The journey of the film and television world is endless [continued]

On the same day that Liu Yuan boarded the ship from Pentos, Robb led his army to the Wall, and Jon Snow personally greeted them on the kingsroad.

Waves of wolf howls echoed across the snowy plains, and the hooves of four powerful war horses thundered as they broke through the ice and snow. Beside the war horses, four tall and mighty direwolves followed closely. Jon was so excited that he could hardly control his emotions. He spurred his horse forward, and Bai Ling also rushed forward excitedly. The five direwolves happily fought together.

After many years, the five children of the Stark family finally reunited. They have experienced countless hardships and separations, and now they are reunited, everyone is full of emotion. After going through hardships, they understand the preciousness of family affection and cherish the friendship between each other even more.

On that day, the three parties held an important meeting in Castle Black, and the Iron Bank, as the sponsor of the negotiations, also sent representatives to participate in the meeting.

In fact, Stannis and Robb did not have a friendly relationship. In Stannis's eyes, Robb's declaration of independence for the North was not only a challenge to the kingship, but also a serious act of treason, because it meant splitting the Seven Kingdoms. And now they have actually defected to King's Landing and chosen to stand on the side of the fake king of the Lannister family. This is undoubtedly an aggravated crime, which is simply unforgivable! "If I can return to the Iron Throne, I will definitely punish the Stark family in the most severe way." Stannis once publicly declared.

However, Robb was also dissatisfied with Stannis. He believed that his father chose to support Stannis in order to stick to his inner beliefs, but eventually suffered a tragic fate - being beheaded in public. When he raised an army to take revenge, the letter sent by Stannis did not mention his poor father at all, but only emphasized that he was the legitimate king and asked him to be loyal to him. This made Robb feel extremely chilled, so with the support of his vassal, he resolutely chose to establish himself as king. In response, Stannis wrote a letter to denounce him as a traitor. How could a teenager tolerate such an insult? He replied unceremoniously: "Greetings to your ancestors!" In this way, the conflict between the two became more and more acute, and the feud was formed.

Stannis is now as destitute as a stray dog. He has even lost his hometown and has only a few thousand troops left. Moreover, the North is the territory of the Stark family. Where does he get the confidence to be so arrogant in front of him?

This was really difficult for Robb. As the host, he had to treat each force fairly. However, the conflict between Stannis and Jon put Robb in a dilemma. On one side was the ally who came to help, and on the other side was his own brother. It was really difficult for him to choose. In the end, Robb chose to compromise. After all, in the face of a powerful enemy, he couldn't let his brother be embarrassed.

Facing such a powerful enemy, they knew that only unity could overcome difficulties. So they decided to send troops together to fight against the foreign enemy. First, they needed to wipe out the huge wildlings gathered in Hardhome. There were a large number of these wildlings, about 90,000 people, but most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were not many who could really fight.

With so many people, most of whom are women and children, no one can bear to kill them all. If these wildlings are thrown to the White Walkers, they will become part of the army of the dead and strengthen their power.

Therefore, they formulated a strategy to capture as many wildlings alive as possible: dispatch all ships, carry soldiers, and forcefully land on both sides of the Wildstoad Point peninsula. The Northern Army and the Night's Watch attack the wildling camp from both wings. Try to force the wildlings to surrender, and if that is not possible, try to capture them alive. In this way, the enemy's strength can be weakened without causing too much killing.

The Stannis army, which had the largest number of cavalry, was responsible for cutting off the wildlings' retreat and preventing them from fleeing inland. The armed fleet that had completed the landing was responsible for providing support with long-range weapons on the sea.

In order to make up for the lack of strength, Rickon used his authority to mobilize half of the garrison fleet from Skagos Island. In order to prevent accidents, the latest incendiary projectile weapons were also equipped, which could set fire to the ghost forest when necessary.

After two days of preparation, all the troops were in place. They left behind the logistics personnel and assembled 20,000 pure combat personnel to set off. Half a day after the fleet set out, Stannis led his army across the Wall from the East Sea.

Hardhome is not far from the Great Wall, but the road is difficult to walk on. The group can only choose to go along the coastline and then go around the back of the Haunted Forest. This section of the road is very rugged and needs to pass through dense woods and steep slopes.

Although the journey was not long, the march was slow because the roads were narrow and complicated. The soldiers moved forward cautiously, fearing that they would be attacked by wild men hiding in the dark. At the same time, they also had to avoid places that might cause avalanches or other natural disasters.

After a day and a night of arduous journey, they finally arrived at the edge of the Haunted Forest. This was once the territory of the Stoddard family, but now it has been abandoned. The broken walls of the Stoddard Fortress still stand, as if telling of the former glory and vicissitudes. Near this fortress, Stannis's army encountered wildlings.

The number of wildlings is 17,000, which can be said to be their last elite force. Although Stannis's army is only half the number of the enemy, they are not afraid at all. Their soldiers are well-equipped and well-trained, and everyone's face reveals determination and courage. Stannis personally led this elite division and took an offensive posture.

The wildlings stayed in this place for a long time. Most of the young and strong men gathered here to stop the White Walkers from moving south. All the women and children were arranged in Hardhome in the rear. The people there made rafts day and night to escape from this cursed land.

Mance Rayder knew that this was their only chance. He decided to sacrifice himself to buy more time for the women and children. He knew that if he could delay Stannis's army and prevent them from advancing, the women and children behind him could safely board the raft and leave this dangerous land.

In front of the ruins of the fortress, the wildlings built a simple wall with logs and stones. Although this wall could withstand the attacks of the dead, it was obviously vulnerable to Stannis's army. At this time, dozens of wildling leaders were standing together, staring at Stannis's army nervously, while arguing about what to do next.
