Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 283 The Road to the North
"Wait, where do you think they want to go?"

In King's Landing, Davos, who was in charge of managing the affairs of King's Landing, asked in surprise.

"Great Wall."

He couldn't believe it: "What?"

"Yes, sir. They want to go to the Wall." The officer who came to report explained, "Those ascetics from the Church are very serious. According to the report, they had only registered to leave the city, and then tried to take a detour from outside the city to enter the King's Road heading north, but were stopped by the checkpoint at the Blackwater Pass. After that, they took a long detour on the frozen river and went to the north of the city. They were discovered by the patrolling guards because they encountered a wandering wight who ignited a fire."

King's Landing is now under strict military control. As the team sent by King Targaryen to take over King's Landing, they didn't kill many wights, but they dealt with a lot of troublemakers, looters, and thieves in the city. Earl Bruce of Bronze Gate City has earned the reputation of "Bloody Earl" in King's Landing in just half a month. He has hanged and burned dozens of criminals.

Someone talked to Earl Bruce about his radical actions, but the only answer he got was that the king's order was "severe punishments should be used in troubled times."

However, the "severe punishment" did quickly suppress the chaos in King's Landing. When Davos arrived with relief supplies, the refugees in King's Landing had already gathered and settled in some relatively intact places. And Davos's job was not easy. Davos had figured it out. The reason why the king asked him to go to King's Landing was not only because the Stormlands were close enough, but also because he had participated in the "work-for-relief" affairs in the Stormlands.

The king has always had his own view on relief, that is, "not free", and must be exchanged for something. Although King's Landing is cold during the long night, the burned-down blocks and houses in the city have to be dealt with, and the defending army has to requisition some areas to directly build warehouses and living areas. In order to defend the city, the next rotating troops will be stationed near the city area in the city.

Building a cold-proof gathering place on the ruins of the city requires manpower, stone, and wood. Where do these things come from? No doubt they come from the people whose houses have been burned down in King's Landing. They can exchange materials with labor, materials that can be used in the ruins, and land ownership.
Although Viserys himself felt that this approach was somewhat inhumane, that was why he handed it over to Davos and Bruce, as the saying goes, "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen."

But in fact, in the eyes of many nobles and even monks of the Vatican, these can be regarded as "benevolent policies."

Davos didn't understand: "Why would an ascetic from the Templar want to go to the Wall?"

".Sir, this is the case. I wonder if you have heard that the 'miracle of the warrior' appeared in the Great Sept of Baelor on the day when His Majesty rescued King's Landing?"

"I have heard about it. Does it matter?"

"I'm not sure, sir. I just heard about it. I heard that the monks of the temple believed that Your Majesty was a 'warrior in the world', so they wanted to go to the Great Wall to find Your Majesty to verify this."

"Wait, what?" Davos asked in surprise. "That rumor? I thought it was a 'figure of speech'."

The officer blinked and said, "Who knows? Maybe the monks in the temple don't think so."

"How could it be?" Davos frowned, "How is this possible? I mean" he couldn't find an adjective for a moment, "How could it be."

"So, sir, what should we do with them? They are avoiding the checkpoints and are suspected of smuggling, but they are all monks of the Grand Sept. of Baelor. I am worried that if we let them go directly, they will continue to find a way to the north, and then die outside and become wights. You know, monks are always very stubborn."

"Don't they know Harrenhal is lost? The journey north to the Kingsroad is fraught with danger."

"I think they know they've seen the crisis."

"Send them back to the temple?"

"In fact, they have changed two groups of people. I just found out that not long ago, two groups of the same monks tried to go north. Unfortunately, they were not so lucky. Half of the two groups turned into zombies, and the rest who escaped were sent to Earl Bruce by the previous outpost guards. They mobilized the restricted Warrior Sons without the consent of the United Front Coordination Department. This time they did not bring more than twelve people, so it was our turn to deal with them after they were rescued. I had arranged to send them back to the temple, but they came back again."

"what?"

"You may not believe it, my lord, but they want us to open a pass for them according to the 'Anti-White Walker Protocol', allowing them to go to the Wall as an armed group to fight against the aliens."

Davos narrowed his eyes: "Pass?"

"A pass from King's Landing to the Wall."

"." Davos was speechless for a moment, "How many people are there?"

"Seven, two monks and five followers."

"Seven? What kind of armed group is this?" Davos shook his head.

"In fact, this is why I came to you, my lord. His Majesty did not set a number of requirements in the agreement, so in theory, if they prove their determination to go to the Wall to fight against the White Walkers, then... we should support them."

".But," Davos felt puzzled. Although he had the power, he had only issued passes to those who were summoned to join the Second Regiment at that time, and had never issued a pass to the civilian armed forces. Theoretically, he could issue a pass, but wouldn't seven people be ridiculous? But Davos couldn't find any content in the agreement to refute it. He frowned: ".But they are monks."

"The agreement states that 'there is no distinction between north and south, and no distinction between old and young'. I think this includes monks as well."

"Can"

“They are very determined.”

Davos looked at the officer with a stern face: "Isn't this sending them to die?"

"So I came to you, sir." The official said helplessly, "They said that if you don't agree, the monk hopes to meet you in person for a meeting."

"."

Soon, a tall, thin, gray-haired old monk came to Davos and said, "My lord, hello. Do you have any doubts about our determination to go north?"

"Brother North, hello." Davos was interrupted by the other party as soon as they met. He felt helpless and said, "I don't doubt you--"

"Sir, may I ask in what ways do we fail to comply with the provisions of the 'Agreement'?"

"Well," Davos answered honestly, "not really."

The monk's eyes flashed, and his gaze was hot and sharp. "I have heard that it is commendable for a knight to die for honor and loyalty. Does it seem foolish to you that a monk dies for his beliefs?"

"Brother North, where do you start?"

The monk nodded calmly and tapped his chest seven times: "Since you respect the honor of the knight, please also respect the faith of the monks. Sir, we are determined to go to the Great Wall. Please issue us a pass."

Davos was cornered by the sophistry of this aggressive monk with just a few words, but these few words also made Davos see their determination. At least he could see that the monk in front of him was the kind of person who would never turn back for something.

"I certainly respect your faith, Brother, but the night is long and the Great Wall is thousands of miles away."

"Sir, I heard that you believe in the Seven Gods. May I ask if you are afraid of the long night, when darkness descends and covers everything, and light disappears?" The old monk lowered his hands devoutly and said in a firm tone, "The darker the world is, the more it needs light; the farther the road is, the more it can verify sincerity. I am looking for hope and salvation, sir."

"." Davos was stunned for a long time, "I understand, Brother North. I will issue a certificate for you."

Just like that, seven monks of the Great Sept of Baelor, led by Brother North, received a pass to the Great Wall from King's Landing. Soon after, this seven-member team, the first "civilian armed group" since the Long Night, waited for the transport team that was transporting supplies back to Stone Hall Town.

Upon hearing that the destination of these seven monks was the Great Wall, the captain of the transport team was in awe.

In the south, the Faith of the Seven is the belief of almost all Westeros people. People, from nobles to commoners, have a natural awe and trust for the monks of the Great Sept of Baelor. When they hear about their purpose and goal, they will be even more respectful and arrange the best environment for them along the way.

Brother North and his companions of seven traveled in the long cold night without sunlight, following the Targaryen transport team on their return journey along the Golden Road covered with thick snow to Stone Hall Town.

This route was much easier than the straight section they had previously ventured on.

Because of the Targaryen army's supply transportation, although this road was covered with thick snow, it had become a familiar route for carriages, horses and soldiers, and some places were even covered with wood chips and ash.

Every few hours or so, Brother North and his party would see a camp building with lights on and barricades set up on the side of the road.

At first, the monk didn't think much of it. But when they passed the third building of the same shape and the transport team went in to rest, Brother North still felt very strange and unfamiliar. So when they entered an inn to rest, they couldn't help but ask the knight sitting in the carriage on the way back: "Sir, I also walked along the Golden Road to the West two years ago, but I have never seen these inns?"

"Inn?" The leading knight was stunned for a moment before he realized what Brother North was talking about. "Oh, you mean the military post, Brother? You passed by here two years ago, so it's no wonder you didn't know. These are post stations. They were built one year before and after the Long Night under the instruction of His Majesty the King. The two closest to King's Landing were built by the refugees from King's Landing."

"Inn?"

"It's just a temporary resting place for the army, and it also serves as a warning beacon. Your Majesty is far-sighted. Without these, how could we dare to transport supplies in the cold night? Living in the wild at night will freeze to death. It's icy and snowy, and there are White Walkers in the wild. Without these, we can't go to King's Landing."

"I see. No wonder the King's army can march through the long night and keep supplies flowing." The monk suddenly became happy. "I wonder if there is another post station like this on the road north of Shitang Town?"

"It's a pity, monk. You can only see these in the southern border. To be honest, I have been to Hongfen City on the way north. There are no post stations on that road. There are only abandoned camps along the way to rest. It's not a pleasant experience. If you want to go north, you must wait for the camp's transport supply team to get together. Otherwise, even if you don't encounter a tide of zombies outside, the cold is not something you can easily ignore."

Brother North felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still heard some good news: "There will be regular teams transporting supplies from Stone Town to the north. That means there will be no White Walker harassment on the road north of Stone Town. Will the supplies go all the way to the Great Wall?"

"I don't know about that. Brother, there has been little news from the north since the long night, and even fewer people coming. I am just a small grain transport officer. I have only been to Pink City, but I heard that the transport team of the northern camp will go further, to Riverrun City."

Brother North was immediately more delighted: "Can we get to Riverrun?"

Seeing this, the grain transport officer hurriedly tried to make amends: "I just heard about it."

After resting for a night at the inn, Brother North was even surprised that hot water was provided that night.

The grain transport team disagreed: "If we use the fire to keep warm but don't boil water, isn't that a waste of firewood?"

Brother North was speechless for a moment. This was true, but he found that almost all the soldiers in the grain transport team were given hot water. You know, firewood is not cheap during the long night.

However, when he was awakened in the Long Night Inn, Brother North knew where the firewood for the inn came from.

A transport team heading to King's Landing passed by and was unloading a cart of firewood brought specifically for the post station.

All this firewood comes from Shitang Town.

But at this moment, Brother North has not yet figured out where all the supplies in Shitang Town come from.

After a quick rest, they were ready to set off and continued westward. When they reached a big fork in the road, Brother North discovered that there was suddenly a new road running from north to south on the Golden Road to the west.

The grain transport team turned north here and after about a day's journey, crossing two frozen rivers, they arrived at Shitang Town.

A faint light shone through the curtain of the carriage. Brother North was surprised and could not help but lift the curtain, only to see a light suddenly appearing in the long night, reflecting the sky.

The carriage swayed, and Brother North seemed to see a glowing sphere like the sun lighting up in a small town under the sky. Around the town, there were flickering lights in three camps arranged in a V-shape in three directions of the town. A huge camp that covered an area even larger than the town appeared in his field of vision.

Figures moved in the firelight and bright light. He could see huge clusters of fire in the camp near the mountain, as bright as daylight, reflecting the bare forest outside that had been cut down. Some people were carrying logs, some were patrolling in the camp in a line. There were fires in the forest farther away, and he could vaguely see people cutting down trees. When he looked over there, he saw a huge tree falling down.

In the camp on the other side of the plain, the army was training in the long night, with golden thunder and lightning and strong winds blowing from time to time.

In the camp above the town, it was relatively quiet, with only the occasional patrol of a team with torches in the air.

“Is this Shitang Town?”

Brother North had also been to Shitang Town when he was young, but his impression of it was just a small town with a population of more than a thousand people. But now there is no trace of its former appearance. Just looking at the three large camps, there are at least 60,000 to 70,000 people gathered here.

This place has clearly become a military stronghold.

Although Brother North didn't understand military affairs, he knew that bigger is better and more is stronger. He instinctively knew that the fortifications in the camp were no less solid than some knights' castles. When the transport team entered the town, Brother North was even more shocked.

It turns out that the glowing sphere in the town is a huge glass product.

The glass product was on a wooden tower in the square. Below the tower, an army of a thousand men were standing in line. Strands of golden electric light were growing in the queue and transmitted to the strange glass product on the tower.

It was as if they were performing some kind of prayer ceremony.

The golden electric light made Brother North feel close, but the glowing thing was too strange. Brother North didn't know where to start: "What is that?"

The knight who was traveling with him seemed to have prepared an answer: "That is an 'electric light', something that your majesty's regiment uses to exercise and test their strength." Speaking of the regiment, the knight's eyes showed a fascinated look.

"Lights? Warband?"

"This is the power of your Majesty's Thunderstorm Armor, which is armor made by your Majesty using magic. It is the concrete power of the unified integration of the land of Westeros, the princes and civilians of the entire territory." The knight told the monk about Viserys's things.

"This is a miracle!" Brother North was very excited. "This is... This is the power of warriors! This is the gods blessing Westeros."

"Warrior." The knight finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Sir, I heard that many people saw the 'miracle' when His Majesty rescued the king?"

"Of course!" Brother North's eyes lit up and his expression became fanatical. "The warrior gave us believers revelations, and that's why I went to confirm it. No, Your Majesty is undoubtedly the warrior's agent in the world. His dragon is the sword in the warrior's hand. The Heavenly Father gave him the thunder of justice, the blacksmith lent him the blazing fire, and the Stranger gave him the frost that freezes everything. The power he controls is the light that the gods give to save the believers in the darkness."

"So, the Ancient Dragon God that Your Majesty occasionally mentioned is not an alien god in your opinion?" The knight breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"Perhaps Your Majesty does not realize the true nature of his divine power." Brother North became excited. "Yes, that is why I came here. That is why I am going to the Great Wall. It must be so. It must be so."

"Brother North, I'm sorry to ask you. Ahem," the grain transport officer coughed, "If I pray to the soldiers for courage and think of His Majesty the King, would it be blasphemy in the eyes of the gods?"

"The appearance of a warrior is in your heart, child. Don't let the illusion of sculpture blind your eyes. The true appearance of God is complex. He is the face on the statue and the face you think of in your heart. When you pray to Him for courage, you know he is a warrior." It is not known whether Brother North was persuading himself or reasoning with the knight in front of him.

"I see. Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Brother."

After arriving at Stone Hall Town, the grain transport team and Brother North's team quickly separated, and Brother North was soon introduced to the local military chief, Garlan Tyrell, and the logistics chief, Willas Tyrell, the two brothers.

Seeing the pass opened by Davos, Willas couldn't help but ask: "Septa, is your team going to the Great Wall?"

Brother North replied calmly, "Yes, ser. The road from King's Landing to the North through Harrenhal has been cut off, so we want to see if the road is clear from the area around Riverrun."

"I may disappoint you, Septon." Willas shook his head. "I think you have experienced how cold King's Landing and Stonehall are during the long night. Riverrun will be even colder. And unfortunately, I heard that the road from Riverrun to the Trident or the western route to the Twins has been cut off."

Willas couldn't tell some of the truth. But although the cold wave made it difficult for crows to fly, and many places were nominally cut off from news, as the logistics director of a military region, Willas received more intelligence and had vaguely guessed that most of the castles in the riverlands might have fallen, including the Twins and Sealand. It was just that due to lack of means, other places could not get real intelligence.

From intelligence from various places, Willas only knew that Winterfell and White Harbor in the North were still there, Riverrun in the river was still there, and there was occasional news from Raventree and Stonehedge. As for other places, there was only a fog of war and no information at all.

"It's alright, ser. We just need to make sure there is a road to Riverrun. We can confirm it once we reach Riverrun. Even if the road for transporting supplies is cut off, we are few in number and do not need large carts and horses."

Garlan couldn't help but interrupt: "I see that you haven't even prepared cold-proof clothing for your horses. Monk, please forgive me for being blunt, but you in King's Landing can't imagine how cold the north is."

"Is there a place to buy this in Shitang Town?"

Garland was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Willas couldn't help but shake his head. "How about this, monk? You might as well stay here for a few days and wait for the river supply team to arrive, and then go to Riverrun with them. You have too few people and are not familiar with the road, so you can have someone to take care of you when you wait for the supply team. In the past few days, scouts have discovered that there are wights roaming around, and it is not safe with so few people. As for the cold-proof clothing for the horses, since you have obtained the pass according to the 'agreement', I will issue you a set of supplies in advance according to the 'agreement'. You were supposed to get one when you arrived at Bay Cailin, so you just need to get a certificate when the time comes."

"In that case, thank you."

Things went much more smoothly than Brother North had imagined.

After Brother North left, Garlan couldn't help but say, "King's Landing is just making a fuss. Isn't it sending these ascetics who only know how to practice in the temple to die?"

"Why do you think so? Isn't this an inspiring thing?" Willas replied, "To be frank and cruel, they came out, whether they succeed or fail, it can ease the current disputes between the royal family and the church. This is something that can be used for communication between the royal family and the church. Yes, my view is a bit cruel. But Garlan, from another perspective, have you ever thought about it, what if the gods show up and they successfully reach the Great Wall?"

Garland shook his head and smiled bitterly. Obviously he didn't think these people could reach the Great Wall.

"If they reach the Wall, what a boost it would give to the army and the people. His Majesty once said that in the cruel war ahead, his biggest worry is not the military setbacks, but that the people who should have fought back would get tired of hiding in the fortresses to face death, and fear the night and the cold. Why do you think His Majesty used precious messengers in the long night to spread the news that King's Landing, the capital in people's hearts, was almost lost and half of the city was reduced to ruins?" Willas sighed, "Because after a long period of comfort, the people in the fortress will gradually forget what fear is; if fear is too great and death becomes the norm, Garlan, people will also forget what courage and honor are. As long as these people walk to Riverrun and head north, even if they die just after leaving the city, their stories will be compiled into ballads, you know?"

After hearing what Willas said, Garlan fell silent for a long time. He said, "You must survive this war and inherit the Reach. Willas, you are the future of the Tyrell family."

Brother North and his party waited in Shitang Town for ten days and experienced a snowstorm. They visited the southern camp of Shitang Town within the permitted range. It was the gathering place of the militia organization and the laborers who were paid to work. When Brother North personally entered the three-shift camp, he realized that in addition to cutting down trees, the laborers were also digging and building caves along the mountain.

Many experienced miners were recruited here, and they were gradually digging out tunnels and intricate corridors for storing materials in the mountains southwest of Stonetown. When necessary, the mountains in the southwest would become a huge fortress that could accommodate nearly 10,000 people. Some of the already formed pits were already inhabited by civilians and villagers from nearby areas, forming a human gathering area, and even forming a unique small town business. All this was because Viserys followed the tradition of giving the recruited civilians corresponding compensation for their work every day after they had worked for more than 40 days with only food.

Many laborers even brought their families with them.

The system here is relatively relaxed, but after all, there is military control. At the same time, it is relaxed but has not led to unbridled growth. It can be said to be well ordered.

After visiting the cave, Brother North had nothing to do, so he thought of writing down what he had seen and heard, just like the previous monks of the church.

Many records related to the ancient humanities of Westeros are closely related to missionaries and monks. Brother North sorted out what he saw and heard since leaving King's Landing, and began to record in detail everything he observed along the way.

Observing, recording and organizing things as if he were on an investigation, Brother North waited for the supply team to arrive from Riverrun City.

After contacting the supply team of Riverrun, the other party was very happy to let this team of fearless monks accompany them. From these people, Brother North and his party quickly learned about the current situation in the river. Riverrun was also attacked by a tide of zombies during the Battle of King's Landing, but the zombies failed to capture Riverrun and quickly retreated to the wilderness and disappeared. However, as soldiers who were only responsible for part of the affairs, most of these people did not know the situation in other parts of the river, and the captain who knew more intelligence did not tell these monks some bad news.

However, the captain still leaked some information. The roads to the east and west of Riverrun were no longer passable, and the scouts sent out recently could not bring back information five miles north and east of Riverrun, which meant that the outside world had become extremely dangerous.

As if to confirm the captain's words, the transport team encountered a wave of zombies while crossing the frozen cold water of the Red Fork River after leaving Pink City. The transport team immediately abandoned the supplies, ignited all the wildfires and fuel in the supply vehicles, and rode their horses directly to the King's Road in the Westland to Riverrun, until they luckily met a group of soldiers running in the opposite direction from Riverrun to explore the Westland and Stone Hall Town, and escaped.

However, before the team could continue eastward towards Riverrun.

This team brought them some very unfortunate news.

It turned out that not long after the supply troops went to Stone Hall, Riverrun received news that Stonehedge was besieged by a zombie tide and had fallen. Someone from the Bracken family who had escaped brought news that the zombie tide numbered at least 40,000 to 50,000, and would use stone-throwing attacks.

This number made Brynden the Blackfish, who stayed behind to guard Riverrun on behalf of Edmure, feel that it was impossible to do anything, so he decided to try to ask for help from the Westerlands and Stonehall before the zombie tide swept into Riverrun. Although the hope was slim, Brynden still sent out riders.

The Battle of Riverrun is imminent, and it is obvious that North and his men can no longer think of heading north through Riverrun.

However, a piece of information sent by the messenger to the West brought them a new turn of events. It turned out that there was a rumor in the West that there was a sea transportation channel in Lannisport that would transport supplies to the North via the Greyjoy warships in the Iron Islands. The news was not accurate and was hearsay.

But at least they had a direction, so this group of monks turned around and followed the Hejian riders who were going to the Western Territory for help.

After riding for five days in the long night and snow, one of their followers froze to death on the road before they finally arrived at the Golden Tooth City.

The current situation of Jinya City is also very different from what the monks imagined. It has now become a gathering point for the Western Territory’s military forces, with more than 10,000 Western Territory veterans and new recruits.

Unfortunately, the troops in the west were more than enough to protect themselves, but not enough to provide support. Riverrun's request for help was doomed to go unanswered.

The monks then parted ways with the messenger from Riverrun and headed to Lannisport alone.

Before leaving, I heard that the western border had begun to block the passes and important roads, as if they were going to close the gate to the western border.

As a passerby, Brother North could not judge whether the decision of the Western Army was right or wrong. He had experienced the siege of King's Landing and knew the horror of the zombie tide.

King's Landing has the advantage of being a defensive city, and its military strength is greater than that of the Westerlands now, but it still failed to defend King's Landing.

The situation in Riverrun City is not good, so how can the Western Territory avoid it next?

The more Brother North saw, the more he saw the king's army and preparations in the areas he conquered first, and then the army and preparations in the areas he conquered later, the more he was sure that Viserys was the only choice to defeat the invasion of the White Walkers - the king was the warrior's agent in the world, and he must be the warrior's agent in the world. The princes of Westeros and themselves alone could not stop the offensive of the White Walkers. Only destruction awaited them.

They were lucky. In Lannisport, there actually was a Greyjoy fleet transporting supplies from the sea to the Iron Islands. He even heard from the Ironmen that Asha Greyjoy would personally lead a fleet to the Bay of Bright Flames to look for a landing site in the stream area and explore the current status of the northern coastline. She also claimed that she would open a land route to Winterfell.

Most of the Ironborn thought Asha Greyjoy was crazy, but Asha kept taking risks. It is said that because of Asha's persistence, King Viserys praised her actions and personally gave her a Valyrian steel suit that can cast magic and a magical instrument that can directly communicate with the king and the leaders of various regions remotely.

With those two things, Asha truly gained the "real power" that everyone in the Iron Islands had to recognize.

It was a coincidence that after the White Walkers suffered successive defeats in Winterfell and White Harbor, the last two fortresses in the North, they decisively gave up the siege of Winterfell and White Harbor and transferred all their troops south to the more populous hinterland of Westeros.

The stream area, where the land had been scraped and no living creatures were left, had truly become a vacuum zone for the White Walker forces.

Asha's adventurous behavior really paid off. Her fleet landed at the mouth of the Hot Wave River in Mingyan Bay, and then ventured north along the frozen Hot Wave River. The army that went to explore unexpectedly arrived at the big lake under the city of Torun without any surprise.

After the exploration team reported the intelligence to Asha, and Asha reported it to Viserys through the communicator, Viserys ordered the troops in Winterfell to try to extend their tentacles to Torrhen's Square.

In this attempt, the army that ventured out actually succeeded in going back and forth to the big lake in Torun City.

This is good news because, if necessary, the stream can serve as a supply line from south to north.

The intelligence provided on a larger scale is that the White Walker army has already plundered other parts of the western North and moved on to other places without stopping.

Based on the information that the White Walkers did not continue to harass Winterfell and White Harbor on a large scale, and the news that the White Walker army entered the river, Viserys boldly estimated that the White Walkers in the North had already moved south in large numbers.

At this time, no matter what the purpose, Viserys planned to try to activate the supply line discovered by Asha.

Even if this kind of work behind enemy lines can be done, the supply escort is very rare, and it can even be said to be a pure waste of manpower and troops. But as long as it is done, it can be regarded as a general pull. Since the White Walker army has given up control of the land and castles, after they leave, the human side can completely carry out operations behind enemy lines with the advantage of sea transportation in the Sunset Sea. This can not only motivate the defenders of the Great Wall and the North, but if it can attract the White Walker army to turn back, wouldn't it be possible to delay the pressure from the south in the general direction.

Perhaps it was really that North and his party were blessed by the gods. When they arrived at the Iron Islands by ship from Lannisport, only a few days later, they met Asha who came back to recruit the Ironmen to try to transport some strategic materials to the great lake of Torrhen's Square through the frozen Scorch River, and complete the handover with the garrison of Winterfell there.

So the monks took advantage of the east wind and were able to reach the North by ship. They then went north with the supply team in the completely deserted land of the north, and finally officially arrived at Winterfell.

By the time they arrived at Winterfell, it had been almost three months since the monks set out from King's Landing, and only three of them were left from the original seven. Another monk and three followers died on the way for various reasons.

And at Winterfell, their epic journey was about to come to an end.

However, before meeting Viserys, many of Brother North's questions and concerns before the journey had been answered on the way.

Even Viserys himself, looking back in the future, had to admit that the long journey made by the devout believers, mainly the monks of North, risking their lives in the long night played an unimaginable role in his plan to spread the faith.

Even to commemorate this feat, a road was born in Westeros in later generations, which believers of the belief in "warriors" often take to temper themselves. The route starts from the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing, passes the Golden Road to Stonehall, and then passes Stonehall through the Pink Forest to Riverrun, then turns into Lannisport in the Westerly Territory, and then takes Lannisport through the Iron Islands to the streams in the North, and arrives at Winterfell along the banks of the Fever River, and finally along the straight Kingsroad to the Wall, complete the baptism under the statue of God-King Viserys to become a formal member of the "Warrior Sons".

Later generations called this road the "Warrior's Road".
