章 359: Chapter 359
RONALD HILL POV
He was woken out of his sleep with a kick to the butt.
His eyes flew opened and he flopped around a bit, looking for any enemies before he saw the barely restrained laughter of his friends.
He gave them an unimpressed look and they burst into laughter.
"Pack you bags Ron." The eldest of them named Jack said while he packed his own "We're moving."
"Where?" he asked as he yawned and blinked his eyes. He didn't knew much about strategy but he knew that after the Knights of the Vale joined the Northmen, their combined forces outnumbered their own by a good amount.
"Somewhere that's not here." Another of friend named Tygget replied and he rolled his eyes.
"I for one am glad to be out of this hole." Tim, the second youngest one of them replied "The whores here have all got pox of some kind or another."
"Whores… that's all you think about." Tygget said and they all started laughing at Tim who grumbled something under his breath but otherwise remained silent.
"Guys. Do none of you know where we are going?" he asked.
At his words the tent became silent. And not the good kind of silent.
Finally Jack put his bag close to his and whispered "There are rumors going on around the tent." Jack said.
"What kind of rumors?" he asked.
Jack peeked out of the tent for any passerby before speaking "It's not been made official but… you remember the army that Ser Lucian was gathering outside Casterly Rock."
"As if I would forget something like that." He said while rolling his eyes. "I'm not Tim you know."
"Hey…" Tim protested from the other side of the tent but when Jack didn't smile at him, he started to feel a sense of foreboding.
Jack looked outside the tent once more before saying "Don't tell this to anyone. But there are rumors that the Bloody beast entered the Westerlands and tore through that army as well. We're on our own now."
It was as if someone had dropped a bucket of ice cold water on him.
He stared at Jack, hoping for some kind of sign that this was a bad and twisted joke.
Jack continued to stare back at him and he frowned "But… that's… how would he even cross the Golden Tooth."
Because he had seen the castle before when they were coming to Riverrun. And when he looked at the Castle and heard about it's history, he remembered thinking that no army would be able to take the castle.
And now…
"These rumors legit?" Tim asked, his face a bit serious as well.
Jack nodded. Being a veteran, Jack had connections to the other veterans that he and the others in the tent didn't. Which meant that he was the first one to hear about things like these.
Jack nodded and he grimaced.
"Are we fucked then?" he asked.
"What about Casterly Rock. Or Lannisport?" Tim asked "Did those Northern bastards attack them?"
Jack nodded "From what little I've heard. Casterly Rock is under siege now."
"Hold on! How did the Tooth fall in the first place?" Tygget asked.
"They left a woman in charge of the castle." Tim scoffed "What else did you expect."
"We going to Casterly Rock now?" he asked and Jack nodded.
"Most likely. And I don't think we'll have to run in this one."
"Fuck!" Tygget cursed "You think the Northmen and knights of the Vale will chase us?"
"After what the mountain and his men did to the poor smallfolk? I wouldn't be surprised if they did."
"Fucking the Mountain." Tygget said "Do you know anything about the Riverlanders. Is that idiot Edmure Tully raising an army again?"
Jack shrugged "No idea. Just that Blackfish and his men are hitting out lines. Killing our scouts. Burning our food and all that. But I would not be surprised if the Riverlanders raise an army once again."
"That's three armies." He said, wondering if deserting would be a better option.
He looked at the friends and they had similar expressions on their faces.
No one said it out loud but everyone was thinking it.
Because as much as they feared Lord Tywin. They feared getting attacked by three fucking armies even more.
"Be fast." Jack said in the end "We need to pack the tent too. And you don't want to be late."
They all nodded and quickly finished packing their bags.
And as he packed his bag, he wondered if the Bloody beast would be able to take Casterly Rock.
He had heard that the Castle had never fallen to anyone before but with how good of a commander that man was turning out to be… anything could happen.
