"Ser Rodrik! Lord of the North and Winterfell, captain of Lord Ned Stark's bodyguard!" He looked at Kirk for a long time and finally spoke, his voice hoarse like a wolf that had been howling for days and nights.

.

Kirk already had a preliminary impression that this was an old and loyal Wolf of the North with ambitions of thousands of miles.

He didn't speak. In fact, he didn't know his identity arranged by the space. Silence was the best choice.

"You, this group of Duke's guards, were selected by the Duke during yesterday's competition. Today is your first day on duty. Boy, let me tell you, if you make any mistakes in today's mission, I will

Make a mistake and I'll let you know how the nickname "Crazy Rodrik" came from! Did you hear it? Answer me!" Sir Rodrik roared.

Kirk immediately loudly replied: "Yes, sir."

"In three minutes, I want to see you put on your armor, hold your weapons, and line up in the school grounds below the main castle! If you are one minute late, I will let Master Robb's nasty direwolf [Grey Wind"

】Chasing and biting you in the snow for 10 minutes! Recently, that direwolf has become fatter than a pig, lazier than a cat, and has no direwolf character at all. What it needs is exercise. Did you hear that?

"

Kirk had no time to answer, and hurriedly began to put on his armor and hastily picked up a weapon.

He put his helmet on his head and hurried downstairs.

He passed through the main hall of the main castle, which was used to entertain guests and the owner of the castle's family dining room. The hall was quite large, and the outer walls were made of gray stone and covered with flags. There was one facing the castle yard.

The door is made of oak and steel, and there is a side door that leads to a dark corridor. The interior of the hall can be filled with eight long tables, separated by a central corridor, four on each side, and can accommodate 500 people. The ones on the high platform are for

Prepared for noble guests.

When he rushed to the school grounds, Kirk saw many contractors running out of the main castle in disheveled clothes. They looked like a group of refugees.

Following them was Sir Rodrik, whose face was as gloomy as the sky before the snow came. He sneered as he walked: "Look, look at the fighting state of our warriors in the North, look at you

of armor, I can easily cut through this huge armor with one knife

Big gap, stabbing into your heart. To be honest, it is difficult to miss. Look at your swords, you are holding them backwards! Don’t you know you should face the enemy with the blade side? Look at your swords again.

Sleepy eyes, did you all go to the whorehouse of Winterfell last night?"

Listening to Sir Rodrik's roar, the contractor felt bitter in his heart. This tough mission, this unlucky Sir, might have to train later. If these jokes spread, it will be a lot of fun in space.

However, fortunately, a burly middle-aged man came out soon. In the wind and snow, his long brown hair was flying in the wind, and a few wisps of white hair came out of his neatly trimmed beard. He looked quite mature.

He is 40 years old. He has a typical long horse face. His gray eyes are as sharp as a hawk, scanning over the anxious contractor guards.

"Okay, Rodrik, let me say a few words." As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, Sir Rodrik bowed and retreated.

"I am the Lord of the North, Duke of Winterfell, Ned Stark, and the commander of your army. I believe many of you have seen me, and there are also many who have been transferred from other jurisdictions and have not seen me. I hope

You will remember my old face from now on, because this is the face that needs your protection."

The contractors burst into laughter. According to rumors, Ned was a humorless commander most of the time, but he was not a soft-hearted person. It seemed that he at least had a little sense of humor in front of his subordinates.

Ned was not wearing armor, but was wearing a direwolf fur cloak of the same rugged style. His thick arms held his greatsword "Ice", which was a legendary and powerful weapon.

In the snowy sky, Ned's footsteps sounded dull on the school field.

The contractors were all looking at him.

Ned's voice continued: "Recently, bad news has spread on the Great Wall. My younger brother Benjen Stark, who serves in the Night's Watch, has sent news. White Walkers have begun to appear on the edge of the Wall.

and left evidence of murder. He wanted to investigate further. The Lord of the Night's Watch and our prophet told me that the long winter is coming soon. Perhaps this is the time since the White Walkers invaded in large numbers and were finally driven back

The longest winter since the Far North."

After saying this, he suddenly stopped: "As knights of the Stark family, you must never forget that our clan language is!"

Kirk kicked the little fat guy down who was about to shout "no cavities", and shouted with the other contractors: "Winter is coming!"

"Yes!" Ned nodded with satisfaction: "Winter is coming. In our continent, each season can last for several years or decades. Winter has not come to the Northland for too long! Winter, for seven

For our countrymen, this means the danger of a large-scale invasion of White Walkers! Our family is here to guard this place, the Great Wall, and the Seven Kingdoms!"

The wind blew through the school grounds, and the contractors were silent, chewing on Ned's words.

"Another bad news is that the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, Jon Arryn, has died. He was my adoptive father and the king's adoptive father. He was deeply respected and loved by us. But he passed away for unknown reasons."

Speaking of this, Ned took a long breath of cold air: "Maybe soon, we will usher in a war! I hope it is the north, but I need you to make all preparations. For the freedom and tranquility of the north,

For the peace and happiness of the seven countries, we must make all preparations!"

The contractors responded in unison.

Ned nodded with satisfaction and left the school grounds, signaling Sir Rodrik to continue.

While Sir continued to let go of his howling words, Kirk had already begun to look around, getting familiar with Winterfell.

Winterfell is said to have been built by Brandon the Builder and with the help of giants more than 8,000 years ago. For most of recorded history, Winterfell was the home fortress of the Stark family, the northern border.

Kings and the Warden of the North after King Torrhen Stark bowed the knee to Aegon the Conqueror and his dragons

At the same time, it is also the capital of the Northern Territory. The Harvest Festival has been held in Winterfell for many years. The biggest feature of Winterfell is that it is a city built on hot springs. Every house has a hot spring supply.

Every garden is watered by hot springs, and flowers are in bloom even when it's freezing.

In front of Kirk's eyes is a majestic fortress, which is also the core of Winterfell's defense - the main keep. The main keep is the fortress core of the entire castle building. It is built on a natural hot spring to maintain heat. The walls are made of granite.

It is connected to the weapons depot through a sealed bridge. From a window on the bridge, you can have a panoramic view of the entire school grounds.

Next to the main castle is a small church built for Catelyn Tully by her husband, Lord Eddard Stark.

In the center of the castle is a sacred forest. The ancient sacred forest has grown untouched for more than ten thousand years. Three acres of land and dense trees form a dense canopy around which the entire castle is built.

In the center of the woods stands an ancient weirwood tree, rooted in a pool of black water, with a face carved on it, very mysterious.

To the east of the school grounds, there is a bridge connecting the clock tower and the crow's nest. The bridge is not open-air. There is a direct access from the fourth floor of the tower to the crow's nest on the second floor. The guard room is with the clock tower.

To the south is a tall tower belonging to Maester Luwin of Winterfell. The library tower is located in the maester's library of Winterfell. A stone staircase wraps around the outer wall.

This is Winterfell, the capital of the Northern Land. Overall, this place is really not big, just like the castles in ancient England, but it is full of unexpected life. From the godswood to the flower greenhouse, the nourishment and warmth of the hot springs

Warmth makes this place always warm as spring.

The space prompt was officially given: "Contractors of the Stark family. You have entered Winterfell and have become the bodyguards of Ned Stark, the King of the North and Duke of Winterfell. You must protect his safety.

.And based on the team’s score, the ranking and victory of the final team championship will be determined. The game officially begins!”

At this time, Sir Rodrik changed his tone and brought the topic to a topic of interest to the contractor: "The main reason why Lord Ned wanted to cool down his guard team and call together you incompetent warriors is because

To do well tomorrow Robert

All the preparations for the king's arrival at Winterfell. Thank the Seven Gods! Due to the unexpected snowfall, the king's motorcade was half a day later than expected, buying us a little time when we were unprepared. Winterfell is now extremely short of manpower.

, you all have to go to work today.”

Kirk found Wang Han behind him, and the two made eye contact.

Wang Han sent a message to Kirk from space: "I didn't expect that at the beginning of the timeline, we would welcome the arrival of King Robert."

Kirk nodded: "Well, first we have to meet the contractors of the Baratheon family. Will they pose a threat to Ned?"

Wang Han shook his head: "I can't analyze it from a plot perspective. Because after Ned's death, the fate of the Crowned Stag family (the Baratheon family, the family emblem is a crowned stag, hence the name) was more rough than the Starks.

The family is not strong enough. The world has been ruined. Many members of the clan are still being persecuted. What’s even worse is that Robert II, that vicious little prince, simply

Not a descendant of the Baratheon family! But the product of incest between the queen and her twin brother Jaime Lannister. I guess the task these contractors received was probably to prevent Robert I from dying. From the plot

Look, the only force Robert I can count on is his best friend Ned Stark, so those contractors are more anxious to cooperate than we are!"

Kirk couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he was not the only one suffering from his fate.

At this time, Sir Rodrik had finished allocating the work. He glared: "Why don't you hurry up and get to work?"

The contractors dispersed, and Van Gundy, Marksman and Kirk came together intentionally or unintentionally to discuss countermeasures.

First, analyze the current main mission. The main mission is very clear. You must follow the main plot, follow Ned to King's Landing, and return safely.

This blocked the Contractors' attempt to make a big move in Winterfell and force Ned to stay in Winterfell. When they heard that they wanted to protect Ned's life, the Contractors' first reaction was that since the capital is King's Landing,

It's a tiger's den and a dragon's pond. If I kill people, set fires, kidnap hostages, and prevent Ned from going there, then it's over. How can I frame someone if he doesn't even go there?

It would be better if someone else comes to fight. The area of ​​the Northern Territory is equivalent to the other six kingdoms combined (the other six kingdoms are collectively called the Southern Territory). It has long been fighting against wild people and ghosts. The people are fierce, the soldiers and horses are strong, and there are natural dangers such as snake-neck swamps.

(The long and narrow swamp between the northern and southern borders is easy to defend but difficult to attack.) There is no fear of war at all.

In history, except for "Aegon the Conqueror" who used three fire dragons to make the Stark family in the North surrender without a fight, the North has never been conquered by anyone. As long as there is a fight, the North will be conquered.

It will become the Soochow of the Three Kingdoms, and Ned will not die in ten thousand years. (The northern land is equivalent to the Scottish template)

However, one fact that breaks the egg is that Ned must go to King's Landing once before he can come back as a turtle. This makes the contractors very troubled.

Magic Archer suddenly realized: "I finally know why the space issues main missions back to back. If our main mission is known to others, they will definitely set many traps on King's Landing and on the way there and back, because King's Landing is the only one to assassinate

Chance for Lord Stark!"

Van Gundy understood: "From now on, our main mission must remain top secret, and team members cannot be allowed to reveal mission information in any form."

Kirk nodded and had a sudden thought: "I was thinking, if the situation of the Seven Kingdoms can be compared to a game of chess, the previous players were the powerful dukes and ministers of the Royal Council. Robert was played with applause.

The stupid king is not even qualified to be a player. But now, due to the participation of our contractors who are familiar with the historical trends, it has become a real and fake game. On the surface, it is still the plot characters playing chess, but in fact, we contractors are playing chess.

Play chess, and know it

The game after knowing the plot trend. This will test two abilities. One is our ability to judge the situation. Who will ally with us, who will antagonize us, who will play both ends, and how to deal with it.

Differentiate and attack the enemy. The second is to test our influence and control over the plot characters. If we can analyze everything well, but can't affect Ned's decision-making at all, the chess player will still be his clumsy hands, and he will lose his heart.

It’s still us who lose.”
