Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 75 Frey’s treatment

The sobbing drums finally stopped, and the sound of fighting disappeared. The gate of the East Fort was completely reduced to ashes, leaving only the iron-lined part stained with black ash and remaining in place.

Yohn Royce led Robert and Linn out of the castle, their faces covered in dust, but it could not cover up the joy in their hearts at all, and the big smiles on their faces could not stop for a moment.

"Duke Attis, we have captured both the east and west castles of Twins City. Frey and his family are in the Seven Hells. It is really difficult to distinguish between men and women. I have sent people to guard them strictly and no one is allowed to get close." John said.

Linn Corbray dusted off his cloth clothes. In order to facilitate the movement by boat, he did not choose to wear heavy armor. "There are so many, it's like getting into a heap of weasels."

"Hahahahaha!" Lynn's metaphor immediately made Yon and Robert laugh. Attis also smiled. The victory was hard-won.

"Where is that young man from Grafson?" Jon asked his son Robert.

"Ser Jon should be counting the Frey family's property. I saw that he went straight to Maester Bennett who serves the Twins, holding a ledger in his hand. I guess it is a huge sum of money." Robert replied.

"Let's go to the city first. We'll talk about it later. There's a victory waiting for us to celebrate." Lin En said eagerly. He thought of a red-haired boy in the city and felt restless in his heart.

Attis nodded, and the heavy cavalry of the Arryn Guards behind him were guarding him. The city gate was in ruins, and the corpses were being cleared by the valley soldiers to the flat ground outside the city, ready to be burned with fire as always.

"Pay attention to distinguishing the Frey family members and bury them when the time comes." John ordered Robert, who nodded.

Attis rode into the Twins City, and the soldiers who were cleaning the blood at the city gate immediately discovered his duke.

He stood up excitedly, "For Attis Arryn!"

The soldiers stopped what they were doing, "For Attis Arryn!"

The sound was overwhelming, and the gloom that enveloped the Twins at dawn seemed to be crawling under this cry, like the wings of an eagle in the valley.

Attis took his hand out of his blue cloak, picked up his sword and waved it in front of the soldiers, "For the valley!"

"For the Valley!"

The soldier drew his sword, and behind him, John, Robert, and Lynn Corbray also drew their swords and shouted together.

"Where are all the Freys?" Attis asked John after walking into the main hall.

Jon looked at Lynn Corbray, who said to Artis: "Old Walder was locked in a dark room by me. The main people in the East Castle are the sons of Old Frey's eldest son, Steveron. They were placed in the dungeon of their home. Damn it, there are so many people, women and children, but I don’t care about them, I just keep strict guard on them.”

"Out of politeness, I invite the respected Marquis Walder to come over and calm him down." Attis said.

Linn nodded in agreement and left immediately.

The main hall of the Twins City exudes luxury. The small windows are covered with soft purple gauze. The wine glasses on the long table are inlaid with gold thread. What is even more shocking is that the long stone table is carved with a whole picture of Westeros. The map, from the land of eternal winter to the sea of ​​summer, is as lifelike as if the world is at your fingertips.

Artis sat at the main table where Old Ward usually sat, with soft cushions underneath, making it very comfortable to lie on.

An Gai poured a glass of wine, handed it to Attis' table, and stood aside.

"Did you follow Count Yohn and kill the enemy on the battlefield?" Attis asked.

An Gai smiled at him and pointed to the dagger on his waist, "This one pierced the throats of two people." Then he shrugged and showed his long bow, "The bow and arrow hit eight people's heads. "

Attis smiled and said, "Beautiful, sooner or later I will personally canonize you as a knight. Ange, on the giant's gun, I will canonize you as a canyon knight."

An Gai was stunned. He knew what this meant, and his heart couldn't help but be touched, and a look of joy filled his face.

Violent footsteps came from the door. Old Walder staggered from the door and fell to the floor of the main hall. He looked up in embarrassment and looked at Attis, whom he had been looking forward to meeting before. Erin.

"Attis Arryn, I..." Old Walder looked at Attis on the main seat, breathing heavily, and pointed his finger at Attis.

Attis stood up, walked down from the main seat, and said: "Marquis Frey, you are frightened. I didn't expect the mercenaries under you to be so disrespectful of honor and betray you so easily. The Canyon Knight is the chosen one of the Seven Gods." , I will not let this kind of disregard for the gods happen, so I have to deal with the mercenaries for you."

"You..." Old Walder's eyes widened and he was speechless.

"It's a pity that mercenaries are very cruel. Many of your family members have been brutally murdered. Don't worry. King Robert asked me to punish the criminals. I think there is a high probability that it will be this group of mercenaries. Marquis, you should also pay attention to using the golden dragon." The bought heart is destined to have no price tag of loyalty.”

"Seven levels...seven levels of hell." Old Walder gasped. "It is indeed seven levels of hell. The beautiful Twin River City was ruined by traitors. This group of mercenaries must be the source of the Green Fork River banditry. But what is strange is, why did they accept your employment?" Attis He knelt down and looked at Old Walder.

"Nonsense...it's obviously you..." Old Walder shook his head and looked at Attis in disbelief.

"Yes, it's me. I helped you clear up the relationship with the bandits. The mercenaries deceived the Frey family's trust. If it weren't for the help of the valley, I'm afraid the Twins City would be owned by a group of thugs," Attis picked up the wine glass. , handed it to Old Walder's mouth, "You must be grateful to me, Marquis."

"You must have been poisoned in this place!" Old Walder said.

Attis drank it all in one gulp, "I need a souvenir to send to King's Landing. There are many bandits and they are rioting in the northern part of the Riverlands. Many bandits have fled to many territories of the northern princes in the Riverlands. The Frey family has been betrayed by the bandits." Thorn, suffered heavy losses, please ask the valley army to help suppress the bandits."

Old Walder listened to Attis's statement in a daze, and looked at Attis's face as he sipped his wine slightly, his lips trembling, and his forehead resting on the ground, "Yes, the Frey family is begging the Valley to help suppress the bandits... "

Linn saw Artis nodding slightly, then picked up Old Walder and walked out of the main hall.

"How to arrange the arrangements for so many people in the Frey family?" Jon frowned and asked Attis.

Attis rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "We need an obedient Frey, and he must be higher up in the succession."

"Stefren died in his room, and his eldest son Lyman was imprisoned in the dungeon of the East Castle. Lyman's sons, Edwin and Black Wald, died in the rebellion, and there was another one with you. About the same age as Petyr Frey," Yohn Royce said. "Our grudge dispute with Tully involves these Freys. To be honest, ahem..."

Attis noticed Yon's uneasiness, but he didn't say anything and just chose to continue listening.

"We must protect this young man's minimum noble honor." Yon said.

Attis nodded, sighing slightly in his heart. He found a hint of Ed in Bronze Yohn.

"Protect Frey's family, select Frey's children with the highest succession, and send them to the Eagle's Nest City," Attis said.

Yon nodded, "This is the most appropriate solution at present."

"The army should rest after a night of fighting. There are still many battles to be fought in the future," Attis said.

"Okay," said Jon, "I have the army in good shape and ready to go."

"Tell Jon Grafson to keep the golden dragon in Twins City, and I will ask Nestor's people to come and claim it. This money is really hard-earned for the valley." Attis closed his eyes slightly, although he He wasn't involved in the battle, but fatigue still came to him and he needed to rest.

Angei put away the armor and sword on Attis, handed them to the soldiers on the side, and gave instructions on the route. Attis arrived at a bedroom in the East Fort.

A wooden barrel was prepared in the bedroom, and the hot water was ready. Attis got into the wooden barrel and closed his eyes to rest.

……

"These damn mercenaries!" Robert cursed angrily. "Everyone in this group of mercenaries behaves badly, especially the one with the red nose. He almost climbed into a girl's bed. Damn it, that girl I haven’t experienced menarche yet! Damn it! These mercenaries!”

Lynn Corbray took a few sips of fruit wine and said nonchalantly: "A battle has just ended. All the soldiers in the valley need to vent, let alone those mercenaries who only care about money?"

"That is not in line with the spirit of chivalry, Lynn, you are a knight of the valley." Robert was quite dissatisfied. The tradition of the Royce family requires them to pay attention to honor.

"Canyon Knights are also human beings. Do you see how many Canyon Knights have gone to the towns of West Fort to have fun? Are you willing to stay here as a soldier?" Linn's mouth smelled of alcohol, "If it weren't for the noble lady, they wouldn't If you dare to touch it, you are afraid that if you touch it, you will be happy for a while, but it will be ruined for the rest of your life."

"It is natural for the people of the valley to obey the orders of Duke Attis." Robert said, he did not agree with Linn's words.

"Yes, yes..." Lynn Corbray said impatiently, "I also have to find happiness. You can take care of the mercenaries. Instead of seeing the mercenaries upset, it's better to send the golden dragon and tell them to go away. I think That kid Jon Grafson is doing this. You fight well, but the aftermath is not as good as that kid Grafson."

"Besides," Linn smiled and held up the wine glass, "it may not be that the Duke does not need a woman's comfort. God, the Valley Eagle is still young!"

Robert frowned angrily, but he didn't know how to retort. He just stood up and said to Linn: "Sir Jon may not be able to control those damn mercenaries. I'm going to help."

"That's right!" Linn gave him a thumbs up, "We can't let the Duke handle everything, can we?"

Robert ignored him and left.
