The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 53 Peace of Andas (10k)

On the day after the banquet, when people slowly wake up from their hangovers, which is often already in the afternoon, someone will discover that something happened in the expeditionary camp that will have a profound impact on the entire Andas. matter.

That is, Gretchen Chet, the famous slave owner of the river valley, announced that he would make an extremely pious confession in front of the Seven Gods. In order to atone for his past crimes, he decided to accept the Seven Gods' strictest punishment for sinners in order to repent of his past sins. offense.

The seven confessions are composed of hanging, starving, reciting scriptures, whipping, fighting, kneeling with a stone, and finally burning a seven-star mark on the back with a hot iron.

At first, everyone watched Gleicher being tortured for fun, and cheered loudly when he was hung up.

Gleicher's reputation in the river valley was extremely bad. Many people wanted to see the slave owners in embarrassment, and some people set up bets on when Gleicher would be unable to bear the punishment and escape.

However, amidst the cold looks and ridicule, Gleicher persisted. In two days, he went through difficult punishments one after another without saying a word.

Now, in the square of the expeditionary camp, Gleicher is accepting the seventh punishment, which is the seven-star branding. This is the last punishment. After this punishment, Gleicher's confession is over. .

The strong man put the red-hot iron on Gleicher's body. As he moved, the flesh and the iron made a "sizzling" sound, and the aroma of barbecue also filled the air, but the slave owner , or it could be said that the former slave owner just bit his tongue and said nothing.

Farmer Snow oversaw the execution of the punishment. This simple farmer had recently become the prison officer of the expeditionary force and was in charge of the discipline of the entire expeditionary force. Even the head farmer, who was used to seeing punishments carried out, still marveled at Gleicher's strength when he saw Gleicher's silence.

"What a tough guy. This is the first time I've seen such a character."

"Seven Gods, this slave owner is too powerful."

"The seven gods bless you, the seven gods bless you."

Everyone who saw Gleicher's miserable condition couldn't help but sigh that he could remain silent despite such a punishment, and he actually endured this punishment to the seventh time.

After witnessing these punishments, everyone's sense of the slave owner has changed. Even the people who hate him the most cannot deny his repentance.

This is exactly what Gleicher wants to see. As the news spreads, from now on, part of people's original impression of the slave owner will be replaced by a pious person who has endured the seven penances. He does not expect people to forget the past. , I just hope that the colors of the past can be faded.

Among the people watching the punishment, Hu Ge, who was sitting in the tent, also sighed. He could see the scene outside now when he raised his head.

The seven confessions were not fatal punishments, and it was not difficult to endure them, but they were all very painful. Gleicher was so tough that he remained silent during the seven confessions.

From the perspective of the Seven Gods, the lower the scream of a person who accepts the seven confessions, the stronger his piety. Gleicher's performance undoubtedly means that he is an extremely pious person.

Among the people who were shocked by Gleicher's performance, the least surprised was the Lord of Swan Hill, Burlich, and those who were familiar with Gleicher. They knew very well what Gleicher was like.

Then, the high lord lamented for Gretchel's enemies. Those guys didn't do things cleanly, and then they would have to bear the revenge from Gretchel, even if they were the princes and governors of Pentos. Gretchen was also unlucky.

However, if he wasn't so dangerous, why were the men of Pentos so eager to deal with him? Grecher made the adults of Pentos feel threatened, so they decided to use his plan to kick him out, but no one expected that this guy actually jumped off the ship successfully.

Gleicher is indeed carrying the punishment with hatred and insisting on keeping silent. He vowed to make all those who betrayed him pay a thousand times the price of his tragic situation today. Although those who directly plotted against him were already dead and could not escape, the big shots in Pentos City were still there.

Little Gleicher was standing next to Hugo. He was wearing a blouse with a seven-pointed star instead of a gecko of the Teeter family. He was very heartbroken when he saw his father being tortured, but he did not speak or feel sorry for him. Father asks for marriage.

Hugo glanced approvingly at little Gleicher, who was staring at his father who was being tortured. If not, he would have noticed Hugo's gaze immediately and stepped forward to ask Hugo if he had any needs.

The God's Favored One liked this child very much. When this child came to his side, Hugo easily picked up all his thoughts and thoughts. And then he did this to a cunning and unscrupulous person like Gretchen. He was very surprised to see his son, who looked nothing like his slave-owning father.

But this is a good thing. For Hugo, this young man can stay with him and train him slowly. When he inherits the Tite family in the future, the Tite family will become a major help to him or his descendants.

On the other side of Hugo is the Saint Statina of the river valley. Although the Saint looks very plain on the surface, Hugo knows that she dislikes Gretchen very much. After all, she has been fighting against Gretl for some time.

For the same reason, Gleicher did not like her either, and the slave owner instigated him to burn Statina more than once.

"Hongzhi is really tolerant. It seems that I have underestimated him all these years."

When Burlich regarded Gleicher's torture as some kind of appreciation of the beautiful scenery, he heard a familiar voice coming, turned his head, and saw the face he expected.

"'Broken Shed' Seer, the great lord of the Triangle, if you don't surround that saint, how come you have the time to talk to me? You are her savior, what? You don't want to get more territory from her. claim?"

Of course, Berlich knew this man's name. He was none other than the Lord of the Triangle, one of the three lords of the hills, Ser Gurtlo. This man looked to be in his forties, and his whole body looked like an old tree stump. Tough.

During the great battle in the Land of Peace, it was he who led the army in the Triangle to free the Saint from the control of the slave owners.

However, unlike Berlich who conquered the entire Swan Hill with iron and blood, Purcell's position as high lord was obtained by doing justice in the Triangle. Everyone obeyed him, so he became the high lord. .

Berlich looked down upon Purcell for becoming a great lord like this. It was impossible for him to hand over the power to his son, so what was the meaning of the position of great lord? Moreover, once Purcell died, the triangle would be in chaos. It will definitely break out again.

"To me, land is meaningless. Many of my men circle around the Saint every day, trying to get land, but unfortunately they all failed. It's rare for me to see you, so I came to say hello. There are only three great lords here except Keilal. It would be great if Andas could have that kind of unity."

Seer lamented the current situation. Over the past hundreds of years, the resistance launched by the Andals has always been endless, but unfortunately, most of these resisters have become nostalgic martyrs in poetry, like It was today's success that originally seemed impossible to him.

In fact, it was indeed impossible. If Hugo hadn't suddenly barged in, the Pantos people's plan would have been carried out smoothly.

"Kelar from Ash Valley Chong is still watching all this with a cold eye on the mountain. It's like his family. They have been like this for generations. I really don't know what he is thinking."

"No matter what you think, what else can it be? Of course, it is when you can get the most benefit by entering the game. Their family has always been like this."

Berlich was full of disdain for the Ashvale Chong family. Those vultures had always only picked peaches. They would even betray their relatives without hesitation when they thought the interests were suitable. They were responsible for the failure of several Andal uprisings. reason.

However, despite constant betrayals, the Talamant family of Ashvale Chong still maintains power, ruling Ashvale Chong for generations, and is inextricably linked to Loras, and their rule has not been shaken in any way.

"But what do you think of Gleicher? I think this guy will still be an important person in Andas in the future. After today's scene, he has been completely cleared."

Burlich was unwilling to discuss the great lord of Ash Valley Chong, but shifted the topic to the present. Gretchen's confession has now reached the final stage. It won't be long before the slave owner's atonement will be completed.

"I also feel that we will still be neighbors with this guy for a long time. As for what will happen to him later, let's talk about it later."

When Purcell finished speaking, Gleicher's torture had been completed. Seven stars were branded on his body with a branding iron. Together with other scars from torture, he could be said to be covered in bruises. Hugo walked to the dying Gleicher and arrived. His performance moments.

"Gleicher Tit, he has completed seven confessions. The Seven Gods have seen the redemption of Gretchel's crimes. If you don't experience pain, there is no point in repenting. When Gretchel accepts the punishment, it is him When we are closest to the gods, the "Seven Stars Bible" says: All crimes will eventually be forgiven, but punishment must be accepted first. Gleicher has accepted his punishment, and the Seven Gods have shown his divine power. My Relatives, let’s thank the Seven Gods for their grace.”

Following Hugo's words, everyone present began to praise the holy names of the Seven Gods. Then Hugo helped Gleicher up and quickly ordered the doctor to send the former slave owner to be bandaged.

It's over. Hugo sighed and looked at the pool of blood in front of him. Hugo once again marveled that Gretchen could really endure.

"Lord Hu Ge, the next step is my business. Let's go see my father. You have tortured him for two days, but he still hasn't said a word, so I should use my method."

The one who spoke was Statina, and the father she was talking about was naturally the captured Varian Karuner.

They needed to dig out information from this guy, about the slave owners of Pentos, so they had been tortured since they captured this guy, but Vorrian had a very tough mouth and was unwilling to say a word.

Hu Ge nodded, it seemed that she could only use her method, and then the two of them went to a dirty place that no big shot in the expeditionary force would go to - to be precise, they would not go to it openly - the torture room.

The departure of Hugo and Statina caused many people to whisper behind their backs. Gossips between big shots were always a topic for everyone to talk about. However, due to the identities of these two people, no one dared to talk too much.

The torture room was set up in a remote part of the camp. There was usually no one there, and no one liked this gloomy place with endless screams.

Amidst the salute of the torture officer, the two walked into the tent. By the firelight in the tent, they saw Varian being hung up naked, like a roasted chicken. He was hung there. After being whipped so hard, his back was covered in blood and flesh, and his thighs and buttocks were covered with dense scars.

"Two adults, we initially thought that we would be able to pry out everything we needed from his mouth very quickly, but his mouth was unbelievably tough, so we tortured him, but he still held strong... That's it, two adults. "

When the torturer spoke, he looked at Statina worriedly from time to time, and wiped his hands on the leather apron from time to time. Although the saint agreed to the torture order, this was the saint's father after all, and he was not sure that the saint would What kind of attitude.

But Statina just waved her hand and asked the torturer to retreat. After the torturer turned around and showed a relieved expression, Statina said to the hanging Varian, "Father, I came to see you, and you didn't either. Think about it, one day we will meet under such circumstances, and now I am looking at you condescendingly."

Statina asked the lifeless man to move. He raised his head and saw his illegitimate daughter, with strong resentment flashing in his eyes.

"It's you, you, the evil product of desire. I finally found a task for you, this evil product, to prove your worth, but you betrayed me like this. The blood of illegitimate daughters is indeed evil."

"Shut up." Statina was not angered by Varian, but said contemptuously, "You are a scumbag who doesn't know what justice and evil are. Now tell me, what is the plan of the Pentos people?" Kind of."

"Do you think I will tell you? Impossible, you fool, you will never know Prince Villerian's plan, and when the Prince's plan is completed, both you and that Hugo will be hanged, the corpses They will all be torn into pieces! And the Karen family will become the great nobles of Pentos!"

Warrian's face was full of pride, and the resentment caused by the continuous torture burst out. At this time, Hugo wanted to say something to calm the slave owner's arrogance, but Statina raised her hand to stop him, and also Gave him a "leave it to me" gesture.

"Varian, you look so funny now. I just said it and you really believed it. Do you think we don't know the plan of the Pentos people? We just wanted to tell you that your family has become a victim." , the Prince of Pentos you entrusted to us wants to come up with a scapegoat for his failure, and the Karuner family is very suitable."

"No, this is impossible. It's just that you, an illegitimate daughter, are slandering the family. You are indeed the same as your mother, and you will definitely be as short-lived as your mother." Vorian was anxious and hurriedly mocked.

Warrian's words obviously hit Statina's heart, and the saint's expression changed drastically. Seeing this, Warrian spoke more, and a proud expression finally appeared on his face.

"Just enjoy your short-lived victory. The Pantos army will soon come to destroy you, as well as the adventurer beside you. I guess you have climbed into his bed, but the fall of your backer is just a matter of time. It’s a matter of time, he will die faster, and everything will prove by then that I am the winner, the Karuner family will become the famous family of Pentos, and your names will be forgotten as filth.”

"Why do you want me to die faster, slave owner, with your troops that have been wiped out, or with the army of Pantos? The Pentos army has been disbanded for a long time, I don't think the slave owner's mercenary army has anything Combat ability."

Hugo spoke, and his words made the slave owner smile even more. "You are an idiot who doesn't know when you are about to die, and you are an ignorant and ridiculous adventurer. I failed so miserably here, and you will fail even more than me in the future." Unfortunately, your retreat will soon be cut off, and you will just wait to become a turtle in the urn in the river valley. I regret that I cannot see that day, but your defeat is doomed and cannot be changed! Hahaha."

Hu Ge clenched his fist and wanted to hit the old man directly in the face. A prisoner was still shouting here. He didn't understand his identity, but Statina pulled his sleeve, and Hu Ge Ge remembered Varian's words. He stopped and looked at the hung slave owner in amusement.

And Statina said to Vorian, "Thank you, Vorian, thank you for telling me something very important."

"What?" Vorian obviously didn't understand what was going on, but the appearance of the two people in front of him still made him very uneasy, "I understand, you are deceiving me, and I will never fall for it!"

Statina ignored him at all and just gave him a contemptuous look. Hugo subconsciously looked at Statina and then at Count Vorian. The saint's face no longer had the previous hurt. Statina really knows how to control her emotions.

"Lord Hugo, we have got what we want."

Statina urged, not even bothering to look at his father's incompetent rage. Hugo glanced at Warrian. The guy's mood became more and more unstable and he looked manic, but Hugo still punched him. Tell him to stop showing that annoying look.

"Lord Hugo, the goal of the Pantos army is your landing place." After coming out, Statina said to Hugo, her expression was very serious.

Hugo nodded in response. He heard Varian's words, which made his brows knit together.

The Pentos army is currently heading towards the ship rampart? That would be terrible. The ship barrier is the retreat of the expeditionary force and the key to the expeditionary force. If this place is lost, it will have an extremely terrifying impact on the expeditionary force, and the morale of the army will also be fatal.

However, he still has other worries, "Do you think this is Volrian misleading us? But there is a Valyrian road that leads directly to Andas. If the Pentos people go here..."

"Please rest assured, this is absolutely impossible." Statina interrupted Hugo, "Although my father is tough, he is just a pampered noble after all, and the Kaluner family's unchallenged status makes He has never experienced a real test, so it is absolutely impossible for him to have such a mind."

Statina's words dispelled Hugo's worries to a certain extent, but he did not dare to be completely reassured, so he decided to make two preparations.

"Ms. Statina, I need your support next." Hugo went straight to the topic without saying anything to Statina, "I must return to the ship base as soon as possible." "Please rest assured, Sir Hugo , I will do my best to support you." The proud look on Statina's face immediately disappeared and turned into seriousness. She also understood the importance of what Hugo was facing.

"Thank you very much. I will hold a meeting next and invite you to attend."

After saying these words, Hu Ge hurried towards his tent, not even paying attention to the people around him who saluted him, which showed his eagerness.

Statina watched him leave, then looked at the tent where her father was imprisoned. Determination flashed in her eyes. She would not let her father succeed. He must look after his family and this damn slave industry. destruction.

She knew very well that if she wanted to realize this wish now, she could only rely on Hu Ge. Therefore, she secretly decided that no matter what decision Hu Ge made, she would support it unconditionally.

When the urgent bell is rung, most people's first reaction is confusion. They have no idea why the bell is ringing.

However, the middle and upper-class people in the expeditionary force reacted very quickly. They immediately rushed to Hugo's camp. The sound of the bell was a signal to summon everyone to discuss the emergency.

Hugo watched the members of the expeditionary force being sorted out in front of him. The distribution of forces in the expeditionary force had now changed again. On his right were locals, led by the two great lords of the hills, Berlich and Purcell, and then They are the various Andas lords and the rebel slave leaders, and on the left are the nobles of the expeditionary force.

Hugo got straight to the point, "My lords, I have received information that the slave owners have gathered a large army in Pentos. This army is rushing towards the ship rampart to cut off our retreat and cut off us from Westeros." contact."

These words made everyone pay attention, especially everyone in the expeditionary force. Cutting off the retreat to Westeros made many people uneasy.

However, there are also some who are calm. After all, they have captured the entire Andas, and it is not a big deal if their back is cut off, but they are still not many after all.

As for the local Andals, most people are very calm. Even if they are serious, they are only serious because of strategic reasons. They are rooted in the Andals, and the ship fortress being attacked is not within their scope of consideration. .

"Quiet, quiet." Hu Ge slammed the table, and the scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone present looked at Hu Ge, "I will lead the army back to the ship base as soon as possible. Now, I want to explain Andas's actions." Personnel arrangements.”

Everyone present was in high spirits. Everyone here knew how important Hu Ge’s words were.

After annihilating the slave owners loyal to Pentos, the Saint's attitude towards the expeditionary force became very obvious. Whether they are willing or not, everyone has to admit that the current leader of Andas is the man in front of him from the Narrow Sea. The adventurer coming from the other side.

"I will leave Lord Bonifer and Lord Wood in the Land of Peace, and together they will assist the Gleicher family's army in managing the Land of Peace and suppressing the remaining slave owners everywhere."

Bonifer and Wood, one of them is a devout knight in Westeros, and the other is the first batch of Eastern Andals loyal to Hugo. They are both reliable in terms of ability and loyalty. It is just right to use them. Spy on the Gleicher family.

Although Gleicher bled profusely just to get on Hugo's ship, Hugo still didn't trust this person, so he wanted to take Gleicher and his family army to the ship rampart, and he had base area, let your own people take over.

And, more importantly, holding the wealthy land of Anle in your hands will be of great help in controlling Andas.

"Yes, Lord Hugo."

The knight and the shepherd stood up together and said respectfully to Hugo. Hugo saw that Bonifer's expression did not change, while Wood's face was full of excitement. After all, for this shepherd, he had reached the top in one step.

"Ms. Statina, I need you to join Lord Marlon Manderly to station in Ge Dohe and rebuild the fortifications on the ruins. As for Twin Star City, Bonifer, after Ms. Statina's troops leave, After that, you will immediately enter Twin Star City."

As a saint of Andas, Statina's reputation in the river valley is unmatched by Hugo's. Those who follow her still have five thousand soldiers who are weak and good even after experiencing this series of wars. In addition to the Northerners from Mandalay, it is just right for Ge Doho to guard the Valyrian Avenue.

Statina was stunned by Hu Ge's speech. She thought Hu Ge would take her people to the east to fight against the Pantos. But she didn't expect that he would send Ge Duohe and let the Westerners keep an eye on him. she.

It seemed that Hu Ge still didn’t completely trust him, which made Statina feel a little depressed. However, she did not refuse Hu Ge’s order and accepted the order together with the big fat man. The fat man from the Mandalay family had some expressions on his face. Disappointed, but still obeyed the order.

"Next, are the two adults, Berlich and Purcell. I hope you can maintain the peace and stability of Andas. Although the slave owners' armies have been defeated, they have not been completely wiped out. They are still scattered in Andas. Everywhere, it has the potential to create instability."

The reason why Hugo asked these two people to stay is very simple. They only care about the Andas land, and their reputation has little impact on them, especially that guy Belich, who almost has profit-seeking written on his face. Go up, it's okay to fight for Andas, but let them go outside, don't even think about it.

However, this kind of local snakes can also clear the boundaries very quickly. Hu Ge is letting professional people do professional things.

"That's roughly it, everyone, although we won the victory in Andas, the struggle against the slave owners is not over. We can only win after completely defeating the bastards of Pentos."

Hu Ge ended the meeting with impassioned words, and naturally everyone responded with shouts of approval. Hu Ge felt relieved when he saw the faces in front of him with all kinds of emotions expressing the same emotion.

But at the same time, he also understood that underneath his face, everyone was thinking all sorts of strange things.

"That's it, let's break up the meeting."

After the meeting, everyone dispersed and started to get busy. Under Hugo's order, everyone had to do a lot of things. The appearance of the expeditionary camp immediately changed. Those who were still sleeping were woken up, and those who were awake were awakened. People start to get busy.

Shortly after the meeting, Shepherd Wood, who suddenly gained power, approached Bonifer, who had gained power with him.

"Lord Bonifer, this is really unexpected. I never thought that I would gain such power."

Shepherd Wood looked at the people who were busy under Hugo's order and said, his tone full of emotion. Since joining the expeditionary force, many things he has experienced were unexpected.

When Wood's master was killed, he had no way to go, so he chose to join the expeditionary force with his shepherds. Because he always helped people and taught his juniors what to do, he was popular among the shepherds. With high prestige, they supported themselves as leaders.

His town was a shepherd's town, so he became the representative of the entire town and led the entire town's young people to join the expeditionary force.

As the first "local snake" to defect to Hugo, Wood gained power in this way, and then he was able to continue to rise and reach a position he had never imagined.

For Wood, this is really surprising. If this continues, one day he will become a rich man and lord with land and wealth.

Now many lords are even coming to him, wanting to marry their daughters to him, which was beyond his reach before. You know, he couldn't even raise the property for marriage, but now he has so much People rushed to give it to him.

And as his power increases, his daughter's name becomes more prominent.

"That's how life is, Mr. Wood, you don't have to be too panicked."

In sharp contrast to Wood's discomfort was Bonifer's calmness. The leader of the Hundred-Man Jihad was always so calm and made people feel so reliable - this was why Wood chose to chat with him.

"The Seven Gods have arrangements for everyone. We need to do what we need to do. We just follow the route planned by the gods for us. So, don't panic. Do what you should do. I have to go and be busy, so I won't talk. Yes, Lord Wood."

After leaving these words, Bonifer went to the side and got busy. There were really a lot of things that needed to be done, and his words did touch Wood. At least he was not as panicked as before, and he was relaxed. A lot.

He looked at the sky, feeling a lot more relaxed inside, and then took a deep breath. Yes, Lord Bonifer was right, and he also had a lot of things to do.

.

For most people in the expeditionary force, the news of the sudden departure came really suddenly, but there was nothing they could do about it. When they learned that the ship fortress was attacked by the Pentos, most of their emotions dissipated.

After all, most of the people in the expeditionary force have not yet settled down in Andas. They value their connection with Westeros more. If their retreat is cut off, it means they will not be able to return home.

What's more, there are still a group of people in the expeditionary force who plan to grab a fortune in the East and then go home to buy properties. They leave their families and wealth behind at the ship's base. If the ship's base is gone, this trip will be completely in vain.

However, what is an unexpected surprise is that some Andals have joined the expeditionary force. Most of them are lords who have been waiting and watching before the expeditionary force's victory. Now they are busy expressing their attitude towards the victor, and joining the victor's army is undoubtedly an expression of attitude. The best way to stand.

The arrival of these people, together with the troops of the Gleicher family, greatly supplemented the gap left by the garrison.

Hugo left all the slow-moving people in Andas, which meant that the tens of thousands of civilians who came with the expeditionary force were also left in Andas. They are now being filled into manors and Twin Star cities across the land of ease. , and some were arranged to go to Ge Duohe to rebuild this ruined city.

These civilians will also serve as the cornerstone of Hugo's rule in the Andas. They took over most of what the Pentos left behind. Hugo also appointed several immigration governors and gave them military power - among them Reg, the former leader of the King's Landing gang, was the one who led thousands of people from the King's Landing faction to Gol Doho.

After completing all this, the expeditionary force set off towards the ship fortress. On the fiftieth day after leaving the ship fortress, the expeditionary force embarked on the road back to the ship fortress.

In the wilderness of Andas, Hugo looked back and saw an endless line of soldiers. Most of them carried their armor on their backs. The long march made them all exhausted, but no one complain.

Marching in a hurry is a very hard thing, and it is a great torture and test for soldiers and generals. This is true even if Hugo takes the road built by the Pantos people and there are a series of military stations left on the road when he marched eastward. .

And it turned out that plans could never keep up with the changes. The supplies in those military depots could not supply the continuous flow of troops. It did not take long for these military depots to be completely shut down and turned into complete decorations.

Even Hugo's buttocks hurt from riding horses every day, and his back and back are stiff. He has to be pressed by little Gleicher every day when setting up camp. This is true even for him, the capital of the expeditionary force, and there is no need to talk about it for the others.

But today, Hu Ge was able to feel a little relieved, but not because he decided to take a rest, but because someone was coming to see Hu Ge. He was the great lord of Gray Valley Chong, Kailar.

Hugo stood on a hill next to the army column. Several guards were scattered around Hugo. Little Gleicher stood on the side holding Hugo's helmet with his back straight.

On the hill in the distance, a dilapidated tower was standing there. The tower was broken in the middle, apparently by siege equipment. Hu Ge looked at the broken tower, and a steady stream of worry came over him. Come to mind.

He felt that the tower seemed to be prophesying something, but on second thought he dismissed all these thoughts. Why did he think about these things? It was really unlucky, but with the arrival of the guests, he didn't have to think about it anymore.

When he saw the great lord of Gray Valley Chong, Hu Ge thought he was dazzled for a while, because the appearance of the great lord in front of him was beyond his expectation.

Lord Huigu Chong is an ordinary middle-aged man who would not be recognized in a crowd, but his hair is very peculiar, dyed half black and half white. According to the customs of the trading city states that Hugo knows, Only the Loras do this.

Rollas is one of the nine free trade city-states, but it is also the smallest, poorest, least populated, most backward, and most isolated among them. It has long been a vassal of Braavos. Its biggest specialty is fish, so that Rollas There is a "fisherman prince" among the rulers of Sri Lanka.

Hugo was not surprised by the Loras hair of the person in front of him. He had heard from other great lords that this great lord grew up in Loras, so he would dye his hair like this, but it was half red and half white. The hair still looks too tight, even more exaggerated than the Tyrosi's purple hair.

However, his clothes are still like those of the Andals. Throw away his hair, and he is a native Andal lord.

Hu Ge has read a lot of information about the territory of Hui Gu Chong. After all, he is the only hill lord who has been watching the chaos in the valley. Even after Hu Ge won the victory, Hu Ge remained silent.

Just like the Triangle and the Swan Hill are both surrounded by rivers, the Gray Valley is surrounded by the source river that merges into the Upper Lorne. And unlike other areas, after crossing the mountain pass of the Gray Ridge, you come to the Cold Gorge on the coast of Rossla Bay. Land and Cold Bay Land.

Historically, Gray Valley Chong has maintained close cooperation with Loras. The high lord of Gray Valley Chong sometimes sent his children to Loras for education. Kelal's Loras hair was developed during Loras' education. Habit.

After recalling the information, Hu Ge welcomed the person in front of him, "Lord Kelal, I am really grateful that you can lead the army here. The Seven Gods will definitely shine on you."

Yes, the great lord also brought an army. According to what he said in his letter, he led an army to join the expeditionary force. This was the sign of Huigu rushing onto the ship. He brought a total of three thousand people, although Like other hill lords, infantry made up the bulk, but perhaps due to additional trade with Loras, these three thousand men were generally well equipped.

Hugo naturally welcomed this warmly. He needed all available allies. Facing Hugo's compliment, Kelal was a little frightened. "As long as you are willing to accept us."

The Lord of Gray Valley Chong knew very well that he was getting on the bus to pay for the ticket. They had previously dismissed this uprising from beginning to end. Loras's connections also told them some problems, so they did not participate at all. But they never expected that the uprising would succeed.

The success immediately caused Kelal to be questioned a lot. Blocking his tribesmen from joining the uprising has put the great lord of Ashvale Chong at the forefront of public opinion. Now that the uprising has succeeded, it has dealt an even greater blow to him.

Although Gray Valley Chong has close ties with Loras, Loras is a weak city-state after all. Its military power cannot help the great lord of Gray Valley Chong gain a foothold, so even though this is a betrayal of his former allies, he He could only choose to surrender to Hu Ge.

Therefore, in order to restore his reputation, Kelar quickly gathered his troops and joined Hugo's army. Unlike the guy like Berlich who was still hiding it, Kelar directly took out the elite power of Ash Valley Chong.

Hugo, who had sent away the Lord of Ash Valley Chong and received reinforcements, was very pleased. He took the helmet held by Little Gleicher and put it on his head. However, when he looked to the west, his eyes could not help but Full of worries emerged.

What's going on over there? Can the old sparrow hold on? These are all things that Hugo is worried about, but it is useless to worry here. Everything will be known after he returns to the ground.
