Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 113 Old Ward’s Suspicion

In the Twins, Marquis Walder Frey endured the severe pain caused by gout in his body and looked through the latest information sent to him on the table. He had to analyze every piece of information carefully so that the Frey family would not This is his way of being in the world when the ship capsizes due to major changes in the situation.

After he read the latest piece of information from King’s Landing, he relaxed slightly and picked up another piece of information from Riverrun, but the pain in his body made him unable to concentrate.

He sat back on the chair and waved to his granddaughter who was standing beside him, asking her to stand next to him. Then he reached in and kneaded inside the clothes. The feeling from his palms made him feel refreshed and at the same time. The pain in his body weakened a lot.

He didn’t remember the name of this granddaughter, but he knew that she was the daughter of one of his sons, or maybe the daughter of a grandson. He had many granddaughters or great-granddaughters like this around him, and these were all his “filial piety” Sons” were sent over, and sometimes they even did not hesitate to send their wives to please themselves.

He liked this feeling very much and hoped that he could sit down for a long time, so he kept his eyes on his sons and grandsons. They could fight among themselves, but if they dared to put their ideas behind his butt, they would On the seat, then he will not hesitate to get rid of these restless elements. You must know that he is the person who values ​​the family’s “loyalty” the most.

After the pain in his body eased a little, he let go of his hand, asked his granddaughter to stand aside, and focused on the document again.

He picked up the document just now and looked at it. This intelligence document was sent from Riverrun. The main content in it was that his lord Hoster Tully’s condition was improving and he had regained consciousness a few days ago. Hoster Tully will summon the allied forces of the Riverlands to Riverrun and give them to the command of Blackfish Brynden Tully, who will go south to support King Robert in his encirclement and suppression of the Iron Islands.

“Is this old guy crazy?” After reading this information, Old Wade threw it on the ground and couldn’t help cursing: “Now that we have transferred all the people to the Western Region, aren’t we worried about those outside Haijiang City? Are the Ironborn going south?”

In the study, Steveron Frey, the heir to the Frey family, was also assisting Old Walder in handling official duties. The gray-haired man looked older than his father. He stood up and picked up the food. Old Walder looked at the intelligence documents that he had thrown on the ground and said: “In the list of allied forces in the Riverlands, apart from our Frey family, there is also no Blackwood family in Crowtree Hall. Duke Tully will not be planning to do so.” Use the Blackwood family and our family to prevent the Ironborn from going south outside Seaside City, and trap the Ironborn in Seaside City?”

After hearing his son’s words, Old Walder seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly found an instruction document sent from Riverrun among a pile of documents. This document had not been opened by Old Walder since it was sent, because he thought that this At that time, these documents were nothing more than summoning lords to lead troops south, and there was no need to read them. Now it seems that the content of this document may be different from what he thought.

After opening the file, Old Walder looked at it carefully, with a gloomy look on his face. Apparently Steveron’s guess was right. Riverrun really wanted him to guard the Twins’ main road. Let the Ironborn of Seaside City cross the river, and the words are very strict. If the Ironborn cross the Green Fork River, it will be regarded as the Frey family betraying the Iron Throne.

Obviously, this document is forcing the Frey family to contribute, so that they can no longer wait leisurely for everything to be resolved as before before deleting it too late.

“Damn old guy, why didn’t you freeze to death in that ice storm?” Old Walder couldn’t help but curse again.

At this time, there was a sudden knocking sound outside the door, and then the door was opened. Little Walder Frey, Steveron’s grandson, known as Black Walder, walked in with a raven letterhead. Said: “Grandfather, great-grandfather, there is news from the Carin Bay.”

“Calyn Bay?” Old Walder was stunned and said disdainfully: “Victarion Greyjoy also learned to write a letter of surrender like his nephew?”

Steveron took the letter from his son, looked at it, and said, “Father, this is not a letter written by Victarion, but a letter written by Eddard Stark, Duke of the North.”

Old Walder was slightly startled and said: “A letter from the Duke of the North from Carlin Bay? Has Carlin Bay been recaptured by the North?”

After reading the entire letter, Steve Lun said: “Yes, Carlin Bay was indeed recaptured, but it was not the army of the North, but the army of Lind, the Chosen One.”

“Linde, the Chosen One?” Old Walder hesitated, thought about it carefully, and said, “Is he the Chosen Warrior as recognized by the Church of the Seven Gods?”

“Yes, father.” Steveron handed the letter in his hand to Old Walder, then recalled the documents he had seen before, and said: “There was a territory-wide notification document sent from King’s Landing, which mentioned King Robert seems to have appointed the Chosen One, Lynd Terra, as the Commander-in-Chief of Suppression of Bandits throughout the Seven Kingdoms.”

While listening to his son’s report, Old Walder looked at the contents of the letter in his hand. Although the letter only briefly mentioned the process of regaining Carlin Bay, he could see some special things based on his experience. Among them There is the combat effectiveness of the army under the command of God’s Chosen Linde.

It only took less than a day to recapture the Gulf of Cailin and annihilate more than 3,000 ironmen in the Gulf. This kind of combat power was astonishing in his opinion.

He had been to Carlin Bay when he was young and knew that Carlin Bay was an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place. It only took a few thousand people to stand there to block the passage of tens of thousands of people, and unless it cost tens of thousands of lives, Stack, otherwise, it would be difficult to break through the Gulf of Carlin guarded by thousands of people through a strong attack.

This is not to say how strong the city wall of Carlin Bay is and how perfect the city defense is, but the environment of Carlin Bay is too special. It is surrounded by swamps that are difficult to stand on. There is only a causeway connected to the city gate. There was no place to stand, let alone fight.

Moreover, there are also a large number of lizards and other carnivorous swamp beasts living in the swamp. They are the best castle defenders. Once the blood flows in the swamp, the smell of blood will attract a large number of carnivorous swamp beasts. Attacked from both inside and outside, no matter how many lives are taken, it will not be enough.

Therefore, when Old Walder heard that the Gulf of Cailin had been occupied by the Ironborn in a sneak attack, and that the Ironborn had sent more than 3,000 warriors to guard the Gulf of Cailin, he could be sure that the northern army could not go south again.

Now Lind, the Chosen One, has regained the Gulf of Carlin so easily, which makes Old Walder wonder how many lives Lind has filled in here.

“How many troops did Linde, the Chosen One, lead to attack the Gulf of Cailin?” Old Walder was full of doubts and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

At this time, Black Walder suddenly replied: “There should be only more than 2,000 people, less than 3,000.”

“How do you know there are only more than two thousand people?” Steve Lun asked.

Black Wald replied: “Some time ago, someone reported that they saw an army of more than 2,000 people walking on the King’s Road, heading north. The flag of the team was a long sword flag with a red background. It must be the chosen one. The army of

“There are only more than two thousand people? How did this happen?” Old Walder and Steve Lun both looked shocked.

Just when several people were shocked by this achievement, Steveron’s eldest son Lyman Frey appeared outside the unlocked door. He walked in with a panicked expression and said: “Father, grandfather, there is someone coming from outside the city.” An army.”

“Ironborn troops are dispatched so soon?” Old Frey looked shocked and said in a deep voice.

“No, it’s not the people from the south, it’s from the north.” Seeing that Old Frey had misunderstood, Lyman quickly explained: “It’s an army of cavalry, with about five thousand people. The flags held by those people have never been seen before. It doesn’t seem to be the flag of the Riverlands nobles.”

Steve Lun asked in a deep voice: “What does their flag look like?”

Lyman quickly replied: “One is painted with silver caltrops, one is painted with giants, and there is a long sword with a red background and a strange symbol on the hilt.”

“The silver bristle belongs to the Fu Deli family in Tengshi Town. The current patriarch of the Fu Deli family, Count Nymeria, has a very good relationship with the God’s Chosen One Linde. The giant flag should be the Amber family in the north, and the red sword flag is the God’s Chosen One. Linde’s flag.” Steveron, who was very knowledgeable about noble heraldry, quickly gave the answer to the question of how to make these flags.

“It came so fast? The letter had just been delivered, and the person was already here.” Old Walder’s expression became serious. After thinking for a while, he pressed his hand on the table, stood up, and waved to his granddaughter. , asked her to come over to support him, held the crutch with his other hand, and said, “Let’s go! Let’s go see this God’s Chosen One.”

Outside the castle on the north bank of the Twins, Lind’s army was neatly arrayed not far from the city gate. Jon stepped forward to inform them of their identities and asked the Twins to open the door immediately to let the army pass.

However, the gate officer of Twins City refused Jon’s request on the grounds that he was of low status and could not decide whether to open the door or not. He only agreed to send someone to the main castle to inform Marquis Walder Frey, and the Marquis would decide.

Jon was naturally extremely angry at this answer and wanted to scold the Freys for their rudeness, but Lynde stopped him and asked him to tell the gatekeeper as long as the Freys did not clear the Twins before dark. The gates were opened to allow his troops to pass, and then he would declare the Freys’ rebellion against the Iron Throne in his capacity as the bandit-suppressing commander of all the Seven Kingdoms given to him by the king.

Upon hearing Linde’s threat, the officials on the city wall immediately panicked and immediately sent several more people to the main castle to report the news, because it was already evening, the sun was setting in the west, and it would soon get dark.

About when the sky was only a bright red in the west, the city gate of Twin River City was opened, and then Old Walder, his son, grandson and great-grandson were seen walking out of the door and came to the forest. In front of virtue.

Before Old Walder spoke, Lind, who was sitting on the horse, asked directly towards Old Walder: “Marquis Walder, are you still loyal to the Iron Throne?”

“Of course, the Frey family has always been loyal to the Iron Throne and has never changed its mind.” Old Walder stood up slightly and replied.

Linde said very directly: “In this case, I am going to go to Haijiang City through Twin River City to suppress the rebellion. I need you to support a team of cavalry, consisting of three thousand people.”

Old Walder’s expression froze, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal and said, “It takes time to build an army.”

Linde did not give Old Ward any chance to reply, and said: “I’m sorry, Lord Marquis, I don’t have any extra time for you. Your army must be ready when I pass the Twins City, do you understand?”

Old Walder was completely suppressed by Linde’s momentum at this moment. It was difficult to even raise his head, let alone talk back. He held the arm of his granddaughter next to him hard to prevent himself from being overwhelmed by Linde’s momentum. He was crushed, and at the same time, he made his tone more stable and said: “I understand, I will prepare a supporting army for you immediately.”

Linde nodded, waved his hand and ordered, “Enter the city.”

Following Linde’s instructions, the army began to slowly enter the Twin River City.

When Lind’s horse passed by the Frey family, they discovered that there was a giant beast hidden in the projection of Lind’s horse sitting on it. This giant beast looked at it with its vertical pupils. The Frey family made everyone’s hair stand on end.

After Linde disappeared from the Twins City, Old Walder’s tight body relaxed a little, and the hand holding his granddaughter loosened. The place where his granddaughter was held had turned purple, and his granddaughter But he didn’t dare to cry, so he could only endure it.

“Stevie Lun, you immediately organize three thousand cavalry and follow Lynde Terra south to put down the rebellion. Do whatever he orders. Don’t give him any excuses.” Old Walder didn’t pay attention to his granddaughter’s injuries and turned his head. He gave an order to his son, and then to Black Walder, saying: “Go and investigate immediately to see if our family had any enmity with this God’s Chosen One in the past. Why did he target us like this?”

“Aimed at us?” Several Freys were stunned, not understanding what Old Walder meant.

Seeing the stupidity of his children and grandchildren, Old Walder couldn’t help rolling his eyes and said: “He just came to destroy our Frey family. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise, he would have been killed by him.” With the name of rebellion, a person will not target a noble family for no reason. We must have had a grudge against him in the past. We must find out what is going on, otherwise we will never be stared at by such a terrible guy. Don’t even think about it.”

While Old Walder was teaching his children and grandchildren, Nymeria rode up to Lind and asked in confusion: “Do you have any grudge against the Frey family?”

“No.” Linde shook his head and said, “Why do you think I have a grudge against him?”

“I just felt like you were looking for an opportunity to destroy the Frey family?” Nymeria looked at Lind in confusion.

“Really? Is it so obvious?” Linde was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: “You don’t have to think about it. I have no grudge against the Frey family. I just don’t like him. I want to teach him a lesson, but he avoids me.” After that, there may not be a chance to teach him a lesson for a long time, so let’s let him go for now!”
