Chapter 521: Virtue and Bad Roots

Castle Rock City.

After returning victoriously, Li Lingyi ordered the captives to be "paraded through the streets".

It's not a humiliation, it's just that the civilians of Castle Rock can see that Jaime Lannister is already in prison, and even his family successor has become a prisoner, so there is almost no hope for this family.

This hopeless mentality is what Li Lingyi wants, after all, Kaiyan City still hides the seeds of instability, and some civilians are still plotting to rebel, wanting to drive the flagless army out of the city, but they have been suffering from lack of strength and have not acted.

And now Jaime and the other more than a thousand captives are telling these people with facts that even if they have a certain amount of strength, they are no match for the Bannerless Family. Even Jaime has been caught, will it be useful for the others to resist again? No. So the luck mentality will be dispelled.

Of course, there will definitely be some people who will be dishonest anyway, but these people will only be found out one by one in the continuous penetration of Hawkeye.

As for Jaime and the others, they had no other feelings but shame and anger, and the sense of shame of being paraded through the streets in their own family territory could be imagined, and the civilians watching these soldiers also had mixed feelings.

Many of them are distressed, after all, the relatives of some of the soldiers are among the onlookers and civilians, watching their relatives parade through the streets, which is not a pleasant thing. Even impulsively, it is not necessary to clash with the flagless soldiers who are escorted.

However, Li Lingyi had already thought of this, so he explained to the civilians in advance that these captives would not be killed, and as long as they were willing to surrender, they could be let go home, or they could join the Flagless Army. But if you insist on not surrendering, you will be locked up in a dark dungeon forever.

But if anyone dared to try to rescue the captives, the entire family involved would be implicated and all would be put to death. As a result, the civilians who had been a little moved also gave up, preferring to persuade their children to surrender rather than clash with the soldiers of the Flagless Army.

As a result, the cries of the soldiers' relatives to surrender were constantly heard on both sides of the parade, which made the soldiers fall into a tangled predicament. Surrender, honorable and unjustifiable. If you don't surrender, you may never be able to return home and see your loved ones.

Which is more important depends on your own choice. There are those who give up their relatives for the sake of honor, but there are not many. After all, this seems to be a "virtue", and only a few people have a quality that can be called a virtue, and if everyone has it, then it should be called "bad roots".

Of course, there is no conclusion as to whether it is a virtue to sacrifice one's life for honor or to take care of one's loved ones. After all, the identity of a soldier is not only a soldier, but also the identity of "husband", "son", "father" and so on.

Li Ling didn't want to delve into these things, and after the parade was over, he ordered everyone to be locked in a dungeon and strictly guarded. Then he found Soros and asked him to take some soldiers to defend the port.

"Ivey, you're still worried about the mercenaries across the sea. Soros asked, "Are they really coming?"

"Maybe, you can't afford to be on guard. Li Lingyi said, after all, Long Ma's reply to him was to detain people, not kill them. If she doesn't receive a reply, she may let them go, and when the time comes, these people will come into contact with the mercenary group, and maybe they will have to bring someone here.

And if you want to come, the landing site is definitely Lannisport, which is an excellent port, so it is important to be armed here. If the mercenary group's fleet does come in the future, it will be half of them before they go ashore.

To do this, it is necessary to resort to the help of machinery. So Li Lingyi also asked Soros to write a letter to Berry, who was guarding Harrenhal, and asked him to send a few more catapults, so that in the future, when he saw the fleet, a pile of stones would be smashed over, not to mention a few ships.

After arranging all this, Li Lingyi was ready to leave Kaiyan City. Now that it's ready, it's almost time to take King's Landing, and if you take it, the battle will be over.

Now the Northern Alliance and the private army of the Martell family, a total of 40,000 soldiers, surrounded King's Landing, but they were not in a hurry to attack, because they were all waiting for Li Lingyi to pass.

I have to say that maybe the previous major families still had some opinions about Li Lingyi's leadership of the coalition army, thinking that he was too young, whether it was a person or a family, he had no background, and the command should be handed over to the older people.

But now they must admit that if it were not for Li Lingyi, this trip south could be said to be a sure defeat. Whether it is the crazy human flesh harvester or the sneaky surprise attack that brought down Kaiyan City, this is the existence of turning the tide of the battle, and it is also the basis for victory in sight now.

So even the arrogant Robb now admires Li Lingsheng, even if the enemy who killed his father was close at hand, he resisted the desire to attack the city for revenge, and ordered to wait for Li Ling's arrival before attacking the city.

The soldiers of the Northern Coalition Army understood this move, but the Martell family was a little puzzled, but they couldn't defeat it themselves, so they could only wait together, and at the same time kept writing to Kaiyan City, urging Li Lingyi to hurry up.

Li Lingyi, who received the letter, also ignored it, he never acted because of the urging of others, he must wait for everything to be ready before starting to act, and now is the moment.

Now there are a total of 11,000 soldiers left in Kaiyan City, Li Lingyi has transferred 5,000 men, and the remaining half is in Kaiyan City, and half is in Lannisport, under the command of Soros.

The latter also expressed his displeasure with this, saying that I would also go to King's Landing. However, Li Lingyi also said that he could come over when the catapult arrived and made arrangements, so he was appeased.

In fact, not to mention him, even the soldiers who are now stationed in Harrenhal and Twin Cities can't sit still and want to fight King's Landing together. After all, it was the royal city, the most sacred place, and it would be a glorious thing if I could participate in this battle!

But obviously, Li Lingyi will not agree to this kind of request, everyone has a different division of labor, if they all come to fight King's Landing, who will guard the house? Don't forget that there are still enemies in the north that have not been eradicated, and the Bolton family, the Iron Islands and others are all capable of attacking from the north.

These guys Li Lingyi naturally want to ask for them one by one, but not now.

The army set out in the afternoon and successfully made peace with the Northern Coalition forces encamped outside King's Landing in the evening.

So the last meeting before the general attack was held in a tent under King's Landing, and in addition to the generals of the Northern Alliance, there was also a "Prince of Dorne" from the Martell family.
