The sky in the old town was covered by dozens of thick smoke, and blood and corpses covered the water under the towering tower. The old town, which was originally as beautiful as an oil painting, now seemed like the end of the world was coming.
However, the current situation is indeed the end of the world for Yin Muri.
Perhaps he knew that even if he surrendered, he would not end well. Therefore, he led the crew of the Sea Deer and fought to the end.
Due to the loopholes in the encirclement, Earl Paxter, who allowed dozens of enemy warships to escape, was very angry and ordered his own soldiers to attack with all their strength and kill all the enemies who resisted.
The later stage of this ambush battle in Old Town was a one-sided massacre, which ended quickly. The victorious side began to collect the spoils and clean up the battlefield, so as to clear the sea road in Old Town as soon as possible.
"What a great victory! Lord Paxter, I didn't expect you to fully support Renly II!
Aren't your twin sons being taken as hostages and staying in King's Landing?"
After the battle, Sir Baelor boarded the Queen of the Arbor, approached Lord Paxter, and asked.
"Hey, Renly II's Hand of the King is my cousin!"
"Just because the Queen of Thorns is your aunt? You don't care about the life or death of your twin sons?
Earl Paxter, we are also considered comrades-in-arms, we can be more honest with each other and deepen the friendship between our two families."
Ser Baile shook his head when he heard what he said, not believing it.
"Honest? Hey, I said, there is an adult who will protect their safety, do you believe it?
Then your Hightower family has always settled in Oldtown, why do you fully support Renly II this time?"
"Then I say that an adult made my father change his mind. Count Paxter, do you believe it?"
"Of course I believe it! It seems that our friendship has deepened again!"
"Yes haha!"
The two winners of the riddle had smiles on their faces at the end, but there was no smile in their eyes.
As time passed, the news that the Royal Fleet was destroyed by the combined fleets of Redwin and Hightower spread throughout the Southern Territory.
Bah, bah!
Stannis, who led nearly 40,000 troops and was stationed in the Kingswood south of King's Landing, kept throwing things in his royal tent.
"Someone is coming!"
After venting his anger, Stannis shouted loudly outside the king's tent.
Check, check, check!
When the two heavily armed guards guarding the king's tent heard the sound, they quickly ran in, bowed to Stannis and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Notify Sir Goode Morrigan and Sir Roland Storm, and ask them to each lead ten thousand people to the north of King's Landing and seal the Iron Gate, Dragon Gate, Old City Gate, and Gods Gate.
I will personally lead the troops to block the other three gates. Remind them that they only need to block the city gates, and they are not allowed to attack the city without my order."
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
The two guards heard Stannis's instructions and immediately nodded in reply.
Stannis, who only knew that his fleet was destroyed and did not know that Davos had a lucky escape, gave his order, showed a tired look on his face, and waved the two guards to retreat: "Go and inform them quickly! By the way, by the way Get someone to clean up this place."
…
Da da da!
Robb was unaware of the war taking place in the south of Westeros. He was currently passing through the King's Road and arriving at the Fortress of Moat Cailin.
However, when Robb came to Moat Cailin, he almost didn't recognize this abandoned and abandoned fortress.
Trogg is indeed a man of practical ability. When Robb went to the Iron Islands, he ordered him to lead two thousand men to defend Moat Cailin.
As a result, except for the first few days of the war, when the Frey family kept killing people, there was no fighting afterwards.
Unable to rest, Trogg divided the two thousand northern soldiers into several groups, and each group took turns to perform guard work. The other soldiers began to repair and rebuild the Carlin Bay.
The three remaining towers have been basically repaired. Among them, the tilted Drunkard Tower has been reinforced with dozens of thick tree trunks at its tilted southwest corner.
Below the tower, the wall to defend the north has also been rebuilt. Although it is only a few feet high, it is still a defensive fortification against attacks from the north.
Regardless of the old and new appearance of Carlin Bay, the repair work has been done well this time, making it ready for long-term garrisoning.
Moreover, since the Northern Territory and the Iron Islands are already allies in the united front, when Theon was carrying out the transfer of civilians in the Western Territory this time, for convenience, he built a small village at the source of the Relang River.
Where there are people, there are business opportunities.
Many traveling merchants who were temporarily stranded in the north due to this war saw the business opportunities in this transit village and moved in one after another. This small village began to become prosperous. Because of its proximity to Carlin Bay, it was directly named by everyone.
Carlin Village.
After Robb inspected the entire changed Moor of Calin, he praised Trogg without hesitation. He also told him to take good care of it and help the development of Calin Village.
Although Kalin Village cannot become a large port like White Harbor due to the limitation of the Redang River. However, it can become a convenient road from the north to the Iron Islands and then to the west.
After resting for a night at Moat Cailin, Robb set off directly for Winterfell.
He doesn't have to worry about the troops garrisoned in the Kalin Bay of Trogg at all. They have logistics troops among them, and they can make consumables such as arrows and missing arrows by themselves.
As for other military rations, Robb asked Theon to transport civilians in the West to Cailin Bay in advance. The current military ration reserves are enough to feed them for the first half of the year.
A few days later, Robb, who had been traveling all the time, returned to Winterfell, his home after many months of absence.
Winterfell, like Cailin Bay, has also undergone significant changes. Due to the immigration of a large number of civilians from the West, the winter market has more than doubled in size.
The raw materials for these new wooden houses were all cut down from the wolf woods west of Winterfell by the civilians of the West under the command of Earl Wyman.
Well, Lord Wyman was invited to Winterfell by Robb in advance.
Since Winterfell received a large amount of loot and civilians from the West, he was worried that his mother, Caitlin, would be too busy alone, so he asked Earl Wyman for help in advance.
Da da da!
When Robb rode Bloodwind and led the two thousand cavalry behind him into the winter market, there were already many civilians lined up on both sides, watching them closely. However, the meanings of these civilians' gazes were different.
The original northern civilians looked at Robb with awe and admiration. But the newly moved western civilians looked at him with fear and confusion.
When he arrived at the south gate of Winterfell, Caitlin had already brought Earl Wyman, Sansa, Rickon, Jory, Daisy and others, waiting for him quietly.
"Greetings to the King of the North and the Riverlands, the Iron Islands!"
Seeing Robb approaching, everyone except Caitlin stood and saluted, and everyone else knelt down on one knee in a very ceremonial manner and shouted in unison.
"Greetings to the King of the North and the Riverlands, the Iron Islands!"
All the commoners in the winter market knelt down to salute the nobles. How could they dare to stand? They knelt down in large numbers, and the chorus of cheers resounded throughout Winterfell.
"Everyone get up!"
Robb looked around, and then spoke in a deep voice in the direction of Catelyn. As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped off Bloodwind, walked forward, and hugged his relatives one by one.
Afterwards, after chatting with Lord Wyman and other subordinates for a while, Robb hurriedly led Bloodwind towards the kennels in Winterfell.
The kennel is located in the south of the godswood, not far from the school grounds. After a while, Robb arrived at the door of the kennel.
Um?
Robb, who has always been more careful, was about to open the door when he noticed a strange footprint on the path from the godswood to the kennel.
The second half of this footprint looks like a child's small foot, but the first half is indeed three toes, and the front ends of the toes are not round, but tapered like a dewclaw.
Maybe the child’s and animal’s footprints overlapped!
Robb shook his head, thinking strangely about the new member of the Bloodwind Wolf Pack. He opened the door to the kennel and walked in.
This kennel in Winterfell is very spacious. Winterfell once raised a large number of hounds, but later it gradually fell into disuse because there were no dog trainers.
Nymeria and Lady's wolf den was in the middle of the kennel. After Robb waited for Bloodwind to come in, he closed the door and walked towards the middle of the kennel.
Ouch!~~
As if they sensed someone approaching, in the kennel, from two individually modified wolf dens, Nymeria and Lady let out warning growls.
"Robb, be careful! I don't know why, but they have been very aggressive recently. One of the servants was careless while feeding, and one of their arms was torn off by them."
Hearing their low growls, Robb thought of what his mother Catelyn had just told him.
Very aggressive? Protecting cubs?
With Bloodwind by his side, Robb was not worried at all. He quickly stepped forward and pushed open the thick wooden door of the wolf den closest to him.
Whoosh!
As soon as the thick wooden door opened, the lady, who was obviously larger than before, rushed towards Robb without hesitation.
Peng!
Snapped!
Bloodwind's huge body rushed from the side in front of Robb at a very fast speed, directly knocking the lady away.
The lady's wolf body hit the open wooden door of the wolf's den hard, knocking down the wooden door and knocking down the other wooden door next to it.
Some dizzy lady got up from the ground and shook her huge wolf head. Behind her, a giant direwolf about the same size walked out of the wolf den with silent footsteps.
Woo, woo!
Robb initially thought that the lady might have attacked directly because she was protecting her cubs. But Nymeria came out of her wolf den alone, and when she saw Bloodwind, she actually let out a warning growl and made an attack gesture.
There is something obviously wrong with this unusual situation.
call!
Feeling the strong provocation from both of them, Xue Feng slowly exhaled a cloud of white mist from his mouth. At the same time, his whole body began to be filled with layers of white mist. As the white mist gradually covered his body, Xue Feng changed from a gray wolf to a wolf.
White wolf.
Seeing that they were really going to take action, Robb quickly walked towards the gate and gave them the space in the middle of the kennel.
As if feeling the pressure of Blood Wind, Nymeria and Lady took the lead in attacking Blood Wind. They cooperated with each other very smartly, one on the left and one on the right, and rushed towards Blood Wind at the same time.
Although Nymeria and Lady are only a little shorter than Bloodwind, their fighting prowess is not even the slightest difference.
Xue Feng stood motionless on the spot, his eyes catching their movements. It wasn't until they pounced in front of him that Xue Feng suddenly made a move.
It turned slightly to avoid Nymeria's attack on the left. At the same time, the wolf's mouth opened wide and bit towards the back of Nymeria's neck from top to bottom. At the same time, its two strong hind legs
He kicked back violently and accurately hit the right side of the attacking lady's body.
Bang, Peng!
Nymeria was bitten on the back of the neck by the big mouth of Bloodwind, and was directly pressed by its huge force, causing her four legs to stick to the ground of the kennel, forming a "big" shape.
The lady, who was accurately kicked by the bloody wind, flew out again and hit the vacant room on the right side of the kennel hard.
The places where Nymeria and Lady had physical contact with Blood Wind were covered with a layer of white mist, and there were obvious signs of frostbite.
Woo, woo!
"Okay, Bloodwind!"
When Robb saw the Blood Wind Wolf's mouth slowly closing, bright red blood flowing out from the back of Nymeria's neck, and howling in agony, he immediately stopped its movements.
At this time, the lady on the side stood up again, walked slowly to Xue Feng who was biting Nymeria, lowered her body, and sandwiched her furry wolf tail between her legs to express her submission.
When Bloodwind heard Robb's order, he slowly released his wolf's mouth. Nymeria immediately turned over, turned around, and lay on her back, exposing her belly and neck to Bloodwind.
.
This is a more direct gesture than that of a lady, expressing one's surrender and flattery.
While they were fighting, Robb kept staring at the blood pact words on Bloodwind's body and guessing in his mind.
The only thing Bloodwind has changed is its pack, probably because it underwent extraordinary transformation and became a unique direwolf, no longer the same as the extraordinary direwolf pack of Nymeria and Lady.
Therefore, they did not recognize Bloodwind's status as the king of the wolf pack and began to launch provocative attacks.
Of course, these are all Robb's own guesses, and it doesn't matter whether they are correct or not. Because Bloodwind has relied on his own strength to make them surrender to him again.
Woo, woo!
Perhaps sensing that the danger outside was gone, a dozen direwolves, the size of five-month-old puppies, ran out of the two wolf dens whose wooden doors were damaged. Most of them had gray fur and yellow eyes, and a few had black fur and green eyes.
Eye.
As soon as this group of wolf pups, who were much bigger than the original Blood Wind, came out, they circled around their mother twice. Then, while sniffing the scent of Blood Wind, they moved closer to it.
Obviously, Bloodwind treats these harmless cubs much better than his mother. He lets them crawl under him and uses his nose to smell them from time to time.
Seeing Xue Feng's growing pack of wolves, Robb felt quite happy. He took two steps forward, wanting to stroke the wolf cubs.
Unexpectedly, these brats suddenly bared their teeth at him and let out warning low sounds, just like Nymeria and the lady before adding the blood bond points.
By the way, add some!
Robb stared directly at Bloodwind and found that in the blood contract data, there was a plus sign in the blood kin option of the wolf pack.
He directly distributed the existing fifty blood contract points evenly and voted for Nymeria and the lady's wolf pups.
A large stream of red mist rose from Robb's body, first into Bloodwind, then into the bodies of Nymeria and the Lady, and finally into the bodies of the thirteen cubs.
After being weakened layer by layer, the red mist that finally poured into their bodies was only less than a quarter of its thickness.
Sure enough, as Robb expected, after adding up the blood bond points, the thirteen wolf cubs not only did not reject him, but also rushed to his side to compete for his favor.
Looking at the cute little cubs who are still cute at present, Robb seems to see in front of his eyes the heroic appearance of them galloping on the battlefield in the future!
