At the intersection of the Blackwater River that flows from northwest to southeast and the Golden Avenue that runs from east to west, a hotel is operating at full capacity to receive guests.
Here, Arthur got the news he wanted, but was also confused by more rumors.
Combining his understanding of the plot of Game of Thrones with the rumors in the store about mercenaries flocking to the Westerlands, he came up with the general movements of the Riverlands and Tywin's army.
After everyone in Lannister received the news that the little devil had been kidnapped, Jaime, who was in King's Landing to protect his younger brother, was eager to protect his brother. They first confronted Prime Minister Duke Eddard. During this period, after the lion soldiers injured Eddard, Jaime fled back to Casterly Rock City.
.
Lord Tywin directly summoned the army, and then divided the troops into two groups.
The group consists of Lannister family soldiers and a small number of elite vassal family soldiers, about 20,000 people, under the direct command of Tywin. It starts from Casterly Rock City, goes eastward through the Golden Road, and then goes north from the vicinity of Deep Cave City, and ends at Horned Valley City.
Troops were stationed nearby.
Corner Valley City is the home fort of the Brax family in the west. It is located between the mountains of the Golden Tooth Mountains and near the source of the Red Fork River.
If something changes, Tywin can enter the heartland of the Riverlands east of the river from the narrow valley between the south bank of the Red Fork River and the Golden Tooth Mountains, and then attack eastward to capture Harrenhal.
The other route, composed of soldiers from various vassal families in the West, sworn knights, landed knights, mercenaries, etc., about 15,000 people, was led by James, starting from Casterly Rock City, along the River Road, and passing by Sarsfield.
City and other places marched towards Golden Teeth City.
Lady Stark made the first move, but it was the West that took the lead militarily.
The Riverlands' response was a bit disorganized.
Edmure first sent four thousand soldiers from the Piper family of Pink City and the Vance family of Travel's Rest to the vicinity of Golden Tooth City in an attempt to block the River Road and prevent the army from the West from entering his homeland.
territory.
This left the river land between Kakudani City and Pink City without heavy military guarding, which was equivalent to opening the door to Tywin's main force of the Western Region.
Then the young and careless Edmure gathered most of the vassal family soldiers and all of his own Tully troops in Riverrun.
There are more than 3,000 people from the Blackwood family in Raventree City, more than 3,000 people from the Bracken family in Stonehedge City, more than 1,500 people from the Mallister family in Seaside City, and a thousand people from the Vance family in Alan City.
Many people, more than a thousand people from the Legg family in Willow City...
All the earls and nobles above in the Riverlands, except for the Frey family of the Twins who continue to sit on the wall and watch, and Mouton of Maidenpool in the east who couldn't get there because the road was too far, and the He'an family really didn't have the strength to get there.
All arrived.
As for the viscounties, baronies, landed knights, etc., there were countless others, and they all gathered near Riverrun according to Edmure's orders.
Currently, between 25,000 and 30,000 troops have gathered near Riverrun, the gateway to the west of the Riverlands, leaving the east side of the Red Fork River basically empty.
So Lord Tywin saw the opportunity and sent a small force of more than a hundred people led by the Mountain to harass and plunder the area east of the river, so that these nobles would rush back to their territory and disperse Riverrun's forces.
This made farmers throughout the Riverlands panic and didn't know what to do.
In King's Landing, Robert goes hunting in the Kingswood. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be seriously injured by the wild boar's charge according to the procedure, and then die.
Lord Eddard was powerless. He only brought fifty people to King's Landing and could not influence the disputes between the Riverlands and the Westerlands at all.
In the rest of the valley and the river bend, there was not much movement, and the nobles were preparing to watch the show.
After receiving Arthur's reward of a silver deer, the boy in the hotel said:
"I dare say that the Magic Mountain has reached the vicinity of God's Eye Lake."
The God's Eye Lake is the largest lake in Westeros, and its area is far larger than ordinary people imagine.
According to Arthur's experience, only the legendary Yunmengze in Asia and Wudalian Lake in North America can compare with it.
Whether the Magic Mountain is on the east or west side of Shenyan Lake is a big question. If you go wrong, a week or so will be wasted.
So Arthur shouted at the diners in the store: "A silver deer brings news. Who else knows the accurate news about the Magic Mountain?"
Under the charm of money, many people who are not good at talking immediately start to talk.
"Sir, I am a member of the Legg family in Willow City. The Magic Mountain appeared in our territory five days ago and burned four or five villages. Hundreds of people, men, women, children, and the elderly, were all killed by them. He died, and not a single piece of the copper plate was left."
"I'm from Aram City. The Demon Mountain ransacked my village two days ago. None of my relatives or friends escaped. I think it's already..."
This person started crying before he finished speaking.
Some people from other places angrily shouted after hearing this: "What are the nobles of the Riverlands doing? They only have the responsibility to protect the people in the territory, don't they want to fulfill it?"
"This Lord Bracken, I am from the Pink City. The Magic Mountain was there nine days ago."
"God damn the Mountain, how did the dispute between the Lannister family and the Starks harm us commoners?"
Everyone began to tell stories, and many of them were victims.
From their words, Arthur gradually described the trajectory of the Magic Mountain.
He set out from Tywin's own army in Horned Valley City and entered the Riverlands along the valley of the Red Fork River. After passing through the territory of Pink City to the north, he then went south to bring disaster to the two earls of Willow City and Alan City.
Then the Magic Mountain went around the south side of Divine Eye Lake and towards the east side of Divine Eye Lake.
After throwing more than a dozen silver deer to the group of people, Arthur nodded and said:
"Very good, your information is very useful. I'm going to hunt down the Magic Mountain. You can also help me spread the word that Arthur Bracken, the lord of Moulin Rouge, will protect all civilians who come to his territory."
Then, he led people out of the hotel and summoned all the important people in the motorcade.
"Dickon, help take the convoy straight north to my territory, Moulin Rouge. My servant Maydan will lead the way. The one hundred and sixty-one people recruited from the Reach will be under your jurisdiction. When you arrive, use all your strength. Training new recruits.”
"An Gai, you also follow Dickon north and take your thirteen spearmen with you. When you arrive in my territory, you will be responsible for training the archers, and the spearmen will be responsible for training the newly recruited militiamen to practice their spears."
"Wage, you select thirty or forty elite players from the Blood Troupe. We will go to the east of Shenyan Lake to do something. The remaining members of the Blood Troupe will form a team of three or four people and go north of the Blackwater River and beyond the Red Fork River. All the Riverlands countryside in the south, showing them that Arthur of Moulin Rouge will protect them, allows the farmers to move north as quickly as possible."
Since most of the members of the Blood Troupe have horses, Arthur sends them on a mission to promote himself.
When the time comes to gather the hundreds of thousands of refugees in the Hedong area, Arthur's strength will expand greatly.
You must know that in 192 AD, Cao Cao captured the ownerless Yanzhou and accepted the surrender of 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and millions of refugees, and then he stood out from many warlords and became the dominant force in the Central Plains.
"The war is about to break out, and everyone must carry out my orders to the letter. Now, let's get started."
Varg and Dickon didn't have any objections. One was paid to do things, while the other was immersed in the novelty of running away from home.
Ange and the thirteen Dornish spearmen did make some changes.
They all walked up to Arthur and knelt down on one knee.
"Sir, the Mountain has killed our Dornish princess Elia Martell and her children. This is a shame to all of us Dornish people. We pray that we will follow you to attack the Mountain and pay tribute to those who died tragically.
The princess and her children take revenge."
At the end of the Usurper's War fifteen years ago, Tywin led his army to capture King's Landing. In order to give Robert the rebel leader a certificate of surrender, he asked the Mountain to kill Prince Rhaegar's wife and the princess of Dorne, Iris.
Leah.
Arthur didn't expect this.
After pondering for a moment, he made a decision:
"Then you fourteen follow me. The Mountain has committed an unforgivable sin. I will definitely give justice to Elia, her children, and hundreds of riverland farmers."
"Man is doing it, and the gods in the sky are watching. I will deliver the retribution of his magic mountain into his hands."
Without any further problems, Dickon led his team north, while the remaining members of the Blood Troupe went to recruit refugees for Arthur, while the core and the Dornishmen followed Arthur eastward.
After four days of chasing along the burned villages and information about the fleeing refugees, Arthur and the others finally caught up with the Mountain and his men.
