Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 108: Ten Thousand People Army
Dusk.

Aemon rushed to Runestone City and met his mother, Lady Rhea, as he wished.

"You knew you were back?"

Mrs. Rhea acted arrogantly and refused to visit her son whom she hadn't seen for months.

"I never come to the temple without a reason."

Aemon shrugged, having long been immune to his mother's sharp words.

To his surprise, there was a familiar guest in the hall.

"Prince, did the journey go smoothly?"

Jen Sifu was wearing a light green dress and handed over a glass of sake with both hands.

Aemon asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

We just met in River Valley Town at noon, and then ran to Fushishi City in the afternoon.

"She didn't get there much earlier than you did."

Madam Leia took over the conversation and said disappointedly: "I heard that you ran to Seagull Town and Iron Oak City. I really don't know how to comment on it."

The rivalry between Runestone City and Seagull Town has continued from the Age of Heroes to the present day.

Red Waywood is a greedy old fox who won't release his eagle until he sees the rabbit.

Seeking help from these two parties is like banging your head against a wall.

Aemon nodded slightly and looked at the red-haired girl beside him.

Jensif lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Lord Waywood is not an easy person to deal with. I think you will come to Runestone City after you return from this trip."

What to do in Rune City?
Either attack Iron Oak City or fight the pirates of the Three Women's Kingdom.

Yimon pursed his lips and suddenly realized that the women around him were so smart.

Except for Rhaenyra.

It is a skill that women hone through going through many hardships.

Or maybe the two women in front of him, one big and one small, were both from the valley and knew the situation of their neighbors better than he did.

"You still have a lot to learn."

Lady Rhea looked proud.

The daughter-in-law she chose would not be an ordinary person.

"Then I want to say thank you."

Aemon is very thick-skinned.

Zhan Sifu buried her head in her chest, not daring to take credit for anything.

He stared at his mother, leaned over to Jen Sifu's ear, and whispered, "Did you settle it?"

"Ah."

Jane Sifu nodded slightly and admitted it generously.

I hurried here from River Valley Town just to do ideological work on Madam Leia.

If she wanted to be the princess of River Valley Town, she couldn't let the mother and son quarrel or have a cold war because of her.

Only by playing a role of adjustment can we win at the starting line.

"very good."

Aemon gave a silent thumbs-up.

It saved him a lot of effort.

"You guys chat, I'll go out and tell the kitchen to prepare dinner."

Jensif looked back at Madam Leia and left the mother and son some space alone.

That well-behaved and sensible look made Eamon stunned again and again.

This is too smart.

His ability to manipulate people's hearts is so amazing that he is just one step away from becoming a worm in their stomachs.

The hall fell silent.

Madam Leia took a sip of sake and said casually, "What a good girl, but she overacted a little and her acting wasn't up to par."

Yimon was surprised and asked, "You know everything?"

My mother's level is indeed higher.

"When I say her shortcoming, it's that she still has room to grow."

Madam Leia put down her wine glass, pointed at the untouched wine, and said:

"For example, you don't like to drink, and you occasionally drink some sweet wine or sake to pretend. When she prepared wine for you, she forgot to prepare some strong liquor for me."

The sake in her glass tasted like horse urine and could not be swallowed.

Looking at his mother who was talking freely, Yimeng guessed, "She has probably met you no more than three times."

"Yes, I have been to the Red Base once, and today is my second time."

Seeing that her son was not stupid, Madam Leia preached: "So, you should give her more opportunities to spend time with you. She will make the rest of your life very comfortable."

Never mind the valley.

Even if you look across the seven major countries, it would be hard to find another unmarried daughter who could assist her husband.

As early as several years ago, she had taken a fancy to Jen Sifu at the Red Tower banquet.

At that time, she was still a little girl, but she could arrange banquets for her father, Earl Redwyne, and entertain the guests in an orderly manner.

"Mom, I have a crush on someone."

Eamon repeated this sentence for the second time today.

"one?"

Lady Rhea’s eyes were sharp.

Aemon bowed his head in thought.

"That means you are involved with both of them."

Madam Leia's eyelids twitched, and she said admiringly: "Your ability to commit suicide is even better than that bastard father of yours."

Pray that there will be no substantial breakthroughs before it is exposed.

Otherwise the king and the sea serpent will not let you off easily.

Those are the two most cunning people among the seven major countries.

Aemon was helpless, looking down at the brown floor.

This floor is really dull.

"Okay, stop playing dumb."

Lady Rhea rolled her eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, I always pretend to be ignorant when I make a mistake.

If you don’t know, you might think he is the son of his uncle who is the king.

"hey-hey."

Aemon smiled awkwardly.

The Conqueror has two wives.

What's wrong with him having two sweethearts?

"I have no objection to your wish to gather your vassals. If anyone is trying to stop you, you should step over them."

Madam Leia said seriously.

Imon suppressed his smile and said that the opponents on the battlefield this time were pirates from the Three Women's Kingdom.

"The three women are in constant turmoil, so it's a good choice for training."

Madam Leia took out the clan sword "Sorrow" that she had prepared in advance and placed it on the table. She stood up and said, "But you have to think clearly. Apart from the enemies on the battlefield, where are your real enemies?"

"I see."

Aemon stepped forward and held down the cross-shaped Valyrian steel sword Lament.

The panel prompt sound sounds.

"Discover a magical weapon and gain +10 Magic Essence."

It's ordinary and can't stir up any ripples in my heart.

Madam Leia stared at him, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, her tone softened: "You should know that you have an easier way to eliminate those hostile towards you invisibly."

The return of a Targaryen to the Vale puts the nobles of the Vale under great pressure.

Fu Shi City and Hong Lei are united, together with the newly developed River Valley Town.

Not only will the nobles in the valley let go of their grudges, but the Fushishi City will also rise to the pinnacle of power in the valley.

There are only so many of the old nobles of the Vale.

The Arryn family of the Eyrie should also consider whether they have the courage to go to war. "Mom, I am not just a Royce."

Aemon held the Lament and said seriously, "I am still a Targaryen."

After marrying Jane Sifu, he completely belonged to the valley.

The royal succession rights had nothing to do with him anymore.

His only relative in Rune City is his mother, Leia.

But in the Red Keep of King's Landing, they are all blood relatives who share the same surname as him.

The Targaryens must not perish, and the dragons must not die at the hands of the vile.

What he had done before was far from enough to put an end to the birth of "Blood Dragon Dance".

Madam Reya stood there in a daze, staring at her son.

She suddenly felt a little confused.

"I am born of bronze and fire!"

Aemon's eyes sparkled as he spoke in High Valyrian: "The dales are fit for eagles, the wider skies are for dragons."

Madam Leia's pupils shrank slightly and her expression kept changing.

She understood.

His son's ambition is not the Vale, but the Iron Throne in King's Landing.

K.

Without further explanation, Aemon walked out of the hall with the "Sorrow".

He was actually quite happy.

My mother is indeed an extraordinary person. She secretly learned Valyrian.

I just don't know if it was to communicate with him or to prevent Damon, the old man, from making sarcastic remarks to her in her native language.

That night.

From a remote attic in Fushi City, flocks of ravens flew out, delivering information in all directions.

It is urgent to summon the vassal states.

……

the next day.

Early in the morning, someone saw His Royal Highness the Prince working in the blacksmith shop.

The fire was burning fiercely, illuminating the red muscular arms.

Jansif was guarding outside and secretly saw the Valyrian steel sword "Lamentation" hanging on the wall.

Why does Your Highness need to forge weapons when you already have such a good sword?

Aemon lowered his head and said nothing, concentrating on hammering the sword blank.

No matter how good the clan sword "Lament" is, it is just a borrowed token.

As long as he doesn't inherit Fu Shi City, it will probably never be passed on to him.

Besides, the war is imminent.

He needs to find a reasonable way to vent and relieve his restless mood.

War is not as simple as it is described in books.

War kills people, a lot of people.

If you are not careful, you will be cursed for all eternity.

Especially a shocking war that he poured his heart and soul into, participated in and profited from, and was enough to change the world.

If he fails, he will be just a dragon knight even if he has a dragon under his crotch.

And victory will be his chance to rule the valley.

There's no reason why he doesn't pay attention to it.

Bang! Bang!
The iron hammers swung down again and again, and two bronze swords engraved with runes gradually took shape.

Aemon did not stop and continued to forge steel sword armor.

Not for personal use, but for those in need.

Time passes day by day as each fresh and fine appliance is produced.

Fu Shi City changes every day.

the next day.

Gunthor, along with his deputy William, led eight hundred longbowmen to Runestone City.

Fourth day.

Jello Royce integrated the troops of Runestone City, and eight hundred valley knights, one thousand longbowmen, and one thousand two hundred infantrymen trained every day.

Seventh day.

Seagull Knight Ryan Shetter came from Seagull Town.

He brought a cousin and eldest son, both of whom were official knights.

There are also seven hired knights.

Each knight had three squires, forming a cavalry team of thirty people.

The remaining archers totaled 500 people.

Aemon was still in the blacksmith shop, working on equipment by the furnace.

The only difference is that it was replaced with a bigger and heavier hammer.

Every time the embryo was struck, intense sparks flew.

tenth day.

Members of the Royce family arrived one after another.

There are more than fifty branches of Royce in total, each of which is a wealthy knight family.

Each family comes with three to five people, including father, son and brothers.

Including knight squires and archers, there were a total of 500 cavalry and 3,000 archers.

At this point, all of the Royce family's direct troops have arrived.

However, the vassal states of Fushishi City are far from arriving.

The fourteenth day.

An unfamiliar flag enters Runestone City.

The flag is a "zigzag pattern of black and grey".

The Tollett family of Ashvale City.

A group of secondary nobles under the Royce family, led by Baron Addison Tollett, known as the "Gray Fox".

One of his descendants will become the commander of the Night's Watch in the future.

Addison Tollett arrived, bringing with him his brother, two nephews, and fourteen other hedge knights.

Including the knights' squires and the knights of the valley, there were a total of 500 cavalrymen.

There were also seven hundred longbowmen and one thousand infantrymen.

The total force is as high as 2,300 people.

As a secondary noble living in a remote area, this was already a move that would drain the family's wealth.

Day 23.

A team with a flag embroidered with the clan emblem of "a blue 'Y' with a white border on a red background" came in a mighty procession.

The Korwat family of Coldwater City.

One of the oldest nobles in the valley, and also one of the secondary nobles under the Royce family.

The leader of the team is Walder Kovath, the eldest son and heir of the current Earl of Coldwater City, who is over thirty years old.

Sir Walder brought with him an uncle and an illegitimate brother, as well as more than thirty hired knights.

Including the powerful 500 Valley Knights, there were more than 600 cavalry in total.

There were 1,800 longbowmen and 300 infantrymen.

The total force reached 2,700 people.

Bang!

Aemon swung his hammer down, and sparks flew everywhere.

In the presence of many vassals, a piece of high-quality full-body plate armor was pieced together.

Jane Sifu immediately stepped forward and handed over a dry towel.

Aemon wiped the sweat off his face. His strong muscles were full of strength and his features were distinct under the firelight. He said, "Thank you for coming from afar. Thank you for your hard work."
