Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 156 The Competition between Eagle and Wolf (9)

Brynden Tully pursed his lips and looked at Robb Stark with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Uncle, you did this." Robb Stark looked at Blackfish in disbelief, shaking his head, "I thought you were my mother's uncle, I"

"I am your mother's uncle, so I want to save your mother and you," Brynden Tully's tone was very cold, and he looked at the young King of the North in front of him with a straight face, "Back to you In the north, guard the Neck and be optimistic about White Harbor, this is your best choice."

Brynden Tully pointed at the map, "I have been in contact with Jason Mallister for a long time. His seaside city is suitable for ships to dock. Didn't that Greyjoy boy return to the Iron Islands? Let him take him You go back." He approached Robb Stark and put his hands on his shoulders. "You are invincible. No one will doubt that you led the army north to defeat the defenders of Seaside City, including Yorn Royce. Attis Arryn, listen to me, boy, this is your best choice."

"My mother, Arya is in the Eyrie, and Sansa is still in King's Landing. I can't leave so early," Robb frowned and said to Brynden Tully.

Blackfish raised the corners of his mouth angrily, as if mocking, "Do you still remember why you went south? Do you still remember? You should avenge your father, and in order to save your sister Sansa, you should abide by your covenant with the valley and not fight with That girl goes to bed, just like your father!" His hands were like red-hot iron hands welded tightly to Robb's shoulders, very hard.

"My father also slept with another girl, and he had an illegitimate child!" Robb shouted loudly. It seemed that anyone who mentioned his father would make the young King in the North shout, " Jon Snow! He is my brother, I can't let Jeyne's child. My father also has a bastard son in the south, he..."

"But your father still adhered to the engagement and married your mother." Brynden Tully looked at the young wolf master who was gradually losing his mind and said with a sigh.

"Listen, boy," Brynden Tully looked at Robb Stark, who had a dazed look in his eyes. The boy's immature face seemed to have endured a lot, but his tone was still firm, "This condition... S. Arryn may not agree, but Riverrun can continue to negotiate with him, but you, you have enmity with Runestone City, which is only under the Eagle's Nest in the Vale. No one in the Vale will let you go. Run! This It’s my last bit of help for Kate’s son.”

"Sansa," Robb murmured.

"Bend your knees, take kneeling as a condition, don't call yourself king. At that time, calling you King of the North was just like playing house. It was too childish. Give up this throne and kneel to the Iron Throne on behalf of the North." Brynden Tuo Leigh took a deep breath and said to Robb.

"The King in the North will not bend the knee," Daisy Mormont came from the side, "Robb, you have to think clearly, if you become king and then bend the knee, Stark will lose thousands of years of prestige. , the Iron Throne is not like Torrhen Stark’s time, they don’t have dragons.”

"Blackfish" Brynden Tully was about to retort, but Daisy said in advance: "Lord Brynden, do you really think Attis Arryn will accept your terms?"

"Of course not, I will continue to satisfy him." Brynden frowned, but his words were interrupted by the Mormont woman.

"You can't satisfy him, Brynden Tully," Daisy Mormont's eyes were full of indifference and calmness, "Thirty thousand Vale troops came out of the Blood Gate. Do you think his target is really Robb?" ?"

Brynden looked at Daisy Mormont and hesitated slightly, "If it's not Robb, it could be someone else." His pupils shrank slightly and he swallowed, "What do you mean?"

"Your conditions and your words to persuade Bronze Yohn are still useful to the rigid and traditional Yohn Royce, but Attis Arryn," Daisy's eyes became sharp, "there is no way that she can impress him. He, can't Lannister give these conditions? Can't the Iron Throne give it? They can give more than you and more than Riverrun."

"Besides," Daisy Mormont approached Brynden Tully, who even took a half step back. Mormont's women have a kind of intimidating power, "who cares about the conditions put forward by the losing side? ?"   Silence began to spread after these words were spoken. Brynden "Blackfish" Tully pursed his lips tightly and stared at Daisy Mormont.

"Integrate all your strength," Daisy Mormont took a deep breath, "prepare to fortify the wall and clear the country, and fight to the death with the Eagle's Nest City. Either you will live to death, or like Frey, you will lose the castle for no apparent reason. Death in vain.”

Brynden Tully's tense body suddenly relaxed, and a bitter smile hung on his lips. He slowly leaned against the wall, and his body sank to the ground.

"Robb," Brynden closed his eyes, "This girl is by your side, why don't you ask more?" His tone was full of disappointment and helplessness, while Robb stood there blankly, at a loss. , "So, there is no other way?"

No one answered him, the answer was in the air, everyone breathed it, everyone understood it.

The stars hung in the night sky of Riverrun. Daisy Mormont left the room, leaving Robb Stark alone, and came to the city alone.

Willis Manderly stood at the top of the city, his fat body leaning between the battlements, even with a kind of elasticity.

"Did you talk to Brynden Tully?" Willis asked when he saw Daisy Mormont coming.

Daisy nodded, "Said," she put her hands on the battlements, "He seems to be convinced."

Willis Manderly nodded and said helplessly: "Father's letter has not been sent yet, and no one knows the situation in the north."

Daisy Mormont shrugged, "Roose Bolton's ten thousand foot soldiers are alone. I think they are in danger."

Willis snorted coldly, "I think Lord Bolton has already thought of a way out. I don't believe in the character of the Skinned Man." He moved his body with some difficulty, "I should go to the military camp. Lord Karstark is working hard." He needs my help to calm the panicked army.”

"You came up with these, why didn't you tell His Majesty personally?" Daisy Mormont looked at Willis and asked.

Willis chuckled twice, "Our King trusts you more, Daisy Mormont," he walked towards the city, "rather than the fat man from the Manderly family."

Meteors fell from the night sky, only dazzling for a moment, but soon passed away. Daisy Mormont looked at the stars. She, Stark, and the North had no way out. Maybe, maybe the Greyjoy boys, maybe Theon would find ways to help them return to the North. But this is only a very unsafe retreat. The running wolf is attacked by the griffin and the lion, and the sea monster may not be able to help at this time.

The raven comes from the north, carrying black news, deadly as poison.
