Chapter 220 Soldiers approaching the city (6400 chapters)

At night in Westeros without industrial pollution, you can see clearly even at night under the bright moonlight.Or it is as dark as ink, with endless darkness covering the earth.

The night in Highgarden tonight is the latter!
Ow!

A melodious wolf howl that seemed to be full of joy suddenly sounded in the High Court, which woke Margery who was dreaming sweetly. She dazedly stretched out her hand to the other side of the big bed, trying to hug Robb.

puff!
Margaret's jade hands rested on the empty velvet bed, and she gradually woke up. With the dim light of the four night lamps in the corner, she realized that Robb had disappeared on the bed.

Well, is it convenient for your majesty to go down?
Margaery sat up, and the velvet quilt slipped off her naked body. She looked around the bedroom and secretly guessed in her heart.

Anyway, she was awakened by the howling of wolves from somewhere, so Margaret simply put on her light green silk pajamas, got up and went to the wine cabinet in the house.

Since Robb didn't like having maids serving in the bedroom, Margaery, who was alone, could only pour herself a glass of golden wine from Arbor Island.

Margaery was thinking about something secretly while tasting the high-end wine.But after several consecutive glasses of wine, Robb never came back.

Margaery suddenly put down the wine glass in her hand, got up and walked to the door of the bedroom, ready to go out to check the situation.

Squeak!

Ah!
As soon as Margaery opened the door of the bedroom, she saw a figure standing in the dark corridor. The man was staring at her with a pair of green eyes.She couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Margaery, where are you going?"

Following the familiar voice, the figure with green eyes stepped forward.Under the reflection of the light in the room, it was Robb who had never returned.

"Huh, Your Majesty, you scared me to death! I saw that you haven't returned to the bedroom, so I'm going to come out and have a look."

Seeing that the figure turned out to be Robb, Margaery immediately stopped her exclamation, and then replied after taking a deep breath while still in shock.

While answering the question, Margaery carefully observed Robb's eyes.But he didn't see any green eyes, he still had those bright yellow eyes.

Margaret shook her head immediately, thinking that maybe she hadn't woken up yet, and her eyes were just blurry.

"Maybe I slept in that ice sculpture for too long. I couldn't sleep at night. I just went out to exercise!"

Upon hearing this, Robb replied to Margery with a bright smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, you...seem happy?"

Seeing Robb's smiling face, Margaery couldn't help asking curiously.

"Happy? Maybe it's because I thought of a new way to play!"

Hearing this, Robb smiled and turned his head back to Margaery, then directly bowed and hugged her with a princess hug.

"Hey, Your Majesty, you're going to lead troops tomorrow, don't do it today, uh, uh..."

Bang!
The bedroom door then closed.

In the early morning of the next day, there were crowds of people outside the north city wall of Gaoting, which seemed a bit lively.

A few days ago, Vilas had brought [-] Tyrell family cavalry and [-] captive soldiers, with a large amount of food and supplies, and nearly [-] refugees from the refugee gathering place in Gaoting, and moved towards Jinshu City.

And now, the remaining 10,000+ refugees stood in front of their tents and watched the excitement.

Not far away, [-] recruits in old armor were heading northward on Rose Avenue in a panic.

The new recruits that the Duke of Metz had just recruited were not only in a terrible procession, but they also greeted the familiar people in the refugee gathering place loudly.

Fortunately, there is a group of low-level officers who specialize in riding horses to maintain the order of the recruits, otherwise these recruits may not be able to leave the High Court area for a whole day.

After the recruits, there were [-] river bay noble infantry with relatively average equipment, and [-] Tyrell family cavalry with very good equipment.The Duke of Metz, Garland, and Loras walked in front of the cavalry.

As a face project that the Tyrell family is proud of, these cavalry formations are neat and beautiful, and under the sunlight, the brand-new weapons and equipment are very eye-catching.

Immediately behind them were nearly [-] Martell family soldiers and [-] Tully family soldiers dressed in exotic styles.

Oberyn, with a languid posture, and Lord Randyll, with a serious expression, rode together.

The reason Lord Randyll did not march with the Tyrells seems to be because of some unpleasant friction between Robb and Lord Mace while Robb slept in the giant ice sculpture.

As for the last line of the team, it was the finale of the 5000-strong northern army.

Robb stood proudly on top of Bloodwind's head, and the half-white hairs of the man and the wolf set off each other.Weir and other wolf guards rode blood-kin direwolves around him.

The [-] troops from the northern border were also very neatly lined up, and they walked forward very silently.There was a chilling atmosphere in the entire army.

On the wide surface of the Mande River on the west side of Gaoting, countless small and medium-sized longboats and paddle warships are heading west.This is a combined fleet of Ironborn and Redwyne soldiers.

The large warships of these two fleets are already waiting at the outlet where the Mander River merges into the Sunset Sea. As soon as they converge, they will point directly to the Blackwater Bay outside the city of King's Landing.

……

The Riverlands, Harrenhal, Hundred Hearth Hall.

The left elbow of Brynden's broken arm has not been bandaged for a long time, and it can be clearly seen that there is a thick blood scar on his broken arm.

Sometimes Brynden's movements were too hard, and some fluid that looked like blood and pus would ooze from his wound.

At this time, the pale Brynden was sticking to Earl Tytos, and Little Jon was discussing the battle situation together.

"We have been besieged by the enemy for 25 days. I don't know if Riverrun has stood firm according to my arrangement. Moreover, the letter sent to Highgarden for help has never been answered."

Looking at the map on the table, Brynden frowned, worrying about the safety of Riverrun and the rescue situation of Highgarden.

"Lord Brynden, please rest assured that the enemy's main army is besieged outside Harrenhal. As long as they don't leave, Riverrun will definitely not be in any danger. However, the villages and towns in the riverlands will indeed suffer another catastrophe." up!
As for Highgarden, the enemy should have blocked Harrenhal.Even if His Majesty Robb sent troops to rescue, it would take at least a month or two to go from Highgarden to the west and then from the River Road to Harrenhal.

After all, our cavalry units are all besieged here, and the infantry units march more slowly. "

Earl Tytos heard the words, and immediately spoke to comfort Brynden, who was already hurt and worried.

"Earl Tytos is right, Lord Brynden, don't be so worried. We can hold Harrenhal for at least a year or two. When His Majesty's army arrives, these enemies will surely be easily defeated!"

Seeing this, Little Jon immediately echoed Earl Tytos' words.

"Don't be so optimistic. If we relax a little bit, something may happen. I have told you before how I lost this hand.

The other party also has guys who can use magic like His Majesty, and he hasn't made any shots during this time. Who knows if they are planning something. "

Brynden, who is careful and cautious, is similar to Clay, both of whom are used to preparing for the worst in their hearts.

"You're right, I..."

Da da da!
Just as Little Jon nodded and answered Brynden, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the Hundred Hearth Hall.I saw Ed, who was in charge of the defense of the city wall today, walking quickly with a solemn expression.

"Lord Brynden, many enemies are gathering from all over the riverlands. The enemy should be going to attack Harrenhal!"

As soon as Ed came in, he immediately reported to Brynden loudly what he saw.

"Come on, let's go to the city wall to have a look!"

Brynden's worried face flashed away when he heard the words, and after he said something in a deep voice, he took the lead and walked out of the Hundred Hearth Hall.

After a short while, Brynden and the others came to the towering city wall of Harrenhal.Brynden immediately moved closer to the wall and looked down.

I saw that the camp of the No Banners Uprising Army has expanded significantly compared to before, and there are groups of people gathering towards their camp in the distance.

"It seems that the enemy is indeed preparing to attack us. Now we still have [-] infantry, [-] light cavalry, and [-] heavy cavalry in the castle.

Relying on Harrenhal's defensive capabilities, I'm not afraid even if they return to their previous strength of 30 to [-] troops.But, the guy who can use fire magic..."

Looking at the enemy situation under the city wall, Brynden whispered his judgment.Then he paused slightly, and continued in a firm tone,
"Well, I want to organize a team of dead soldiers. If that guy really wants to use magic to bombard the city gate, I will lead the team of dead soldiers to open the door and rush out to kill him!"

"Master Brynden, let me lead the team of dead soldiers!"

As soon as Brynden finished speaking, the three Earls of Tytos spoke to him in unison.

"Needless to say, I've already made my decision! Hey, you guys just let me, a cripple, fight one last time!"

Brynden shook his head when he heard the words, and while dancing his severed arm in front of the three of them, he said with a relaxed expression.

Seeing Brynden's determined expression, the other three looked at each other and fell silent.

"Okay, don't look depressed. Let's go back and have a drink! They will definitely not attack today."

Brynden greeted the three Earl Tytos very openly, turned around and walked down the city wall.

The Rebels without Banners did, as Brynden expected, not launch an attack on Harrenhal that day.

But what Brynden didn't expect was that they didn't have the slightest intention of attacking Harrenhal not just on the first day, but for three consecutive days.

With the continuous influx of troops, the camp of the No Banner Uprising Army has expanded by about three times compared to the initial one.

In other words, at first they only left 2 people to surround Harrenhal, but now they have reached a scale of more than 6.

What was even more unexpected to Brynden and others was that on the fifth day, the [-] troops of the No Banners Rebel Army actually began to leave Harrenhal.

"Well, this should be a trap set by them, right?
First pretend to leave Harrenhal, but actually lie in ambush around.And then take Harrenhal in one fell swoop when we relax and get out of the city? "

Seeing the No Banner Rebel Army marching south along the King's Road, Ed speculated with uncertainty on his face.

"Well, I agree with Ed!"

Little Jon, who prefers hands to brains, immediately nodded in agreement.

"If it's not a trap, then they go south... Could it be that the target is King's Landing City?"

Earl Tytos did not directly agree with Ed's speculation, but was thinking about more possibilities.

After listening to the discussion between the three of them, Brynden spoke up to express his judgment:

"Whether they set up a trap or actually go to King's Landing, it doesn't matter to us.

We just need to keep Harrenhal well! "

……

The Reach, Wine Hall.

"Hahaha, I am the first to win this battle!"

A soldier of the Oakheart family from the ancient oak city stood on the wall of the fruit wine hall, constantly waving the direwolf flag in his hand, laughing wildly with excitement.

After the city was broken, tens of thousands of soldiers began to loot in the fruit wine hall, while the northern soldiers served as a temporary law enforcement team.

In the reception hall of the inner castle of the Wine Hall, their former rulers, the Fossoways, knelt before Robb.

"Your Majesty, I beg for your mercy, we are willing to serve you!"

With his father and brother dead in battle, the newly succeeded Lord Tanton Fossoway is paying his allegiance to Robb, distraught.

"As long as you answer my questions truthfully. I can be kind to you."

Looking at Earl Tanton, Robb replied in a gentle tone, and immediately asked him,
"Why do you only have a few hundred people guarding the city? What about the Lannister family?"

"Your Majesty, the Lannisters are guys who don't keep their promises. They promised us that nothing would happen to us. As a result, some time ago they asked us to give up the fruit wine hall and move the whole family to King's Landing City.

how can that be?The wine hall is the castle that our grandparents have lived in for generations.How could we give it up! "

Hearing Robb's question, Earl Tanton immediately answered with an indignant expression.

"In other words, the Lannister army has all withdrawn to King's Landing? Are you just abandoned pawns?"

Upon hearing this, Robb spoke thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, I have answered your question. Can you forgive us?"

"Well, you have been forgiven by me!"

"Thank you, thank you Your Majesty!"

Looking at Earl Tanton who kept nodding his thanks to him, Robb turned his head and said to Duke Metz beside him:

"Master Mace, I have spared them. Now they are yours!"

"Thank you Your Majesty, I will 'forgive' them well!"

Hearing that Robb had forgiven Earl Tanton, Duke Metz couldn't help but twitch.But when he heard what Robb said later, he immediately thanked him with a smile on his face.

Although the Duke of Metz did not have outstanding abilities, he was indeed a qualified nobleman.For the vassals who dared to betray the lord, he would only fight back in the most cruel way.

"No, no, Your Majesty! Lord Mace! Mercy, mercy..."

Earl Tanton, who understood the meaning of Robb's words, immediately changed his face and begged bitterly.

Robb ignored Earl Tanton, but walked out of the reception hall with Clay, Weir and other wolf guards.

"Clay, persuade the soldiers of the Fossoway family to surrender. Those who are willing to surrender will be added to the Duke of Mace's recruits, and those who are unwilling will be sent to me."

Robb, who currently lacks blood pact points, turned his head to Clay immediately after he came out.

After Clay nodded and accepted the order, he immediately went to do things for Robb.These things are already familiar to him.

Bloodwind's magic attribute cannot continue to increase after reaching 100 points, and Robb doesn't know why for the time being.However, its physical attribute is still a little short to reach 100 points.

Although Robb has full confidence in this attack on King's Landing City, he doesn't mind adding more cards.

In the end, the Fossoway family could not bear the 'forgiveness' of the Duke of Metz, and the fruit wine hall was bestowed by the Duke of Metz to the family of his son Garland's wife, the Fossoway family of New Barrel City.

Let this branch family, which has always been loyal to the Tyrell family, obtain the coveted castle of the direct family.

In the next ten days or so, Long Table Hall, Green Valley City, and Bitter Bridge were successfully captured by Robb's army one after another.In these few battles, not to mention the finale of the northern army, even the troops of the Martell family and the Tully family did not use it.

Bitterbridge, where Renly I once stationed his army to put pressure on King's Landing.Now, Robb's [-] troops are also stationed here, looking at the city of King's Landing.

"Your Majesty, our journey has been too smooth, and I am worried that there may be some conspiracy of Tywin."

A post-war meeting was being held in Robb's king's tent, and the cautious Clay immediately expressed his thoughts.

"Haha, Lord Clay is too cautious. The traitors in these castles have all made a unified move, and the Lannister army has already returned to King's Landing.

Now Tywin's reaction is just as we expected when we made the tactical plan. It seems that the Redwyne fleet and the Iron Fleet should have brought enough pressure in Blackwater Bay.

Moreover, even if the [-] Lannister army has any conspiracy, with the strength of our [-] army that has won consecutive battles, we can completely crush them with absolute superiority in strength!

Therefore, I suggest rushing to King's Landing City as soon as possible to take the Iron Throne directly! "

Hearing Clay's words, the Duke of Mace, who was still smiling, stood up immediately to refute.

In recent battles, the Duke of Metz's vanguard has won consecutive battles, and the Reach has returned to his hands. He can be said to be full of ambition and high-spirited.

"No, Master Clay is right, the behavior of the Lannister army is too abnormal. Because the current situation is actually different from the original one!"

I don't know if it was aimed at the Duke of Metz. After he finished speaking, Earl Landau immediately made an excuse.

"The situation is different? Two fleets attacked Blackwater Bay in the narrow sea, and we captured the Betrayer's Castle from land, and then attacked King's Landing City.

Come, Lord Randyll, tell me the difference! "

Duke Mace felt that Earl Randall was deliberately finding fault, the smile on his face stagnated, and he replied angrily.

"The time is different!"

Earl Randall heard the words, and spoke out heavily what he thought was different.

After finishing speaking, Earl Landau looked around and found that most of the nobles in the king's tent were staring at him, waiting for him to continue talking.So he went on to say:
"When the tactical plan was first formulated, Tywin's troops were insufficient, and even if he barely recruited recruits, he could only make up the number.

Therefore, he was faced with the difficult choice of having to give up the defense line of the river bend.

But after that, the refugee gray blight broke out, and His Majesty slept in a giant ice sculpture.It's been over a month so far.

When we proceeded according to the previous tactical plan, Tywin's reaction was still the same as before.Doesn't that mean that he didn't do anything during this month, and just waited quietly in King's Landing City to die?

Everyone, do you think Tywin is such a person? "

After Earl Randall finished speaking in one breath, everyone in the king's tent fell silent.

The nobles of Westeros have mixed opinions on Tai Wen, but everyone knows that he will definitely not be a person who is willing to wait for death.

Seeing that all the nobles were awakened by him, Earl Randall nodded and made his final conclusion: "So, the current King's Landing City is definitely a trap designed by Tywin!"

"Earl Randyll, the traps in King's Landing are just your guesses. I don't believe that Tywin will be able to conjure up a way to counter an army of [-] in a month!

how?You have come to this point, and you are so afraid to return to High Court just because there may be a trap in King's Landing City?
Hmph, they're all a bunch of eggless guys! "

Among the nobles in the king's tent, Oberyn was definitely the one who most wanted to break into King's Landing and wipe out the Lannister family.Therefore, seeing that everyone fell into silence, he couldn't help but sneered.

"Prince Oberyn, don't worry! I agree with Earl Randyll, there must be Tywin's trap in King's Landing!"

Seeing that Oberyn's mocking words made most of the nobles in the king's tent sullen, Robb expressed his opinion in a timely manner.

"However, I also agree with Lord Mace's words. Go directly to King's Landing City and take the Iron Throne!
Because... in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is useless! "

Whoa!
Hearing Robb's domineering words that he had never heard before, all the nobles in the king's tent immediately talked about Robb's domineering, kingly demeanor and other flattering words.

"That's all for today's meeting, and we will head to King's Landing City tomorrow!"

As Robb stated his final decision, the nobles in the king's tent discussed leaving the king's tent in groups of three and four.

The brothers Garland and Loras left the king's tent together, but Garland kept talking alone, while Loras listened quietly.

"Hey, His Majesty Robb's words just now are too domineering. Why can't I think of such words!

By the way, Loras, during this time, have you heard the howling of wolves every night? "

"Ok!"

Hearing his brother's inquiry, Loras just answered lightly.

"Don't answer so perfunctorily! Hey, actually, I feel that the wolf's howling contains a lot of emotions, just like a human being yelling!
By the way, His Majesty's giant ice wolf has grown a lot taller than when he set off from High Court.I heard that it was because Clay brought a lot of captured soldiers to feed it..."

"stop!"

Hearing the words behind Garland, Loras stopped immediately, then quickly looked around, and continued to whisper,

"Garland, I advise you to keep your mouth shut. There are some things we can't talk about!"

"Well, I see!"

Early the next morning, the army with high morale approached King's Landing City along the Rose Avenue.

When entering the dense and vast royal forest, Robb spilled Will and other wolf guards in advance.

Although he thinks that his side has absolute strength, he will never be careless where he should be cautious.

Sure enough, the wolf guards found something in the imperial forest from time to time.There are weird-looking people like the northern mountain clans, there are also Lannister spies, and there are even bandits hiding in the royal forest.

However, with the keen sense of smell and vision of the blood relative direwolves, they did not pose any threat at all.Robb's army marched smoothly under the detection of the wolf guards.

It took nearly two days for Robb's army to leave this unusually wide and dense forest.

After leaving the Royal Forest Exit, the subsequent road is easier to march than before, because from here, the Rose Avenue and the section of the King's Road leading to Storm's End began to overlap, and the road was unusually flat and open.

Anyone who is familiar with this section of the road knows that at walking speed, it is only half a day away from Junlin City.

In fact, Robb's army can be regarded as approaching the city now!

But half an hour after Robb's army left the exit of the Royal Forest, an army of tens of thousands rushed over from the direction of Storm's End.Not only were they pushing all kinds of defensive equipment, but there were also a large number of transport carriages in the military ranks.
