"I'm not sure. I don't understand the current situation. Renly, Robb, and Joffrey died one after another. Even Duke Tywin died in the latrine."
Barristan furrowed his brows. "I've never seen Westeros in such a chaotic state. Originally, Maes Tyrell led his troops to besiege Storm's End Keep. Just like fifteen years ago, even without Stannis guarding it, he still couldn't take it down.
Count Randolph Tully is a famous general. He is leading his own army to help King's Landing clean up the rebels in the royal domain and River Delta.
Seventy percent of River Bend's army was involved. Fortunately, Garlan Tyrell brought half of his army back when he took Brightwater. "
Well, half of the army here wasn't half of River Bend's army outside. It was only half of House Tyrell's army.
Simply put, Duke Maes led House Tyrell's army while Randolph Tully led House Tully's army. (Perhaps there were other families' troops, like Roose Bolton's after Robb's division.)
Garlan was only Maes' second son and not the heir of House Tyrell. If he wanted to inherit Brightwater, he could only rely on House Tyrell's army. Randolph had no obligation to help him.
"It's said that Stannis has left Dragonstone Island and disappeared with his pirate fleet. However, Dragonstone Island and Storm's End Keep are both strategic places where one man can hold back ten thousand men. It's hard to take them down in a short period of time.
Blue Pavilion Island's fleet is besieging Dragonstone Island at Blackwater Bay and won't be able to return in a short period of time.
River Bend, known as the 'Home of Knights', is actually somewhat lacking in troops.
Lannister should be grateful to House Tyrell for sacrificing so much for King's Landing. However, after Tywin's death and Cersei's regent, she actually started to suppress House Tyrell's forces both openly and secretly. "
The old knight was puzzled and said, "The latest news is that 'Virgin Queen' Margaery has been accused of adultery. The mastermind behind this is Cersei. It's because of a palace conflict.
However, Grand Scholar Pycelle also admitted that he had made moon tea for Queen Margaery many times. This … "
'The Virgin Queen who loves moon tea?
How ironic! '
In modern society, in order to regulate the hormones in their bodies, even if they did not hold hands, they might take a small amount of contraceptive pills. However, the moon tea did not have any additional effects.
Cersei might have slandered Little Rose, but Margaery was not someone to be trifled with. Her husband, Tommen, was only nine years old. He might not be able to hold on much longer.
"Since his daughter has been locked up in the Great Cathedral, Duke Maes naturally has no intention of besieging the Wind's End Fortress. He's currently on his way back to the capital. The Wind's End Fortress …" The old man sighed. "That's why the lords of the Storm Lands all ran to the old town to participate in the tournament. They don't want to take on the task of besieging the Wind's End Fortress. After all, Theon Beira has been their lord for three hundred years."
"The King's Landing's court and palace infighting are intense. I don't know how it will end, and Stannis is missing. Sigh, it's so complicated! "The old knight sighed.
"What's the situation in the north? I intend to send Blackie back to deliver a letter to Sir Jorah, "Danny said.
"The north is also very …" The White Knight's old face scrunched up. "I didn't expect your prophecy to come true. Not only did Frey violate the tradition of the guest's rights, he even sewed the direwolf's head onto Robb Stark's neck. It's almost exactly the same as the prophecy."
"What's wrong with the Westeros? Do they still have justice, conscience, and honor?! " As the old knight spoke, two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks. He was unfamiliar with this untrustworthy and unjust country.
'I've only left for two years. How did it become so rotten?'
The old man thought bitterly.
"Where did that Jordan Snow go? Half a year's time is enough for him to return to the Westeros, "Danny asked.
"I'm not sure. Why don't I ask around at the docks in the afternoon? His ship is called 'Ginkgo', right? "
"No, it's' Ginkgo Maiden '."
After the two of them had lunch, Danny practiced her fire control in front of the fireplace. She would have to pretend to be a boss in a few days, and the shriveled ball of fire was not something she could bring out.
The old knight put on his cloak and wandered around the City of Learning, the hotel, the streets, the docks, and other places with practiced ease.
At night, he brought good news to Danny, no, to Mormont: his family was not completely wiped out.
In the Blood Wedding that took place in River Rapture City, Robb's side lost more than four thousand elite cavalry, almost draining the blood of the people in the north. However, the Mormont family did not lose many people.
Sigh, the reason was a little awkward — Mormont's Bear Island was too poor, and there were few soldiers and few generals …
Unlike the other counts who had a large group of knights and squires following them, Melgie only brought her eldest daughter, Daisy, a female knight. She also had very few soldiers under her, four to five hundred fishermen with harpoons.
Melgie was Chora's aunt. After Chora chose to be exiled, Old Mormont took over the position of the Count of Bear Island.
"Daisy is Count Melgie's eldest daughter and also the heir of Bear Island. She plays the role of Eide's personal guard — exactly the same as Chora did for Eide Stark back then."
"Stark trusted Stark very much," the old knight emphasized.
"Stark was also very loyal, and Stark trusted him very much, but what happened in the end?" Danny smiled coldly. "Old Stark wanted to cut down Mormont, and young Stark directly cut down Stark Stark. All the people he killed were great loyal vassals. On the other hand, Bolton, who repeatedly rebelled against Stark, has always been living well. "
White Knight disagreed with Danny's mockery and said solemnly, "Stark is not wrong. They all did it to prevent their honor from being tarnished."
Danny did not refute. It was clear that the old knight, who had always valued honor above all else, was the same type of person as Eide and Robb. He had the same mindset.
She asked, "So, only two people from the Mormont family died? I remember that he had a total of five cousins, and there are still four left! "
"No, Count Melgie is not dead. At that time, Winterfell was attacked by the chameleon Theon … Do you know Theon Greyjoy? Balon's third son, and now his only son. "
"I know."
Ten years ago, when Balon rebelled, Robert and Eide joined forces again and beat him until he knelt down and called him "Father." In that battle, Chora Mormont was knighted for his contributions, and then he met his little enemy, Lynniss.
In that battle, Balon's eldest and second sons died in battle, leaving only the third son, Theon, who was adopted by Eide as his son. In essence, he was a hostage.
Eide and Robert had also been adopted, but Theon was completely different from Eide to Jon Ayrin and Eide to Jon Ayrin.
Duke Ayrin truly treated his two adopted sons as his own, and gave them sincere and complete fatherly love.
For them, old Ayrin was willing to be Littlefinger's savior, and even raised an army to rebel against the king.
Eide was an upright and good man, this was true. He also wanted to learn from his adoptive father and treat Theon as his own son. But reality did not allow this. Neither Theon nor Eide could do this.
Eide had the possibility of killing his adopted son at any moment — as long as Balon rebelled again, he would immediately cut off Theon's head.
Eide knew this, and similarly, the already ten year old Theon also knew this.
— Eide Stark was used to personally carrying out executions, using the clan sword 'Ice' to cut off the heads of the condemned prisoners. Every time he cut off a head, he would let Theon watch from the side. (It wasn't that Eide was abnormal, Theon was also his attendant, and had to follow him … and learn from him at all times.) That scene … one could completely imagine how great the shadow in Theon's heart was at that time.
This created a deformed father-son relationship between the two. Eide had fatherly love for Theon, true love. And Theon, who had always lacked fatherly love on Tiemin Island, also felt his adoptive father's feelings for him.
On one hand, he was afraid of him, on the other hand, he loved him. He had always wanted to be like Robb and Jon, to become a true Stark. It was already good enough that Theon did not become abnormal.
All his subsequent actions, all his tragedies, all stemmed from this.
"Tiemin occupied Carlin Bay, so before the Bloody Wedding, Robb arranged for Countess Meiji to go to Neck Marsh to look for Graywater Watch."
"Graywater Watch?"
"Neck Marsh is a large marsh that stretches for almost a thousand miles. A group of short ancestors lived there, their leader was the Lide family, the vassals of the King of the North.
Graywater Watch was built on a floating island in the marsh, it was the fortress of the Lide family.
Since ancient times, no enemy had ever found the island, because it was alive and always moving. " The old knight explained.
"That means, the Mormont family only lost one heir?"
"Yes, Countess Meiji must be in Graywater Watch right now. Tiemin still occupies Carlin Bay, and Roose Bolton's army is trapped in Neck Marsh Road, often attacked by the marsh people. "
"Your Majesty, I find that Robb is a bit like you." The old knight suddenly said strangely.
"No, we are not!" Danny did not ask for the reason, only firmly denying it.
You said I was like Lega before, and now you think I'm like Robb. Those two men who broke off their engagements ended so miserably, saying I'm like them, isn't that cursing me?!
The old knight said seriously, "I've investigated the battles Robb experienced, the battle of Babble Forest, the attack on the camp, the battle of Oxford …
His tactical thinking was unconstrained and unconventional, exactly the same as yours.
On the battlefield, the experienced Duke Tywin was almost beaten into a pulp by him.
And he was very good at using the direwolf, for example, during the night attack, he first let the direwolf sneak into the livestock camp, causing the warhorses and other livestock to be terrified, and then cause great chaos. He even let the wolf bite the city guard to death during the siege. "
Later, the old man found a map of all the Westeros, and slowly restored the battle situation for Danny.
Danny also gradually realized that the young wolf master was indeed awesome, and in some ways, he was stronger than her, because she had the experience of countless ancestors in Huaxia, and had a dragon that was far more buggy than the direwolf.
But she also saw a fatal flaw in Robb.
"Robb only cares about fighting Lannister, and doesn't seem to pay much attention to Stannis, Highcourt, Dorne, or even his aunt Lysa.
He has a poor grasp of the overall situation, and lacks a brilliant politician by his side. "She touched her chin and commented regretfully.
In fact, Danny misunderstood. It was not that Robb did not pay attention, he was just mentally and physically exhausted by the series of events, and gave the task of uniting external forces to his mother Caitlin.
There was no doubt that Caitlin was a qualified and great mother, but her political talent was the same as her husband Eide, which was almost zero.
That night, Blackie took off from the mountain where he had stayed for a day. This time, he would not land midway, as Danny wanted to test the dragon's flight limit.
The next morning, Danny brought the armor that had been reprocessed and moved out of the city with Barristan.
Yes, she signed up for the tournament as a mysterious knight, and would be living in a big tent for the next few days.
