#186 - Chapter 32: Courting Death (Part 2)

Liu Yuan walked over and said, "You're right, it's a good idea. Chop off all these people's heads and stick them on the tips of spears."

Lord Roger Hogg of Sow's Horn came over with a few of his men. These people were fighting right in front of his house, so he had to come and take a look. He didn't expect to see such a scene, and he was terrified. The ground was covered with Lannister soldiers' corpses, and was that golden armor a member of the Kingsguard?

Preston cursed, "You bastard! Kill me if you have the guts."

"Pfft!" A flash of silver light passed, and Liu Yuan swung his blade, sending Preston's head flying high.

Liu Yuan sheathed his sword and spread his hands to Lord Roger Hogg: "You all heard it, he asked for it himself. It's the first time I've heard such a request in so many years. Here, stick this head on a spear too."

Then he came to the two prisoners, looked them up and down, and said, "I only need one alive to go back and report. You guys discuss it yourselves! See who stays?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the smaller of the two soldiers suddenly jumped up. He pounced on his companion and stabbed him in the armpit with a dagger hidden in his boot, once, twice, three times... until the other man died. Then he murmured, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." and cut off his companion's head with the not-so-sharp dagger in his hand.

Then he threw down his weapon and knelt in front of Liu Yuan: "My lord, I beg your forgiveness. My name is Fabry Lanchester, we met in Lannisport, my brother is Unix Lanchester."

Liu Yuan: "Hehe~ A familiar face! Tsk tsk~ Ruthless enough! A man who can accomplish great things. Okay! I'll keep my word and let you leave! Kid, take these heads back to King's Landing, and tell Cersei not to provoke me, the consequences are too severe for her to bear."

Roger Hogg was restless. Oh my! Is this something he could watch? He didn't know much about Ser Galon's strength, only that he was very powerful. Now he could even challenge the King and Queen?

Liu Yuan came up to him, smiling, and said, "Sorry, Lord Hogg, for disturbing you. I'm just dealing with some personal grievances here!"

Fabry, covered in blood, rode his horse, not very fast. Because behind him were five more horses, dragging Preston's headless corpse. The other horses were each carrying four or five spears, each with a head on the tip. The pedestrians and caravans along the way gave way, the scene was too terrifying.

Liu Yuan returned to Highgarden with his men, and instructed Case: "We've already broken with King's Landing, send a message to Crackclaw Point, and let the five thousand reserve troops set off in secret. Let Bick set up defenses. The King's Landing side lacks troops and is not to be feared. What's worth noting is the army of the Westerlands. Tywin's thirty thousand men should be southwest of the Gods Eye, possibly responding to his good grandson and coming to King's Landing to stabilize the situation."

————————

After Catherine fell out with her sister Lysa, she left the Vale under Rodrik's protection. Now that Riverrun was besieged by Jaime, she had no choice but to head north to find the Northern army.

It was now early afternoon, and the Northern army was passing through the Neck faster than usual. When Catherine arrived, Robb was discussing the next marching route with a group of lords.

Robb, his hand on the map, said: "The lords of the Riverlands are retreating steadily, with Jaime Lannister leading his army in hot pursuit. He has also detached a part of his army to besiege Riverrun. And Tywin Lannister is leading another army from the south, according to scouts, this army will number no less than thirty thousand. Either enemy force outnumbers us."

Lord Umber: "I don't care how many people they have. Our Northern warriors have defeated enemies more than ten times their number. I will personally lead the charge into the enemy lines, and I don't believe the Westerlands army is so difficult to defeat."

Catherine walked into the tent, and many people saw her and stood up to salute. Robb hadn't seen his mother for several months and warmly embraced her.

Lord Umber: "I didn't expect to see you here, madam. The situation is so chaotic now. With you here, everyone will have more confidence."

Catherine saluted everyone: "Thank you, but I didn't expect to come here either. I hope to talk to the boss alone, I hope everyone can forgive me."

Lord Cerwyn said with a smile: "Are you deaf, didn't you hear? Go, go, go." Then he pushed Lord Umber out, and Lord Umber said with an embarrassed smile: "Please rest assured, we will definitely be able to kill our way into the Red Keep and rescue Ned."

Only Robb and his mother were left in the tent, and Catherine said with some emotion: "I still remember what you looked like as a baby, and now you have grown up and can lead an army to fight."

Robb: "Mother, this is my responsibility. I am the only Stark family man who can come forward. By the way, here is a letter, you should take a look, it was written by Sansa."

Catherine snorted: "Hmph, you mean the Queen wrote it! ...But it doesn't mention Arya!"

Robb: "Indeed not! Mother, I am very worried about her. If I go to King's Landing to pledge allegiance to Joffrey..."

Catherine interrupted him quickly: "Don't even think about it, if you go, you will never be able to escape, Cersei will lock you up until you die. How many people do you have now?"

Robb: "Less than twenty-three thousand!"

Catherine: "Our only hope now is that you can defeat the Lannisters on the battlefield."

Robb: "What if I lose?"

Catherine: "Do you know what happened to the Targaryen children after the War of the Usurper? It was Tywin who personally gave the order, do you think he will be soft now? If you lose, your father will die, your sisters will die, you and I will die."

Robb: "Then the rest is simple, I just need to win. Oh right, mother, this is a letter written by Rickon. Teacher Galon said that he would protect Rickon's safety."

Catherine: "Ah! Rickon can write letters now. ...They shouldn't have come back, if they were still on the Eastern Continent, they could have avoided this vortex. But Galon's castle is very big, Cersei shouldn't be able to do anything to them for a while."

At about the same time, Tyrion led more than a thousand mountain clansmen from the Vale and arrived at the Lannister army's camp.

Fully armed soldiers stopped everyone outside the camp, and Tyrion only took a few tribal leaders inside. In the main tent, Tywin Lannister was holding a military meeting, with his brother Kevan and important vassals of the Westerlands in attendance.

Tywin: "Hehe~ It seems that the rumors about your death are false, who are these companions of yours?"

Tyrion: "Sorry father, to disappoint you. These are mountain clans from the Vale, this is Shagga, chief of the Stone Crows, this is the chief of the Burned Men..."
