Chapter 77, Robert and Eddard
"How do you prove it?"
After listening to Arthur's spoilers, Robert's face was more serious than ever.
He owes his friend Ed too much.
The usurpers sent themselves to the throne during wars, but the northern frontiers reaped the least benefits.
When the king came to the coup, he sacrificed his life to save him, fled to Essos to share the troubles, returned to Westeros, and immediately made his son, who had established himself king, admit his mistake and lead the northern vassals to continue their allegiance.
Arthur: "If I could, I'd like to go north of the Wall and catch a ghoul and bring it back as proof." ”
The old legion leader had already seen the Fat Emperor's thoughts, and he wanted to change his strategy of gaining the support of Arryn Valley and taking King's Landing directly.
After thinking for a moment, he muttered and spoke: "Then we should take the Frey family first, and then while recovering the northern border, stick to the Riverland, and temporarily not go south to take back the Iron Throne to avoid consuming too many troops." ”
"If Daenerys crosses the sea, the territory is to the east, and the Lannisters, who occupy the royal realm and King's Landing, will bear the brunt.
And we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until they are almost consumed by each other, and then calm down in one fell swoop!"
The idea was good, the strategy was correct, but Robert was a little worried: "What if the Lannisters can't fight that Dorag girl?"
Francis shook his head: "Now it is the Lannister who sits on the Iron Throne, and the monarchicide killed the Mad King, the father of that Dorag girl, and it is difficult for them to shake hands and make peace." ”
"Then, we should pacify the north first. Robert had already made a decision in his heart, looking at his son who could see the future, "If Joffrey is really dead, I will personally cross the Wall with you." ”
He also wanted to meet the legendary ghouls and strangers.
People have killed so much, for these legendary monsters, the warlike emperor is very itchy!
"The whole army obeys the order, pulls out the camp and goes north, and targets Twin River City!"
Emperor Robert gave the order and stayed here for a few days, and the soldiers who were waiting for the food were ready to pack their things one after another, and they were ready to kill the river crossing.
Except for a thousand mercenaries brought from Essos.
The rest of the soldiers were from the North.
Attending a wedding at Frey's house and enjoying guest rights is a conspiracy that kills thousands.
Their enmity with the Frey family is not ordinary!
Listening to the soldiers' shouts of revenge, putting on light armor and riding on a white horse, Arthur, who was carrying a steel gun, sighed a little.
I don't know how many people will die.
......
The army marched north.
Had the experience of living in King's Landing.
Under the gorgeous sunshine, looking at the colorful tree shadows, feeling the fresh air in the forest, and hearing the sound of birds, Arthur can make up the fragrance of flowers.
At this moment, the scout suddenly rode to report: "Your Majesty, a group of people has appeared in front of you, claiming to be the Brotherhood without Flags, and the leader is Berry Dondelien, Earl of Black Harbor. ”
"Berry Dondelion?" Robert looked at his friend, who had heard his prime minister mention that he had sent the Earl of Black Harbor with a hundred men to capture the Magic Mountain.
However, they all heard that Berry Dondelion had been hacked to death by the Magic Mountain.
"Go check it out. ”
With the Emperor at his side, Arthur was now almost like the Kingsguard.
Wherever Robert goes, he goes.
The crowd soon saw Berry Dondelion, who had lost an eye.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister. Seeing the emperor and the prime minister, the Count of Black Harbor hurriedly dismounted and saluted.
Robert looked at him and said, "I thought you were dead, but it's better not to die, and you're going to go north with us to destroy the Freys, and then pacify the north." ”
"Yes. "With the Emperor's order, Berry Dondelion did not hesitate to immediately let the people of the Brotherhood without Banners join the army.
As the Brotherhood of No Flags was incorporated into the army, Berry came to the Emperor and the Prime Minister to listen to his orders, and Eddard asked them about their experiences during this time.
The words of death and resurrection sounded too unbelievable, and Berry did not take the initiative to mention it, only saying that they had been attacked in the theater and attacked the Lannisters in a guerrilla way because of the heavy losses.
"All the wounds on your body are fatal. Having fought a hundred battles, Francis was well aware of the severity of Berry's injuries, "It's a miracle that he's still alive." ”
Penelope, who followed Annie, Heinly Kay, and Selena in a low-key manner, was a little excited: "No, it's not a miracle, it's a miracle!"
With that, she looked at the red-robed monk beside Berry, Thoros of Mill.
In Valyrian, he asked, "How did you do that?"
Soros of Mill had already spoken to Melisandre about this topic, and repeating it was the will of the Lord of Light, and said in Westeros: "Sorry, let's not say it in lingua franca, after all, everyone doesn't understand." ”
"What miracle?" said Robert, looking at his son, who knew Valyrian.
Arthur subconsciously replied: "Sir Berry died six times, and all of them were resurrected by Soros of Mill. ”
"What?" Robert, Eddard, Francis, Barristan, Anne, and the surrounding North Jazz were so surprised that their mouths couldn't close their mouths.
Realizing that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, Arthur quickly shook his head and explained: "This kind of resurrection is not as simple as you think, and only those who are favored by the Lord of Light, Rahlo, are eligible for resurrection. ”
Heinrikay looked at Soros of the boy, Penelope, and Mill with burning eyes, and asked, "How can you be favored by Laherlo?"
Arthur smiled bitterly: "You can only ask the red god about this." ”
Heinrikai asked rhetorically, "Aren't you the child of light of Rahlo, can you know why Berry was resurrected, and you must know other inside information, right?"
For a while, the boy attracted everyone's attention and looked at him very uncomfortable.
"Children of Light?" Berry and Thoros looked at each other, confused, and then tried to get a message from Penelope.
Penelope said, "Arthur was chosen by the Lord of Light, Rahlo, and possessed the power of light from the Lord of Light, and became a Child of Light by converting to my god. ”
Hearing this, Arthur rolled his eyes wildly, but he couldn't argue with it because he had joined their church.
Thinking that the young man could give others the ability to heal his wounds by mastering the Holy Light, Robert suddenly asked with a serious face, "Arthur, can you really resurrect the dead?"
"No, I told you about the Light,"
Arthur shrugged his shoulders depressedly, and then explained angrily: "Resurrecting the dead is against the sky, to recall the soul of the dead, give life to the dead body, and restore vitality and vitality, how can it be as simple as you think?"
Penelope said, "But if you believe in Rahlo, the Lord of Light, with all your heart, it will be possible!"
Arthur was a little upset when he heard this: "You believe in the Lord of Light with all your heart, so can you do it?"
"You're different!"
Penelope really can't do it, but she thinks Soros can do it, and the Child of Light, who has Rahlo's bestowed powers, certainly can.
"Yes, theoretically, anyone who has learned the resurrection spell and can use rituals can resurrect the dead. ”
Arthur really didn't want to give people an ethereal hope, and then the resurrection failed, bringing even more despair: "But do you know who else has been resurrected besides the Earl of Berry?"
Gianna, who helped her grandfather take the shield and acted as an attendant, said: "Arthur, you said that magic returns, transcendent reappearance in the world, and you can't resurrect the dead now, it doesn't mean that you can't do it in the future, right?"
"The return of magic, the transcendent reappearance of the world?"
These words made the eyes of everyone look at Arthur again.
"Soros, I command you to say the incantations and rituals of the resurrection, and you must teach Arthur how to do it!" Robert said in a tone that could not be denied.
Soros's eyes were deep: "It is my honor to teach the Children of Light. ”
