Game of Thrones: Attack of the Northern Wolf Chapter 173: Purge
"What? Your Majesty, are you going to kill Teresa?"
Zanma, whose left leg had been treated by a team of nurses and was now bandaged, was woken up early in the morning by Robb, who had dark circles under his eyes. As a result, she was frightened by the first words he spoke.
"I'm just talking about hypotheticals! If I kill her, will the blessing disappear?
Please think clearly before answering me, I want to hear the truth!"
Because there was a recurring image of Teresa in his mind, Robb didn't sleep well last night, so he came to the cell very directly this morning to ask about Zama.
"Well, when I was studying love songs, I did see cases where one party died unexpectedly after keeping the blessing.
But their situations are all different. Some people can slowly forget it, while some people miss it even more because of it. There are even some people who can't resist missing and commit suicide!
Your Majesty, why are you unwilling to marry Theresa? I read her information before departure, and she is still a very clean girl!"
Zanma glanced at Xue Feng, who was staring at her next to Robb, and answered his question truthfully. Finally, she also raised her own doubts.
"Knowing that Teresa is a bait, how could I possibly eat it according to your plan?"
"However, now you know our plan. Moreover, Volantis and the Temple of the Moonsinger do not pose any threat to you in Westeros.
If you want the blessing to disappear, this is the simplest and most effective way!"
Hearing Zanma's words, Robb was stunned on the spot, and then felt like he suddenly woke up.
That's right! It was too complicated to think about before, but now my power in all aspects has far exceeded that of the original owner.
Moreover, the plans of the Tiger Party and the Moonsinger Temple were also revealed to me. Now that I have taken the bait, they cannot pose any direct threat!
"Yes, thank you for your suggestion. I will arrange a ship back to Braavos for you as soon as possible."
Robb, who had been troubled by the love blessing last night, hurriedly thanked Zanma after thinking about it, and immediately rushed out of the inner castle cell.
"Well, going to have a love union early in the morning? This king is as impulsive as us Jorgesnay men!"
Seeing Robb running out in a hurry, Zanma couldn't help but sigh.
"Vell, go and tell Clay quickly that I will wait for him at the gate of the inner castle and ask him to choose a few maids from the inner castle to follow me."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Robb's rare anxious look, Will thought he had obtained some important information from Zanma, so he ran to Clay's room in the inner castle.
After Clay heard the sound and opened the door, Will breathlessly told him Robb's order. Well, he also added his own thoughts just now.
Without letting Robb wait too long, Clay and Will came to the gate of the inner castle with a few well-behaved maids. Behind them, there were hundreds of heavily armed elite northern warriors.
Seeing Clay with so many people, Robb thought he still had something to do, so he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he only needed those maids to help him clean up the mess.
So, Robb led such a large group of people and more than a dozen terrifying giant wolves towards the residence where the Silent Sisters and the Nurse Corps were staying.
Their resettlement house was a large, unoccupied house. It was said to have been left behind by a wealthy businessman who fled to King's Landing when the war in the West began.
After entering the big house, Robb immediately saw many stretchers placed in the courtyard. Theresa and other nurses were checking and changing dressings on them.
Since the northern soldiers have their own field medical personnel for treatment, the wounded here are all the wounded from Brand City who survived yesterday's treatment. The bodies that were not saved have long been cremated by the northern soldiers.
"Theresa, I have something to tell you!"
He immediately found Theresa, who stood out in his eyes, and Robb walked up to her and spoke to her.
"Your Majesty, please speak directly!"
I don’t know if Teresa’s mental state was not good because she was too busy with the rescue work yesterday.
She glanced back at Robb, but did not stop what she was doing.
Seeing that Teresa was ignoring him, Robb, who was already troubled by the blessing, felt inexplicably angry and shouted towards Clay behind him: "Clay, except her, get everyone else out of here!"
"yes!"
Clay heard Robb's order and waved behind him, and hundreds of heavily armed northern soldiers poured into the courtyard. All the silent sisters, nurses, and wounded were cleared out.
Write a book
"What are you going to do?"
"He's seriously injured, don't touch him!"
“How rude!”
It seems that because Robb didn't do anything to them yesterday, these nurses started to make a fuss when they saw the northern soldiers taking action.
Ouch!
Robb, who had been agitated for the past two days, heard the noise and immediately let out a loud wolf howl from Xue Feng beside him.
The courtyard fell silent instantly, and Robb said to the nurses in a very cold tone: "You either shut up, or you turn into a corpse and shut up again."
"Your Majesty, please ask them to stop this rude behavior, I will listen to you carefully!"
Theresa saw a hint of anger on her always indifferent face when she saw the wounded who were still being cleared out of the courtyard.
Robb originally thought he fell in love with Teresa at first sight, but after realizing that he was being plotted, he just wanted to solve this troublesome love blessing.
But after doing this, although Theresa was still very beautiful and perfect in Robb's eyes, the vague love he had for her was completely consumed.
"Wil, no one is allowed to enter here until I come out!"
After giving instructions to Will, Robb directly grabbed Teresa's hand and pulled her into the big house. After Robb and the others entered, Bloodwind lazily guarded the closed door.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
How could Theresa's strength be compared to Robb's? After entering the house and being released by Robb, she immediately asked with anger on her face.
"If I guessed correctly, you must have been thinking about me last night!"
"Miss you? How, how is it possible!"
Hearing Robb's sudden words, Teresa instantly changed from angry to shy.
"Both of us have been plotted..."
Without making too many detours, Robb told Teresa everything he could. Finally, he revealed the purpose of his trip.
"After we lift the blessing, you can put forward your own conditions. As long as I can achieve it and it is reasonable, I will satisfy it."
"Haha, Your Majesty, there is no need for you to make up such a ridiculous lie. Although I have never shown it, you have been in my mind for the past two days.
I thought I fell in love with you, but it turned out that it was my noble grandfather who asked the Juggsnai to bless us.
Your Majesty, I will cooperate with you to remove the blessing, because I don’t want it to interfere with my thinking anymore.
I have no conditions, I just hope you can let us leave Brand City freely!"
When Theresa heard this, the shyness on her face slowly returned to its original indifference. The reason why she wanted to leave Volantis was because she longed for freedom and did not want to be bound by the family.
As a result, she found that she was still treated as a pawn of the family, and now even her thoughts were controlled by her grandfather who was far away across the ocean.
Card!
Hearing Theresa's cooperation, Robb had no hesitation.
However, Teresa was relatively clean in Volantis before, and Robb's body enhanced by the red mist was not something she could easily bear.
Houses in Westeros are generally not very soundproof, and some sounds inside the house are faintly transmitted to the ears of people outside.
The little nurses all had sad faces, and they seemed to have felt the same. But Will, the Wolf Guards, and the soldiers from the north remained calm and followed the orders indifferently.
Only Clay kept chuckling "hehe", and he also took out the pen and paper he carried with him. He was murmuring to himself while recording.
"First, His Majesty's orientation is normal, and there is no need to worry about the heirs.
Second, His Majesty likes to use different methods. No wonder, when he was on the Silk Street in King's Landing, he invited Your Majesty to relax but was rejected.
Third, His Majesty seems to prefer crowded and lively scenes.
Well, I'm not sure about the third point. I have to find an opportunity to ask His Majesty. No, His Majesty might be embarrassed if I ask directly, so I still have to figure out His Majesty's preferences by myself..."
Clay, who likes to jump repeatedly on the edge of death, recorded for more than an hour outside the house.
Squeak!
As the door of the house opened, Robb, feeling refreshed and clear-minded, walked out dressed neatly.
This troublesome love blessing curse was finally cleared by him!
"Clay, let the maids go in and clean up Theresa, and then ask her to move to the inner castle in the next few days."
"yes!"
Watching the maids who had been waiting for a long time enter the house, Robb finally stopped thinking of Teresa and walked towards the inner castle.
ah!
However, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, the group of nurses outside all folded their hands around their chests and hid away from Robb.
"???"
Looking at their actions, Robb turned around and looked at Clay, who had a smirk on his face. Then he realized that they seemed to have misunderstood his friendly exchange with Teresa!
After getting rid of the Blessing of Love, Robb's mind regained clarity. After returning to the inner castle, he summoned the masters from Brand City who had mining skills that Clay had hired.
Let’s study together how to improve the mining technology, dig deeper gold mines, and how to reduce mining costs so that the Western Gold Mine can maintain its previous mining value.
The next day, Robb, who had some ideas, was drawing something on paper, and Clay hurriedly came to see him.
He brought Robb the information about Joffrey's death and Tommen's coronation. Moreover, the information reported by the northern spies lurking in King's Landing recorded that Tywin and Olenna had several long-term relationships. exchange of information.
Moreover, during Tommen's coronation, some members of the Tyrell family went to the black market to purchase information about the North.
Joffrey died of illness? The current situation is completely different from the plot I am familiar with!
It seems that Melisandre's curse has begun to take effect. Besides me, who else has she cursed?
However, it is no longer important! The key now is whether the Tyrell family has been successfully won over by Tywin!
Robb digested the information about King's Landing a little, and he said to Clay: "Clay, the situation in King's Landing is unclear now. I'm a little worried about the alliance between the Lannister family and the Tyrell family.
We must occupy the entire Western Territory as soon as possible and eliminate all resisting enemies. In this case, we only need to defend Lannisport, Golden Tooth City, Deep Cave City and Crake Hall!"
"Your Majesty is wise. Today we also received a letter from King Xion. He has occupied the southern castles in the Western Region such as Crake Hall, Corn City, and Silver Mountain City.
So, in fact, there are not many castles left!"
Upon hearing this, Clay opened his mouth to answer and handed another raven letter to Robb.
"Hey, in this war with the Western Region, Xion's troops are surprisingly reliable!"
After Robb read the raven letter, he smiled and praised, and then issued an order to Clay,
"Clay, your previous command of the attack on Brand City has proven your ability to lead the army.
I decided to start accelerating the pace of occupying the Western Territory, and we divided our forces in Branded City. You take six thousand infantry troops to capture Crag City and Fortress, as well as all the gold mines near them.
And I took eight thousand cavalry troops to capture Casterly Rock and Lannisport again. If everything goes well, I will also capture the nearby Fire Feast City."
"Yes! I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"
Seeing that Robb had entrusted him with an important task, Clay immediately expressed his stance seriously.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
Following Robb's decision to divide his forces, Brand's northern troops became busy. Hundreds of former prisoners of Brand were dispersed and organized into Clay's infantry.
Hundreds of lightly injured northern soldiers were left in Brand City to protect Teresa, the Nurse Corps, and the Silent Sisters who stayed in Brand City.
On the third day, Robb, Little Jon, Gendry and others led 8,000 northern cavalry from Brand City and headed straight for Casterly Rock City. Clay led 6,000 northern infantry troops towards Casterly Rock City.
.
Teresa stood on the high platform of the castle in Brand City, looking at the northern cavalry troops that were gradually retreating, her eyes filled with calmness.
Maybe it's because the two of them were not deeply affected by the blessing of love in this life. After the blessing was lifted, they didn't have the feeling of falling in love with each other or being reluctant to leave.
It’s as if he is just a passer-by in the other person’s life!
Clay's troops attacked Cliff City very smoothly. There were not as many defenders in Cliff City as Branded City. It was difficult for only a few hundred soldiers to resist Clay's troops that were more than ten times larger.
Clay still used conventional siege tactics, climbing the walls via siege ladders and hitting the city gates with battering rams.
Due to the strategic location of Cliff City, the northern soldiers repeatedly failed to climb the city wall, but the battering ram successfully broke open the opponent's city gate.
After losing the defense of the city gate, the northern soldiers who swarmed into the city quickly occupied Cliff City, and the direwolf flag representing the northern army was planted on the top of Cliff City.
Robb's troops, who were preparing to attack Casterly Rock, were one day away from their target when they were ambushed by the Western troops led by Davon Lannister.
