Chapter 63: The Battle of Midsummer Hall (4)
Soon, in the forest not far away, the banner of the Fell family faintly appeared, their banner was a black and green half of the shield, the middle was divided horizontally in a jagged shape, there was a white crescent moon in the upper left corner, and the serrated green half of the lower part looked like a dense forest, like a beautiful picture of the forest at night, obviously, the ancestor of the Fell family was probably an "art student".
Walking in the front was a middle-aged man who was not angry and arrogant, looking powerful, with his left hand pressed on his sword, looking like a veteran of the battlefield, thinking that it was Langdon Fell, the Earl of Fallwood City.
He was followed by a young man with a silver axe, a horse's head away, which looked to be made of fine steel, glittering in the afternoon sun, and a strong smell of blood faintly emanating from the blade. Obviously, this is a real "murder weapon" that has seen blood.
This man was the eldest son and heir of Earl Landon Fair, who was nicknamed "The Silver Axe" because of his silver axe.
"Father, the Summer Hall is ahead, and the territories of Cavolon and Earl Grandson are closer than we are, so we must have arrived." Polka Fell said to his father, Earl Landon Fair.
"yes, I can already faintly see Count Cavron's banner, and I think they've arrived early." The Earl of Landon Fell leaned over the pergola and looked out into the distance, and the afternoon sun was a bit dazzling.
"Father, let me go ahead and inform them!" Without waiting for Earl Landon Fell to agree, he shouted "drive" and rode away, and Earl Fell shook his head helplessly and sighed.
When "Silver Axe" Polka came to the city of Midsummer Hall, he immediately found the camp of the Grandson family, they were still holding barbecue, preparing fine wine, and eating joy, and "Silver Axe" was immediately vigilant.
Robert and Han Xing had already noticed that the Fell family was coming, and Robert made up his mind to continue playing "lewd" streams, wanting to repeat the old trick and trick them into the city again to catch turtles in an urn.
Therefore, he had quietly replaced the well-fed Grandson army with his own people, and then disguised a scene of feasting and drinking, and sent Count Cavolon to "greet" them at the door.
Seeing the arrival of the "Silver Axe", Count Cavolon immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and said kindly: "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Polkaa Fair, and my father is Earl Landon Fair!" Poka Fell saw that the Count of Carvolon was brightly dressed and knew that he was extraordinary, so he humbly reported himself to his family.
"It turned out to be the famous 'silver axe'! He is worthy of being a hero and a teenager! I am the Earl of Cavron, and this is the Earl of Grandson. Earl Cavolon immediately sent sweet words, and then pulled the "virtuous son-in-law" Count Grandson beside him and said.
His original intention was to win the trust of the "Silver Axe", but it was counterproductive to do so, if the other party was the Earl of Landon Fair, it would be reasonable, but although the "Silver Axe" was the heir of the Earl of Landon Fair, it would not be enough for the two Earls to go out to greet each other in person!
This leads to "Silver Axe" having doubts about their identity, "Are you kidding? The two counts, who have no aristocratic demeanor, ran to the gate to see the door, you are a serious nobleman! "How did he know that it was because the main owner of the city was the dignified Grand Duke Robert, the future Lord of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and it was not surprising that these two minor characters were sent to see the door.
What made "Silver Axe" even more suspicious was that there was fresh grilled fish on the table! You know, fish are only found in coastal areas! The territories of these two counts are in the inland area, where do you get the fresh fish!
Although "Silver Axe" sounds like a very irritable and slashing nickname, in fact, Polka Fell himself is a very careful, good at observing, thinking, and quick thinking, but it is because of his love for a silver axe that he has earned such a nickname "exclusive to reckless men".
"Virtuous nephew! You've traveled so much, you must be hungry! We've prepared the feast, and we're waiting for you and your father to take a seat!" Count Cavolon did not notice the strange color on the face of the "silver axe", and he was still basking in the great sense of accomplishment that he had succeeded in fooling Count Grandson before, and he felt that everyone in the world was a big fool, and he would wipe his neck as long as he moved his mouth.
"Silver Axe" hid all the doubts in his heart, pretended to be a reckless man, and said with a smile: "The two earls, my father and the two are friends, since the two adults are kindly invited, of course my father and son will not give face." However, there is a way to order the young and the old, how can I enjoy the food before my father? I will go back and invite him to come with me to the feast. Polkaa Fell's words were so true that even the Count of Cavolon had to praise him again and again for being a dutiful son, and then watched him go away.
But he didn't know that the "silver axe" seemed to be a good man, as if he really just invited his father to have a great meal, and in fact, as soon as he left the sight of the two, he rode his horse and galloped, and went back to his father to report what he had seen and heard.
"Judging from what you described, it is true that the two of them are indeed the Earl of Grandson and the Earl of Cavron, but I don't understand why they greeted them in person at the gate of the city, maybe they were really just warmly welcomed? No, both of them are nobles whose hearts are higher than the sky, and even if I ask for the door on weekdays, they may not meet me, let alone go out to greet them! Something must have happened! Earl Langdon Fell stroked his beard and pondered, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Could they have taken root with the traitor Robert Baratheon? I saw grilled fish in their food, which was only available on the seashore, and as far as I could estimate there were quite a few of them, and it was definitely not a temporary idea, and it would have to be a large army to supply so many fish. Pocafell expressed his suspicions, and indeed the grilled fish did not look like they had been specially obtained by some earl from the seashore on a whim.
Obviously, Robert's plan to bring you into the urn was officially declared bankrupt, and a major war was inevitable.
———————————————————————————————————————
In front of the dilapidated door of the Midsummer Hall, Count Cavolon was pacing around like ants on a hot pot, and he waited left and right before Count Fair's father and son came to "go to the feast", it had been nearly half an hour, and with the speed of their horses, they should have arrived a long time ago.
This is a hurry, and he wants to package and "sell" Count Grandson and Count Fell to Robert as his own resources, if he can't sell his two "teammates" to Robert smoothly, his defection will not be "perfect".
"You say, could it be that kid who saw something?" Count Cavolon said to Count Grandson, who was already slumped on the side.
"Oh no, he must have seen something! You, definitely you, it's all you! Just now, you have been wearing a straight face, with an expression like someone owes you 500 gold dragons, can't you smile properly? You've ruined my perfect acting skills! Apparently Count Cavolon realized that his deception seemed to have failed, and he rightly blamed Earl Grandson for the problem on Earl Grandson's face, after all, "Silver Axe" felt disgusted even to look at his face, how could he see anything in his "moon" face?
In any case, the Count of Cavolon had no choice but to give him a complaining glance at his "good son-in-law", and then went to Robert with regret to report the situation.
As soon as Robert heard this, he immediately ordered the troops to be dispatched, knowing that if the Earl of Fell and his son did see any clues, they would definitely flee.
Robert immediately mounted his horse and led all the cavalry into the forest, leaving the infantry to follow.
It is worth mentioning that Robert has changed a batch of mounts, which are produced by Han Xing's horse farm, the whole body is brown and yellow, and the mane is white, although the endurance is much worse than Han Xing's "Electricity", but compared to the common war horses in the Westeros continent, it can already be called the existence of the king of horses.
Robert caught up with the Earl of Fair, who were retreating in the distance, and it was afternoon, the sun was shining, and Robert was on the backlit side, so that Robert stunned everyone on the other side when he appeared.
Robert rode a brownish-yellow white-maned warhorse, wearing glittering plate armor, an apricot-yellow heraldic burqa on the outside of the plate, and a black buck on the chest of the burqa, wearing a crown on his head, solemn and proud, with his front hooves raised, like the king of deer.
Coupled with the one-to-one ratio of the oversized all-metal antler helmet on Robert's head, the sunlight shines from behind Robert, so that it gives people the illusion that Robert is the sun, or the sun behind him seems to have become the halo on Robert's head, making him as dazzling as if he was descended from heaven.
It is no wonder that the natives of the Inca Empire saw the Spanish colonists and found their armor shining in the sun, so that they thought that the Spanish colonists were messengers of the sun god, so they did not dare to attack them, and they were killed by the Spanish colonists.
Religious superstition kills people! However, at this time, Robert enjoyed the other party's god-like gaze, and the Earl of Fair's side had to raise their heads if they wanted to look directly at Robert, but the sunlight behind Robert pierced their eyes, so that they only dared to sneak a glance at Robert.
What's more, Robert has innate divine powers, wielding unimaginable weapons for ordinary people, a heavy sledgehammer, and to put it mildly, if there is a Norse god belief in the continent of Westeros, they will definitely feel that Robert is like the reincarnation of Saul.
With a heraldic shield in his left hand and a sledgehammer in his right, Robert rode his horse and shouted, "Where is Landon Fell?" I, Duke Robert Baratheon, Duke of Storm's End, the rightful lord of the Stormlands, have arrived, and I am not yet ready to come out to greet you! Robert rode around the world, and everyone who saw Robert didn't dare to look at him for more than two seconds, he was a hero!
