Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 85 Situation

At the intersection of the Blackwater River flowing from northwest to southeast and the Golden Avenue running from east to west, a hotel is operating at full capacity to receive guests.

Here, Arthur gets the news he wants, but is also confused by more rumors.

Combining his knowledge of the plot of Game of Thrones and the rumors of mercenaries flocking to the west in the shop, he came up with the general trend of the Hejian land and Tywin's army.

After the Lannisters received the news that the little devil had been kidnapped, James was eager to protect his brother in King's Landing. They first confronted the prime minister, Duke Ed, during the period. .

Duke Tywin directly summoned the army, and then the troops were divided into two groups.

One line consists of Lannister family soldiers and a small number of elite vassal family soldiers, about 2 people, under the direct control of Tywin, starting from Casterly Rock City, going eastward through the Golden Road, and then going north from the vicinity of Deep Cavern City, at Horn Valley City Garrison nearby.

Horn Valley City is the home castle of the Brax family in the western region, located between the mountains of the Golden Tooth Mountains, near the source of the Red Fork River.

If there is a change, Tywin can enter the East River region, the hinterland of the Riverlands, from the narrow valley between the south bank of the Red Fork River and the Golden Tooth Mountains, and then attack eastward to capture Harrenhal.

The other road is composed of soldiers from various vassal families in the western region, sworn knights, property knights, mercenaries, etc., about 5000 people, led by James, starting from Casterly Rock City, along the riverside road, passing through Sarsfield City And so on to the Golden Tooth City.

Madam Stark made the move first, but it was the West Territory who took the lead militarily.

And Hejian Land's coping was a bit out of order.

Edmure first sent [-] soldiers from two earldoms, the Piper family of the Pink City and the Vance family of the Rest City, to advance near the Golden Tooth City in an attempt to block the river road and prevent the troops from the western region from entering their homes. territory.

This made the river land between Jiaogu City and Pink City not heavily guarded, which was equivalent to opening the door to Taiwin's main force from the west.

Then the young and inexperienced Edmure summoned most of the vassal family soldiers and all the troops of his own Tully in Riverrun.

More than 500 members of the Blackwood family in Raventree City, more than 1000 members of the Bracken family in Stonewall City, more than 1000 members of the Mallister family in Sea Front City, and more than [-] members of the Vance family in Arran City , More than [-] members of the Leger family in Willow City...

Earls and above nobles in the entire river land, except for the Frey family of Twin River City who continued to sit on the fence, Mooton of Maidenspring City in the east did not arrive due to the long journey, and the He'an family really had no troops. It's all here.

As for the viscounts, baronies, property knights, etc., there were countless of them, and they all gathered near Riverrun according to Edmure's order.

Right now, between [-] and [-] troops have gathered near Riverrun City, the gateway to the west of the Riverlands, leaving the east of the Red Fork River basically empty.

So Lord Tywin took advantage of the opportunity and sent a small army of more than a hundred people led by Magic Mountain to harass and plunder the Hedong area, so that these nobles rushed back to their territory in a hurry, thus dispersing the forces of Riverrun.

This made the farmers in the entire river land panic and didn't know what to do.

In King's Landing, Robert went hunting in the Royal Forest. If there were no accidents, he would be seriously injured by the charge of the wild boar according to the procedure, and then died.

Duke Ed was powerless. He only brought 50 people to King's Landing, and he couldn't control the dispute between the Riverlands and the West.

As for the remaining valleys and river bends, there was not much movement, and the nobles were preparing to watch a play.

After receiving a silver deer reward from Arthur, the little boy in the inn said:

"I dare say that the Magic Mountain has reached the vicinity of God's Eye Lake."

God's Eye Lake is the largest lake in Westeros, and it covers an area far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

According to Arthur's experience, only the legendary Yunmengze in Asia and Wudalian Lake in North America can be compared with it.

Whether the Magic Mountain is on the east side or the west side of God's Eye Lake is a big problem. If you go wrong, a week or so will be wasted.

So Arthur yelled at the diners in the store: "One silver deer, one news, who else knows the exact news of the Magic Mountain?"

Under the charm of money, many people who were not good at words immediately became talkative.

"My lord, I am from the Raig family in Willow City. The Magic Mountain appeared on our territory five days ago and burned four or five villages. Hundreds of people, men, women, children, and the elderly were all killed by them. dead, the copper plate was scraped to pieces.”

"I'm from Alan City. The Magic Mountain ransacked my village two days ago. My relatives and friends didn't escape. Presumably..."

Before the man finished speaking, he began to cry.

Some people from other places yelled angrily after hearing this: "What are the nobles in the river land doing? They only have the responsibility of protecting the citizens, don't they want to fulfill it?"

"Master Bracken, I am from Pink City, and the Magic Mountain was there nine days ago."

"The devil's mountain, the dispute between the Lannister family and the Starks, how did it harm us civilians?"

Everyone began to tell stories one after another, and many of them were still victims.

From their words, Arthur gradually described the trajectory of the Mountain's activities.

He set off from Tywin's army in Horn Valley City, entered the Riverland along the valley of the Red Fork River, and after killing through the territory of Pink City to the north, he went south and wreaked havoc on the two earldoms of Willow City and Alan City.

Then the Magic Mountain bypassed the south side of God's Eye Lake and went to the east side of God's Eye Lake.

After tossing a dozen silver stags to the group of people, Arthur nodded and said:
"Very good, your information is very useful. I am going to hunt down the Devil's Mountain. You can also help me spread the word, saying that Arthur Bracken, the lord of the Moulin Rouge, will protect all civilians who come to his territory."

Then, he led people out of the hotel, and then called all the important people in the caravan.

"Dickon, you help lead the convoy straight north to my territory, Moulin Rouge, and my servant Meydan will lead the way. The 160 people recruited in the Reach are under your jurisdiction. When you arrive, train the recruits at full speed."

"Angai, you also follow Dickon to the north, and take your thirteen spearmen. After arriving in my territory, you are responsible for training the archers, and the spearmen are responsible for training the newly recruited militiamen to practice spears."

"Wage, you pick thirty or forty elite members of the blood troupe. Let's go to the east of Shenyan Lake to do something. The rest of the blood troupe members form a small team of three or four people and go to the north of the Blackwater River and beyond the Red Fork River. All the Riverland countryside to the south, and show them Arthur of the Moulin Rouge will protect them, and let the farmers go north as soon as possible."

Since most members of the blood troupe have horses, Arthur sends them to carry out the task of promoting himself.

When the time comes to gather the 10,000+ refugees in the Hedong area, Arthur's strength will expand a lot.

You know, in 192 AD, Cao Cao won the ownerless Yanzhou, accepted the surrender of 30 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and millions of refugees, and then stood out from many warlords and became the hegemony of the Central Plains.

"The war is about to break out, and everyone has to follow my orders exactly. Now, let's all start."

Varger and Dickon had no objections, one was paid for his work, and the other was immersed in the novelty of running away from home.

Angai and the thirteen Dornish spearmen had some changes.

They all walked up to Arthur and knelt down on one knee.

"My lord, the Devil's Mountain killed our Dorne princess Elia Martell and her children. This is a disgrace to all of us Dornish people. We pray that we will go with you to attack and kill the Devil's Mountain. For those who died tragically." The princess and her child have revenge."

In the late period of the Usurper War 15 years ago, Tai Wen led the army to capture the city of King's Landing. In order to give Robert a name for the rebel army, he asked the Magic Mountain to kill Prince Rhaegar's wife and Princess Ely of Dorne. ya.

Arthur hadn't thought of this.

After pondering for a moment, he made a decision:
"Then you 14 people will follow me. The Magic Mountain has committed an unforgivable sin. I will definitely give Ilia and her children, as well as hundreds of thousands of farmers in the riverland a justice."

"People are doing it, and the gods in the sky are watching, and I will deliver the retribution of his magic mountain to him."

No more problems, Dickon led the team northward, the rest of the blood troupe went to recruit refugees for Arthur, and the backbone and the Dornishmen followed Arthur to the east.

After four days of chasing along the burned village and the information of the fleeing refugees, Arthur and the others finally caught up with the Mountain and his men.
