Game of Thrones: Lord of Winter
Chapter 74 Betrayal
"Father, you just came back like this?" Garlan Tyrell, who was stationed at Bitter Bridge, asked his father, the Duke of Mace.
Sir Garlan Tyrell is the second son of the Rose family. While his father Mace was transporting grain, he was responsible for guarding Bitter Bridge. (The episode was deleted.)
But last night, the Duke of Mace led a team of cavalry back to Bitter Bridge in disgrace, and also brought a very bad news that all their baggage was burned.
Garlan sighed silently and complained about his father's inaction in his heart.
Mace looked at his second son putting on armor, and he couldn't help asking, "Why are you wearing armor?"
"I'll take people to take a look. It's best to get some things back. Otherwise, how can we explain to the king and my younger brother, father. They have sent several ravens, just waiting for our supplies to launch a siege."
Sir Garlan finished putting on armor with the help of his servants. His badge was two golden roses on a green field, which showed that he was the second son. He has the same handsome appearance as the Knight of Flowers, but he is taller and stronger. He has a beard at the corner of his lips, which makes him look more mature.
Leading only one hundred cavalrymen, Garland went north from Rose Avenue. On the road, people with tattered clothes, blackened bodies, and supporting each other could be seen from time to time.
The more he walked, the more frightened he was. Who was doing this? When he approached the Royal Forest, the flames had become smaller. Both sides of the avenue had turned into scorched earth. The charred bodies of people and horses were everywhere. This was a place with lush trees. Obviously, the arsonist had also considered it.
Garland's brows were getting deeper and deeper.
The arsonist was leading a team of cavalry along the Lambun River towards Green Valley City. The cavalry marched silently.
A large group of people and horses had already gathered under Green Valley City.
When they approached, the cavalry instantly took a posture to meet the enemy. Sir Geoffrey appeared from the large group, with a hint of anger and a hint of fatigue on his face.
After seeing Cole, he seemed to have found his backbone instantly, but he was a little worried.
"Lord Julius, you are back." Jeffrey drove his horse forward.
Cole's face was also tired and visible to the naked eye. He smiled, "Well, why are you gathering under the city? Why don't you camp and go into the city."
Jeffrey's eyes were full of anger, "Sir, when we approached the city wall, Baron Meidou had already sealed the city gate and sent archers to shoot arrows on the city wall."
Cole nodded indifferently, "Let the brothers change horses."
"Sir, our horses have been taken into the city by them."
I didn't expect betrayal to come so quickly. As expected, there are only one and countless traitors.
He led his men to the castle.
"Sir Julius, have you been defeated?" Baron Meidou appeared on the city wall. The wall of Green Valley City was more than ten meters high, and the shouting from top to bottom could be heard. "Lord Stannis, I gave you so much trust, and this is how you repay him?"
He didn't even call him the king.
Looking at this group of dusty knights, and looking unhappy, it was obvious that they had lost a lot of soldiers. On the wall, you can see that this army has suffered a lot of casualties.
Jeffrey stepped forward, but was stopped by Cole, and he shook his head.
"Sir Medou, are you going to betray your oath to His Majesty Stannis?" Cole asked on the wall.
"You can't represent the king, my lord." His tone was a little arrogant, "I just think you are not worthy of leading us. In my territory and castle, what right do you have to point fingers at me? Who among the knights present is not more noble than you?"
He obviously thought someone would respond to his words, but a pair of eyes just looked at him, and there was no response. It shouldn't be, there are obviously many people who are dissatisfied with him, and Elwood Medou has secretly asked many people.
"Sir Geoffrey Florent, we agreed on this." The 20-year-old Baron Medou seemed to want to drag Geoffrey into the water.
Geoffrey said angrily, "Ewood Medou, I will not associate with a traitor. I did have some misunderstandings about Lord Julius at the beginning, but I am loyal to His Majesty the King. I will serve whoever the King orders me to obey."
"Sir Medou, if you don't return our horses and materials, then I can only tell His Majesty that you have surrendered to Renly." Cole shouted.
"I believe Lord Stannis will distinguish right from wrong. Cole Julius, you should think about how to explain your failure to him."
Cole shook his head, and Geoffrey could see the smile under his cheek.
"Baron Medou doesn't welcome us, so we can only leave."
Looking at the retreating cavalry, Medou thought disdainfully, without the castle, where can you go? Now the entire southern border is Renly's people, and no one dares to take in Stannis's generals.
Yes, no one dared to take in this cavalry, but he, Elwood Medou, took it in, and the people of Highgarden knew about it. A few days later, a Highgarden army surrounded Green Valley City, catching Baron Medou off guard.
The angry Highgarden people came with great force, and they hated this traitor in their family to the bone. Yes, his Medou family has always been a vassal of Highgarden.
Only then did he know that the cavalry led by Cole did not fail, but instead burned all the food and grass of Highgarden. The Highgarden people were full of anger, and now they vented it all on Green Valley City.
Cole really didn't think of occupying the castle to meet the enemy. He just wanted his generals to change horses and go to the Dorne Mountains. Our little fat earl had already set up a base here with his men. The Dorne Mountains will be their hiding place for the next period of time.
Not being able to change horses slowed down their march. Fortunately, the Highgardeners thought they had entered the castle of Greendale. When the Highgardeners broke through the castle, they did see a lot of horses.
Baron Medou was sent to Storm's End as a criminal. Now that the culprit has been caught, Mace Tyrell can also give an explanation to the king. Although the culprit has been denying it.
When Cole led his troops to the base, the little fat earl Duran Bar Emmon greeted them.
He wrote a letter and had it delivered to Storm's End. Although Renly's army has surrounded the castle, the waterway is still in Stannis's hands.
The news was also passed to the two deer. Naturally, the people of Storm's End were excited, which undoubtedly greatly relieved their pressure. On Renly's side, all the lords were silent.
They had all their preparations complete, waiting for the food and baggage to arrive, so that they could launch a strong attack on Storm's End, but something went wrong at this most critical stage.
The moment the army set out, they could no longer treat them as serfs. If they thought that their status and military power could still deter these people, they would be wrong.
Without food, they would face serious problems. Soldiers' defection was acceptable, but rebellion would be bad.
