Chapter 0339 - Magic Mountain Mission: Rise to the Challenge!

Elano Muton sat in the carriage, holding her two younger brothers in her left and right hands. On the left side of the carriage was her fiancΓ© Angai Cregan, and on the right were Ron Murton, the knight of the family, Sister Evelyn, Steinbeck, the Bachelor, and two hundred soldiers from Female Springs, all armed behind the carriage.

The materials of NΓΌquan Town were loaded with about 500 carts by the soldiers ordered by his adoptive father, Moshan, and the ox carts and carriages were requisitioned in the hands of NΓΌquan Town and the people outside the town. In addition, Magic Mountain also took away hundreds of war horses from the stables of Nuquan Town.

The management of NΓΌquan Town, Yilanor had to be handed over to the family housekeeper.

The Magic Mountain led the Klegan cavalry at the front, and Elano's carriage and family soldiers walked between the Klegane's cavalry and infantry. The army marched hundreds of miles to Harrenhal. Along the way, the Magic Mountain ordered not to trample on the crops on the territory of Muton that had not yet had time to be harvested.

It was harvest season, and the people of every village were busy harvesting the crops, and although they were requisitioned some wagons and ox carts, they were grateful to the Magic Mountain.

The territory of Muton is the territory of Elano, the adopted daughter of the Magic Mountain, and the Magic Mountain ordered the soldiers not to rob the villagers, not to trample on the crops, not to force the sharp women, and not to beat the villagers, so he won the gratitude of the people of Muton.

The only drawback was that the army was slow to march because it could not destroy the crops and step directly through the good soil that had already been harvested.

Luce Bolton sat in the tent of the Chinese army, his hands propped up on his chin like a sculpture. The tent was filled with generals from the north, and the battle arrays they had carefully prepared, and the great pits they had dug in the middle of the battle arrays, were all useless.

The Magic Mountain replied to the decisive battle, but did not come, but crossed Crab Bay in the darkness of night and took the town of Nuquan of the Muton family.

The town of Nysens is wealthy, with a large port and trade, and the Magic Mountain's attack is a big surprise to Luthbolton.

"General, do we have any spies from the Magic Mountain?" said a nobleman drunkenly.

Luthbolton didn't blink an eyelid, and he seemed to stop breathing.

"My lord, it seems that the Magic Mountain can see through our military plan, and he will not come to the decisive battle at all, what should we do?" asked Maggie Mormont gloomily.

Luce Bolton glanced at Maggie and continued to look somewhere on the table in front of him, his eyes empty.

Earl Flint said lightly: "My lord, Lord Robb crossed the Golden Tooth City from the path, entered the West, attacked and conquered all the battles in the West, defeated the new army in the West, and killed the boss Steffannist (Steffannist's own sister Joanna Lannister is the wife of Duke Tywin who has been dead for twenty-six years, and is the mother of James, Cersei, and Tyrion. )。 Edmure also repelled Duke Tywin again and again in the Red Fork River, and firmly blocked the Western Army on the east bank of the Red Fork River, but we are facing a magic mountain, either afraid of war, or played by him, this situation must be changed. β€œ

"Yes!" one of the generals breathed a depressed sigh, "all the generals who followed Lord Robb have made meritorious contributions, and fellows like Edmure have defeated Duke Tywin many times in the Red Fork River, but we can either run away from defeat, or dig a pit to play by ourselves, and it will be a shame to return to the north after the war in the future." ”

"My lord, we can't just wait here!" said another general, standing up.

The frustrated northerners are obviously out of breath!

Lusbolton changed his sitting position and leaned back in his chair: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't you understand? There is a guy who is proficient in strategy by the side of the Demon Mountain who is helping him, and he completely trusts that guy in a daze. We're not fighting the Magic Mountain right now, we're fighting a guy we don't know anything about, and it's clear that guy knows everything about us. ”

"Well, an invisible man, a military strategist, why do I want to laugh, sir, give the order to march. Lady Maggie suddenly became furious.

"It's easy to march, but what are we going to do after we cross the river? Attack Harrenhal or west? Luthbolton said softly.

"Attack Harrenhal!" said Lady Maggie.

"Can we take Harrenhal? Harrenhal has only been attacked once by the Dragons of House Targaryen since it was built. The dragon entered Harrenhal from the sky. Luce Bolton said slowly.

"Then go west and attack Duke Tywin. ”

"To the west, can our two legs run through the cavalry of the Magic Mountain?" said Lustbolton, his faint eyes as he looked at Madame Maggie.

"Well, what do you mean, we should cut down the bamboo poles here to make fishing rods, move a stool by the Green Fork River, and start fishing?" said Lady Maggie angrily.

"Lord Robb is invincible in the West. Luthbolton said slowly, "Duke Tywin has suffered frequent defeats in the Red Fork River, and there is an army of the Brotherhood without Banners who is constantly intercepting and killing the rear grain and grass troops of the Westlanders, how long do you think the Magic Mountain can stay in Harrenhal?"

"What do you mean, my lord, let's continue to wait until the Demon Mountain is called to the west, and then we will march?"

"Yes!"

"What kind of battle is this?Lord Luce, you're not as brave as a rabbit!" one of the generals laughed, "What if Tywin doesn't make the Mountain abandon Harrenhal?"

"General Boswell, you want to march, you can cross the river at any time. Lusbolton said lightly, he looked around at the generals, indifferent to the dissatisfaction on their faces, "If you want to march, just cross the river." The river is there!"

No one answered, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

"We only have two ways at the moment, the first way, cross the river and lure the Magic Mountain to a decisive battle, he should not fight, once the gate is closed, we only need a few hundred men to defend, we will not be able to take Harrenhal. The second option is to wait here for the final collapse of Duke Tywin. ”

"Until the end of the war, we just shrank here as turtles. Maggie snorted contemptuously.

Luthbolton looked at Maggie and said calmly: "We are here, although we have not been able to achieve war success, we will not be wiped out because of rashness. We can't take the Magic Mountain, so will the Magic Mountain take us? As long as the Demon Mountain dares to come, I assure you that this battlefield we have carefully laid out is the place where he died. ”

"Then why not cross the river with a large army and set up such a position on the opposite bank?" said Mei Ji, "If the Demon Mountain continues not to fight, then push the army ten miles further and set up a large formation of pits in the open space." As long as we press step by step and keep provoking, the magic mountain will definitely not be able to hold its breath, the so-called invisible military strategist beside him can persuade him for the first time, but not for the tenth time. ”

King's Landing. Rose Street. Littlefinger's brothel.

"Bernie, don't come to my brothel next time. Littlefinger admonished.

Bernie grinned and glanced at the four red-robed guards outside the gate of the brothel: "Your Excellency is so afraid of the red-robed guards, why do you want the little devil to arrange four guards for you?"

"I naturally have a reason for this. Littlefinger's sly gaze flashed.

"Oh, let the little devil arrange for four guards to watch over you, so that the little devil will think that your every move is in the palm of his hand?, so that he will no longer be wary of you?!"

"That's true. ”

"Your Excellency is brilliant. ”

"I can't help it!" Littlefinger sighed, "I hate my father now. ”

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"He's supposed to train me in swordsmanship from a young age, so I don't have to worry about a little bastard walking down the street and slashing my throat with a knife. ”

"You don't have to worry about it now!" Bernie gestured out the door.

"Using the Queen Mother's personal guards for a long time and not paying military salaries is actually not authentic!"

"Well, the conscience and kindness of the adults have always been admired by me. "Bernie's eloquence is top-notch. In the days when he relied on ventriloquism to break through the rivers and lakes, he was able to speak like a river to nobles and low-level gangsters.

"Take things out. Littlefinger said.

"What's that?"

"You won't come to me for no reason, it must be Lord Demon Mountain's order. ”

"I'm actually here to take care of your business, and I have a message for you by the way. ”

"Say!"

Bernie looked at the beauties coming out the door, his eyes glowing green all the time. They didn't close the door, Littlefinger thought that closing the door would alert the guards, but if they didn't close the door, the guards were relieved, and he was relieved, anyway, the guards couldn't hear what they were saying, and that's it.

"Lord Demon Mountain wants to enter King's Landing, you have to find a way to get the little demon to ask him to enter the city in the name of the Prime Minister to take charge of the battle against the Baratheon family. ”

Little Finger was stunned, this task of the Magic Mountain was very abrupt and extremely difficult.

Little Finger then went to the wine cabinet first, opened the door, took out a bottle of wine and a glass, and let himself drink a glass of wine to suppress the shock.

"Don't you want me a drink?" Bernie shrugged.

"It will show that we are close to you, what if you are seen by someone who cares?"

"Not giving me alcohol will also make people think we're close. ”

"No, you painted your makeup, and no one could recognize you as Bernie. If I don't give you alcohol, it will make people think that you are a low-status comic actor or a clown, a moon boy or something like that. ”

"I don't even deserve wine?"

"I can give you good wine, but I will never drink with you here. The details need to be perfect. ”

"Okay, then it's time for me to go. ”

"Wait. ”

Bernie paused: "You're going to invite me for a drink?"

"Never!"

"So do you have a message for me to bring to Lord Magic Mountain?"

"I can't get the little devil to take the initiative to invite Lord Demon Mountain into the city and take charge of the military. Lan Li was supported by the 100,000 army of the Tyrell family, Stannis not only invited a large number of mercenaries, but even pirates, and Lord Magic Mountain should avoid this battle, his manpower is only 3,000, and he can't withstand the toss. ”

"You still don't know about us. Bernie sat down and said in a light tone, "When we were in Cregan, we took great pains and energy, lasted more than half a year, and gained 1,800 soldiers; after a month in Harrenhal, we gained more than 600 soldiers, all of whom were veterans; in the Battle of the Green Fork River, we had 1,100 soldiers, all of whom were fierce mountain men; and now the total number of troops has exceeded 4,000, of which more than 1,000 are cavalry. β€œ

"No, no, no, as far as I know, the maximum number of cavalry of the Lord is eight hundred. ”

"In the last few days, the Lord has added two hundred archers, and all of them are veterans. ”

"Which town did the Lord attack?" Little Finger frowned, and the names of countless castles near Harrenhal swirled in his mind, "My lord went to attack the town of Nuquan hundreds of miles away?

Bernie replied, "Lord Petyr, do you calculate, if Lord Demonic Mountain enters King's Landing to command an army and fights Baratheon, will his forces decrease or increase?"

"If you are defeated, you will have no soldiers, and even your own life will be worried. ”

"If the Lord is not sure of victory, do you think he will let you find a way to get him into the city early?"

Littlefinger was silent.

Bernie stood up, didn't greet Littlefinger, and walked away.

"Wait!"

"Got a message?" Bernie looked back at Littlefinger.

"Lord Magic Mountain's problem is very tricky, if he writes to the king himself, he has a better chance of coming to the city. ”

"He asked you to think of a way, and let the king give him an order to invite him into the city, and he said that you will think of a good way, and that you are a clever bad fellow, and you will definitely come up with a good way." ”

"The king and the queen mother are fine, but the little devil is not easy to fool. Now that the little devil is the prime minister, he has full authority to handle the affairs of the kingdom, and that guy has always been prejudiced against me. ”

Obviously, he planted the little devil and almost killed the little devil! But Littlefinger thinks that the little devil is prejudiced against him, and he is unfair to him in many things, targeting him.

"Yes, the adults have also said this, the little devil is not easy to fool, the adult wants me to remind you, think about what the little devil lacks the most, what he wants the most. β€œ

"I've fooled the little devil, and Duke Tywin is in trouble too. I've heard that Duke Tywin was defeated by Edmure at the Red Fork, and Robb invaded the West, conquering cities and lands, fighting small battles, and being invincible, even Stafranister had been beheaded by him, and the West was in turmoil, and many of his people fled to Riverlands and King's Landing. ”

"Lord Petyr, you know what you know, Lord Demon Mountain must know it. I won't say more, but I would like to remind you that if Lord Demonic Mountain had entered the city as he wished, won a great victory, stabilized the situation, and helped the Lannisters hold the Red Keep, do you think that Duke Tywin would have thought of anything wrong with it? He would only reward the little devil for his wisdom and the Lord Magic Mountain for his meritorious service. ”

I have to say that Bernie is really a waste of talent if he doesn't do intelligence work and diplomatic fooling work.

Littlefinger, like Little Devil, is a person who is not easy to fool, but Bernie's every word is on point, and Littlefinger can't even refute it.

The task is given, Littlefinger, do you want to do it?

Of course it is!

The mission of the Magic Mountain, unless the Magic Mountain takes it back by itself.

"So, what does the little devil lack the most at the moment, and what does he want the most?" Littlefinger reminded Bernie. He knew that this was the words of the Magic Mountain, and Bernie was just a retelling.

"Lord Demon Mountain asked me to tell you, if you feel embarrassed, then the little devil has two problems, one is food, and the other is security in the city. ”

"I've solved the food, and the hounds have solved the security. ”

"There are two other sentences in my letter that I have not told you, the first sentence is that there are difficulties to be raised, and if there are no difficulties, there are difficulties to be created. It's called 'rising to the challenge'. ”

What kind of person Littlefinger was, he immediately understood what to do. This kind of conspirator, you can't point at all, a little is transparent.

"What about the second sentence?" Littlefinger to the Demon Mountain and the others had gone from being forced to give in to being amazed. He vaguely felt that the mind of the Magic Mountain seemed to be as developed as his muscles.

Please refer to the first sentence. ”
