48 Lengthy meetings and proposals

The army stationed at the intersection is still the same, with mist swaying in the morning, and the moist breath is sucking into the mouth and nose, which also dissipates the haze in the hearts of many soldiers.

The "Treatment" incident seemed like a small episode. Since it appeared last night, everyone has been very tacitly not mentioning it. The lords even strictly prohibited the soldiers in the military camp from mentioning it, and those who violated the violations were severely punished.

So the endless meetings began again.

"What's going on in Madame Lesha in Eagle Nest City? That's her real sister. She actually planned to refuse to save her?"

"It would be fine if we didn't help us, even if we took a boat to borrow the road, was she sure she hadn't been pulled to Lannister by Old Tywin??"

"The real sister is not as important as her own life." Someone said sarcastically: "After following a woman with no eggs, the butt of a woman with no eggs, they became a group of no eggs. Even the old duke Jon Ailin did not intend to avenge the revenge of Jon Ailin. Now I see how they will claim their honor in the future?"

"The Knight of the Valley can't count on. Who can we count on? Think about it and you will know what the hemiland is now in chaos!"

"Try to contact Renly Baratheon?"

"Ranli Baratheonba cannot both us and Lannister lose both. He will not take action in this situation. Besides, since Lord Ed has sworn allegiance to his brother Stannis, we are already enemies for Lanli."

“…”

"Or why not make peace?"

"Make peace?" An old nobleman, who was originally sitting at the corner of the conference table, was immediately furious when he heard this.

"The Tuley family and Mrs. Caitlyn are now half of Tywin's palm. What conditions do you think he will put forward? Also, my two sons died in the Whispering Forest, and one became a prisoner of war. I don't know where I am being locked up now. After the Lannister family almost wiped out me, I will never retreat if I don't avenge this!"

After his roar fell, the tent became a mess.

"No one is intact in this war, Lord Kastark!"

"We deeply regret the death of your two sons, but you must always put the overall situation first, right?"

"The regicide is locked in the city of Fengliu. If you want to take revenge, you must break through the blockade of the Lannister family. So what good will you do?"

“…”

"After all the time, I still have to break through the blockade line set by the old lion."

"How to break through? We didn't try."

"I think I still have to build a bridge if I want to enter Hejian. Although the time is slow, there is no other way."

"If you want to build a bridge, you must send a large army to defend strictly, otherwise the enemy will run to attack at any time, and you must also disperse your troops to guard against the damn dwarf... I'm so fucking annoyed, why didn't the shit widower in the Frey family poison him to death!"

"We don't have a city base, so we're too passive..."

"If the valley people were willing to borrow the road, it wouldn't be so troublesome."

"Fuck Madam Lessa!"

“…”

After a strong man who had several fingers cursed, he was silent in the camp for a while, and someone suddenly said, "Where is our Majesty?"

"Putting aside the hatred of Kastark and all the adults here, our dispatch of troops has basically achieved the goal of rescuing Lord Ed. Now the army is still here, not for us."

"So, where is His Majesty Stannis?"

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help looking at Ed.

In response, Ed was silent for a moment and said, "His Majesty Stannis will soon send an envoy to discuss countermeasures."

His voice was very low, and it looked particularly gloomy with the expressionless horse face.

Since he returned from the valley, he has not been in a good mood. Last night's incident left him in a state of depression, and he has no time to manage the chaotic meeting just now.

“…”

"There are no soldiers in the remote village of Longshi Island, and there are not many people who are very powerful. What can he do?" Someone muttered in a low voice, but did not dare to say loudly.

Since Ed Stark, who is the "master", has already sworn allegiance, what else can they do to be vassals?

As a guardian of the North for many years, Ed's reputation among the entire North nobles was enough to make him suppress any opposition.

The meeting seemed to be in a stalemate.

One method or proposal after another is proposed, reasonable or unreasonable, and all of them are thrown into the "trash can".

The valley cannot be counted on, and Stannis cannot be counted on. The Greyjoy family on Ironman Island can count on something. Unfortunately, Duke Ed's adopted son Theon Greyjoy has been home for a long time and no news has been heard. Or even if there is news, it cannot quench the near thirst.

The lords were worried in order to find a way to find a way, and they never stopped making noises and scolding, knocked on the table, argued endlessly, and shouted; from time to time, someone broke out irritably, calmed down and returned quietly.

Lannister's current head of the family, Tywin Lannister, made this move "locking the river in the mountains" really make people feel a headache.

He blocked half of the northern army and many lords outside the battlefield, and then relied on the geographical convenience of Luanhe City and another military important place in Sanchahe River Basin, Helenburg, took turns to send small groups of cavalry to harasse the river bank continuously, so as to prevent the northern army from building bridges to force the river water, and strictly blocking other ferries, so as not to give the northern army any room to take advantage of loopholes.

So much so that they seem to have only three options now - repairing bridges, attacking forcefully, or retreating.

Under all kinds of contradictions, it is impossible to retreat. The bridge repair is underway, but not only does it take time to take place, but you have to be prepared for harassing attacks from enemies with supply points and powerful power at any time.

They have tried the strong attack during this period. Unfortunately, although Luanhe City is not a military fortress, the towering city walls and deep moats are still timid. It is inevitable that the losses will be unbearable if they want to defeat them. The enemy may be more willing to see such a scene happening.

So halfway through the execution of that battle plan, they rationally retreated their troops.

The meeting process has stalled as a result.

...

The lords have different personalities and basically different ways of thinking, and there is no need to avoid disputes and opposition. However, no matter who they are, they can't help but glance at a female guard standing in the corner of the tent during the conversation.

He has a slender figure, a handsome and heroic facial features, and a rosy face reveals a healthy luster.

At this time, the female warrior named Daisy Mormon rubbed her collarbone and shoulders from time to time, looking dazed

In fact, it was not just her, everyone couldn't help but sigh when they were resting.

The person who had already stepped into the threshold of death with half his feet was now a guard. Who could believe it if he didn't see it with his own eyes?

This is simply a miracle!

It's just that the methods are too scary...

...

After glanced at the corner, the stream count who had "tested" Charles before said, "It's impossible to attack strongly, and the backup can't be found. I think we'll make up."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone nodded in agreement.

"Yes, now the enemy occupies and blocks the rich Hejian land. We have whatever we want, and we have no supplies. We can't stand the consumption."

"No one harvests the grains at home. It's hard to imagine how to spend the winter soon..."

As the meeting continued for a long time, the wind seemed to gradually change, which made some of the main war factions very anxious but helpless. As the biggest lord, Ed Stark kept staring at the map on the table and thinking about something without saying a word.

The pro-war faction felt that the Duke supported them, but wars were not something that could be won by supporting them or not, and the consequences must be considered. No matter what, the current situation is a huge problem.

"I have a way."

A gentle voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

If others said this, no one would care much, because everyone mentioned more than one solution at the meeting, but even Ed Stark had to pay attention to this person.

Luce Borton, the Count of the North Fortress of Terror, is the most important right-hand man of the North Army. Borton has always led the army alone in the previous wars, and it has never disappointed.

"What can Lord Borton do?" someone couldn't help asking.

After glanced at him, Bolton said calmly: "As far as I know, Tywin did not assign many regular troops to the dwarfs. The dwarf who entered Luanhe City was only relying on the savages he had brought over from the Mingyue Mountains. I think Lord Amber knows best that you have fought with them in the previous battles."

"Those fucking savages are stupid, but they are very strong." Jon Amber muttered.

During the charge, he was pulled off by a savage man and almost died on the spot.

"From the night attack the day before yesterday, they are indeed not smart and do not accept discipline, otherwise they would not be so greedy for merit and risk." The others nodded.

"If we were in the wild, they would have been eaten by us, a group of stupid things with bird heads."

“…”

"But it is a force that cannot be ignored." Luce Bolton interrupted the sarcasm of many lords and said expressionlessly: "Especially after the dwarfs used some means to pull out a large group of people from the mountains, these savages have become the main level of our current difficulties."

"So Lord Borton has a way to deal with them?" asked the Earl of Streamland.

"Maybe it can be considered a solution."

As Bodon said, he glanced at the female warrior in the corner and said, "As far as I know, the mountain clans generally worship witches and others, and they are very afraid of wizards and blindly obey the wizards. Everyone has seen what happened last night. There is no scene with more dark witchcraft characteristics than that time. We can set up those scenes outside the Luanhe City. The clan tribes have poor military discipline and are not subject to discipline. When they see that scene, the enemy guarding the city will be dispersed, and then we are..."

"This...is a bit inappropriate?" someone said hesitantly. Although the scene last night was terrifying and memorable, this alone wanted to scare the city guards' soldiers?

Someone beside him thought, "The clans are indeed simple-minded, and the dwarfs of the Colanist family are not that easy to fool."

"I think you can try it. Just by relying on dwarfs, you will definitely not be able to control so many barbarians." Some people agreed.

"This is quite in line with the style of doing things for your family." A lord who was not usually dealing with him smiled.

The Borden family in the North Terror Fort has always been terrifying with cruel means. Their clan language is "Wu Bian Shang Feng". It's nothing to just take it out, but in conjunction with this clan language, it's another phrase that is more widely circulated in the North - "Naked people have few secrets, but skinned people have no secrets."

Just by reading this, you can already understand what this family has done in the past dynasties. Relying on this reputation, the scarlet naked flag of the Borton family has scared away many bad intentions for more than a thousand years.

Botton glanced at him expressionlessly, ignored it and looked at Ed in the leader.

"Duke, what do you think?"

Everyone's eyes gathered on the head of the old wolf again, but before Ed could answer, another sound suddenly sounded in the camp.

"As a guest, Sir Kelanston came to the North as a guest, not by instructor!"

A sharp and hoarse voice refuted them loudly. Everyone looked helplessly. Unexpectedly, it was an old-looking countess of the Mormon family.

Since he saved her daughter, this stubborn old woman has no shame on others to say that the wizard is bad, and she has also been very protective of her words and deeds.

"Although Sir Kelanston is a guest, the host cannot refuse to save him in trouble, right? We are now facing this problem..."

"I really hope that your words can reach Sir Kelanston's ears, Lord Leswell!" Mrs. Megg interrupted his words sarcastically.

The Earl of the Stream Land looked choked and dared not speak anymore in disappointment.
