The journey of film and television world is endless

The bay formed by Storrold's Point created a natural deep-water harbor, large enough to accommodate sizable ships. Within the harbor lay numerous wrecks, hinting at its former prosperity; it once had a name: Hardhome.

Today, a fleet slowly approached the area, consisting of two sailing ships. Liu Yuan stood on the deck, gazing at the ruins. Plump seals grunted and dove back into the sea, some barking at the ships in protest, expressing their displeasure at the occupation of their habitat.

According to records in the Citadel's library, Hardhome was the only place beyond the Wall with the potential to become a city. Approximately six hundred years ago, on a certain night, Hardhome was struck by a mysterious disaster. The entire settlement was burned, and all its inhabitants vanished, leaving behind vast expanses of corpses. The Night's Watch could not determine what had happened. Eastwatch-by-the-Sea sent out several ranger parties to investigate, but they claimed that no survivors could be found.

Some say that the Skagosi cannibals attacked the place, while others claim it was the work of slavers from across the Narrow Sea. To this, Liu Yuan said it was utter nonsense. Since the battle beneath Dagger's Hills two months ago, the entire island of Skagos had fallen under his rule. All the treasures of the three clans belonged to him, including some ancient stone tablets inscribed with numerous runes. The runes were the writing of the Old Tongue used by the First Men, somewhat similar to the runic alphabet on Earth. These characters were carved into stone and other objects, rather than recorded in books or scrolls. They documented all the major events that had occurred on Skagos since 1600 years ago, and there was no mention of Hardhome among them.

Liu Yuan guessed that the Night's Watch, in conjunction with the North, was responsible. Hardhome was too close to the Wall, and its rapid development posed a threat to the Night's Watch. Once it developed into a city, wildlings would gather a larger population, and further develop the shipping industry. At that point, Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, and even the entire east coast of the North, would be within the wildlings' range of attack. If Liu Yuan were the commander of the Night's Watch, he would definitely unite with the impoverished lords of the North to plunder Hardhome, eliminate a hidden danger, and make a fortune in the process.

Their plan was very successful. Until now, the wildlings had never returned to rebuild the settlement, leaving behind only ruins. Behind the ruins of the settlement was a huge cliff, its walls riddled with caves. When the wind blew through the caves, it created a chilling howl.

As soon as Liu Yuan set foot on this land, he discovered signs of recent human habitation. At his feet was a broken wooden barrel, specifically used for storing Riverlands ale, bearing the mark of Holyhall. He had long heard that southern smugglers would regularly trade with the wildlings beyond the Wall. Liu Yuan had also asked them to look for rare animal furs when he was in Oldtown. This must be their meeting place.

Liu Yuan looked around and clicked his tongue. This was truly a good place. Facing the sea, it had abundant fishing resources, and backing onto the haunted forest, it had a continuous supply of quality timber. Building a city the size of White Harbor should not be a problem. It was a bit of a pity that he couldn't reveal himself yet, otherwise, he would definitely occupy this place.

The crew members busied themselves for a long time unloading the supplies, which were mostly food and outdoor living items. The most troublesome thing was the two hundred or so warhorses. There was no dock here, so they had to use a crane to hoist the horses onto small boats and then transfer them to the shore.

Liu Yuan planned to explore the legendary lands beyond the Wall. When he watched American dramas on Earth, he was very curious about this place. Giants, Children of the Forest, Others, direwolves, snow bears, mammoths... and magical zombies. He had long wanted to see them. Now that the magical tide had not yet returned, those mythical creatures should still be dormant.

But there were giants! If he could subdue a tribe of giants, get a team of giant bodyguards, and put them in full body armor... Hehehe... just thinking about it was exciting.

After completing the delivery mission, the two ships set sail and returned to Skagos. Bandiel, as the plenipotentiary representative, led twenty ships to Slaver's Bay to fulfill the agreement with the Good Masters. He would also take a look at Yunkai and Meereen, and buy more skilled slaves, especially shipbuilding craftsmen. To the northeast of Skagos was an island formed after a volcanic eruption, covered with volcanic rock and barren. Liu Yuan discovered that the volcanic ash contained rich active silicon dioxide and active aluminum oxide. If it was ground into a fine powder and mixed with lime and water, it would not only harden in the air but also continue to harden in the water, making it a natural cement.

Now the entire island was under massive construction. Former Skinnersgate was now renamed Claw Isle Port. Most of the Claw clan members had moved here, and the former clan territory of Deepdown had become a military garrison. After several years of chaos on Skagos, the number of people still alive on the island was less than forty thousand. Liu Yuan allocated them to live in fifteen settlements.

For this exploration, Liu Yuan didn't bring many people, only one hundred and twenty. Each of them was a carefully selected elite from the entire army, including highly skilled gladiators, roaring warriors with superb horsemanship and divine archery, and clan hunters who howled in the mountains... The leader was still Grig, that憨货. To adapt to this operation, all of them were equipped with leather-mixed-cotton armor with built-in alloy, including cotton covers for the horses. The weapons they carried were even more extraordinary, all Valyrian steel refined using the pattern welding method. Even if they really encountered Others, they wouldn't be afraid.

After the team was ready, they set off. Except for Grig, everyone had two horses, one to ride and the other to carry luggage. Grig's new mount was a giant moose, 2.8 meters long and 2.1 meters tall at the shoulder, even bigger than the Shire horses Liu Yuan had raised. After passing through the winding canyon, they entered the most famous haunted forest beyond the Wall, which was also the main settlement area for the wildlings. The forest was mainly composed of weirwood and sentinel trees, and was also home to a large number of wild animals, especially direwolves and snow bears, and reportedly shadowcats.

On the fifth day after they entered the haunted forest, a large number of crows suddenly took flight, followed by a fierce fight from the other side of the forest. The soldiers all looked at Liu Yuan. After wandering aimlessly in the forest for so many days, they finally saw traces of people, even if they were enemies. That was good.

Liu Yuan: "Let's go, let's go take a look." He wasn't worried at all. With the current combat power of the team, even if they encountered a wildling tribe of thousands of people, they would still be able to fight. Jeor Mormont dared to go on an expedition with 300 Night's Watchmen, which shows that the wildlings' combat power was just so-so.

Soon they arrived at the place of the battle, but the result disappointed him. They saw more than 40 wildlings in animal skins besieging 18 Night's Watchmen in black cloaks. The two sides were fighting quite lively, and only five people were lying on the ground. A young figure in the black-clothed group caught Liu Yuan's attention. It was Benjen Stark.
