The next day, at dawn, Davion got up and organized the army to set off.
Before leaving, he counted all the dry food carried by the team, leaving only enough rations for the team to have a lunch. The rest was all left in Maigu Village and distributed to the villagers in the village.
Kalen·Vance looked at this scene and was very puzzled. He couldn't help but ask questions:
"Sir, if we leave most of the dry food to these untouchables, what will the army eat next?"
Davion raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, causing Kalen to stagger.
"Keep your mouth clean! Don't speak like a pariah! In my eyes, you are no different from them, they are all my subjects!"
"As for what we eat, it depends on what Willow City has to offer!"
Marching at full speed, the team finally arrived at the suburban town outside Liumu City at around three o'clock in the afternoon.
The crowd marched across the entire town and marched directly to the gates of Liumu City.
Willow City is adjacent to Gods Eye. The city wall is surrounded by a wide and deep moat, and the fortifications are very complete.
Surprisingly, the guards stationed on the city did not panic when they saw this strange army approaching, as if they had expected their arrival.
Apparently someone has reported it.
A voice came from the top of the city and asked:
"Who are these people below the city? What's the reason for coming here?"
At the front of the team, only Viri Wode and Kalen Vance came forward to negotiate. Davion changed into infantry equipment and mixed with the infantry team at the rear.
The black bat clan emblem of Harrenhal is so eye-catching that it is impossible for the other party not to recognize it.
House Leygood knew the identity of the visitor, but pretended not to know. To put it bluntly, he wanted to overwhelm them first and give them a head start by taking advantage of the home field's momentum.
Kalen·Vance spurred his horse forward and said loudly:
"I am Kalen·Vance of Grey Stone Keep. This time, on the order of my lord Davion·He'an, I came to Willow City to discuss the land lease with House Leygood. I wonder if the head of the Edmond family is in Willow City?"
"Wait a moment, I will report immediately." The guard at the top of the city responded.
Kalen·Vance returned to the team and subconsciously turned his head to look at Davion behind the war horse. He wanted to see if Davion was dissatisfied with his performance just now.
Seeing Davion slightly nodding his head, he felt relieved and was secretly happy in his heart.
This wait lasted for half an hour.
Finally, the suspension bridge at the top of the city made a creaking sound, slowly falling, and the heavy castle gate opened inwards.
A young knight wearing a full set of bright silver armor and no helmet lined up with a group of cavalry.
More than thirty cavalrymen marched in neat steps, quickly spread out in formation after crossing the suspension bridge, and instantly surrounded Davion's group in the center.
The hostility is out in the open.
House Leygood has no sincerity in negotiating at all. Not only does he not intend to invite them into the city for detailed talks, he also deliberately poses as an encirclement, making it clear that he wants to use force to pressure everyone.
The sudden siege caused a slight commotion in our own team.
The ten infantrymen holding spears quickly turned around, raised their guns on guard, and stared at the surrounding Legg cavalry, ready to engage in battle at any time.
Viri·Wode and Kalen·Vance subconsciously looked at Davion, waiting for instructions.
Davion shook his head slightly, signaling the two of them to calm down and act according to the original plan.
Quick calculation in mind:
Yesterday, ten of the opponent's cavalry were killed in Maigu Village. Today, the opponent pulled out thirty more light cavalry. I wonder if there are any more cavalry in the castle.
At this time, the young man in silver armor rode out on horseback and came directly in front of Weili Wode and Kalen·Vance.
His eyes were arrogant, he looked Kalen up and down, his face full of sarcasm:
"Kalen·Vance, I have heard about your reputation for a long time."
"For the sake of a noble title, you killed your father and your brother with your own hands, and you still have the nerve to show yourself outside?"
"If it were me, I would never have the face to see anyone in my life!"
Kalen·Vance has long been prepared for the ridicule from the outside world. There is no disturbance in his heart, and he calmly counterattacks:
"Who is this knight who has never seen anyone in his life?"
"We are here today to pay homage to the head of the Edmund family. We don't have time to talk nonsense with irrelevant people!"
The meaning of Kalen·Vance is very simple: We are here on behalf of Lord Harrenhal, and you are not qualified to talk to us.
After hearing Kalen·Vance's ridicule, the young man's face immediately turned cold, and he snorted softly and said:
"My father is the leader of the House Leygood clan. He is not just some cat or dog that he can meet whenever he wants! If you have anything to do, just tell me! I am Colin Legg, the future heir of Willowwood City!"
After Colin Legg finished speaking, he raised his head high, his eyes full of contempt, completely ignoring the two people in front of him.
Davion The eyes of the three of them lit up at the same time.
I thought to myself:
"I thought I would just kill some of their cavalry guards. Unexpectedly, I caught a big fish! The heir of Yanagi City? Hahaha!"
Kalen·Vance nodded politely to Colin.
"It turns out to be the eldest son of the Legg family? What? Looking at your sword-fighting posture, are you not going to invite us into the castle for a detailed discussion?"
Colin Legg sneered and said in an arrogant tone:
"I, House Leygood, and House Whent have nothing to talk about."
"If you want to negotiate, let Davion·He'an come in person. You two are not qualified!"
"Get out of my Legg family's territory now, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
Colin Legg had long been holding back anger.
He knew clearly that Davion killed his cousin on King's Landing Tournament Grounds. He also knew that the family killed five tenants and sent their heads to Harrenhal.
Because he did it himself!
In his mind, those five heads were the final warning. Davion should be so frightened that he lowered his head and came to Liumucheng to admit his mistake and beg for mercy.
He didn't even pay attention to the Kalen·Vance in front of him, and he didn't bother to waste any words.
With Davion sitting behind him, Kalen·Vance will not be afraid of the other party's threat of force at all!
"I'm afraid these thirty or so people are not enough for you to kill in five minutes!"
With a calm smile on his face, he asked lightly:
"Master Colin, your family's refusal to negotiate makes it very difficult for me! Do the Legg family want to go to war with House Haigh?"
"Start a war? Just with House Whent?"
Colin seemed to have heard a big joke, and his face was full of disdain.
"Don't think that Davion·He'an can be arrogant just because he won some Hand's Tourney championship!"
"The battlefield is different from a martial arts competition! You can't fight alone!!"
"I'm too lazy to waste time with you down-and-out families, get out now!"
"When Davion·He'an comes back, let him come and talk in person."
"Don't forget to ask him to bring the tournament champion's prize money as compensation!"
At this moment, Colin Legg had already imagined in his mind the scene of Davion bowing his head and kneeling, confessing to him and begging for mercy in public.
Seeing his arrogant and ignorant look, the smile on Kalen·Vance's face became even thicker, and Willi·Wode on the side even laughed outright.
This move is to be polite first and then attack. The gift has already been sent out, and the other party's attitude is indeed as arrogant and rude as expected.
Since they took the initiative to quarrel with each other, this battle will be famous!
The two of them turned back at the same time, looking at Davion in the crowd, waiting for the order to start the battle.
Davion raised his hand slightly:
"Let's do it!"
