As Witte headed north, withdrawing the knights of the West from the Moon Mountains to support the Twins, half way there, war broke out in three places on the Westeros continent at the same time.
In the Stormlands, where the processing industry flourishes, ever since Renly transformed the top lighthouse into a detection circle, the lords in the territory have also successively built it. There is Renly at Storm's End, and there are hired magicians in other places, lurking in the city.
The vampires here can only retreat to the wilderness.
The vampires and their human servants gathered in the suburbs and stormed Rainhouse City. Count Casper Wilder led a small group of family members and knights to escape by boat.
Yuwu City is located on a peninsula extending from the mainland to the strait. To send troops from the land, you have to pass through dense rainforests. The only way is to sail from the broken ship bay in the north. Their goal is obvious, which is to use the terrain here to capture the dragon.
Renly is attracted to him and looks for an opportunity to kill the dragon.
After summoning the troops from Storm's End, Eagle's Nest, Crow's Nest and Mistwood City, Renly did pass, but there was no dragon-riding attack as expected by the vampires. Instead, he only used the dragon as a means of transportation.
When the storm land magicians and knights surrounded Rainhouse City, they jumped into the tower from the air with swords flashing with electricity, and the giant dragon flew away.
There was an explosion of fire and lightning roaring, and soon the city gate was opened by Renly from the inside. The magician and the knights holding silver weapons rushed into the city and quickly killed all the vampires.
Under Werther's suggestion and Renly's management, the Stormland's nearly two decades of prosperity convinced the lords, which indirectly produced efficient command execution. Lords from all over the world responded to Renly's call and also secretly increased their efforts. There were crowds of people everywhere.
Knights patrolling in groups. Vampire riots broke out in four locations almost at the same time. The one in the Stormlands was wiped out first, making it unique among the Seven Kingdoms.
He ordered the lords across the Stormlands to strengthen their vigilance and search areas. After searching for several days and finding no living vampires, Renly rode Petwaha to the Reach for support.
There is a magic school in the south of the Reach, and further north is Highgarden. This is the most prosperous area in the Reach. There are magic schools and a large number of magicians living here. The place where the vampires launched their attack was in Maree in the middle.
The Long Table Hall of the Weiss family.
The Mander River Basin is an endless plain with rich water and grass. Except for the castle, there is no danger to defend. After capturing the Long Table Hall, the vampires began to develop meritorious humans into descendants, and gathered more humans who were willing to join them, heading west.
They marched to Golden Tree City, hoping to use this snowballing method to strengthen their team before attacking Highgarden in the south.
In the banquet hall of Highgarden City, the heir of the Tyrell family and the acting Lord of Highgarden, Willas, were entertaining the nobles. He was sitting in a wheelchair chatting with Lord Paxter Redwin.
At this time, the castle's maester ran in anxiously. He didn't have time to wipe the sweat from his face and handed a letter to Vilas. "This is a distress letter from the steward of Golden Tree City. The vampires are preparing to attack. They have already
The highest conscription order was issued, and all men and women in the territory, whether they were farmers, children or beggars, went to the city to pick up weapons and prepare to resist the attack. According to the description of the people who escaped from the Long Table Hall, there were about two hundred vampires and at least two hundred servants.
Thousands, but the number is still increasing!"
"More than two hundred vampires!"
Vampires are equivalent to magicians, and there are not even two hundred human magicians in the entire Reach. Willas Tyrell was so frightened that he suddenly stood up from his wheelchair.
"Medical miracle!"
The bachelor next to him stared at Vilas' legs and shouted loudly.
The banquet turned into a military council,
"The City of Golden Tree is the fortress of the Hand of the King's Rowan family. Let the vampires destroy the Rowan family before sending out troops." This was the suggestion made by the terrifying knight Horace Redwine.
"I think it would be better to allow the vampires to continue marching westward, and kill Klian in Red Lake City and Oakheart in Ancient Oak City along the way!" Baelor Hightower, known as the Laughing Baelor, said with a smile.<
/p>
Horace is the heir of the Redwin family. His twin brother Hopper Redwin became the commander of the Southern Navy on the Stepstone Islands. This makes him seem very incompetent. He now wants to contribute to the greater interests of the family.
.
The handsome Baelor is the heir to the Hightower family, and the person he hates the most in his life is Oberyn of Dorne. When Prince Rhaegar was not yet married, Oberon and his sister Yinlia Martell went to Casterly Rock to seek marriage.
The ship docked in Old Town, and Baile also became one of Yin Lia's suitors. Oberon felt that Baile was a very nice person, but after hearing Baile fart loudly, he immediately nicknamed him "Baile the Fart Wind"
, From then on, Yin Liya never looked at Belle again except for laughing. Belle also hated Oberon and hated Werther.
"Willas, the war with the vampires cannot be measured by human standards. I personally suggest that troops must be sent out immediately for support, and a message must be sent to Renly at Storm's End! Veidt went to the Riverlands on the king's order
, only Renly can come with the fastest support." Samwell Tarly
"Don't play devil's advocate! Little Tully! Remember, we are all in this together! Those families in the north want your head at any time!" Hobb Redwin and Samwell never dealt with them.
Today's banquet was attended by all the heirs of the southern families of the Reach. A small private alliance has been formed to fight against the newly rising northern forces led by Prime Minister Rowan. But today's Rowan is quite equal to the Tyrell family on the surface.
Surrender, pay a penny in taxes, and often send gifts. The Tyrell family currently has no excuse to attack Rowan.
However, the North and the South have privately fought many times over commerce, military supplies, military personnel, etc. For example, the sugar supplied to the Stormlands and Tyrosh has been lowered by each other, so that this year the Tyrell family gave Witte more than a kilogram of sugar.
They are selling at a loss.
Vilas is usually cheerful to everyone, polite and approachable. But after more than ten years of pretending to be ill, we know that he is a scheming, ruthless person who is good at forbearance.
Willas glanced at Hopper, who was taunting Samwell with words, and said: "If only Lord Randyll Tarly was still alive!"
Speaking of his late father Randyll, the smart Samwell knew that Willas was helping him out, and Hobb really stopped talking. After all, Randyll Tarly is now known as the first general of the Reach.<
/p>
"I agree with both of you!"
Vilas, who had been silent until now, spoke: "In the name of the acting city lord, I will order an immediate recruitment of troops to support Golden Tree City as quickly as possible."
"Isn't this just for the enemy?
" Hopper's words were interrupted by Vilas with a smile.
"Vampires are different and must be eliminated. No one can doubt this! Hopper, your opinion is also important, but if you want to weaken your opponents, you have to go beyond just letting them die. This time we are not the only ones who have gone there, Rowan's ally Kelian
The En and Oakheart families are also going. I will let them fight in difficult battles. After the war, I will also let the Rowan family pay a large war tax to the Tyrell family!"
No one can be offended, and both parties can be brought down by combining the opinions of both parties. This is Vilas's method of dealing with things.
The battle in the Riverlands soon started again, with a large number of low-level magicians and mage apprentices recruited from the academy playing an important role.
In King's Landing, Jon Snow and the vampires were too fast for the golden robes in armor to catch up. By the time they recruited horses to catch up to the Blackwater River, Jon had already disappeared.
Commander-in-Chief Jon in the Golden Robe has been away for more than ten days. No letter has been sent back to the military camp, and no one has been seen alive or dead.
Just when the officers were discussing whether to write a letter to the king to inform them, Jon Snow rode back piece by piece.
"Commander, are you okay?" The captain supervising the work outside the steel gate took the reins of Jon's horse.
"It's okay." After saying that, Jon wanted to dismount.
Normally, Jon would hold the saddle with one hand and easily flip down. Now his hands holding the saddle were trembling, and he lay on the horse's back and slowly slid down diagonally.
"Commander, are you injured?"
All the golden robes gathered around, and the captains even took out the healing potions in their belts.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired. I need to rest now. I'll borrow the city gate barracks to sleep for a while." Jon took off his helmet and took a few deep breaths, pushed aside his colleagues and walked towards the small door in the city wall alone.
"What happened to him?"
"Maybe I'm too tired from fighting vampires these days."
"Indeed, have you noticed Jon's face? I estimate he has lost more than ten pounds!"
The small military camp under the city gate is used for work and temporary rest by the golden robes on duty. The bedrooms in the military camp are very simple, with only a few simple wooden beds and old quilts in each room.
Seeing Commander-in-Chief Jon coming in to rest, several soldiers who were chatting immediately stood up and saluted, then walked out of the bedroom obediently and closed the door for the commander.
Jon took off his armor. There was no dirt on his body after being out for so many days, and there was still a faint smell of perfume that had not dissipated.
Jon took off his shirt and trousers again. After all his clothes were taken off, he picked up a broken mirror and looked at his body. There were no scars or traces of magic on his body, but he looked like he had lost more than ten pounds and had bags under his eyes.
His eyes were black and sunken, his cheeks that were round a dozen days ago were deeply sunken, the flesh on his limbs shrank sharply, and his strong chest muscles were gone, leaving only the ribs wrapped in skin.
Jon walked naked to the bed and fell asleep. He lay on his side on the bed and recalled the experiences of the past few days. Tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously. Half asleep and half awake, Jon bent his body again and stretched out his hand to pull the quilt.
Covering the lower body.
On the top of Twin River City, there were soldiers patrolling with torches everywhere during the day.
After Soros killed more than a dozen vampires, they seemed to have received some signal and ignored Soros and scattered in the dense forest.
Three days after Edmure withdrew to the Twins, Thoros also returned to the city alone.
At this moment, the horns on the towers of the Twins City were blowing non-stop. Edmure, Thoros and the knights stood on the city wall and were waiting.
"We are here in broad daylight. Didn't Werther say that vampires are stronger at night?" Perhaps due to excessive fright, Edmure did not sleep well during this period, and there were two obvious dark circles under his eyes.
"These ghosts can restore their vitality and magic power at night. They just stop restoring during the day. It doesn't mean that they can't move!" Thoros put his long sword next to the low wall and picked a pretty good bow and arrow in his hand. "Coming! Coming!" Edmure raised his sword and pointed at the woods north of the Twins and shouted.
The Twins City is a castle built on the Green Fork River. It is both a castle and a bridge across the river. The castle is divided into two parts, one on both sides of the river bank. The Twins City is also after the town of Earl Harroway near the estuary.
, the only bridge across the Green Fork River, the Frey family made a fortune by charging bridge tolls.
In order to facilitate the detection of the enemy's situation during defense, all the trees on both sides of the river bank were cut down with the castle as the center, and within a radius of nearly one kilometer, no food was grown, and only grassland remained. Every small mound and every exposed rock on the grassland was of great significance to
For the city defenders, they are all distance markers.
When the sun was shining high, a large group of ragged people ran out of the woods on the north bank of Twin River City, each holding weapons in their hands and running towards Twin River City quickly.
Edmure: "Archers at the ready!"
The people running towards the Twins looked like humans. After being attacked by vampires and their human servants, the people in the Riverlands wanted to attack vampires when they saw them. They also attacked unidentified humans when they saw them. There were vampires attacking the city.
The few hundred people left in Twin River City all ran up to the city wall to defend themselves, and all defensive weapons were prepared in advance. Upon hearing the Duke's order, hundreds of people drew their bows and pointed their arrows at the sky.
"With weapons but dirty clothes and no armor, even the vampire's servants will form a formation and charge. Where did they come from?" Thoros raised his palms in front of his eyebrows, shielding himself from the dazzling sunlight and observed carefully. This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Edmure: "Get ready!"
Some people have already run to the middle of the wide lawn, and people are still running out of the woods.
"No! When we were attacked, the vampires were wearing gorgeous clothes. Those human servants gave the clothes to the vampires, and a few of them were also wearing armor. The people here only had weapons. They took off their armor to escape!" Thoros has been a magician since
Things went smoothly, and I remembered some things from the hard times in the past.
How can you be faster when escaping? It is best to be naturally tall and have long legs. The second thing is to throw away unnecessary weight when escaping. Weapons are the only things that can save your life. Don't throw them away. What carriage baggage and family flag can escape with your life?
It doesn't matter where you come from. If the enemy is still chasing and won't accept surrender, the armor will also be in the way. Throw it as far as you can.
"Edmure, don't fire the arrow yet!" Thoros shouted anxiously and ran towards Edmure.
Edmure, who was extremely nervous, didn't hear anything. All his attention was focused on the enemy attacking the city. Seeing the enemy entering the shooting range, Edmure grabbed the long sword on the edge of the city wall and swung it forward: "Let go.
Arrow!"
Buzz
A hail of arrows flew from the city wall, drew an arc in the air, and quickly fell into the crowd.
"Ah"
Continuous screams reached the walls of Twin River City.
"Fuck you, sir. I am Edwin Frey. Whoever is riding a horse in the city is shooting at us! Open the city gate and spare your life!"
A very familiar voice to Edmure also reached the city wall.
"It's from the Frey family!" Soros lay on the wall and observed. The opponent was running at full speed and did not notice that he would be attacked. This round of arrows rained down, killing and wounding at least two hundred people.
"Who occupied Luanhe City? Open the city gate quickly!" The suspension bridge of the city gate had already been raised high, and people in tattered clothes gathered on the shore and yelled and cursed.
More and more people gathered on the shore. Soros visually estimated that the number had exceeded a thousand. There were still people running out of the woods in the distance, and the number far exceeded the people in the city.
"It's really you, Edwin Frey. I am Edmure. I have brought troops to support you. Open the city gate immediately!" Edmure lay on the city wall without any embarrassment.
"It turns out it's Duke Edmure, and there are vampires chasing us. Open the city gate quickly, or it's too late!" Edwin raised his head and shouted towards the city wall, very anxious.
"Don't open it!"
When Thoros saw Edmure about to give an order, he quickly ran over and took his arm.
Edmure was puzzled: "Why? Are they humans, or people I know, and the vampire detection device in your hand didn't warn you?"
Thoros drew out the long sword on his back and pointed at a large group of armed men in the dark under the city wall: "So, can you guarantee that they are not servants of vampires? Deliberately finding someone you know to trick you into opening the city gate?" <
/p>
"This" Edmure began to hesitate as he looked at Edwin Frey, who was standing by the river surrounded by thousands of people, wearing ragged clothes and looking anxious.
