Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 137 The Dispute Between the Dreadfort and Horwood City
The strength of the Horwood family cannot be compared with the Bolton family of the Dreadfort at all. It is good that the Horwood family can keep their own territory. Their soldiers will never dare to make troubles in the territory of the Dreadfort.

Lord Harris Hornwood is another good-tempered person, not as fierce as Roose Bolton at all.

Now that the Hornwood family and the Bolton family had a bloody conflict at the junction of the two families, Ed thought with his heels, and knew that the incident was provoked by the Dreadfort.

On Lord Harris Hornwood's accusation list, Ed heard the names of Reek, Bones Ben, and Dancer Damon.Ed couldn't help wondering, was Ramsay Snow, the illegitimate son of the Dreadfort, involved in this bloody incident?
Little skinny Ramsay Snow is a potential threat, a bloodthirsty psycho who will stop at nothing to get his way.Today, the heir of the Dreadfort is Ed's adopted son Domilik, and it is entirely possible that Ramsay will attack Domilik for the right of inheritance.

Roose Bolton is an ambitious man, if he keeps Ramsay, the Dreadfort will have a mad dog, which is a potential threat to Winterfell.

If there is a chance to get rid of him, Ed will act resolutely. However, Little Skinny is Roose Bolton's illegitimate son after all, and Ed can't just execute an illegitimate son of a noble without any reason.

At the meeting of the Lords of the North in the Barren Hall, Lord Harris Hornwood looked around and his eyes rested on Ed.

"Lord Ed, the skinned soldiers of the Dreadfort, burned, killed and looted the territory of Hornwood City. Roose Bolton not only refused to admit his mistake, but also bit back, slandering that it was my soldiers who attacked them. Please help Hornwood!" The Wood family is the master!"

Ed pondered: "Earl Hornwood, who is leading the soldiers of the Dreadfort? Could it be a relative of Roose Bolton?"

Ed hoped to hear the name of Little Peeling, but Earl Horwood said: "The leader is Reek, that stinking soldier."

Master Eel Wyman Manderly cleared his throat, "Lord Ed, the Dreadfort is simply lawless! Openly murdering and robbing neighbors' land. White Harbor supports Hornwood City!"

Harris Hornwood looked at Lord Eel gratefully, and Roose Bolton's ice-like eyes were devoid of any emotion, and he whispered softly: "The wife of the Earl of Hornwood is the Earl of Wyman. My cousin, White Harbor thinks that forming a faction can bully the Dreadfort?"

Sir Herman Tallhart of Torren Square City said: "Lord Roose Bolton, Earl Hornwood's sister, married my brother Lambard Tallhart. The Tallhart family is related to the Hornwood family. I support Earl Horwood, not because of his kinship, but because he is weak, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Horwood family dare not provoke the Bolton family."

Earl Gabert Glover of Deepwood Motte said: "The territory of the Dreadfort is several times that of the Hornwood family, and Lord Harris Hornwood is a well-known honest man. Roose Bolton, why should you What about bullying honest people?"

Roose Bolton smiled lightly, "Gabert, everyone knows that Earl Horwood's illegitimate son is your adopted son in Deepwood Castle, so you favor the Horwood family."

Lord Roderick Rythwell of the Brooklands, father-in-law of Roose Bolton and father of Lady Ballerina.

The person who loves to form cliques said: "It is shameful to form cliques. Earl Hornwood relied on marriage, sent his adopted son, and gained the support of White Harbor, Deepwood Castle, and Torrhen Square City. He thought he could bully terrorists." Fort. In front of my friends in the North, I want to tell you that I support Roose Bolton and the Dreadfort!"

Earl Wyman of White Harbor patted his belly, and said with a sneer, "Earl Lathwell, are you not guilty of saying that others form gangs? Who married their two daughters to the barren village? And the Dreadfort, the three alliances that created the Streamland, Barren Tonks and the Dreadfort?"

Earl Lathwell's expression seemed to be choking, his face flushed, and he said to Ed: "Lord Ed, I cannot accept such rude accusations from Earl Wyman! Especially in my daughter's castle Li, I can't accept it!"

The Earl of Streamland obviously hoped that Mrs. Ballerina could speak out to support him. After all, Mrs. Ballet was the head of the Dustin family, and even more so, the owner of the Barren Tomb Hall. Her words carried great weight.

Mrs. Ballerina smiled and said, "I support the Fort of Dread only because of my nephew Domilik. My lords, tomorrow is my wedding, so there is no need for you to be so embarrassing."

Ed crossed his fingers, and said calmly: "In the final analysis, this is a bloody conflict. Once I find out the murderer, I will not be relentless. Before that, I announced that the disputed place between the Dreadfort and Horwood City will be settled by Winterfell will be taken back, and Winterfell will set up military settlements in the disputed area."

"The military camp is garrisoned by soldiers from Winterfell City. Anyone who dares to move the military camp will be a traitor in the northern border."

Such a ruling means that the Horwood family has lost a small piece of territory. However, since Winterfell is stationed in the disputed area, the Dreadfort can no longer encroach on the territory of the Horwood family. Therefore, Earl Harris Horwood Such a ruling is very satisfactory.

"With the protection of the soldiers of the Stark family, our city of Hornwood will be much safer. Lord Ed, I welcome you to my territory, please garrison more troops."

Roose Bolton, as the one at fault, could only accept it.

Once Ed is stationed in the territory of Hornwood City, it is equivalent to Winterfell establishing an outpost next to the territory of the Dreadfort near Sheep's Head Mountain.The Stark family has strengthened their control over Hornwood City, and it is difficult for the Bolton family of the Dreadfort to encroach on their neighbors' territories.

Hornwood City's territory is located between White Harbor and Dreadfort, and its strategic location is very important. Ed set up a military camp in Hornwood City's territory, just to remind the Bolton family to remain loyal and obedient.

The territorial dispute between Hornwood City and the Dreadfort had just ended, and Rorger, Luce, and Rickard of the Streamland began to complain to Ed about the disputes between the ranch and the village.

These are the cousins ​​of Earl Rodrik of the Streamland. They all own their own territories, and conflicts often break out in the villages because of pastures. Each of them has a different horse head coat of arms.

Under normal circumstances, these issues should be adjudicated by the earl of the stream, but these few Leswells chose to bypass the head of the family to petition Ed, which made the earl of the stream uncomfortable.

The Earl of Streamland scolded his cousins ​​angrily: "You guys, do you want to bother Duke Ed for the matter of the ranch? Are you going to bring out the scandal in Streamland to make the nobles from all over the North laugh? ?”

In the end, under the curse of the Earl of Streamland, these Layswells reluctantly withdrew their accusations.
