Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 73 Flames
"Where did these knights come from?" Mace asked very angrily.

Time and time again, the opponent seems to know their movements, and every time the cavalry in Gaoting arrives, the opponent flees first.

The attack continued until midnight.

By daybreak, Mace Tyrell's eyes were red.

He sat on a velvet blanket and listened to reports of damage.They suffered heavy losses, and the enemy left behind only dozens of corpses.

It's over, it's over.At first, he wondered why these people brought wine, but later he realized that it was used for burning, but can wine be ignited?
He ordered a jug of wine to be brought and threw it into the fire, and the fire was extinguished.He cursed angrily, "Bastard, who can tell me what kind of wine this is?"

He took out the bag of violently breathing liquid.If there were bachelors present, they might be able to explain it to him, but unfortunately, all the knights present were present, and they were good at drinking.The wine ignited when it caught fire, and was thrown on the carriage again and again by those guys, and then burned violently.

At this time, the sky was very bright, and the early sun was like fire, burning half of the sky. The red color was so dazzling in the eyes of the Duke of Metz. All the food and siege equipment were burned. Important armaments are coming to burn.

"My lord duke." Fortimo rode over with a bitter expression on his face. He led his knights to put out fires and worked all night. "All our food was burned."

"What did you say?" Mace's eyes widened. This is food for tens of thousands of people, so it's gone?In his mind, even if those wheat grains were used to pave the ground, it would be possible to get from here to King's Landing.

"My lord, our food is barley and rye, and a fire can burn a cart."

Now is not the time to discuss the loss. Metz must quickly gather people together, so that the remaining luggage cannot be burned.

He sent out all the knights under his command, let people abandon those burned carriages, and gathered all the convoys together, like a long snake-like convoy, compressed into a small piece, just like a greedy snake that was raised with great difficulty , bumped his head and turned into a short one.

Marching in this way slowed down the speed of the convoy. The knights led a large group of people to patrol back and forth. In addition to food and siege equipment, the convoy also transported a large amount of armor and luggage. Collecting, equipment can also be cut down and rebuilt, Mace comforted himself.

His king's son-in-law shouldn't make things too difficult for him. Although he cannot be blamed for this loss, who would have thought that the guerrilla cavalry who had been invisible all this time would suddenly appear at this time. Before transporting the supplies, he A lot of convoys have been dispatched ahead, and judging from the responses, it seems that Rose Avenue is safe.

There were neither Stannis' troops nor enemies in King's Landing.This made him dare to gather the luggage together for transportation with confidence and boldness.He was already cautious enough, originally Bitterbridge was not far from Storm's End.

They walked into the Royal Forest that night, and Lord Mace, who had been riding for a day and a night, was exhausted long ago. He asked his servants to set up a tent and rest in his own place, while Sir Fortimer led the knights to continue escorting the convoy forward. .

He was lying in the camp tent and was sleeping in a daze. In his dream, he was surrounded by flames, and countless flames came from all directions.Suddenly he was awakened, only to see a bright light outside the account.

Duke Mace jumped out of bed, and walked out of the tent in a velvet nightgown. At this time, the attendant rushed into the tent and bumped into him.

The Duke cursed loudly, "What are you doing in such a hurry!"

"My lord, fire. Fire." The attendant hesitated for a long time, but Duke Metz pushed him away and walked out of the tent.

In an instant, he stared straight at his eyes, and sat down on the ground with a thud. In front of his eyes were endless flames, which shot up into the sky, illuminating the whole world like the sun.

A knight hurried to the horse, "Lord Tyrell, our caravan has been attacked."

Mace walked over furiously, grabbed the knight and pulled him down, "Why did I get attacked? Didn't I tell Fortimo to be on guard?"

"They sent a large number of cavalry to harass them first, and Sir Fortimo led a large group of people to pursue them."

Mace knew the result without thinking about it.

"Idiot, this goddamn idiot, why would he fall for such an obvious scam." Metz gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.

"Your Excellency, let's go, the flames are coming here." The knight was still admonishing him.

The Duke of Metz yelled at his attendants to bring the horses. He didn't even have time to put on his armor. Under the protection of a group of cavalry, he retreated in the direction of the Bitter Bridge.

Sir Fortimer led a large group of Highgarden cavalry in pursuit of this army in front. Did this group of people think they could succeed in another sneak attack?That would underestimate him, Fortimo Klianen, the number of this cavalry is about five hundred, and the armor is well equipped. It seems that they are not ordinary people, but the advantage still lies with me.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, someone shouted, "Behind, look behind."

Flames blazed up from behind, and Sir Fortimer turned his head abruptly. It was their convoy.

His heart was startled, the secret passage was terrible, he was deceived, in order to chase the cavalry, he brought out almost all the cavalry, but there were at least [-] infantry, how could he be successfully attacked so easily.

"My lord, do we still want to pursue?" the knight beside him asked him.

Fortimo looked at the monstrous beast-like flame behind him, his lips were almost bitten to the point of bleeding, and he squeezed out a word between his teeth. "Chase."

Destroying this cavalry is an opportunity for him to make up for his mistakes. Presumably he has served the Tyrell family for many years, and he has worked hard without credit.

"Looks like Master Julius has succeeded." The cavalry fleeing in front also saw the sea of ​​flames behind them. Such a huge flame is really inconceivable.

Now this cavalry is led by Sir Geoffrey, who is leading his men into the king's forest.This time he really saw what this Jazz did.

It may not be so brilliant, but it seems that every move of the enemy is under his nose. Last night he charged forward alone, and Jeffrey followed behind.

Geoffrey was always worried about the enemy's reinforcements coming, but they just went back and forth between the enemy's convoys, but they couldn't see the knights of the other side. He would not be stupid to think that the knights of Highgarden would let them burn their food so recklessly. .

He had wondered this morning when they buried the cask among the bushes, but now his mind was clear.

The cavalry rushed to a river bank where there was a wooden bridge. Jeffrey ordered people to cross the bridge and threw a fire on the bridge. In an instant, a ball of flames burst out, blocking the cavalry on the other side of the river.

The Highgarden knights could only stand on the river bank and watch as people plunged into the forest. They were so aggrieved that they lost without even fighting.
