Chapter 169 Fighting
Crack, crack, crack!
Outside the northern gate of Seagull Town, four thousand Dragonstone soldiers lined up in neat formation.Stannis took Davos, Roland and others rode on horseback and waited quietly at the forefront of the army formation.

Long before dawn, the scouting cavalry brought back the news that Leonor Corbray, the king of the Five Fingers Peninsula, led an army of five thousand to attack Seagull Town.

In addition to the original inner castle of the Grafson family in Seagull Town, the town is surrounded by low walls and does not have the conditions to hold on to the city.

I don't know if Stannis wants to protect the civilians and wealthy businessmen in Seagull Town, or for other reasons.He completely disregarded the dissuasion of the two of Davos, and was very confident to personally lead the troops in formation, wanting to fight in the field outside the city.

Woo~~!

With the sound of a melodious horn, Leonor led his [-] army and kept approaching Seagull Town.Thousands of them deliberately stomped their footsteps from far to near, and a shocking force rushed towards the soldiers of Dragonstone Island.

However, these remaining soldiers of Dragonstone Island are Stannis's battle-hardened direct line troops.He lined up in the army with a calm face, without any expression of fear or panic.

Since the cavalry in the valley was basically concentrated in the Eagle's Nest City, Leonor's 5000 men only had a cavalry force of about 800.

As for Stannis, who was defeated in the city of King's Landing, his direct troops were originally the crew of the royal fleet, so his cavalry troops were even fewer, with less than 500 people.

According to the war tradition of Westeros, the cavalry troops of both sides broke away from the army formation and came to the forefront, preparing to start increasing their own cavalry hedge.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing Stannis let his own cavalry, which was obviously at a disadvantage, hedge against him, Davos, who was a smuggler, opened his mouth to dissuade him.

But as soon as he yelled, Stannis raised his hand to stop his remonstrance, then turned his head and asked loudly to the army behind him: "Have you not finished your prayers to my lord?"

"Your Majesty, the prayers are over. I will send the Lord of Light's blessing to our army, and you will surely win this war!"

Melisandre, who was dressed in a red robe, walked out of the army formation with a charming posture after hearing the words, and at the same time she opened her mouth to answer.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Please let the cavalry draw their weapons!"

Hearing Melisandre's words, Stannis immediately gave orders to nearly five hundred cavalrymen.

Swish, swish!
Hey!
Seeing that the five hundred Dragonstone cavalry drew out their long swords in unison after obeying the order, Melisandre immediately murmured a spell similar to Valyrian in a low voice.

The ruby ​​necklace around her neck flickered as her spell ended.The long swords in the hands of these five hundred cavalry suddenly ignited raging fire.

Whoa!
The nearly [-] people outside Seagull Town were shocked by the sudden change, and there was an uproar of exclamation, fear and other emotions.

However, it's not over yet!
After taking a deep breath, Melisandre raised her hands and aimed at the five hundred cavalrymen in front of her.He began chanting the Valyrian-like incantation quickly again.

As the spell in her mouth ended, a black shadow flashed in her eyes this time, and the eyes of the five hundred cavalrymen instantly became pitch black, and in the shadows of the cavalrymen, pairs appeared as if drawn out by lines. s eyes.

"Cavalry charge!"

Seeing that Melisandre finally nodded to him, Stannis drew his long sword and swung it forward.Five hundred Dragonstone soldiers with dark eyes immediately charged on horseback with no expression on their faces.

Da da da!
Seeing the enemy cavalry charging towards him, Leonor pulled a sly smile and waved his hand to order: "The archers will shoot a volley, and the cavalry will charge again."

Huh, huh, huh!
Following Leonor's order, a wave of parabolic arrow rain fell on the Dragonstone cavalry who charged to the attack range.In an instant, nearly a hundred horses were shot, and the cavalrymen of Dragonstone Island who were shot critically fell to the ground with their horses and men.

After the rain of arrows, the [-] cavalrymen of the Corbray family launched a group charge together.Although their charging distance is short, the charging kinetic energy they carry is not enough.

But their number was twice that of the Dragonstone cavalry who had been baptized by the rain of arrows.

However, as the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, the Cobray family cavalry immediately realized that something was wrong.Most of the remaining [-] Dragonstone cavalry had arrows stuck in their bodies and blood, but they continued to charge as if they didn't hear anything.

Bang, bang, bang!
Cavalry hedges are always accompanied by various bloody scenes.Blood, severed limbs, and corpses keep increasing.Continuous wailing and screams began to sound on the battlefield.

However, these wailing sounds were all made by the Corbray family cavalry!

Even though the dragonstone cavalry were pierced by steel lances, they were knocked to the ground by sharp swords.As long as the vital parts were not hit, they continued to fight silently with blood all over their bodies. This zombie-like posture looked very penetrating.

"They're not human!"

"Devil, it's a demon!"

"Run away!"

About one-third of the 500 Corbray family cavalry lost, and their morale collapsed.The remaining [-] cavalrymen of the Corbray family screamed and fled towards their own army.

Behind them, the remaining nearly [-] Dragonstone cavalry continued to pursue them, covered in blood.

"The enemy wants to escape, the whole army charges!"

Seeing that his own cavalry were winning more with fewer cavalry, Stannis immediately raised his arms and shouted, giving the order for the whole army to attack.

"It's all trash! All the infantry line up to prepare for battle, and the archers aim at the enemy cavalry and shoot at me!"

Seeing the defeat of his own cavalry, Leonor cursed fiercely, and immediately commanded his army to fight.

Huh, huh, huh!
The archers of the Corbray family began to draw their bows and shoot flat. At this moment, due to the very close distance, these archers suddenly became a little flustered, and the effect of this wave of flat shooting was not particularly obvious.

After shooting this round, they didn't bother to check the results of the battle at all, and then slowly fled into the infantry phalanx of their own side.

Bang, bang, bang!
After another downsizing, the Dragonstone cavalry, which had only about 200 left, was fearless in the face of nearly [-] enemy soldiers.Just like that, he started rushing straight.

Whoa, whoa!
Masses of horses and Dragonstone cavalry were impaled by the lances of House Corbray's infantry.

But what shocked the soldiers of the Corbray family was that these Dragonstone cavalrymen who were covered in blood on their spears, as long as they didn't hurt their heads, hearts or other vital parts, they would still continue to attack with their weapons.

A small number of Dragonstone cavalry rushed into the formation, causing a burst of panic.Even though these zombie-like dragonstone cavalrymen were hacked to blood by the enemies in the army formation, they could still struggle to take away many enemies.

Huh, huh, huh!
Even though the Dragonstone cavalry were terrifying, their numbers were rapidly decreasing in the face of the sheer number of enemies.However, the main force led by Stannis himself has arrived.There was a burst of covering arrow rain attacks head-on.

Oh!

Bang, bang!
The soldiers of the Corbray family, whose attention was attracted by the dragonstone cavalry, were completely stunned by the wave of arrows.People kept falling to the ground with arrows, and the formation, which was already scattered by the impact, had begun to collapse.

"Hold on! Hold on...

Falk, charge with me! "

Seeing that his formation began to collapse, Leonor immediately yelled loudly to stabilize the situation, but it didn't work at all.In the end, he simply drew out his long sword and wanted to lead the charge.

call!
Hey!
At this moment, an orange flame shot from nowhere hit him, instantly lighting Leonor to a human-shaped torch.

what! ! !
Leonor fell under the horse, screaming and struggling continuously, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.

But this is not an ordinary flame at all, no matter how he flutters.In a short period of time, his movements gradually weakened until he was burned to ashes by the orange flames without moving.

"Your Majesty is dead!"

"His Majesty Leonor was burned to death!"

"Run away, let's go back to the Five Fingers Peninsula!"

Leonor's death was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the army formation of the Corbray family soldiers collapsed directly.At least nearly 4000 of the Cobrey family's army left immediately began to disperse and flee.

"Tell them to kneel down and surrender and not die, try to capture them!"

Seeing that the enemy was easily collapsed, Stannis immediately began to order his Dragonstone soldiers to capture the enemy's deserters alive as much as possible.

Davos, whose long sword was not stained with blood, was at the end of the charge formation, and he kept watching Leonor being burned to ashes alive.

Finally, he looked back at Melisandre who was emitting that magical flame.The red-robed woman who met his eyes instantly showed him a very seductive smile.

Gollum!

However, Davos immediately turned his head as if he had seen a ghost, swallowing nervously.

In the following time, the soldiers of Dragonstone Island captured nearly [-] deserters from the Corbray family.Since all the cavalry on Dragonstone Island died heroically, most of the remaining one thousand deserters were enemy cavalry, and the infantry could not pursue them at all.

In the end, Stannis won the absolute victory of standing in the valley at the cost of [-] cavalry of his own.

When Anda Royce was three days away from Seagull Town with an army of 3000 people, he received information that Seagull Town had fallen into the hands of Stannis Baratheon.

Moreover, the king of the Five Fingers Peninsula who wanted to attack Runestone City failed in the battle to take back Seagull Town, and was personally killed by the king of Dragonstone Island.

Although he had heard that Stannis had lost at the city of King's Landing, he was still not sure about the details of the opponent's military strength. Whether it was an enemy or a friend, Anda did not rashly attack Seagull Town.

A few days later, Anda received the information reported by the spies, knowing that even with the captives of the Corbray family, Stannis only had about half of his own troops.

At the same time, Runestone City received a letter from Raven from Seagull Town, and Stannis actually asked Anda to surrender!

The letter stated that as long as Anda led troops to submit to him, when he became the king of the seven kingdoms, he would appoint Anda as the guardian of the valley.

Originally, he wanted to win over Stannis to form an ally and deal with Littlefinger and Tyrion together.After tearing up the letter, Anda called all the noble earls of the valley who had defected to him, and held a military meeting in the conference hall of Runestone City.

When he told the contents of Stannis' letter, the Earls of the Vale immediately laughed.Then everyone agrees that Stannis has gone mad and is neither friend nor foe!
In the end, Anda decided to fight Stannis, take Seagull Town, and completely bring the east and north of the valley under his control.

When the military council was disbanded, only Anda was left in the conference hall with a slender figure and a handsome face, wearing a sculpted family crest and strange rune armor.

And standing in a dark corner, wearing a slim black hooded robe, with a pure white mask with only eyes and mouth on her face.

"Ella! Tell me, is my choice correct? In fact, my original purpose was simply to save my father!"

Anda leaned his head on the chair and asked with a tired expression.

The woman named Ira walked slowly behind Anda, stretched out her gloved hands to massage his temples, and said softly: "Anda, no matter what choice you make, I will support you unconditionally." .I said, I could die for you!"

"Ayla, I don't want you to say such things again! The gods let me save you who were shipwrecked and about to die. This is our destiny!

When I rescue my father, I will marry you as my queen under his witness! "

When Adachi heard this, he grabbed Ella's right hand with his right hand with a moved face, and then spoke in a sincere tone.

Hearing Anda's words, Ella's massaging movements froze, and a sigh came from under her white mask: "Oh, I don't know if your father will accept me."

"He will definitely accept it! Besides, even if he doesn't accept it! I will definitely marry you!"

Hearing Ella's words, Anda stood up excitedly, turned around and hugged Ella behind her.

Because he moved too violently, his right hand accidentally tore off the glove of Ayla's right hand, revealing the dark skin color like charred under the glove.

The next day, the Raven of Runestone City flew towards Seagull Town with Anda's letter to Stannis.

He meant only two things, either the two families formed an alliance against Littlefinger and Tyrion, or there was bound to be a war between the two families.

Due to being instilled and brainwashed by Melisandre during the period after the defeat, Stannis has been completely immersed in the prophecy that he is the savior chosen by the Lord of Light.

After reading Anda's letter, he tore it up immediately.Then he did not summon Davos and Roland to discuss, but negotiated with Melisandre in private.

Ultimately, he wanted to follow Bitterbridge's lead again.Let Melisandre go to assassinate Anda, and then take over the army of more than 1 people as the legal heir of the Seven Kingdoms.

After Stannis and Melisandre fought to the death and sacrificed their own blood.Melisandre, with a ruddy complexion and full of vigor, traveled from Seagull Town to Runestone City in a carriage driven by Stannis' personal guard.

A day later, at night, the carriage stopped in the woods a few kilometers away from Runestone City.

When the personal guard looked at Melisandre, who was still attractive before getting into the car, but was already in labor after getting out of the car, she immediately showed a shocked expression like a ghost.

However, out of loyalty to Stannis, he didn't ask more questions out of curiosity.After handing over the oil lamp in his hand to Melisandre, he faithfully stood by the carriage and waited patiently.

After Melisandre walked out of the depths of the woods alone, she found a clearing and began to pray again to give birth to the Shadow Killer.

But this time was different from the last assassination of Renly. With the end of the prayer, Melisandre's eyes became dark like the Dragonstone cavalry before.

The Shadow Killer's eyes opened like a real person's, and his eyes were as agile as a living person's.The shadow killer glanced at Melisandre, then turned into a black mist and floated towards Runestone City.

In the inner fort of Runestone City, Anda, who had finished his military and political affairs for the day, led Ella, and was walking from the tower of the conference hall to his bedroom. Two armed guards followed behind them.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

clang!
When the four of them walked to the garden of the inner castle, the two guards suddenly sounded a warning in unison. Just as Anda was about to turn around, the runes on his bronze armor shone, and he stabbed a black dagger from behind. block.

However, after blocking this fatal attack.The rune light on Anda's bronze armor suddenly went out, as if his energy was exhausted.

call!
The two guards drew their swords and slashed at the black shadow, but the black shadow instantly turned into black mist and drifted behind the two guards.

Whoa, whoa!
When the black mist floated behind the two guards, it condensed into a black shadow again, and at the same time, he condensed two black daggers on the left and right and pierced the back of the two guards' necks.

Bang, bang!
The two guards, who were fatally attacked, fell heavily to the ground clutching their necks, which were overflowing with blood.The black shadow who was not in the way of them stabbed at Anda again with a short dagger.

&*%#!

A Valyrian-like incantation familiar to Black Shadow rang out.

boom!
There was an inexplicable fluctuation in the air in front of the black shadow, and then it exploded suddenly.The black shadow, which had been invisible and untouched by anything, was directly blown out.

"Evil and dirty Shadowbinder, why did you attack my lover!"

Ella, wearing a white mask, stood in front of Anda and asked the black shadow that was blown away.

Hiss!

The black shadow seemed to want to communicate with Ayla, but he only let out a meaningless roar.

"Oh, can't talk? It seems that you are not proficient in shadow magic!"

Hearing the roar of the black shadow, Ella let out a mocking sound that seemed somewhat disdainful.

The black shadow seemed to be irritated by her, and immediately turned into a black mist and drifted towards Ella.

Seeing that her strategy of angering the enemy had worked, Ayla immediately put her gloved hands together and cast her magic towards the black shadow directly in front of her.

boom!
There was another inexplicable fluctuation in the air between Ayla and the black shadow, and the air without anything exploded again, making a loud sound.

However, only half of the black mist was blown out this time.The other half of the black mist bypassed Ella at some point, condensed into a black shadow with only the right side of her body, and rushed towards Anda behind her.

"No!"

Ella, who turned around, let out a roar, and she immediately took off her white mask and threw it to the ground.As the white mask broke, a translucent mist quickly melted into Ella's body.

After losing the mask, the eyes of Ella, who showed a delicate face but dark skin, suddenly brightened, and she stretched out her left hand and pulled towards the void on the left.

The air on the left side of Anda, who was in a defensive posture, immediately produced a lot of fluctuations, as if a giant hand that had been invisible was pulling him far away.Directly let half of the black shadow's attack fail.

Black Shadow seemed to understand that he couldn't kill Anda without dealing with Ella first.As a result, two pieces of black mist surged towards Ella in the middle.

Ella stretched out her hands indifferently, and kept chanting spells with strange tones.

When these two pieces of black mist came in front of Ella, she suddenly seemed to hit an invisible obstacle and couldn't move on.They immediately twisted and wanted to retreat, but they couldn't do it either.

Hey!
Ella took out two pieces of flint with sparks from her arms with both hands, and threw them at the two fixed pieces of black mist respectively.Bright flames blazed, scorching the invisible black mist.

Zi, Zi!
The two sheets of black mist that kept making burning sounds twisted and expanded, and two square air grids filled with flames appeared.The two pieces of black mist were finally burned up in the two air grids.

puff!
Deep in the woods outside Runestone City, Melisandre's eyes darkened, and a mouthful of blood spewed out towards the open space in front of her.

"How could there be a cloud mage playing with air magic here?

No, I'm being backlashed by magic power now, I have to get out of here quickly! "
