The Bloodgate fell, but the process was completely different from what everyone had expected.

For reasons that Egger did not consider in advance, the elite troops he had planned to send into the mountains to pursue and subdue the Gaoshan clan tribes did not go well: these aborigines in the mountains took Grandpa Mao's tactical thinking to the extreme, and they were familiar with the terrain but did not attack, and they did not fight with the army loyal to Robert at all...... Thousands of allied soldiers entered the mountains for several days, but Leng did not capture half of the mountain clan members alive...... If this continues, the fifteen-day period given by Robert is not enough at all.

However, just when the execution of the plan is in a dilemma, Robb Stark's troops unexpectedly run into an old elder - Brindon Tully, the current lord of the Riverlands and the younger brother of Horst Tully, the only remaining patriarch of the Deer, Wolf and Osprey Alliance, nicknamed "Blackfish".

Due to his discord with his brother, Blackfish left Riverland and fled to the Vale years ago to join Ryza, and was later appointed by her husband Jon Arryn as a Knight of the Bloodgate to guard the entrance to the Vale. As Lysa Tully's own uncle, Blackfish certainly couldn't have rebelled against his niece - when the Alliance of the Righteous Mutiny, Brinnden tried to command his soldiers to repel the rebels but found that nothing could be done, so he decisively turned around and ran away, escaped through the secret passage inside the Blood Gate, and plunged into the Bright Moon Mountains. After hiding from the Gaoshan clan in the vast mountains for more than a month, he was lucky to meet Robb, a junior who came from the mountains.

After guarding the Blood Gate for more than ten years, Heiyu may not have much clue about how to break through this level head-on, but in terms of "how to detour to the back of the Blood Gate", how many people in the world can compare to this old guy?

......

It was indeed Egger's strategy that won the blood gate for Robert, but the biggest credit was actually a person who had never entered the coalition camp at all, let alone attended a combat meeting.

Brynden Tully escaped from the bloody wedding in the TV series, and in the original book, he also dived and ran away from Riverrun, which surrendered to Jaime Kae, even though the world of ice and fire has been turned upside down by the butterfly effect, his amazing escape ability can still shine, Iger thinks - he shouldn't be called "Blackfish", he should be called "Loach".

＊＊＊

After the Blood Gate was captured, it took half a day for the counterinsurgency army to take turns on the field, digging inside and outside at the same time, to clear the blocked passage of the city gate - this time was much shorter than expected, and Iger couldn't help but feel afraid when he heard the news: when Robert took the Blood Gate, he found that most of the inside of the blocked city gate had been dug open. From the mouth of the captive, they began to dredge the city gate on the day they saw the traces of the "scattered gang" of the counterinsurgency army, if the strange soldiers who went around did not meet the original "Bloody Gate Knights", or if the black fish led the detour and appeared a few days later, the coalition troops stationed in Taniguchi were likely to be attacked by the rebels at night!

It is conceivable that if a coalition battalion with tens of thousands of soldiers but different subordinates, and all officers, elite veterans, and knights are absent, if it is attacked by surprise, the outcome will be a rout without suspense, and even "innocent people" like Iger and Yuren may be injured or even killed in the chaos.

Fortunately, history has no ifs.

After the coalition took the Blood Gate, they unified their calibre: King Robert himself led his troops to conquer this unbroken danger.

Although it was true that "Blackfish, loyal to Lysa Tully, led his troops to retake the Bloodgate", although Robert was nearing the end of the battle when he reached the top of the city, and although His Majesty had not had time to kill the enemy to announce his surrender...... But Robert did arrive at the battlefield before the end of the battle, and the crown and stag flag that fluttered first was indeed hung by his own hands - the king, as the supreme commander of the counterinsurgency, had no problem if he had broken through the bloody gate.

Now that everyone has reached a tacit agreement, the direction of public opinion is determined: Robert got his wish and became the first king to break through the blood gate in a thousand years.

Iger didn't feel anything about it, it was just an empty name, what about him? wouldn't everyone be happy to make this faint king happy, and let him leak a little more to reward him?

......

More than 1,000 rebels stationed in the valley and at the foot of the "Giant's Spear" found that the Bloody Gate had been lost, and surrendered decisively without hesitation.

Only Eagle's Nest City remains, to reach it, you have to pass through a dangerous pass Moongate Fort, the owner of the castle is also surnamed Royce, fortunately, the Royce family of Moongate Fort and the Royce family of Runestone City are not the same, until Robert led the army to arrive at Moongate Fort, the lords here did not openly declare their support for the Alliance of the Righteous One, and the castle was not captured.

After passing through the Moon Gate, you can go to Eagle's Nest City, but you can only go up the mountain along a very narrow goat road, which takes half a day under normal circumstances, and the road will also be exposed to the long-range attacks of the three purely military fortresses of Eagle's Nest City and Dangerous Rock Fort, Snow Mountain Fort, and Changtian Fort, the good news is that the controllers of these fortresses have not joined the Alliance of the Righteous One, perhaps they have sympathized with and secretly supported the "rebels", but with the arrival of the Six-Nation Alliance army holding the Crown Stag Banner at the foot of the mountain, they have become loyal vassals of Duke Arryn.

Lysa Tully refused to believe that the "rebellion" had been put down, and still hid in the Eagle's Nest City and did not dare to descend the mountain, but with the food in the castle running out, no matter what, the counterinsurgency war that affected the Seven Kingdoms and lasted for nearly two months could soon come to an unsatisfactory end.

＊＊＊

The feast takes place in a field overlooking the Giant's Spear in the Arryn Valley, and during the day you can admire the mountains as the ghostly torrent of the "Tears of Alesha" runs down the towering western hills, like a shining silver ribbon hanging from the cliffs, contrasting with the dark rocks, shining in the sun.

In the evening, it became the scene of the largest bonfire carnival in the history of the Seven Kingdoms, and as soon as the blood gate was breached, the wealth, food and supplies of the Righteous Alliance moved out of the castle and hid into the Arryn Valley became the pocket of the counterinsurgency army—the few families involved in the mutiny were all the most powerful families in the valley, and the combined value of the booty was more than 100,000 gold dragons...... With so much money, I'm afraid that even the Duke of Aringu won't be able to take it out at once. Although it could not be compared with the real big guys like the Lannister and Tyrelll, it was more than enough to pay the army for less than ten days, and there was still a lot left to settle the score—and this wealth, with a wave of the generous Robert's hand, was all rewarded by the soldiers and nobles of the coalition army.

A king who is not short of money! Robert's popularity not only did not fall because of the poor battle in the early stage, but rose even higher!

......

After the reward and praise of the number one hero "Blackfish" Sir Brinden, the second hero Iger also stood in the center of the big tent, this time, not only Robert smiled at him, but even the princes of the six countries sitting around him stared at him with interest.

The more sensitive politicians could already perceive that peace between the Seven Kingdoms was in jeopardy—in the event of a major war, the odds of victory would be greatly increased if there was such a good man in the army who was good at making plans in the rear. What's more, this person is also the protagonist of a well-known adventure legend, and can fight with the famous Dorne "Red Viper" for dozens of rounds without falling behind?

A celebrity who is both civil and military, even if he does nothing in this era of bad things, just being in one camp is a huge boost to morale and a powerful deterrent to the enemy!

It's a pity that he's a night watchman, and no one can recruit him.

......

"The Alien Slayer," Robert likes to refer to Iger by this nickname, perhaps because he thinks it's cool, "although it was Sir Blackfish who led the way to the end of the Blood Gate, but your idea is indispensable, whatever you want, just ask, as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll satisfy you as a king!"

As long as it's not too outrageous, it's all for you!

This sentence sounded so arrogant, but it came from the mouth of Robert Baratheon, and its gold content was undoubted, and the originally noisy and messy tent suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the young man in black in the middle.

What would a night watchman want?
