Early the next morning, the Winterfell cavalry, who had simply eaten some breakfast, continued to go out to look for Arya and inquire about some news.
Ed had already gone out to buy today's ingredients, while Robb was sitting at the door of the shop, scanning his eyes left and right, observing the situation in Cobbler's Square.
The location of the intelligence point established by Wallis is indeed very good. Sitting at the entrance of the store, you can have a panoramic view of the four entrances to Shoemaker Square.
Robb's eyes kept observing, and his mind also had no time to spare. He had been simulating the next action plan in his mind.
If Varys can agree, it is the best and easiest plan. If he does not agree, then Robb can only act according to the preset plan.
There were people coming and going in Shoemaker's Square, but no one expected that there would be someone sitting here at the door of an ordinary shop, planning to break into the Red Castle and the Dark Prison.
Thump, thump!
Two men in gold robes wearing black ring armor passed by the door of the store.
After glancing at Robb, who was smiling and respectful, bowing his head to say hello, they were arrogant and did not return the greeting, but continued to patrol forward with expressionless faces.
The sun slowly moved from the east to the middle of the sky, and Ed had already returned from buying ingredients.
The Winterfell cavalry, who had been told by Robb to come back on time for dinner, also returned one after another.
There is strength in numbers. There are more than a dozen people. You get vegetables, I get bread, and he gets meat. In two steps, the prepared meals are brought to the long table in the shop.
Thump, thump!
Just as they were preparing to enjoy lunch, two golden robes patrolled again at the door of Robb's shop.
They glanced around at the people eating inside. One of them, a man in gold robe, forced a smile on his lips and continued to patrol.
Ding!
Seeing that smile just now, Robb's heart skipped a beat, making him a little wary.
When did the Golden Robe become so friendly to civilians?
He patted Ed beside him on the shoulder, got up and walked towards the door of the store.
Standing at the door, Robb looked around and saw a few merchants in Shoemaker's Square, haggling with their goods under the leather ceiling.
"Ed, tell everyone to get their weapons ready."
Seeing the scene outside, Robb looked very serious and turned to Ed in a low voice.
Ed didn't ask any questions and directly conveyed his order.
Clang!
King's Landing can carry weapons, but Robb and the others are disguised as a small caravan, so naturally they cannot have family armor.
Therefore, they all wore soft leather armor that was common in the north and had little protection.
A dozen cavalrymen in the store were holding sharp weapons and staring fiercely at the door. There were no passers-by at the door at this time, otherwise they would definitely be frightened by this formation.
"Lord Robb, why are you so nervous? I didn't see anything unusual outside!"
A cavalryman holding a long sword and approaching the door saw Robb's serious expression and couldn't help asking.
"The golden robes we met in the past two days basically didn't bother to look at us. The two golden robes just now had abnormal expressions. It is very likely that they came to check our number."
Hearing the inquiries from his cavalry, Robb explained to them while observing the situation outside the store,
"Although it is lunch time now, the merchants at the ceiling stalls in the square basically bring their own dry food.
There are fewer and fewer people at the square stalls. Where have they gone? Are they no longer doing business?
If I guessed correctly, the other party was afraid that there would be too many people in the market, so we took advantage of the chaos to escape and are now evacuating the crowd."
Looking at the fewer and fewer merchants in Shoemaker's Square, Robb said very quickly: "No, we will be too passive if we continue like this. Now follow me and remember not to be too eager to fight. Let's break through to the Gate of the Gods in the northwest.
.
After leaving the city gate, we went to the hotel outside the city to meet Torun and the others."
"yes!"
Hearing Robb's quick order, the Winterfell cavalry in the shop responded in a low voice.
Clang!
Robb pulled out his long sword, went out and rushed towards the corner of the alleyway on the left.
He had just rushed to the alleyway when two golden robes, one on the left and one on the right, suddenly rushed out from behind the corner of the alleyway. The long swords in their hands were drawn from bottom to top.
Two long swords rushed towards Robb's feet and chopped them off, apparently preparing to destroy his ability to move first.
clang!
When he saw two golden robes, Robb, who had always been alert, reacted very quickly. He held the sword tightly in his right hand and stood it upright in front of his legs. He easily blocked the two swords by himself.
pound!
After his long sword blocked the sudden attack of the two golden robes, Robb quickly raised his right foot and stepped on the two long swords in front of his legs.
The two golden robes reacted and immediately wanted to draw out their swords. They tried their best, but the swords did not move at all, as if they were firmly planted under Robb's right foot.
Tear!
Eddard and the cavalry behind Robb were not dead men. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they immediately stepped forward and stabbed two long swords straight into the necks of the two golden robes.
Click, click!
The two gold-robed men choked with blood at their mouths. They struggled a few times before dying and then fell softly to the ground.
After taking care of these two enemies, Robb continued to turn the corner of the alley.
"Grass!"
As soon as he walked around the corner, Robb, who had always maintained his conversational style, subconsciously cursed in the quintessence of Chinese.
I saw densely packed golden robes on this narrow and crowded staircase alley, rushing towards Robb and others with swords.
As soon as he finished his national quintessence curse, the swords of three golden robes struck at him at the same time.
This time, they didn't attack Robb's legs, but came straight to his head from different directions.
Robb suddenly bent down and lowered his head to avoid three long swords. The long sword in his hand was aimed at the legs of the golden robes, and it was a semicircular slash from right to left.
ah!!!
The long sword in his hand, under Robb's brute force, chopped off the three golden robes and their five calves alive.
Two of them fell to the ground on the spot, rolling and screaming.
The one on the far left, who was standing on one leg because Robb's sword couldn't reach him, stood in the golden robe, standing there blankly, looking at his one leg, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
Bah!
Robb didn't have time to listen to his screams. He just stood up and stabbed the sword into the right eye of the gold-robed man.
The wave of golden robes would not stop just because of the two fallen comrades. The four golden robes that followed them stepped on the two comrades who were still screaming and continued to attack Robb.
Clang, clang, clang!
Eddard, who had just turned the corner, and the other two Winterfell cavalry in the front row, saw the golden robes attacking, and immediately rushed forward to fight with them.
ah!
Robb, who had dodged the opponent's attack, had just withdrawn his sword from the neck of a gold-robed man.
He saw to his left that the Winterfell cavalry who had asked him about it in the shop had lost strength after cutting down several golden robes.
Another man in gold robe came up from behind and pierced his stomach, and the internal organs in his body fell out as the opponent drew his sword.
After the Winterfell cavalryman who fought bravely to kill the enemy fell to the ground, another cavalryman behind him immediately took his place.
Fortunately, in this staircase alley, up to four warriors can stand in a row. If they were on a broad street, Robb and others would have been surrounded.
This won't work!
"Ed, take the people to support you for a while!"
"yes!"
Robb chopped down a golden cloak again, yelled at Eddard next to him, and stepped back from the battle.
As soon as he left, a Winterfell cavalry standing behind him immediately stepped in to replace him.
The cavalry behind them who were not involved in the battle saw Robb coming and immediately made way for him.
Robb hurried back to his shop and looked towards Cobbler's Square.
I saw at each of the other three entrances to the square, a mixed team composed of gold robes and Lannister soldiers, totaling about forty people, was evacuating the crowd in Shoemaker's Square, and was constantly surrounding Robb.
