At this time, Arthur, who was missed by Darren, was crossing the river by boat with five hundred borrowed soldiers.
A passing cargo ship and three small boats owned by the Bracken family.
Last night they arrived at a crossing on the Red Fork River after dark and set up camp.
Coincidentally, a cargo ship traveling between King's Landing and the Riverlands was docked at the ferry, and the cabin was only half full.
If these goods were vacated, three hundred and sixty soldiers could squeeze in.
On the south bank, there are many small cargo ships belonging to Shili City - usually used to collect various handicrafts and carry people across the river - which can be summoned.
The large army was resting, and Andrew sent people to look for boats along the south bank, and finally found three larger ones that could allow the remaining 143 people to cross the river.
Crossing the river directly would save time and allow the soldiers to maintain their strength.
If we take five hundred soldiers to go around the bridge on the west and then move east along the river, it may take an extra day.
This is very detrimental to Arthur.
The Blackwoods may send more soldiers to retrieve their earl heir.
Fortunately, his Raven Tree City is near the Blue Fork River, so it will take time for a large number of infantry to arrive.
Compared to the West, there are more powerful princes in the Riverlands, and each family has equal power, so the Tully family cannot unify the Riverlands.
The Yu family cannot afford to have too many cavalry troops.
Even the feudal lord's family does not have a large number of cavalry, how can the princes under him have them?
According to Arthur's plan, after using his master's soldiers to drive away more than a hundred soldiers outside the castle, he took Brynden Blackwood westward along the Red Fork River to Riverrun.
And keep the evidence that they pretended to be bandits and let Edmure seek justice for Arthur.
The eldest son of a sub-top noble pretended to be a bandit. If word spread, people in a big place like King's Landing and Oldtown would laugh to death.
After all, Count Tytos couldn't afford to lose this person.
It will most likely be handled privately by then.
Count Tytos gave Arthur a hush money so that this embarrassing story would not spread.
This is also the best solution that Arthur can think of at this time.
In the final analysis, his power is still too small.
If Arthur had a thousand soldiers and Brynden had ten courages, he would not dare to play like this.
"This beautiful scenery." Andrew squeezed next to Arthur and said to the calm surface of the Red Fork River.
"It's a pity that the beauty will not last more than a few days." Arthur also sighed a little.
Just at the intersection of the lower Red Fork River and the Trident River, there is the famous Crossroads Inn.
It was there that after revealing her identity, Lady Catelyn Stark summoned a group of passing river nobles and family soldiers to kidnap the little devil Tyrion Lannister.
This incident can be compared with the later incident when she let Jaime Lannister go, which is regarded as the stupid act of Aunt Cat.
Because her nickname is cat, she is called Aunt Cat.
The act of kidnapping the little devil instantly ignited Lord Tywin's anger.
Even if Robert is still alive at this time, Tywin has entangled tens of thousands of troops in the west, and is stationed in the south of the Riverlands on the Golden Road. At the same time, he sends Gregor Clegane of the Mountain to loot the Red Fork River and reach the Lake of the God's Eye.
of vast flat areas.
Arthur vaguely remembered that the three Bracken soldiers also responded to Caitlin's call and followed the team that kidnapped the little devil to the valley.
What's more terrible is that this team was attacked by people from the Alpine clan, and three Bracken soldiers died before and after.
And the mercenary Bronn was among them.
After arriving at the Eagle's Nest, the summer residence of the Valley Lord, Aunt Cat did not give enough rewards to her companions.
Caitlin's sister, Lysa Arryn, the current controller of the valley, didn't say anything either.
"Lucky" Bronn turned his back and helped the little devil win the trial by combat.
After that, the two left the Eyrie, conquered the Mountain Clan on the way, and led them to the main army of the Lannister family.
Subsequently, the Imp, Bronn and the people of the Alpine Clan acted as the vanguard to face the 16,000 northern infantry led by the old Roose Bolton.
If Aunt Cat hadn't kidnapped the little devil, these things might not have happened.
Of course, there will definitely be chaos after the death of King Robert, but there is no essential conflict between the Alliance in the Riverlands and the North and the Lannister family, and there should not be a big fight.
The ones that should really fight are the Westerlands who support Joffrey, Dragonstone with Stannis in the second deer, and the Stormlands with Renly in the third deer.
Because these three families all claim to be the kings of the Seven Kingdoms, the Wolf family Stark only calls himself the king of the north.
"You have something to say, can you elaborate on it?" Andrew asked puzzledly.
"I predict that there will be war in the Riverlands." Arthur suddenly felt that he should pretend to be a magician.
He knows most of the plots that follow, and as long as he can tell a few of them correctly, he can easily be regarded as a true god walking in the world.
This is a hugely profitable business, no, you can make money with no capital at all.
You know, in the world of Game of Thrones, there are many nobles who do strange things in order to revive magic.
The nobles' enthusiasm for magic and prophecy is unimaginable to common people.
For example, Aegon V burned tall Duncan and short Duncan, as well as many courtiers, in Summerhall on the border between Stormlands and Dorne in order to use dark magic to hatch dragon eggs.
The tall Duncan is a well-known knight, and the short Duncan is the crown prince of Aegon V.
Another example is the well-known Queen Cersei - a famous beauty in the Seven Kingdoms, not the middle-aged woman with a square, sallow face in the TV series - when she was a child, she and her best friend received three prophecies from a witch.
In order to cover up these three prophecies, Cersei killed her best friend, but the prophecies still came true.
It is worth mentioning that the witch's granddaughter was the nurse that Robb Stark later fell in love with.
As long as Arthur uses his knowledge of the Game of Thrones reasonably, there is no problem in being a bad guy.
Andrew was very surprised, "Why do you think so? The Blackwoods and we have disliked each other for thousands of years, but we still failed to destroy each other. From a historical perspective, this incident is just a small matter."
Arthur was delighted to learn that Andrew believed that the war he predicted was a dispute between the two families.
This is so petty.
He shook his head and objected, "That's not it. In my dream, I saw a noble lady kidnapping the son of a lord, which triggered a war between the two countries. And, I clearly saw that the three
The Bracken soldier died in this kidnapping case."
The most important thing about pretending to be a magic stick is that it is vague but highly directional.
This description, which seemed clear enough in hindsight, is now a hazy picture.
"Do you often dream?" Andrew was even more confused. Feng Jun's son was kidnapped. This was a big deal.
Moreover, among the Seven Kingdoms, there were not many sons of lords who could go to the Riverlands. Only Edmure came often.
Arthur smiled mysteriously, "Believe it or not, you will know in about two or three months."
PS: The prequel to Ice and Fire is so hard to read. I watched it all day today and almost got confused by all the different people with the same name.
