Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 187 The Fortress Falls
Upstairs above the city gate, Cortnay Penrose, acting castellan of Storm's End, had a stern face, and his wrinkled face seemed to kill flies.

Why the sudden attack?
Storm's End has been besieged for more than ten days, and there has been no attack.Obviously the enemy also understands the power of this fortress.

So why did it change today?How is it different today?
Unfortunately, the information is unknown.

Cortanay Penrose could only remain puzzled.After all, Storm's End is under siege, and no one is sending any more information here.

He can understand.

If you use the raven to send important information here, if it is intercepted by the enemy, the loss will be great, and it may even affect the victory or defeat of the war.

Because of this, Cortnay Penrose knew next to nothing of the war situation outside Storm's End.

Where has His Majesty Renly been?
Were there any battles, what kind of battles were there, where were they fought, and how were they won or lost?

The army is marching on King's Landing?
Neither Cortnay Penrose knew.He could only guess without mixing personal feelings as much as possible, and adjust the layout of Storm's End according to the possible situation.

The only source of intelligence and observation is the enemy barracks outside the city.

Cortnay Penrose was debriefed twice a day by his men, and often climbed up the walls himself to observe with his own eyes any changes in the barracks.

The results are quite optimistic.

The huge black deer banner with a golden background still stands above Joffrey's big tent, and directly opposite there is another golden lion banner with a red background of the same specification, and under the banner is another luxurious crimson tent.

At first no one in the city knew what it represented, but it was later discovered that it was just a toy that Joffrey made for his pleasure.

The golden tent is used to hold banquets, and the red tent is used to satisfy selfish desires.

Although many people felt that this seemed to be similar to His Majesty Renly's temperament, it at least proved Joffrey's willfulness and readiness for a long-term confrontation.

Apart from this change, other aspects of the barracks are surprisingly reassuring.

The soldiers of the enemy army just lined up once a day, shouted slogans, sang a few strange songs, and then there was no other unified action.

most of the day.

Looking from the city wall, the entire barracks seemed to be a chaotic market, and the atmosphere was not serious at all.

After this situation continued for a few days, many sergeants in the city began to be eager to try, and asked Ser Cortanay Penrose to lead the army out of the city for a sneak attack to dampen the morale of the enemy.

No one thought that such an enemy army could remain vigilant at all times.

But Cortnay Penrose was still vigilant, and his prudent temperament made him order no risk.As long as you defend Storm's End, it is a great achievement, even if you win the battle outside the city, it is not considered an achievement.

In any case, the defenders in the city are fewer than the enemy, and there is no personnel to replenish.

Even if it is not an enemy trap, if the raid is successful, there will be losses for one's own soldiers, and the defense of the castle will be weakened.Cortanay would never do that.

As for whether it was an enemy trap, there was no chance to verify it.

The two sides have spent the past ten days in this delicate balance, each calm, but unable to really relax completely.

until today.

Cortanay Penrose looked at the enemy below, feeling faintly uneasy.

The three enemy armies were divided into three sides and surrounded them. They were close enough to count their numbers, each with a thousand in three rows; far away beyond the attack range of all equipment, everyone on the city wall could only stare blankly.

woo~~~~~~
The miserable flute sounded long and long, resounding through the entire sky.

The atmosphere instantly became more dull.

The soldiers on the city wall couldn't help raising their spirits, and nervously checked the bows and crossbows and the catapult hinges at hand repeatedly to gain a sense of security.

The proportion of people who defended the city were killed was much smaller than that of the attackers, yes, everyone knew that.

But once the city is broken...

The officers patrolled around the city wall, loudly conveying instructions to get everyone ready, listen to the command, aim and hit, no advance, no hesitation, no accidental injury.

Cortanay Penrose was still thinking about the question: Why did he choose to launch the attack today?

boom boom-

A series of loud explosions interrupted his thoughts and extinguished the voices of the officers.

boom~~
Violent tremors came from under his feet, one after another, the power was continuously superimposed, shaking Storm's End even more than the biggest storm.

Cortanay Penrose stared at the army formation ahead, his pupils trembling.

what did i see !

Waves of white mist emerged from the gaps in the enemy's ranks, and the black shadow rushed towards him with a shriek, hitting directly below him.

That's the city gate!

Occasionally, a black shadow deviates from the track, plows a deep passage on the earth and rocks in front of the city wall, or blows up a charred pit. On the contrary, it makes people see its terrifying power and morale is even lower.

woo~~~
The sound of the flute continued, but now it sounded like the roar of the devil, the devil's smirk.

"Come on~~!"

Amidst the thick and passionate sound of the flute, the Holy Shield fighters have no fear in their hearts, only determination and enthusiasm, move forward!forward!Go on!

Isn't this the mission of the shield!Four hundred Holy Shield warriors ran towards the city gate with all their might.

"Iron Bull" Gendry was one of them.

For today's glorious first battle, he solemnly put on his most cherished, personally crafted bull head helmet.This is also the origin of his title of "Iron Bull".

woo~~~
The long sound of the flute, for "Iron Bull", is the clarion call to celebrate victory, the call of a bright future, and everything he cares about at this moment.

war!victory! !

He exhausted all his strength, just to run at the forefront of the team and step into the city gate first.

The air continued to hit his helmet, and the violent wind poured in through the gap, whistling with his breathing, and the armor rattled.

But all he heard was the whistle of battle.

All he saw was the dilapidated suspension bridge and city gate, the city gate hole with wood, stone and steel splashing everywhere.

close!Closer!

Suddenly, many shadows appeared in the field of vision, which interfered with the picture of the city gate ahead.

Boom!despair!Snapped……

Countless stones and crossbows struck him head-on, most of them fell on the ground, and some hit his companions.

thump~
The echoing impact was carried into his head through the Iron Bull's helmet.

Tieniu still didn't stop, but just shook off the gravel according to the rhythm, so as not to get stuck somewhere and affect his progress.

He wasn't worried about damaging his precious helmet.

With the power of accumulated divine favor, the helmet has become the shield of his shield.

Arrived!

Flames were already burning in front of the city gate, and hot oil was splashed like a torrential rain.

"Iron Bull" sprints.

He was not injured at all, just consumed some of the power of the Holy Shield, and the accumulation of more than ten days was enough to support the entire battle.

Looking around, he finally stopped.

I am the first?
"Sergeant Ai Xi, you lead the second squad to clear the killing hole!"

Essie, who was struggling to keep up with Lieutenant Gendry, immediately pointed to the steam injector behind him, "Please rest assured, the platoon leader, we will never let anyone go!"

"Sergeant Hawke, the third squad guards the city gate."

"Iron Bull" waved his hand, "Follow me in the first class, and capture Kotanai alive!"

"kill!"

"Iron Bull" rushed first, chopped down the rushing guards, crossed the dilapidated iron gate, and stepped into Storm's End.

soon.

More soldiers poured in in squads...
