Here in the rebel army, Titus is also actively participating in various military affairs.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Robert was seriously injured and unable to take charge personally, he was slowly infiltrating the Peake family's tentacles into the Stormlands army next door.
Bryce·Caron Needless to say, his former attendant and little fanboy.
Fawn Hall's Cavron Earl is the pro-Peake faction in the Stormlands camp due to their relationship with "White Eagle" Wenda, and Evenfall Hall's Tas Earl is due to the relationship of being a sommelier in Caledon.
The remaining ones that need to be focused on are the three Stormlands border lords.
Among the three, Harvest Hall's Astan Selmy Earl is the junior of Kingsguard Barristan. He is a traditional lord who abides by the knight's commandments and has little communication with Titus.
Blackhaven's Simon Dondarrion Earl is by far the best person to talk to Titus.
The family emblem of House Dondarrion is a forked purple lightning bolt and several flashing four-pointed stars on a black background.
This coat of arms comes from the origin of their ancestors. The first Dondarrion Earl was once a messenger of the Storm King House Durrandon.
On a stormy night a long time ago, the Storm King's messenger was ambushed by two Dornish on the way to deliver human flesh on a necessary mission.
His horse was killed by an arrow, and his sword fell aside.
Just when they were desperate, a bright purple lightning struck down, killing the two Dornish who blocked the road.
Messenger Dondarrion later delivered the important information on time, and the Storm King was promoted to a lord.
Their family also produced many famous warriors, including their housekeeper.
During the Dance of the Dragons period, Kingsguard and Hand of the King, who pushed Aegon II to the throne, and Ke Lys ton·Cole, who had the title of "King Supporter", were born in the housekeeper family of Blackhaven Dondarrion.
Titus is taking the opportunity of marching together to deepen his friendship with Simon Dondarrion Earl.
As for Dornish Marches, the extremely arrogant Stonehelm Earl Gulian Shiwen and Titus deliberately left him alone. The other party was not friendly and polite, so it was difficult to build a close relationship for the time being.
The rebel army advanced all the way.
Because the scouts under Lord Titus, who had a positive attitude, did a very good job, the army's northward route was perfectly safe, avoiding the attention and obstruction of the local lords of the Mander River's eastern region along the way.
The Stormlands people who were beaten up by Randyll·Tarly seemed to have some kind of filter on the Reach's army. In fact, there were more than ten thousand of them, so there was no need to be afraid.
The Reach The nobles' makeshift army of soldiers, Titus Earl, are not very afraid, let alone those scattered southern lords, those guys are even less impressive.
It's just that such a filter can also be used on yourself. Titus laughed secretly but didn't explain it specifically.
With the communication capabilities and reconnaissance advantages of Wenda's white falcon, even if Titus's nose is as useless as Chu Liuxiang's, the "sense of war" will naturally become "sensitive".
In addition to aerial reconnaissance, if White Falcon launches an active attack, he can even temporarily isolate the communication channels of certain castles in a small area.
The number of ravens in each castle is limited, and the flight paths of these ravens trained by bachelors are like the information network of Westeros.
Wenda's White Falcon is the "hacker" in this high-altitude "Internet".
In terms of the efficiency of preventing the spread of news, the white falcon is much higher than the bow and arrow.
Examples along the way continue to prove the superb detection capabilities of the Starpike army.
Robert I, who was still recovering from his injuries, could not lead the troops himself, so he allocated half of the cavalry in Stormlands's army to Titus, many of whom were senior horsemen and professional soldiers from the frontiers.
Titus After a brief integration, he had almost a thousand cavalry under his command, and became the commander-in-chief of the cavalry battalion of this uprising army.
After some operations, he was confirmed as the number two figure in the rebel army.
When Gulian Swann saw him again, he no longer dared to speak with his chin slightly raised, and he was even more polite to him.
Titus took this opportunity to reward the warriors who were good at fighting, meritorious, and loyal to further win over people's hearts.
This time he brought enough golden dragons, and also took out a big killer weapon - Starpike Earl. He personally made outstanding warriors knights.
Titus Commander-in-Chief made reasonable use of his right to confer "knights", and lavishly awarded knights to those elite warriors in the army who had made military exploits, performed outstandingly, or sworn allegiance to him.
This is called "Westeros's characteristic "slim respect reduces nobleness" and "Earl disciples".
A break for the army to camp and rest.
Starpike Earl's camp was still very active. The well-built warriors who had been named were lining up one after another, waiting excitedly but restrainedly outside Lord Earl's tent.
Many people's faces were filled with expressions of joy and loyalty.
Many warriors who are outstanding in martial arts, but because of their upright personality and lack of money, did not have the chance to be awarded a title at Starpike Earl, they have received differentiated incentive treatment. I really wish I could give my life to Lord Titus.
This is a knight personally conferred by a lord from a certain realm! This is not an ordinary knight canonization that can be done casually.
Under the spacious tent of Earl.
Titus uses "Orphan-Maker", which has gone through the path of enlightenment and has shone brightly on the previous battlefield, to ennoble the warriors who kneel and bow in front of him.
Today, Ringlet and Roxton have not expressed any opinions, and others have no way to criticize them.
Many people actually don't know that the corrugated steel sword in his hand originally belonged to the Roxton family.
Titus You can call it "Orphan-Maker", you can call it "Nocturne", no one dares to talk nonsense.
One more person has been canonized.
The other party burst into tears of gratitude, murmured some words of loyalty, and then happily left this marching tent that meant so much to him.
"How many more are there?"
Titus leaned on his "Orphan-Maker" or "Nocturne", twisted his sore neck, and asked about the remaining workload.
Captain Wenda, who was standing aside, was dressed in white. He looked pretty and very eye-catching. He held his sword in a heroic manner and replied, "Sir, today, there are seven more people who will accept your canonization."
Ms. Wenda is very interesting. In front of outsiders or in private, Starpike Earl often has different appellation expressions. The switching between "you" and "you" is quite flexible.
Also in this wave of group canonization, Countess Wenda, who was knighted by him, said, "Also, if the rebels go further north, they will reach the edge of the Mander River. Our rangers are ready to find a boat to cross the river."
When they crossed Blueburn River before, they used a temporary method of finding a boat.
The Mander River watershed is the main artery of the Reach. From the upstream to the downstream, there is never a shortage of ships.
Just when the female knight thought it was a routine matter and had no objections, her lord slowly opened his mouth.
"Looking for a boat to cross the river?"
Starpike Earl showed a smile that concealed murderous intent.
"No, we don't cross the river by water, we go directly across the bridge."
Just right.
Recently, he has conferred too many people, and they have become a bit boring. It is also time to do some activities, settle old accounts, and replenish the bounty that was spent——
The river Mander River flows slowly, blocking Roseroad in front of him.
An ancient stone arch bridge spans the wide river.
--Bitterbridge.
House Caswell's family castle is located on the flat field beside the bridge.
This fortress is not very grand, and its stone and wood structure walls are mottled with time.
The tallest tower is only forty feet tall. It appears to be taller than it actually is because it is surrounded by endless open fields with no obstructions and no other tall buildings.
Like a lonely bridge guard, he stood at the intersection of Roseroad and Mander River.
In the past, Bitterbridge was always lively.
Caravans led horses laden with goods across the bridge, and travelers rested in wine shops beside the bridge.
Old Caswell is not young anymore, and his only heir is a weak "knight" and an idle waste. He is far inferior to those warriors who willingly knelt down in front of Starpike Earl in the past two days.
After the Faith Militant uprising, House Caswell guarded Bitterbridge and spent more than two hundred years of peace.
Until General Titus and the thousand-man cavalry regiment led by him came from the south.
The first person to notice the cavalry attack was a fisherman by the river.
He saw a black wave rising on the southern horizon, and the increasingly loud sound of horse hooves came along the wind.
One league away, one could feel the suffocating pressure of the cavalry.
"It's the army! There are many people coming from the south!"
"King Supporter" overcomes Lys ton·Cole:
