Early morning.

Through the hazy mist, you can also see the flag behind you fluttering in the wind.

The Drunkard Tower is adorned by the Sunmang Banner of the Karstark family, fluttering under the Icewolf banner, the Children of the Forest Tower is adorned by the Amber Broken Chain Giant, and the Gate Tower is topped by the Stark Banner alone.

Jones, under the banner of the Icewolf, set off early in the morning with more than 500 cavalry and the Scorching Guard.

The reason why he is so active is that he sincerely thinks about the northern realm, and under the nest, there are no eggs.

The second is that he also wants to accumulate experience before the war, otherwise it is unknown how much strength he can exert when he really reaches the battlefield of 10,000 people, but he has not even experienced a war.

......

The horses stumbled on the soft, muddy ground, and at first they were very slow.

Later, when it turned to King's Road, the speed immediately increased by an order of magnitude.

It was nearly noon that the Twin Rivers came into Jones' sight, the base of the Frey Family River Ferry Lord.

The Green Fork River here is deep and fast, and the Frey family has been spanning both sides of the river hundreds of years ago, and has become rich on the fees paid by those who cross the river.

The passage they built was a massive, smooth greystone arch bridge wide enough for two carriages to walk side by eye.

The Weihe Tower stands in the middle of the arc bridge, and its archery holes, killing holes and iron gates overlook the river and roads.

It is said that it took three generations for the Freys to complete the arch bridge, and when it was completed, they built wooden forts on both sides of the river, so that no one could cross the river without their permission.

Now that the wood has been converted to stone, the Twin Towns – two square, ugly but sturdy castles with almost identical appearance on either side and arched bridges crossing them – have guarded the ferry for hundreds of years.

It has towering domain walls, deep moats, and heavy oak-inlaid iron gates.

The entrances on both sides of the bridge are located in the well-guarded inner city, with bridgeheads and iron gates on both sides, and the middle of the river is protected by the Weihe Tower.

With just one glance, it was clear that the castle in front of him could not be quickly attacked.

The walls are full of spears and swords and large bows, every pheasant and arrow mouth is deployed by archers, drawbridges have been raised, and gates have been lowered.

The gates of the city were shut, and the latches were fastened.

......

"Rona Stone, you go and call the door. Jones instructed the good-looking knight to the side, perhaps because Jones had let him go during the jousting before, and the guy had been very convinced of Jones ever since.

"Yes, sir. ”

Saying that, Rona drove forward, but before he reached the city gate, he heard a squeak.

A side door suddenly opened, and a wooden plank bridge stretched out across the moat, and a dozen knights came towards them under the banner of the Twin Towers with a silver-gray background.

Apparently all of them are members of the Frey family.

In Jones's eyes, their helmets were as funny as old man's hats, and combined with their lanky size, they all looked like weasels.

One of the old and tired "weasels" stepped forward and said sharply, "My father has sent me to greet you, and I dare to ask who is leading this team?"

Jones raised his mask and politely replied, "I'm Jones Amber, the leader of the Stark family's cavalry. At the invitation of Lord Tully, go to Riverrun......"

"No one asks you what you're going to do," Jones could finish before Jones could finish his sentence when he was interrupted by a shriek.

"You," Jones was so rudely interrupted that he was angry, and though he had little reputation, he now represented the entire North.

Because of historical reasons, the Tully family's control of the Riverlands is not as strong as Stark in the North and Lannister as in the West, and he also knows it, but what he didn't expect is that the Frey family doesn't even have the surface etiquette.

"You're not qualified to talk to our Frey family yet, peeing with something green. The other person then screamed.

As soon as the other party's words fell, Ti Mei quickly rushed out, and the white knife flashed, and it was about to slash through the frightened eyes of the 'weasel'.

"Ding!"

The sharp knife is blocked by the black heavy sword.

"It's good to be there," Jones sighed in his heart, and although he was angry, reason told him that killing someone else's house was the worst outcome, and that it was a 'coming'.

"Master!" Exclaimed Timus angrily, puzzled by Jones's obstruction, and anyone in their tribe who dared to talk to him like that would kill him immediately.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

The knights on the opposite side all drew their swords at this time, and the sound of weapons clashing and bows and arrows was heard on the city wall.

Jones shook his head at Timei and said, "You go down first, now is not the time." He didn't mean to blame Ti Mei, who was so crazy that he even gouged out his own eyes, and it was good to be able to converge like this.

Then Jones pulled down his metal mask and said to the frightened old weasel, "Do you know that you have insulted not only me, but also Lord Stark and Master Tully by doing this?"

"I'm Stevren Frey, son of the Marquis of Walder, and you can't kill me. He squealed.

"That's up to you to behave next, if you are rude and provocative, I will kill you at all costs. Jones said as he lowered his sword.

"You won't. There are now 4,000 strong soldiers in Twin Rivers, and this is our Frey's territory. If you dare to do so, all the people under your command will die. Stevren had recovered by the moment, at least his tone was not shaking.

"At least you'll die before me, I promise. Jones said solemnly.

"That's it, it's useless to talk too much, you can leave as you like, but don't think about crossing the river from our twin cities. He squealed.

Perhaps the seated horse felt Jones' anger and began to shake restlessly, and Jones drove it around Stevren, his gaze condescendingly all the time.

How Jones wanted to slash him.

"You can kill him, anyway I have twenty-two sons and seven daughters. Suddenly, an old voice came from the city wall.

Jones looked up and saw another 'weasel'-looking old man on the city wall, carried by several people, lying on a couch.

"So you're the Marquis of Wald Frey?" Jones asked.

"Yes, want to cross the river and let someone who is qualified come and talk to me, now you can get out. ”

"I represent ......"

"I still represent the king, the ones who don't have any hair have learned to scare people, and I've been through more wars than you've ever heard. Before Jones could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wader's irritable voice, his voice a little choppy, as if he was about to breathe at any moment.

The old guy is in his nineties.

"Let's go!"

Jones ordered, not even threatening language before leaving, and revenge was not something to be desired.

At the same time, he also felt this deep insult for the first time, before relying on the name of nobility, wherever he went, others still had at least superficial etiquette, and now the 'weasels' made him realize that when a conflict occurs, only strength can make others talk to you about etiquette.

......

There was a rumbling rush, but it was noticeably much more chaotic than it had been.

"My lord, where are we going now, are we going back?" asked Rhona Stone, confused.

"No, we go down the Green Fork River, the water is deep upstream, and there are always places where there are low levels or shoals downstream. ”

"But my lord, the chances of encountering the Lannister army down there are greatly increased. ”

"Do we want to go back like this? The cavalry alone can't attack the city, so I just chose to put up with it, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of battle. ”

After saying that, Jones shouted to the cavalry around him, "Go down, meet the Lannisters, and kill them." ”
