Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 127 Golden Tooth City

"Would you believe me if I said I went to the wrong place?"

Under the cold wind blowing in late autumn, Arthur woke up a lot.

The night is terrifyingly dark, and the silence makes people flustered.

The little fire in my heart also began to go out.

He just said casually to Rosso, but he didn't expect this person to actually arrange it.

Roslin lowered her head and said nothing.

A man and a woman froze for a moment.

"I won't do anything to you, at least not now."

he added in a low voice.

If Edmure died, he could help take care of his wife, which is impossible now.

Roslin still said nothing.

Arthur recalled her character in the original book and knew that she was a rare good Frey.

Roslin's mother is Bethany from the royal Rosby family, and she abides by all the principles of nobility, so the Freys she produced, such as Paiwen, William, Olifa, and Roslin, have a high success rate. .

Old Walder's fifteenth son, Pai Wen, is a noble lord. In the original book, he was tied up by his family because he was too kind to the northerners, so he was unable to attend the Scarlet Wedding.

Now he should follow Mrs. Stark in Renly's army.

Old Walder's seventeenth son, William, is a representative of the excellent Frey. He got the chain of the Academy City before the age of 30, and is now serving the Longbow Hall of the Hunter family in the valley.

Bachelors who graduated before the age of 30 are also very rare in the entire history of Westeros.

Old Walder's eighteenth son, Oliver, is a loyal Stark family. In the original plot, even if Robb regrets his marriage, he still intends to stick to serving the Young Wolf Lord.It's just that the arms couldn't twist the thighs, and Olifa was kidnapped by her family until the end of the blood marriage.

As for Roslin, in addition to her gentle nature and good temperament, she also appreciates people with high moral character.

Even though the overall moral standard of the Frey family is not high, the few children born by Bethany can still survive the mud, which shows the character of her and the children.

After Arthur whispered a few words to comfort Roslin, he turned and left the woods.

A little drunk, it took him a while to find the way out, and then he saw the lame Rosso guarding the exit of the godswood.

After giving the cripple a cold look, Arthur walked towards the tower next to him.

Rosso blinked his little eyes, feeling a little too fast?

Then he remembered that Arthur was still unmarried and had a good reputation, so it was impossible for him to go to the accounting institute, maybe he was really a virgin.

It will be understood soon.

Of course, Rosso didn't dare to go to the "Long Family" to ask how the battle was going.

So I can only slander a few words in my stomach.

Not long after, Roslin, who lowered her head and sobbed, also came out.

She also ignored her brother and walked quickly to the main castle.

Luo Suo's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he couldn't catch up at all, and he didn't dare to call out to stop his sister.

The behavior of both of them was very strange, he thought to himself.

Did it do it, or didn't it?

After contemplating for a moment, Rosso came to the final conclusion: [-]% of the battle is actual combat.

Only in this way can the abnormality of the two be explained.

Who would talk about stealing people?
With a firm heart, he limped and walked towards the residence.

……

Arthur, who slept until noon, was woken up by shaking.

"My lord, get up quickly, I have something important to discuss."

Arthur, who had been suffering all night, sat up, and after listening to the steward of Tully's house asking him to attend the meeting in the hall, he washed up briefly, and followed him.

As soon as he arrived, he realized that something had really happened.

After Theon captured Torrhen's Square, he captured Winterfell.

"Miss Sansa, please be sure to ask His Majesty Robb to allow us to lead troops to recover the lost land." Robert was the loudest, speaking on behalf of many northern nobles.

"Just after losing Deepwood Castle and Torrhen's Square, the soldiers began to miss their homes. If the news of the fall of Winterfell spreads, everyone may be in danger and have no intention of fighting in the south." Herman Taalha said .

These two people had thought about leading troops north to recover their own castle, but no one made the order.

Greatjon raised his arms and shouted, "My lords, Kalin Bay was also captured by the ironmen. Recapturing these lands is a greater achievement than taking Casterly Rock."

Roose Bolton echoed: "Earl Amber is right. If His Majesty hadn't given me the task of conquering the western region, I would have wanted to lead troops north to recover the lost land. But I can let my illegitimate son lead troops to recover Winterfell." In the city, he has a group of supporters under him, and he can still fight well, enough to deal with the ironmen."

After Mr. Leech was abolished as the commander of the Eastern Front, the newcomers Herman Tauha and Robert had always wanted to overwhelm him in terms of military exploits, but they hadn't had the chance to show it so far.

Recapturing their castle is certainly not a very strong reason to go north, but recapturing Winterfell is different.

That is the palace of the King of the North, how can others get their hands on it?
So the two asked Sansa again to lead troops north.

Miss Stark, who knew nothing about military affairs, was at a loss by the situation, and suddenly saw her sweetheart coming, so she looked over eagerly.

Arthur's head reacted quickly. Winterfell and Kalin Bay are one of Robb's weaknesses. If he can take it back, the Young Wolf Lord can still entangle with Tywin for a long time.

Not far to the northeast of Kalin Bay is the territory of the Mandalay family.The white harbor cavalry of his family and the remaining infantry combined totaled about 500 men.

The most important thing is that the three existing towers at Carlin Crescent are protected from the south to the east and from the west, but not from the north.

If one or two thousand people were sent north from Riverrun, and with the cooperation of the Mandalay family, it would not be a problem to retake Calim Bay.

After continuing to go north, they can gather some troops and plan to take back Winterfell.

Although the ironborn's single-player combat power is beyond the charts, the number of people is too small, and it is impossible to compete with thousands of troops.

Moreover, when this army goes north, it can also prevent little skinny Ramsay Snow from causing trouble.

After Arthur nodded slightly, Sansa said: "The two adults can lead troops north to recover the lost land in the north. When my brother asks me later, he will say that is what I mean."

With Stark speaking, the matter is settled.

Everyone chattered, and discussed the composition of the soldiers going north: more than a dozen northern family soldiers, including Glover, Rythwell, Tauha, and Flint, totaled more than 300 soldiers.

It's just that in this way, the remaining troops in Riverrun City are only one or two hundred river infantry.

So Arthur asked more than 700 Stark soldiers to stay in Riverrun.

"My lords, going north to fight is still risky, and Riverrun is a city on water, without tens of thousands of troops, it is basically impossible to be captured, so I suggest that Miss Sansa stay here where it is safer. And Madam Stark went north After returning, I must have come here first, so the mother and daughter can meet each other."

Arthur said loudly to the northerners.

Madam Stark brought a dozen nobles and several times as many attendants to the south to negotiate with Renly, but she has not returned yet.

"That's my plan too. It's more convenient for Miss Sansa to stay here." Robert, with his head held high, spoke on behalf of the northerners.

For a top-notch lady like Miss Stark, many people have to be sent to protect her. It is indeed more convenient to stay in Riverrun.

After discussing for a long time, the noble knights went out of the city to prepare to lead the army according to their respective division of labor.

Of course, before leaving the city, Sansa pulled Arthur to her room, and told him to be careful and not to rush, and then hugged and gnawed for a long time before letting her sweetheart leave.

According to Robb's order, Arthur had to lead his troops from the west of the Red Fork River to the Golden Tooth City along the river road, and then under the leadership of the Great Jon, enter the Western Mountains from the path discovered by the direwolf, and then pass Sarsfield City directly attacked the southwest of the West Territory.

Arthur's main task along the way was to plunder Lannister Harbor, Corn City, Crake Hall and other places, thereby attracting the heavy cavalry regiments from Tywin's, Kevan's, or Lion's families to go south and relieve the pressure on Robb's troops .

Roose Bolton, on the other hand, proceeded from the east side of the Red Fork River to Horn Valley City, and entered the southeast of the Western Territory through Deep Cavern City.

The marching route of this road is similar to the route taken by the main force of the western region to enter the riverland at the beginning of the war, so there is no need for a guide.

Bolton's mission is also to attract the Western Territory Army to the south, but his route is mostly on the mountains and riversides, and his marching speed will be much slower than Arthur's route, and the time to enter the Western Territory is much later.

Therefore, if Arthur led a certain western border army to the south of Casterly Rock City, then Bolton's troops would not have to loot in Deep Cave City, Silver Mountain City, etc., but would directly fight along the Golden Road to Casterly Rock City. A Western Frontier Army.

Then Robb will lead his troops to fight south, and Bolton's and Arthur's troops will fight north, trying to encircle all the western border troops in the mountains of the western border and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Since the Stark infantry was left in Riverrun, there were only more than 400 people left under Arthur, including more than 2000 and 1000 people from the Frey family, and seven or eight northern soldiers including Amber, Seven, and Hornwood. There are more than [-] and [-] people in the Jing family.

The new army he formed and the mercenaries he hired stayed in Harrenhal. At that time, they thought they were just attending the wedding. They didn't expect that Robb would let him lead troops into the west, so he didn't bring many people.

While transporting the soldiers from the east bank of the Red Fork River to the west bank, a centurion captain of the Frey family invited Arthur to an inconspicuous tent somewhere.

Lifting the curtain and going in, Arthur saw only two people in the tent: Ines and Rosso.

One of these two is the commander of the Frey family's infantry, and the other is like a think tank. They don't know why they invited Arthur.

Rosso's small eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, "My lord, how was last night?"

"Nothing happened last night, I warn you not to talk nonsense." Arthur's tone was extremely sharp, threatening this person viciously.

"I understand, I understand." Rosso put away his wretched smile and became serious.

It's just that his words are not formal.

After pointing at Rosso again, Arthur asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

The bald man and the lame man glanced at each other, and the latter approached Arthur and whispered, "How about we discuss your dragon?"

The two had confirmed that there really was a black dragon in Harrenhal. Although it was young, it was indeed a fire-breathing dragon.

"How did my dragon provoke you?" Arthur asked back.

He knew that the Frey family would do anything to get the upper hand, but he didn't expect them to dare to seek another way when they were still swearing to support the Young Wolf Lord.

"If you intend to let the Targaryen family regain the Iron Throne, then our Frey family will be your solid backing." Rosso whispered.

"Stop talking nonsense, come to something real, what do you want?"

Arthur really wanted to hear where the bottom line of the Frey family was.

"The title of the guardian family of the river, the city of Riverrun, and more than ten viscounts on the south bank of the Red Fork River correspond to them. We will guarantee that there will always be four thousand soldiers fighting for you, and there will be a continuous supply of food." Luo Suo answered quickly.

Arthur flicked Rosso's forehead with his right hand, "You have a good idea. Riverrun is now owned by the Duke of Hoster, and whoever will own it in the future will be determined according to the law of succession. You can't mess around."

The Frey family has been rich for 600 years, and basically had no losses in the War of the Usurper and the War of the Five Kings, while Tully, the two Vances, the Piper, the Leighton family and other river princes all suffered considerable losses in the two wars. big.

Needless to say, Shuangbu is consuming each other's strength even in peacetime, wishing to kill each other.

The He'an family in the east has declined to the point of shame. The old earls in Hejian, such as Darry City and Maiden Spring City, were demoted and reduced by Robert because they supported the Long family in the usurper war. Feng, now the strength is not as good as before.

And only the Frey family has been pretending not to show their strength.

After the blood marriage in the original book, the Frey family stopped pretending to be a showdown, mobilized the strength of the whole family, gathered routs, hired scattered soldiers, and actually pulled together an army of more than [-] people.

In addition to the 2000 people who supported the Bolton family, there were more than [-] people rampaging in the West River. Black Wald led troops to attack Sea Front City, and Stevron's eldest son Lyman led thousands of people to surround Riverrun. , Seeing Xihejian as his own.

With an army of 8000, apart from Lannister and the three phantom gods Tyrell, Hightower, and Redwyne of the Reach, the entire continent has no opponents.

This shows how strong the true strength of the Frey family has been accumulated for 600 years.

"If Riverrun doesn't work, other earldoms are fine, such as Darry City and his family's complete territory. Two of my family married women from Darry's family, and they have the right to inherit."

Rosso covered his forehead that was shot, and tentatively asked again.

Darry City is on the south bank of the Trident River, and the complete Darry Territory can be regarded as a powerful earldom.

It was just because the Long family was supported in the usurper war, so Robert took a hand and cut it down to almost a viscount.

"You think better. With the complete Darry City territory, your Frey territory will be connected from the Twin River City to the south bank of the Trident River. At that time, no matter who it is, you will have to pay you money for crossing the river. "

If the Frey family really got the complete Darry territory, it would really be a geographical disaster.

Because the east side of the Green Fork River from Twin River City to Ruby Fork, and then to the ferry on the south bank, is all Frey's territory.

Arthur looked at Rosso, and suddenly thought of the Blackwood family from which his biological mother was born.

Anyway, I and Raventree City have formed a deadly feud, so it's better to let the Freys play Blackwood's idea.

"How about Raventree City?" Arthur asked.

Rosso's eyes lit up, and he agreed repeatedly.

Innis said: "Then it's settled. When your lord's dragon grows up, we will send troops to fight for you and regain the Iron Throne."

Arthur thought for a while. Some members of the Frey family had too low a moral bottom line to let old Walder and his eldest son be in power.

Needless to say, old Walder, the eldest son, Lyman Frey, is a scumbag. Lyman's two sons, Edwin, are cruel and ruthless by nature, and Black Walder is cruel and lustful. Not even his great-grandfather's seventh wife let go.

However, Old Walder's sons who ranked lower in the order of succession had a very unharmonious relationship with the eldest son's line.

This is also the reason why after the division of the Frey family, the eldest sons were all on the western front, while Innis, Hosting and others were all on the eastern front.

If you can make good use of this point, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

"I have conditions too, you have to make sure..."

Arthur whispered his conditions to Rosso and Innis.

The Frey family must ensure that after Old Walder, the eldest son's line cannot inherit the Twins, and the succession of Raventree City must follow the inheritance law prevailing in Westeros.

It is impossible to give the viscounty they requested directly, but the reward depends on the size of the credit.

In a word, this territory is yours if I, Arthur, give it to you. If I don't give it to you, you can't grab it.

The implications of these two points are actually quite obvious.

The fact that the eldest son's line cannot inherit the Twin River City means that this line is completely wiped out.

Inheriting Raventree City according to the rules meant that the Blackwood family would also have to be exterminated, and the relatives of Blackwood who had the right of succession before Old Walder's fourth wife would also have to die.

Innis and Rosso stared wide-eyed, and they knew exactly what these points meant.

Emmon Frey is from the Lannister camp, and under the current situation, he has been ruled out as the heir to the Twins.

The first heir of the Twin River City is Old Walder's third son, Aenis who is in this tent.

As for inheriting Raventree City according to the rules, the child born of Old Wade's fourth wife, Alyssa Blackwood, will get the claim.

And Rosso is Alyssa's first child.

In other words, under Arthur's conditions, the two benefited the most.

"My lord, I think we can swear to the gods." Innis's usually stable voice began to tremble.

If this is a good fight, it can really reach the sky all at once.

So under their guidance, Arthur made several oaths.

The content of the oath is roughly the contribution and return of both parties.

In order to ensure that it was effective, the two also asked Arthur to swear to the Valyrian god Balerion and others.

Of course he did.

Then, he stepped out of the small tent to coordinate and direct the soldiers to cross the river.

In the tent, Aenis and Rosso looked at each other quietly, and then they said the same name: "Aegon."

Naturally, this Aegon was not the Aegon of the Targaryen family, but Aegon the "Blooded" Aegon, the eldest son of Aenys.

He is naturally easy to kill, so he is naturally the best choice to get rid of Lehman, Heyward, Edwin and others.

The kinslayers don't have a good reputation, they can't lead people to do it themselves.

The two got together again and began to discuss how and when to do things.

……

evening after a day.

Even when marching fast, Arthur learned to make a decent camp for his soldiers.

The outer watchtower, the horses guarding the tent area, the wooden fence, and the passage with enough space are all there.

Chinese army tent.

The soldiers were camping, the cooks were lighting fires and cooking, and the nobles were gathering to discuss what to do with the City of the Golden Tooth.

According to intelligence, it is Davon Lannister who is in charge now. Janos, who was in charge before, was taken away by Lord Tywin, and Sir Adam Marbrand was also summoned by Tywin to take charge of the heavy cavalry, leaving dozens of soldiers behind. The captured nobleman on the south bank of the river.

In the entire Golden Tooth City, there are more than [-] soldiers, basically from the big and small families in the western region, and there are very few lion soldiers.

Greatjon waved his fist, "Her Majesty Robb's order is for us to bypass there, follow the river road, and go straight to Lannister Port."

"I won't delay the matter." Arthur asked Earl Amber to sit down first, and then said to everyone: "Use your ingenuity and wisdom to think about how to quickly win the Golden Tooth City."

Cobain was also allowed to participate in this kind of meeting, "If I have ten days, I can concoct a corrosive liquid, and then splash it in the dark, corroding the gate of Golden Tooth City, and the army can attack it gone."

"Ten days is a bit of a waste of time." Arthur did not explicitly deny this method, "Anyone else has an idea?"

Cripple Rosso had recently reached an agreement with Arthur, and it was time for him to be active.

"My lord, I have a method to make the Golden Tooth City unbreakable."

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
