Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 23 The Vale of Erin

Catelyn was on horseback, and Lannister's squire had just died of a high fever from festering wounds.They dared not stay, but the kid named Cole went and buried him anyway.

He has contributed the most to this journey. Half of the enemies were killed by him, so no one stopped this time. Caitlin never believed the stories in those knight biographies before, but after seeing this child, she believed it .

Only the old coach of Winterfell, Sir Rodrik Cassel, Sir Willy Ward, and the bard Marillion are alive now. These people are clearly on her side. As for the mercenaries Bronn had clearly fallen for the imp.

The child buried the servant named Morris. His face was extremely gloomy, and his whole body was like a silent volcano.

"He has killed too many people to bear," Ser Rodrik, the old warrior, said to Catelyn.

Caitlin frowned, "How could this be?"

She began to regret that Lannister should not have been brought to the Vale of Arryn so rashly. Six people had already died because of this. She was not hard-hearted, and she just wanted to seek justice for her son.

"There seems to be something wrong with your little brother." Bronn reminded Tyrion in a low voice.

He naturally knew that Cole's face was terribly gloomy all the way, and no one should speak. "I'm not blind, so I can see it naturally. What's going on?"

Bolong was originally a courageous person with high skills, but he also had to admit that this child was so violent that he was like a "warrior" among the seven gods descending to earth.

"This kind of situation often happens on the battlefield. You'd better pray to the gods that he won't explode in the next battle, or we will all suffer." He said lightly, as if he didn't care.

"You mean, he's suppressing?"

Bronn nodded.

"Then what?" Tyrion asked.

Bronn thought for a moment, then cracked a gray smile, "Give him a woman."

"Now is not the time to joke, mercenary." Tyrion's face darkened.

"This isn't a joke, Lannister. Otherwise you'd think why those guys after the war went to prostitutes."

Both of them looked at the only woman present.

"Let's go" Cole got on his horse.

"Dude, you should learn to relax." The mercenary forced out a self-conscious smile.

"Ah."

These words seemed to have no effect. Not long after, the vibration of horseshoes came. Cole seemed to be stimulated by the sound. At this moment, a hand clapped on his shoulder, "Calm down, kid. It's just killing a few people." That's all. Knights are born to fight, get ready, you have to fight."

When Cole looked up, it was the old knight Rodrik. He looked tired and pale. He was always inseparable from Mrs. Stark's protection. When he turned around, he saw Caitlin smiling at him.

what happened to him?he asked himself in his heart.Killing disgusted him, but they were all enemies. If he didn't kill them, he would die. He was just protecting himself.

But the wailing and begging for mercy lingered in his ears all the time like a nightmare. The first time he killed someone, he only felt it was very common, as if he was used to seeing life and death on the Great Wall. There were more and more people coming, and more and more frequently, he felt something strange.

"Who are you?" A team of cavalry in full armor raised a flag with a white crescent moon and falcon on a blue background.

"It seems we are saved, the cavalrymen of House Arryn," said Tyrion.

"I'm Caitlin Stark of Winterfell." Caitlin quickly identified herself.

The leading knight was stunned. He thought it was a team of alpine people, but when he took a closer look, it was a beautiful Andal face, somewhat similar to Lady Lysa Tully, the mistress of the Vale of Arryn.

The mountain clans and tribes are all descendants of the ancestors, and there are few such beautiful women, and she herself said that she is a "Stark". How could people from the north come here?
If Tyrion knew what he was thinking, he would correct him, 'The people of the North are also descended from the First Men. '

"Ma'am, why are you here?" the knight asked doubtfully.

"I ask to see your duke's wife, Lysa Tully, and I am her sister."

After hearing this, the knight quickly saluted and apologized, "Madam, what an offense, I didn't know about your arrival beforehand."

"No, it's not your fault, sir. I just came to see my sister on a sudden and urgent matter. I'm sorry, but may I be rude to ask about your family title?"

"I'm 'Donal Waywood' from the Waywood family, please allow me to escort you to the end of your journey, ma'am."

"I know Countess Anya Waywood. I don't know how she is doing."

"My mother is fine."

Caitlin showed a polite smile, solemn but friendly, like a spring breeze, but it felt untouchable.

Donnel is a Knight of the Blood Gate who is loyal to the Arryn family. He speaks very gracefully and uses his words very well.

Tyrion whispered to Cole, "This family has always been known for its etiquette."

They were guarded by the cavalry in the center, and walked slowly towards the mountain pass. The old knight could barely ride a horse. They were walking towards the fortress, and Cole reached out to help Roderick.

He no longer propped himself up, and thanked him softly.

Mrs. Caitlin seemed to be very worried about his situation, and hurriedly asked the Knights of the Blood Gate if there were any bachelors in the Donnel Fortress.

Donnel shook his head and told her that all the maesters had been summoned to the Eyrie by her sister Lysa.

The fortress was built on a gorge, with watchtowers clinging to the rock walls on both sides. Cole was shocked by the impenetrable fortifications in front of him. No wonder it took a dragon to conquer the Vale of Arryn. The open fortress is guarding, and I really don't know how to attack it.

Of course, the Vale of Arryn did not belong to the Targaryen family by means of war, but in a peaceful way.But the dragon played a big role in it.

But after entering the fortress, Cole realized that he still underestimated the bastards in the Vale of Arryn. He could only lament that he was still too young.

They were greeted by another Knight of the Blood Gate, who was also Caitlin's uncle, "Brynden Tully" known as Blackfish.He is a knight that even kingslayers admire.

His nickname is also very interesting. I heard that his elder brother Horst Tully called him the "black sheep" of the Tully family because of some things, but he himself retorted that he was a "black fish".The black fish badge made of gold and obsidian on his shoulder is his characteristic, which is just the opposite color of the Tully family's silver sturgeon badge.

Passing through the Bloodgate Fortress, they entered the Vale of Arryn, and the sight suddenly opened up. Farmhouses, fields, fields, blue sky, and towering mountains all glowed in the morning light, like a peach blossom garden isolated from the world, and it was quiet here Beautiful, sheltered by mountains, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the highest mountain range shoots up to a long spear, which is the mountain called "Giant's Gun".

The Eagle's Nest City is on the Giant's Lance, and the mountains are layer by layer. The people of the Aylin family built fortresses and checkpoints. Cole thought to himself: "It really is a group of bastards."

"It's right there, on the side of Alyssa's tears." Sir Blackfish pointed to the castle and said to Caitlin.

Alyssa's Tears is a river flowing down from the Giant's Lance Mountain. Cole remembers that there seems to be a story, but he no longer remembers it.

PS: The original work is very detailed here, I can only briefly describe it from Cole's perspective, otherwise it would be too watery.The original work is very exciting, but please treat this as a parallel world. After all, the original work is not finished, so I will apply some film and television settings.
