle of boiling black blood.
Syrio Forel said: "Your Highness Wolf, is there an assassin?"
"The assassin is dead." Ed stroked Flying Wolf and Nightwalker, "The assassin died at the hands of the old gods and dragons."

(End of this chapter)
Twenty thousand soldiers from the northern border entered the gate of Harrenhal in mighty force, and the residents of the Riverlands who had taken refuge in Harrenhal lined the road to welcome the arrival of the army from the northern border.
Bears danced among the crowd, giant eagles flew in the air, and giants on mammoths cheered and shouted together with the Gaoshan clan.The magic dragon and flying wolf jumped down from the majestic city wall of Harrenhal, and the soldiers on the east coast of the northern border let out screams.Now the magic dragon has become the pride of the northern border. It seems that the people in Hejian also regard the magic dragon as their pride. The magic dragon has become the key to unite people's hearts.
This is an army of nobles from the eastern part of the northern border, including the Bolton family from the Dreadfort, the Karstark family from Kahuo City, the Locke family from the Old City, the Flint family from Widow's Watch, and the Manderly family from White Harbor. army.
This legion gathered at White Harbor, boarded a ship on the east coast of the North, traveled to Bite Bay, passed the Three Sisters Islands, Five Fingers Peninsula, entered Crab Bay, landed at Maiden Springs in the Riverlands, and finally arrived at Harrenhal .
Roose Bolton of the Dreadfort, Ser Willis Manderly, Heir of White Harbor, his brother Ser Wendel Manderly, Robin Flint of Widow's Watch, Harris Howard of Hornwood Lord Wood, Lord Rickard Karstark of Cahoe, and Harion Heir of Cahoe, were at the head of the cavalry.
Ed was in the courtyard of Harrenhal, welcoming the nobles from the north. Demon dragons and wolves circled around. Direwolves walked at night. Nymeria, the lady, stood by Ed's side.
Earl Rickard, Earl Roose Bolton, brothers Willis and Wendell of White Harbor, and dozens of nobles, knelt in front of Ed, and Ed signaled everyone to get up.
Roose Bolton of Dreadfort whispered softly: "Your Highness Wolf, the nobles in the eastern part of the Northern Territory, have assembled a total of less than 2 troops. Now 8000 people have been brought to Harrenhal, and [-] people have stayed in Maiden Spring Town. .We need to help Earl William Mooton hold Maiden Springs, because many ships of the North East Coast Fleet are docked in Maiden Springs."
Ed said: "The army in the north has been traveling all the way by boat, and it has been hard work from afar. Hurry up and arrange the soldiers to live in the five towers."
The Burning King Tower, Ghost Tower, Wailing Tower, Widow's Tower, and Terror Tower in Harrenhal are all so big that they can only be described as absurd. Even the smallest guest room is enough to accommodate giants to sleep.
The Great Hall of the Castle, the Hall of Hundred Furnaces, was larger than the Great Hall of the King at Red Keep, and could accommodate an army for feasting.
Ed, Caitlin, Arya, and Sansa moved to the second floor of the Burning King Tower, where Countess Sheila Hean of Harrenhal lived. Thoros of Er, Greenbeard, Ferran, Dermot of the Rainforest, Sir Tallard and other winter wolf army commanders, live in the northern nobles.
The northern soldiers lived scatteredly in the Wailing Tower, the Ghost Tower, the Tower of Terror, and the Widow's Tower. Tents were set up in the courtyard, and the godswood was also there. After all, the godswood in Harrenhal covers an area of [-] acres.
As the largest castle in Westeros, Harrenhal would still be more than sufficient even if [-] northern troops were poured into it.
In recent years, Ed has successively conquered the rock species of Skagos Island and beyond the Great Wall. His personal prestige has reached its peak in the northern border. Many people and nobles are willing to fight for Ed.
Ed implemented the ban on salt and the household registration system, and found out many hidden populations. Now, Winterfell City has digital records of the population of the major nobles in the northern border.Even if some nobles, for their own benefit, want to send a small number of troops perfunctorily to preserve their strength when Stark is recruited, this situation is very difficult.
In the Hundred Hearth Hall, Ed hosted a banquet for the nobles in the north. The table was full of grilled trout, snail meat, onion beef, blueberry cake, and lemon cake. Roose Bolton looked around and saw that the banquet En was beside Ed, but he didn't see Domilik, and asked, "Your Highness Wolf, where is my Domilik?"
Ed said: "Robb is going to fight in Riverrun with an army. I sent Domilik to assist Robb. Luce, did your illegitimate son, Ramsay Snow, go out with the army?"
There was no emotion in Roose Bolton's ice-like eyes.
"I left Ramsay at the Dreadfort. Ramsay is too far behind his brother Domilik. Even if he goes to the south, he may not be of much help."
Little Bopi didn't come, it seems that Ed's plan to get rid of Little Bopi had to be postponed.
Earl Rickard Karstark said: "Your Highness Wolf, now that the army has gathered at Harrenhal, should the army attack King's Landing immediately, or go west, together with the West Route Army commanded by the young wolf lord Robb, to eliminate Attacking the Lannisters in the Riverlands?"
Ed said: "Stannis has already led troops, captured the Crab Claw Peninsula, Crow's Roost, and besieged Duskendale Town. When I retreated from King's Landing to Harrenhal, Harrenhal was suffering from the knights of the West, the strong pig Lile Crakehall's attack, Lannister hid hundreds of elite soldiers in Sow's Corner, and attacked Harrenhal, fortunately, I defeated them."
"Sow Horn, Buckhorn Castle and other royal nobles are next to the riverlands and very close to Harrenhal. I plan to send troops to capture these two castles. At the same time, I will send troops to plunder the king's land and plunder as many people as possible. , food, to Harrenhal."
Sir Willis, the chubby White Harbor heir, had a bushy beard and looked like a walrus. He said: "Lord Ed, I remember that the Hogg family, the lords of Sow's Horn, are just estate knights. Buckhorn Castle The earl is not considered a great nobleman, and taking down this kind of castle is nothing but a piece of cake for our northern army."
In fact, Ed's real goal is the Vale of Arryn.Lysa took Robin Arryn and hid in the Eagle's Nest City. She was Littlefinger's marionette. As long as Lysa was in the Eagle's Nest City, it was impossible for the Vale of Arryn to send a single soldier to join the army in the north.
Earlier, Ed wrote to Lysa, hoping she would send Canyon Knights to Harrenhal to join the army against Lannister.Ed also stated in the letter that there were rumors in King's Landing and the Riverlands that Lysa had an affair with Littlefinger.As a result, the letter fell into the sea and there was no response.
Therefore, before the final battle with Lannister, Ed must try to take Lysa and Duke Robin into his own hands, so that the Vale will be merged under the banner of the direwolf.
Ed had written to his ally in the valley, "Bronze" Jon Royce, Ed told the Earl of Runestone City that Lysa had an affair with Littlefinger, and it was Littlefinger who killed the noble former Duke of the Valley, Joan. Ellen Allin.
Bronze Jon wrote back to Ed. He was deeply shocked by Lysa's affair with Littlefinger and Littlefinger's murder of Jon Arryn. He would never allow it. Lord Robin Arryn of the Vale of Arryn, In the hands of someone like Lysa.
Now, Bronze Jorn is already in the valley, and has begun to contact the Hunter family in Longbow Hall, the Redford family in Red Base, the Belmore family in Hongsong City, and the Temperton family in Nine Star City, etc. They will gather soon Loyal to Jon Arryn's family, gather an army, and challenge Lysa of the Eagle's Nest City, in order to take back Lord Robin Arryn from Lysa.
The valley is about to rain. I believe that the situation in the valley will soon reach the ears of the royal family of King's Landing and the Lannisters in the western region. The little devil and Tywin definitely hope to take the opportunity to intervene in the valley and win some possible allies.
However, under Ed's careful operation, Lannister couldn't take care of himself at all.At this time, Stannis attacked the king's land, and a large area of the king's land was occupied by Stannis. At this time, Stannis' army was attacking Duskendale Town. The town fell, King's Landing was blocked, and Lannister completely lost access to the sea in the king's land.
Renly and the army of the Reach are marching towards the Crake Hall in the western region. The Crake Hall is the southern gate of the western region.
Another Stormland army under Renly's banner is slowly marching towards King's Landing after gathering at Storm's End. Once it joins up with the Reach Army from Highgarden, this army of tens of thousands is fully capable of capturing King's Landing. .
Whether it was Tywin, who was on the battlefield in the river, or the little devil in King's Landing, Cersei, they were all overwhelmed by the stag at this time, and they had no time to be distracted by the affairs of the valley.
With just a few letters, Ed got Stannis, Renly, to fight the Lannister Lion according to his ideas.
Ed wrote a letter to King Balon of the Iron Islands, but received no response.In the letter, Ed hopes that the North will form an alliance with the Iron Islands, and that the Iron Islands will attack Casterly Rock and Lannisport.
King Balon, who has a bad temper, often does not reply, and Ed has long been used to it.However, Ed speculates that it will be a matter of time before King Balon wears the driftwood crown and becomes king himself.
Prince Doran Martell of Dorne replied, in which he told Eddard that Dorne had no intention of getting involved in the war, and had no intention of forming an alliance with anyone.Prince Doran is a cautious person, he will not act rashly until the situation is clear.
However, Prince Oberyn of the Red Viper made it clear in his letter to Ed that although Dorne would not participate in the war, the Red Viper would take an army in the form of a mercenary group to fight the direwolves in the riverlands. Fight together to slay the Lannisters and avenge Princess Elia of Dorne.
Prince Oberyn once served as a mercenary in the disputed land, and even set up a mercenary group himself. He has many friends in Myr, Tyrosh, and Lys. It is very simple to pull out a mercenary group from the free trade city-state on the other side.
It is said that Prince Oberyn has already set off for Tyrosh, and that once the Mercenary Corps has recruited enough men, he will take a boat to the Riverlands.
After the northern army arrived, Ed could march to the Vale of Arryn at any time. He had the support of the Alpine Clan. Heiyu Brynden, who had served as a knight of the Blood Gate for a long time, drew a map for Ed around the Blood Gate, and the trails near the Blood Gate , Ed mastered it all.
What's more, Ed has more than 20 giant eagles in his hand, as well as the magic dragon and flying wolf. Neither the Blood Gate, the Moon Gate Fort, or the Eagle's Nest City can stop the Northern Air Force.
Ed was not in a hurry to march into the valley, on the one hand because the army of Bronze Jorn allies had not yet assembled, and on the other hand, because of Melisandre of Asshai.
The Wooden Dancer on Thousand Faces Isle and the Green Prophet beyond the Great Wall all warned Ed to be careful of the shadow killer. It must be Melisandre from Assia, and the red-robed girl must have foreseen something from the sacred fire, so she was eager to get rid of Ed. .If Ed went to the valley rashly, who knows if Melisandre will use the shadow killer to launch a sneak attack?
In the face of the shadow killer, once Ed fails, he will die unexpectedly, and everything is over.
Ed simply stayed at Harrenhal. Harrenhal was located on the north side of God's Eye Lake. The Isle of Thousand Faces in the center of God's Eye Lake was full of weirwoods.The power of the old gods here is so strong that even followers of the red god R'hllor cannot do whatever they want in Harrenhal.Ed is here to deal with Melisandre's shadow killer, and after he has no worries, he is marching into the Vale of Arryn.
The next day, Ed sent Ferran, Earl Rickard, and Sir Wendell with [-] cavalry and dozens of giants riding mammoths to attack the Antler Castle in the southeast of Harrenhal. , Sow Horn.
In addition, Ed also sent Shagga from the Stone Crow Department, Zira from the Black Ear Department, Munn and Ulf from the Moon People Department, Greenwood from the Shuzi Department, Timet from the Scorching People Department, and others to the king's land. rural looting.
Ed told the leaders of these high-mountain clans, "Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Move the common people to Harrenhal, especially women and children. Capture more. Grab more food and livestock."
Xia Ga was dressed in exquisite plate armor, and he waved a sharp battle axe, "Father of life, don't worry, the warriors of our mountain tribes knew how to rob since they were young, otherwise they would have starved to death."
Qila with a human ear necklace around his neck said: "Father of life, if you teach us to plunder, it would be too much. Fish can swim, birds can fly, and the warriors of the Gaoshan clan are born to rob houses."
After the northern army arrived at Antlers, Earl Steve Buckwell of Antlers, a fair-skinned, frail young man, wanted to close the city gates to resist, but Duoduo took a few giants with him. With a big tree stump, the city gate was smashed open a few times, and Earl Steve Buckwell had no choice but to surrender with his soldiers and his family immediately.
At Buckhorn, King Joffrey's crowned stag and roaring lion banners were lowered, and the direwolf banners were hoisted.
The lord of Sow's Corner was Sir Roger Hoag, a landed knight, gray-haired but strong and strong with a fiery temper.The mercenary knights under Sow's Corner, plus the temporarily recruited militia from the territory, together did not exceed 300 people, crowded on the city wall of Sow's Corner.
When Sir Roger Hogg saw the giant riding on the mammoth and thousands of heavily armored cavalry, they were clamoring to resist. As a result, the mercenary knights guarding the city were frightened, and a mercenary knight opened the side door, The northern cavalry swarmed in. After a short and bloody resistance, Sir Roger Hogg was captured, and the direwolf flag was raised on the top of Sowhorn.
The antler castle and the sow's horns have no strategic value, but it is not bad to take down these two castles as an appetizer.The belongings of these two castles, cattle, sheep, and pigs, were all moved to Harrenhal by the Winter Wolf Army.
Ser Roger Hogg of Sowhorn and Lord Steve Buckwell of Buckhorn were escorted to Harrenhal with their families.
Sir Roger Hogg protested to Ed, "Your Majesty Wolf, we are loyal to King Joffrey, why did you attack my castle innocently?"
Eddard said: "Joffrey is the blood of Cersei and Kingslayer, and he is not qualified to sit on the Iron Throne. Ser Roger Hogg, while King Robert is still alive, you let the Lannister army , hide in your castle, as soon as King Robert died, the knights of the Westland, the Strong Pig, led the Lannister soldiers, and set off from Sow's Corner, trying to rob Harrenhal."
"You should be glad you met me. If Stannis had captured your castle, he would have killed you for the charge of colluding with the Lannisters alone."
Steve Buckwell of Buckhorn Castle said weakly: "Your Majesty Wolf, the Winter Wolves have occupied our castle and emptied the castle of food, property, and livestock. It's not fair to us."
Ed said: "We are at war, how fair is it? If you are willing to fight for the Winter Wolf Army and swear allegiance to me, after the war, I will return your castle. It all depends on your own performance."
Sir Roger Hogg frowned and said, "If we swear allegiance to you, we will become traitors in the eyes of King Joffrey. The nobles of our kingdom, whoever occupies the Iron Throne, must be loyal to whom."
Ed said: "Then you have to live in the dungeon and wait for the kid king to rescue you, or spend money to redeem you. Don't forget, there are three kings now, you are loyal to Joffrey, in Renly, Stan Nice is a traitor in his eyes."
The dragon and the wolf were hovering in the air, and the gray-haired Sir Roger Hogg and the immature Earl Steve Buckwell looked at each other, both showing fear of the dragon.
Ed said: "I have giant dragons, giant eagles, giants, and tens of thousands of heavy armored cavalry. The valleys and the riverlands are all loyal allies of the northern border. I have merged beyond the Great Wall. This is something that even the conquerors can't do." What you have done, you have to think about it clearly. During the war, it is very dangerous to stand on the wrong team and make the wrong bet. Your castle and territory are likely to be reduced or even deprived."
Sir Roger Hogg, Lord Steve Buckwell, kneels before Eddard and swears his allegiance to Eddard.
The warriors of the Gaoshan clan, Shaga, Timet, Qila, Greenwood, Ulf and others, brought back more than 600 civilians from the king's neck, and the carriage was packed with food, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese.
Ed ordered these civilians to be placed in Harrenhal, and let them polish their armor in the armory, feather their long arrows, cook in the kitchen, and feed the horses.
Upper Green Fork, Twins.
The castle of the Twin River City spans both banks of the Green Fork River, and there is a stone castle on each bank, which is exactly the same, connected by a stone bridge in the middle, and the Wei River Tower in the middle of the bridge.
Lord Walder Frey sat on a chair in the hall of East River Castle. The seat was made of iron oak, and the back was made into the shape of the Twin Rivers. He was over 90 years old and looked like a weasel covered with old spots.
Stevron Frey, the heir of the Twin River City, who is in his 60s, said: "Father, the army from the north has already moved towards the Twin River City, led by Robb, the son of the Wolf King, and Black Fish. Brynden."
Marquis Walder said disdainfully: "I thought it was Ed the wolf king himself leading the army! This brat wants to come, he wants to walk over the bridge of our Frey family's Twin River City, hehe! I may not open the door yet!"
Stevron was taken aback, "Father, I heard that this northern army has more than 3 people. It would be unwise for us to provoke the northern army. Don't forget, Alma and Olifa, both Became Stark's adopted son by Ed's side."
"The northern border is an ally of the riverlands. Provoking the army of the northern border will inevitably lead to siege from the neighbors in the northern border and the riverland. Don't forget, Duke Hoster's health has improved, and now it is not Edmure who is in charge of Riverrun. , but the Duke of Hoster!"
The Marquess of Walder snorted softly, "Duke Hoster's health is better, but I can't survive. I didn't say that I couldn't open the door. As long as that kid Robb is willing to marry a Frey family girl, I will let him cross the river. If he refuses, take a long detour, walk a few hundred miles, and go to the Ruby Beach downstream to cross the river!"
Lothor Frey, the steward, was a cripple, son of Lord Frey, and said: "Robb is a Stark, heir to the North, and others say that now Joffrey, Stannis, Renly , are all crowned as kings, Ed is fully capable of being crowned as king, and may wear the crown of the king of the north at any time."
"If the daughter of the Frey family at the crossing of the river can marry Robb, and the Frey family and the Stark family marry, the nobles of the riverlands will be similar to the Vance family, the Mallister family, and the Bracken family. , Blackwood family, who dares to look down on Foyle?"
The Frey family only has a history of 600 years, which is incomparable to those ancient families that once ruled the riverlands. Therefore, the Frey family regards marriage with a great nobleman more than anything else.
In addition, Marquis Walder has married eight wives during his long life, and has countless descendants. The Frey family has relatives all over Westeros through marriage.
Stevron frowned, "Robb is the young wolf lord, and it's unlikely that the wolf king would agree to this marriage so easily."
Marquis Walder said: "Then let Edmure Tully replace me! I have been proposing marriage to Riverrun for so many years, hoping to marry a daughter to Edmure, and even let him choose at will, but Horst has always refused in every possible way. Now that Riverrun is besieged, if Riverrun wants reinforcements from the north to arrive, let Edmure marry one of my daughters, isn't that too much to ask?"
"Close the city gate and raise the drawbridge. Anyway, Ed and Horst, if they don't meet my conditions, they won't be able to cross the river."
The army from the north arrived at the city of the Twin Rivers. Lord Frey sat on a sedan chair at the top of the city, his smile gradually disappearing.
Thirty thousand northern cavalry, infantry with long swords, armor and long spears, exuding a cold light of steel, Marge, the king of giants, led more than 100 giants, riding on mammoths, and warriors of the giant eagle tribe, flying by on giant eagles Twin Rivers.
Varamyr was riding on a four-meter-high snow bear, and beside him were moas, unicorns, and wild boars from the Baltic region, all of which were equally large and frightening.
All the descendants of the Frey family were dumbfounded.
At this time, Stevron, the heir of Twin Rivers, came over, "Father, a raven flew from Maiden Springs. The army of more than 2 troops from the northern border has landed in Maiden Springs by sea. The army outside Twin Rivers Dajun is just the West Route Army. Father, do you still want to propose marriage?"
Marquis Walder said excitedly: "What kind of marriage are you talking about? The Frey family is the most staunch ally of Stark and Tully. We will be the eternal servants of the North. Hurry up and open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and welcome the Young Wolf Lord!"
Night fell over the Riverlands. James stood on the wall of the Pink City of the Piper family, looking at the camp outside the castle. The campfires of the Westland Army shone in the moonlight like pearls scattered in the world.
The Western Territory army easily occupied the City of Rest of the Vance family and the Pink City of the Piper family, and also swept away the Acorn Hall of the Smallwood family. However, the remnants of Marco Piper and Karel Vance still Hold out resistance in the surrounding hills and woods.
James walked out of Pink City Castle and returned to his tent at the camp.
Lord Tywin now lives in Lord Piper's castle and sleeps in Lord Piper's bedroom, but James likes living in the camp and being with the soldiers.
James opened the tent and walked in. On the bed lay a beautiful woman with blond hair. She had emerald green eyes and was wearing an ivory silk dress. For a moment, James thought it was Cersei.
"Who are you?" Could it be a camp prostitute?The camp was always accompanied by whores, and many soldiers liked to seek the comfort of whores before a big battle.But James has only slept with Cersei, whether it is a lady or a prostitute, James is not interested.
"Tarena." The blond beauty sat up, showing an evil smile, "Sir Jaime, I'm the beast tamer from Lys across the narrow sea, and I'm called the Golden Lady, and I'm here to win this prize for the Lannisters." a war."
James thought it was very interesting, "Golden girl? I don't have gold to pay you, let alone be stupid enough to believe that a war can be won by relying on an animal trainer. You probably are the kind who command bears to dance at weddings Your little tricks are completely useless on the battlefield."
The golden girl had a sunny smile, and her eyes had an eerie red light, and James found it hard to take his eyes off the golden girl's eyes.
"Sir James, if you don't accept my help, what do you want to use to fight against the direwolves, bears, and giant eagles of Wolf King Ed?"
The eagle nearly lifted Joffrey's cap, tearing a chunk of Joffrey's scalp.James had come into close contact with Ed's direwolf Nocturnal in King's Landing. The dark monster was taller than a warhorse. Any warhorse seemed to be afraid of the direwolf's smell.
The animal trainer might be able to deal with those beasts, James began to re-examine the golden girl in front of him.
"Can you control direwolves, bears, giant eagles and other beasts? As far as I remember, only skinchangers can control beasts."
The golden girl walked, her plump waist and hips swaying, every step was a temptation, "The skin-changer is just a kind of telepathy, the beast tamer is stronger than the skin-changer, I can easily charm those fierce beasts."
James snorted softly, "Beauty, don't just play tricks, I'm in King's Landing, and I've seen Ed the Wolf King, McCain the Eagle King, Michu the Giant Eagle Prince, and Byers the Bear King, and there are fierce beasts around them, you What about the beasts?"
The golden girl said: "I can easily prove it to you, please look behind you."
James turned around and saw a male lion was standing behind him with its mouth open. James was terrified and backed away again and again. He held his sword in his hand, "You actually hid such a big lion. In my tent?"
The golden girl stretched out her hand to caress the male lion, and the male lion lay docilely on the ground. The golden girl smiled and said, "I thought, how much do the Lannisters love lions? Lannister boasted that he roared at the lion, and when he saw the lion , why are you so scared?"
James put away the long sword and strengthened his spirits, "Actually, I'm not afraid, it's just a little accident. Golden Girl, if you can really help me defeat Stark's skinchangers, my father, Lord Tywin, I can give you a lot of gold."
The golden girl followed James to the hall of the Pink City. The wooden screen in the hall is a dancing girl, which is the coat of arms of the Piper family.Lord Tywin was staring intently at the map, with Ser Kevan beside him.
James introduced: "Father, uncle, this is the golden girl Tarena, she is a beast trainer, and can help us deal with those skin-changers of Wolf King Ed."
Duke Tywin stared at Tarena in front of him with those golden eyes, "Beast tamer? This beautiful lady is so weak. I feel that Ed's direwolf could bite off her neck with one bite. You count on her to deal with beasts and skinchangers?"
James lowered his voice, "Father, she easily brought a big lion into my camp. There were more than 2 Western soldiers in the camp, and none of them were seen."
Ser Kevan murmured, "Impossible."
There were bursts of screams from the guards outside the door, and the lion rushed in, knocking two Lannister guards in red robes and lion helmets to the ground.
Sir Kevan gasped in fright, and Duke Tywin was very calm, "Golden lady, there is no doubt that your lion has proved itself. I think you are a lion, very similar to my Lannister coat of arms. Yes, it would be great if you could stay and help the Lannisters. Your lion can help me with the direwolves."
There was murderous intent in the golden girl's green eyes.
"In addition to taming lions, I can also charm all kinds of birds and beasts. Lord Tywin, I think you should deal with stags wearing rose wreaths at this time, rather than direwolves. The stag wearing rose wreaths, Went to the west."
Lord Tywin and Ser Kevan looked at each other in shock.The stag with the garland of roses clearly refers to Renly who was crowned King in Highgarden.
In the past two days, the news that Renly's army set off from Highgarden to King's Landing made Tywin feel very troublesome.The army of the River Bend gathered in the ancient oak city, and the forward troops had already entered the territory of the west along the coastal road.
There were more than [-] troops in the western region. After crossing the Red Fork River in the riverland, they dared not go further north into the riverland because they were worried that Renly would march to the western region.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Tywin and Kevan suppressed the news brought by the raven, and did not tell anyone about Renly's march to the west, but this golden girl actually knew, and Tywin found it even more inconceivable.
Duke Tywin cleared his throat, "Golden girl, how did you know some military secrets? Many nobles in the western region in my camp don't know that the stag wearing a rose wreath has gone to the western region. How do you know?"
The golden girl said: "As an animal trainer, I can understand the language of animals, and don't easily reveal secrets to ravens. At this time, I can charm ravens, let them fall on my arms, control ravens, Steal letters. But don’t worry, I didn’t steal your Raven’s letters, I have my own eyes and ears.”
A group of sparrows flew into the hall chirping, covering the tables, wooden screens and beams, at least a few hundred. James, Lord Tywin, and Ser Kevan all fell into deep self-doubt.
James said: "When I was in King's Landing, I heard that the Eagle King McCain can control owls, falcons and eagles, and gain bird vision. Ed also has this ability. Can you gain the vision of sparrows through these sparrows?"
The golden girl nodded, "It's easy, so I saw the stag wearing the rose through these sparrows, that is, Renly, who usurped the king, his marching route. There is an octospider Varys in King's Landing, who always likes to brag about himself In fact, the beast trainer's little bird is the most powerful."
Duke Tywin said: "Golden girl, we already know how powerful you are, so please tell me, how to hunt and kill this stag wearing a rose crown?"
The golden girl said mysteriously: "In the forest of seedlings, pheasants and wild boars, roses and stags are bound to fail."
Eddard holds Stannis' letter in his study in the Burning Tower of Harrenhal.In the letter, Stannis invited Eddard to meet him on the Kingsroad, east of Harrenhal.
Could this be the conspiracy of the red-robed woman Melisandre?Melisandre of Assia wanted to assassinate Ed, and the Green Prophet and Wood Dancer were all in the dream, sending Ed a warning.Will it be safe to go to the appointment?
But if you don't go to the appointment, it means that you may lose an ally like Stannis.
After capturing Duskendale Town, Crab Claw Peninsula and Crow's Rest Castle, Stannis has a large area of land in the king's land, and his strength has greatly increased.Now all of the crownlands north of Rosby and Stokeworth are in Stannis' hands.Of course, except for Antler Castle and Sow Horn, these two castles were captured by Ed's winter wolf army.
Soros, the red-robed monk, walked into the study and handed Ed a glass of Blue Noble.Ed said: "Soros, you are a follower of R'hllor, the Lord of Light. Have you heard that some red-robed women can rely on the king's child to create shadow killers?"
Although the red-robed monk Soros is a fat wine and meat monk, he devoutly believes in the red god R'hllor, but he is not so fanatical.
Soros thought for a while, "Your Highness Wolf, why do you ask this? In the continent of Essos, it is said that there are some red-robed women who have the ability to breed shadow killers. Shadow killers will appear at night, approaching the enemy quietly, Enemy fatal blow."
Ed said: "Night? The shadow killer can't come and go during the day?"
Soros said: "Under the sun, shadow killers cannot wreak havoc."
The appointed time was at noon, and Ed felt that under the sun, Melisandre's shadow killer should not be able to do whatever he wanted.So Ed rode on the direwolf night walk, took the water dancer Syrio Forel, the red monk Soros, Aegis Dawson, Sir Barristan, Ferran, the Lightning King, and Sean together, and left. Harrenhal, galloping towards the Kingsroad.
Aegis Dawson is Ed's banner bearer, and the direwolf of the Stark family roars on the banner.They waited for a while on the King's Road, and Stannis, the onion knight Davos Seaworth and the red-robed woman Melisandre appeared in front of Ed.
The red robed woman Melisandre is the banner bearer, and Stannis has converted to the belief of the red god R'hllor, so his banner is a flaming red heart banner, and the crowned stag of the Baratheon family seems to be in the middle of the banner. Like a fly, it is completely swallowed by the flames, and it is impossible to see it unless you look carefully.
Melisandre was wearing a large red robe, covering her snow-white skin. Ed was curious whether she was pregnant under the large red robe, and whether she was pregnant with a shadow killer.
Ed smiled and said, "Your Majesty Stannis, it's a pleasure to see you again."
Stannis glanced coldly at the guards behind Ed, "Ed, you are still polite enough to address me as Your Majesty."
Ed said: "Your Majesty Stannis, there are so many good news recently! I heard that you took the vassals of the Narrow Sea and captured Duskendale Town, Crow's Roost and Crab Claw Peninsula with ease. Most of the king's territory fell to into your hands."
Stannis nodded slightly, "That's right, Lord Riverey Lake of Duskendale surrendered, as did Lord William Staunton of Raven's Rest. Duskendale is the largest port in the Kingdom after King's Landing, I get A lot of food, horses and ships. Ed, I have to thank you, it was you who suggested me to attack the kingdom, my territory, before there were only a few islands in the narrow sea, and the Cape Marseilles, now, my territory has expanded several times , The strength of the army has also increased several times, exceeding 1 people."
"But, compared to Renly, I'm too poor. The nobles of the Reach and the Stormlands all go to lick Renly's noble ass. I can't bear it especially. The nobles of the Stormlands, Storm's End The law should belong to me, but those damn nobles of the Stormlands all abandoned me and took refuge in Renly."
Ed said: "Your Majesty, you and I eliminated Lannister together. Your Majesty occupied King's Landing and sat on the Iron Throne. Who would dare to question the legitimacy of your crown?"
Stannis said: "Many of my Narrow Sea nobles say that the strength of the northern border is too strong, and you will be crowned king sooner or later. Do you have this plan?"
Ed shook his head, "I'm not Robert's heir, how could I be crowned king? His Majesty Stannis, Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen are all the bastards of Cersei and the Kingslayer, are you The legitimate heir to the Iron Throne." Although not loved by the people.
Stannis said grimly, "You tell the truth, and I don't thank you for the obvious. You say you have no ambition to be king, but why is Ser Barristan with you? He is Your Kingsguard?"
Ser Barristan said: "Your Majesty Stannis, Cersei was in King's Landing that day, ordered her Hercules pet, and strangled King Robert. Many of my hypocritical Kingsguard brothers have become Lannisters. It’s impossible for me to be the guard of Wild Joffrey, so I took refuge in Eddard the Wolf King. Now, I am Eddard the Wolf King’s bodyguard and the commander of the Winter Wolf Army. I am no longer the Kingsguard.”
Stannis snorted softly, "Ser Barristan, you left the Kingsguard, and the Kingsguard in King's Landing has become a nest of snakes and rats. I ascended the throne on Dragonstone, and I didn't set up my Kingsguard because No. Mad King Aerys died at the hands of his Kingsguard, Robert was murdered right under the nose of his Kingsguard, and the Kingsguard is useless."
"However, my damn brother Renly seems to like the Kingsguard very much. He usurped the Queen in Highgarden, and even upgraded the Kingsguard to Rainbow Guard, what Knight of Flowers, Brienne the beauty of Tarth, Vale The Robert Royces and his ilk were all stuffed into the Rainbow Guard by him. When it comes to a real war, what is the use of these embroidered pillows?"
Ed said: "Your Majesty Stannis, I think you didn't come here to talk to me about the Kingsguard and the Rainbow Guard."
Stannis tightened his jaw, "Yes, I came here just to ask you, you have twenty thousand troops in Harrenhal, when will you march to King's Landing and the Westlands?"
Ed said: "Lannister is still in the riverlands. The Riverrun City of my father-in-law, Duke Horst, is being attacked. Many of the territories of the Vance family in Travel's Rest and the Piper family in Pink City have fallen. However, Harrenhal is not safe either, and the army of the Western Territory may bypass God's Eye Lake and attack Harrenhal at any time. I will consider attacking King's Landing and the Western Territory after I drive Lannister out of the Riverlands."
Stannis narrowed his eyes, "I can take King's Landing without your help. My only worry is that when I attack King's Landing, Tywin's army from the West will come from the Golden Road. You will enter the West as soon as possible. most."
The red-robed girl Melisandre stared at the mount direwolf under Ed, "Your Highness Wolf, your direwolf really opened my eyes. Where's your dragon?"
Ed said: "The magic dragon is in Harrenhal. If you are interested, you can go to Harrenhal." If you dare to go, I dare you to go there and never return.
Melisandre smiled, "Your Highness Wolf, Harrenhal is a cursed place, you must be careful, because the night is long and dangerous everywhere!"
This sounded like a prayer from a follower of R'hllor, the Lord of Light, but Ed knew that Melisandre was threatening.The shadow killer in the long night wants to hunt down the wolf king in Harrenhal.
Stannis took the onion knight, Melisandre, far away, and came to an abandoned village where the villagers had long since fled because of the war.
Melisandre said: "Your Majesty, Ed the wolf king is the biggest threat to your unification of Westeros. There are no lies in the holy fire."
The Onion Knight excitedly said: "Your Majesty, Ed the Wolf King is with you against Lannister. Now, Lannister's bastard, Joffrey, has stolen His Majesty's Iron Throne, and Lannister has also killed King Robert. If Your Majesty listens Melisandre would lose a staunch ally."
Melisandre smiled, "Onion Knight, you can't see the ambition of the wolf king Ed. After all, the wolf king is not an onion in a smuggler's bag. I want your majesty to get rid of the wolf king Ed."
Stannis frowned. "Killing Eddard will win me the support of the North, the Riverlands and the Vale?"
Melisandre shook her head, "No, I haven't seen it from the holy flame yet."
Stannis said depressedly: "Then why did you kill Ed? Once Ed is dead, you expect the kid Robb to fight against Tywin and the Kingslayer?"
Melisandre said: "The threat of Lannister is far less than that of the wolf king Ed. Don't forget, Ed has a dragon, and the threat of the magic dragon is greater than everything else. Your Majesty planted the seed at the beginning, and it has already blossomed. As long as the Lord of Light is released I can get rid of Ed. Once Ed dies, the dragon will belong to His Majesty, this is the wish of R'hllor, the Lord of Light."
Stannis pursed his mouth into a negative curve, "Woman, that dragon is a gift from the old gods. As a foreigner, you may not be aware that the Isle of Faces south of Harrenhal is the place with the most weirwoods. I don't know the old gods, but I still feel that the old gods are here and powerful."
Ed returned to Harrenhal, night fell quickly, after dinner, in the bedroom on the second floor of the Burning King Tower, Ed called Caitlin to his side, "Caitlyn, you are going to Sansa tonight, Arya room to sleep in.”
Because of the size of the Harrenhal chambers and the frightful tales of haunting, Arya and Sansa now slept in a bedroom on the second floor of the Kingburner Tower that was larger than any at Winterfell.
Caitlin was puzzled, "Why?"
"Sansa always said that Harrenhal is haunted. Go and sleep with Sansa and Arya tonight!"
Ed doesn't want Caitlin around if Melisandre's Shadow Killer strikes.Ed didn't want Caitlyn to witness such evil.
That night, in Ed's bedroom, only the magic dragon and flying wolf were left, and the direwolf walked at night.
The Demon Dragon Flying Wolf was lying beside Ed, its body was like a furnace, and its two blood-red eyes were like burning coals.Could this dragon really be the reincarnation of Lyanna?
Ed was by the bed in the bedroom, filled with scented candles, and lit them one by one.
The direwolf fell asleep under the bed at night, and the flying wolf hung upside down on the beam and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Dozens of candles, a blazing fire in the fireplace, and a magic dragon in the bedroom made the room very warm.
Eddard stroked the Valyrian steel greatsword Ice with one hand, and the weirwood dagger that Morona the White Mask had made for him with the other.
Valyrian steel, also known as "Dragon Steel", is the nemesis of the White Walkers. Is ice effective against shadow killers?In the dream, the Wood Dancer and the Greenseer tell Eddard to prepare a weirwood dagger when mentioning the threat of the Shadow Killer, never mentioning Valyrian steel.
In the woods outside Harrenhal, Melisandre's red hair fluttered, her pregnant belly was dripping with sweat under the moonlight, and black blood flowed out. The shadow of death was thrown into the world by the red-robed woman, and passed over Harren without a sound. walls of the fort.
Ed sat by the window and waited for a long time, but the shadow killer didn't come. He was groggy and fell asleep on the bed.
A gust of wind blew in, and the direwolf Nightwalker got out from under the bed immediately, baring his teeth and growling.
In the courtyard, Lady Direwolf, Nymeria also roared, and howling wolves echoed in the courtyard.
Ed woke up from his sleep.
A shadow killer appeared in front of Ed, and Ed recognized the outline of the shadow. The person who reflected the shadow must be Stannis, the man with a hard jaw and no smile.
Aegis Dawson outside the door, Syrio Forel, heard the voice in Ed's room, rushed over and tried to knock on the door, but found that the door was covered by a black mist and couldn't be opened at all.
The Shadow Killer seemed to be formed from the condensed black mist, waving a long sword filled with black mist, and the scented candle beside the bed flickered on and off.
The direwolf pounced towards the shadow, but it seemed to hit the air. In vain, the shadow killer rushed towards Ed. Ed reached for the weirwood dagger, but the dagger disappeared.
Ed broke out in a cold sweat. He could only use the Valyrian greatsword ice to deal with the enemy. The ice slashed at the shadow, as if it slashed at the air. After the shadow was split by the sword light, the shadow gathered together again.
In the blink of an eye, Ed's ice was blown away by a powerful force. He fell to the ground and fell under the bed. The shadow killer enveloped him, and the sword of darkness chopped off Ed's head. go down.
Ed subconsciously used his hands to cover it, the sword of darkness chopped on the weirwood bracelet, and the weirwood bracelet shot out light, hitting the shadow killer, who backed away screaming.
At this time, Ed saw the weirwood dagger not far away. It turned out that he accidentally touched it while he was sleeping and fell to the ground.
Ed picked up the weirwood dagger, and when the shadow killer approached, Ed was as agile as a civet cat, and the weirwood dagger pierced into the shadow killer's chest.
The shadow killer screamed again and again and fell to the ground, but he was still not completely dead. At this time, the flying dragon swooped down from the beam and spewed out a mouthful of dragon flames. The dragon flame enveloped the shadow killer, burning and bursting.
When Aegis Dawson and Syrio Forel broke through the door, they saw dragon flames burning on the ground, surrounded by a puddle of boiling black blood.
Syrio Forel said: "Your Highness Wolf, is there an assassin?"
"The assassin is dead." Ed stroked Flying Wolf and Nightwalker, "The assassin died at the hands of the old gods and dragons."
