The Kate Black family is, to put it mildly, a royal aristocracy. In fact, it is essentially a wealthy knight family that does not even have a fiefdom and only has a knighthood. There are thousands of such families in King's Landing.
The lands of the Seven Kingdoms were divided up thousands of years ago. Only when wars and serious crimes occurred, or a great plague occurred, and a noble was deprived of his territory or lost his heirs, would their lands be vacated and reclaimed.
Reward those who have meritorious service.
Sir Oswell Kettleblack does not have a prominent family background, and his father is an ordinary farmer. When he was young, he joined the army and followed Prime Minister Tywin's army to besiege the town of Duskendale to save the Mad King, and later hunted down the Darklyn family.
For his hard work, he was made a knight by Tywin, and he followed Tywin thereafter.
When Robert launched the war, he was just an ordinary knight in King's Landing, and he was not liquidated or punished after the war.
And as the new king Robert came to the throne, Oswell saw that countless people began to receive titles for their merits, and the Stormlands began to make a lot of money by making various products, and a certain string in his heart was plucked.<
/p>
First, he contacted Tywin, acting as Tywin's spy in King's Landing and gaining some support. With the incident involving Jaime and Cersei, the Lannister family lost power in King's Landing, and the only support he received from Tywin was
Money.
Unwilling to be reconciled, he asked around for connections. Lord Janos Slynt, then the Commander-in-Chief of the City Guard, happened to be selling his officers and knights, so Oswell used the money Tywin gave him to bribe him and bought the position of Captain of the Golden Robes Squadron.
.
There are many people with family backgrounds in the Golden Robe team, and there are also many rich people. Oswell spent many years cultivating the relationship with the Commander-in-Chief, and did not take up the post of Captain of Steel Gate until his hair turned gray. p>
Once you have an official position, the next step is to make money. In the past few years, apart from a few dukes, who was the most profitable person in King's Landing? People in the city would say it was Lord Petyr Baelish! So a man took the initiative to approach
One hopes to expand his circle, and the two develop a friendship. Within a few years, the two naturally have some secretly plotting transactions.
When his career and money plans were going smoothly, he also recruited his three sons who were working as mercenaries outside the army into the Golden Robe Army and let them serve under his command.
But the good life ended when Veidt Baratheon became Acting Prime Minister!
The commander-in-chief, Count Janos Stirling, was arrested by Witte and imprisoned in a dungeon for corruption. The new prime minister, Matus Rowan, also wanted to make meritorious service. In order to survive, he took the initiative to reveal his partisans in the army and the money he had hidden.
, many senior Jinpao people have been implicated, and they are now eating ice cubes on the Great Wall in the north.
He lost care in his official career and suffered a setback in his financial career. A few days after Werther arrested the Commander-in-Chief of the Golden Robes, he overthrew Lord Petyr Baelish.
Fortunately, Lord Baelish was not caught. They were not implicated because they could not find any substantial evidence. But his long-term relationship with him is already known to the world, including the Duke of the Vale, the Duke of the Riverlands and the King.
He didn't want to see him at all, and the ostracism and suppression within Golden Robe also followed.
Oswell felt that the second half of his life was a tragedy, a tragedy caused by Werther!
If the king doesn't want to see him, he can't survive in King's Landing, but the royal fleet, the Stormlands and the Stepstone Islands can't go, and the people of the Reach in the south don't do business with strangers. The Reach and the Vale can't go either.
, the northern border is not considered, the only way out is the western border.
When Oswell received Tywin's secret letter, he discussed it with his three sons, and the four decided to make this huge gamble. The family had no way out in King's Landing, and the only one who could save the family was Tywin.
From killing his colleagues in the Steel Gate Tower to running to Blackwater Bay, the old Oswell was too tired to walk. After exchanging signals with everyone, he was the first to enter the cabin to rest.<
/p>
His three sons are in their prime. The eldest son Osmond is over two meters tall. He is muscular, highly skilled in martial arts, and very smart. His most obvious features are his aquiline nose and triangular beard.
The second son, Osfry, is also tall and powerful, and also has a hooked nose. He doesn't like to smile very much, and he frowns at any time. Being illiterate, he can only pursue martial arts. This expression makes him look different from the three brothers.
The most vicious.
The third son Osney is very similar to his two brothers, with three scars on his face.
The group of people controlled the noise, did not light torches, and boarded the boat at night.
When Cersei got on the boat, a man came over to help her: "Cersei, are you okay?"
"Who are you?" There is someone who dares to call her by her real name. Cersei looked at him carefully.
"I am Adam Malbrand!"
Cersei was pleasantly surprised. The man in front of her was tall and thin, with long dark hair hanging on his shoulders. He was wearing black family armor and a golden cloak: "It's really you! Why did you come to King's Landing?"
"Ever since Duke Tywin knew that you were coming to King's Landing, he began to gather people to take you back. Sir Jaime was locked in the castle and couldn't get out. He asked someone to bring a message asking me to come and pick you up, so I took the initiative to find Tywin.
The duke has taken on this mission."
Adam spoke with great energy. When Cersei saw a familiar person coming to pick her up, Cersei felt at ease. She also pulled Donny to her side and introduced him: "This is Sir Adam. He was the best when Jaime was a child."
Friend, I am also the cavalry commander-in-chief of the Western Region."
Duny has lived in Suffield City for a long time and is not familiar with the people in Casterly Rock City. He originally thought that the other party was an ordinary knight who could handle the problem, but he did not expect that he was a good friend of his father James and came specifically to pick up his mother: "Hello, Sir Adam.
!"
"They are right over there, catch them!" The steel door was violently opened, and a large group of golden robes poured out from the inner city and rushed towards the docking place.
The sailboat set sail very slowly. It was just an ordinary merchant ship and did not have as many rowing positions as warships. Adam looked at the speed at which the golden robe rushed over and knew that it was too late to set sail. Someone had to stop it to buy time.
"Cersei, Duny, get on the boat quickly!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Adam pushed Cersei behind him, turned around, pulled out the sword from his waist, walked out of the boat and shouted: "Everyone obeys the order! Pick up the spears and form a formation. We will retreat after 10 minutes of resistance!"
The golden cloak was so eye-catching at night. Cersei looked at his figure protecting her: "You have to be careful!"
"Don't worry, I will take you back to Casterly Rock!"
Adam turned back and smiled at Cersei and resumed the meeting to command the soldiers. Cersei stood on the deck and looked at the busy Adam. He had become so brave after not seeing him for so many years, and she couldn't help but tighten her legs.
"Hound, give your knights to my command, and you get on the ship to protect Cersei and Duny!" Adam yelled.
"It's your command." The hunting dog threw the dagger he always carried on the ground: "But to protect them, you have to give me a sword first!"
"We are here to save people, not to fight. We don't have any extra equipment!" Adam was helpless.
The hunting dog looked around. The knights following him didn't have long swords. They were all holding spears in formation: "Donnie, give me your sword!"
"Why?" Donnie's sword cost a lot of money to make, and he didn't want to lend it out.
Adam had no time to care about this. The man had already run to the shore. The hunting dog picked up the dagger on the ground: "Forget it, I will use this little guy to protect you!"
The hunting dog was tall, and the dagger he bought was like a toy in his hand. Donny knew that he would die once the hunting dog was finished, so he still took the sword and the scabbard off his waist slowly: "Pay attention to the ruby on the hilt.
, if you lose it, you won’t be able to afford it for the rest of your life!”
"Fancy!" The hunting dog held the scabbard and stood in front of Donnie, looking at the shore with all his attention.
Seeing that the hunting dog didn't say anything to him, Donnie asked for another topic: "Why don't you go up and fight? If you kill a few more people, no one will chase us anymore?"
"You still have the heart to ask these questions at this time?" The hunting dog tugged at his clothes: "I don't have armor, so wearing this robe and rushing into the battle is just asking for death."
Donny looked at the hunting dog with contempt: "Coward, look at the knights who escaped with us. Don't they also wear the same robes?"
Duny's performance today really annoyed the hunting dog, so he drew his sword and walked to the boarding area and ignored Duny. The old Oswell also stood beside the hunting dog to support the three sons below. p>
The gold-robed commander-in-chief "Iron Hand" Jacelin, who was originally charging forward on horseback, saw that the people who came to pick up Cersei had formed a spear formation on the shore, and immediately judged that these people without any marks on their bodies were not bandits or mercenaries.
But people from the West.
"Stop charging!"
There are not many horses in the capital garrison, and they are still scattered throughout King's Landing today. There are only a dozen or so following him now. It is obviously not wise to charge against a spear formation of hundreds of people on the bank near the water.
"Form up a formation! Send people to the city to find support!"
"Iron Hand" Jacelin began to observe the opponent and analyze the current situation. The standard equipment of the capital garrison is mail armor, the officers have metal breastplates, and the weapons are short swords and short sticks. Only a few rich people bought their own long swords. Daily training
He is not a regular knight, so he can't gain much benefit from the spear formation in the upper west. The only advantage now is the number of people.
"The king is not in King's Landing, and now all kinds of monsters and monsters dare to run wild in King's Landing!"
The golden robes who were running out of the city were slowly gathering. There were less than 300 people in total. Jacelin on the horse was very anxious. The other party was obviously delaying the sailing ship and would not take the initiative to attack. Now the main sail of the ship has been raised.
The ropes were tied, and the sailors were already preparing to hoist the gaff. If they didn't attack Cersei, they would really escape.
"It's too late!"
Two hundred people lined up in two lines. Jacelin rode in front of him. Looking at the uniform attire, his colleagues holding swords and torches shouted:
"Warriors, the liar dared to pretend to be the late queen and prince in King's Landing. He not only insulted the king but also ignored our capital guard. This is a naked mockery of us!"
Jacelin raised her right hand and pointed to the coast, the steel prosthetic limb shining abnormally against the torch.
"Now, this group of liars and their accomplices are right across the way. Look, they still want to resist! Look at the uniforms you are wearing. What we have to do now is to present their heads to the king."
"Kill them!" The golden robes began to roar in unison.
Jacelin picked up the war hammer on the saddle, raised it high and shouted loudly: "Capital Guard, charge with me!"
The golden robes ran and charged towards the spear formation. Jacelin led some twenty cavalrymen and ran some distance away from the team, intending to charge from the flank.
"A little trick." Adam Malbrand curled the long sword in his hand into a sword flower. As the commander-in-chief of the cavalry under Tywin, he could judge the intentions of the golden robes when he saw their formation, and also judged their intentions from their postures.
During the operation, it was discovered that there was a lack of formal military training, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to change their formations to defend the flanks.
Both sides had no bows and arrows, and soon they were fighting each other. The flashing torches and the reflection of steel weapons illuminated the coast.
"The formation cannot be chaotic, shrink back, and everyone takes three steps back!"
At this time, the cavalry also came in from the side. Under the command of Adam, the Western soldiers holding spears quickly stabilized their position after suffering some casualties. When the cavalry led by Jeslin wanted to rush out and charge again, they found that they were surrounded. Several
The cavalry were quickly pulled off their horses, and some were stabbed to death with spears while riding on their horses.
"Go back..." Halfway through Jesslin's words, the war horse under his crotch was hit hard on the head, and both the man and the horse fell to the ground.
"The Commander-in-Chief is there, kill him!" the old man on the deck shouted loudly. Jacelin must have recognized himself and his three sons. If he didn't die today, there would be endless trouble in the future, and Tywin would not dare to protect him.
myself.
When the second eldest son, Osfry Kettleblack, heard his father's shouting, his face began to look ferocious. He also felt fierce in his heart. He must kill Jacelin today and called the two brothers around him to kill in the direction of the cavalry.
The combat power of the golden robes is not as good as that of the soldiers from the Western Region, but they are more numerous. In addition to those who charge, people are constantly pouring out of the city gate to join the battle.
Killing the opponent's leader can break the fighting spirit. After Adam Malbrand killed a golden robe with one sword, he also went to kill Jacelin.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
As the number of casualties increased, both sides could no longer maintain their formation. The Westerners in gold robes and those in black who hid their identities began to fight together. The first one to rush to Jacelin's side was Osney, the third child of Kate Black's family.
.
Dang~~
The heavy blow of the long sword was blocked by the war hammer. He thought that the opponent was a one-handed waste, and underestimated the martial arts of the current commander-in-chief. When the war hammer swung, he wanted to block it with the long sword because he was taller than the opponent. The war hammer came.
It was extremely fierce at the time, but felt very light after touching it.
The opponent withdrew his strength in advance! This was Osney's last thought. At this time, the war hammer had changed its attack direction. Jacelin used the sharp end of the hammer to smash through his armor and embedded it into his chest. Osney's legs
He sat down weakly.
Jacelin stepped on his shoulder and pulled out the war hammer, and large streams of blood poured out from the hole in Osney's heart.
"Brother!" The third brother was killed. The second among the three brothers ran directly to his younger brother regardless of the siege, leaving the eldest brother to face seven or eight golden robes alone.
"I'm going to kill you!" The extremely ferocious-looking Osflee, despite his tall stature and ferocious face, could only say that his martial arts skills were average. Every move relied on brute force. Jacelin dealt with a few of his moves before starting to counterattack.
If it hadn't been for his luck that the body on the ground had not blocked Jacelin's progress, several holes would have been smashed into the armor.
Seeing that he was defeated, Adam Malbrand thought that it was assisting to escape, not a war or a duel, so he immediately joined the battle regardless of the knight's honor, and together with Osfry, the two of them besieged Jacelin.
Using the tall Osflee to attack from the front, Adam attacked Jacelin from the side at a tricky angle.
Bang! Jacelin was knocked back and took two steps back. The golden robe only had a mail lining and breastplate. Now his arms and legs were injured after being hit, and half of the golden cloak behind his back was cut off. His movements slowly changed.
He had to be slow. He looked at Osfli and cursed loudly: "Traitor! Your family is all traitors!"
Osfori also felt uncomfortable. His left thigh bone was hit by a war hammer and was probably broken. He could only walk slowly towards Jacelin with one leg.
"Commander-in-Chief 'Iron Hand', do you know who I am?" Adam Malbrandt raised his sword again and asked.
"I don't care who you are, as long as you assist a liar, you will die!"
"It seems that he doesn't recognize me anymore." Even the commander-in-chief in the golden robe didn't recognize him, which proved that his identity must not have been exposed. Without any worries, Adam clenched his sword and prepared to kill Jacelin to avoid future troubles. Bang! Dang! Dang!
Adam has often practiced martial arts with James in the past few years and is very good at it. After a few moves, all three of them were injured. When Jacelin was kicked and couldn't stand still, he suddenly rushed over and took the sword from Jacelin's breastplate.
On the side, the connection seam of the mail at the armpit was pierced into the body.
Jacelin fell down weakly, and Adam kicked the warhammer off his hand: "Go on your way with peace of mind!"
"I'm going to chop off his head!" Osfli, who had lost one of his legs, walked over and was about to do it.
Adam stopped immediately: "No, he is the commander-in-chief. His death is already a trouble. If his head is chopped off, it will be very difficult for us to retreat!"
"I want revenge!" Osfori looked back at Adam fiercely, walked to Jacelin, and leaned over to chop off his dead head.
The long sword fell.
Cang!
The "dead" Jacelin raised the iron hand on his right hand and jammed the long sword. Then he twisted his arm to loosen the prosthetic limb. He pushed his arm forward, and the long awl used to fix the heavy iron hand came out of Osforli's left eye socket.
Inserted into his head.
"Traitor!"
Jacelin's voice was very low. After she finished speaking, she leaned close to Osfori and gradually stopped breathing.
"The Commander-in-Chief is dead, the Capital Guard retreats!" Adam started shouting to disturb the morale of the army. The golden robes started to get into chaos after looking at the Commander-in-Chief who fell on the ground.
When he saw the sailboat that was ready to set sail, he gathered the remaining people on board.
At the end of the battle, Adam Marbrand held his face scratched by the war hammer and felt more and more pain. His colleagues said that his left eye had to be cut off because of the serious injury.
"Why should we go north?"
On the deck, Cersei was asking Adam, who had a bandage on his head.
Adam, who had lost one eye, was staggering back and forth on the deck. He was slowly adapting to walking: "Duke Tywin said that you can avoid the pursuit of the king and the royal fleet by going north. He will arrange for someone to take over. Let's go first."
Go to Seagull Town in the valley to rest, and then go north to White Harbor."
On the side, Osmond Kettleblack looked at the corpses of his father and two younger brothers who were slumped and crying beside him, and began to doubt whether his father's feelings were right or wrong.
