Chapter 78 Attacked

"How is it, how do you feel?" They gathered around the fire, and Cole asked the fat boy Duran.

The hundred cavalrymen were too conspicuous, so when they dispersed, they would be divided into five teams.

Hidden in the mountains and forests, there was a brother on the treetops who was on guard. He drank hot wine on one side and paid attention to the surrounding movements on the other side.

They passed the wine bag in turn. Now the enemy was alert and sent a large number of scouts and patrol cavalry in the royal forest, and their activities became very difficult.

Duran followed Cole's team to charge, and there were several family ministers following him. He also felt the experience of going to the battlefield.

The fat boy looked slightly bitter. Although he had prepared himself mentally, the pain and fatigue of the war were beyond his expectations.

They rushed to kill the enemy and were also chased by the enemy.

"When will this battle end, Cole."

After a few days of getting along, the two were no longer alienated and began to call each other by their names. Duran was indeed simple, but he did not have the arrogance and prejudice of the nobles, which was why Cole was willing to be friends with him.

"I don't know." Cole shook his head. "But it should be soon."

He murmured, and seemed not to have much confidence in this, because he clearly remembered that the battle did not last long. Stannis attacked Storm's End, and then Renly led the army to fight him. The two agreed to start the battle at dawn, and then Renly was killed by the shadow assassin before dawn, and the war ended.

The wine was just passed to him, and he didn't care about whether it was hygienic or not. Cole drank a sip and handed it to Duran.

Duran also drank a sip. "Do you think we can win?"

He asked, and everyone looked over. Cole had long been their backbone. His wisdom and bravery were witnessed by everyone.

"Well, we will win, we will definitely win." Cole gave them such an affirmative answer. No matter what the end is, he can't show a tendency to lose now, although he is also very tired.

He didn't expect the situation to develop like this.

War is sometimes like playing chess. Cole was born with several chessboards that have never been seen before, which gave him an advantage. To outsiders, it seems like a flash of wisdom. This is his advantage, but soon the advantage will disappear. The commander of each side is the chess player. They can dominate the trend of the battlefield at every step. All they need to do is put the right chess piece in the right position.

Each chess piece is also a chess player, just like Cole and Mace Tyrell. Perhaps neither of them has a natural talent in military affairs. More than a decade ago, Mace led people to besiege Storm's End, which showed that his vision was too shallow. He only had a small piece of land in the southern border. If he did not fight Storm's End to death but led people to the north, or brought people to King's Landing, the final victory would be unknown.

He besieged for a year, thus missing countless opportunities.

There are too many possibilities in war, and the winner is often the one with both luck and strength.

Cole was not a chess player who looked ahead three steps. He did not even think that Mace would transport the materials in a centralized manner. He just wanted to make some things first to make their task easier.

The opportunity of war was really fleeting. If it were not for the observation of the white dragon, Cole would have sent all the materials to the bottom of the Wind's End Castle. The situation of the war would have changed, and his mission would have been considered a failure.

No one could have thought that Mace would go all-in before Cole turned the cards.

This was also luck. He controlled the opportunity and set up an ambush. He even used the advantage of the white dragon to make Mace run around.

In front of the campfire, everyone did not know what he was thinking. For them, they just had to listen to Cole. Once upon a time, Cole was the same. He only needed to be an executor. He completed the task and saved himself, and then he could get fame and fortune.

Suddenly, there was a swish on the treetops, and the sentry shouted, "Someone is coming."

They quickly untied the ropes and mounted the horses, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

Everyone was still wondering whether the person coming was a friend or foe, but Bai Long took the lead and flew to see. The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight was hidden and hidden under the dense clouds. If someone with impaired vision walked on the night road, he would be blind. Even Cole and his team could not rush through the forest at such a night.

Bai Long hid in the sky. He flew high and looked like an eagle on the ground. Although his body might be slightly larger than that of a falcon, he was just a small dot in the sky.

No one would suspect that it was the enemy's eyes, although there were some aliens in this world who could let animals serve as their eyes.

Bai Long did not dare to fly low, but the clouds and shade of the trees were thick, and he could not see the situation on the ground for a while. He only saw a few lights flashing. Bai Long opened the Eye of Time and looked carefully. He saw a group of cavalry walking slowly. There were more than a dozen people, all wearing armor, and one of them was holding a lance with a flag.

They seemed to be attracted by the firelight, and soon the two sides met. Cole shouted and took the lead in charging.

The two sides had similar numbers, but Cole had a slight advantage. They turned around and ran away, not fighting with Cole and his group at all.

Cole caught the first person, holding his sword straight. That person had the thickest armor, needless to say, he must be the leader of this team.

With a clang, Cole's long sword was blocked, and two lances came straight to the left and right. They were the two guards beside the enemy leader.

Cole followed the lance, and his chainmail could not resist the lance. In the eyes of time, he dodged sideways and shot again with the guard behind his wrist. One shot missed, and one shot moved sideways.

The three enemies did not rush forward, retracted their lances and swords, and quickly pulled away, retreating in the direction they came from.

Cole looked around and saw that his own people had already chased into the forest. He suddenly felt something was wrong, but he also spurred his spurs and followed closely.

Someone was knocked to the ground by a branch in front of him. Cole saw that he didn't recognize him and stabbed him.

Before Cole could catch up, the horses' hooves suddenly moved around.

Cole was shocked. Oh no, he had fallen into a trap. This method was very familiar to him. He said that it was impossible for that team to run away when they saw someone. Obviously, they were well-armored and the number of people was not much different.

He quickly approached the team. The cavalry came from all sides. Cole hurriedly ordered a breakout. The white dragon folded its wings and pitched down, passing through the clouds, and opened the Eye of Time to freeze the space.

He saw the enemy and quickly looked for a place to break through.

Cole shouted for them to follow, and he took the lead to ride to the east.

There were more than a hundred enemy soldiers, but there were only a dozen in this direction, which was the weakest.

He turned his head to avoid the arrows, and at this moment, he saw Duran. His armor was the most eye-catching in the team. Considering his lack of experience, Cole let him wear his thick armor.

This conspicuous armor obviously became the focus of the enemy's fire. Under the Eye of Time and Space, Cole saw that several arrows were shot at him, but most of them deviated, but one was flying towards the horse under his crotch.

As luck would have it, the arrow hit the horse's eye. With a neigh, the horse, which was running wildly, threw its head back and fell to the ground. The fat little Duran flew in the air for a while and fell heavily to the ground.
