"Davos, where did you get the news? Is it reliable?" Stannis asked with a puzzled look on his face. 氪
Now that the world is at peace, there are a lot of wars of words between nobles. But except for the two feuding families of Bracken and Blackwood, I have never heard of any armed conflict between the nobles of the Riverlands and the West. Why did it suddenly happen?
A large-scale military gathering was launched.
Robert's parade took away the ministers of all the kingdoms in King's Landing, leaving only the officials who managed the city. Wherever he went, it was equivalent to moving the royal city, and information from various places was sent to Robert instead of King's Landing.
If people who still stay in the city want to obtain information, they must either lag behind or have their own channels.
Davos: "The news came very suddenly. Our spies, retired navy and businessmen have verified each other and all confirmed the accuracy of the news."
Renly raised his eyebrows and asked Davos: "Edmure and Tywin are going to fight? That's not right. Tywin's army in the West is going north. If the Riverlands want to confront the army in the West, why should they go south to assemble at Riverrun?
What are you doing at Old Frey's Twins in the north?"
"Do you have a map here?" Werther asked Stannis.
"Yes." Stannis raised his head toward the door. Davos opened the door and walked outside. Within a minute, he took a map and spread it on the coffee table.
Davos leaned over and pointed to the Twins City on the map: "My lords, three Dukes, this time the army in the Riverlands was not recruited by Duke Edmure Tully, but by the Frey family."
p>
"Old Frey? He is 93 years old and still has the spirit to fight? Who is he going to deal with?" Far away in Tyrosh, there was no news about old Frey for a long time. Werther thought Walder Frey had died of old age. "I don't know! The news coming from the Riverlands is inconsistent. Old Frey summoned his sons and his knights, and began to recruit the peasant army, Charlton, Enford, and Hay.
A family loyal to Frey also responded to the call. But Old Frey did not declare which family or force he wanted to deal with. This military strength cannot be underestimated. The number of troops currently gathered near the Twins is estimated to have exceeded 4,000." p>
Davos's finger turned south from the area near the Twins:
"The army in the West was not summoned by Tywin. Only the Lefford family of the Golden Tooth City sent troops north. However, Jaime Lannister, in his own name, called on many young knights from the West to follow him to the Riverlands." James's personal prestige in the West is very high. As the heir to the West, he is in his prime in his thirties. He is handsome and has strong martial arts skills. Apart from the magician, James's martial arts is also among the best in the Seven Kingdoms. He wiped out the royal forest at the age of fifteen.
Brotherhood, was knighted by the previous generation of Dawn Sword Arthur Dayne. He served as the Kingsguard, symbolizing the highest honor, and even cut off the king's head. This is not something that ordinary knights can do. He and his sister Cersei
His scandal was also covered up by Tywin, and James was a flawless knight in the eyes of countless people.
Tywin is the core of the middle-aged and elderly nobles in the West, and Jaime is the second-ranked idol of countless young people in the West. Young people unite around him. Jaime can easily call on at least 500 young knights in his own name.
Follow him north to the Riverlands.
Jaime was only ranked second in the minds of the young people in the West, and the idol ranked first was the great art pioneer Veidt Baratheon! The artists of Highgarden and Tyrosh influenced the world through the traveling caravans.
The power has spread to Lannister Port. Once in the port, in front of a two-meter-high statue of Werther with a clean buttocks, Jaime admitted in person in front of all the young nobles that he was not as good as Werther because he did not want to take off his pants on the spot to prove it.
krypton
"There are at least 5,000 people in the Twins plus the army from the West. The Frey family and the Lannister family have many marriages. Is there any conspiracy between the two families? It's not like dealing with the Vale. There is no Edmure in the Riverland.
Old Frey privately launched an attack on the valley under the Duke's order. This is a serious crime that can result in deprivation of the fiefdom." Renly was also confused about what these people were going to do.
"Did something happen to Duke Edmure?"
Stannis thought of a possibility that Frey and Tywin wanted to plot the Dukedom of the Riverlands.
Davos: "Edmure is living well in Riverrun. He seems to know something about the situation, and he also vetoed Old Frey's suggestion to recruit the entire Riverlands. Currently, there is no Sealand City closest to the Twins.
Responding to the call for war, Patrick Mallister, the son of the Earl of Seaside City, is also in Riverrun."
"The army of the Westerlands is definitely not looking for trouble with Frey. The two families have jointly sent out so many troops. Does old Frey want to clear out the wildlings next to his territory?" Renly said and laughed.
Purging the savages from the Mingyue Mountains has been a joke in the Riverlands and Valleys for thousands of years, but many nobles often recruit troops to collect taxes and make a fortune in this name.
"It's really possible!" Krypton
Witte pointed back to the map: "Look, before Cersei and Joffrey appeared in King's Landing, they were accused of being impostors and issued a wanted order. They did not dare to take the land route. If they took the sea route to bypass the valley, they would encounter danger in the Neck area.
Go to the wildlings. The other is Jaime. What kind of person can Jaime lead the team to rescue in person? Only his lover Cersei and son Joffrey!"
Thinking of the shame of being deceived by Tywin, Renly's face fell: "If they were kidnapped by wildlings in the Neck, and Frey and the Westerlanders went to rescue them, the time of departure from King's Landing by boat would be right.
! But there is another problem. The savages are divided into countless tribes. It takes 5,000 people to rescue people from a savage tribe? He, Old Frey, does not have the kindness to clear out the Mingyue Mountains."
Stannis: "That's true. You don't need so many troops to deal with the wildlings, and if you don't send troops to encircle the wildling valley, the Freys alone can't form an encirclement."
"Vampire!"
Werther was suddenly startled, squinted his eyes and clenched his fists and asked Davos: "Is there any news about vampires in the Riverlands?"
Davos recalled it carefully and then shook his head: "No news has been received so far. There is a large-scale recruitment of famous farmers in the territory of Twins City. Now that military management is implemented, no news can be spread. Duke Edmure also reports to the police if he has any questions.
King Robert reports."
Stannis: "Robert's parade started from the old town and went north to the Golden Tree City of the Prime Minister Rowan's family. Then he went north along the west coast from the Ancient Oak City to the Westerland and passed the Crake Hall. Robert is currently heading to Lannister Port
On the way.”氪
Wirth: "No wonder Tywin didn't dare to launch an army and only let Jaime go to the north in his own name. It turned out that Robert was coming to his home soon."
The king was on a tour of the Seven Kingdoms and had to go to the West. The last payment of Tywin's personal compensation to Robert happened to be paid this year. Robert was terminally ill again and saw Tywin for the first time in so many years. Cersei and Qiao
Foley pretended to be resurrected again. I really don’t know what the two of them were going to talk about.
As for Tywin's plan to kill Robert, Werther believes that as long as he and Renly are alive and Tywin does not suffer from Alzheimer's disease, it will not happen. Instead, Tywin will do his best to protect Robert's life in the Westerlands.<
/p>
"Old Frey made such a big noise, Edmure should have reported it to the king. It seems that our previous plan has to be changed." Werther turned to Renly and said:
"Ignore him for the time being for his conspiracy against us. We will do whatever we need to do and catch any clues as soon as possible. The most important thing now is the Riverlands! I am very worried that Frey is going to deal with vampires. I went to the Riverlands.
I’ll put it aside for now, and I’ll set off to the West to find Robert later.”
Renly: "I will arrange for the vampire on your ship to be paraded through the streets tomorrow morning."
Stannis: "Most of the soldiers in the royal fleet are currently resting in King's Landing. I will ask them to help the golden robes maintain order." Krypton
Werther thought again: "Renly, I have no friendship with Old Frey. You write a letter to Old Frey in the name of the Magic Management Committee. If it is really a vampire, Old Frey should ask the magician for help."<
/p>
"Looking at how nervous you two are, are vampires really that troublesome?" Stannis had received Werther's report about Tyrosh and felt that he was at the same level as Master Qyburn and Master Thoros, so it was not difficult to deal with him. "The news I announced was deliberately good."
Witte held his forehead: "The most troublesome thing about vampires is that after biting people, they can inject blood and blood to quickly reproduce and produce descendants. Just like the White Walkers, their numbers will increase exponentially in a short time."
"I'll do it later."
Seeing is believing, and hearing is believing. Stannis still trusts Werther and Renly, and it is really hard to tell for others. It took nearly ten years for people in Westeros to accurately understand magic.
It took nearly five years for people in the big trading city-state to know Werther's true strength. Now vampires have appeared again. Many people think that vampires are things created by magicians to fool people. The greedy Duke Werther is short of money again. p>
Werther was very troubled by this. The dissemination of information is a university subject, and people will not believe it just because you say it. Even in this world, many foreigners still believe that in the countries before Werther traveled through, men still had the same hair on the back of their heads as they did a hundred years ago.
Long braids. The Werthers of this world have tried their best. 氪
The leisurely time was broken by the news brought by Davos. The four people who walked out of the small room had ugly faces and walked quickly without saying a word. Now Werther and Renly are no longer young, even if they are angry again,
The magic power in the body will not escape out of the body out of control.
Margaery, the little rose, who was studying the large vase decorations, saw the four of them, quickly put away her relaxed expression, walked to Renly and took his arm and asked: "What happened? Is there anything I can do to help?"
?"
Renly: "Write to your father and your brother Willas to have silver weapons begin to be smelted in the Reach."
"Ah! Are there vampires in the Reach?" Loras said in surprise. He and Margaery had listened to Werther's analysis at Storm's End. In addition to the two in Tyrosh, there are currently four vampires.
Whereabouts unknown.
Werther: "Most of these vampires are transformed from wildlings, and their knowledge and strategy are not as good as ours. I'm going to find Robert this time. If there are vampires in the Riverlands, I will go there myself. If no vampires appear, then
The matter of Frey's conscription will be settled by King Robert."
"I really hope it's Old Frey who's messing around." Margery touched her chest worriedly and said, she really didn't want to see that ugly monster a second time.
That night, after the vampire was taken out of the cabin of the Waverider and escorted all the way to Renly's house for detention, Qyburn and Thoros also came here as temporary guards. Krypton
Renly's bodyguard currently only has four people including Loras, and he plans to announce his recruitment of bodyguards again during the parade tomorrow.
Renly changed Ser Parmen Cleon's cloak and robe over his armor to purple, Ser Robert Royce to red, and the tall female warrior Brienne to blue.
In the hall, everyone looked curiously at Witte, who was wearing dragon bone armor.
Werther wears this armor in many battle stories, but Werther is a troublesome person. Unlike other nobles who often wear armor, they usually wear whatever is comfortable. This set of dragon bone armor is usually kept in the castle bedroom.
Gray has never been worn in Tyrosh, and it is also the first time it appears on the continent of Westeros.
"Duke Werther, can I touch him?" Instigated by Robert and Brainy, Parmen Klein walked up to Werther and asked.
Parmen's sister is Renly's magic apprentice, the wizard Menedith Crane, who is now known as the "Falcon of the Red Lake". His relationship is slightly closer to Werther.
Werther didn't mind, but still reminded him: "The armor is very hot! You'd better take off your gauntlets, otherwise it will be difficult to take them off when your gauntlets get hot." Krypton
Parmen nodded, and Robert and Brainy also came over. The three of them took off their gauntlets, touched Werther's huge keel shoulder armor, and then shrank back. They felt a very obvious burning sensation, like being touched.
Like a piece of red-hot iron.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Robert, who had a large collection of armors at home, was very interested in the armor and reached out to try it again.
"Ah!" He retracted his arm within two seconds after touching the keel on the armor. Luo Ba raised his hand, and the tips of his three fingers that touched the armor were already red.
"Haha, there will be three big blisters tonight! You deserve it." Parmen joked. The three of them still don't know what happened. They only know that tomorrow's task is to escort the vampires on the street. There is no conclusion yet.
Previously, Werther and others did not disclose news about the Riverlands for fear of causing panic.
The giant dragon took off from the hill above the magic school, spread its wings and flew across King's Landing at low altitude at night. The people still walking on the street raised their heads and saw a figure stretching out his arms from the roof of Renly's house to grab him.
The dragon's claws jumped continuously on the body covered with scales, jumping to the top of the dragon's head every few times, then circled over King's Landing and climbed to a height before flying westward.
The current King's Landing is no longer the information center of the Seven Kingdoms. The messenger crows are not broadcasters. Each one has a fixed flight route. The information is summarized to Robert's mobile court. Witte, who is lagging behind in information, has no choice but to go to Robert.
Bob.
"Is Duke Werther a magician or a warrior?" Brienne looked at the dragon flying away in the sky and asked her two colleagues. Krypton
Parmen: "Magician, right."
Robert: "Lord Renly, the one who wears robes like this is a magician. There is no magician who wears heavy armor and holds a two-handed giant sword. It is different from the image in my mind."
~~~
The five hundred well-armed young knights led by Jaime moved very quickly. On the night of Werther's departure, Jaime went to Riverrun City, and Edmure Tully led the troops in his castle out of the city.
After negotiating with James, the two marched north to the Twins City together.
