Wuwuwu——

The horn of war sounded again, like the call of death.

The eye slits in the helmet limited his vision, and Lord Eddard could only see straight ahead.

Arrows shot out from the top of the city, and rocks spun and flew overhead, slamming into the ground and soldiers, shattering steel and flesh.

Tianji City is just ahead.

Under the personal leadership of the King's Hand and Duke Eddard Stark, densely packed soldiers swarmed in and embarked on this road full of blood and fire.

The gray direwolf battle flag flutters in the wind, carrying the pride and courage from the north, moving forward, and forward again.

"For Winterfell!" Lord Eddard shouted as he rushed to the base of the wall, and then began to climb.

"For Winterfell!" Countless northern warriors responded and followed in the footsteps of their lord.

bite!

Suddenly, an arrow hit his upper armor, just shy of his eye. Duke Eddard was startled and almost missed his shot.

So next, the king of Longyan Dayue issued an extremely outrageous order.

"Quick! Retake the city wall! Close the city gate!"

But soon, he stabilized his body again and continued to move upward.

Lord Eddard knew it was a battering ram hitting the door.

"Your Majesty!" The Dornish man crouched on the ground, "We are willing to surrender!"

Tianji City has been breached!

The top of Tianji City was already in sight. Duke Eddard stretched out his hand to grab it, but seemed to touch a wreath of winter snow roses. It was his sister's favorite, but there were sharp thorns hidden among the wreaths, leaving wounds on his skin.

Blood slowly flowed down his fingers.

"I'm afraid something has happened in Tianji City." Samwell said thoughtfully.

Finally, when the Dornish people began to pay attention to other climbers, Lord Eddard's pressure suddenly eased.

"These people marched neatly and orderly. They didn't look like ordinary civilians at all. They were probably well-trained soldiers pretending to be soldiers." Count Yohn seemed to be worried about his own image, so he explained a little more.

Even if you never use your brain, you can't just pick it off and give it away...

This guy should be called "Gou Sheng John" instead.

Finally, an arrow pierced the connection between his breastplate and shoulder armor.

Before he could hold back any golden words, he saw a Dornish envoy being brought up.

Attack again?

How much does that cost?

"The cart may be carrying food, but it may also be shields and spears. As long as they form a shield and spear array around the cart, we will have a headache. Moreover, it is too close to Tianji City. If it attracts people from the city,

The cavalry, we may even have our tails bitten.”

But by chance, he met Joffrey, the "Eternal Emperor".

"Okay! Let's fight into the city!"

Did all the soldiers who died before die in vain?

However, he never expected that the other party not only agreed, but also gave him an even bigger surprise!

What is a surprise?

But after running for a while, he discovered that those Dornishmen were not coming for him, but more like——

"Can't get on?"

Escape?

After Earl Yohn Royce pondered for a moment, he slowly shook his head:

"I still think there's something wrong with this team. It's probably a decoy."

He killed them.

While he was attracting firepower, the other soldiers had a chance to rush upward.

"That's enough!" Joffrey became more and more impatient, "Why are you making such a fuss? Even if the Dornishmen don't come out, at worst we can attack again."

There were more warriors below who climbed over the city wall and climbed up.

"Count Matus, the Red Viper has surrendered. Of course I have to give him some dignity."

Duke Eddard sat on the battlement for a while and finally regained his breath. Although one shoulder was still so painful that he couldn't lift it, all the illusions in front of him had disappeared.

It was just a trick for him to send an envoy to surrender. Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, he knew that Tianji City could no longer be defended, so he thought of pretending to surrender so that the opponent would temporarily stop attacking so that he could organize his troops to evacuate and escape.

He could never forget their faces.

His sister's face before her death swayed before his eyes, leaving him unsure of what to do.

When King Joffrey heard the news, he immediately wiped away his sadness and became happy and contented.

That time was much more thrilling than now.

——————————

"The city is broken! The city is broken!"

When he heard the withdrawal horn coming from outside the city, even Prince Oberyn, the "Red Viper", couldn't believe his ears.

In particular, the North City Gate slowly opened under the spotlight.

He hung the shield behind him again and continued climbing.

The smell of war.

Samwell was not interested in the Red Viper. He was thinking about the Fowler family's treasury in Tianji City...

Duke Ed gave up checking and continued climbing up without any distractions.

The wise and mighty Lord Joffrey is posing, thinking about what to say at this moment, so that the maester can record it and pass it down through the ages.

This feeling made him feel as if he had returned to the Tower of Bliss, back to the blood bed.

In fact, in his opinion, this battle is basically over, and the army will enter the city to clean up the battlefield and clean up the remaining resistance. This kind of thing can be done even if it is left to a dog.

If you don't fight, don't fight. It won't have any impact on him anyway. It's impossible for the team to transport gold, so it doesn't matter whether you hit him or not.

"Let's rush into the city! Maybe we can catch the Red Viper!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The prince is willing to surrender to you. I just ask that you give him a dignity and let his men stop attacking so that the prince can leave the city and surrender."

Count Yohn also sent a dozen riders to capture some prisoners for questioning.

The Duke of Metz took the opportunity to compliment:

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. It's a miracle that the Dornish people can persist for so long, but in the end, they will still surrender at your feet."

They are all warriors of the north.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush!" Count Yohn's expression changed and he immediately ordered a retreat.

Hearing this, all the nobles went crazy.

"Your Majesty! Why are you ordering the withdrawal of troops?" A group of nobles surrounded the king and kept protesting against this order.

Samwell looked at the grain transport team passing under the dunes and asked.

Yes, we're coming up!

Samwell shrugged and said no more.

The two have very different purposes, but they hit it off immediately.

…

The Northerners were fighting at the top of the city while shouting loudly, trying to break the Dornish people's fighting spirit.

Just when Count Yohn was about to give up the attack completely, the south gate of Tianji City suddenly opened, and a group of people ran out in a hurry.

The blood loss and pain made him a little dizzy.

Duke Eddard groaned, immediately broke the arrow, removed the excessive length, then ignored it and continued climbing.

"Your Majesty! Even if you want the Dornish people to surrender, you can't withdraw your troops. The most you can do is suspend the attack!"

Keep climbing.

In this way, Samwell and his party "escorted" the grain transport convoy to Tianji City.

The screams of pain, the trembling war cry, the crackle of flames... everything was so familiar.

The ground was getting further and further away, and the city was getting closer and closer. Arrows came like a rainstorm, and Duke Ed had to stop in mid-air and set up a shield with one hand.

At this time, after more than twenty days of continuous bloody battles, Tianji City had finally stripped away all its defenses, and was displayed in front of the Iron Throne army like a girl without the ability to resist.

Most of the northern wall of Skyreach City has been controlled by the Iron Throne's army. The Dornishmen are retreating steadily, and defeat is imminent.
To be continued...
