After a night of arduous fighting, the Lannister army besieging Riverrun was completely defeated by Robb.

The Lannister army on the north and west banks was slaughtered, most of the soldiers fled or surrendered, and the soldiers who dared to stay and resisted all became wronged souls.

At first, the Lannister garrison that originally stayed on the west bank tried to organize a shield wall to resist, but the Riverrun garrison, led by Earl Tytos Blackwood, attacked from behind, and the battle on the west bank was even more tragic than on the north bank.

As for the east bank army that had not moved, Sir Fowler Prest, who stayed behind, saw that the battle situation was irreversible, and directly led his 4,000 men to retreat safely in an orderly manner.

And a Tyroshi mercenary who was responsible for leading the free riders cut down the flag of the Lannister family and switched to the Stark side.

After the battle, Sir Blackfish dragged his tired body to report the battle situation last night to Robb: "Lord Robb, Earl Andros's ship was hit by our catapult. Because he was wearing heavy armor, he never climbed up after the ship capsized."

"We lost 200 people in the battle, killed more than 2,000 enemies, captured more than 3,000 people, and seized countless supplies. We are arranging people to count them."

Robb felt a little tired. The blood on his body had not dried up after a night of bloody battle.

But he couldn't rest yet. As the leader of a team, he still had a lot of things to deal with.

"Have you found my uncle Edmure Tully?"

Sir Blackfish's tone was finally much more relaxed: "Yes, he was imprisoned in the same prisoner-of-war camp with a group of river nobles, but he has lost a lot of weight."

Robb nodded: "Send them to Riverrun for resettlement first, I will see them later. Now let the Tyrosh mercenary come to see me."

Tyrosh is a free city-state, but it does not belong to the continent of Westeros, but a member of the Land of Disputes, a port city rich in mercenaries and slaves.

I think the Kingslayer Jaime specially recruited these free riders for this battle.

But I didn't expect that these people were not strong in fighting spirit. Seeing that the Lannister family was about to be defeated, they actually changed their appearance and surrendered to Robb.

Faced with these cavalrymen who came to the door, Robb certainly had no reason to turn them away, but the loyalty of these people was very problematic, and it was not an easy task to subdue them.

The mercenary who cut down the Lannister family flag was soon brought to Robb.

The rider had an ordinary face, but his beard was very strange. It was not only long, but also a rare gray-green color.

While Robb was looking at him, the green-bearded mercenary was also observing the young wolf lord: blue eyes, reddish-brown hair, and a sturdy body.

He was no different from an ordinary person. Legend has it that the young wolf lord could transform into a dragon and sweep across the battlefield. I wonder if it was true.

No matter what he thought in his heart, as a defeated general, Greenbeard knelt on one knee and offered his loyalty to his new boss: "My name is Perro, and others call me Greenbeard. I am willing to fight for the new king on behalf of the three hundred riders and six hundred horses of Tyroshi."

Robb stood under a tree and looked down at Greenbeard: "I heard that the people of Tyroshi are known for their greed."

Greenbeard felt his scalp tingling. It was really difficult to respond to this, so he could only remain silent.

Robb changed the subject: "Actually, greed is not a bad thing. People always have something to gain. If everyone is a saint and has no desires, how can I get them to do things for me?"

Greenbeard let out a long sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease: "Don't worry, sir. The Lannister commanders are too stupid. We see that they are definitely not your opponents, so we joined your team."

"Really? It seems that you don't have any psychological burden about changing your team."

Greenbeard's heart, which had just settled down, was lifted up again.

It's really easy for others to manipulate your life when it's in their hands.

"No, no, no, we..."

Robb interrupted Greenbeard: "Actually, this is also good. We pay the money and you work hard. As long as we abide by the rules of the transaction, everyone will be happy, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Greenbeard felt like a puppet, being manipulated by others, and his mood completely fluctuated with the other party's words.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Greenbeard felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have means beyond his age.

Robb walked up to Greenbeard, stretched out his hand and touched his head, and the blood that had not yet dried smeared Greenbeard's head. Greenbeard did not dare to say a word.

"Since you have already sold your life to me, then take me to see the warriors of Tyrosh."

Greenbeard breathed a sigh of relief, and this level was finally passed.

Robb knew that the loyalty of this group of mercenaries would definitely not be high, but loyalty and sense of honor can be cultivated after birth, just look at your own methods.

Now that one-third of the wolf cavalry has been lost, Robb also needs cavalry to supplement, and this group of Tyrosh cavalry can just replenish the troops.

Moreover, this Greenbeard and this group of cavalry came from the East Continent and were very familiar with it. There will definitely be places where they can be used in the future.

After seeing the Tyrosh mercenaries, it was somewhat beyond Robb's expectations that the overall quality of these mercenaries was quite good, and each of them met Robb's rigid requirements for wolf cavalry.

But this is also reasonable.

These people came across the ocean to Westeros to be mercenaries on the battlefield. If they were not confident in their own strength, they would not dare to do so.

With these 300 Tyrosh riders, Robb's wolf riders expanded to more than 500 people, but their combat effectiveness may not be as good as the previous 300 people.

"Let them get along with the original wolf riders for a while, and then train them. The combat effectiveness should soar soon."

Greenbeard also brought Robb a piece of information: the Lannister army on the east coast has 4,000 people, 2,000 spearmen and 2,000 archers. They are estimated to have joined Duke Tywin on the King's Road.

Duke Tywin still has a team of more than 20,000 people, and they are rushing here non-stop.

Robb smiled and said, "I still have a team of 15,000 people chasing Tywin's ass. He is probably still far away from us now."

Greenbeard was shocked when he heard Robb's words. This young wolf lord defeated the Lannister family's team of more than 10,000 people with less than 3,000 people. He still has a team of more than 10,000 people. Isn't the Lannister family doomed to fail?

Robb no longer paid attention to Greenbeard. The siege of Riverrun had just been lifted, and Tywin still controlled most of the riverlands. He still had a lot of things to do.

"Sir Blackfish, come with me into the city. Let's see how Lord Tully is doing now."
