Chapter 287 Human Coalition
And the situation in Westeros right now is really a mess.
There are hundreds of tribes of savages, each with different cultures and even races, and they do not get together, but run around.
Because they knew very well that they could not beat the regular army of the coalition with the stick in their hand, and the opponent's sword was sharper, and there was armor.
Armor is the biggest killer, even more important than high-quality weapons. A soldier in armor can easily deal with five or six farmers with wooden sticks.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Mance Reid, the King of Beyond the Walls, had no hope that he could really set up a battle to defeat the coalition forces of the Seven Nations head-on.
Their only chance was to capture Robert alive when the Wall collapsed, not even to kill each other.
Because a dead king is just a dead fat man, the nobles of King's Landing can compromise with each other at any time and introduce a new king to take his place.
And a living king is an important hostage who can coerce them to retreat and extort land and food.
But unfortunately... King Robert was so happy that night that he went to prostitutes.
Mance Rader didn't even think that the king would be such a Cao Dan.
A combination of mishaps led to the failure of the plan.
But since he couldn't catch the living king, Mance Reid had already had an alternative, so he even changed his direction.
The King beyond the Great Wall directly ordered that after crossing the Great Wall, the savage kingdom was broken into pieces, with tribes as units, and hundreds of tribes fought each other.
Don't resist, don't seek war, just flee to the south.
Run as far as you can, and the farther south the better.
Because the people after the Wall don't know how scary the White Walkers are, and the wild people have fought the White Walkers several times in the past few months.
Every time they fought, the losses were extremely heavy, and they knew very well the horror and horror of the White Walkers.
Although they still have human faces, they are already two completely different beings from humans.
They don't breathe, they don't eat. Not afraid of the cold, even Mance Reid once saw a group of dead men come out from under the sea.
It's really walking out, stepping on the bottom of the sea without even swimming, because these people don't need to breathe.
But this is only a shallow sea, and no one knows whether the water pressure of the deep sea can have an effect on these dead people, but it still makes Mance Red feel terrified.
And these dead people will kill all the creatures they see, and it is difficult for birds and beasts to escape.
Even as the White Walkers gradually descended from the land of winter, the cold of death gradually invaded, and even the hardy trees outside the Great Wall were frozen to death.
These White Walkers and their minions are like death, and there is no life to exist wherever they go.
Therefore, these savages have no resistance at all in the face of the White Walkers, and just want to leave the Wall and flee all the way south.
Of course, it would be even better if you could attack a port halfway and seize the ship and flee across the narrow sea.
This is Mance Reader's second plan.
The current situation in the north is that hundreds of thousands of savages have crossed the Great Wall and started to do damage like locusts, attacking villages and looting food.
They even grabbed a lot of weapons and equipment, and the armament of the wild people became stronger and stronger.
The regular army, which is scarce in number, is suffocated and unable to use its strength, because the opponent simply does not set up a position to fight you head-to-head.
There were even occasional careless regulars who were ambushed by savages, and by the time other friendly troops arrived, these soldiers had already died tragically.
The armor and clothes on his body were all stripped clean, leaving only the naked corpses lying on the ground in the wind and snow.
The savages got another wave of equipment, their strength increased a little, and then they went away.
…
The news spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms before it reached Viserys.
All the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms who hadn't paid attention to it before knew that things were tricky.
However, what was unexpected was that they did not immediately send more troops to support King Robert in suppressing the wildlings.
Instead, they seized the time to send troops to block off the main junctions entering the territory.
Prevent these fleeing savages from entering their own territory to do damage and cause property damage.
But later, I felt that it was really impossible to hang face and honor in this way. The king was still fighting on the front line, and they were cowering in the rear.
And the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn, who stayed in King's Landing, issued many summoning orders one after another.
Ask the knights and soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms to obey the king's call to expedition to the north, sweep the incoming wildlings, and fight against the White Walkers that may appear.
So Renly Baratheon of Stormland, the little duke, took the lead in supporting his brother, but he did not go out in person, but entrusted another earl to lead the army of Baratheon's hometown to the north.
Then came the second response from the West.
The wily Duke Tywin Lannister is also a well-known commander in the Seven Kingdoms, but he also stayed behind in Casterly Rock City to preside over the overall situation, and sent other counts in the Western Region to lead troops to increase the king.
Next is the king's new in-laws.
Although both the wild and the White Walkers may not be able to threaten the Reach farther south.
And the Tyrell family in High Court is not good at war, but at this juncture other nobles have expressed their opinions one after another, and he must also show his attitude.
Just a little reluctant.
And Gudi naturally need not say more, they do not need to express their position.
Although Jon Arryn has not been in the valley for many years, his control over this place is declining, but the prestige of the Arryn family is still there, and the knights of the valley are already on their way to the north.
This time, the major families in the Seven Kingdoms are also really moving. They sent a large number of troops. The combined army has a total of 60,000 people in one place. Even Dorn did not continue to paddle this time, but sent them out. thousands.
Because although Dorne and Targaryen are allied, and the threat of the White Walkers is far away, but after all, they are in the same land, and things are scary.
This army of more than 60,000 people, including 5,500 knights, officially broke the record that Westeros formed the largest army in history when Aegon conquered Westeros about three hundred years ago.
At that time, Loren Lannister, King of Casterly Rock, and Menne Gardener IX, King of the Reach, joined nearly fifty-five thousand men in Golden Tree City to resist Aegon Targaryen.
But now the Seven Kingdoms still have reservations, a total of 60,000 troops have formed a human alliance to resist the invasion of the White Walkers, and they have gone straight to Winterfell.
It took a long time for the formation of the human coalition to advance.
Because of the distance between the sea and the serious delay in the transmission of information, it was the end of September when this information fell into the hands of Viserys.
There is no golden autumn in September in Pantos, but an increasingly cold wind.
The changing seasons over the years made Viserys a little uncomfortable at first, but the residents living here did not feel any discomfort, just as it should be.
Viserys did not know whether such a long rotation of the seasons was caused by special astronomical and geographical influences, or whether it was caused by the 'fighting' of the legendary gods who were far away from each other.
At the moment, he was standing on the tower of the palace wearing a plush snow-white cloak, overlooking the endless sea.
His bar mitzvah is under intense preparation.
