Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 98 The Eagle Returns to its Nest

The attendant closed the door behind him, and his eyes fell on the sluggish Lady Catelyn.

The door was covered with a carpet with bright golden edges, which matched the luxurious style of the interior decoration of Twin River City. Caitlin stood on the carpet and suddenly asked: "Sir, in your impression, Attis What kind of person is the Duke?”

"I am not a lord, Lady Catelyn," the squire replied.

Caitlin looked at the attendant's red hair, "Where are you from?"

"The Dorne Marches, that's what Master Attis calls my hometown." Angai replied.

"Duke Attis" Caitlin seemed to be in a trance, she murmured in a low voice.

"Master Attis is a brave knight, a wise commander, close to his subordinates, and mingling with the soldiers. The master is an eagle in the valley." Ange raised his freckled face and said to Mrs. Caitlin.

Caitlin smiled, a little reluctantly, "A warrior's view." She turned back, stopped asking questions, and walked away.

Attis's gaze was on the Green Fork River outside the window. The shadow of the castle covered the water and rhythmized with the sparkling waves.

Caitlin's words lingered in her ears.

"As the daughter of Tully and the wife of Stark, I will not agree to your terms, but you first let Robb's army cross the Green Fork and then come to negotiate with me. This move couldn't be more obvious, Attis. ·Aylin.”

Attis was silent. He looked into Catelyn's blue, sky-like eyes, and seemed to see the high-spirited and determined eyes of Robb Stark when he led his army south.

This woman is not that stupid.

"I am a mother, I am just a mother. Of course I will agree to your terms, Duke Attis. This is what Tully owes you and the former Prime Minister." Caitlin looked sad, and her gray-green robe fell dejectedly. on the ground.

"If you can," Catelyn's voice was almost pleading, "keep Robb safe and keep Arya safe."

Attis returned to reality, "High as glory." He muttered slightly.

"Ange," he called.

An Gai walked in, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Send Jon Grafson and Lynn Corbray over," Artis said, slightly hesitantly.

"Yes." An Gai nodded and said.

"Mother, mother?" Attis wondered, as if he was asking Caitlin who had left, and also seemed to be asking himself.

Jon Grafson and Lynn Corbray quickly arrived.

Jon didn't hesitate at all. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Duke Attis." He lowered his head and looked at the brown-gray floor.

Lynn Corbray raised his eyes slightly. The Duke in front of him was not wearing armor and was wearing a soft velvet robe. When he met Attis's gaze, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Everyone stand up. I have decided to return to the valley tomorrow." Attis looked at the two people performing the vassal ceremony and went straight to the point.Jon and Lin looked at each other, and Jon Grafson asked: "Duke, many of the valley soldiers stationed at the Twins are homesick. Do you want them to accompany you?"

"The garrison of Twin River City is too wasteful, and too few is unsafe. I will leave four thousand valley soldiers, and you two will be stationed in the east and west forts respectively." Attis said, simply and neatly.

"There are so many people in the Frey family." Jon Grafson frowned slightly.

"Sir Lynn Corbray," Attis looked at Lynn standing aside with eyes like a hawk, "I leave the task of guarding the Frey family to you. All the hostages will be moved to the East Fort, and you will be the one to guard it."

Linn's eyes moved slightly, all Freys?He nodded quickly, "This is my honor, Duke Attis."

"Protect the castle, protect Frey. I will select suitable Frey family members to go to the valley to facilitate better arrangements. As for Marquis Walder and his first heir, Sir Lyman, please stay in the Twins City, and you too Always be on guard." Artis' eyes moved between Jon Grafson and Lynn Corbray.

"What should I be wary of?" Linn asked eagerly, with excitement in his eyes.

Artis smiled slightly and looked at Lynn Corbray who was eager to try. "In Twin River City, there are so many loyal ministers loyal to the Frey family, especially in the Green Fork River area. After I leave, I will take away many valley troops so that Give these loyal vassals an opportunity to take advantage of and spread the news that everyone in the Frey family is in the East Castle. Wait until these loyal vassals gather around and catch them all."

Jon Grafson nodded frequently, his admiration for Duke Attis growing stronger in his heart, "Understood, Duke Attis, Sir Lynn and I will work together to defend against the enemy and capture all those who are enemies of the valley! "

If a family like Frey had truly loyal and unyielding vassals or knights, then there would be an additional layer below the seven levels of hell to imprison these idiots who helped others commit evil. Attis stared at Lin Well, "If there is any news, ask Bachelor Bennett to deliver a letter to the Eagle's Nest City immediately. You two, the land, the golden dragon, and even a good marriage." Attis withdrew his gaze, "As long as you mention it, I can agree to it."

Without looking at the reaction of the two, Attis turned around and faced the scenery of the Green Fork River outside the window, "I want to go back to the Eagle's Nest City. There is no need to interfere with this war sweeping the entire continent. Harold Haddon To hone himself on the battlefield, my brother Robin needs a better education." The bachelor and the tomboy Mia are not enough, Attis thought to himself.

"Ready the carriage and horses, Lady Catelyn will accompany us." Attis ordered.

"Yes!"

A bright day, time to go home.

Similar to northerners, valley people are also very nostalgic for their own land. The homes of most wealthy knights are fiefdoms divided by mountains. Subject to the terrain, every inch of soil is soaked with the blood and sweat of the family's previous valley knights. The ancestors and the Andals from thousands of years ago would fight for every inch of land.There is the Seven-Star Church where they were or will soon return to be ennobled. The women and children elders in their hometown will regard them as knights who have truly received the baptism of war, and will regard them as noble knights of the valley.

Everyone's face showed the desire to return home and the satisfaction of honor. They were even ready to get off their horses, as if they could sense the eagerness of the returnees.

They did not miss the fertile land of the Riverlands. Most of the valley knights who returned home with Attis and the valley recruits who were about to be knighted were bound to the valley, either by land, parents, or lovers.

Most of the soldiers who stayed in the Riverlands were landless, and they needed greater achievements, not just the glory of knights.

Although there are soldiers and knights in both armies who are unwilling to return home or stay in the Riverlands, they will not disobey the orders of the Valley Eagle and lead them to defeat countless enemies and conquer the Eagle's Nest of all fortresses on the Green Fork River. What City Duke Jian Ge points to is what most people in the valley want. The glory of a victory will be shattered by time and subsequent defeats, but continued victory will not diminish the honor that victory brings to them.

Lady Catelyn looked at the young men in the Vale, at the proud expressions on their faces and the bright armor, as well as the blue cloaks that had obviously been meticulously cared for.

She was deeply touched when she thought of the exhausted soldiers from the Riverlands who had no intention of fighting, and the soldiers from the north who went south to defend the enemy. Although they were brave but poorly equipped, she felt deeply moved.

If these warriors fought for Robb, maybe.
Her association was quickly interrupted by the lonely and long whistle of the bugle, "Woo!~Woo!~Woo!~"

Three calls to withdraw, and the falcons return to their nests.
