"What? Joffrey, Jaime and Lefford who were responsible for protecting him are all missing?"
Tywin, who had fled to the crossroads with 15,000 Western troops in the past few days, joined up with Kevan's remaining troops and then hurriedly returned to Harrenhal. As soon as he sat down, the Mountain reported bad news to him.
"Well, it was a gold-robed captain from King's Landing who came to Harrenhal to report. More than ten days ago, Mandon Moore led three hundred gold-robed men to pursue His Majesty Joffrey, who was kidnapped by Sandor Clegane.
.
Her Majesty the Queen Mother saw that Manden had not returned to King's Landing for so long, so she sent him to Harrenhal to inquire about the specific situation.
As a result, he found hundreds of naked corpses on the King's Road near the Lake of God's Eye. From the pile of corpses, he found Mandon and the Lannister family cavalry who had been under the command of Ser Jaime.
"
"Why did your brother kidnap Joffrey? Lefford brought five hundred Lannister cavalry and Moore's three hundred gold robes. Who killed them all?"
After hearing the report from the Mountain, Tywin couldn't help frowning and expressing his doubts.
"That guy who has been fond of stealing since he was a child may have had his head burned out. I wouldn't be surprised at what he can do.
As for the murderer who attacked them, judging from what I heard at the scene, it was probably the group of rats that had been staring at us."
When Magic Mountain heard Tywin's words, he answered angrily.
"Those guys who call themselves the Brotherhood Without Banners? If they are really them, then they are developing too fast!
Before, you only dared to attack a team of about a hundred people, but now you have started to attack a team of thousands of people?"
"Lord Tywin, I have tortured out the approximate location of these rats. I asked them to do this because I was short of manpower. Now, we have enough manpower, I can guarantee that we can find their hiding place."
Looking at Tywin with a sad face, the Mountain immediately asked for orders, hoping to carry out a blanket search for the Western Army returning to Harrenhal.
"No, they are just thorns that were accidentally struck. Robb Stark is the dagger that poses a fatal threat to us.
Actually, I'm not worried about James and the others, because since we have brought James and others with us, we won't want to kill them. Instead, King's Landing..."
Even if his beloved son was arrested, Tywin could calmly analyze the pros and cons. He pondered for a moment before issuing his order,
"Write a letter to tell Cersei and ask her to declare the Six Kingdoms. His Majesty Joffrey was so diligent in national affairs that he neglected his own health. During this period, he could not afford to be ill and he has died of this illness.
Let Tommen Baratheon succeed as king!
Then, I will set off to King's Landing tomorrow to stabilize the situation. Magic Mountain, you build the defenses from Harrenhal, God's Eye Lake to the King's Road as soon as possible.
We will simply give up on other places and hold on to the last defensive line of the Riverlands!"
"As you command, Lord Tywin!"
The Mountain nodded in reply, then turned around and went out to carry out Tywin's order.
The next day, a large number of Western troops cut down trees, piled soil and began to build fortifications from the Lake of God's Eye to Harrenhal to the King's Road.
Tywin, on the other hand, rushed to King's Landing with two thousand Lannister cavalry to participate in the upcoming coronation ceremony of the king in King's Landing.
As early as Tywin fled to the crossroads with the army of the West, Robb had already led 15,000 troops from the North and the West towards the Golden Tooth City. Their goal this time was to steadily occupy the entire West.
Of course, before setting off, Robb routinely gave a pre-battle speech, then rewarded the entire army with a strong morale, and finally executed Sir Mark and others.
Except for Sir Mark, who was beheaded by Patrick without saying a word, he did it himself for the nearly a hundred Western soldiers who were cleared out.
This pre-war performance not only allowed Robb to gain nearly 200 blood points, it also greatly boosted the morale of the entire army.
The soldiers in the North and the Riverlands are eager to continue to gain military exploits, hoping to reach the pinnacle of military exploits as wealthy knights.
Most of the surrendered troops from the Western Territory are now almost half sincere in defecting to the Northern Territory. Because they saw the other small number of surrendered troops from the Western Territory fighting in the Golden Teeth City and the Battle of Riverrun City after gaining military exploits.
Not only was he promoted to a Northern citizen and enjoyed the same treatment as a Northern soldier, he was also promoted to a military position through military exploits and received a large number of silver deer rewards.
Compared with Westeros' past promotion path that focused on blood and was lifeless, the merit promotion system in the new law in the North is clearly laid out, visible and tangible.
As long as you gain enough merit in battle, you can be promoted and get everything you want!
Before leaving Riverrun, Robb also sent a raven letter to Theon's troops in Crake Hall, ordering them to gradually occupy the noble castles in the southern part of the Westerlands.
Through the information Clay obtained from prisoners at all levels, the entire Western Territory's military strength has now been basically drained by Tywin.
Except for Lannisport and Casterly Rock, which have nearly three thousand people combined, most of the other Westerland castles have only a few hundred people guarding them, and no more than a thousand at most.
With Xion's 15,000-strong army, as long as there are no unexpected situations with a very small probability, these castles can basically be taken down easily.
In the raven letter, Robb also specifically told Theon to try not to massacre the nobles of the West during the war to occupy the West, and to give them dry food for their horses and let them go to King's Landing.
The reason for doing this is, first, because outside Riverrun, Robb promised Tywin to exchange his uncle and uncle with all the nobles in the west.
He wants to show the nobles of Westeros that he is a man of his word!
Second, after Theon's troops capture the castle in the southern part of the West, the released nobles must go to King's Landing from the coastal road. And Robb is ready to let the nobles in the northern part of the West go to King's Landing from the Golden Road.
He just wanted to let the nobles on these two main avenues see that while the prestige of the Lannister family was beginning to collapse, he was erecting the prestige of his Stark family!
Robb's army did not stay too long at the Golden Teeth City, which was garrisoned by Lord Rickard. After resting that night, the army set off towards Sarsfield City.
At noon four days later, Robb's 15,000 Northern Army stood in neat formation, densely packed outside Sarsfield City.
Robb could tell from various details that Tywin was indeed very capable. His rule over the Western Territory was extremely strong, and he still refused to surrender despite being ten times more powerful than the Earl of Sarsfield, and closed the city tightly.
Of course, apart from Earl Sarsfield's loyalty to Tywin, he had some confidence in closing the city and guarding it tightly. The surrounding environment of Sarsfield City is already a mountainous area with sparse vegetation.
After he learned about the fall of Golden Tooth City, he moved all the villagers around Sarsfield City into the city, and then burned all the wooden materials in a fire.
Therefore, if the northern army wants to find wood to make siege equipment, it must go far away. Or it may simply transport siege equipment from Golden Teeth City.
However, transporting these bulky siege equipment would waste at least more than ten days.
On the way to Sarsfield City, Robb saw the felled trees and burned villages. He already knew that the Earl of Sarsfield was planning to clear the country.
Therefore, after failing to persuade him to surrender, Robb, who did not want to waste too much time in this kind of castle, chose to play in person!
Woo!!!
On the wall of Sarsfield City, the Earl of Sarsfield suddenly felt nervous when he heard the horn sound of the Northern Army. It made him think that the Northern Army had its own siege equipment.
Unexpectedly, when he took a closer look, he saw an absurdly large terrifying giant wolf slowly walking out of the enemy formation, with a figure standing firmly on the head of the terrifying giant wolf.
Suddenly, a large white mist rose from the terrifying giant wolf, directly covering the man and the wolf.
call!
A huge figure that reflected dazzling light under the midday sun quickly ran out of the white mist and ran straight towards Sarsfield City.
"Made, what are you doing standing still? Shoot the arrow quickly, shoot the arrow!"
Seeing the man and the wolf wrapped in jewel-like armor, Earl Sarsfield immediately reacted and roared angrily at the gawking soldiers on the city wall who were still in a daze.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The arrow rain from the Sarsfield defenders covered the man and the wolf who were charging quickly, but the opponent ignored the attack of these arrows and just walked straight ahead in the rain of arrows.
Ding, ding, ding!
The opponent did have such arrogant capital. The sharp arrows hit their gem armor and made a crisp sound, but they were completely unable to penetrate the defense of their gem armor.
"Giant crossbow, use giant crossbow!"
Seeing that the rain of arrows had no effect on the terrifying giant wolf, Earl Sarsfield immediately asked the defenders to control the two giant crossbows on the city wall to attack.
Boom, boom!
After a brief aiming adjustment, the two giant crossbows made loud bowstring sounds one after another, and the spears and crossbow arrows were instantly fired towards one man and one wolf.
The moment the giant crossbow fired the crossbow arrows, the terrifying giant wolf's charging posture stopped abruptly. It probably wanted to avoid the crossbow arrows through this sudden stop.
"good!!!"
Seeing a spear and crossbow arrow pierce deeply into the ground in front of the terrifying giant wolf, and another spear and crossbow arrow hitting the right front leg of the terrifying giant wolf that had stopped in an emergency, Earl Sarsfield couldn't help but cheer in excitement.
It was his idea to have two giant crossbows aim at the target one after the other!
But what Earl Sarsfield didn't expect was that the terrifying giant wolf took a step to the side and took a step from the seemingly penetrating weapon.
The spear and crossbow on its right leg came off.
Earl Sarsfield immediately opened his eyes to observe, and he discovered that the joint of the right leg of the terrifying giant wolf was twisted inward and turned into a ")" shape, just enough to avoid the spear and crossbow arrow.
It was only because the missed spear and crossbow bolt was right against its twisted right leg that Earl Sarsfield looked like it had hit and penetrated.
Snapped!
After getting away from the spear and crossbow, the right leg of the terrifying giant wolf returned to its original shape again, and it continued to charge towards Sarsfield City with all its strength.
Monster, this is definitely a monster!
Seeing the terrifying giant wolf avoiding spears and crossbows in such an absolutely weird posture, Earl Sarsfield couldn't help but feel despair in his heart.
"Lord Earl, be careful!"
While the Earl of Sarsfield was thinking wildly, an urgent warning sounded to his ears.
"Be careful..."
Earl Sarsfield subconsciously asked, but suddenly a huge force came from directly in front of the bed, taking him backwards and slamming him against the wall of the tower.
Phew? This is...
The Earl of Sarsfield was violently impacted and spat out a large mouthful of blood. He looked down and saw an ice crystal spear stuck in his chest that looked like a work of art.
"Ah! Rescue the Earl quickly!"
Looking at the soldiers defending the city who had shrunk a lot out of thin air, Earl Sarsfield realized that he was nailed high to the tower wall by this ice crystal spear.
Monster!...
Looking at the terrifying giant wolf approaching outside the city, and the figure above it standing firmly and changing its throwing posture, not only did I let out a final sigh in my heart.
"Your Majesty the Earl, he is dead!"
The soldiers guarding the city looked at Earl Sarsfield's head and hands that suddenly dropped, and they suddenly let out a howl similar to crying.
Blood Wind, freeze the city gate with ice breath!
Robb watched the commander dressed as a noble being killed by the ice spear he threw, and he immediately said to Bloodwind in his heart.
call!
A tornado of ice mist as thick as a bucket sprayed out from the mouth of the Bloodwind Wolf, instantly freezing a large area of Sarsfield City Gate.
As the blood wind magic power continued to be output, the white ice crystals spawned by the tornado ice fog gradually covered the entire iron oak door.
Looking at the Sarsfield city gate getting closer and closer, Robb turned around and jumped from Bloodwind's head back to its back and sat down firmly.
Bang, click!!!
The bloody wind slammed into the city gate covered with ice crystals with its powerful charging energy. A violent impact sounded, and the entire ice crystal gate was directly hit and shattered into pieces.
Woo!
The northern army that had been waiting for a long time immediately sounded the horn of charge. Fifteen thousand majestic men eager for military success came towards Sarsfield City, whose gate was forcibly opened.
After rushing into Sarsfield City, Robb once again stood on Bloodwind's huge wolf head. He preferred this condescending feeling to riding on its back.
Since Xue Feng obtained the [Control] skill, it has absolute control over its body and can perform many difficult actions.
For example, when he twisted his joints to avoid spears and crossbows just now, or during the charge just now, the bloody wind that moved his body violently kept his head absolutely stable.
This latter point reminded Robb of a post he had seen in his previous life, about a rooster with a camera. The stability of the chicken head was better than that of a professional stabilizer.
Therefore, no matter what kind of creature the body is, it contains huge potential, but it is difficult to develop it by itself.
But Xue Feng has now begun to gradually develop his body, and I believe there will be even more incredible performances in the future!
Ta-ta-ta!
Groups of soldiers guarding the city on the stone stairs of the city wall hurriedly came to the city gate. They looked at the man and the wolf standing quietly, and some didn't know what to do.
Robb stood on top of Bloodwind's head, looking down like a god on the group of defenders who gathered at the city gate, holding weapons but not daring to attack.
He lowered his voice and said in what he thought was a more dignified voice: "I am Robb Stark, and Tywin Lannister was defeated by me in Riverrun.
Surrender to me, and you will have a better life and more promotions than you have now..."
call out!
Ding!
Before Robb finished speaking, he saw a ray of cold light flashing from the left side of his eye. He quickly raised his left hand, and a cold arrow shot by an unknown person hit the ice armor of his left hand and bounced away.
"Avenge the Count!"
"Kill!"
Among the crowd, a shout of revenge for the Earl of Sarsfield rang out. Instantly igniting the fighting spirit of the defenders, they all raised their weapons and charged towards Bloodwind and Robb.
He originally wanted to subdue the soldiers defending the city through his domineering speech, but he was interrupted by someone very rudely. Robb, with a look of displeasure on his face, turned around and pulled out the ice from Xue Feng's neck.
He threw it hard at the crowd of rushing city defenders, instantly nailing three of the city's defenders who were standing close together.
After condensing two more ice crystal swords with his hands, Robb jumped directly from the top of Bloodwind's head to the position of the ice.
"Since you don't want to surrender, then become a blood pact point!"
