The people and slaves of Volantis City were hiding in their houses. The Archon ordered that this was a conflict between the R'hllor Sect and the Dragon Worship Cult, and all unrelated people were not allowed to participate. The conflict had broken out for some time, and the city's economy
All activities were stopped, and only the Dragon Worshipers in white robes could bring food for sustenance.
Before the two sects clashed in the city, the battle between the two sides had already started in the army.
Volantis is divided into the Tiger Party and the Elephant Party. The Elephant Party advocates the development of the economy, and the Tiger Party advocates the development of the military. The two sides complement each other to make the city-state grow stronger. Therefore, most of the soldiers and generals are Tiger Party, whether they are the army or the navy.
The tiger tattoo is called the "Tiger Robe Army".
Before the rise of the Dragon Worship Cult, half of the people in the army believed in the Lord of Light. After the Dragon Worship Cult turned from secret to open, the number decreased, and now there are also a quarter of the Lord of Light believers.
Under the joint orders of the three consuls, all the armies were transferred northward in batches to the towns of Velonces, Valisa and Sehoru. Each batch of soldiers transferred northward were strictly divided, and those who believed in the Light
On the night when the king's soldiers arrived at the station, they would be killed by the Dragon Worshipers soldiers while they were sleeping. The bodies would be dragged into a pre-dug pit and buried, and then wait for the arrival of the next group of Lord of Light followers.
The navy was all sent to the city of Lys to rest and recuperate. This was a strange order. There was no reason for all of the navy to be stationed in other city-states. Considering that it was peacetime and there was no war, the generals who had questions still followed the instructions of their superiors to move the ships.
They all dock at the port of Rees.
There were so many sailors ashore that the carnival could only be held in the spacious port.
At night, the drunkards had gone back to the cabin to sleep. Some soldiers who had eaten and drank were still not happy. Many people found scrap wood piled together at the port, lit it and danced around the fire, completely unaware that more and more people were coming.
colleagues are missing.
The carnival lasted until late at night, and the secret killings based on the list also continued. At this time, the strong smell of blood could no longer be hidden, and the experienced veterans began to resist after discovering it.
The port was in chaos. Soldiers who believed in the Lord of Light organized themselves and wanted to flee to the city to hide. Reese soldiers had already blocked all intersections near the port.
There were also a few who managed to escape by boat. They looked at the port where the killings were shaking, and they were glad that they could survive. When they shouted loudly for the Lord of Light's blessing, dozens of fireballs flew from Lys Island and blew the boat into pieces.<
/p>
On the fifteenth day after the massacre at the port, the Waverider entered the city of Volantis with only the Dragon Cult fleet remaining.
The Volantis Army, which was also the only one left with the Dragon Cult, heard about the riots in the city and immediately returned to the defense, setting up roadblocks to surround the R'hllor Temple and the Dragon Cult Temple, leaving a road connecting the two temples.
streets and informed the entire city that the army would not participate in the conflict.
The Temple of R'hllor is like a castle, huge and extremely strong. Even if the food supply is cut off, it can survive for a month just relying on the storage in the temple.
The senior leaders of the Dragon Worship Cult were directing the battle in their own temple, and Witte was also here. Everyone was not in a hurry to attack the other party's temple, and deliberately kept this sacred place to attract scattered followers of the Lord of Light to support them.
, convenient to catch everything in one place.
Soros, who was covered in blood, walked into the hall, put his sword aside, grabbed a water jug and poured it into his mouth. Werther, who was reading a book aside, watched him calmly.
"It's good that you came back safely and uninjured. How many magicians are there on the other side?" Archbishop Dophas Pennymin asked with a smile.
Soros put down the water jug and pointed to the door: "I found three today!"
Dofas waved his hand behind his back, and a congregant ran to the door and opened the bag, and three heads rolled to the ground.
"I recognize these three people, they are definitely them!" said the dragon priest Nesiso Wisama, who was dressed in purple.
After hearing this, Witt no longer cared about Soros and began to read with peace of mind.
Soros' life experience is not a secret. He has lived in Westeros for more than ten years. He did not know how many times he told it in the tavern. Werther and Varys investigated him many years ago. There is nothing about his identity.
Question.
However, he used to believe in the Lord of Light, and now he believes in the Dragon Cult. Werther had to arrange for him to kill several R'hllor mages alone to see if he still missed his old love.
The intelligence officer of Volantis ran in at this time, came directly to Werther, bowed and took out a thick stack of letters: "Duke Werther, these are military intelligence sent from Tyrosh." p>
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"That's right." The intelligence officer left quietly.
The chaos in Myr was controlled locally, and there was no war in Tyrosh, so the only military intelligence available was Dorne. The contents of the letter included transcripts from Dorne's original documents, as well as records analyzed by Tyrosh officials. Witte opened the letter and
Read each letter carefully.
After understanding the situation between the enemy and ourselves, Nymeria changed her strategy of advancing steadily and steadily, and switched to a continuous attack with multiple troops.
In early March of AC301, the army gathered in Yinlenwood City. Before the soldiers who had been marching for a long time had finished resting, they began to attack the small town of Wells with all their strength. The number of soldiers fighting on both sides was equal. One side was exhausted, while the other side was waiting for work to defend its position.
This is a taboo in the military, but the effect is surprisingly good.
Earl Yinlenwood was not very politically aware, but he was a good hand in war command. After receiving the news that Nymeria was leading the army eastward, he immediately organized an efficient defense and planned to attack the small town of Wells.
Kill Nymeria.
But no matter how good the commander is, he can't stop the people below from causing trouble, and when the battle comes, the entire counter-rebel army is in chaos.
When the weapons that had been maintained were distributed to the soldiers again, they were all old, tattered wooden shields, long gun shafts eaten by insects, and the bow strings broke after less than three pulls.
Many military formations retreated as soon as they encountered the enemy, disrupting the entire battle line. Nymeria's cavalry ran rampant on the battlefield, as if they were in an uninhabited land.
And our cavalry, which was supposed to go around to the side of the enemy's formation to outflank, climbed over one sand dune after another and disappeared without knowing where they were!
With the war going like this, Earl Yinlenwood discovered something was wrong even though he had no political consciousness. However, after repeated interrogations, he only found that the lower-level soldiers made mistakes. The nobles and generals were all outstanding talents, and they had no idea who should be punished.
.
Earl Yinlenwood wanted to pick a few of the most suspected people to kill as a warning to the monkeys, but he was dissuaded. When he was defeated and retreated, morale was low. Doing so would definitely lead to rebellion, and in the end he would only be able to execute some soldiers.
Now it was like a rebellion! The angry Earl of Yinlenwood almost fainted when his eyes darkened, but he was helped into the carriage.
At the end of March 301 AC, the first confrontation between the main armies of the two forces in the Dornish Civil War ended on the outskirts of the small town of Wells. The Nymerian army killed nearly 10,000 enemies, captured nearly 30,000 people, and captured Tristan.
The remains of the prince boosted morale.
The Earl of Yinlonwood suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat eastward to the city of Divine Grace where his son-in-law, Sir Roger Alyon, lived.
