Viserys, the second fugitive prince of the former Targaryen dynasty and the offspring of the evil dragon that Robert hated the most, was having his coming-of-age ceremony.
A living adult male Targaryen heir is enough to pose a huge challenge to the Baratheon dynasty. Even if he has nothing, Robert wants to find a killer to kill him.
However, now the heir to the Targaryen family does not have everything.
Viserys has a large army and a vast territory. He has a territory comparable to the two dukes in Westeros except for the North. He has a huge population base, two main cities, and the extremely wealthy Pentos.
The Iron Throne is watching.
The pressure he exerted has almost spread across the Seven Kingdoms through the Narrow Sea, and almost everyone knows that a war will break out between the new king and the old king sooner or later.
In fact, the Baratheon Dynasty is not very popular among the people. The reason why it is still able to maintain its position is mainly because many nobles of the Seven Kingdoms had offended the Targaryen family to death, and there was no room for turning back.
The four major families of Wolf, Deer, Fish, and Eagle account for half of the Seven Kingdoms. These people are the main force of the rebellion and are naturally unforgivable.
There were also many families who fell in love with the news and even stabbed Targaryen in the back. The representative among them was the Lannister family.
A lot of unpleasantness happened later.
If Viserys one day conquers the Narrow Sea and regains the Iron Throne, the Lannister family will inevitably not escape liquidation.
At that time, they can figure out where to get on the boat and escape.
but.
Now Robert Baratheon has no time to pay attention to the intelligence across the Narrow Sea.
He was currently facing the chaos in front of him and was a little worried.
The situation in the North is actually a bit special, mainly due to the vast territory and sparsely populated areas.
The northern territory is vast, almost equal to the combined area of the other six kingdoms. However, despite its vast territory, the northern territory is extremely sparsely populated and cannot compare to the wealthy south.
The northern territory is filled with vast expanses of wasteland, forests and snow-capped mountains.
This kind of vast and sparsely populated terrain is very suitable for the savages' shoot-and-run tactics.
Moreover, the savages are extremely capable of surviving in the wild. Once they burrow into the mountains or forests, they cannot be found by regular troops. If they pursue them deeply, they will easily be ambushed.
And now they don't have enough soldiers on hand.
Most of them were killed when the Great Wall collapsed, and others were killed by savages in the chaos that night.
If the soldiers cannot find the general, they will not find the soldiers.
After all, who would have thought that such a huge Great Wall would suddenly collapse.
Two commanders, Robert and Eddard Stark, were in Mole Village that night. Robert was very drunk and was having fun with his arms around an equally naked woman.
Lord Ed, on the other hand, traveled all night and night to find their unreliable king.
However, at this time, they suddenly received the news that the Great Wall collapsed, and both of them looked at each other in shock.
Then Robert woke up and hurriedly followed Eddard and fled back to Winterfell, picking up the defeated soldiers along the way.
However, people are not always unlucky.
Boys who love to laugh will not have bad luck. A big boy like Robert who loves to laugh has always had good luck.
Robert once escaped Jon Connington's pursuit by getting under a woman's skirt.
But this time, they discovered the location of Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall.
Stannis did not die on the night when the Wall collapsed, but he was definitely frightened.
His bald head was hit with a stone and his head was bleeding. Then he fought his way out of Castle Black under the desperate protection of his guards.
Then Stannis did not return to Winterfell, but led his guards around in the forest.
They panicked and fled into the dense forest, unable to find their way back.
But at this moment.
Stannis led a few remaining guards to discover the suspected traces of Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall.
Mance Rayder seemed to be hiding in this dense forest, secretly directing the wildlings to cause destruction. Upon discovering this, Stannis left quietly, and then spent a long time finding his way back.
However, Stannis still did not return to Winterfell at this time. Instead, he was brave and led his guards to continue wandering to gather some soldiers who had escaped from the Battle of Castle Black.
Then he led these defeated soldiers and fought back to the dense forest.
The Duke of Dragonstone still had a bandage on his head, his whole body was already in tatters, and he still exuded a strong rancid odor.
Yet he is as stubborn as a stone.
Stannis drew his sword, bravely led the soldiers to charge into the battle, and went to the front to kill them himself.
He broke into this tribe of savages hiding in the dense forest, and after a fierce battle, he personally captured the King Beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder, alive.
Mance Rayder had just been captured. He was very calm at first and wanted to conceal his identity, but was exposed by a slip of the tongue by another simple-minded subordinate.
Mance Rayder is actually really unlucky.
The plan he proposed to break it into parts and carry out destruction everywhere involved the regular army being exhausted. In order to reduce the target and prevent the armies of the seven countries from targeting him, he only left more than 300 savages by his side.
However, Mance Rayder never expected that hundreds of thousands of wildlings would be running around the Northern Territory, and even the nimble ones would be on the verge of escaping from the Northern Territory and entering the Riverlands.
But unluckily enough, he was spotted by Stannis and caught.
Stannis doesn't actually know Mance Rayder, King Beyond the Wall.
He was lying in the snowdrift at that time, and only through some clues and calm inference, he guessed that this might be the foothold of the King Beyond the Wall.
And if you don't kill these people, you won't suffer any loss, which can be regarded as reversing the losses of defeat.
So Stannis ran out to gather some of the defeated soldiers, and then boldly came back to kill them again.
After a fierce fight between the two sides in the dense forest, Stannis only had a dozen soldiers left.
Although the savages resisted very tenaciously, they were still captured alive.
Mance Rayder saw that the battle was not going well and couldn't run away, so he surrendered very quickly. He also disguised himself very well when he was captured.
He pretended to be an ordinary savage tribe leader, and even offered to surrender to the regular army to help them encircle and suppress other savages.
And Stannis was initially deceived by Mance Rayder's exquisite acting skills.
He also thought that he had not caught the real King Beyond the Wall, and felt slightly disappointed.
However, since we did not capture the King Beyond the Wall, we did not suffer any loss if we captured a 'Leader' instead.
