Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Westerland Military Camp outside Harrenhal Castle in the Riverlands

"Sir Jaime, it's a pleasure to see you here." A voice disturbed Jaime who was riding around in the camp. He turned around and saw a young knight coming in front of him.

"Who are you? I have never seen your crest." Jaime Lannister looked up and asked.

"I am Sir Roger Gray of Darry City, son of Earl Wilder Gray." Roger Gray said respectfully.

"The Gray family of Darry City?" James was confused after hearing these words. "If I remember correctly, the lord of Darry City should be Sir Raymond Darry, right?"

“Don’t you know yet?” Sir Roger said in surprise, “Ser Raymond and his sons had been executed by the late King Robert in conspired with the Grafson family in Seagull Town to help the Targaryen family restore. "

"Of course I know this. What that old guy Raymond's illegitimate son did in Essos is not a small trick. The sailors in the port are saying that he will return to Westeros with an army of 100,000 to help the Targaryens. The remnants of the war took back the Iron Throne." James said for a moment, "But what does this have to do with you?"

"It was at that time that my father made great contributions in putting down the rebellion, so he was given Darui City and nearby fiefdoms by the late king, and received the title of earl." Roger explained quickly.

Roger still refers to Robert as the late king in Jaime, because in any case, Queen Myrcella's claim to the Iron Throne originated from her nominal father.

"If you hadn't let those two fishes slip through the net, Ian Darry and Darren Grafson, you would have really made a great contribution." James chuckled, then shook his head, "But If they hadn't run away, who would have believed that two bereaved dogs could do such a big thing?"

"This" Roger actually wanted to explain. After they heard the news from Essos, they conducted thorough investigations many times, and it was basically certain that Earl Raymond did not have an illegitimate son named Ian Darry at all. .

But what’s the point of explaining this now? If the news brought back by the sailors who had been to the East was true, would the illegitimate child still need the bloodline of 'Darry'? It wasn't Darry that glorified Ian, but Ian glorified the name Darry.

"By the way, since you are the son of the Earl of Darry City," James then asked, "then you should be the vassals of Lord Hoster Tully. Why are you in my army?"

Although the west of the Riverlands, except for the Riverrun itself, has been occupied by the coalition forces of the West and the Reach, and many nobles of the Riverlands have switched to the side of Queen Myrcella, their armies are stuck. After arriving at Harrenhal, it has been impossible to capture this ancient fortress. Darry City is located east of Harrenhal and is currently not under the control of the Western Army.

"It's a long story," Roger couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Actually, we have been serving under your command ever since the two Dukes Stannis and Renly fought against each other." At that time, Lannister stood on Lannis' side. "We have been serving you since then and have been loyal to Queen Myrcella." However, there were only one or two hundred of them, which probably did not attract James' attention.

"Oh." Jaime frowned unconsciously. It was not uncommon in Westeros for fathers and sons to be loyal to each side, but he instinctively felt disgusted by it.

This reminded him of his painful experience as a member of the Kingsguard. On one side was his father, and on the other side was the king to whom he swore allegiance.

James did not ask Sir Roger the question, 'What would you choose if I ordered you to kill your father?', but he also lost interest in Roger, and he took steps again, preparing to leave.

"We, the Gray family, have always remembered the help that Ser Lucion Lannister gave us. We have always been grateful to the Lannister family. My father gave me all the family's armies. Although he himself I have no choice but to serve the 'Pseudo King' Shireen, but I haven't contributed much." Roger became anxious all of a sudden. He was waiting for James here to show his loyalty. If he was disgusted by the other party, then why not? Come on?

"Lucian?" Has the playboy who competed with Tyrion ever done such a thing? James had never heard of this matter, but he was somewhat interested.

"Yes, Sir Lucien, I wonder if he has joined your army. I have always wanted to see him again and thank him in person." Seeing James' response, Sir Roger quickly asked.

"No, you go to Lannisport to find him after the war." James shook his head, "Tell me about Lucian? How did he help you?"

"Sir Jaime!" At this time, a knight who suddenly broke in interrupted the conversation between the two, "News from the north, Duke Eddard Stark has captured Tyrion, and he demands to exchange prisoners in person with you. negotiation."

"Tyrion is still alive?" Jaime put Sir Roger's story behind him in an instant. He suddenly turned around and grabbed the shoulder of the young knight of the Just family who came to report, and blurted out a series of questions. Question, "Are you sure it was Lord Eddard himself who said he captured Tyrion? What about Little Joe and Tommen? Are they still alive?"

Since Castle Black was recaptured by the Yankees, Tyrion has completely lost contact with his family. At that time, Duke Tywin immediately sent a messenger to Duke Eddard to redeem Tyrion, Joffrey and Tommen. , but the answer he got was that the Northerners did not find them in Castle Black at all.

Lord Eddard would not lie about this kind of thing. He might have told Tywin that he is in my hands, but he will not let you redeem him now, but it is impossible for him to say that he did not see it even though he clearly caught it. So after getting the news, James knew that his brother and two sons were in danger. Now Duke Eddard suddenly proposed to exchange Tyrion for prisoners. How could he not be excited?

"It's not from Duke Eddard himself. But the information sent by Duke Eddard's guard captain Jory Kelso, we can basically think that this is Duke Eddard's original intention." After the knight finished speaking, he added,

"Jory said that they did not capture Lord Tyrion at Castle Black. They said that when they passed through the Neck on their way south, they met Lord Tyrion in a 'castle' of a Marshland noble. At that time, Tyrion Lord Ang was playing a clown in that noble's house, and after discovering Duke Ed, he took the initiative to reveal his identity to the Duke and asked him to capture him."

"So Tyrion doesn't know the whereabouts of Joffrey and Tommen?" James' heart sank. Although it was good news that Tyrion was safe, he hoped that his two sons were also safe. thing.

"Kyrie didn't mention it." The Cavaliers did not directly deny it, but they were obviously not optimistic about it.

"Okay, get ready, come with me to meet our Lord Stark."

Land between the rivers, the kneeling stack

This building is located on the south bank of the bend of the Trident River. The long and low wing stretches out to the river, as if to embrace the passing tourists. The ground floor of the inn is made of gray stone, the upper floor is made of lime-washed timber, and the ceiling is paved with slate. It had stables and a pavilion covered with vines.

For the people of the North, this is by no means a good place. 300 years ago, King of the North Torrhen Stark led the northern army south to attack Aegon I Targaryen after the Battle of the Wilderness. It was in Here, Torrhen Stark saw Aegon's dragon, knelt down and offered his crown to him.

To this day, the sign on the door of this inn still depicts a kneeling king.

But Ed Stark stationed his army here not because of the shame of his first-blood ancestors, but simply because of the great strategic value here.

First of all, the Kneeling Stack is backed by the Red Fork River, and supplies from the Fairy Market and the Twins can be obtained from the north bank at any time. Eddard Stark promised to Lord Walder Frey that his son Robb and Buddha The marriage of the girls from the Lei family exchanged the loyalty of Marquis Frey. The Frey family not only provided 3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry to join the northern army, but also provided Duke Ed with a large amount of food, which gave him possession of the land in the river. The capital of the head-on confrontation between the land and the people of the Western Territory.

Secondly, this can cut off the entire River Road in the middle, blocking Jaime's food route. The Western Army is currently divided into two parts. One third is commanded by Ser Davon Lannister. The siege is almost running out of ammunition and food. of Riverrun, two-thirds of them commanded by Jaime Lannister, besieged Harrenhal.

The armies of the Riverlands are currently confronting the armies of the Stormlands at the 'Bitter Bridge' in the south, because several famous southern generals, including Garlan Tyrell and Randyll Tarly, were previously in Erlu's 'Two Kings' He was killed by the red-robed woman during the peace talks. Now the army in the Reach is in chaos. No one can convince the crowd. So much so that they have been facing off against the Stormland army on the other side, which is less than one-third of theirs, for so long without making any move. General attack.

This is an opportunity for Eddard. He needs to defeat the army of the West before the Reach officially marches on King's Landing. As long as the Lannister family can be defeated, the Vale and the Reach will naturally have to reconsider their positions. In this way, Eddard can keep Queen Shireen's crown and protect the Baratheon family's last bloodline.

But now Ed is facing a dilemma - the Riverrun Valley is about to be defeated, and King's Landing lacks defenders.

Riverrun is the natal castle of Eddard's wife, Catelyn. His father-in-law, Lord Hoster Tully, and his brother-in-law, Ser Edmure, are still in the castle, which has run out of food.

The current defender of the Riverrun is Brynden Tully, the Blackfish, and Eddard knows that he will not surrender to the Lannister even if he starves to death.

But Ed couldn't send his troops westward to relieve the siege of Ben River at this moment. Once he left here, Jaime could completely abandon the siege of Harrenhal and attack King's Landing after obtaining new supplies. Once King's Landing falls, the true Baratheon dynasty will also be destroyed.

Fortunately, they got a surprise during their trip south - Tyrion.

Lord Roose Bolton suggested to Eddard that he use Tyrion to propose a prisoner exchange to the Lannister family. If all the Tully family members could be exchanged from the besieged Riverrun domain, then they could directly find him in the next moment. James' army will fight in a decisive battle, and there will no longer be any worries.

Ed didn't actually have much hope for this suggestion. After all, exchanging prisoners for Tyrion and the Tully family was not fair at first sight.

But Roose believed that there was a chance of success if he talked to Jaime Lannister directly about the matter. At Lord Bolton's insistence, Ed sent someone to request a meeting with Jaime.

In a blink of an eye, the day came when James and Ed agreed to meet. The two parties met on a hill 40 miles west of the town of Earl Harroway.

James wore a gold-plated plate armor and a fox fur cloak, and led six knights, twenty cavalry and horse archers. Ed on the other side led more people than James, a total of 50 cavalry.

"Duke Stark." James rode out and saluted Duke Eddard.

"Sir James." Upon seeing this, Ed also left his team, stepped forward on horseback, and came about three or four meters in front of James.

"It's really surprising that you are the first enemy in this time who has not called me 'Kingslayer' upon meeting," James said the words 'Kingslayer' in a rather exaggerated tone.

Eddard Stark was not good at words, and he didn't want to have a verbal argument with him, so he just frowned.

"Do you know that you are doing a very dangerous thing, my lord?" Jaime continued to smile, "Even the meeting between Stannis and Renly had an assassination and an ambush. How dare you bring such a dangerous thing with you?" Will anyone come to see me?"

James's voice was so loud that even the northern cavalry far behind Ed heard his words, so they all put their hands on the hilts of their swords.

"Obviously, you only brought fewer people." Ed glanced behind James, shook his head and said, "Okay, we are not meeting here just to chat. Let me talk about my conditions."

"Lift your siege on the River Basin, and we will return your brother to you." Roose Bolton rode up behind Ed. He couldn't trust Ed to negotiate. How could a person who was not good at lying be able to negotiate?

"Huh?" James was stunned for a moment, "Are you telling a joke, Lord Bolton? The River Run Valley is about to run out of food, and it will soon be ours. You want me to trade a prisoner for a castle?"

"If this prisoner's surname is Lannister, and he happens to be Lord Tywin's son and Ser Jaime's brother, then he should be worth a castle." Roose Bolton responded unceremoniously.

James' face darkened and he stopped pretending: "How can I be sure that my brother is in your hands?"

Ed waved his hand, and a blond dwarf was taken out of the crowd by two northern cavalry.
