Mu Dun is newly married, grateful to Will. And because of Tyron Ash's meritorious service, the Ashes Legion has become more prestigious. The brothers of the Mudun tribe are all unwilling.

So, after coming to the Long Table Hall to surrender, Mu Dun asked Will to be the vanguard to attack the last line of defense of the High Court: the Wine Hall.

The lord of the wine hall is the Earl of Fossowe, a family often referred to as the Red Apple Fossoway, as distinguished from the Fosowe family in Green Apple Barrel City, which split in Aegon 208.

The family crest of Count Brian Verssowe of the Wine Hall is a red apple on a gold background. The wine hall is famous for its abundance of red apples.

Will agreed to Wood Shield's request to send troops this time.

He allocated 3,000 cavalry to Mudun, including 2,000 cavalry from the Mudun tribe and 1,000 cavalry from the Hewandi who surrendered, a total of 3,000 cavalry, including archers, spears, and light cavalry. Mu Dun bid farewell to his new wife Mei and led 3,000 cavalry to the Rose Avenue.

Will then pulled out a thousand infantry and handed them to Earl Orton in the Long Table Hall, where he was put in charge of receiving the wooden shields.

When the Wooden Shield cavalry went to attack the Wine Hall, they had to pass through the Earl of Orton's Long Table Hall first.

Count Orton, as a backup for the wooden shield, is the most suitable.

In the High Court, Olena, the Queen of Thorns, has no intention of fighting. Margaery Tyrell had already prepared two thousand carts of food and five hundred carts of weapons and armor to be sent to King's Landing, and one hundred thousand golden dragons were already in place.

The news of the defeat of the Tyrells at Bitterbridge shook everyone in the High Court, and Garland Tyrelll's body was not brought back by the fleeing soldiers. The entire High Court Tyrells family was in mourning.

A few days after the defeat of the Bitter Bridge, the Green Valley Castle, which was loyal to the High Court, announced its surrender, and the young earl personally led the family soldiers to the Bitter Bridge to surrender to Will, but three days later, the second line of defense of the High Court, the Earl of the Long Table Hall, also led the family soldiers to the Bitter Bridge, surrendered to Will, and also sent his wife and only son as hostages, to show that he had no two hearts.

When the news reached the High Court, it was a knife stuck in the heart of Lady Olenna Redwin, the Queen of Thorns, and each knife was more ruthless than the other.

Olenna didn't really want to go to war with Will, she was just bluffing, and the navy and army moved together to put pressure on Her Majesty Shireen and her courtiers. In front of the food, weapons, and gold coins, Olenna gave King's Landing a choice question: choose between food, weapons, and money, or choose Will to be the prime minister.

King's Landing Red Keep did not answer Queen of Thorns' request, because after Will's return in the Red Keep, Will had the final say, and was not an old retainer of Her Majesty Shireen and House Baratheon.

Will's response was simple: Fight!

His cavalry and infantry were quickly in place, and he did not stay in King's Landing, and the army did not enter the city, but landed directly on the south bank of the Blackwater River, and the army marched to the High Court for battle.

Moreover, the total strength of the other side is only 6,000, not even 10,000.

And the strength of the Tyrells: the aristocratic regular army, the militia and mercenaries, and the freeriders combined, a total of 100,000 troops.

In the entire Seven Kingdoms, the food and population of the Riverbends are the largest in the Seven Kingdoms. The population base is large, and the source of troops is naturally the most abundant in the seven countries.

With an army of 6,000 against 100,000, the economic queen Olena sat firmly on the high platform, ready to repair Lord Will, who didn't know how thick the sky was. As it turned out, the shrewd Queen of Thorns underestimated her opponent this time and miscalculated.

Will had a giant warrior, and with just one of them, he routed the 30,000 soldiers of the Bitter Bridge and forced the Lord of the Bitter Bridge, Count Caswell, to submit.

In order to protect himself, Earl Caswell had to agree to Will's request for marriage, and married the heir of the family, May Carswell, to Will's beloved general, General Mu Dun.

One by one, these messages reached the High Court, and each time they slashed the sharp spirit of Olena, the Queen of Thorns.

General Mu Dun had just led the cavalry out of the bitter bridge, but after half a day's ride, the army had not yet reached the long table hall before the news reached the high court.

At present, Gao Ting has enough soldiers and dozens of generals. Among them, Deacon Landau, the son of Rando Tully, is one of the best. The heir of the High Court, Villas Tyrell, was unable to go into battle, but he was still beloved by the generals.

Vilas is a very quiet man with an amazing memory and a good memory. His lameness allowed him to see a lot of things clearly, and it also developed his amazing endurance and judgment.

Velas decided it was time to surrender to Will and deliver food to King's Landing, as Will had intended.

In this way, everything that Grandma Olena planned came to naught.

But compared to the fate of the Tyrells, the face of the Queen of Thorns is not so important.

The Tyrell family, on the surface, is in charge of Duke Mace Tyrrell, but in fact, the people in the family who talk and count have always been the mother of the particularly strong Duke of Mace: Lady Olenna Redwin.

Lady Olenna Redwin is shrewd, strong-eyed, and scheming, and she has never met a real opponent in her life, until this time she met Will.

*

High Court, all the generals gathered, and the army was assembled.

The main castle hall.

Olena, the Queen of Thorns, sat in the center, her expression flat and her crown of flowers. The corolla is woven with flowers, which are roses plucked this morning in the garden harbor.

Beside her was her little granddaughter, Margaery Tyrrell, dressed in fine silk embroidered with white roses.

On the right hand is the Duke's eldest son: Velas Tyrell, the lame, heir to the High Court. He has an amazing memory and is good at peeking into people's hearts, but he has a cowardly personality and is notoriously afraid of his grandmother Olena.

The hall was filled with knights, generals, and centurions,

They come from Baiyang Beach, Fruit Wine Hall, Jiaoling, Liangshui City, Black Crown City, Hive City, Old Town, Three Towers Fort, Shield Islands, Qingting Island, and Whispering Bay.

The vassals under the Hewan Land, except for the surrender of troops, all came.

Among them, Deacon Tully, the second son of the famous general Randolph Tully, is the leader.

Earl Brian Fossoway of the Wine Hall said: "Lady Olenna, Will has sent a cavalry vanguard to my Wine Hall, most of my soldiers have participated in the Battle of the Bitter Bridge, and their hearts are still apprehensive, and the soldiers are afraid of war, Madam, you see, we are fighting and peace." ”

"That's what you mean. Madame said.

"If Madame refuses to reconcile, I will naturally go back and organize the soldiers to resist desperately, but I will also ask Madame to give us two big crossbow arrows. Brian Fossoway said.

"Crossbow bolts?" said Madame.

"Yes, ma'am, Will has a giant as a general, brave and invincible, ordinary arrows cannot break his armor, and the power of crossbow arrows is several times that of ordinary bows and arrows, and it will surely shoot the giant to death. ”

Velas Tyrell coughed and said, "Count Forssowe, after the crossbow arrow kills the giant general, your wine hall will inevitably be razed to the ground by Will. ”

Phosoway shrugged, "What should we do in Lord Vilas's opinion?"

Vilas Tyrell said, "Grandma, please send me to Lord Will, and the Tyrells will sue for peace." This is the only way to save General Randolph Tully and our father. He stood up with his cane, "Generals, in our rear is Dorne, who has now surrendered to Lord Will. If Dorne had given the order and Dorne had gathered an army to attack us from behind, we would have been in even greater danger. “

"What if I don't make peace?" said Lady Olenna.

Velas Tyrell has been afraid of this grandmother since he was a child, and he was afraid at the moment, but he still insisted on saying: "Grandma, even if we win the battle against Lord Will, we kill all his 6,000 soldiers, and the soldiers who surrendered to him surrender to the High Court again, do you think Lord Will will admit defeat? No, no, he will send more troops." ”

Margaery Tyrell said, "Grandma, Will attacked Dorne and sent 40,000 troops. ”

Vilas Tyrell knew she had to convince Grandma about the future of the High Court: "Grandma, don't forget that Lord Will has an important ally, Daenerys Targaryen. As long as we and Will become enemies and be tough to the end, the end of the High Court will be completely eradicated by Will, just like the fate of the Martell family. ”

The generals looked at each other, looking at Lady Olenna's face cloudy, and did not dare to speak.

Lady Olena had some comfort in her heart, her own son Mace Tyrell was not good at it, if you had guts, no, if you wanted military talent, no, if you wanted political strategy, no. Among the second generation of grandchildren, there is a Hundred Flowers Knight and Yongwu Garan, but both grandsons have died.

Lady Olenna was frustrated by the fact that one was a cripple and the other was a daughter, and she was glad to see Velas Tyrell speak her mind in front of the family's most important matters, and seemed to have a bit of responsibility.

Lady Olenna said, "Vilas, sit down. ”

Velas's face turned blue and white, he opened his mouth, and sat down in disbelief because of his fear of his grandmother.

Lady Olena said: "Whether it is war or peace, I already have a sense of proportion in my heart, but the river bend land is everyone's, I want to see everyone's opinions, and if you agree to fight, raise your hand to show me." ”

A few jazzes raised their hands, but most were silent.

In the end, these jazzes put their hands down, and the atmosphere in the audience was depressed.

"So, everyone agreed to make peace?" said Lady Olenna.

No one raised their hand, just like just now, everyone was watching from the sidelines. Lady Olenna is a figure that cannot be messed with or provoked, and there is no vassals in the Riverlands who are not afraid of her.

Lady Olenna looked at Velas Tyrell.

Vilas Tyrell raised his hand!

He was the first!

Then, the second, there was the Count of Fossowe in the wine hall. If he didn't say anything, Will's vanguard cavalry would soon come to his castle, and whether the castle could hold it or not would certainly not be able to hold it, and how long would it last?

The soldiers of the Wine Hall unanimously demanded that Count Versowe surrender like Count Mariwes of the Long Table Hall, and in the Battle of Bitter Bridge, the soldiers of the Wine Hall had been defeated by the bravery of Tyron Ash. Many of the soldiers heard that Will had sent a vanguard of cavalry to attack the wine hall, so they left their weapons and armor in the night and fled, but the Earl of Fossoway did not dare to tell Lady Olenna about this.

Despite this, Count Fossoway did not surrender to Will on his own initiative, he came to the wine hall, whether it was war or peace, he listened to the lord. Loyalty to the lord is the principle and bottom line of Count Versowey, and it will not be crossed.

The third person to raise his hand was a nobleman in Aries Beach. Aries Beach is to the south of the Fruit Wine Hall, and once the Wine Hall falls, it will be the fate of Aries Beach.

The soldiers of Baiyang Beach also participated in the Battle of Kuqiao, and there were very few soldiers who came back, and the soldiers who came back were all terrified, and they were terrified when they mentioned the giant general, and they had no will to fight.

The fourth person to raise her hand was surprisingly Margaery Tyrell. Olenna's favorite little granddaughter.

Olena was also surprised, but also relieved. It was important that she liked that Margaery Tyrell had her own opinions, and that she didn't change her mind because she was afraid and loved her.

The blood of the Tyrell family is to have the courage and responsibility to dare to speak and express!

The future and fate of the Tyrells are at stake!

Margaery Tyrell raised her hand, and the counts, generals, and centurions raised their hands

By the end, everyone had their hands up.

Everyone looked at Madame Olena and didn't know what Madame would say.

If Madame insists on fighting, these generals will still fight, but the morale is ...... Then there will be no morale at all!

Finally, Lady Olenna also raised her hand and said, "Generals, I am on the same page as you, and when Tyron Ash single-handedly defeats our army of Bitter Bridge, I know that we will not be able to win this war. ”

"I misjudged Lord Will and underestimated his ability to act. In fact, we are also loyal to the royal family, and we have no intention of rebellion. It's just that Lord Will is aggressive, and has placed our Lord Duke and General Randolph Tully under house arrest, and my offer to exchange food, weapons, and money for Lord Will's ouster is nothing more than a means of counterattack to preserve the dignity of the High Court. “

But Lord Will was too strong, and did what he said, and immediately sent troops to attack the High Court. There are so many capable men in his army that we cannot fight against such a powerful opponent, and you can all surrender. ”

"You can all surrender!" is there another meaning to this sentence,—— I shall not surrender!

In the entire hall, everyone was not sensitive to Madame's voice, and everyone was obviously relieved, and then, a smile appeared on the faces of the generals.

Only Velas Tyrell sensed something unusual - you can all surrender, isn't that a hint: Grandma won't surrender Will?!

Unsure of his judgment, Villas looked at Lady Olenna, who looked as usual, wearing a crown of roses, and nothing out of the ordinary.

"Vilas Tyrell, Margaery Tyrell, you are in charge of this peace. ”

"Yes, Grandma!" said Vilas and Margaery.

"Deacon Tully, you lead 3,000 elite soldiers to escort Willas and Margaery to the Bitter Bridge and negotiate peace with Lord Will. ”

"Yes, ma'am!" said Deacon Tully, kneeling down on one knee.

"I await your good news!" said Lady Olenna.

She raised an army against Will, threatening the Red Keep with food, weapons, and gold coins, and every move was right, and there was no mistake. It's just that Will's strength and the changes in the rules of the outside world are something she doesn't understand.
