Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 89 The Devil’s End Actor Tan

Lu carried Arthur through a doorway that was at least ten meters long and entered the King Burning Tower in Harrenhal.

The Burning King's Tower is one of the five towers at Harrenhal and is the location of the Lord's Chambers.

Although the He'an family has declined, their hospitality still maintains the standard of the Earl family.

Several stable boys hurried over and held the reins of the visitors.

"I want to see Mrs. He'an." Arthur handed the parchment with trout prints to a steward, and then stated his request.

"No problem, the countess is bored because she has no visitors!"

The steward was very smart. He just glanced at the Tully family logo and returned his hands to Arthur.

As for what was written on it, he did not study it in detail.

The steward hurriedly left to inform the master and asked two male servants to take the guests to a suitable place.

When he arrived at his destination, Arthur realized that it was still the same hall he came to last time. Although it was a large room that could accommodate about a hundred people, it was not yet the castle hall.

The real castle hall - the Hundred Furnaces Hall - will not be open to people like Arthur.

That is a huge room that can accommodate two to three thousand people. The current He'an family may not even be able to find enough people to clean the Bailu Hall.

After a while, the manager, Richard, helped Mrs. He'an, who was in her sixties, and walked into the room.

"It's you, the young man who helped me. Do you want to see me?"

Arthur suspected that Mrs. Hean could no longer remember her name. After all, she was very old.

After thinking about it, he decided to start with the current situation.

"What do you think, Madam, of Lord Tywin sending two armies?"

Mrs. He'an sat down at the main seat, then asked Arthur and the guests to sit on the chairs nearby, and then said slowly:

"I'm a bad old woman, what should I do? If Tywin leads an army to attack, I can just run away."

The chair was placed against the wall. Arthur felt that it was not very comfortable to talk to the owner like this, so he took the chair a few steps forward, then turned it ninety degrees, facing Mrs. He'an.

The Dornishmen, members of the Blood Troupe, and the Riverland Cavalry didn't know why Arthur was doing this, so they also did the same thing.

Then Mrs. He'an and the manager Richard stared at the thirty-three people in front of them.

But Arthur did not have this embarrassment, he said calmly:

"But once you escape, there will be no dangerous pass in the entire Riverlands south of the Red Fork River and north of the Blackwater River that can stop Tywin's 20,000-strong army."

"Do you want me, an old woman, to wait here to die?" Mrs. He'an asked doubtfully.

Arthur started his persuasion plan: "That's it, I'm chasing the Magic Mountain, and now he's heading west. When the time comes, I will go to Riverrun, Stonehedge and my own territory to bring some people with you. Defend Harrenhal together."

"You also know that this huge castle can be said to be the strongest city in the Riverlands. As long as there are three to four thousand people, it can withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops. As long as Harrenhal is in the hands of us Riverlanders, we If we implement the strategy of clearing the country and strengthening the walls, Tywin will not be able to lead his army to roam the vast land around the God's Eye Lake, because we can attack his food line at any time."

"But according to rumors, Tywin has an army of 20,000 in Corner Valley City. How many people do you have? Just thirty or fifty? Forgive the old woman in front of you, she can't count now." He An The lady chuckled.

She no longer cares much about these external matters, as long as she lives.

"Tywin has Tywin's army, and I, Arthur, also have Arthur's friends. When I go to hunt down the Demon Mountain, I will borrow a team of men. When the time comes, I will personally lead my troops and help my lady defend Harrenhal." Arthur replied.

Mrs. He'an shook her head and said no more.

Richard, the relatively young middle-aged manager next to her, questioned:

"Forgive me, it's about the master's life, I have to ask clearly. If you can't borrow the army, will we still wait for you in this dilapidated castle?"

"I have a thousand people myself." Arthur felt that with his current reputation, a thousand farmers could still be summoned. "Whether they can borrow an army or not, I will be there in person within three weeks. "

The He'an family doesn't take Harrenhal seriously, but Arthur treats it like a treasure.

"The young man is a responsible person." For some reason, Mrs. He'an found Arthur very pleasing to her eyes.

"I will listen to you and wait here for two or three weeks. We have dozens of guards, plus the manpower of Heron Town, thousands of people still can't break through this place. No matter how many enemies come, I will have to Escaped."

She made the final decision.

Heron Town is a nearby town with the largest dock in Divine Eye Lake and a permanent population of several thousand. It is also the only place where they collect taxes.

After all, there is currently a noble and her servants living in Harrenhal, and the tax revenue of a town is enough.

"Excellent." Arthur stood up and praised, "When historians write a biography of Harrenhal in the future, you will become the smartest owner in the past."

"Maybe, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Arthur waved his hand and rejected the proposal, "No. In order to get here, we deviated a little from the trail of the Magic Mountain, and we have to catch up with them as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned around and left with his men.

The manager, Richard, watched the group of people walk out of the room, and then asked:

"Do you really want to wait for them? I think it's better to be prepared."

Mrs. He'an said a little tiredly: "What can I do if I believe him once? Tywin's army is not all cavalry. Even if they arrive at Heron Town, we will have time to escape."

……

In Harron, Arthur used Horst's parchment order to recruit twenty-one soldiers from the various families in the riverlands who passed by.

Originally, these people were going to gather in Riverrun, but they were civilians and could only rest in Harron.

Now, with Arthur, they had a total of fifty-four people, and they had an advantage in strength against the thirty-odd people of the Mountain.

The Lord of the Red Mill did not waste time and ordered to set off to pursue Clegane and the Westerlands along the Red Fork River.

Three and a half days later, the Mountain was caught up by them again.

This time, because there were more people, the results were quite fruitful.

The Mountain was dragged by Arthur and fought with him for a long time, but he was still scraping.

"Seven Gods, don't you get tired?" Clegane lost his patience with Arthur's fight and shouted angrily.

"Even if I die of exhaustion, I will kill you. Because I have sentenced you to death." Arthur swung the hammer again and hammered the Mountain's thigh armor with all his strength.

There, it had been deformed by the continuous impact of the hammer.

"I won't fight anymore, retreat, retreat." The Mountain shouted.

In the past seven or eight days, due to Arthur's day and night pursuit, retreat has almost become his catchphrase.

As usual, he turned around and ran, and then waited for his subordinates who ran fast to bring him his horse.

But this time, he couldn't wait for his loyal and reliable subordinates to bring him his horse, because there were only seven or eight people left out of more than thirty people.

The notepad had been killed, and Sweet Mouth Raff himself was injured.

Arthur's attack came again, and the Mountain had no choice but to turn around, push down the enemy, and run to his mount.

There were still 28 people left on the River People's side.

Looking at the fleeing Westland soldiers, Arthur stood up and gathered the remaining people, and then ordered to find a boat by the Red Fork River.

"Prepare to cross the river."

A cavalryman from the Pink City asked, "Sir, are you no longer chasing the Mountain?"

"He only has a few people now, and he can't burn the village. And you can see that my little hammer can't break the three layers of armor of the Mountain."

"This place is not far from my territory. There is a huge hammer there, which is enough to break the defense. I can only kill the Mountain if I bring that handy thing with me."

Arthur explained.

Since we are here, we have to go back and check the territory.

There are quite a few people in the Red Mill now. The manager Amber is an honest man. He may not be able to control the newcomers. Arthur has to go back and set rules.

It's hard to find a big ship, but a small ship can be easily summoned.

A farmer who was transporting the fish he caught saw them first, and then said that he could call two more such ships, which were enough to transport Arthur and his men to the other side.

The lord of the Red Mill left ten people to guard the horses, and then led the people across the river.

After seeing Master Tully's parchment, the peasants worked hard to carry Arthur halfway upstream, which allowed them to land at the small ferry in the riverside village.

Due to rumors of war, the ferry had been monitored for a long time. When they saw their lord bringing people back, many people came out to greet them not far away.

Of course, some people also went to the village to inform them.

Soon, Arthur met the village chief Jace and others who came to greet him.

"Master, you are finally back. I tell you, there are many outsiders coming now, and I can't manage them well."

Arthur ignored him and ordered a few ox carts to be found.

The soldiers following him were very tired, and they couldn't be allowed to walk to the castle.

Jace quickly executed the order.

About an hour later, Arthur saw the big village he had built.

Although it was considered sufficient when it was built, it is still a bit small now.

There was a circle of tents outside the village, where farmers who took refuge from the south bank of the Red Fork River lived.

Since they could arrive here by boat after going north to the Trident River and its tributaries, they arrived earlier than Arthur.

It was estimated that there were already several thousand farmers who had arrived, and there were more on the way.

Although the north bank of the Red Fork River was relatively peaceful after the war broke out, and there was no forced rations from the Westerland and Northerland soldiers.

But with so many people, some defensive measures had to be taken.

But before Arthur could think, a large number of people came over.

"It was the righteous Lord Bracken."

"He must have killed the Mountain, where is the head of that beast?"

"Can we go home now?"

These were all victims of the Mountain's evil deeds, and at this moment they looked eagerly at Arthur sitting on the ox cart, expecting him to give a satisfactory answer.

The crowd began to gather, and the ox cart could not move forward at all.

Arthur had no choice but to stand up and press his hands to calm the group of people down.

Then, he chose his words carefully and said, "I have killed more than 120 followers of the Mountain. He escaped with a few people. It was my mistake that I failed to kill him."

"But don't worry, Clegane won't be able to jump for a few days. I will bring more powerful weapons and smash his head with a hammer, so that the injustice and suffering you have suffered will be justified."

People began to cheer quietly, but were drowned out by Arthur's voice.

"But you can't go home yet. Tywin's army is eyeing you covetously. It's not safe south of the Red Fork River. Staying on the north bank may make life a little difficult, but you can save your life."

After speaking, Arthur signaled the crowd to make way for him to pass.

After pacifying the peasants, no one blocked his way, and Arthur was able to enter the big camp and then the family castle.

After hearing that Arthur was going home, a dozen people of status gathered in the hall.

General Manager Amber, several village chiefs, Dickon Tarly, Ange, the leader of the Blood Troupe, Varg Hoth, the leader of the King's Landing mercenaries, Bill, the leader of the River Reach mercenaries, and Kerry, the leader of the River Reach mercenaries, all came.

This made the small room seem crowded.

General Manager Amber first reported the situation of the territory.

After the construction of the big village, the maester Benji of Alan City had left, and the 100 elite soldiers who assisted in the defense of Stonehedge City were also taken to Riverrun by Earl Janos.

There are about 6,000 people in the territory now. In addition to the original 2,000 people, the rest are landless farmers on the south bank.

Fortunately, most of them brought food and daily necessities, so there is no problem with supplies for the time being.

Amber had previously selected 200 relatively strong adult men for training, and they also stopped after Javier and the Stonehedge City soldiers left.

"The recruitment and training of new soldiers from the peasants will be handed over to Dickon and Bill. You two must do a good job of this."

One of them has received professional military training, and the other is a well-known mercenary with rich experience. The combination of the two is enough to train new soldiers.

"Okay, Mr. Arthur."

"As you wish."

The two replied.

Now Arthur has more than 800 sets of armor, enough to arm an army.

There are enough soldiers. The Riverland is the second largest grain-producing area in the Seven Kingdoms, and its population is also in the top two of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Amber is responsible for asking the farmers to hand over their farm tools, and then forge them into round helmets and spear tips. New soldiers who have not been assigned full armor will be equipped with long spears and iron helmets, and let them practice the long spear and large shield formation as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir." Amber accepted the order.

After giving instructions for a long time, Arthur asked someone to carry his giant hammer away.

The giant horse Red Hare was transported to the south bank by the chief steward Amber. It was big enough with a golden vest to carry Arthur's giant hammer.

A lot of members of the Blood Troupe have gathered, and Arthur took 20 of them to fight the Mountain.

Wager also went with him. He had no objection to Arthur's consumption of his men, and he had no moral burden.

Anyway, he could get 15 gold dragons for every member of the Blood Troupe who died.

After the nearly 200 gold dragons that were missing before were replenished, Wager felt that this gold owner was worth it, and he would get gold by working for him.

…

Eight days later, the territory of the Pink City, the Amphitheater Beach.

"The battle is ahead. The two armies led by the Mountain and Amory Lorch have already fought with Earl Beric's men."

A cavalryman from the City of Rest replied.

He was one of the 53 people that Ma Ke and Raymond lent to Arthur more than 20 days ago. After more than a dozen battles, there are only a few of his companions left.

Because he was familiar with the nearby terrain, Arthur sent them to scout everywhere and finally found the whereabouts of the West Border soldiers.

At the same time, it was discovered that the westermen had already started fighting with the King's Landing Law Enforcement Team led by Earl Beric Dondarrion from the Stormlands.

The situation was not very optimistic. After the Mountain returned to Tywin's main army near Horndale, he received another team of 150 people.

And another 100-man westermen, led by Sir Amory Lorch, were also sent to snipe Earl Beric.

The King's Landing Law Enforcement Team only had about 120 people, and the situation was precarious.

"Ange raided the formation, the rest of you follow me." Arthur shouted.

He led 46 people to charge.

The battle that had already started was taking place in front of the beach of the small town of Mummers Strand.

Without an opponent of the same weight as Arthur, the Mountain's sword could not be stopped by anyone.

The sword with black and red blood flying up and down could send a member of the law enforcement team to see the Seven Gods in one go.

Considering that there were still 20 guards of Duke Eddard in the law enforcement team, they might be meeting the old gods.

This group of law enforcement team members came from all over the world, including Stormlanders, Northerners, King's Landing, Rivermen, and Myr.

They may not have known each other before, but just to punish a group of demons who did the most evil things in the world, they gathered together under the order of Lord Eddard, and then chased all the way to the upper reaches of the Red Fork River.

At present, only about half of the members of this group of law enforcement team are standing, and the rest have died in the battle.

What made them despair was not the great sword of the Mountain - dying under the sword of the Mountain would have fulfilled their honor - but the countless westerland soldiers around them.

Why are there so many westerland soldiers in the riverlands?

What is the river army of Riverrun doing?

Earl Beric, Raymond Darry, the red monk Thoros and others, who were in the lead, huddled together back to back.

"Accept your fate!" Young Beric sighed.

The dense scarlet robes made people despair.

This time, Lord Tywin's soldiers did not bother to disguise themselves.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard:

"Brother Darry, brother Marco, hold on, I am Arthur."

The owner of the voice used the dazzling golden Guandao to chop a Westerland soldier into two pieces.

Then, in the eyes of the law enforcement team, Arthur rode his horse and rushed towards the invincible Mountain.

Although the speed was slow, due to the huge size of Red Hare, it knocked the Mountain back several steps after chopping people.

Arthur put the Guandao behind him, turned over and got off the horse, then he swung the giant hammer and hit the Mountain who had no time to react.

It hit Clegane's left foot.

"Ah!" The Mountain shouted angrily, the pain made him extremely angry, so the giant sword chopped towards Arthur who was bent over.

Arthur ignored the sword and continued to swing the giant hammer, hitting the Mountain's left leg desperately.

The Mountain felt pain and hurriedly pulled his foot back.

But this made him lose his balance and staggered back several steps.

Arthur chased after him, only focusing on the Mountain's calves and feet.

In terms of height, he was more than half a head shorter than the Mountain, so he was at a disadvantage in normal fighting, but after Arthur bent down and hit the Mountain's feet, the Mountain was at a disadvantage.

After all, he was too tall and slow.

After hitting the Mountain's thick iron boots and calf armor seven or eight times, Clegane finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

And Arthur only paid the price of seven or eight dents on his plate armor.

With the blessing of the giant hammer, the two finally didn't have to scrape.

There was no one around the Mountain to hold Arthur back, so Arthur took two steps to the back of the Mountain and began to hit his square helmet.

Although the square helmet was large, it was still a little fragile compared to the solid giant hammer.

In just two or three breaths when the Mountain tried to stand up, a large part of it had already been dented.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

After being hit on the head five or six times, Clegane still didn't stand up.

The continuous heavy blows to his head almost made him lose control of his body.

He roared in a fuzzy voice, but couldn't fight back, and slowly fell down.

Arthur learned his lesson and hit the square helmet of the Mountain more than a dozen times, smashing the square helmet flat, and the pale brain and red blood flowed out.

After confirming that he was really dead, the Lord of the Red Mill ended the battle with the Mountain and turned to support the members of the law enforcement team.
