Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 50 The North's Counterattack

The crossbowmen in the north couldn't hurt the thick skin of the rock species. The horses of the northern cavalry seemed to be afraid of the unicorn. The northern cavalry retreated steadily in front of the unicorn. With their backs condescending, they attacked with boulders and bows and arrows. Some cavalrymen were smashed to death by the stones of the slingers, and some warriors of the northern mountain clan were brutally shot and killed by the rock species crossbowmen.

The drummer on the back of the unicorn kept beating the drums, as if mocking the northerners.

Some northern nobles lost their minds, and Earl Mitch Seven said, "Master Ed, the unicorns of the rock species are too cruel. We should avoid the edge and withdraw our troops!"

"No!" Ed knew very well that once the order to withdraw the troops was issued, the northern army would become a rout, and the rock-type enemies would come out of caves, mountain streams, and woods to chase the northern army.

Galbert Glover said: "But, Lord Ed, if we don't retreat, we are powerless against the enemy's unicorns. Our cavalry are not afraid of the enemy, but our horses don't seem to like the smell and cry of unicorns." Sound, the horses are afraid of unicorns, how can we fight this battle?"

Earl Horwood echoed: "Yes! Lord Ed, you have also seen that the rain of arrows from the crossbowman can't hurt the unicorn at all, and the unicorn seems to be invulnerable."

Ed was riding on a tall horse, "give the order to let the crossbowman shoot at the rock species on the back of the unicorn, especially the drummer who beats the drum." Ed was agitated by the sound of the drummer beating.

The order was conveyed, and the crossbowmen in the north aimed at the enemy on the back of the unicorn and began to shoot arrows while the noble lords were giving orders.

The rock species slingers and crossbowmen who were sitting on the back of the unicorn were laughing and attacking wildly. When the rain of arrows fell in the north, the laughter quickly turned into screams. Many rock species were shot into hedgehogs by sharp arrows. Rockspawn fell from the unicorn's back.

Felan, the sharp archer of Winterfell, lost his mount in the scuffle. He stood behind a huge rock, drew his arrows with his bow, and shot every arrow without fail. Every arrow could shoot down an enemy.Theon Greyjoy on the side, his shooting skills are not far behind.

Dawson, Ed's guard, roared and cut down every enemy on the battlefield. Even a strong rock warrior could hardly resist Dawson's 30-pound tomahawk.

The Braavos water dancer Syrio Forel escaped the attack of a rock warrior like a ghost. The slender assassin sword in his hand sank into the neck of the rock warrior, and the enemy screamed to death.

A unicorn rushed towards Syrio Forel. Like a spirit snake, Syrio Forel slashed across the sharp horn of the unicorn, and hid under the unicorn's thick thigh like a rock pillar , pressed the rough skin of the unicorn with his hands, and climbed up the back of the unicorn extremely quickly.

The stone slingers and crossbowmen on the unicorn's back were completely unaware of Syrio's approach. Before they could react, they were stabbed to death by Syrio Forel with the assassin's sword.

Syrio Forel grabbed the unicorn's reins and forced the unicorn to turn around and rush towards the formation of rock species soldiers. Some rock species that had no time to dodge were trampled under the unicorn's feet and turned into fleshy pulp.In the end, the unicorn controlled by Syrio rushed towards another unicorn, and the rock species on the unicorn's back let out screams.

In the end, the two unicorns collided, and Syrio, in the confusion, tugged at the reins and landed lightly.The rock species on the other unicorn were not so lucky. They all fell, some were smashed by the unicorn, and the survivors were killed by the mountain clan warriors rushing up.

Because the rock species on the backs of unicorns were heavily attacked by crossbowmen in the north, soon many of the rock species on the backs of unicorns either fell to the ground or were shot, and some unicorns who lost their riders began to Turn around and flee the battlefield.The northern army blew the horn of counterattack.

Domilik roared and rushed towards the enemy line, and Jon Snow mustered up his courage and rushed out.

The commander of the Stern clan under the driftwood banner saw that the situation was not good, so he chose to flee.A dozen or so unicorns fled together, causing the ground to shake and dust to rise.

When the northern cavalry saw the unicorns fleeing the battlefield, they immediately regained their courage. They remounted their horses and charged at the lone enemy. Some rock species that were too late to escape were killed by the northern cavalry and the infantry who arrived later. , and some rock species became captives.

After the battle, the armors of Domeric and Theon were covered with blood, and Ed was surprised to find that even Jon Snow's chain mail was also stained with blood.

"Jon, I brought you to Skagos Island to help Domeric, take care of the ravens and the letters, how can you charge forward?"

Jon said: "Lord Ed, Domeric can charge, why can't I?"

"Domilik is an adult, you are still as young as grass." Ed criticized.

The captain of the Winterfell guards, Jory Cassel, chained a rock-species young man, and walked over. Jory Cassel said, "Lord Ed, it may be wrong for Jon to claim to go to the battlefield without authorization, but you don't." He should be too harsh, and Jon has taken prisoners! You see, this is Jon's prisoners."

Ed saw the rock-type young man wearing exquisite plate armor, his arm was injured, and his arm was stained red with blood.Rockborn was about 15 years old, no wonder he was captured by Jon.On the chest of the rock species captive is the leafless driftwood coat of arms.Ordinary rock species warriors rarely wear coats of arms. The rock species guide Nunda once mentioned to Ed that leafless driftwood is the coat of arms of the Stern clan.

Ed immediately realized that the rock species young man in front of him might be a minor nobleman.

"Who are you? This is the coat of arms of the Stern clan. What is your relationship with the leader of the Stern clan?"

The Rockseed spat at Ed with disdain, in exchange for a punch from Jory Cassel, who knocked the Rockseed young man to the ground.

Nongda on the side whispered to Ed: "Master Ed, your illegitimate son has made great achievements. The one in front of you is none other than the son of Billy Stern, the leader of the Stern clan, Bowley Sen Stern, heir to Driftwood Hall."

The Stern clan is one of the most powerful clan tribes on Skagos Island. Only the Crow Crow of Samro Crow, the King of the Rock, and the Magna Clan of the King's Hall can compete with Stern Now, Jon Snow has captured the heir of the Stern clan, and Ed suddenly feels full of hope.

Seeing that Jon Snow had captured the heir to Driftwood Hall, Domeric Bolton, Benford Tallhart, Phelan, Syrio and a group of young people all surrounded Jon to congratulate him.

Theon on the side was very unconvinced, "Jon Snow was just lucky, and caught an injured little nobleman."

Ed said: "Theon, on Skagos Island, there are very few nobles. Besides, the heirs of Driftwood Hall are not minor nobles."
