Chapter 1018: Retreat to the High Court

Popular recommendation:

And Bronn and the others were actually not alone on their way to escape.

Because the army of the Second Prince Yin Meng was scattered and not gathered in time after the defeat, they were all evacuating along the Rose Avenue towards the High Court.

You can even pick up a lot of discarded swords, armor and belongings along the way.

The eldest prince's army defeated the enemy in the Battle of Bitter Bridge, but they did not hunt down and kill them all.

Because, as the commander-in-chief of this army, Prince Oberyn was very calm, without any impulse, and pursued a battle to determine the outcome.

He knows that his opponent is not that simple. After all, there are no vacuous people under the reputation, and the two are actually old friends. They have known each other for a long time. They know each other very well.

Therefore, Oberon was worried that if he continued to pursue, he might make mistakes and even hit the opponent's ambush, so he stopped in time.

And the army of the first prince did not dare to pursue, which allowed most of the army of the second prince to escape smoothly, and they were defeated all the way in the direction of the high court.

…

"A set of first-class armor, mail, throat, greaves and full helmet, can be exchanged for eight hundred silver deer."

And a young man named Gage who followed Bolong took off a suit of armor from a dead body, and said happily.

Eight hundred silver deer is about four golden dragons, which is definitely a huge sum of money for his family.

But now on the road to escape, such 'money' can be seen almost everywhere. After all, there are not many other things on the battlefield, and there are many dead people.

"But your armor is broken, and it's still the armor of the Clinton family."

On the other side, sitting on a stone under the shade of a tree with a straw stick in his mouth, old Bronn, who was resting, glanced at the tattered armor, and said with a disdainful expression on his face.

"Armor of the Clinton family?"

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

And the young man named Gage held the armor he took off as a treasure, and then asked in a puzzled way.

"Are you stupid?"

The gray-haired Bronn threw the straw stick in his mouth onto the opponent's head, and said with a hatred that iron was not steel.

"How did you, a pariah, get the armor of the Clinton family?"

"Stealed? Robbed? Or picked up?"

"No matter what it is, it's all black goods of unknown origin, and those profiteers will definitely lower the price."

"And your armor has been damaged. It is estimated that it is not bad to exchange a hundred silver deer."

Bronn directly pierced the truth without mercy, which made Gage's face, who had never seen the sinister society, turn red and white.

He originally thought that the sky would be a windfall, but he didn't expect the wealth to shrink by eight times.

However, it was a pity to lose it, but it weighed dozens of pounds when I was holding it. Now I am on the road to escape, and I am hungry and have little energy, and my brain is dizzy.

But when Geji was tangled, there was a sudden noise in the place where the other collapsed troops were resting not far away.

Then a team of cavalry in fresh clothes and angry horses rushed over, led by a burly old man.

It turned out that a noble from the Stormlands finally returned with some troops to gather up the defeated army.

Seeing this, Bronn and the others, who were resting under the tree, also quickly stood up and joined the army.

Gage was still holding his suit of armor, unwilling to throw it away, and packed dozens of kilograms with strips of cloth torn from the corpse on his shoulders.

But Bronn just sneered twice when he saw this scene, and didn't say anything.

The noble who returned from the rear to gather the defeated army was the earl of the Harvest Hall, Astan Selmy.

The Selmy family is just a family of prosperous knights, and the uncle of Astan Selmy is the once famous 'Fearless' Barristan Selmy.

"Everyone, follow me!"

"Move!"

But now, this Earl of Selmi was riding on a high-headed horse, shouting majestically and loudly.

He ordered all the defeated troops here to line up and follow him back to Highgarden.

Then he distributed some dry food, which made many soldiers who were about to starve to death finally find a bite to eat.

Afterwards, although the defeated army was reluctantly stood in the queue, it was sparse, including soldiers and civilians, etc., but there were not many people in their 50s or 60s like Bolong.

Most of the civilian husbands of this age have died on the battlefield or been captured, and few escaped, and those who escaped would not escape with the defeated army.

...

a week later.

The Battle of the Bitter Bridge came to an end, and the second prince Yin Meng lost the battle without any surprise.

After all, in terms of comprehensive strength, although Yin Meng won the support of the Western Border, the Reach and the Storm.

But still no match for his brother Heros Targaryen.

After all, the prince regent now occupies the imperial capital and occupies the side of righteousness, while Yin Meng is like a rebel army, and the number of real soldiers under his hands is far from enough.

Therefore, after the Battle of Bitter Bridge, Bessie, as the army commander, was very decisive, the army retreated directly, gave up a large area of ​​flat and vast land that had no danger to defend, and retreated directly to his fief High Court.

The defeated army gathered by Astan Selmy also retreated to the High Court, where Bronn finally seized the opportunity he had always wanted and successfully met his general.

And fortunately, although the other party is also old, his memory is very good, and a simple chat reminds the other party of his name.

"Bron..."

"I feel very guilty for what happened to you."

Bessie felt deeply guilty after hearing what happened to Bronn. At first, he promised to knight Bronn and absolve him of his guilt, but after the Long Night War, there were too many things to do.

He thought that Bronn would be able to be knighted when he returned to Westeros~www.NovelMTL.com~, but he didn't expect that someone would greedy him for his credit and title.

"Are you the mercenary you used to be?"

After some chat, he learned what happened to this man. As the initiator of Bronn's unfortunate life, Tyrion was shocked.

He didn't expect to see the mercenary he hired to rob him again after thirty years.

When Bronn failed to rob the prisoner back then, James had already escaped, but unfortunately, James disappeared, and King's Landing closed the city up and down to search the ground.

This directly led to Bronn and others being severely wanted, desperate and forced to join the Golden Corps to avoid being wanted.

And Bronn once hated that dwarf very much, and swore that he would kill him if he found him, but as time passed, he gradually forgot, even Tyrion's appearance was forgotten, and he never thought that the other party was famous. The little devil, a member of the Imperial Council.

Now that everyone met at the beginning, at this moment there is only sigh.

Thirty years ago everyone was young, but now everyone has white hair on their heads.

"Your Highness, what do you think about this?"

Then Bessie pondered for a moment and looked at Yin Meng next to her.

After all, Bronn used to be a wanted criminal, who robbed a prison van, committed murder and other crimes, but thirty years have passed, and Bronn has also made a contribution.

"If it were my brother, he might chop your head off first, and then give you a village as a fief, even if you have no descendants or surnames."

"Because that's justice."

Yin Meng thought about it for a while, and then said.

"But luckily I'm not my brother."
