Chapter 0606 - Master of Conspiracy and Loyal Man
The Lord of the Valley, Robert Arryn, was only eight years old, sickly and mentally slow, and his mother, Lady Rysa Tully, was regent and ruled the Vale under the name of Duke Robert.
The nobles of the valley, big and small, were all the only ones of Lady Rysa Tully's horse, until Littlefinger came, and the valley began to become uneasy.
However, no one had the power to prevent Lysa Tully from remarrying, and of course, no one could stop Lysa Tully from choosing whom to marry.
In the end, she chose Petyrberg the Littlefinger, and all the suitors of the Vale nobility became losers.
In order to prevent Littlefinger from taking power in the future, Count Jonroyce of Runestone secretly formed the Alliance of the Righteous and prepared to force Littlefinger out of the Vale by force.
The plan is close to rebellion!
Rysa Tully was unaware of this, but Littlefinger had already gotten the news.
Eradicating the bronze Jonroyce is imperative!
Faced with 'Littlefinger, who has been baptized by the deceit of Lille in King's Landing', the nobles of the Vale have made a fatal mistake: contempt.
They are still stuck in the stereotypical view that Littlefinger is a sheep poop adult. For Littlefinger, who has no fertile territory, no people, and no military power, the great nobles of the Valley look down on him at all.
Littlefinger, but he defeated all the love competitors, won the heart of Lysa Tully, and announced that he would be officially married in seven days.
Some nobles chose to stay in Eagle's Nest City to attend weddings, and some nobles began to leave one after another.
On the first day they chose to leave were Bronze Jon, Count Cobray, and Count Redver, and the next morning there were even more nobles who chose to leave, and when they descended, Littlefinger asked them to stay.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is unfortunate news that the Magic Mountain raided Runestone City the night before yesterday, killed the heir of Runestone City, Sir Andarous, and captured Miss Yasina Royce, yesterday morning, he swept all the vassals of the Royce family on Runestone Island and captured them, if the Magic Mountain did not receive the submission documents from the Vale today, he will land anywhere on the eastern coastline, and raid a family on the plains of the Valley at any time. Stay, ladies and gentlemen, we need to discuss what to do. ”
There was a brief silence that even the air froze, and then the sound exploded in the hall of the Moon Gate. The nobles were very excited, some went down the mountain to fight, some cursed the magic mountain, some blamed Littlefinger, in short, there were all kinds of voices.
Little Finger watched coldly at the aristocrats' quarrels, sat down and drank the comforting warm milk, without saying a word.
At breakfast time, drinking milk is good for your health!
In the end, the main battle faction prevailed, which was dangerous because the magic mountain had a lot of hostages, but they were the hostages of the Royce family, and they had nothing to do with most of the nobles.
"Are you sure you want to go to war?" Littlefinger motioned to the maid to add honey to the milk to make it more palatable, and gestured for the maid to stir the honeyed milk more.
"We want to see Lady Ryssa Tully. "There are nobles who propose. They disdain to talk to Littlefinger about 'big things in the valley', which feels like Littlefinger is the lord of the valley.
"Madame is sleeping, Duke Robert was not well last night, and both mother and son slept late. Madame has given me carte blanche to deal with this matter. I'm a very talkative and negotiable person, and as soon as you're sure of going to war, I'll order the nobles of the Vale to assemble their legions and go to war with the Magic Mountain. If you want to negotiate peace, I will pick the most suitable person to negotiate with the Magic Mountain. Although Madame has entrusted me with full responsibility for the affairs of the valley, it is the adults who really call the shots. Little Finger took the honey milk handed by the maid, and took a small sip of it, the taste was moderate and comfortable, and he smiled at the maid in return.
"There can't be a war. "A slightly old female voice, but full of majesty. Countess Anya Weywood, the patriarch of the Weywood family, got up early and arrived at the Moon Gate Hall. The nobles who decided to stay for the wedding of the Lady of the Valley got up late, and the nobles who wanted to go down the mountain got up early.
"The Magic Mountain has taken Rune City, which is equivalent to a declaration of war. Mrs. Anya, do you think there is a shortage of warriors in the valley?" a nobleman was aggressive.
"Lord White, if you want to send you to death, I won't stop you, please go down the mountain and lead the soldiers of the White family to attack the Magic Mountain. Those few soldiers of yours are not enough for the Demon Mountain to cut and kill alone. “
Baron White blushed suddenly.
Lady Anya has a high prestige in the valley and is one of the eight nobles. The Weywood family is second only to the Royces in strength, and now the blood gate of the Vale is garrisoned by the lady's second son, Sir Donalwewood.
The generals who can garrison the Blood Gate are the strongest in their families, and their martial arts and bravery are also recognized by the valley. Before Donald, General Vale was the famous Blackfish Brynden Tully, which shows that Donald's talent is not generic.
The Blood Gate is the most important defensive gate in the Valley, and there is no one. Successive Valley generals have been famous generals.
"There really can't be a war. The voice of a Tampaton knight rang out through the other side door.
Tamperton in Nine Star City is invincible, and the adult men of the whole family are knights, which is the only knight family in the valley, and is famous for its bravery and good fighting.
"If there is a war, Royce's Runestone City and the entire Runestone Island will be destroyed. I'm sure Magic Mountain can do it. The Tamperton knight walked out of the side door, came to the Moon Gate Hall, and stood with Countess Weywood, "If the Magic Mountain wants to attack the Valley Plains, who knows from which point he will land? Who will be his next target?" The Valley Plains are hundreds of miles long, some families are still in the mountains, and the Magic Mountain has more than 10,000 soldiers, if they are all broken, what should we do?"
"That's a good point, Tampton Cavaliers. Littlefinger stood up, "Maybe the next target of the Magic Mountain is my Five Finger Peninsula, the Five Finger Peninsula is by the sea, there is no danger to defend, and you can occupy it if you land, you must know that there are more than 300 goats on my peninsula." Littlefinger said playfully, and his frivolity displeased many nobles.
"But maybe the next target of the Magic Mountain is the Heart of the Night, or the Red Base hundreds of miles away, or the Iron Oak City, or even deep into the valley, and it is not necessary to raid Hongge City, even if he suddenly appears under the drawbridge of the Moon Gate Fort in the middle of the night, I will not be surprised. Do you remember Randolph Tully, who was clearly hundreds of miles away, suddenly appeared in front of Randolph, and then defeated all of Randolph's cavalry, and killed Randolph Tarly and his heir, General Dickentari. Lord White, your bravery and military talents are more powerful than the famous generals of the Seven Kingdoms, Randolph Tali, or are you the Earl of Randolph stronger?"
A narrow smile crept up the corners of his mouth, causing Lord White's neck to flush.
"The night attack of the Magic Mountain has defeated our most powerful Royce family, even if we gather the strength of the whole valley, where will the Magic Mountain land, and who will attack the castle next, can anyone tell me?
Master White was silent, hating Littlefinger to the bone.
"How long will it take for us to assemble the legions of the whole valley? Lord Tampaton. ”
"Lord Duke, it takes a day to gather the soldiers in the castle of your lords, gather all the soldiers in the territory, and gather the military forces of the valley, all kinds of logistics, horses, grain and grass, it will take a month. ”
"Whoever can defeat the 10,000 soldiers of the Demon Mountain with only one thousand or three hundred soldiers in his castle, stand up, I will immediately give him the glory of a pioneer, and immediately order him to lead his troops to attack Runestone City, make meritorious achievements, and glorify his ancestors. "The tip of the little finger is sour, and the words are as sharp as a knife.
The people in the hall were angry, but no one spoke.
Littlefinger's words are hard to hear, but they are true. The legion of the Royce family, the most powerful of the army, has been killed by the Magic Mountain and occupied Runestone City, and the remaining soldiers of the most powerful Lady Anya family are less than 3,000 people, and no family can defeat the Magic Mountain alone. To gather all the valley forces, there can be more than 20,000 elites, but this will take at least a month, and it will also need to have a decisive battle with the Magic Mountain in an open field.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if the Demon Mountain is running around, his cavalry is fast, and his troops reach the territory of any nobleman, this nobleman can only be tortured and killed. All he had to do was pick two or three more of our nobles to crush, take the castle and take the hostages, and then we would have to agree to whatever he wanted. Littlefinger said slowly, "My opinion, my lords, is: after losing the Bloody Gate, don't compete with the Magic Mountain attacking from the eastern coastline, let's make peace!"
"Lord Duke, perhaps we should listen to Lord Royce. Templeton said in a deep voice.
"Your opinion is good, Knight Templeton, Lord Royce will return to the Eagle's Nest City tonight to discuss the rescue of his daughter Yasina Royce, we just need to wait patiently for a day, and when everyone gets up early tomorrow morning, we can see Lord Royce in the Hall of the Moon Gate. Little Finger said lightly.
His painless look is always an abomination, and his narrow smile is always resentful, but everyone can only endure it. No matter how unhappy you are with the perception of Little Finger, you can only accept it first. Although everyone naturally resents and hostile to Littlefinger's words, every time, everyone discusses it to the end, and they all find themselves walking on the advice given by Littlefinger.
What the hell is this?
In the middle of the night, the hanging basket bell of Eagle's Nest City rang wildly, and Royce and the others were raised up by the hanging basket one by one, and they hurried up the mountain, and with the help of mules to the snow line, they changed to walking, and for a day and a night, Mia Shidong brought the adults back again. When all the people were hoisted from the entrance of the ladder to the Eagle's Nest, the dawn of the east appeared, scattering gold all over the Eagle's Nest City.
Littlefinger instructed the maids to cook bacon soup, the cooks to bake bread, all kinds of roasted meats, and milk, honey, and fruit to fill the long tables in the dining room.
Littlefinger sat at the master of the long table, holding steaming toast in his hand, the honey dripping from it and landing on his plate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have worked hard, in fact, just let a raven come up in Yuemen Fort. What the adults want to do, tell me, and I do everything I do. Littlefinger laughed.
"We're going to see Lady Lyza. Bronze Jonroyce said in a gruff voice.
"Madame and Lord Duke are a little unwell, they need to rest, all the affairs of the valley, no matter how big or small, whether it is government, military affairs or maritime affairs, Madame has been entrusted to me with carte blanche sumptuous, do you need me to show Lord Royce Madame's orders?" Littlefinger nodded at the Bachelor, who took out a piece of paper from his bosom......
"No need to read it!" said Count Royce, "the Devil's Mountain has gone to war, my lord, your little trick of verbal submission to deceive the Devil's Mountain has failed. I've never seen such a stupid idea. Runestone City is occupied by the Magic Mountain, and you have the main responsibility, Lord Petyr. ”
"Yes, my lord, I only made a small suggestion, but you are the ones who voted for it. Littlefinger smiled.
His smile always had a hint of sarcasm, a hint of intolerance, a hint of playfulness and a hint of ill-will, and all that remained was arrogance. This made Royce furious. His little daughter is still in the hands of the Magic Mountain, and Rune City has been occupied by the Magic Mountain, so I don't know what the money and food that the family has accumulated for many years have been ruined by the Magic Mountain.
"The Devil's Mountain humiliated the valley and sent troops against us, my heir was killed, my daughter was captured, and my vassals were captured, but you are gloating here. Royce stepped forward and snapped.
"Don't make a lot of noise, watch your words and manners, this is Madame's restaurant. Little Finger said lightly.
Royce tossed the plate in front of him in front of Littlefinger, and the plate shattered. One of the soldiers dodged in time to block Littlefinger, debris splattering onto the armor.
Little Finger gently patted the soldier's shoulder, causing the soldier to step away, and smiled, "Sir Rosobrunn, Count Royce dares to be rude to me again and kill him." “
"Yes, sir. ”
A sturdy man with rough skin like tortoise-stripes, and skin as black as a lowly farmer, stood at the door of the dining-room in armor, and replied respectfully with his hand on the hilt of his sword. The nobles noticed that it was a strange guard, but Petyr called him Sir and he was not an ordinary soldier, but he looked like a farmer who had been doing rough work in the fields for many years. He had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead, and the skin on his face and hands was dark and rough.
Rossobrunn walked into the dining room and stood behind Littlefinger with his sword.
One of the knights beside Royce stood up: "Lord Rossobrunn?"
Rossobron looked at the knight and said nothing, like a sculpture.
He had killed someone in King's Landing, but he was rescued by Lord Petyr and swore allegiance to Petyr, who arranged for him to take care of the bare and empty Five Finger Peninsula, and this guy came to the Five Finger Peninsula by boat, where he raised sheep and fished for a living, and guarded the so-called territory for Littlefinger.
Littlefinger will send a boat to deliver supplies to the Five Fingers Peninsula at a fixed time. But the war was interrupted for a long, long time, and Russell Buren stayed on the desolate peninsula to fend for himself until Littlefinger reappeared on the peninsula and brought him to the Eagle's Nest.
In addition to herding sheep and fishing, Russell Buren practiced swordsmanship on the island. His swordsmanship was as strong as his loyalty, but the hard life of the Five Fingers Peninsula in the past few years had worn away his aristocratic and knightly demeanor, and precipitated the appearance of an old farmer.
But Russell's age is not that old! the sea breeze, the waves, and the harsh living conditions make him look more than a decade older than he really is.
"Russell Brun, what did Lao Tzu ask you?" said Royce's knight slowly to his feet.
Russell was still motionless, his gaze was calm to the point of almost dullness, his hand was holding the hilt of the sword, very relaxed, and the relaxed hand had the muscles to relax, so that he could draw the sword as quickly as possible.
