"One, two, three, up!"

"One, two, three, up!"

In Harrenhal, everyone is working together to demolish some useless buildings in the fort, which are all demolished by Li Ling's order.

At that time, the black-hearted Heron of the Hall family spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and it took forty years to build this Harrenburg. It is said to be a big project, but too many of the buildings are better than appearance, not practical at all, but take up a lot of space.

So now Li Ling ordered all these things to be demolished and replaced with some blacksmith shops, cloth shops, inns, taverns and other living facilities. Blackheart Heron makes Harrenhal a private domain, but Li Lingyi is different, he wants to make this castle one of the most important cities on the continent!

If you want to expand the influence of a city, trade must be carried out, Harrenhal occupies an advantageous location, located at the intersection of the north and south, although it is inferior to the Twin Rivers of the Frey family in terms of transportation, but in terms of the size and development potential of the city, the Twin Rivers City is simply incomparable.

So now Li Lingyi is also taking precautions, he will not be a backer and stay here. Because this represents a dead end, he must continue to develop, increase his military strength, and when he can compete with the Lannisters head-on, then he can live a more stable life.

And in the past few days, many displaced people from all over the world have heard about it, hoping to join Li Lingyi and join the Flagless Family. And for these people, Li Lingyi naturally did not refuse to come, and accepted them all. There must be spies, and it is estimated that there are all forces, but he is not too worried.

The composition of his army was originally different from the others, and they did not communicate with each other, except for the high-ranking generals, no one else knew how many people there were in the army. It is very difficult for a spy to find out. Moreover, there is a monitor in each squad, and as long as the spy shows a trace of his feet, he will be found and caught immediately.

In this way, there are almost tens of thousands of people in the entire city, and the pressure on food has become huge, but there is good land nearby, so Li Lingyi has made a unified plan and let his men go down to farm. This is also a characteristic of the army under his command, who is a warrior when he puts on his armor and a peasant when he takes off his armor.

Obviously, this is not a good thing, the real elite soldiers and strong generals are the product of strict training day after day, if you don't train in peacetime and keep farming, and wait until the war comes to sharpen your guns, then the frontal battlefield will never be the opponent of the Lannisters.

At this point, not only Li Lingyi, but also Berry and Soros all put forward suggestions, so within a few days, the three of them selected a total of 1,000 people from a population of tens of thousands to form an independent force, called the "Flagless Army".

The Bannerless Army is somewhat similar to King's Landing's Royal City Guards, consisting of elite soldiers and loyal to the king alone.

However, compared with the Wangcheng Guard, the flagless army established by Li Lingyi is more face-to-face and stricter, ability is second to loyalty, and loyalty is the most important, and there must be a positive spirit, not afraid of hardship. Therefore, only 1,000 people were selected out of a population of 10,000, basically one out of ten.

The soldiers who enter the flagless army no longer have to do labor, and the only task every day is military training, and they have to learn formation, fighting, charging formation, etc., which are taught by Soros and Berry. And every other week there is a test, and soldiers who fail the test can be expelled from the flagless army.

Although there are only 1,000 people, Li Lingyi is quite optimistic, as long as he is given a certain amount of time for them to grow up, then he will have an army that can be pulled to the plain to fight, instead of only cowering in the castle and relying on the city wall to defend passively.

During this time, the situation on the mainland also changed dramatically, and Tywin's army finally rushed back to King's Landing at the last moment, defeated the Stannis army, and successfully defended King's Landing. And Li Lingyi also received the news that Theon took the soldiers of the Iron Islands and secretly captured Winterfell.

When the news reached Riverrun, Robb was furious, and he was already worried about how to defeat the Lannisters in the south, because after Lan Li's death, his army fell apart, and many of them surrendered and joined Tywin, so that the latter had an army of forty or fifty thousand at one point, so that he could defeat Stannis at the Blackwater. But he didn't expect that his most trusted good brother would take advantage of the fire to rob him at such a critical moment and directly take his nest!

Now he was in a dilemma, so he could only decide to return to the north with the army, and prepare to take Winterfell back first.

Li Lingyi did not agree with this decision. Because now old Frey has already moved on Robb with murderous intentions. Obviously, now that the Lannister family is powerful, and seeing that the five kings of the Five Kings Rebellion have died and been defeated, and the Iron Throne is almost stable, then Stark will definitely not be able to.

Therefore, in order to please the Lannisters, Old Frey has decided to exterminate Robb and his northern army, so that if the North is unable to rebel in the short term, he will not be attacked by the Lannisters, but will be rewarded.

As for the humiliation such as Robb's divorce, it is just a fuse or an excuse. Even if Robb does not withdraw from the marriage, I am afraid that old Robb will not hesitate to give up a daughter for his own safety, and he will still do it at the banquet.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Li Lingyi immediately sent a letter to Robb, hoping to meet him once.

……

"Ivy Crane—" Robb looked up at his mother, Catherine, as he looked at the letter in his hand. The latter wondered, "Why, what did he write in the letter?"

"He wanted to meet me. Robb said as he handed the note to Catherine, whose expression changed slightly, "He said he was going to discuss things about the Frey family, what could it be?"

Robb shook his head, "I don't know. He turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly laughed, "He has been the most famous person on the continent recently, as a civilian, he established the Flagless Family in this kind of war, and wiped out thousands of Lannisters, which is really powerful." ”

“……”

Catherine also sighed in her heart at this time, she didn't expect that young man to be so bold, and it was not something anyone could do to establish a family, but the latter not only did it, but also had his own territory, and repelled the Lannister army, which was indeed very powerful.

However, she also knew that the incident of being locked out last time made Robb very dissatisfied with Li Lingyi, but she vaguely felt that the other party had something important to say, so she also persuaded: "Robb, I think it would be better for you to meet each other." ”

"I know, Mother. Robb nodded, "I'm going to write back to him and ask him to come to Riverrun." If he doesn't want to, doesn't dare to come, then forget it. ”
