Chapter 39, Next Step (May the brothers and sisters in Yibin, Sichuan be well!)
Autumn is a bit shorter in the north than in the south, and before winter arrives, the cold winds creep in, and the morning sun is no longer warm.
After a night of recuperation, Tywin continued with his troops to the town of Camoranesi.
"Gabry, you're not in the right state, are you okay?"
Everyone had approached the town of Camoranesi, where the enemy was located, and Chris couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw his younger brother beside him in a trance and in a bad state.
Hearing this, Lan Dun came back to his senses, shook his head, and said with a smile pulling the corners of his mouth: "It's okay." ”
In last night's meditative state, all kinds of wonderful pictures appeared in his mind, and he heard countless voices that could burst his brain, but in the end, he did not awaken his spiritual power and master magic power!
Although because of the sequelae of those voices that cause headaches.
But the blood boiled all over his body, and his strength was significantly enhanced, and he really had nothing to do.
"Really?" Chris was skeptical.
Langton smiled bitterly: "What's the use of me lying to you?"
"Alright, don't talk about it, the people of Camoranesi Town have opened the door to greet them. ”
"Everyone get ready!"
"But Master Tywin Lannister is here?"
Camoranesi is arguably the southernmost barony of the Northlands, with forests and a rocky hill to the west, and because of the higher terrain, there are no beaches by the sea, only cliffs.
Only a few dozen people remained in the castle in the vast territory.
Because the treacherous Rocky Camoranesi could not even guarantee his own safety, when he saw Tywin, who claimed to be patrolling in place of Herbert, he immediately appeared to greet him, without considering the authenticity of his identity in the slightest.
Tywin, who was at the forefront of the troop on horseback, glanced at him and asked lightly, "Are you Rocky Camoranesi?"
Rocky hurriedly said, "Yes, Lord Tywin. ”
Tywin: "Let's talk about something in first, are you ready for food?" It's almost time for dinner, and my people need to eat." ”
"It's ready. Rocky immediately led the way: "My lord, please come in." ”
Slowly entering the town of Camoranesi, and then passing through the gates of Camoranesi Castle, the silent and majestic Tevinla truce horse asked, "Rocky Camoranesi, do you know how Herbert handles incompetent waste?"
Hearing this, Rocky chuckled inwardly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked worriedly, "Lord Tywin, what did I do wrong?"
Tywin shook his head and asked, "If you're the Duchess." ”
"What do you think is the use of a Camoranesi collar without civilians, without soldiers, without output?"
"Lord Tywin......" This was obviously to deal with his own meaning, and Rocky, who heard this, suddenly trembled, and hurriedly defended: "It's not my fault that the population of the territory has disappeared!"
"It's all that weird fog!"
"You can't blame me for that!"
Tywin: "Did you save anyone?"
"What..."Rocky suddenly panicked even more, "I... That... That fog was so weird... We couldn't leave the castle at all......"
Tywin: "So you didn't save your own people?"
"My lord, if I had gone into the fog that day, I would not have survived..."Lodge panicked: "I am the first person to be loyal to the Duchess, I am loyal to the Duchess, and I am willing to die for the Duchess! You won't punish me for this, will you?"
"So, you're not wrong to be cowardly?" Tywin asked, "and think I'm not qualified to care about you?"
Rocky: "My lord, I didn't mean to offend you..."
"It's just this......"
Hearing this, Tywin sneered, "I can't take care of it?"
"My lord, I didn't mean to offend you!" Lodge said hurriedly, "I just hope you can be accommodating in this matter......"
The two of them said so much that the soldiers in the surrounding town of Camoranesi paid attention.
That's what Tywin wants!
Even though Chris had some hindsight, he also found that his younger brother, who had quietly commanded the soldiers to surround the enemy, had already led Sauron towards Rocky.
"Take it!"
With Tywin's shout, Ranton quickly drew his sword and slashed at Rocky Camoranesi.
Hearing the loud shouting and the sound of drawing the sword behind him, he turned around and saw Langton slashing with a sword, and the soldiers around him were controlled by the sharp sword and spear, Rocky was shocked and angry, and shouted while raising his sword to block: "I am Baron Camoranesi, the Duchess of Theron!"
"You don't have the right to deal with me!"
Because of the treacherous fog, Rocky Camoranesi, who was afraid of death, became timid as a mouse.
But no matter how unbearable he is, he also has the strength of the Black Iron Beginner Rank.
However.
Rocky miscalculated the intentions of Tywin and the others, thinking that they were going to punish themselves for their cowardice, and they didn't know the terrifying power of Lanton, the sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, but the long sword couldn't parry the slash, and could only watch the blade slash down!
"Ah~"
The long sword slashed into his chest, causing Rocky to scream in pain!
Controlled by swords and spears, the soldiers of Camoranesi Town around them could not do anything to save people.
Coupled with Tywin's words, the Camoranessi, who had lost their family and friends in the mist, naturally looked down on the lord who was frightened by the mist.
"Now that we're going to take control of Camoranesi Castle, who of you wouldn't be reconciled?"
On horseback, Tywin proudly glanced around and exclaimed, "I'll give you one last chance to resist!"
"Or lay down your arms!"
Faced with swords and spears, resistance is equal to death.
Baron Rocky Camoranesi was slashed to the ground by Lanton's sword, and the blade slashed open his right chest, bleeding all over the ground, apparently hopeless.
"Bang Dang~"
There was a sound of weapons falling to the ground.
The loyal monarch was dying, knowing that the tide was turning, and no one in the soldiers of the town of Camoranesi was willing to die.
"You made the right choice. ”
Seeing that the enemy had surrendered and could take over Camoranesi without a hitch, Tywin nodded in satisfaction.
"Gabry, tie them all up. ”
"What?!"
Hearing this, the soldiers of Camoranesi Town, who had laid down their weapons, immediately panicked.
"Why did Lord Tywin tie us up?"
Langton: "Because we're not the Duchess of Theron's people." ”
"What?!"
"You are rebels?!"
Langton shook his head: "Don't say it so ugly, strictly speaking, you are the rebels." ”
Having lost their weapons and soldiers with swords in their arms, they knew that Tywin was not Rocky Camoranesi's boss, but their enemy, and that the Camoranesi could not resist and could only be captured.
"You're going to kill us?"
"No, it won't. ”
Hearing Tywin's words, the surrendered Camoranesis breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
At this time, Camoranesi Castle had only a few servants left except for the soldiers, and Chris took action, and it didn't take long to take control of the castle and the town.
Don't want to take over the castle and guard the surrenders.
Langton left Tywin's arrangement and found Andrew, who was still studying seriously: "It's treasure hunt time!"
"The treasure trove of the Camoranesi family awaits us!"
Andrew, who has experience in looting and can skillfully open mechanisms, moves quickly, and before dinner time, he searches the entire castle.
"A lot of gold......
"They found a box of magic scrolls!"
"And magic weapons!"
"We deserve a share of the money!"
"That's right!"
Same as the Rodriguez family.
Langton and Andrew, who have scavenged the treasure trove of the Camoranesi family, have gained a lot.
But Tywin was very unhappy about this.
Because the behavior of the two aroused the greed of the soldiers, they wanted to join in to get money, and then there were constant violations of military discipline, which led to chaos in the army!
The troops can't be messed up!
Watch as more and more soldiers run over and secretly stuff the gold coins that are suspended in the air into their pockets.
Langton immediately frowned, groaned for a while, and then claimed to the soldiers: "Everything we find in Camoranesi Castle, we will hand over to the Craig family." ”
"If you want your belongings, you have to distribute them when you get back!"
Hearing this, the dissatisfied soldier was full of complaints.
The abundant booty will also increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers while arousing their greed.
But Tywin was well aware of his situation, this was August's Empire, not Westeros, where he once lived.
Without the support of the family, as an outsider under the fence, reputation is very important!
Therefore, he could not indulge the soldiers in burning, killing and looting as before.
"Soldiers who violate military discipline stand up for me!"
Hearing the roar of the commanding commander full of majesty, the soldier immediately stopped grumbling, because no one would be stupid enough to touch his head, and no one would take the initiative to stand up and be punished.
However.
It's not that they are silent, and things can end like this.
"I recognize who it is. ”
Sauron walked over at this time and pointed out a few people: "Your pockets are all broken by gold coins, do you still want to deny it?"
Several of the soldiers who were pointed out turned pale.
For the guy who violated discipline, Chris didn't have a good face.
"Lord Tywin, how many lashes do you want them to whip?"
"Whip?" Tywin has a tough style, since he wants to kill chickens and monkeys, it is impossible to punish him so lightly: "Just push it out and behead it!"
"What?"
Hearing this, the soldiers were confused.
Tywin, an outsider, would dare to execute them for stealing money!
Chris frowned: "My lord, will this punishment be too heavy?"
"Your Excellency, you have no right to execute us!"
"We are soldiers loyal to the Craig family, you are just an outsider!"
A few people who were pointed out panicked.
"Ah~"
Tywin had given the order, and no soldiers were carrying it out, but Sauron would show no mercy to them, and with a flash of his sword, the convicted man was beheaded.
Langton: "Quiet!"
Fear the power of Sauron, the immortality of Dowling, and the mysterious Andrew.
Hearing the shouts of the Craig family's son-in-law, the soldiers had no choice but to shut up.
Tywin said in a deep voice, "Alright, that's all for today, but I don't want to find anyone violating military discipline again......"
"I hope you remember how I handled it this time!"
"Yes!"
Feeling the majesty of the old lion, the frightened soldier immediately answered obediently, and then obeyed the order to leave the castle, and returned to guard the captives and patrol with the gold coins that had not been ordered.
Camoranesi's affairs were quickly dealt with.
Armed with his captives and booty, Tywin led his troops on the journey back to Craig.
With Andrew, Langton went straight home with a few precious books and otherworldly items, just like the last time in Rodriguestown.
Return to Craig's town.
Instead of continuing to teach Langton to cultivate, Sauron went to the blacksmith to craft weapons.
Dowling goes to Craig's Manor to report back to Erin Craig.
Knowing that the Camoranesi Territory was also affected by the Fog, Rocky Camoranesi, who controlled the Camoranesi Territory, was frightened, and the Camoranesi Territory suffered huge population losses like the Rodriguez Territory, and Tywin easily took the Camoranesi Castle by fraud.
Erin's face was full of disbelief.
When he came back to his senses, he immediately sent Bethorne to pick up the hero.
With the horses and carriages answered, Tywin and Chris hurried back to Craig the next evening.
"Now we can think about the Blade River attacking Machiavelli. ”
Tywin's strength gave Arryn a great deal of confidence.
After two days of renovation, the lobby of the Craig Manor building has been restored to full strength, but it is still used as a meeting room.
Tywin at the round table shook his head when he heard this, "Attacking Machiavelli doesn't need to be thought about. ”
"Since the Camoranesi Territory and the Rodriguez Territory are within the reach of the Fog. ”
"I think Craig is the center of the fog. ”
Arin's eyes lit up, "Lord Tywin thinks that Machiavelli is also affected by the mist?"
Tywin nodded, "So we should think about the next step." ”
"What's next?" Bethone, who was in the meeting, frowned, "What are you going to do?"
Tywin said, "Contact your allies and get the monarch back." ”
"A few days ago I received information at the tavern that Miss Isabella had escaped from Mrs. Theron's clutches, and that the Woodfords had abandoned their family possessions and were still resisting in guerrilla ways. ”
"So we should contact the Woodford family and get Miss Isabella back. ”
"Not bad!"
Bethorne was very much in favor of Tywin's plan.
This plan would allow Craig to get out of the predicament of being alone, but Erin was not optimistic: "How are we going to contact the Woodford family?"
"Where do I find Miss Isabella?"
Tywin: "Do you believe me?"
Bethorne was the first to say: "Of course I believe it!"
Erin nodded as well.
Tywin: "In that case, when I take Machiavelli, I'll lead my troops in search of the Woodford family and Miss Isabella." ”
"What do you think?"
Erin disagreed: "It's too risky!"
"Arryn, since we have chosen to rebel against Lady Theron, we must not be afraid. Besso sighed and said in a deep voice, "We must get the help of our allies, otherwise Craig Town will not be able to withstand the rebels' attack." ”
"And, once Miss Isabella returns, I'm sure all the Northlanders will unite and overthrow Lady Theron's rule!"
Arryn worried, "What if Lord Tywin can't find the Woodford family anytime soon, and Madam Theron's army has already attacked?"
"Then give up Craig Collar!"
Bethaune was resolute: "As long as there are soldiers, we have all possibilities." ”
Tywin also said, "A momentary failure doesn't mean anything. ”
"With the materials we have now, we will actually gain more advantages by giving up the territory. ”
There is a family, a people, and a family inheritance of generations, and Erin can't give up easily: "I need to think about it again." ”
Tywin didn't say much about this, and instead discussed the distribution of the loot.
After discussing military affairs, he went straight back to Lanton's house.
"Gabry, we'll leave Craig the day after tomorrow. ”
Hearing the words of the old lion who had returned, Langton knew that his next plan had already begun to be implemented.
"But our family's chamber of commerce hasn't been put in order yet. ”
Tywin, who was expressionless, said, "Then you should hurry up and not just focus on cultivation." ”
Langton was very depressed: "Without strength, we can't get out." ”
...... To be continued......
