Throne of Comics

Harren Castle, located next to the Three Forked River that divides the north and the south, on the north bank of God's Eye Lake, was built by Harren, the black heart of the Hall family, over 40 years, and is considered the greatest castle ever built.

Harren the Black, formerly Lord of the Iron Islands and the Riverlands, built Harrenhal in memory of himself, intending to make it the greatest castle in all of Westeros to stand out from others.It took him 40 years to realize his dream.Thousands of captives from other kingdoms were exhausted on the five massive towers of the Quarrywatcher.Countless weirwoods were felled to provide rafters and beams.

When it was finished, King Harren boasted that his new stronghold was impregnable, and it was.But he didn't think about Aegon the Conqueror and his dragons.Dragons will not be stopped by high walls and towers, and in the end Heron was burned alive by dragon flames in the tallest tower, so this tower is called the Burning King Tower.Due to the extreme heat, the castle takes on a charred and pitch-black appearance.

Since the War of Conquest, the castle seems to have become a liability - too large and too expensive to maintain.The castle has changed hands several times since Harren's death, and every noble family that has acquired a castle has met an unfortunate fate.

The castle is said to be cursed and haunted due to Harren's reign of terror.Legend has it that Harren mixed human blood with mortar to build the city.The curse prevents anyone from keeping the castle forever.All the families that received Harrenhal died.

Now the actual control of Harrenhal is the Lannister family, and there are many soldiers from the Clegane family stationed in it, and this group is obviously the current one.As for the soldiers of the Lannister family, there are not many stationed in the castle. After all, the main force is still in Casterly Rock City, and under the command of Tywin, they are going to deal with Robb Stark.

Under such circumstances, Li Lingyi was really tempted. In fact, there are many cities on this continent, but many cities do not have any strategic value.Even if it is occupied, it is completely useless.

The most important thing is that he is not representing himself now, but a group of people with their own needs.

Even if these members of the Brotherhood Without Banners are "indigenous people", it does not mean that they are NPCs without any independent thinking.As the leader, if Li Lingyi's decision made no sense, his subordinates would definitely have doubts and even distrust him.

Therefore, one should not only look at the main quest, but also consider the overall situation of the group, and now he has an idea about Harrenhal.It is the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms. Although it has been destroyed by dragon flames, it only looks dark and functional.

Moreover, there were not many troops stationed in the castle during this period, so it was the best time to seize it. Otherwise, when the Five Kings Rebellion ended, there would definitely be heavy guards, after all, it was considered a very important strategic position.

Of course, even if the garrison is not many, that is compared to a large army, not many compared to an army of [-], but there are at least a few hundred people, which is ten times the level of Li Lingyi's current level.Besides, they are still the defenders, not the attackers.

There is a saying in the ancient Chinese art of war: the law of using troops is to encircle them if they are ten, to attack them if they are five, and to fight if they are twice as many.It is also said: the first is to attack the strategy, the second is to attack the diplomatic relations, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city. The method of attacking the city is a last resort.

Why do you say that, because most of the siege needs to face the upward attack of climbing up hills and ladders, which was called ant attachment in ancient times.Because ants are affected by the terrain, the casualty rate is very high, and tactics like flooding and digging tunnels can only be realized in specific terrains and landforms, and they are not widely applicable.

With Li Lingyi's current manpower, even if he went crazy and wanted to attack by force, his subordinates would definitely not do it, and they would definitely die.But sneaking in secretly was not enough. It would be fine if it was a small town, but the walls of Harrenhal were high, deep and thick, with guards all over the place. Even Li Lingyi was not sure that he would not be discovered when he sneaked in, let alone other people.

So if you want to attack Harrenhal, don't worry. After all, there are [-] days in the main line. During this period, the ultimate goal is to convert [-] golden dragons into real combat power, food, and manpower.Holding currency is undoubtedly the most stupid behavior.

At this time, everyone had pulled out the corpses of the soldiers of the Clegane family, put all the good armor on their bodies, and looted all their belongings, and then Li Lingyi took them away from here. From that moment on, the secret den of this cave can no longer be used.

"New leader, where should we go now?"

A group of people shuttled through the mountains and forests. Soros and Bailey walked on both sides of Li Lingyi. The former asked with a smile. Li Ling glanced at him, "Now we need to expand our team."

"What exactly do you want?" Bailey asked. He raised his sword and chopped the thorns blocking the way, without turning his head, he asked, "I can feel that you are different from what we want."

"What do you want?" Li Lingyi asked back, "Just keep wandering like this, and then die at random one day, right?"

"..." Bailey didn't refute. They are indeed like this now, because they still have chivalry, so naturally it is impossible to do looting, but now the War of the Five Kings is fierce, and the prices of the entire continent are soaring. Hunting can't support themselves at all, and coupled with the pursuit from Lannister every now and then, if one day is unlucky, the group may be wiped out.

"Then what do you think?" Soros said on the side, with a somewhat resisted expression: "I heard that you and Lord Ned have a very good relationship. You don't want to bring us to join Robb Stark, do you?"

"Do you have any opinion on Robb?" Li Lingyi was a little surprised by Soros' tone, and the latter shook his head, "I have no opinion, but I just don't want to work under a kid."

"..."

"Uh." Soros froze for a moment, before realizing that his new leader seemed to be the same age as Robb Stark, and also belonged to the brat, and suddenly laughed dryly, "Haha, of course, Ivy, you are different, You are much better!"

After glancing at Soros, Li Ling straightened his expression and said solemnly, "I want to develop our power, and I want to belong to our city."

As Soros and Bailey are important management talents, Li Lingyi will naturally not hide his thoughts from them. In fact, it will be difficult to act if he does not explain clearly.

As for the eyes of both of them widening after hearing this, Soros looked at Li Lingyi in disbelief, Soros blinked, looked at his little leader and asked with some uncertainty: "You mean... you want Want a city? A city with dozens of us?!"

Chapter 433 Call

Looking at the astonished two people, Li Lingyi casually said: "What's the matter, can't you? Don't you want to wander aimlessly like this forever and live in caves all day long?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Soros asked, and he glanced at the crowd behind him, "Look, how can we build a city with just dozens of remnants and defeated generals? Let alone a city, even a bigger one The villages are enough!"

"Yeah." Bailey also said, "Our people are too small, a little unrealistic."

As soon as Li Ling heard the words, he was a little depressed. He pointed to the wooden cart pulled by several people behind him, "Just go to recruit them if there is no one. Are those golden dragons just decorations? Now that the price of goods has soared, many people are too poor to eat." It's time to eat, but we have these [-] golden dragons, at least enough to feed hundreds of people for several months."

"That's true..." Soros nodded, "But even if our number doubles, there are one or two hundred people, but we want a city... By the way, Ivy, which city do you want? Let me tell you first , we will not attack some at will..."

"Don't worry, I won't let you burn, kill, and loot." Li Lingyi said, "Didn't I say it at the beginning, are our enemies the same? The city to be seized is naturally the city of the Lannister family." .”

"..."

Now Soros and Bailey were silent. Although they hated Lannister very much, they had to admit that the latter's family had almost the most powerful soldiers on the mainland and innumerable wealth.It's okay to fight guerrillas with them at ordinary times, but it's too...

"Harrenhal." Li Lingyi said the name of the target city, "I want to take it as our base."

"Harrenhal?!"

Both of them were shocked when they heard the words, Soros smiled wryly, "Ivy, haven't you heard the legend about Harrenhal?"

"Of course I've heard of it." Li Lingyi knew what Soros said. In fact, almost everyone in the mainland knew that there seemed to be a curse in Harrenhal. It is very miserable, and several families have perished because of this.

It's just that Li Lingyi doesn't care much, curses or something, although magic also exists in the power world, and there may be curses as well.But he doesn't believe that this curse can be cursed on him, a pioneer, and he doesn't believe in such things at all.

"I know what you are worried about, but hasn't the Lannister family occupied it for many years, but the curse has not yet been fulfilled." As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Soros and Bailey looked at each other and nodded. Indeed, Herron Ever since the fort was occupied by the Lannister family, the latter family not only did not decline, but instead skyrocketed.

"Even so, how could we capture Harrenhal?" Soros asked. "There are at least five hundred soldiers stationed there! The walls are so high that we might all be shot to death if we can't even climb up!"

"I'll handle this matter." Li Lingyi actually doesn't have a good solution yet, but as the leader, he must never say the words "I don't know", which will only reduce his prestige .

"You are in charge of recruiting people during this time." Li Lingyi said, "I will distribute the golden dragons to you later, and you go to the nearby villages to recruit some poor people, and tell them that as long as they follow me, nothing else can be guaranteed. , but at least you won’t be hungry.”

"There's no need to say anything else." Bailey interjected, his expression a little downcast, "I don't know how many people starve to death every day, especially the Riverland, which has almost no food at all after being looted by the Clegane family. As long as there is something to eat, I will definitely be willing to come.”

"Okay, then you guys are mainly responsible for recruiting people in Hejian." Li Lingyi said, "I'll go to the vicinity of Harrenhal to find out some specific information, and maybe sneak in to see."

"Isn't that too dangerous?" Bailey frowned, "Even if you are very powerful, once you are surrounded by enemies..."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

"……OK then."

After walking for more than two hours, the group finally found a new hidden cave and entered it. Everyone sat around Li Lingyi, and the latter began to explain some important principles like an instructor.

"We can't go on like this. Living in the cave all the time, being chased away by Lannister, even if we can defeat some small troops, but once they send more people one day, we may face annihilation of the entire army end."

"Have you ever thought that your lives are very precious. Why? Because you are all true knights, no matter what your background is, but your noble character has proved this. In comparison, the Lannister family has Elite soldiers and wealth, but extremely despicable. Jaime Lannister, as the imperial guard, murdered the king behind his back, and married his own sister Cersei, tampering with King Robert’s will, making Geoff, who is actually the Lannister family became king."

"And Joffrey can be called tyrannical, crazier than the mad king, and imprisoned the eldest daughter of the Stark family, Sansa, in order to bury the facts, and then forced Duke Ed to admit treason, and finally reneged in Baylor Cathedral Ordered to cut off the head of Duke Ed, which triggered the current rebellion of the five kings, and plunged the mainland into a state of anger and resentment. I don’t know how many civilians died of war and famine.”

As soon as Li Ling said this, the crowd immediately became excited. They wished that the Lannister family would swallow Geoffrey alive. After all, some of them were originally knights, and some were poor commoners, and both of them were influenced by Geoffrey. Naturally, he was extremely dissatisfied with the exploitation and oppression in Li.

As for Soros and Bailey, they looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.Apparently, they had no idea that Li Lingyi, who looked like a teenager, could speak so well and arouse people's emotions so well.

"So, we can't let them do whatever they want! For our rights and freedom, we have to fight them! Until the hypocritical dynasty built by them is destroyed, and the real good king sits on the Iron Throne!" Li Lingyi stood up at this time Come on, raise your arms and say loudly, "Would you like to join me and fight for justice!"

"Will! Will!"
