Carlin Bay.

The City Gate Tower, the best-preserved of the three.

Robb Stark had gathered all his vassals, and the news he had received not long ago had made him restless.

Big Jon took his agitation to his eyes, thinking that he was only a child under the age of sixteen after all, and coughed heavily, drawing everyone's eyes to himself.

"Young wolf lord, the news came back from Little Jones, let me tell you. Big Jon took the initiative.

"Hmm. Robb breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Things are good and bad, and the old fellow of Twin River City Wade seems to be not prepared to cooperate easily, and he stopped Jones's cavalry troops, did not let them cross the river from the city, and said that if he wanted to cross the river, let the qualified people go to him. ”

When the Earls of the Northern Realm heard this, they couldn't help but talk about it, Twin River City has an important geographical location.

"What's that old guy doing with Wald Frey?"

"Isn't this obvious, the Duke suffered, hid in the castle by himself, and found an opportunity to replace him, don't you often think so?"

"I ...... I'll your mother. The old earl's face was flushed from the ridicule of the man next to him, and he gasped for breath.

"In that case, it's not exactly bad news, it's just a matter of waiting for the price to be sold. "There is an earl who lives for himself.

"Wade has more than 4,000 troops in his twin cities, and if we want to do it, he'll have to do it sooner. Big Jon reminded loudly.

"That doesn't sound like a good option anyway," Robb began, "The Freys are vassals of the Tullys, not of us, the Starks, so he rejects us, nominally. In addition, our northern border is dominated by cavalry, and there are not many siege tools, if you want to storm Twin River City, I am afraid that the casualties will be not small, and if you are caught by several Lannisters who find the right opportunity to flank it, it will be even more dangerous. ”

"But the Earl of Mandalay sent a message that he had met my mother and was on his way to Carlin Bay. Her mother was the eldest daughter of the Tully family, and Wald Frey would have listened carefully to her words. Robb added.

Everyone nodded, basically acquiescing.

"And when Little Jones went south from the Green Fork River, he met Bamford from the west who was burning and looting in the Riverland," said this, Big Jon couldn't help but grin, "Little Jones directly killed Bamford's eight hundred cavalry, and then successfully crossed the Green Fork River, and now maybe he has reached Riverrun." ”

The counts all gasped, the family that can gather eight hundred cavalry is one of the few in the north, but so many cavalry were killed by a fledgling little Jones?

"And how many casualties do we have?"

Big Jon grinned even wider, "Not much, not much, there are only a dozen or twenty casualties in total." ”

This is not much, it is already negligible.

"This can't be!" retorted Lady Maggie, the ruler of Bear Island.

Luce Burton, Lord of the Horror Castle, shook his head, saying that he didn't believe it.

Earl Karstark didn't refute it, he felt very brave for Jones since the day of the joust, but unfortunately his only daughter Arrie Karstark was already engaged to someone else, otherwise Jones Amber would also be a good choice.

Although it was not the first time that little Jon had heard the news, he was still uncomfortable at the moment, how could his weak brother do such a thing, even if he admitted that Jones had changed a lot, he shouldn't have changed so much.

"Is this really a stupid big guy doing?" Daisy, a female warrior on Bear Island, is also qualified to be an observer because she commands a thousand infantry, and her first reaction when she hears such a thing is that she is very unconvinced, and the stupid big man obviously looks down on herself.

Sheehan always had a cynical smile on his face, and when he heard such news, he couldn't help but sneer, "This is all Jones himself said, who knows if it's true?"

"Anyway, this is the truth, the wounded soldier has returned, if you don't believe it, ask yourself. Big Jon looked at them in astonishment, and little Jones did give himself a long face, and he didn't know where the little one was now.

Of course, it wasn't that Big Jon cared about his son's safety, but he was very excited at the thought of being able to lead troops to kill the enemy, knowing that he would be a cavalry captain himself.

......

Also unbelieving is Tywin Lannister.

Tywin Lannister, who is both Duke of Castle Rock and Warden of the West, is in his fifties, but he is as strong as a young man in his twenties.

Even when sitting, he still appears to be tall, with long legs, broad shoulders, flat lower abdomen, and thin but strong arms.

As soon as his thick blonde hair began to thin out, he ordered his barber to shave his head bald.

Duke Tywin was a resolute man, so he shaved off his lips and chin as well, leaving only his sideburns and two thick golden beards from his ears to his chin.

Such a resolute person, at this time, the pale green with golden eyes was incredulous and a little dazed.

"That's eight hundred cavalry," he said through gritted teeth, "so many cavalry went, and you came back alone?"

Eddie Bamvert shook his face in fear, facing Duke Tywin, almost as terrifying as facing a real lion, he said with a crying voice, "It was the Frey family in Twin River City who did it, and the person who killed my father was Stevren Frey, they first pretended to take refuge, and then they attacked us, and I escaped with great difficulty." ”

He didn't know how many times he had memorized this passage along the way, and he said that he was sad, and began to play freely, "Originally, they planned to kill us all, so that no one would know that they did it, but pity the knights of my family, they fought hard to take me to break through, and then I jumped into the Green Fork River......"

In the end, Eddie Bamvert completely lost his face and threw himself at Tywin Lannister's feet, "Lord Tywin, my father and the cavalry recruited by the family have all been killed, and they have died for the Lannister family! ”

Duke Tywin's tormented face was beating at Eddie's crying like a woman, but he was a very sensible man, and he knew that this was not the time to reprimand the poor man, which would chill the hearts of the vassals.

"And what are you going to do?"

"Lord Tywin, I want to go back and have a baby first, leave my bloodline, and then recruit a group of cavalry in my territory before I come to help my lordship. Eddie still didn't get up, and said with tears in his voice.

"Let's go, let's go. Duke Tywin waved his hand in relief.

Add also withdrew from the camp with relief, he swore that he would never enter the battlefield again in his life, and that the honor of a knight and the bravery of a battle were all lies.

Eddie's courage had long since been broken, and now he just wanted to escape back to his castle and never come out again.
