Chapter 0285: Night Attack

Amoriel divided his 400-odd men into four groups of 100 men each, and he himself led a team of 27 cavalry to set out first.

Amori originally wanted all the cavalry to attack at night, but he borrowed a hundred cavalry from the Magic Mountain, but the Magic Mountain categorically refused. Thinking that Soros and Berry were also mainly infantry, Amori dispatched all his soldiers and went west to pursue Soros and Berry.

After the Amorites set out, the Magic Mountain, which had promised to march west side by side, did not move, and ordered all the more than 300 cavalry to enter the camp set up by the Amorites to rest and sleep, and set off for the west tomorrow morning.

There are five leaders of the more than 300 cavalry in the Magic Mountain, they are the former royal courtier Sir Ge**, the champion of the Seven Kingdoms archery competition, Don Ange, the adopted daughter Julie Cregan, the former Prime Minister Eddard's captain of the guard, Erin, and the chief affairs officer who specially allowed him to come out this time to do meritorious work together.

Night. In a huge village next to a stream.

"Lord Soros, what are you looking at?" asked a former King's Landing garrison soldier curiously.

"There are many secrets in the flames, and if you are pious, you can get the revelation of the red god, and then see the future, the present, or the past in the flames. Soros said seriously.

The soldiers around the fire burst into laughter.

Soros stared at the flames, preoccupied.

Half of Soros's soldiers were from King's Landing's garrison, the royal armed forces known as the Golden Robes.

The red-robed monk Soros and Berry Don Delien are their leaders.

In King's Landing, as soon as the Magic Mountain leaves, King Joffrey no longer fears anyone, and Thoros and Berry are beheaded by him for the crime of bullying the king. The king's so-called crime of deception is that Thoros and Berry obeyed the orders of the great thief Eddard Stark, and led more than 100 people to the Riverland to investigate the case and arrest the Sir Amori Lodge in the West.

The royal ministers and courtiers were shocked, and if the king killed the Red Monk and Berry, it would chill all the knights and knights of the Red Keep. Both Thoros and Berry were loyal generals to the Robert dynasty, and if the king slaughtered Berry, the Black Harbor in the Crimson Mountains of Dorne would rebel.

Before the Demon Mountain left King's Landing, he told the Empress Dowager Cersei that in view of the current situation, it was not appropriate to kill more, and it was necessary to win the hearts of the courtiers more than the other way around.

Cersei listened to the advice of the Magic Mountain, and she did not approve of the king killing famous and powerful courtiers in this panic, and she persuaded Joffrey to let the Red Monk and Berry lead troops to the city to hunt down Robert Baratheon's bastard son in exchange for merit, and to show loyalty to King Joffrey through practical actions.

There are more than a dozen rumors of Robert Baratheon's illegitimate children in King's Landing, some of which are true and some of which are pure rumors, but it doesn't matter if the child is really an illegitimate child, what matters is to kill all the children on the list.

So, Joffrey ordered the red-robed monk Thoros and Count Berry of Black Harbor to kill all the illegitimate children left by the former king Robert in one day.

Instead of killing Robert's bastards in a single day, the red-robed monks Thoros and Berry Don Delien, who were ordered to bring their own family guards and a group of King's Landing garrison warriors, persuaded a group of garrison warriors to follow them out of King's Landing and enter the Riverlands to become a formidable bandit.

It's just that this bandit is different in that they never rob the common people, and they have great respect for the civilians wherever they pass, whether it is to eat, stay or feed the horses in the villagers' homes, Berry and Soros insist on paying, and they will never let the people of the Riverland suffer a little loss.

The news of Thoros and Berry's escape from King's Landing reached the palace at noon that day, and Joffrey was furious, and he immediately ordered the hounds to pursue Thoros and Berry, and make sure that the two traitors were brought back and hanged in public.

The Hound led the King's Landing garrison and the Red Robe Army of the West to chase after him day and night, he chased across the Blackwater River into the King's Road in the Royal Forest, and along the way, asking passers-by villagers and inns, Thoros and Berry evaporated like air, and the Hound chased wildly into the edge of the Tyrell family's territory, and failed to find half a clue about Thoros and Berry.

The hounds go south, and Berry goes north!

That's why Soros and Berry didn't go south and went home after disobeying, but went north to guerrilla, and if they went south, they would have been chased by the hounds.

No one would have thought that the Earl of Berry would go north, his home was under the Dorne Mountains in the south, and since he had left the palace, he would have to go south, but he had gone north.

The hound worked hard and returned in vain.

The Hound Dog's subordinate, Arraldim, an officer of the King's Landing garrison, was a former henchman of Genos Slint and was so fierce and brutal that the people of King's Landing feared him. When Joffrey became king, he was deeply loved by Joffrey.

The hounds went after Soros and Berry, and on the orders of King Araldim, he broke into Shataya's brothel and stabbed his sword in the chest of King Robert Baratheon's infant illegitimate daughter. Barra's mother tried desperately to stop her, but he also slashed her neck with a sword, almost severing the mother's neck, causing Sataya and her daughter to scream in horror. He stabbed the mother in the stomach a dozen more times, until the soldiers reminded Al that the woman had been killed by him, and he smiled and stopped.

According to the list of illegitimate children, Alardim slaughtered all the children and their mothers in one day, as well as anyone who dared to come and stop them. As a result, Arardim was granted the title of Barony by King Joffrey, and his position was higher than that of the Hounds, and many officers considered Arardim to be a better fit for the position of Commander of the King's Landing garrison than the Hounds.

Soros stared at the flames and suddenly said, "The Amorites will come after us tonight." ”

The brothers were drinking wheat wine brewed in the villagers' homes, and they were slightly drunk, and they all laughed at Soros's words. But Soros stood up with a very serious face and strode out to find Berry.

Berry was in another villager's house, Soros found Berry, Berry had drunk a little too much beer, drunk and hazy, Soros saw the night attack from the flames and was ridiculed by Berry and his brothers, no one believed Soros's words, he could see the enemy coming from the flames to attack at night, how is this possible?!

Everyone knows that Soros is a red-robed monk from Mill who believes in the Red God, but that was before. He hadn't preached for a long time, and he hadn't prayed sincerely, and Soros now believed in wine and women, and the golden dragon.

In desperation, Soros, with his bravery and prestige, took a group of brothers and fled to the woods to the west overnight, while Berry Dondelien and his squire, the knights of the family, and the free riders who had been following him, remained, but he strengthened his vigilance and sent more men on the road he had to pass.

The night attack of Amori Lodge was heart-wrenching, and he no longer rushed to the front. The fiasco of being ambushed by Berry and Soros during the day made him feel uneasy, and more importantly, he did not consider himself to be Soros's opponent, as for Berry, he thought that he could fight him, but he was not sure if he could win Berry. If he were to fight him in the dark, Amoriel would not be an opponent.

In order not to alarm the enemy, the army of the Amorites did not raise fire.

The summer nights in Riverlands are not cold, the moon and stars can also make the road visible, and for professional soldiers, they are specially trained to travel at night, so the night attack is not too much of a challenge.

Amori Lodge entered the village along the road, grabbed a few villagers to threaten and lure, and soon got the information that Berry and the others had passed, and after passing through the fourth village, they had been 100% sure of the direction in which Berry and the others had fled, so everyone became excited and tried to move forward under the cover of night.

An old woman in the village was awakened by the child's night crying, she lit a candle, and as soon as she got out of bed, she saw a man standing in front of her with a sword in his hand, and the old woman was completely stunned with fright, like a clay puppet.

"If the whole family wants to live, don't make a noise. The visitor shouted in a low voice, and the shuriken was pressed against the old woman's throat.

The old woman didn't dare to nod, for fear that the sharp long sword would pierce her neck, and her eyes were horrified.

"How many outsiders have come to the village tonight?"

This question is very skillful, and it is already set that an outsider will come to this village tonight.

“...... More than 20 people ......"

"All with weapons?"

This is the key to determining that these outsiders are Berry and others.

Since the Earl of Berry is a coward, he will not use his real name. Even with his real name, the countryman would not know who the Earl of Berry was.
