Chapter 204 Rose's Choice, the Battle of the Branded City

Chapter 204 Rose's Choice, the Battle of the Branded City

According to the instructions of the wolf king Ed, the black fish Brynden and the young wolf lord Robb sent the Frey family's army to sneak attack from the small road of the Golden Tooth City. As a result, Duke Tywin was prepared.

The Duke of Tywin sent Adam Marbrand, the mighty general of the Western Territory, to ambush with crossbowmen on the trail. The Frey family was defeated, and nearly 1000 people were lost in the [-] Frey army.

The body of Walder River, the commander of the Frey family, was shot into a hedgehog by stray arrows. He was the illegitimate son of Lord Walder.

Raymond Frey, one of Walder's many sons, was slain by a Lannister crossbowman in battle.

Because the Frey family has always been perfunctory and obedient to the wolf king's orders, before leaving the riverland, the wolf king Ed specifically told the black fish Brynden and the young wolf lord Robb to send the Frey family to lead the battle if there was any dangerous mission.

Anyway, the Frey family is flourishing, and there are many descendants of Marquis Walder, and Ed has Frey in his hands.

The Frey family suffered heavy casualties in the sneak attack on the small road, and the Frey family is bound to hate Lannister. In this way, the possibility of Marquis Walder colluding with Lannister to stab Stark and Tully in the back is greatly reduced.

In the camp of the wolf king's army, Walder Rivers and Raymond Frey were covered with white cloths, and the Silent Sisters handled the bodies, while some wounded Frey soldiers, Commander, were handed over to the nurses for treatment.

Blackfish Brynden looked at the group of descendants of Lord Walder in front of him, "Ward River, Raymond Frey and the soldiers of the Frey family all died fighting for the Wolf King and the Duke of Hoster, Stark And the Tully family, we will never forget the bloody battles of the Frey family."

Robb asked, "Who will command the Freys after Walder Rivers dies?"

"Me!" Aenys Frey stepped forward, the third son of Lord Walder, he was gray-haired, tall and strong, a well-trained warrior, with hungry eyes Flashing with anger.

Aenys Frey said angrily: "This blood debt of Lannister must be paid."

The great-grandson of Marquis Walder, the hot-tempered Black Wald said sullenly: "Lannister shot and killed the Frey family. The Frey family is eager for revenge. Please let the Frey family and the wolf king's army attack the Golden Tooth City. Kill those Lannisters and avenge my kin."

Black Walder is the second son of Lyman Frey, the eldest grandson of the Marquess of Walder. He has a bad reputation in the Frey family. He had an affair with Annana Falling, the seventh wife of his great-grandfather, Lord Walder.

It's hard to imagine someone like Heyward grieving over the death of a relative.

The young wolf lord Robb said: "Hey Wald, I can fully understand your feelings, but our army's frontal attack on Golden Tooth City also failed. Earl Mitch Seven brought the soldiers of the Seven family and used the ballista , trebuchets and other siege equipment, but it is a pity that they could not threaten the Golden Tooth City at all, and our army's siege equipment was hit by the huge stones thrown by the heavy trebuchets on the Golden Tooth City, causing heavy losses."

Blackfish Brynden sighed, "Golden Tooth City is not so easy to take. Golden Tooth City is equivalent to Carlin Bay in the north, the Blood Gate in the valley. It has been difficult to break through since ancient times. Fortunately, the Wolf King is leading the Giant Eagle Legion and The magic dragon is rushing from the north to the west, if the Wolf King's Giant Eagle Legion and the magic dragon are here, the possibility of us capturing this fortress will be greatly enhanced."

Young Wolf Lord Robb echoed: "At the same time, Bronze Jon, Ser Barristan, and Ser Baron Swann have won consecutive victories in the northern part of the Western Territory. Scourge, Castle Nun, and Crag City have all fallen to our army. hand."

"Once the Northern Route Army captures the branded city of the Marbrand family, our army can directly threaten the rear of the Golden Tooth City. At that time, if Duke Tywin and the Kingslayer still stay in the Golden Tooth City, they will face the enemy."

The wolf king Ed rode on the back of the giant eagle, and together with the giant eagle prince Michu and the giant eagle princess Bertha, he brought dozens of giant eagles and the magic dragon Flying Wolf to the castle of the Westerling Sea. Home Castle Cliff City.

The flag of the direwolf was fluttering on the cliff city, and the soldiers at the top of the city cheered bursts of cheers as soon as they saw the giant eagle legion flying in the air, the magic dragon flying wolf and Ed on the back of the giant eagle.

In charge of defending the castle were Magnasty of Thenn and Tormund the Giantsbane.

The Thenns are the most disciplined ethnic group among the wildlings beyond the Great Wall. They are good at making bronze weapons and bronze scale armor.After the Thenns and the wildlings outside the Great Wall surrendered to Ed, Ed organized all the Thenns into the Winter Wolf Army. Today, the Thenns all use plate armor, chain mail and steel weapons.

The giant buster Tormund said excitedly: "Father of life, you have finally arrived in the west. How is our home in the north? Have the ironmen who attacked the north been repelled?"

Ed said: "My son, Jon Snow, used wildfire in the Heat Wave River to burn the Iron Islands fleet, and I used the dragon and the giant eagle to pinch the Iron Islands fleet. The Iron Islands fleet suffered a complete defeat. , 'Cleft Palate' Dagmer, the leader of Shawen Botley and others were captured, and the remnants of the iron people have fled back to the Iron Islands in embarrassment."

Tormund the Giantsbane let out a rough laugh, "Ha! I knew Jon was a good boy who could help the Father of Life and defeat the Ironborn."

Ed said, "How's the battle going on in the west?"

Magnusty of Thenn said: "Father of life, our army is triumphant, Ser Barristan leads the army to capture the scourge of the Banfort family, and Ser Balon Swann leads the army to capture the cliff. Rock City. Now, Ser Barristan and Ser Balon Swann have marched to Brand, where they will join the host of Bronze Yonn."

Giant Buster Tormund said: "Now, the hills and mountains in the northern part of the Western Territory are all firmly controlled by the Mountain Legion. We have occupied every mountain village, every mine, and every cave. According to the instructions of the father of life, we The women and children in the western region were all kidnapped, crossed mountains and ridges, and sent to the land of the river.”

Ed smiled, "Nice job."

Si Di said: "Master Ed, I saw that the gold and silver mines in Fort Nun and the Pendry Hills have accumulated a large amount of gold and silver. These real gold and silver must be transported to the river land in time."

Ed shook his head, "There's no need for that. I'm marching into the West this time to eat up all of Lannister's territory. I won't withdraw my troops. The gold and silver you see are just a small part of what was dug out. The mountains in the West The ore veins in the mountains are full of expensive metals like gold and silver, as long as we occupy the western region, the gold and silver in this mountain will be ours in the future."

The giant buster Tormund beat his strong chest with his fist, "We wildlings followed the father of life and fought so many victories. Now we still have mountains of gold and silver. From now on, life will get better and better."

Ed said indifferently: "Gold and silver are certainly precious, but in my heart, the most precious thing is always your talents and the land. The land is the living space for the people of the wolf king and the army of the wolf king. Gold and silver can be bought for all kinds of things. The resources, however, are potatoes, turnips, apples, honey, corn, and wheat from the land, each of which is necessary."

Tormund, the giant's nemesis, said: "The savage used to be shivering in the ice and snow outside the Great Wall. Facing the threat of the ghosts and ghouls, the savage was helpless. It was the father of life who brought the savage to the fertile black land in the north. Now, The father of life even brought the savages to the warm and affluent western region. Following the father of life, the life of our savages is getting better and better."

Ed put his hand on the shoulder of the giant's nemesis Tormund, "My conquest is inseparable from your contribution. Cliff City is the castle of the Westerling family. When you captured Cliff City, did you capture any prisoners? ?”

Tormund the Giant Buster nodded, "Yes, Lord Gavin Westerling, his wife Sybell Spicer, and his wife's disciple, Rover Spicer, and Westerling The count's two sons and two daughters are our prisoners."

In the dungeon of Crag City, Ed met Jenny Westerling, a beautiful girl who was very attractive to young people.Ed is glad that Robb didn't show up in Cliff City, otherwise, Robb captured the castle, and he might have become Jane's love prisoner instead.

In the future, Ed plans to marry a well-matched wife for Robb. Asha of the Iron Islands, Margaery of Highgarden, Myrcella of the Lannister family, and Princess Arianne, the heir of Dorne, can all be considered. Sterling is a kind person, but her mother, Mrs. Sybell, and uncle Rover Spicer are all careerists, and it is impossible for Stark to marry Westerling.

When Jane saw Ed, she immediately knelt down, "His Royal Highness, I beg you to let my family go. I am willing to be your servant for the rest of my life to repay your kindness."

Ed said: "When I defeat Lannister, your family has a chance to be free. Now, you can only stay in the dungeon."

Afterwards, Ed came to an empty cell, and Giant Buster Tormund brought Mrs. Sybell and her brother Roff Spicer to Ed.

The Spicer family came from merchants. Mrs. Sybell's grandmother was the famous Toad Witch. She was a witch from the other side of the narrow sea. She used to sell aphrodisiacs, medicines and divination in Lannisport for a living. The girl Cersei is Toad Witch's client, and it is Toad Witch's prophecy about the shroud, brother strangulation and beautiful women taking everything that has made Cersei suffer for so many years.

Lady Sybell was demure, and Rover Spicer was frivolous and flamboyant, both with flattering smiles on their faces.

Rover Spicer said: "During Robert's Rebellion, His Highness the Wolf was King Robert's right-hand man, helping King Robert win the Battle of the Trident River and breaking the siege of Storm's End, and then His Highness the Wolf helped Robert King, put down Balon Greyjoy's Iron Islands rebellion."

"In recent years, His Royal Highness the Wolf has swept across the rocks of Skagos Island and the savages beyond the Great Wall. After the Clash of Kings, His Highness the Wolf led an army to the south, and the valleys and riverlands surrendered to the north one after another. His Highness the Wolf is simply Wes. The No.1 general of Troy, the existence of God of War level. I believe that Duke Tywin must not be your opponent."

Ed said: "Duke Tywin is your lord, do you think so badly of Duke Tywin?"

Mrs. Sybell said: "As we all know, Duke Tywin's grandson, King Joffrey, is a bastard born of an affair between the Kingslayer and Cersei. Cliff Rock City is a vassal of Lannister, so it has to respond to Lannister's request." Call, send troops to support Lannister's cause, but, in the eyes of our Westerling family, His Royal Highness the Wolf is the real king."

Rover Spicer showed an exaggerated smile, "As long as Your Highness Wolf is willing to release the members of the Westerling family from the dungeon, I assure His Highness Wolf that my brother-in-law, Earl Gavin Westerling, will definitely bring them with him." House Westerling, abandon Lannister for the Starks."

Ed said coldly: "You stay in the dungeon well, when you will be free, it depends on your own performance."

Afterwards, the soldiers escorted Mrs. Sybell and Rover Spicer away, and Ed told Giant Buster Tormund, "Mrs. Sybell and Rover Spicer are two despicable and shameless villains. Never set them free, let them rot in a dungeon."

Tormund the Giant Buster said: "Father of Life, since you don't like them, why don't you just kill them?"

Ed said: "These two people are begging for mercy and want to surrender. Killing them without a legitimate reason will only make people who want to surrender to Stark in the future hesitate. Tormund, the less people we kill, the more people we kill in the future. Maybe more people will join us."

Tormund the Giant Buster said: "Father of Life, where are you going to attack? Our army has completely controlled the gold mines of Castamere and Pendry Hills. Your Giant Eagle Legion and Demon Dragon can go directly south and threaten Lan Ness Harbor and Casterly Rock."

Ed said: "Casterly Rock City and Lannisport are heavily guarded, and Casterly Rock City is a cave fortress, which has never been breached in history. Obviously, Tywin has prepared a good bow and crossbow in Casterly Rock City and Lannisport. Meet the Eagle Legion and the Dragon, I will not take my Dragon and Eagle to take risks."

"Helen the Iron Bitch's fleet on the west coast of the north has already begun to plunder the coastal areas of the west. I believe that the flames of war will soon reach the Lannisport area. My current goal is to go to Brand City and fight with Bronze Yon, Ba Ser Listan and Ser Balon Swann have joined together to attack Marbram's castle, Brand, and march south to threaten the Golden Tooth."

In Harrenhal, Catelyn led a group of silkworm farmers to raise silkworms. On the school grounds, Earl Rickard Karstark was leading soldiers to practice.

The giant Sissy is bathing in the sun, feeding the dragon Hawkeye and the dragon koi, while Duke Robin and Lysa are playing.

Duke Robin drank the giant's milk every day, his body became stronger and his seizures were significantly less.

Arya and Sansa are together at the animal pen, feeding the griffins, and the seven little griffins eat a lot of chicken and ribs every day.

The giant Sissi also feeds the griffins. The griffins grew up with the magic dragon Hawkeye and the koi. Under the influence of the magic dragon, the griffins also began to eat cooked food. Every time they ate chicken or wild boar ribs, the magic Both Dragon Eagle Eye and Koi will emit dragon flames, roast chicken and ribs, and then eat with the magic dragon.

The direwolf lady, Nymeria, accompanies Sansa and Arya every day, taking care of the dragon and the griffin.

In Harrenhal, the dragon, the griffin and the direwolf became the pride of the defenders of Harrenhal and the key to unite the hearts of the people.

Due to the wolf king's army counterattacking the western border, the war in the riverlands has never spread to the Harrenhal area. On the side of the king's land, King Stannis controls most of the king's land north of King's Landing, and Stannis' army blocks it. Lannister in King's Landing, Harrenhal is very safe. Harrenhal, like other riverland castles around, is peaceful.

Manors around Harrenhal sprung up like mushrooms after rain. The Cross City of Wolf Castle on the north bank of Ruby Beach on the Trident River and the Noble City of Wolf Castle in Noble Heart were under construction in an orderly manner.

Arya hugged a strong griffin, which had grown to the size of a hound, with a body as strong as a lion and wings like an eagle.

"Sansa, I will be a wolf knight, a dragon knight, and a griffin knight in the future. When this griffin grows up, I can soar in the air like my father riding a giant eagle."

Sansa smiled softly: "Arya, you may become a wolf knight or a griffin knight, but you don't need to think about a dragon knight. In the history of Westeros, dragon knights are all members of the Targaryen family. You must have the blood of the Dragon King to ride it!"

Arya said disdainfully: "In ancient times, there were a lot of dragons, and it wasn't only during the Targaryen dynasty that there were dragons. I believe that there must have been many dragon knights without the blood of the dragon king in ancient times. It was said in previous history books that only the Targaryen dynasty had dragons. Only members of the Grian family can incubate giant dragons, wouldn't my father be able to incubate successfully?"

Sansa thought for a while, "What you said seems to make sense, so I might become a dragon knight? I already have my own direwolf lady, so why not ask my father for a dragon? "

"If I become a dragon knight, the singers will love me to death and write all kinds of beautiful songs for me."

Arya snorted softly, "Who cares about your foolish ballads! If I become a dragon knight, I will follow my father to fight everywhere, and then I will kill all the villains like Gregor the Mountain, Joffrey, and Queen Cersei. Kill them all."

In Cyan Ox Village, north of Branded City, Ser Baron Swann, Ser Barristan, and the main force of Bronze Yorn joined forces in victory.

Sir Balon Swann set off from the Crag City and plundered Castamere, the gold mines, farms and villages of the Pendry Hills all the way. When Balon Swann's light cavalry arrived in Castamere, they happened It was raining lightly, and the soldiers of the Wolf King joked that it was "The Rainy Season of Castamere".

Sir Barristan, the commander of the other army, traveled southward day and night from the castle of the Bamfort family on the northwest coast of the Western Territory, and finally caught up with Balon Swann, Bronze Jon's team in the town of Green Ox.

Eagle King McCain stood on a sandstone hill, manipulating owls and falcons in the air, but he never saw the eagle return.

Owls and falcons hovered in the air and landed on the broad shoulders of Eagle King McCain. This old man with silver hair and beard was frowning.

"What's going on? I lost contact with my eagle. I can't perceive the existence of the eagle. It's a strange thing."

Ser Barristan was alarmed. "Has this ever happened before?"

Eagle King McCain shook his head, "Never before. My eagles, falcons and owls have been with me for three years. I can always easily control them to detect and attack."

Bronze Jon said: "Could your eagle go hunting alone? There are many hares in the barren mountains of the West."

Eagle King McCain shook his head, "Impossible, if an eagle catches a rabbit, I can perceive him, just as easily as you can feel the bronze armor by touching the bronze armor."

Sir Barristan said nervously, "It must be the Golden Girl. I heard that the Lannister Witch, the Golden Girl, can control animals."

Bronze Jorn said disdainfully: "How can a witch compare to an experienced skin-changer like Eagle King McCain? Besides, we also have Gisela the goat girl, Thorn the lynx woman, Tigus the saber-toothed tiger warrior, and many other skin-changers." By."

Eagle King McCain said: "If it is outside the Great Wall, in the northern region where there are many weirwoods, or in the noble heart of the riverlands, near the God's Eye Lake, I am sure to defeat the Golden Girl, because that is the land that the old gods look after. , but here in the western region, I'm not fully sure."

"There are too few weirwoods here, and too much gold and silver. The land is ravaged, and I fear the Old Gods don't have enough power here."

Ser Barristan, Bronze Yon, and Ser Balon Swann exchanged suspicious glances.

A group of sparrows flew by, the saber-toothed tiger roared at the sparrows, and the lynx, Thorn's shadow lynx, also became restless.

Bronze Jon frowned, "What's going on?"

Eagle King McCain manipulated the falcon and easily killed two sparrows, but there were more sparrows, turned around and flew away, disappearing into the mountains.

Eagle King McCain said: "Those sparrows are the golden lady's pets, and they are scouting for the Lannister. Alas! It's a pity that my eagle is lost. If my eagle is here, there will be none of the sparrows." escape."

Baron Swan said slowly: "Eagle King McCain is the most experienced skin-changer, and even his eagle is lost. Lannister's witch, the Golden Lady, uses sparrows to investigate, and our army's movements have been exposed. A skinchanger may not be the opponent of the Golden Girls. It is better to suspend the attack on the branded city."

Bronze Jorn shook his head and said: "No, the task given to us by the Wolf King is to capture the Branded City. Only by taking down the Branded City can our army threaten the rear of the Golden Tooth City. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of troops outside the Golden Tooth City can only Facing that western fortress, we are helpless."

"The wolf king is heading south with the Giant Eagle Legion and the Demon Dragon, and the iron bitch's northern west coast fleet is also approaching the coastal areas of the western border. The situation of the wolf king's army is very good. Our location is less than [-] meters away from Brand City. It's been two days, how can you stop attacking a military important place like Brand City just because of a golden girl?"

The Reach, Highgarden, Ser Alys Oakheart came to the Great Hall in a dirty white robe.

Lord Mace Tyrell and Lady Olenna, Queen of Briars, looked at Ser Alys Oakheart in amazement.

Lady Olenna said, "Ser Alys, you are the Kingsguard. You are supposed to be in King's Landing, guarding King Joffrey on the Iron Throne. Why did you come to Highgarden?"

Duke Mace Tyrell looked at Sir Alys, "You look very embarrassed and tired."

Sir Aris said excitedly: "Duke Mace, Lady Olenna, I am no longer the Kingsguard, because the Iron Throne in King's Landing has become the Skeleton Throne, and the Queen Regent, Cersei, has become the Queen of Corpse, the Necromancer Take control of King's Landing. Are the people of Highgarden and the Reach still in the dark?"

Duke Mace Tyrell and his mother, Lady Olenna, looked at each other. Duke Mace Tyrell frowned and said, "We have heard some similar terrible rumors, and we thought they were fabricated by Stannis."

Aris Oakheart said: "I swear on the honor of the Oakheart family and the Kingsguard that the rumors of the undead in King's Landing are true. As a knight of the Kingsguard, I have witnessed the death storm with my own eyes. Rhaegar The prince is reborn to stand guard for Cersei."

Mace Tyrell wiped the sweat from his forehead with a silk handkerchief, "Prince Rhaegar crawled out of the tomb? Deathstorm, who is it?"

Alys Oakheart said: "Deathstorm is the old King Robert. He wears plate and antlers all day long, and the mask covers his face, but everyone is sure that it is the old King Robert."

Lady Olenna raised her eyebrows, "Lannister of King's Landing has fallen into the company of the undead, and Duke Tywin still wants his grandson Joffrey to marry my Margaery."

Aris Oakheart said: "Lady Olenna, Duke Tywin is in the west, fighting the army of the wolf king. Stannis has surrounded King's Landing for too long, and the west is far away from King's Landing. Duke Tywin may not Know what happened in King's Landing."

"Before I left King's Landing, Cersei had his necromancer, Ogbeta, destroy the Godswood and the Royal Sanctuary. After I escaped from King's Landing, on the way, I heard that Cersei threatened the Archbishop and publicly desecrated in the Great Sept of Baelor. Seven gods, accuse the seven gods of being false gods, and preach that the evil cold god is the only true god."

Lady Olenna was taken aback, "Blazing the Seven Gods offended all the knights and faithful men and women in Westeros. How could Cersei do such a stupid thing?"

Mace Tyrell said: "Mother, shall we marry Margaery to Lannister?"

Madam Olenna glared at Mace Tyrell, "Have you lost your mind? Cersei has publicly blasphemed the old and new gods. If Tyrell marries Lannister at this time, it will be considered a Heretics. We respect chivalry the most in the Reach, and we must draw a line with King's Landing and Lannister immediately."

Mace Tyrell said: "And thus we have abandoned the alliance of Lannister and Tyrell."

Mrs. Olenna said gloomyly: "The Lannister has reached an alliance with the undead, the cold god, and there is no need for the Rose of Highgarden."

Mace Tyrell's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "But, breaking with Lannister, the Reach may be attacked by Lannister in the West and Stannis in the Stormland. Don't forget that there are Dorneans in the south who are about to move .”

Mrs. Olenna said disdainfully: "The Lannister asked for help from the Reach. The wolf king's army came to the western fortress Golden Tooth City. There are many gold mines in the northern mountainous area of ​​the western border. The castle is occupied by the wolf king's army. Lannister in the western border cannot protect himself. Threatening the Reach with what?"

"To form an alliance with Lannister is to be an enemy of the Wolf King. Cersei is with the undead, turning King's Landing into a city of the undead. Cersei has done things that blaspheme the old and new gods. To continue to be an alliance with Lannister is to be with Vikings. Stroll, believers of old and new gods, and even living beings have become enemies."

"The biggest threat to the Reach is Stannis. Fortunately, we have Randall Tarly guarding the Bitterbridge, and Stannis has to deal with the undead Lannister in King's Landing. The Reach is safe for the time being."

Mace Tyrell said: "Renly fled to Riverrun, and the wolf king will use Renly to deal with the Reach. If Eddard the wolf king is allowed to annex Lannister in the western region, the next prey of the wolf king will be Probably the Reach."

Mrs. Olenna said: "No matter how much gold there is in the western region, it can't reach the northern region. The coalition formed by the riverlands and the valleys. The wolf king Ed hatched two young dragons and seven griffins in Harrenhal. Seven Griffin! That is the gospel of the Seven Gods, therefore, we must abandon Lannister and take the initiative to show favor to the Wolf King."

"Back then, the ancestors of the Tyrell family voluntarily bowed their knees to Aegon the Conqueror precisely because they judged the situation correctly. That's why Aegon the Conqueror promoted him to be Governor of the Reach and Duke of Highgarden. Today's Wolf King Ed , as powerful as Aegon the Conqueror, and he also has dragons, and even a legion of eagles, giants, and skinchangers."

"Edd the Wolf King will be the victor in the Clash of Kings. Although he never wears the crown, he is stronger and has won the hearts of the people. If the undead in King's Landing become a threat to all mankind, the Wolf King is a God-sent savior. Tyrell The family must follow the savior and the victor!"

Bronze Jon, Ser Barristan, and Baron Swann led the army of the Wolf King, approaching the castle of the Marbrand House, Branded City.

Sir Kevan led the army from the Western Territory and set up camp on the high ground northwest of the Branded City, forming a corner with the defenders of the Branded City.

Eagle King McCain sent owls and falcons to scout, circling the Lannister camp.

The golden lady rode on the back of the lion, and she showed a wicked smile towards the owl and falcon in the air, and the blood shot out of her eyes, hitting the owl and the falcon.

The Eagle King McCain, who was a few miles away, convulsed and almost fell to the ground. The bronze Jon, Barristan, quickly supported the Eagle King McCain.

Bronze Jon said, "What did you see?"

Eagle King McCain coughed violently, "I saw it, it was the witch riding the lion! She charmed my birds, occupied my owls and falcons. Before my eagle disappeared, it must have been charmed by the golden lady .”

Ser Barristan frowned. "Can you get your owl and falcon back?"

Eagle King McCain said helplessly: "It's hard, here, the strength of the golden girl is obviously stronger than mine."

Bronze Jon said, "Eagle King McCain, did you observe the enemy's camp before the Golden Lady took your birds?"

Eagle King McCain nodded, "I saw it, the killing hole at the top of the city of Branding, the walls are full of crossbowmen, and the defenders have prepared boiling oil; Feiyang, the camp is located on a high hill, easy to defend but difficult to attack, full of traps, thorns, and antlers."

Bronze Jon sighed, "Ser Kevan's cunning is no less than that of his elder brother, Lord Tywin. The enemy's camp and Branded City have become horns. This is the battlefield chosen by Sir Kevan. With the Golden Girl sitting beside me, it will be very difficult for our army to capture Branded City."

Ser Barristan frowned. "According to you, do we withdraw?"

Bronze Jorn clenched his fists, "No, once our army retreats, Kevan will be able to take back Castamere, Pendry Hills, and even the crag city of Westerling Castle occupied by our army. The northern mountains of the western border occupied by the army are also at risk of being retaken by the western border."

"Only when our army captures Branded City, can we threaten the Golden Tooth City, the western fortress heavily guarded by Duke Tywin, and completely defeat Lannister's western defense line. Otherwise, Lannister, who is fighting locally, may rely on the cliff fortress to counterattack. , and drive the wolf king's army out of the western border."

The shadow lynx under Thorn's crotch let out roars, and Thorn said, "We skinchangers can charge together with the wolf king's cavalry."

Ser Barristan said, "Thorns, skinchangers had better not fight. Eagle King McCain's hawks, owls, and falcons are all charmed by the Golden Lady. Once the Golden Lady takes possession of your skinchangers, these The ferocious beast may attack the wolf king's army."

Lynx Thorn glanced at Eagle King McCain, "Grandfather Sir, you don't understand skinchangers at all. The skinchangers who control birds are completely different from our skinchangers who control beasts. We beast skinchangers, Down-to-earth, unlike the bird skinchanger, who floats in the clouds every day, the golden lady wants to occupy my shadow lynx, let her come here!"

The saber-toothed tiger warrior Tiggs said: "If the golden girl dares to occupy my saber-toothed tiger, I will let my saber-toothed tiger tear open the neck of the golden girl and see whether the bitch's blood is gold or black blood."

The goat horns of the goat girl Gisela are like razors. Gisela said: "We followed the father of life and fought bloody battles every time. Now when we encounter such a strong enemy as the golden girl, we retreat. What is the reason?"

The lynx woman Thorn said: "Don't forget, the golden girl has a lion to ride. Could it be that the knight's flesh and blood can fight against a beast like a lion?"

Inspired by the father of life, Ed, the skinchangers who joined the Winter Wolf Army have improved their discipline, but the stubbornness in the bones of the wildlings still exists.

Bronze Jon, Ser Barristan, and Ser Baron Swann all understood that the skinchangers had played an important role in the battle in the West, and now it was unreasonable to exclude them from the battle. In the end, the three commanders After discussing with the officers, the commander-in-chief, Bronze Jorn, agreed to the skinchanger's participation in the battle against the stronghold of the Marbrand House, Brand City.

It took a whole afternoon to prepare for the attack. After night fell, the wolf king's army sounded the horn to attack.

Ser Balon Swann and Ser Barristan, each leading three thousand heavy cavalry, split north and south, and attacked Ser Kevan's camp of the Westland Army on the high hill northwest of Brand City.

Bronze Jon led a thousand cavalry, two thousand infantry and siege equipment to attack the stronghold of the Marbrand family, Branded City.

Kaifeng was on the high hill in the northwest, and when he saw the enemy charging, he immediately mobilized the crossbowmen to shoot arrows. The good bows and powerful crossbows in the western region threw a deadly rain of arrows towards the night sky. The wolf king cavalry who were hit by the arrows screamed and fell down land.

The thorns and traps set up by the army in the western region in advance caused the wolf king's army to pay a heavy price for every step forward. Many heavy cavalry fell into the pits, and some horses were injured by thorns. The antlers also made it difficult for the wolf king's soldiers to advance.

Fortunately, the goat of Gisela the goat girl walked on the antlers like walking on flat ground. The goat of Gisela the goat girl jumped on the antlers and walked on the antlers like a ghost. The soldiers in the western region were terrified.

Before the western soldiers could react, the goat of Gisela, the goat girl, had jumped over the soldiers of the western border, and stepped on a Lannister soldier with a roaring lion engraved on the breastplate. The sword was unsheathed and killed a Marbrand soldier with a burning tree on his breastplate.

On the other side, the saber-toothed tiger warrior Tiggs, brandishing a long spear, rode a saber-toothed tiger over the pit, antlers and thistles, and killed a group of crossbowmen from the Western Territory holding yew longbows and crossbows. The crossbowmen screamed and hurried step back.

The fangs of the saber-toothed tiger were like sharp blades, and it bit a hedge knight of the Swyfer family with a bantam rooster on its breastplate. The knight's breastplate was like silk, pierced by the saber-toothed tiger, and blood flowed in.

Lynx Thorn followed Sir Barristan's horse and entered the camp of the Westland Army. The Shadow Lynx knocked a Lannister Lannister to the ground like a cat tearing a mouse, and easily tore the arm of the Westland Lancer. , the broken arm pile is bloody and bloody.

The neighing of war horses, dying cries, and the shouts of charging echoed over the wilderness outside the branded city.

Thorn, the lynx woman, was on a killing spree, when suddenly she felt that the shadow lynx under her crotch began to be disobedient, and something was trying to squeeze thorn out of the shadow lynx's body.

Thorn held her breath and controlled the shadow lynx. Not far away, she saw a golden girl in a long golden silk dress, riding on the back of a lion, with ruby-like rays of light in her eyes.

"It turned out to be you, trying to charm my shadow lynx." Thorn the lynx woman glared at the golden girl, "I'll kill you today! See how you still charm my fierce beast!"

The shadow lynx let out a roar, and rushed towards the golden girl and the lion. A gleam of blood flashed in the blood red eyes of the golden girl, and then, the lion and the shadow lynx roared in unison, and the two beasts fought together.

The golden girl and the thorn were thrown out almost at the same time. The thorn rolled in the air and landed steadily like a top. The golden girl fell directly to the ground. The thorn's long sword disappeared. Open, the dagger tore a big hole in the golden girl's long skirt.

At this time, the golden girl suddenly had a sachet in her hand, and the sachet spilled out a stream of gold powder. Thorn instantly felt a sharp pain in his eyes. After a severe dizziness, he flew out heavily and fell to the ground.

The thorns stared at the stars, as if a dragon war had taken place in her head, and when she regained consciousness again, the golden girl was already riding on the back of the shadow lynx. The shadow lynx's eyes were blood red, and it showed its sharp teeth towards the thorns.

"This is impossible, this is my shadow lynx." Thorn murmured.

The shadow lynx licked the face of the thorns with a tongue as rough as a whetstone, and the golden girl proudly said: "The tricks of the skinchangers are nothing more than that. I can easily control your beasts. If I want, I can even Let the shadow lynx bite you bite by bite and swallow you in its stomach."

A white light flashed across the golden girl's blood-red eyes, and the shadow lynx slapped Thorn's head with its palm, and Thorn passed out.

The goat girl Gisela and the saber-toothed tiger warrior Tiggs drove the beasts and rushed to the golden girl, trying to save the thorn.

At this time, the golden girl threw a handful of gold powder into the air, and she activated the spell, and the gold powder turned into a sandstorm, and the wind howled.

The eyes of Tigus and Gisela were both attacked by the sandstorm, and they couldn't see anything. The saber-toothed tiger and the goat lost control instantly, throwing their master to the ground.

The lion rushed up and stunned Tigus and Gisela with its claws. Immediately afterwards, the shadow lynx, goat, and saber-toothed tiger were all occupied by the golden lady. Together with the lion, these beasts began to attack the soldiers of the wolf king.

The Golden Sand Storm did not attack the soldiers of the Western Region, but made many soldiers of the Wolf King unable to open their eyes to meet the enemy. In addition, all the shape-changers were captured by the golden girl. The beasts that originally belonged to the army of the Wolf King began to attack the soldiers of the Wolf King .

Bronze Jorn came from the rear with a large army, but was attacked by his own defeated soldiers, and the men and horses trampled on each other.

Sir Kevan ordered his knights to blow the horn of the lion in the west, and the knights in the camp and the branded city who had been ready for a long time fought out at the same time, and the wolf king's army began to be defeated.

Sir Balon Swann protected the soldiers and withdrew first. He swung the meteor hammer and smashed to death three Lannister cavalrymen, and then hacked to death a Lannister family spearman with his long sword. However, the enemy was like a tide They rushed forward, and in the end, Balon Sven was caught by the grappling hook, dragged off his horse, and was captured exhausted.

On the other side of the battlefield, Ser Barristan led the Eagle King McCain, fighting a bloody path, and the winter wolves' robes were stained with blood.The western army wanted to pursue, but Bronze Jorn had ambushed the crossbowmen on both sides in advance. The wolf king's crossbowmen released a fatal rain of arrows and shot them. Many cavalrymen fell off their horses screaming and died.

Bronze Jon gathered the defeated troops and retreated to the northern hills.

In the Battle of Branded City, the Western Territory was victorious. Sir Baron Swann, Gisela the Goat Girl, Thorn the Lynx, and the Saber-toothed Tiger Warrior Targus were all captured, and the captives were escorted to Ser Kevan.

Sir Kevan looked at these captives, and then at the saber-toothed tiger, goat, and shadow lynx beside the golden girl, as well as the hawk, owl and falcon that the golden girl had bewitched before, and he was very excited.

"Golden Girl, Wolf King Ed's skinchanger army has never lost a single defeat in the Riverlands and Western Regions since following Wolf King Ed to the south. Today, they were actually defeated by you."

The golden girl showed a charming smile, her skirt fluttering, "This is just an appetizer. These shapechangers will die as many as they come."

Damon Marbrand, Earl of Branded City, said: "Unfortunately, that Eagle King McCain has escaped."

The golden lady said disdainfully: "Eagle King McCain, his hawks, owls and falcons have all been taken by me. Eagle King McCain has become a polished commander, and the old man can no longer pose any threat."

Sir Balon Swan spat blood and said disdainfully: "Golden girl, you don't have to be too arrogant, the wolf king Ed has already arrived in the west, the giant eagle legion and the magic dragon have arrived in the west, your tricks are not wolf king Ed at all." opponent."

The golden girl said indifferently: "If the wolf king Ed dares to come, no matter whether he is a dragon or a giant eagle, I will still occupy him!"

Outside the city of King's Landing, Stannis, the red-robed woman Melisandre, and the onion knight Davos, riding on war horses, looked across the misty King's Landing across the Blackwater River.

The white mist on the Heishui River, like ghost fingers, caresses the river surface.

The red-robed woman Melisandre sniffed the air, "Death, death, skeletons, the smell of undead is everywhere."

Stannis was plainly dressed, wearing smoke-gray plate armor, and the red gold crown on his head was made into the shape of a flame. Stannis said coldly: "Melisandre, the red-robed woman, tell me that you saw it in the holy fire." What?"

The red-robed woman Melisandre said: "Your Majesty, King's Landing has become a city of the dead. The servants of the Cold God are raging in King's Landing. The Iron Throne has become the Skeleton Throne. The undead have enveloped King's Landing. Even the Red God R'hllor cannot show it." The situation inside King's Landing."

Stannis snorted softly, and he pulled out the magic sword. The magic sword emitted red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, all kinds of gorgeous lights, but couldn't pierce the fog.

"Melisandre, you always say that I am a voter of R'hllor, and Azor Ahai is reborn, but why can't the red god R'hllor even show the illusion in the flames? Could it be that this battle, Did I lose a game before I hit it?"

A month ago, Stannis was still at the Bitterbridge in the Reach, confronting Lando Tarly, the famous general of the Reach. Stannis sent troops to attack Bitterbridge three times, but was defeated by Lando Tarly. Afterwards, Stannis Nice's attempts to break through the Mande River defenses both upstream and downstream were thwarted by the combined forces of Landau Tully and Matus Rowan.

The monks and common people who escaped from the city of King's Landing brought news that Cersei destroyed the statue of the Seven Gods in the Great Sept of Baelor and burned the Godswood Forest in the Red Keep. Save King's Landing.

Only then did Stannis lead his troops to the Stormlands, stationed troops on the south bank of the Blackwater River, waiting for an opportunity to attack King's Landing.

Now, Stannis looked at the city of King's Landing, and said depressedly: "The Seven Gods and the Old Gods haven't given me anything, and these good men and women don't love me, and the city of King's Landing has never cheered for me. However, as a result, when Cersei, Queen of the Dead, destroyed their Seven Gods and the Old Gods, good men and women and hypocritical monks came to me for help, crying and howling."

Onion Knight Davos said: "Your Majesty is just. I believe that those monks who brought the news to the Riverlands, the Valley, Dorne and the Reach, and the Western Territory will surely let the faithful men and women of Westeros see Lan The cruelty and depravity of Nist."

At the suggestion of Davos, Stannis sent many monks and brothers from the beggar gang to spread Cersei's blasphemy of the old and new gods to all parts of Westeros. House Tyrell, it is impossible to ally with Lannister again.

Stannis said: "Holy fire can't see the vision in King's Landing, so we can't know what's going on in King's Landing, and we don't have a shapechanger like Eddard the Wolf King. What should we do?"

Onion Knight Davos said: "Your Majesty, the fog is thick. I can row a boat and go to King's Landing Wharf to find out. As a smuggler, I am familiar with all this. King's Landing is the port and city I am most familiar with."

Stannis said: "Onion Knight, you are brave, but it's too stupid to do this. Do you think the necromancer will let you listen to the news in King's Landing? There is no doubt that the necromancer also has the ability to predict. I heard Ser Xi has hanged quite a few smugglers, and I don't want my Onion Knight to be next."

Then, Stannis turned to Melisandre, "Tell me, what you saw in the sacred fire before, about King's Landing, about everything around the Blackwater River, I want to know everything."

The blood ruby ​​in Melisandre's throat drank light, and her eyes flickered, "Your Majesty, I saw the shadow of the frost dragon covering the sky above King's Landing, the dragon's lair on the hills of Rhaenys and the hills of Visenya. The Great Sept of Baelor, the Red Keep on Aegon's High Hill, all are left in the shadow of the frost wyrm's death."

"I saw the shadow of death gathered in the imperial forest south of the Blackwater River. Yes, it was an army of undead."
