Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 79 78. No way
Winterfell.

As the provincial capital of the northern border, it covers a wide area and is the largest city in the northern border.

Theon marched for several days, during which time a large number of northern nobles gathered in Winterfell.

In order to resist Theon's 2 people, they can be said to have pulled out all the men in their territory.

More than 8000 people were gathered abruptly.

But even if Xi En divides his troops into three groups, he still has [-] soldiers.

Hejian suddenly dispatched [-] troops, which far exceeded the expectations of the northern border.

During the time the Tullys ruled the Riverlands, the army never numbered more than forty thousand.

Only the rich West Territory and the rich Reach Land can have an army of [-] or more!
In addition, each army has between 2 and 4 people.

But they really did not expect Hejian to send [-] troops.

And according to intelligence, the 2 people who came straight to Winterfell were well-equipped and abundant in various supplies.

"This is a tough battle, how long can our food last?" asked a northern nobleman.

However, after he finished speaking, the scene was unusually quiet, obviously their food was very pessimistic.

"At most half a month, there will be nearly 2 people. If there is no food in the future, they will definitely disperse and even cause turmoil."

Looking at the worried nobles below, Bran sighed secretly.

There is no way this war can be won.

There are 8000 old, weak, sick and disabled people, and there is no chance of winning against the opponent's [-] young and elite.

"Perhaps we can bow to Theon Greyjoy," Bran said.

"what?"

"This is impossible!"

"The Northerners will never surrender!"

Hearing the words of the nobles below, Bran said, "Then kill you all?"

This sentence made the northern nobles dumbfounded. The northerners are very straightforward and brave, but it doesn't mean that they are not afraid of death, and no one wants to die.

"Everyone, the Bolton family is weaker than us, how long do you think Bolton can last?"

Bran asked the most critical question.

"The battlefield is in the northern border. We can't fight and rob at the same time, let alone leave Winterfell. When Theon's army meets, we can stop 2 people. Can we stop 5 people?"

Finally Bran said: "I can go and talk to Theon, sometimes problems can be solved without war."

In the end, everyone discussed and decided that Bran would bring 1 people to meet Theon on his own initiative.

On the other side, Theon was warming up in the big tent at the moment, and several generals were discussing whether to directly attack Winterfell or besiege Winterfell.

Theon stroked Zeus's feathers, thinking about whether to besiege or attack the city.

For the Hejian land army with abundant supplies, besieging the city is the best way, with the least casualties.

But what Theon wanted more was to attack the city and save time. Taking the siege equipment in the riverland, it would not be difficult to take down Winterfell.

Theon had lived in Winterfell for a long time and knew which of the gates in Winterfell was the weakest.

At this moment, a soldier came in and reported, "Your Majesty, an envoy from the Stark family wants to see you."

"Huh? The Stark family? Let him in." Theon ordered.

There is a high probability that the Stark family came to seek peace, and this is still due to the fact that Calim Bay and White Harbor did not fall.

Thanks Roose Bolton!

Soon, a strong man with a beard walked in, which fits the characteristics of a northerner!
"Your Majesty, the King of the North would like to meet with you." The envoy didn't beat around the bush, but went straight to the point and said what he wanted to do.

"Bran wants to see me? Yes, where can we meet?" Theon readily agreed.

"At Charcoal Fire Castle, the King of the North is waiting for you at Charcoal Fire Castle." The messenger said.

Charcoal Castle is located not far from Winterfell, and it is the only way Theon's marching route must pass.

"Okay, go tell Bran I'll be there, tomorrow."

Hearing the words, the envoy immediately bowed down to salute, and then left in a hurry.

It wasn't until they left the military camp in Hejian that the Northern Envoy let out a long sigh of relief.

When they entered the barracks just now, the Hejian soldiers had strict military discipline, and their armor and weapons exuded a sharp cold light.

And the food they ate was simply better than some of the little nobles in the northern border.

He saw a cook cook pieces of meat in a pot with salt as white as snow!

That should be refined salt produced in the Iron Islands, which many small nobles cannot afford.

Thinking of this, the messenger speeded up, he needed to bring the information back quickly.

The bottom line of their negotiations will change.

Wait for the envoy to return to the battalion commander of the northern border army.

Bran was sitting on a chair, stroking the direwolf Summer's head with one hand.

With silver hair and yellow eyes in summer, every direwolf of the Stark family hints at the fate of its master.

Gray Wind died at the Scarlet Wedding, Lady died indirectly at Joffrey, and Nymeria wandered in the north after she disappeared and had her own pack of wolves.

The only ones left are Xia Tian, ​​Bai Ling, and Shaggy Dog.

Shaggydog follows Rickon, in Winterfell, who was killed by the Umbers' betrayal in the original show.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the army in the Riverlands is far beyond our imagination. I don't understand how they did it."

Afterwards, the envoy told what he had seen and heard, which made many nobles in the northern border wonder whether the envoy was making something up.

"It's okay. We have considered the worst case. I will try my best to fight for everyone's interests. This is the only thing I can do."

Bran's voice was very calm. Ever since his father, mother, and brother died in battle, Bran's voice rarely fluctuated.

Maybe it was too sad, or maybe there was some reason, but Bran was no longer the lively little boy he was before.

Since Robb went south, Bran has been handling the affairs of the north with the assistance of the maester. Since then, Bran has become taciturn.
