King of The Wall

Chapter 99 Crossroads Reunion
Igor and Earl Buckwell have reached a consensus and will no longer continue to scoop up Jarman Leaving the Wall, talking a lot, and walking another section of the road, they arrived at the quarters of the Antlers army, among dozens of tents with antlers painted on blue and white stripes.

Old Earl arranged one of the dozens of tents next to the lord's tent to live in Igor and his little valet. In a state of war, he was able to occupy a place for his temporary presence, which is also a pretty good VIP treatment. .

 …

The army was on time the next morning, and Robert, the king and commander, was quite competent in terms of “punctuality” and “not sleeping in”. The Crownlands army, which was endless when gathered together and formed a group, was even more grandiose when it was dispatched to form a long line to the north. The head of the team could not be seen forward, and the tail could not be seen when looking back. Igor was mixed in his armor. In the bright Antlers army, the black clothed, known for its low-keyness, is dazzling. Soon...it is known that there is a Night's Watch in the army.

"Waiting to buy our captives at a low price so we can see Wall."

The soldiers didn't know that Igor was forced to come, so jokingly Evaluating his existence, it is a bit like taking "Night's Watch with the army" as a mascot - this is the first time in the thousands of years of Westeros history that such a strange guy has appeared.

(If even the neutral Night's Watch "bets itself to win", this trip will be easy to win.) Most soldiers hold this idea, even the superstitious saying that "black generally represents ominous" No one mentioned it either.

 …

Igor accompanied Earl Buckwell on the march, listening to him tell stories about the time of the Targaryen War, and soon remembered a lot for supporting Targaryen As a result, some core members were forced to wear black clothed families.

At first, Igor thought: If oneself pretends to have a channel to recruit people from Wall for these families, the premise is that the business started by the Night's Watch logistics department in King's Landing must develop well, can it attract more investment and customers? Come? But soon, he realized that it was unlikely. The war of the stalkers had ended for more than ten years. Most of the families who were on the wrong team had already recovered from the punishment. Brothers replaced, only the Buckwell family, because the long house has not been able to reproduce male offspring, will they have the idea of fishing out their sons for Night's Watch - this is an example, not universal.

The idea of starting a "hunting" business fell through, but the plan to make friends with the nobles who fought in the war remained unchanged. The troops of the Crownlands marched for about ten consecutive days. After passing several Crownlands villages and towns including Sow's Horn along the way, the first Riverlands rendezvous was met in the town of Harroway count.

＊＊＊

Although this ferry town is named Harroway count, in fact this family has long since perished. When the Harroway family was strong, it was once named Harrenhal. The builder of the largest castle in Westeros also failed to escape the curse of the "dead family" and successfully became one of the families that "owned Harrenhal and then perished".

A thousand Riverlands troops guarded the crossing here in case the Vale rebels came to harass the king's crossing, but they were of no use. And a day later arrived at the Inn at the Crossroads, which is owned by Ice and Fire.

This three-layer high building is also considered a Legendary. In the original plot, Catelyn and Roderick met Tyrion who returned from The Wall and arrested him; after Hound escaped from King's Landing When I took Arya north, I met and killed a few of Gregor Clegane's men here; in the follow-up plot, the beauty Brienne also passed here and did something here...

Because of Igor's If you take the initiative to intervene, there is a high probability that these plots will not happen again, but this does not affect the status of this Inn Westeros "first right and wrong place" - this is not because of who's bad taste, but because of its special geographical location: The intersection of two important traffic arteries, Kingsroad running north-south and River Road running east-west. Whether you're traveling to or from Winterfell and King's Landing, or planning to travel from Riverrun to Vale, you're bound to pass by this place.

So, this time it became the meeting place of the Crownlands army and the Riverlands army again.

Riverlands joined Robert's army of nearly 20,000 here, led by Edmure Tully, son of Hoster Tully, heir to Duke Riverrun and one of the founders of the Osprey League. Arryn Lady, who was besieged in Eyrie by the rebels of the "League of the Righteous", is the daughter of the Tully family and the elder sister of Edmure. Can you not care about saving her own family?

Riverlands and Reach are two special places in the Seven Kingdoms - although Fiefdom is the second most fertile, since the two ruling families were not local kings before the conquest of Aegon, they are In Duke's position, he has a serious lack of control over oneself's territory - on the surface, he is powerful, but in fact he does not have the confidence and cohesion to compete for Iron Throne or rebel king. It is also fortunate that Robert is still alive, so everyone will give face to the legal emperor, so that the Tully family can easily gather such a large army.

Igor noticed that even the Frey family, who made the appalling Red Wedding in the future, and who always listened to the Tully family because of their strength, also flew their flags in the Riverlands coalition - Robert Baratheon The deterrence and control of Seven Kingdoms, I am afraid that it is especially above oneself's previous expectations.

After the two armies merged, the number of coalition troops instantly soared to more than 30,000. Igor was in the army, and he knew that this was the real data, which only counted combatants and did not include logistics. In a backward feudal era, this is already an amazing super army ... and this is only the last two of the other six countries except Vale.

The Crownlands and Riverlands coalition did not stop here, but continued their march eastwards, and Igor, who passed through here for the second time, was not able to enjoy the bed of this famous hotel.

......

After two weeks from King's Landing, the Crownlands-Riverlands coalition finally entered Vale territory, the army marched until naked eye could see Vale of Arryn The narrow entrance only stopped. At Robert's command, the left and right branches were divided into two branches. They were stationed at the entrance of the valley several li apart. settle down.

More than 30,000 troops are fully capable of attacking Bloody Gate, and the siege facilities and equipment have also arrived closely from behind, but Robert is not going to act first - this time he will not only fight, but also wait six All the Chinese and horses are ready to fight: The Balon Reaver War is a distant past, and the Balon Greyjoy rebellion has been quelled for ten years. It seems that the Seven Kingdoms have gradually begun to lose their awe of the oneself. This time, he wants to remind these Man, oneself is a king, and a very capable king.

Igor guessed what the king was thinking and was amused by it. Prime Minister Eddard Stark stayed in King's Landing and continued to manage the Seven Kingdoms. Robert only brought four Kingsguards with him. The remaining three, including James, stayed in King's Landing to "protect" Queen Cersei and other members of the royal family. In the Vale civil unrest, House Lannister's twin siblings may be the biggest winners.

As the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, his wife is having fun stealing people at home, but oneself is still sitting in front of Vale's Bloody Gate and waiting for the audience to act cool - the most ridiculous thing is, acting cool Most of the money needed to be borrowed. This kind of forceful behavior made Igor unable to help but think of a certain country that was about to host the Winter Olympics but was severely underfunded.

Countless facts have long proven that acting cool needs a strong backing, and it usually doesn't end well if it's swollen and fatty.

Now, the chief logistics officer can only secretly pray that this war against rebellion will not be too ugly, at least not to take oneself into it.
