Game of Thrones: Attack on the North Wolf

Chapter 97
Moat Calim, in the Gate Tower.

After Clay returned to Winterfell, under Robb's arrangement, he was in charge of connecting with the intelligence agency established by Sam.

As soon as Robb announced the formal start of the discussion, he immediately stood up and loudly reported the general situation of the battle: "According to the information just received, the Lannister family launched an all-out attack seven days ago with three routes.

Kevan Lannister led an army of about 5000 people and defeated about [-] Riverland soldiers at the foot of the Golden Tooth City.

Afterwards, he followed the Hejian Avenue and led his troops all the way to the city of rushing, and now he has set up camp outside the city of rushing, besieging the Tully family.

Tywin Lannister, leading an army of nearly 2 people, set out from the Golden Road and pulled out the strongholds in the riverlands all the way.

When this information was sent out, he was attacking Hongfen City. With his strength, he should have successfully broken through the city.

And Gregor Clegane led about 1000 cavalry, killing, burning and looting everywhere in the riverland, whether it was a village or a small town, he razed them all to the ground. "

"Didn't I send a letter to my uncle a long time ago, asking him to summon the vassals in Riverrun, and wait for us to meet up before sending troops together?"

Hearing Clay's report, Robb tapped the long table rhythmically with his right index finger and asked with a frown.

"Yes, but it is obvious that Lord Edmure has his own ideas and has not adopted your opinion."

Clay nodded, and replied to Robb with some helplessness.

"map!"

Robb gave a soft command to Gendry beside him. As his attendant, Gendry immediately spread the map in his arms on the conference table, and put the wolf head and lion head symbols on the corresponding positions.

"My lords, what should we do next, does anyone have any opinions?"

Seeing that Gendry had finished laying out the map, Robb nodded to him in thanks, and then asked the earls of the Northern Territory on the long table.

"Your Majesty, we should march south at once to meet Kevan Lannister's army.

At that time, Lord Edmure will definitely attack from Riverrun, and we will be able to wipe them out by attacking back and forth. "

After the company of Ed over the past few days, Earl Rickard has recovered from the pain of losing his son.

Hearing Robb's question, he immediately stood up, pointed to the map on the table, and expressed his plan.

"Yes, I thought so too!"

"Lord Rickard is quite right,

After solving Kevan's army, the army of the Tully family can be joined together to deal with Tywin's army. "

"I agree."

As soon as Earl Rickard finished speaking, most of the northern earls nodded in agreement with him.

"So, how shall we get to Riverrun?"

Robb didn't agree or disagree, but just asked another question.

"The fastest way, of course, is to go from the Twins through the Green Fork, and then go straight down to Riverrun."

Hearing his question, Earl Mitch, who hadn't had time to express his opinion just now, immediately stood up gracefully, saluted Robb first, and then expressed his opinion.

A handsome middle-aged man with a goatee who was about the same height as Seven stood up and retorted: "Walder Frey can't let us pass through the Twin River City easily.

Our 2-strong army, if calculated based on his bridge toll, will be a fee that the entire northern border cannot afford. "

"Count Holland, what you said is wrong.

These were unusual times, with Riverrun under siege by Lannisters.

Lord Walder is a vassal of the Tully family. If we go to rescue his lord, he will certainly not charge us any more bridge tolls. "

Earl Mitch obviously didn't understand Walder Frey, and replied according to the inherent thinking of the northern border.

Howland Reed, the rare earl in the north, unexpectedly responded to Robb's call for unknown reasons this time.

He chuckled and replied: "You underestimate this 'late Lord Frey', he is far more greedy than you imagined.

Once, Sir Ed took us to participate in His Majesty Robert's uprising, and he asked him to collect bridge tolls.

The Frey family has always strictly maintained neutrality. Without huge interests, it is impossible for him to favor a certain force. "

"Then we take the King's Road, pass the intersection near the Three Forks River, and turn to the River Road?"

Seeing Earl Holland's words with such certainty, Earl Mitch hesitated a bit, and said another way.

"If you take this road, let's not talk about the time it takes to detour.

Just from the route Tywin Lannister took to attack the city, it can be seen that he went straight to the crossroads.

It is estimated that when we arrived, they had already lined up and waited for us. "

Earl Mitch's old opponent, Earl Harris, finally waited for the opportunity, and immediately stood up and retorted.

Seeing that his point of view was being refuted, Earl Mitch, who was often targeted by Earl Harris, rolled his eyes, and simply sat down without saying anything.

"We must go to the Twin River City. This is the best plan."

"But the bridge toll is not paid at all."

"Or, half the army goes to the Twins, and half goes to the King's Road."

After Earl Mitch sat down, many Earls of the Northern Territory discussed and discussed the solution.

"Why do you think so much? Let's just press down on the border directly. If the Frey family doesn't let us pass, we will directly destroy his Twin River City."

Hearing the noisy discussion, the fierce-looking Greatjon frowned, stood up abruptly, and terminated their argument with a single sentence like a sharp knife.

"Impossible, Mr. Ed also considered this issue at the beginning.

After careful investigation, Twin River City was easy to defend but hard to attack. The stone towers on both sides were full of archery holes and killing holes, and the bridges were blocked by thick and solid iron gates.

If he really wanted to take the Twin River City, he might have to find a way to break it from the inside. "

Hearing Greatjon's words, Earl Holland, who knew a lot about the Twins, shook his head and vetoed.

"With you, neither this nor that, Earl Holland, do you want to watch Riverrun fall?"

Greatjon raised his eyebrows and glared at Earl Holland, who had been vetoing.

"Cough, all right, my lords, please be quiet."

Seeing that the scene was full of gunpowder, Robb coughed, calmed down the scene and continued,
"Because Riverrun City is under siege, we must go south as soon as possible, so we have basically set our marching route just now, that is to pass through the Twin Rivers City and go straight to Riverrun City.

Earl Norrie, please set off immediately to the Twin Rivers, and discuss the bridge toll with the Frey family in my name.

Tomorrow our army will set out and head straight for the Twins.

This bridge, he family Frey allows, we have.It's not allowed, we have to get through it too! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Robb finished speaking, behind the long conference table, the taciturn Earl Norrie immediately stood up to salute and accept orders.

"Okay, after marching for seven days, everyone must be very tired, so let's do it for today!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When the earls saw that Robb had opened his mouth to make a plan, they saluted and took their leave.
