Chapter Twenty-Three: The Turmoil in the Council Chamber (Part II)
Count Gallbert Glover was completely overwhelmed, his eyes looked at the other nobles present in confusion, and seeing that no one spoke for him, he turned his gaze to the Count of Mandalay, who had been deflated at the beginning.
Now that the Mandalay family has been transferred from White Harbor to Horwood City further north by Lynn's generals, they have recently had a close relationship with the Glover family in Deep Limburg, and the two have exchanged trade and commerce, and are almost semi-allies.
Wendell Mandalay had dealt with Lynn several times before he succeeded to the earl, and knew that Lynn had always been strong in matters involving the North by relying on the unrivaled strength of his Gripen Legion.
However, he never expected that now under the tremendous pressure of being invaded by the Essos in the north, Lynn would not back down in the face of the petitions of so many northern vassals at the moment.
Seeing that Gabbert locked his eyes on him, Wendell Mandalay secretly scolded his ally for being too stupid.
Who is Lynn?
With just a few years of recuperation and development in a fishing village port, he took advantage of the fall of the Stark family to defeat the ambitious Bolton family in one fell swoop, seize the northern border, and seize the giant crocodile of Mandalay House White Harbor City.
The widow hopes that the two unconvinced leaders of the old city are still hanging on the heads of the two cities southeast of White Harbor as spicy noodles.
Having already had a premonition that Gabbert, the lord of Deepenburg, was afraid that he would become the next earl of the old city, Wendell Mandalay was in a sad and angry mood at the moment, more disgusting than eating cow dung.
He stood up tremblingly, and looked at the red-faced and expectant Deepwoodburg Gabbover.
Trying hard to squeeze out a smile on his face, he said with a spring breeze on his face to Lynn, who was expressionless on the high platform: "There is enough strong army of the Gripen Legion in the north, and the Lannisters are not the opponents of the Gripen Legion, and those Gentiles are taking advantage of the adult's legion to go south to the Riverland, so they dare to make a mistake in the north, in this case, I mean, it is better for the Lord to mobilize one of the cavalry teams in the Riverland to go north for reinforcements, as long as the Gripen Legion heavy armored cavalry team returns to the north, those Gentile natives in Essos will inevitably flee when they hear the wind." β
Lynn shook his head without hesitation and said, "The battle between the rivers is in full swing now, and it is a matter of survival strategy in the north, and the Gripen Legion of the southern expedition will not return to the north. β
"This ......" Wendell Mandalay's face darkened, his lips trembled, and after pondering for a long time, his smile was deformed before he trembled, and said in a tone that wanted to cry without tears, "I was inconsiderate...... Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, anyway, the Essos can't cross the end of the river and can't become a climate...... It's better that everyone still guards their own territories, and I, Howood City, will not let the foreign barbarians cross the river from the end of the river. β
Lynn looked at Wendell Mandalay's aggrieved appearance, and laughed at this guy for being quite knowledgeable, so he took a step back and smiled: "Lord Earl Mandalay, don't worry too much, although the Gripen Legion of the Southern Expedition cannot be dispatched, I still have a ready-made legion in the north that can be used." β
Beargirl Lyanna S. Mormont had been sitting quietly in the corner and kept secretly looking at Lynn, she found that Lynn's smile was very strange and familiar at the moment, she remembered the trip to the outside of the city, Lynn burned the gathering place of the children of the forest in the Valley of Frost and Snow Tooth with this smile, and also with this smile, let his subordinates slaughter the fierce blue-eyed monsters, and he also laughed like this, he put the unruly Cypriot Wildlings into the Great Wall and assigned them to his northern new people, although those new people could only operate in the new land, Lynn temporarily did not allow them to go to the territory further southγ
In her heart, she felt that Lynn was a flawless person, although all the nobles present, but Lynn's temperament was very different, he did not dislike the farmer who farmed the land, did not dislike the craftsman who worked, in order to help the poor, he brought a large number of potatoes from Essos, so that these unknown food, in the land of the north, blossomed and bore abundantly.
However, Lynn is a decisive person to kill, the family of the Marquis of Frey in Twin River City, the Bolton family, he has a knife in his hand, and he does not hesitate to kill at all.
seized their own capital on the spot in White Harbor, but the Mandalay family still had to be accompanied by a smiling face and be cautious.
She especially appreciates this.
In the final analysis, the person who fell out of the bear still advocates force in his bones.
The women of Bear Island have never been vegetarians.
In the old days, the Iron Folk or Wildlings from the Frozen Shores used to raid Bear Island. Because the men on the island were responsible for going out to sea to fish, the women had to take on the mission of fighting the invaders.
This has also created a unique warrior culture among the women of Bear Island.
The doorway of the Mormont house is carved with a woman in a bear's skin, a child drinking milk on one of her arms, and a battle axe in her other hand. Like the other women of Bear Island, the women of House Mormont learn to defend their homeland in the event of an invasion by the Iron Folk or Wildlings.
Ke Rao is a girl who grew up in a fierce warrior family, and she still admires Lynn's decisiveness.
After all, there is still more than a notch between a warrior who has the courage to raise his sword to fight a bear, and a ruthless man who has the courage to raise a butcher's knife against the powerful Bolton family and the Frey family who run rampant in the riverlands.
At least it's too much worse in terms of pattern.
Such a person should not have sat in the same hall as the lord of the northern realm, who was full of recklessness, but not only did he do it, but whether it was the nobles of the northern realm who controlled the big castle or the ordinary small lord of the village, they all sat in the hall peacefully, and even many people have been in this lord's mansion since they entered it...... No, after entering White Harbor City, they naturally faded away from their reckless temperament, and everyone began to be very reasonable, at least before fighting fists, everyone tried to reason first.
This was unimaginable before, and among the seven kingdoms of Westeros, it made sense that only the people in the north were disliked by the other six principalities.
Lyanna was staring at Lynn intently, when a woman sitting next to her suddenly asked, "Miss Mormont, where do you think the Lord Guardian intends to get troops from to resist the invasion of the Essos?"
Lyanna woke up from thought, and turned her face to look at a tall, straight, and dignified woman beside her, with half brown and gray hair, tied in a widow's knot at the back of her head.
After searching her memory for a while, Lyanna remembered a glimpse of this Madame de Balballet Leswell.
She was the widow of Earl William Dustin and the Countess of Aratsuka, and her father was one of the most powerful nobles in the North, the Earl of Leswell.
The Lyswells used to be the hardcore of the Bolton family, and since the fall of the Bolton family, they tried to swear allegiance to Lynn Rothschild, but they were repeatedly refused, but fortunately, the Leswell family had no intention of raising troops to rebel in the Streamlands, and finally Lynn agreed to have a place for his family among the northern vassals.
But the Earl of Leswell's Stream Land and his daughter, the Barren Mound where the Lady of Balballet in front of him, were gradually marginalized in the North.
