Chapter 0569 - Counting is Counting
The raven was effortlessly caught up and captured by Aquamarine, and soon the well-trained and ferocious raven was delivered to Will.
Will took the parchment from Raven's foot and opened it, and he couldn't help but smile that it was the parchment that James had written to him. Perhaps, Aquamarine's haunting of the Eagle's Nest sky was seen by Jaime Lannister.
Lord Will, I'm Jaime Lannister, and Maester Comon, and I already know that you've learned a few things about Eagle's Nest, so let's talk about it openly.
We've heard the news of a strange attack from the north, but we don't know if it's true or not. If, as Sir Robertroys claimed, both the Terrans and the Humanoids will be slaughtered by the Strangers and Ghouls from the north during the winter, then what is the grudge between people, between families, and between nations? If you can prove the existence of the Aliens, I am willing to join the Great Wall Legion and do my best to fight the Strangers. I also hope that the grievances between each other's families and countries can be written off from now on, so that we can join hands and climb the Great Wall together.
Jaime Lannister
In the noble castle of Seagull Town, Maggie Mormont snorted coldly after reading the letter: "Lord Will, do you believe what Jaime said?"
"What about you?" Will smiled.
"I don't believe it. ”
"And what if it's true?"
"Even if it were true, I wouldn't fight alongside the Lannisters. ”
"You hate the Lannisters more than the Strangers?"
"Yes. They killed Master Eddard Stark, and it had to be paid for in blood. Maggie Mormont snapped.
The Mormonts have been blessed by the Starks for generations, and their loyalty to the Starks has remained unwavering. Although Jorah Mormont was wanted by Eddard Stark for the slave trade and went into exile, the Mormonts remained as loyal to the Starks.
Jorah Mormont was the legitimate patriarch of the Mormont family, and he did not dare to resist in the slightest if he committed a crime, and he did not have any objection to the Stark family. Odd Molmont was bent on seeking Eddard Stark's forgiveness and was willing to be Eddard's attendant to atone for his sins, but Ed Stark was a dead eye and refused to pardon or alleviate Chora Molmont's capital crime, and finally forced Chora Molmont to go into exile.
Eddard Stark wanted to kill Jorah Mormont, and no one in the Mormont family resented Stark for this, and remained Stark's most loyal subordinate.
In the bloody case, Maggie Mormon can't forgive Jaime Lannister and Cersei Lannister, even if they fight the stranger together.
Will looked directly into Maggie Mormon's eyes, although he had the authority to order Maggie Mormont to obey orders, he also knew that Maggie Mormont would not be convinced in his heart, and when she had the opportunity, she would still follow her heart's will to kill Jaime and Cersei.
"Well, I agree with you and do not reconcile with the Lannisters. Will said.
Maggie Mormont was overjoyed, but she was silent. The fact that an extroverted and irascible woman has become a city government shows that the bloodshed of war and the deceit of power are powerful and invisible in shaping a person.
"Lord Will, how are you going to take Eagle's Nest?" Since taking Seagull Town, Maggie Mormon's only thought is to fight Eagle's Nest and capture the Lannisters to avenge Ed Stark.
"Accede to Jaime's request. ”
"You're going to see him, in Eagle's Nest?"
"No, I'm going with Robb Stark. It's time to tell Robb Stark the truth. ”
"How? Ride a griffon, there are only two of you, it's too dangerous. ”
"Since it's a peace talk, let's enter through the blood gate. ”
"What if he set up an ambush at the Bloodgate? like Eddard Stark. ”
"We can enter the blood gate in the name of peace talks, so that we can take the opportunity to win the blood gate. Will said lightly.
Maggie Mormont was overjoyed and finally moved: "Prime Minister, please let me be a pioneer." ”
Maggie Mormont first addressed Will as Lord Chancellor, having previously referred to him as Lord Will, a change in title that implied that she was finally willing to accept Will as the Hand of the King instead of Eddard Stark.
"Maybe there's someone who wants to be a pioneer more. ”
"Who?"
"Robb Stark. ”
"He must not be the vanguard, he is the Duke of Winterfell, Robb must not miss again. The North needs him, and the Great Wall needs him. Maggie Mormont said.
The Blood Gate is the barrier of the entire valley, and in order to take the valley, you must first take the Blood Gate.
The Blood Gate was also the only way to the realms of the nobles in the Vale.
"Well, I agreed to make you the vanguard, but I took the Bloody Gate. Will said.
"Thank you, Prime Minister. Maggie Mormont's heart stirred, she knelt down on one knee, drew her twin axes, and swore that the five hundred axe men of Bear Island would take the Blood Gate at any cost.
Will and Maggie Mormon carefully studied the plan to take down the Bloodgate, and then Will rode into the flames and soared into the air.
Riverrun.
Gradually, the crowd watching the ghouls finally decreased.
In the entire Riverland, Robb Stark had 8,000 soldiers, plus his own 500 northern warriors, 1,000 cavalry of the Great Wall, and the guards around the leaders of the major families, a total of more than 10,000 troops, and all of them were cavalry.
Robb Stark appointed Brindentuli the Blackfish of Riverrun as the lieutenant commander of the legion, his uncle Edmuthully as the scout captain, and the Frey family of Twin River City as the vanguard.
In addition to the ghouls in the prison cart, Joffrey Lannister and Rosa Mon Lannister, who have been hidden in the army, are another trump card to conquer the allegiance of the nobles of the Westlands and send troops to follow.
This time, Robb will take away most of the combat power of the West, and all nobles who refuse will be forcibly conquered.
The Westlands have not recovered since their last defeat, but there is still half of the noble realm that has not been affected by the war. The Northern Coalition also only reached Castle Rock in the west and stopped, as the Lannisters surrendered.
The Lannister's surrender has well preserved the strength of half of the nobles in the West, only the strength of the nobles who have been ravaged by the war has suffered heavy losses, and even the city of Lannisterport, which is not far from Castle Rock City, has guaranteed its strength and most of its wealth because it has not been affected by the war.
But this time is different, Robb is here again, he is here to start from the land to take away the combat power of the Western Territory, and no nobleman will be spared.
The army has arrived at the gateway city to the West: the Golden Tooth City.
The Golden Tooth City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city is built in the middle of the road, and you must pass through the Golden Tooth City to enter the western border. In the last Western Conquest, the Golden Tooth City was not broken. Will and Robb adopted a roundabout tactic to break through the city behind the Golden Tooth City and take the western capital of Castle Rock City before forcing the Golden Tooth City to surrender automatically.
Last time it was a state of war, this time Robb is back, it's a state of peace.
The vanguard general, Black Ward, stepped forward and shouted to open the door, and on the Golden Tooth City, what responded to Black Ward was an accurate arrow.
Snatch!
Long arrows fluttered and buzzed on the flagpole of Havard's army.
Not long after, it seems that all of a sudden, the Westside rebelled again.
At this moment, the sound of clanging came from the sky, everyone looked up, and in the sky, two griffons flew in.
