Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 19 You will know later

At this time, Arthur, who was missed by Darren, was crossing the river by boat with 500 borrowed soldiers.

A passing cargo ship and three small boats under the name of the main family of Bracken.

Last night, they arrived at a ferry on the Red Fork River after dark and set up camp.

Coincidentally, a cargo ship that travels between King's Landing and the Riverlands was docked at the ferry, and the cabin was only half full.

If these goods were freed, 360 soldiers could squeeze on.

There are many small cargo ships belonging to Stonehedge City on the south bank - usually used to collect various handicrafts and carry people across the river - that can be summoned.

The large army was resting, and Andrew sent people to look for boats along the south bank, and finally found three larger ones that could allow the remaining 143 people to cross the river.

Crossing the river directly can save time and keep the soldiers strong.

If you take 500 soldiers around to the bridge on the west and then go east along the river, it may take another day.

This is very disadvantageous for Arthur.

The Blackwoods may send more soldiers to retrieve their earl's heir.

Fortunately, his family's Raventree Castle is near the Blue Fork River, and it will take time for a large number of infantry to come.

Compared with the Westerlands, there are more powerful lords in the Riverlands, and each family is equally powerful, so the Tully family cannot unify the Riverlands.

The Yu family can't afford to have too many cavalry troops.

Even the feudal lords don't have a large number of cavalry, so how can the lords under them have?

According to Arthur's plan, after using the main family's soldiers to drive away more than a hundred soldiers outside the family castle, he will take Brynden Blackwood all the way west along the Red Fork River to Riverrun.

And keep the evidence of them pretending to be bandits, so that Edmure can do justice for Arthur.

The eldest son of a second-class noble pretending to be a bandit will make people in big places like King's Landing and Oldtown laugh to death.

I think Earl Tytos can't afford to lose this person.

At that time, it is very likely to be handled privately.

Earl Tytos gave Arthur a hush money so that this embarrassing thing would not be spread.

This was also the best solution Arthur could think of at this time.

In the final analysis, his power was too small.

If Arthur had a thousand soldiers, Brynden would not dare to play like this even if he had ten courages.

"This is a beautiful scenery." Andrew squeezed next to Arthur and said to the calm surface of the Red Fork River.

"It's a pity that the beauty will not last for a few days." Arthur also sighed.

There is a well-known crossroads inn at the intersection of the lower reaches of the Red Fork River and the Trident River.

It was there that Lady Catelyn Stark, after revealing her identity, summoned a group of passing river nobles and family soldiers to kidnap the little devil Tyrion Lannister.

This incident, like her later letting Jaime Lannister go, can be listed as two stupid actions of Aunt Cat.

Because her nickname is cat, she is called Aunt Cat.

The act of kidnapping the little devil instantly ignited the anger of Lord Tywin.

Even if Robert was still alive at this time, Tywin had gathered tens of thousands of troops in the Westerlands, stationed in the south of the riverlands from the Golden Road, and at the same time sent the Mountain Gregor Clegane to plunder the vast flat area from the Red Fork River to the God's Eye Lake.

Arthur vaguely remembered that three Bracken soldiers also responded to Catelyn's call and followed the team that kidnapped Little Devil to the Vale.

And the terrible thing is that this team was attacked by the people of the Mountain Clan, and the three Bracken soldiers died before and after.

And the mercenary Bronn was among them.

After arriving at the Eyrie, the summer residence of the Lord of the Vale, Aunt Cat did not give enough rewards to the people who accompanied her.

Catelyn's sister, the current controller of the Vale, Lysa Arryn, did not express her opinion.

"Lucky" Bronn turned against them and helped Little Devil win the trial by combat.

After that, the two left the Eyrie, conquered the Mountain Clan on the way, and led them to the main army of the Lannister family.

Afterwards, Little Devil, Bronn and the people of the High Mountain Clan served as the vanguard to fight against the 16,000 Northern infantry led by Roose Bolton, the old skinner.

If Aunt Cat had not kidnapped Little Devil, these things might not have happened.

Of course, there would be chaos after King Robert's death, but there was no essential conflict between the alliance between the Riverlands and the North and the Lannisters, so they should not fight.

The ones who should really fight are the Westerlands who support Joffrey, Dragonstone of Stannis, the third deer, and the Stormlands of Renly.

Because these three families all claim to be the kings of the Seven Kingdoms, and Wolf Stark only claims to be the king of the North.

"Your words are meaningful, can you tell me more specifically?" Andrew asked puzzled.

"I predict that there will be war in the Riverlands soon." Arthur suddenly felt that he should pretend to be a charlatan.

He knew most of the plots later, and as long as he could predict a few, it would be easy for people to regard him as a true god walking on earth.

This is a profitable business, oh no, you can make money without any capital.

You know, in the world of Game of Thrones, there are many nobles who do strange things to revive magic.

The nobles' enthusiasm for magic and prophecy is unimaginable to ordinary people.

For example, Aegon V burned Duncan the Tall and Duncan the Short, as well as many courtiers, to death in Summerhall on the border between Stormlands and Dorne, just to use black magic to hatch dragon eggs.

Duncan the Tall was a famous knight, and Duncan the Short was the crown prince of Aegon V.

Another example is the familiar Queen Cersei, a famous beauty in the Seven Kingdoms, who is not the middle-aged woman with a square sallow face in the TV series. When she was a child, she and her best friend received three prophecies from a witch.

In order to cover up the three prophecies, Cersei killed her best friend, but the prophecy still came true.

It is worth mentioning that the granddaughter of the witch was the nurse that Robb Stark later fell in love with.

As long as Arthur uses his knowledge of Game of Thrones reasonably, there is no problem in being a charlatan.

Andrew was very surprised, "Why do you think so? The Blackwood family and we have disliked each other for thousands of years, but we still haven't been able to destroy each other. From a historical perspective, this matter is just a trivial matter."

Arthur was happy. It turned out that Andrew thought that the war he predicted was a dispute between the two families of Robb.

This is too petty.

He shook his head to object, "That's not it. In my dream, I saw a noble lady kidnap the son of a feudal lord, which led to a war between the two countries, and I clearly saw that three Bracken soldiers died in this kidnapping."

The most important thing about pretending to be a charlatan is that it is vague but has a strong direction.

This description seemed clear enough afterwards, but now it is a hazy picture.

"Do you dream often?" Andrew was even more confused. The son of a feudal lord was kidnapped, which was a big deal.

Moreover, there were not many feudal lords' sons who could go to the riverlands in the Seven Kingdoms. Only Edmure came often.

Arthur smiled mysteriously, "Believe it or not, you will know in about two or three months."

PS: The prequel of Ice and Fire is so hard to read. I read it all day today and was almost confused by all kinds of people with the same name.
