Game of Thrones: I loaded the Witcher system - Chapter 379

c370 Four crowns fell to the ground, surrounded by a large circle

The door to Storm’s End, which had been closed for several months, was finally slowly opened.

After slaying all the resistance at Storm’s End, a group of Stormland nobles headed by Lord Gurian Swann left the city with Renly’s head.

Together with their troops who had just finished fighting and whose blood had not yet dried on their swords, they asked to join Clay Manderly’s camp. Their sincerity was what Renly’s head could not believe until his death.

What they did was extraordinary, just like what Tywin Lannister did to the Targaryen royal family after the fall of the Red Keep.

Killed all the Baratheon blood in Storm’s End, leaving no one behind.

Since then, the Baratheon family, which has been entrenched in Storm’s End for three hundred years, has been almost wiped out. The three or two kittens living outside are not the main family.

The crowned stag flag fell into the dust, stained with the smell of blood.

Regarding this variable, even Oberon Martell, who had seen strong winds and waves, was speechless. He really couldn’t believe his eyes.

No matter what Renly said, he was the one who persisted until the end among the kings who raised an army.

Now, it ends with death from betrayal, which is really unimaginable.

Four years ago, Robert died deep in the Red Keep.

after. His “son” Joffrey Baratheon ascended the throne and declared himself King of the Seven Kingdoms.

However, his two uncles who did not agree with his identity raised the flag of rebellion on Dragonstone and Storm’s End, calling themselves kings.

Later, due to the stupidity of Cersei and Joffrey, Eddard Stark died in Winterfell, which allowed the Stark family, which had never wanted to get involved too much with the political situation in the south, to pick up three hundred years of The former king’s name.

Since then, there have been four kings in Westeros, and they have always fought against each other.

With war, on and on, war.

Robb Stark, who was relatively weak, was attacked by the Valemen and finally died in Tywin Lannister’s siege of Harrenhal.

Next, there is Joffrey Baratheon.

The child king was captured by Clay Manderly’s army who came to the rescue and disappeared from the stage of the entire Seven Kingdoms.

So far, he is still alive, in the sense of life.

But in a political sense, even his “master” Tywin Lannister has given up on him, so the crown has been lost.

Over the next more than a year, the Baratheon brothers Stannis and Renly, together with the Tyrell family who came to join in the fun, launched an offensive and defensive battle around the capital of King’s Landing. .

In the end, neither brother could hold on to the throne.

Stannis’s main force was thrown into the great battle of Shipbreaker Bay, and his own head was cut off by the Earl of Harvest Hall.

Now, the last king Renly has also died in the betrayal of his men for a better life.

The body of the noble king was cut into a sieve by all kinds of daggers.

When his head was finally chopped off, not much blood came out.

Because his blood had been drained from the large and small wounds on his body before.

With his death, there are now only two forces left in the Seven Kingdoms. Strictly speaking, there are four forces.

The North, with the upper hand, now sits on the Iron Throne, commanding all the might of the Northern Vales, the Riverlands, and the North with King Clay Manderly.

Southern Dorne is considered a subordinate force of Clay Manderly, and the Martell family currently occupies Dorne and most of the Stormlands.

As well as withdrawing from the crown, now controlling the islands in Blackwater Bay, behind is Aegon Targaryen’s forces supported by a series of Westerosi exiles and careerists in Essos.

Finally, there are the Western Alliance forces in the River Bend that support Aegon Targaryen on the surface but actually do not help him at all.

It seems to be two against two, but in fact, it is most appropriate to think of it as two groups against one against one.

“Let’s go into the city and see what kind of Storm’s End these traitors have left us.”

Oberyn Martell raised the riding crop in his hand and pointed at Storm’s End, which stood quietly in the distance.

“But… Your Majesty, the noble army there has no intention of laying down their weapons… Isn’t it a bit dangerous for you to go in like this?”

A Dornish noble who knew the situation there said something.

“Oh? The city gates have been opened. What do you mean by not laying down your weapons and surrendering? Are the Stormlanders’ swords rusty on their palms?”

Prince Oberon Martell was a little confused. What was the practical significance of doing such a thing at this time?

After working on it for a long time, the Prince of Dorne finally understood the plans of the people inside.

“They want us to spit out their occupied castle and return it to them. Are they going to go home with an army?”

Oberon felt that he had received enough surprises today. However, this incident once again refreshed his understanding of the shamelessness of these Stormland nobles.

Didn’t they understand that after surrendering, their status was that of prisoners, and prisoners were not qualified to negotiate conditions.

Although those territories will eventually have to be consulted by Clay Manderly, in their hearts, Oberon Martell and Sunspear have already regarded them as their own.

It took a lot of effort, blood and sweat to defeat him, but now he is asked to hand it over, just ask, why?

To say that these nobles are the victors, there is nothing to say. The winner is the king, no matter what.

But the problem is, no matter how you look at it now, your side has the absolute advantage. Just relying on Renly’s head is like getting the qualification to join the gang and take a big bite from your side.

Oberon Martell didn’t think he looked like a fool.

So, he mentally rejected the deal.

But on his face, after thinking for a while, he said this:

“Go tell those people and say, Prince, that I agree to their request. For this, I can swear to the old and new gods, but in exchange, they must put down their weapons, otherwise I cannot trust them.”

To swear an oath to the old and new gods is a very solemn statement in the discourse system of Westeros.

Oberon’s intention was brought into Storm’s End, however, he encountered obstacles.

“Not enough, the Prince of Dorne is not sincere enough!”

Gulian Siwen shouted.

For them, the army is the foundation of their lives. It is better to believe that the sun will rise from the setting sun than to swear by the old and new gods and believe in the red viper.

“He must get out of the way, and then use the raven to declare to the entire Seven Kingdoms that we are welcome to join, and declare that he will never attack us.”

This is the latest condition.

However, Oberyn Martell’s reaction was interesting.

“Yes, adults are thinking correctly.”

“I will do as you say. The siege army will evacuate. You can take your army out of the city and go to the south to receive your castle. When you leave, you will see the ravens I released. How about this? ”

Prince Dorne’s face was filled with an enthusiastic smile.

“Your Majesty the Prince!”

A nobleman behind said dissatisfiedly.

However, he received a very fierce warning look from Oberon.

After the messenger left, Oberon slowly said:

“Order our troops to evacuate Storm’s End Castle. Remember, out of the 20,000 people, 12,000 will be withdrawn to the plains to show off to the traitors. The remaining people… you know what to do.”

They are all veterans on the battlefield, and even though they are talking about it, they still don’t understand what the red viper means.

This is to wait until the troops of these stormland nobles leave the castle in one breath, and then deal with them in the field!

That’s right, no matter how indifferent Oberon Martell is to honor, he will not like some guys who seek honor from their Lord. What’s more, these guys are clearly in crisis, but they still ask for high prices and refuse to repent.

Then, they have a way to die.

…

“Where is the striker?”

Sitting on his horse, Kevan Lannister, although a bit old but still upright, looks majestic in a golden-red lion armor.

He asked Garlan Tyrell next to him where his army was now.

After deciding to attack the Dornish people, the 120,000-strong army immediately dispersed.

Split up and move toward the Stormlands border.

First, the 120,000 people seemed bloated and would definitely slow down the marching speed.

Secondly, this is the largest army since the army was launched. The target is really too big, and it will attract enough attention if you are not careful.

The purpose of this snake-catching operation is to kill the main force of the Dornish people in the storm land in the early stage.

In order to prevent them from crossing the sea and escaping, the Redwin fleet has already unloaded anchor and set out to sea. At this time, it should have crossed the Dorne Sea and moved near the broken ship, ready to attack the fleet that might be able to meet Oberon at any time.

This is the strongest attack in the Reach and the West, so be sure to get results.

Otherwise, they will struggle, which will directly affect their next plans.

The 120,000-strong army is divided into three groups. The first group, consisting of 20,000 people, rushes directly toward the southeast. They must control Blackport City, the rear of the Dornish army’s food route.

After taking Blackport City, block the Dornish reinforcements coming from Prince’s Pass, and if necessary, block the remnants of Oberon’s legions who are unable to escape.

The second group, with 40,000 people, rushed towards Fort Felwood, giving Oberon enough pressure from the front.

Try to capture this castle, but you must wait until the third army is in place before you can act.

The third group, also composed of 40,000 people, went north to the Hay Hall area of ​​Coppergate City. While taking over the castle here, they built a defense line on the spot to guard against Clay Manderly’s army, and went south from King’s Landing along the King’s Road to rescue.

In the end, there were 20,000 people along the way, serving as the general reserve force, following the rear of the third legion. If there was a problem, they would rush to support as soon as possible.

In this battle, the two families spent a lot of money, and they must kill 20,000 Oberon Martell in one go, so that the entire Westeros will know how powerful they are!

“We are approaching Fort Felwood and are waiting for our orders.”

Garlan Tyrell answers Kevan Lannister’s question.

“map.”

Kevan Lannister shouted to the squire beside him.

The obedient attendant quickly pulled out a carefully guarded sheepskin map from the side of the packhorse.

This is a rough drawing of the castles, mountains, forests and rivers in the Stormland. Although it may not be very accurate, it does not affect the commander’s ability to issue orders based on it.

“We’re here now.”

Kevan Lannister’s thick finger pointed at a point outside the west side of Felwood Castle.

“Our Northern Route Army has captured Tongmen City and Hay Hall, and is now besieging Harvest Hall, which refuses to surrender.”

In fact, it stands to reason that Harvest Hall and them are on the same side, and they are all loyal to Aegon Targaryen.

But with the news of Little Aegon’s failure in King’s Landing, Lannister and Tyrell were no longer willing to be cannon fodder for Little Aegon.

No one’s army is raised in vain.

Therefore, if Harvest Hall is ignorant of current affairs at this time, don’t blame Lannister and Tyrell for being ruthless.

Fortunately, Renly and these people are not in the same group, otherwise the risk of exposing the secret would be very high.

At this time, Oberyn Martell, who was preparing to attack the nobles in Storm’s End, didn’t know that he had fallen into a huge encirclement.

The roaring lion entangled with thorns and roses has placed its fangs on their throats, waiting to bite them.

“What’s the situation in Blackport City? There’s a strong backbone there, and if there’s a fight there, there’s a risk that our plans will be exposed.”

Kevan Lannister asked worriedly.

“We can only hope that Oberon does not leave enough troops there, otherwise, if it takes too long, our encirclement will leave a pretty big hole.”

The journey to Blackport City was actually the most risky step in the plan.

Although there are more than 20,000 troops, the walls of Blackport City are so high and thick that it is normal for them to be unable to break down for a while. Otherwise, why would this place be a fortress that blocked the Dornish army from moving north several times?

…

Black Harbor City

“Damn it, why did 20,000 people come to beat us?”

Lord Beric, who led the remnant army of the Dondarrion family and broke out from Blackport City, wiped the blood from his face and cursed loudly.

He was the only one in Blackport City, with hundreds of Dondarrion family defenders defending here.

The only ones left were some Dornish food transport troops, which had no combat effectiveness at all.

As a result, facing an attack of 20,000 people, there was no way to fight.

Blackport City defended for five days. The defenders caused thousands of casualties to their opponents, but they also suffered more than half of their own casualties.

If this continues, Darkport City will definitely not be able to hold its own, and the Dondarrion family will be at risk of overthrowing.

Therefore, Earl Berry decided to break out.

In fact, he did it.

The target of the attacking army seems to be only Blackport City itself, and they have no idea whether the defenders are escaping or not.

In this way, Blackport City fell, and the opening to the southern front was blocked by the offensive organized by Kevan Lannister.

Now, Oberon Martell’s 20,000-strong army has been effectively blocked in the Stormlands.

Twenty thousand people versus 120,000 people, they can no longer say that I have the advantage.

In the following week, Kevan Lannister ordered the center army to attack Fort Felwood directly towards the sparse defenders.

Because before, the battles between the entire Stormlands were concentrated in the east.

As a result, the West is left in a state of utter emptiness.

Several armies marched straight in and once again began to ravage the Stormlands.

Wait until Felwood. News of the fall of Darkport City reached Prince Oberon Martell, who had just massacred the remaining troops of Storm’s End and hanged all those greedy guys who sought glory from their Lord. Only then did he realize that he had been Someone made dumplings.

So, on the one hand, he contacted Sunspear City and asked his brother to arrange a boat to Stonehelm City to pick them up.

He himself also left Storm’s End Castle with his troops and moved closer to the south.

If you don’t leave, you will be surrounded!
