Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 74 Betrayal
"Father, you just came back like this?" Garlan Tyrell, who was stationed at Bitterbridge, asked his father, the Duke of Mace.

Ser Garlan Tyrell, the second child of the Rose family.He was in charge of guarding Bitterbridge while his father Mace was transporting provisions. (Episode was cut.)
But last night, the Duke of Metz led a group of cavalry back to Bitter Bridge in a desperate manner, and at the same time brought a very bad news, all their luggage was burned.

Garland sighed silently, complaining in his heart about his father's indisputability.

Mace looked at his second child wearing armor, he couldn't help but wonder, "What are you wearing armor for?"

"I'll take people to see, it's better to get some things back, otherwise how can we explain to the king and the younger brother, father. They have already sent several ravens, just waiting for our supplies to start the siege battle Woolen cloth."

Ser Garland had finished his armor with the help of his squire, and his sigil was two golden roses on a green field, to show that he was the second son.He has the same handsome features as the Knight of Flowers, but taller and stronger, and he has a beard between the corners of his lips, which makes him look more mature.

Leading only a hundred cavalry, Garland headed north from Rose Avenue. From time to time, he could see people in ragged clothes and blackened bodies, supporting each other.

The more he walked, the more frightened he was. Whose handwriting was this? When he approached the imperial forest, the flames had already diminished, and both sides of the avenue had turned into scorched earth. Obviously, the person who set the fire was also particular about it.

Garland's frown deepened.

The person who set the fire was leading a group of cavalry along the Lanburn River to the direction of Green Valley City at this time, and the cavalry marched silently.

Under the city of Green Valley, a large group of people had already gathered.

As they approached, the cavalry swung into a momentary stance to meet the enemy, and Sir Geoffrey emerged from the cohort with a look of anger and weariness on his face.

After seeing Cole, he instantly seemed to have found the backbone, but he was a little worried in his heart.

"Master Julius, you are back." Jeffrey hurried forward.

Cole's face was also visible to the naked eye, and he smiled, "Well, what are you guys doing together in the city? Why don't you camp and enter the city."

Anger burst into Jeffrey's eyes, "My lord, when we got close to the city wall, Baron Mei Dou had already sealed the city gate, and at the same time sent archers to shoot arrows on the city wall."

Cole nodded indifferently, "Let the brothers put on the horse."

"My lord, they took all our horses into the city."

Unexpectedly, the betrayal would come so quickly. Sure enough, there is only one traitor and countless times.

He led the people to the castle.

"Sir Julius, have you lost the battle?" The figure of Baron Mei Dou appeared on the city wall. The city wall of Green Valley City was more than ten meters high, and the shouts could be heard up and down. "Lord Stannis, for giving you such trust, is this how you repay him?"

He doesn't even call the king anymore.

Looking at this group of disheveled knights, all of them seemed to be in low spirits, obviously they had lost the battle, and they could see a lot of casualties in this army at a glance on the city wall.

Jeffrey stepped forward, but was stopped by Cole, who shook his head.

"Sir Meadow, are you planning to break your oath to His Majesty Stannis?" Cole asked against the city wall.

"You can't represent the king, my lord." His tone was a little arrogant, "I just don't think you are worthy to lead us. In my territory and castle, why do you dictate to me? The status of the knights present is no better than yours. noble."

What he said behind was obviously thinking that someone would respond to him, but the pairs of eyes just watched without any response.It shouldn't be, there are obviously many people who are dissatisfied with him, and Elwood Meidou has already asked many people secretly.

"Sir Geoffrey Florent, we have an agreement." The 20-year-old Baron Meidou seemed to want to drag Geoffrey into the water.

I saw Jeffrey said angrily, "Ewood Meadow, I will not be with a traitor. I did misunderstand Lord Julius at the beginning, but I am loyal to His Majesty the King. Whoever the King ordered me to obey, Whom I serve."

"Sir Meidou, if you don't return our horses and supplies, then I can only tell Your Majesty that you have taken refuge with Renly." Cole shouted.

"I believe that Lord Stannis will know right from wrong, Cole Julius, you still think about how to explain your failure to him."

Cole shook his head, and Geoffrey could see the smile on his cheek.

"Unexpectedly, Baron Mei Dou doesn't welcome us, so we can only leave."

Looking at the retreating cavalry, Mei Dou thought disdainfully, without the castle, let's see where you go, now the entire southern border is full of Renly's people, no one would dare to take in Stannis' generals.

Yes, no one dared to take in this cavalryman, but he was taken in by Ewood Meadow, and he was known by the people of Highgarden.A few days later, a Gaoting army surrounded Green Valley City and caught Baron Meidou by surprise.

The angry people of Gaoting came fiercely, they hated this traitor in their own family to the marrow.That's right, his Meidou family has always been the subjects of Gaoting.

Only then did he know that the cavalry led by Cole did not fail, but burned all the food and grass in Highgarden.The people of Gaoting stifled their anger, and now they are all on the Green Valley City.

Cole really didn't think about occupying the castle to meet the enemy. He just wanted the generals to change horses and go to the Dorn Mountains. Our little chubby Earl has already brought people to set up a stronghold here. For the next period of time The Dorne Mountains will be their hiding place.

Not getting any horses slowed down their marching speed. Fortunately, the Gaoting people thought they had already entered the castle of Green Valley City.When the people of Gaoting broke through the castle, they did see a lot of horses.

Baron Meidou was sent to the foot of Storm's End as a criminal, and the culprit was caught, so Mace Tyrell could make an explanation to the king.Although the culprit has been denied.

When Cole led the steps to the stronghold, the chubby Earl Duran Barr Emmon welcomed them.

He wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Storm's End. Although Renly's army has surrounded the castle, the waterway is still in Stannis' hands.

The news reached the hands of the two deer at the same time, and the hearts of Storm's End were naturally excited, which undoubtedly greatly relieved their pressure.On Renly's side, the lords were silent.

They had made all the preparations, and they were just waiting for the food and supplies to arrive before launching a strong attack on Storm's End, but something happened to the most critical link.

The moment the army set out, they could no longer view them as serfs. If you think that status and force can deter these people, you are wrong.

Without food, the things they have to face are serious. It is acceptable for soldiers to defect, but it is not good if they rebel.
