The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 95 Rescue the Siege of Twin Star City

Twin Star City, the central city of Andas, has experienced several wars in the past few years, and these wars have caused drastic changes in the city.

However, most of the current residents in the city believe that changes will make the city better and better, because the slave owners who have enslaved the river valley for many years have been driven out. Next is the era of the Andals, their era.

Twin Star City did experience extreme prosperity for a time. This was because the original middle and upper-class forces were wiped out in a short period of time, leaving a large amount of benefits waiting to be divided among all parties. Everyone was vying to join in.

The reason why it was once was because after everyone poured into Double Star City, they found that the interests of the city had been divided by the big bosses of all parties. What they got was only three melons and two dates. For ordinary people, these three melons and two dates were nothing. The class has jumped, but for the lords, it is just a beggar.

Therefore, as various parts of the Andas began to cleanse the slave owners' forces, everyone returned to their places to take possession of everything left by the slave owners. Naturally, Twin Star City did not have the prosperity it had at the beginning.

At that time, everyone thought that the city would get better and better, and the slave owners' cakes fed almost everyone, but then, war came again.

Ever since the Norvos army broke through the Triangle, Twin Star City has been receiving a steady stream of news about the defeat on the front lines. The whole city has also become panicked. There are always citizens on the streets who think they know something. The so-called "exclusive news" further intensified the panic.

Fortunately, Bishop Lu Chen, who was in charge of the city at the moment, was not frightened by the chaos. He decisively ordered the city gates to be closed, allowing the Military Order of Servants of the Stars - or the Knights - to take over the city's defense, and also asked the garrison to move. The people got up and imposed martial law on the city.

The so-called Servants of the Stars is a military order established by Bishop Lu Chen. After Hugo announced the theory of the Knights, Bishop Lu Chen responded. The result was the establishment of the Servants of the Stars Military Order in Star City. This military order It became the first organized armed force in the hands of the Eastern Church.

The Church of Westeros has always been a carrot and a pit. Every position is watched by many people. Now that there is an opportunity to go to the East to obtain a position, many people are naturally tempted. In order to win over them, Lu Chen These people were drawn into military orders - as for those who were unwilling to fight, they could also directly join the Eastern Church.

Statina, who was walking side by side with Hugo, looked at the ruins and corpses. The Saint of the Valley was wrapped in a robe and had a furry hat on her head, which made her look quite cute. Statina's expression There is no change, it is as normal as being in a garden, even if you see the miserable corpse, you will not be moved.

However, when he thought that if he lost the fight, he would be doomed, Hu Ge would feel extremely happy in his heart.

Seeing this, the Norvos people stopped testing, and instead surrounded the city, carefully building truly reliable siege equipment, and preparing to launch a serious siege of the city.

Outside the walls of the current Twin Star City, the place where the Norvos military camp was originally turned into ruins. The tents that once stood like an ocean were mercilessly trampled by war horses, and some were burned by flames. The Norvos people The corpses also fell in twos and threes.

However, as he won the victory in the south and came north to Twin Star City, the Norvos people's plan was shattered, beyond shattering - this is the impact of victory, a victory is enough to revitalize The big picture.

The Norvos then launched an offensive against the city. Norvos soldiers carrying long ladders rushed to the city wall, but they all fell under the long-prepared firepower on the city wall. Twin Star City proved that defense was not Empty shell.

Hugo, wearing that gorgeous armor, rode his horse through the ruins of the Novos military camp. He lamented the scale of the Novos siege. It was equivalent to building another wall around the city wall, as well as the unfinished sieges. The weapons and equipment all indicate that the Novos people are serious about besieging the city.

Bishop Lu Chen's actions were correct. The chaos in Twin Star City was immediately stopped by martial law. He also mobilized the city militia. These people were very enthusiastic about defending the city because now this is their city, not the slave owner's city. .

Their strategy was also very successful, causing turmoil in the city for a time. In the end, Bishop Lu Chen saved the situation and calmed the people with his speeches and sermons. As a senior priest of the Church of the Seven Gods, he was very capable in this regard. Strong, what they saw and heard during the expedition strengthened these abilities.

Twin Star City, which is under siege, is naturally quite turbulent, especially as Twin Star City is constantly affected by all kinds of bad news from the outside world - the Norvos people continue to show captives and flags from surrounding towns to the city, shaking it. The confidence of the defenders.

In this way, Twin Star City persisted until the war situation finally changed drastically.

When the Norvos army marched south, many towns along the way either fled upon hearing the news or looked back. This made the Norvos people full of confidence. However, when the Norvos people would successfully capture the Double Star City, the city failed. The gate is tight, and there are many swords and spears on the city wall, and the defenders are waiting in full formation.

This made Hugo's previous worries about her poor performance somewhat unnecessary, but thinking about it, he was indeed overly worried. After all, his wife had come out of the storm of the Andal Uprising, and she could still do so without hesitation. made a decision - but her beautiful appearance and indifferent mood are really confusing.

Statina joined him when he led the army from the City of Hugo to the north. After the Novus people broke through and swept the Andas, Statina decisively organized the defenders of the City of Hugo. , then mobilized the city's pilgrims.

As the head of the Church of the Seven Eastern Gods recognized by all parties, Bishop Lu Chen's Knights naturally received a large number of responses, and applicants came in droves. However, Lu Chen mainly used it to place priests sent from Westeros, and ordinary applicants Let’s start with the half-brothers.

When the news came that the Norvos army had broken through, it originally caused a lot of fear in the city of Hugo. However, as the Saint of the Valley stepped forward, this panic was quickly contained. Statina settled in the east. She has great prestige among the Dal people, and her standing up is enough to appease people.

Next, Statina led the army assembled from the city of Hugo to fight against the Norvos. Hu Ge once asked her, why didn't you choose to stick to the city? Although the temporary wall in Hu Ge's city was made of wood, it could still be relied on.

And Statina replied, "If the whole army of Novus people comes, the few people in Hugo City can't stop them. Instead of doing this, I might as well scare them."

Hugo didn't expect Statina to make such a decision. Due to her beautiful appearance and indifferent personality, Hugo would often subconsciously think that she was a vase, so that he ignored what she had done. In the end, she was successful. She did scare the Novos people. After the initial friction, the Novos people did not attack the city of Hugo - but if he lost, none of this would matter. use.

Statina's troops greatly supplemented Hugo's army. After the battle with the Novos army, Hugo's army also suffered heavy losses. In order to maintain stability in the future, at least some seeds should be left. Hugo had to leave many troops in a safe place. As a result, his army going north was reduced to 10,000 people. However, he brought many strong men along the way. In the name of returning home, many people followed him northward, allowing The army looks very powerful.

Hugo is not willing to do such a thing as pulling a strong man, but now there is no other choice except this choice. In any case, he must first build up the momentum and try to scare away the newly defeated Novos people. He is not afraid of fighting. The enemy is just a group of defeated soldiers. It is difficult for the defeated soldiers to restore their morale. He is not afraid of fighting again.

Originally, Hugo planned to pull people in while walking, but he found that the villages and towns along the way had been severely damaged by the Norvos, and ruins and hanged lords could be seen everywhere. So Statina's people came at the right time, bringing not only combat-effective soldiers but also pilgrims who filled the scene.

The gate of Double Star City slowly opened in front of Hu Ge. As the distance got closer, Hu Ge also saw the scars on the city wall clearly. He thought of the trebuchets he had seen before, although they were also typical barbarians. Trebuchet, but it is perfectly adequate for hitting a target as big as a city wall.

Speaking of which, he initially thought that there were a large number of Norvos people under Twin Star City. Hugo recalled the battle last night. At that time, he supervised the army to conduct a surprise march and rushed to the foot of Double Star City in a short time. The Norvos people had not discovered them yet.

Looking at the brightly lit Norvos camp, Hugo believed that the main force of the enemy was here, so he divided the army into two parts and attacked the enemy simultaneously according to signals from the left and right banks of the Little Lorne River.

He still remembered that night, when he stood on a high place and watched his army easily push the enemy's battle line, and watched the flames burning in the Novos military camp. At that time, he was a little surprised, and the Novos showed it. With such tenacity, would they be defeated so easily?
He sent several waves of people to the front line to inquire about the situation. However, due to the chaos at night, the people sent did not come back. It was not until daybreak finally dawned that he found out that there were at most several thousand Norvos people under Twin Star City. What they fought was an empty camp!
Hu Ge felt that he had been fooled at the time, but then he felt relieved. This was a victory no matter what, but the next moment, worries reappeared. The reason was very simple. If the Novos people were not here, then where did they go? Have you gone?

Hu Ge would have this idea in his heart from time to time, and now he was immersed in it. It was not until Bishop Lu Chen walked out of the open city gate that Hu Ge's thinking returned to the present.

Lu Chen was wearing his archbishop's robe and a crystal crown on his head. As for his expression, it could be described as a face full of red light, making Hugo feel like he would kiss his boots the next moment.

"It is truly blessed by the Seven Gods, Lord Hugo. You came at the perfect time. If you had come a little later, I might have been doomed. You don't know that when I saw the Novos camp burning outside the city, I How happy I am, the seven gods bless me, the seven gods bless me.”

The bishop who walked up to Hu Ge said, he saluted Hu Ge at the same time, and there was undisguised fear in his words. It seemed that the bishop was really afraid of being under heavy siege.

Hu Ge took a look at his entourage and the citizens who came out behind him. These people were neatly dressed and orderly, and they did not look hungry. This made him sure that Lu Chen had just been released here. Emotions weighed down inside.

Lu Chen was having a hard time during this time. The whole city's burden was on his shoulders. This was the first time he had to carry such a heavy burden. He was extremely panicked, but he had to suppress his inner panic to comfort others.

This makes Hugo a little funny. This weasel who always hides his emotions finally has to show his true colors.

"Bless the Seven Gods, Bishop Lu Chen. Thank you very much for your efforts and the efforts of all the soldiers in the city." Hugo responded first, and then asked what he cared about most, "Do you know what the main force of the Novos people is? Has the place gone?"

Hearing Hu Ge's question, Lu Chen seemed to realize that his behavior just now was inappropriate, so he coughed and returned to his demeanor as an archbishop. The weasel bishop in Hu Ge's memory came back again.

"About four days ago, a larger Norvos army arrived, but they only stayed here for one night and then left. The original defenders were not taken away. Since they were besieged in the city, we only You can see them heading west."

When Lu Chen was talking, he looked at Hu Ge's emotions from time to time. It seemed that he wanted to change his words according to Hu Ge's expression, but Hu Ge didn't care about Lu Chen's little actions at all. What he cared about was Nuofu. What are you doing?

He had thought about the possible directions in which the Norvos people could go, and the most common ones were to the north and east, or to fight him to the death near Twin Star City, but he never thought that it would be to the west, the west, then no It's flat ground, where did the Norvos go? What were they going there for?
This was completely inconsistent with Hugo's expectations of the Novos people's movements. Hugo immediately frowned, thinking about why the Novos people would go to the west, but after much thinking, he only thought of one place.

"Pantos, they should be going to Pentos."

Statina was the one who spoke. She said what Hugo was thinking before Hugo spoke. Hugo just glanced at her and didn't care, because he was more concerned about why the Novos people were going there. Pantos?

The Pentos army was defeated by him in Ge Duohe. Do the Pentos people still have any fighting strength? Why did the Norvos go to join the Pentos regardless?
Too many questions echoed in Hu Ge's mind. Seeing Hu Ge fall into doubts, everyone around him became quiet, waiting for Hu Ge to speak. However, Hu Ge couldn't think of anything in the end because there was too little information.

"Let's enter the city first."

Finally, Hu Ge said, there is still too little information now, let’s collect more information before talking about it.

Moreover, it would be of no harm to him if the Norvosians ran to the west. However, he remembered that the second expeditionary force was already on the way. Calculating the time of their departure, they should have almost reached Essos by now - but , and because of this, he was even more puzzled as to why the Novos people wanted to go there.

Since you can't figure it out, let's stop thinking about it and enjoy your victory in Double Star City. Hugo finally thought this way, and then walked towards the city that welcomed him.
