Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf
Chapter 5: Stationed in Kalin Bay
At night, Robb personally sent Bran back to his room to rest.
"You know magic. What Osha said is true. You really have magic! Look at how they looked tonight. They almost want to take out their hearts and give them to you!" Bran excitedly discussed what happened in the banquet hall just now. everything.
Even Bran, a teenager, can see that after tonight, all the lords present no longer have any dissatisfaction in their hearts, especially the loudest Greatjon. After Robb took action to shock him, he willingly prostrated himself before Robb. The appearance in front of the Kashiwa Throne is exactly the same as Meiji from Bear Island.
"I bet if you asked him to die now, he wouldn't blink an eye."
Robb sent Bran to the bedroom and patted his brother's head dotingly. At this period, Bran was at the peak of his appearance, and anyone who saw him would say he was cute.
"I won't let him die. He is a loyal subordinate."
Bran doesn't care about this, and now his admiration for his brother has reached its peak: "You can definitely save your father and sister, right, and Arya, although she always steals my spotlight."
Robb shook his head: "I can't guarantee that you've seen the false emperor Joffrey. He is actually the product of close relatives and has a somewhat abnormal personality. I can't guarantee that I can kill him and rescue his father before he goes crazy. "
Bran thought of Joffrey's arrogant and cowardly appearance, and his newly calm heart became anxious again.
Robb looked at him: "Bran, are you a man?"
Bran glanced at his disabled legs: "I am, but they all say that I..."
Robb interrupted Bran: "Listen, Bran. No one will ever say anything about you if you lie in your bedroom for the rest of your life, but can you stay in bed for the rest of your life? What other people think doesn't matter, because their opinions will follow. It changes based on your performance. When you act cowardly, they will look down on you. If you are strong, others will admire you.
When I set off, you and four-year-old Rickon will be the only ones left in Winterfell. The Stark family will respond in the north, but there will also be people with evil intentions. They will take this opportunity to attack Winterfell and help them with all their strength. Our other Lords.
I will leave some people behind for you, and Maester Luwin will help you. You must learn to lead them and defend Winterfell in times of danger. "
After listening to Robb's words, Bran cheered up a little: "I can!"
Robb said solemnly: "No matter what situation you encounter, you must stay behind closed doors and wait for me to come back."
"I will, even if they laugh at me, I will keep our home."
…
The next morning, Robb packed everything, said goodbye to Bran, and prepared to leave Winterfell and march south with his army.
Bran came to say goodbye and said worriedly: "Rickon refused to come and say goodbye to you. He was worried that you, like his father, would never come back."
Robb shook his head: "I will come back. Then I can teach you the magic you have always wanted to learn. According to my observation, you are very talented."
Bran showed a delighted expression: "Really?!"
Robb laughed and teased: "Of course it's true. Your riding, archery and sword skills are not as good as Arya's. There's not much point in being a knight. Why don't you learn some magic from me."
Bran's face suddenly fell, but he felt an indescribable feeling of joy that he had not seen for a long time. He could not compare with Arya, who was always laughed at by his brothers, but since he was pushed out of the tower by the Lannister family, After falling off, causing my legs to become disabled, my brothers and sisters never said that again.
Maybe it's to take care of one's own emotions, but this kind of pity always makes people want to cry at night.
On the contrary, Robb was like this now, which made him angry and happy at the same time, which was really strange.
Watching his brother Robb go away, Bran saw Gray Wind running beside his horse with a strong figure. At the front of the team was holding the gray and white banner of the Stark family high, and the banner was fluttering in the wind.
Theon Greyjoy and Great Jon walked on both sides of Robb. Since last night, Great Jon has been willing to become Robb's guard, and the remaining more than 3,000 knights followed in two columns. , the steel spear tip gleamed in the sunlight.
From this moment on, an elite force appeared on the King's Road.
The King's Road is a public road that runs through the north and south of the continent of Westeros. In the era of low productivity, a good road meant that countless innocent souls were buried in it, so the entire continent of Westeros was just a 'highway' called the King's Road.
The Northern Territory is located in the northernmost part of the continent. Because of its extremely cold winter climate, it is difficult to attract outsiders. Therefore, although the Northern Territory covers a huge area, accounting for almost one-third of the entire continent, the population is not that large.
The huge area also meant that Robb had to walk a long way to get to King's Landing.
Robb led the team slowly towards the south. The journey was relatively easy at first, but soon they entered an area with more swamps and the march slowed down.
The soldiers walked fine, but the logistics supplies couldn't move quickly in these swamps. The carriages often got stuck in the mud, and it took several soldiers to lift them out.
In order to obtain more information, Robb sent the knights of the Severn family as scouts and scattered more than a hundred people, collecting intelligence along the way, attracting wandering knights who wanted to defect, and contacting people in the swamp.
After several days of advancing and collecting intelligence, Robb led his army to the most important castle in the north - Cailin Bay.
Robb ordered to Xion who was standing aside: "Send my military order. The army will rest here and let the leaders of each family come over for a meeting at night."
Mount Cailin is the strongest fortress in the North. This is not to say how magnificent it is, but it has a unique geographical advantage.
To the north of Moat Cailin is Winterfell, which can be reached by following the King's Road, which is basically unobstructed, but to the south is a huge swamp.
This swamp is extremely dangerous, with obstacles and bushes everywhere, countless poisonous insects and snakes, and the ground is full of mud. Outsiders will get lost if they enter. It is basically impossible to send a large army to attack Moat Cailin from this rotten land.
The castle in the swamp is called Greywater Watch, and its lord is Howland Reed, who is loyal to the North. He and Ned are also brothers who have been through life and death. The residents living in Greywater Watch are the swamps that Maester Luwin told Bran before.
To the south of the swamp is the Riverlands, the territory of one of the other seven dukes, a rich land.
So as long as they defend Moat Cailin, the North will always be invincible.
Before the evening meeting, a large number of scouts that had been sent out a few days ago returned to Moat Cailin. Robb had gained a lot of intelligence, but what they brought back was not good news.
Ser Jaime of the Lannister family led his army to attack the army of the Tully family in the Riverlands at the Golden Tooth, and the riverland lord Earl Vance was killed in the battle.
