At this time, Marco was riding the unicorn Silver Flash standing in front of the burned Winterfell. Although Brynden won the last battle, Winterfell still did not escape the fate of being burned.

When Brynden realized that his men could not put out the fire, he prioritized the removal of some important things. Although the Bolton family had basically emptied the entire Winterfell, Maester Luwin and Bran were both in Brynden's hands.

Except for some things that were not moved out in time because the fire was too big, basically only the buildings of the entire Winterfell were burned down, and the books and some of the property were moved out in time.

Bran and his party were sent to Skagos by Marco. Those who have the blood of the Stark family are all natural skinchangers. The ability of the green dream is also very powerful. Although the Three-Eyed Raven has already known Bran's identity, as long as he doesn't treat him as a body, the Three-Eyed Raven is still happy to accept Bran as a disciple.

After Marco finished reading the system's prompt, he was also a little emotional. Roose Bolton was indeed a ruthless guy. Winterfell's strategic and political status had always been top-notch in the entire North.

After Roose Bolton burned Winterfell, he was determined not to let Marco get it. Moreover, Roose Bolton also sent a large number of raven letters to all parts of the North before leaving, and blamed all the crimes on the Valyrian Empire Army.

But this is not a problem for Marco at all. Marco's purpose of taking Winterfell has always been to turn it into a system main city, and in the future Marco will turn more castles into system main cities to rule the Westeros continent with these main cities.

After spending 10,000 gold coins on maintenance, the entire Winterfell began to rewind, and countless broken walls and fragments were restored at a speed visible to the naked eye. After about 30 minutes, the entire Winterfell was restored to its original appearance.

Immediately after that, Marco clicked on the option for a farmer's shed and built the building. Soon after, a building consisting of farmland and a farmhouse appeared outside the south gate of Winterfell.

Then Marco used the "recruitment technique" to call out the system main city "Wenlan" of the forest forces. After the fairy tree was built, Marco switched the system interface to the Griffin Castle and spent gold resources to summon six royal griffins.

Marko issued another order to mobilize soldiers and reinforcements. This time, nearly 1,000 wild warriors will come to support Marko, and Marko will reintegrate them in Winterfell.

This time, Mark will wipe out the First Men's Tomb in one fell swoop, eliminating all of Roose Bolton's forces west of the North, in order to avoid fighting on two fronts in the future.

After about two months, all the buildings in Winterfell except the military buildings were built by Marco. It was not that Marco didn't want to build military buildings, but because the building level requirements of the level 3 military buildings were too high.

It reached a terrifying level 20. It should be known that the Light Sanctuary that summons angels only needs a level 15. Marco estimated that this may be because Winterfell was transformed from a local building, so this special restriction was produced.

Moreover, when building the city walls and other buildings, the system only symbolically built a circle of outer areas with a diameter of about 500 meters around the Winterfell. The farms and markets were all in this area, and the Winterfell's winter town was also transformed into a system market.

Winterfell did not expand circle by circle like Griffin Castle, but only expanded a little on the original basis, and many system buildings used the original buildings of Winterfell, and the stables and blacksmith shops were basically unchanged.

Marco had originally wanted to build a "National Assembly", but the system prompted him that among all the castle buildings, a hero could only have one "National Assembly".

And the forest main city of Wenlan, Marco, only built the "City Council" and the "Wind Whisperer Arena", because he did not know how to summon the flower fairies and wind whisperers for the time being, because Marco did not have suitable forest power attribute residents to transform, which is also the reason why Marco stopped building Wenlan.

Marco only gained three more newly born Children of the Forest here. Marco directly transformed them into Flower Fairies. These newly appeared Children of the Forest were closer to the system soldiers.

And during this time, the "rewards" of the mysterious pond were also relatively ordinary. The first month rewarded 10,000 gold, and the second month rewarded 10 points of full resources. The matter of the building drawings seemed to only give Marco a small surprise.

Marco also built the "Goblin Shack" in the Sacred Wood. These little monsters could appear 10 times a month. The goblins also worshiped Marco very much, because Marco gave them meat to eat, and the goblins' efforts and gains were equal. The more they did, the more they ate.

The most important thing is that Marco will give them tools to vent their anger. Goblins are full of violence, bloodthirst and hard desire. After working for a long time, they will become very aggressive, often not even letting go of their own kind, which seriously affects their work efficiency.

After discovering this problem, Mark thot about it for a long time. In order to prevent them from harming humans, Mark caught a female wild boar from the mountains with a very bad taste. The fact proved that these goblins were not "picky eaters" at all.

In the eyes of the goblins, Miss Piggy is a beauty. After having a "girlfriend", the goblins' work efficiency has obviously improved.

Although they are only responsible for the work of the farm in Winterfell, they have reduced the burden of more than 100 soldiers who are responsible for agricultural production. Due to the influence of magic, there is a large amount of food to be harvested in the four farms built by Marco.

The appearance of these goblins just made up for the lack of manpower. The dirty and bitter work was just suitable for these goblins to do.

Now, the "night soil" produced in Winterfell every day will be collected by these little monsters. The thug soldiers will supervise them in a unified manner and drive the carriages for them. The goblins are too small to control the horses.

After a long time, the powerful genes of the goblins were highlighted. All five "Miss Piggy" captured by Marco were pregnant. In order to test what kind of species would be obtained, Marco captured another 10 female wild boars that had undergone special surgery and gave them to the goblins.

The gestation period of wild boars is generally around 120 days. Marco specially found someone to look after these big guys, serving them with good food and drink, to see if a new species could be produced. If Marco's experiment was really successful, then he would be likely to get a large number of new dedicated slave races.

Over this period of time, Marco was very satisfied with the performance of these goblins. Although these guys could not be used in combat, they were very convenient to do basic work. Perhaps these guys would become the same kind of soldiers as those goblins in the future.

Moreover, Marco told Narcissus about this matter, which made him very excited. He directly abandoned the work at hand and caught up with the reinforcements, preparing to come to Winterfell to personally study these interesting "little things".

The war had driven away most of the people who lived in the town of Winterfell, leaving only the old, the sick, and the crippled behind, but as before, Maester Luwin would see that those who swore fealty beneath the heart tree were fed and clothed.

Many of the refugees, most of whom had lived along the Sunset Sea and fled their homes because of the ironborn, swore fealty to Marco in exchange for food and clean housing.

After Balon Greyjoy died, many Ironborn withdrew, but there were still some Ironborn who were burning, killing, and looting in the western territory of the North. They had finally restored their "old way" and could not leave so easily.

Although Roose Bolton knew the importance of population, he had no time to take in the extra refugees because of the defeat, and he was very cunning to lead all the refugees to Winterfell.

Roose Bolton hoped to bog down Marco's logistics with refugees, because the Bloodhand's scouts had already discovered that Marco was using food and housing to gather refugees, and had also rebuilt Winterfell, and had built another wall on the outside.

At first, Roose Bolton didn't believe the story, but as the rumors increased, he believed it was true, but he didn't think about it in terms of "magic."

But as time passed and the rumors of refugees grew, the people of the North around Winterfell believed that Marco had used magic to restore the castle, which made some people full of goodwill toward Marco.

So Marco's reputation in the North became two extremes, some people thot he was a white ghost who could do witchcraft, and some people thot he was the darling of the gods, and the patron of dragons and magic.

In the early days of the Targaryen dynasty, many people believed that they were the incarnation of gods and possessed the blood of gods. Therefore, at a certain period, Dragonstone Island was full of silver-haired handsome men and beautiful women, and there were so many illegitimate children that there were not enough names, so they could only be replaced by the names of plants.

So, when faced with a king who had both magic and dragons, many people subconsciously regarded Marco's Valyrian Empire as another Targaryen family, and they also regarded Marco as another Aegon I.

What they didn't know was that Marco's ambition was even greater than that of Yin Geng I. He wanted to conquer the entire world and establish a new ruling system.

At this time, Marco was standing at the entrance of the Winterfell schoolyard, where a high platform had been built and nearly 5,000 troops had gathered. At the front of the team was the four-man group that had raided the Bolton army last time.

The abyssal hydra, the fire lord Vael, the rakshasa king Xun, and the ancient treant Oakhead are all creatures with their own consciousness, and they can basically understand the common language.

Behind them were 10 giant warriors. After the last battle, these guys had matured a lot in their combat awareness, and they also knew how to use their power to protect their clansmen and brother troops.

Behind the giant warriors were Marco's system soldiers. This time, the proportion of system soldiers was obviously much higher, almost reaching more than half. This time, Marco spent another 40,000 gold to transform 2,000 thug soldiers.

After reorganizing the system soldiers, Marco filled in the savage warriors and formed an army of nearly 5,000 people. This time, Marco and his men would still open up a rough road to connect the castles in the west of the Northern Territory.

This time, after the system transformed the Winterfell blacksmith shop, it contributed three very good masters to Marco, weapons, armor, siege weapons, so Marco simply assembled 10 heavy catapults this time.

In addition, Marco also transferred 15 mammoths from the town of Houguan. A large number of equipment and tools will be pulled to the village of Huangzhong together, and a large number of grains will be pulled by Marco. They will be the foundation of Marco's future rule.

Seeing that the soldiers had gathered, Marco raised his hand and gestured. With the loud roar of the Flame Lord Vael, everyone present quieted down.

Marco nodded in satisfaction, a trace of blood-colored energy appeared around him, and then he said to everyone:

"My dear soldiers, you are the pride of the Valyrian Empire Army. You have been fighting for me since the first day of landing until today. You have taken the Last Hearth for me, and you have also taken Winterfell for me. You are all my pride, and I am proud of you!

But my dear soldiers, our journey is not over yet. In the land to the west, our enemies, the Bolton family, are still flying their flags in their castles. My soldiers, your emperor needs that land to be covered with the flags of the holy sun. Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Marco's voice, accompanied by the blood-colored energy, spread far away, as if he was using a broadcast, making everyone's mind shake, and there was a faint trace of blood-colored energy in their eyes.

"Fight..fight..fight!"

The shouts of the soldiers came from the square, and the uniform shouts made the entire Winterfell tremble slightly.

Then Marco nodded his head with satisfaction and shouted to the crowd:

"Let's go! Our destination is Torun Square!"

For this battle, Marco only brought Fang, Aegon Targaryen, and Aric Storm, while Winterfell would be left to Brynden to manage. He was currently negotiating with Deepwood Motte and the mountain clans, hoping to use the momentum of this great victory to subdue these two most powerful forces north of the North.
