Count Sallotte, whose heart was pierced by a spear, died quickly, so he did not see it.
After condensing the thick ice shield and throwing spears and crossbows, the ice crystal armors on Robb and Bloodwind began to fall off. These fell to the ground, and the ice crystal armor pieces without magic support quickly melted and disappeared.
The originally bright eyes of Robb and Bloodwind became extremely dim, and finally, their original blue and golden eyes were revealed.
This means that the magic power of Bloodwind has been completely exhausted, and the [connection] between them is broken!
Boom, boom, boom!
The Northern cavalry led by Little Jon slammed into the rear of the 5,000 Western infantry who had lost the command of Earl Sallott, and for a moment they were overturned.
Bah!
The tall Little Jon easily wielded a steel lance, constantly stabbing at these five thousand Western Infantrymen who had no commander and were attacked from both sides and whose morale was obviously low.
With such a brave general leading the charge, the five thousand northern cavalry behind him completely gave up their defense and attacked the western infantry on the left and right with all their strength.
The soldiers of Count Sarriott's troops who originally suffered a relatively small proportion of battle losses fell in large areas for a while, and their occupation was reversed in an instant.
The morale of Earl Tytos's troops, who had already seen the Northern Cavalry flag, immediately soared. Their troops, with less than 3,000 men left, immediately counterattacked and joined forces with Little Jon, who was attacking the army formation.
When Earl Tytos and Little Jon joined together, the Western infantry phalanx, which was already less than 5,000 people, was directly cut through. The military formation that was barely in order before was directly divided from it.
Once the military formation is broken, the enemy army will collapse!
A large number of infantrymen from the West began to flee for their lives, some in the direction Tywin had evacuated, some in the north toward the Tengshi River, and some in confusion and confusion even fled into Riverrun.
Chacha!
Boom!
As the wildfire trap without any burning material was quickly extinguished, six thousand infantry formations were formed, composed of soldiers from the North, prisoners from the West, and recruits from the Riverlands.
He quickly approached the battlefield of Riverrun and began to chase and intercept many enemies who were fleeing in all directions.
Behind them, three thousand Northern heavy cavalry, whose horse tails were dragging tree branches, rushed towards the remaining left wing soldiers of the Western Border who were still fighting with dire wolves and woolly mammoths.
In fact, these three thousand heavy cavalry were a trump card specially arranged by Robb. At the beginning of the battle, they only needed to raise a lot of smoke and dust to fake the momentum of eight thousand northern cavalry.
This could not only cover the landing of five thousand northern light cavalry from the Red Fork River, but also recharge their batteries. Finally, at the critical moment of the fierce battle between the two sides, a heavy cavalry charge was launched, which played a decisive role in making the final decision.
This is the correct use of heavy cavalry!
The heavy cavalry in Westeros are purely used as road-opening tools, and they directly charge into the formation every time they fight.
Either, the enemy is swept across by our side and the battle is won. Or, our heavy cavalry falls into the enemy's formation and is besieged to death, and the battle fails.
In ancient China, even if one of your own heavy cavalry replaced ten of the enemy's infantry, your own commander would feel very distressed and it would be regarded as a tactical failure.
Who would be willing to use precious heavy cavalry as consumables!
However, Westeros can only have such a large number of heavy cavalry in wealthy areas such as the Westerlands and the River Bend.
Back to business!
When the Western soldiers on the battlefield outside the city were surrounded on three sides, except for the Western soldiers who fled to Tywin's evacuation direction and were still trying hard, the Western soldiers in other directions simply lay down and chose to kneel down and surrender.
"Little Jon, take people with me to chase Tywin Lannister!"
When Bloodwind carried Robb and wanted to continue chasing Tywin's retreating troops, considering that Bloodwind's magic power had been exhausted, Robb made a special detour to Little Jon's troops and ordered them to follow him in pursuit.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The battle situation outside Riverrun was decided. Upon hearing this, Little Jon immediately organized the five thousand light cavalry who were slightly damaged and followed Robb in pursuit.
Boom, boom!
On the pursuit path opened by Blood Wind, many deserters from the Western Region who were still fleeing were directly knocked away by the Northern Cavalry, ruthlessly harvesting their lives.
When Robb's troops saw the forested section of the River Road where the Western ambush troops were hiding from a distance, Tywin, who had already joined the Western ambush troops, was waiting quietly with hundreds of Lannister cavalry.
Another thousand Lannister cavalry and thirteen thousand Western ambush troops have disappeared, and it is unknown whether they are ambushed in the woods.
Looking at Tywin who was clearly setting up an ambush in the distance, Robb, who was very confident in the combat effectiveness of his direct troops, continued to charge forward with the Northern Cavalry without fear.
"Stop moving forward!"
But just after walking a short distance, he felt the warning message of Blood Wind in his heart, and Robb immediately raised his right hand and ordered the Northern Cavalry behind him to stop.
"Hey, I didn't force my way in this time! It seems that Robb Stark's magic is not endless!
Moreover, it happened to stop right in front of the wildfire trap, so the trap should have been discovered. Hmm, is it the dire wolf that smelled the wildfire?"
Watching Robb's troops stop moving in front of the wildfire trap, Tywin immediately obtained two important pieces of information.
Yes, Robb stopped because there was a second wildfire trap set by Tywin right in front of them!
Tywin, who was good at planning, said that he would gather all the wildfires together to set up a trap. In fact, he secretly sent out his own bodyguards and set up a second trap in the ambush.
If you don’t expect to win, expect defeat!
This is the escape route Tywin prepared for himself in advance. At this moment, he can not only block the enemy, but also obtain important information about Robb through traps.
"Send the signal and let's go!"
Tywin, who had already accepted the defeat of this battle and had adjusted his emotions, tilted his head with a calm expression and gave instructions to the messenger beside him, then pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.
Woo!
Whoosh, whoosh!
With a sharp horn blast, dozens of rockets were fired from the woods on the River Avenue to ignite wildfire traps.
Boom, boom!
The explosion power of this wildfire trap was far less than the first one just now. However, there were many thick branches buried in this wildfire trap, which were enough to support the fierce green flames burning for a long time.
Tywin Lannister, you really cannot underestimate him!
Seeing only dozens of enemy cavalry running out of the woods on both sides, Robb couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Just now, Tywin pretended that the woods on both sides were full of ambushes, so that Robb believed it was true. But in fact, there were no ambushes at all. His purpose was to attract Robb's attention and ignore what was under his feet.
If Bloodwind hadn't smelled the wildfire, then Robb and others might have stepped into a trap.
Although Robb still valued Tywin in his heart, he would not say so in his mouth.
Bloodwind's huge body turned to Little Jon and the Northern Cavalry. Robb raised the ice in his hand and shouted loudly: "Tywin Lannister ran away like a timid old dog!
The victory of this battle belongs to everyone in the North and the Riverlands who fought bravely. Tonight I will bring out the drinks and food in Riverrun and hold a celebration party.
When the statistician counts the battle achievements, everyone will be rewarded greatly!"
"Wow, I can be promoted to centurion!"
"Long live the King of the North and the Iron Islands, King of the Riverlands!"
"Long live Lord Robb!"
As Robb, who had begun to become deified in the eyes of many soldiers, loudly declared victory, all the northern cavalry cheered for victory. In the end, they all turned into a chorus of long live Robb.
When Robb won another major war victory and Riverrun was cleaning up the battlefield and prisoners and preparing to hold a grand celebration banquet, important things were also happening in other parts of the Riverlands.
…
In a remote mountain valley somewhere in the Riverlands, there is a vibrant and prosperous village.
A clear stream flowing down from the mountain flows quietly through the middle of the village. In the surrounding farmland, busy farmers are working hard.
A group of peasant women were washing a lot of blood-stained weapons and armor by the stream. Carefree children surrounded them, throwing a pebble into the stream from time to time.
laughter.
Berry and Soros were leisurely passing by the village, looking at the peaceful and quiet village scene, his face full of twisted blood vessels filled with a heartfelt smile.
Since his resurrection from the dead, he has completely forgotten his past aristocratic status, power and honor.
Now, his greatest wish is to eradicate the indiscriminate killing of the Western Army and allow the civilians in the Riverlands to live an ordinary but warm life.
Next to him, Soros raised his head and drank a large gulp of wine. In the words of the previous life of China, such a harmonious scene was worthy of his imagination.
"Lord Berry, how was the effect of the potion the day before yesterday? You avoided me yesterday. You should be able to tell me the detailed reaction of your body today!"
Just as Berry and the two passed through the village and walked towards the back mountain, Coburn, wearing a shabby black bachelor's robe, jumped out from behind a big stone on the path into the mountain, asking him with a look of complaint on his face.
Seeing that he had only been hiding for a day and was blocked by Cobain again, Berry gave Soros a wry smile and replied to Cobain: "Cobain, it was you who said that this time the potion will be more effective.
Slow!
I haven’t felt that my physical fitness has improved. However, I have experienced its side effects.”
After finishing speaking, Berry pulled up the trousers of his left leg. He saw a large dark red abscess on his left calf, which was covered with leg hair. He exerted a little force, and some abscesses were still popping out.
Blood and water.
"It hurts! Why didn't you say anything?"
Soros had no idea that Berry, who was laughing and chatting with him all day long, had side effects from the medicine on his left leg. He frowned and asked Berry.
"It doesn't hurt very much. Since my death... since I received the Lord's blessing, I feel that my reaction to pain has become less and less.
Experience this feeling more now! Maybe, you won’t have these feelings at all in the future!”
After hearing this, Berry waved his hands nonchalantly and said something that seemed plain but was horrifying to think about.
After Soros listened, he silently raised the wine bag in his hand and took a long sip of wine.
"Well, the amount of poisonous kiss flower is a little too much, so it has such side effects. At the same time, it also causes the entire tube of medicine to lose its intended effect. I still have the materials, so I will prepare another dose now."
Coburn, who was lying on the ground to observe and smell the abscess on Berry's foot in detail, didn't talk to them at all, just got up and walked quickly up the mountain, talking to himself.
Poof!
Cobain, who was just murmuring and not looking at the road at all, bumped shoulders with a brotherhood member who was coming down the mountain.
The burly fraternity member was knocked back a big step by Cobain's thin body, but Cobain seemed not to be affected at all and continued walking towards the back of the mountain.
The Brotherhood members looked at the weird Qyburn and shook their heads, then ran to Berry and the two men and reported: "Lord Berry, Lord Thoros, Jaime Lannister is fully awake!"
"Very well, inform everyone to gather in the prayer hall, and then bring him and the hunting dogs over. Today is the day of judgment for both of them."
After hearing the report from the brotherhood members, Berry immediately nodded and gave him instructions.
"Okay, I'm going to inform everyone now!"
As soon as the fraternity member agreed, he turned around and ran towards the back hill, with Berry and Soros following closely behind.
However, because he had to deal with the upcoming trial, Berry returned to his room first, put on his armor with the help of Thoros, and then went to the prayer hall.
The Bannerless Brotherhood's stronghold is in a huge cave in the mountain behind the village. This huge cave is composed of large and small cave groups.
The largest cave among them is specially used by members of the Brotherhood Without Banners when they gather to pray.
At this moment, the prayer hall was surrounded by torches and there was a lit bonfire in the middle. Hundreds of people were already densely crowding around the bonfire.
Sandor and Jaime were tied with ropes and were forced to kneel by the bonfire by several Brotherhood members.
Sandor, who had almost recovered from Qyburn's treatment, was looking up and around. It wasn't until he saw the three children waving hello to him next to Brienne that he felt relieved.
And James, whose right face was covered with scars and could almost be a brother to Sandor, was twisting his bound hands left and right in a very small way, trying to do something.
Thump, thump!
Fully armed, Berry and Soros entered the prayer hall and stepped onto the high platform at the front.
When everyone looked at them quietly, Berry took a step forward and said loudly: "Brothers, I have summoned you here to conduct the trial of Sandor Clegane and Jaime Lannister.
First up is Sandor Clegane!
You are accused of assisting the Lannister family in oppressing civilians and massacring innocent people. Can you plead guilty?"
If the original hunting dog had not even bothered to defend himself when faced with an accusation like Berry's, he would have simply and recklessly applied for a trial by combat, just pick up the sword and be done with it.
But now Sandor looked back at the three children beside Brienne, and what Robb had said to him came to mind. He turned his head and looked at Beric with a firm face and said: "I plead guilty.
!I did commit a lot of sins before,
But at that time, I was the killing tool of the Lannister family. I only followed the orders of these bullshit.
I am like the sharp sword in their hands. If a sharp sword kills someone, does the sin belong to the sword or to the person who uses it?
Now, I have completely understood my heart. I cannot die before sending them to Winterfell!
If you want me to atone for my sins, do you have enough fingers? Or a whole hand? Well, you can’t chop off my right hand, I have to use this hand to protect them with a sword."
"Hey, look what I saw? A mad dog that was so frightened that it bit its owner just to survive!"
Sandor's very sincere confession ended. Before Berry could speak, James next to him had a disdainful smile on his face and immediately began to mock him.
Faced with Jaime's ridicule, Sandor did not say anything to fight back. Instead, he stared at Beric on the high platform, waiting for his sentence.
Berry did not speak directly, but looked back at Thoros. The latter immediately took a step forward to stand with Berry, and then said: "Under the gaze of the great Lord of Light, Sandor Clegane has sincerely
Plea guilty.
Many of our brothers here have also committed sins, but as long as they can open their hearts and believe in the Lord of Light, they will eventually be saved!
The night is dark and dangerous everywhere!"
"The night is dark and dangerous everywhere!"
Except for a few people present, everyone followed Thoros in reciting the prayer. Seeing that he didn't seem to need to cut off his hand, Sandor immediately pretended to recite the prayer.
"Oh! Are you the 'Thoros of Myr' who likes to juggle? At that time, you held a long sword painted with wildfire in the Iron Islands to scare those ignorant squids.
Why, join this group of clowns in the circus now, follow Beric Dondarrion who only has one eye left, and fool these ignorant guys together?"
When fighting on the Iron Islands, Jaime had met Thoros. Knowing that he was just a fake monk who liked to drink in King's Landing, he did not leave any face to him in his words.
"It seems that you are not ready to admit your crime?"
"Hey, what crime do I have? Let me tell you. Being weak is the biggest crime in this world!"
Hearing Soros' question, James chuckled, looked around at everyone in the Brotherhood Without Banners, and spoke loudly.
Berry reached out and grabbed Thoros, who was about to continue speaking, and said with a serious face to the sneering James:
"Very well, you Lannister always call yourself a noble lion. But in the Riverlands, I only saw Lannister soldiers robbing and killing civilians wantonly, killing them for fun.
Since you do not admit your crime, then I will challenge you, the noble Lannister Lion, by combat on behalf of the innocent people who died tragically in the Riverlands, and let the only true god we believe in judge your crimes!
Jaime Lannister, do you agree?"
"Of course I agree, I can't wait to send you to meet the God you believe in!"
Seeing that his taunting tactics were effective, James, who was extremely confident in his swordsmanship, immediately nodded in agreement.
"Brothers, please clear the middle field, then untie them two and return their weapons to them!"
Following Berry's command, the area around the bonfire in the prayer hall was vacated. Sandor and Jaime were also free again.
Sandor ran to Brienne's side as soon as he was freed. After hugging the three children who also rushed towards him, he nodded and thanked Brienne for taking care of them during this period.
Brienne, who had no good impression of Sandor, just nodded slightly but did not speak.
Whoa, whoa!
James took the captured long sword and the matching dagger, waved it left and right a few times to evoke the familiar muscle memory, and then said: "Berry, if you have any last words, it's best to say them now."
"Hehe, maybe you only know me from the martial arts competition in King's Landing City. Indeed, at that time, I would definitely not be the opponent of your swordsman genius.
As for now... out of fairness, I would like to remind you that I have undergone tremendous changes. If you underestimate the enemy too much, you may not even have a chance to regret it."
After hearing James' confident pre-battle speech, Berry reminded him with a smile, then knelt down on one knee towards the bonfire and prayed.
"There are indeed big changes. My eyes are blind and my face has become ugly. I almost didn't recognize you."
Seeing Berry start to pray, James put his sword on the ground with both hands and continued teasing very easily.
"...My Lord, the King of Light, please shine on me!"
After finishing his prayer, Berry wiped the long sword on the palm of his left hand. The long sword smeared with his blood immediately ignited into a raging fire. He stood up and looked at the shocked James, and said with a smile,
"So, let's get started!"
