(Add 1 to the alliance leader's young gang leader who opened Martha)

"Take your sword away, and I'll go with you to King's Landing. Hale Hunt said.

"You walk in your way, I walk in mine. Brienne was even more aloof.

"Okay, then don't get in my way. Hale Hunt said.

Brienne gets out of the way, and Hale Hunter just slaps the horse.

Woooooo

The trumpet of the retreat of the great army sounded again.

Brienne hesitated, she refused to go with Haile Hunt, but if she wanted to find a fishing boat to cross the river, she had to go upstream, and if she retreated, she would either be discovered by the scouts of the army and be forced to retreat with the army, or she avoided the army and reached the beach, and there would still be no boat.

Brienne went to King's Landing to assassinate Stannis, not wanting to alarm anyone, it was her private business.

But there is only one way up the river.

Brienne had no choice but to chase after Hale Hunt.

*

Woooooo

The trumpets urging the army to retreat became more and more urgent, and many horns together issued urgent orders.

In the royal forest, the three armies pulled out the camp together and retreated.

Among the nobles and knights of the Blue Rite, all the families had received letters from Stannis to persuade them to surrender before the war, and although a third of the nobles chose to follow the Blue Rite, they were still very hesitant in their hearts. Another one-third of the families were centrists, choosing whichever side was stronger, and only one-third of the nobles were staunch forces following the Blue Rites.

The families that defected when they saw that the situation was wrong were headed by the Florentine family.

His Majesty Stannis's wife, Celise Florent, is a member of the Florentine family.

When Stannis was still on Dragonstone, he sent Davos to find the Florentine family, hoping to persuade the Florentine family to be loyal to Stannis with the affection of his wife Selyse.

However, at that time, Stannis's strength was weak, and he was rejected by Allister Floren, Earl and Patriarch of Brightwater.

Now, however, the situation has been reversed, and His Majesty has been killed by the mysterious shadow, and Allister Florence has immediately made the decision to defect to Stannis with his own army.

In order to gain Stannis I's forgiveness and gain a high position, Allister first issued an order to withdraw from the army under the pretense of obeying Tyrelll's orders, but at the same time, he went to find the nobles of the trusted Storm's Castle who were close to him, and persuaded them to defect to Stannis I together.

Melissa, the eldest daughter of Sir Allister Florent, married Tyrellle's most famous general, Randolph Tully, the father of Samwell Tully of the Night's Watch, so Allister was also the grandfather of Samwell the Night's Watch.

Allister quickly persuaded a group of nobles from Storm's End to defect to Stannis I, but he failed to convince his son-in-law, Randolph Tully, at the suggestion of his son.

Randolph Tully was unconvinced, and the Tullys' long-standing allegiance was to House Tyrells. If you don't say it, it will provoke the backlash of the Tyrell family. (Randolph turned against Gortyrell on TV because Tyrell was the first to ally with the foreign armies of Essos.) There is a difference between inside and outside, not my race, Lan Dao would rather die than surrender. )

Queen Selyse's father, Ryan, was the younger brother of the patriarch Allister Florent.

Allister was tall and thin, with silver-gray hair and a long, pointed beard that surrounded his slender and noble face. He was wealthy, had a high prestige in the family, was a man of his word, and he had always been an ambitious man.

Lan Li's death and defection to Stannis I were Allister's decisive speculative path.

Queen Selyse is his own niece, and with this relationship, Allister is confident that he will lead the army and the noble knights of Storm's End to gain the attention of Stannis I, thus laying a solid foundation for his success.

Randolph Tully was a famous general, and when he persuaded Mace Tyrell to order the withdrawal of his troops, he was already prepared for the rebellion of the nobles of Storm's End.

The nobles under Storm's Rest, because they have been loyal to the Baratheon family for hundreds of years, many nobles and the Baratheon family have such and such kinship blood relations, and the intermarriage between each other's knights and knights is more extensive, even Randolph Tully himself is also very close to Stannis I: Randolph Tully's wife and Stannis I's wife, the two are cousins.

Lan Dao did not dare to slack off in leading the army to retreat this night, and he kept getting news through his own channels, led by his father-in-law, Lord Allister, and most of the nobles under the banner of Storm's End had formed an alliance and made a decision: to defect to Stannis I. This made Randolph Tully very worried that the knights of Storm's End would suddenly attack the High Court.

Everyone knows that the man Stannis I would never let go of is Mace Tyrrell.

If his father-in-law were to offer Stannis I the head of Mace Tyrell, the allies who had been bitter about the enemy a few hours ago would have caught fire.

However, Tyrrell's army was equal to that of Storm's End, and his father-in-law did not dare to launch an attack without reinforcements.

For the sake of safety, Lan Dao didn't want to meet his father-in-law over this, so he secretly ordered the team to disperse, and in units of thousands of people, by the night, under the cover of the forest, he tried his best to escape in the direction of the high court.

Turn your elbows and armpits up, and walk up.

In the event of a war, the nobles and knights of Storm's End could immediately call in more troops to join the war, which was extremely detrimental to the Tyrells who had come from afar.

At dawn, the large army that withdrew overnight camped on the spot to make breakfast, and the camps of both sides were intentionally or unintentionally separated by a distance, and when the smoke of the cooking stove rose, Randolph Tully and Mace Tyrell left behind empty tents one by one and small groups of light cavalry scouts to come and go, but secretly led the remaining small part of the army to escape again through the morning fog of the forest.

Along the way, Lan Dao ordered that all logistics materials be discarded, and the weapons, armor, horses, and grain and grass that were prepared to be replenished by logistics were discarded all the way. When the Storm's Rest Castle army found that the High Court army had fled unknowingly, they would inevitably come after them, but the road was full of weapons, armor, bows, arrows, and food, which would inevitably make the pursuing soldiers scramble......

In addition, Lan Dao also laid two thousand elite soldiers on both sides of the road where the army escaped, after Lan Dao led a thousand elite soldiers, his father-in-law did not chase him, if he came to chase, he would inevitably be ambushed, and the ambush soldiers on the left and right sides were together, Lan Dao led a thousand elite soldiers to turn back and cover the kill, and the three-way attack, the father-in-law who came to chase in a hurry was bound to be defeated. If the rear army wants to chase again, it must be afraid and hold back!

The knight generals and soldiers of Storm's End had a full breakfast, and Allister convened the knight generals to discuss the matter, the Clintons, the Ponros, the Ismonds, the Hopes, and the Cullens...... After a quarrel between the knights of the many families of Storm's End, they reached an agreement, and in the name of holding a military meeting to elect the commander-in-chief of the three armies, they invited Mace Tyrell and Randolph Tully to come over for a meeting, and then took down Mace Tyrell and Randolph Tully at the meeting, and captured the nobles of the High Court first......

After the discussion, Allister sent his son Alecon Florent, who was the only son and heir of Allister Florent, Earl of Bright Waters, with the family guards, to the military camp of his son-in-law Randolph Tully, to dispel Randolph's scruples with family ties, and then to invite Mace Tyrell to come over for a meeting......
