Chapter 0693: The Great Army of the Valley Surrenders
On the east bank of the Trident River crossing, marching tents stretched for dozens of miles, all kinds of flags were unfurled, and military supplies were piled up into a small hill. The cavalry is strong, the infantry is strong, and the men shout and neigh, converging into a river of sound, competing with the sound of the endless flow of the Green Fork River. At night, the campfire is like a star in the sky, dense, stretching for miles, lighting up the night sky of the Green Fork River.
In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, a tall stag lion flag was erected, which was the royal flag of Tomman Baratheon I. Next to the King's Banner stood the banner of the Red Smoke Beast Ice Sword, which was the banner of Gregor Cregan, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Force.
At the head of the king's banner and the commander's banner to the right is a blue eagle crescent flagβa sky-blue eagle soaring above a white moon on a sky-blue background. This is a flag from the Aylin family in the Vale. Although the Eagle's Nest has been burned, in addition to the branch of the Arryn family outside Seagull Town, there is another more intimate branch in the plains of the valley with the fragrance of birds and flowers, which is a weak branch passed down from the blood of Jon Arryn's sister, and basically has no strength and prestige.
However, as the continuation of the only bit of the Erin family's close bloodline, after the Magic Mountain burned down the Eagle's Nest City, this branch suddenly became the only orthodox of the Arryn family.
Even though the branch families on this valley plain only sent twenty-three soldiers and one knight, they were still qualified to fly the Blue Eagle Crescent Banner.
At the top of the left is the Pebble Rune Banner - a pile of pebbles between two lines of runes on an orange background. This is the banner of the Royce family from Runestone.
The Royce family's Rune City was the most powerful family in the valley before it was attacked by the night of the Magic Mountain, and it was the head of the eight major families. When Jonn the Bronze and his sons were all killed, Jon's only daughter, Yassina Royce, succeeded Ruejeste and married the adopted son of the Mountain, the Knight of Langdon Gar, and Yasina herself recognized the Mountain as her adoptive father.
The Royce family sent a thousand elites this time.
As the Royce family, which had fought against the Magic Mountain and suffered a heavy defeat, it was already all the capital of the family to be able to gather a thousand elites again. Yasina Royce herself did not go on the expedition, but sent Ser Damon Shet βββ Seagull Tower, Royce Kovat, Baron Coldwater, Baron Uther Torrett, Lord of Ashenvale, a jazz and two barons, led the 1,000-strong elite soldiers of House Royce to the north in response to the Magic Mountain's orders.
The coat of arms on the second flag on the right is a black broken wheel on a green background. This is the banner of the Weywood family, one of the eight families of the Vale. Lady Anya Weywood, who was in charge of the Weywood family, like the Countess of Acena, did not go on the expedition herself, led by her eldest son and heir, Sir Morton Weywood. Lady Anya's second son, Sir Donald Weywood, was stationed at the Bloodgate, and her youngest son, Willis Weywood, remained at Iron Oak.
The Weywood family sent a legion of two thousand men, of which there were fifteen hundred elite and five hundred ordinary soldiers. As Lady Anya who was told some prophetic secrets by the Magic Mountain, she was the first nobleman in the Valley to take the initiative to send a team of 100 people to follow the Magic Mountain.
At the end of the last conquest of the Magic Mountain, when the Magic Mountain left the valley and returned to the west, Lady Anya sent the knights and soldiers of the family to follow the Magic Mountain. This sends a bold and special signal: to get close to the Magic Mountain.
Lady Anya was also the first to mobilize the soldiers of her family to prepare to follow the Demon Mountain to fight as soon as she learned that the Magic Mountain had tamed a giant dragon. She is a very shrewd lady, the first nobleman in the valley to take the initiative to hug the thigh of the magic mountain.
The second flag on the left depicts three flying crows on a white background, each clutching a blood-red heart under its claws. - This is the banner of the Kobri family in the city of Hearts. Since the family's most powerful swordsman, Lynn Cobray, was assassinated by unknown people at night in Iron Oak City, the patriarch of the family, Leonor Cobray, is not sad, he only cares about the whereabouts of the family's clan sword, the Valyrian Steel Sword, the Lady of the Void, but unfortunately, there has been no news of that sword, no one has seen it again, and no one has sold it at a high price on the black market. The Valyrian Sword Lady has mysteriously disappeared and has not been heard from since.
This time, the head of the Cobry family, Count Leonor Cobry, personally led the army, leading a thousand of the best soldiers of the family to join the army, and the city of Hearts was handed over to his third brother, Lucas Cobry, to manage. As a precaution, Earl Lynn has designated Lucas Corbray as his successor.
In addition to the eight major families in the valley one by one, there were more than 100 legions of all the minor nobles and middle nobles from the valley.
There were more than 100 large nobles, middle nobles, and minor nobles in the valley, and they gathered a valley army of nearly 30,000 people. There is no shortage of true warriors and warlike generals in these families. I must mention the Campadon family in Nine Star City - this family sent only 500 people, but this is a remarkable 500 people, and each of them is an absolute heroic cavalryman.
The Camparton family is a knightly family and is powerful.
There are also mixed families of mounted infantry in the army, as well as professional pikemen and sword and shield soldiers.
After the Magic Mountain burned down the Eagle's Nest, he returned directly to King's Landing, and did not ride a dragon to the castles of the nobles of the Valley, the news of the burning and collapse of the Eagle's Nest City was faster than the wind, blowing through every corner of the valley in an hour, and also reaching Seagull Town and the Riverland outside the valley.
On the very day that Lady Lysa Tully and Duke Robert Arryn were executed by the Magic Mountain, the nobles of the Vale began to gather their forces as fast as they could without receiving the order of the Magic Mountain, and began to march three days later, and they arrived at the crossing of the Trident River at the speed of a rapid march and set up camp to wait for the Magic Mountain to receive them from King's Landing.
After the fall of the Eagle's Nest, a symbol of the highest authority in the Vale, and the burning of Duke Robert and Lady Lysa Tully to the ashes by the Magic Mountain, the people of the Vale showed a rare consistency for the first time, and the conflicting nobles put aside their prejudices and coordinated their marching plans, and the soldiers' usually well-trained military qualities were vividly reflected in the rapid march. The little nobles also acted vigorously, in response to the order of the magic mountain, led the army out of the valley, and camped at the crossing of the Trident River. All branches and families are camped in separate places, and soldiers and knights will inevitably collide and rub each other, but they can all be dealt with amicably. The daily necessities of the army were piled up, and the carriages and ox carts were one after another, but tens of thousands of people were not in the slightest.
In fact, the hearts of Vale people are mostly close to Stark in the North, in addition to the Arryn family is a close relative of the Stark family, the Royce family, the Campparton family, the Redford family, the Lindley family, etc. are all related to the Stark family in the north. Some of them are still very close. At the outbreak of the civil war in 298 Aegon calendar, many of the Vale nobles had to send troops to help Stark fight the Lannisters in the West, among which the Royce family was the leader of the main battle faction, but in the end, the Vale did not send a single soldier because of the resolute opposition of the lord's wife, Lysa Tully.
The main battle faction has always lived a miserable life under the leadership of Lysa Tully.

Correct!
A metallic sound that resounded through the sky seemed to penetrate everything, the sound of the rolling river of the Trident River and the noise of tens of thousands of people were all suppressed, and at that moment, the sound of the river seemed to disappear, tens of thousands of people were silenced together, and the war horses were terrified. The soldiers raised their heads, and in the air, they saw a golden-red cloud flying like a big bird. - The Magic Mountain is riding a sheep thief. He was the first to arrive, and before Littlefinger and Melisandre came to the east bank of the Trident River crossing.
Looking down from the sky, on the east bank of the Green Fork River, densely packed, a piece of marching tents, stretching for miles. There were thousands of horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, lined up in a long black line. In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, the flags of the nobles of the valley were planted together and surrounded by the royal flag and the Klegane flag, and dozens of colorful flags were waving in the wind...... Bang bang......
Moshan's face was cold, but his heart was very useful. The effect of burning Eagle's Nest City was significant, which made his unsteady heart finally let go completely. Does this fully show that Ryza Tully has no prestige and true respect in the hearts of the nobles of the Vale?!
However, Demon Mountain believes that the reason is more due to the catalytic effect of the dragon's power, and of course, his cruelty in killing the entire castle of Eagle's Nest City is also indispensable.
It doesn't matter if you are a beautiful jade or a vulgar stone, the good and the bad will be burned!
Slaughter the city!
Lysa Tully's career of being in danger and being proud of her six relatives has finally come to a perfect end.
In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, stood almost all the generals of the valley nobles. This tent is usually empty and uninhabited, only the maids take care of it. When the noble generals had something to communicate, they came here for a meeting. To build this huge Chinese military tent, they actually prepared it for Lord Magic Mountain.
The sheep thief lowered his height, and his huge wings flapped into a whirlwind. Anyone familiar with sheep thieves will notice that the dragon's scales are even brighter than before. This has to do with the dragon's return to the skies and the release of its fighting nature, and the sheep-stealer's magical vitality is officially revived. And the sheep thief, who has revived his strength and combat talent, his scale armor is also rapidly becoming smoother and brighter.
Despite this, the magic mountain still can't use the dragon command of 'Fu Low' to control the sheep thief, and the dragon language of 'Fu Low' only belongs to the owner of the sheep thief: the castor dragon knight. Fu low, is the meaning of surrender, is the humility of recognizing the Lord, but the sheep thief is not surrendered to the Magic Mountain, nor is he humble, the dragon is the dragon, he did not recognize the Lord Magic Mountain, he is just a comrade-in-arms with the Magic Mountain.
However, in the eyes of people outside, the dragon is the mount of the magic mountain, and the magic mountain is the master of the dragon. This gave the Magic Mountain the greatest aura, and everyone was in awe everywhere he went.
The dragon fell, and those who could break free had already broken free, and those who could not have broken free all 'bowed down' and lay on the ground, their eyes full of humility and fear.
Moshan grabbed the dragon's horns and jumped off the dragon's back, his heavy body 'smashing' on the ground, making a loud bang.
There is no way, the dragon that will not 'bow down' is a small mountain, but fortunately, the arm strength and martial arts of the magic mountain are not bad, he grabbed the dragon's horns and went up and down the dragon's back, creating an unprecedented way to go up and down the dragon's back.
The dragon was so close that the threat of death was suffocating. The soldiers of the valley were all awe-inspiring, fearful, and excited.
More than a dozen counts, dozens of barons and hundreds of knights lined up in the valley to greet the Magic Mountain. They did not feel any discomfort about the action of the magic mountain jumping off the dragon's horn, on the contrary, they thought that the "wild" action of the magic mountain jumping off the dragon's back perfectly matched the fierce temperament and cruel character of the magic mountain.
The terrifying dragon was beside the Demon Mountain, and the eyes of the dragon flame were a dazzling golden red, like two huge rare gems. The dragon's scale armor reflected a golden glow, and the snort made the noble generals feel the heat rolling in.
The Demon Mountain's gaze scanned, majestic as a god, and the eyes of the valley generals involuntarily revealed awe.
Magic Mountain saw a thin guy wearing the crest of the Arryn family, this guy he didn't know the name of the guy was a close blood branch of the Arryn family, and strictly speaking, this guy had the inheritance of the valley. He dared to go north with the army, wasn't he afraid that the magic mountain would kill him?
The Demon Mountain is well aware of his notoriety, and it is estimated that the heir to the line of the Erin family is forced to follow him to participate in the war, because if this side branch refuses to come, he is even more afraid that the Demon Mountain will go to destroy the door.
Magic Mountain kills people, and it doesn't need any reason. The name of the Magic Mountain is already the biggest reason, and he will not have any taboos about killing the nobles in the jurisdiction in the name of the guardian of the eastern border.

In the ranks of more than 100 noble generals, Magic Mountain saw Count Shet in Seagull Town, Count Cobray in Soul City, and Count Redford in Red Bases...... There were also the Earls of Tollett and the Earls of Weywood...... As for the generals under Iron Oak City and Ruepstone City, the patriarch of the Royce family in Moongate Castle, etc...... For Magic Mountain, it is already the face of an old friend.
Demon Mountain's gaze swept over these valley nobles, among whom were his secret allies, he knew that the overall situation was in his hands, he saw the humility of the noble generals towards him, and saw the awe in everyone's eyes.
The Magic Mountain strode towards the middle of the nobles of the Valley...... Surrounded by the aristocracy, he was much taller than everyone else, like a chicken. The Magic Mountain walked into the Chinese military tent.
Outside, in the distant onlookers of the soldiers, the sheep thief suddenly flew into the air, his body and 100-meter-long wings spread out and rolled up the air current, forming a gust of wind, he swept over the heads of the people with fear on their faces, and the soldiers felt that the dragon claws that were close at hand seemed to fall on their heads in the next moment. In the horrified eyes of the soldiers, the sheep thief flying low suddenly rose high, and he quickly flew into the Mingyue Mountain Range.
The crossing of the Trident River is just outside the Mingyue Mountains, and the Green Fork River is on the left hand side of the camp, and the Mingyue Mountains are on the right hand side, and there is a forest and shoal between the mountains and the river, and a king's road separates the woods from the shallows.
The sheep thief flew into the Vast Moon Mountains on his own, and it is possible that he went to forage for food, or it is possible that he went back to see his lair.
The Magic Mountain sat down in the Chinese military tent and held the first military meeting of the Valley Legion.
The cavalry of his guard battalion, though one step ahead, had only just arrived at the crossing of the Trident River.
