Gates of the Moon's rebel army has launched.
Since the troops are deployed in the center of Vale of Arryn, there is no need to worry about ambushes or encounters, so the coalition forces can move very quickly.
When this army came out from the east side of the valley, it joined the cavalry team led by forward general Simon Temperton who had arrived here in advance at the knight leader of Ninestars.
In fact, they have already arrived at Gulltown's doorstep.
As if he did not expect that the United Rebel Army in the Valley would move so quickly, Count Marco Grafson, the Iron Throne's most loyal minister in the Eastern Valley, was obviously a little panicked after hearing the news.
Before Andals came to Westeros, Gulltown was originally a town ruled by the First Men family Shete. It was quite wealthy at that time.
Due to the threat of force from the Runestone master Jorvik Royce VI on the same peninsula, the original "King of the Natives" Osgood Schett III formed an alliance with the Andals knight Jero Grafton.
Vow to fight side by side.
However, not long after, King Shet was unfortunately killed in the battle with Runestone.
House Grafton, who came from the Narrow Sea to the west, saw such a good opportunity, so he took the opportunity to replace House Shett's dominant position in Gulltown, and became the head of this port city by marrying King Shet's daughter.
Later.
The sister of Robert Royce II, another Bronze King, successfully persuaded the suppressed House Shett to resist Grafton, allowing Robert Royce II's men to capture the city - this is also the origin of Runestone's minor vassal "House Shett of Seagull Tower".
After such back and forth fights, Grafton, who had the wrong position, finally took back the title of Lord Gulltown.
Now, the nominal lord Gulltown was in a panic and decisively thought of the "
The mainstay".
Asking his subordinates to investigate and report again, Marco Lord Grafton politely invited "House Shett of New Harbor" and "House Arryn of Gulltown" to discuss strategies against the enemy.
However, there are no eggs.
If the war is to be fought at sea, Scheit and Arryn, two of the three seagull giants, are willing to contribute money and effort. They both maintain considerable support in Gulltown's fleet.
But how to fight a land war?
Even if they take advantage of their population advantage to recruit new soldiers regardless of whether they are good or bad, or if each family spends money to buy Gulltown's top-notch mercenaries, the quality and fighting will of these soldiers are quite worrying, and their number is only half of the opponent's.
The three major families discussed and discussed, and they could only use the original port garrison as the main force to try their best to defend the west and land-facing city wall.
Unfortunately, Gulltown is a commercial city, and the city walls are not very high or thick.
No one knows exactly how effective it will be.
Of course, Marco Lord Grafton dared to openly challenge the Eyrie's lord. Although he borrowed Iron Throne's power, he was not without merit.
He contacted his allies, the Marco family of Old Anchor, hoping that they could come over to join him as soon as possible, and also canonized a young man who came to Gulltown at the wrong time as a knight.
Linn Corbray, the second son of Heart's Home Earl, obeyed his father's orders before the war and came to Gulltown with the family sword "Lady Forlorn", hoping to find a skilled craftsman to make a new scabbard for this Valyrian steel sword, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
As a result, the valley split and there was a war between east and west.
Following that, Linn Corbray, who was only two years older than Titus·Peake and Jaime·Lannister, did not react for a moment, but was personally made a knight by the local lord.
Ma Ke·Lord Grafton obviously wants to win over House Corbray from Heart's Home.
What? He also brought his tile steel sword Gulltown? That's even better, it's very representative!
It is somewhat similar to Dayne of Starfall. According to the tradition of the Corbray family, "Lady Forlorn" is not exclusively worn by the lord, but is always lent to the strongest knight in the family.
After the knight dies, it will be returned to the clan leader.
During the first Blackfyre Rebellion period, Sir Kingsguard Garwin·Corbray once held "Lady Forlorn" and fought against Daemon·Blackfyre using "Blackfyre" on the red grassland.
The two fought fiercely for nearly an hour. It is said that the sharp sound of the two Valyrian steel sword hitting each other could be heard one mile away. In the end, Daemon·Blackfyre was superior and cut open Garwin·Corbray's helmet, causing him to bleed and become blind.
However, Daemon·Blackfyre did not kill the seriously injured opponent. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to escort him to the rear of the battlefield and let the bachelor doctor treat his injuries.
Although this behavior of Daemon·Blackfyre is noble and shows his chivalry, it is an extremely fatal omission and mistake on the life-and-death battlefield.
"Bloodraven"Brynden·Hewen seized this mistake and opportunity, and asked his longbowmen "Raven's Teeth" to shoot a rain of arrows on Weeping Ridge, covering Daemon·Blackfyre and his sons----
Marco·Lord Grafton did what he could, but the outcome was not changed because of his efforts.
The rebels who came all the way east got off to a good start in their first battle with the royalists.
Seagull falls.
Robert·Baila Theon proved the value of Harrenhal's team competition champion. He was extremely brave in the siege battle and was the first to scale the city wall of Gulltown, becoming the "first to ascend the hammer".
Regardless of friend or foe, everyone who has seen him fight with his own eyes said: This Baila Theon is fearless, he fights like a king!
When he was wearing heavy armor and a giant helmet with double antlers on his head, he became a veritable divine power Giants, capable of clearing all obstacles in front of him.
Including Marco Grafton, who had worked hard before the war, was also stabbed by Robert himself, until his brains burst.
The Marco family, who had come hard since Old Anchor, was finally a step too late, and was surrounded by Ninestars knights for reinforcements. After being defeated, they decisively surrendered. Gulltown, one of the five largest cities in Westeros, was captured, and the sea route was opened. No one could stop Robert from returning to his Storm's End.
After all, Rhaegar is not here, Royal Fleet and Dragonstone Fleet are leaderless at this time, even if they want to send a ship to intercept, they can't do it----
Just as Eddard is going north and Robert is going south.
In the Reach Dornish Marches and Starpike's Main Keep study in the south, Titus is also doing his share of the work.
Master Earl must use his "foresight" to convince his vassals and unify everyone's fighting ideas.
Then, Ta Ta opens!
Today's East Study is no longer as quiet and elegant as before.
Starpike's bachelor Greg Vance who has served Starpike for many years, Starpike's guard chief instructor Sir David Robinson, Pikemen Corps's regimental commander Duncan Sir Vic;
There are also subordinates of the corps, the newly appointed commander of the first battalion Gino, the replacement First Centurion Finley, the also newly appointed commander of the second battalion Parker, and his deputy Bowen, the new captain of the guard Wenda Storm designated by Earl.
And on the territory of Dornish Marches, ten representatives were selected from the hundreds of knights who took care of various villages in the territory for Starpike.
Everyone has arrived.
The space in front of the desk was crowded with these people.
Titus Earl, who had just used his successful prediction of "Gulltown's fall" as an example to prove his "vision", expressed his optimism for the rebel side.
Harrenhal During the martial arts tournament, Parker, Bowen, Wenda and others who had been following Earl were not surprised. Strange, they all knew that Lord Titus had a close personal relationship with Robert·Baila Theon and Eddard·Stark.
The rest of the people who live in Starpike can easily follow the instructions given by Master Earl.
The only thing that may hinder Starpike from "taking sides" this time is the ten selected representatives of the trumpet "Jiedushi".
In the previous description, Titus also focused its energy mainly on them.
The "Ten Major Jiedu Envoys" looked at each other, some of them not sure about House Peake's "vision" in choosing to take sides.
After all, the Peake Earl people in modern history have constantly confirmed this with their own negative examples--
