The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 27 The end of the farce

Outside the bow and arrow range of the Red Fort, Lake family soldiers and city thugs gathered. The number of people attacking this time would reach thousands.

Seeing this large team, Rivere felt confident again. They would definitely be able to take the Red Keep, plant the Targaryen flag back in their home fort, and drive away the usurper.

"let's start."

The horns signaling the attack were blown, and the attackers rushed towards the gate of the Red Fort like a rolling wave. The defenders of the Red Fort pulled the bow strings as hard as they could, and arrows fell into the crowd. , someone fell down immediately, but it was like a stone thrown into the wave, disappearing in it in the blink of an eye, without causing any waves.

A smile appeared on Riverey's face. The Red Keep will definitely be captured. He will definitely be able to stand in the Red Keep. In addition, Miss Cersei of the Lannister family is in the Red Keep. After he captures the Red Keep, he will definitely To have a good time - to vent the stress Tywin's damn look had caused him.

But then the upheaval happened.

Rivery first felt the vibration of the horse's hooves trampling on the ground. Just when he was wondering where the cavalry was, a group of mercenary knights appeared in front of him. The mercenary knights had seven-pointed star flags flying above their heads. They were heading straight towards them. The team rushing towards the Red Fort killed them.

"No!"

Riverey roared in disbelief. This pair of cavalry must be enemies. If they succeed, his main force will be finished! But no matter how much he shouted, he couldn't stop the cavalry from crashing into the charging team.

After engaging the enemy, Hu Ge found that his field of vision suddenly shrunk to only a few people beside the war horse, but he was not panicked. He had experienced a lot of battle formations. He skillfully used the long sword in his hand to slash to both sides, and blood continued to splash. , but most of it is sprinkled on the war horses.

The war horse collided with the person in front of him, knocking him over. The horse's hoofs were like a juice-squeezing machine and trampled mercilessly. The man could scream a few times at first, but then there was no sound.

"Go forward! The Seven Gods protect us! Drive away these traitors!"

Hugo didn't look back. He just took the lead. He believed that the mercenary knights would follow bravely, but he rushed forward and found that there were suddenly no enemies in front of him. Only then did he realize that he had penetrated the enemy formation, but he did not stop immediately. , just continued to move forward with a gesture of reducing speed, and slowly slowed down the horse.

After advancing for a while, Hugo slowly led the team to turn around. He rode through the mercenary knights and came to the last line before and now the first line. On the way, he saw the knights' horses and shields. His body and sword were covered with blood, and his face was full of excitement.

Some people kept cheering for Hu Ge, and some chanted the oaths of the Seven Gods Religion. Only a few unlucky ones were pulled off their horses in the piercing attack, and the others were not injured. They were extremely excited now, and they were eager to fight again.

Hu Ge also led them to another battle. The cavalry once again rushed towards the penetrated enemy. Hu Ge was also able to see how many casualties the knights had just caused: corpses could be seen everywhere where the horses' hooves had been trampled, and there were also people. They were wailing on the ground. Listening to the sound, it was obvious that they would not survive for long. As for the people who were still alive, they were busy escaping, and their expressions were filled with fear.

The return of the mercenary knights made the attackers even more frightened and made them run faster. Seeing this, Hugo yelled, "Everyone is free to attack from now on! Free to attack!"

At the same time, at Count Revrey's place, the Count had stopped yelling and was watching everything that happened with a gloomy face. He didn't want to believe that this was all true, but it was true.

However, this does not mean that the earl does not have the strength to fight. He also has hundreds of elite spearmen from Duskendale City, but the earl is hesitant to invest the final strength.

It was feasible for them to fight these hundreds of mercenary knights, and it was also feasible for them to escort him back to Duskdale City. The Earl hesitated which choice to make, but soon he would not have to make this decision.

Because a team of people shot out from behind him. This was a team of fanatical believers wearing brown robes and with seven-pointed stars on their heads. After these fanatical believers, there were a large number of people holding various weapons and even farm tools. There were strong men, mixed with a few mercenaries and knights from the commander. They looked so amateurish that they didn't look like soldiers at all, but at least the number was enough to scare anyone.

The spearmen of Duskendale City showed their professionalism, but in the face of so many enemies, no matter how elite they were, they could only resist for a while before being torn apart.

At this point, everyone could see that the battle was completely over. Count Riverley's face showed despair. Then he drew his sword and rushed towards the enemy. It was better to die here than to die in the aftermath of the Iron Throne's reckoning. As for his family, they can only hope for their own good.

.

Under attack from both inside and outside, the rebels who attacked the Red Keep were naturally quickly defeated. Their leader, Count Revrey Lake of Duskendale, also had his head hung on a spear, enjoying the daily life of the losers in King's Landing. treatment.

After the enemy was routed, neither Hu Ge nor Lao Sparrow pursued them. They gathered their troops.

On the one hand, they cannot disperse their forces at this critical juncture, and on the other hand, the soldiers under his command are all weak. If they are allowed to run around outside, something might happen. Hu Ge does not want to have an "expeditionary army plundering King's Landing". Such chaos would greatly damage the reputation of the expeditionary force.

"Lord Hu Ge, it seems that nothing has happened to you. That's great." The old sparrow said with undisguised excitement and joy.

"I'm fine, old sparrow. How much news about King's Landing do you know so far?" Hu Ge asked quickly. The most important thing right now is to master the information. Once you master the information, you will know what to do.

"The largest enemy force is besieging the Red Fort. If they are defeated, the rebels will be finished. Lord Hu Ge, it can be said that we have won." The old sparrow congratulated Hu Ge in a congratulatory tone, but Hu Ge He was not in the mood to celebrate. After learning the information, he felt relieved, and then made the next order without stopping.

"You guard the Red Fort, and then you find where the rebels are gathering, and defeat them there. You can't let them gain momentum again. I have to go to the trading city-state area. There is what I need to find there."

"Lord Hu Ge, is it related to this rebellion?" The old sparrow thought of Hu Ge's intentions keenly. The only thing that Hu Ge cared about at this critical moment was matters related to the rebellion. Seeing Hu Ge nod, the old sparrow continued Said, "You are already at the gate of the Red Castle, why don't you go and see the queen inside?"

Hugo glanced at the Red Keep and found that the security there was still tight and the guards were still responding to the enemy. He smiled and said, "From the perspective of the Lannister lady, I'm afraid there is no difference between us and the rebels. I'd better not disturb them. So as not to stain the queen’s eyes.”

This is what Hugo thinks on the surface, but what he really thinks is that he doesn’t want to see that crazy woman Cersei. God knows what kind of bad things she will do. And compared to that crazy woman, going to the trading city to catch those people The merchants of Pentos are the most important.

"Okay." The old sparrow saw Hu Ge's disgust and disgust. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still obeyed the order.

"Then I will go in and talk to my niece." Jillian continued, "I haven't seen Cersei for a while. Let's see how the child is doing now. By the way, I can tell him everything about our place."

"Thank you then, Jillian." Hu Ge understood that Jillian was helping him, but Jillian shook his head in vain. This was nothing to him.

Then, Hugo galloped away with the mercenary knights.

.

The Trade City-State District is the most exotic city in King's Landing. The nine free trade cities of Essos and people from further foreign lands will all settle here after coming to King's Landing.

Although pirates roamed the Narrow Sea, they still could not stop the frequent trade exchanges between the East and the West. As exchanges deepened, many Easterners took root in King's Landing, developed their communities, and became part of King's Landing.

Through huge donations, this urban area inhabited by Easterners obtained the privilege of managing itself. Around their neighborhood, Easterners built a wall to wrap it up. Therefore, most areas were dominated by slums, and the trading city-state area became a A place where rich people gather.

After the chaos in King's Landing began, the guards in the city quickly blocked the streets to isolate the chaos from the outside world, so there was no chaos in the trading city-state area.

However, these forces can only block the bandits and thieves who take advantage of the chaos. When the army arrives, they can only open the door honestly.

Therefore, when Hugo's team of knights appeared, the defending mercenaries opened the door very honestly, and then Hugo headed towards the Pentos Hall. Based on the information obtained, what he wanted to find must be there.

Due to the dominant position of the Pantos people in the trade between the East and the West, their guild hall is naturally the largest in the trading city-state area. Hugo found it easily. It was a domed building. The mansion looks very grand.

"Check, don't let go of any piece of paper, bring it to me! If you resist, shoot to death!" Hu Ge didn't intend to talk nonsense with the Pentos people, and directly issued an extremely tough order. Anyway, the Pentos people didn't care. We are all enemies in the future and now, so there is no need to be polite to them.

As the knights rushed into the magnificent guild hall, there was immediately a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, and there were also sounds of people being killed for resisting.

However, the Pantos people could not stop so many heavily armed knights. They could only kneel down before the knights' swords. The resisters had been killed, and a few prominent figures escaped through the tunnels, but that did not affect the overall situation. .

Soon, in the yard in front of the guild hall, the knights moved out documents one by one and also collected many hidden weapons. Hugo directly checked these documents on the spot to see if there was anything he needed.

As he continued to look at these complicated documents, Hu Ge became a little bored, but just when he was about to lose his patience, the next thing he saw made him smile. It was exactly what he wanted.

That was an order from a Prince of Pentos, which requested the Pentos Chamber of Commerce in King's Landing to provide weapons to all forces in King's Landing to increase the tension in King's Landing. This is exactly what Hugo needs now. Get this, He can prove the expeditionary force's innocence and push the blame away.

At this point, Hu Ge was completely relieved, and his whole body finally relaxed. Seven Gods, this is finally over.

But while he was relaxing, he also felt doubtful again. The doubts that had been put aside resurfaced again. The participation of the Pantos people in this matter was stupid in any case. With such a large-scale participation, they had no chance at all. Unable to hide one's presence.

And these Pentos people, looking at their reactions, don't these people realize what they are doing?
  Moreover, according to the mercenary knight who found it, this document was found on the table of the guild master.

Anyway, this is too coincidental. But no matter what, Hu Ge has obtained what he needs. This is enough. He has solved the problem at hand. Let's think about whether there may be a conspiracy behind it.
