Chapter 455: The Family is Established, and the Legend Begins

Robb looked at the closed city gate, his face a little gloomy.

He did bring people to support, but he didn't expect that Tywin's army had already withdrawn, which also surprised him, and he didn't know why, so he wanted to go into the city to talk to Li Lingyi. But I didn't expect the latter to have no intention of opening the door, or saying that it was okay to come in, but it could only be Robb himself, and it was impossible for the five thousand troops under his command to be put in.

In this way, Robb was also a little angry, and he didn't want to go into the city to talk to Li Lingyi, so he just asked people to pass the word and let Arya go back with him.

When it reached the castle, Li Ling also called Arya over when he heard about it, and told her that Robb was here and asked her to go back with him.

"I don't want to go back!" said Arya, pouting, "It's boring and not fun to go back." ”

"If you don't go back, Robb definitely doesn't want to. Li Lingyi persuaded, reached out and touched her hair, "Be obedient, go back first." ”

In fact, Li Lingyi also likes to let the little wolf girl stay by his side, after all, the little girl is still quite cute. It's just that if you keep her here, maybe Robb will think that he is suspected of taking her hostage, which will not be good.

Moreover, although the current crisis is resolved, when Tywin cleans up Stannis, he will definitely come back to deal with him, and then it will definitely be full of crises again.

Of course, Robb's side is not very safe, especially the red wedding, Li Lingyi has not received the news yet, but he is already making preparations, once Old Frey sends out an invitation, then he must also make plans.

“…… All right. Arya nodded helplessly, and said with some reluctance: "Then Teacher Ivey, I'll come back to you to play in a few days." ”

"Yes. ”

Sending Arya outside the city, Robb didn't say much to Li Ling, and directly led the army back, and Li Ling's subordinates were a little dissatisfied.

"It seems that Robb has an opinion on us?" Soros said disdainfully: "Stingy, isn't it just not to let his army enter the city!"

"Hehe, I guess I think we don't give face and respect. Gavin smiled and said, "But I personally still think that Lord Ivey's decision is very right, so many people enter the city, in case something goes wrong, I'm afraid it's not our decision." ”

Berry listened to the words of the two of them, nodded and said seriously: "Their support is not reliable in the first place, it was nearly three hours late, if Tywin did not withdraw his troops, I am afraid that by the time they arrive, we will be completely wiped out." ”

"Alright. Li Lingyi interrupted the speculation of several people, "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, you should make post-war arrangements immediately, now that there is no Lannister checks and balances, we must develop our forces in the shortest possible time!"

Several people understood when they heard this, and then retreated. And Li Lingyi didn't want to think much about Robb, he believed that Robb was sincerely supportive, but he didn't have enough heart but not enough strength.

After all, Robb honestly can't completely control his army, and all aspects are checked and balanced by his vassals, which is partly because he is too young and has a slight problem in serving the public.

The next thing was all kinds of post-war matters, and after sorting out the casualties, a total of 348 people were killed and more than 200 wounded. The wounded were all being treated, while the deceased Li Lingyi was ordered to be buried, and the four characters of combat heroes were written on everyone's stele. The simple four words contain great honor, and most people can't help but cry when they see these four words.

The burial work went on for two full days, and on the second night, Li Lingyi led the whole city for three minutes of silence, and then gave a passionate speech.

“…… Those who lie here today, as the monument says, are all fighting heroes! They are fighting for freedom! Fighting for faith! This is exactly our spirit, fearless of power, bravely resisting!"

Next.

In the conference room, more than a dozen generals all gathered together, Li Lingyi sat on the upper seat, and Soros and Bane sat on either side of him.

After this great victory, the establishment of a family is also officially on the agenda, after all, without the name of the family now, the entire Harrenhal soldiers can only be called "outcasts" by others, which is obviously not conducive to long-term development and recruitment of new people.

So Li Lingyi decided to officially establish the family, and as for the name, to everyone's surprise, he didn't even use his own name.

The Stark family, the Lannister family, the Tully family, the Frey family, etc., all use the patriarch's surname as the family name, but Li Lingyi does not use "Crane" as the family name, because he understands that this kind of family has powerful drawbacks.

Family-style means hereditary. This is very useful for those big families who have a history of hundreds of years, but for Li Lingyi, it will not work.

He is only seventeen years old this year, and if he starts a family family, how many people will follow him? Very little, because his family has no background, he is just a commoner himself.

But what if it is not hereditary, but a more modern "capable person lives in it". This also means that once Li Lingyi dies, the next patriarch will be elected by everyone and not inherited by Li Lingyi's children.

In this way, there will naturally be more people who are willing to join the family, because they have a goal to strive for, as long as they work hard, maybe one day they can become the patriarch, isn't this inspiring enough?

As for the generals, although they were a little opposed and rejected at first, they all accepted it under Li Lingyi's explanation, and everyone discussed for an hour, and finally decided on the name of the family.

"No flags. ”

On the one hand, the Flagless Family means that it was originally formed by members of the Flagless Brotherhood, and on the other hand, it also means that the family does not fight for any king, but for the people!

The family emblem did not choose animals, but chose a sword and a hoe crossed together, implying that this was a family formed by poor peasants, and that it was also meant to fight for the interests of the common people.

As for the ethnic language, after discussing it, everyone also came up with a rather domineering answer.

"Win all battles!"

It's a bit arrogant to say, but until now, it is true that this army has never been defeated, whether the enemy is Clegane or Lannister, and it has been victorious.

So, the family was officially established, and the people of the city celebrated with a carnival that night, and everyone proudly tied the family coat of arms to their clothes, drank wine and meat, and swore allegiance.

Two days later, the name of the Flagless family spread throughout Westeros, everyone was shocked, and Ivy Crane's name became the bard's favorite name, and a new legend was about to begin.
