Chapter 1020: Siege

The First Prince's army arrived and surrounded High Garden.

Outside the city is an endless, densely packed figure, holding high the banner of the Targaryen family, their armor is bright, and their weapons reflect the cold light.

It's just that people don't have much confidence in the second prince. In fact, they don't have much confidence in the soldier himself.

Because the imperial soldiers outside the city were neatly arrayed, fully armed, and wearing uniform armor and cloaks.

It's not like our own side is wearing all kinds of family armor and all kinds of coats of arms. It's a mess. Even before Bessie took over, even the command was in chaos. When the war started, the soldiers couldn't find the generals, and the generals couldn't find the soldiers.

But now these problems have been solved, at least the commander can follow orders and respond.

When the eldest prince's army arrived outside the city, the soldiers on top of Highgarden City felt their hearts in their throats.

Because they know that there will definitely be a big war coming next.

"Gods bless you."

"Ancestors bless you."

People pray in their hearts one after another. After all, in this situation, people like to find some psychological comfort for themselves.

After the troops outside the city arrived at Highgarden City, they were not in a hurry to attack the city.

Instead, they set up camp openly and openly without any concealment, as if they were sure that the people in the city would not dare to attack them while they were building the camp.

However, in fact, the defenders in Highgarden City really did this.

They watched each other set up camp and cursed and provoked each other, but they huddled in the city and did not dare to come out.

The current Earl of the Rainforest, Dale Sikes, was standing on the top of the city. Seeing the provocation of the enemies outside the city and even urinating on the city head, he immediately raised his hand and angrily beat the battlements.

"Lord Bessie, I am willing to go out of the city and kill these bastards."

Dale Sears punched the battlement with his fist, blood dripping from his fingers, and he spoke angrily to fight.

The current Lord of the Rainforest, Dale Sears, is the eldest son of the former Onion Knight Davos Sears, and he has six brothers.

Even the young boy back then, Dell is now quite old, already in his forties.

Davos, the Onion Knight, died of illness many years ago.

Davos Sears, a former smuggler, can be regarded as a model of changing his own destiny.

He served as Stannis' top aide, later surrendered to Viserys, served as the harbor master of King's Landing, and the customs master of the empire. Finally, he returned to his hometown and became the powerful governor of the Stormlands, which is unparalleled in the limelight.

In the more than ten years since Davos Sears became the governor of the Stormlands, the Sears family has also accumulated a deep foundation, built a magnificent rainforest castle in the vast rainforest, and also got rid of the past.

Notoriety as a smuggler.

Davos did a great job in governing the Stormlands. Under his rule, the weather was smooth and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There were no bandits or bandits, and even thieves became rare. The nobles also kept their heads down and did not dare to be domineering.

Because Davos still has not forgotten Stannis's kindness and implemented Stannis's concept, which is justice, the nobles make mistakes and the common people are equally guilty.

Therefore, even after Davos died, the people of Stormland still missed him very much.

However, the nobles of the Stormlands are no longer willing to support the Sears family to become the next governor of the Stormlands. After all, Davos was directly appointed by Viserys back then.

Then the nobles of the Stormlands held a vote, and once again voted for the Clinton family, the largest family in the Stormlands that now occupies Storm's End Castle.

Renard Connington, the young son of Jon Connington, who served two terms as Lord Hand, became the Governor of the Stormlands.

Then he led many nobles from the Stormlands to join the camp of the second prince Yin Meng in this battle to seize the throne.

However, now Dale Sikes took the initiative to ask for a fight, but was also rejected by the Empire's 'Iron Masked War God'.

"Strictly defend the High Court, and no one is allowed to leave the city."

Bessie was wearing a metal mask and could not clearly see the expression on his face, but his attitude was very tough, which made Dale Sears feel a little suffocated.

In the end, he didn't say anything more. Instead, out of sight and out of mind, he walked directly off the city wall and went back to sleep.

On the other side, a trap had been set up, waiting for the people in the city to come out and destroy the camp, and then eat the group of people in one bite. Oberyn was riding on horseback.

His wrinkled eyes looked at the tall fortified city in the distance, then he shook his head slightly, his gray hair fluttering in the wind.

"Your Majesty."

Then Oberyn's attendants hurried forward to help the old general get off the horse.

"I'm not too old to ride a horse yet!"

However, Oberyn was not very grateful. Instead, he glared at the attendant and spoke in a dissatisfied voice.

Although he is indeed not young anymore, and is now sixty-five years old, he still refuses to accept old age, and he doesn't like the way they look at him.

Oberyn didn't feel that he was old. He felt that he still had energy and his mind was not dull.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to get involved in the battle for the right to inherit the throne at such an early age and after becoming famous all over the world.

After all, this is actually a thankless job for Oberyn.

Even though he supported Heros to the throne, he had no more desires for himself.

And if he fails, no matter how long he can live, his life's accumulation will instantly collapse, his reputation will be discredited, and he may even become a sinner.

However, under these various conditions, Oberyn is still willing to participate, it can only be said that he is heartbroken for Dorne and the Martell family.

However, despite Oberyn's harsh words, he still got off the horse with the help of his attendants.

"Your Majesty, dinner is ready."

Then the attendant was chattering aside, but Oberyn's thoughts had already flown to the sky.

He had just set a trap to lure the people in the city out, but the people in the city did not fall for it, which made Oberyn feel a little emotional.

After all, the one he is facing now is his old friend who started his career with His Majesty the Emperor in Andalos.

At that time, they were broke and started from scratch, but now they have built a huge empire and both of them are famous all over the world.

But at that time, who would have thought that one day the two of them would face off on the battlefield?

But although Oberyn has been emphasizing to himself in his heart, he must be careful about this old friend.

However, the great victory in the Battle of Stone Bridge and the smooth progress since the war still made him unable to help but feel a little relaxed.

Even trying to lure the enemies out of the city with such a low-grade lure would be an insult to an old friend.
