Chapter 625: Northland

The years in the city of King’s Landing are hurried, except for some issues between major military affairs and trivial matters.

And nominally absorbed into the kingdom's army system, the Night Watch Corps, as the Fifth Legion, after a long journey, finally walked through the Twin River City of the Brecon family and came to the bank of the neck.

The kingdom’s current military deployment mostly focuses on important cities and strongholds. Ordinary castles and villages rely on the private soldiers of the local nobles and villagers to protect their homes.

For example, on the side of King’s Landing, Oberon’s Second Army was stationed to guard the capital.

The Golden Regiment, as the Third Army Corps, moved and stationed on the banks of the neck after the war, building strong fortifications and semi-permanent camps.

This is related to the strategic direction of the future country. Sooner or later, strange ghosts will make a comeback. At that time, the Night Watch Corps will be the first line of defense, and the second line of defense will be the Golden Group at the southern end of Neckze. The third line of defense is in King’s Landing. If you can't guard it, you can escape to Essos as early as possible.

As for the Old Town, Lannisport, Seagull Town and other densely populated cities in Westeros, they now rely on the city garrison to guard them. Like the high court, they have become the royal family's private land.

Viselis plans to set up the governorship in these important cities in the future. Those who have the ability will become the city directly under the jurisdiction of the king and the engine of the country’s economy. Instead of missing good development opportunities as usual, it will have no choice but to do so. To keep pace and even to pay for themselves.

Of course, Veserys’ plan is not just to simply open the ports and attach importance to commerce. Now that the internal productivity is lagging behind and the outside world is full of wealthy businessmen, opening the ports is tantamount to plundering wealth. Take one step at a time and eat one bite at a time.

After crossing the necks, the Night Watch Corps began to fight steadily. The Kingdom Fleet Navy led by Earl Jeffrey Brecon landed in Whiteport to clean up the remaining ghouls here.

Baigang was once swept away by the Dothraki, so now the Kingdom’s navy didn’t spend too much effort to clean up the ghouls after the successful landing in Baigang, and quickly gained a foothold here, but it’s cold north of the neck. The wind and frost still became a great obstacle.

The cold didn't seem to be accompanied by the retreat of the dead army. The human army crossed the neck, but it still looked like an ice world and everything was dead.

"I don't think humans can survive in such an environment?"

In the Night Watch Legion, a knight in a black cloak looked worriedly at the falling snow from the sky, then turned his head and spoke to Ed Stark beside him.

Although all the people who join the Night's Watch Legion are sinners and shouldn't keep the old family crest, after all, there is always a little psychological sustenance to be away from home. This is a knight from the south. He has never seen such a icy place. Terrible, these white snowflakes looked like white devil to him.

"In fact, the environment north of the Great Wall is like this all year round, even colder than here."

And Ed Stark is wearing a black cloak, his chest is also embroidered with the emblem of the ice wolf, and one of his cheeks is weather-beaten.

"If the savages can survive, we can."

He also raised his head and looked at the gradually dimming sky, and then looked around the flat land around him, but it was a place suitable for camping.

Ed knowing that today's journey is about to end here, then rolled over and got off his horse, stepping on the snow on the ground, and exhaling a long white breath.

As the night gradually shrouded, the march of the night watchman really ended here.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

"Set up camp!"

A messenger riding a war horse walked through the army, shouting loudly, passing the command of Commander-in-Chief Mormont.

Squeak--

The army gradually stopped, and the subsequent escorted supplies came up, including fur tents to keep out the cold, kerosene for making fires, including today's dinner.

However, kerosene and no fuels are certainly not enough. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although the cold climate has eliminated a large number of naturally-growing species, of course there are also hardy plants and animals that have survived. The soldiers of the night watchman army have received encampment. After his order, he started collecting firewood and burning for heating.

"Let's go."

"Sir Clifton."

And Ed Stark abandoned his status as a duke, and now he is just an ordinary soldier without any merit. He does not have the official position of his brother Bunyan, so he naturally has to collect firewood himself.

But despite this, no one dared to come forward and humiliate him. After all, there are only more than a thousand soldiers of the real night watchman. The tens of thousands of soldiers in the northern border are only nominal night watchman soldiers. You can go back to your hometown.

The Stark family is still the Stark family, and the ice wolf’s rule in the north is deeply rooted. Although his son is no longer the guardian of the north, he has also changed his name as the future governor of the north, but stayed in King’s Land temporarily as a hostage. That's it.

And Ed's saber at the moment is no longer the two-handed great sword of the family's ancestors, "Ice Ice".

Valyrian Steel's two-handed great sword Hanbing was captured after the Battle of Rushing City, and is now stored in the treasury for ashes, and has not been returned to the Stark family, perhaps as a punishment for this battle.

Also put into the treasury was the "Broken Heart" of the Tali family. Landau Tali disappeared during the Battle of Rushing City. There was no one or a dead body. Only his sword was "Broken Heart". Found it, and then the same income went into the treasury to be dusted.

People are willing to believe that the best star on Westeros, the tough Earl Jiaoling was melted on the battlefield by the dragon flames, and they are also unwilling to believe that he might be hiding in a certain corner of the world in an attempt to come back for revenge.

Ed Stark cut the last firewood with a sword from it~www.NovelMTL.com~ and then exhaled the white mist slightly, bent over to pick them up, and threw them into the campfire.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch Corps, Geor Mormont, and the new Bachelor Paisier, he was trembling with cold, and Colin and others came over.

"Master Ed Stark."

Ed heard the sound and raised his head to see the people approaching him, then stood up straight and bowed his head slightly to salute Geor Mormon.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief."

"There is one thing we want to ask you, Master Stark."

The seriousness of the old Commander-in-Chief Mormont made Ed's heart tighten.

"what?"

"You'll know when you come over and take a look."
