"What? My nephew has already started having sex with old Titos?" Count Genos asked in disbelief when he heard the sentry's report.
After setting off yesterday, they first went upstream to land on a flat river beach where Blackwood's surveillance was not well guarded. Then they marched quickly following Arthur Andrew's route, and finally almost caught up with him in the afternoon of the next day.
"Yes, the two sides have started fighting. Sir Andrew and Lord Arthur are currently struggling to hold on, and the soldiers of the Tully family are also gathering, apparently ready to start a fight." The sentry responded quickly.
Genos nodded and sent the sentry away.
Then he ordered the army to speed up.
Hans Darry, a free knight, followed him and suggested:
"Your Excellency, the battlefield is only half a day's journey from here, but if you speed up, the soldiers will be very tired when you arrive. It is better to march slowly and conserve your energy, so that you can have combat effectiveness."
Genos thought for a while, "The Blackwood soldiers are also fighting, and they will be more tired than us. If we go a little later, Brynden will be taken back by them, then what is the point of us mobilizing an army?"
Genos has made up his mind to get Brynden, and he will not take anyone's advice to heart at this time.
What's more, they have 1,500 men, which is superior to the Blackwood family's strength of over 1,000 reported by the sentry.
The army carried out the count's will and accelerated towards the battlefield.
At this time, they were on the Tully family's merchant ship up the Red Fork River.
"Why do you think they started doing it?" Edmure was extremely troubled. "Count Janos just visited his seriously ill father. He was very normal at that time."
He is the eldest son of Lord Hoster, Lord Keeper of the River, and the uncle of Robb Stark.
Suddenly, they separated two families in order to transport enough soldiers, so they had to use merchant ships carrying cargo to transport soldiers.
"Maybe I'm too busy," Desmond Greer, the head coach of Riverrun, replied casually.
Edmure was worried, "They are fighting like this, do they think I am too young to do whatever they want?"
He always felt that the princes below him looked down upon him, and his father was seriously ill, so the burden of the Tully family was handed over to him.
Desmond advised: "That's absolutely not the case. Although you are young, you still have prestige. From Maiden Spring to the Pink City, which riverside citizen doesn't think you are magnanimous?"
Although he said this, the middle-aged man still complained in his heart, you also know that you are young.
"Are we almost reaching the battlefield? How is the situation?" Edmure stayed on the deck for a while before he thought to ask about the situation.
"Blackwood has the advantage in strength, but the Brackens are fighting hard, and it's hard to say who will have the upper hand," Desmond replied.
As a coach and conductor, he actually knew that Bracken had fallen into a trap this time.
After all, there are hundreds of people on one side and thousands of people on the other side, the number is close to one to three, and they all have similar armors and weapons. There is no suspense about the outcome of the battle.
Therefore, he hoped that the speed of the ship would be fast enough. As long as the soldiers of the Tully family and Edmure arrived, Blackwood would not dare to force them. By then, there might be a few people left in the Bracken family.
"How should I make a decision then?" Edmure turned to look at the instructor, "This is also my first time dealing with this kind of conflict between vassals. I don't know how to deal with it."
"There are conventions to follow for this kind of thing. After all, the two cloths have been fighting for thousands of years. To see who invades whose territory first, let the other party compensate some golden dragons. In addition, the two cloths will each compensate the other side for the losses of the army."
Edmure was not sure, "Is it just a punishment for some golden dragons? Is it too light? Robert is so tolerant, but it also reduces the Darry family's territory."
Desmond said firmly: "No. All the families in the river know that Shuangbu is incompatible with each other. If they openly disobey the Tully family's orders, they will not be punished too severely."
After hearing the instructor's words, Edmure felt confident, so he stopped talking and quietly waited for the ship to transport them to the battlefield not far downriver.
Soon, a fleet of ships carrying nearly a thousand troops from the Tully family arrived at the battlefield.
There was no ferry, so the soldiers had to jump into the river and walk ashore.
Edmure and other noble knights were much better off. They were carried ashore, so their legs were not wet at all.
At this time, the battle situation has entered a fierce stage. Although there are few people visible to the naked eye, Bracken is a tall warrior who is extremely brave and wields a sledgehammer across the entire battlefield.
He can knock over a Blackwood soldier with one blow, often leaving his armor and flesh to pieces.
Desmond's visual inspection showed that this soldier had killed more than twenty soldiers in just the short time he had landed ashore.
"It's really invincible. There is such a person in Bracken!" Desmond sighed, and then ordered the soldiers to shout to stop the fighting.
In some locations where the fighting was not very intense, heavily armed Tully soldiers entered in large numbers in an effort to separate the two groups of soldiers.
It took a long time before Shuangbu's troops were finally able to stop attacking each other.
Desmond rebuked loudly: "What did you do? Don't you know that Duke Horst gave an order to never allow vassals to attack each other?"
Then he asked the Tully soldiers to drive the survivors of the two families together, and began to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded soldiers.
The Blackwood soldiers gradually moved closer to the nobles, and Count Tytos was protected among them.
Seeing the significantly reduced number of soldiers, the Earl felt a little bit of fear.
It was visually estimated that only half of the 1,300 soldiers were left, and nearly half of the battle losses were contributed by that man.
That man, the man who cut off his sword and replaced it with a sledgehammer, actually killed hundreds of soldiers by himself, making the spectators so frightened that his legs went weak.
He also led his army to participate in the battle between Prince Rhaegar and Robert on the Ruby Bank.
Robert, who conquered the Seven Kingdoms bravely, did not give him such a visual impression.
With one hammer blow, a normal soldier wearing an iron helmet will burst out white slurry.
Even the magic mountain can't do this!
He is simply a murderer.
Arthur looked at the remaining Bracken soldiers who were in their early 100s around him, and began to worry about whether he could repay his debt to Stone Fence City.
Calculated at one hundred per person, there are a total of forty thousand golden dragons.
As for the admiring looks of the soldiers around him who regarded him as a god of war, he didn't pay much attention.
The battle just now gave him a lot of experience, so in the later stages of the battle, he was able to level up again.
Attribute points continue to add strength, one skill point adds to running, one adds to riding skills, and weapon points continue to add to two-handed weapons.

Andrew also survived, but not in good condition.
His left arm was hanging by his side, and there was blood on his right thigh.
Although his body was severely injured, he was very excited, "Sir Arthur, how did you develop your fighting skills? Why can you dominate the battlefield alone? Can you teach me?"
"This may be talent!" Arthur was troubled by the debt crisis and did not want to discuss this topic in depth.
The Tullys finally succeeded in separating the two sides, and then they asked the stewards of the two families to come out for a detailed discussion.
