If you want to take back Darkport City, you can only raise your troops from Storm's End and march along the famous bone road from Summer Hall to Darkport City.
Slowness will lead to change, you must start immediately!
Linn returned directly to Storm's End, made some repairs, and then immediately set off for Summer Hall.
Summer Hall was built to commemorate the peaceful surrender of Dorne. King Daeron II built a castle on the Stormland side of the Borderlands.
The nature of the palace itself is much greater than that of the castle, so it is said that it was extremely gorgeous and comfortable. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by Aegon V.
Because this famous king believed that drinking wildfire would resurrect the dragon, he held a ceremony here in the Summer Hall. As a result, a fire broke out and the Summer Hall was destroyed! Seven dragon eggs were burned at the same time.
That same night, Rhaegar Targaryen was born!
Lynn's current cavalry number is nearly 3,000, including 500 heavy cavalry. They set off from Storm's End and walked straight to Summer Hall along the King's Road. The sound of horse hooves was loud all the way, and naturally they could not be hidden from anyone who was interested.
When their cavalry arrived at the Midsummer Hall, the steward of Black Harbor City knelt at the door holding a letter of surrender to greet them!
Lin En accepted the letter of surrender with some doubts. After carefully questioning the manager, he found that there was no heir in Black Harbor City!
It can be said that the Dondarrion family exists in name only. Linn rushed forward with the power of destroying nearly ten cities in a row. He was so frightened that the general manager of Blackport City surrendered directly. After all, even the city owner was gone, so resistance was meaningless!
Lin frowned and thought for a long time. She always felt that she had heard of this name somewhere.
A thought flashed through my mind,
"Fuck, Erya!"
I remembered! Isn't it the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners that he met with Arya when he first woke up?
"I wonder how Erya is doing?"
I originally wanted to look for it last time, but Little Rose just happened to find it, and then there was a continuous war, which delayed it.
That little girl Arya, her father and mother are dead, and her brother is also dead. I heard that Winterfell was burned to the ground, and now she has no friends. She is worried about leaving her alone!
Wait a moment and pick her up after the storm land is temporarily stable. There are too many people here who want her dead. Although they can't do anything about them, they can't guarantee that they won't pay attention to their relatives.
It seems that an intelligence organization will be added to the future plan!
Under the leadership of the Governor of Darkport City, Lin En and thousands of cavalry rumbled into Darkport City, replacing the purple lightning flag on the city gate with the Iron Fist flag of Storm's End, officially bringing Darkport City under its jurisdiction.
.
For the sake of the general manager's merit in presenting the city, he agreed to take charge of it temporarily, mainly because he really had no officials to use!
It depends on the message from Blackport City, which saves Lin En a lot of time and gives him more time to sort out the cities in the Storm Land that he has just recovered.
The first is to send almost all the Unsullied in hand to various cities, one is to stabilize the situation, and the other is to recruit troops for training.
Lin En provided funds to use the Unsullied to train the infantry, believing that after a period of training, even if they did not reach the level of the Unsullied, they would still be considered well-trained.
At the same time, the cavalry began to be trained. Whether it was horses, armor, weapons or injuries during training, this unit was inherently expensive, especially the heavy cavalry! It was a gold-swallowing beast. Fortunately, I borrowed a thousand sets of armor from High Court.
Save a lot of expenses and still be able to make ends meet.
The most important thing again was to expand the school. In order to make up for the shortage of officials as soon as possible, Lin En did not hesitate to allocate part of the already tight funds for the construction of the school.
After doing this, time will soon enter summer,
Barley, oats and other grains are growing well on the land around Storm's End, especially the newly reclaimed land. The soil is fertile and the crops are all fruitful. They will be harvested in two months.
According to the bachelor, this year should be a good harvest year. It seems that although the long summer is over, the impact of the long winter has not officially begun.
And it's not just around Storm's End. With the implementation of land policies throughout the Stormlands, a large amount of land has been distributed to civilians. The land for planting one's own family and the land for planting the employer's land vary greatly in enthusiasm and seriousness.
With intensive farming, it should not be a big problem if the output increases by 10% compared to previous years.
Now there is a new problem for Lynn, the population is too small!
There is even a lot of vacant land in the rainforest land. The vacant land created by the fire was very suitable for farming, but very few people actually grew food because there were not enough people to farm it!
Originally, the population of the Stormlands was the smallest among the Seven Kingdoms except Dorne. It was much smaller than the cold North.
The number of troops that can be mobilized during the Northern War is more than 40,000, but the Storm Land only has 20,000.
The reason why Dorne has so few people is that most of the area is a desert, and the only lifeblood of the city, the Greenblood River, is scattered here and there. It really cannot support an excessive population.
However, there were few people in the storm, and it seemed to Linn that he was not looking in the right direction.
Although the Storm Land is said to be windy, it has both plains and forests. As long as it can be developed, it will not be a problem to triple the population. To this end, Linn began to have people walking around the seven countries to spread the news.
"As long as you come to the storm land, you need land to plant and food to eat!"
"Duke Linn will rent the land to you at a very low rent. If the land is cultivated by himself, it can even be passed on to future generations!"
This is not a rumor, but a policy that is actually implemented!
Although the policy is attractive, the wars in various places have just calmed down, sporadic fighting is still continuing, and it is not easy for people to migrate long distances, so the effect will not be seen in a short period of time.
Because of the lack of population, Linn even had to postpone his plan to build roads. The remedy was to buy slaves.
But the ships from Slaver's Bay told him that there was a war going on throughout Slaver's Bay. A Targaryen riding a dragon was waging a war to free the slaves.
In addition to these, there is also good news, that is, there are now 600 students in the school.
They are divided into four classes according to their learning progress. When the rainforest was first recovered some time ago, they even tried to encourage others by transferring some students away. This will never happen again.
The last thing these students learn is how to become officials and implement Lin En's will!
In short, everything in Stormland is turning according to Linn's will, and it is getting better and better!
"It's time to pick up Arya! Let me see where this little girl has gone!"
Linn carefully felt the location of the necklace he had given to Arya. After a while, he frowned.
"found it!"
"Why is it so far away? To the other side of the Narrow Sea? Judging from the location, it should be Braavos?"
