The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 123 The Reconstruction of Lorne

The recovery of Gray Valley Chong greatly boosted Andas's military morale and public opinion. With the mountain pass recaptured, Andas's natural defense line was finally completed.

The fact that Kelal seized his castle and land also reassured the Andas lords, because Hugo expressed that he would fight for the rights of his vassals.

Hugo naturally gave a lot of gifts to the Dornish people who played the main role in this grand offensive, and said that if Dorne was willing, they could obtain land in Ashenvale - although Dorne was sent by Robert The debt must be repaid, but Hu Ge cannot show nothing.

However, the Dornish people only took away the gold and silver and rejected the land. The red viper even showed that Dorne had no interest in the land of Andas, so these lands were pushed to the slaves who followed the Dornish people.

There was no opposition to the enfeoffment of slaves, because the original enfeoffment system of Ashenvale Chong had been severely damaged by the Norvos people. Even though Keilal returned with many lords, there were still vacancies everywhere, and Keilal was also eager to find them. People came to fill these vacancies, so he and Hu Ge hit it off immediately.

After the banquet celebrating the recapture of Ashenvale Chong, the Dornish people did not stop. They headed south almost non-stop, going south along the Upper Lorne towards their mother river of Lorne.

All Hugo can do is arrange logistical support for the Dornish people. He has no intention of getting involved in the war in the south. What Andas needs is to lick his wounds.

Moreover, the departure of the Dornish people is also a good thing. As a ruler, Hugo does not want to see the territory filled with a large number of armed men who do not belong to him.

In this way, the Dornish people finally began their expedition. Following the Upper Rhoyne River, the Dornish people soon entered the Rhoyne River.

Therefore, after here, the dragon kings destroyed Rhoynar civilization, massacred Rhoynar cities, and wiped out Rhoynar culture, so that even if the Free Fortress collapsed, the remaining Lornar in the original land of Rhoynar None of the Ina people could restore their ancestral customs and worship.

After completing all this, the Dornish people continued to move forward, advancing on the homeland of Rhoynar. They all felt that their steps were light. Soon, they came to the ruins of Na Sa, the "city of fountains surrounded by singing" .

There is a reason why Valyria targets Rhoynar so much. Rhoynar is the strongest enemy encountered on the road of conquest of the Freehold. There is no one. The water wizard who believes in the mother river of Lorne can set off a storm that is enough to kill the dragon. The monstrous tornado, Valyria's most powerful weapon, was not that effective in front of the Rhoynar.

In Nymeria's time, the Rhoynar people, summoned by Chayon's Gaelin soldiers, gathered to completely cleanse the Valyrian forces at the mouth of the River Rhoyne, but Nymeria believed that they could not defeat Valyria. The Rylian Dragon King expressed clear opposition, but the warriors of Na Sa star still joined the command of Prince Gaelin of Chayoun. When the 300,000 Rhoynar coalition led by Guerin were destroyed under the city of Volantis, Queen Nymeria began a voyage of thousands of ships in order to save her people from the inevitable fate of destruction.

Many orphans of the Green Blood River knelt down. They had wandered on the Green Blood River for hundreds of years in order to one day return to the Mother River of Lorne. Now, the Mother River of Lorne appeared before their eyes. How could this not happen? Let them be moved.

The orphans of the Greenblood River chanted ancient prayers while pushing the raft filled with ashes into the Rhoyne River. According to Rhoynar tradition, the corpse should have been placed directly in the Rhoyne River, but the ashes in these urns were , are the ashes of countless Green Blood River orphans who have been unwilling to rest in a foreign land for hundreds of years.

Although the bloodline has been mottled, this is still a ceremony of worshiping the Lorne River. It is still a ceremony that has not appeared for many years. The Lorne River seems to have felt that emotion. The river was extremely quiet during the entire ceremony, not at all. Befitting its majesty.

At first, they did not feel that they had entered the River Rhoyne, because the river in front of them was not very wide, but before they knew it, the width of the Rhoyne River appeared like the surface of the ocean. The Dornish people were immediately shocked by this scene. They had once They had imagined the appearance of the Lorne River many times, but after much deliberation, they could not get rid of the appearance of the Green Blood River. Therefore, when they saw the Lorne River, they were all greatly shocked.

This is a ritual that has not happened in the Rhoyne River for hundreds of years. After the Dragon King of Valyria conquered Rhoynar, he systematically destroyed the civilization of Rhoynar, especially regarding the Mother River of Rhoyne. As for the sacrificial ceremony, it was even more thorough.

The Dornish people stopped advancing. On the banks of the Rhoyne River, these people who had returned from afar with the blood of Rhoynar held an ancient ceremony. Although the years had taken away too much, the orphans of the Green Blood River still sacrificed The ritual of worshiping the Mother River of Lorne has been preserved - even though this ceremony has lost many details due to the loss of records, it is still a ceremony of worshiping the Mother River of Lorne.

The ruins of Na Sa are ten times larger than Gol Doho. This is the city-state of the warrior queen Nymeria - which is why it is so special - when it was prosperous, its docks were large enough to berth half a hundred ships. The ruins of Nymeria's pink and green marble palace still remain in the ruins of Narsa, serving as a resting place for giant turtles in the River Rhoyne.

This city has extremely special significance to the Dornish people.

At the water's edge, the Dornish people held a night-long banquet. They raised their wine glasses and sang songs loudly. The men and women who met each other went to a secluded and uninhabited place to have sex. This was the Rhoynar people's worship of the mother river of Lorne. The River Rone allowed them to live in prosperity, so they should respond to the River Rone with banquets and intercourse.

Because of this special significance, the Dornish people decided to go here from the very beginning. Now, they settled directly in this ancient ruins to rebuild this ancient city.

After determining the center of rule, the Red Viper commanded the Dornish people to expand their rule over the surrounding areas. Nasa was also the intersection of the Rhoyne River and the Narn River. They did not choose to go north to the Narn River because that was the sphere of influence of Norvos. , but continued southward along the Rhoyne River to control the ruins of the Rhoyne cities.

The Dornish people did not encounter many obstacles in their actions on the Rhoyne River. At most, they fought against some local water bandits, but these water bandits were actually Rhoynar people. After the two sides fought several times and wiped out the die-hard elements among them, they chose Stand together - these water bandits were originally forced by a bad life and unsafe environment to become water bandits. If they had other choices, they would not hesitate. Like the Andals in the Andas, the Rhoynar who are still surviving in the Rhoynar homeland also have myths about their kin who went to the west to return to save them. As for why Valyria collapsed for hundreds of years, the Rhoynar of the Rhoyne River It is still lingering on, the problem is that the surrounding forces conduct regular sweeps of the Lorne River.

Volantis' fleets would regularly sail northward, massacring any settlement they could find, which they believed to be the settlements of water bandits - which was indeed the case. But if it were just Volantis, it would be nothing. But if you add the centaurs, it would be different. The Dothraki Khals also regularly raided both sides of the Rhoyne River, plundering the local villages that had finally recovered.

Volantis and the centaurs are like leeks. When a leek grows in the Rhoynar land, they will cut it. With this two-pronged approach, the population and civilization of the Rhoyne River will be restored. It is simply a matter of one thing. impossible things.

As for why no other ethnic group has taken root here, it is because of the existence of Chayon, which has greatly protected the living space of the Rhoynar people. This was once a festival capital, but now the sad collar greyscale is rampant. People who pass through this place must be extremely careful, otherwise they can contract the disease in an instant, and if just passing through is so dangerous, then how can we talk about settling down? No matter how many colonists go to Chayorn, they all end up becoming greyscale patients. Only the Rhoynar can move here. Although they are unavoidable, their infection rate is still much lower than that of other people.

The existence of Chayoun is like a roadblock, blocking Volantis to the south. As for the north, Qohor and Norvos tend to take care of their own three-acre land and have no intention of harming them. The Rhoyne expanded, and the centaurs came and went, never intending to stay here.

Thus the Rhoyne remained the Rhoyne of the Rhoynar, though they were few in number and fought on their own.

However, now the arrival of the Dornish people has changed this. They came with a powerful attitude and rebuilt the city in the former warrior queen's city-state. The surrounding Rhoynar people were attracted by this and came continuously.

All this is so easy that many Dornish people think it is untrue. After all, they have not encountered any battles along the way. However, this is also related to the area they occupy, which is a serious matter. It was related to the region, and both Norvos and Volantis were overwhelmed by the offensive from the west, and they had no time to think about matters in the region.

As for the Dornish people, while they were rebuilding the city, they also continued to enfeoff various places along the Rhoyne River. The people wanted to return home, but the nobles still wanted the land after all. However, most of the fiefdoms are still concentrated in Na Sa. nearby.

Of the 50,000 Dornish spears coming from the west, most of them plan to stay. In any case, this place is much richer than Dorne, which is filled with yellow sand. Even if it is a wasteland now, it is still a wasteland in the desert. It's tempting to interact with the Dornishmen foraging in the oasis.

As for the Green Blood River orphans who had already made up their minds to return to their hometown, they were as jubilant as anything. They had no intention of leaving at all. They even planned to send people back to the Green Blood River to collect a handful of their fellow tribesmen. return.

In terms of its policy towards the Rhoyne River, the Red Viper did not dare to rashly bring the entire Rhoyne River under its rule. Star Na and Sa were fine. Its location was very north, and the section of the Rhoyne River to the south was where the centaurs could come as they wished. Wherever you go, countless Dothraki tribes come and go. Even though information about the garbage of the Centaurs' fighting power has spread in Westeros, the Dornish people still dare not rashly block the way of the Centaurs' movements. At least we have to rebuild Na Sa Star first.

During the reconstruction of Na Sa Star, the shipyard of this ancient city was the first to be rebuilt. When operating on the Rhoyne River, the fleet is particularly important. The Orphans of the Green Blood River do not intend to give up their advantage of proficiency in navigation. And more importantly, if a large fleet can be built, it will be very convenient whether it is to prevent the Dothraki from crossing the river or to resist the Free Trade City fleets that may come from the north and south.

However, in general, the people of Dorne understand that there is still a long way to go. If you want to make the Rhoynar homeland a place where the descendants of Rhoynar can live in peace, you still need to pay countless sweat, blood and sacrifices.

For the ruler of Dorne, this distant colony gave Dorne a very necessary pressure relief valve. Dorne's population pressure was even more serious than other places in Westeros. Now, These people can all go to the East.

As the reconstruction of Na Sa progressed, the people of Westeros soon knew that they had another piece of fertile land in their Eastern cause. When people learned that the Dornish people had obtained it without paying almost any price, With such a fertile land, many people became jealous and began to complain about Dorne's good fortune - but they ignored the problems the Dornish people faced.

Dorne, as an outlier in Westeros, has always been unpopular. Although it is part of Westeros, other places regard Dorne as a country outside the continent.

However, such complaints were quickly overshadowed by another more important thing, that is, unknowingly, the time had come for Robert to mobilize his army again and start conquering.

As the Iron Throne issued the order, the entire Westeros began to move again. Countless manpower and materials began to flow throughout Westeros. Westeros's war machine started again, and both sides of the Narrow Sea became lively.

Since the beginning of the Eastern Expedition, the population flow on both sides of the Narrow Sea has been breaking records. Now, this record has been broken again, and the population flow on both sides of the Narrow Sea has reached another peak.

Teams set off from villages and towns in Westeros one after another. Many people have been preparing for this moment for a whole year. It is like countless small trickles that continue to gather, and finally a surging river appears. .

The last number that appeared exceeded the expectations of everyone in Westeros, because the number of troops gathered under the city of Myr exceeded 150,000, and this number was still increasing.
