Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 108 Prepare in advance

After Lind returned to the camp, he told everyone their subsequent actions.

After hearing this, everyone did not feel timid at all. Instead, they were all very excited. From the moment they set out, they were looking forward to making a name for themselves in this counterinsurgency battle, but they did not expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

Daisy volunteered: “I have spent some time in Carlin Bay, and I am quite familiar with the terrain in that area. I can be a guide.”

“Many of my men have also spent time in Kalin Bay. They are more suitable as guides.” Scar Eye also came forward and asked Ying.

“With locals as guides, are you more familiar with the terrain than the locals?” Jon retorted to the two of them.

Linde stopped the argument and said: “We will decide what to do after we get to the local area. What you have to do now is to pack your things and travel lightly. According to the previous rules, tents and excess dry food can be temporarily replenished. Leave all the baggage behind and bring more food and fodder for the horses. We must keep going and don’t let the horses starve.”

“Yes, sir.” Everyone responded, then left the temporary tent and went down to prepare according to Linde’s instructions.

Nymeria was also about to leave, but was stopped by Lind. He said apologetically: “Sorry, I originally wanted to take you around King’s Landing, but I didn’t expect…”

“It doesn’t matter! I think fighting is more interesting.” Nymeria stepped forward and lowered her head to kiss Lind. Then she looked in the direction of King’s Landing, frowned and said, “Besides, there is nothing to see in King’s Landing. , it stinks so much, it’s so different from what I imagined.”

Lynde nodded in agreement, but did not explain that the reason why it was so smelly was because the road James took them was next to Flea Bottom, the gathering place for the poor in King’s Landing.

Although other areas of King’s Landing are pretty good now, judging from the municipal conditions he saw along the way, in a few years, other urban areas will probably be similar to Flea Bottom.

After nightfall, King’s Landing sent the prepared dry food over, and the person who sent the dry food was Varys.

“Our affairs may have been known to Jon Arryn.” Lind met Varys alone and directly stated his suspicions in the first sentence.

“The reason?” Wallis asked simply.

So Linde told some details of what he observed in the courtyard of the Red Castle.

“You just took a second look at you and me because of Jon Arryn, and that’s it…” Varys originally wanted to say that Lind was overthinking it, but he suddenly stopped, with a look of doubt on his face. His expression seemed to remember something, and he said suddenly: “I see, you are right, Duke Aylin does know that you are connected with me.”

Lind did not ask in detail what happened to Varys, but directly asked: “What should we do now?” After saying that, he paused and said somewhat abruptly: “Do you want to get rid of Jon Arryn?”

Upon hearing this, Varys immediately shook his head and said, “No! If Duke Arryn dies, our King Robert will lose control, and he will mess up the entire Seven Kingdoms as he pleases.” As he said that, he suddenly became alert. He looked at Linde and said, “Were you testing me just now?”

“It’s not a test, I just want to know what your purpose is?” Linde smiled and said.

“Then what was the result of your test?” Wallis asked with a smile.

Lind looked at Wallis and said: “You hope that society will be stable and peaceful, and you don’t like war and disputes, so you will choose a king who can stabilize society. Although the mad king is crazy, it is only for the noble lords, and for the people at the bottom , the Mad King can be regarded as a wise king, so you have always assisted him until he planned to bring the entire people of King’s Landing to death together. If my guess is correct, Jaime Lannister should have listened to you. That’s why you decided to kill the king, right?”

“I really doubt you are a wizard!” The smile on Wallis’s face gradually faded.

Lynde said again: “King Robert is not what you want?”

Varys was silent for a moment and said: “He is not suitable to be a king. It would be better for Duke Aylin to be the king.”

“I understand.” Linde nodded and did not continue the topic. Instead, he turned back and asked, “What should we do now?”

“Don’t do anything.” Varys said calmly: “Jon Arryn is a person who respects the rules very much. He will not make any judgment on anything he doubts before getting conclusive evidence. And he also attaches great importance to political stability. As long as we don’t do anything to harm the Baratheon Dynasty, even if he has conclusive evidence of our friendship, he will not take any action against us.”

Lind looked at Varys and said, “It seems that you admire Duke Arryn very much.”

Varys nodded without concealment and said, “He is one of the most suitable people I have ever seen to be a king. His ability to become King Robert’s hand is the luckiest thing for the people of the Seven Kingdoms.”

After saying that, he seemed unwilling to continue this topic. He handed over the prepared intelligence information about Carlin Bay, Seaside City, Fortress, Cliff City, Fairy City and other places to Linde, and then prepared to leave.

But Linde stopped him again and asked: “Is there any way for you to take out the keel bones from under the Red Fort and transport them to Tengshi Town?”

Wallis was stunned and looked at Linde with some doubts, but did not ask for the specific reason. He just thought about it for a moment and said, “No problem, but I have to disguise myself in advance to avoid being discovered. Time may It needs to be longer.”

After hearing this, Linde thought for a while and said, “In that case, then after I obtain the territory, just send the keel directly to my territory!”

“Territory?” Wallis said with a surprised look on his face: “You have been able to obtain the territory?”

“Yes.” Lind nodded and said, “The territory is probably located on the Dorne border, at the junction of Weir City, Blackport and Stonehelm City.”

“That enclave of the Tyrell family?” Varys knew the location of each lord’s territory very clearly. He soon knew the location of the territory Lind mentioned, and he also frowned and said, “Then This land is not peaceful. If you go there, you may have to deal with four lords.”

“Four families?” Linde asked doubtfully: “Aren’t there just the Weir family, the Dondarrion family and the Swin family?”

Varys explained: “There is also the Morrigan family of Crow’s Nest. They occupy part of the land in the Redguard Valley. That land nominally belongs to the Tyrell family.”

Linde said confidently: “Crow’s Nest Castle? It doesn’t matter. There won’t be much trouble if there is one more Crow’s Nest Castle.”

In the past, Wallis might have questioned where his confidence came from, but now, after seeing a large number of various battle reports about Linde cleaning up the forces around Tengshi Town, he can be sure that in a frontal battlefield, those four Even if everyone joins forces, they may not be Linde’s opponent, and he is also glad that he can become an ally with Linde.

After saying that he would collect all the intelligence information on the four lord families as soon as possible, Varys left the camp.

Linde did not stay in the camp, but walked around the camp to check the army’s preparations. Then he walked out of the camp alone and came to a small hill to look at King’s Landing.

At this time, Glory silently walked out from the shadow of the trees and came to Lind’s side. He lay down and rested his head on Lind’s arm. When Lind rubbed its head, it let out a sigh of comfort. purred.

Although it seems that Lind is looking at King’s Landing at this moment, in fact Lind is checking his golden finger at this moment.

Since receiving the inheritance of the Lost Knight, Goldfinger’s growth has become very slow. It was so slow that it took more than a year for it to reach less than one-tenth of the progress. Calculated at such a slow progress, even if If it takes more than ten years, I’m afraid that the progress bar of the golden finger may not be filled up.

Therefore, Linde was wondering if he had used the wrong method. He should not just wait for the progress bar to fill up. There should be other ways to increase the speed.

Lind thought about the magic of this world, but quickly rejected it, because he had been exposed to many magic points before, from the godswood in Highgarden, to the towering towers in Oldtown, to the Divine Grace Mountains in Dorne. , those are magic points with abnormal magic power compared to the normal world, but the results are useless.

After that, he thought about Glory again, wondering whether Glory could also improve the progress of Golden Finger after swallowing the energy of the resentful soul. But after thinking carefully, he also rejected this speculation.

Because Glory swallowed the resentful soul energy twice, it did not have any impact on Gold Finger’s progress bar, and the power it transferred to his body was more to help him complete the absorption and fusion of the Dragon Feast Ritual.

In the end, Lind placed his hope of speeding up the progress bar above the Dragon Feast Ceremony. He felt that since the legacy of the Lost Knight came from Goldfinger, the Dragon Feast Ceremony from the Lost Knight might have an impact on the progress bar.

The reason why Lind paid attention to Goldfinger again was entirely because the appearance of monsters such as the Three-Eyed Crow and Green-Handed Garth gave him a sense of crisis.

Although Linde’s current strength can be said to be invincible, no matter how powerful a warrior is, he cannot compete with him. However, this kind of invincibility is only for humans. In the world of ice and fire, there are too many monsters, ghosts, and snakes. The power of these mysterious beings is elusive. Once he becomes an enemy, Linde has no chance of surviving in the hands of these monsters and monsters.

Not to mention those monsters and monsters, just dragons are enough for Linde to eat a pot. Although there are ways to slay dragons in the inheritance of the Lost Knight, such as using dragon runes to create hurricanes and ice, binding the dragon to the ground, and then Use the Thunder Dragon rune to pierce the dragon’s scales to give the dragon a fatal attack.

But Linde knew very well that if he cast the same dragon rune in this world, it would be difficult to produce the kind of power he had in his inherited memory. After all, the difference in magic concentration between the two worlds was too big.

Therefore, Linde could only place his hope on Goldfinger again, hoping that Goldfinger would gain more power after reaching its full schedule.

Now Linde could feel that the effects of the Dragon Feast Ritual were almost completely absorbed by him, so he found Varys, prepared the dragon bones first, and then performed the Dragon Feast Ritual when the time was right.

Just as Lind’s team arrived suddenly, his team left very suddenly, disappearing from the camp outside the city before dawn, leaving only a team of logistics personnel to cooperate with the golden robes sent by King’s Landing to guard the baggage.

The lords and nobles who were originally prepared to make friends with Linde because of his reputation did not have time to say hello to him. Everyone was curious about where Linde led his troops. Some well-informed people thought that he might have arrived at King’s Landing with Linde. Later, he went to the Red Keep to meet King Robert.

More than ten days later, the Reach support troops brought by Randyll Tarly also arrived outside King’s Landing, and planned to meet Lind, a legend in the Reach.

However, what surprised him was that after Linde had just arrived at King’s Landing, he immediately led his troops to leave King’s Landing, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

At first, Randyll Tarly was a little unhappy, thinking that Lind’s leaving without permission was an act of pampering, but when he learned that Lind’s departure was related to King Robert, his unhappy mood subsided slightly. , but his first impression of Lind was still not very good, because in his opinion, even if Lind was assigned by King Robert to do something, he should have informed him, the commander of the Allied Forces in the Reach, instead of like Now he, the commander of the coalition forces in the Reach, needs to know the movements of his subordinate armies through other people.

However, Randyll Tarly was not a person who abandoned his official duties for personal reasons. He soon put the matter of Lind behind and began to participate in the rescue of the West and the conquest of the Iron Throne Rebellion.

As a famous general in the Seven Kingdoms, the man who defeated King Robert on the frontal battlefield, King Robert had no resentment or dissatisfaction with Randyll Tarly, but only respect, and even added a seat in the royal council for him. , allowing him to fully participate in the meeting.

In fact, Randyll Tarly had nothing to decide when he participated in the meeting, because all matters had been discussed and arranged during the royal meeting. The only thing Randyll Tarly needed to do was Learn about the entire counterinsurgency plan and how his Reach forces will fight.

Generally speaking, the army in the Reach only needs to be responsible for two things. One is to cooperate with the army in the West to eliminate the Ironborn bandits roaming the West, and the second is to serve as a support team for the team attacking the Iron Islands head-on. support.

As for the troops attacking the Iron Islands, the troops from the Stormlands, Vale, Riverlands and the North will be responsible.

Randyll Tully felt a little displeased when he learned that his troops were doing odd jobs, but he didn’t say anything, because in his eyes, obeying orders was the basic quality of a soldier.

However, when leaving the conference hall, he couldn’t help his curiosity and asked about Linde’s whereabouts.

The answer given by King Robert was that Linde had gone on a secret mission. Don’t ask more about this answer. As for other important ministers in the royal council, they also remained silent.

This also made Randyll Tully even more curious about what mission Lind was performing, which was so mysterious.
