Chapter 263: negotiation
Under the setting sun.
The soldiers on the head of the Castle of Valor are cleaning the battlefield, throwing a corpse down the head of the city, including the corpses of their comrades-in-arms.
The space in the castles and camps was limited, and the corpses had nowhere to store them, or even burn them.
After all, this is just a semi-finished castle that has not been built, plus a semi-permanent camp.
Ten thousand soldiers of the First Army were stationed here, relying on the castle and the tall wooden walls of the barracks, which stocked supplies.
Therefore, the situation of the surrounded First Army is far more dangerous than Pantos, and they hardly have much geographic advantage to occupy.
The Dothraki people focused on attacking the camp area without the protection of city walls, which is equivalent to fighting the Dothraki people in a continuous see-saw offensive and defensive battle on the plain.
After a whole day of fighting, the Legion’s camp has been broken through several times, but in the end it was stubbornly resisted. Now it is clearing the battlefield and taking the time to repair the damage.
Inside the headquarters meeting hall of the Valiant Hold.
The commanders of the Kingdom’s First Legion gathered together, and Bessie Joyce, a civilian-born legion commander, was still in a uniform, wearing a metal mask, sitting in the most central position.
He also has a golden sword and shield medal on his chest.
On both sides of his seat, there are two dense rows of knights with bright armor. They are all commanders in the legion. They are wearing armor with the Targaryen three-headed fire dragon emblem. The chest is Seven-pointed star symbol representing the seven gods.
One of the commanders couldn't help but speak.
"Holding will not defeat the Dothraki, Commander-in-Chief."
"And your Majesty is now trapped in Pantos, and we can't even release the raven."
In the past few days, the ravens released from the Valiant Castle were shot and killed by the Dothrakis. Only one of them flew very sharply and escaped, but no news came back.
"Yes."
There are others who also followed the Tao.
"I have a proposal, Commander-in-Chief."
The other commander also stood up.
He proposed to go out of the city to fight and burn the Dothraki to death by following the kerosene tactics adopted by his Majesty that year.
Others came up with more diverse ideas, lengthening the front, forming a shield formation, and cavalry flanking, interspersed and cut the battlefield.
It can be seen that the grassroots commanders of the First Army are much stronger than Pantos's defenders, at least they have experienced regular army training, as well as the baptism of blood and fire.
However, Bessie, who sits in the first place, has been silent and has no words.
Since rushing into the sea of flames and being seriously injured that year, he has become much more taciturn.
After all the commanders had clarified their opinions, Bessie raised her head slightly and said in a hoarse and low voice.
"Everyone."
"Behind us is the Andas Plain, the home of our ancestors for generations."
He looked around all the faces on the left and right, and the voice came from under the metal mask.
"Prince Oberon's reinforcements will arrive soon."
"We will not keep on guarding."
"We must seize the time to solve the enemy in front of us, and then go to Pantos to relieve His Majesty."
The commander-in-chief's voice echoed in the conference room.
He has already decided that he will not stay in the Castle of Valor.
He understands that the Dothraki people surrounding the Valiant Hold are not their main force, and the opponent's main force must be besieging Pantos.
Although Bessie knew very well that the Dothraki people were trying to fight for help.
However, he once vowed to protect the safety of His Majesty the King, and to live up to Visiris's trust in him.
Therefore, Bessie first contracted the line of defense, put on a defensive posture, showed the enemy's weakness, and let the Dothraki relax their vigilance.
Next, when he was ready to catch the enemy's slack, he defeated the enemy in front of him in one go.
And all the basic-level commanders of the legion were shocked when they heard the words, knowing that the commander-in-chief had decided to go out of the city and fight the Dothraki who was several times his own.
However, instead of feeling fear, they were full of enthusiasm.
Then he stood up and hammered his chest with one hand.
"For the king!"
...
Storms are raging on the Essos continent.
All the free trade city-states have set their sights on the war that is breaking out on the Great Plains at this moment.
The ancient Valyrian Trail was even cut off as a result, severely affecting the trade route to Novos and Kohor.
You must know how many years the old business road of Pantos-Novos-Korhol has been maintained, and it has already become the economic lifeline of several inland cities.
And in the distant Westeros.
the end of the world.
After a two-month long journey, King Robert led the coalition of the great nobles of the seven countries, and arrived at Winterfell a long time ago.
Robert Baratheon and Ed Stark, a pair of unrelated brothers, finally meet again.
Then they rushed to the Great Wall together.
Because more and more savages have been hoarding there, the conflict between the freedmen and the night watch is also intensifying.
The night watchman unexpectedly sent a team of Rangers to annihilate a small tribe, killing all men, women and children.
However, a group of northern troops who also went out to clean up was ambushed by wild men.
The cruel Thurns even skinned and cramped the prisoners of the northern army, and sent them to the barbecue grill where they could be seen on the Great Wall of Immortal.
The two sides accumulated a deep hatred as soon as they came and went.
However, in this context of tension.
The king of the savage kingdom suddenly sent an emissary. They heard from the captives that the king of the south seemed to be here~www.NovelMTL.com~ so they sent an emissary to negotiate with the king of the south.
The messenger confirmed his identity and was inserted into the black castle, where he met Robert Baratheon, the king of the South who had just arrived at the Great Wall.
The messenger didn't say any nonsense, and directly stated that the white ghost's footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer. The real winter has not yet arrived, but it is not far away.
The messengers of the Savage Kingdom demanded that Robert must open the gates and let free people outside the Great Wall pass through the Great Wall, otherwise their people would die.
And the messenger of Mans Reid also said that they had found the legendary ‘Horn of Winter’ on Ancestor’s Fist Peak.
Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, the king of beyond the Great Wall, Qiao Man, once blew the "Horn of Winter" to awaken the sleeping giants under the ground, and the sound of the "Horn of Winter" would also cause the Great Wall to collapse.
If the kings of the Seven Kingdoms are not prepared to let hundreds of thousands of free people go through the Great Wall to survive in the warm south.
Then Mans Reid is ready to blow this artifact to make the Great Wall of Desolation collapse, and to burn the Seven Kingdoms and hundreds of thousands of free citizens.
