521. The Tully Family
The Tully family, the governor of the Riverlands, received another very bad news, a large number of chaotic human beings appeared in the territory, the main body of the Seven Kingdoms Continent is white, black, yellow people are very rare, only the Eastern Continent has their rumors.
These guys who suddenly appeared were very aggressive, like demons who were born to destroy the world of Miรจ, and even the thirty miles of Riverrun City had traces of their arrogance.
"Fake, where did these people come from? I can't find out the origin at all. "The old Horst. Duke Tully's trembling fingers unfolded the small note from the raven, and a flush appeared on his face, which was full of age spots.
Neither his son nor the family samurai were silent, and there was no answer to this question.
"Today I received hundreds of requests for help from noble families, what do you say you should do?" Horst. Tully no longer dwelled on the question of the adventurer's origins, but pointed to a thick stack of letters for help on the wide table.
Although the riverland is rich, there are only more than a hundred noble families in total, and all the rest have sent letters for help, except for those who were breached before.
However, it is no wonder that the location of Hejian Land is the same as Jingzhou in China, in the land of four wars, with fierce northerners in the north, the impoverished Iron Islands in the west, valleys full of mountains in the east, and royal domains in the south.
In this way, the wealthy lords of the plains developed a strong speculative style, developed a sleek character like a merchant, and were indeed not very good in terms of force. Even the Tully family was not very strong, and it was through the marriage to the Stark family that they were able to secure the governorship.
"We are going to send an army to stabilize the danger of these families and eliminate the strange people who suddenly appeared." Horst's son, Edmus. Tully said indignantly, as if he was eager to call the army at once.
But the elders of the family objected, for the simple reason that "no, the enemy's strength is too strong, we should hold on to Riverrun and wait for reinforcements from the north and the royal family." If we send out a large army recklessly, if we fail in the field, we will lose everything. Just think about being able to make more than a hundred noble lords beg for mercy at the same time. The enemy's power is simply unfathomable and not something we can deal with on our own. โ
"They are a family that owes allegiance to us! If we don't save us from death, our reputation will be ruined and we will become a joke in the whole kingdom. โ
Edmu, who grew up in a peaceful era and enjoyed the flattery of the Riverland family. Tully's face flushed. The thought that he was going to become a coward in the mouths of others was very unwilling.
The wrinkles on the Elder's face can kill flies, and he doesn't care too much about reputation: "If our Tuli family loses Riverrun, it will be real stupidity!" If we wait for reinforcements to come and defeat those bandits, maybe our family's territory can be doubled. โ
The question was handed over to the Tully family, who lived in Khorst. In vain, the gray-haired old man sat on a large chair and thought for a moment. Looking out the window again, the destination is Riverrun, where I have lived for decades, and every brick and tile is so familiar.
"I've decided to hold on to Riverrun, waiting for reinforcements from the north and the royal family." Although he was a little old, he was not old and confused, knowing that the two neighbors to the east and west would never be kind enough to send reinforcements.
"Father! This ......"
Horst glared at his son Edmus. Tully glanced at him and swallowed the words in his mouth: "It's decided like this, there will be no more changes!" โ
Although it was decided to defend Riverrun, the atmosphere in the city was still very tense, and the announcement that every citizen must send a man to participate in the defense of the city was the source of the turmoil.
"What. What the hell is going on, the Tully family is actually recruiting us. The last time I saw such a notice was when I overthrew the previous dynasty, is this time going to rebel again? โ
"Fart, the kingdom has only been stable for twenty years, how can there be a rebellion. I heard my cousin, who worked as a cook in the Lord's Mansion, say that the outside of the city was full of bandits who had already breached the castles of dozens of noble lords. โ
"Ah, are the poor men of the Iron Islands coming ashore?"
"They don't have such ability at all, otherwise they would have gone ashore a long time ago, my cousin said that the enemy is the yellow race and the black people from the Eastern Continent. You've never seen anything black. These are the people who have turned this whole river upside down. โ
When these trembling civilians got up to the city wall, they really saw the enemy skipping a hundred meters outside the city, looking at the defensive forces on the city wall with an unbridled gaze.
Among the enemies are not only the rare black skin, but also the upright walking monsters and black bears covered in scale armor. It's a hodgepodge.
Horst. Tully and Edmus. Tully and the elders were astonished when they saw the face of the enemy in the tall arrow tower.
Horst lived for a long time, and his eyesight was excellent: "What are these things, it looks very difficult to deal with, and it may take five of our elite soldiers to deal with a monster in armor." No wonder all those families were wiped out. I see. โ
"Impossible, our soldiers of the Tully family would be so weak?" Edmus. Tully said unconvinced.
One of the elders said slowly, "There is no Raven to send us any more messages, and their last letter for help has already written that the castle has been breached. Now I'm worried that Riverrun won't be able to withstand the attack of these monsters, and I won't be able to wait for the day when reinforcements will arrive. โ
However, what reassured them was that the black and oppressive monster coalition forces outside the city gradually dispersed and moved towards the south, as if they did not intend to attack Riverrun. Seeing this situation, the big stone in the hearts of the Tully family and the soldiers was finally released.

Wendelin was also a member of the army outside the city, and at this moment he lifted the transformation of the dinosaur man and returned to his human form. Transformation is also a drain on the body, and he now feels that his body is sending out a signal of exhaustion, more tired than moving bricks, and his stomach is growling.
He voted to cancel the attack on Riverrun City at the general meeting just now, and when he saw a city surrounded by wide rivers on three sides, he really didn't want to attack such a city. He had already planned that if the vote did not meet his expectations, he would automatically leave the confluence army.
Although he had only gained more than twenty points by breaking through the jazz castle with dozens of other adventurers before, the whole process was very smooth, and there were no casualties. Then he found that in the Riverlands, only Riverrun, a duke-level castle worth 5,000 points, was still intact.
He thought to himself: "This group mission is just a tour, and the points of the castles in the whole continent are added together, and there are not many points that are distributed to the heads of 10,000 adventurers." But it's not bad to be able to see the other world in real life. (To be continued.) )
