A night of fun.
The highly respected adoptive father and his adopted son gained an additional level of kinship and officially became brothers-in-law.
Yesterday, they stood side by side in the church of Riverrun and married a pair of sisters, the two daughters of Duke Tully, the owner of this city Hoster.
After these two weddings of great political significance came to an end, let alone how the old and strong Duke Jon dealt with his young wife, and how the silent wolf would behave when faced with the watery fish——
Through the performance of the marriage contract, the closeness within the alliance was further consolidated. On the second day of the wedding, the dukes of the four major families entered into a preparation meeting.
The fifth person who had the honor to attend the meeting was the Reach, the second-largest figure in the "Stormlands-Starpike" coalition, a cavalry regiment commander with many military exploits, and a martyr with the qualifications of a famous general. Starpike from Dornish Marches Earl-Titus·Peake.
Robert and Eddard are happy to see this happen.
Duke Jon and Duke Hoster, who are older and have been leaders for a longer time, actually do not want "outsiders" to "come in" to get a share of the pie, but the other party's contribution is too great and his status is too special.
A close personal relationship with Duke Robert I and Winterfell;
The identity of the Reach people is also one.
His 6,000-man army, which has proven to be extremely powerful, is even more powerful!
Regardless of whether the two old guys are happy or not, Starpike Earl, who has multiple advantages and identities, is qualified to sit with them to discuss the next military reorganization.
Deer, wolf, eagle, fish, four families make a covenant?
No, now we have to add a Starpike.
Master Titus said shamelessly that behind him stood the Southern Territory and the Reach.
Of course, he cannot represent all the lords of the entire the Reach domain. Even Highgarden's Tyrell dare not boast of this easily.
But he can indeed represent part of the Reach, especially the southern part of the Mander River.
As for the rest----
Titus has long heard that Duke Mace·Tyrell, who had been waiting in Highgarden, finally gathered his army and led 50,000 people to the east in the direction of Storm's End----
Storm's End once blocked the invasion of gods in mythology, so he probably would not take the invasion of mortals seriously either.
The only ones who have to endure hardship are those poor residents in Storm's End who are also mortals.
Out of reach and beyond help.
The rebel army cannot control what is happening in the southeast of the mainland for the time being. What they can control is the current status of the vassal families in their respective territories.
In this area, Robert has already used his warhammer and Summerhall's three quick battles to solve the problem in one fell swoop. Eddard's hometown has its own system in terms of geography, climate, and folk culture. At most, there are few people willing to respond to the call of the new Duke Winterfell, and there are few soldiers brought under him. Purely in terms of loyalty, there is no problem.
The victims, or rather the disgraced people, were actually the two old dukes.
When the Robert uprising first started, the valley had already split open once.
Nowadays, the Graveson family of Gulltown, who chose not to obey the orders of the "Guardian of the Canyon", has been quickly suppressed since the death of its previous head.
Xie Te and Arryn, who were both at Gulltown, said that they and others were coerced by Ma Ke Earl. As far as they were concerned, they did not want to stop Robert I from returning home----
In short, thanks to Robert's bravery, the war ended neatly and no Vale of Arryn civil war broke out.
However, many families of Vale still shout with words but are unwilling to contribute at all, such as House Corbray of Heart's Home.
They didn't send a single soldier.
The only support given was a young boy holding the heirloom sword "Lady Forlorn", and this young boy named Linn Corbray had just rebelled from the opposition forces of the royalist party.
-This is really outrageous.
Although this boy Lin En has always claimed that it was Marco Lord Grafton who was smashed to pieces by Robert that morning. When he saw his superb swordsmanship and hunting heart, he insisted on making him a knight.
If he doesn't want it, he has to give it!
Oh, he wants it for you?
I don't know if these weird people at Gulltown had already "confessed" to each other before they surrendered----
Everyone who understands understands.
Situations like Heart's Home are inevitable.
If you don't want to force the other party to side with Iron Throne, you have to handle your relationship with the other party carefully, at least until this war is completely won.
Moreover, there are still clans and tribes in Mountains of the Moon in rebellion in the northern region of Vale. These factors have indirectly caused the fact that Duke the Eyrie and his Gates of the Moon general brought only fifteen thousand troops to participate in the war, so many people need to be left to guard their hometown.
The landowner here, Duke Riverrun, is no better than his old son-in-law. Both of them are in a similar predicament.
A situation similar to that of Vale is currently happening on the ground of Riverlands. Not all the vassals of the Tully family are willing to follow their lords to raise the flag of rebellion and challenge Iron Throne of Targaryen.
House Mooton, House Darry, the Legg family, and recently the Guback family have all clearly declared that they will be loyal to the Targaryen royal family.
I wonder what medicine Rhaegar gave them?
In the battle of Stoney Sept, a small number of soldiers from the first three families had already joined the royalist army.
On this point, Titus has the most say.
Harrenhal, located at the core of the continent, is more like a calm beast before hunting. The people of the Bat family seem to have forgotten the marriage relationship between themselves and Riverrun. The sons of Whent Earl also seem to have forgotten that they and the heirs of Riverrun should call each other cousins.
They are constantly accumulating strength and getting ready to go, just waiting for someone to return to their position.
In the north of Green Fork, the situation of the Twins House Frey is also ambiguous. According to Duke Hoster, the Freys have always maintained an ambiguous attitude towards Riverrun's messages and appeals.
The old Frey, who was about to live a century, naturally became "sick" when he encountered such a big thing. Walder·Frey, who lived a long life and had many wives and children, was obviously unwilling to easily express his position on behalf of the Twins before the situation became clear.
Last night, Seaguard Earl, who acted righteously in the color attack of the ladies, rescued Eddard and spoke out, actually came to attend the wedding banquet.
As a powerful lord of the Three Rivers Basin and one of House Tully's most important vassals, Seaguard Earl participated in the wedding of the lord's two daughters and gave many gifts to Caitlin and Lysa.
Seaguard has been guarding the source of Blue Fork for many years, responsible for defending Ironborn from the west Iron Islands from spying on Riverlands's interior.
House Mallister has a nobler bloodline than their lord House Tully. Most of the family members have blue-grey eyes, and their appearance is noble and proud.
Because Mallister once snatched the dominance of Riverlands from Storm King House Durrandon and briefly became the "King of Trident", their clan language is "Unreachable".
"Eagle" Jason Mallister himself is a well-known jousting knight in the mainland. He has participated in many jousting tournaments and received many good rankings.
Last time at Harrenhal, if he hadn't met the dark horse Earl from Dornish Marches, who was even better, he would have been the one to reach the semi-finals against Barristan.
Because Seaguard Earl has always adhered to his own integrity, and because House Mallister's brother and nephew were affected by this major incident, they were innocently executed by Mad King without any scruples----
When Jason came this time, he also spontaneously stood on the side of the Allies to jointly resist the royalists of the axis of evil headed by Mad King and his son.
Harrenhal's flying bat was determined to support Iron Throne, and the "sick" Frey didn't come again. Four Pillars of the Riverlands was in the eyes of Titus, and it was a painful loss.
Simply Gods Eye the big landowners in the West and the two House Vance unified their opinions this time and did not rebel;
Blackwood, who has a long history, did not side with the king because the king's grandmother came from their family, and also obeyed Riverrun's call;
In the traditional art of "choosing sides", which requires a certain amount of talent, House Bracken, who was even worse than Peake back then, unsurprisingly sang the opposite tune.
I wonder if they just wanted to go against Blackwood from the Raventree Hall, so they specifically chose Iron Throne?
House Bracken of Stone Hedge is definitely not the high-quality client Iron Throne wants.
Because their positioning vision is worse than that of Peake decades ago, and they almost have the DeBuff of "all teams will lose"----
During the meeting, Duke Hoster didn't pay much attention to the coquettish swings of the Bracken family. According to his opinion, the other party would be stronger if they were strong, but at most they would be happy and happy, and they might not work hard for Iron Throne.
Regarding this point, Duke Hoster also said that his views were recognized by Bracken's arch-rival Blackwood Earl.
The person who knows you best is often your opponent.
The meeting continued. Titus did not refute this, but directly asked Riverrun how many people could the Duke summon this time?
The Duke, who was slightly hurt by the young man's directness, embarrassedly revealed a number.
Titus thought it was amazing, and [Westeros swear] it was: fifteen thousand people.
Vale's side is not very safe. They only send 15,000 troops. They fired the first shot and fought the first battle.
You are so big Riverlands, how dare you tell me fifteen thousand?
"Hoster Duke, are you kidding me?"
Once again, I personally confirmed House Tully's position as the crown prince in Riverlands district, and the dignified Lord Earl was completely speechless.
He paused for a moment and then turned his gaze to Duke Winterfell who looked tired.
Eddard's reply is still disappointing.
Still fifteen thousand.
Yes, Eddard, who has been away from the North for many years, recruited soldiers for the first time, and the effect was worse than that of his future son in the parallel world; of course, the reason why "Young Wolf" was able to recruit 20,000 people in a short period of time was all due to the disguised favor brought by Eddard and the North people who fought and won many battles in the original historical process.
Sure enough.
Since some of the members here are really rubbish, they Starpike are really qualified to sit in one of these five top spots!
If you think about it deeply, it is actually quite normal. There have always been similar cases of this and that kind at all times and in all over the world.
There are parallel imports in Wuchang, right--
Forty-five thousand people from three regions are really super average;
In addition, he and Robert brought more than 10,000 to Riverlands from the south;
The current total strength of the alliance is: more than 55,000 people.
Titus suppressed his temper, thinking that this was fine, it was much better than the less than 40,000 people in the "original" history----
House Mallister of Seaguard:
