Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Chapter 297 Bear Island with Exaggerated Strength

"My daughter is a fool, and my grandson is also a fool. What kind of brain can make such a stupid decision." In the Western Alliance camp in Stone Hall Town, Tywin Lannister threw the intelligence information in his hand. On the table, he mocked unceremoniously.

Kevan Lannister on the side waved the Western nobles, generals and knights in the tent to leave, then picked up the intelligence information, looked at it, and said: "It's not the worst, at least Cersei asked Lynde Ty Ra publicly recognized Joffrey's throne as legitimate, which undoubtedly put anyone who tried to attack Joffrey on the basis of illegality directly into the category of treason."

"What's the use of being legal in name? All thrones are supported by weapons, just like the Iron Throne. A throne without weapons is just a pile of rotten wood that can collapse at any time." Tywin looked at it angrily. His brother took a look and said: "If she is smart enough, she should immediately contact the Tyrell family in Highgarden at this time to complete the engagement as soon as possible and let Joffrey marry Margaery Tyrell, thereby gaining the support of Highgarden. , instead of directly pushing Highgarden into a hostile state. Believe it or not, now that Highgarden has contacted Renly, they will support Renly to become king. One, what do you think our chances of winning are? And we are not only enemies with Highgarden and the Stormlands, the Riverlands, the Valley, the North and even Dorne are our enemies." As he spoke, his face turned pale. He leaned on the chair, rubbed his forehead, and said, "What do you think our chances of winning are?"

Kevan was silent for a moment and said: "Before we gather troops in the north and go south, we should first capture the riverlands, and then build defenses outside the Blood Gate to block the key points of sending troops in the valley."

Tywin nodded and said, "Where is the south?"

Kevan continued to analyze: "The only way to the south is to drag. First of all, if Renly becomes king, Stanlis of Dragonstone will be the most dissatisfied. He will definitely finish it with Renly before officially fighting with us. Only in this way can he compete with Joffrey for the Iron Throne as the heir of the kingdom. Although Stannis's Dragonstone is much worse than Renly's Stormlands and Riverlands, we can secretly support him. Stannis, let him delay a little longer. As long as we finish the war on the Riverlands, we can directly block the Blackwater River and completely block Renly's people south of the Blackwater River. ”

Tywin was silent for a moment and asked, "Have you ever considered that Stannis would win?"

Kevan shook his head and said: "Will Stannis win? How is this possible? It is impossible for the people he has to win."

Tywin thought for a while, motioned for Kevan to come closer, and then whispered: "Wait a moment, you immediately find someone you trust to act as the envoy of Dorne, go to Sunspear City, don't meet Prince Doran, but go to see the Red Viper. , tell him that I agree to exchange the Magic Mountain for him to send troops to the Reach."

Kevan frowned and said, "This is not good! Although I don't like the Magic Mountain, but if you do this, people will know..."

Tywin said solemnly: "It doesn't matter. As long as this war is won, any gossip is not important."

"Yes, I understand." Kevan nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, suddenly there was a guard outside telling the messenger from Golden Tooth City that he was outside asking for a meeting.

After the messenger came in, he couldn't wait to inform Tywin of the outcome of the battle at Golden Teeth City.

After hearing this, Tywin couldn't help but nod and smile: "Okay! Finally, one of the children I gave birth to can see through it."

One day before, Edmure Tully, the heir to the Duke of Riverrun, led a coalition of all the lords of the Riverlands to attack the Golden Tooth City in retaliation for the burning, killing, and looting in the Riverlands by the West. At that time, Tywin sent Jaime to lead the reinforcements to the Golden Tooth City. Sit down.

As a result, James did not support the Golden Tooth City at all and directly watched the coalition forces attack the Golden Tooth City. He quietly detoured the coalition forces and attacked the coalition's baggage trains and camps, killing the coalition forces in the rear and fleeing, which in turn affected the front siege. force.

Because when Jaime led the attack, he changed the flags and armor of all the supporting troops to look like the Casterly Rock Guards, which made the Riverland coalition forces think that Tywin personally led the attack, and then they were defeated quickly.

After chasing all the way, the 40,000-strong coalition army was killed, and only 3,000 people were left who fled back to Riverrun. Edmure Tully and most of the lords and nobles of the Riverlands were captured, and the entire Riverlands The earth is already leaderless.

Now Jaime is preparing to pursue the victory and lead his army to approach Riverrun City, preparing to attack Riverrun City directly and completely take over the Riverlands.

"Immediately pass the order and the army will march to Harrenhal." Tywin quickly analyzed the current situation and immediately ordered the army to march towards Harrenhal, preparing to use Harrenhal as the central stronghold to implement the next plan.

When Lord Tywin began to launch an all-out attack on the Riverlands, in Winterfell in the north, Robb Stark had also completed the reorganization of his army and was preparing to set off.

"Robb, do you have to go?" Bran, who was paralyzed, was carried behind his back by his servant Hodor, and came to Robb. He looked at Robb and then at the army behind him, his face full of panic. With a look on his face, he said: "Father, mother, Sansa and Arya have all gone south, and they have not come back. I am worried..."

"That's enough, Bran!" Robb, who is also a teenager, glared at his younger brother seriously and said, "You are a member of the Stark family. Our family is as strong as the direwolves. When I left Winter When the city goes south, you will be the acting lord of Winterfell, and you must shoulder the heavy responsibility of Winterfell." As he said this, he may have felt that he was a little too harsh on his brother who had just woken up from a coma. , then his tone became softer again, and he said: "Ask Maester Luwin if you have any questions. If you don't know how to deal with the problem, put it aside for now. Mother is at my aunt's place now. She will be back after a while. , you have to take good care of Rickon at home, you are the oldest one in the family now."

"Yeah." Bran nodded vigorously while holding back the tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Bran, there are so many of us. Each Northerner can kill ten Southerners. We can easily end the battle and bring Lord Eddard back from King's Landing." Theon Greyjoy rode Riding his horse, he came to the two brothers and said a word of relief with a relaxed expression. Then, like a leader, he shouted to the northern lords and soldiers not far away: "Do you think the northerners can Kill ten southerners easily?"

"Yes!"

"Killing them is as easy as crushing a bug!"

"Those guys from the south are just a bunch of weeds!"

Most of the northerners immediately raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

Only a few people looked at Xion with disdain, as if to say, are you considered a Northerner?

At this time, suddenly there was a rush of horse hooves from the road ahead, and then one of Robb's cavalry captains who had been sent out as the vanguard was seen rushing over.

When he arrived in front of Robb, he immediately dismounted and reported: "Lord Robb, Lord Daisy Mormont of Bear Island has arrived with her team."

"She's here too," Robb said with a surprised look on his face.

The other surrounding northern lords also came together because of the news.

All the northern lords know very well that although Bear Island has been under the jurisdiction of Winterfell in name only since it changed to an earl a few years ago, in fact Bear Island is completely independent of the North and is unique. Its real controller should be the Chosen One in the far south.

This time, in response to the summons from the Northern Lords, Robb also sent a letter to Bear Island, but he did not expect that Bear Island would send troops to support him. He even learned that Lynd Terra recognized King Joffrey I's After confirming the legitimacy of the throne and saying that he would not intervene in the power struggle of the Seven Kingdoms, he did not expect Bear Island to send troops, so when he heard that Daisy Mormont, the Earl of Bear Island, personally brought people to join the war, he felt that Are you hallucinating?

With a feeling of doubt, Robb and other northern dignitaries waited for a while on the road where the team was assembled. Then they heard the deafening sound of horse hooves, and then saw a black line appearing on the wasteland ahead, and the black line appeared. It grew bigger and bigger, and gradually turned into a uniform team of cavalry, advancing quickly towards this side.

If they hadn't seen the eye-catching Bear Island flag in front of the team, they might have been so nervous that they were on alert because the pressure from the recent cavalry in front was too great.

Especially when they saw that each cavalryman was wearing exquisite cavalry armor, the spears in his hands were all steel spears, and they were wearing exquisite standard long swords, they all took a breath, and then they looked at themselves The army behind him suddenly felt an inexplicable shame.

"These should be the standard armors of Summer Hall!" Roose Bolton, Earl of the Dreadfort, approached Robb and whispered: "These armors are not for sale and can only be equipped by the troops under Summer Hall."

When Robb heard this, he couldn't help but have a bad idea in his mind.

As Roose Bolton said, the weapons of Summer Hall are the most popular products in Westeros and Essos. They are exquisite, strong and cheap. More than 90% of weapons sales.

However, everyone knows that the weapons produced by Shengxia Hall are very good, but the armors produced by Shengxia Hall are better. This can be seen from the standard armors of the armies under Shengxia Hall, but Shengxia Hall never sells armor to outsiders. Anyone who dares to sell it Anyone who wears armor or other protective equipment will be severely punished no matter how high their position.

Therefore, Bear Island is now equipped with so many armors produced by Summer Hall, which only means that Bear Island is now regarded as a force under Summer Hall. This makes Robb can't help but express his feelings towards Daisy Mormont, the former lord of Summer Hall. To support one's own purpose.

Soon the team arrived in front of Robb, and as the flag bearers in front stopped and reined in their horses, they were as uniform as if they were the same person. The overall quality of the army was so high compared to the quality of other lords in the north. .

After the army stopped, Robb did a rough count and found that there were at least six to seven thousand men, and they were all armored cavalry. There was a trace of displeasure on his face.

Then he saw the team in front split into two, revealing a road. Then he saw a group of beast cavalry riding armored bears and wearing plate armor guarding a tall woman coming from behind the crowd.

"They are the giant bear soldiers of the savage tribe outside the Great Wall." Someone immediately recognized the origin of this team of beast cavalry and whispered.

In recent years, it is not uncommon for Bear Island to accept savages from tribes outside the Great Wall. Everyone in the north knows that this incident should have been condemned by the Night Watch of the Great Wall and launched an attack, but the Night Watch chose to turn a blind eye to it. Close one eye, not only because the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch is the former Earl of Bear Island, Jeor Mormont, but more importantly, Bear Island's behavior was done at the request of Prince Lynd, the lord of Summerhall, The relationship between the Night Watchman and Linde was unusual. Most of the Night Watchmen were Linde's admirers. Therefore, even though what the Earl of Bear Island did was taboo, it did not cause much commotion.

Although the people in the North are extremely discriminatory against the Savages, they have to admit that the Savages have considerable combat effectiveness, and some special units among the Savages have left a great reputation in the North a long time ago. Among them Naturally, there are also the giant bear soldiers of the walrus people on the frozen coast.

It’s just that in the past, no one from the North has been able to conquer the Bear Soldiers, so when some people discovered that the Bear Soldiers appeared under Daisy Mormont’s command, most of them thought that what they saw was an illusion, until they saw the Bear Soldiers now. When the soldiers appeared in front of everyone guarding Daisy Mormont, they realized that those were true.

"Lord Robb Stark, I needed to summon the army after receiving your letter, so I came a few days late. I hope it didn't delay your plan." Daisy Mormont rode up to Robb and said to Robb. Bai Xingli said.

Robb suppressed his aversion to Daisy, showed an aristocratic smile, and said: "No, Earl Daisy, you came at the right time. With Lady Daisy and your people joining us, our battle will be smoother. "

Little Jon couldn't help his curiosity and interrupted: "Earl Daisy, how many people did you bring this time?"

"Six thousand people, all cavalry." Daisy replied.

Although it was expected, everyone present still couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Except for the Stark family, other families among them were as powerful as the old nobles in the north. The Bolton family only sent 4,000 people, and most of them were temporarily recruited farmers, but Daisy alone led 6,000 people. A well-trained professional cavalry, in their opinion, this is simply too exaggerated to describe in words.

This also made Robb lose the mood to continue talking with Daisy. After hastily arranging Daisy's position in the marching team, he directly commanded the Northern Alliance forces to set off.

Daisy was not surprised by the cold reception she received. She had already written to Linde before she decided to send troops, and Linde also replied, telling her what she would encounter and what those people needed. place, what she needs to do, and the attitudes of Robb and other northern lords were also written in the letter. The content was exactly the same as if Lynd was standing nearby and watching just now.
