In addition, there are those mercenaries on the other side of the narrow sea. These guys are cruel and love to maim people.
On the way here, you must have seen the landscape they left behind:
The whole village was burned down, the women were raped and dismembered, the slaughtered children were left dead in the wilderness without being buried, and were allowed to be eaten by wolves and wild dogs... Even the dead could not bear this kind of scene! "
The Riverlands are a rich, fertile, and densely populated land.
The dense network of rivers running through it facilitates the exchange of manpower and materials in the riverlands.
In peacetime, the river was full of fishermen's boats, large grain-carrying ships traveling down the river, and merchants' pontoon boats wandering along the river...
However, during the "War of the Five Kings", the Riverlands served as the main battlefield. Sovereignty changed hands repeatedly, civilians suffered persecution, and the economy and production were greatly damaged.
"My brother Edmure would be mad if he knew!"
Lady Catelyn turned pale and trembled with rage.
"Lord Edmure is a good lord, but he is not very good at fighting. I heard that he became a prisoner of Jaime Lannister a long time ago." Domeric shook his head helplessly.
"Not only Edmure, but Robb has also become a prisoner of the 'Kingslayer'."
"This is really terrible!" Domeric sighed.
"Domi, I heard that you captured Tyrion and Kevan Lannister. Is this true?" Lady Catelyn asked urgently.
"That's right!"
"Then can you use them to exchange hostages with the 'Kingslayer'? One of them is the 'Kingslayer''s brother, and the other is his uncle...
Domi, please save Robb and my brother Edmure. I have already lost Ned and I don’t want to lose them again. "Lady Catelyn begged.
"Ma'am, don't do this."
"I'll do anything to save Robb and Edmure!"
"Anything?" Domeric couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth and glanced at Mrs. Caitlin.
This mother-in-law is only in her 30s now, and her charm is still there.
She has a tall and plump figure, a straight nose, fair skin, a slender waist, round parts, white and big, and plump thighs put together... She is simply a mature Max version of Sansa!
The young Lady Catelyn must be an outstanding beauty, otherwise how could she be so obsessed with "Littlefinger" Petyr!
But now, fine wrinkles appear at the corners of her eyes, and her maroon hair has become dry and split. Her skin seems to be as white as milk, but it has become slightly looser, like a flower after blooming...
Lady Catelyn felt Domeric's gaze, which was one of masculine aggression.
Is it your own delusion?
This is obviously her son-in-law!
"Ma'am, I will do my best."
Domeric had no choice but to respond first, "But what you can't get on the battlefield is hard to get at the negotiation table..."
Domeric clearly did not want to continue the topic.
"Gods for God, I know all these things, but... I have lost Ned and the cornerstone of my life.
If I lose my son and brother, I can't bear it..." Lady Caitlin continued to beg, her plump granary holding Domeric's arm uncontrollably swaying.
"Okay, actually I have already written to the 'Kingslayer', expressing my willingness to exchange prisoners, but..."
At this point, Domeric raised his eyebrows and said, "Which one do you want to exchange, Robb or Lord Edmure?"
Domeric issued a soul torture.
"Domi, what do you mean?" Mrs. Caitlin asked doubtfully.
"Although I have two captives, 'Little Devil' Tyrion and Kevan Lannister, I estimate that I can only exchange one person."
"Why can't we swap two at the same time?"
"'Little Devil' Tyrion is only the second son of Duke Tywin, Ser Kevan is just his younger brother, and Robb is the Duke of Winterfell and Lord of the North, Lord Edmure... you also know Horst The old Duke is terminally ill, and it is almost certain that Lord Edmure will inherit the throne of the Riverlands and Riverrun."
"Even if Tywin and the 'Kingslayer' cared about their younger brother, they wouldn't be able to exchange two dukes for two second sons!"
"I think the best case scenario is to switch to someone else."
At this moment, there was a hint of indifference and impatience in Domeric's eyes.
Mrs. Caitlin suddenly realized that her son-in-law had become a lot stranger. Was it the war that made him grow up so fast?
Or is his status as "Hand of the King" making him proud?
Lady Catelyn sighed, "Domi, tell me seriously, are you sure you can defeat Lannister?
The Greatjon said, you can't defeat Lord Tywin and the 'Kingslayer' at the same time!
Old Karstark believes that with your current strength, you have every chance of defeating the Lannister family..."
"I can't say for sure before the war begins."
Domeric shook his head and changed the topic: "Madam, are you willing to return to Winterfell?
You should stay away from the front lines while taking control of the North.
In order to prevent the Iron Islands from siding with Tywin and sending troops to attack the North, I am going to write a letter to ask my father, Lord Luce, to lead his army back to the North to deal with possible dangers..."
"I'm not going anywhere! Before Robb and the others come back." Lady Catelyn said stubbornly.
That's a good feeling!
Now all the power in the north fell into the hands of the Bolton family.
Domeric tried his best to maintain the sad expression on his face, but he couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.
He was almost suffering from internal injuries!
Chapter 220 The real power, purge
The coalition forces commanded by Domeric stayed at Harrenhal to rest for more than half a month.
On the one hand, they were repairing weapons and armor, and replenishing supplies, especially the "divine fire" they carried, which was used up when the walls of Harrenhal were blown down.
Without the "divine fire" transported from Gushanling, Domilik's four artillery pieces would have become scrap metal. Although they can only be used to siege cities, they are of little use in field battles...
The second aspect is to call in reinforcements.
For the nobles of Westeros, many messages are delivered faster than a messenger crow.
Just as Domeric expected.
As soon as the news spread that he defeated Tywin Lannister and captured Harrenhal, it caused an uproar throughout the Seven Kingdoms.
Some lords and nobles in the Seven Kingdoms who were watching expressed their loyalty to King Joffrey in King's Landing.
The nobles of the Riverlands and Wangling, who originally remained neutral, immediately decided to invest, while the nobles of the North and the Valley, who had already tasted the sweetness of victory, also decided to increase their positions.
The armies of various lords are gathering towards Harrenhal in an endless stream...
The nobles of the Riverlands risked their own money and pieced together an army of more than 5000 people. The nobles of the Valley reaped the benefits and added more than 6000 troops.
Jorah Mormont, the "Big Bear" of the Lonely Mountain Ridge, also came over in the White Harbor fleet with 5000 newly trained soldiers from the Lonely Mountain Ridge. Most of them were composed of refugees and wildlings, and were equipped with the foundry's most advanced weapons. Armor and weapons.
In addition to the more than 3000 Northern soldiers who were captured in the "Battle of the Green Fork" rescued at Harrenhal, as well as the remnants of the Northern troops brought by Lady Catelyn, Old Karstark and the Great Jon—— About 2000 elite cavalry...
At this time, the total number of coalition forces under Domeric's command swelled to 40000.
You know, this is just the number of regular troops!
If we include the civilian men who transported grain, the herdsmen who drove horses, and the camp prostitutes who came to comfort the soldiers... the total number may have exceeded [-].
If Domeric is thicker-skinned and less shameless, he can learn from Cao.
It is entirely possible to declare to the outside world that an army of 80 will march westward to conquer the Lannister.
See if you can scare Tywin into peeing.
…………
"Earl Redford, Lord Domeric has ordered a pre-war meeting. Please go and attend immediately."
"understood."
As a member of the King's Landing and Valley Alliance forces, Earl Redford quickly washed his face and walked towards the tallest tower in the center of Harrenhal - the "Kingburn Tower".
The further he walked toward the center of Harrenhal, the more he could see the pink SkinFlayer flag flying high above the other flags.
This is probably the largest flag that Earl Redford has ever seen in his life. It can be used as a carpet in an ordinary castle hall!
Along the way, you can see soldiers wearing armor, handymen transporting goods, attendants repairing armor, and beautiful camp prostitutes strutting through the streets...
Sometimes, Earl Redford couldn't help but wonder, how many golden dragons did it cost to maintain such an army every day?
It's a pity that no one can answer this question, Lord Redford.
Soon, Earl Redford walked into the spacious attic and was led by the guards to a small hall at the edge to sit down, only to find that there was no one inside.
Aren't we going to hold a pre-war meeting?
Why is there no one?
Did I go to the wrong place?
At this moment, Earl Redford suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
But soon, a person came out of the darkness.
Young Hand of the King - Domeric Bolton.
…………
"More? I remember you've always been a pretty good drinker."
Domeric took a look at Earl Redford. He was short in stature and had a neatly trimmed gray beard. He looked like a kind-hearted and good-natured man.
The Redford family of Red Base is a major noble family in the valley, with a long history and the blood of the ancestors.
Their coat of arms is a red castle on a white background with red edges.
Domeric's predecessor served as squire to Lord Redford at Red Base for three years.
Lord Redford spoke highly of Domeric and believed that this young man had the potential to become a tournament champion.
"Thank you very much. This is really the best red wine. Is it the wine from Qingting Island?"
