A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones

When in the world of death, this kind of dead soul looked similar to a normal person except that its body was somewhat transparent. However, when it was summoned into reality, it completely changed.

With disheveled hair, red eyes, and a pale face, he looked like an old man who was seriously ill. Now standing in front of him, he was full of lifelessness and inexplicable horror, which was more in line with the appearance of the ghost in Renly's heart.

At the same time, the thinking that is similar to that of a normal person is too "mentally retarded" here. He does not answer questions, but just looks at each other quietly with his empty eyes, and his reaction is very dull.

"Its appearance seems to be what it looked like before it died." After looking left and right for a moment, Renly came to this conclusion. At the same time, he also discovered that this thing seemed a little afraid of light.

It was daytime at the moment, but there was actually not enough sunlight in the room. However, even if the light was insufficient, the thing was still subconsciously avoiding being illuminated, and its steps instinctively moved away from the window where it first appeared.

At the same time, the room gradually began to smell like a damp, greasy smell that exudes from a terminally ill human body, as if there really was a dying person here.

There was no obstacle when he tried to order it to move. Renly also found that even if he dispersed the scepter, the thing would not disappear.

It looked amazing, but after Renly spent a few hours experimenting with it, he was disappointed.

Because this dead soul can't bring him much help.

First of all, it cannot touch humans. In other words, it is as if it does not exist. It cannot touch any living beings and will only pass by when it encounters them.

In this way, although this thing can travel through buildings such as walls, it cannot be used as a warrior or assassin.

If it could communicate, it could be used to gather information. Unfortunately, with its greatly damaged IQ, this thing cannot even perform simple communication.

"I hope I will become stronger in the future." Renly thought to himself, but he was not too disappointed.

After all, being able to summon this thing now is already a big improvement compared to the beginning, and he has not forgotten that in the world behind the scepter, the souls of the dead are constantly "getting stronger" as time goes by.

Then maybe one day this kind of dead soul can still maintain normal thinking even if it is summoned, and maybe it can be used to assassinate targets.

This conjecture is not caused by some memories in the past life, but not long ago he "created" a dead soul that can kill people. Although that kind of creation is completely different from the current one, it cannot be denied that both kinds of dead souls are actually the same. is a "race".

Renly was looking forward to the usefulness this thing would bring in the future, but it seemed like he couldn't help him now. However, after studying it over and over for a while, he discovered something special...

Thoughtfully, he took down the long sword hanging on the wall not far away and placed it on the table. Then his mind moved, and he saw the dead soul standing blankly in the shadow of the wall suddenly turned into a handful of bloody mist and converged on the sword. In the end, no trace of its existence can be seen at all.

Holding the sword tightly, a cooler touch came over it than before. He raised his hand and touched the sword body again, and he could detect an obvious cold aura in it.

"What is this, undead enchantment?"

Renly flicked the sword with his fingers. He was curious about the use of this special "enchantment", so he ordered someone to find a twittering hen. After a while, he chopped it and tested it, and found that the hen was chopped off. There was no blood flowing out of the hen's neck.

He was thoughtful about this.

…

While Renly was experimenting in Seaside City, the situation in the Riverlands changed dramatically with the emergence of the Ironborn fleet.

As the main battlefield of invasion and counter-invasion, the situation in the Riverlands is very chaotic, and wars even occur every day. The alliance army of the nine free trade city-states and the Dothraki is powerful and has successively occupied the northern half of the river. The land between the rivers is now facing each other with the Westeros army gathered in the south of the river, and there is constant friction.

The Riverlands are closely connected to the royal territory where King's Landing is located. If you don't want King's Landing to be exposed to the iron heel of the enemy, then they must be restricted to the Riverlands.

Therefore, after the war began, the Riverlands gathered most of the troops that the Iron Throne could command. The Stormlands, Reach, Westerlands, and Vale combined an army of nearly 200,000 to firmly imprison the enemy here and let them Can't go any further.

Of course, it is said that they are gathered together, but in fact these armies are not integrated together, but are fighting each other's horns. The local armies from the West and the River are stationed in the Riverrun City of the Tully family and the Harrenhal area in the hinterland of the River. Be prepared for the enemy to move south.

In fact, the army in the valley has not left the scope of the valley, but the valley is located in the east of the river, and the internal roads are mountainous and complex. If the enemy is preparing to move south in a large scale, they will inevitably be cut in the middle by the army in the valley after sending troops.

This vague intimidation coupled with hard strength makes the Targaryen army unable and afraid to go further, and can only wander north of the river. In fact, although the enemy is powerful, the Iron Throne also has forces that are not weaker than them. strength.

In addition to the troops blocked in the north, the Arbor Army in the Reach supporting the South China Sea, and the troops stationed on the border between the Reach and the Stormlands to defend Dorne, Westeros has used all its strength this time.

Therefore, in terms of hard power, there is not much gap between the two sides. Now, besieging the enemy in the river and engaging in a war of attrition is more beneficial to the Iron Throne.

Just because the enemy came from afar, it was relatively difficult to supply, and the Iron Throne had the advantage of terrain and people. As time passed, the balance of victory would naturally lean towards the Iron Throne.

So even though the war had been going on for a long time, the current situation was still in a stalemate. There was a wonderful balance under a large number of chaotic battles, and as long as this balance was maintained, the outcome was actually predictable.

However, this balance was suddenly broken after the Ironmen occupied the Seafront.

The full withdrawal of the Qohor people from the war caught everyone off guard, and the enemy was defeated everywhere, but because they were also unpredictable, they did not cause any serious damage to the Targaryens.

Moreover, the Qohor people were not known for their military strength. The army they commanded was barely around 10,000, and they had to add mercenaries.

So after the initial chaos, the enemy still smoothed out the consequences of this turmoil, but the subsequent impact of this incident was very serious.

The Seafront City occupied by the Qohor people is one of the few castle bases of the Targaryen side. At the same time, the Seafront City is located at the back of the territory they occupy. However, this base is now owned by the Ironmen, which means that the enemy has hit them from behind.

Not only that, the Ironmen rely on the Green Fork River, one of the three forks, and they penetrated the entire riverland vertically as soon as they landed. They rely on ships to support all parties. Those who can't beat them will turn around and flee, and no one can catch them.

Under such guerrilla warfare, the originally stalemate situation has changed dramatically. The Targaryens on land naturally have no ships available, which means that no one can march faster than the Iron Islands, and no one can stop their escape.

They can't catch up with people, but they have to be on guard against the enemy from behind at any time. Overall, the Ironmen army is not large, but the small army makes the enemy's morale greatly reduced.

Because the army moves, it is inevitable that it cannot be far away from the water source, and the water source of the riverland mainly comes from the Three Forks River. In this case, it is difficult to prevent attacks from the water, and they can't resist at all.

With the cooperation of the Iron Throne's army, under the "internal and external troubles", the situation became precarious for the Targaryen side in just half a month. As a last resort, they could only shrink the front line to refine the defense.

In this way, the Targaryen directly lost half of the territory they had occupied since invading Westeros. Although there were no solid castles in these territories and they could be taken back at any time, the heavy loss of personnel was a defeat.

As soon as the news came out, the Iron Throne cheered for it, both on the front line and in the rear.

However, not everyone was happy about this. The Ironmen behind the enemy were complaining because of the "irony" of the shit-stirring stick. The enemy had led a large army to surround them and vowed to remove the nail that had stuck in their buttocks.
