The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 1 The leader at the end of troubled times

As a place with no danger to defend, but also rich and rich in the Four Wars, the Riverlands have been repeatedly ravaged by wars, and the long and cruel days seem to have no end in sight.

Since ancient times, kings have fought for the ownership of the fertile land between the rivers. Iron hooves have repeatedly trampled on this land, but after countless bones and blood, they are still unable to unite.

Even in the era when the true dragon king ruled Westeros, whenever civil war broke out, this land would still bear the brunt of the impact.

And now, another war is engulfing the land, even if it's in its final stages, with King's Landing captured and the Rebels - or Rebels, depending on your perspective - fully victorious.

The ravens that can bring news of peace have not yet scattered across the Three Rivers Plains, and the end of the chaotic era is still spreading in disorder.

However, among all the living beings who grew up in this chaotic era, there are already many visionaries who have begun to plan for their own...and perhaps others' futures.

On the land belonging to the Guback family by the God's Eye Lake, a group of very typical bandits gathered together.

The Guback family paid a huge price for siding with the losers. Their territory also entered a state of disorder due to the heavy losses suffered by the lord, and became a paradise for the lawless.

But this is not why this team came here, or rather, not entirely because of it.

The composition of this team stationed by the God's Eye Lake is extremely complicated. Bandits in ill-fitting armor and deserters with old and faded blouses are chatting together. Mercenaries who look like tough guys are carefully sharpening their swords, and there are simple crops. Han clumsily practiced using the spear, but no matter how hard he tried, it still looked like he was using a farm tool.

However, although the composition of this team is messy, what is rare is that they have a strong sense of discipline.

The camp that gathered more than 400 people was quite neat. There was no urine and feces flowing on the ground like most campsites, and there were no drunken men lying on the ground. People were busy with what they were doing in an orderly and conscious manner, even if someone wanted to make a mess. Come on, someone will soon remind you of the warning.

The manager of this team is planning for the future of this team in a tent on a hill in the camp.

There were many soldiers wearing iron armor outside the big gray tent. Even in a safe camp, they remained vigilant, with their palms always on their weapons.

As for the tent, the seats were crowded with leaders dressed in different styles. Many of them were dressed like classic gangsters, but there were also many who looked like farmers.

They were all watching the man in the first place, watching him listen to the message brought by the scouts.

"That is to say, King's Landing really sent two thousand people over, and these two thousand people are elite soldiers of the Lannister family."

Hugo Tollet, who had a beard and shawl blond hair tied back, said that the news made his brows furrowed, and a trace of distress appeared in his blue eyes.

As the leader of this team, Hugo Tollet is younger than most people think.

He was still in his prime, but he had an ordinary appearance. He often slept and ate in the wild during his activities in this war-torn river, so that he looked older, like an old military leader in his thirties.

Facing the news, Hu Geshang remained calm, but his subordinates were like a frying pan that had exploded.

The current enemy immediately shattered the confidence of some people. They aroused responses from many people. Some people continued to remain silent, making it unclear what they were thinking. Others seemed quite at a loss.

The one who reacted the most was a leader named Rana. He was too passive about this and seemed to be about to break up and leave.

Hu Ge took everything in his eyes and said nothing. He just looked at the people in the tent. Under Hu Ge's gaze, everyone gradually became quiet and waited for the leader's actions.

Hu Ge did not make a decision immediately. He just motioned with his eyes to the scout who was kneeling in front of him and asked him to finish the message.

"The day before I came back, 'Fingerless' Donner and his group of men surrendered to the Lannister. However, the lion did not follow his wish - to bend the knee to save his life. On the contrary, Donner was killed with his legs straight. Hanged. When I came back, his head was on a pike, and I saw the Lannister carrying them away like a banner."

Donner, Hugo knew this person, a notorious bandit. Unlike Hugo, he was a guy with a lot of evil, and he robbed both officers and soldiers equally as well as civilians.

Some time ago, when the news was tight, he had communicated with himself and agreed to form an alliance to resist the government and army. Unexpectedly, this guy turned around and knelt down before the grass had grown.

Fortunately, the Seven Gods have eyes. This guy's head can be dropped more easily than his fingers. The villagers should have applauded when they heard the news. Thinking of this, Hu Ge couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Then again, he died at the perfect time, and there should be no more troublemakers now. After thinking about this, Hu Ge raised his head. He wanted to see if the brothers were what he thought.

Everyone present was indeed silent, and no one said those words of frustration and surrender.

The consequences of surrender are right in front of you.

However, some people must still have other thoughts, and Hu Ge has already written down their names in his heart.

"I think there will be no doubts about my decision. Everyone, even if we want to surrender, we must defeat the Lannister army in front of us and let them know that we are not easy to mess with. If we surrender to the Lannister now, I I think our heads will all be stuck on pikes like the unlucky Donner." "Yes, you are right, Boss Hugo, let's fight those Lannisters first! Let those lions know how powerful you are. .”

"Chief Farmer" Snow stood up, and the man in simple farmer's clothing said loudly. This usually silent farmer's tone was very firm, and he had complete trust in Hu Ge.

"Yes! That's how it should be! Let those nobles know that we are not easy to mess with!"

"Boss Hu Ge, we have killed quite a few nobles, including a few lions!"

And his words also aroused the response of many people. The reaction of the farmers was particularly strong. They trusted Hu Ge so much. Next, everyone expressed a strong desire to fight.

Hu Ge silently looked at the people below. Most people were afraid inside, but they were unwilling to show it in front of their companions. Some people even started planning to escape when they returned to their tents.

But Hu Ge knew that if it weren't for his reputation and reputation for miracles, even he wouldn't be able to gather these people.

"Since everyone has such a unanimous opinion, I think there is no doubt about what we should do next. Let's all go about our own business."

Hu Ge's words announced the outcome of the meeting, which was definitely war and surrender. Then everyone left the tent in small groups. The Rana called on a few small leaders to walk with him.

After the last person left, Hu Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his eyes to relieve his fatigue. The ideas of these guys have been narrowed down, but the future... is still difficult. He was sure that if he couldn't pass this level, everything would be over.

When the Usurper War just broke out, Hugo Tollet was a wandering knight in the valley. After witnessing the tragedies, this young man full of chivalry and honor stood up to protect the people, regardless of faction. Fight against all kinds of plunderers.

Speaking of which, his family, the Tolet family, is also an ancient family in Westeros and can be traced back to when the Andals first landed. However, in this world where thousands of famous families are everywhere, this is not a very prominent family background.

Hugo's father, named Ork, was a well-known valley knight, but he left nothing to his son except the spirit of chivalry.

So Hu Ge could only wander out.

Hu Ge's Luo Cao career started out quite smoothly. The knight's team quickly grew from just one person to dozens or hundreds of people. They attacked the marauders who burned the villages, wiped out the bandits and rebels, stole food from the lord's cavalry and distributed it to the people, and helped the people escape before the army arrived.

However, courage cannot change the huge gap in strength. The nobles can fail countless times, but Hu Ge can only fail once. When defeating an encirclement and suppression team, Hugo was pierced by a spear in the chest at the end of the battle. Then, perhaps the gears of fate refused to stop, or perhaps, the person who was thought to be dead woke up and a panicked The outsider woke up, and this is Hugo now.

His "resurrection" was noticed by many people at the time and caused a lot of trouble. Fortunately, a monk present explained Hu Ge's resurrection in the name of the Seven Gods, which saved him a lot of trouble.

And the new Hugo soon realized that he had come to the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire". In his previous life, he had read this book. Then after sorting out his thoughts and judging the overall situation more rationally, he sadly I found that I seemed to have no good way out except to continue to fall into the grass.

The Riverlands is a place where various forces are intertwined. Countless blood flows in the rivers every day, and then merges into the Blackwater River and flows into the sea. In the eyes of these forces, Hu Ge is the target of a bounty, and all of them are heads. A strong man who deserves to be stuck on a spear. Therefore, he could only continue his previous career.

For this new Hugo, the next few years were particularly difficult. Several times he was almost on the verge of being wiped out, and several times the team suffered heavy losses. However, due to the burning, killing and looting of the nobles, he never lacked soldiers. There were always desperate and hateful civilians joining the team. Thanks to this, Hu Ge could always pull the team back up and continue to lead the people to fight. Various armies.

During this period, it was not that he had not thought about which side to defect to in the civil war, but he had never found the right opportunity, and the risk of defecting to him rashly was too great. Hu Ge knew a sea of ​​failure cases and had vivid memories of the tragedy of his predecessors. He could I don’t want to lose my head easily.

And he has ideas about the future. He knows that he has come to the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire", so he understands that even if he survives this Usurper War, he will have to face the more cruel Five Kings in the future. War and the invasion of the White Walkers. Therefore, he already has a plan in mind, and if things go well, it may go a step further...

In the following years, Hugo traveled throughout the river and was active in Wangling and Hebend for a while. Everywhere he went, he stood on the side of the people and provided as much help as possible, fighting against the nobles' raiding teams and bandits. This gradually made his name known throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and the teams he formed grew larger and larger.

At the same time, he also managed to use his "resurrection" miracle to expand his influence. "Since everyone has seen his resurrection, let's take advantage of this reputation," he thought. In fact, the name of the Seven Gods is indeed the most useful. Hu Ge successfully coated himself with an aura of the Seven Gods' miracles, which greatly helped Hu Ge's activities; a brave knight who helped the world under the care of the Seven Gods. , which is too appealing to the people who are facing precarious situations in the flames of war.

It is precisely because of this reputation that he can now gather so many people.

But speaking of it, this reputation was established because of the efforts of the monk who explained him when he was "resurrected from the dead".

This monk believed that he was a miracle of the Seven Gods, and he was quite prestigious among the grassroots of the Church of the Seven Gods. He mobilized many grassroots monks and priests to spread his reputation. This is the most important reason why people believe in miracles: for For the people living in closed villages, the outsiders they have the most contact with are the grassroots monks and priests who wear coarse linen and linen clothes and walk around the small villages. It is this group of people they trust the most, and the sacred people in this group of people. Seven gods.

However, Hu Ge had a headache when he thought of that monk. He had provided him with a lot of help, but this man was really...

"Boss Hu Ge, the monk has arrived, and he has hundreds of people with him."

Such a sound suddenly came from outside the tent. Hu Ge was stunned for a moment. He really thought of him and he was here.

"I'll be out right now."

Hugo replied.
