With a sad face and bloody wind, Robb walked on the devastated ruins of Winterfell, which made people feel extremely heavy.
All the buildings in my memory turned into charred black piles of rocks shaped like melted candles.
Many corpses with only the appearance of charred skeletons still maintain various postures such as running for their lives, raising their hands to stop, cuddling with each other, etc.
Robb seemed to be able to see them running around with frightened faces on the day when the dragon burned the city, and heard the screams and wails filled with despair.
Finally, using the north gate of Winterfell as a reference, Robb came to the front of the tomb that had changed beyond recognition.
"The entrance is roughly here, let's dig down!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Following Robb, the soldiers holding shovels and other tools nodded in reply and began to dig up the scorched earth.
Winterfell is gone now, and Robb took this opportunity to settle all the members of the Stark family who have become the royal family in King's Landing.
But unless all the corpses in the tombs are moved to King's Landing, he believes that his mother Catelyn will never be able to stay in King's Landing with peace of mind.
When all the wars subside, Robb will definitely send people to rebuild Winterfell. However, he will make a decision at that time who will garrison the bitter cold north.
Ta-ta-ta!
It didn't take long for the soldiers to dig open the door of the tomb that was covered by scorched earth. Just as Robb was about to follow them into it, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him.
"Your Majesty, the reconnaissance cavalry are back, and the ghoul army has retreated to the Great Wall.
The Great Wall Castle from the Shadow Tower to Eastwatch by the Sea was all destroyed, and they didn't see a single living person!"
Sam, who was walking in a hurry, approached Robb and immediately told him the information the scout cavalry had discovered.
It is already more than half a month after the battle in Houguan Town.
In order to prevent the wight army from coming back, Robb has been escorting Sam and other Great Wall defenders, as well as the Mole Village refugees and Earl Wyman's men before joining them and heading to Winterfell.
The process of these thousands of people going south was quite difficult, because starting from Last Hearth, the towns they passed through could not find enough food and grass.
After learning from Count Wyman that Daenerys's army of two thousand grain transporters was ahead, he rode Bloodwind and went with only a few hundred cavalry to grab grain.
Facing the fighting power of Bloodwind and Robb, Daenerys's two thousand food transport army had no ability to resist. After hundreds of people were killed and wounded, the remaining more than a thousand people knelt down and surrendered.
Thanks to the red mist obtained in this battle, Xue Feng's two hind legs that were injured by the ice crystal javelin recovered again.
After obtaining enough food and grass, these thousands of people successfully arrived at the burned-out Winterfell.
"It seems that Mance Rayder's tens of thousands of free people have also joined the army of zombies!
Burn Winterfell, destroy the Wall, damn Daenerys Targaryen!
The distance from Dorne to the North is too far, and our army doesn't know if it has returned to King's Landing now.
I can't wait any longer!
Since the ghoul army will not go south for the time being, Sam, you will be responsible for the excavation work here and the thousands of people outside the city. Bloodwind and I will go to White Harbor now!
If everything goes well, I will come back in a few days with the heads of Daenerys and the dragon to pay homage to the many souls of Winterfell who died tragically!"
After hearing Sam's report, Robb, who was sure that there was no threat from the zombie army for the time being, spoke to him after thinking for a moment.
"As ordered, Your Majesty, please pay attention to your safety!"
Sam never said a word nonsense about Robb's orders.
As soon as Sam finished speaking, a pair of wings sprouted from the back of Bloodwind beside him. After Robb climbed on top of its head, it fluttered into the sky.
In fact, in the war between Robb and Daenerys, Tyrion's original strategy of dividing the troops was theoretically correct.
Daenerys' army, aided by dragons on both sides, is indeed capable of fighting on two fronts.
Just looking at the current marching time of the Seven Kingdoms from Dorne to the North, one can imagine that,
If Bloodwind had not been transformed through the Golden Finger of the Blood Pact and the Devouring Dragon had evolved the ability to fly, Robb would be in the embarrassing situation he is now facing.
Therefore, in the words of Robb's previous life, this wave of destiny is mine!
…
Blah, blah!
On the Narrow Sea, the Braavos merchant ship aboard Sam, Sandor and others has passed Widow's Hope. It will take more than ten days to reach King's Landing.
well!
A night watchman wearing a black hood leaned against the port side of the stern. He looked at the blue water and sighed softly.
"Lord Baelish, we are far and safe from those terrifying wights.
Why do you still look worried?"
The young crew member who was doing cleaning work with a rag nearby heard the sound and asked with a smile on his face.
Littlefinger turned to look at the ordinary-looking boy, shook his head, and replied in his own magnetic voice: "We are only temporarily away from them, so we can't say we are safe.
You only see them from a distance on the ship and don't know how terrifying they are. There is no safe place in Westeros now!
Maybe we should cross the Narrow Sea and go to Essos!"
When Daenerys rode Drogon to destroy the Great Wall, Littlefinger, who reacted quickly, narrowly avoided the area where the Great Wall collapsed.
However, although he successfully escaped by leaping at the last moment, his head hit the ground hard and he passed out.
When he woke up again, he watched the battle between the Great Wall defenders and the zombie army live from the gap in the collapse of the Great Wall.
When Daenerys was driving Drogon and was attacked by the Night King to escape, Littlefinger, who had an intuitive understanding of the power of the wight army, turned around and fled east along the Great Wall.
Along the way, he did not spread the news about the collapse of the Great Wall. Instead, he obtained food and temporary resting places from various Great Wall castles by lying about being ordered to East Seawatch.
In the end, after walking on the Great Wall, he arrived at Eastwatch just one day ahead of Sam and others.
Later, with Littlefinger's eloquent communication, Captain Carter believed that he had a mission to go to King's Landing and arranged for him to set off on the Braavos merchant ship the next day.
The reason why Littlefinger said to go to Essos was not only because of the threat of the wight army in Westeros.
Also because he had betrayed Robb Stark, but Daenerys, who was as crazy as the Mad King, did not take him seriously.
No matter which side wins the final victory and rules the entire Westeros, it is not good news for him.
"Hey! Did Lord Baelish have a head-on battle with those terrifying wights?
I heard people say they can use magic. Also, do they have any vital points? Are they very powerful in combat?
Please tell me!"
Upon hearing Littlefinger's answer, the young crew member immediately stopped what he was doing, walked up to him with a rag in his hands with a curious face, and begged him to tell the story of the ghouls.
"Haha, Tommen, where did you hear this? If the wights knew magic, no one would be able to escape the North alive."
Littlefinger has become very familiar with this young sailor who has the same name as Tommen I. When he heard what Tommen said, he first answered with a smile, and then continued,
"The ghouls' critical point is their heads, but Valyrian steel weapons, dragonglass weapons, and fire can all cause fatal damage to them.
As for their specific combat power, I haven’t had any actual contact with this, so I don’t know!”
"Oh, that is to say, when the ghoul army attacked Castle Black, you fled without a fight and betrayed the Night's Watch.
Just like...you once betrayed my father!"
After hearing Littlefinger's answer, the expression on young Tommen's face gradually darkened, and he faintly said an incomprehensible word.
When Littlefinger heard Tommen's previous words, the smile on his face had disappeared. When Tommen finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat.
The body is tense and still.
Blah, blah!
There was no one else at the stern of the ship, which was piled with wooden boxes of cargo and supplies. Littlefinger and Tommen stood eerily still amidst the sound of the waves.
After thinking for a long time, Littlefinger didn't know which enemy's son this boy named Tommen was.
However, looking at the boy who was much shorter than him, even though he was not good at fighting, Littlefinger did not think that he would lose.
After all, he had the courage to duel with Eddard Stark's brother, Brandon Stark.
Therefore, he chose to take action first!
call!
Because the distance between the two was too close, the smart little finger did not choose to draw the sword from his waist. Instead, he directly waved his right fist and hit Tommen on the head.
The young man named Tommen was very agile and confident. When Littlefinger's right fist came close to his head, he bent down to avoid it.
Then, the right hand holding the rag went from bottom to top like a poisonous snake, heading straight for the throat of the little finger.
Due to his extremely fast movement, the rag on Tommen's right hand fell off with the wind, revealing a dagger hidden in it with a cold light.
Bah!
The sharp dagger instantly pierced Little Finger's throat, and bright red blood immediately splattered everywhere.
Kick Kick Kick!
The injured little finger suddenly fell backward on the port side, and his hands were weak in grabbing Tommen's right hand holding the dagger.
Littlefinger opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out at all, and he just kept choking out blood from his mouth.
"I know what you want to ask, I... am Arya Stark!"
Looking at his little finger that was constantly choking blood, Tommen opened his human skin mask with his left hand and replied calmly.
Seeing Arya's familiar face under the mask, the confusion in Littlefinger's eyes immediately disappeared. At least, he knew the reason why the other party killed him before he died.
"I wanted to trick you again, but after passing Biting Bay, we are out of the scope of the northern border.
Therefore, it is better for you to die in the north!
Petyr Baelish, your winter has come!"
In Arya's unhurried and unusually calm tone, the little finger that breathed a sigh of relief gradually stopped breathing.
After she finished speaking, she pulled out the dagger from Little Finger's throat, raised her hand and lifted his body into the blue sea.
Why did Arya turn into young Tommen and appear on this Braavos merchant ship?
This also starts with the high-profile aid of the Mystic City of Braavos fleet to Daenerys.
I don’t know what the mentality of King Miho was. At that time, the whole Braavos was talking about the news that he assisted the Dragon Queen in attacking Westeros.
After several months of living as a blind beggar, Arya, who had passed Jaqen's blind trial, immediately found Jaqen after learning the news, saying that she would return to Westeros to help her brother.
Jaqen did not refuse, but just asked her to perform one last mission.
Just like in her previous life, Arya, whose conscience was still intact, saw that the actress in the troupe was not a bad person and gave up her assassination plan.
And her senior sister Wai Er arrived as scheduled, and the two started a fierce fight.
Compared to her previous life, Arya has received longer training, and she also has the firm belief to avenge her father and reunite with other family members.
In the end, Arya killed the Waif and gained the qualification to leave the House of Black and White.
As for Tommen, he also wanted to return to Westeros with Arya. But for some unknown reason, Jaqen was unwilling to let Tommen even take a step outside the gate of the House of Black and White.
In desperation, Arya repeatedly promised Tommen that she would come back to pick him up, and then embarked on a journey back to Westeros alone.
In the process of collecting relevant information about herself, she met Tommen, a young man who was bullied to death.
After Arya avenged him, she used his human skin mask to build the merchant ship that she originally wanted to trade with the free people in the North to make huge profits.
However, this merchant ship was very unlucky. As soon as it crossed the narrow sea, it ran into the Night's Watch fleet and was thought to have been captured.
Later, when Arya was silently gathering intelligence and planning to return to Winterfell, she encountered a battle between the wight army and the free people.
At this time, through the words of the Night Watch, she learned that Winterfell was burned down by Daenerys riding a dragon.
Even more fortunately, she discovered something she could never forget in her dreams, the little finger who betrayed her father on the ship.
Back to business!
Watching Littlefinger's body splash and disappear without a trace, Arya put on the human skin mask again and transformed into young Tommen, using rags and other cleaning tools to clean up all the blood stains.
After doing these things, Arya left the stern of the ship calmly.
She observed her surroundings before taking action and was very confident that her assassination of Littlefinger would not be exposed.
Maybe someone will discover that Night Watchman Baelish is missing in two days and speculate that he committed suicide or was murdered. However, who would suspect that his death is related to a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old!
However, what happened next was beyond Arya's expectation. No one cared about Littlefinger's disappearance because they encountered an Ironborn fleet flying the squid flag.
Facing the Ironborn fleet that had blocked the entire Bite Bay, the Braavos merchant ship had no time to turn around before it was surrounded by the extremely fast Ironborn longships.
In the face of such a large number of enemies, not even a fierce man like Sandor dared to act rashly, especially the dozen or so night watchmen on the ship.
Afterwards, the Ironmen who boarded the merchant ship did not directly start looting, but instead steered the merchant ship towards White Harbor.
As a cleaning staff, Arya was just a teenager with no threat in the eyes of the Ironborn, so she took this opportunity to overhear a lot of information from the complaining Ironborn.
The reason why the Ironborn fleet blocked the Bite Bay and plundered ships was because the Secret City fleet in Braavos had already returned.
However, the number of Ironborn fleets that have experienced successive battles is no longer enough to carry Daenerys's army and supplies in the north.
Robbery of merchant ships was the ironborn's specialty, and their complaints did not originate from this.
Instead, Queen Daenerys issued a special order that the Iron Fleet must not abuse or harm innocent lives when requisitioning ships.
Therefore, Euron's ironmen could only forcibly endure all kinds of desires during this period, and transported people and ships to White Harbor every time.
Ironmen will naturally have a lot of negative emotions when they are at sea for a long time, and the outburst during robbery can be regarded as a special adjustment method.
Now that Daenerys has forcibly banned it, there will be no complaints.
However, there was Drogon, a dragon larger than an Ironborn longship, hovering around White Harbor. No Ironborn dared to show it directly.
When he heard that he would be sent to White Harbor, where Daenerys Targaryen, who rode a dragon and burned Winterfell, was also there.
Arya's eyes flashed with a fiery light. She had just assassinated a murderer who betrayed her father and indirectly caused his death.
Soon there will be another murderer who burned down Winterfell!
