Chapter 106 Fire, fire, fire!
After once again carefully looking at the tomb-like Twins City in the dark night, Robb Stark, who was riding on his horse, waved his riding crop impatiently.
Why hasn't it started yet?
The young man was a little annoyed, but more worried.
Behind him, five thousand northern cavalry have gathered and formed several small impact formations in the camp. Just waiting for Robb Stark's order, they will draw their swords and rush towards the Twins. city.
He was anxious, Sir Malone was even more anxious, but even more anxious than them were the dozens of White Sea Guards already lurking near the city gate, as well as the four Demon Hunter guards who were mixed in among Frey's soldiers. .
It was already late at night, and if there was any further delay, it would be dawn. Whether inside or outside the city, the risk of exposure would be greatly increased.
Anti Hewen cursed himself over and over again, why he couldn't provide the commander with a better way to break the city. Now, the commander himself carries out the assassination with his sword. This is why he is so responsible for the White Sea Guard Twin River City. Dereliction of duty!
The White Sea Guards who were following him, pretending to be civilian husbands, were in an even more roller-coaster mood.
Originally, they all had their own tasks. Some were collecting intelligence and inquiring about news, and some were mingling with the military camps in the city, hoping to find out the specific number and configuration of Frey's army.
However, suddenly, their boss, Anti River, summoned them all together in the White Sea Guard's unique way. Everyone looked confused and didn't know why they all stopped what they were doing in the middle of the night.
Faced with the confusion in everyone's eyes, Anti Hewen made everyone energetic with just one sentence.
"The Commander has led a small team to sneak into Twin River City. He has given us an order: Tonight, seize the gate of Twin River City. The northern army outside is ready to attack!"
Anti Hewen did not have time to explain clearly to them, so he immediately gave them all the prepared standard weapons and arranged for them to arrive near the city gate.
They were waiting for Anti River's order, and Anti River was waiting for Clay's signal.
…
Clay, who was full of worries, was very calm at this time. After killing Walder Frey and Inis Frey, Clay did not go downstairs to kill Steven Frey.
Originally, in his plan, this old guy was going to die tonight, but after thinking about it, there had to be someone who took the blame for this bloody farce.
It's up to you, Steven Foley!
Who told you to lose the dagger that can prove your identity, right?
The princes in the north only knew that Clay had entered the city, but no one knew what he was doing.
In the end, Lord Walder Frey and Ser Aenys Frey both died in the highest room of the main castle, and the only thing left at the scene was Ser Stevron's dagger.
Clay wants to borrow Robb Stark's sword to bring this incident to a bloody conclusion.
Regardless of whether the logic can be really smoothed out, the princes in the north also need a justifiable reason.
Kill the parricide, the will of the gods.
Clay waited until Kerrison also left the room. The moment he closed the door, he knocked over a burning candle with the hilt of his sword.
The candle rolled with flame onto the gorgeously woven carpet, and then the first fire was lit.
"Come on, let's light the second fire."
Clay took the silent Krissen to the warehouse next to the main castle.
There was a large amount of fine firewood piled up there, including Lord Walder Frey's favorite precious woods and various incense.
In addition to being of great value, it is also the best fuel.
After overthrowing the guards, Clay used the Igni Seal to set fire to the huge warehouse.
The wood burned slowly at first. Clay still had time, but he had to hurry up.
Because once the fire breaks out, the cavalry regiment outside the city may be launched. If some of the city gate defenders cannot be mobilized in time, there will be trouble.
The second fire burned quietly in the warehouse.
"Master, what should we do now?"
Kristen, who had recovered, calmly asked his young master.
In the dark night where he could barely see people clearly, Clay patted the Frey armor on his body and showed his white teeth:
"Now, someone is setting a fire. We two alone can't save it. Wait a moment and wait for the fire to burn for a while. Then you can run to the city gate and call for help."
Clay took out a small gold tower from his pocket and threw it to Kristen.
"This thing is Walder Frey's token. Inis Frey mentioned it to me when I was chatting with him before. I found this thing on Walder Frey's desk."
"Later, you will take it with you and ask people to put out the fire. You can take away as many soldiers from the city gate as possible."
"But be smart, take them away, forget about putting out the fire, find a chance to leave, find a place to hide, take off this armor, and wait until the city is broken."
Kerrison understood that the young master was going to be separated from him, and he would finally have to carry out the mission alone. This was what the young master had always emphasized when training them.
"You know your strength very well, so in the future, your battlefield will be behind the enemy's rear. It is their granary, their water source, and their arsenal."
"Honor may not be able to find you right away, but your presence will greatly reduce the enemy's combat capability."
Kerrison always remembered what Clay said to them:
“Success does not have to be mine, success must be mine.”
Although the sentence structure of this sentence does not conform to the traditional common language of Westeros, it does not prevent Kristen from understanding its meaning.
This is the oath of their personal guard, which possesses special power. For a pure northerner, it is not easy to give up honor and do such a thing.
However, they all came here for Master Clay who gave them power.
…
The fire started burning, starting from the highest point of the main castle of Twin River City. Anyone who woke up saw this scene, and anyone with a little status in Twin River City would know it.
That's the lord's room!
At the same time, billowing black smoke emerged from various gaps in the warehouse, and the hot air that could burn the skin forced back the soldiers who wanted to open the warehouse to check the situation.
The ding-dang bells rang through the night sky of Twin River City, the actors were already in place, and the curtain finally opened.
The defenders stationed at the east gate of Twin River City also noticed the strange situation in the castle, but they did not dare to move rashly without an order. However, at this time, a stumbling Frey soldier with a smoky face yelled. Rushed to the city gate.
"Hurry! Sir Walder Frey is ordered to mobilize the city gate guards to put out the fire. Sir, the adults are all trapped in the tower!"
This shout completely broke the calm at the gate of Twin River City. The newly awakened city gate commander quickly ran to the panting Krisen.
As a young Frey of Stever lineage, he was appointed as the city gate guard and shouldered an extremely important responsibility. Therefore, he must confirm the authenticity of the order as soon as possible.
Looking at this family soldier with black marks all over his body and black gray on his face, Frey asked:
"what's the situation?"
Kristen trembled and answered in an extremely trembling voice:
"Sir...Sir, the family's main castle is on fire. The adults ordered me to come here to call for support."
After that, as if he remembered something, he took out Walder Frey's golden twin towers from his arms with trembling hands, which was the symbol of the family head.
Seeing this golden pagoda, Frey's eyes widened. He was in the Frey family, and he knew exactly what this thing meant. This thing was equivalent to the Frey family's military token!
It seems that the situation in the city is very bad, and it is urgent in every sense. Otherwise, why would a soldier bring this kind of thing over?
Without any time to think, Frey immediately mobilized four-fifths of the city gate's garrison, took out various utensils from the garrison camp, and without even having time to form a team, headed straight for the main castle.
In the chaos, he didn't notice when the soldier who conveyed the order disappeared. By the time he reacted, everything was irreversible...
Seeing the fire, the four personal guards and dozens of White Sea Guards who were hiding aside were eager to try without knowing each other's situation.
Master (Commander) succeeded!
Their hearts were filled with excitement and excitement, and the hands holding the weapons were completely clenched.
Sure enough, the Frey soldier who came to report took away four-fifths of the defenders at the city gate. Everyone realized that the opportunity had come!
When they were far away, the four demon hunter guards who were among the remaining defenders took the lead in attacking. They unsheathed their daggers and instantly slit the throats of the four defenders.
The corpse fell. Without hesitation, they drew out their long swords and killed the defenders on the city gate. Their target was clear, the handle that raised the gate!
Four people worked in pairs, killing enemies very efficiently. Under the sudden attack, the Frey soldiers who were all focused on the city did not react at all.
Seeing this scene, Anti Hewen knew that this was the young master's person. In an instant, the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head. He jumped out from the shadows and pointed his sword.
Behind him, dozens of well-trained members of the White Sea Guards rushed out of the shadows and pounced on the confused Frey defenders.
The sword blades intersected, and blood burst out from time to time. The two sides were already fighting together.
At this moment, Clay, who had changed his armor, rushed to the battlefield.
At this time, there was no need for him to hide himself anymore. One shot of Igni's Seal directly burned two Frey soldiers into burning men, and they rolled to the ground with crazy screams of pain.
Quen's seal flashed, and Clay blocked a bow and arrow flying towards him. The blade stirred and cut off half of the arm of Frey who was holding the sword in front of him.
Ignoring his wails and screams, the sword pierced his throat, and he pulled it out instantly, bringing with it dripping blood.
Clay's third fire was lit at the top of the Twin River City!
He was unstoppable on the battlefield. Following the gap he opened, the hastily organized defenses of Frey's army were penetrated. The White Sea Guards followed their commander and rushed towards the city gate.
On the city wall, the four demon hunters, with their superb cooperation, first killed the defenders and completely controlled the city gate. Raven cut off the disgusting twin tower flags with one sword.
Then, they began to fight along the steps of the lower city. They stood high and saw clearly that only by bringing friendly troops under the city gate could they completely control the city gate.
The four left two people to figure out how to open the door. The remaining two people's steel swords would take away the life of a Frey defender every three times they swung them in the night sky.
Finally, Clay led the White Sea Guards to break through the opponent's thin defense line and arrived at the city gate. He looked at the Frey flag that fell beside the wall. The Igni seal flickered, and suddenly the fire filled the air. A huge flag.
Clay lit this third fire on the top of the Twins City, stepping on the blood of countless Freys!
…
"Look, fire!"
Outside the city gate, at the Northern Legion camp, Robb Stark, who had been waiting for who knows how long, heard Jon Amber's loud voice with great surprise.
He suddenly raised his head, and sure enough, at some point, thick smoke was already billowing from the Twin River City, and the Frey banner on top of the city that seemed to have been mocking them had turned into blazing flames.
The faint cry of killing, carried by the wind, had blown into everyone's ears.
All the nobles looked at each other, it's time!
Under everyone's gaze, Robb Stark drew his sword, urged his horse, and charged towards the Twins.
Behind him, the direwolf flag fluttered in the night.
At the same time, the Mandalay family's cavalry on the right immediately activated. Their family heir was inside. If something went wrong, it would be a serious matter.
Just as they rushed forward, the two guards responsible for opening the door finally figured out how to open the door, and used the greatest strength in their lives to twist the handle.
There was a creaking sound, and the steel gate that blocked the northern army from advancing rumbled up.
Twin River City has been breached!
This is what everyone understood when the first Mandalay family cavalry rushed into the city gate brandishing a long sword and shouting a war cry.
Five thousand cavalry quickly rushed into the city in batches. Their goal was clear, to control the Frey family legion as soon as possible before they could react.
If they resist, the adults in the north will not hesitate to let these southerners know what winter is coming!
When Catelyn Tully entered the city under the escort of a group of bodyguards, the battle at the city gate was nearing its end.
The resistance of the Frey Gate defenders seemed so ridiculous under the impact of the northern cavalry.
The powerful kinetic energy of the charge cavalry broke the bones and tendons of all the Frey infantry who dared to block them. Their broken bodies were knocked away and fell heavily to the ground. With the medical level of this era, there was no need for rescue at all.
The Stark family's direwolf flag had already been raised on the east gate of the Twins City. At this time, the city gate defenders who went to put out the fire realized the problem.
After returning in a hurry, holding fire extinguishers, they faced the rushing northern cavalry. If they did not kneel down and surrender, death would be their only fate.
This is a disaster for the Frey family, but not for the Twins, because from this moment on, this city has changed its owner. Even if a surviving Frey can be found to inherit this place, it is nothing more than a creeping north. Just a dog at your feet.
The Frey family's resistance continued intermittently, but no matter how they struggled, when the sun shined on the city again.
Here, there will be only one voice, and all those who resist will have only one fate: death!
No sympathy, no pity, because...
This is war!
This chapter has been coded in one breath, and Twin River City has finally fallen. From now on, this place will become the solid rear area of the northern border. We can predict what will happen next, and wait until the little white whale comes to you all in detail tomorrow (hehe)...
