The Tyrell family's reinforcements were repulsed, and Lord Samwell Tarly, the current Earl of Horn Hill, was captured accidentally during the war and imprisoned in a Dornish camp.
Ever since Randyll Tarly, the former lord of Hornhill, disappeared during the Battle of Riverrun, leaving no one alive or dead, Samwell Tarly, the eldest son of the Tarly family, became the new lord with the support of his mother.
Dorn threatened to ask the Tully family's army to leave, otherwise they would kill their lord with a single blow. The Tully family's army had no choice but to withdraw.
On the other hand, Dorne is seeing good news frequently.
The spy that Lord Anders Yronwood placed in Nightsong City a long time ago took advantage of the darkness to burn countless amounts of food and supplies, and then disappeared without a trace.
The commander of the frontier, Bryce Cullen, was furious and vowed to find the mole. He hanged more than 30 people including the warehouse guards and stewards in one breath, but the Dorne spy was not found.
However, finding the spy is not the most important thing now, but what to eat next.
There are many troops in Nightsong City, but supplies are in short supply. Although they can ask for help from their lord Renly, they are out of reach and have to face the harassment of Dornish cavalry.
Therefore, Count Blaise Cullen was forced to open the city gate and go out for a decisive battle. The two sides started a confrontation under Nightsong City.
Then the trumpet sounded, and a fierce battle broke out.
The Dornish people prefer metal round shields. The endless Dornish army is holding shields, spears, or short javelins, and is rushing towards the border army. The Dornish archers are holding double-curved long bows, and then they are equipped with
The arrow drew the bow string.
Bang bang bang
A black rain of arrows fell overwhelmingly. The soldiers in the border areas held their shields high to block the rain of arrows. The arrows made a crisp sound when they landed on the shields.
puff
But there were still arrows that penetrated the shield array and fell into the crowd below. Then screams were heard and the soldiers fell to the ground.
"kill!"
The Dornish army came to the frontier, and the soldiers fought back tenaciously, and the shouts of killing shook the earth.
This is the largest war that Westeros has experienced since the Battle of Riverrun a few months ago. Both sides invested a total of tens of thousands of troops to fight each other.
Daemon Sand, the bastard son of Divine Grace City, swung a scimitar and led the charge, slitting the throats of two border soldiers in one breath. He hoped to gain his father's approval and not be sent to brush horses again.
However, at this moment, an ugly knight with measles on his face suddenly rushed out from beside Damon Sand. He was wearing dark golden armor, holding a sword and shield and was extremely brave.
"come over!"
"The illegitimate son of Shen'en City! Do you dare to challenge me to a showdown?"
He recognized the identity of Daemon Sand. Daemon's father, as the commander of the Dorne rangers, had caused a lot of trouble for the nobles in the border areas during this time, repeatedly harassing supplies and burning villages.
Damon Sand, the illegitimate son of Divine Grace City, often followed his father. Although he was young, he fought bravely and thus gained some fame in this war.
"Lord Roland!"
When they saw the knight in dark gold armor standing up and actively challenging the opponent's master, the troops in the border area suddenly burst into cheers.
His name is Roland Storm, and he is also an illegitimate son. He is the illegitimate son of Sir Byran Cullen, the former lord of the Cullen family, and the half-brother of the current lord Bryce Cullen. He is called '
The illegitimate son of Night Song City'.
He himself is also a fierce warrior, and was once called an experienced killer by Dorne commander Anders Yronwood.
The young Dornish warrior Daemon Sand was also arrogant. Hearing the provocation of the ugly knight in front of him, especially the 'illegitimate son of the City of God's Grace' he emphasized, he became furious.
"Roland!"
"Come! Let's have a showdown!"
Then Daemon Sand waved his scimitar and struck the horse towards Roland Storm to kill him.
The bastard son of Yege City was wearing heavy plate armor, his feet were firmly planted on the ground, his face was calm, he threw away the shield in his hand, and instead held the long sword in his hands with both hands.
"kill!"
Then with a roar that sounded like thunder, the two weapons collided heavily.
clang
Roland Storm was very powerful. He split Daemon Sand's scimitar with a powerful sword and at the same time cut off the head of his horse with a backhand sword.
Without even a painful neigh, hot blood poured all over him like a fountain, and the heavy body of the war horse fell to the ground.
Daemon Sand, who was on horseback, fell to the ground and was immediately knocked to pieces. Stars appeared in front of his eyes.
"Pooh"
He spit out the sand in his mouth, and before he could stand up from the ground again, Roland Storm strode towards him with his sword in hand.
"Spare your life!"
"surrender!"
"I surrender!"
When Damon Sand saw this scene, he immediately knelt on the ground and raised his hands, wanting to kneel down and beg for mercy. However, he did not expect that Roland Storm ignored him at all, raised the long sword in his hand high, and then went straight to the ground.
's fell down.
puff
A sword cut off his head, blood spurted out, and the body fell to the ground. The bastard from Nightsong City killed the bastard from Shen'en City with his own hand.
However, although the frontier army won the Battle of the Bastards, it did not win this war.
When the reinforcements in the Reach were temporarily retreated after being hit, and supplies failed to catch up, the troops in the Borderlands were outnumbered by a small number. It was very commendable that they could persist for such a long time.
However, war is ultimately based on the quality and quantity of soldiers, weapons and equipment, and logistical supplies. Although strategies can affect the war to a certain extent, in the final analysis, it is still the true strength of the competition.
The nobles of the frontier experienced a tragic defeat, lost Nightsong City, and were forced to retreat towards the Black Harbor behind them.
The Dornish army only pursued for a while, but did not continue to pursue and expand the victory. Instead, they headed northwest towards Highgarden.
As the plains of the Reach have roads extending in all directions and facing a large river, Highgarden is recognized as the most beautiful castle in the Seven Kingdoms.
The entire castle is built of white marble and is full of art, music and culture.
Countless poems and music often use this place as the background, telling the knights' martial arts, moral character and loyalty, and their pursuit of the love story of the beautiful noble lady.
However, now that Highgarden is facing the Dornish army, there are no solid natural barriers or tall walls to hold on to.
Nightsong City was defeated, and the most beautiful city in the Seven Kingdoms suddenly fell into a precarious situation.
