Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 117 Battle Report

Under the leadership of Jon, Lynd soon arrived outside the tent where Dagon Darlo was imprisoned. The guard lifted up the tent and let Lynd in.

Inside the tent, a young man with neat hair and clothes and brownish-red skin sat on a haystack used as a bed. When he saw Linde walking in, he quickly stood up. According to the etiquette of the Church of the Seven Gods, he saluted Linde and said, “Hello, respected Lord Chosen One.”

Linde smiled and said, “Don’t the Iron Islands believe in the Drowned God?”

“I do believe in the Drowned God, but this does not prevent me from paying respect to the Seven Gods.” Dagon Darlo explained: “In my father’s library tower, there are several monks from the Church of the Seven Gods working for him. Taking care of books, I often stayed in the library tower when I was a child. I was taken care of by those monks and learned some knowledge about the Church of the Seven Gods from them. “

The performance of this ironborn aristocratic leader is very different from that of other ironborn. Except for the fact that his skin is brownish-red after the ironborn have been exposed to the sun in the rainforest for a long time at sea, other aspects of his performance make him look more like a year-round soldier. A scholar who is surrounded by books, not like an ironman.

Linde had no intention of discussing theology with him and said very directly: “You told my people that you want to live. Can you tell me why? Who wants to kill you?”

“Many people want me dead, my brother, my aunt, those in the Greyjoy family who are interested in Harlaw Island, etc.,” Dagon sighed, with a look of decline on his face, and suddenly became a little lost. He said naggingly: “The Drowned God also hopes that I can return to his arms, but I want to live. There are still many wonderful things in this world that I have not seen. I want to live until I have seen everything in this world. So far wonderful.”

Hearing Dagon’s words, Lind frowned because he was a little confused as to why the Drowned God was suddenly involved in this matter.

Linde stayed away from the monsters and monsters in this world for the time being. At least until he had the ability to protect himself, he had no intention of getting too close to these things.

But he didn’t know whether what Dagon said just now was just a fantasy of persecutory paranoia, or whether it really involved some mysterious power.

So, he asked Dagon to wait, and then contacted Glory, who was playing outside and venting his energy, and asked him to come back to him.

After a while, Glory rushed back from outside and entered Dagon’s tent.

At this time, Lind shared vision with Glory to see if the Dagon Harlow in front of him had any supernatural power.

The result made him feel a little disappointed, but also very fortunate. There was no trace of extraordinary power in Dagon Harlaw. He was just a normal person. The previous words involving the Drowned God were just the product of some imagination, and Or just random nonsense.

Linde didn’t care about this, because religious people or other occult students in this world were always talking about something magical. For example, the bishop and monks in the Tengshi Town Holy Church always liked to run up to him and talk about something magical. He was already accustomed to God’s words.

“Why do you think you can escape the fate of death by following me?” Linde asked.

Seeing the glory, Dagon had a look of fear on his face, but when he heard Linde’s question, he still answered seriously: “Because you are the chosen one of the Seven Gods, and you can change many things by your side, including The fate of death.”

Hearing Dagon’s answer, Linde was stunned, and then used Glory’s special vision to carefully look at Dagon, but the result was still the same.

It’s no wonder that Linde checked it again, because Dagon’s words exactly corresponded to various things happening around him.

For example, under normal circumstances, Nymeria would have died more than a year ago when Duke Tywin coveted the territory near Tumstone Town. Another example would be Burt Falwell, who would have died in a battle he was not good at. Coincidence aside, Regardless of this factor, he can indeed affect the fate of people around him, allowing people who should have died to survive.

Lind pondered for a moment and asked, “What can I gain if I accept your surrender and let you join me?”

“You can get the friendship of the Harlow family, and you can also get a captain who already has rich naval combat experience and is very skilled in navigation, as well as a large number of sailors who can be used immediately without special training.” Dagon Harlow Erluo replied very seriously: “The Harluo family sent two thousand people to cooperate with Rodrik Greyjoy to attack Haijiang City. These two thousand people did not suffer much losses when you attacked the camp. They can immediately Gather them together and use them for your use. Although most of these two thousand people are just ordinary fishermen and are not really Ironborn warriors who are good at sea battles, they are enough to control the ships. If you can take a boat directly from Eagle Point, go there. When we get to Harluo Island, I believe that with your combat power, Sir, we should be able to take back Harluo Island easily. By then…”

Seeing Dagon Harlaw eager to lead the way and lead Linde to attack his hometown Harlaw Island, Linde couldn’t help but smile, interrupted him to continue, and followed him extremely He said seriously: “I can accept your surrender, but I hate betrayers. I will use various methods to hunt down betrayers until they die.”

“Don’t worry, my lord, I will never betray you.” Dagon Harlow felt that Linde had agreed to join him, and his face couldn’t help but show joy.

However, Lind went on to say: “Your surrender will have to wait until after this war and King Robert has dealt with you prisoners of war. At that time, if King Robert wants to kill you, I will intercede for you. And let King Robert exchange your military exploits for you.”

After saying that, Lind ignored Dagon Harlaw’s stunned expression, turned around and left the tent, and outside the tent, where Dagon could hear the voice, he directly ordered to Jon: “Full of lies without a word. To tell the truth, starve him for two days to make him be honest.”

Although Lind asked Jon to teach Dagon a lesson, this does not mean that Lind will give up on this person. In fact, he has already booked this person as the captain of his fleet, and he did not lie just now, and finally told Dargon Gon’s recruitment would have to wait until the war was over and King Robert had disposed of the prisoners of war.

Recruiting prisoners of war on the battlefield is only for the lower-level warriors. In terms of supplementing combat strength, if the heir of the Iron Islands Lord like Dagon Harlaw recruits him without authorization, he will easily be slandered as a collaborator.

What Linde needs now is to fight steadily to win the territory and title, and his current military merits are enough to be awarded the title. The subsequent recovery of the Fortress, Cliff City and Fairy City will help him take a further step in the title, so there is no It is necessary to create complications for some special actions.

The Frey family of Twin River City had sent troops led by Black Walder to march overnight for two days. Finally, within the time requested by Lind, they arrived at Seaside City to accept the prisoners of war from the Iron Islands.

Two days ago, after receiving the letter sent by Linde using the raven of Seaside City, the Frey family felt that this matter was really incredible, because they knew very well how many Ironborn were besieging Seaside City, and Linde just left They could not believe that all the Ironborn outside Haijiang City were wiped out in one day.

It wasn’t until Black Walder saw the prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp and the corpses piled up and burning in the distance that the doubts in his heart completely dissipated, leaving only fear.

Lind asked Black Walder to take away thousands of prisoners of war, and reminded Black Walder very seriously that the number of these prisoners of war was recorded, and that they would be tried and dealt with by King Robert after the war, and they would be detained in the Twins City. , there cannot be a large number of attrition, otherwise the people from Twin River City will be the ones to bear the burden.

Hearing Linde’s request, Black Walder had a bitter expression on his face until he left. He originally thought he could get a group of free workers for free, but instead he got thousands of uncles who needed to be taken care of.

But he didn’t dare not agree, because he already knew how powerful Linde was from his grandfather Steve Lun. If he did something that didn’t suit Linde’s wishes, then their Twin River City would be in trouble. .

After Black Walder left, Linde handed over two thousand Ironborn prisoners of war to Seaside City, and his requirements for Seaside City were not as harsh as those of Twins City. He only asked that all of these prisoners of war not die.

The remaining two thousand Ironborn prisoners of war were recruited into the team by Lind. These two thousand prisoners of war were not from the Iron Islands, but slave laborers robbed by the Ironborn from other places. Slaves like this were in the Iron Islands. At least half of this invasion team was occupied.

These people themselves were not very loyal to the Greyjoy family. When Lind recruited them, they easily agreed to Lind’s recruitment, and Lind didn’t even tell him the conditions he prepared.

Because of the addition of these ironborn, Linde no longer needed to walk from land to the fortress along the coastline of Ironborn Bay. Instead, he directly used these ironborn as sailors and took the longships that the ironborn invaded Seaside City. , walk directly from the water.

Because the Iron Islands’ attention was all on the Western Territory further south, and they would not have thought that more than 10,000 Ironborn led by Rodrik Greyjoy would be wiped out outside Seaside City, so as long as Lind If you are careful, the Iron Islands won’t notice anything unusual.

When Linde set off from Haijiang City, the battle report about Haijiang City had been sent to the counter-rebellion army camp in Deep Cave City.

Everyone was a little unbelievable when they saw this battle report. While their tens of thousands of troops were still walking on the road, Linde had already led more than 2,000 people to recapture Kalin Bay and annihilated more than 10,000 ironmen who surrounded Haijiang City. , killed Rodrik Greyjoy, the eldest son and heir of Balon Greyjoy, and achieved unparalleled military exploits, which embarrassed the lords, nobles and knight officers who were currently fighting the rebellion.

“Good boy, well done! I knew this boy could do it.” Unlike the complicated emotions of the surrounding lords and nobles after seeing this battle report, Robert was simply happy for Lind’s performance, as if he was Complete the series with a general victory.

“More than 10,000 people were easily wiped out by a few thousand people. Could this battle report…” Under the hint of some big lords, a palace noble carefully questioned the authenticity of this battle report and said .

“Shut up, just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean that others can’t do it!” Robert glared at the nobleman angrily, then looked at the other people around him, and said coldly: “If you want military exploits, go to the battlefield and fight for them. , go grab it, instead of slandering those who have made military exploits here.”

After hearing Robert’s lesson, the tent immediately became quiet, and no one dared to say anything more.

Stannis suggested: “The letter says that Lord Lynde will place more than 8,000 captured people in Seaside City and Twin River City for detention. We can go and take these people over. We may send them to the naval battle in the near future.” Useful.”

Robert nodded and immediately arranged for several lords to lead troops to bring the ironborn prisoners of war to Lannisport, where the various counter-rebellion armies would meet.

Afterwards, he ordered his accompanying bachelors to record Linde’s military exploits in relieving the siege of Seaside City and annihilating more than 10,000 ironmen in the war merit book, ranking it below the military exploits in recapturing Kalin Bay.

With these two military exploits, there is no problem for Linde to be knighted, but Robert is still looking forward to Linde’s future performance. If he has more military exploits, he would not mind letting Linde become a first in the history of knighthood in the Seven Kingdoms. special case.

However, Linde did not disappoint Robert. Not long after Robert’s counter-rebellion army arrived at Lannisport, battle reports about Linde were sent to him one after another.

First, Linde used the surrendered Ironmen prisoners of war to trick him into opening the gate of the fortress, captured all the more than a thousand Ironmen defenders inside, and recaptured the fortress. Later, he used the same method to recapture Cliff City.

However, after Linde regained the two castles, he notified the Banfort family and the Westerling family in Brand City, asking them to take over their respective castles and continue to guard the castles, but he did not receive a response from the two nobles. , which forced Linde to leave the soldiers of the Frey family and the soldiers of the Amber family to guard the Fortress and Cliff Town respectively.

Afterwards, Linde used the Ironborn longship to cross the Strait of Fairy Island and landed on Fairy Island. Before the Ironborn had time to react, he eliminated the three thousand Ironborn in Fairy City and liberated Fairy City.

After Lind completed the scheduled task of recovering the city, he did not continue to attack other places. It was not that he didn’t want to, but that he couldn’t do it because the Iron Islands already knew about his actions, so they sent Victarion and Euron. Commanded the Iron Fleet to blockade Fairy Island.

In other words, he is now trapped on Fairy Island and cannot move, but at the same time, he has also dragged the Iron Fleet in the Fairy Island Strait, making it impossible for the Iron Fleet to go south.

After receiving the relevant news, Robert immediately ordered the fleets that had arrived at Arbor Island and Old Town in Lannisport, mixed with the few remaining warships of the Lannister family, and the recruited armed merchant ships to form two groups. The royal fleet, with Stanlis Baratheon and Paxter Redwin as fleet commanders respectively, immediately led the fleet to the Fairy Isle Strait to destroy the Iron Fleet.

At the same time, Robert will also lead the counter-rebellion coalition forces from the West, North, Riverlands, East and South to Warfortress to wait for the results of the battle in Fairy City Strait.

After Stanlis has eliminated the Iron Fleet, they can go directly to the Fortress of Scourge, and then they can attack Pyke Island, the home of the Greyjoy family, from the Fortress of Scourge.
