Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

There was silence all night, and the time came to three or four in the morning. It would be dawn soon, and the bonfire had gradually extinguished. All the resting people wrapped themselves tightly in the warm blankets. No one wanted to get up and leave the warm blankets. , add a piece of wood to the campfire.

The Ironborn soldiers on the city wall who were responsible for monitoring the troops outside the city were also curled up by the cold air in the swamp in the early morning. They kept stamping their feet and walked back and forth on the city wall, for fear that if they stopped, their feet would be frozen.

The archers in the arrow tower are much better than the guards on the city wall. Bonfires are lit around them to help them resist the cold outside the tower, and the warm environment also makes their bodies relax completely. Tiredness spread slowly over their bodies, and finally they couldn't help but close their eyes, and soon snoring sounded in the tower.

In the darkness that no one noticed, a pair of vertical pupils were sweeping over them, seemingly looking for a suitable target.

In the camp outside the castle, except for some of the guards who were patrolling back and forth in the camp, everyone else seemed to be resting in the tents. But in fact, all the people in the tents were sitting on the ground fully armed, ready to watch at any time. Waiting for orders, their equipment was no longer that of cavalry, but replaced with infantry equipment such as leather armor, shields, spears and short swords.

In Linde's tent, Linde sat there quietly alone, his spirit already connected with Glory who had sneaked into the castle, sharing vision and issuing orders.

The Ironborn's protection of Cailin Bay Castle can be said to be very strict. They not only arranged a dozen guards on the city wall to monitor the movements outside at all times, but also arranged at least a thousand people under the city wall to provide support.

In addition, the three surrounding arrow towers are also equipped with hundreds of archers, ready to attack approaching enemies at any time.

With this arrangement, coupled with the surrounding swampy terrain, even if tens of thousands of people are sent to attack the city, it may be difficult to break through the Castle of Carlin Bay. No wonder the coalition forces in the north have been trapped here for more than ten days and cannot move.

However, no matter how good the layout is, it requires people to execute it. After more than ten days of safety verification, no matter how vigilant these ironmen are, they will inevitably think that the castle in Carlin Bay is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was impossible to break through, let alone thousands of people. This mentality also made them all relax their vigilance, just like now.

Through Glory's special vision, Linde easily found all the secret sentries on the city wall. Perhaps because he was too relaxed, or perhaps because he was too tired, all the secret sentries who were hiding in secret places and in a relatively warm environment were asleep. On fire.

Linde did not hesitate to choose these secret sentries as his first target, and directly gave the assassination order to Glory.

After receiving the order, Glory completely blended into the darkness, silently sneaked up to the whistles, and easily bit off their necks before the target made any movement.

After easily dealing with more than a dozen hidden sentries, Linde targeted the open sentries again.

These guards stood on the city wall and seemed to be able to take care of each other. There were also many soldiers gathered around the bonfire under the city wall. As long as they gave a warning, they would be able to get support. There seemed to be no chance of taking action.

But in fact, all this cooperation can only be completed when they are awake, and now the cold and exhaustion have made them unable to concentrate. They are all curled up, trying to hug the last bit of warmth in their bodies, and the remaining little attention is only Can be used to observe the movement outside.

As for the other companions on the city wall, they have long been out of their attention, and they do not think that their companions will be in danger. After all, the castle in Carlin Bay is in their hands.

In this case, Linde directed Glory to start with those in the shadow of the fire, letting them be swallowed up by the darkness silently.

Afterwards, Linde asked Glory to find an opportunity to drag the remaining guards next to the brazier into the darkness. Although some small noises were made during the attack, such as the twitching of the guards before their death, etc., due to the throat It was bitten and could not make a sound, so it did not disturb the sleeping ironmen under the city wall.

After taking care of the guards on the city wall, Linde used the same method to take care of the archers on guard in the arrow towers.

In fact, these archers were easier to deal with. The silence outside and the warmth in the tower made their vigilance disappear completely. They leaned against the wall and dozed off, not noticing the approach of Glory at all.

After getting rid of the archers who were on guard, Linde asked Glory to hold some sticks and stakes in his mouth, and blocked the door of the room where the other archers were resting to prevent them from doing bad things when they attacked later.

After doing all this, driven by Linde, Glory returned to the castle gate and took off the door bolt on the gate, but did not open the gate because the door's hinge pin was severely corroded and would emit noise once it was turned. Although the sound is not loud, it may not be noticed by people during the day, but in a quiet environment like late at night, the sound is particularly harsh and will definitely disturb many people.

After completing these things, Linde's spirit withdrew from Glory's body, then walked out of the tent and came to the conference tent nearby.

Nymeria and others were waiting here in full gear. He walked to the table in the tent, pointed at the sandbox of Carlin Bay Castle that Holland had built during the day, and told everyone: "The city gate has been opened. , ordered the people below to assemble and be gentle. The first and second cavalry teams went in first and eliminated the guards on the front line of the city wall. The third cavalry team and the fourth cavalry team attacked the nearby barracks, and the rest of the group attacked the castle. "

"Where's the tower?" Holland asked.

Lind waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about that side of the tower. The archers there are all trapped in the room and will not pose any threat to us. We will deal with them after we have dealt with the others."

Holland didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. He vaguely guessed how Linde got rid of the guards in Carlin Bay Castle and opened the door, because just now he saw Glory entering the darkness as if it was under control. Among them, this situation is very similar to when he possessed the lizard.

Therefore, he couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart, wondering whether Linde was a shapechanger like him, because Linde's current performance was too similar, but Linde's ability violated some common sense. This is what he Doubtful place.

For example, green seers or skinchangers usually reduce the amount of metal on their bodies when leaning over animals and plants, because metal can interfere with their spirits. Some powerful green seers and skinchangers may be able to weaken this interference, even if It's okay to wear some metal accessories or weapons, but as Linde is now wearing a metal armor and four metal weapons, it is unprecedented for him to use the ability of a shapeshifter to possess him. Impossible.

When Holland was wondering what kind of power Lind was using, the personnel in the military camp had already been gathered, and under the leadership of their respective captains, they quickly marched to the gate of Carlin Bay Castle.

After the men of the First Cavalry fully opened the gate, the soldiers rushed into the Castle of Carlin Bay and rushed towards their respective targets.

The ironmen in the Castle of Cailin Bay were more lax than Lind expected, and it was not known whether they believed too much in the early warning ability of the guards on the city wall. Although there was a harsh sound when they pushed the door open, they did not Therefore, they are alert, but everyone is still unable to sleep.

It wasn't until the cavalry with spears and shields rushed near them and pierced their spears into their bodies that they were awakened by the pain and screamed.

However, the ironmen who had woken up at this time were unable to resist. Facing the coordinated formation of shields and spears, they had just picked up their weapons and before they had time to stand up, several spears were already pierced into their bodies. Even if some people resisted But he only hit the shield twice before being pierced by the spear.

The more than a thousand ironmen under the city wall had no way to resist. They were pinned down by the shield and spear formations of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry. Huo Lan also led the archers of Gray Water Watch to cooperate in the attack. It is only a matter of time before these people are destroyed.

Although the ironmen resting in the barracks on the other side heard the movement outside, they quickly woke up and picked up their weapons, they did not wear any armor at all. When the third and fourth cavalry teams rushed in, they faced Even if they had a numerical advantage against the spears behind the shields, they still had no ability to resist. Soon hundreds of people were killed by the spears, and the remaining people could only run away to avoid them.

After Lind entered the castle, he and Nymeria led the remaining people to rush to the main castle. The guards at the gate of the main castle were preparing to close the door at this moment, giving other Ironborn troops in the castle time to prepare.

However, Nymeria took the lead and swung the ax in her hand to split the two guards who pushed the door in half. Lind, who followed closely behind, kicked the door and kicked several people behind the door away. After going out, Daisy, Jon and others rushed in, slashing and stabbing all the people in different clothes with the weapons in their hands.

Linde also drew out the Homeless Knight's Great Sword, and with a sprint, he instantly passed the men blocking the front and rushed into the Ironborn's formation. The Knight's Great Sword in his hand swept through the people around him like a guillotine. The sharp blade and powerful force of the sword directly split everything around him in half, and everything around him was instantly cleared.

After several attacks and kills, the dense Ironborn formation in the main castle hall was broken open. Lind shouted towards Nymeria: "You go capture Victarion, I will deal with it later. "

Without hesitation, Nymeria led the people to rush past the military formation that Lind had rushed away, rushed up the stairs, and rushed towards the room where the ironborn commander Heron Botley was resting.

In the hall, Linde continued to kill the ironmen. As long as there were ironmen there who organized resistance, he would rush over and kill the resistance with a wave of spin attacks, and then look for the next target. Soon, everyone gathered in the hall. He and his men had already killed all the more than a thousand ironmen.

At this moment, Nymeria, who was covered in blood, was also holding a human head and walking down the stairs with her men.

Lind didn't know Victarion, so he didn't recognize the true identity of the head. After taking the head from Nymeria, he threw it to Daisy and said, "Take the head out to persuade him to surrender."

After Daisy took the head, she immediately ran out. Except for a few people who were left to clean the battlefield, everyone else followed Daisy out of the hall and went outside to assist others.

"You're not injured, are you?" Lind looked at Nymeria who was covered in blood and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's all the blood on that guy's body." Nymeria shook her head and said with an unfinished expression: "That guy was too weak and could only take one of my axes. It ended too quickly. He has just warmed up, can such a person be called the first warrior of the Iron Islands? "

Lind frowned when he heard this, because he knew that Victarion's combat power should be very strong. Even if Nymeria received his training and her own physique, her strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, she should not be like this. Take out Victarion easily.

Just when Lind was puzzled, Glory emerged from the shadows and walked to Lind's side. Lind put his doubts aside, rubbed Glory's head, smiled and said to Nymeria: "Don't worry, there will be Haijiang City next. There should be a frontal battle there, and it won't be as easy as now."

Nymeria looked at Lind with suspicion. Although there were many more Ironborn in Seaside City than the people here, she knew Lind's strength well and did not think that those people would be more difficult to solve than the people here. .

The battle in the Castle of Cailin Bay ended quickly. The Ironborn archers in the three arrow towers were all captured without playing any role. Only about 600 remaining Ironborn surrendered and were captured. The others All died in the battle, and each of the more than 600 people was injured. It is still unknown how many people will survive in the end.

Linde also lost more than a dozen people on his side, and more than twenty people were injured. Although it was considered a complete victory, Linde was not particularly satisfied, because both the dozen people who died and the injured were Those twenty or so people were all careless, thinking that they had a chance to win, and were counterattacked.

There were losses when there should have been no casualties. This made Linde not very satisfied, and he decided to strengthen training in a targeted manner in the future.

Another dissatisfaction is that Lind already knew from the captives that the man killed by Nymeria was not Victarion, and that Victarion had left Calyn Bay a few days ago.

"Lord Holland, please immediately send someone to inform Duke Ed that Carlin Bay has been cleaned up and ask him to come over as soon as possible. I still need to go to Seaside City to relieve the siege, and I cannot stay here for too long." Linde Found Huo Lan and reminded him.

"I know, I will personally pass the news to the Duke." After hearing this, Huo Lan immediately walked to the open space aside, took out a piece of paper, found a wooden stick, and glued the blood on the body next to him, and quickly He wrote the situation of Carlin Bay on it, and then stamped his ring seal on it.

After that, he walked to a corner and sat down, his eyes rolled, and he instantly entered a state of meditation. Then he saw a raven falling from the sky, holding the note he had written before, and flying up. , flying towards the north.

Lind ordered a few people to guard Huo Lan to prevent anyone from disturbing Huo Lan. Then he and Nymeria led Glory to search the castle again to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

Although in the end they did not find the ironborn who had slipped through the net, they did find two guards from the Moat Cailin. These two guards hid in a secret cellar under the stable. They hid for more than ten days because there was no food. When they found them, they were already dying of hunger. The archer who also came from Greywater Hope almost didn't recognize the two of them.
