Chapter 60: The Battle of Midsummer Hall (1)

Han Xing used a very simple method to help Robert's army quickly reach the battlefield, this is an application of private space, he connected the entrance of the space to the Storm's Rest on the way to the Midsummer Hall, when Robert's army thought they were on the way to the Midsummer Hall, they actually entered Han Xing's "Riverside District", but Han Xing used the way to modify the rules of the space to make them think that they were marching on the main road, but in fact they were standing still in Han Xing's space.

Then Han Xing rode the "Electric" to the Midsummer Hall at full speed, and then released them all when he got there, these Robert soldiers thought that they were really in high spirits, and they only walked for two hours for the whole day.

Robert thought that Han Xing had exerted some kind of acceleration magic on them, and cast a grateful look at Han Xing, as if telling Han Xing to "well done"!

So Robert's army was the first to reach the ruins, but the royalist coalition was left far behind and "late".

Robert had a large army, gathering the essence of the entire Stormlands, with 6,000 levies, 2,000 swordsmen, 1,500 axemen, 2,500 archers, 1,000 knights, and 1,500 cavalry, a full 14,500 men.

The Stormlands have far more troops than the Knight-dominated Valley, and the levies here even bring their own spears and leather armor, probably because the Stormlands are more difficult than other regions. After all, since Durham offended the "father-in-law", the stormland has been ravaged by the storm, and it has not stopped, which can't help but make people wonder if Durham has been forgiven by the "father-in-law", maybe he is just relying on the castle and making his "father-in-law" helpless!

Robert's troops began to build fortifications in the Midsummer Hall, and relying on the ruins, Robert's army immediately had complete fortifications, giving them a defensive advantage.

Robert ordered the flags and the like to be put away, and asked everyone to hide them, apparently intending to play a surprise game of "peek-a-boo" with the other party.

The first to appear is the banner of the House of Cavron, which features a green coat of arms with two white fawns standing in a half-standing position facing the left and right, with their back bodies crossed together.

There is a reason why the Cavolons, the Fells, and the Grandsons dare to join the royalists, because their territory is close to the wealthy royal realms, and they are all quite wealthy, and they are the richest families in the Stormlands. Because of this, they see the other nobles of the Stormlands as "dirt buns", and the other nobles also see them as "dirt rich men with a few stinky money". As a result, they were more willing to deal with the "civilized people" of the royal domain, so they were regarded as "traitors", and thus even more intolerant of the ranks of the nobles of the Stormlands, and were increasingly marginalized.

But what is certain is that each of the three of them can raise no less than 3,000 troops, and together they are tens of thousands, obviously, their business has not been done in vain all these years.

It can be seen that the Cavolon family is as agile as the white deer on his coat of arms, so they are the first to arrive, but I am afraid that their IQ is also comparable to the "stupid spores" on the coat of arms.

The wretched creatures knew nothing of their fate, and they marched happily towards the Summer Hall, and at the front of the pack was Count Orlando Cavvolon, who rode on a tall white horse, and walked proudly at the front of the procession, and he was obviously very proud of his capital, after all, he had a "great army" of more than 4,000 men, which their family had been running for hundreds of years.

Dressed in silver, shiny armor and a white deer with a green coat of arms painted on his chest, Count Orlando Cavolon was in his 40s and a regular at jousting tournaments as a young man.

"Ahead are the ruins of the Summer Hall!" A few of the horses that had walked in front reported to Count Carvolon. They are obviously not responsible, and if they can take a closer look, it is not difficult to see that the Midsummer Hall has a new "owner".

Maybe it's because they don't think Robert could have arrived at the Summer Hall before them! After all, compared to Wind's Breath Castle, the territory of several people is closer to the Midsummer Hall. Even his Tanma and scouts thought so, but they didn't expect that with the help of Han Xing, the Robert Army had already taken the lead in entering the Midsummer Hall.

Poor Count Orlando Cavolon foolishly ran into Robert's ambush, and the noble count was the first to go, only to find it slammed shut with a slam as soon as he and some of his guards entered the empty gate.

Then in the stunned eyes of Count Cavron, he was directly surrounded by a large group of enemy troops who were eyeing him, and he must have thought to Count Cavron: ", what's the situation!" Who are these people? Crown bucks? The rebels of Storm's End? How can it be!!! Then several of his guards were turned into hedgehogs by the barrels of spears, and he himself was dragged from his horse by the swarming army, and was captured alive before Robert by the soldiers.

The enemy troops outside the city gate saw the dilapidated gate, which was only half burned and blackened, suddenly closed, and they all looked confused, and thought that the Earl suddenly wanted to be alone, and only when they found that a large group of storm archers with bows and arrows suddenly appeared at the head of the city and shot arrows at them, they realized: this is an ambush!

They retreated backwards, not caring about the safety of their "boss" Count Caffron, until they fled a few kilometers back, and only a few knights succeeded in retracting the rout, and then a full 4,000 people sneaked back like thieves, after all, they were scared away by an unknown number of enemies, and it was afraid that it would damage their reputation.

Just as they turned around and wanted to attack, they saw two figures appear at the head of the city, and their movements immediately froze.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The Count of Orlando Cavolon was so reluctantly escorted to Robert by the soldiers, and looked at the iconic "Crown Buck" coat of arms on Robert's body, the all-metal buck antler helmet on his head, and the Bachelor Clerson who was smiling silently, and Count Orlando Cavolon immediately knew the identity of the person in front of him.

"Lord Robert! I didn't mean to rebel, yesβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ yes, it was that bastard from Earl Fell who picked me up! I was deceived by him! Count Cavolon immediately recognized the situation before him, and began to beg for mercy with determination, and crawled to Robert's lap with a handful of snot and tears, like a green caterpillar.

Robert just looked at him with a smile, and then said to him, "Come, follow me twice, I heard that you were a famous knight when you were young!" I've always wanted to fight you! So saying, he untied Count Cavolon's rope and pulled him up from the ground.

"Two moves?" Count Cavolon looked at Robert suspiciously, for fear that his tricks were fake, and he wanted his life to be true! Immediately shuddered, and said again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I fight with the Duke?" ”

"What? Could it be that the famous Count of Cavolon is actually a pustule? Or do you despise my skills? Hmm~~Hmph~~" Robert immediately looked "hideous" and snorted.

So Count Cavolon had no choice but to "fight" with Robert, and when he finally picked up his sword tremblingly, and saw Robert wielding the war hammer vigorously, Count Cavolon was immediately frightened, and his face turned green.

"Is he still human? What a trick this is! Isn't that fatal? Count Cavolon thought to himself, and his face was suddenly as dead as ashes, and he began to pray to the seven gods.

The "tricks" of the two were actually very unsightly, Robert smashed Count Cavron's sword again and again and flew out of his hand, and then asked Count Cavolon to pick it up and continue to smash it with a bad taste.

Count Cavolon was not in a state, and even the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, completely ravaged by Robert, Han Xing felt that he was even a bit like a child who was learning swords, and Robert was feeding him, but Robert was obviously very incompetent as a teacher, and he always used too much force, which greatly hit the enthusiasm of Orlando's classmates.

In the end, Count Cavolon was as tired as a dead dog, after all, he was wearing a thick armor, bending over to death, and being tossed by Robert to run back and forth, in the years he became an earl, he had already become accustomed to a comfortable life, and that muscle was also gone.

After this, Count Cavolon immediately threw himself into the five-body body that Robert admired, after all, it was a martial society, he saw how powerful Robert was, and immediately wanted to slap himself more than 100 big mouths, and then swore allegiance to Robert in the future and never betrayed Yunyun.

When he appeared at the head of the city after Robert, his army was immediately stunned, "Boss, what are you doing?" A little bit of a quasi-letter, okay? Didn't he say that he would join the armies of the other two counts and give the traitor Robert Baratheon a good look? Why did your old man suddenly kneel down for him? ”

In front of his own army, Count Orlando Cavolon knelt down again and reaffirmed the oath he had just made, and although his army was very blind, since you were the boss, you had the final say, and were happy to make a truce, and immediately changed the flag and joined Robert's men.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Robert has more people than them, and he also occupies a defensive advantage, and he insists on stumbling to the death, and the unlucky ones will only be himself and others, anyway, it is Count Cavolon who has the final say.

I guess the only people who are angry about this are the unlucky ones who were shot with bows and arrows! "What are we dying for? It's good that they reconciled somehow, and our lives are here! Please, if you want peace talks, it's early! "I think the souls of the lost soldiers would have complained if they could speak.

By skillfully setting up an ambush, Robert expanded his force to nearly 20,000 men without a single soldier.

About two hours later, the flag of another unit appeared on the road in the distance.
