The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 33 Attack by the Alpine Clan

After passing through the blood gate, Hu Ge truly entered the valley.

The mountains then unfolded before him, green fields, blue skies, and snow-capped peaks suddenly appeared, and the beauty of the valley was fully revealed to the outsider.

And under the mountains in the distance is the fertile Arryn Vale. The core of the valley, under the surrounding peaks, is black soil full of various crops. The fruits here are so big and sweet that even the Reach cannot compare with them. Compared to.

Surrounded by the scenery and breeze of the valley, Hu Ge felt refreshed from the bottom of his heart, as if he was cheering involuntarily. Yes, he was home.

As the scenery of the valley emerged, many memories of the past appeared in Hu Ge's mind, all from his own youth. He and his father participated in various martial arts tournaments across the valley, witnessing his father winning one victory after another.

"Lord Hugo, please feel free to proceed along the valley road. The guardians of the valley have prepared supplies and camps along the route."

William Shidong, the temporary Blood Gate manager, said, and kept gesticulating towards the Valley Avenue. He sent Hu Ge's team off for a while, and was now walking on the last section of the mountain road leading to the Erin Valley. The large army was already walking on it. Up ahead, Hu Ge had just supervised the last batch of stragglers to catch up with the team.

"Thank you, Sir William."

Hu Ge said to the Blood Gate Knight, but just as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

A sharp horn suddenly sounded in the air of the valley. Everyone, including Hu Ge, was startled. The Blood Gate Knight was the first to react, "It's the Alpine Clan! Seven Gods, how dare they Launch an attack so close to the Blood Gate!"

As soon as Sir William finished speaking, he threw a spear and hit Hugo's horse. The horse fell down with howling and roaring.

After being thrown off the horse, Hu Ge was already prepared for this. Before the horse fell completely, he quickly pulled out one leg to avoid being crushed underneath. Then he quickly picked up the shield and protected it. on the chest.

Hu Ge's decision was correct. A wave of spear throwing rain fell in front of Hu Ge. The flying spears were of different styles. Some were even just a branch with a rough spear head, but the lethality was still enough. Many of the Blood Gate guards fell in the throwing of spears.

Hu Ge felt the blow on his shield and was glad to have the shield on his chest, but he immediately heard a kill call.

A large number of barbarians suddenly appeared on the foothills full of green fields. They were unshaven, wrapped in furs, shouting in dialect and joined the battlefield. Hugo also saw some riders galloping over on ponies, not forgetting to throw spears in their hands. .

The soldiers of the Blood Gate and Hu Ge's old battalion reacted quickly and quickly formed a battle formation around the commander. The Alpine clan howled and bumped into the shields of the flatlanders, breaking through the battle line with a fearless fighting style, allowing the battle to continue. Enter the melee.

Hu Ge thrust his long sword into the face of a mountain clan wearing a half-helmet. Blood spurted out immediately, but the mountain clan still relied on inertia to rush forward. It was not until Hu Ge gave him a kick that the man rolled aside and died. .

There were melees everywhere around Hu Ge. He saw the Blood Sect soldiers fighting with the Alpine Clan. His cronies were trying to get closer to him, but they were all cut off by the Alpine Clan who were constantly charging. The clans riding ponies Riders kept galloping in the formation, and Hugo saw with his own eyes that a soldier with an eagle on his chest was knocked over and then trampled by horse hooves.

"Lord Hu Ge, are you okay?" Sir William leaned nervously on Hu Ge's back, his blood-stained sword alert to the outside world. He had just killed a clan rider who was attacking on horseback. "These mountain clans are different from usual, Hu Ge Master Ge, their equipment is much better than that of ordinary looters."

Hu Ge also noticed what William said. Most of the people in the besieging Gaoshan clan were armed with ordinary iron weapons. This was already a huge leap for the Alpine clan, who mostly carried inferior swords and stolen farm tools.

However, they still don't see much iron on their bodies, and this is enough.

"Lord Hu Ge, we just need to hold on for a while, the troops in front will come over soon." William blocked the sword of the mountain clan in front of him, and did not forget to say to Hu Ge, but he found that Hu Ge took the initiative to attack.

Hu Ge cut off the sword-holding arm of a high-mountain clan and chopped down a spearman. He also grabbed the spear that the spearman had lost and threw it towards the nearest high-mountain clan. He was killed. The man Hugo threw fell down.

Hu Ge's series of smooth performances made William look a little stupid. He didn't expect that Hu Ge would perform like this. And watching Hugo chop melons and vegetables and cut down one mountain clan after another, William quickly followed Hugo's footsteps and attacked. How could he just let the guests fight in front? It would be dereliction of duty to attack. If it was like this, it would be even more derelict of duty. .

As Hugo cut down one high mountain clan after another, more and more people gathered behind him, but at this time, the high mountain clans were not timid and were still fighting bravely.

This changed Hugo's perception of these ragged mountain people, who were almost refugees. They have not yet collapsed. These mountain people are really strong enough. I am afraid it is precisely because of this fighting spirit that they are able to deal with the Valley Knights. That long.

However, at the next moment, Hu Ge's thoughts were "slapped in the face". There was a sound of horse hooves, which was the troops coming back from the front. As these cavalry appeared, the high mountain clans dispersed in a hurry, running away quickly. The speed made Hu Ge look stupid.

Although the Gaoshan clan moved quickly, some people thought ahead of them. I saw many soldiers who were dressed just a little better than the Gaoshan clan at the foot of the mountain. They all had weapons in their hands. This group of people wanted to escape up the mountain. The Gaoshan clan launched a massacre.

Those who detoured back to the foothills were the barbarians from the Crab Claw Peninsula. Their daily activities were in the forests and valleys of the Crab Claw Peninsula. They had already developed the ability to walk on the plains in the mountains, so Baron Eustace directly chose He led his army back to the foot of the mountain in a roundabout way.

At this point, the battle was over. Hu Ge did not look at the killings on the mountain. The Gaoshan clan had no possibility of victory. Instead, he passed through the soldiers looking for the wounded and property and walked to the corpse of a Gaoshan clan.

The appearance of this Alpine clan can be said to be typical of attackers. They are wrapped in furs and wear obviously too big hats. The swords in their hands are old but still well maintained. Although this Alpine clan looks tall, they all rely on tents. The figure under the tent was actually very thin, and he was still an old man.

Looking at this corpse, Hu Ge couldn't help but wonder what kind of life the Gaoshan clan lived. Judging from this corpse, the Gaoshan clan was seriously lacking in items from the plains, and basically only had products from the mountains.

To be honest, this is abnormal. Mountain and valley residents can complement each other in terms of materials, and transactions should be very frequent. Many precious animals and plants produced in the mountains are also extremely valuable to the valley rulers, and with During the transaction, both parties can communicate and establish a harmonious relationship.

However, in the valley, there is no basis for harmony between the two sides. In Hugo's memory, the conflict between the mountain clan and the valley people has lasted for thousands of years. Both clan warriors and valley knights have made it a custom to attack each other.

The people of the valley regard trade with the Gaoshan clan as a weapon. They believe that restricting the trade of materials to the mountains will disgust the Gaoshan clan. However, the more severe the blockade, the more numerous the wars between the two sides. The Gaoshan clan extorted the villages and towns in the valley. and robberies are endless.

What caused this situation was also the attitude of the valley rulers. They had an attitude of exterminating the Gaoshan clan, because there were always people who were forced by the rulers to climb the mountains and become members of the Gaoshan clan - —The most annoying thing for rulers is population loss, and they hate the behavior of escaping from rule even more.

Regarding the dispute between the mountain clan and the valley people, Hu Ge feels that it is easy to resolve. The mountains and valleys should not be in opposition. They should be highly connected. As the connection deepens, most of the conflicts will be unknowingly dissolved. It's a pity that he doesn't have that status, so he can only think about it.

Shifting his thoughts away from the Alpine clan, Hugo raised his head and saw Sir William sitting on a stone in despair. Hugo understood his loss. If something like this happened so close to the Blood Gate, he would undoubtedly The one who needs to take responsibility, given his status as an illegitimate child, will probably feel very uncomfortable next time.

Hu Ge wanted to comfort him with a few words, but the words still couldn't come out. Some of the words were still too arrogant. He still didn't speak and looked at the Baron of Dreadhole Castle who came to him to show off his military exploits and the report. The result of the battle is Canatir.

No one paid much attention to the attack itself. The Gaoshan clan did not do bold things in a day or two. They even dared to kill people from the Aylin family. No one thought that there would be any conspiracy after this attack.

And on the high mountain that was difficult for everyone to see clearly, a mountain clan wrapped in fur looked at this scene, took out parchment and pen, and recorded something on it. After putting away the parchment, the man put his hands on his face. Started massaging.

Then under the sunlight, the person's appearance changed and turned into a new face that was completely different from the one before.

This skill is only mastered by believers of the God of Many Faces, and this is indeed a faceless man. In the attack just now, this faceless man confirmed one thing.

At a level that is difficult for humans to see, Hugo is really blessed by supernatural power. It seems that in order to give him death, the servants of the Thousand-Faced God must go in person.

The Faceless Man is very confident, so it doesn't matter if he has the blessing of the gods. When the dagger comes directly, everyone will die.
