The journey of film and television world is endless

In the following days, Liu Yuan resided in the villa, beginning to settle the arrangements for various properties. He estimated that this departure might last for many years. These properties under the watchful eyes of the Hightower family would also be gradually transferred. Several doctors from the Citadel's Conclave came to his door to persuade Liu Yuan, even offering him high compensation, but he rejected them all.

At this time, he had already recalled the Starfall Guard, preparing for the expedition. He participated in the war in the name of the Settigar family's mercenary force, responding to the King's call. These Unsullied were positioned as light infantry in the Free Trade Federation and received infantry training.

Liu Yuan didn't care for the simple equipment, he didn't want any of it and just brought the men back. He equipped them with newly forged heavy Piacenza armor, styled after the Tang Dynasty Northern Army's equipment. Including weapons, they were equipped with infantry spears, ring-pommel straight swords, armor-piercing cones (a dagger-shaped short weapon used by infantry for melee armor-piercing, similar to kunai and vajra), and powerful crossbows, all forged with new alloy.

Calculated in this way, the weapons and equipment for each heavy infantryman cost almost more than 30 gold dragons, not including the 70 gold dragons needed to purchase the Unsullied themselves. The Starfall Guard's four hundred men alone cost Liu Yuan forty thousand gold dragons. For this trip, Liu Yuan also purchased a large number of riding horses for transportation, and when the number was not enough, he bought many pack horses and mules instead.

One night, Liu Yuan secretly slipped out of Oldtown and came to the camp located on the north bank of the Honeywine River. He raised the white flag with a red crab swallowtail representing the Settigar family (representing a knight's attendant, the swallowtail can be cut off after becoming a formal knight) and sped along the Roseroad towards King's Landing.

It must be said that the Unsullied are indeed an excellent type of soldier. They are not only able to endure hardship, but also have extremely strong discipline and obedience. After Liu Yuan's period of conditioning, they became even stronger. After a night of marching, they actually ran twenty leagues (approximately sixty-four kilometers). He ran away secretly like this, and marching at night was also to avoid some trouble, in case the Hightower family would secretly use some tricks.

Now they have run far away, not far from Highgarden. Let the soldiers rest for a while, and they are expected to arrive before nightfall. When they arrive at Highgarden, they can go straight to Lannisport in the Westerlands along the coast road. Duke Tywin must welcome such a strong reinforcement, and Liu Yuan also plans to discuss a business deal with him, which he had been planning for five years.

Liu Yuan arrived at Highgarden before nightfall, and the soldiers who entered the city to purchase supplies heard a piece of news. An Ironborn fleet raided Seagard, led by Balon's eldest son, Rodrik Greyjoy. Seagard is the fief of the Mallister family, and its strategic significance is very important. It is the only port in the Riverlands leading to the Sunset Sea, and it is also the only way for the Ironborn to attack the Riverlands. Earl Jason Mallister led his army to resist stubbornly, and the battle under the walls of Seagard was very fierce. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Balon's eldest son, Rodrik Greyjoy, died under the city. Earl Jason won the final victory, and the demoralized Ironborn were driven back to the sea.

Bards in taverns composed these events into ballads and sang them. This battle was called the Battle of Seagard, and it was said to be very lively. In fact, the total number of troops used by both sides did not exceed three thousand, which in China would be a township-level battle.

This time, Liu Yuan only brought three hundred-man teams, which was already a considerable force. The remaining one hundred men were led by Bic, and they would become guards following the soon-to-be-completed 'Dawnstar'. Soon after, the royal fleet would pass by the Whispering Sound. At this time, Earl Adrian's Settigar fleet was following Stannis' fleet to the west coast.

At that time, the 'Dawnstar' and four other three-masted sailboats would join the Earl's command. Next, both sides would meet in Lannisport. At that time, whether Liu Yuan joined Robert's punitive expedition or followed the royal fleet, he would be able to earn enough credit to consolidate the status of the Settigar family.

While marching on the coast road, there were many small teams along the way heading north. They were all like Liu Yuan, accepting the King's call to participate in the war. Basically, they were in teams of several or a dozen, about a mounted lord with a few soldiers, or a few knights with their attendants. After all, those small lords and knights did not have enough financial resources to support more armed forces. Liu Yuan's army was already the largest in scale. Usually, an earldom only had one to two hundred standing troops, let alone such a heavily armed force with both men and armor.

After marching for five days, they passed through a hilly area again. Suddenly, the front was open, and they could already see the vast sea and the distant buildings. This port city is one of the most important seaports in the Seven Kingdoms and the largest city in the Westerlands. Looking at it from a distance, the scale of the city is much smaller than King's Landing and Oldtown. This city is also famous for producing goldware.

Not far north of Lannisport is the world-renowned Casterly Rock. It is a tall and magnificent rock castle, overlooking Lannisport and the Sunset Sea below, and is also the capital of the Westerlands and the rule of the Lannister family.

Casterly Rock, as the name suggests, is carved on a huge rock. It is said that when the castle was built, a large mountain was hollowed out. The walls and other buildings built on the cliffs made the castle's defense even stronger. In fact, Casterly Rock has never fallen.

Seeing that they had arrived at their destination, Liu Yuan ordered all the soldiers to put on their armor in order to show their strength. More than three hundred people were fully armed, some riding horses and others marching in orderly formations. That momentum immediately showed its extraordinary nature, and their special nature quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers on duty in the distance.

Soon several Lannister cavalrymen came over, and an officer in fine armor came forward. The person was very young, and when he took off his helmet, he revealed a head of golden hair. Seeing that it was a noble flag, he said: "Please stop! This is Lannisport in the Westerlands. Where are you from? Please report your family."

Liu rode out and said: "We are from the Settigar family of the Crownlands. I am Garon Settigar, the second son of Adrian Settigar, the current Earl of Crackclaw Point. This time, I led the recruited warriors to respond to King Robert's call to participate in the conquest of the Iron Islands rebellion. I am here to gather!"
