Davon led less than a thousand Lannister soldiers through the town of Lannisport. After arriving at the street where he had designed fortifications, he immediately broke these soldiers into pieces and ambushed the complex streets in a team of ten.
In the alley.
But what surprised him was that after waiting for a long time, he did not see the pursuing Ironborn soldiers. Davon felt that something was wrong, so he immediately sent a small team to investigate.
As a result, a short while later, Davon received a report that the Ironborn had retreated. After hearing the news, he quickly ran back to the port area.
Arriving at the port area, Davon found that the huge fleet covering the entrance to the sea had disappeared, and there were still many longship wreckage floating on the sea in the offshore area. The port area was completely silent. He did not see any people, only corpses scattered everywhere.
and equipment remains.
Da da da!
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from the right side of the port area. It turned out that the Lannister cavalry who had just been responsible for breaking up the rear turned their horses back again when they saw that there were no pursuers behind them.
Seeing his own cavalry, Davon knew that the Ironborn had not gone to Casterly Rock either. He racked his brains and thought,
The Ironborn gave up Lannisport, which was within easy reach. Where did they go?
Early the next morning, Davon was awakened by his guards because their reinforcements had arrived.
Rumble!
Five thousand Western Cavalry lined up majestically in a long queue, coming from the direction of Casterly Rock to Lannisport. This was the force that Adam brought from the Golden Teeth for support.
Adam felt that last time he was slow to return to the West to aid, which led to the fall of Casterly Rock. Therefore, this time, all five thousand West Coast cavalry went into battle lightly, and they rushed back to Lannisport from Golden Teeth City in less than two days.
These 5,000 Western Cavalry originally included 2,000 heavy cavalry, and all their equipment was transported by the slower 5,000 Stormland infantry. They may have only marched halfway.
"What? The squids retreated! Or did they successfully land?
Approximately how many of them are there? Where are they now after leaving Lannisport?"
Adam, who had arrived at Lannisport after a long journey, had just heard Davon finish explaining the current situation, and asked loudly with a surprised look on his face.
"The squids have more than two hundred longships and dozens of captured Lannister fleet warships. I estimate that their number should be around 20,000.
As for where they are now? I also want to know."
Da'von stated his estimate of the strength of the Ironmen, and then regarding the Ironmen's movements, he shook his head repeatedly to express that he did not know.
"They don't want to attack King's Landing directly from Blackwater Bay! No, I have to report this situation to Lord Tywin!"
"Well, Lord Tywin brought all the troops from King's Landing to Harrenhal. It is indeed possible for them to attack King's Landing. After all, they surprised everyone and attacked Lannisport a few months ago."
"Lord Davon, Lord Adam, there is a raven letter from Golden Teeth City!"
While Adam and Davon were having a heated discussion, a cavalryman rode from the direction of Casterly Rock. As soon as he jumped off the horse, he immediately handed a letter to Davon with both hands and opened his mouth to report.
Before Davon stretched out his hand to support Adam who was missing again, he eagerly grabbed the letter and started reading it.
"These sons of bitches! I'll do..."
After reading the letter quickly, Adam ignored the image and spoke the common greetings of Westeros.
"Sir Adam, what's going on?"
"Huh, yesterday, the northern army, numbering at least tens of thousands, camped in front of Golden Tooth City and built siege equipment. It seems that they are really preparing to attack Golden Tooth City."
Hearing Da Feng's question, Adam took a long breath to calm down his emotions and answered.
"Hey, you just brought troops to Lannisport to support them, and they are preparing to attack Golden Teeth City. I always feel like something is wrong!
However, you don’t need to worry too much, there are still 6,000 soldiers defending Golden Tooth City. Unless the northern army dispatches all its troops, it will be impossible to capture Golden Tooth City."
After Da Feng heard this, he seemed to feel like he was being manipulated. However, thinking of the defense power of Golden Tooth City, he felt more at ease and comforted Adam.
"Don't think for the best. The letter said that a giant gray wolf and a group of direwolves were seen appearing below the city.
This time Robb Stark should be leading the army himself. Although the Golden Tooth City has high walls and strong defenses, I am still very worried.
After all, even Casterly Rock, which never fell..."
As soon as Da'von finished speaking, Adam immediately revealed the unfinished information with a worried look on his face.
"You are right, then you should quickly take these cavalry back to Golden Tooth City. If you weren't worried about the squids turning back again, I would have gone with you."
"Well, I'll leave now. By the way, remember to report the situation here to Lord Tywin."
"Don't worry, I'll start writing a report right away."
The five thousand Western Cavalry who had just arrived at Lannisport had not had time to take a good rest. Under the leadership of Adam, they got on their horses again and headed back to Golden Teeth City for reinforcements.
…
Western Fortress, Golden Teeth City.
Rhea, who had reported the situation to Countess Alexa in the main castle early in the morning, climbed onto the wall of Golden Teeth City and asked, "Thank you, there was nothing unusual about the northern army last night, right?"
When a captain in charge of the night watch last night heard the inquiry, he immediately saluted and replied: "Reporting to Lord Rhea, no. Just..."
"Just what?"
Looking at the somewhat hesitant guard captain, Rhea frowned and asked.
"Late last night, there seemed to be some movement from the other side's camp."
When the captain heard Rhea's question, he bit the bullet and spoke out his hesitant words.
"Is there any movement in the other side's camp late at night? Could it be that they are mobilizing troops at night?
Hey, I don’t understand it at all. Forget it, I’ll come and check on the situation tonight.”
After hearing the captain's answer, Rhea scratched his head and thought unsuccessfully, then raised his head and said to him,
"No matter what tricks the Northern Army plays, as long as our Golden Tooth City is here, they can't even think of entering the Western Territory!
Thank you for your hard work. Please go down and rest early when the next shift brother comes!"
"Yes, Lord Rhea."
After seeing the guard captain retreat, Rhea began patrolling the city wall. As a fortress-level castle, Golden Teeth City has sufficient reserves of food, grass and weapons, and is fully capable of fighting a protracted war that lasts for years.
After the inspection, Rhea, who was very satisfied with his own battle preparations, jumped up on a wall with a thought.
He looked at the northern army camp with smoke rising from the mountains, and couldn't help but fantasize in his mind,
He had blocked the King in the North, who had been winning consecutive battles for the past few months, from the Golden Teeth City for a long time, making him famous in Westeros.
That night, Rhea waited early on the wall of Golden Teeth City, but as a result, there was no movement from the northern camp at the foot of the mountain.
Although the temperature in the west is much higher than that in the north, it is still very cool late at night when the mountain wind blows from Golden Tooth City on the top of the mountain.
Gulu!
Feeling the chill, Rhea had just taken a sip of wine to keep out the cold when he heard movement from the northern camp down the mountain.
After waiting for a long time, he immediately opened his eyes to observe. Through the large bonfire in the northern camp, Rhea seemed to see some surging figures. Due to the distance, he could not see what they were doing at all.
"The five of you go down the mountain to explore the enemy's camp, and be careful to spread out and hide."
After thinking for a while, Rhea called five scouts and assigned them the task of scouting the enemy camp.
After the five scouts nodded and accepted the order, with the help of the city wall soldiers, they slowly landed under the Golden Tooth City wall in five hanging baskets.
Haloxylon ammodendron!
Rhea was looking over his shoulder to watch the five scouts successfully descending to the city, when his ears suddenly heard a subtle sound coming from near the city wall.
But now that the night was thick, he couldn't see clearly at all, so he took a torch from a soldier beside him and threw it in the direction of the source of the sound.
As the torch kept spinning in the air, the flickering light barely illuminated the surrounding area. Through the light, Rhea saw a pair of egg-sized green eyes in the woods beside the city wall.
After reacting, Rhea's eyes widened immediately, and he shouted in panic: "Pull them up quickly! Pull them up quickly!"
Hoo, ho, ho!
The torch that fell to the ground was not extinguished. Under its illumination, huge gray or black figures were seen quickly emerging from the woods and heading straight for the five scouts under the city wall.
ah!!!
The scout who was closest to the woods had just stretched out his left foot from the hanging basket and stepped on the ground when he heard an exclamation from above, "Be careful in front of you." He raised his head and looked ahead, and immediately let out a short and frightened cry.
.
Tear!
Three direwolves, which were about the same size as war horses, rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye. The wolf's mouth full of sharp teeth bit his left shoulder, right waist, and left leg fiercely, and then tore them apart.
A large amount of blood was poured on the hanging basket. The three direwolves each held part of the prey in their mouths and ran back towards the woods from whence they came.
The results of the other three scouts were similar. After letting out a brief scream, they were torn apart by three direwolves.
Finally, there was a scout who didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky. There was only one direwolf that attacked him, but...
"Ah! Save me, save me..."
Finally, the scout who was bitten by the direwolf let out a loud and shrill scream. As the direwolf disappeared in the woods, the screams gradually weakened and faded away.
Gulu!
Rhea, who hurriedly took his bow and loaded the arrow, had just pulled the bow string when he discovered that the direwolves that had attacked his scouts like lightning had disappeared.
He remembered that the idea of going to conduct reconnaissance in person flashed through his mind just now, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and swallowed a large mouthful of saliva nervously.
"Don't worry, as long as we don't leave the city, those direwolves pose no threat to us. Although they are indeed larger, they are just beasts.
Hehe, if you really have the ability, you could climb the wall and come in to eat us!"
Looking at the pale-faced soldiers guarding the city around him, Rhea pretended to be relaxed and joked to ease the atmosphere.
The soldiers defending the city were frightened by the huge and ferocious direwolves. After thinking about Rhea's words carefully, they realized that this was true, and their expressions slowly returned to their original state.
After this incident, Rhea no longer wanted to investigate what the northern army was doing. Anyway, they were not preparing to attack Golden Teeth City.
After instructing the city guards responsible for the night watch to be careful, he returned to the comfortable room in the main castle to rest.
For the next two consecutive nights, the northern army made the same noise. Originally, it was thought that they were mobilizing troops, but judging from the amount of smoke from the meals during the day, it seemed that their number had not decreased.
As a result, the battle situation in Golden Teeth City has been in a stalemate without even a probing attack.
…
Adam, who was returning with 5,000 cavalry troops for reinforcements, met 5,000 Stormland infantry near Sarsfield City, who were marching to Lannisport with provisions and baggage.
After giving the order to the five ignorant infantry commanders to return to Golden Teeth City, Adam led the cavalry troops and continued to throw away the cumbersome infantry troops and took the lead in returning to the aid of Golden Teeth City.
Due to the continuous horseback riding, the Western Cavalry troops were exhausted. It took them three full days to reach the Hejian Avenue, which is half a riding day away from Golden Tooth City and is located between the Tengshi Mountains and the Golden Mountains.
Valley section.
Because this section of the valley is sandwiched between two mountain ranges, the road is low and narrow, and can only accommodate five war horses traveling side by side.
Logically speaking, Adam should send out reconnaissance cavalry to check for safety on a dangerous road like this before leading his troops through.
But this was within the safe Western Territory, and they had just passed through here a few days ago, so Adam did not add additional exploration tasks to the already tired cavalry.
In his opinion, even if the northern army really captures the Golden Tooth City, before the city is defeated, there will definitely be people from the Golden Tooth City fleeing to Sarsfield City or Casterly Rock City behind them.
They did not see any fleeing people along the way, so Adam led his army directly into the valley section without any scruples.
This valley section is very long and narrow, and it took about an hour of horseback riding to get close to the exit of the valley section. Adam, who was riding at the forefront, could even vaguely see the Golden Tooth City in the distance.
Aww! Aww, aw...
Suddenly, a terrifying giant wolf that was far larger than a war horse jumped out from the exit of the valley section. It looked up to the sky and let out a long howl. The melodious echo of the wolf howl continued to echo in the valley.
Boom, boom!
Blah, blah!
The Western Cavalry, which was marching like a long dragon in the narrow valley, were suddenly frightened by the loud noise above their heads and stopped.
They looked up at the source of the sound and saw large orange flames rising at the top of the valley behind them. A large amount of exploded gravel fell down, blocking the road in the valley behind them.
The last dozen or so cavalrymen in the Western Cavalry queue were buried under the rubble as they were unable to dodge. At the same time as the explosion sounded, densely packed enemy figures appeared on the mountains on both sides.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
Countless arrows were shot from above like a downpour. Many logs and rolling stones were pushed down by the enemy troops on the mountains on both sides.
Ah! Ah!
The 5,000 Western Cavalrymen suddenly fell into chaos, and some people were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. Logs as thick as pillars and rolling stones as big as washbasins rolled down from the mountain, smashing the bones of men and horses to pieces and killing them.
"There is an ambush. If you want to survive, rush forward with me! Rush out!"
There was no time to think about where the enemy came from. Adam, who was ambushed, roared with all his strength, drew his sword, and rushed towards the exit of the valley, which was just around the corner.
At the exit of the valley, fifteen direwolves wearing metal wolf armor appeared behind the bloody wind roaring to the sky. Behind them, there were thousands of Winterfell's elite spearmen armed to the teeth, quietly
Waiting in formation.
call!
Woo!
As the long roar signal indicating the attack ended, Xue Feng took a deep breath of air.
At the same time, it felt the teleportation in its heart, and after letting out a low roar at its wolves, it charged directly towards the Western Cavalry rushing from the valley.
Fifteen direwolves, including Nymeria and Lady, followed closely and began their war debut in Westeros.
"Use the crossbow and shoot freely!"
Looking at the oncoming giant wolves with extremely oppressive size, Adam pulled out a crossbow engraved with the lion emblem from the saddle and gave his order loudly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The twenty Dorsey cavalry beside and behind Adam simultaneously aimed at the giant white wolf charging at the front, pulled the trigger and fired their crossbows.
The giant white wolf was of course Xue Feng, whose body was surrounded by white ice mist. When it saw the human on the opposite side taking out the weapon it still remembered, it immediately used the magic power in its body to use the ice armor.
Driven by magic power, the white ice mist quickly condensed into diamond-shaped bright ice crystals, tightly wrapping the blood wind.
Ding, ding, ding!
More than twenty crossbow arrows hit Xue Feng's huge body, and were easily deflected by Bing Kai, who had super strong defense, making a series of crisp collision sounds.
Charged against the bloody wind of crossbow arrows, not even a trace of the ice armor on its body was left. When it was about to approach the Western Cavalry, it lowered its head and rushed in like a heavy tank.
Boom, boom, boom!
Adam, who was in the center of the Western Cavalry formation, was knocked away by the bloody wind before he could even swing out his long sword.
Bloodwind, like a heavy tank, kept knocking the Western Cavalry away, both men and horses. The Western Cavalry that passed it on the left and right were knocked away by the direwolves wearing metal wolf armor following behind Bloodwind.
.
Viewed from the top of the valley, it looks like a group of charging ants being crushed by a group of beetles wrapped in heavy shells.
puff!
Adam, who had not yet shown his excellent swordsmanship, was hit hard by the huge force of the blood wind and flew to the rock wall on the right. He fell to the ground and spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments.
He looked at the terrifying giant wolf that was gradually losing the power to charge and was surrounded by a large group of Western Cavalry. Adam reluctantly raised a smile on his lips.
Even a huge mammoth will be slowly tortured to death after being surrounded by a pride of lions.
call!
Suddenly, a huge tornado of ice mist sprayed out from the mouth of the terrifying giant wolf, sweeping across the layers of Western Cavalry that surrounded it.
After the tornado ice mist dissipated, the layers of Western Cavalry surrounding the terrifying giant wolf turned into crystal clear and lifelike ice sculptures, including their men and horses.
Click, click!
After the terrifying giant wolf sprayed the tornado ice mist, its huge body continuously hit left and right, directly knocking these Western Cavalry ice sculptures into pieces and shattering them all over the ground.
Looking at the terrifying giant wolf that continued to kill after breaking away from the siege, and the group of direwolves wearing metal armor behind it.
Adam felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and as darkness fell, the last thought came to his mind.
What the hell have we gotten into? This isn't a direwolf... it's a monster!
The other Western Cavalrymen who were originally charging behind Adam looked at the one or two hundred fellow cavalrymen in front of them, who were being massacred by the giant wolves in various ways.
He used his huge armored body, his sharp claws, his ferocious wolf mouth... and finally used ice magic!
The fear in their hearts grew rapidly. In the end, the Western Cavalry simply abandoned their horses, which were unable to turn around due to the narrow terrain, and fled on foot behind them.
Standing on a platform at the top of the Tengshi Mountains, Robb looked down at the tragic battle in the valley like a god.
The second half of the Western Cavalry, whose retreat was cut off, was being shot dead by Northern soldiers on the mountain.
The spear formations prepared at the exit of the valley at the front had not yet been activated. After only testing the combat effectiveness of the direwolves, the first half of the Western Cavalry began to flee.
"It's almost done, try to recruit as many surrenders as possible! Our strategy this time is to occupy the Western Territory, don't waste these precious labor forces!"
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Robb turned around and gave instructions to Clay beside him, and left the platform.
So far, Robb has won the victory in the valley interception with minimal damage!
