Chapter 21: The Turmoil in the Council Chamber (I)

In White Harbor City, the needles in the council hall of the lord's mansion can be heard, and in just two days, many lords from all over the north have rushed to White Harbor City, waiting to discuss with Lynn, who is about to return to the north, about the great crisis that the northern land is facing now.

At this moment, the vassals were silent.

Old Hill, a scholar in White Harbor City, sat behind the table under the high platform in the hall, closed his eyes and recuperated, the old god was there.

Lyanna Mormont, the Fishing Village Harbor Clerk and Acting Lord, sat in the corner closest to the door of the council chamber, and couldn't help but crane her neck from time to time to look in the direction of the entrance of the hall.

"Lords, the Guardian has returned, and the cavalry of the Guards Regiment has just arrived at the West Gate of White Harbor, and Jimenez, the former captain of the Longbow Battalion, the commander of the garrison of White Harbor City, is meeting him at the West Gate. ”

An announcement guard slammed open the door, hurriedly pouring a touch of life into the dreary council chamber.

The current Earl of Mandalay, the lord of Horwood, heard the report, and his convulsive left hand was subconsciously clenched, showing that he was not at peace in his heart.

In less than half an hour, the iron guards who came to the hall to report one after another changed waves, and Lynn was getting closer and closer to the White Harbor City Lord's Mansion.

The atmosphere gradually depressed.

Count Taoha, the lord of Torun Fangcheng, simply stood in front of the huge appliquΓ© window, pushed open the closed window and took a big breath, gasping for breath, letting the wind wash his face cold, the atmosphere in the hall really made him feel uncomfortable all over, and his heart seemed to be pressed against a boulder.

It wasn't until he saw from the window that in the courtyard of the Lord's Mansion, several horses appeared from the main entrance, and a daunting young man appeared, that he hurriedly turned his head and shouted in the direction of the gathering of several lords behind him, such as Harding Tower, Seal Bay, Cold Ice Bay, Sable Hall, Houguan Town, and Arazuka Tun.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

"Lord Lynn, it's ......!"

When everyone in the council hall heard this mouthful full of old man's thick phlegm, they all looked sideways, and nearly half of the lords of White Harbor gathered in the north, and then they looked at the door with eagerness, waiting for the appearance of Lynn, the lord of the north.

Fifty or sixty lords were relieved from their anxious emotions, among them, the Oak Shield, the Oak River, the Ancestral Wasteland, and the lords of the Queen's Gate were even hiding behind the crowd, squeezing two steps forward in a panic and coming to the front of the crowd.

As soon as Lynn turned over and dismounted in the courtyard, two guards hurriedly stepped forward, took the reins of his warhorse, and led him to the stables of the lord's mansion not far away.

The captain of the White Harbor City Guard, from his post in front of the guard's council chamber, trotted into the courtyard and explained to Lynn the gathering of the lords of the northern realm in the council chamber.

"Hmph, it's not so lively when labor and management hold a vassal meeting, and that's all these guys have to offer. ”

Lynn snorted lightly and grumbled a few words, waiting for Han Niu to catch up with a dozen or so strong men of the Gripen Guard.

Only then did he beat his somewhat dirty sleeves, looked up at the bronze door of the council hall on the steps ahead, and strode up with a meteor.

After a commotion in the council chamber.

The ministers sat down one by one, and Lynn didn't have time to wear the armor, so he put on the delicate leather armor and walked straight through the narrow passage in the center of the hall, and slowly walked up to the high platform under the gaze of the stars and the moon.

"You've been waiting for a long time, sit down!" he whispered, and no matter how many people in the huge chamber could hear clearly, he sat down on the large oak chair with a cashmere blanket that was extremely large.

The atmosphere in the hall is condensed.

It was only at this time that the old Lady Hill opened his eyes, and Lynn gave a salute quietly, and under the signal of Lynn's chin, he turned his face to the lords of the various families who were sitting quietly in the hall and said: "Lord Guardian, on the way back to the north, I have learned about the shameless invasion of the Essos, and I have also understood your worries. ”

The Earl of Mandalay sat in the front row, looked left and right with his head held high when he heard this, and saw that most of the eyes of several lords were dodging, and he cursed in his heart, and took the lead in getting up and singing to Lynn Shili on the high platform: "My respected guardian!"

"Oh, Count Mandalay, long time no see, how are you doing in Howood?" Lynn politely replied.

"Thank you, my lord, Horwood City is fine at the moment. However, my lord, you must also know the current predicament of my Howood City, the thousands of troops of Essos had launched a siege battle against the castle three days ago, and the Legion of the Legion of the Terror Castle in the north was able to provide timely support, which saved the castle from disaster.

It's just that now that the Essos are backed by the Rammen port, landing thousands of materials and personnel every day, and the situation on the east coast of the entire north has been eroded. ”

Lynn on the high platform restrained his expression, and after listening, he just said lightly, and when he knew, he didn't say anything anymore.

Lynn's cold treatment made the Earl of Mandalay a little embarrassed, he couldn't figure out what Lynn meant, and he didn't dare to attack in front of Lynn, but opened his mouth slightly, looked away, and sat down again with an uneasy expression.

Then Gabbert Glover, Lord of Deepwood, stood up and greeted, "I have met Lord Lynn de Rothschild, Lord of the North, and on behalf of the people of Deepwood, I apply for a military order to summon the people of the Northbound to form an Eastern Crusade Army, strangle the invading army of the Free City-States and the Essos who entered the North, and only by uniting all the warlike soldiers of the North can the enemy be defeated." ”

Lynn was still noncommittal, took a cup of warm ale from the tray handed by the servant of the lord's mansion, and took a shallow sip of it, "You mean, you want to form an army in addition to the Gripen Legion?"

Gabbert said, "Yes, my lord, most of your army is in the Riverlands at the moment, and we will not be able to deal with the mad Essos, except for a new legion belonging to all the Northerners. ”

Dealing with these cunning nobles a lot, Lynn immediately smelled a hint of conspiracy from the other party's words, and quietly sighed, intending to perfunctory the past.

His eyes suddenly saw Roberto Glover sitting next to Gabb, and his eyes suddenly changed his mind.

Robette Glover, Gabert's younger brother and heir to the Grove family in Deepwood, was tall and thin, and although he was young, he was already a young father of two children, one of whom was still in his mother's womb.

He had a well-defined face, grayish-brown hair, a sword hanging from his waist, and a crimson cloak buckled over his shoulder with a heavy silver buckle in the shape of a steel armor and iron fist.
