Chapter 0410: Ygritte's Fighting
Taking advantage of the war to weaken and marginalize those who want to be deliberately suppressed is one of the common methods used by emperors and generals.
Both Luce Burton and the Frey family are Will's targets.
Wald Frey has been pinched to death by Will, and the patriarch has changed the person Will's fancy. It's time for Luce Burton to be deterred, too.
His rules, temperament, temperament, strength, prestige, and honor can all be justifiably wasted.
Of course, if you don't have the strength, it's better to go with Luce Burton.
Once such a person gains power, those who have offended him will be unlucky.
Dances with Wolves!
Knowing the true face of Luce Bolton in the previous world trajectory is a tiger for Will.
King Balon is definitely going to attack the north, and his personality is in a big way. The northern border is large, with the area of the other six countries combined. With such a large territory, the iron people can't occupy it, because there are few iron people.
King Balon, who has always been obsessed with annexing the North and taking revenge, is a joke if he has no internal response. He has his own intelligence channels, just like the Lannisters in the West, even in times of peace, he has personal friendships with Luce Bolton in the North, Lord Walder Frey of Luanhe City in the Riverlands, Bronze Jorn in the Vale, and the lords of the Riverlands in Storm's End.
That's the relationship.
The famous quote of the old Tywin Lannister - when the sword is up, a war can be solved with pen and paper and ravens. - The basis of this theory is the good relations that are established in peacetime.
The news that the star warriors of the Holy Inquisition got had solid evidence that Luce Bolton and King Baron had a very good relationship, and the last time it was carefully designed, King Baron was not fooled, someone leaked the news, Will had two suspicions in his heart, the first is the Southern Stranger who specializes in selling intelligence, and the other is Luce Bolton, the lord of the Horror Castle.
He was one of the senior generals of the Northern Expedition to the West, and was familiar with and knew every military deployment and planning of the Northern Army. After a period of secret investigation, the Holy Inquisition discovered that the Bolton family in the Castle of Terror had a wide range of contacts, and it was not at all an isolated situation that ordinary people thought everyone avoided.
This time, it is necessary to catch the big fish of King Baron and transfer Luce Bolton, who is good friends with Baron, away.
After Will announced the new appointment of Luce Burton, Robb went on to announce a prohibition that would be opposed by everyone: on the eve of the engagement, the Scouts, the Vanguard who traveled day and night, were not allowed to drink.
When the Prohibition was obtained, the lords all clamoured, forgetting the unhappiness that Luce Bolton had just taken away the glory of the Vanguard Legion, and that wine and the sword were the second life of the Northerners.
It is very cold in the north, and drinking alcohol is a habit to keep out the cold. Of course, there are also endless incidents of fighting and killing because of drinking. And the captains, soldiers, and scouts who drank alcohol before the war and misbehaved were numerous each time. Many people have developed a good habit of getting drunk as soon as they drink.
Alcohol is not prohibited in peacetime, and alcohol is prohibited in the whole army before the war and in emergency military situations.
It's hard, but you have to do it.
The lords reacted violently, and Great Jon thought that if he didn't drink, he wouldn't fight at all. So, in order to alleviate this fierce confrontation, Robb launched a plan with Will: the first step was to quota alcohol, and the second step was to ban alcohol in the event of an emergency.
Before the meeting was over, Luce Bolton stood up, poured a glass of wine, tasted it slowly, and went out of the tent with the glass in hand.
Walking out with him were Robb's Captain of the Guard, Harris Moran, Will's Captain of the Guard, Able, Blackgirl, and Clankler.
Since he had withdrawn from the meeting, he had to immediately carry out the military order, day and night, and rush to the Storm's Rest Castle. And his two hundred elite soldiers had already been handed over to Jon Snow in the morning.
Outside the thousands of legions of Winterfell, a ragtag army is gathering.
Jon Snow, who has experience in training recruits, rides a tall horse and gives orders. It is not a difficult problem to organize more than 1,000 people from dozens of large and small lords into a legion with tacit understanding. The only difficulty is, are these arrogant knights and soldiers convinced by Jon Snow and Ygritte, who is a wildling?
If you are convinced, then you can quickly form a resultant force, if not, it is a plate of loose sand.
Since the beginning of the war, every day and every person is facing their own challenges.
For Jon and Ygritte, the only language they had to learn to manage the Legion was the sword. The knights and soldiers would only follow the strong, not the bastards and savage women.
Jon Snow was attacked with less malice, after all, he was Eddard Stark's blood, although he was not called Stark, his brother Robb was very good to him, everyone saw it in their eyes and ears along the way, and Ygritte was not so lucky, all the soldiers were not hostile to her, they just wanted to tease her. The smell of the wild woman in the bedroom is what these men want to know the most.
Foul language had become accustomed to Yegritte's ears, and the freedfolk warriors were experts in this area, and Ygritte's face had long been trained to be as solid as the ice of the Eternal Winter Land, but Jon didn't like it, and Ygritte didn't like the feeling of not being respected.
Soon, arrogant warriors will stand up and challenge Jon Snow and Ygritte to their faces!
As if it were inevitable.
A few warriors wielding their swords at a whirling pace, at the malicious instigation of their knights, challenged Ygritte first.
Jon had brought the recruits and knew that in the face of a new army, the leader would not accept the challenge, so they would have to leave, leaving Robb and Will to be replaced.
The first black-armored soldier to come out came from the widow Hopesan Flint family.
As soon as Ygritte jumped off his horse, he pounced, and with a slash, with a loud thud, Ygritte fell to the ground, and the onlookers and soldiers burst into laughter.
All kinds of jokes to prove that they have the lowest lower limit have exploded.
Jon Snow was expressionless, and the hand holding the sword on his steed was bruised.
The black-armored soldier raised his hands and looked at the sky and laughed.
Ygritte turned over and stood up, her movements were agile, she held her sword in both hands, put on a fighting stance, and shouted, "Come on!" She had not yet stood firm when she dismounted, and although she had lost very unjustly, the difference in strength was still a bit big.
The soldiers of the Flint family jumped up and slashed into the air, a sword that could not be blocked even if it was replaced by other equally strong soldiers.
"Ygritte, use what you do best. Jon said, "Throw the bow and arrow to Ygritte." ”
"I won him with my sword. Ygritte carried her bow and arrows and said stubbornly.
"You're moving faster than him, slashing your legs. Jon said.
As soon as the words were spoken, Ygritte dodged her opponent's cross-slash, rolled sideways, and pulled a sword on her opponent's calf. Her tumbling skills are like no other, and it's unbelievable that the bow didn't get in the way of her dodging.
Ygritte's sword is not a training sword, it is a real sword.
Both sides are real swords!
The black-armored soldier was wounded and staggered, and Ygrit, who was already standing up behind the soldier, slashed at the soldier's neck with a sword.
Exclamations and shouts rang out, and a knight and three soldiers rushed out and rushed towards Ygritte, the soldiers of Flinter's family who were extremely united.
