Chapter 250

Robb's voice fell.

It was still snowing heavily outside the house, the world was covered in silver, and a group of black crows fell from the sky.

fluttering--

He landed on the eaves of the room, his scarlet eyes shone brightly, he turned his head slightly to the left and right, and then pecked at the feathers on his body.

I don't know if the crow is looking at the three little devils below, or the tired woman in the room who just finished giving birth.

Eddard Stark's back was gone, and he naturally knew the news that the White Walkers had reappeared earlier than Viserys.

In fact, he had already received the news when his brother Bunyan led the Rangers back from the Ghost Forest.

This is thousands of years since the last White Walker resurrection in human history, and the first time there is a record of the White Walker.

Although there have been reports of White Walker sightings every few years, most of these have been characterized as rumors, and the origins are some rare animals that have not been seen before.

As a result, people gradually stopped believing in the story of the White Walkers.

However, this time Bunyan reported to Jeor Mormont, commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, as soon as he returned to the Great Wall, but the commander-in-chief was skeptical.

Then Bunyan wrote a letter and asked others to send it to Winterfell.

Old Bearhead didn't believe him, but Eddard Stark believed his brother wouldn't go in vain.

Therefore, Winterfell has been actively preparing since a long time ago, hoarding food and grass to train soldiers.

Then came the expedition of the Night's Watch, which was defeated by the attack of the White Walkers, confirming the existence of the White Walkers.

Ed received this bad news overnight, and stayed up all night. After careful consideration, he wrote a letter of help again and sent it to King's Landing.

And his good brother Robert received a request from the North for help. Naturally, he believed Ed's words unconditionally and prepared to organize soldiers to support the North.

But his decision was rejected by the rest of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. Of course, they did not openly violate the king's call, but found various reasons to shirk.

Even the Tyrell family, who had just entered into a marriage contract with the royal family, politely expressed their refusal. Only the two brothers of the Baratheon family were clearly willing to support their elder brother.

While the rest of the families have various reasons, the final reasons and ideas are also very simple, all for self-protection.

For 8,000 years, the news of the White Walkers' revival has been pouring out, but the White Walkers have never really recovered.

And this winter, except for Dorne, the rest of the place is not easy, and everyone has no energy to accompany the North to play the game of "The White Walkers".

Even if the Dornish people are not affected by the winter, the Dornish people who are used to living in a hot environment cannot go to support the north, otherwise half of them will freeze to death on the way, and the other half will take the opportunity to slip away.

However, when King Robert was refuted, and the nobles secretly sent people to test his words and persuade him not to listen to the lies of the northerners, it was very annoying.

Mormont, commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, once again sent a letter of help to all parts of the country, this time old Mormont confirmed in the letter that the White Walkers had really reappeared.

If the rest of the House doesn't believe it, they're willing to go get a White Walker to King's Landing, and his letter for help is endorsed by the Citadel.

A group of doctors from the Citadel are ready to set off for the Great Wall of Extremis to witness the existence of the White Walkers with their own eyes.

With a series of affirmations from the Stark family, King Robert, the Night's Watch Legion, etc., this time, the major families in the Seven Kingdoms are a little skeptical.

So they each dispatched a part of the army to gather in King's Landing, but the number of this coalition army is still not very large.

When not really facing the crisis of life and death, the major families still retain the idea of ​​​​preserving their strength.

After all, fighting costs money. Soldiers' lives, food, armaments, and even a trip to the north will cost a lot of money.

However, although the number is not very large, it is better than nothing. King Robert himself actually has such an idea and did not bring out too many royal soldiers.

The crisis of the White Walkers is already 8,000 years ago, and people have long forgotten the threat of the White Walkers.

Even if the White Walkers really made a comeback, the Seven Kingdoms didn't take him too seriously, believing that the Great Wall could stop him.

Subsequently.

Robert Baratheon personally led the coalition and marched north to support the North, while his adoptive father, Jon Arryn, stayed behind in King's Landing to preside over the overall situation.

Now the mighty army has stretched out for several kilometers, and it seems that it has just reached the neck along the King's Road.

The army held high the banners of the various houses of the coalition, among which was the crowned stag of House Baratheon.

The Baratheon family, as the royal family, paid the most money this time, and supported their good brother.

And Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, has been hurrying to train troops during this time, and he didn't even spend much time with his wife during childbirth. When he saw that his wife was safe and sound, he immediately did not delay for a moment.

Because according to the reports of the Night's Watch, more and more wildlings have been driven out of the Great Wall during this time.

There were even some wildlings who tried to cross the Great Wall of Despair, but were beaten back by the Night's Watch Corps, which had been augmented with manpower, and several fierce clashes broke out between the two sides.

However, this is not the main force of the Savage Legion, just some wandering Savage tribes.

Hundreds of thousands of free people have gathered in the real wildling kingdom beyond the Great Wall. They have been divided into hundreds of different cultures, clans, and villages, who once fought each other and fell into cannibalism.

However, now these hundreds of thousands of free people and hundreds of different tribes have all been united under the command of a king beyond the frontier.

Mance Reid.

He united all the wildling tribes and single-handedly created a magnificent kingdom of free people.

The wildlings discovered the White Walkers earlier than the Night's Watch who hid behind the Great Wall, so they were driven towards the Great Wall.

Hundreds of thousands of wildlings from the real big army of the Freedmen Kingdom are on their way.

The front line of the Night's Watch was under great pressure, and the cloud of war was almost on the verge of breaking out.

Therefore, Eddard Stark also had to order the conscription. Now two armies from the north have been stationed on the Great Wall of Desperation, which has greatly supplemented the severely understaffed Night's Watch Legion.

Soldiers could be seen everywhere on the 700-foot-high, 300-mile-long Wall of Despair.

While that was still not enough to stop a small group of wildlings from sneaking over, more people were killed by misses than by the Night's Watch.

But in the future, it can stop a large army of wildlings from attacking.

"Keep all the wildlings out of the Great Wall!"

The White Walkers haven't seen much yet, but the cloud of war between the Savage Kingdom and the Seven Kingdoms has loomed over the land.
