A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones
Chapter 85 The Trial of the Seven Sons (9)
There are still some riders behind the team, they are the tails left by the enemies.
Renly had already ordered a senior member of the assembly to rush forward to request assistance. At the same time, he also completely adjusted his route, preparing to change his destination and rush towards the nearest place called Stone Hall Town - where there is A temple and a gathering place for the sons of nearby warriors.
It's just that he can't guarantee whether reinforcements will come, and it's also unknown whether the team can actually reach that safe place——
Although there are two prisoners in hand, who can guarantee whether these two prisoners will always be reliable?
If the lord family behind them is afraid that these two people will betray them, and sends troops to kill them to eliminate future troubles, wouldn't the team be equally unsafe?
This possibility is not non-existent. The nobles of Westeros have always considered family interests as their primary goal. Although the church's strength is scattered and it is currently confronting the Targaryen dynasty, it can be regarded as a behemoth. If you show up rashly, you will only receive a devastating blow.
Therefore, although there were many wounded in the team, he still asked to speed up the march without stopping.
The fertile fields on both sides seemed endless, and the road under their feet became muddy after a rainfall. They occasionally encountered some scattered travelers on the road, and there were also farmers seeking protection, but despite the criticism of the assembly members, Renly still refuses to carry out this kind of work anymore - he fears that there may be a traitor among them.
On the third day after Big Beard's death, the team passed by a village. A member of the assembly claimed that he came to this village often and was trustworthy, so they stayed here for some repairs.
The local villagers welcomed the arrival of this group of people and actively provided accommodation and food, so the team stayed here temporarily for one night.
Originally, Renly was planning to get up early the next morning and hit the road again, but perhaps because of his stable training, several seriously injured people who had been unconscious suddenly woke up, including the old knight.
…
It was early in the morning when Knight Lelin woke up. Renly, who couldn't sleep, was originally on a watchtower in front of the village, looking at the distant fields shrouded in dawn. After receiving the notice, he hurried over.
After seeing Renly push open the door and enter, the old knight who woke up in the thatched house took a breath and waved a member of the assembly who was feeding him porridge to leave.
"I heard about you." When there were only two people left in the room, he said weakly: "Originally, I thought you wanted to run away."
If it weren't for those two people, I would have really run away. Renly said in his heart, but what came out of his mouth was something else.
"How is Jazz's health?"
"It feels pretty good." The old man leaning against the dirt wall smiled and said, "But even if I die like this, I can feel relieved to see my brother's descendants before I die."
These words made Renly look stunned, but the other party had already weakly closed his eyes at this time, so he said nothing more, looked at the old knight for a few times, then turned and left.
After the sun rose, the team continued on their way, but their numbers were reduced again.
Several members who were not part of the Poor People's Assembly chose to stay, and some of the seriously injured members of the team were also arranged by Renly to stay here to recuperate, preparing to come back to pick them up after reinforcements were found.
Originally, he planned to keep Knight Lelin here, but the other party struggled and insisted on following the team on the road. He claimed that the duty of the son of a warrior was to lead the assembly members forward, and there was no reason to abandon them and stay behind.
The old man was stubborn and insistent on this, and Renly had the feeling that he had another agenda.
The next few days were a continuous rush, and there were currently less than ten members left, so the team's speed was not slow. The old knight who Renly was particularly concerned about was also intermittently waking up from coma, coma and waking up again. When he woke up, he would ask Renly to say a few words.
Renly felt like he didn't have long to live.
But one day, after waking up, the old knight became extremely energetic, and his pale face became rosy. He called Renly to the front and back of the oxcart. He habitually looked at the big blond man in front of him for a few times, and slowly said: : "You know, I'm a deserter."
Renly was startled when he heard the words, but the other party did not finish his words, but said to himself: "I was your grandfather's attendant. Together with him and your great-grandfather, we participated in the war that wiped out the royal family in the Reach. Your grandfather When he died, I should have stayed by his side, but those dragons, those three dragons really made me—" When he said this, he paused.
"So I ran away."
Knight Lelin's voice was much smoother than before, with no emotion. It sounded like a normal old man talking, and he didn't seem to want any response from Renly, the audience.
"I felt ashamed, so I gave up my family's inheritance rights and chose to join the church to atone for my sins. I spent half my life believing in the gods in heaven, but in the end I still always dream about the scene that day. My father and brother were fighting to the death. I turned around and ran away. They died Yes, I survived, it was a nightmare.”
"This is normal, sergeant." Renly comforted after hearing this: "Otherwise, if you stay there, you will die."
The other party did not feel comforted by this, but shook his head.
"You said this is normal, but if you give me a chance to choose, I want to die in that war."
Renly didn't say anything. He felt that the other person was full of memories of the past at this time, and he could clearly detect the old age hidden under the old man's rosy cheeks, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, the old knight smiled instead. After staring at him with cloudy eyes for a long time, he said sadly: "I wanted to teach you with my own hands. You are a talented person who can learn quickly. The most important thing is to know how to use your brain, but I didn't expect that my death would come so soon. I have been looking forward to this day, but it shouldn't be now, and it shouldn't be when I just met my brother's descendants. This must be the punishment of the gods in heaven... "
When he talked about his brother's descendants, his tone was very firm, and he seemed to have confirmed that Renly was a bloodline of their family. Renly couldn't imagine where his certainty came from, and all the clues? Or are you forcing yourself in your heart to believe that this is the truth?
He didn't understand, and the old man was obviously no longer obsessed with this. After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and patted the guard board behind him, so the ox cart stopped appropriately. Then he saw the old knight holding the side rails of the ox cart with his hands. He stood up staggeringly and got off the ground with Renly's help.
Taking a few deep breaths, he forced himself to look up at the gloomy sky above his head, then faced Renly who was standing in front of him and said: "I can't teach you anything, Lemon, but you have to Remember, a knight is not a knight just by riding a horse with a gun and wearing a suit of armor. No matter how sharp your gun is, how strong your horse is, or how superb your sword skills are, you are still not a knight. The most important thing is spirit and belief. Without this belief, you cannot be called a knight, or even alive.”
Renly was startled when he heard this, but the other party took out the long sword he wore on his waist and placed it on his left shoulder. Then he said to Renly with a serious face: "Now, kneel down, Lemon, the bastard son of the Osgrey family. "
