Chapter 322: The more relatives there are, the more opportunities there are for strong men.
Guards were on alert around the camp, and the rest of the people took shelter in their tents to rest due to the drizzle. Werther quietly floated from the sky directly to the center of the camp. No one noticed that there was an extra person in the camp until he landed.
Retreat
In the center of the camp were the tents of the nobles. Outside the tents were the banners with their respective family crests. Werther recognized them as nobles from the Riverlands and the Westerlands, as well as the golden lions of Lannister and the silver trout of House Tully.<
/p>
"It seems that this is Edmure and James's barracks."
It's easy to find the general, the luxury tent in the center of the camp is there.
The mud was trampled to pieces by horses and people. Werther would never step on something that looked like feces. Every step he took was on flat ice, and the mud had already formed a layer when his feet came close to the ground.
Solid ice, an icy road exuding white cold air, gradually formed as Werther advanced.
"Who are you?"
A young knight's attendant emerged from a tent on the ice roadside. Seeing Werther's strange look, he asked. Before Werther could answer, he rolled away and ran away, shouting: "Enemy attack! The monster is coming.
Got it!"
"Fuck!" Werther cursed. Retreat
Not everyone has seen Werther's dragon bone armor, the large bone fragments, the ferocious shoulder armor, and the horns on the black helmet. The drizzle falling on the armor made a squeaking sound, and the evaporating mist shrouded the surroundings.
Werther's body looked blurry, and there was an icy road exuding white coldness under his feet, making him look like a devil. Originally, the people from the West were here to fight monsters, so the little attendant was scared away by Werther's appearance. "Just in time, let them come out to see me." Thinking of this, Werther stood there waiting for Edmure and the others to come out.
It was daytime now. When someone shouted that the enemy was attacking, the barracks exploded instantly. Countless people yelled and rushed out with weapons. After finding the direction and running to Witte, they did not dare to move.
"Be careful, this is a powerful magician!" Someone with a little knowledge.
The ones running fast were all young soldiers, and a large circle quickly formed around Werther, all of them pointing weapons at Werther. They were doing their job as soldiers, and they were doing a pretty good job. Werther would not care about their treatment of him.
Rude, by the way Werther also started to observe them.
Judging from their clothes, in addition to the soldiers who surrounded them first, it didn't take long before nobles began to squeeze through the crowd to the front. Witte discovered that among the nobles who came, there were many young women from the Western Region with blond hair.
It’s not that Werther looks down on women’s combat effectiveness. This is very common in Dorne and Tyrosh. Werther’s own bodyguards have many women. What’s strange for Werther is that the customs of the Seven Kingdoms are similar but also different. In the Western Army that Werther himself knows
Women rarely appear, and some are responsible for logistics and will not appear in frontline camps. The women in the Western Region who appear now have obviously only received simple military training, which can be seen from the way they hold swords. Exit
"Duke Werther?" a 30-year-old blond man holding a sword asked.
"I am Werther." Werther did not recognize him.
"My name is Davon Lannister, and I was the Lance Captain of the West during the Siege of Tyrosh." Only the mouth and two eyes of Werther's helmet are exposed, and the smoke can't be seen clearly. The armor was also made after the war.
Davon had only heard of it but had never seen it before. Werther replied that he waved to the people around him to put down their weapons, but did not lift the alert.
"Werther?"
Edmure squeezed through the crowd and came to the front to look at Werther. Edmure was only halfway through wearing the armor, and his hands were still tied with the shoulder straps.
Boom~~~
There was a dull explosion in the distance, and everyone turned their heads to look over. On a hill not far from the camp, a giant red and white dragon that was larger than Riverrun had just landed. It folded its wings and raised its neck.
Look towards the camp. Retreat
"Oh, it's really Duke Werther!" Edmure said, familiar with the situation, and came over to pull Werther into the tent.
Edmure and Werther don't know each other very well. They have met at some ceremonies, and Werther also worked together briefly when Werther was the interim Prime Minister. But Edmure and Robert are very familiar with each other. They have the same hobbies, and Edmure is still in King's Landing.
The first high-level VIP of Cheng Robert store.
Werther turned sideways to avoid his outstretched hand: "Be careful! It's hot!"
"Oh~~, this thing, haha, please come over here. Do you have anything important to do?" Edmure retracted his arm in embarrassment.
Werther did not answer him: "I came with the king's order. Let's talk after we enter the tent."
"Quickly ask the messenger to lift the alert and everyone disperse!" Davon Lannister commanded everyone to leave here. At the same time, he also told the messenger to ask the nobles to go to Edmure's tent.
The king has a formal order to Duke Edmure. According to tradition, as long as it is not a secret order, the more people present to witness it, the better. This is an opportunity for the party receiving the order to show that they are valued. Some people will never have the opportunity to receive a direct order from the king in their lifetime.
.Retreat
The tent here is a military tent, not as luxurious as King Robert's tour tent. In addition to sleeping beds, the tent is large enough to accommodate dozens of troops gathering together for a meeting.
Edmure sat on the main seat facing the tent curtain. Werther declined the wooden chair brought by the attendant and sat on the ice chair made by his own magic. This is the disadvantage of wearing dragon bone armor. The high temperature can easily damage the chair.
The paint and decorative fabrics ignited, and Werther didn't want flames to burst out from under his butt while he was talking.
Edmure was very talkative, so Werther took off his helmet, put his giant sword next to the ice chair, and started chatting with him. The nobles in the military camp entered the tent one after another and took their seats. Edmure introduced them to Werther one by one. Most of the nobles from the Riverlands came in.
Coming from near Riverrun, Edmure has never issued a recruitment order, and these people have all taken the initiative to follow him to help.
The door curtain opened again, and people from the West came in.
James, who was walking in the front, nodded to Werther and then sat opposite Werther. The two sat on either side of Edmure, one on the left and the other on the right. The people coming from the river were the lords and their families, both middle-aged and young.
.The Western Region is different. All the people here are young people.
Before entering the tent, James learned from Davon that Werther was coming. He was worried that Werther was after Joffrey, but Werther did not talk about it directly.
Last month, Adam Marbrand was let go by the barbarians in the valley and went to collect the ransom alone. The barbarians only gave him a month, and it would be too late to return to the West. Adam could only go to the nearest Twin River City to find Old Frey.
Only the speed of the messenger crow can reach the Western Territory in a few days. Retreat
Soon the messenger crow from Casterly Rock flew to the Twins. Since the distance to the West was too far and the time was only one month, Tywin first borrowed money from the Frey family in the name of the Duke to pay the ransom, and the returned money was then presented to him.
And asked the Frey family to send troops to assist.
There was also a letter to Adam, with only a few words on it, to save his daughter Cersei. Adam was the commander of the cavalry in the West and was deeply appreciated by Tywin. He quickly understood the meaning of the letter. Cersei must be redeemed, while the others,
For example, Joffrey, originally named Duny, his guard hound, Tywin's brother's son Lancel, and others are not included in this mission.
Adam was loyal to the Duke of the West, and the order must be carried out. He and the Frey family's army found the wildlings to negotiate, handed over the ransom, and rescued Cersei. The two returned to Casterly Rock City together. The internal news that came out was that the kidnapper Duny and others could not be found.
The human savage tribe is gone.
But Adam knew that Joffrey was the son of Jaime and Cersei. One was his good friend Jaime who had grown up together, and the other was Cersei, who was closely related to him. Jaime and Cersei were still siblings.
Sons of men must be saved, but they dare not disobey their father, Lord Tywin's orders. Such a complicated relationship once made Adam so entangled that he drank heavily every day.
Until James, who was released from house arrest by Tywin, came to him and asked. Adam, who felt guilty, did not dare to tell Tywin about abandoning Duny, so he made an excuse, saying that Duny and the others were traded to another tribe by the savages.
You must have enough manpower to enter the Mingyue Mountains to find it.
Not long after, news came from the Twins that monsters appeared there and the Frey family wanted to mobilize troops. James took this opportunity to recruit a group of young knights in the West to go to the Riverlands under the pretext of hunting monsters.
After discussing with his cronies, James decided to take it one step at a time, and it would be best to find a way to lead Werther to other places. Retreat
There is no personal grudge between Werther and James. What James did made the family pay the price, and Werther's industry has nothing to do with the West. If James could control his lower body back then, maybe the two of them would have been very good friends.
.
According to etiquette, James began to introduce the nobles of the West to Witte.
"This is Sir Adam Marbrand, the commander of the Western Cavalry, a friend I grew up with." James introduced a one-eyed dragon wearing an eyepatch.
"Branded City, a nice place!" Witte said politely, but he thought of another thing. During the golden robbery that year, he learned through interrogation of the fugitives that Littlefinger and Ramsay first appeared in Branded City.
within the territory.
"On behalf of my father Damon, I would like to welcome Duke Werther to Brand City as a guest at any time." Adam saluted Werther and sat down under James.
James then introduced the man and two women who came over: "This is Ser Davon Lannister, whom you just met. He is the son of my mother's brother."
Wirth: "That's right. He doesn't panic in the face of chaos, and his command is measured!" Retreat
"Thank you Duke Wit for forgiving me for my previous rudeness. The important military camp has to be guarded." Davon is about the same figure as Jaime. He wears the Lannister family's light gold armor with red glaze, and has long golden shawl hair and
His rough palms showed that he was a well-trained hand, but his face was not as handsome as James's.
James: "These two are Davon's twin sisters, Serena Lannister and Myriel Lannister."
"Hello, two beautiful ladies, are you coming to fight too?" Werther thought it would be better to ask clearly, lest they encounter vampires and use them as food in vain.
The two girls with similar faces did not wear armor, but put on formal dresses and carried them all the way into the tent. There were thin drops of water on their hair.
When her sister Salina saw Werther looking at the open necklines of their formal dresses, she puffed up her chest and said with a smile: "We came here to participate in the battle, because Duke Werther changed into formal dresses specially when he arrived. If Duke Werther doesn't like it, we will go out immediately.
Change into armor."
"No, no need." The two sharp-tongued little girls turned out to be bad guys, and Werther waved them to sit down.
Miriel: "Thank you, Duke." Retreat
I don’t know who she said it to.
Next, three men and one woman came in. They were relatives of the James family. Because they were young and had no title, they had to queue behind the others.
Two young men who look exactly the same are the second and third sons of Kaifen. They are currently serving as Jaime's knight attendants. They are a pair of twins. The elder brother is called William Lannister and the younger brother is called Martin Lannister. They follow Jaime.
I came here to save my brother Lancel.
"The two young men are very energetic and have a bright future!"
Witte remembered who these two brothers were. If he hadn't arrived, the two brothers would have been captured by Robb's army, and then stabbed to death by Karstark in the cell.
Both of them had blond hair and green eyes. William looked more mature. After bowing to Edmure and Werther, he sat down in a proper manner. His younger brother Martin stretched his head and looked around.
A young man slightly older than the twins is called Tirek Lannister. He has the same green eyes, but Tirek has longer hair. His father is Tywin's younger brother, a very good martial artist.
The powerful knight died of smallpox. Retired
"You will be as good as your father!" Werther was almost at a loss for words and couldn't find many words to praise the young man.
"Thank you, Duke Werther." Werther also noticed that the hilt of the sword on Tirek's waist was very old, probably caused by long-term use. His martial arts skills should be pretty good among his peers.
Next came a blond girl named Jay Hisham. A bastard child who could grow up in the Lannister family and live in Casterly Rock, and appear with relatives of the Lannister family, Veidt had never heard of her.
name, turned to look at James.
Jaime put his hand on the Valyrian steel sword at his waist and said: "Her father is Gillian Lannister."
"Your father is a great navigator." Vert remembered that Jillian helped the Lannister family to find the missing Valyrian steel sword Guangxiao, who disappeared in the ruins of Valyria and never came back.
, which makes sense. Jillian was not married when he went to sea. His only illegitimate daughter, Tywin, must be taken back to Casterly Rock to be raised.
"Thank you Duke Werther for recognizing your father." Jay Hisham sat next to his two sisters, looking at the giant sword Werther placed next to him and the three girls whispered.
The person named Lannister alone took a long time to introduce, and then the other young nobles in the West made Witte's mouth dry. It was the first time they met, and the etiquette of the nobles was indispensable. Exit
"Are you here to fight witches? Fortunately, with a magician like you here, no matter whether they are real witches or liars, they will all be exposed!" Edmure turned sideways and said to Werther with a smile.
Werther took out the imperial order given by Robert: "Let's see it for ourselves first."
The bachelor who came with Edmure took it and read it first. After reading it, he looked at Werther in shock. He unconsciously clutched the imperial order written on the parchment tightly and did not let go.
Werther: "If there was not a real possibility of vampires appearing, I would not have come. Bachelor, please give the royal decree to Duke Edmure first."
"I'm sorry, I was too surprised. I really didn't expect such a thing." The bachelor came out with the army. The news of the vampire parade in King's Landing only reached Riverrun, and it would be a few days later before it reached here.
This time the king's order was not just for the Duke of the Riverlands, Edmure. Werther did not speak anymore, waiting for the nobles present to pass on the order.
James tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, and after discussing with the one-eyed Adam, he looked at Werther: "If there were really vampires, Werther, what would you do?" Retreat
Wirth: "I will follow the king's order, exercise my duties as the chief military commander of the Seven Kingdoms, and fully take over the command of the armies of the Riverlands and the West!"
