Chapter 0271: Valley Warriors Gather Ed Morale Battle
Eagle's Nest City, the reception hall, was packed with lords and knights from the Vale.
From the day the news of the attack on the Riverlands from the west reached Arryn Valley, the vassals of Arryn Valley were divided into two factions, one of which was dominated by Lysa Tully, the mother of Duke Robert Arryn, who pursued a defensive and did not fight, and the other faction was dominated by the Royce family of Ruejeste.
The main battle faction made up the majority of the vassals, and they were the most powerful families in the valley.
These families fought under the banner of Robert and Eddard in the Usurper Wars, and many lords and knights had experience in big wars. They believed in Eddard Stark's honor and ability to command battles, and many of the knights had been Robert Stark's subordinates during the Usurper Wars.
After these lord knights received the battle order from Lysa Tully, the main battle faction's lords Royce family of Runestone City, the Weywood family of Iron Oak City, the Weverdford family of Red Fortress, the Hunter family of Longbow Hall, the Belmore family of Hongge City, and Simon Templeton, the knight of Nine Star City, rushed to Eagle's Nest City as soon as possible, and the rest of the Vale families also came.
Only the Sunderland family on Three Sisters Island, near White Harbor in the north, some small families on the Five Finger Peninsula, and all the big and small families in Crab Bay did not arrive at the scheduled time. It is estimated that they will not come, and there will not be many soldiers from those families, some dozens of people, some one or two hundred.
It is worth mentioning that although Simon Templeton is only a knight, he and his fighters are the strongest. He had a thousand elite warriors, including 300 cavalry, and the most powerful lords of the valley would treat this army with three points of courtesy, and the great lords who were second only to Duke Robert Arryn were very polite to Simon Templeton.
The operational meeting was immediately held under the chairmanship of Eddard Stark, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.
Before, even with Lyza Tully's resistance, the main battle faction still occupied the majority. Now that Lysa Tully is behind the war, she has decided to carry out King Stannis's orders to support Eddard Stark in defending the East, leading the Vale army into battle. With Eddard Stark's status and prestige, no one raised objections, which also saved the vassals from arguing over who would be the commander-in-chief.
Although Will didn't say a word, his face was expressionless, but he was very happy to see this situation.
In the eyes of these Valley Knights and Lords, Will the Man in Black was insignificant, and no one noticed him. Everyone just looked at Eddard Stark's face, and no one scolded him for sitting in the wrong position.
He sat to the right of Eddard Stark, a very important position, a symbol of status and honor.
Despite his good location, Will is ignored by the arrogant knights and lords of the Vale.
The limelight of Mia Shidong, who everyone ridiculed and paid attention to, overshadowed Will.
Mia Shidong stood behind Eddard Stark and served as a close attendant. She stood alongside the captain of the North, Jory Kesso, and seemed to be a good match.
But from time to time, her gaze was only on one person—her lover—Lynn Cobray's squire: Michelle Redford.
Two young men flirt at a noisy battle meeting.
While the lords and knights were arguing loudly about the vanguard, scouts, offensive routes, logistical supplies, and ranking order, the two young men were immersed in a peek of affection.
It's just that their sweetness did not escape the eyes of Will, who was watching everything coldly.
Michelle Redford is really handsome, his body and temperament are first-class, and his family is not bad, he is a very old family in the valley, with the blood of the ancestors, Will learned from the side that Michelle is the first boy in swordsmanship among the children of the nobles in the valley.
Suddenly, Sir Lynn Cobray, who was Michelle's allegiance follower, burst into laughter.
"Duel?" Lynn Cobray laughed, "Lord Eddard, are you sure you want a one-on-one duel with Tywin Lannister to end this war?"
"The dueling challenge I sent out yesterday, if I lose, the Vale Army and the Northern Army withdraw from this campaign, remain neutral, and Tywin Lannister wins back his two grandsons, Tomman and Messira. "Eddard Stark is solemn, like the frozen ground of the North.
"What if you win?" laughed the knight lords.
"I won, Tywin Lannister surrendered, withdrew all Westside troops, swore allegiance to Stannis I, and the Westside Rebellion ended. ”
Wearing the 'Bronze Jon' engraved with ancient runes, Count Jon Royce smiled and said, "Lord Eddard, if Tywin fights, he will definitely ask you to increase the ante, and his incest-famous daughter Cersei will be added by him, not just the two children." ”
"Cersei murdered Robert and must be given a fair trial. "Eddard Stark is categorical.
Lynn Corbray drew the long sword at her waist, a Valyrian steel sword named Lady Silence, slender and elegant. This is the clan sword of the Kobray family, famous for the Battle of the Red Steppe.
The Lady of Silence was once in the hands of the Kingsguard Calvin Corbray during the rebellion of her noble bastard son, Daemon Blackfire.
In the Battle of the Red Steppe, the rebels and royalists fought each other, but on the entire battlefield, only the Lady of Silence of Calwyn was able to hold off Daemon Blackfire's Valyrian steel sword Blackfire.
The Black Fire Sword is the clan sword of the Targaryen family, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is not trivial.
As a result, the battle of the Red Prairie also became a personal duel between Calvin and Damon, the sound of the two swords clashing each other resounded throughout the battlefield, and the two men fought fiercely for nearly an hour, and finally Daemon Black Fire split Calwin's helmet, and blood flowed down, covering Calwin's eyes. Admired Calvin's courage and martial arts, Damon dismounted to help Calvin, and sent Red Fang to rescue Calvin and send him to the rear for treatment.
Damon's knightly actions were fatal mistakes, as they gave Brynden Rivers (later the Three-Eyed Raven) time to lead the Raventooth Guards to capture Weeping Ridge, and as a result, the chivalrous Daemon Blackfire was killed by the Raventooth Guard's indiscriminate arrows.
In the later Usurper War, Robert, Eddard, and Jon raised the banner of rebellion together, and the Lynn Corbray family chose to follow the rebel camp led by Jon Arryn and Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark in choosing sides.
His father was wounded in battle, and Lynn took his father's position of Lady of Silence and led his army to defeat an army under Prince Rhaegar and kill Prince Löven of Dorne, the famous Kingsguard. Later, when his father died, he passed it on to Lynn Corbray. This made his eldest brother Leonor Kobri always resentful and very dissatisfied.
The Silent Lady unsheathed, and the sword light flowed like a silver moonlight, illuminating Sir Lynn Cobray's handsome face, and winning the exclamation of the lords and knights who gathered together.
Lynn Corbray smirked: "Lord Eddard, I am willing to fight Tywin Lannister for you, cut off his head, if killing one person in a duel can end the Westlands rebellion, no one is more qualified than me." Although your clan sword Cold Ice is also a Valyrian steel sword, it is too big, too long, and too heavy to be suitable for execution, not for battlefield duels. And the Tywin family, hehe, his family's light whistle has long been lost. ”
Eddard Stark said lightly: "Sir Lynn, thank you for your enthusiasm, the challenge has been issued, and I have asked Raven to spread the news through multiple channels to let more people know. However, Tywin Lannister will not be up to the challenge. I have written this battle only to demoralize his army and inspire our soldiers to win. This will give the warlike soldiers and hot-blooded knights of the West: Tywin Boss meets Eddard Stark, cowardly!"
