Hundreds of archers crowded on the city wall, and the figures were watching, vigilant of the scene outside the city.

Lynn's eyes grew colder and he said what he was going to do, "We're going straight from the avenue outside of Carlin Bay. ”

Duncan didn't notice the change in Lynn's face, and was stunned when he heard this, and hesitated: "But...... This section of King's Road is too close to the walls of Carlin Bay, and if a large force of cavalry advances at the same time, it will become a live target for crossbowmen, and more importantly, the adults will put themselves in danger. ”

The strongest defensive armor among the Lynn cavalry is also the chain mail equipped by the Knights of the Gripen, and the light cavalry of the Snap Cavalry is very weak in the face of crossbowmen.

It is indeed unwise to advance in a dense formation under the cover of enemy fire.

"My lord, this seems a little too risky. Shi Fu groaned slightly, also a little puzzled.

"Yes. Lynn squinted, her expression a little grim.

Isn't it an adventure for the cavalry to brave the enemy's arrow rain and run sideways?

Lynn has always been cautious, never wanting to put herself in an overly sinister environment, and since realizing that the gods of this world seem to be spying on her, she doesn't even dare to use the ability of the system to overly challenge the rules of this world.

On the contrary, since his last assassination, he has been careful to hide himself in his most reliable army, never risking it alone.

But has it or they given up spying on themselves because of this?

No.

He looked up at the end of the line of sight of the Northern Avenue, the dead vines and old trees, the crows, and the ancient road west wind and thin horses.

On the ancient road under the twilight sky, a crow landed on an old tree entwined with dead vines, and was making a terrible wail.

Lynn swore that if the raven hadn't had three eyes, his name would have been written upside down.

What's the point of taking a little risk compared to the watchers who capture the Old Gods?

"Shifu, let all your cavalry pack their swords and crossbows, cover the passage of the guards through the gates of Carlin Bay, and see the big tree in the distance, Duncan, I want you to get there as fast as possible at all costs, shoot the crows from the trees down for me, even if you chase him to the ends of the earth. This time, it must not be allowed to escape!"

Lynn tried to restrain the anger in her heart, but the coldness and resoluteness in her voice were still transmitted to the two subordinates.

The two didn't say anything, they looked at each other and went to prepare.

Sir Joan Locke was the nephew of the Earl of Oulu Locke in the Old City, and after the death of the Old Earl's son Donner Locke, he was a popular heir to the Old Town.

The plan to seize Carlin Bay with the Flint family was the first initiative he initiated.

Since Lynn killed the Freys, the sensational effect caused in the north has probably been the most profound for the Locke family in the old city, as a neighbor of the fishing village port.

In just ten days, the forces of large and small families in the north continued to pass through the old city and arrived at the fishing village port.

They all went to the fishing village harbor to wait to make friends with Lynn, and many of them had no owner knights and their families to join them.

The old city, which was originally the largest city along the coast of Bite Bay, is now faintly overtaken because of the expansion of Lynn's territory.

As an old family that values inheritance, the Locke family definitely does not want a new force on the coast of Bite Bay to replace it.

This is considered the beginning of the family's loneliness.

Sir Joan Locke's suggestion to seize Carlin Bay was seen as a clever move by the Earl of Old Town.

Kalim Bay is an ancient city, and although it is now dilapidated, it is strategically located because it has long been controlled by the Ze people Reed family, and the poor Ze people have been rebuilding Kalim Bay.

The Korok family has been running the old city for dozens of generations, located downstream of White Harbor, and has accumulated a large amount of money thanks to the influence of White Harbor, the economic center of the northern border.

The Locke family believed that taking advantage of the emptiness of Carlin Bay and taking advantage of this strategic location would only take decades of business planning.

At the very least, Carlin Bay will be a fortified fortress comparable to the Twin Cities, and geographically a glorious city that completely guards the main routes to the north and south.

When the time comes, just collecting tolls will be enough to make the Locke family rise again.

As for the fact that Carlin Bay was taken by Lynn from the Iron People, Joan Locke did not care at all, although Lynn had a high reputation among the minor nobles and commoners in the North, but at the same time offended a large number of powerful nobles.

After returning to the north from the Riverlands, the patriarch of the Burton family of the Fortress of Terror, Luce Bolton, with an army of tens of thousands of skinners, immediately declared his hatred of Lynn.

The people of the Iron Islands also have a deep feud with Lynn, and despite their location on the west coast, the Iron Islands have now infiltrated the north.

In addition, they get the news that Lynn also has an unhappy entanglement with the Flint family, who is widowed in another important town on the East Coast.

Lord Mandalay in White Harbor also expressed doubts about the sudden rise of Lynn.

In this way, Count Locke was even more convinced that Lynn would inevitably collapse at the guns of many great families in the north.

Suppressing the upstarts is nothing new in Westeros.

"It's okay for him to stay in the Riverland, choosing to go back to the north is asking for his own death, what about the earl's title, he has offended half of the big family in the north, and this time he will definitely die. ”

Joan Locke looked at the cavalry outside the city and whispered to a knight of the Flint family beside him, his words full of sarcasm and jealousy.

Sir Flint's father was none other than Dilly Feitlin, who usurped the widow Count Wang's throne from the Countess of Flint.

He chuckled when he heard this, "This guy is full of ambition, after plotting to seize the ram gate of my Flint family's vassals, he refuses to return it, our father has led his troops to attack the ram gate twice, but he has not succeeded, I heard that there is a cavalry team of nearly 200 people and a garrison army recruited by the ram gate, and the combat strength is quite good." ”

Joan Locke comforted: "Don't worry, let's block Lynn's army in Carlin Bay for a few days, Lord Mandalay's army is about to go and smash his fort, and then we will fight you on both sides, and the Ram Gate garrison will have to surrender obediently under the attack."

His home fort used to be just a broken fishing village, but now he dares to recruit craftsmen and prepare to build a giant city.

If that port city is really built, I'm afraid that the trade business of White Harbor will be transferred to his territory, and now that Earl Lynn, don't look at the prestige, in fact, everyone is disgusted!"

"Sir Locke is right. Sir Flint chimed in.

When the two were still immersed in the joy of each other, the sound of tinkling copper bells came from the city wall.

A soldier of the Locke family, running into the watchtower.

"My lord, the cavalry outside the city seems to be preparing to pass through the city gates, aiming north. ”

Joan Locke suddenly got up and rebuked: "Then why are you still stunned? Go and inform the crossbowmen on the city wall, as long as you find those cavalry passing through the city, just let me shoot arrows! ”
