Ice and Fire: Conquering the World Starting from the Wall

Although dragons are powerful, they cannot always protect their masters; ultimately, they must become strong themselves.

Fortunately, Bloodraven was once a warrior of exceptional skill. Not only was his archery unparalleled in the Seven Kingdoms, but he also famously shot and killed the rebel leader Damon Blackfyre and his twin sons from a distance during the Battle of the Red Plains, thus quelling the first Blackfyre Rebellion. In addition, his swordsmanship was also top-notch.

At a crucial moment in the battle, he fought a deadly duel with Igor Rivers, the Blackfire faction's most powerful general, who wielded the "Blackfire" sword. The intensity of the battle was second only to the duel between Damon Blackfire and Garwin Corbry.

Although he was eventually blinded in one eye, he still managed to force Han Tie back and hold the battlefield.

Blood Raven is slender and not as tall and imposing as a traditional knight, but he has a unique understanding of swordsmanship. In the memories of Blood Raven that Lynn obtained, these combat skills still exist, but they can only be mastered after a lot of practice and training.

Fortunately, Lynn and Blood Raven were both tall and thin, and even carried the same sword, making their practice much easier.

The only regret is that Lynn's physical condition is far inferior to Blood Raven's, but he is still young, and it's not too late for him to start training now.

In fact, what was more suitable for Lynn to practice was the archery of the Blood Raven. His experience and skills in stance, holding the bow, breathing, and exertion were imprinted in his mind and he could use them almost immediately.

Unfortunately, the bow used by Bloodraven was specially made, not an ordinary yew or elm bow, but a weirwood longbow, which is extremely rare in Westeros.

The weirwood longbow is far more resilient than ordinary wood, and combined with the arm strength that Blood Raven has honed since childhood, it can maintain deadly penetrating power from 300 yards (about 274 meters) away.

This distance far exceeded the effective range of ordinary longbows, and at that time only Blood Raven and his elite Raventooth Guards could achieve it.

Lynn's arm strength is currently quite weak, making it virtually impossible for him to replicate Blood Raven's amazing archery skills. He can only start practicing slowly with a bow, which is much less powerful.

Lynn moved in and out of the fairly spacious tent, shifting left and right, leaving the Dark Sisters in a series of afterimages.

Although it only involves a few basic movements, he gained quite a bit of experience after a day or two.

Meanwhile, Lynn paid the price by getting several blisters on his palms and experiencing intermittent pain in his lower back and knees.

Of course, he understood that this amount of training was far from enough. To reach the level of Blood Raven, in addition to strengthening his physique, he also needed to undergo a lot of sparring and actual combat.

Beside the campfire, "Weeping Blood" was fast asleep, having eaten and drunk its fill. It was now a priority for protection; everyone was counting on it to grow quickly and become a fighting force, a crucial asset in the upcoming plans.

Mans specially selected about ten kinds of prey to send to Bloodlust for "tasting," and finally found that it still preferred sheep meat the most.

Lyanna sewed clothes for him near the tent flap. The starched fur, after being disassembled and re-cut by Kuna, looked much better. Lyanna then finished the job, making minor alterations to make the clothes fit better and more comfortable.

Lynn walked to Lyanna's side, picked up a small piece of fur that had been cut off and gently tossed it into the air. Then, with a "whoosh," he swung his sword and sliced ​​the piece of discarded fur that had been unfolding in mid-air in two.

He went over and picked it up to examine it, finding the cut unusually smooth, demonstrating the sharpness of the "Dark Sisters".

However, the two pieces of fur were different sizes, indicating that Lynn's hands still couldn't keep up with his brain. He knew exactly what angle and force to use to swing the sword, but his hands and feet were always a step behind.

He shook his head, imitated the way Blood Raven remembered him, performed a few sword flourishes, and then sheathed his sword.

After three days of revelry, Kasa formally invited Lynn to Magna's private tent.

By this time, Lynn had changed into a wool sweater and fur clothes, and the Dark Sisters had hung a sword belt around his left waist. Apart from his appearance, demeanor, and the dragon that was always by his side, he was almost indistinguishable from a savage.

The wool sweater is roughly made and can irritate the skin, but thankfully it has a quick-drying undershirt underneath.

The fur coat and pants, meticulously sewn by Kuna and her daughter, fit snugly, were comfortable and warm, making movement much easier than in a spacesuit.

Although Casa has become Magna, his weapons, attire, and attitude toward Lynn remain the same as before.

The people of Thane do not judge status by the richness of their clothing, nor do they distinguish position by seating arrangement; everyone sits around a roaring fire.

An invisible air of authority appeared on Kasa's face, but the potions concocted by the wizards also had some effect on him, making him appear somewhat sallow.

However, he still refused to rest and immediately convened a meeting of the clan's most respected leaders as soon as the celebration ended, with Lynn attending as a guest of honor.

The Thane had their own laws, simple and crude, but better than nothing. The Kasa resolved several accumulated disputes according to tradition (they usually preferred to resort to force), and then began to discuss the future of the clan.

Lynn looked around. Most of the people sitting around were warriors he had saved from the White Walkers. They were all the best of the Thane families, which was why they were qualified to follow Magna.

Having followed Stiefelter before, it's only natural for him to follow Casa now.

There were only three exceptions: one was Sedon, the son of Stie; another was a muscular man with a large beard who wore only a thin garment and was the chief craftsman in charge of smelting and casting; and the last was a drowsy old wizard.

During the discussion, Casa listened attentively without saying a word.

Lynn had previously instructed Nemo to inform Kasa of the entire plan with Mans, so the final topic today is how the Theon people can protect their own interests in this plan.

Because in Mans's plan, they must be the main force to fight off the possible northern army and also be responsible for the siege, which will inevitably result in considerable casualties.

To be fair, the Thane people have lived in the northern canyons for a long time, and are among the northernmost people in the borderlands. Their knowledge and experience are quite limited. All they ever think about is getting more food and steel that is tougher than bronze.

Only when the conversation had run out of things to say did the crowd finally turn their attention to Lynn's face.

The scene felt strangely familiar. If Lynn remembered correctly, the last time he was in the last group of Thern people migrating, they were also discussing among themselves, and then looking at him together like this.

The difference is that last time the Thane wanted him to be Magna, but this time they simply made him King Beyond the Wall.

"Mans promises you priority in choosing the spoils,"

Lynn finally spoke, but in his words he still distinguished himself from Thane and the entire Free Citizens group.

"But I feel that's not enough."

If you free people obey my command, you will receive your own land and people, perhaps even manor houses with watchtowers, and perhaps even stone castles.”
