Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

The Tyrell family's enclave on the shores of the Dorne Sea and on the south side of the Crimson Mountains came to be inexplicably. It was as if it was forced into someone's hands, and they were neither willing to give it up nor able to take care of it.

This land is located in the corner between Weir City in Dorne, Blackport in Stormland, and Stonehelm City. It is called Red Earth Watch. Except for a piece of land near the sea, other places in this area are difficult to cultivate. Mountainous areas.

This land originally belonged to the Shadi family of the Stormlands. This was a small noble with a very ancient heritage. It perished during the time of Aegon the Conqueror. However, this territory was neither returned to the king's territory nor returned to the Stormlands. Instead, it was transferred to the Tyrell family by Aegon the Conqueror and became the fiefdom of the Tyrell family.

Over the past few hundred years, the Tyrell family has tried to develop this fiefdom many times, but all failed in the end. In addition to the fact that this fiefdom is somewhat barren and does not have much development value, more importantly, this land is separated by gaps. Dorne is the most chaotic frontier in the entire Westeros continent.

Not to mention the perennial disputes between Dorne and the lords of the Stormlands, the barbarian tribes entrenched in the Crimson Mountains alone are already extremely troublesome.

The barbarian tribes in the Crimson Mountains are completely different from the barbarian tribes around Tengshi Town. Because they have been at war with the lords and nobles of the Stormlands, the Reach and Dorne all year round, these barbarian tribes are extremely good at fighting and can fight head-on with the armies of those lords and nobles. Without falling behind.

Moreover, the savage tribes in the Crimson Mountains seemed to have established their own tribal system imitating the system of lords and nobles. These savage tribes even elected a savage king.

Although the lords and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms sneered at the rumors of the Savage King, believing that the Savages were just some brainless guys and that it was impossible to produce a Savage King, a bachelor who specialized in studying the Savage Tribe of the Crimson Mountains recorded the election of the Savage King. The process looks a lot like the legendary Iron Islands King Selection.

This is all the information about the enclave that Lind could find in Highgarden. It can be seen that the Tyrell family does not care about that enclave. The last time they tried to develop that enclave was more than two hundred years ago. Years ago, Dorne had not yet surrendered to the Iron Throne.

The current situation in the enclave is also very complicated. The city of Weir in Dorne occupies a piece of land on the other side of the Weir River, Blackport occupies a piece of mountainous land, and Stonehelm City also occupies a piece of land on the west bank of the Redguard River, and Stonehelm City The Shiwen family also claimed that they were the owners of Hong Tuwang.

In short, although the Tyrell family is the owner of the enclave in name, in fact, the Tyrell family only has a small piece of land in their hands, and there is only a simple building on that piece of land. Just a fishing village.

Although this land is poor, for Linde, it is a land that is very suitable for him.

First of all, this land is large enough. According to legal basis, the huge triangle area between the Bone Road, the Redguard River, the Weir River and the Dorne River all belongs to the Tyrell family. Such a large piece of land far exceeds that of the average earl. collar.

Although most of this land is mountainous land that cannot be farmed, there is also some land suitable for farming. For example, the Hongwei River Valley in the upper reaches of the Hongwei River is a very fertile land, just because there are a large number of savage tribes here. It just can't be developed.

Secondly, the location of this land is very good. It is at the junction of Dorne and the Stormlands, not far from the River Bend. There is a bone road on the northwest side that can be used as a trade route, and the side facing the Dorne Sea can also be used to build a port. , develop trade and fishing industries.

Finally, there is the savage tribe. To others, the savage tribe entrenched in this land is synonymous with trouble, but for Linde, these savage tribes are the best population.

He believes that his own strength is enough to bring all the savage tribes in this area under his control. When the time comes, he will not need to look for immigrants from other places. The huge population of the savage tribes alone will be enough to make up for the gap in his human resources.

The only thing that will cause him trouble is the encroachment of the land by Weir City, Blackport and Stonehelm City. After so many years of development, they have built villages on the occupied land, and they will definitely not be willing to use it. Spit out the fat in your mouth, and war will be inevitable.

However, war may be a good thing for Linde. It will not only bring him fame, but also bring him wealth. Of course, the premise is that he can win the final victory.

Linde did not stay in Highgarden any longer. After understanding the general situation of the enclave mentioned by Vilas from Highgarden's collection, he left Highgarden and returned to Tengshi Town according to the original plan.

At this moment, everyone in Highgarden was immersed in the marriage between Dorne and the Reach. Except for a few people, no one paid much attention to Lind's departure.

When they came to Highgarden, there were only two people, Lynde and Jon. But now when they returned to Tengshi Town, they had turned into a large team of more than fifty knights, hundreds of soldiers and a herd of horses. Among the team, especially the The two huge mustangs King and Glory are the most eye-catching.

Everyone you met on the road, whether they knew how to recognize the family flag or not, could recognize Linde the moment they saw Glory.

During this time in Dorne, the news that Oldtown was attacked by the Ironborn had spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and this incident caused quite a stir in the Seven Kingdoms.

Both the Starry Cathedral and the Academy in Old Town have a very special status in the Seven Kingdoms. Although the Ironborn did not affect the Academy this time, they attacked the Starry Cathedral. This is undoubtedly a provocation to the entire Church of the Seven Gods. .

Therefore, the Church of the Seven Gods took the lead and banned all believers of the Church of the Seven Gods from conducting commercial transactions with the Iron Islands.

This prohibition order will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the Iron Islands. Although the Iron People of the Iron Islands are pirates, it does not mean that they only rely on pirates to support themselves. Being pirates and robbing is just a custom for them.

The land in the Iron Islands is barren, and there is not much land that can be cultivated. Most of the iron people in the Iron Islands make a living by fishing and selling fish. Wheat and other food need to be purchased from outside. Now the prohibition order of the Church of the Seven Gods has made The Iron Islands can no longer purchase enough food from outside, which will undoubtedly plunge the Iron Islands into a food shortage.

Afterwards, the Dukes and Princes of the Seven Kingdoms also condemned the Iron People of the Iron Islands and blocked the coastline, allowing the subjects under their rule to attack the ships and Iron People of the Iron Islands without any punishment. This was even implemented in the North. This isolation order undoubtedly completely isolated the Iron Islands from the continent of Westeros.

Under normal circumstances, Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands should make some excuses to the Iron Throne, find some reasons to explain, and then throw out a few scapegoats to confuse the matter and give everyone a step to go down. , slowly calm down the negative impact caused by this incident.

However, what is puzzling is that the Iron Islands are extremely quiet. It is as quiet as if they are not aware of the isolation order of the Seven Kingdoms and the prohibition order of the Church of the Seven Gods. This makes the dignitaries of the Seven Kingdoms feel that something is wrong. , all secretly increased their attention to the Iron Islands.

There is another matter that, like the Iron Islands, has attracted the attention of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. Not only the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, but also the common people at the bottom are paying attention to this matter. This matter is that Lind met in Old Town. Miraculous performance during Ironborn attack.

In order to protect Lord Willas Tyrell who was performing a prayer ceremony in the Starry Temple, Lynde Terra blocked the attack of more than 700 ironborn with one person, and all the incoming enemies were killed in the Starry Temple. In the square in front of the church.

When everyone heard the content of the Ironborn invasion of Old Town, they felt incredible. In their opinion, this story was a bit too fabricated and had no authenticity at all.

It is an exaggeration to hold off the siege of ten people with one person. According to rumors, Linde held off the siege of more than 700 people with one person, and even killed more than 700 people. This kind of thing No matter how you look at it, it feels so fake, so fake that even a fool can tell it apart.

They believed that the real situation should be that Lind led hundreds of soldiers and knights of the Tyrell family to withstand the siege of the Ironborn and killed more than 700 Ironborn in the square of the Starry Temple.

And they felt that the reason why there were those false rumors was that the Tyrell family wanted to build momentum for the knights under their family and deliberately attributed all the records of others to Lind alone. As for why Tilly There are different opinions on whether the Er family wants to build momentum for a knight, and there is no unified answer. The only thing that is certain is that it will also be good for the Tyrell family.

However, this doubt about Linde's record of killing seven hundred ironmen soon changed with the sealing letter announced by the Temple of Stars.

In the letter of conferment, the Archbishop of the Starry Cathedral gave Linde the title of "Warrior Blessed" on behalf of the Seven Gods, and wrote in detail Linde's record of killing more than 700 ironmen in front of the Starry Cathedral. It was mentioned in the book of conferment that the reason why he had such miraculous achievements was entirely because his loyalty to his master won the appreciation of the warriors, who gave him blessings and gave him inhuman strength, and finally achieved this feat. A miraculous achievement.

The square in front of the Starry Cathedral became a holy place because of this miracle, and the name of the square was even changed to Warrior Square. The statue of the warrior among the seven gods was placed independently in the center of the square.

At the same time that the Starry Cathedral announced the book of sealing, Baelor Cathedral in King's Landing also recognized the book of sealing and recorded this miraculous event in the book of miracles.

It would be fine if only the Church of the Seven Gods recognized Lind's record of killing more than 700 Ironborn. Immediately after the Church of the Seven Gods sealed the book, the academicians from the city also wrote about the attack on Old Town in the Seventh Church. In the chronicles of the Great Kingdom, the authenticity of Linde's achievements was clearly recorded.

The Chronicle of the Seven Kingdoms in the Citadel can be said to be the most rigorous historical record in the entire continent of Westeros. The cruel Maegor threatened to destroy the Citadel and asked the Citadel to modify the content of the chronicle, but the Citadel directly refused. .

Later, when recording the cause of Maegor's death, the Citadel did not record it randomly. Instead, after a detailed investigation and no confirmed cause of death was found, it recorded all the causes of death rumored by the outside world and concluded that the cause of death was a mystery. , rather than randomly attaching a cause of death to it.

There have been countless similar things in the past, so there is a widely circulated saying in the Seven Kingdoms. The content of the saying is that everything in the Seven Kingdoms is false, and only the chronicles of the Academy are true.

Nowadays, the chronicles of the academy have recorded that Linde did kill more than 700 Ironborn with one person, so this achievement, which everyone thinks is extremely false, is actually true.

Subsequently, various evidences came out, such as the duel in Old Town with one against a hundred. Garth Hightower, who participated in the duel, admitted the authenticity of the duel more than once in public. Everyone who saw it Anyone who has passed that duel is proof of Linde's miraculous fighting power.

People no longer doubted Linde's achievements, but instead worshiped Linde immensely. Among them, the mercenary knights and mercenary warriors worshiped Linde most strongly and regarded him as a spiritual idol, while the Seven Gods believers He was even called the Chosen One, thinking that he was the incarnation of the Chosen Warrior. Therefore, Linde's original title of Bear Hunter was gradually replaced by the Chosen One.

When he was in Dorne, Linde was not very obvious because he was mixed in with the big team. Now that Linde has returned to Tengshi Town, he is leading the march alone. People on the road can easily recognize him and then show him His attitude made him feel like some big star in his previous life met his fans at the airport.

Ordinary people chanted his new name enthusiastically, and even prayed to him, treating him as the incarnation of the Seven Gods in the world. After seeing him, the mercenary knights and mercenary warriors even took the initiative to ask to follow him. , even if he was rejected, he would not leave.

In this way, they followed Linde's team, and the number of people increased. By the time they reached Kuqiao, there were more than 600 mercenary knights and mercenary warriors following Linde. De's original troops looked like a well-organized army, which almost made Baron Bitterbridge mistakenly think that Lind was preparing to attack him and closed the castle gate tightly.

Linde was completely happy to see these spontaneously organized followers succeed. Although he rejected these people when they took the initiative to seek refuge, he did not give up on these people because of this, otherwise, he would not have set up camp. Provide food for these people.

When he arrived at Tengshi Town, he planned to ask Nymeria to recruit these people into Tengshi Town's garrison in the name of Tengshi Town.

This wasn't because he wanted to take a detour on purpose, but because he didn't want to be caught.

Although Villas has told him that he will soon be granted the position of commander of the Southern Bandit Suppression, and will be given higher authority and more recruitment quotas, these have not yet been implemented. If he starts to expand his manpower now , recruiting mercenary knights and mercenary warriors, then they will inevitably be accused of exceeding their authority and use this to attack them.

For Linde, there is no need to rush to expand his manpower. There is already a road paved in front of him. He just needs to move steadily and make no mistakes, especially now when everyone from the Seven Kingdoms is watching. , you need to be more cautious in every move you make, and don’t leave anything to say to others.

Therefore, until he returned to Tengshi Town, Linde did not accept the allegiance of any knight who took the initiative to join him.
