Game of Thrones: From King of Elden to Teen Wolf Lord

Chapter 69 Return to Winterfell

Robb did not stay long in Barrow Hall.

More than 5000 ironborn prisoners were sent to Moat Cailin, and Steveron Frey took over.

All 53 warships were stationed in the Relang River, and soldiers from the stream area and the wasteland hall were responsible for guarding them.

In addition, Robb also issued a conscription order to White Harbor, asking people who are familiar with warships and maritime affairs to come and manage it.

White Harbor is the only port city in the North. Robb's navy is still in its infancy and needs professional people to take charge.

With the follow-up arrangements for the Battle of the Red Wave River almost complete, Robb took the wolf cavalry north to prepare for a trip to Winterfell.

The members of the Stark family have been separated for too long. These family members are also important contributors to Robb's rule. The blood connection between the family members far exceeds the interest relationship between other vassals and themselves.

"Winter is coming."

On the way back, Robb saw that the snow on the King's Road seemed to be thicker than when he came out, and he knew that the long winter in Westeros was coming.

Little Jon followed Robb's left side on horseback, also feeling a little melancholy: "Your Majesty, winter is coming, and many people in the North will starve to death again."

Winter in the North is very difficult. In the past, when winter entered, the area around Winterfell would be crowded with people from all over the North.

They did not have enough ability to withstand the cold winter, so they came to the Stark family's territory to ask for protection. Here, they might freeze to death, or they might survive the cold winter.

The Stark family is like this, hoarding supplies in the summer, waiting for the cold winter, and taking the people of the North through the long years of more than 8000 years, surviving each cold winter.

Therefore, the feelings and loyalty of the people in the North towards the Stark family are incomparable and incomprehensible to other places.

Robb glanced at the snow: "This winter won't be so hard anymore."

Daisy Mormont, who was on Robb's right, also said with emotion: "I heard that when the cold winter came in the North, there would be Starks taking the men from the North to fight south. Their purpose was to die in the south. Save food in the North.”

Little Jon laughed: "We also went south this year, but not to die in battle. We also robbed a lot of food from the Lannister family."

Robb shook his head: "The Western Territory alone cannot support the people of the Northern Territory through this winter. Moreover, we are still at war, and the food consumption is astronomical."

So the marriage with Highgarden is very important now.

The wealth of Highgarden far exceeds that of the North. Together with the Stormlands, it can supply the food and fodder needed for a hundred thousand troops to go on an expedition.

If he can get the support of Highgarden, plus the supplies from the Riverlands he controls, as well as the materials snatched from the West, he can support Robb in launching foreign wars and feed the people in the North through the winter.

But there is still a problem here: if High Court can be united, how can High Court's food be delivered to the north?

Not to mention the North, there are two rival duchies separated between the Riverlands and Highgarden. If you take the King's Road, you will basically be sending supplies to each other.

So Robb chose to lay out the sea route, and now all the western sea of ​​Westeros is under the control of the Iron Islands.

The Iron Islands are Robb's main goal now.

Join forces with Highgarden to seize the Iron Islands and bring food over.

Robb had to do these two things before he ran out of supplies.

The first thing, Catelyn is doing, Robb is doing too.

Although on the surface it was Caitlin and Highgarden negotiating a marriage, Robb knew that the Highgarden family just wanted to be a queen family. They didn't care who the king was. What they cared about was that that person had to be the king.

Therefore, Robb's record and the territory he controls are the bargaining chips on Caitlin's negotiation table.

The battle in the Whispering Forest, the attack on the camp in Riverrun City, the sweep of the Riverlands, and the battle on the Relang River.These five battles allowed Robb to completely conquer the Riverlands and integrate the dissatisfied Stark families in the north.

His Majesty Robb's reputation is at its peak, and his popularity sweeps across the entire continent.

After Renly's death, Highgarden could only choose between himself and Joffrey.

At that point it's up to Caitlin's diplomacy.

The second thing is to capture the Iron Islands. This matter is not only related to Highgarden's food and grass, but also related to Robb's subsequent system reform, so it can only be done by Robb himself.

Now Robb needs to train a qualified navy, mobilize food and grass from various places, and improve the morale of the soldiers.

'Three months, three months to take the Iron Islands. '

Robb calculated in his mind that this time should be enough.

Going to Winterfell now is to make preliminary preparations for the attack on the Iron Islands.

-

The cavalry advanced very quickly, and there were not many of them, so there was not that much encumbrance.

Robb only spent a third of the time he had set out to see the walls of Winterfell again.

Different from the bustling scene when we set off, Winterfell at this time was a little lonely.

On the city wall, two lonely flags hung.

They are the direwolf flag of Stark and the white mermaid flag of House Manderly on a blue and green background in White Harbor.

The news of Robb's return spread back to Winterfell early, and members of the Stark family came to the city gate to welcome their eldest brother.

When Sansa Stark saw her eldest brother coming back, she dismounted and ran into his arms, crying: "Robb...father...Arya..."

She shouted the names of her father and sister over and over again. Everything in King's Landing seemed like a nightmare. Even if she returned to Winterfell, she would still see Joffrey's ugly smiling face in her dreams.

The scene of her father being beheaded appeared in her mind from time to time, and she was only a 14-year-old child.

But in Winterfell, she only had her younger brothers, and they were always in fear. Even if the news came back that Robb had won the battle, they were still scared.

He was afraid that the next news coming back would be that Robb was defeated and would never come back like his father.

Now that she saw her eldest brother, Sansa finally no longer had to pretend to be strong, and she cried unbridledly in his arms.

Robb patted Sansa's back gently to calm her down.

"We haven't seen you for a year, and you have grown so tall. Girls do grow much faster than boys at this time."

Sansa's nose turned red from crying: "I lost Arya..."

She used to hate the sister who only knew how to wield knives and guns and didn't learn how to be a female celebrity.

But after spending some time in King's Landing and experiencing various dark power struggles, she finally understood that only her family was the most important.

They even thought about marrying themselves to a little devil!
If it hadn't been for Robb's gift and the imp's strong opposition, she might have become a Lannister!
Robb smiled and comforted: "What are you worried about? I know you don't like to hear it, but Arya is much smarter than Xiao Ke. She doesn't need me to redeem her, she can escape on her own. I guess she will be able to get along with her soon." We met."
