re: GOT Season 8 Episode 4 Discussion

You have to remember in the BotB Lord Royce only sent his Calvary which was a small part of the Vale Army. The strength of their Army is not only the Calvary but the ground soldiers that are well armored and supposed to be trained to battle under the worst of conditions in combat. This was mentioned several times on the show by different people. Robb said if he had the Knights of the Vale under his command he couldn’t be beat. Littlefinger talked them up and so did Tywin once when he was discussing the fact that he hopes the Vale stays out of the War of the 5 kings. There are still quite a few Vale soldiers with Robin Arryn. I don’t know if they will use them or not.

Melisandre went back to Essos she could have sent word about the impending battle(s) to the 2ns Sons and for all we know they could be on their way already.
Not sure about many Tullies being left. Should be some Frey’s left though they are pretty much worthless. Should be the full Dornish Army left as well as they never got on the ships Dany sent because Euron intercepted them.
What I hope doesn’t happen is Daario shows up with like 15,000 2nd Sons that to me would just be unrealistic I think they had 5,000 or so when Dany left them in Essos. These guys can write whatever they want though.
We are getting someone to either show up and ‘save the day’ or something is going to have to happen to have either the Lannister Army or Golden Company to turn on Cersei before or during the battle. I could see the dragons lighting the place up with fire and Euron tucking tail and trying to bail once he thinks all is lost.

What I want to know is where are Cersei, Euron, and the mountain riding off to in the trailer I doubt they are going for a joy ride. There has to be a reason they are either going to talk to someone or to ferry their troops somewhere but why would they leave their strong position?
