The head of the church, Field, fell into the grass on the side of the road, dizzy, and almost fainted. By the time he got up, his head and face were covered in blood, his arm had been bruised, and the bone in his right leg and knee was almost shattered.

There are a lot of rocks on the side of the road!

A spear and two spiked rods were like poisonous snakes, resisting the head of the Field Sect, and in the dark shadows of the grass, there were many shadows, and I don't know how many enemies were in ambush.

A few guards fell beside him, all of them broke their bones and tendons, and before they could get up, they became prisoners.

Suddenly, the torches were lit, and the enemy came out from behind the grass, woods, bushes, and roadside rocks, and surrounded a young general, who spoke the unpure lingua franca of Westeros as if he were from a foreign land.

The Fieldman saw the 'Red Smoke Beast Ice Sword' banner in the Magic Mountain, and the 'Stag Lion' flag of Tomman I!

The young general led by him had a wild face, and at a glance he knew that he was definitely not a noble child. He looks tall, but there is still a subtle hint of childishness on his face, which proves that he is not very old.

The soldiers of the young generals used a variety of weapons, mainly axes, guns, clubs, and hammers, and very few used long swords.

"Miss Yasina Royce, I am Langdengarh, from the Crab Claw Peninsula, and I am waiting for Simon on the orders of my father, Lord Magic Mountain, surrender, as long as you give the order to surrender, I will not kill your soldiers, and this general. The spear in the hand of Langdengar, the adopted son of the Magic Mountain, pointed at Sir Field, whose hands were tied.

"Uncle!" shouted Yasina Royce, her voice full of anxiety and worry. She now knew why she was so restless that she couldn't sleep peacefully tonight, she was sensitive to the ominousness of tonight, but she couldn't know exactly what was going on like a prophet.

Sir Field has lived in Ruernese for over thirty years and has long been a member of the Royce family. From an early age, Yasina Royce called him uncle, not the head of the church or his first name.

"Miss Yasina, I'm sorry. "The head of the field sect endured the pain. Before he could engage the enemy, he had already fallen and was wounded. The wound on the knee of his right leg was scorching, and half of his face was also blurred with blood, which was caused by the violent friction between the wound and the ground when he landed.

Swish!

Langdon's spear landed on Field's chest armor with a clanging sound. The spear moved up and was pointed at Field's throat: "Miss, order your soldiers to lay down their weapons." ”

The barbarism of the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula has spread far and wide, and various formal court books and folk history have been recorded in special pages. Yasina Royce has read many stories and rumors about the savage and bloodthirsty people of the Crab Claw Peninsula.

"Let go...... Weapons!" Yasina Royce made her choice.

There were many enemies, and the horses were even more fierce and tall, and it was the first time that Yasina had seen such a powerful horse. The weapons used by the enemy are also varied, and most of them are heavy weapons rather than the long swords favored by the nobles. Once in the melee, Yasina knew that her hundred soldiers would not be a match for the barbarians.

The enemy formed a half-moon and half-surrounded the team, and they had another way, which was to retreat into the city that was being slaughtered.

Uncle Field is at the hands of this barbarian, and Athena does not want to see the head of the Field Sect killed by a single shot by the teenager. The city was falling, they were surrounded by ambushes, and she had no other choice.

The family guards were silent, their eyes gloomy, and they slowly lowered their weapons. The centurion also lowered his weapons, and the soldiers of the centurion lowered their weapons one after another.

"Swords, swords, shields, all thrown to the ground!" Langdengarh scolded.

The soldier and centurion looked at Yasina, who nodded at them, and with a bang, the centurion's sword fell to the ground.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a general rushed out of the west gate, with a bloody human head on the head of the gun, and many human heads hanging on the saddle, and behind him, a large number of blood-stained soldiers in battle clothes poured out: "Brother Langdon, why don't you kill them!" The general was full of ambition and high spirits, it was Langdengar's cousin, the young patriarch of the Gar tribe of the Crab Claw Peninsula, and the commander-in-chief of the Magic Mountain Navy, Wagnagar.

Wagner actually prefers land warfare, this time attacking the city, he led the core soldiers of the navy to enter from the east gate, slashed and set fire all the way, and killed the west gate. The warriors of the Royce Family Legion, who were in a hurry to fight, were not of a bad breed, fighting to the death in absolutely unfavorable situations, and resisting stubbornly all the way, which is exactly what the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula liked. Wagnergar rushed all the way to the crowded place, this battle was too damn painful, far better than being the commander of the Royal Navy!

The next day, morning.

On the mountain road of Eagle's Nest City, which is hundreds of miles away, Mia Shidong led Sir Michelle Redford, Earl Horton Redford, Earl Jonroyce, Sir Lynn Cobray, Earl Leonor Cobray and others walked for most of the day, passed the snow-capped mountain fort in the middle of the mountain, had lunch at the dangerous rock fort below, continued on the road after a short rest, and went down the mountain at sunset to the Yuemen Fort at the foot of the mountain.

Surrounded by a moat, the river comes from the Giant's Spear's year-round snow-water waterfall, and behind the Moongate Fort is the Giant's Spear Mountains. The castle is huge, with barracks, blacksmiths, bachelor's towers, main fort towers, lord's towers, etc., and the towers built are all square.

Moongate Castle guards the road to Eagle's Nest City, and to get to Eagle's Nest City, you must enter through the drawbridge at the front gate of Moongate Fort and exit through the drawbridge at the back gate. Moongate Fort is twice the size of Eagle's Nest. During the snowy winter, the Arryn family would descend from the Eagle's Nest and live in the Moongate Fort until summer came.

In winter, no one can stay in the Eagle's Nest, which is on top of the Giant's Spear, close to the moon, and the eagles are flying below it. The air is as cold as a knife, the cold wind howls day and night, and the ice and snow accumulate all over the courtyard and the top of the tower, and it will not melt. Those who live on the Eagle's Nest will freeze to death during the winter.

Mia Shidong led the way, leading a group of nobles to the city gate, the heavy iron gate had been opened, and the old knight of the castle lord Nestrois stood at the gate to greet him.

The family stationed at Moongate Fort is a branch of the Royce family. The chest of the lord of the castle, Nestrous, is embroidered with a family coat of arms: a black sluice stands in front of a white crescent, lined with runes on a purple bronze background.

Runes are an ancient tradition that has been preserved by both the main vein and branch of the Royce family!

The old man Nestrois was not of high status, he was a knight. The knighthood cannot be inherited, but must be obtained by bravery and character, which is an honor that distinguishes it from other titles. But at the same time, knight is also the lowest rank of knighthood.

The young man standing beside Nest was his son and heir, Elbal Royce, who was not yet a knight and, like his father, had not received any other titles.

Nest also has an eldest daughter, who also lives in Moongate Fort, but is a lonely widow without a queen, who usually does not go out and rarely talks to people.

This branch of the Royce family has a very low status, and in the eyes of the great nobles of the valley, it has no status.

Nestrois was originally the favorite butler of the Eagle's Nest by Prime Minister Jon Arryn, and when Prime Minister Jon Arryn died, Lady Lysa Tully, who returned to the Vale, fired Nest and replaced him with another rigoster who could sing and tell jokes as the steward of Eagle's Nest.

Knight Nest welcomed the group into the Moongate Fort, the sun was setting, it would soon be dark, and at the foot of the mountain was a real hot summer, and everyone was wearing short shirts to escape the heat. The evening breeze blows in the castle and is pleasantly cool.

Nestroys's eyes flickered as he greeted Jonroyce.

Bronze Jon is shrewd: "Knight Nest, do you have anything to say to me?"

“...... Belch...... Yes...... Lord Earl...... "Nest took out an open letter from his bosom and handed it to Count Jon, "Your Excellency, you need ...... Know...... Very bad news. ”

Jon's face became solemn, and the nobles who were traveling with him fell silent, and they also felt an ominous aura.

Bronze Jonroyce unfolded the letter, and after reading it, his face turned pale.

The letter was not addressed to him, nor to the Knight of Nest, but to Duke Robert Arryn, Lady Lysa Tully, and Petyr Littlefinger of Eagle's Nest. The letter, written by Bronze Jon's youngest daughter, Yasina Royce, demanded that Lysa Tully submit to the Iron Throne, that the Mountain needed a document of the Vale Lord's oath of submission, and that all eight families of the Vale must send a direct descendant of the family to serve as a guard or royal courtier in the Red Keep in King's Landing.

This is a hostage in the traditional sense, as has been done by kings and vassals by default.

The letter said that in order to warn the valley, the Magic Mountain had already taken Rune City last night, and the three major vassal families under the Royce family were also taken by the Magic Mountain this morning. Runestone Island has all fallen into the hands of the Magic Mountain, and Andarous, the heir of Rune City, refuses to surrender and is beheaded by the Magic Mountain. If the Valley Lord does not sign the document of submission, the Demon Mountain will lead his troops to bypass the Bloody Gate in the west and invade the basin plains of the Valley from the sea to the east.

The Blood Gate cannot be breached, and everyone knows this, unless there is a dragon.

However, in the eastern sea, there are many places where you can land on the valley plains, and the entire long coastline can be landed at any location. Littlefinger's territory, the Five Fingers Peninsula, is right on the sea, accessible by fishing boats and ferries and warships. There are at least dozens of landing sites like this.

The bronze Jonroyce stood as motionless as a stone carving, his eyes moving up and down, and he turned the letter over and over again I don't know how many times, and everyone saw that his lips were purple and his hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and they did not dare to ask him what had happened.

His family's heir, Andarous, has been beheaded by the Magic Mountain, the other two sons have died and disappeared, and the only youngest daughter has now fallen into the hands of the Magic Mountain. The magic mountain is cruel and bloodthirsty, and if one is not careful, the youngest daughter Yasina Royce is also very lucky.

Bronze Jonn folded the letter, his fingers trembling slightly, and he put the little daughter's distress letter to Eagle's Nest City in his pocket.

The rune stone city is broken, and the three major families under it each have their own castles and territories, and they have also been conquered by the magic mountain one by one. In the letter written by the youngest daughter, there is not a single mention of Bronze Jon, which shows that the letter was written according to the mind of the Magic Mountain.

The letter was sent down by the Eagle's Nest Scholars through Raven in order to let Jonroyce know that his Runestone City had been overrun by the Demon Mountain. However, the lord of Eagle's Nest City did not give any instructions or suggestions on this matter, as if the occupation of Runestone City had nothing to do with the Duke of Eagle's Nest City.

"Knight Nest, do you have a dark beer from the Riverlands?" said Jon, his voice calm and calm, much to the relief of the nobles watching him.

"Yes, sir!"

"Add ice cubes and bring me a big glass. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Soon, wine and food came up and filled the table.

Bronze Jonroyce drank a dark beer with ice, and there were many delicious dishes on the table, but Bronze Jonn did not taste a single bite.

"My lord, what happened?" said Earl Horton Redford, concerned. They have already made a marriage, they are a family, so they should share the same hatred.

"The Magic Mountain took Runestone City last night, and this morning, when we were on our way to the mountains, he took the other three castles on the island, which were the three castles of my vassals. Bronze Jon said, as if talking about someone else's business.

For a while, everyone was stunned and couldn't make a sound!

It's unbelievable!

A very fierce voice sounded: "I have long said that the magic mountain can never be trusted, and the little trick of the little trick of the little finger to deceive the magic mountain into withdrawing the army did not deceive the magic mountain." Lynn Cobray yelled as she slapped the table.

"Your Excellency, we need to gather the Valley Warriors to reclaim Runestone City immediately. Earl Houghton said.

"Unless the Eagle's Nest City orders it, but the Eagle's Nest City only showed me the distress letter written by the little girl to the Eagle's Nest City, and did not attach the letter of the Lord of the Eagle's Nest City and the order to assemble the Valley Legion. Bronze Yorn said calmly, "I can only order the gathering of the warriors of Runestone Island, but my Runestone Island has been occupied by the Magic Mountain. ”

"Your Excellency," Lynn Cobray snapped, "The warriors of the Cobry family can be assembled in one day, and they can be reached in four days. ”

"It takes two days for the Redford family to assemble, but it will take eight days for us to get to Runestone, my lord. ”

"Count Royce, the soldiers of Moongate Fort can't be dispatched, we need orders from your lordship. Nestrois was full of apologies. His mission is to garrison the Erin family's Moon Gate Fort, which is the only way up and down the Eagle's Nest City.

The Moon Gate Fort at the foot of the Giant's Spear Mountain, the Snow Mountain Fort on the mountainside, the Dangerous Rock Fort, the Changtian Fort at the snow line, and the Eagle's Nest City at the top of the mountain are all private castles belonging to the Arryn family.

"We can order the nobles of the Righteous Alliance to raise an army together to retake Runestone City and drive out the Magic Mountain. Lynn was furious.

"Thank you Lord Lynn for your great help, but my little daughter Yasina Royce is in the hands of the Magic Mountain, the lives of the soldiers of Runestone Island, and tens of thousands of people are in the hands of the Magic Mountain. The mountain demanded that the Duke of Eagle's Nest sign a surrender order before he could withdraw his troops and release his youngest daughter, Yasina. ”

"Yes, we can't hurt Miss Yasina's life, we can't be impulsive now, first make peace, then raid the Demon Mountain, and then surrender to Stark, the king of the North. Said Earl Redford.

"Who's going to negotiate with the Magic Mountain?" said Count Cobray, who had been silent.

"This requires orders from Eagle's Nest. Bronze Jon's mouth was full of bitterness.

Now the Eagle's Nest City is in the hands of Littlefinger, and Littlefinger has a knot with him. He is doing his best to build a 'righteous alliance' to deal with Littlefinger, and now, he has to return to Eagle's Nest to meet Littlefinger.

The Duke of Eagle's Nest City was only eight years old, and his physical and intellectual development was slow. Mrs. Rysa Tully was too fat to move, and her bargaining power could not match her appetite. If Vale had to negotiate with the Magic Mountain, who would Rysa Tully send to be the master? Only Petyrberg, Littlefinger, of course!

However, Bronze Jörn refused to give in, and decided to unite the forces of the eight great families of the Vale to convince Lysa Tully to send him as the chief peace negotiator.

"We have to go back. Lord Lynn, Lord Redwin, Earl Cobray, we need to go back, back to the Eagle's Nest, and join the Tampton Knights, Lady Anya Weywood, and others to make a statement to Lysa Tully, and I hope you will support me as the negotiator, not Littlefinger Petyr. ”
