Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf

The feudal system is generally implemented in Westeros. The great lord distributes the territory to his subordinates, and the subordinates distribute it to those who are loyal to him. The great lord can command his subordinates, but he cannot command his subordinates' subordinates.

A vassal's vassal is not my vassal; a lord's lord is not my lord.

Of course, some perverted nobles will hold conservative opinions. After all, why is my daughter not my daughter?

Under this system, Robb only needs to subdue a few of his relatively powerful earls.

"Prepare a temporary site that can accommodate 15,000 people, let the craftsmen make carts and tents, and prepare food and grass supplies. We cannot expect our lords to bring all the supplies..."

In the conference room, Robb was giving Maester Luwin's instructions on arranging soldiers when a knock on the door suddenly interrupted Robb.

"Robb, the Severns are here."

A smile appeared on Robb's lips: "The Severn family was the first to arrive. This is a testimony of the purest friendship. I want to see him in person."

Maester Luwin on the side reminded: "The Severn family is the closest to Winterfell and can be reached in half a day."

"This will not hinder the Severn family's loyalty."

In the original book, the Severn family is one of the most powerful families in the North. The patriarch, Meech Severn, was seriously injured and died fighting for Robb, and his only eldest son, Clay Severn, also died fighting for Robb to regain Winterfell.

It can be said to be strong and loyal.

If such a family doesn't give them important responsibilities, why should they get close to the skinners who are plotting evil things?

Taking his father's adopted son Theon and a group of personal guards, Robb arrived outside Winterfell. From a distance, he saw a team holding a black ax flag with a white background approaching slowly.

There are about two thousand people in this team, with an estimated three hundred on horseback, and the rest are infantry. At the front of the team, there were three people at the head, two men and one woman. They were the patriarch of the Severn family and his children.

Robb came to the three of them, looked at the patriarch of the Severn family, and welcomed them with a smile: "Be prepared with force. The motto of the Severn family is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"The swords of House Severn will always dance for the Starks."

Chief Severn couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he saw that Robb was only a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

He is absolutely loyal to the Stark family, but war is not a child's play. I heard that this Robb wants to go to war personally. How can a child command the three armies? Does he have this ability?

Robb nodded: "Stark will never forget his friendship with the Severn family. Theon, you go help arrange the army. Lord Severn and I have some matters to go to the castle to talk about."

It was also Robb's bad taste to specifically ask Theon to arrange the army. In the future, Theon would kill the eldest son of the Severn family, but now he has to greet him with a smile.

Arriving at the conference room, there were only Robb and Chief Severn. Robb poured a glass of wine for Meiqi Severn and warmly invited him to sit down.

Although Meech Severn doubted Robb's ability to lead troops, he did not hesitate at all about sending troops to help the Stark family, and directly brought all the combat power in the territory.

"This time I brought a standing army of 300 cavalry and 200 infantry. The rest of the infantry were temporarily recruited. They are basically farmers and craftsmen with average combat effectiveness."

Robb comforted: "It doesn't matter. The Lannister family has been mining gold for hundreds of years. I don't believe they can still pull out a team that can compete with the North. The soldiers in the North are not large in number, but in combat effectiveness." ”

Meech Severn looked at the confident Robb and felt a little relieved. The war is about to begin. If the coach is a coward and incompetent, then he can just vote and save a few people.

"Uncle Meiqi, you are my father's good friend. The friendship between our two families has continued since the ancestors thousands of years ago, so I want to make a request to you, and I hope you will not refuse."

Meiqi Severn was flattered: "You said it."

"I hope you will hand over the command of five hundred levies to me."

In name, Robb can give orders to Meech Severn and let him lead his men to fight on the battlefield, but Robb cannot directly command the soldiers of Meech Severn. They can disobey orders.

What Robb wants is direct command of these soldiers.

As Robb said, this request is a bit excessive. It means that even if the Severn family no longer wants to help the Stark family fight the war, the nobles and garrison can leave, but these levies must stay. Whether and when we will repay it in the future depends on the mood of our young city lord.

More than five hundred soldiers are an extremely valuable asset.

Meiqi Severn was a little hesitant. He came here to help, and he never thought about giving away most of his family fortune!

"Uncle Meech, I need your support." Robb looked at his face and said seriously, "I swear to God, after this war is over, you will get a satisfactory reward."

After thinking silently for a long time, Meiqi Seven finally raised his head and looked at this young man whose exact qualities he still didn't know: "Okay!"

He said nothing more, because trust and loyalty had already overflowed this small conference room.

Robb held the other party's hand: "The Stark family will always remember this friendship. There is one more thing that Uncle Meech needs to pay attention to. The Skinned family will come soon. Although their family surrenders to us, their loyalty is the shortest. , has the greatest ambition. At this time, the North is in a state of life and death. I am worried about them and need you to pay more attention to their movements."

Robb's meaning was not as simple as it seemed. His deeper meaning was that he hoped that the Severn family would try to find out the movements of the Flayed Family as much as possible, and report to him immediately if there was any abnormal situation.

This time, Meiqi Severn did not hesitate at all: "I remember it."

The atmosphere between the two eased, and they talked about some old stories. The head of the Severn family recalled the great achievements of following Ned to overthrow the Mad King. He became more and more excited as he talked, and he wanted to fly to King's Landing immediately to kill King Joe and Cersei and rescue Duke Ned.

Robb was also very emotional in his heart. The Stark family had a deep foundation in the North. Even if he had nothing, as long as he was the eldest son of Stark, there would be countless lords working for him.

In the next few days, the lords of the North came one after another. Most of them brought all their belongings like the Severn family, and they didn't even care whether their territory would be harassed by robbers and pirates. This was the appeal of the Stark family in the North.

Robb also started to get busy, meeting these lords one by one, arranging their camps, and mobilizing food and grass to maintain supplies.

The original Robb also handled these things very well, but he only pretended to be calm on the surface. In fact, he was very panicked. After dealing with difficult things, he would even go back to his brother to cry and vent, and then continue to pretend to be energetic during the day.

In fact, he has done very well. For a fifteen-year-old child, it is simply a super performance.

But at this moment, Robb is not only not panicked, but also enjoys this feeling.

He has experienced death countless times, and he doesn't know how many powerful enemies he has killed with his own hands.

But it is the first time to mobilize troops and make plans thousands of miles away. It is really interesting.
