Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

"The current war situation is really terrible!" Wendel said in a low voice.

A camp less than twenty miles away from Harrenhal...

Chapter 210: Battle meeting, be obedient

"Robb was captured by the 'Kingslayer'?"

Domeric asked expressionlessly, his tone as cold as ice.

"Yes, my lord."

Eddard Karstark's voice was slightly hoarse from traveling a long distance.

On the chest of his torn sleeveless robe, dried blood stains covered the sunburst crest of House Karstark.

He is the second son of old Karstark, and the name "Edd" was given in memory of Lord Eddard.

Domeric took a sip of wine and said nothing.

Before that, he had received news of the defeat of his father, Earl Luce, in the "Battle of the Green Fork."

In the plot, Lord Roose attacked Tywin's camp at night and returned defeated.

But the current situation is that Tywin attacks the northern army camp at night.

This time, Count Luce suffered an even worse defeat!

The defeat of Earl Roose is indeed excusable. After all, Tywin's elite troops are more than 01:30 points stronger than the northern infantry without war horses.

But Robb Stark's disastrous defeat at Riverrun surprised Domeric.

Domeric thought about the "regicide" and wondered in his heart.

Could it be that Jaime Lannister awakened early due to a series of blows such as "broken hand" and "sister loss"?

In the plot, Robb captured Jaime in the "Battle of the Whispering Forest", and then launched the "Battle of the Encampment", annihilating the Lannister army under Riverrun City in one fell swoop.

But the actual situation has undergone a shocking reversal!

Instead of defeating the "Kingslayer", Robb got into the opponent's trap and was defeated and captured. Most of the 6000 elite cavalry composed of the elites of the North and the remnants of the Riverlands suffered heavy losses, and only half of them escaped. .

The rest were either killed in battle or captured by the Lannister!

…………

Domeric had been planning carefully for a long time for this "War of the Five Kings".

Seeing a great situation, it suddenly felt like a roller coaster, and the situation took a turn for the worse!

It feels like Tang Monk finally met Tathagata Buddha after going through 81 hardships.

As a result, a blood bar appeared on Buddha's head!

…………

In the spacious thick canvas tent, only the firewood in the stove crackled.

Eddard Karstark recounts the battle.

"My lords, we have been ambushed!"

Eddard Karstark said with a sad face, as if he didn't want to recall the tragic scene:

"The Lannister camp is surrounded by sharpened wooden fences, and only a few old and weak men, peasants, and mercenaries are left inside.

Our cavalry jumped over the ditch and rushed into the camp with swords and torches in hand.

But those are just bait!

Wait until we wake up.

The Lannister army has surrounded them from all sides.

There are torches and swords everywhere, and we can only be forced to fight..."

"Where are your scouts?"

Sir Lyn Corbray of Heartland City held a wine glass in one hand and waved the "Lady of Empty Silence" in the other hand. The firelight covered his skin with a layer of eerie orange, casting deep shadows at the bottom of his eye sockets, " Could it be that they didn't see anything? Didn't they give you any warning?"

Eddard Karstark, who was covered in blood, shook his head, "Greatjon promised us that his scouts did not find anything unusual about the enemy..."

"Can't find anything, which means he doesn't need his eyes!"

Sir Lyn announced loudly, "Their eyes should be dug out and given to the replacement scout, telling him that he hopes four eyes can see better than two... If he still can't, then the next person will." Six eyes."

"Now is not the time to pursue this!"

Count Yohn Royce of Runestone City came out to smooth things over, "Didn't the defenders of Riverrun City come out to support you?"

"The trebuchets on the city wall launched a bombardment, but unfortunately the distance was too far. Lord 'Blackfish' Brynden led a group of soldiers and prepared to come out to support us. But halfway through, he was forced back to the city by the Lannister men .”

Eddard Karstark continued: "When we realize this is a trap, prepare to retreat.

The Lannister heavy cavalry formed two columns and fought out from the west.

The pikemen formed a shield wall, blocking our retreat.

Thousands of archers lined up in a tight formation, throwing down showers of arrows one after another...

Lord Robb's wolf killed four living men and killed a dozen horses, but in the end he was beheaded by the enemy!

Later, my father and Great Jon protected Lady Catelyn and escaped, and sent me to deliver the message. The remaining troops from the North are now coming here..."

"The gods are not fair!"

Jon Wright cursed, feeling outraged at what had happened to his brother Robb Stark.

"Those damn Lannister guys!"

Wendel's tone was not only surprised, but also full of anger.

……

For a moment, the lords in the tent spat at the gods.

Domeric crossed his fingers and half-covered his face, making it impossible to see through his expression, only revealing his sharp eyes like a cold blade.

His face remained motionless, like a mask.

"This is terrible!"

Earl Beneda, who came from Hongsong City in the Vale and had a pear-shaped belly, couldn't help but sigh, "Lord Robb was captured, and the elite of the North were defeated again... It's a disaster!"

Jon Wright said: "Count Beneda, we are all grateful to you for pointing out the obvious facts, but the top priority right now is, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? The armies in the north were either killed, captured or fled, and the Tully family's Riverrun is still under siege. Our allies no longer exist!"

Lord Holden Redford of the Red Base, who was short in stature and had a neatly trimmed gray beard, said in an extremely pessimistic tone: "Once the 'Kingslayers' capture Riverrun, they can even come to support Tywin with great arrogance. Who can How can we stop them?

My lords, we have been defeated and we should seek peace immediately. "

"Begging for peace?"

Sir Lynn Corbray swayed the wine glass thoughtfully, drank it all in one gulp, then threw the empty glass to the ground, breaking it into thousands of pieces, and cursed loudly:

“Earl Horton, this is the result of seeking peace.

We have come all this way to serve King Joffrey, and even more so to steal the gold from Casterly Rock.

We haven't fought a few battles yet, but it's harder to make peace with Tywin Lannister than to hold wine in this broken cup under the ground.

Whoever dares to say such things again, I promise I will kill him! "

The Corbray family in Hearts City is almost bankrupt, and there are even wealthy businessmen from Seagull Town who want to tarnish their noble blood and try to marry their commoner daughters to them.

The head of the Corbray family and Sir Lyn's brother was hesitant about the generous dowry.

The reason why Sir Lynn is so fierce in fighting is that he wants to steal enough gold from Casterly Rock to alleviate the family's crisis.

Now someone is actually asking for peace. It's like slashing his neck with a knife. Sir Lynn, can you not be impatient?

"Ser Lyn is right. The victory or defeat of two battles cannot determine the success or failure of the entire war." Lord Yohn said in a solemn tone, "We are far from defeated. I am very happy to cooperate with the Lannister father and son. Compete in person on the battlefield."

"Perhaps they will agree to a temporary truce so that the two sides can exchange hostages. Lord Domeric has the little devil Tyrion in his hands, which can be used in exchange for Lord Robb."

Count Beneda then proposed.

Ser Lyn snorted contemptuously, "Tywin is crazy to trade Robb Stark's life for a little devil!"

"Then redeem Lord Robb, no matter how much it costs." Earl Horton said.

Ser Lyn couldn't help rolling his eyes, "There are gold mines all over Casterly Rock. Even Lord Tywin's shit contains gold. Do you think the Lannister will be short of money?"

"If we ask for peace, they will look down upon us."

"In my opinion, we should march immediately, capture Harrenhal, and then rescue Riverrun."

…………

At this time, Domilik, who had been silent, stood up suddenly.

"My lords!"

Domeric repeated, his voice cutting through the noise like a sword cutting through grease.

"You should step back first. We will discuss this matter later."

All the nobles looked at the king's hand in front of them and did not dare to say anything.

During this period, Domeric's determination, perseverance, fortitude, and various ruthless methods have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

No one dares to challenge his majesty easily.

The nobles had no choice but to bow their heads and obey the order, so they stood up one after another, bowed and left.

Domeric added, "Earl Yoon Royce, Earl Wendel, and Viscount Jon Wright stay."

……

"The current situation is worse than you know. News came from the south in King's Landing: half a month ago, just as we were on our way to the expedition.

Renly Baratheon marries Margaery Tyrell in Highgarden and becomes king.

He is also the second person to 'proclaim himself king' after Stannis.

Unlike the weak Duke of Dragonstone, the Tyrell family and the nobles of the Reach have knelt down and sworn allegiance to him. "
