Chapter 79, Giant

The night sky is sparsely starry on the moon.

Burning tents lit up the camp in front of Haijiang City, but there was not much light, and there was a river of blood and corpses in the shadows.

Outside the burning camp, the Emperor listened to Ed, Francis, Barristan and others report on the loss of troops and the capture of the enemy.

Rescue Edmure Tully from Havard and let the Northess warriors and soldiers lead the way and capture the two Frey captives.

Arthur returned with Anne and Selena first.

He came with a dirty, smelly man and said, "Duke Edmure is back." ”

Ed glanced at his brother-in-law and asked, "Are you okay?"

Edmure nodded, "It's okay." ”

Robert shook his head with some disgust and said, "Then you go to Haijiang City to take a bath first, and then return to Riverrun City as soon as possible, and learn how to be a warrior from your uncle Blackfish." ”

Edmure nodded silently, then turned and walked towards the city gate, his back very lonely.

Francis: "Alright, let's join forces to attack before those Frey soldiers have returned to Twin River City, and don't give them time to react." ”

Soldiers, you are fast!

With this smooth battle, the soldiers were quickly mobilized.

More than 8,000 people marched eastward with torches.

Night March.

It was not an easy task in such antiquity.

There is no problem in rushing to the city of Twin Rivers in one night, but it would be bad if the tired army had soldiers and horses from the Frey family to attack.

Therefore, the fastest speed is also the next afternoon to the river ferry.

Looking at the city lord of Twin Rivers City on the city wall, the cunning Wald Frey, he listened to the nobles, knights, and soldiers of his northern border scolding, and those Frey did not lose the battle and scolded back.

Arthur felt that the warriors had become shrews.

But he knew that both sides were taking advantage of the scolding battle to observe the enemy, or to distract the other party, so that they could make some arrangements and preparations.

Ryan and Varian had already moved quietly, each carrying a shield and a barrel of gunpowder through the gates of Twin Cities.

"Arthur, can gunpowder really blow the gates open?"

I've seen gunpowder in bamboo tubes, but Anne doubts that she can blow up the city gates.

"Did I lie to you?" said Arthur, unbreathing, "be prepared to rush in." ”

Light the powder keg placed at the gates of the Twin Rivers.

Old Wald Frey on the wall couldn't figure out what the two lads were doing, and they had already run away.

Smoke wafted from the lit fuse.

Fireworks.

Wade Frey on the city wall sensed that something was wrong, but upon inquiry, the gates were closed so well that they could not be opened without the impact of a large battering ram.

"Boom ————"

The explosion was sudden.

Smoke billowed and dust billowed from the gates, and wooden blocks and dirt flew around the city gates!

"What's going on?!What the hell is going on?!"

"The gates are open!"

The people of Twin Rivers shouted in astonishment.

The rebellious Robert laughed wildly, raised his hammer, and charged his horse and shouted, "Kill it!"

"Quick, stop them!" Frightened by the explosion on the city walls when the gates were breached, Wald Frey came back to his senses and shouted in a panic at his son, his clan, and the soldiers.

However.

The emperor led the charge, and all the knights who were preparing followed.

And the big fat man wielding a war hammer is unstoppable!

"Avenge those killed at the wedding and kill all the Frey mongrels!"

"Let them pay with blood!"

"Wade Frey wants to run, don't let him run!"

As Iron Hoof stepped over the ruined gates, the shadow of death loomed across the Twin Cities on both sides of the Green Fork.

At the wedding, the Frey family, who violated the rights of the guests and attempted to murder the guests, could not withstand the wrath of the people of the North.

The weasel of the Frey family is never good at fighting.

This will be a massacre!

In a rare case, Arthur did not rush into the Twin Cities with the Emperor.

Don't want to be part of senseless killings.

But the more you don't want to pay attention to it, the more it will make people feel like a bully.

Then, the mortal Frey drew his bow and arrows on the city walls, aiming at Arthur, who was slowly riding behind the crowd into the city.

"My practice is not a waste of sweat and effort. ”

The silver-white steel spear flicked quickly and accurately, and the sharp arrow was swept off and dropped in an instant.

Arthur, speechless, looked up.

The soldier who wanted to continue shooting had been hacked to death by a northern man, and his body fell from the city wall like a broken sack.

"Alas... War ......"

A sigh and a low murmur fell, and the boy slowly rode into the city of Twin Rivers, where the battle was almost over.

Both Emperor Robert and Prime Minister Eddard are not interested in hunting down the remnants of the enemy, and controlling the Twin River Cities and taking the river crossing into the pocket is the most important thing.

"Arthur, you didn't do the battle just now, what's wrong?" After dealing with the daughter of the Frey family, Anne and Selena came over and asked.

"There is no point in such a fight. Arthur shrugged.

Beat the enemy to the head in three or two strokes, and Selena, who heard the words, nodded in approval: "That's true." ”

Anne said angrily: "Your Majesty and the Prime Minister will see that the northerners will even think that you are a cowardly coward." ”

Arthur: "You know I don't care. ”

Heinlikai walked over at this time: "Then what do you care about?"

Hearing this, Arthur shook his head with a smile and said, "This is a battle of revenge from the Northerners against the Frey family, right?"

"Fool, what are you now? Do you know that your every move can't be as casual as you used to? Heinrikai gave him a wide roll of the eyes, and went on to look after the women of the Frey.

She is not Arthur's mother and nanny, she should have said everything, even if she doesn't understand.

Knowing that it was a good intention, and that he was already accustomed to the girl's poisonous tongue, Arthur shook his head with a wry smile, and went with Anne to the emperor and the prime minister to help deal with the affairs of taking over the city of the twins.

The night passed in a hurry.

The river crossing was completely under the control of Emperor Robert and the Prime Minister, Duke Eddard Stark.

Under the noon sun, the soldiers drank the enemy's treasured wine in the completely taken over Twin Cities.

But in the Frey's Banquet Hall, which had killed many people from the North.

Eddard Stark, who had never had much expression, had a very ugly face at this time.

He receives news from Raven that his daughter Sansa has really been married to that ugly dwarf of the Lannisters!

And Berry Dondelion's youngest daughter Arya, whom they had seen, still has no news, and the people who sent it out can't find it!

Like Robert, he now hates those damned Lannisters, and desperates to go to King's Landing and rescue his eldest daughter, Sansa, who has fallen into the clutches of the devil!

"Your Majesty, please let me go to the Valley of Arryn tomorrow. Ed said firmly.

Robert knew that he was worried about his daughter, so he drank and shook his head, "Don't worry, let's calm down the Bolton family first." ”

Ed refused to give up, and stubbornly said: "I'm not going to Arryn Valley to fight, I don't need many people!"

Robert: "Your northern frontier needs you, King's Landing is too far away from us, and with the help of Arrynval, we can't get your daughter back from the Lannisters right away." ”

Robb spoke, "Your Majesty, Father, let me go to the Arryn Valley. ”

Robert still shook his head and said, "No, if you feel too idle, then prepare for the canonization ceremony of my three sons, and I will give them official status." ”

The words were not loud, but the noisy banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at their emperor and prime minister.

Robert also simply took the opportunity to say: "Everyone, King's Landing Coup, damn Lannister's usurpation of the throne, it is my sons Ryan, Varian and Arthur who desperately saved me.

We crossed the Narrow Sea together to escape the hunt, from Rees to Mill in Essos, and across the Sea of Dothrak to Meereen, where Eddard and I witnessed the bravery and wisdom of the trio......

They are my blood, and now they are qualified to have my last name!"

...... To be continued......
