thor from the walking dead

June 11

early morning

King Robert was assassinated and died, and the story that the assassin was Ed was also widely spread.

Robert's two younger brothers, Stannis Baratheon and Renly Baratheon, rushed to King's Landing immediately. When they saw Robert who was already stiff and cold in the church hall, they were sure that it was not Robert.

rumor.

royal council

Joffrey, who had been hastily pushed to the throne by the queen, sat in the first place. The queen sat on the right, followed by the new Prime Minister Tywin, Littlefinger, Octopus, the old maester, and Stannis and Renly on the left.

In front of them stood Jaime Lannister, wearing the armor of the Kingsguard.

"When I entered the king's chamber this morning, the king was already dead. His eyes were wide and congested, and black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. The maester diagnosed him with poisoning. I immediately went to the former Prime Minister Eddard Stark to deal with this emergency.

However, the former prime minister has disappeared. I found the broken poison residue on the ground. I think it was accidentally broken when he left. After the bachelor extracted and compared it, the poison was the same as the poison in the king.

"

"Huh! This Ed is so cruel. His Majesty kindly invited him to serve as Prime Minister in King's Landing. This is such a high regard and trust. But he actually poisoned His Majesty. It's really, really..." Littlefinger was the first to add insult to injury.

As the king's second brother, Stannis's face was as serious as snow and he said coldly: "Yesterday, Eddard still held a royal meeting in King's Landing, but today he has not been seen. He cannot escape far even if he escapes. I have sent a team of elite cavalry.

Go in pursuit, I believe there will be news soon."

"My little birds also brought back some information," Varys, the eight-clawed spider, took out a letter from his sleeve and opened it. "In the early hours of this morning, a group of suspicious-looking people left the Red Castle from the alley and stood outside the Mud Gate.

Grabbed a boat along the black water

Going north of the river, by the time the message was sent back, they had already reached the shores of God's Eye Lake. Now they may have continued north along the Green Fork River. No matter how fast the cavalry is, the waterway will not be clear. Lord Stannis's cavalry may be in vain.

And back."

"The poison is extracted from the sap of a tree unique to the North. The poisoning will not occur immediately, but will have a delay period of more than ten hours. I heard that Ed went to see His Majesty for a big quarrel yesterday afternoon. I wonder if it was that

hour…"

The old maester did not have that well-informed intelligence information, but he was very good at observing what was happening and following the situation. Although he did not believe that Eddard would poison Robert, the evidence was right in front of him. Coupled with the attitudes of Jaime and Queen Tywin, things were already very serious.

It’s clear, Ed is the murderer, right?

"You want to kill my eldest brother and just walk away like this? He doesn't pay attention to our Baratheon family at all. Second brother, we can't turn a blind eye to this hatred. We must send troops northward before winter comes completely.

Ping the North and avenge my elder brother!" Renly stood up angrily, no longer as gentle as before.

Stannis said coldly: "The Stark family must pay with blood, but war is not a child's play, let alone going to that bitter and cold place in the north. It is only our family's strength. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"You are afraid, but I am not. Ed unjustly killed his elder brother and escaped, so he must pay for it with his life. If you don't want to send troops to be a coward, then just retire on Dragonstone. I will lead the troops north by myself, even if I die,

I want to bury Ed with me too!”….

Renly was somewhat hysterical. Not only Stannis, but also other ministers were also unfamiliar with Renly, but he was his eldest brother after all. If he could still discuss it calmly, then the scheming palace would be terrible.

"Did I say not to send troops? It's just that the north is at the right time and in the right place, and it's easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our family will just die in vain if we go there," Stannis looked at him without saying a word from beginning to end, and his expression didn't even change.

Tywin Lannister said, "Lord Tywin, it was your king's son-in-law who was killed, and I heard that Tyrion was captured by Catelyn on his way back to King's Landing."

Facing Stannis's eccentricity, Tywin's tough and determined face showed no displeasure: "You don't need to tell me this. The main purpose of convening the royal council today is to discuss sending troops north. How many troops can you send?"

"Sixty thousand, this is our limit." Stannis said without thinking, obviously he had already counted his family before coming.

situation.

When Renly saw his second brother's answer so simply, he knew that his second brother was still the same as before. His scolding Stannis just now also had an element of irritation.

"We can send 80,000 troops and 140,000 from the two families to go north. Even if the northern border has the right time, place and people, they can only mobilize tens of thousands of troops at most, plus the burden of food supplies. Unless they want to annihilate their race, they will definitely

There is no way to stop our cavalry!" Tywin's sharp eyes like an eagle swept over everyone. The arrogance and confidence in his eyes coupled with the majesty of a lion exuded from his body, no one dared to look at him.

Joffrey was the king now. He wanted to say something, but he looked at Tywin and immediately lowered his head and said nothing. He was crazy, but not stupid enough.

"With Lord Tywin joining us, this battle will be won!" A sly look flashed deep in Stannis's eyes, "Then let's discuss the specific matters."

Arriving ashore from the shore of Divine Eye Lake, Ed Makino and his party walked to Earl Harroway's town, and expected to arrive before sunset in the afternoon.

noon

They stopped to repair in the sparse woods.

"Sir, someone is coming." Makino saw faint ripples in the water in the water cup on the ground, and put the back of his hand on the ground in a pretentious manner, "It's the cavalry, about ten of them!"

Ed didn't have the slightest doubt and stood up immediately, "Get ready to meet the enemy!"

These guards are all Ed's confidants and are well-trained. After hearing the order, they will immediately draw their weapons and form a formation to prepare for the incoming enemy.

"Sir, these people should be chasing us, but I'm afraid they won't fight us head-on, but will send our whereabouts back," Makino said, already heading towards the direction of the cavalry, "I'm going to lurk there.

Prevent them from escaping later."

"You have to be careful." Ed looked at Makino's leaving figure and felt a sense of security in his heart for no reason, just like how his father and brother protected him back then.

Sansa and Arya were frightened when they saw the guards looking like they were facing a formidable enemy. Sansa hid behind a bunch of salutes and shivered. Arya also hid behind the salutes, but after taking a few deep breaths, she was still strong.

He dared to take out his sewing needle and poked his head out to look outside.

Ed saw that his two daughters were already hiding and being protected by the guards. He clenched the ice with both hands and felt the increasingly obvious shock under his feet...
