Robert put the guy down in his hand, and the terrified woodcutter ran away.

But the faces of the four did not soften, because things were getting more and more complicated.

"There must be some misunderstanding here?" Seaworth habitually touched his beard, if there really was any black hand behind these Chaos people, it was a trick to lure the enemy now.

"Anyway, we're going to catch up with them!" Stannis seemed to be the leader of the four, and he now faintly revealed the aura of a leader.

Without a moment's hesitation, the group followed the traces left by the expeditionary force's march towards the east.

It was extremely difficult to walk in this endless white wasteland, although the snow had stopped, but the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, which also concealed the actual road conditions below, the deadliest of which were the dark rivers that flowed through the cracks in the stones, and the traveler's thick warm clothes were enough to drag them to their deaths.

But the poor road conditions also had the advantage of slowing down the army's advance, and the quartet finally caught up with the expeditionary force in front of the mountains to the east.

Stannis found that his archers were at the rear as usual, and that none of them were lost, and it seemed that Barrow IV had the same skill in managing the army as his eldest brother.

Seeing the army that was still intact, the tense strings in everyone's hearts relaxed.

"Thank you for carrying me back. Stannis turned to his old nemesis, Vane, and said that this guy was not at all as much as he was last time, but was much more honest.

But Vane didn't understand his apology at all, and walked directly into him and walked towards his troops, it seems that this guy has a clear distinction between public and private, and is still hostile to himself in private.

Seaworth also saluted him and said goodbye, "In that case, I must also go back to His Excellency Enrique and report to him what happened this time." ”

Stannis nodded at him, this news is enough to make the Garcia family pay attention to it now, it is no longer the corpse of the peasant family who is like grass mustard in their mouths, but the entire village and the nobles in the castle are all destroyed, if this is not enough for the Duke to deal with, then it is estimated that only the end will be able to move him.

It seemed that there was a dispute at the front of the expeditionary force, which caused the army to never move forward, and the tired Robert took the time to make a pillow out of snow and lay down and snor, the noon sun was still quite warm on his body.

"What's going on? how did you end up here?" Stannis walked towards Barrow, who was second-to-last, he didn't like the feeling, especially knowing that there was an army of Chaos people roaming around them, and the insecurity that had always been with him.

Although Barrow was happy to see him, he still answered his question seriously, "Yesterday we received information that someone saw a group of black shadows marching on the snow, and the Marquis Enrique ordered an immediate pursuit, so he drove without waiting for you to return......"

"This is child's play!" Stannis angrily scolded, this unconscionable advance is 100% a taboo.

Several of the frightened lords around him looked at him with annoyance, but when they could see who was roaring, they swallowed the expletives back.

Barrow shrugged helplessly, after all, this kind of thing is not something that a small character like him can control.

Suppressing his anger, Stannis asked in a low voice, "So what's going on now, why stop here and not go on?"

The big man pointed to the cliff ahead, through which only a narrow valley passed.

"Isn't this the only way, you have to go through the valley to catch up with that mysterious army, and a few lords are afraid that there will be an ambush on the opposite side, and it will be troublesome to block us in it and fight us, so they first sent a scout through the canyon to the opposite side to reconnoiter the situation. ”

It's a bit of a brain. Stannis walked to the entrance of the canyon and observed, he looked up at the cliffs on either side of the valley, like a stone wall that had been slashed by a knife, there was not a trace of grass on it, and according to common sense, no one could lie in ambush on it, unless the enemy could stick to it like a gecko.

After half an hour of basking in the sun, Stennis who was crouching at the entrance of the cliff and was about to die of boredom faintly saw a figure walking towards him, and he immediately stood up alertly, but the others seemed to be relieved.

"The scout has finally returned. Enrique waited impatiently, and he found his childish voice and shouted, "How is it, are there any enemies in the canyon and on the other side?"

Hearing his voice, the scout stopped at a distance, waved his hand to indicate that there was no ambush, and then turned and walked back.

Enrique muttered a little angrily: "I'll just say it! There can be no ambush, a bunch of cowards, wasting so much time! Now, everyone hurry up and go!"

Because of the long wait, most of the soldiers began to cook lunch, but almost everyone threw away their food and prepared to set off immediately, and the entrance to the canyon was too narrow, so a large number of men and horses were piled up there, and the team could only move slowly.

Stannis and his men undoubtedly stayed behind, but it was Barrow and his men who grabbed a team in the middle and back.

After another half an hour, only half of the expeditionary force had entered the canyon.

This time they didn't move forward in the order of numbers, each lord wanted to quickly lead their people out of this ghost place, although they had not seen monsters, but the whistling sound coming from the valley rush made everyone feel uncomfortable.

In the crowd, Barrow, the big silly man, was happily shouting at him, "Stan, I'll go first, let's see you on the other side!"

Stannis felt ashamed, but waved at him as he wished.

Suddenly, his hand stopped in mid-air because he had an extremely serious problem in mind!

That's why the scout should have returned to the team after reporting the information, but why did he reflexively walk into the canyon again! Unless......

A bad feeling had haunted him from the moment he returned to the village, and now it had reached its highest height, and from the very beginning, they had been led by the nose, and the ultimate purpose of such a struggle was undoubtedly to lead them into the valley.

Although it was more than ten degrees below zero, large drops of sweat quickly seeped out from Stannis's head, and it only took a second for him to instantly understand that the so-called scout was not the original one at all, they had been tricked!

Stannis then shouted with all the strength of his life.

"There's an ambush!" 21010
