Chapter six hundred and twentieth eight determination
"But there is one thing, if Lord Stark is right..."
"Then the Night King has indeed resurrected the kings of the North throughout the ages, including members of the Stark family in modern times, and driven them to fight for him."
When talking about this, the old Commander-in-Chief Mormont's expression was inevitably serious. After all, it was shocking enough for the White Walkers to resurrect the dead.
And now the White Walkers have really resurrected the previous kings of the north. It would be okay if these people did not have the wisdom of their lifetime, but if they still have the wisdom of their lifetime, then every king of the north is a hero among men.
It would be difficult for the Night Watch Legion to get any benefit from this group of monsters.
"It seems that the rumors that King Robert was shot by Lyanna Stark on the battlefield were not groundless."
Then Lord Commander Mormont sighed and said.
"Next, we must be extremely careful. Although the White Walkers did not engage in battle with us, but chose to retreat directly, we still need to be prepared for the other party to suddenly respond with a counterattack."
"When necessary, I will ask for help from His Majesty and ask for dragon knights to be sent to assist in the battle."
"yes!"
The generals in the Chinese army's tent all looked serious, including Eddard Stark, who responded in unison.
...
In the distant Red Keep, after half a month of discussion, Viserys and the Kingdom's Royal Council unanimously approved the decision to send troops to Nass Island.
The Iron Throne decided to dispatch a fleet of two thousand men, consisting of several large-tonnage main ships and dozens of escorting boats. The former captain of the Black Wind, Asha Greyjoy, the sea monster's daughter, served as the commander of the entire army and the Iron Throne
's messenger.
The fleet will set off from King's Landing, then first arrive at Pentos for supplies, and then along the west coast of the Essos continent, visiting the surrounding Free Trade Cities along the way.
The first stop for the Iron Throne's fleet will be the ruins of Myr that were destroyed by the Dothraki, as well as the newly established forces on this land.
Myr was once attacked by several Khals. The Dothraki hit a wall in Pentos and turned around to vent their anger on the Myr people. As a result, Myr suffered a devastating blow and the entire city was massacred.
Within a few days, all the wealth was plundered.
However, Myr is an ancient trading city-state with profound heritage. After suffering a devastating blow, it stood up again. Some Myr people who were outside returned to their hometown and built new cities on these ruins.
, trying to become the new master of this city.
The first stop of the Iron Throne Fleet is to visit Myr, followed by Tyrosh and Lys around the disputed lands.
The once disputed land was a prosperous place under the rule of the Valyrian Freehold, but it also fell into war after the collapse of the great empire of Valyria.
It was briefly controlled by Volantis, and then was overthrown, and Pentos and Tyrosh, with the support of Houses Braavos and Durandon, as well as the Targaryens, reduced it to a scorched earth.
Later, Myr, Tyrosh, and Lys established the short-lived Three Daughters Kingdom to fight against the constant invasion of Volantis. However, in the end Volantis lost interest in this place, and the Three Daughters Kingdom collapsed and soon fell into civil war.
among.
Triangles are stable.
Myr, Tyrosh and Lys may once have been a three-pronged force, but now that Myr has been burned to the ground by the Dothraki butcher knife, the conflict between Tyrosh and Lys over the disputed land has changed from the past relaxation to a tense situation.
Both sides want to control this land, and have even sent envoys to this place in the hope of winning the support of Pentos, the Targaryen family back then.
Due to geopolitical reasons, the only huge forces that can affect the political situation of the disputed land are the newly rising empire on the other side of the Narrow Sea and Volantis.
Except for Viserys, who has not yet taken the initiative to proclaim himself emperor and be crowned emperor, the outside world has already called Westeros, Andalus, and Pentos the Empire, and regarded it as the most powerful force in the world.
.
Therefore, this voyage is of vital importance, related to the stability of the political situation in the disputed land and the diplomatic relations between the trading city-state and the Targaryen family.
Viserys didn't know whether Asha Greyjoy could do a good job. He had intended to let Littlefinger accompany him, but after careful consideration he gave up the idea.
Petyr Baelish and Asha Greyjoy knew they wouldn't get along just by being put together.
Asha has a fiery nature, her eyes cannot tolerate sand, and her little finger is full of intrigues.
With the two of them working together, I'm afraid that either Asha killed the Governor of the Valley with a single blow, or Littlefinger made a plan to get Asha to die in a foreign land.
Moreover, the current most important task of the Valley Governor is to deepen the development of the valley and maintain control.
The Targaryen family does not have a strong control over the valley because the Targaryen soldiers have not personally conquered this land.
Although the Petyr family was born in the valley, their influence is also very small and almost useless. Now they still need the help of the traditional nobles of the valley to pass on the decree.
The valley is the area with the least thorough reform today. There are many reasons. One is because of the war, and there is no easy killing. The other is the land. The valley is deep in the mountains and old forests. In many villages in the mountains, only locals or local nobles can guide the way.
Otherwise no one can find it.
Of course, this lack of influence does not mean that the nobles of the Vale will rebel. They do not have the courage yet, and they still need to be cautious in the face of the Iron Throne's constant orders. It is just that Littlefinger himself, who relies on sellers to seek glory, is unfair.
The governor will need to spend more effort to rule this land.
The Royal Council officially notified the messenger of the Nas people, Miraz, telling him that the Iron Throne decided to send a fleet of two thousand people to Nas Island. They would be stationed on the islands near Nas Island to protect the Nas people from danger.
Due to attacks by pirates and slave-catching parties.
The man from Nath was naturally overjoyed. He was originally worried because his cousins fought with a prince named Joffrey Waters half a month ago.
Although Miraz learned Common Tongue when he was a slave, he didn't understand the situation in Westeros, and he couldn't figure out what kind of identity this Joffrey was.
But the end result seems to be that Joffrey was punished for bumping into the princess, and his mother Cersei was jointly and severally held responsible and was reprimanded for lax discipline.
"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."
In the study of Maegor's Tower, Viserys told Miraz that the Iron Throne had decided to send troops to Nass Island. The Nassian envoy immediately had tears in his eyes and wanted to kneel down to Viserys, but was persuaded by Viserys.
