The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 192: Battles in the South and North
"Confirm again, has Lord Inis received the message?"

"Lord Hugo, I am sure that Lord Innis received it. I passed through the enemy's camp, met Lord Innis, dictated your orders, and then returned. I can guarantee this in the name of the Seven Gods."

"Then let's go."

After saying that, Hugo jumped onto the horse, sat on the saddle, and subconsciously adjusted various equipment.

On the other side of the ridge is Darry's camp. The farmer's flag is flying above the camp. The Andas riders are now hiding in the enemy's blind spot.

After Myr was temporarily stabilized, Hugo went north to solve the trouble in the north. When he was hesitating whether to solve the problem of Pentos or Upper Lorne first, he received bad news from Pentos.

The Pentos lords who went south told Hugo that Aenys was attacked by Darry and Braavos together and suffered a great defeat. His main force suffered heavy losses and was besieged by Darry.

Innis is the commander of Pentos and an important ally of Hugo. He must not be lost. Without him, Pentos, which was originally intended to be a stable rear base, will instead become a source of instability.

And there is the Golden Company, a large mercenary group that behaved in an extremely ambiguous manner during the chaos that swept across the East. They ignored the invitation of the Targaryen rebels, nor responded to the call of the feudal lords, but simply stayed on their peninsula and maintained good relations with either side.

Obviously, these mercenaries are just standing by and watching. It seems that the new leader of the Golden Group who took office recently is a fence-sitter just as the rumors say.

It is precisely because of this that Hugo also has to deal with the problems in Pentos. If the Golden Group has inappropriate ideas and makes wrong decisions, then it will be troublesome to solve some problems.

So, when Hugo heard the news, he abandoned his infantry and led all the cavalry to the besieged area of ​​Innis.

Along the way, Hugo summoned the still loyal Pentos lords and some scattered remnants he met, and asked them to take out their most elite cavalry to join his raid. These people also proved their value. They were all good guides. It was with their help that Hugo was able to arrive at such a good starting point so smoothly.

"Lord Hugo, please listen to me again. With your current position, you don't need to lead the army to break through the enemy lines. Just let the soldiers below do it."

The shrewd Gleichel spoke up and persuaded Hugo. Hugo had originally planned to let him stay in Mir, but Gleichel said that it was fine for her son to stay there. Hugo was so enthusiastic that he naturally didn't want to pour cold water on him.

Hugo just waved his hand at his words and said, "I have relied on military affairs to get to where I am today. One should not forget one's roots. Besides, the Seven Gods are protecting me."

When Hugo said this, people prayed to the Seven Gods one after another, and any objections were blocked by Hugo.

"Don't delay, let's go."

Hugo understood that they couldn't delay too long. Darry's patrolmen had just arrived here. Although those people were killed by them immediately, Darry would definitely realize the problem when he saw that the patrolmen hadn't come back for so long.

The one favored by God drove the warhorse, and the other riders followed. At first everyone walked slowly and the noise was not very loud, but as the speed increased, the noise became louder and louder.

Hugo would never have dared to lead the cavalry to attack the fully prepared garrison camp. Even when fighting against Viserys's cannon fodder that was used to delay their time, he let the infantry remove all obstacles on the way forward, and then let the cavalry rush forward to make the final blow.

However, the Darry camp in front of them did not have any decent defenses. It was just a simple fence with a few sharp wooden stakes scattered outside the fence. It seemed that Darry had just arrived here not long ago.

Then Hu Ge had to enjoy the thrill of the cavalry raiding the camp. He hadn't enjoyed this feeling for a long time.

The large-scale cavalry movement caused a lot of noise, but anyone seeing the smoke and the huge noise would be aware of the arrival of the enemy cavalry, so Darry and others also realized the arrival of the enemy.

Hugo saw that many Dai Swiss soldiers were not wearing armor, some were even eating and washing clothes, and even the knights, few were wearing armor.

It seems that Innis is in a miserable state now, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure to be defeated by Darry.

Darry's soldiers were panicked by the appearance of the cavalry. Some of them were simply scared silly, some turned around and ran, and some quickly put on armor.

This won't save them, Hugo thought, lowering his lance and ready to give the order to his horse to go over Darry's fence.

With just a slight kick of the horse's belly, the warhorse understood the master's intention and jumped over the low fence. Darry's soldiers fled in all directions in front of Hugo. Hugo saw a brave soldier who did not run away. He put the tip of his spear on the ground and aimed it at the surging cavalry.

However, it is still too short, Hugo thought, and then he stabbed the man with a longer lance, and the spear shaft fell out of his hand. Hugo drew out his sword and chopped left and right subconsciously, and Darry fled in front of him.

Only then did Hugo have the energy to look at other people. He saw the knights chopping down the enemies who were not running so fast, saw the war horses crashing into huts and tents, and saw Darry's men being defeated.

This kind of killing is unnecessary. Hugo thought that he had to find the key to end this battle quickly, and his eyes scanned the battlefield. He soon found what he wanted, which was a Darry flag held by a fully armed knight. The knight's other hand was whipping the surrounding soldiers, trying to drive them to resist the cavalry.

It's you, Hugo made up his mind and rode towards the man.

The knight holding the banner is named Riel Dale, his family is a branch of Darry, although this layer of kinship is so distant that they can be strangers, but it does not affect this family from becoming Darry's own. When Darry opened up his business in the East, the Dale family followed closely behind and contributed to Darry's eastern territory.

Riel did not support Darry's rebellion, but as a knight, all he could do was to be loyal and firmly believe that his master would lead them to victory.

When Hugo's cavalry charged out, Riel put on his armor as quickly as possible, raised the flag to encourage everyone, and picked up the whip to drive the soldiers back to fight. They were Darry's men, and of course they should die for Darry.

Suddenly, Riel had a bad premonition and looked in the direction where the feeling came from. He saw a rider approaching at high speed. The man's armor seemed to be luxurious, but it was so because the sword had already hit his hand and his entire arm was chopped off.

At this moment, Riel suddenly realized the identity of the person in front of him. Wearing such luxurious armor and holding a Valyrian steel sword, it could only be that person...

Riel felt a sense of fear, the fear of resisting the God's favored, but he soon did not have to worry, because Hugo chopped off his head very neatly. As the only Darry army flag fell nearby, the Darry army's collapse was completely unstoppable. Hugo raised his head and saw Frey's twin towers appear in front of him.

Hugo knew that victory was completely his.

.

Darry and his descendants were beheaded, and blood flowed to Hugo's feet. Hugo moved away with some disgust.

Darry and his kin fought hard, but surrounded by Hugo's knights and pressed on all sides by shields, all they could do was exhaust their strength and be captured.

Hugo didn't want to exterminate the Darry clan, but that moment was approaching, and Hugo would not allow any unsafe factors to exist in the territory.

Therefore, neither Darry nor any of his descendants can survive.

Besides, Lord Aenys was eager to chop off the Darrys' heads, and Hugo had to use their land to feed his hungry wolves.

Therefore, the Darrys must die.

In this way, a family that had been passed down for thousands of years was cut off from its bloodline. Perhaps there were still some branches left, but these branches would soon cut off ties with Darry.

As for those who are unwilling, Hugo believes that Innis will take care of it. When his infantry arrives, they will begin to sweep Darry's territory.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Hugo destroyed a well-known Westeros family in the original book. To be honest, this made him feel quite subtle, but this feeling only lasted for a while before Hugo forgot about it.

After watching this scene, Hugo turned to the commander behind him and said, "Lord Inis, can you tell me how you lost? And what about Belishi's army? I sent them to support you."

Hugo cared a lot about this. The force in Aenys's hands could be said to be strong in both men and horses. Logically, they should not have been defeated by Darry, even with the addition of the Braavos people.

"There's a traitor in my army." Innis was furious. "That Black Walder... He is the core of our family, but he mixed with those youngsters to start this rebellion. I thought he was just a little naughty, but I didn't expect... And my two damn sons, Seven Gods, why do I have such wicked sons... As for Berich, I don't know what happened to him, but since he is not blocked here like me, he is either dead or has successfully broken through. But I think that slippery guy is probably fine."

Hugo had no comment on Frey's family affairs. That was Frey's own business. No matter how serious the situation was, they were still a family. Now it was a situation where you wanted to kill me and I wanted to kill you, but when these Frey juniors were defeated, it might be a different scene.

Having worked with the Freys for so many years, Hugo had already seen the situation of the Frey family. The children who were personally raised and educated by Lord Walder, who were now the main members of the Freys, had the idea that blood was thicker than water deeply rooted in their hearts. However, the third and fourth generations and the sons who came after them were...

The kind of people they are can be seen from the rebellious Black Walder.

Hugo also knew Black Walder, the fourth generation of Old Frey. Even in Andas, Hugo had heard of many of his bestial behaviors, and knew that he was constantly in conflict with Innis in order to expand his power - but even so, Hugo did not expect that he would betray Innis.

As for Belich, Hugo had the same attitude as Inis. They believed that the guy must still be alive. It was not his style to die like that. Moreover, Hugo had a hunch that this bastard team was probably fine.

After thinking about this, Hugo took a look at Innis's current army. Well, it was indeed a bit miserable. He had no more than a few hundred people under his command, but fortunately, most of them were knights. As long as there were knights, the team could be quickly reunited with the knights.

"Lord Aenys, can we continue the fight? I plan to head to Pentos next and clean out the Braavosi there."

"Of course, Lord Hugo, I am eager to drive out the Braavosi from my city immediately. Recently, my father sent a message asking me to bring some Frey troops back to the other side of the narrow sea..."

"What's going on here?"

This made Hugo very concerned. At this critical moment, Frey was still moving his army to Westeros. Could it be that the situation there was not favorable to Frey? No, he had not received such news... Wait...

Hugo thought of something. The Red Wedding? Could it be that it happened? So Frey wanted to withdraw the troops?

However, after thinking about it for a while, Hugo suppressed all his doubts. There was too little information now, and he couldn't tell what Frey was going to do. It would be better for him not to think too much.

Facing Hugo's question, Innis gave a normal answer, "Frey's army has suffered heavy losses recently. Don't worry, in order to repay your help, I won't take too many people with me."

Innis's answer to Hugo was not that serious. If Frey wanted to do that, he would definitely not tell him about it.

Besides, whatever Frey was mobilizing his troops for, Hugo had no reason not to let him do it.

As for the Red Wedding, Hugo's attitude towards that matter was indifferent, even a little hostile - this was because Eddard's wife was a fish, and Hugo had no good feelings towards Tully, and even felt a little disgusted.

However, the bottom line is that no matter what happens in Westeros now, it will not have much impact on him, so Hugo's attitude towards that side is so stable.

Of course, he will definitely intervene in the West later, but that will be after he solves the problems here.

"In that case, Lord Inis, let us clean up the battlefield here and then prepare to go to Pentos."

"it is good."

Just like that, the two men left here, leaving Darry's body to the wild animals. The wilderness on the plain had seen countless such bodies. The Darry family was based on farming and was good at managing the land. Here, dust returned to dust, and earth returned to earth. This was their way of life.
