Chapter 706 March
The duel was beyond everyone's expectations. I saw Ye Junwen accepting James' duel and decided to go to him. They mainly felt that there were two situations. Some people thought Ye Junwen was of course too young, arrogant, and so on, while the other part thought that Ye Junwen should have been a little sure of doing this. But no one expected that this was the result. This was too exaggerated. This was no longer described as crushing. Just a light shot, the world's number one swordsman and the captain of the Imperial Guard flew like this? This was not a swordsman at all, but magic.
"Hey..." While they were thinking this, Ye Junwen also walked to the front of James and looked at James lying on the ground. However, the other party had no reaction. This guy seemed to have fainted by himself. Ye Junwen was a little disappointed. People in this world were too fragile.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no chance for people in this world to kill themselves, so it is a bit uncomfortable. I thought that if there is a dragon in this world, it should be at least a high martial arts world. But in the end, this swordsman who looks like awesome is just at this level, so is the opponent you are looking for too weak or what?
"Closed him." Ye Junwen pointed to James on the ground and said.
"Oh?" Ed next to him was stunned and locked up. He didn't kill him directly? This guy lost the trial competition. According to the general situation, he killed him directly.
"I thought about it and it would be better to take it back and execute it in public." Ye Junwen said. Of course, the actual situation is that he doesn't want to waste a ticket. Although this guy can't kill him, he hates himself after all. It's not good to kill him. What's the point of avenging his grandfather? Then Iris is not his grandfather, so Ye Junwen has no time to avenge such a wild man.
Ed thought about it and it seemed that there was no problem. Indeed, this kind of guy would be executed after the public trial of Junlin. Ye Junwen has just ascended the throne and is still a little unstable to gain a foothold. If he dealt with this regicide, he would increase his reputation a lot.
"Is there anyone in this world who is more powerful than him?" Ye Junwen suddenly asked Ed.
"This..." Ed couldn't answer for a while. After all, James is indeed the strongest among the people he knew, and of course he has become Ye Junwen now.
"When I came from another continent, I also wanted to see the heroes of this continent and compete with them." Ye Junwen said, "But I didn't expect that I was so weak. Is there no stronger person in this continent?"
"Your Majesty is extremely brave..." Ed could only say that.
"What a shame, I'm at the same level on our side. Is there really no one here able to fight?" Ye Junwen asked.
"this……"
According to Ed's reaction, Ye Junwen also knew the general situation and waved his hand to show that he knew. If there is no guy who can kill him, the value of this world will be much less. Now we just want to see if there is anything that can be used as energy. If there is no such thing, the world can only be regarded as a gold mine, or as a colony to provide manpower in the future.
After the competition, Ye Junwen also announced the next order, that is, the troops set off and prepare to attack the Lannister family's troops. At this time, Ye Junwen's prestige in the North Frontier troops was much higher. Before, they were mainly because Ye Junwen had a dragon, but now most of the North Frontier lords convinced Ye Junwen, mainly because the opponent was very strong and easily defeated James, the world's number one swordsman, and this courage really made them admire. In this martial world, Ye Junwen's prestige was naturally much higher, so the North Frontier troops were willing to listen to his orders at this time.
Although the Lannister family had more troops than the North, the people in the North were not afraid of them. Now with the help of dragons, what else would they say? Of course, they were on the front. So after receiving the order, the North Army immediately drove toward Helenburgh to the south.
At this time, I also gave a brief introduction. At this time, the troops in the North were about 16,000. In the previous battle, the troops in the North were divided into two, one of which was led by Robb and attacked the Lannister army in the west. This unit was the one who captured James, and they won the battle. The other was the troops led by Lusbodon, mainly resisting the large troops of the Lannister army here. However, in the previous battle, they were slightly defeated, lost some troops, and were defeated here, so there were fewer troops.
Lannister's troops are about 20,000 in Herenburg, and the troops are still the leader in Lannister's family. Moreover, Herenburg is known as the largest castle in the continent, and it is certain that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Generally speaking, the troops in the North have almost no chance to capture Herenburg, but now the troops in the North are full of confidence. After all, if there is a dragon, they take the initiative to attack.
This place is not very far from Herrenburg, and it is only about a day away, so they will be able to reach Herrenburg tomorrow. The people in the North look more warlike. Ye Junwen saw that many people were ready to show off, but unfortunately they didn't know that they were just responsible for picking up corpses behind.
During the march, Ed here also had a good conversation with his family, of course, mainly about the situation in Junlin before. Although he had contacted him with letters, he didn't say it clearly. Now, after listening to the situation at that time, Robb and Caitlin both were worried about Ed. If Ye Junwen had not been born, they would have really not seen Ed. Of course, they also quickly expressed their gratitude again.
Of course, these are second-hand. Ed also learned a bad news during the chat. The situation is like this. The total strength of the Lannister army is more than 40,000, and only part of the Herenberg is part of it. Half of the military is on the western border, and it can be replenished at any time, because the opponent's military strength is too much. When Robb went south, he was also thinking about finding reinforcements.
As Robb thought about it, he suddenly thought of the Iron Islands. This is a relatively independent kingdom located west of the mainland. It consists of several archipelagos, and people who call themselves Iron People live on it. However, in fact, these people are just a bunch of pirates. Originally, people from the seven countries did not like them, but they still had a lot of troops. So Robb thought of borrowing troops from them and asking them to attack the Western border and help restrain Lannister's troops.
Robb made this choice mainly because of one of his righteous brothers, Theon. This Theon is actually the current lord of the Iron Islands and the heir of Baron Greyjoy. For some reasons, Theon was sent to the Stark family as an adopted son. He grew up with Robb and the others since childhood. Although he is not a brother, his relationship is still very deep. Therefore, with him as an envoy to the Iron Islands, Robb felt that the chance of asking the other party to send troops was still very high. Theon also promised that he could invite reinforcements, so Robb asked him to set off. This was before Ed was rescued.
When Ed asked Theon, he learned about this matter. Robb forgot to report it to him. When he heard the news, Ed felt something was wrong. The people in the Iron Islands were a group of pirates, and they had done a lot of treacherous things, so the way Theon really found reinforcements on his trip? Ed expressed doubts. Even more bad was that Theon himself was a proton of the Iron Islands. Now that the proton was released, he felt that there might be no return.
Of course, Ed didn't expect any worse results at this time. As an upright person, he always lacked imagination for the worst situation. It can be said that he could not imagine how bad a person could be. In short, this matter has not yet fermented, and Theon has not yet received any contact in the past few days. Although Ed had a bad premonition, he just ignored it. The war here is still more important.
Of course they also talked about the two daughters. At this time, Ed's two daughters were in King's Landing City, and of course they were very safe. The eldest daughter Sansa has been very sad recently. After all, her fiancé Joffrey was beaten to death by Ye Junwen, but fortunately, she was just sad. The younger daughter is Arya who summoned Ye Junwen before. Recently, this young daughter has become very admiring Ye Junwen. After all, Ye Junwen saved his father and the other beat her to death. For a little girl of her age, Ye Junwen is simply a prince charming and admires Ye Junwen very much. He has told his father Ed several times that he wants to see Ye Junwen again. Unfortunately, Ye Junwen is always missing and Ed can't find him, let alone Arya.
Ye Junwen also found that the atmosphere of the Stark family in the northern border was quite good, and the brothers and sisters all sounded very emotional. Yes, they were having a meal in the tent at this time, and Ye Junwen was listening to the conversation between them by the side, collecting information on one side, and passing the time on the other side.
"Speaking of this, a few days ago, news came from the Night Watcher. Ned, have you heard of it?" Caitlin said suddenly.
"What news?" Ed asked.
"Your brother Bunyan... seems to be missing," Caitlin said.
"What?" Ed was stunned. It was the first time he heard about this. "Is it missing? What's going on?"
"I don't know very well, it is said that he disappeared while on patrol..." Caitlin said.
"..." Ed was silent for a moment. Of course, Bunyan would not have disappeared for no reason. If anyone was missing, it would be an accident. Could it be... he remembered the escaped night watchman he had caught before.
