Chapter 295 The Calamity of the Savage
In the afternoon, the sun wears transparent yarn.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"The King Beyond the Wall, Mance Red, has been captured by Stannis."
Ramsay Snow got a chair and sat beside Viserys, and there were only two people in the empty study.
Viserys sat behind his desk with the latest intel from the other side of the Narrow Sea in his hand.
This is the information that has just been sent back from there. Although it has been a long time, it is no longer news when it arrives here.
But there is no way.
Rams hurried over after receiving the information.
Also in his hand is a handwritten letter from his father, Lord Dreadfort, Ruth Bolton.
But this letter was not addressed to his illegitimate son Ramsay Snow, but to Viserys.
Although Ramsay was his illegitimate son, Roose Bolton only regarded him as a tool man, not his own son.
Sending him to Viserys was a double bet.
It's just that Roose Bolton didn't expect Ramsay to get some reuse in Viserys, so Ramsay grew into a more important tool person.
At least according to Roose Bolton.
"The usurper burned each other alive."
Rams continued to explain.
This incident still caused an uproar in the North.
But in the area south of Zejing, there were no waves. For the people in the south, the king beyond the Great Wall had no idea at all.
Even the wildlings are just creatures of legend.
giant? Cannibals?
How could these things really exist?
However, due to the lack of news, most farmers in the south still do not know that a large number of savage people have fled to the area south of Zejing.
They turned into pieces and hid in the deep mountains and forests during the day to avoid the pursuit of the noble army, and at night they came out to attack and plunder the surrounding villages and towns recklessly.
There have been many cases of savage slaughtering villages in the vicinity of Twin Rivers and Haijiang City.
Old Frey of the Twins was said to be furious when he heard about it, but he didn't dare to scold King Robert, but he could only scold the Northlanders for being food buckets, even allowing the savages to escape from the neck and causing his property to suffer.
Then old Frey sent his sons to lead the soldiers of House Frey to capture these wildlings and bring them to justice.
However, these savages are very cunning and extremely sensitive to the smell of danger.
They wreak havoc here today and go to the other side tomorrow to wreak havoc.
One shot in the east, one shot in the west.
This made old Foyle's eldest son, Steve Lun Foyle, depressed.
Although the soldiers of the family were neglected in training, their combat effectiveness was not high, but they also had a lot of cavalry under their command.
However, these savages are always led by the nose, especially these savages like to drill into the mountains.
Every time Steve and Son led the Freys' soldiers to catch up with these nasty savages. They headed into the mountains and forests.
The infantry had long since fallen behind, and the cavalry had no choice but to dismount and walk in.
However, as soon as the soldiers led by Steve Lun and Lyman Frey and their sons dismounted and chased in, they were ambushed by savages.
A heavy rain of stones and arrows fell, and many soldiers were killed and injured, and they fled in a hurry.
But it's not actually how strong the Savages are, but that the sons of the Frey family are too rubbish.
And on the side of Haijiang City, it is a clear response.
The main force of a group of savages suddenly attacked Haijiang City, seemingly wanting to seize the castle and town, capture the ships here, and then flee overseas by boat.
This is the strategy set by Mance Reid, the King of Beyond the Wall, for the wild people. Don't try to fight with the king's army, don't try to resist, escape, just run away, desperately flee to the warmer places in the south.
If you can take a port, it is better to take a few ships and escape to Essos.
There was nothing wrong with Mance Rader's plan, and even though he was burned alive, more wildlings survived.
He doesn't care about the life and death of the people after the Great Wall, everyone is for themselves, they themselves are about to die, and who cares whether others can survive or not.
So this group of savages broke into pieces and fled desperately to the south, not fighting the nobles and the king's army, but ran into the mountains and forests when they encountered them.
However, this group of savage tribes that attacked Haijiang City seemed to be in the wrong direction.
Even if they captured Haijiang City and still have ships, they can only lead to the Iron Islands from here.
And if you want to go to the more prosperous and prosperous continent of Essos, you need to bypass the Summer Sea before you can reach the continent of Essos.
However, there is the Melister family in Haijiang City, and Earl Jason is not a waste like the little Freys.
The valiant earl once led the army to stubbornly resist the attack of the ironmen, beheaded the sons of the great king of Balon, and drove them all into the sea.
Now this group of savages really kicked the iron plate when they wanted to attack Haijiang City.
Then Jason Melister led the soldiers of Haijiang City directly out of the city, defeated the attack of the wild people, cut off thousands of human heads, and drove the wild people into the deep mountains of Barren Stone City in one breath.
The defeated savages fled towards the west.
And the other side.
The strongest 'fortress' in the valley, there are a large number of mountain clan tribes living in the Mingyue Mountains.
A savage seems to have appeared here as well.
However, these wildling tribes did not conflict with the high mountain clan tribes. Both of them were tribal clans that did not obey the king and did not obey the control of the Duke of the Eagle's Nest City, and mainly depended on looting for a living.
They hid in the deep mountains, and the knights of the valley could not enter the mountains to destroy them. Instead, they often encountered ambushes. The high mountain clans have always been the confidants of the valley.
Now the wildling tribes and the mountain clan tribes seem to join hands, and they are frantically active in the Green Fork River, the King's Road, and even the towns and villages in the valleys, looting caravans and travelers.
The entire town along the Mingyue Mountains was disturbed, and the beacon was everywhere.
The devastation caused by the influx of hundreds of thousands of wildlings into the Seven Kingdoms continues, spreading rapidly across regions like a disease.
Now the traces of the savage have appeared in the north, the river, the west, and the valley one after another.
However, this influence continued to advance southward.
Perhaps these wildlings will be seen around King's Landing and the Reach soon.
Jon Arryn, the former Prime Minister of King's Landing left behind, is struggling with these things.
And Viserys, who was thousands of miles away, looked at the information with relish.
In fact, the destruction of the wild people is only a disease of scabies, and it is not enough to subvert the rule of the Iron Throne.
Because other than the battle of Haijiang City, these savages did not systematically attack the castle, they just harassed the villages and towns.
If they want to attack King's Landing, they are really courting death.
But it's this little itchiness that is so annoying.
It is impossible for Jon Arryn to launch a conscription in the name of the king again, and lead an army to run around the world to wipe out these annoying wildlings one by one.
You can only let the nobles from all over the world sweep the snow in front of their doors, not just drive them around.
Although the battle of Haijiang City was a great victory, the wildlings who were driven to the Western Territory caused a lot of damage in the local area, which attracted protests from Casterly Rock City.
Take care of your own family's affairs, don't expect the king to wipe your ass, Jon Arryn is most afraid of the fact that these nobles use wildlings as a means of political struggle.
The ones that can kill don't kill, just drive them to the competitor's territory and give them a headache is enough.
Time flies by.
In an instant, Robert led his troops to the North, and it had been almost a year since he left King's Landing.
However, at this time, another thing happened that made Jon Arryn, who was already busy, even more anxious.
That is, a rumor suddenly spread in the community of King's Landing.
Queen Cersei is pregnant.
