The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Chapter 532: chameleon

When one of Zogo Cao's gangs led five thousand cavalry to sweep the dense forest of the delta, on the other side of the narrow sea, a legion also marched in the mountains of the valley.

The Legion flag was flying.

The banner at the head is the crowned stag, without the circular flame surrounding the crowned stag. This marked the disappearance of the authority and influence of Meili Shandro's Great National Teacher.

The flag has returned to the tradition of the Baratheon family for hundreds of years. This flag is also the flag of the royal family today, symbolizing the royal power on the continent of Westeros.

The first female king of the mainland was in the army. She was Shireen Baratheon, who was only ten years old. By her side are the guardian of the whole world, the regent, the guardian of the north and the guardian of the east, Duke Ed Stark, and the captain of the Royal Forest Iron Guard-Barristan Selmi, who has come back from the dead, nine years old Royal Guard Bran Stark and his daunting Ice Wolf Summer, the Secretary of the Sea Ronald Clinton, the Commander of the King’s Landing Forces, Jolly Kelso...

Behind the royal crown of the stag banner, there is a big ice wolf banner. Next to the Ice Wolf banner is the Eagle's Nest Banner of the Clinton family under Wind's Breath. A pair of red and white fighting griffins on the flag, the background color also corresponds to the contrast of half of white, the other half of red.

The Hundred Great Wall Rangers led by Carter Pike and Jon Snow. Their banner is a black raven flying in the sky against the background of the Great Wall. Below the raven is a lonely back figure of a little night watchman riding a war horse. .

This small team came ashore in Seagull Town, and most of the Legion soldiers stayed on more than 300 battleships. Ed Stark led the generals and guards to the valley with a total of 1,000 soldiers.

The valley has a deep heritage, and the legion that went to the bitter bridge is only a small part of the valley's strength.

The guardian of the valley, Lysa Tully, has recruited the army of the valley and will hand it over to the guardian of the east, Ed Stark, to personally command.

Conquest of the Vale Legion is the second order issued by Ed Stark as the guardian and regent of the whole world. At the same time, both the riverland and the west side of the valley received orders from Ed Stark to recruit legions from the guardian of the whole territory and the regent.

Although the major lords and nobles have their own scheming, no one can see whose plans are, but Ed Stark only carried on as the royal order and the regent, and first occupied the ‘famous’ in politics.

Although it is known that Kevon and Tyrell have hired the Golden Knights, they still maintain the political appearance of respecting the Baratheon family as king. Kevon and Tyrell have not publicly raised the flag of rebellion, and everything is back. They were all mercenary golden knights, so Ed Stark followed the water, pretending not to know, ordered them to be released one by one, and hoped that the senior officers in the golden knights could put aside their past grievances and work together to fight against the north. ghost.

The high-ranking generals in the Golden Knights are seven or eight out of ten, and they are the old nobles on the continent of Westeros. The current head of the regiment, Harry Strickland, named himself "Homeless", which shows that these people want to return to their homeland.

To resettle these people, they must return their former fiefdoms and deprived castles. This is a very difficult problem. Nobles who occupy and own those lands and castles will not be willing to give up the land and castles. Out.

The fief of the head of the Harry Strickland family is on the land of the river bend under the jurisdiction of the Tyrell family, adjacent to the land of the Landau Tully family.

Ed Stark slashed the mess with a sharp knife. He neither pursued the attack on Wind's Breath by the Golden Knights and the multiple castles occupied, nor did he fight head-on with the strong Golden Knights. He could assemble and pass through Melisanne. After Zhuo's urban turmoil, his strength was less than 5,000.

After the naval battle, the total number of Tyrion’s Legion and Carter Pike’s Legion on Dragonstone Island exceeded 10,000, and their strength has risen sharply. But since the Golden Knights and Kaivon Tyrell are in the same group, he just led the army to go. Fall into their encirclement. And if he does not go, the coalition forces who have been kept in the dark are safe.

For Kevon and Tyrell to succeed, they must win over nobles from all over the world to support them. They will try their best to get the support of the royal courtiers. The true target of their work is naturally Ed Star The royal blood of K and Baratheon.

As long as Ed Stark and Shireen Baratheon are still there, and the strength of the Riverland in the Northland Valley is still there, Kevon and Tyrell can only surrender to the Baratheon dynasty on the surface.

Ed Stark evaded his edge, deliberately left King's Landing, and led his army northward, under the banner of resisting ghosts first.

They set off from Longshi Island, took the sea route, and the first stop on the north was to choose the valley that publicly claimed to follow the new queen.

Lysa Tully gave money and people to support Ed Stark's northward journey, and declared Shireen Baratheon as king.

Ed Stark didn't want to go north, as long as he got the new legion in the valley, and then gathered forces from the river, he quietly turned around and fought back to King's Landing, secretly went south, and beat the Golden Knights entrenched in the territory of the Wind's Breath.

This military strategy cannot be leaked.

The Golden Knights were unable to take down the Fortress of Wind, if the army went northward to dominate, and eager for quick success and quick gains, it would suffer the enemy.

Wind's Breath Fort has been a fief of the Baratheon family for hundreds of years, and its influence is deeply rooted. As soon as the Golden Knights leave, the people of the conquered Wind's Breath Fort will rise up and rebel and return to the rule of Wind's Breath Fort. . Moreover, the Fortress of Wind itself was not taken by the Golden Knights. The castle is too strong, and the fierce defender Kotanai Pangros is a tough guy who regards death as his home. The Golden Knights cannot take the Fortress of Wind by storm in a short time.

Shireen Baratheon is called queen, and if Kevon and Tyrell openly rebel, they will become enemies of the country. Their honor will also self-destruct and hurt the hearts of the people in their territory.

Now their fig leaf is the mercenary Golden Knights!

In order to fear that the contradiction would intensify publicly, Ed Stark did not dare to uncover this layer of cloth.

Ed Stark judges the situation and has his own plans. Kevon, Tyrell and Jon Clinton of the Golden Group also have their own plans.

After Ed Stark led the army through the blood gate of the valley, he was found by Mia Shidong (Robert's illegitimate daughter in the valley) who took him as a servant in the Eagle's Nest in the valley to change her humble status Ed Stark whispered: "My lord, I think I need to be careful. The situation may be a bit wrong."

Mia Shidong has lived in Ailin Valley since he was a child and knows everything in the valley well. Before following Ed Stark, she was a guide who could easily go up and down the Eagle's Nest in the dark. Even if the other people were men, they were not as calm and comfortable as her.

Eagle's Nest City towers high into the clouds, built on the top of the giant's gun, and the road uphill is extremely steep. From the foot of the mountain, it takes a whole day to walk, and at night, the mountain breeze roars and the gravel falls on the mountain road, which is thrilling and difficult.

Ed Stark didn't feel anything wrong.

"I have never seen the general guarding the blood gate, and those soldiers are also very strange."
