Chapter 1: Surprise

Lynn was skeptical of the news from the traveler Ali Baba, not that he doubted the old man's loyalty, but as a latecomer, it was hard for him to believe that a big event that did not exist in the first place would happen suddenly.

There are many visions on the continent of Essos, maybe it is just a natural disaster caused by geological changes, in the era when the wisdom of the people is not blooming, ignorant people will worship a flower in the cold winter wax moon as a sacred object, and meteorites from the sky as a curse of the gods.

Lynn had just stepped out of the tent and was going to ride the Hippriff to the east coast to investigate the situation and find out how many Essos had arrived on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

There was a sound of horses' hooves at the camp gate, and several sentry figures rushed into the camp, but were soon stopped by the Guards soldiers guarding near the tents.

One of the sentry cavalry seemed to see Lynn's location from a distance, so he hurried over, and the sentry cavalry, covered in red leather armor, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I have seen the lord, and I have important information." ”

Lynn frowned, not in a hurry to ask about the contents of the information.

He first glanced at the sentry cavalry, and found that the man was covered in rain and dew, but there was not a trace of muddy dirt on his leather boots, so he asked, "Where are you the sentry cavalry who is responsible for patrolling?"

The sentry cavalry seemed to be in a hurry before returning to the camp, and their faces were full of redness, which as a cavalryman only occurs after a long sprint.

When the sentry cavalry heard Lynn's inquiry, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly lowered his body and replied respectfully: "Tell your lord, my subordinates are subordinate to the third echelon of the sentry camp of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment to patrol Luo, and they are responsible for the monitoring tasks along the Yanchang Town and Nuquan Water City. ”

It was the direction of the Trident's mouth into the sea, and Lynn sensed that something was wrong, so she nodded and motioned for the sentry to report on him.

"Well, tell me, what important information have you found?"

The sentry cavalry gasped for breath and said quickly: "There are nearly a hundred warships docked in the port of Nuquan City, and many of them are still slowly heading north, and it may not be long before they reach the Trident River Valley. ”

Lynn narrowed her eyes and said, "Is the battleship from the mouth of Crab Bay? Where did it come from, the northern valley or the southern bay of Dorne?

The thin monkey saw the worry on Lynn's face on the side, and drank in an accentuated tone, "Soldier, tell me more details, when did you see a hundred warships entering from the mouth of the Trident River. ”

"Uh, yes. The sentry gently wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and recalled it for a moment before he said: "My lord, we were the sentry team that crossed the river in the middle of the night yesterday, when the battle in the town had come to an end, and the sentry battalion received orders from Commander Duncan to patrol the area around the town of Earl Harroway for a hundred miles and along the upper and lower reaches of the river.

The main thing is to inspect the neighborhood for Lannister reinforcements.

At that time, the third echelon of the sentry cavalry battalion where I was set off from the ferry, and soon passed through Yanchang Town, ten miles to the south, after confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the town, in the early morning, when the rooster was about to crow, we arrived at a hill three miles north of Nüquan City, at that time, we found that Nüquan City a few miles away had been burned, it seemed that it had been looted by pirates and bandits, in order to collect more accurate information, we took advantage of the dawn and quietly arrived near Nüquan City, and found that the harbor of the small city was full of dense warships, but because the distance was a little far away and the sky was dark, it was not clear to see the appearance of the flying flag。

But ......"

"But what?" the thin monkey also realized that something was wrong at the moment, and hurriedly asked on the side.

"However, we found out that the arson in the city that we thought was that the city was attacked by pirates and bandits was actually a huge misunderstanding. From a distance, it looked like the city was on fire, not a city set on fire, but a bonfire lit by makeshift wooden stoves. ”

"Stove?"

"Yes, it's like our legion making a fire to rebel during the march and camping, but those stoves are very large, and the fire is in the distance and the city is like a burning city. ”

The thin monkey frowned, and said, "Then you said that there are warships going north to the Trident River, what is the situation?"

When his subordinates found out the situation and were about to lead the team back, the sky was already getting brighter, and at that time they happened to find dozens of warships docked on the periphery of the bay of the port of Nuquan City, and the direction of the bow of the ship happened to be upstream of the sea. ”

After listening to the full narrative of the sentry cavalry, the thin monkey looked at Lynn in amazement and said softly, "Look, my lord...... Could it be that the navy of the Vale has united with the Lannisters and is ready to support the town of Earl Harroway?"

Lynn's gaze had already returned to calm, and his starry eyes were as calm as water.

At this time, Lynn already knew roughly what was going on.

Those warships can't be Valley people, if the Valley people plan to attack the Gripen Legion, the most effective means is not to use the navy to flood into the Trident River to land, there is a steep pass in the hills of the Erin Valley called the Blood Gate, and there is a road beyond the Blood Gate, connecting the Valley Basin with the King's Road to the west, if the Eagle Lions want to attack the Eagle Lien Legion, they only need to send their Valley cavalry out of the Valley Gate from the Blood Gate, why use the navy to go around in a big circle.

"If I'm not mistaken, those are supposed to be battleships from Essos. Lynn gave her own judgment lightly.

The thin monkey heard the question mark on his face.

Seeing this, Lynn chuckled and told him the shocking news that Alibaba had brought back.

The thin monkey suddenly gasped, opened his mouth, and sighed for a long time, "These Essos people are really fast. ”

It seems that it should be the plan of an Essos nobleman who is familiar with the geography of Westeros from the Trident River, but the Riverlands in the Trident River Basin are now in the bag of the Gripen Legion with the successful crossing of Lynn, where can Lynn allow anyone to spy on the food in his bowl.

"It seems that we must hurry up to take the town of Earl Harroway and the city of the Twin Rivers, and the Riverlands are not in a hurry to annex them, but these two only ferries must be under our control. ”

The thin monkey nodded heavily, and then said with some worry: "My lord, then our northern border also has to deal with a lot of coastline pressure, I think that White Harbor City and Fishing Village Harbor are also indispensable to be remembered by the fleeing Essos." ”

Lynn sighed, "That's exactly what I'm worried about, I'll have to go back to the North myself." You immediately go and inform Duncan, let him hurry up and deploy, take the town of Harroway, the original follow-up mission of the first main army is canceled, and I will crucify the entire army here, don't let a single Essos warship go north, no matter how big the battle between the Essos and the other lords of the Westeros continent is, we just need to temporarily hold the three fronts of the Riverlands, Neck, and the North without losing. ”

The original follow-up mission of the first main force was to leave some of the main forces to garrison after the original plan was to take the ferry, and the other armies would sweep the cities in the hinterland of the riverland along the south of the river.

The thin monkey agreed and left in a hurry, but Lynn suddenly raised his head and looked to the south, only then did he realize that what he saw yesterday when the Agile came out of the king, the vision of heaven and earth in the sky of King's Landing may also be related to the advent of Essos.
