The soldiers on the top of the Castle of Heroes were cleaning the battlefield, throwing corpses off the top of the city, including those of their comrades.
The space in castles and camps is limited, and corpses have nowhere to be stored or even burned.
After all, this is just a semi-finished castle that has not yet been completed, plus a semi-permanent camp.
The 10,000 soldiers of the First Legion were stationed here, relying on the castle and the tall wooden walls of the military camp, where supplies were stored.
Therefore, the situation of the surrounded First Legion is far more dangerous than that of Pantos, and they hardly have many geographical advantages to occupy.
The Dothraki focused their attack on the camp areas without city wall protection, which was equivalent to fighting a continuous back-and-forth offensive and defensive battle with the Dothraki on the plains.
After a whole day of fighting, the legion's camp had been breached several times, but in the end they were resisted tenaciously. Now the battlefield is being cleaned and time is spent to repair the damage.
In the headquarters conference hall of Heroic Soul Castle.
The commanders of the Kingdom's First Legion gathered together. Bessie Joyce, the civilian-born legion commander, was still wearing a military uniform and a metal mask, sitting in the center.
There is also a golden medal of sword and shield on his chest.
On both sides of his seat were two densely packed rows of knights with bright armor. They were all commanders of the legion. They wore armor with the Targaryen three-headed fire dragon emblem, and on their chests
The seven-pointed star symbol representing the Seven Gods.
One of the commanders couldn't help but speak.
"Defense will not defeat the Dothraki, Commander-in-Chief."
"And His Majesty is now besieged in Pentos, and we can't even let the raven out."
In the past few days, many of the ravens released by the Castle of Heroes were shot down by the Dothraki. Only one of them was more agile and escaped by flying very high. However, no news has come back yet.
"That's right."
Others also echoed.
"I have a proposal, Commander-in-Chief."
And another commander also stood up.
He proposed to fight out of the city and imitate the kerosene tactics used by His Majesty to burn the Dothraki to death.
Others came up with more diverse ideas, such as lengthening the battle line, forming a shield formation, outflanking the cavalry, interspersing charges and cutting up the battlefield, etc.
It can be seen that the grassroots commanders of the First Legion are much stronger than the defenders of Pentos. At least they have experienced the training of the regular army and the baptism of blood and fire.
However, Bessie, who was sitting in the first place, remained silent and speechless.
Ever since he rushed into the sea of fire and was seriously burned, he has become much more taciturn.
After all the commanders stated their opinions, Bessie raised her head slightly and spoke in a hoarse and low voice.
"Everyone."
"Behind us is the Andas Plain, our homeland for generations."
His eyes looked around at all the faces on the left and right, and the voice came from under the metal mask.
"Prince Oberyn's reinforcements will arrive soon."
"We will not continue to hold on to this."
"We must seize the time to deal with the enemy in front of us, and then go to Pentos to relieve His Majesty."
The commander-in-chief's voice echoed in the conference room.
He has decided not to stay in Heroes Castle.
He understood that the Dothraki surrounding Heroic Castle in front of him were not their main force. The opponent's main force must be besieging Pentos.
Although Bessie knew very well that the Dothraki only wanted to encircle the point and provide reinforcements.
However, he had sworn to protect the safety of His Majesty the King and live up to Viserys' trust in him.
Therefore, Bessie first shrank the defense line and put on a defensive posture to show the enemy weakness and make the Dothraki relax their vigilance.
Next, prepare to catch the enemy's slack and defeat the enemy in front of you in one go.
And all the lower-level commanders of the legion were shocked when they heard this, knowing that the commander-in-chief decided to go out of the city and fight the Dothraki who were several times their size.
However, instead of feeling fear, they felt excited.
Then they all stood up and hammered their chests with one hand.
"For the king!"
Storms are rising on the continent of Essos.
All the Free Trade Cities have set their sights on the war that is breaking out on the Great Plains.
The ancient Valyrian Road was even cut off as a result, seriously affecting the trade routes to Norvos and Qohor.
You must know that the ancient trade route Pantos Novoskohor has been maintained for countless years and has already become the economic lifeline of several inland cities.
And in faraway Westeros.
the end of the world.
King Robert led a coalition of nobles from the seven countries and arrived at Winterfell long ago after a two-month journey.
Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark, unrelated brothers, finally meet again.
Then they rushed to the Great Wall of Despair together.
Because more and more wildlings have accumulated there, the conflict between the free people and the Night's Watch is also constantly intensifying.
The Night's Watch unexpectedly sent a group of rangers to annihilate a small tribe, killing all the men, women, and children.
However, then a group of northern troops who also went out to clean up were ambushed by savages.
The cruel Thenns even skinned and cramped the prisoners of the Northern Army and put them on barbecue grills where they could be cooked and eaten at a visible location on the Great Wall.
The two sides have accumulated a deep hatred from time to time.
However, in this tense context.
The king of the Savage Kingdom suddenly sent an envoy. They heard from the captives that the king of the south seemed to be here, so they sent an envoy to negotiate with the king of the south.
The envoy revealed his identity and was connected to Castle Black, where he met Robert Baratheon, King of the South, who had just arrived at the Wall.
The messenger didn't say any nonsense. He stated directly that the footsteps of the white ghosts behind them were getting closer and closer. The real winter had not yet arrived, but it was not far away.
The envoy from the Wildling Kingdom asked Robert to open the city gate and let the free people outside the wall pass through the Great Wall, otherwise all their people would die.
Moreover, Mance Rayder's envoy also said that they had found the legendary 'Winter Horn' on the Fist of the First Men.
It is said that more than a thousand years ago, Qiaoman, the king beyond the wall, blew the "Horn of Winter" to wake up the sleeping giants underground, and if the "Horn of Winter" was blown, it would also cause the Great Wall to collapse.
If the kings of the Seven Kingdoms were not prepared to let hundreds of thousands of free people pass through the Great Wall to survive in the warm south.
Then Mance Rayder is going to blow this artifact to collapse the Wall, destroying the Seven Kingdoms and hundreds of thousands of free people.
