Chapter 0278 Killing Three Birds with One Stone

"The Lannisters will be completely destroyed. Edmuthulli said.

The rope wrapped around Edmustury's shoulders, went around the two arms, pulled back, pulled Edmus's two arms behind him, tightened, and then wrapped the two wrists, merging the two hands together, and tying them tightly.

Jaime, who had walked to the door of the tent, turned back: "Edmure, I'm afraid the Tully family will be slaughtered first." ”

"You can't take Riverrun, monarch killer. Edmuthully said coldly.

"You think two rivers will hold the Westlanders at bay?" Jaime laughed, "what do you think he would do if I pushed you to the river and sacrificed your head to Duke Horst?"

"He'll ask you to hurry up, Kingkiller. Edmus spat on the ground, "The Vale and the North will rise up and crush every corner of the West, the people and nobles of the Riverlands will make a comeback, and the army of House Baratheon will take King's Landing and hang Cersei." The West will be defeated, you know that very well. ”

"Then keep your eyes open and see how I take Riverrun. Also, if you dare to say another word, I'll cut your tongue first, and this warning is free, Lord Edmure. Jaime laughed, his eyes glinting.

Edmuthully opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

Jaime and his attendants burst out laughing.

Edmure heard the sound of Jaime on his horse, the voice of a loud shout, the sound of an order to attack, and a man's voice shouted: "Stop him, he is the Earl of Taytos Brightwood, don't let him break out of the siege." As if it were a heartbeat, all sorts of voices poured into Edmure's ears, and he was escorted out of the tent with the dagger of one of the guards against his back.

Everywhere there were voices of people and firelight, and a tent of marching troops by the Red Fork River had burned into a fiery dragon, and many people in the river were swimming desperately, and the Lannister Red Robe archers on the shore were lined up to shoot arrows into the river.

One group fled along the banks of the Red Fork, and Jaime Lannister chased after him with two other teams.

The smell of blood filled the air, and the screams and begs for mercy, the sound of the wind, the fire, and the clashing of swords resounded, overpowering the sound of the rolling water of the Red Fork River.

Earl Taytos Blackwood had suggested to Edmus that his forces should be concentrated under the Golden Tooth City instead of being scattered across the border, but Edmus did not take Taytos's suggestion, and if they were not fully intercepted, wouldn't the Westlands be able to enter the Riverlands at will and detour behind them to encircle them?

The dispersed forces were indeed weak, and they were routed by the westerners. Jaime carried out a sneak attack, much to Edmure's disdain. Edmure was distressed by the corpses of the soldiers of the Riverlands everywhere, and his only consolation was that the troops stationed in the other villages had been preserved. They will be the spark for counterattacking the enemy.

Edmure was escorted to a group of men, and when he approached, he saw that it was Tywin Lannister. The old dog himself came, so it's no wonder that Jaime suddenly launched a surprise attack.

Duke Tywin stared coldly at Edmure, in his eyes, Edmure was a child who didn't understand anything, pitifully naΓ―ve.

"Edmure, how did you come up with the idea of spreading your forces to protect all the border villages?" Tywin said in a rare voice. Tywin was to speak out against his captives, unless he was trying someone of his own capacity. His language is usually his gaze.

Edmure's stupidity made Lord Tywin eager to know what the young man's mind was thinking.

"They were the children of the Banu Tully. ”

"You really have Ed's love for the people. Tywin said softly, sarcastic in his tone.

"The Tully and Stark families will make you regret it, I swear with my life. Lord Tywin, you let Lord Eddard go, and now it's time for you to retreat. ”

Tywin's turquoise eyes with gold threads looked at Edmure for a moment, and he waved his hand, and Edmure was pushed away and walked to the prisoner cart. The prison cart was long and lined with knights and knights of the Riverlands. Some were covered in blood and looked like they were not lightly injured.

Edmure was violently pushed into the prisoner car, and as the iron chains were wrapped around the door, he saw Tywin's side, Count Gavin, Westerling, and his daughter Elenia was still in Riverrun, and was deeply loved by Lord Horst. It's just that Duke Horst often mistook her, and he often called Elenia Catelyn or Lysa.

Edmure didn't see Reynard Westerling, presumably the boy was chasing down the fleeing soldiers in the Riverlands. On the battlefield, there was no Demon Mountain and his Clegane cavalry team.

Under the watchful eye of Edmure and the nobles of the Riverlands, Lord Tywin led a large army to cross the river.

The West's army crossed the Red Fork before dawn, and Duke Tywin divided his army into two routes, with 12,000 men assigned to Jaime Lannister to besiege Riverrun, while he marched east with 20,000 troops to the Cross Inn on the Trident River.

The main force of the Riverlands had been completely defeated by Edmure, most of the generals and knights had been captured, and a small number of generals and knights had escaped under the leadership of Taythos Brewood, and the number of troops scattered throughout the villages was very small, and the total number was only a few thousand, and now they were frightened birds. They had neither the superiority in personnel nor the unified command of the generals in Jaime's forces, and were already a scattered rabble.

If Edmure's sister Rysa Tully sent a large army from the Vale to reinforce the Riverlands, it would be very detrimental to the situation in the west, and the road to the Valelands would have to be blocked, and the Cross Inn of the Trident River would be the best place for the army to be garrisoned, and it could be attacked and defended. If the northern army moves south and goes north along the Green Fork River, it can engage the other side. Once King's Landing changes, it is also the closest place to come to King's Landing.

The Cross Inn of the Trident River is a very important military strategic place, occupying the Cross Inn will hold the throat of the Valley Army, which is also the only way for the Valley Army to come out, and it can also meet the southward Northern Army, and it is also very convenient to go south along the King's Road to enter the King's Land, and gallop to the aid of King's Landing, killing three birds with one stone.

Behind the Cross Inn there is Harrenhal in the Riverlands, which is the territory of the Lady of the Cross, but Tywin is not at all worried that the Rivermen will attack his army from behind, and the Magic Mountain will suddenly appear and easily take Harrenhal and pull out the nail behind the Cross Inn.

Chapter 0278-2 Vanguard Army Blood Drama Troupe

on King's Road.

The Warriors, known to King's Landing as the Bloody Troupe, are on the march.

They were employed by the Magic Mountain, and the team of three hundred people is now part of the Magic Mountain Legion. They were half a day ahead of the Klegon cavalry and the Klegon infantry, and the regimental commander Wag was appointed as the vanguard by the Magic Mountain.

Whoever gives more money and promises more benefits, the regiment commander Wagcht will die for whomever he wants.

Wag is a tall, lanky Kohor with a thick exotic accent. The mercenary group is known to the King's Landing as the Bloodband due to their cruel behavior and the strange attire of their members (wearing their respective exotic national costumes), and they find the name insulting and disgusting.

Varg, the head of the regiment, had two hobbies, one was to collect coins from all over the world and make them into necklaces, and more coins were inlaid on his chest clothes as decorations.

People of different regions and cultures used different kinds of coins, the most common coins were minted from gold and silver, and some places were minted with iron because of the scarcity of gold and silver. Fascinated by collecting different currencies from around the world, Wag became a collector of coins.

Among his money necklaces and chest charms are the square iron coin of Braavos, the round iron coin with the head of the Iron Helmet, the round gold coin with the square iron tower of the city of Pantos, the elongated oval gold coin with a ** printed on the surface of the coin, and the iron coin of Mill, which is flattened and oval, with a ship printed on the surface.

All of this goes without going into detail. Wag's chest pendant is inlaid with coins from almost all over the world.

In addition to collecting coins with different cultural manifestations and symbols, Wag also had another hobby: chopping feet. He likes to cut off the feet of the person he catches, and then let him find a way to escape, and if he can escape to the specified distance within the allotted hourglass time, the person can save a life.

As a result, Wag and his legion earned a name: the Foot Hunters.

There are several important members under Wag, the first of which is the bachelor Koben. Now Cobain has been transferred by Magic Mountain as an employer.

Bachelor Coben is an indispensable main figure in the Blood Opera Troupe, and because he likes to experiment with living people, he is more cruel than Wag himself, which causes his brothers in the Blood Opera Troupe to smile kindly.

The second important team member is named Shagvi, who loves boys, and after abusing them, he likes to collect boys' roots and wear them around his neck like a necklace.

The third boss of the team is a maniac who dresses himself as a clown, wears a clown hat on his head and wears a clown's red nose on his nose forever, and he likes to giggle and then chop off his opponent's hands and feet in the middle of the laughter. He doesn't like to kill, he only likes to chop off the hands and feet of his enemies.

The fourth leader of the team is a fat man named Zorro, a Dothraki who wields an Arak scimitar. Polivier once killed a Dothraki mercenary on the street selling brown soup, and that guy was Zorro's men.

The banner of the Warrior Regiment fluttered in the wind, and the pattern on the banner was a blood-horned black goat.

The blood-horned black goat is a belief in Waghet, which symbolizes death in the city-state of Kohor.

Wag stared at the huge castle in front of him.

He was amazed by the height and majesty of the castle.

He looked up, and looked up, and looked up again, and only then could he see the shadow of a small trebuchet looming at the top of the castle gate. But the trebuchet above the gate was very large, but because it was so high, it looked small when viewed from the ground.

Shagvi, who was beside him, was just as surprised as he was.

Everyone has heard of Harrenhal's name, but this is the first time you can see it up close.

It's a castle that's too big.

Standing at the gate of the city and looking inside, the thickness of the city wall is even more astonishing, with dozens of murder holes arranged symmetrically on both sides, and the aisle in the middle looks like a street.

There were only two soldiers armed with spears at the gate, they were wearing armor and hanging long swords from their waists, which was very imposing.

Varg ignored the two soldiers who came up to inquire, marveling at the thickness of the wall, at least four times the thickness of the wall of King's Landing.

Legend has it that the castle was built by the Blackheart King of the Riverlands over a period of forty years, with hundreds of thousands of craftsmen. Wag said in amazement to the brothers around him.

"Who are you? This is the castle of the Ha An family, get out of here!" one of the guards shouted impatiently.

Lady Ha An had no heirs, she was old, and the younger generation of the family led the army to Riverrun, and in addition to a few dozen servants, there were twenty family guards in the castle.

Three more family guards rushed out of the doorway, they didn't know who they were, but they were already vigilant.

For fear of startling the snakes, Wag's three hundred brothers did not appear, and they lay in ambush in a small forest next to them, waiting for Wag's order to rush out.

Wag only brought the three leaders of Shagvi, the Joker, and Zorro, and a total of four of them appeared at the gate of Harrenhal, and the originally designed excuse was that the mercenaries passing by asked for a sip of water.

Unfortunately, as soon as they approached Harrenhal, they were struck by the sheer size and majesty of Harrenhal.

Harrenhal Castle was built hundreds of years ago by King Heron of the Riverlands, and more than 10,000 tired craftsmen were buried under the castle to build this miraculous castle. At that time, the entire Three Rivers Valley was the territory of King Heron, and he was also called the 'King of Blackhearts' by the people.

"If you attack the city wall, who will take it?" said the clown.

"Get out of here, or you're welcome. One of the squires roared, drawing his sword menacingly.

Four very strange people, four very strange accents, outfits that have never been seen before, and one of them seems to have a lot of children's male roots around his neck.

Four people who reveal an evil aura.

"We are mercenaries, freeriders, passing through this place, and I don't know if the owner here wants mercenaries. Wag said expectantly. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, a signal to do something.

The plan of passers-by to go in and beg for a glass of water was completely overturned, and Wag decided to go straight to it.

With such a striking castle, it is clear that there are few guards. Where did those troops go? No doubt they were transferred to Riverrun, Riverland, to fight.

What a godsend.

Wag fell in love with the castle at first sight and was willing to pay whatever it would cost him if it could be owned by him.

"I won't want you to be hired. One of the guards said angrily.

"Hurry up, let's go, don't push us to do it. Another guard said.

As he spoke, two more guards appeared at the entrance of the door, holding spears and looking out.

"Lord Knight, you can take a look at my skills first, a golden dragon, and I can die for you. Wag choked on his sword, and the spur kicked the horse, and the horse rushed towards the doorway.

Several of the Harrenhal guards were not on horseback, and they were caught off guard, and their horses rushed at them, and they dodged one after another.

With a flash of cold light, Wag's longsword slashed down, hitting the helmet of one of the guards.

The helmet split in half, and the blade of the sword bit into the head.

Boom!

Shagvi, the Joker, and Fat Zorro showed their weapons together, shouted and charged.
