Chapter 0128 Military Power
Banclos Castle.
The closest castle to Rock City.
The realm of Count Banclo and the realm of Crag Rock are intertwined.
Banclo Castle is also the last castle in the Twenty Cities of the Magic Mountain.
At that time, it was already dawn, and when the Magic Mountain brought a total of more than 20 knights, led by Count Damon Malblane and Baron Adam Malbran, to the gate of Banclos Castle, the Count of Bancloll took the initiative to give up any resistance, and raised his hand very sincerely.
The Earl confessed on the high wall that he had no intention of making enemies with the noble Westerling family, and that he was ready to return all the land of the Westerling family, but it was only because of the face of Count Damon that he agreed to Count Damon's request against his will, and did not return the land to the respected Earl Gavin for the time being.
In fact, Count Banclos has a selfish intention, that is, if Count Damon can really resist the pressure of the Magic Mountain, he still wants to continue to occupy the land of the Westerling family, if the battle between Count Damon and the Magic Mountain is lost, then, he sees the wind and rudders, and returns all the land belonging to the Westerling family.
The Magic Mountain gave Count Banclo the opportunity to see the wind and steer the rudder, so Count Bancloll also seized this opportunity with great interest, and in front of all the knights, Count Bancloll confessed that he would return all the Westerling family's land immediately.
After the Magic Mountain also hypocritically expressed his sincere gratitude to the Count of Banclos for his reasonableness, the Magic Mountain took Count Damon and others into the castle of Banclo, these counts or barons who were captured in the middle of the night were all people with two legs, but there were many scars on their bodies and faces, fierce resistance, and their whole bodies were tied up, and the gentle attitude was just tied with their hands.
The first evil Damon Malbran has been placed on horseback by the magic mountain, with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky. As for his precious son, Sir Adam Malbran, who had the best personal relationship with Jaime Lannister, was tied up with five flowers, his lips broken, his teeth broken, his lips swollen high, and his shirt covered in blood.
Count Damon, on the other hand, had half of his face blooming, and had been slapped by the two slaps of the Magic Mountain last night, and half of his face was swollen like bread. That eye has also become a slit to see people. The majesty of the Earl's words before, the usual delicacy, the arrogance of being the cousin of Duke Tywin, and the contempt that never put people in his eyes, are all gone.
Magic Mountain and the others had eaten and drunk enough at Count Banklow's house, and fed enough water and forage to the horses that had been running all night, and without the orders of Magic Mountain, Banclos had already sent someone to release ravens and reported to the Westerling family the good news about Lord Gregor's recent situation. Subsequently, in order to congratulate Lord Magic Mountain's internal wedding, the Earl of Banclo presented a congratulatory gift of one hundred golden dragons, and on the congratulatory plate, there was a title deed of the land belonging to the Westerling family.
Magic Mountain was very restrained and only took the title deed, and he wanted the hundred gold dragons given by Count Banclo very much, but he also refused very resolutely.
The goal this time is very clear, and the slogan shouted is also known to everyone: take back the land that has been passed down from generation to generation, not to extort money from anyone.
There is a legitimate excuse to get the land back, there are people on the land, there are taxes, there are soldiers, and this is enough. This time, it is 'reasonable and reasonable', 'it is unreasonable and unreasonable', as long as the land is in hand, there is no need to take anyone's money, which is taboo and greedy.
If you take all the land and money, you will be happy, but there will always be a stalk in the hearts of others, which is really too much.
Count Bancloe was very happy to see that the Demon Mountain resolutely refused to accept a hundred golden dragons. Magic Mountain is cruel but measured, he is very considerate and understanding, he found ten carriages, and 'invited' more than twenty captured knights into the carriage one by one, and Magic Mountain and his twenty-two Clegane 'killers' rode war horses, protecting the ten carriages, and slowly walked towards the steep rock city of the Westerling family.
Banclo Castle is dozens of miles away from Rock City.
As soon as the carriage entered the territory of the Westerlings, the Earl of Angus stopped the carriage, he jumped off his horse, invited the Lord of the Magic Mountain to the back of the line, and begged the Magic Mountain to let him go back, and he would immediately send someone to send the title deeds of the Westerlings to Castle Rock.
It turned out that Angus refused to go to the Westerling family to be humiliated again, he was a man of chivalry, and this kind of person had a fatal flaw, that is, he valued his own honor very much.
Since his fist is not as big as the Demon Mountain, the backer Count Damon is even worse than him, no matter how many troops his family has, no one in the entire family dares to move if others are in the hands of the Demon Mountain. He was also on Count Damon's side because of Count Damon's guarantee and persuasion, but things have reached such a point that people fall into the hands of the Magic Mountain, and no matter how much they play with the Magic Mountain, it is meaningless!
If you pay it back, then pay it back!
Moreover, the Magic Mountain is Duke Tywin's favorite general, the first in the Western Realm, and has recently invented a series of things, which has won the heart of Earl Tywin, judging from the series of circumstances in which Count Tywin adopted Jane Westerling adopted his daughter and then married his adopted daughter to Magic Mountain, who would dare to kill Magic Mountain? Without Tywin's nod, no one would dare to him!
So Angus made a decision, sooner or later, he had to give the magic mountain what he wanted, so why bother to stay up and be humiliated?
The magic mountain stared at the Count of Angus for a long time, did not speak, he took out a knife and cut the rope on the hand of the Count of Angus, nodded, pursed his lips, and motioned for the Count to ride away directly.
Along the way, Moshan and his brothers saw some good horses and took them by hand, and the number of horses in the team also increased a lot, and there were many empty horses!
So, the Count of Angus thanked the Magic Mountain and rode away!
The team continued to move forward, and after walking a short distance, they saw a large flag in front of them: three roaring black hounds in the land of Jin Huángsè. - Sweetmouth Raffard Clegane leads the Klegane cavalry to meet the Magic Mountain.
Soon, another group of people arrived, and it was the young hero Renard Westerling and the heavy axe warrior Rover Spicer who led a team of twenty people to meet the Magic Mountain!
The procession continued to move on, and after a while, another large banner appeared, with six white shells on the golden sand—Lady Jenny and Count Gavin Westerling led thirty family soldiers to meet the Magic Mountain.
This time, the team was lively.
After Gavin Westerling greeted the Magic Mountain, he was about to go to Damon Malblane in the carriage to greet him, and put on a friendly gesture, but he heard the Magic Mountain say: "Knight Renard." ”
When Renard heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he said, "Sir Gregor, I'm not a knight yet. ”
"Oh!" said Gregor, "if you behave well, I'll be glad to make you a knight." ”
"Thank you, Sir Gregor!" said Renard.
With a force of twenty-two people, Magic Mountain picked more than 20 nobles in the north overnight and arrested more than 20 knights.
"Renard, I'm going to send you to do something!" is 'pie', not 'please'.
"Listen to you, Sir Gregor, you are already my family by blood, and Renard is willing to follow in Sir Brother's wing. ”
The Magic Mountain was waiting for Renard's words.
He knew Renard's character very well, and he was an extremely reliable teenager, whose loyalty was not to be tested. With time and good carving, this child can become a great tool. Although Earl Gavin is useless, his greatest credit is the birth of two siblings, Janine Westerling and Renard Westerling.
"Renard, I order you to take the family scouts to patrol the borders of the Westerling territory, rotate the scouts day and night, and once you find any suspicious people entering the territory, immediately send someone to report to me!"
"Yes, Sir Gregor!" Reynard was full of joy, and the feeling of going to war filled the young man with excitement, and he immediately called the family scout, saluted the army to the Magic Mountain, and rode away with the scout.
Invisible and silent, the Magic Mountain naturally intervened and controlled the military power of the Westerling family! There was only one person who could see this on the spot: Jenny Westerling!
