A long-simmering dissatisfaction in distant Pentos nearly simmered into rebellion.
However, because the news was leaked, the Tattered Prince could not figure out how much information the enemy had about him, and he was also worried about alerting the enemy, so he was forced to postpone it indefinitely.
The Tattered Prince made an excuse to escape from Pentos after Hunter's death, but he did not flee too far away, but hid outside the city.
He claimed that he was tired of life in the palace recently and wanted to live in a manor outside the city for a while to relax.
It was this careful decision-making that saved his life, otherwise Jon Connington would have almost sent troops to capture him.
At that time, unless the Tattered Prince jumped into the sea, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Targaryen soldiers even if he went to the sky or the earth.
After his agent died, Ramsay naturally investigated the prince's palace as expected.
The chief steward of the prince's palace was actually the person he bribed.
It's just that the Tattered Prince is experienced and did the finishing work very well. Ramsay didn't find out anything from this investigation. He just knew that the Tattered Prince seemed to have invited a mysterious person to the palace for a secret discussion.
After all, before he has concrete evidence, he can only investigate the other party secretly because of his special identity, and cannot directly knock on the door to hold him accountable.
Hunter's body was cremated shortly after his death, and everything in his room was cleared away, leaving no clues.
Ramsay couldn't even find the body, so it could only be attributed to Hunter being exposed and killed by the Tattered Prince.
But based on the most malicious speculation, Hunter must have discovered some secret about the Tattered Prince before he died, otherwise the other party would not kill him and silence him.
The Tattered Prince's subsequent panicked escape from Pentos further confirmed his point of view.
Ramsay could almost tell intuitively that there must be something wrong with the other party.
He fled outside the city of Pentos because he was afraid of exposing something and ran away, but Ramsay couldn't find any evidence.
He also has no law enforcement power in his hands, and there is no way to directly take action against Prince Raggedy, who is a nominal official in the border area.
Therefore, Ramsay found his old boss Jon Connington and wanted the Minister of Justice to dispatch three thousand city guards of Pentos out of the city to capture the Tattered Prince.
However, Jon is not an impulsive person, he is thoughtful and mature.
He listened to Ramsay's speculation and thought it was possible, but he also knew that although the Tattered Prince had no power, he was not prone to action, especially without evidence.
Jon promised Ramsay that if the Tattered Prince wanted to escape, he would immediately send troops to capture him.
And if the Tattered Prince is just hiding in the manor outside the city and there is no movement, then there is no way to touch him for the time being.
There was a little turmoil in the skies above Pentos after Viserys left, but it didn't cause too much trouble.
And in the distant Great Wall of Despair.
Robert organized a coalition of the seven kingdoms. Except for the Iron Islands, which did not send anyone, all the great nobles sent troops and gathered more than 60,000 soldiers to prepare to resist the invasion of the White Walkers.
Now the savage rebellion has been quelled, at least it is not as rampant as it was a few months ago.
Robert even heard not long ago that a group of wildlings had attacked King's Landing in a suicidal manner, but it was a pity that their actions were suppressed without even causing a splash.
"The rebellion of the savages is just a disease of scabies."
Robert Baratheon, the fat King of the Seven Kingdoms, sat on the throne of Winterfell.
The owner here instead sat next to him and became a foil. However, Ed Stark had an upright mind and had no complaints.
"Winter has arrived."
"In the final analysis, the biggest threat is the White Walkers, Your Majesty."
Eddard Stark spoke in a heavy voice.
"What happened recently..."
The Great Wall collapsed, savages poured into the Seven Kingdoms, and the knights of the Seven Kingdoms could more easily patrol outside the wall.
Not long ago, when a group of knights from the valley were patrolling the Fist of the First Men, they were suddenly besieged by the Army of the Dead.
The knights fought hard, but they did not expect that these enemies could not be killed.
Even after their heads were chopped off, they could still stand up, and their chopped off palms were struggling on the ground, almost crushing them to pieces before they could be considered as 'solving' the other party.
The knights in the valley suffered heavy losses because they had no intelligence support. A large number of knights, including their men and their horses, were thrown to the ground by the swarming dead men, who then ate them alive and died.
Many of the knights who broke out of the siege had tears in their eyes in the wind and snow, watching helplessly as their companions were bitten to death and listening to their miserable howls.
Even after they returned to the camp, they could not forget it. This horrific scene left a deep psychological shadow on them. To put it simply, they were frightened into mental illness, and it would take some time to heal this unprecedented fear.
This is the first time since the Night's Watch that the Seven Nations have truly encountered a dead attack.
This completely reassured those within the coalition who still had doubts about this matter.
Because there was a knight's armor hanging with the severed hand bone of a dead man.
At that time, the opponent swarmed up and grabbed him in the gap of his armor. He cut it off with his sword, and his hand remained in the gap of his armor and was firmly stuck.
However, when he returned to the camp, the dead hand was still struggling. Many coalition soldiers witnessed this scene with their own eyes.
Even King Robert, Stannis, Eddard Stark and other nobles came over to watch the moving dead hand.
Swords could not kill these dead men, but because of this dead man's hand, the observant Lord Stannis discovered that flames could completely burn the opponent to death.
In fact, the Night's Watch had suggested a long time ago that flames can restrain these dead people, and the dead bodies must be burned with fire. However, the humble words have not been widely adopted.
However, finding the weaknesses of the dead people can be regarded as boosting the morale of the coalition soldiers who were frightened by the dead people.
It's okay if these monsters can be killed. If it is true as the Valley Knights who escaped said, these monsters can still move freely if they are cut in half.
Then they really don't have the courage to resist.
However, the "good mood" for the coalition soldiers was only temporary.
Then another piece of explosive news quickly spread among the coalition military camps.
That is, this time another patrol in the Western Region was suspected of being attacked by the White Walkers, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
Only one person fled back in a hurry, but this person seemed to be frightened and kept repeating a word.
Then the king, the duke, and others from the top coalition forces arrived, and the soldier who escaped finally said something.
Sure enough, they were attacked by the Legion of the Dead, but this time an extraordinary monster appeared in the attack.
He stands out among the legions of the dead, and is different from the mindless dead.
He is tall and gaunt, his skin is as pale as flesh, his eyes are as cold as ice and burning with fire. He rides a skeleton horse.
When the Western Knights looked at him, he also looked over.
"He's like the commander of the Army of the Dead!"
