Chapter 229 Display

The mighty Riverside Army set off from High Court and headed east. After arriving at the Cider Hall, it was divided into two armies, the north and the south.

The Southern Route Army, commanded by Lord Matus Rowan, will travel southeast along the Boat River, enter the Dorne Marches, and then follow the Bone Road into Cape Wrath.

The Northern Route Army, commanded by Lord Randyll Tarly, went northeast along the Mander River and advanced towards the Kingswood. It passed through Fallenwood City and Bronzegate City and reached the core of the Stormlands - Storm's End Keep.

It can be clearly seen that the North Route Army is the main force of this attack. In fact, the distribution of troops is also the same. The North Route Army has a total of 25,000 people, while the South Route Army has only 15,000 people.

Naturally, Samwell followed Earl Randyll and served in the Northern Route Army, and at the same time learned how to command a large army in combat.

After more than half a month of trekking, the Reach North Route Army arrived at Green Valley City. This is already the easternmost point of the Reach, and further ahead is the Royal Forest.

The Royal Forest is the private hunting area of ​​the royal family. Of course, there will be no people living in the dense forest, and there will be no castle. There are only hunters and the notorious group of thieves - the Royal Forest Brotherhood.

After passing through the royal forest, you officially enter the storm land.

In fact, in history, it was normal for the River Reach army to invade the Stormlands, and of course, the reverse was also true.

The Storm King Alan even expanded his territory to the source of the Mander River - Highgarden.

Margaery plans to imitate this queen.

Could it be something similar to [Wildfire]?

But Duren did not give up and built another castle on the ruins of the castle. However, when the howling wind and huge waves roared out of the bay, the castle was shattered again.

Only women can participate in the "Female Court", regardless of age or origin. Queen Alexa once encouraged them to express their problems and help them as much as possible.

Samwell expressed strong support for this. After all, Queen Alysanne was not only wise, but also extremely fertile. She gave birth to a total of thirteen children for King Renrui throughout her life...

Samwell was immediately disappointed, but still refused to give up: "Let's try it at Storm's End, maybe we can succeed."

"I'm afraid not. However, smaller castles can still be dealt with." Earl Landau gave his judgment.

Samwell looked a little dissatisfied.

Cleopatra circled around a few times, then turned back to the river to continue hunting.

But this grudge did not dissipate because of this. During the Reaver War, "Lord Inflatable Fish" refused to go to King's Landing. Instead of marching to the Stormlands, he fought with Storm's End for a whole year, probably because he wanted to achieve something.

An achievement that the river bend rulers in history have never achieved——

"Impossible." Melisandre still shook her head. "Storm's End was built by Duren, the first Storm King. He won the love of Yi Ni, the daughter of the sea god and the goddess of wind. But Yi Ni's parents could not accept that their daughter would

They dedicated their chastity to a mortal, and they could not accept that women would suffer birth, old age, sickness and death like mortals from now on, so they brought strong winds and huge waves and destroyed the castle of Storm King Duren.

Earl Landao also stared at Bailong for a long time and asked:

"Can you ride now?"

When the angry gods once again poured out their storm and fury on the castle, they could no longer shake it at all.

"Okay, Lord Caesar, you can start at any time."

Bang!

The herring was dropped next to Samwell. It seemed to be a gift from the white dragon to its owner.

"The amount of gunpowder can be increased," said Bachelor Coburn, "and holes can be dug under the city wall and gunpowder can be buried, which can better shake its foundation."

Samwell had no choice but to agree to let her accompany the army, but asked her not to mention the Lord of Light in the army, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Earl Landau was also so shocked that his eyelids twitched and he was momentarily distracted.

"Don't worry about Storm's End," Lord Landau said, "step by step, first Fallwood City, then Bronzegate City, then Hay Hall, Harvest Hall, Stonefort... wait until we capture all the other places in Stormland.

Castle, it’s not too late to come back and plan for Storm’s End.”

Now that the River Bend army has made a comeback, I don't know if they can complete this historic breakthrough.

Of course he had long heard that there was a witch who believed in R'hllor, the Lord of Light, in his son's territory, but out of respect for the lord's autonomy, he had not said much. This time his son mentioned that he wanted to show

Magic, he subconsciously thought it was the work of this witch.

"There is no chance of success." Melisandre said firmly.

Samwell could only regret not memorizing the TNT formula before he traveled through time...

But I didn't expect it to be the masterpiece of a bachelor.

"Yes." Bachelor Qyburn waved to the apprentice beside him, and the boy ran towards the mound in the distance with a torch.

However, although such gunpowder cannot change the shape of war, it is still feasible to use it to blast city walls.

Samwell thought to himself, this time she took the initiative to come here, wouldn't she also want to use this method to conquer Storm's End Castle?

Samwell smiled and said:

"The magic that can capture Storm's End."

"Yes. The more you eat, the faster you grow." Samwell said with a smile.

But Melisandre came with Maester Qyburn herself, and she even said that Samwell would need her help.

Perhaps this is the limitation of black powder.

Samwell knew that his fiancée’s idol was Queen Alysanne of Jaehaerys, the King of Humanity. The most famous queen in the history of the Targaryen dynasty often traveled around the country and held "women's courts" at the same time.

Storm's End Castle was captured.

In fact, Samwell did not summon the red-robed witch this time. After all, the soldiers in the army were all believers of the Seven Gods, so it would be inappropriate for her, a priest of the Lord of Light, to come over.

"What on earth do you want to show me?" Count Landau couldn't help but ask as he looked at his mysterious son.

At this time, there was a roar from the Lamboon River behind him. Samwell looked back and saw Cleopatra grabbing a huge herring four feet long from the water and roaring excitedly.

For this reason, the queen has also won the universal support of women in the seven countries.

When Count Landau saw that his son was looking for a bachelor instead of the witch in red robe next to him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Are you ready?" Samwell stepped forward and asked Maester Qyburn.

But after seeing the gunpowder display and experiment with his own eyes, Samwell couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although the power had been greatly improved compared to the last "fireworks", it was still far from the battlefield weapon he expected.

Instead, he climbed into Melisandre's bed and gave birth to a shadow with her, thus killing Ser Cortanai Penros, the acting lord of Storm's End Castle, causing the soldiers defending the city to collapse without a fight.

But he didn't use a strong attack.

Outside Green Valley City, on the banks of the Lamborn River, Earl Randyll followed Samwell to a remote hilly area.

"I haven't tried it yet, but it should be almost there." Samwell looked at the white dragon, which was estimated to be six or seven feet long, and wondered whether he should try to ride it.

Margaery just came to see him off, and Green Valley City was the last stop. After entering the Kingswood, she would no longer follow him, but would instead travel around the major territories in the river.

Samwell fell into silence. He looked at Melisandre's sparkling eyes, always feeling that she had something to say.

"Can it blow down the walls of Storm's End?" Samwell asked, feeling a little guilty.

But after waiting for a while, nothing happened.

"That's right." Samwell smiled and nodded, "No matter how impregnable Storm's End is, it is impossible to defend it until the end of the world. Even if the bastard Duke is determined to defend it until the end of the world, when we occupy the fertile land and dense jungle of the Stormlands

, his solitary castle is of no consequence.”

Samwell smiled and waved his hand to the sky to express his gratitude.

It is true that Storm's End has never been captured in history, but Samwell knows that in the original books, Stannis Baratheon captured the castle.

Earl Randyll watched with confusion as the bachelor's apprentice ran to the top of the mound, seemed to light something on fire, and then ran back again.

Finally, the Storm King built the seventh castle with the help of Brandon the Builder and the Children of the Forest. This time, they weaved powerful magic into the boulders of the city wall.

Lord Caesar, this is a castle that even the gods cannot do anything about, and the power of mortals is worthless in front of it."

This woman is really persistent in order to get into her bed...

During the reign of Gaelth Gardener III, Highgarden also conquered all the Stormlands territory north of the rainforest except Storm's End Castle.

The subjects of the Stormlands advised him to return his wife to the gods, or to move the castle inland away from the sea, but the Storm King ignored them all. He rebuilt the castle five more times, each one taller and stronger than the last, but unfortunately

, mortal castles are always vulnerable to the wrath of gods.

Earl Landau frowned subconsciously after hearing the magic. The Lord of Horn Hill instinctively distrusted things like magic and witchcraft, but when he thought of the dragon hatched by his son, he shut his mouth again.

When everyone returned to the camp with their trophies, Margery greeted them with a sweet smile.

"The power is good." Earl Landau seemed very satisfied.

"Sir, your dragon has grown so big!" Bachelor Coburn couldn't hide his surprise.

The two realms fought for thousands of years, one ebbing and the other ebbing, with one advancing and the other retreating, until Aegon the Conqueror Targaryen unified the continent of Westeros.

When the army was preparing to go out in Highgarden, Bachelor Qyburn sent a raven to deliver a letter, saying that there was a great breakthrough in gunpowder research, so he ordered Qyburn to come to Green Valley City to join him immediately, preparing for the upcoming attack.

This new weapon was used in the Stormlands War that started.

Samwell will not take his "family" to the battlefield, and he does not want to become the second Renly Baratheon.

Just when Earl Landau was confused, the mound in front suddenly exploded. The thunderous sound was like a bolt from the blue, shaking the wilderness. Even the war horses in the camp in the distance were startled and neighed.

"Okay, let's get started."

That night, Samwell tried his best to help his fiancee's dream.

The army rested in Green Valley City for a day before setting off again.

Continuing eastward along the Lamboon River, you can see a lush forest.

That is Yulin.
