"Based on their campfires, there are at least 30,000 soldiers gathered in the small town at the crossroads." The mercenary Doron rode a war horse to the halfling and brought him news that an army was stationed at the crossroads.

, "There are many red flags hanging in their camp, and there is a golden lion on them."

"I think that should be the army commanded by your father."

"My father would not mobilize troops like this for me." Tyrion said jokingly, "The people sitting in that camp at the moment may be my brother Jaime... In short, they are all

The Lannister army."

"Moreover, we will soon know who the commander of this army is."

After saying that, Tyrion put his legs under the horse's belly and rushed towards the small town at the crossroads. It is said that the reason why he was able to ride on the horse was thanks to the magnanimity of Lord Gao Yuan.

Not only did he prove his innocence, he immediately and unconditionally released himself as promised, and gave him a war horse as compensation before he left.

But every time he thought about the days he was imprisoned in the Sky Prison of the Eagle's Nest, Tyrion still seemed a little regretful. He swore that he would never have anything to do with the Eagle's Nest or the East again in his life.

, it is simply not a place for people to stay.

Especially the sky prison on the Eagle's Nest City, which is said to be a cell used to imprison prisoners, but rather a hell set up by the Seven Gods to imprison sinners in the human world.

They are located on the cliff of the Giant's Spear, but there are only three smooth stone walls in the cell, and the outward wall is completely exposed to the cold air and cold wind. The smooth floor slopes outward, almost as much as

All are different.

Generally speaking, the steeper the floor, the smaller the area of ​​the cell. The smallest cell can only accommodate a halfling. Tyrion was lucky enough to experience that cell. All he had to do was turn over.

He could fall into the bottomless abyss, and he would rather commit suicide than be imprisoned there again.

The mercenary Bronn walking side by side with him at the moment was hired with money after he was released by Gao Yuan. Fortunately, Lord Gao Yuan did not look down on the golden dragon in his pocket, so he had the opportunity to hire this

A mercenary knight escorted him all the way out of the dangerous Mingyue Mountains.

Long before he was taken captive by them, Tyrion had heard about the mountain clans there, and their cruelty was no less cruel than the Dothraki in Essos.

Even if a knight who is proficient in swordsmanship is unfortunately left alone there, he will still face great danger, let alone a dwarf who is only half the height of an ordinary person.

If he had the misfortune to meet those barbaric tribesmen, he, the dwarf, would probably be roasted on a bonfire as a lamb. At that time, he could only pray that the barbarians could add rats to their meal before they enjoyed him.

He used sage as a seasoning because he hadn't tasted the taste of sage in a long time.

The two rode horses down the foothills. On the uncemented stone watchtower in the distance, the guard was scanning down, and a raven fluttered out from the center of the camp. The mountain road turned between bare rocks, and they

We came to the first heavily defended level.

The road was blocked by a four-foot clay low wall, and a dozen archers holding crossbows stood guard at the top. Tyrion and Bronn stopped outside the range of the crossbows, and he rode up to the low wall alone.

Before: “Who is in charge here?”

The captain in charge of the guard soon appeared. With just one glance, he recognized the dwarf as the son of his lord, so he immediately sent troops to escort them down the mountain. They galloped across the charred fields and burned cottages, entered the river area, and approached

The confluence of the Trident River basins.

Although Tyrion did not see corpses piled up here, the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood. Crows feeding on rotting corpses could be seen everywhere here, and it was obvious that a massacre had occurred here recently.

A few kilometers away from the inn at the crossroads, a series of fortifications lined with sharpened wooden stakes were erected. They were defended by many spearmen and archers. Behind this rigorous defense line, the red camp stretched for several meters.

kilometers to the end of the horizon.

Smoke rises like slender fingers from hundreds of campfires. Heavily armed soldiers sit under the trees and sharpen their weapons. Familiar and friendly flags are fluttering in the wind, and the flagpoles are deeply embedded in the soft ground.

When they entered the wooden gate, a group of knights came forward to question them. The leading knight wore silver armor inlaid with amethysts, a purple and silver striped cloak on his shoulders, and a unicorn pattern and horse shape painted on his shield.

There is a spiral horn on the front of the helmet.

Tyrion stopped his horse and greeted the visitor politely: "Ser Fremont!"

Ser Fremont Brax lifted his mask, his face looked very surprised: "Lord Tyrion..."

"Sir, we all thought you were dead, otherwise your father wouldn't have..."

He hesitantly glanced at the hired knight behind the dwarf: "This companion of yours is..."

"He is my closest friend and loyal subordinate. You can call him Bronn." Tyrion introduced, "Where is my father now?"

"Lord Tywin... He has temporarily used the inn at the fork in the road as his command headquarters. I think you can find him there."

Tyrion couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, that inn at the fork in the road! He didn't expect that he would go back there again after going round and round. Maybe the gods in the sky really had plans for his destiny.

"Take me to see him now!"

"As you command, my lord!" Ser Fremont said and turned his horse's head. Following his order, someone came to clear the obstacles in front of Tyrion and clear a path for him.

Come so Tyrion can take Bronn through.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tywin Lannister's military camp stretches for several kilometers. Bronn's previous estimate of 30,000 people is not far from the facts seen today. Ordinary

The soldiers camped in the open air, while the knights chose to set up tents, and some lords' tents were larger than the houses in the castle.

When he passed by following Sir Fremont, many knights who were familiar with him, or attendants who had met him once, greeted him one after another.

The inn and stables were not far from what Tyrion remembered, but the other houses in the town were now only ruins and blackened ashes. A temporary gallows was built in the inn yard, and the bodies were hung on it.

As the wind swayed back and forth, crows were pecking at the carrion on their bodies.

The dwarf recognized one of the corpses. Her lips, eyes and most of her cheeks had been eaten clean by crows. The scarlet teeth revealed her identity - Mrs. Martha Hyde. The woman at the crossroads

The proprietress of the inn, but the terrifying smile on her face has disappeared now, replaced by exposed scarlet teeth.

"I'm just asking you for a room, dinner and a bottle of wine." His tone didn't sound like an accusation, but more like a sigh.

Under the original sign of the hotel stood two guards with red robes and lion helmets, guarding the door of the hotel. With just one glance, Tyrion recognized them as members of his father's bodyguard: "Where is my father?

"

"Lord Tywin is in the hall, my lord!"

Tyrion nodded and walked into the hotel. Not long after, he saw his father in the lobby of the hotel. Tywin Lannister, who is the Duke of Casterly Rock and the Guardian of the West, is now in his fifties, but

His body is still as strong as a twenty-year-old knight.

Even though he was just sitting there casually, he still looked tall and imposing. His legs were far slender than Tyrion's, and his shoulders were as broad as his son's, and his belly was flat and slightly slim.

Tight, and although the arms are slender, they are also quite strong.

Since Tywin Lannister's originally thick blond hair began to thin, he ordered his royal barber to shave all the top of his head. Lord Tywin has always been a decisive person, so he also

He shaved off all the beard between his lips and chin, leaving only the sideburns next to his cheeks.

When Tyrion strode into the inn hall, Lord Tywin was drinking the only remaining bottle of ale with his only remaining sibling, Ser Kevan Lannister.

Tyrion's uncle usually has a very good relationship with him. Sir Kevan is now bald and blond like his brother, and there are circles of fat on his chin. Sir Kevan first noticed Tyrion's arrival, and he was surprised

The ground shouted: "Tyrion? You came back alive!"

"Uncle Kevan..." Tyrion came to his father and bowed, "Father, it's great to see you here."

Duke Tywin did not stand up, nor did he express any sign of his arrival. He just looked at the dwarf son meaningfully: "It seems that the rumor that you died in the Eyrie has been disproven."

"That's really disappointing for you, father!" Tyrion has long been used to this. "I'm sorry for this. Please don't try to jump up and hug me. I don't want you to get twisted because of me."

waist."

Tyrion walked across the hall to his father's desk. As he walked, he felt that his deformed legs were swaying, extremely stiff and... ridiculous. This is why he regarded himself as a shame, as long as

Lord Tywin's eyes stayed on him for a moment, and he could easily think of the deformities and flaws in his body.

I'm afraid that I am like a funny clown in front of my father... No, not even a clown. Because he is a dwarf, a dwarf who brings shame to his family...

Tyrion climbed up on a chair comically, picked up his father's wine bottle and poured wine for himself. While pouring the wine, he said: "Thank you very much for sending troops to fight for me. This makes me a little flattered." Is it true?

He was flattered, and probably only Tyrion himself knew this.

"I led the army here not for you, but for the honor of the Lannister family." Duke Tywin said coldly, "The whole mess started because of you. If it were your brother Jaime,

He will never succumb to the hands of a woman, nor will he just surrender because there are more people on his side."

"Please forgive me for correcting you. The person who captured me here at that time. In addition to the woman you just mentioned, there is also the most powerful swordsman in the Seven Kingdoms and more than a hundred valley knights armed with weapons.

." Tyrion retorted, "That's just one of the differences between Jaime and I...and he's taller than me...if you've noticed."

"Duke Gaoyuan and the East will pay the price for this. This is related to the honor of the family. I have no choice but to send troops. Lannister must pay its debts!" ​​Duke Tywin ignored his so-called humor. This kind of humor

It made him feel sick, "Anyone who caused the blood of the Lannister family will be severely punished. They will never escape unscathed!"

"Listen to my roar, that's right!" Tyrion said with a playful smile. This is the motto of the Lannister family, not that debts must be paid. "To be honest, in fact, I didn't shed even a drop of blood."

!”

"After Mr. Gao Yuan proved my innocence, he quickly released me from the Eagle's Nest City, otherwise I wouldn't be standing in front of you now."

Tywin Lannister glared at him fiercely: "Duke Gaoyuan wounded your brother Jaime in King's Landing and killed dozens of guards around him..."

"I've never heard of this. How is Jaime's injury?" Tyrion asked pretending to be casual, "I thought he had learned his lesson that night at Winterfell, but I didn't expect Jaime.

You actually have the guts to go find trouble with him..."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Lord Gao Yuan is a smart man. He doesn't even dare to attack you, let alone hurt your brother Jaime." Ser Kevan Lannister told

He said, "This will bring the undying wrath of the Lannisters to the Vale!"

"James is looking for him because of your business!" The old lion slapped the table hard, "If he dares to hurt James in King's Landing, then he will not have the chance to leave from there again.

No, your sister Cersei will never let him off lightly."
