"Go in and check the status of the infected people inside. If there are any alive, get rid of them. Pay attention to protection and be careful of infection!"
Forcibly suppressing the mixed emotions in his heart, Clay immediately turned around and ordered the captive soldiers whose faces were mixed with fear and surprise.
"Yes, Master Clay!"
The captive soldiers nodded and answered, then walked far away from the giant ice withers in front of them and walked cautiously towards the high-risk area.
They had just seen with their own eyes how those comrades died, and they could not be too careful with this beautiful but deadly ice crystal lotus flower.
"You go and inform King Theon, Earl Rickard, Oberyn's Guards, Miss Margaery... Well, there is no need to inform Prince Oberyn and Miss Margaery yet.
Go for it!”
After the captured soldiers entered, Clay tilted his head and gave instructions to the bodyguards beside him. But after pondering for a moment, he only asked the bodyguards to inform the two more trusted nobles.
After receiving the order, the bodyguard quickly left, leaving Clay with a gloomy face behind, praying in his heart that Robb would be safe and sound.
After all, magical power has only existed in legends for hundreds of years, and under the influence of the Academy, negative images of magical power such as evil, weirdness, and out-of-control devouring the Lord have dominated the mainstream of Westeros.
Now the northern army does have an absolute advantage, but if something happens to Robb,
The newly joined Tyrell and Martell families are likely to be shaken again, and King Theon, who has difficulty controlling the forces under his command, is also hard to predict.
Perhaps, in the end, the only ones who can be loyal to the Stark family are the nobles of the North and the Riverlands.
"Hiss, Margaery Tyrell's two king husbands died mysteriously in succession. Now such an accident has happened to His Majesty. Could it be that the Tyrell family deliberately took refuge in harming His Majesty?"
As I was thinking about Clay, I even started to think about Margaery's Coffin metaphysics.
Fortunately, Theon and Earl Rickard came together soon, interrupting his random thoughts.
The three people discussed it carefully for a while and realized that this matter would definitely not be kept secret. They decided to simply publicize the birth of Robbins, the god in charge of ice, and now begin to regain his divine power.
Their thinking is that as Robb displays powerful ice magic, his nickname of Ice King has become more and more popular.
There is an outbreak of Gray Plague in Highgarden, and something unexpected happened to His Majesty Robb. Under their high-profile publicity, at least for a short time, people or forces with evil intentions will be discouraged and they will not dare to act rashly.
Then, they continued to maintain normal order in the early stage and handled the epidemic in the same way as before. At the same time, they made preparations in private.
Once something unexpected happens to His Majesty Robb, they will return to the Crake Hall with their army and all their property and resources to defend the Western Territory, the Riverlands, and the Northern Territory.
After determining the response method, Clay and others notified the Tyrell and Martell families, and sent people to secretly create public opinion in the refugee gathering place.
…
Northeast of the intersection, Valley Avenue.
Yanshan Village is located in the north of Yanchang Town. It is the last village where you can rest from the crossroads to the valley. Due to its good geographical location, the nearly 100 households in Yanshan Village live a pretty good life.
However, in times of war, misfortune may strike at any time.
"ah!
!”
Screams rang out one after another in the peaceful Yanshan Village. More than a thousand rebel deserters in tattered clothes and armed with weapons were fighting with the village warriors responsible for protecting Yanshan Village.
In fact, most of the deserters from the rebel army were thin and weak in combat ability. The village warriors in Yanshan Village could deal with several of them by themselves. But compared to the village warriors who only had a few dozen people, the rebel army deserters simply used their own numbers to swamp them.
Following the death of the village warriors, Yanshan Village suffered a bloody massacre and brutal rape.
Rest, rest, rest!
Seven or eight disheveled rebel deserters were surrounding a poor village woman. As a sound broke through the air, each of them had two or three arrows stuck in their bodies and fell heavily to the ground bleeding.
"There are enemies to the east!"
The sudden attack caused other deserters from the surrounding rebel army to shout warnings,
In Yanshan Village, other deserters who were either holding food and wolfing down their food, or holding up their pants, picked up their weapons and looked to the east of the village.
"Come on, kill them, rob them all!"
"Don't grab your ears, they're all mine!"
"Anyone who dares to steal my loot will die!"
Suddenly, a roar sounded like a quarrel. A group of thousands of strange soldiers appeared in their field of vision.
These soldiers all wore clothes made of animal skins, helmets made of animal skulls on their heads, and held old weapons.
They cursed and pushed each other while charging towards the rebel deserters. In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided with each other.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the rebel deserters at the front were unilaterally massacred without any resistance.
When the deserters from the rebel army behind saw this situation, they immediately turned around and ran away, taking their bullying style to the extreme.
Ta-ta-ta!
A burst of rapid hoofbeats came from the east, and thousands of cavalry wearing twin-tower family crest armor and black hats rushed directly towards these fleeing men.
The battle in Yanshan Village ended quickly. Most of the more than a thousand rebel deserters were killed without even being able to say anything to beg for mercy. In the end, only more than 300 people were left on their knees to surrender and survive.
Of the originally hundreds of villagers in Yanshan Village, only a few dozen survived.
After the battle, those strange soldiers either cut off the corpse's ears or looted useful items from the village.
Ta-ta-ta!
Not long after, Tyrion, who was riding a tall horse with a stern expression, led a large group of leader-like people to Salt Mountain Village. Behind them were nearly two thousand strange soldiers.
"Well, there is no family crest mark? Sir Steveron, please take over these prisoners and interrogate them carefully."
Riding his horse to the kneeling rebel soldiers, Tyrion looked around and then turned to Stevron Frey behind him and said.
"Hey, half-man. The things in this village and these prisoners are our trophies, you can't just take them away!"
Before Steve Lun could reply, a sturdy man with a murderous look on his face immediately said to him.
"Xia Ga, everything in this village belongs to you. Leave these prisoners and the villagers to me! After arriving at King's Landing, I will give you an equal number of weapons."
Looking at the leader of the Stone Crow Tribe of the Alpine Clan, Tyrion replied directly and angrily.
"Okay, we want brand new weapons, old ones don't count!"
"Hey, Xia Ga, this weapon doesn't just belong to your Stone Crow tribe, our Black Ears tribe also wants a copy."
"The same goes for the Burning Department!"
"The Lunar Department..."
After Shagga promised Tyrion, the other leaders of the mountain clans around him also expressed their desire to get a piece of the pie.
Since every mountain clan had dealt with it, Xia Ga certainly couldn't keep this non-existent weapon for himself, and then they quarreled over the topic of whoever killed more enemies would get more loot.
"My dear lord, you are in a very dangerous situation now!
If I remember correctly, you now owe all the Gaoshan clans weapons and equipment, which is enough to arm an army of three thousand men to the teeth.
If you fail to honor it by then, your body may even be eaten by them."
Listening to the habitual quarrels of the mountain clans, Bronn, a black-haired and dark-eyed man, rode up to Tyrion's side and reminded him in a very kind voice.
"Ha, thank you for your kind reminder. Haven't I been in danger for most of the year?
Hehe, don't worry! Even if I will be eaten by them, I will honor the reward I promised you before that!"
How could the clever Tyrion not understand the meaning of Bronn's words, so he spoke sincere words in a joking manner.
Indeed, during the more than half a year in the valley, Tyrion has been walking on a tightrope.
With no soldiers loyal to him, he not only has to deal with Littlefinger, but also has to deal with Steveron's constant request to help him recapture the Twins.
Finally, after discovering that Littlefinger's secret was framed by him, he used his mouth escape to conquer all the mountain clans in the Mingyue Mountains.
Even he himself doesn't know how he did all this!
When he saw from the corner of his eye dozens of village women who were naked and shivering, he continued to Bronn with a slight emotion: "Let someone give them some clothes and food, and then ask them if they want to come with us."
Going to King's Landing?"
"I see, you are so kind again, my dear lord!"
Bronn, who heard the sincerity in Tyrion's previous words, pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth and replied jokingly.
"Showing kindness again? Tsk, I think what I did in the valley was quite cruel!"
When Tyrion heard this, he made an exaggerated recall expression and spoke.
"Didn't you ask me to rescue those two old men who were about to be chopped alive by Littlefinger?"
"Well, this is not out of kindness, but according to my judgment, both of them have important value!"
"Hey, value? Oh yes, I heard that the strong old man's penis soaking wine can revive his glory in that area.
It seems that the skilled women in the valley have drained you dry!"
"Squeeze me dry? Haha, although I prefer beautiful women, I don't mind making an exception and letting you try it!"
During the quarrel between the Mountain Clan and the teasing between Tyrion and Bronn, the soldiers of the Mountain Clan quickly packed up the spoils of Salt Mountain Village.
And Steve Lun also easily obtained relevant information about recent events from the mouths of rebel deserters.
After digesting this information, Tyrion led this army of more than 4,000 people to leave Salt Mountain Village and march towards the crossroads.
Tyrion's army saw mostly ruins and corpses along the way. In the end, even the once prosperous Crossroads Inn became dilapidated and full of rotting corpses.
Later, while traveling south along the King's Road, they not only saw corpses strewn on the plain where the Bannerless Rebel Army had fought with the Union Army.
I also saw the ruins of many royal towns after being ravaged by a large number of rebel deserters who fled south.
…
King's Landing, Red Keep.
Cersei, wearing a dark green velvet low-cut dress, with thick blond hair hanging on her smooth shoulders, was walking in the corridor on the first floor of Maegor's Tower with two Lannister guards looking unhappy.
She has just returned from the palace of the Kingsguard in the White Sword Tower and is preparing to return to her own palace.
Because Lancel didn't know what was going on during this period and didn't come to discuss life with her for many days in a row, she took the initiative to check on the situation.
Who knew that the useless guy actually told her that he could no longer stand up!
After Cersei personally checked and confirmed, she ignored this waste and left the White Sword Tower.
Hmm, is it time for a change of taste?
Cersei kept walking forward with a dignified pace, but her mind kept thinking about new partners whose looks matched her aesthetics and could bring her pleasure.
There was no way, she was originally full of ambitions to manage King's Landing well as Queen Regent, but since her father returned to King's Landing, Tywin, who was extremely controlling, had all the power in his hands.
For Cersei now, only a suitable bed partner and fine wine can slightly relieve her inner depression.
Cersei and the others had just turned a corner, and James with a red mask on his face was already waiting here. He blocked Cersei's path with his body and said in a low voice: "Cersei, I want to talk to you!"
Seeing James who couldn't hide no matter how hard he tried, Cersei tilted her head to one side and said calmly: "James, if you have anything to do, go talk to your father. There's no use talking to me!"
"You know what I want to talk about! Maybe, I should listen to you and talk to my father!"
Seeing that Cersei was deliberately pretending not to understand what she was saying, Jaime frowned under his mask, and then replied with a hint.
"you……"
Of course, Cersei understood what he meant. She suddenly turned around and stared at Jaime. Then she suppressed her anger and stretched out her white palm to wave at the two Lannister guards behind her.
Upon seeing this, the two people saluted her and left quickly, leaving the space here to the siblings.
"Phew, tell me! What do you want to talk about?"
Cersei took a deep breath and tried her best to stay calm.
"I want to know what happened between us and why you are doing this to me now!"
When James heard this, he immediately burst out the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for this period of time.
"There is nothing between us! What have I done to you? Huh? My dear brother!"
Cersei looked at James who was a little excited. She calmed down and spoke in a calm tone.
Cersei's gesture seemed to make Jaime even more excited. He stepped forward and grabbed her soft left wrist and said, "How do you treat me? Do you think I don't know what happened between you and Lancel?"
I had specially taken some potion from Pycelle before and quietly let him drink it.
You went to visit him today, has he recovered?"
"Is his physical problem because of you? Ha, it's okay. Anyway, I'm going to replace this piece of trash and find a new one!"
Cersei didn't resist when Jaime grabbed her wrist. Even after hearing what he said about himself, Cersei didn't show any sign of being angry.
"Cersei, I love you!"
Listening to Cersei's words, Jaime felt that she was speaking angrily. So, he habitually expressed his love for Cersei.
Snap!
When Cersei heard these words, she who was originally calm immediately slapped James in the face with her right hand, filled with anger, and the red mask was knocked away.
"Love me? Didn't you always say you would protect me and the children? Where were you when Joe and I needed you?
At that time, I already knew in the dark cell that the pile of ashes was Xiao Qiao, but I didn't want to admit it, I didn't want to admit it!
Do you know how I spent that time? Every night when I closed my eyes, in front of my eyes was the scene of Xiao Qiao covered in flames, asking me for help!"
Cersei seemed to be completely irritated by Jaime's words expressing his love. While beating Jaime continuously, she yelled at him with tears streaming down her face.
"sorry!……"
Jaime suddenly reached out to Cersei and held him in his arms, letting her vent her anger while constantly uttering apologies.
Feeling that Cersei's mood was gradually returning to calm, James lowered his head and kissed her. But who knew, looking at James' terrifying face, Cersei turned her head directly and murmured in a low voice:
"When we were little, we were so alike that we changed clothes for a whole day, but my father couldn't tell the difference at all.
James, I did love you very much before, because you are perfect in my heart!
But now..."
Seeing Cersei's reaction and listening to the words in her mouth, James felt like something was broken in his heart. He loosened his hands and let go of Cersei.
"Ha, aren't these my dear sister and brother? What? Did you know that your brother, whom you haven't seen for a long time, is coming back, come to welcome me back in advance?"
While the two people were silently confronting each other, not knowing what to say, a familiar voice sounded from behind James.
