Chapter 565

clang--

The long swords collided violently.

"Go to hell!"

With a hoarse voice and a weather-beaten face, Brynden Tully seized the opportunity and slashed down a Royce family soldier who rushed over.

puff--

Then, he staggered and pierced an enemy's chest, blood spurting out, and his gray hair was stained with the splattered blood.

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

Sir Blackfish was breathing heavily. Although his swordsmanship was superb and his fighting was brave, he was outnumbered.

The second son of the Royce family, Sir Robert Royce stood up at this time, took over the baton of his father and brother, and directed the army to siege the camp and avenge his father.

"kill!"

The screams of killing in the camp shook the sky.

However, at this critical juncture, outside the battlefield of the civil strife in the valley barracks, the heavy rumbling of iron hoofs suddenly sounded.

rumbling—

The iron cavalry galloped and trampled on the ground. Countless valley knights formed an array. Under the leadership of Littlefinger Petyr Baelish, they raised their spears high and rushed towards the battlefield.

It turned out that Littlefinger had secretly persuaded several nobles to defect to the Targaryen family.

After all, the situation is now settled, the Targaryen army has swept all the land except the North and the Valley, and now it is only the end of the road to fight stubbornly.

Although the valley has high mountains and precipitous spectacles, these cannot stop the dragons from flying over their heads at will, or even shitting on their heads.

The geographical conditions of the Western Territory are comparable to those of the Valley, and they are also very complicated, but they still succumbed to the dragon's flames, and the Lannister family was almost killed. Empty.

Although the nobles in the valley did not want to lose their power, they also did not want to lose the heads around their necks, including the lives of the whole family.

Therefore, some nobles expressed their desire to surrender, but they encountered opposition from the nobles of the main battle faction, and Littlefinger persuaded this group of people to stand on his side.

He confessed his identity to these surrendering nobles, saying that he was the secret messenger of the Iron Throne. He had secretly joined the new king in Pantos two years ago. As long as these people obeyed his orders, they could be forgiven by the Iron Throne. Forget it.

Therefore, Petyr Baelish first commissioned his lover, Lysa Tully, to provoke the conflict between the two giants in the valley army, one is the powerful Earl of Runestone City, Jon Royce, and the other is the Blood Gate Knight Brynden Tully.

The two of them slaughtered each other and both were injured, but Petyr Baelish's army entered the field, easily swept away these people, seized the power of the valley in one fell swoop, proved their strength to His Majesty the King, and indirectly claimed the authority of the valley. .

This is Littlefinger's ultimate plan.

However, now, Brynden Tully and the Royce family really fought each other. The blood of the two sides was bloody. Littlefinger led the army to come.

"The knights of the valley listen to my orders!"

Petyr Baelish was well-dressed, with a black cloak that fluttered in the wind, which he pinned with a metal Mockingbird pin, his own alteration of the Baelish coat of arms, he thought Mockingbird is more in line with his identity, wearing deerskin gloves on his hands.

Then he took off the glove and put it on the saddle, raised his hand and pointed straight ahead, speaking loudly.

"For the Iron Throne, quell this rebellion!"

And the knights of the valley heard his order and cheered, and then the iron hooves rumbled down.

"kill!"

rumbling—

The sound of hooves galloping, the warhorses neighed, the screams of soldiers came one after another, and there was the sound of metal cutting into flesh.

On the battlefield, neither side in the melee had thought that a third party would intervene.

"what happened?!"

The second son of Runestone City, Sir Robert Royce, rode on the warhorse and saw the valley knights with various banners pouring into the battlefield like a torrent of steel, and they were massacred indiscriminately, and he was shocked.

"It's Lord Petyr Baelish!"

The sharp-eyed guard saw Petyr Baelish in the center surrounded by the stars and the moon.

"Littlefinger?"

"Why can he command so many Valley troops?"

However, at this time, no one could explain to Robert Royce what happened and why Littlefinger had quietly won the support of most nobles.

The war situation of civil strife has turned sharply after the intervention of the Valley Knights, and the soldiers of the Royce family have suffered heavy casualties and have a tendency to collapse.

"Sir! Run away!"

Urged by the loyal guards, Robert Royce could only grit his teeth and finally glanced in the direction of Littlefinger, then under the protection of the guards, he urged his horse to escape the battlefield and headed towards his hometown of Runestone City. .

While Robert Royce abandoned the formation and fled, Brynden Tully on the other side was also not feeling well.

He was besieged in the center by the army of Runestone City. When the Valley Knights broke through, he was already injured several times, and he was about to fall.

"Lord Brynden!"

And Littlefinger Petyr Baelish saw that Brynden Tully had not died in the war, a pair of gray-green eyes wiped a trace of regret, but no one noticed.

He immediately jumped off the horse with a flick of the reins, and hurried over to support Brynden Tully.

"I brought troops to rescue you!"

After all, Littlefinger was once fostered in Riverrun. If it wasn't for what happened later, Littlefinger was expelled from Riverrun, and he would have called Brynden an uncle, so his claim that he was here to rescue Ser Blackfish naturally didn't arouse any suspicion.

The soldiers loyal to Brynden Tully looked at each other in dismay. Although they had just been killed a lot by the Valley Knights, they still put down their weapons at this time. After all, the Valley Knights had already controlled the situation and were outnumbered. .

"Petil"

Brynden was injured several times, gasping for breath, his right hand still held the long sword tightly like a stress response, while the other hand grabbed Petyr Baelish's palm .

At this moment, he thought of the time in Riverrun, when he was kind to all the children of the Tully family, including Petyr.

He advocated for family unity, but it turned out that something like that happened later

Now that Petyr was able to disregard his past suspicions and lead troops to rescue him, Brynden Tully felt a little warm in his heart.
