Chapter 118: The Chessboard
A troop of thirty Horwood cavalry marched along the shoreline of Bite Bay to the outside of White Harbor.
The Horwood cavalry was supposed to be led by Mrs. Horwood, but it wasn't.
Newly officially recognized by Old Skin, who had given Bolton the surname of Bolton, the illegitimate son of Earl Luce Bolton, Peel Rams Bolton Jr., hid in the cavalry and lifted the cloak that covered his head.
He looked at White Harbor City not far away, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Ma'am, you are doing a good job. ”
"You said you would let me go when you arrived at White Harbor. ”
Dimpurpur Burton Jr. was silent when he heard this, but his eyes remained on Donala Mandalay's face. Slowly, that weird smile expanded in circles like ripples.
"Ma'am, do ......you want me to let you go? But I saved your life, you almost starved to death in Horwood City, you ate one of your fingers, and I gave you a piece of bread at the end, and you don't know how to learn about Entu now?"
This is a reversal.
This evil man.
Donnala's face was full of horror when she heard this, she was almost starved to death, wasn't the person who started it the demonic man in front of her.
If it weren't for the fact that Old Skinning had fled back to the Northern Horror Fort in advance because of the destruction of Twin River City, he would have encountered this scene and thought that he still had the value of living.
I'm afraid she's already dead miserably by now.
Little Peel Rams Bolton retracted his smile, this graceful woman's figure, bright eyes, soft and charming, but not lost to evil, make people feel like drinking mellow, it seems that the more people look at it, the more flavorful it is.
The little skin, who knows a woman's mind, looks at the towering gates of White Harbor City that is about to arrive in front of him.
He comforted the woman: "As long as you let the army of Mandalay send White Harbor City, whether he can capture the fishing village Harbor City or not, I will return Horwood to you, the Bolton family rules the North, I am my father's only son, will you suffer if you dedicate yourself to the future Lord of the North?"
Donala Mandalay's body trembled twice, and her face was terrified.
She let out a hysterical trill, "Your target was never Carlin Bay, you wanted White Harbor City, the Locke family in Old Town, or the Flint family in Widow Wang, all of them were played by you." Your goal is White Harbor, is the army of Earl Luce Bolton already heading south?"
Peeling Rams Burton Jr. smiled wickedly, and he was very fond of admiring the surprise of others who had planned him.
He reels in this bad taste.
"Madame may soon call my father the Duke of the Dreadful Castle, or the Guardian of the North. Carlin Bay is not in a hurry, take White Harbor City, and then a ruined city will not be captured. ”
Donala Mandalay's face was dejected, yes, the Bolton family betrayed Winterfell Stark for the Lannisters, and now is the perfect time for them to rule the North and earn the title of Guardian of the North.
Rams Burton restrained his smile and urged his crotch horse to ride towards White Harbor.
"Please keep up, my lady. ”
The man's urging voice was heard in the wind, and Donala Mandalay shuddered.
............
The cavalry outside the city of Carlin Bay, except for a sentry responsible for receiving the Tiger Regiment, were divided into four columns and all passed through the King's Road outside the city of Carlin Bay and assembled in the north of the city of Carlin Bay.
Joan Locke and Sir Flint on the walls were now gloomy and could squeeze out water.
And Lynn, who officially entered the northern section of King's Road, looked no better at the moment.
A three-eyed crow died, and a living one appeared.
"Is this a trick?" Duncan asked in confusion as he rode to Lynn's side from a distance, looking at the crows in the dusky sky, and then at the one in front of Lynn.
Lynn shook her head, "No...... But I don't think it matters. ”
He looked at the Guards Legion Cavalry and the Cavalry Light Cavalry of the Cavalry Regiment gathered around him.
He already had a premonition that a huge chessboard was enveloping him, and maybe even he was a key piece in the game.
His army was now all at the north and south ends of Carlin Bay, and the territory that had been planned to return from Carlin Bay City via White Harbor and the Old Town now seemed to be not so simple.
The fishing village harbor of his own territory was on the right side of White Harbor and the Old Town, and his army was divided on the left.
If you think about it all, it's easy to see what's wrong.
Fishing Village Harbor is now surrounded by enemies on three sides, whether it is the old town due west, the city of White Harbor to the northwest, or the widow hope on the east coast, all of which seem to want to prevent themselves from returning to the north.
If it's just their own idea, Lynn shouldn't worry too much.
But a northern city controlled by the Bolton family, Mrs. Horwood has also joined the chaos, which is worth pondering.
Such a mysterious and meticulous layout can only be made by a person with God's perspective.
Lynn looked up at the sky.
The black crow circled, staring at the earth.
Lynn pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Shifu, your light cavalry stays on the north side of Carlin Bay, and when Rodat's army begins to attack Carlin Bay, you are responsible for intercepting it." ”
"Yes, my lord!" Shi Fu asked, "Then my lord, where are you going?"
Lynn's deep gaze looked northeast.
"White Harbor is the central axis of everything, and since those people want to drag us south of Carlin Bay, I'd rather go north. ”
Lynn gritted her teeth, "Duncan, herald!
"Yes, my lord!"
In the darkness of the night, a mighty army set off from the east gate of White Harbor and galloped eastward.
It is the territory of the northern upstarts, the Lynn Rothschild family, in the direction of the fishing village port.
The Earl of Mandalay sent an elite unit of White Harbor to prepare for a night attack on the Fishing Village Harbor Fortress.
News from the ravens from the Riverlands, and persuasion from his cousin Donala Mandalay to enter the city, made him determined to take action against Lynn.
The grain around Twin River City was loaded by dozens of wagons and transported from the Neck Wharf to Lynn's territory.
This news is enough to make the Mandalay family excited.
However, what the Mandalay family of White Harbor City did not know was that at the moment when the White Harbor army left the east gate.
A raven took off from White Harbor City and flew thirty miles north of White Harbor City, in a dense forest east of the lower reaches of the White Blade River.
In the dense forest, in a temporary military camp.
There was a commotion, and a soldier grabbed the raven that had landed at the fence of the military village, took out the letterhead at the crow's feet, and hurriedly sent it into the Chinese army's tent.
In the tent, Luce Bolton sat in the center, and on the desk in front of him was a map of the entire North.
In all fairness, according to his original plan.
The army of the Horror Fortress should not have moved south to White Harbor so quickly, because the Mandalay family's loyalty to Stark was not as sincere as it seemed.
He could have been persuaded to make the Mandalay family submit to him after being officially canonized as Duke of the Castle of Terror in King's Landing, and becoming accustomed to the role of guardian of the North.
But the upstart on the East Coast, the Lynn Rothschilds, is on their way back to the North.
This left him with little choice.
It's better to strike first than to reach an alliance between the Mandalay family in White Harbor City and the fishing village of Harbor Lynn.
The squire placed the letterhead in front of Earl Bolton's desk.
Luce Bolton adjusted his seat, slowly spread out the letterhead, and as his eyes scanned the handwriting on the letterhead, the corners of his brow suddenly appeared with joy.
He stood up and said loudly to the outside of the account: "Pass the order, and the whole army will pull out the camp." ”
