The scorching sun above our heads was scorching, and the trees on the red mountains were not very lush. Most of them were bare stones, and the land was barren.
Behind them is the desert, and in front of them is the oasis.
A group of people were walking on the ridge, and in the distance they could see a tall stone tower on a raised hill at the bottom of the hillside.
"Over there is the Tower of Bliss."
Karen, the young man who was the guide for this trip, introduced.
"It is said that Eddard Stark led six knights to fight against three Kingsguards, Gerold Hightower, Arthur Dayne, and Oswell River."
"It was really a shameful battle. They were outnumbered and outnumbered."
The young man said angrily that his dream was to be an outstanding swordsman like the Divine Sword of Dawn, wield the sword to the end of the world, and abide by his honor.
However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves and the sound of shouting came from far behind them.
"stop!"
A group of Dornish cavalry wearing sandy yellow tabards and white turbans on their heads were patrolling the mountains near the Tower of Bliss.
During the patrol, they discovered this group of traitors who wanted to escape to the north, and immediately drew out the machetes gleaming from their waists, just like eagles that had discovered their prey, and urged their horses towards this direction.
"Oops!"
After seeing this scene, the dozens of villagers who were preparing to escape were all panicked. Except for a few strong men, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. How could they resist the menacing cavalry?
But fortunately, the Crimson Mountains had an unobstructed view, and the other party saw them from a distance, but in fact the two sides were still far apart.
"quick!"
"Run away!"
The brown-haired boy Karen's face changed drastically when he saw this scene, and then he hurriedly waved for everyone to escape through the complicated terrain on the other side.
There are all jagged rocks and occasional trees, making it difficult for cavalry on horseback to catch up.
A few days later.
On the road leading to Ash Beach, a group of unkempt and ragged Dornish people appeared here. They were none other than the young Karen and his party who had escaped from the Crimson Mountains.
They took advantage of the complex terrain of the mountains to deal with the Dornish cavalry, and finally escaped from the mountains, and even killed several Dornish cavalry.
However, the price paid is that there are now less than ten of the dozens of villagers who came on the way. The old, weak, sick and disabled all died under the sword of their own compatriots, including the mother and younger brother of young Karen, and in exchange for
It was the Dornish cavalry who intensified their pursuit.
"Is it worth it?"
Seeing that there were less than ten familiar faces left, Karen's tears flowed down unconsciously, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Many people present lowered their heads and secretly wiped away tears. In fact, many people had already regretted it. It would be better to die than to live. If I had known this, it would be better not to choose this desperate and dangerous path.
But it is a pity that no one can sell regret medicine, and everyone must be responsible for their own choices.
Rumble
However, while this group of defecting Dornishmen were resting on the road, the roar of horse hooves was heard again from behind.
"How can it be?"
"It's impossible for them to chase them here, right?"
We have reached the territory of the Reach, but no one can answer his question. All the surviving Dornish people were frightened, including the young Cullen, and they all hurriedly climbed up and gripped the swords and spears in their hands.
However, heaven did not go as planned. At the end of the road leading to Cen Shutan, the familiar flag of the Fowler family in Tianji City was flying...
The Dornish cavalry were wrapped in white turbans and sand-yellow tabards, and rode slender but durable desert horses.
They hunted down this group of 'traitors' for several days and nights, and lost their way for a while, but finally found them again.
"Kill them!"
Then, accompanied by the roar of a Dornish warrior with a falcon emblem on his chest, all the Dornish cavalry responded in unison.
Rumble
Heavy horse hooves galloped on the road. They stared fiercely at their compatriots, then pulled out the bright scimitars at their waists and rushed towards the young Karen and others.
"Damn it!"
"We're doomed!"
"That's Master Owen Fowler!"
The faces of the fleeing Dornish people showed expressions of despair, including Karen himself. They also felt that they were dead.
They did not expect Lord Fowler's cavalry to be able to pursue them through the Prince's Pass and into the Reach area.
They thought they were safe, so they relaxed their vigilance and took an easier road, but they were caught up by the enemy. Now they were in danger. The terrain of the Reach was flat and unobstructed, but there were no woods or mountains for them to deal with.
A cavalry charge can kill them all in one encounter.
Moreover, Owen Fowler, the nephew of "Old Falcon" Franklin Fowler, was personally chasing after him. Franklin had two twin daughters. You must know that Owen is already the only male in the Fowler family.
Because of this, he was loved very much, and he was domineering and domineering all day long with no one to discipline him.
However, at this moment, the road is boundless, and when the young Karen and others fell into despair, the rumble of iron hoofbeats also sounded from the other side of the distant road leading to Cen Shutan.
This group of fleeing Dornish people quickly turned their heads and looked to the rear, and then saw a group of knights bearing the banner of the Ashford family of Ashford approaching from behind.
They were wearing bright and thick armor, and were armed to the teeth. Even their horses were covered with thick armor. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent. The flag-bearer held high the white flag of the Cenford family.
"My sun shines!"
The leading knight also wore the Cenfold family crest on his left arm, and then roared in a low voice.
"Kill all these intruders!"
"drink!"
All the Knights of the Reach roared in unison, holding their spears high and roaring in response.
It was obvious that the target of this group of Cenford family knights who suddenly appeared in the rear was the group of Dornish cavalry who were chasing the traitors, without even looking at Cullen and others.
Because this group of Dornish cavalry has crossed the border and came to the land of the local lord, and they also want to kill people at will on this land.
During this period, the conflict between the two sides intensified. This was not the first or second time that the Dornish cavalry had done this. They had almost regarded the Reach as their back garden, which naturally aroused the anger of the local nobles.
This is their first step in counterattack.
"quick!"
"Quick! Dodge to the side of the road!"
"Get out of the way!"
The group of Dornishmen who were caught between the two groups of cavalry seemed to be frightened. Only the young Karen reacted first. He realized that the knights of the Reach were not targeting him, and he quickly spoke loudly to remind his companions.
All the Dornishmen recovered and hurriedly fled to both sides of the road to make way for the cavalry.
"Go, go, go!"
On the other side, Owen Fowler, who commanded the Dornish cavalry, saw that the knights in the Reach also did not flinch, but ordered to speed up and charge forward.
Bang
But at this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the knight formation of the Cenford family, directly and accurately hitting Sir Owen Fowler, the leader of the Dornish cavalry.
puff
Old Fowler's nephew immediately screamed in pain, and then fell off his horse after being hit by an arrow, causing dust to fly.
