The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

While Ed Stark and the nobles of the three places were still in Kaiyan City "dividing" the wealth of the Westerners and "ravaging" their glory, Will led the Ash Legion, the Great Wall advance army of the Four Kingdoms, and thousands of pack horses, cattle and sheep. With a team of thousands of miners, they left the western border and headed out of the Golden Tooth City towards the river land.

Hejiandi, Hongchahe Ferry.

"Here, it's Lord Will." said a young man with black curly hair riding on a brown war horse.

By his side were a dozen hussars.

Lucas Brightwood of the Brightwood family, the scout captain of the Red Fork River Ferry. One of the best friends of Edmund Tully, the heir of Running City.

The banner of his team is the silver trout of the Tuli family.

Lucas greeted him, but the oncoming team didn't go fast, with the flame flag burning in the center and the shadow lynx flag behind. Will rides on a black horse, followed by Tyron Ashes, the commander of the Ash Legion. Tyron Ashes walked side by side with Will's horse.

Will on the horse is not as tall as Tyron Ashes.

Behind Will and Tyron are a group of Ashes guards, the archer Angel, and the short archer Darjeel. Following this group of people were all black cavalry, horses like dragons, and people like tigers. It was the Great Wall Ash Legion that made the limelight during the war.

When the Ashes came, they were infantrymen, and when they returned in triumph, they all became cavalrymen.

Every well-trained horse is of great value.

Lucas looked straight.

And behind the Ash Cavalry Corps, there is a miscellaneous army with various flags that you can't see at a glance. Among them, the young general Robert Royce is headed, the leading flag is flying on all sides, and the stark family ice field on the other. The wolf, one side is the silver trout of the river, and the crescent falcon of the valley knight, and the yellow lion of the west. Among the only six hundred old, weak, sick and disabled legions, the commander is depressed and takes the initiative to ask. Davon Lannister--

The team was mighty, meandering like a long snake, stretching for several miles, Lucas riding on the horse looked far away, unable to see the snake's tail.

Behind these four miscellaneous flag armies were packhorses, ox carts, and flocks lined up for miles. There are dozens or hundreds of dark-skinned miners as a team, intertwined between pack horses and ox carts, and many miners wave their whips to drive these animals away.

Some trainers and dog workers riding on horses ran back and forth, blowing sharp whistles from time to time, instructing the hounds to drive the cattle and sheep back out of the queue.

Of course, Lucas and others couldn't see the latter situation.

The team dragged too long.

"Master Will." Lucas jumped down from his horse, respectfully. Believing in the old gods and paying attention to etiquette is the family tradition of Brightwood. Brightwood is the only nobleman in the Riverland who still believes in the old gods.

Will jumped off his horse and smiled, "Sir Lucas."

Raven City received a letter from the raven, and did not elaborate on Will leading such a large team.

During the exchanges between the two sides, the troops behind continued to drive over. Soon, the Hongcha River Ferry was crowded with cavalry and infantry.

"Does the team need to go to Benliu City to rest, or directly cross the Tengshi River to the north through Benliu City?"

There are two roads to walk here, one takes the waterway and goes down the river directly to Benliu City. After passing through the city, it crosses the Tengshi River to the north. One follows the west bank of the Hongcha River to the north, under the West Suspension Bridge of Runliu City, and enters the city directly through the suspension bridge. Passing through the city, crossing the Tengshi River to the north.

The moat of the West Suspension Bridge of Panliu City connects with the Hongcha River in the south and the Tengshi River in the north. When the war broke out, the gates on both sides of the moat were raised, and the triangular rushing city on the delta was surrounded by water on three sides, becoming an island in the raging river.

The team was divided into two at the Hongcha River Ferry. The infantry took a boat and the cavalry went north along the road on the west bank of the Hongcha River. Will brought Black Ash Ashes, Abel Ashes, Angel and Darjeel, along with General Robert Royce, and commanded a batch of miscellaneous infantry troops to board the ship and flow down to the city.

Because of the downstream, the speed of the infantry's waterway is not slower than that of the cavalry on the shore.

The water of the Hongcha River flows northward from the west to the bottom of Rushing City, turning to the east, and the Tengshi River merges into a more turbulent mainstream Hongcha River at the tip of the triangle of Rushing City, flowing eastward, near the sea, The Green Fork River and the Blue Fork River converge into a turbulent river, which eventually flows into the sea.

This is also the origin of the famous place in Hejian-Trident Valley. The Red Fork River, the Blue Fork River, and the Green Fork River, the three rivers finally converge in one place, and its shape is like a huge trident on the earth.

As the sun sets, one day is about to pass, and the team of 7,000 has passed more than half.

Behind the army were pack horses, ox carts, sheep, thousands of western miners, and hundreds of canine workers.

Lucas Brightwood and others were stunned.

Is this a victory product of Lord Will?

You can’t see the end of the packhorses, ox carts, sheep, and a team of miners in the West. I don’t know how many people there are. It’s normal for the Great Wall to require living materials, but the team of miners...Although the Great Wall Corps has been committed to self-sufficiency, I have never heard that the Great Wall Legion has ore to be mined and smelted.

"The adults rushed back to the Great Wall with so many pack horses, ox carts and sheep?" Lucas was incredulous, surprised in his tone.

Riding on a war horse, looking far away, the number of packhorses and ox carts coming from behind the army exceeded Lucas’s imagination. There were more miners in the west than the entire cavalry corps, which Lucas didn't know beforehand.

Will said: "Sir Lucas, pack horses, cattle and sheep, do not rush to the Great Wall of Impasse, but head east to the Mingyue Mountains..."

*

The terrain of the Mingyue Mountain Range surpasses the Wolfwood Mountain Range, and the number of aboriginal tribes in the mountains and the complexity of the situation far exceed the Wolfwood Mountain Range.

There are many tribes, and there are surprisingly many conflicts between tribes and tribes.

Tyrion had never experienced such a lengthy meeting-as the black-clothed envoy who came to solicit the aboriginals, several of them were quickly ‘attracted’ by the incomplete axe and sharpened wooden stick and spear of the aborigine.

For the "moon cake" Tyrion promised, the meeting held by several tribes to divide the "ransom" has lasted for ten days. The result is: except for endless quarrels and a few people who took out the knife because they were too excited. His body was thrown outside the meeting room without any results.

The freedom advocated by the aboriginals is that any person has the right to put forward their own opinions. Whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you are an adult, your opinions must be respected by everyone and discussed. If there are a thousand people participating in the meeting, then there are likely to be a thousand and one opinions that need to be discussed one by one-because everyone allows you to change your opinions halfway.

Freedom is valuable, but once there are no rules and bottom lines, it is a disaster.

Tyrion was lying on the stool next to the conference table with Erlang's legs tilted and drinking the sour fruit wine from the mountain people, while Bolong had already snored slightly. ——How fierce the aboriginal quarrels were at the meeting, Bolong could sleep peacefully.

It wasn't until a raven fell on Tyrion's shoulders in full view, that the aboriginal people who participated in the meeting quietly silenced. Although they don't raise ravens, they know that this kind of raven that is not afraid of people is a magical messenger carefully nurtured by the aristocratic scholars.
