Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

"The rebels' intention is obvious, which is to concentrate their main forces at Storm's End and wait for reinforcements from Volantis."

Arthur pointed at Storm's End Castle on the north side of Shipwreck Bay, and then pointed at Cape Wrath on the south side of Shipwreck Bay.

"But it's late autumn now, and the storms in the Narrow Sea are not familiar to Volantis captains who are accustomed to sailing in the Summer Sea, not to mention that directly reaching Storm's End requires passing through the infamous Shipbreaker Bay, so even if The advance fleet of Volantis has arrived to support Young Aegon, and their landing location will only be in the rainforest this week."

Cape Wrath is a large peninsula extending from the Stormlands into the Narrow Sea. It is bordered by Shipwreck Bay to the north, the Dorne Sea to the south, and the Isle of Ismon across the sea.

A knight named Bruce Buckler cleverly flattered the king: "What your Majesty said is that we must not only defeat the rebels of the Golden Company, but also block possible reinforcements."

Matus Rowan agreed, "Now that we have reinforcements from Dorne, we might as well send some to Cape Wrath to recapture the castle and also cut off the Golden Company's escape route to the south."

This is also a reasonable suggestion. In the face of nearly two to three times the strength of the troops, even the Golden Company who has experienced hundreds of battles does not have much hope of victory. Therefore, in addition to sticking to Storm's End, little Aegon and the Golden Company who support him You can also develop southward.

The south of Cape Wrath is a vast expanse of plains, with a rainy climate and fertile land. There is a lot of food reserves in the lord's castle and in the countryside.

The northern part of the peninsula is a forest called the "Rain Forest", which is most suitable for a break-up-type battle. If the Golden Group cannot escape, it will be even more troublesome to deal with them.

"That's right, so I decided to send you to command a reinforcement force from Dorne."

Arthur pointed to the location of Nightsong City, "There is a Dornish army of about 5,000 people here. Its commander is Gerald Dayne, the knight of Gaoyin City. I don't trust him. You take over the command and lead this army." An army attacks towards the rainforest, and while recapturing various castles, they will capture any members of the slave-catching team and hang the leader of the slave-catching team, while the rest will stay and wait to be exiled to Castle Black.”

The Dornish vanguard moved north from near Prince's Pass, then lingered there in the name of capturing Nightsong.

Arthur guessed that Dark Star Jero Dane might want to preserve the power he controlled and make trouble after the situation became clear.

You know, this Dark Star is more poisonous than the Red Viper. Prince Oberyn has always wanted to kill Gerold Dayne, but he has never been able to find a reason.

Matus Rowan once cried over the tragic death of Rhaegar's son, and he himself was more loyal to the silver-haired and purple-eyed Targaryen. Maybe he changed sides because of Arthur's hair color and eye color, so he was Sent to the south.

The Lord of Golden Tree City had no objection to this, but expressed his doubts appropriately:

"Your Majesty, I will absolutely obey your orders. But I am from the Reach, and this is the Dornish army. Isn't it inappropriate for me to command it?"

The Dornishmen and the Reachers have had a thousand-year feud, which is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

Arthur smiled slightly and called out a Dornishman.

"Nymeria Sand."

This is the second illegitimate daughter of Prince Oberyn, known as Lady Nami, who has been following her cousin Arianne Martell.

Coincidentally, his mother was a Black City noble from Volantis.

Arthur pointed at the Sand Snake and said to Matus: "Miss Nymeria is the second daughter of Prince Oberyn. She has a high status among the Dornish people and can represent Princess Arianne. After you go, If the Dornish people disobey your orders, you can ask Lady Nymeria to give orders in the name of Princess Arianne. Anyone who disobeys will be treated as disobeying the Lord's orders. Those who deserve to be jailed will be jailed, and those who deserve to be hanged will be punished. die."

Matus' ability is enough to command an army of five thousand men, and a Sand Snake can also improve the execution ability of Dornish soldiers. This combination is the most suitable.

After the arrangements were made, Arthur directly ordered Matus to take his own soldiers and Nymeria Sand to pack up and set off.

Their route started near the Bronze Gate City, entered the Dorne Frontier through the boundary between the Kingswood and the Crimson Mountains, and reached Nightsong City along the north side of the Frontier.

After driving away Matus, Arthur I began to formally give orders to this army.

"There are basically no hiding places at the end of the King's Road, and it is not easy for the enemy to ambush us. So we marched quickly, clearing out the small forces of the Golden Company along the way, and then camped a few leagues north of Storm's End."

It is basically impossible to conquer Storm's End Castle. Seventeen years ago, the 60,000 people in the Reach could not do it, and the more than 30,000 people who were about to arrive could not do it.

But it is still possible to besiege without attacking, and Arthur still has some clever methods to use.

The king's order was relatively completely implemented in the military camp that had been resting for a long time.

It took more than an hour for the nobles and knights to mount their horses and head south. The levies and logistics workers were busy loading tents onto oxcarts and handcarts. They set off late, but they had to arrive at tonight's camp at about the same time as the knights, otherwise they would probably be rewarded with a whip.

…

Stormlands, Storm's End.

This is one of the strongest castles in the Seven Kingdoms. The castle is surrounded by a heavy outer wall, which is about a hundred feet high and forty feet thick at its thickest point, and about eighty feet thick on the seaside side. The city wall consists of two layers of rock and a sandwich of sand and gravel. The stones are so compact that not even a breath of wind can escape.

The castle itself is a huge tower with a solid battlement on top, making it look like a giant spiked fist reaching up to the sky from a distance, defying the enemy.

In the spacious area on both sides of the King's Road on the north side of Storm's End, a small commotion was happening in a military camp that was three parts chaotic and seven parts neat.

A messenger just rushed out of the giant castle and went straight to the central tent of the military camp outside the city, and then all the officers of all sizes in the entire military camp were summoned to obey orders.

Moreau Jayne, a senior officer of the Golden Corps with brown skin and pale beard, was temporarily in charge of the military camp outside the city after the commander Harry Strickland led some infantry into Storm's End.

"Captain Harry ordered all the food to be moved into the castle, and the knights and their servants to go to the major castles in the south to supervise the transportation of food."

"Sir Axel Floren, you lead the soldiers from Brightwater to build catapults. Sir Roland Cullen, you take your soldiers to cut down all the trees nearby, and don't leave any for our enemies."

"The remaining soldiers, move our supplies and tents into the castle. Storm's End is big enough to accommodate our people."

Although he didn't know what decisions the people in power in the castle made, based on the orders he received, it was not difficult for Moreau Jayne to conclude that Captain Harry wanted to hold on to Storm's End.

The junior officers who received the order walked out of the tent one by one to execute the order. Moreau Jayne stopped four officers who followed the crowd out:

"Sir Axel Floren, Sir Bened Berlain, Sir Dick Cole, Sir Franklin Flowers, His Majesty and the Captain summoned us to the city to attend a military meeting."

According to convention, the military meeting of the Golden Group is attended only by the Captain, the Deputy Captains and the top-ranked senior officers, usually only nine people.

Moreau Jayne didn't know how the people invited to participate in the military meeting were determined this time, but the number was more than before.

The five knights led their personal soldiers through the immediately chaotic military camp and entered the north gate of Storm's End, and then, led by the guards, entered the lord's hall of this super-large castle.

"Attack to the north, our soldiers are more than the enemies attacking from any direction, and we can completely defeat them one by one, just like we did in the disputed land in the past." As soon as he entered the door, a loud voice came into Moreau Jayne's ears.

There were only seven or eight people in the hall that could accommodate hundreds of people. Even with the five people who came later, the hall seemed extremely empty.

Moreau Jayne and others walked for a long time before they came to the long table near the main seat.

The person who was speaking was named Tristan Rivers. As far as Moreau knew, he was famous for his bad temper.

And based on his red hair and Rivers' last name, Tristan was probably the illegitimate son of a former lord's family in Harrenhal.

Captain Harry Strickland rejected the proposal. "According to the scouts, the number of troops in the north is much larger than 10,000, at least between 15,000 and 20,000. We cannot defeat them quickly, and at most we can defeat them. While we are heading north, the other two armies of the false king Arthur will capture the castles in the southern part of the Stormlands, and even Storm's End may be lost."

"Aegon Targaryen" sitting on the main seat also opposed the military adventure of heading north: "Our loyal ally, Illyrio Mopatis has received the support of Volantis. Malachor Maegya of the Tiger Party has sent a fairly large fleet to support us. It is a more appropriate choice to hold on to Storm's End."

In fact, he didn't know how much assistance Illyrio had received from the Volantis, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, little Aegon lied.

"Yes." Harry Strickland nodded. "For more than a hundred years, we have been wandering in a foreign land. Eighty-eight years ago, Sir Aegor Rivers founded the Golden Company to prevent us from being separated. We have endured more than a hundred years of suffering. Now it is time to set foot on our homeland. Can't we endure it for a while longer?"

In the 212th year of Aegon's Conquest, the second Blackfyre Rebellion occurred, and the Golden Company was founded by Aegor Rivers, a loyal rebel.

Since the first Blackfyre Rebellion in 196, the families of the main officers of the Golden Company have been exiled to the continent of Essos. In the past three hundred years, one hundred and four years, four generations have taken over in succession, just to be able to return home.

Moro Jayne secretly agreed with the captain's statement. Although Harry Strickland looks like a foolish man without wisdom, those who are familiar with him know that this fourth captain who was promoted from the financial officer is definitely the most intelligent captain of the Golden Company.

Before doing something, the homeless Harry will take all possible favorable conditions into consideration and plan what he thinks is the most rigorous plan.

This is also the reason why Harry, who has low combat power, can firmly hold the position of the leader of this mercenary group of more than 10,000 people.

Tristan Rivers looked indignant, "We have failed several times in trying to hatch dragon eggs. Before the war, it seems that we can't hatch dragons. And I, a brave warrior, should not only protect one egg. Please adjust my position, at least let me participate in the battle in person."

It seems that he is asking for a fight, but in fact Tristan Rivers is avoiding the priceless "gem".

If he stays with the dragon egg again, Tristan feels that he will definitely find a way to steal the dragon egg and abandon his comrades who have fought for five years.

"I will never question your courage to fight for His Majesty Aegon and the Golden Company, but the dragon egg is the most important thing to His Majesty. Only when Ser Tristan fights to protect the dragon egg, can I feel at ease."

Harry praised Tristan Rivers with great emotion and asked him to continue to guard the dragon egg with two other senior officers.
