Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 105 Recruitment

The next morning, Lind woke up out of habit, looked at Nymeria beside him, and gently moved his hand away from her.

“Who is it!” Although Lind’s movement was slight, it still woke up Nymeria.

At first, Nymeria, who was used to sleeping alone, thought something had happened, and instinctively waved her hand towards Lind, but after her hand was caught by Lind, and she saw clearly who was next to her, she felt After noticing all the strange things on her body, she immediately realized what was going on. The man’s cheeks turned red and he buried his head under the pillow.

Lind kissed Nymeria and said, “You sleep a little longer, and I’ll go to the stable to see the little guy.”

“No, I’ll go with you!” Nymeria shook her head and sat up.

Lind did not refuse. The two of them got up from the bed. Nymeria shook the bedside bell. The maid came in to help them put on their clothes. Lind and Nymeria also put on the weapons placed beside the bed. superior.

Although neither of them would wear armor many times in Tengshi Town, they would wear weapons at all times. After all, in such an environment, who could know when a fatal attack would occur.

When the two left the castle, they met many knights and officials under their command. When they saw Linde and Nymeria, they all showed ambiguous smiles on their faces, until they saw the faces of Linde and Nymeria. When everyone showed an unhappy expression, he restrained himself a little.

When the two arrived at the stable, Rossos was standing at the entrance of the stable with several of his men, discussing something in a low voice.

“What’s wrong?” Linde came over and asked.

After Rossos saw Lind, he immediately praised him sincerely: “Sir, is that little guy in the stable your new groom? That’s incredible.”

After hearing Rossos’ words, Linde and Nymeria looked into the stable at the same time.

I saw Brienne, who had a lot of bruises on her face, standing on the horse stool, washing Black Blade’s fur, while Black Blade stood there honestly and did not attack her. It looked like what happened last night Many things happened.

“It’s ready.” Lind walked into the stable and said to Brienne.

After hearing this, Brienne looked at Lind, but she did not stop washing the horse’s back with her hands. She still stubbornly brushed every piece of fur on Black Feng’s body.

While Brienne was brushing her hair, Ebony seemed very impatient. He turned around and snorted at Brienne from time to time, but he did not attack Brienne again. He just tried to lie down on her when Brienne tried to lie down on her. Take a few steps away.

Although he didn’t know how Brienne did it, Lind could tell that Ebon Blade didn’t resent Brienne’s approach.

After completely brushing Ebon Blade’s fur, Brienne jumped off the horse stool, walked up to Lind with a tired look, and said, “I have brushed your horse, my lord.”

Lin De said seriously: “From today on, Black Feng will be taken care of by you. You still need to clean my armor. In addition, you will have to learn knowledge from Bachelor Ives every day. In the evening, I will train you in swordsmanship. I The training is very strict. If you don’t meet my requirements, I will keep training you, do you understand?”

“Yes, my lord.” Brienne replied loudly.

“Very good, now you can go and have a rest. Everything will start tomorrow.” Lind turned to Rothos and said: “Rothos, take Brienne to the fortress now and arrange it next to my room. Also prepare some suitable sets of clothes, leather armor and weapons for her.”

“Okay, sir.” Rossos nodded, waved to Brienne, and said, “Come here, little guy.”

“My name is Brienne, sir.” Brienne walked up to Rothos and said.

“Okay, Brienne.” Rossos smiled and led Brienne out of the stable and towards the fortress.

For the next four days, Lind stayed in Nymeria’s room. After that, he led the team to the east side of the Rose Avenue to clean up the bandits, wildling tribes and mountain people villages there. Brienne was also killed by Lind. Brought it with me.

This time, the request for advice went extremely smoothly. They encountered no resistance at all along the way. The targets they encountered either surrendered directly, or moved to the Crimson Mountains or deep in the Royal Forest in advance to avoid Linde’s arrival. Open Linde’s front.

Linde was also a little surprised by this situation. He did not know that the clearing operation in the area west of Rose Avenue would be far more influential than he expected.

With only more than a thousand people, he swept across a large area of ​​land west of Rose Avenue. Each mountain village that surrendered had thousands of people. More than a dozen bandit groups were easily eliminated, and the unruly savage tribes were beaten even more. They surrendered without even fighting, and a total of tens of thousands of people were recruited by Tengshi Town. The shocking effect of such an astonishing record was that not to mention some bandits and mountain people, even the regular garrison troops of various lords would be afraid.

So in just one month, Linde had completed the bandit suppression mission that he had planned to take several months to complete. Seven mountain villages and two savage tribes were incorporated, and eleven bandit groups were wiped out. In a way, the bandit suppression mission assigned by the Duke of Metz has been completed. The next step is to see when Lind will receive his reward.

If it were in the past, there might still be people who would play tricks to snatch away Linde’s credit. After all, Linde was just a helpless knight. But now, even the most greedy people would not have the guts to do this, because Lin De Behind De is not only Willas Tyrell, the heir to Highgarden, but also the Church of the Seven Gods as his backer.

In the eyes of the Church of the Seven Gods, especially the Archbishop of the Starry Temple, the more brilliant Linde’s performance is, the more he can confirm his identity as the Chosen Warrior, and it is also very beneficial to the faith of the Church of the Seven Gods.

After Linde returned to Tengshi Town, he did not change any habits, nor did he send anyone to High Court to inform him about the situation of suppressing bandits. Instead, he continued to train in Tengshi Town. When he was free, he would go to the Blackwater River to build a military base. Blackwater River Fortress checks the progress of the project, or trains Brienne and Daisy’s practical abilities.

Originally, Linde only trained Brienne alone, but after Daisy saw her, she also expressed the hope of being trained by Linde. Linde did not refuse. For him, one more person would not cause any trouble.

Brienne has obviously gone through very rigorous swordsmanship training, and Linde couldn’t find anything that needed to be changed in her swordsmanship. The only thing that could be trained was the way she moved when using her swordsmanship.

So Lind slightly improved the Peacemaker’s movement pace and some attack skills, handed it over to Brienne, and then let Balin, Rosso and Rossos serve as sparring partners to take turns fighting against Brienne to increase their actual combat capabilities. .

As for Daisy herself, she does not need Lind to teach her other combat skills such as swordsmanship. The Mormont family on Bear Island has already excellent combat skills and is at the forefront of the entire Westeros continent. A group of them, think about which one of the old bear Jeor Mormont, the great bear Jorah Mormont and now Daisy Mormont is not a highly skilled warrior.

After Linde’s analysis, Daisy only had two weaknesses, one was her combat experience against powerful enemies, and the other was her combat experience when being besieged by many people.

As a result, White Deer Wenda and Nymeria naturally became Daisy’s sparring partners, while Lind observed from the sidelines, pointed out the problems that occurred during the fight, and improved her fighting skills little by little.

In this way, more than half a month passed. Early one morning, Lind asked Brienne to prepare the armor and put the saddle on Ebon Blade. He was going to patrol the area around Tengshi Town with Nymeria. Circle, and resolve a few minor conflicts in the relocation villages.

“This time we will only take the 3rd and 4th Cavalry. The others will stay in the town.” Linde put on his armor and ordered the men who gathered around him.

“Yes, sir.” Balin and Rosso responded immediately.

At this time, Nymeria also ordered a knight in the garrison: “Sir Quinn, you also take a hundred people to follow me.”

“Yes, Lord Earl.” The knight nodded.

“What about me?” Brienne handed the broadhand half-sword to Lind and asked.

“You go too.” Lind said, looking at Brienne who was eager to try.

“Yes, my lord.” Brienne took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in her heart and replied.

Unfortunately, Brienne was a little happy too early. When they were ready to go, Bachelor Ives hurried over and handed the two letters to Nymeria and Linde respectively.

Nymeria and Linde looked at each other, then in unison untied the wax seal on the letter, and then read the contents of the letter.

“Balon Greyjoy is king, and the Iron Islands have rebelled!” Nymeria couldn’t help but exclaimed after seeing it, and others around her also showed surprise.

On the contrary, Linde still looked calm. After all, this incident had been expected by him and he had been mentally prepared for it.

What really surprised him was the battle report of the Iron Islands Rebellion. In Lind’s memory, after the Iron Islands Rebellion, they only attacked Lannisport in the West, burned all the Lannister ships docked at the port dock, and destroyed Lannis. The Lannister family’s fleet had not yet been rebuilt until more than ten years later.

However, this time the Iron Islands rebellion caused greater damage. Not only was Lannisport and the Lannister fleet destroyed, but also the Fairy City was completely occupied. The Farman family, the lord of the Fairy City, except for one Janey Farman, Except for those who survived Casterly Rock, all the other members of House Farman were killed by the Ironborn.

In addition, Cliff City and Fortress were also attacked and looted by the Ironborn. The lord families of these two places escaped from the castle secret passage in time without suffering much harm, but they also lost their resistance, and now they are all Take refuge in Branded City.

Not only was the Westerland attacked by the Iron Islands, but even the Seaside City in the Riverlands was besieged by a large number of ironborn.

Originally, the strength of Haijiang City was enough to deal with these iron people. Even if it could not repel the iron people, it could still prevent Haijiang City from being breached. However, the problem was that the city lord of Haijiang City fell ill from the cold during the extreme cold disaster some time ago. Moreover, after such a long time, the disease has not completely recovered, and it keeps coming back again and again.

When the Ironborn besieged Seaside City, he fell ill. Already too ill, he was unable to command the Seaside City garrison to resist the Ironborn attack, while his son Patrick Mallister could only reluctantly To hold the wall, he had to ask the Iron Throne for help.

It can be seen that at this moment, the Iron Islands are already the dominant force on the west coast of Westeros, and they can attack wherever they want.

In addition to introducing the current situation, these two letters also mentioned that King Robert had issued a conscription order to all the lords of the seven kingdoms, ordering the lords from various places to immediately organize armies and assemble in King’s Landing.

These two letters were also orders from the Tyrell family to Lynd and Nymeria, ordering them to organize an army and go directly to King’s Landing.

“How many people should we take?” Nymeria handed the letter in her hand to her subordinates, and then asked Lind.

Lind thought for a while and said, “I definitely want to take them all away. If you want to take them, you can only take a thousand people.”

After making the decision, everyone went to arrange their manpower. Although Lind said that he would take everyone away, in fact he did not take away the two teams of Rossos and Bailu Wenda, but stayed in Tengshi Town.

When they were preparing their troops to head to King’s Landing, Willas’ raven also sent a letter. This letter mainly told Highgarden about some of the support plans.

Linde and Nymeria were the first to go to King’s Landing as the vanguard, and it would take ten days for the others to reach King’s Landing.

However, this time, the Tyrell family did not plan to lead the team themselves. Instead, they asked Randyll Tarly to lead the team. The other supporting lords included the Rowan family, the Crane family, the Fossoway family of the Cider Hall, and the sea. The Tower family and the Redwyne family, among which the Hightower family and the Redwyne family, will support the West in the form of fleets at sea. People from other families will gather in Highgarden and then be sent to King’s Landing.

Among the support team sent this time, there were also acquaintances of Linde. For example, the Klein family sent Joel Fohua, and Matus Rowan, whom he had met several times in Golden Tree City.

In addition, Willas specifically mentioned in the letter that Dorne would not respond to the call of the Iron Throne and would not send a single soldier to save the West. Obviously, for Dorne, suffering in the West is what they most want to see.

At the end of the letter, Vilas also reminded Linde not to waste manpower on this matter and just pretend to be pretentious. He also clearly told Linde that after the rebellion subsided, the High Court would publicly recognize his The task of suppressing the bandits has been completed and his reward has been awarded. When the time comes, he will take people to the High Court to receive the canonization.

When he saw this, Linde felt something was wrong, because Vilas clearly used the word canonization. If he was just rewarded with an enclave and made him a wealthy knight, there would be no need for the word canonization, only the word canonization. The word canonization is used only when commoners become nobles.

“Is it not just giving me territory, but also conferring a title on me?” Linde suddenly made a bold guess, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

It was precisely because of this conjecture that Lind was extremely excited until the team set off, making Nymeria very confused.
