Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 80 Garrisoning the Great Wall

Ed quickly recruited 200 soldiers who were willing to serve on the Great Wall of Desperation, and Ed selected [-] people who were familiar with water skills, and handed them over to Hai Hua, a soldier of Winterfell.

Haihua grew up in the White Knife River, and his family has been fishermen for generations. Ed ordered Haihua to take these 200 people to the fishing village on the east coast of Amber's family.There docked the thirty ironborn longships that Eddard had captured on Skagos Isle.

"Haihua, you bring thirty longships to Eastwatch. Old Xiong has promised to open Eastwatch to Winterfell. You hand over these ships to Eastwatch Commander Carter Pike, and the Night Watchmen can join our people. Use them together. When you arrive at Eastwatch, just settle down with our soldiers and take people to repair Greenguard on the west side of Eastwatch."

Haihua stroked his messy brown hair, smiled and said, "Lord Ed, I'm not good at building castles."

"The night watchman will send some craftsmen to help, and the gifted land is full of stones. Work hard, and you will be the captain of Fort Greenguard in the future. The seafood caught from the Shivering Sea and Seal Bay will be stored in the icehouse of Fort Greenguard. You will be lucky .”

As soon as Haihua heard that he could become the captain, he immediately became motivated, and he set off with 200 people.

Ed selected 200 people to go to the Long Night Fort, and handed them over to Harwin, a soldier of Winterfell.Harwin was the son of Hullen, the stable master of Winterfell, and he grew up in Winterfell.

"Harwin, the Nightfort is the largest castle on the Great Wall. You take 200 people to the Nightfort to repair the castle, and the icehouse here will store meat and food in the future. The craftsmen of Castle Black will come to the Nightfort to help."

Harwin was a little nervous, "Lord Ed, I heard that the Nightfort is haunted. Rat chef, 79 guards, the ghost of Mad Axe, and the Night King have all lived there, I dare not go."

Ed raised his eyebrows, "Your father Hullen always wanted you to go to the stable to take over from him. If you don't want to go, you won't have the chance to fight in the future. Go to the stable and raise horses with your father! Go to the Nightfort You are the captain, and you are the groom when you return to Winterfell, choose yourself!"

Harwin smiled apologetically, "Lord Eddard, I'd rather have the Nightfort than a stable."

Next, Ed chose Erin, a soldier of Winterfell, to be the commander of Westbridge Watch. Westbridge Watch is the westernmost castle of the Great Wall, with the Shadow Tower on the east and the Skull Bridge on the west.

"Erin, take these 200 people and go to Westbridge Watch to rebuild the castle. Lord Commander Mormont the Bear has written to the Shadow Tower, asking Sir Daniel Mallister, the Commander of the Shadow Tower, to send craftsmen to cooperate with you Rebuild Westbridge Lookout, and after Westbridge Lookout is built, you and the Night Watch will set up a fort on the Skull Bridge to prevent the wildlings from crossing the Grand Canyon."

"When West Bridge Hope has an ice bank, the fishermen of Bear Island, Deep Forest Fort, and Mountain Clan will send the seafood and fish caught in Ice Bay to West Bridge Hope for storage."

Erin looked distressed, "Lord Ed, the Skull Bridge guards the mouth of the Milky River, will the savages often come to attack?"

Ed said in relief: "In fact, the wildlings will deliberately avoid the Skull Bridge. There are usually brothers from the Night Watchman from the Shadow Tower guarding it. Colin Halfhand from the Shadow Tower and Sir Daniel Mallister are all experienced. They will To help you and the Winterfell soldiers adapt to Westbridge Lookout and Skull Bridge."

After arranging the commanders and soldiers of Fort Greenguard, Castle Black, and Westbridge Watch, Ed's winter food reserve plan has taken a solid first step.

Once the castle is repaired, the fishing boats in the northern border can continuously send seafood from Shivering Sea, Seal Bay, Haibing Bay, prey from Wolf Forest, corn, oats, and blueberries from the mountains to the castle of Impassable Great Wall for storage. Ed has gained With several "refrigerators", the problem of food storage will be easily solved.

Meanwhile, Winterfell tightens its grip on the Wall.

Facing the morning light the next day, Ed left Houcrown Town with his entourage, and headed towards Winterfell along the King's Road. Half a month later, they arrived at Long Lake, which is also one of the birthplaces of the White Knife River. Entered the territory of the Stark family.Along the way, Ed kept observing the hills and mountains.

Ed, with his entourage and children, turned east from the King's Road here and entered the mountainous area, where there is the iron mine of the Stark family.

Many people think that the northern border is barren and the northern border is poor, but the black soil is fertile and there are many minerals in the mountains, but many virgin lands have not been cultivated.There are many silver mines in the territory of the Manderly family, and the silverware processing in White Harbor occupies an important position in the Seven Kingdoms.Iron ore can be found in many places in the North, and it is the same in Stark's domain.

Many workers were loading the iron into the carriage under the command of Jacks, a soldier of Winterfell. When he saw Ed coming, Jacks said quickly: "Lord Ed, you are finally back. The soldiers of Winterfell have already arrived He returned to Winterfell half a month ago."

"How is the expansion of the winter shelter town going?" Ed asked.

"The forge, barracks, and stables have all been put into use, and only some buildings are still under construction." Jacks replied, "The unicorns brought back by the soldiers of Winterfell have become the mythical beasts of Winterfell Town, and many residents go to the beasts. The financial advisor Clare charges every viewer a copper coin, and the unicorn earns a lot."

The unicorn cub is a rock species on Skagos Island. It was a gift for Ed. Unicorns have never appeared in the Seven Kingdoms. There is no record of this animal even in the Academy City. Curious unicorns are naturally attractive to ordinary people.Krall has always been able to find ways to make money, but it's a pity that relying on unicorns alone is not enough.

Ed walked around the iron mine, and he found that there were quartz stones in the crushed stones dug out of the iron mine.Miners would dig out the iron ore, and the quartz would be thrown away as trash.

Few people in the Seven Kingdoms are aware of the value of quartz sand, but Ed, who traveled through it, knows very well that quartz stone is very valuable.This is not only a high-quality stone, but also an essential material for making glass.

Ed has sent a letter to Klar, the financial advisor of Winterfell, asking him to help find some glass craftsmen from Myr to work in Winterfell.Myr's glass craftsmanship is unique in the world, Myr lens, Myr glass is as famous as Myr lace, the telescope used by pirates, and the telescope used by bachelors to observe stars are inseparable from Myr lens.

Winterfell is also a beneficiary of Myr Glass. Winterfell has a vast glass garden. Relying on the glass garden and the heat preservation of the hot springs, Winterfell can grow vegetables all year round.In the cold winter season, the glass garden is the vegetable basket of Winterfell and even the winter towns, helping the people in the north and the Starks to survive winter after winter.

Ed didn't know if Krall had found a glassmaker. Once a glassmaker was hired, Ed needed quartz stone.

Quartz sand can be found by rivers, lakes and seas, but Ed feels that the quartz stone in the mountains is of better quality.

"Collect these white stones and stack them together." Ed ordered.

Jakes frowned, "Master Ed, what's the use of these white stones? They're all waste materials!"

"I have my own magic."
