Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

In the main hall of the Eyrie City, Nestor Royce and his heir Albar Royce raised their heads and looked at Attis Arryn sitting on the weirwood falcon throne.

"Duke," Nestor looked very haggard, "Did you come to us and my son for something important?"

His son Albar only met Duke Attis when the Knights of the Valley gathered to greet him after the Battle of Longbow Hall. Although the Duke often appeared at the Gates of the Moon, he was unlucky and often could not see the lord. He looked a little excited, and looked at Attis Arryn, the young guardian of Arryn Valley, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Attis walked down the platform and said, "Manager Nestor, most of the support for the main road construction in the Erin Valley and the logistics of the army far away from the Blood Gate depend on you. Thank you for your hard work."

Nestor smiled and nodded slightly, "It is my honor and my responsibility to serve the Arryn family, Duke."

"Earl Yohn personally led the cavalry to hold back Tywin's 20,000 Lannister army. Robb Stark and Davon Lannister faced off in the West. With the army of the Vale advancing westward, the defeat of Lannister was inevitable. Far from the truth." Artis informed Nestor and his son of his analysis.

Nestor nodded, "Obviously, Duke Attis." Lannister must lose. This is the consensus of most nobles. More than 10,000 people in the valley joined the war between Stark and Lannister. Wolf Osprey's Alliance, the Lions alone are absolutely unmatched.

"I need to confirm the war at Storm's End, Nestor," Attis said. "There is an important task that needs to be assigned. I need a messenger to go to Storm's End and follow Renly's Reach-Stormland army. In his wars, with Stannis, and then with the Lannister."

"You chose King Renly?" Nestor asked with a slight frown.

Attis was silent for a moment and did not answer directly, "I need an observer to pay attention to the reality of Renly's one hundred thousand army and report to me at any time."

Nestor looked at his son. The construction of the valley was pending and he would never be able to get away. However, the Duke called him and his son over, and his intention could not be more obvious.

Alba was not stupid. He also understood what the Duke wanted to do when he came to him. He immediately said: "Duke Attis, I once accompanied Duke Renly in hunting at Storm's End and King's Landing. I am quite familiar with it." , I think I’m up to the task.”

Nestor looked at Alba in silence. He nodded slightly and looked at Attis to express his attitude.

Attis raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Albar Royce with admiration, and said: "Sir Alba, in the name of the Guardian of the East, I order you to represent the Valley, the Eagle's Nest City, and the The Lin family went to Storm's End to meet King Renly and followed Renly's one hundred thousand army as messengers of the Vale. "

"Yes!" Alba bowed slightly and lowered his head in agreement.

"Stannis is in front! Knights of the Reach!" Loras drew his long sword, chopped down Stannis's bannermen with one sword, and pointed the sword at the fleeing Stannis cavalry in the distance.

Alister Florent had restrained his cavalry earlier and tried to avoid a head-on confrontation with Stannis's cavalry, but before the two sides met, they heard Ser Loras's shout of charging.

He ran forward with the army. The rugged terrain of the hills was undulating. The sound of the Tyrell cavalry charging had faded away when they crossed a mountain. The cavalry phalanx under his hand had more than one hill in front of it. Several hills blocked the front, and the phalanx instantly stayed behind the Tilea cavalry.

Loras was still charging, Allister grabbed the reins of the horse, and Florentine's cavalry phalanx stopped immediately.

"There are hills ahead. If you continue walking, you will get lost." Allister said. He thought of Loras's fearless advance before, and a slight strangeness flashed in his eyes.

Loras handed the spear to the Stannis cavalry running in front, and the flesh and blood was picked out from the back of the Stannis cavalry by the tip of the spear. The cavalry wailed, fell off the horse, and was kicked in the head by the horse. It hit the ground hard, and the red and white satin was exposed on the smashed head and spread on the ground.

"Sir!" The followers around him came rushing towards him, "There is a dense forest ahead, and Stannis's cavalry has plunged into it."

Loras estimated the number of Tilean cavalry around him. Matus Rowan's cavalry followed closely behind him. He slightly measured the size of the dense forest ahead and said to his followers: "The dense forest ahead is not big. , cross carefully, Stannis's army is only five thousand, even if they all set up an ambush here, they can't defeat us, blow the horn and follow me in."

"Woo! Woo! Woo~!" The horn sounded immediately, and the knights from the river bend lined up nervously, scattered slightly, separated gaps, and broke into the dense bush in an orderly manner.

Loras dismounted. The gap in the dense bush was very narrow, and it was too crowded to march on horseback. He put back his spear, tightened the sword in his hand, and said, "Raise your shield."

The Tyrell cavalry behind them also dismounted, drew their swords, held up their shields, and cautiously followed Loras Tyrell as they slowly approached.

Loras choked slightly, beads of sweat gradually accumulated in the palms of his hands, and the silence of the dense bush made him feel very uneasy. This was also the first time that he got rid of the showmanship of the tourney and participated in the battle with real swords and guns, just like the knights around him. , Tyrell's army has not experienced a decent war.

"You're a bitch from the Reach!"

Arrows flew over in scattered directions, falling weakly on the ground where the Reach army was, and stuck into the soil.

"The enemy is in front, kill!" Loras mustered up his courage and jumped over the dirt pile in front. Stannis's panicked archers looked at the Reach soldiers who appeared in shock.

The dense bushes gradually became sparse, the ground gradually opened up, and the sound of running water rang in my ears.

Water source?

"Ser Loras!" shouted the squire, "Stannis's camp!"

Loras chopped down an archer who stayed behind, and a camp suddenly appeared in his sight. Stannis's soldiers stationed here in twos and threes hurriedly picked up their half-helmets and armor, and organized what looked like what was going on. formation.

"Kill!" Loras led the charge, followed closely by Tyrell's knights.

The clarity of the water suddenly appeared in his eyes. Loras's pupils shrank, and a look of joy suddenly overflowed on his face, "This is Stannis's hydration barracks, take it here!"

The soldiers from the south around him were equally ecstatic. They were filled with great energy, picked up their weapons, and rushed towards Stannis's barracks.

The sound of fighting soon gradually disappeared, replaced by the wails of wounded soldiers on the ground.

Loras took a sip of water and sipped it hard. The long-lost coolness flowed through his throat, flowed to his lungs and intestines, and the relief spread throughout his body. "Stannis knows the terrain of the hills of the Stormlands better than we do. Only he knows where the water is." , He must want to wait for work and take the opportunity to attack us. "

The cavalrymen of the Tyrell family brought their horses from the thickets and licked the trickling water.

"Our water replenishment problem has been completely solved. Stannis wants to play tricks on us. It's really ridiculous." Loras smiled and said to the guards on the side.
