Chapter 169: 168 interception on the road

Chapter 169 168. Interception on the road

In Ed's eyes, the intersection between Lan En and Aaliya was probably the time when he found the lost little girl and taught her some sword skills.

So the Duke of the North didn't understand at all that Lan En got involved in this trouble in the first place because of his little daughter.

Ed and his party were more than twenty people, all equipped with two horses for long-distance running.

But even with two horses, people's endurance is far better than that of horses, and they cannot keep moving forward all day long.

Logically speaking, in order to avoid the inevitable interception from the enemy, Lan En and his party should try their best to choose a time when there is no one on the road.

But this is what the theory says, but in practice it is far from possible.

The lighting conditions in ancient times would make one's eyes dark even at night in the city, let alone on such wild roads.

If you dont want horses to break their hoofs and people to break their necks, its more practical to travel during the day.

Where are we now?

Amidst the jolting of the horses, Lan quickly caught up with Ed and asked.

He knew that he had passed by this place on his way to King's Landing, but he did not know who this place belonged to in terms of territorial division.

We have reached the border of the kings territory, and if we go about twenty kilometers further, we will enter the Riverlands.

Ed responded while panting, long-term riding is also physical work.

According to Westeros strange seasonal division method, its already autumn.

According to the bachelors who observe the astronomical phenomena, after several years of summer, they are about to face a terrifying long winter night.

And this time of year is just the small transition between the long summer and the cold winter.

But even though its just autumn, the nights are already cool.

Moist heat was sprayed out from the horses' big nostrils. The shirts under the riders' leather armor were first soaked with sweat, and then cooled by the night wind that got in through the gaps in the leather armor.

Seeing the outline of the sun sinking from the treetops on both sides of the King's Road, Ed gave the order to set up camp.

"Jory, make camp now. The light is almost gone."

Yes, huh - my lord.

The guard captain's half-length black hair had completely stuck to his face. When he dismounted, his legs were shaking a little. Although he recovered quickly, it can still be seen that his riding skills are a bit poor among the group. That batch.

The section of road Ed chose has no villages or shops in front or back. He chose it specifically to avoid staying in hotels, meeting people, and reducing risks.

According to him, the kidnapped Tyrion Lannister met his wife in the inn on the King's Road.

Then it became the trigger for the whole thing to explode.

After listening to this, Lan En deeply agreed with his opinion of choosing to camp halfway.

There is a need for patrol tonight. Lan En reminded Ed next to him.

"I still remember the general diagram of the territory's division. The junction between the Riverlands and the King's Territory is very narrow and has no depth. Lannister's military power will penetrate easily at this junction. And once you enter the Riverlands, you can Got the protection of my wifes hometown castle.

The implication is that there is a high chance of encountering enemy interception troops here. Not just because its easy, but because the opportunity is rare.

Ed nodded in agreement.

"Jolly, Hayward, and Vere. Ten of you camped here. The rest are better horsemen than them. We are on the King's Road, scouting forward and backward for five kilometers."

Ed picked these people whose legs were still shaking after dismounting.

The people who were left camping also knew their situation, so they began to remove the tarpaulins and debris from the cart, preparing to open up a small camp in the woods on both sides of the road. Qiao Li frowned when he was carrying a box on the cart: "It's a bit heavy. Why would you carry such a thing on a long ride?"

Thinking about it was fruitless, and Qiao Li was also very tired. So after placing the box in the open space where the camp was to be made, I stopped caring about it.

Since the backward road has already been passed once, it is less dangerous, so only five people were sent there.

Ed and Lan, along with five other members of the **** team, patrolled forward.

Everyone holds a torch, and the patrol speed is much more relaxed than rushing on the road. It can also be regarded as a short rest.

The trembling firelight danced out shadows with teeth and claws, and the sound of the night wind blowing through the woods was mixed with the sounds of birds and animals, making it lonely and deep.

The five soldiers behind him were all very tired, but Lan En was still communicating with Ed.

Because young people have different physiques than ordinary people, it is easy for them to bear the physical exertion consumed by cycling.

As for Ed Stark, the big man in the north, it is because of his sense of responsibility and honor that he supports his tired body.

His age is not considered young in today's era.

If Lannister wants to intercept you with a small force, he will definitely send a powerful knight. Who do you think it will be?

Lan Ens voice sounded very soft in the night wind.

His silver-white hair reflected a soft silver light against the background of the torch. This layer of soft light made him look so handsome that he didn't look like a human being.

Eddard couldn't hide his tiredness and responded: "Gregor Clegane. It must be him."

The moment the name was spoken, Lann glanced back at the five soldiers.

Although they didn't make any conspicuous display, Lan En was still keenly aware of the hooves of the horses under them.

You noticed it too. Ed smiled bitterly. "No other Lannister knight could inspire so much fear among their enemies."

The five soldiers behind him lowered their heads in shame.

Lan knew it wasn't their fault. On the ancient battlefield, anyone who saw [Magic Mountain]'s physique and the equipment on him would feel like they had seen a ghost.

The armor that an ordinary soldier couldn't even lift was put on his body. He probably wouldn't be able to be pierced by anyone standing there with a spear.

A big sword that ordinary people can barely lift, he can hold it with one hand and swing it against the enemy on the battlefield.

His younger brother Sandor Clegane, Lann felt that during the fight, the opponent's pure strength was almost 80% of his.

Gregor Clegane should be able to match him in terms of single strength.

If Gregor Clegane is paired with an armored war horse, his weight and impact can even directly match the charging bison!

Eddard also accepted the fears of his men. The Clegane family's physical differences were already well-known in the Seven Kingdoms, and there was nothing difficult to admit.

The group of people continued to patrol the front of the road at a constant speed, and the five-kilometer warning range was quickly completed under the hooves of the horses.

But just when Ed was about to turn the horse's head and return to the camp, Lan En behind him moved his ears. He frowned and looked into the woods in front of him.

There, there was no sound of birds or animals in the woods.

Ed, run to the camp, full speed.

Lan En maintained a calm expression and whispered as Ed passed by him.
