Chapter 0130: Luanhe City: Internal Breakthrough (1)
"Lord Robb, this Lord is ......" No matter how good Stevren's personality is, he can't stand the rhetoric of the man in black.
"Lord Will, leader of the Great Wall of Desperation. Robb said respectfully.
"The ...... of the Great Wall of Desperation Isn't Will, Lord Will, Commander-in-Chief Mormont?"
"Yes, he's the commander, I'm the leader. Will looked at ease, "Commander Mormont and I are leading the Night's Watch against the Wraiths, winter is coming, Lord Steffron, all forces should be gathered on the Wall, including the warriors of Luanhe City." β
"Aliens, all the powers, including our warriors in Luanhe City?" Stevren couldn't help but laugh, "Lord Will, are you sure you're not joking?"
"This is no joke, Sir Stevran. Winter has arrived, and strange ghosts are coming. Of course, all the nobles will take this as a joke, and I think it's a joke, and the world is ridiculous sometimes!" Will said without a smile at all, and his words were full of teasing.
Steffron's face changed slightly, and several Frey around him looked displeased, and a young Frey's hand pressed on the hilt of his sword.
Will turned a blind eye and calmly ignored it.
The oak black iron gate of the Weihe Tower clicked up, and the procession entered the gate of the Weihe Tower and entered the passage of the Weihe Tower.
The procession finally reached the west end of the bridge, where the guards pushed the winch and opened the oak iron doors of the inner city of the huge and heavy West Castle. Robb and Will led the team into the inner city of Hexi, through the spacious city center, to the outer city gate, another oak iron gate opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and everyone slowly crossed the drawbridge.
After saying goodbye to Robb Stark with a few Freys, Stevren turned back across the drawbridge and headed back to the city, without giving another look at Will, the impudent man in black.
Luanhe City, in peacetime, regardless of day and night, give money to cross the river. Business transactions, selling vegetables and delivering water, singers and poets, tipping the guards, identity verification, you can enter the city.
"Have you seen the military deployment of Luanhe City clearly?" Will asked Robb, not taboo about the many knights and retinues around him.
The detour to Luanhe City is of deep significance.
Whether you like it or not, in the near future, these people will be drawn into the war, and no one can escape.
For a rainy day.
Will arrives in Winterfell early with Big Gilly and Tyronn Ash. Will had an in-depth and detailed discussion with Robb Stark and Lady Caitlin, and although everything revolved around Eddard Stark's prophecy of King's Landing, Will cleverly brought out the key events that would happen in the future.
When it comes to the military-strategic importance of Luanhe City, which is controlled by Walder Frey's family, Caitlyn and Robb Stark are convinced. When Will made her own judgment on Lord Walder Frey, Caitlin was as convinced of Will's abilities as a prophet.
Will's assessment of Walder Frey is in line with Caitlin's judgment: Walder Frey is short-tempered, narrow-minded, suspicious and cunning, greedy, conceited and arrogant, ambitious and honorless.
When Stark and Robert raised the banner of rebellion, Horst Tully, the feudal lord of the Three Rivers, called on his vassals to raise troops in support of Stark and Robert, and his vassals responded, but the army led by Walder Frey did not arrive until Robert and Stark won a decisive victory: the battlefield was in the lower reaches of the Green Fork River, not far from the Wader family.
From then on, Caitlin's father, Horst Tully, referred to Walder as "the late Marquis of Frey".
For the late Marquis Frey, Caitlin knew that Lord Wald could not be bound with an oath of honor and loyalty, even if you were his lord, and the oath of allegiance was the piece of paper in the toilet for Wald Frey.
Dealing with Wald Frey is only for profit. βCatelyn to Robb Stark.
Will deliberately made a detour in order to let Robb Stark see the fortification and military strategic importance of Luanhe City firsthand in advance.
Robb Stark frowned, "Lord Will, if there is a war, it would be better for Wald Frey to be an ally. β
"Kovard Frey has no honor and cannot be trusted. Will said lightly.
"It's very simple, build a large trebuchet and destroy the castle of Wald Frey's family across the moat. Theon Greyjoy said flatly.
"Unless there are giant trebuchets attacking on both sides of the river east and west of the river. "But we can't even cross the river, so how can we attack on both sides?"
"The north can only attack east of the river, and if the giant trebuchet destroys the castle east of the river, we will not be able to cross the moat, and if the bridge is blown down by the boulders, we will not be able to cross the river. "It is almost impossible to force a siege with large trebuchets to ensure the integrity of the bridge." β
At a young age, at the age of fourteen, Robb hit the nail on the head, and in just a few words, he showed his hidden military talent.
In the 8,000 years since the Starks ruled the North, there has been no shortage of teenage heroes. The youngest young hero in history is Karon Stark, the ancestor of the branch clan Karstark, who was only eleven years old and led the army north to quell the rebels. Whoever refuses to surrender is to be killed.
Will nodded approvingly at Robb's insight.
Daisy Mormont smiled and said, "Lord Will, Lord Robb, now that the Seven Kingdoms are peaceful, where will the war come from?" Daisy passed the neck, then changed out of the armor and put on a woman's clothes, with a long sword hanging from her waist, soft and strong, and her graceful figure was even more prominent. Along the way, the knights and their retinue couldn't help but look at Daisy. Jon's eyes were full of flames.
Will smiled: "Yes, now the Seven Kingdoms are peaceful, and there is no war in the world." Isn't it boring on the road, just gossiping? β
Robb also smiled: "Lord Will, the internal breakthrough you mentioned must not be deliberately teasing Sir Stepron." β
"Of course not. β
Daisy Mormont's big eyes looked at Will with brilliance: "My lord, how can you break through internally, let's chat, let's talk about it, I'm looking forward to it." β
Will shook his head: "Don't say it!"
Daisy Mormont's smile was awkward and stiff. Everyone is kind to her, likes her and is close to her, but it is always a little out of place for Will in black to talk to her.
The team moved on. A few hours later, it was getting late.
Will said: "Lord Robb, dozens of miles ahead is the edge of the territory of Mellister Sea Frontier City, and I was caught poaching stag in the forest of Mellister's house, and then became a night watchman. It's getting late, so let's set up camp. β
"Good!" Robb Stark raised his hand, and the line stopped. The retinue dismounted one after another and set up tents.
The next day, Luanhe City, the main fort, Wald Frey's bedroom.
Wade Frey is 90 years old and has just married a sixteen-year-old girl, his eighth wife, Josan Enford. The Enford family is a vassal of the Wad family, a noble family of knights.
Wald Frey's joints hurt terribly, but he wanted to live a few more years, and he needed to stay awake so that he could attend to the affairs of the family, so he hated the poppy milk that Maester Bertlem had prescribed him, and drinking too much of the poppy milk would dull his mind.
Ever since marrying Jo Susan, Wald has pinched Jo Susan's face or sensitive parts of her body whenever the pain was unbearable.
Now he's using his own methods to alleviate joint pain. His thin, withered hands reached into Jo Susan's clothes, grasping the unspeakable, and his long nails dug deep into the flesh until he felt the warm blood running on the back of his hand. Seeing that Jo Susan's face was pale and tearful, he felt that his joint pain had been reduced too much.
"Lord Wade. "Master Bertlem pushed open the bedroom door and appeared in the bedroom doorway.
Wade was furious: "Get out of here, or I'll cut off your head." β
"As you wish, my lord. Maester Bertlem said respectfully. He turned and closed the door, bolted it, and walked over to Lord Walder, with a playful smile on his face that Lord Wald had never seen before, like a cat looking at a poor little mouse with nowhere to hide.
