Chapter 26: Reflection
Little was known about the Fettling family, except that the countess had a young son who was now a personal guard with Robb in the Northern Raiders.
In between waiting for the noble woman's answer.
Lynn was also looking down in contemplation, and the thoughts in her head were spinning rapidly.
The situation is getting worse and worse.
For him, the Iron People hiding in the mangroves are also a great threat to him, compared to the strangers and ghouls trapped on the ships.
I ambushed their merchant ships and killed more than a hundred of their Iron Folk brothers, and I am afraid that I already hate myself at this moment.
Feeling the current predicament, Lynn's heart was also slightly shaken.
He reflected on whether he was too urgent.
A lot of things are simple.
In fact, his territory has not yet been famine, and with the treasures of the Three Sisters Islands, Lynn is fully qualified to choose a more secure way of development, such as going to White Harbor to buy grain, hiring refugees displaced by the war in Riverland, and cultivating a piece of grain production land of his own.
After all, the current fishing village port is just the existence of a small village, what is the use of exploding troops, what can you do if you really pull out an army of 1,000 people?
Participating in the Civil War?
No, it's stupid.
In addition to being eye-catching and pushing yourself into the spotlight, it doesn't seem to affect the overall situation.
The background of the big family in Westeros should not be underestimated, although he sympathized with Stark in his heart, but he really tried to change something, in fact, it was tantamount to using his mantis arm as a car, and his own weight was almost too far.
"Forbearance and development are my only options at the moment?"
Lynn opened her eyes with a bitter smile.
Countess Feitlin was silent at the same time, hesitating whether she should trust the young lord in front of her.
Although she was impressed by the strength of Lynn's army as she saw it at sea, it was still too weak.
Seeing the woman fall silent, Lynn couldn't help frowning, she didn't have time to spend here.
He slowly stood up, ready for Old Hill to see off the guests.
The countess suddenly showed a bright smile and said, "The Iron Islands came to the east coast to buy grain this time, but it was done in secret, and now there is an accident, the Fitling family, as the largest family on the east coast of the northern realm, whether we participate in it or not, with the character of the Iron Islands, they will rely on us." ”
Lynn sat back in her seat and nodded, agreeing.
But do you still want to blackmail me over this?
But then again, the Iron Islands didn't just blame you for putting a basin on your head.
After all, the current situation is really inseparable from your Fitlin family.
Others buy grain, you sell grain, no matter how you look at it, it's a win-win deal, but you people in Fetling directly lure the strange ghosts onto other people's merchant ships.
Such a vicious arrangement, isn't it a trick for others?
The Countess saw the disdain in Lynn's eyes.
She explained, "The incident of the strange ghost climbing onto the Iron Folk merchant ship is also a matter after the grain is loaded on the ship, and the incident suddenly happened not specially arranged by my Fitling family. ”
Lynn waved her hand, "You don't have to explain anything to me, Madame's ship didn't choose to enter the harbor just to escape the storm at sea, did you?"
The beautiful woman raised her eyes and made her words clear.
"Yes, you are very smart, I have seen the power of your territory's army at sea, and I have the idea to ask for your help. ”
"You mean to have my men escort you back to the Widow's Castle?"
"Yes, the blue-eyed monster blocked the harbor of the widow's hope, there are not enough people around me, you send someone to send me back to the city, after the matter is completed, I will remember your help. ”
Lynn nodded slowly, and said with a blank face: "For the Fitzling family and the Countess, the fishing village harbor is full of respect and is very happy to help, but the Iron People still have a group of remnants hiding in the mangrove forests on the north coast, and if I send the army to you, I will be in danger here." ”
Glancing at the female swordsman beside the woman, Lynn continued, "Besides, there is a group of blue-eyed monsters on the stranded ship. ”
The female swordsman couldn't hold back anymore again, and Lynn's hypocritical words made her very disdainful, and she interjected: "I see that you just don't want to help, madam, let's go, and go directly to White Harbor to find Lord Eel." ”
Lynn sneered when she heard this.
Most of the Mandalay family's forces in White Harbor were drawn to Robb, where did the reinforcements come from.
Just as Lynn thought.
The Fitling family was a vassal of the Stark family as the Mandalay family, and the Countess of Fitling was well aware of the current situation in White Harbor.
She ignored the female swordsman beside her, raised her head and raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled at Lynn: "What if I can help Your Excellency lure out the Iron Folk sailors hiding in the mangroves?"
"Ahem! That would be considered. Lynn replied with a pretended silence.
But I couldn't help complaining in my heart, my heart is waiting for you to say this, you said it earlier!
The female swordsman was a little anxious when she heard this, "Madam, the Iron Islands are ...... with us."
"Shut up!" the countess glared at her fiercely, as she seemed to be genuinely angry, "You've said enough today, and you must not lose the etiquette of the Fettling family in front of the nobles of the North. ”
"What kind of aristocrat is he, a small landowner in the countryside. Seeing that the woman was really angry, the female swordsman pursed her lips and muttered something in a low voice.
Lynn took their expressions to heart.
To say that these two women are just a master-servant relationship, the ghost believes it, but he doesn't have a habit of exploring other people's privacy, and he just smiles and doesn't get angry when he hears the words.
Next, Lynn and Mrs. Fitling briefly discuss the plan.
The meeting ended quickly.
This matter cannot be delayed for a long time, so as to understand it before it gets dark, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Watch as the Countess and the swordswoman leave in their carriage and disappear into the rain.
Lynn called for the Cavalry Soldiers of the patrol.
"Rodat and Harry Kane, who went to inform the port, saw the men sent out by the Fitling family ship, and rushed to the mangroves, and immediately took the horsemen of the port to find an ambush on the northern slope outside the city, and as soon as the horn sounded in the city, they would take people to the city gate to copy it, and remember that not a single iron man was allowed to be let go. ”
"Yes, sir!"
The herald of the cavalry regiment was ordered to leave.
Lynn called the chamberlain again.
"Go and inform Hood that the more than 50 archers of the Cavalry Regiment in the city will be under his command, and if you see the sailors of the Iron People attacking the city and fighting to the death, if you are wearing the clothes of the Fitling family guards, do not let the arrows go indiscriminately, it is your own people. ”
The squire promised to leave.
Lynn sat down in her seat, and when she thought about it, she didn't seem to have anything left, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
The people of the Fettling family had just done business with the Iron People, and although the strange thing was a trick for the Iron Islands caravan, there was a reason for it.
The Iron Islands guys, now hiding in the mangroves, drenched in the torrential rain, should not have imagined that the Feitling family is really going to kill them this time.
Hey, Lynn smirked.
The old bachelor Hill on the side saw a little way, did not disturb the little lord's good mood, and quietly left with the record book.
Lynn's current cavalry group, counting injuries, is about one hundred and seventy or eighty people left.
In the two battles between the Biting Bay Pirates and the Iron Mariners, the original 300-man system exploded, but now almost half of them have been lost.
However, the good news is that the explosive system has been upgraded to level 2, and all the cavalry regiments have been promoted to level 2 soldiers.
He still has more than 200 experience points on his account, plus a box of captured and unused pirate treasures.
The territory has expanded several times, adding a new Gulf Islands outside the jurisdiction of the Northern Kingdom, the Three Sisters.
From the emergence of the explosive system to today, it is worth more than ten days of hard work.
For the current achievements, Lynn has reason to be a little proud in the bottom of her heart.
Lynn plans to deal with the aftermath of the Iron Islands caravan and the troubles of the strangers.
Slow down the pace of development, the field that should be planted still has to be planted, and it is easy to overturn before the foundation is not reliable.
