Chapter 290

Across the narrow sea.

Viserys, the fugitive second prince of the former Targaryen dynasty, is having a bar mitzvah, the offspring of Robert's most hated dragon.

A living adult male Targaryen heir is enough to pose a huge challenge to the Baratheon dynasty, even if he has nothing Robert wants to find a killer to kill him.

But now the Targaryen heir is not nothing.

Viserys holds a heavy army and has a vast territory. He has a territory comparable to that of the two dukes in Westeros except for the north. The population base is huge, two main cities, and at the same time the wealthy Pantos. The Iron Throne is eyeing.

The pressure he gave has almost spread throughout the seven kingdoms through the narrow sea, and almost everyone knew that sooner or later a war would break out between the new king and the old king.

And the Baratheon Dynasty is actually not very popular. The reason why it is still able to stand firm now is mainly because many nobles of the Seven Kingdoms have offended the Targaryen family to death, and there is no room for turning back.

The four major families of wolf, deer, fish, and eagle occupy half of the seven kingdoms. These people are the main force of the rebellion, and naturally there is no forgiveness.

There were also many families who fell on the wind and even stabbed Targaryen in the back, the representative of which was the Lannister family.

A lot of unpleasant things happened later.

If Viserys ever fought the Narrow Sea and regained the Iron Throne, House Lannister would not escape reckoning.

At that time, they can figure out where to get on the boat and escape.

but.

Now Robert Baratheon has no time to care about the intelligence on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

At this moment, he was a little bit overwhelmed by the chaos in front of him.

The situation in the north is actually a bit special, mainly because it is vast and sparsely populated.

The area of ​​the northern border is vast, almost equal to the total area of ​​the other six kingdoms, but despite the vast territory of the northern border, the population is extremely sparse, and it is not comparable to the rich south.

The northern territories are covered with vast wastelands, forests, and snow-capped mountains.

This vast and sparsely populated terrain lends itself well to the one-shot-and-run tactics of wildlings.

Moreover, the savage's ability to survive in the wild is extremely good. If you drill into the mountains or forests, the regular army will not be able to find it. If you chase deeply, you will easily be ambushed.

And now they don't have enough soldiers.

Most of them were smashed to death when the Great Wall collapsed, and others were killed by wild men with knives in the chaos of the night.

Soldiers cannot find generals, and soldiers will not be found.

After all, who would have thought that such a big Great Wall would suddenly collapse.

Robert and Eddard Stark, the two commanders, were at Mole Village that night, and Robert was so drunk that he was playing naked with his arms around an equally naked woman.

And Lord Eddard came back to find their unreliable king.

However, at this time, the news of the collapse of the Great Wall was suddenly received, and the two of them looked at each other in dismay.

Then Robert Wine also woke up and hurriedly followed Eddard back to Winterfell, gathering the defeated soldiers along the way.

However, people are not always unlucky.

A boy who likes to laugh will not be too bad. A big boy who likes to laugh like Robert has always had good luck.

Robert once evaded Jon Clinton's pursuit by drilling the bottom of a woman's skirt.

And this time, they discovered the location of Mance Red, the King of Beyond the Wall.

…

Stannis didn't die the night the Wall collapsed, but it was true that he was frightened.

His somewhat bald head was smashed with blood by a stone, and then, under the desperate protection of the guards, broke through and escaped from Castle Black.

Then Stannis did not return to Winterfell, but led his personal guards around the forest.

They panicked and fled into the jungle and couldn't find a way back.

Yet at this moment.

Stannis led a few remaining guards to discover the traces of the suspected King Beyond the Wall, Mance Red.

Mance Rader seemed to be hiding in this dense forest, secretly instructing the savages to do damage. Stannis found this and left quietly, and then spent a long time finding his way back.

However, Stannis still did not return to Winterfell at this time, but Yi Gao was bold. He led his guards to continue wandering and gathered some soldiers who had escaped in the Battle of Castle Black.

Then he led these remnants of defeated soldiers and returned to the jungle.

The Duke of Dragonstone Island was still wearing a bandage on his head, and his whole body was tattered and tattered, and his body still exuded a strong stench.

Yet he was as tenacious as a stone.

Stannis drew his long sword, bravely led the soldiers to charge into the battle, and rushed to the front himself.

After entering this savage tribe hiding in the jungle, after a fierce battle, he personally captured Mance Red, the king outside the Great Wall.

And Mance Reid had just been arrested. He was very calm at first and wanted to hide his identity, but was exposed by a slip of the tongue by another simple-minded subordinate.

Mance Reid was actually really, really unlucky.

The plan he proposed to break it into pieces and destroy it in all directions involved the regular army being exhausted, and in order to reduce the target and prevent the troops of the seven countries from staring at him, only more than 300 savages were left by his side.

However, Mance Red never imagined that hundreds of thousands of savages would run all over the North, and even those with neat legs were about to escape from the North and enter the Hejian Land.

But unfortunately, he was targeted by Stannis and caught.

Stannis doesn't actually know Mance Redder, the King of Beyond the Wall.

He was lying in the snowdrift at that time, and only through some clues and calm inferences, he guessed that this might be the foothold of the King Beyond the Wall.

And if it wasn't for killing these people, it wouldn't be a loss, it could be regarded as recovering the loss of defeat.

So Stannis ran out to gather some remnants of the defeated soldiers, and then recklessly killed him again.

After a fierce battle between the two sides in the jungle, there were only a dozen soldiers left on Stannis' side.

And although the savages resisted very tenaciously, they were also caught alive.

Mance Reader saw that the battle was not good, and he could not run away, so he surrendered very neatly, and his disguise was especially good when he was just caught.

He pretended to be an ordinary savage tribal leader, and even offered to surrender to the regular army to help them encircle and suppress other savages.

And Stannis was initially deceived by Mance Reid's exquisite acting skills.

He also thought that he had not caught the real King Beyond the Wall, and felt a little disappointed.

However, since he didn't catch the King outside the Great Wall, he didn't suffer any loss if he caught a 'Leading Party'.
