Chapter 685: North of Westeros
The clanging sound of mules and horses piled up with debris slowly pushed past the crowd of refugees, and the group of hungry refugees looked at the team with some fear, and avoided them to both sides with trepidation, for fear that some trouble would suddenly find their bodies.
The team was also a bit disorganized, and according to Nia's observations, most of them looked badly dressed up except for a few strong, somewhat weird ones, and probably weren't even in any better shape than they were.
But regardless of the civilian population, the army will always be the way it is, and some soldiers in some kind of light armor walk in neat formations on both sides of the crowd, although few in number and scattered, but always a powerful deterrent.
In this chaotic Middle Ages, armor and weapons represented power, and power meant status.
Nia didn't know where these people came from, and she couldn't tell which city these soldiers belonged to, but that didn't mean she couldn't see the quality of this armor, medieval armor was very expensive and scarce, only knights and elite troops had it, as for those ordinary soldiers, they couldn't get them together at all, and sometimes even the weapons were very old.
And the armor on these soldiers is obviously different, and they are even better than the White Harbor City Defenses, and Niya, who is a resident of the big city of White Harbor, still has this eyesight.
But it is a pity that her knowledge is limited, because many civilians in this period may not leave their homeland too far in their lifetime, so she cannot get any valuable speculation from these news, but it only makes her more and more panicked and cramped, for no reason. It's instinctive.
There is no end in sight to the long queue. It's like the confused thoughts of these people like Niya. No one knows who they are or where they are going......
But many times, fate likes to play a joke on people, as if a dramatist wants to deliberately create a dramatic effect, which is difficult to guard.
This team was led by Daenerys and had made it all the way from Storm's End via King's Landing, and of course, it was an exaggeration. With the exception of the remnants of the Unsullied, the others were just ordinary civilians, no different from those who had escaped from White Harbor.
And the real combat power in the team, in addition to Stark and Barry, is the uneven werewolves brought out from King's Landing, with a total number of nearly 10,000, because of the reason for increasing their strength as much as possible, except for those werewolves who really can't control their bloodthirsty ** have not joined, but anyone who can control some of their own werewolves has joined. That's why there are so many of them.
With these werewolves on board, Daenerys' speed of progress suddenly accelerated. In two days back to Ice and Fire, he crossed the King's Road to the north, a speed that had to be staggering for the Middle Ages.
Daenerys took almost all the werewolves in King's Landing, except for the werewolves who were too aggressive and hungry to walk, and she took all those who obeyed Varys's command, and anyway, there was Yi Hustle, and she didn't worry about what would happen.
If it weren't for the fact that King's Landing had already been squandered by werewolves and there wasn't a single living thing, I'm afraid Daenerys wouldn't just be able to take away vampires and werewolves, but would have emptied the entire King's Landing.
King's Landing has a special meaning to Daenerys, it is the capital of the Targaryen dynasty, and Daenerys would not have done it without a special reason.
First of all, she needs strength to resist the aliens, there are too many aliens, she needs to concentrate all the power that can be used, and secondly, werewolves are a restless factor, obviously they are much stronger than humans, and they are very contagious, with Daenerys's wisdom, she has already thought of the situation that there will be no humans in the entire Westeros continent in the future, all of them are werewolves.
That's obviously not good, and although Daenerys is known as the Mother of Dragons, she still likes humans and doesn't want to be the Mother of Wolves.
So these werewolves must be concentrated under her eyelids, where they can be controlled, and no one can be left out to completely eradicate this terrible contagion.
And Daenerys, who gathered all the werewolves together...... And why don't you let the strangers and werewolves lose both, and finally die out completely, although Daenerys is determined to ascend to the Iron Throne, but the innate vigilance and defensiveness of aliens other than humans, like other kings, has not diminished in the slightest.
Of course, the idea is good, but it is difficult to do, this thing will not happen, because Varys does not know this, he knows Daenerys's little abacus, but he also knows that Daenerys must not know as much about werewolves as he does.
She didn't know that as long as she lived...... The werewolf race can always develop, it is nothing more than the size and speed of the development of the group.
And if some werewolves survive the battle, Varys is even confident that he will soon take over a territory and develop it into a territory of all his descendants.
But...... Before facing the endless army of strangers, Varys didn't have much confidence in the surviving werewolves.
The reason why he agreed to help Daenerys was because he had to agree because of his strength, and the other was also to have a good relationship with Daenerys and even make a good name on the mainland.
At the very least, it can't be the existence of everyone shouting and killing, werewolves are the first time that they have appeared in the land of Westeros, so the first impression is important, and Varys must establish his race as an intelligent alien race like the Green Prophet.
It is better to be able to live in peace with humans, and then not to be besieged by humans, facing a steady stream of provocations from different countries and regions, so that Varys will have time to develop slowly, as for the future...... More on that later.
So the two guys with their own ghosts hit it off, and they set off together to go to the northernmost front line of the mainland, everyone thought that their calculations had been reached, and everyone thought that the other party's calculations would not have any impact on them, but no one knew the specifics.
However, it seems that Varys is still a little more cunning. than Daenerys, the new queen. More calculated.
Although Daenerys has Tyrion by her side to help. But Varys had been a good friend in the kingdom with Tyrion...... Tyrion hadn't gotten anything cheap with Varys.
The addition of werewolves has greatly increased the speed of Daenerys' advancement, not to mention the quality of werewolves themselves, even hungry werewolves are far more powerful than humans, and it is possible to burst out more powerful because of enduring hunger.
Although they are unable to run all night in their human form, they are extremely fast on their feet, and werewolves with sufficient physical strength can almost continue to run.
Of course, there is still no change in those ordinary human beings, such as the Unsullied and the like, and the speed of daily progress still does not change much. And at this time, those werewolves who were left behind in King's Landing, unable to control their bloodthirsty ** and aggressiveness, had almost degenerated into beasts, between magical creatures and humans, came in handy.
In order not to slow down the journey, Yi Huan cursed them again with magic before reappearing, transforming them from werewolves into wolves, a huge and terrifying wild wolf.
Then Yi Huan deprived them of their ability to think, and made them into a beast that would only obey orders. The rest is much easier, whether it's carrying or pulling. The remaining few thousand civilians and a handful of Unsullied, as well as a few soldiers in the demon-destroyed city, could not keep up with the werewolves.
Of course...... This also consumed a lot of Yi Huan's mana, but fortunately, his mana that had just been replenished from Neverland was very abundant and sufficient, and it was completely fine to support these spells.
So Daenerys hurried along the way, and finally unexpectedly collided with Bran and the others who were evacuated from White Harbor, which is indeed a very interesting thing, I don't know if Daenerys did it deliberately.
Because although Daenerys is the rightful heir of the Targaryen dynasty, the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and many nobles have not recognized it, and each of them wants to create an opportunity to seize the Iron Throne, and once Daenerys is recognized, it is obvious that when he takes the Iron Throne again, he will be a monarch killer.
Although this title has no practical meaning among the people, it is different for many nobles, in this year when the glory of nobility is still prevalent, the treacherous title of monarch killer will make a mess of many things, otherwise how could Robert's war of usurpers and Lannister's war of the five kings be fought so hard.
The Kingkiller is not a recognized king.
Moreover, the Mandalay family who ruled White Harbor and the Stark family of Bran were not nobles in the ordinary sense, the former was a vassal of the latter, and the latter was a close friend of the previous king Baratheon, and in a sense, it was Robert Baratheon who ended the rule of the Targaryens and took the king of the Seven Kingdoms from them.
In this way, I am afraid that in the end, even if everyone acknowledges Daenerys, neither of them will be, just like the pseudo-king Lannister will not make friends with Baratheon, because many other nobles may not be good, but the Stark family, who have always supported Baratheon, may not be.
Maybe Bran won't make such a choice, after all, the Stark family has almost become history, and the only heir, Bran, has become the inheritor of the Green Prophet, so how to choose the result depends on how Bran decides.
But in any case, with Yi Hustle, this team from White Harbor will not cause any trouble, even if he is accompanied by a lot of White Harbor soldiers, which is probably what Daenerys wants to see, because if the Stark, the family that supports the puppet king, is recovered, then it will become a good banner, so that Daenerys's next journey to seize the Iron Throne will be smoother.
Yi Huan didn't care about these things, and he wasn't curious, although he knew most of the situations, but he wouldn't take the initiative to participate, because the problems about demons in the world of ice and fire had basically been solved, and the reason why he stayed here was because the coordinates of cracking the space magic didn't affect it anywhere, it was to solve the matter of the invasion of strange ghosts.
Or rather...... Help Stark fulfill his so-called wish in line with his sense of justice, after all, Stark also made a lot of efforts to deal with demons, and Yi Huan helped him to worry about the problem of the strangers in the world of ice and fire.
This kind of emotion and logic can still be grasped, even if there was no soul before, not to mention that his soul energy is very abundant at this time.
Yi Huan didn't care about these things, but he was very interested in the magic of the Green Prophet, and he had decided to take the time to go to Branstark to see how the magic of the Ice and Fire World differed from other worlds, but for a low demon plane, Yi Huan didn't have much hope.
There may be one or two very practical magic, but the more advanced theories may not be perfect.
As for negotiating and resisting the strangers, leave it to Daenerys and Stark, and I believe that Stark, who is bored now, will be happy to take this matter......
Two days ago, when Yi Huan returned to the world of ice and fire from Neverland, Stark's injuries had already healed most of them, and his injuries under the protection of the armor were not fatal, although they were a little serious, but they also treated him before Yi Huan left, so in one day in Neverland, that is, in the two days of Ice and Fire, Stark had already healed with the help of the medical machinery and medicines he brought.
On the contrary, Barry has just woken up from a coma, but his condition is not very good, Barry, who was controlled by the demon, has greatly overdrawn the strength in his body, and now he is seriously out of strength, and even the speed force is in a normal and abnormal state.
Of course, this is temporary, as Barry gradually recovers, his speed power will also be completely restored, and I am afraid that it will be greatly increased because of this overdraft of potential, if it weren't for Yi Huan's determination that the demon can't directly control the superhero, he probably wondered if Lucifer had long planned to take this opportunity to improve the strength of the new human.
However, even after several confirmations, Yi Huan still didn't fully believe it, and he still had reservations about it, but Yi Huan really didn't want to make enemies with the new humans, the number of magical creatures was scarce enough, and the number of wizards was even less, and it was obviously unwise to continue to erect enemies for himself.
Yi Huan glanced at Barry, who was dangling beside him, and then did not speak, but although Barry was seriously depleted at this time, it was not good news for him.
Because after his recovery, his strength has increased greatly, so that Barry will be more sure that he will successfully accelerate through the barrier of the world and the turbulence of the inner world, plus the time emission instrument in Stark's hand made according to the principle of the cosmic Rubik's cube can be locked to the world where Stark is located, so it will not be a problem for the two of them to return.
