Chapter 346 One step too late, attacked from both sides

Clay had ordered his cavalry to speed up as much as possible.

The half-day journey was compressed into half a day.

Any faster and the horse will collapse from exhaustion.

But even so, when the Great Wall is already in sight.

Clay, who was riding on the war horse with his body bumping up and down, let out a long sigh.

The Great Wall node is still finished.

Right before his eyes.

He is quite keen on magic.

Just now, the old god's power, which was originally so thin that it seemed like it was nonexistent, finally dissipated into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, cold magic with a strong flavor of wild hunting came here instantly.

If this is a coloring game, look at it from God's perspective.

The land that was originally marked with gray is now painted with the colors of the wild hunt.

The Three-Eyed Raven is definitely going to knock the tables in Winterfell.

Clay knows.

Now that it has been lost, he is not in a hurry.

"Pass my order, slow down slightly, recover your strength, and send out the sentinel riders to be alert to the movements near Castle Black."

Although the wind and snow were still there, the Night Watch Castle built at the foot of the Great Wall could still be seen clearly.

There was no smoke rising.

Apparently, the night watchers had completed their evacuation.

The Wild Hunt is there, Clay can feel it.

The army slowly approached.

But no matter what, the whereabouts of a thousand people cannot be hidden in the vast white snowfield.

When they got close enough to the Great Wall, they were finally discovered by the Wild Hunting army.

The Wild Hunt sees them, and Clay senses his opponent.

"Blow the trumpet and order the entire army to form an offensive formation. No matter the casualties, we must hold them back until the infantry arrives."

Clay said to the flag officer beside him.

His orders were quickly carried out.

The desolate trumpet sound sounded, and a thousand cavalry were sent. Although the enemy did not know it clearly, the king had given the order.

So, they formed a formation in the direction pointed by the battle flag.

The horse's hooves began to move.

And their opponents, the Wild Hunting Army who had just finished cutting down trees, immediately realized that they had been stolen.

"Fight them and send the hounds to stop them!"

Ilereth shouted to Caranthir.

The only person here who can open the portal the fastest and release enough hounds is this guy with part of the ancient blood.

"I know, you don't need to say more!"

Caranthil's tone was a little impatient.

But the injured movement is indeed not slow at all.

After they complete the erosion of this area, the teleportation magic can be used immediately.

"Do your job as soon as possible. Eredin is in the castle with the main force, and we have no support."

Ilerius said.

This time, Caranthir did not refute.

Because this is indeed true.

Magic power surged in the open space next to the torn apart weirwood remains.

A bright blue spherical light gate appeared out of thin air.

White snowflakes blew out from inside, accompanied by the low roar of the hound.

These guys were summoned to this world by Caranthir.

…

As he got closer, the magic power in Clay's body was beating crazily.

He could sense that there were strong magic fluctuations in front of him.

Obviously, the navigators of the Wild Hunt are "tidying up" themselves again.

It just so happens that things that are not difficult become boring.

Clay also wants to try, in this world.

What would it be like when a witcher faced off against the wild hunt?

…

White Harbor.

Melisandre is preparing to leave the North and return to Essos.

She must go to the Red Temple to get more support from the Lord of Light.

The situation in Westeros is not optimistic.

Once Clay Mandler fails to control the situation, even more places in the north will fall into the hands of the Cold God.

In that case, the situation will really fall apart.

As a priest of the Red God, it is her duty to enforce R'hllor's will.

However, when she was about to leave White Harbor by boat, she met someone she didn't expect.

Thoros from Myr.

Theoretically her colleagues.

She didn't expect that this guy would make a special trip to White Harbor to see her.

"What's up?"

Melisandre asked bluntly.

There is rarely any nastiness among them, the agents of the King of Light.

It's not because everyone has high moral character.

It's because for hundreds of years or more, everyone knows each other's ins and outs.

There really is nothing to hide.

No one has any other interest in each other.

"Melisandre, things don't look good in the north."

"I have found an interesting person here. I hope you will allow me to take her to the north to meet His Majesty Clay Manderly. After all, that is where you are responsible."

These servants of R'hllor have a clear division of labor among themselves.

Staring at Thoros with some suspicion, Melisandre wasn't quite sure what this guy's purpose was.

But she knew that everyone was working for the King of Light, so there was no conflict of interest.

She was in a hurry to go to Essos to find help, and had no time to think about this matter carefully.

So she nodded:

"Yes, as long as it is for the flame of my lord, which can light up the cold nights in the north, anything is fine."

After saying that, she left and headed straight to the dock.

Watching her leave, a slender figure, hidden nearby, came to Soros' side.

"She agreed?"

Soros did not turn around to look at the girl beside him.

In his eyes, the strange magic power in this girl's body was like a burning fire ball, extremely dazzling.

"Melisandre didn't see you, so she would agree, and we have no conflict."

Soros touched his beard and raised a smile on his lips.

"Let's go to Winterfell. The person you want to see should be there."

…

Two generals of the Wild Hunt, Ilereth and Caranthir.

At this time, he no longer looked as arrogant as before.

Standing in the hall of Castle Black they had just acquired, looking at the King of the Wild Hunt, Eredin, with his hands behind his back, he couldn't say a word.

The great Wild Hunt army actually suffered a tragic defeat under the attack of the indigenous army.

This is difficult for them to accept no matter what.

In the past, when they attacked Skagos Island, they thought that this world would be easy to conquer.

Wait until they attack Kaho City.

Take a closer look at the level of civilization of the indigenous people here.

But I think these people are dull in fighting and have poor combat vigilance.

The strong fortress was easily captured by them.

Everyone in Kuang Lei’s army didn’t take it too seriously.

However, from the last attack in Hearth City, they did not receive the perfect results as before.

In the end, many people in Hearth City escaped.

Moreover, the resistance there also caused them considerable trouble.

Since then, the Wild Hunt army has never fought a successful battle.

Especially the two battles at the Black Castle node.

It really made them completely let go of their mentality of despising these natives.

They originally thought that those guys in black clothes were already the pinnacle of force in this world.

However, the battle they just experienced made them know that there are still ruthless people.

Hundreds of hounds, originally used to deal with the cavalry, only had to let the smell of sulfur on their bodies be smelled by the horses.

The horses will panic and the cavalry will be in chaos.

This is how the Wild Hunts dealt with large groups of cavalry in the past.

However, this time, when the battle took place, there was a strong east wind.

This made all their plans go bankrupt.

The war horses galloped closer, and the scent of the hounds was blown away by the wind, making it impossible to disturb them.

Then, the horse's hooves and the sharp sword had already harvested the hound's life.

These northern cavalry, led by Clay, surpassed these guys and killed them.

A thousand cavalrymen used more and less to defeat the few hundred wild hunting dogs at extremely fast speeds, leaving more than half of them on the snow.

The rest, along with their masters, fled into the opened portal in embarrassment.

The Northern Cavalry saw those light gates, but out of caution, they did not pursue them.

Who knows what is over there, if you directly appear in the lair of these things, you really won't be able to come back.

Now, no one has the guts.

During the battle, in order to prevent his horse from losing its stride, Clay kept applying the Yakxi Sign to his horse.

This thing allows the war horse to not be disturbed by the outside world and remain quite rational.

Now it looks like the effect is pretty good.

After driving away these Wild Hunting troops, there was no excitement on Clay's face.

No matter how fast they attack, they can't compare to the escape speed of these guys.

A total of about ten guys in armor were killed, and the rest were all worthless hunting dogs.

Jon Amber was very excited.

He ordered his men to strip off the armor of a Wild Hunt soldier who died in battle.

As a result, an ugly face appeared in front of him.

"Look, Your Majesty, there are either ghosts or gods here, they are people!"

Jon Amber's tone was a little excited.

Clay smiled and did not answer this sentence.

If we look at the humanoid form with four limbs and a head, this thing can certainly be called a human.

Clay didn't want to explain to the Earl of the Last Hearth what an elf was and what a human was.

It's not necessary, he thinks it's okay.

Anyway, the elf's slow ears will be discovered by them sooner or later.

How you view these guys at that time is not your problem.

Right now, the Black Castle node has been destroyed.

The top priority is to quickly recapture Castle Black.

There is a direct connection to the Great Wall of Despair.

"Lord Amber, our war is not over yet. Take your soldiers, we need to continue setting off."

Clay said to the Earl of the North who looked very happy.

He understood Jon Umber's mood.

After all, he had been holding fire in his heart since he lost his family fort.

In this battle to the north, we finally achieved something.

He knows that his opponent also has two shoulders and one head.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Although there are some abilities that he doesn't understand, Jon Amber feels that he has found a way to restrain them, so this is not a problem.

After hearing Clay's words, he immediately said:

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll get ready right now."

…

Storm's End Castle is now in a bit of chaos.

This may be the biggest crisis facing the entire Stormlands since the defeat at the Battle of King's Landing.

Attacked from two sides, attacked from both sides.

The army led by Oberon Martell had already invaded the Summer Hall, which had basically no power.

As the summer residence of the Targaryen dynasty, it was not rebuilt much after it was burned down.

The Dornishmen took possession without any trouble.

If Daenerys Targaryen was in the army, she would inevitably have to mourn her family's decline.

But for the Prince of Dorne, he lost interest after just one glance.

After the army stopped for a while, it immediately continued to advance eastward.

The troops pointed directly at the two western gates of Storm's End, Falcon's Nest and Felwood.

The Prince of Dorne is also familiar with the terrain of the Stormlands.

Conquering either of these two castles is equivalent to establishing a road leading directly to the Citadel of Breathing.

From now on, there are no worries.

You can attack the city with confidence.

This is the situation on the west side.

And to the east, Aegon Targaryen's fleet was as promised.

At this juncture, he also bared his fangs at Renly Baratheon.

The fleet landed from the Eagle's Nest south of Storm's End with five thousand soldiers of the Golden Company.

Caught Renly Baratheon off guard.

Although the Eagle's Nest Castle was not captured immediately.

But it also surrounded the castle.

Because the main armies from all over the country are now concentrated at Storm's End.

As a result, Eagle's Nest was empty, guarded only by the Guard.

Fall can only happen overnight.

At this moment, Storm's End Castle was really in trouble as to how to use the 20,000 troops at hand.

The stormland nobles were in a quarrel over this.

The northern faction, headed by Heywood Fell, Earl of Fort Felwood, advocated that the 20,000 troops be stationed separately.

Six thousand were left to guard Storm's End, and the remaining 7,000 were at Felwood and Falcon's Nest, which were under siege.

However, this plan was strongly opposed by Renly Baratheon and Lord Roland Clinton of Falcon's Nest.

What Renly thought was that he had the army in his hands.

Oberon's army appeared there, and he sent another army to set up defenses in advance.

Ser Roland Clinton believes that Eagle's Nest, the southern gateway to Storm's End, is now under attack.

Just in case it falls into the hands of that Aegon Targaryen.

Who knows if he is with the Dornishmen loyal to Daenerys Targaryen.

After all, they are both Targaryens, and they definitely have the same intention of killing Baratheon if they decide whether to fight each other in the future.

While they had just landed, they were unfamiliar with the place.

Unable to gain a firm foothold, the army was dispatched.

Hit them with all your strength and drive them into the sea.

Otherwise, give these guys a leg up.

Later, who knows how many landing troops Aegon Targaryen has will continue to land through this opening?

If this happens accidentally, and ten or twenty thousand people come forward, Stormland's twenty thousand army will not be able to control the situation.

It seems reasonable.

But the problem is that there are also complicated internal reasons in the storm land.

The ruling family of Eagle's Nest is the Clintons.

Now there is only one knighthood.

But before the Usurper's War broke out, the head of the Clinton family, Earl of Eagle's Nest, Jon Clinton, was the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms.

The Clinton family is also a great noble with a vast fiefdom in the entire Stormlands.

This was later when Robert defeated Jon Connington in the "Battle of the Bells", and then successfully ascended the throne and became king.

Not that it did anything to the Clinton family.

But with his benefit, the Clinton family turf was dismembered.

The title was also reduced from earl to knight.

The wealthy and powerful family suddenly became in dire straits, guarding the huge castle with a precarious life.

Therefore, this time Roland Clinton asked him to lead the army to rescue the Eagle's Nest Castle and eliminate the trouble for the Stormlands.

Renly knew it was right.

But I kept hesitating in my heart.

He knew the Clintons were less loyal to Baratheon.

If they win this battle, the position of Earl of Eagle's Nest Castle should be returned to them.

At that time, a big problem will arise.

You know, Eagle's Nest and Storm's End are only a day's journey away.
