Chapter 60: Valar fishes in troubled waters

"King's Tomb City" Valar searched his memory hard, but found that his brain was empty. It turned out that he fell asleep when Dr. Vesalius gave him a course on nobility.

"Sir, King's Tomb City is located on the west side of where we are now and on the east side of Prince's Pass." Lucrez ran over panting, and whispered in Valar's ear, his dragon Arak Si couldn't fly as fast as Silver Wing, so he could only fly over on Silver Wing's back with Valar.

"The Manwudi family first built a castle on the high mountain east of the Prince's Pass, and guarded the middle section of the Prince's Pass from a high position. In the ancient times, a gardener king from the Reach crossed the Prince's Pass and was about to invade Dorne when he was killed by that man. The head of the Manwudi family was beheaded, which is also the origin of the coat of arms of the Manwudi family. "Lusiris has a good academic performance in aristocracy, and he can memorize it well even for such a small family.

"The Manwudi family is not a first-line family in Dorne. They once had territorial disputes with the Weir family and the Fowler family. The Fowler family ruled the entire Prince's Pass during the era of kings. They defeated the Manwudi family and They demolished the original King's Tomb City and forced them to move the castle to the valley on the east side. The Weir Family's Rusty Desolation Castle and the Spiritual Wine Canyon where we are currently stationed were once their territory."

Lucilis glanced carefully at the old man who called himself "Casvald Manwudi". "The Manwudi family is not prosperous. The Manwudi family, which mainly supports Wangzhong City, has four members, Count Dargoth Manwudi and his wife, Lady Pesany Vance, and their two children. There are two sons, Sir Dickon Manwudi and Quentin Manwudi. If this messenger is really Casvald, then he should be one of the two major branches of the Manwudi family from the Dead Shrimp Valley. The clan leader, that branch had only one clan leader left around the 121st year of the Conquest Calendar, while the Manwudi family of the Red Stone Highlands, another branch of the Manwudi family, had died out in the 117th year of the Conquest Calendar.”

"As expected of Prince Lucilis." Casvald bent down in admiration.

"Tell me why you're here, Sir." Although Valar doesn't like learning, it doesn't mean he's not capable enough. In a very short period of time, Valar clarified the current situation of the Manwudi family.

"Your Highness, the Manwudi family is at the end of its rope." Caswald's voice suddenly became sad. "Lewin 'King'." He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word king. "He drove the family's army to storm the city of Tianji. Both the Earl and Sir Dickon were killed in the battle. The Manwudi family's retainers and knights were almost all lost. Mrs. Pesany couldn't stand the excitement of losing her husband and eldest son, and committed suicide by jumping off the tower. Yes." He looked up suddenly.

"Two princes, the Manwudi family is willing to bow their knees to the Iron Throne and the Varese family." A drop of thick tears slowly fell from the old man's wrinkled face. "Quentin is too young, and the family needs protection. There is no resistance in Wangzhong City. Your Highness, as long as you ride a dragon and land in the castle, the entire Manwudi family will offer our loyalty."

Valar tilted his head, seeming to be thinking. "Sir Caswald, please go and rest first. We will give you an answer soon."

"If the bloodline of the Manwudi family can continue, the family will always be loyal to the Varese family and the Iron Throne." The old man almost fell to the ground and could only be carried back by the Silver Blood Army and the knights of Blackport.

"Your Highness, this may be a trap." Seeing the old man being carried away, Count Lando Kafulun said immediately. "The Dornish people are capricious. The codes of the nobles and the sacred laws are no different from waste paper in their eyes. I can guarantee that as long as you leave the dragon's body, the poison and the assassin will follow you."

"I know." Valar pointed to his head. "Although I don't have the wisdom of my elder brother, I still have a brain, Xiaolu, Earl Edric, is there anyone in the army who knows the members of the Manwudi family?"

"Yes." Lord Edric Dondarrion recalled. "Ser Oberyn Standal, who has met all the members of House Menwoodi."

"Earl Randyll, could you please take Sir Oberyn to see the identity of Sir Casvald?" Valar held his chin and thought for a while.

"As you wish." Count Randyll Cavron immediately walked towards Oberyn's tent. This Dornish knight became rich after receiving Ronzel's reward. Not only did he successfully marry Teclis The daughter of Hess also has new attendants and peasant soldiers.

After learning what had happened, Oberyn readily responded to the order and quickly came to the conclusion that the old man was indeed Ser Casvald Manwood. But Oberyn also advised not to trust all the great nobles of Dorne easily. Breaking promises is more common for them than drinking water. Especially these Dornish lords who have long been at odds with the border lords.

"Sir, should we contact Prince Longzel." Seeing Valarr lost in thought, Luslis suggested. "No need." Valar raised his hand. "There's no need to bother brother about this little thing." He glanced at the increasingly bright moonlight outside the tent. "Xiaolu, help me tell Sir Casvald Manwudi that I need their sincerity. Quentin Manwudi needs to come to Liquor Canyon. I will appoint a great nobleman to be his adoptive father, and give Tigaro another Write a letter to confirm the true situation of the Manwudi family."

"Understood." Lucilis immediately ran out of the tent to complete the tasks assigned by Valar.

Valar was silent for a while, then spread out a piece of paper on the table and started writing.

"It's so annoying to use your brain. Brother, when will you come back?"

lamented the young prince.

Dorne fell into greater chaos at the beginning of the 123rd year of the Conquest Calendar. King Albin of the Dayne family tentatively attacked Sandstone City, but was defeated by Yronwood's remaining army. At the critical moment, Obaya led the cavalry. Arriving at the battlefield, he tore apart the cavalry of the Kogel family who were chasing the defeated troops in one fell swoop. Count Kogel was beheaded by Obaya on the spot.

After seeing the spearmen holding the earl's head, Sandstone was forced to open the city and surrender. But after Obaya led the army north, the new Earl Kogel immediately killed the illegitimate son of the Dain family Governor and raised the Iron Gate flag of the Yronwood family again. The furious King Albin once again summoned his troops and vowed to make damned Kogel pay the price.

The rangers of House Uller harassing House Martell once again caused great damage. They burned several villages, stole a large amount of food, and fled before the main force of Martell arrived, leaving only the cursed god. Earl Elion of En City.

Levene Yronwood lost his troops at Skyreach, but eventually captured the fortress below Skyreach. The heir of the Fuller family was killed by a javelin, and the remaining troops of the Fuller family were forced to huddle in Skyreach.

The situation remains chaotic.

The troops stationed in Spiritual Wine Canyon also sent out small teams to tentatively encroach on the villages and oasis southward. They were surprised to find that many villages under the control of the Yronwood family no longer had young men and women. Large areas of fields were deserted, and many former oases had once again degraded into sand.

Maybe this is the price of war.
