CHAPTER XLV
An hour later, the lagging baggage team arrived with a heavy equipment team accompanied by the giant team.
William's Sentinels, who had been released to the south that he had neglected before, also returned quickly.
The scouts reported that there was no sign of an attack on Horwood City, but a large number of Essos outposts were found outside the city, and the scouts who went out of the New People's Legion were chased and killed several times, and they could not reconnoiter more details, so they were forced to return early.
Hearing this, William and Kanter glanced at each other, and the two instantly understood that their previous guess was about to come true, and sent out more than 20 elite scouts, but they were forced back by the enemy's secret outpost, the only possibility is that the enemy scouts had already discovered their approach, and were ready for counter-reconnaissance.
William, who came from the Gripen Legion, was very familiar with the Ranger methods.
"The enemy knows we're coming. William laughed, "There are so many secret sentinels, which means that the enemy will not be short of troops, and the Essosians have come from the south and cut off our connection with the city of Horwood, which is really a presumptuous battle plan, they think they have eaten us." ”
"They reconnoitred the Iron Family's castle last time, and they knew that the castle was too small to accommodate too many troops to defend it, so they wanted to fight us in the wild?"
"Arrogant Essos, I heard that they are attacking the city, and field warfare is their specialty, Lord Kanter, please go and communicate with the Iron Family, arrange for our baggage team and equipment team to enter the castle, and let the Iron Clan entertain him better, just as his head knows which side of his ass is. After William finished speaking, he turned on his horse and roared forward, and went to deploy the battle plan for the combat battalions of the Chinese army and the rear army.
The Rangers mounted their horses and followed the Commander, while Kanter pulled the horses that were still grazing on the grass and headed towards the castle.
On the high hill of the figures, there was no one for a while.
There is always endless work in the world, and if you want to sort out everything and enjoy it, there is no way for people to be truly relaxed, Lynn looked at the sky in front of him calmly.
The arms strongly wrapped around the thin waist of the little rose Margaery, and the two sat on the back of the golden pig, the wind was very cold, but the two people who were close to the body were warm all over.
This is not the first time that Little Rose has ridden a flying demonic beast, the first time, she felt that she had been kidnapped, and this time she could even squint boldly and squint, silent in the wind to appreciate the feeling of flying in the air, and the cold wind could not stop her thoughts from being active.
Little Rose almost thought she had slept soundly, and was still in a dream, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself standing in the middle of a beautiful mountain cliff.
Margaery knew that there were many such abrupt stone mountains in the north, and she never thought that such rocky mountains would be beautiful in the past.
But at this moment, the little rose with a little sweat in her palms hugged Lynn on the top of the cliff and saw the most magnificent scenery since she was born and came to this world.
The undulating, winding mountains are one higher than the other. The undulating loess hills resemble the waves of a great flood. Some are petite and exquisite, like spring bamboo shoots breaking through the ground; Some are delicate and elegant, like water lilies waiting to be released; Some of them are majestic and the tops are covered in snow and ice, like white waterfalls cascading down. They rise from the ground, one after the other, in a thousand postures, inspiring people, like a soaring dragon.
And above those immovable dragons, a real golden young dragon soared into the sky from the seat of the dragons, trembling and whispering.
The man looks at his territory with a squint.
And the woman clings to the man's chest, snuggling up to the man's undulating chest, as if snuggling up to the whole world.
Of course, Lynn didn't just lead Little Rose to this empty mountain to talk about love on a whim, although he didn't need to let the tasks in the north do it himself, but in the process of advancing towards the goal, a slack monarch is often irresponsible for a group of subordinates who have done their best.
Actually, when Lynn rode the Hippriff and led the small gold bar out of White Harbor.
A guard of several hundred men escorted two carriages were also quietly crossing the White Blade River towards the west of White Harbor.
In the center of the procession, in the carriage at the head, the red-robed priestess sat alone, there was no brazier in the car, but a heat from her body could dispel the cold.
In the carriage behind, Lyanna Mormont and Miss Arya Stark sat across from each other around the brazier.
The air was mixed with the dryness of the cold air that expelled from the brazier and the cool air that occasionally penetrated through the cracks in the windows.
Both girls were from the northern part of the North, and the cold outside did not make them uncomfortable, but the bad atmosphere at the moment seemed to be relieved only by a crackling charcoal basin.
The two daughters are still in the budding age, and there is a girl next door who is just growing up, Arya due to her own growth experience, although there is still a trace of wildness on her face, but her figure is slightly more mature and plump, and Lyanna is already the head of the family, and under the encouragement of Lynn, she has a lot of participation in the affairs of the north, and the whole person has a powerful and heroic posture of a small ruler.
The stalemate did not last long, and after the carriage crossed a bumpy dirt road, it headed for the flat dirt road, and Lyanna took the initiative to break the dullness and tentatively asked, "Miss Stark, were you also invited by Dean Melisandre?"
In White Harbor, more people are now willing to call Melisandre the head of the academy rather than the priesthood of the Lord of Light behind her.
Arya gave Bear Girl a deep look and frowned, "I'm not called Miss Stark. ”
"Then I'll call you Arya. ”
"Not really. ”
Lyanna opened her eyes and stared at Arya's face, meticulously, "And who are you?"
"Nobody. ”
Lyanna was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then suddenly showed her young teeth and laughed.
Arya frowned, "What are you laughing at?"
The little bear girl suddenly straightened her body, like a mighty female general, her straight back was close to the carriage behind her, "No, you are not a nameless, Lynn told me about you, she said that you are studying in the courtyard of a thousand faces." At that time, you will not be faceless. ”
"Why?"
Bear leaned down and reached out to take Arya's hand. "Nobodies don't ask why, and when it comes to emotions, you don't look like a nobody, your eyes can't hide anything in that regard. You like Lynn in your heart, I can see it in your eyes, Dean Melisandre said that the magic of expelling crows needs a descendant who is willing to cooperate and can do everything for Lynn, and you took the initiative to jump out, which is enough to explain everything. ”
Arya lamely explained, "I'll do it because I owe Lynn a favor." ”
