Robb Stark led fifteen Knights of Winterfell all the way south to hunt down Ramsay Snow.
Also traveling with him was his 18-year-old sister Arya Stark. There was such a cruel villain in the North who specialized in killing women. Arya Stark was going to study at the magic school in King's Landing. Her father was very dissatisfied.
Rest assured of her safety, I gave Robb Stark the task of escorting her south.
Greywaterwatch is already the southernmost part of the North, on the edge of the Neck. Robb led people to check the people passing by at the south exit of Greywaterwatch. Each knight held a Ramsay Snow card in his hand.
Portraits of people who come and go are checked one by one.
Meera Reed, the daughter of the lord of Greywaterwatch, and two knights from the Reed family are also preparing to join Robb's pursuit.
Robb: "We were ordered to hunt down villains. Why are you following Meera?"
Meera Reed "I happen to be going to King's Landing to visit my brother. I'll help you find someone on the way. We have three hounds."
Their parents, Eddard and Howland Reed, were the two people who survived the Battle of the Tower of Bliss. They had a life-long friendship. Robb and Meera had met each other since they were children and were very familiar with them.
Watching the three hounds she was pulling on the rope, they kept roaring at Arya Stark, who was trying to drive them away with a dagger.
Robb "Then you have to be careful. This villain is very cruel and cunning. Also, take away the hounds first. There are five little direwolf cubs in the small basket on my sister's back!"
Meera Reed asked two dog-training knights to take the hound away. She walked to Arya and lifted the cloth on the small basket. There were several furry things inside that were overlapped together. She raised her head and looked at her: "Direwolf"
?Robb, why are there direwolves south of the Wall?"
While observing the passers-by, Robb replied to Meera's words, "My father said that winter is approaching and many animals are heading south. Now there are more livestock in the north. The mother of this den of direwolves quietly settled under the wall of Winterfell.
She made a home and gave birth to a litter of wolf cubs in the cave. There were many livestock in Winterfell, so she refused to leave. The herdsmen didn't notice at first, but later they found that the number of livestock was much less. The father sent people to track down the she-wolf.
After escaping, the wolf cubs stayed behind."
Meera Reed "You guys are so big-hearted that you dare to raise direwolves! Aren't you afraid of hurting people?"
Arya took over the words first, "The Baratheon family dares to raise a two-hundred-meter-long dragon. What a fluffy direwolf! Moreover, Master Renly said that we have the talent of skinchanger in our blood. We need to raise one."
Wild beasts are helpful for developing talents. My father originally wanted to raise the female wolf together, but the female wolf escaped, leaving only a few cubs."
Robb: "We have one little wolf cub for each of our brothers and sisters, which is just enough. Among the five, there are mine and Arya's, as well as Sansa's, Jon's and Ashara's, and there are a few more in Winterfell."
Only."
The Reed family is proficient in hunting, good at using bows and arrows and domesticating hounds, and is very good at raising puppies. She took a cloth bag from her waist and handed it to Aria, "This is a small piece of dried meat. You can tear it into pieces and feed it to the little wolf."
Eat."
While a few people were talking, a carriage pulling the excrement of city residents slowly drove out of the city.
This kind of carriage is very easy to hide people. When Robb saw it, he drew out the sword on his waist and shouted "Stop them!"
The structure of the carriages for hauling goods and excrement is different. The cargo box of the carriage for hauling excrement is nailed with wooden boards, leaving only two openings at the top and bottom. The top cover is opened to pour in the excrement, and the bottom opening is made of wooden boards.
If it gets stuck, you can pull out the wooden board in the wild to release the feces and water inside.
When several civilians saw the heavily armed knights approaching, they raised their hands in fright.
"Sir, we haven't done anything bad!" The men who work in the field of excrement all cover their faces with coarse cloths. Those who can move around the city during the day with their faces covered, except for them, can only handle the remains in silence.
Sisters.
Robb and his party took the wanted notices and pulled off their masks one by one to compare them. These people were very thin, with pale faces, and they looked completely different from Ramsay Snow.
"Check the carriage!" Robb did not give up, and then ordered, jumping onto the top of the carriage cargo box.
Some of the knights lay down to check the bottom of the car, and some checked the storage compartment under the coachman's seat, but no trace of anyone was found.
Robb used his sword to lift the cover on the top of the cargo box, and inside it was filled with lumps of yellow, green, and steaming feces.
"Let them go."
There were still many carriages to check around, and Robb gave up on the dung cart.
After waiting for the manure carriage to start again, after a long time away from the gray water and looking at the city, a reed stalk swayed gently in the gap on the top of the cargo box, and Ramsay Snow in the cargo box poked his head out of the manure water, a hollow
The reed stalk reached his mouth. Ramsay used his hands to remove the feces stuck to his eyes, took out the dagger on his leg and prepared to climb out of the carriage.

The Night King has been reminiscing, recalling what other White Walkers told him many years ago.
Scenes of the White Walkers riding their own ice spiders, galloping across the snowfields of the North, fighting with different races.
The White Walkers were all scattered by the Night King. Those who were close to human settlements were ordered not to actively attack humans, but only urged humans to donate more babies.
The Night King understood a truth. Pure corpses can only rely on numbers to fight ordinary humans. To deal with magicians, they can only rely on white ghosts who also possess magic.
White Walkers are afraid of obsidian and Valyrian steel weapons, but humans can be beaten to death with a stone or a stick, and their weaknesses are even more obvious. Humans have metal armor, and White Walkers also have ice armor. Each White Walker can use magic.
The only disadvantage is that his athletic ability is relatively poor. He can only burst into powerful and agile athletic abilities in a short period of time. Afterwards, his body will be cold for a long time and his movements will be sluggish.
If there are ice spiders, it will greatly make up for the shortcomings of the White Walkers' lack of athletic ability.
The Night King walked north alone, and the other White Walkers took the corpses and dispersed to various parts of the north. The Night King used his magic to communicate with the White Walkers from a distance, and the dispersed search team gradually moved towards the far north.
Go deeper.
There are no longer any coniferous forests in the Far North, but there are many animals living here. They all have snow-white fur and are very good at hiding. A White Walker braved the wind and snow to climb a stone hillside. Risks cannot stop White Walkers.
With its sight, it can look into the distance and find the way to the north.
After identifying the direction, it was about to move when it found that its right foot was stuck to something. It scratched the ground with its ice spear. The place where its right foot stepped was not a rock at all, and the place it scratched was not a rock at all.
It is the ground made of spider silk. The gray and black color on the surface is camouflage. This is the web used by spiders to catch food.
The Night King also watched here through a magical connection and found a spider web. Even if he could not find a living ice spider, he could resurrect the corpse as a mount. Before long, all the White Walkers began to gather in the direction of the Night King.
