The Cape Stord Peninsula extends to the tip of the Shivering Sea. Various kinds of fish can be seen in the sea with the naked eye. A large number of seals and walruses gather here, which is why Seal Bay gets its name.

The bay forms a natural deepwater harbor at Stord's Corner, which is large enough to accommodate large ships. There are large pieces of wreckage in the harbor, indicating that this place was once prosperous. It once had a name: Hardhome.

Today, a fleet of two large sailing ships slowly approached here. Liu Yuan stood on the deck and stared at the ruins. The plump seals "grunted" and went back into the sea. Some of them protested and shouted at the ships, expressing their dissatisfaction with the occupation of their habitat.

According to the records in the library of the Citadel, Hardhome is the only place outside the Wall that has a chance to form a city. About six hundred years ago, Hardhome was hit by a mysterious disaster one night. The entire settlement was burned down, and all the residents disappeared, leaving only large piles of corpses. The Night's Watch Corps could not determine what happened there. Eastwatch sent several rangers to investigate, and they claimed that no survivors were found in the settlement.

Some people said that the cannibals from Skagos Island attacked the local area, while others said that it was done by slave traders from across the narrow sea. Liu Yuan said that this was pure nonsense. Since the battle at the foot of Mount Doglo two months ago, the entire Skagos Island has been under his rule. All the treasures of the three major clans belonged to him, including some ancient stone tablets with a large number of runes engraved on them. Runes are the ancient language used by the ancestors, some of which are like the runes on the blue star. These characters are engraved on stones and other objects, rather than recorded in books or scrolls. They record all the major events that have occurred on Skagos Island since 1600 years ago, and there is no record of Hardhome among them.

Liu Yuan estimated that it must be the Night's Watch and the North who did this. Hardhome was too close to the Wall, and its rapid development posed a threat to the Night's Watch. Once it developed into a city, the wildlings would gather more people and further develop the shipping industry. By then, Eastwatch and even the entire east coast of the North would be within the attack range of the wildlings. If Liu Yuan was the commander of the Night's Watch, he would definitely join forces with those poor lords in the North to plunder Hardhome, eliminate the threat, and make a fortune.

Their plan was very successful, and until now, the wild people have never returned to rebuild the settlement. Only ruins are left everywhere. Behind the ruins of the settlement is a huge cliff with caves all over the cliff. When the wind blows through the caves, a chilling whistle will be heard.

As soon as Liu Yuan set foot on this land, he found traces of recent human life here. At his feet was a broken wooden barrel, which was specially used to store barley wine in the river area, and there was a mark of the Holy Town on it. It was heard that the smugglers in the south would trade with the wild people outside the Great Wall on a regular basis. When Liu Yuan was in the old town, he also asked them to find rare animal skins. This should be their meeting place.

Liu Yuan looked around and thought, this is a really good place. Facing the sea, it has rich fishery resources, and backed by the Ghost Forest, it has a constant supply of high-quality wood. Building a city of the size of White Harbor should not be a problem. It's a pity that he can't be exposed now, otherwise he will definitely occupy this place.

The crew worked for a long time before unloading a large amount of supplies, which were all food and supplies for outdoor life. The most troublesome thing was the more than 200 war horses. There was no dock here, so they had to use a crane to lift the horses onto a small boat and then transport them to the shore.

Liu Yuan planned to explore the legendary Outer Wall. He was very curious about this place when he watched American TV series on Blue Planet. Giants, children of the forest, white walkers, direwolves, snow bears, mammoths... and magical zombies, he had long wanted to see them. Now that the magic tide has not returned, those mythical creatures should still be dormant.

But there are giants! If I could conquer the giant tribe, get a team of giant guards, and put them in full armor. Hehehe~ I'm excited just thinking about it.

After completing the transportation mission, the two ships set sail back to Skagos Island. Bandir, as the plenipotentiary, led 20 ships to Slaver Bay to fulfill the agreement with the good masters. By the way, go to Yunkai and Meereen to buy more skilled slaves, especially craftsmen who can build ships. Northeast of Skagos Island is an island formed by a volcanic eruption. The island is covered with volcanic rocks and no grass grows. Liu Yuan found that the volcanic ash contains rich active silicon oxide and active aluminum oxide. If it is ground into fine powder and mixed with lime and water, it can not only harden in the air, but also continue to harden in water. It can be called pure natural cement.

Nowadays, the whole island is undergoing massive construction. The former Peeling Bay has now been renamed Port Crow. Most of the Crow clan members have moved here, and the former clan base, Abyss Castle, has become a military base. After several years of chaos on Skaggs Island, there are less than 40,000 people left on the entire island. Liu Yuan has assigned them to live in 15 settlements.

Liu Yuan brought only 120 people with him for this expedition. They were all carefully selected elites from the entire army, including gladiators with superb fighting skills, roaring warriors with superb riding skills and vivid archery skills, and clan hunters who roared through the forests... The leader was still the simpleton Greg. In order to adapt to this operation, all of them were replaced with foreskin mixed cotton armor with built-in alloy, including cotton armor for horses. The weapons they wore were even more amazing, all of them were Valyrian weapons made with steel-clad method, so they would not be afraid even if they really encountered White Walkers.

After the team was organized, they set off. Except for Grieg, everyone rode two horses, one horse riding the other horse and carrying the luggage. Grieg's new mount was a giant moose, 2.8 meters long and 2.1 meters tall at the shoulder, which was a circle larger than the Shire horse that Liu Yuan had raised. After passing through the winding canyon, they entered the most famous ghost forest outside the Great Wall, which is also the main gathering area of ​​​​the wild people. The forest is mainly composed of fish beams and sentinel trees, and there are also a large number of wild animals living in the forest. Especially direwolves and snow bears, and it is said that there are also shadow mountain cats.

On the fifth day after they entered the Haunted Forest, a large flock of crows suddenly flew up, and then there was a fierce fighting sound on the other side of the woods. The soldiers all looked at Liu Yuan. After wandering aimlessly in the forest for so many days, they finally saw traces of people, even if it was an enemy, it would be good.

Liu Yuan: "Let's go and take a look." He was not worried at all. With the current combat power of the team, they would be able to fight even if they encountered a wildling tribe of thousands of people. Jeor Mormont dared to lead 300 Night's Watchmen on an expedition, which showed that the combat power of the wildlings was just so-so.

Soon they arrived at the battle site, but the result disappointed him. He saw more than 40 wild men in animal skins besieging 18 Night's Watchmen in black cloaks. The two sides fought fiercely, and only five people were lying on the ground. There was a young figure in the team of black-clad men, who caught Liu Yuan's attention. It was Benjen Stark.
