Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 117 Joffrey Got It

It was the horses who first felt the anomaly in the west.

They scratched their hoofs restlessly, snorting loudly with their thick nostrils.

So the mercenaries began to check the surrounding area, including the pier near the Lion's Gate and the east, but found nothing.The golden robes guarding the city huddled behind the crenels, not even daring to show their heads.

There was hardly a single longship near the usually busy docks, and since Stannis decided to block Blackwater Bay, only half of them remained.After the allied army of fish and wolves came, all the ships hid on the south bank of the Blackwater River, including the longships of the Royal Fleet that was still loyal to Joffrey I.

After a while, Arthur and the mercenaries knew what was making the horses uneasy.

Even across King's Landing, they could see the red glow of the flames to the west.

Of course, there are also a few wisps of green light mixed in.

"Let's go back." Arthur suddenly understood what was wrong.

The gold robes defending the city should have attacked the coalition camp with wildfire.

According to the original plot, King's Landing has been preparing for Stannis' attack, so Cersei secretly ordered the Alchemist Association to make wildfire as her biggest trump card.

Wildfire is no different from ordinary fire except that it burns fast and the flame is green.

But in a camp full of cloth tents and wooden siege ordnance, "burning fast" is the most deadly point.

Fortunately, there are not many qualified military commanders in King's Landing, and Roose Bolton and Aenys Frey's ability to command troops are considered qualified. The coalition forces should be able to handle this battle.

Arthur led more than 100 mercenaries to the north, bypassed the city wall, and then walked west for half a day before arriving near the Gate of the Gods in the northwest corner of King's Landing City.

Along the way, the siege soldiers of the Frey family also disappeared.

The camp of the coalition forces is about half a league to the west of King's Landing (on land, one league is about 8000 meters). From a long distance, everyone can hear the sound of fighting, screams and large ordnance burning there. crackling sound.

The gold robes and a small number of royal family soldiers should still be fighting the coalition forces.

According to reliable information, there are more than 8000 defenders in the city, and most of them are newly recruited civilians.

In other words, in pure combat, the coalition army, which is basically full-time family soldiers, is more than one level stronger than the King's Landing Defenders.

Arthur suddenly had an idea.

When the Junlin defenders return to the city, he can take advantage of the chaos and lead people to kill them.

If you are lucky, you can meet Joffrey, who likes to pretend to be a match. If you are not lucky, you can also intercept and kill the senior officers in King's Landing, weakening their strength.

"Get off your horses, send a few people to lead the horses and hide, and the rest will follow me." Arthur ordered to the leader of the mercenaries, Locke Holt.

Whether it was his golden-armored giant horse or the black-and-white striped horses of the Kohor mercenaries, they were all conspicuous and not suitable for ambushes.

Locke, who loves to count on his fingers, faithfully carried out his employer's orders.

So Arthur, holding a giant hammer and four weighted hatchets on his back, and the mercenaries in their early [-]s walked to a certain mound next to the Gate of the Gods, where they were preparing to wait for the returning King's Landing defenders.

Coincidentally, another large group of allies thought the same way.

Nearly three hundred swords and shields in mail and the twin towers of the Freys hid behind the mound.

"Is this Lord Arthur here?" The leader of the Frey family was a tall, bald man with red eyes, who looked very much like Innis Frey.

"Exactly, you are?" Since it was a friendly army, Arthur was not polite, and brought people together.

"My name is Aegon Frey, and my father is Aenys."

Arthur recalled it for a long time, and remembered the deeds of this man in the original book.He was called "Blooded" Aegon, and after the Battle of the Green Fork, he should have become a bandit.

The Frey family is now thriving, as both Walder Frey and his eldest son, Stevron, are extremely fertile.

Old Walder himself, had some 22 sons and nine daughters, as well as countless illegitimate children.They continued to multiply until the Freys numbered in the hundreds.

But there was only one heir to the Twins and the Crossings, so the Freys who came later in the line of succession had to find their own way.

According to Old Walder's arrangement, the Freys have three main ways out:
One is to marry other nobles, and then let the married Frey go to his wife's natal family to develop;
The second is the positioning of officers and soldiers like Innis and Hosting to serve the territory of the river crossing;

The third is to join the Academy City or the Church of the Seven Gods, such as Luchen Frey, who is an influential archbishop, and William Frey, the seventeenth son of Walder, who received the Academy City necklace before the age of 30 Excellent bachelor.

There are hundreds of Freys, not all of them are cunning and ruthless people like old Walder, there are also loyal people like Stevron who died for Robb, and there is even "Arie the Concierge" who opened for everyone. own door.

And the "Aegon in Blood" in front of him should be most famous for being aggressive and bloodthirsty.

"What are you doing here?" Arthur asked after letting the mercenaries hide.

"I am going to ambush the defenders of King's Landing..." Aegon Frey explained his plan to Arthur in detail.

He was originally in charge of the defense near the old city gate, but when he noticed something was wrong, he found that all the Frey soldiers near the Gods Gate had died, so he summoned the Frey soldiers near the Dragon Gate to prepare for a big fight.

This coincides with Bracken's idea.

So the two led their troops and waited quietly for the King's Landing defenders who returned to the city.

Not long after, several riders returned with hundreds of walking golden robes.

"Dog mask, this person is a hound."

"Aegon in Blood" said excitedly suddenly.

The Hound is Sandor Clegane, brother of the Mountain.If nothing else, Sandor has inherited the small territory and castle of the Magic Mountain.

After the gate of the Gods' Gate slowly opened and the leading riders entered, Arthur and "Aegon in Blood" rushed up with more than [-] people.

……

Inside the gate of the gods.

Joffrey I, who stood at the city gate waiting for the news of victory, looked at the returning Sandor Clegane.

The latter is lifting his mask.

"Hound, have you won the battle?" the king in gorgeous plate armor asked urgently.

"No, I was still fighting before I came back. There are still a lot of people in the north, and the gold robes can barely even out."

Sandor replied.

Behind Clegane, the gold robes lined up for the city.Their progress was slow as the king's nobles blocked the way.

"Then what are you doing back here?" Joffrey asked a little angrily.

"I'm afraid of fire, red and green. The fire over there is too big!"

"Go back and fight." His Majesty the King pointed to the outside of the city, "I let a dog become the Kingsguard, and you didn't work hard for me."

But Sandor just took the wine handed by the servant and drank it vigorously, ignoring the king's order.

This made Joffrey furious, "If you stay here, I will have my grandfather, Duke Lannister, deprive you of your lands."

Sandor threw the cowhide wine bag to the ground after drinking, "F*** Wildfire, F*** Lannister."

These two words stunned everyone present. In King's Landing, no one dares to speak like this in front of the king.

But Sandor's next words shocked Joffrey and the defenders even more:

"The f***ing king!"

After Sandor Clegane finished speaking, he ignored the group of shocked boys, got on his horse, and headed out of the city.

At this time, the sound of swords clashing outside the gate of the gods also spread into the city.

"Your Majesty, someone has rushed in." A responsive golden robe reported.

"You still need to tell me?" Joffrey gave the man a very resentful look.

The hound's disobedience made him both surprised and hated. What surprised him was that the servant who used to be obedient and obedient suddenly changed a face he didn't recognize. What he hated was that his public disobedience made him humiliated.

He even intended to shoot the Hound with his winch crossbow, but he didn't bring the toy with him.

The hunting dog rode a horse, avoiding hundreds of fighting soldiers all the way, and headed out of the city.

Arthur was rushing inside when he suddenly saw Sandor Clegane riding out, so he raised his sledgehammer and was ready to go.

Unexpectedly, the hound didn't even look at him, and went straight out of the city.

"Aegon in Blood" behind Arthur was very puzzled, "Hound, come down and fight with me."

The Frey was aggressive and wanted to rush to fight Clegane, but Arthur held him back.

"See if Joffrey and Greenfield are there, that's what you're fighting for, let's go and fuck them."

For some reason, Joffrey had only one Kingsguard named Prester Greenfield with him.

The rest of Baron Swann, Marin Tran, Mandon Moore and others were not there.

"Aegon in Blood" was overjoyed immediately, "A king's blood is enough to satisfy my great sword."

Regardless of the dozens of golden robes and royal guards in front of him, he rushed straight forward with his sword waving.

Several of the Freys' swords and shields stood behind the commander.

Arthur was happy to pick up a leak, and followed behind, ready to snatch Joffrey.

This Foyle was worthy of his nickname, killing blood and flesh flying all the way, and the gold robes couldn't stop him at all.

Kingsguard Priest yelled in fright: "Get Your Majesty on the horse, let Your Majesty on the horse, and escort him to the Red Keep."

A loyal royal guard brought in a horse, but Arthur saw the target and chopped off the horse's front legs with a single blow from the handaxe.

Joffrey was very frightened by the menacing enemy and the axe, and his face was pale.

More than a dozen royal guards from the Stormlands held large shields and formed a shield formation to protect the king and move to the Red Keep.

But "Aegon in Blood" killed faster, rushing to the back of the shield within a few breaths.

So Sir Priest led several people out of the shield formation, and fought with "Aegon in the Blood" and Frey's sword and shield soldiers.

Following behind, Arthur bypassed the area and strode towards Joffrey.

After catching up with the shield formation, he held up the sledgehammer and smashed open the shield twice. Probably because of panic, a royal guard fell down, and even the king with him was tripped.

Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Arthur wielded a sledgehammer and knocked down several royal guards in twos and twos. Seeing that Arthur was too fierce, the remaining four or five people slipped away quietly.

Bracken, who was free, pulled out a handaxe from his back and gave Joffrey the back of the axe on the head. After directly making him faint, he carried him on his shoulders by the waist, and rushed out of the city.

In the dim night, the sound of gold and stone near the Gate of the Gods was loud, and about [-] people were fighting here.

Arthur quickly walked across the battlefield, wielding a sledgehammer and smashed out of King's Landing.

"Back, back," he called to the Qohor sellswords and Frey Sword and Shield.

The mercenaries are all veterans, and most of them rushed out after hearing the retreat.Most of the Frey Sword and Shield soldiers followed their commander and fought to the death, only 50 people left with Arthur.

The nobles with some military power in the city should have gone to attack the camp, so not many people rushed out to snatch their king back.

Arthur and the others were able to leave the battlefield smoothly, and then the mercenaries rode on horses and the sword and shield soldiers walked towards the camp.

In order to avoid the King's Landing defenders who were returning to the city, he deliberately walked half a circle to the north.

……

"My God!" Arthur, who led the people back to the camp, looked at the mess on the ground and couldn't help but sigh loudly.

The camp of more than 6000 people has turned into a sea of ​​flames. It is almost autumn, the grass is withered and yellow, and the fire cannot be stopped.

The battlefield between the King's Landing Defenders and the Allied Forces of Fish and Wolves has already moved. People will be roasted if they fight near such a sea of ​​flames.

According to the sounds of fighting, the current battlefield should be on the banks of the Blackwater River a little to the south, where there are few trees and close to the water source, which is more suitable for the current battlefield.

So he led his men around the large sea of ​​flames from the north, and prepared to return to the coalition forces from behind.

Joffrey, who was knocked unconscious, was placed horizontally on the golden armored giant horse. He is a qualified dragon hatching material.

I don't know where Uncle Yule is?

Now that Arthur has snatched Joffrey, it is natural to start hatching dragons.

With a dragon, even if he can't ride it, he still has a certain qualification to be a king.

As for the territory, we have to fight slowly.

After walking for another half an hour, they bypassed the flames and arrived at the bank of the Blackwater River.

Now there are two pieces of news in front of Arthur: the good news is that part of the fish-wolf alliance is really here, and the bad news is that these soldiers of the alliance are about to be overwhelmed.

Thanks to the reflection of the sea of ​​fire, Arthur saw the current situation clearly.

About a few hundred Stark soldiers in the robes of severed wolves and the soldiers from various families in the river are resisting the golden robes of more than 4000 people, and the rest of the coalition forces have disappeared.

"The damned old Skinner!"

Thinking about it with your feet, you can understand that Bolton must have seen that Arthur was not there, so he sent his men to break off with some of the Stark soldiers.

Even if Joffrey is captured, Arthur can't just leave, he has to save the soldiers before leaving.

After selecting a few reliable mercenaries to guard the dragon hatching material, Arthur dismounted and stopped drinking.

"follow me!"

Then he led the people towards the center of the battlefield.

The mercenaries and Frey Sword and Shield soldiers had seen Arthur's bravery, so they naturally knew that the safest place was behind him.

So more than 150 people piled up together, roughly shaped like a triangular arrow, inserted into the center of the battle between the two armies from the north, and then turned to the enemy army in the east.

Arthur, who was wielding a sledgehammer, was so powerful that he could take away a golden robe wearing a chain armor with a single hammer, which made the fresh army rush directly to the command center of the golden robes.

Baron Swann of the Kingsguard and Janos Sterling, Commander of the Golden Robes, were in charge of the raid, and Arthur, who was advancing all the way, naturally attracted their attention.

The tall and burly Sterling is not very courageous, not to mention that he has just won the title of Duke and the territory of Harrenhal, so he is naturally very reluctant to die.

"I heard that this person once hammered and killed the Devil's Mountain. Thinking about it, none of us can beat him. The task of attacking the coalition forces and destroying the siege weapons has been completed. Why don't we retreat!"

Although it was a question, Sterling spoke in an exclamation tone.

Baron Swen was also considered a qualified military commander, knowing that he had to preserve his strength to defend King's Landing City, so he agreed to retreat.

"Go back to the city, go back to the city." Several messengers conveyed this order to the golden robes.

The rear team directly became the front team, and more than [-] people began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

After the fighting golden robe left the battle, the coalition soldiers did not pursue it.

When the fighting had ceased completely, Arthur ordered a count of the men, treated the wounded, and began to advance westward.

After counting the number of people, some bad news also reached his ears.

In the confusion, the little devil let the mercenary Bronn, who had been tied up all the time, be untied, and then slipped away.

Daniel Gendry, Arya and others were also gone.
