Chapter 40: Capture Two Cities in a Row

The Dreadbook was a hundred leagues from Winterfell, and it would take at least three days to march at full speed.

Fortunately, the northern realm is vast and sparsely populated, with few human settlements, and the Adventist army only encounters two small villages along the way, so there is no fear that anyone will report the news.

As for the food, Count Sauron had prepared enough for a thousand men for three days to ensure that the raid was foolproof.

His preparation paid off, and on the night of the third day, the Adventist army arrived at the city of Terror, unharmed, unhindered along the way.

"Open the door, Master Rams is back." The heralds shouted under the city.

The defenders on the city wall saw an army with the coat of arms of the "Skinner", and they happened to know that a few days earlier, Lord Rams had taken an army of 1,000 men out of the city without telling the duke.

"Can you show me a glimpse of Lord Rams?" The black light blinded the fire and couldn't see the person who came, but the city guard still confirmed the identity of the person who came according to the procedural requirements.

"Bold, you dare to doubt your lord!" The herald scolded with a dog's leg.

"Hey...... Tanger, just a few days without seeing me, you don't know me. A familiar gloomy voice came from under the metal mask, which made the defender's heart feel relieved and panicked at the same time.

This voice, this tone, is indeed Lord Rams.

"You guys, go and open the door to your lordship." The city defender hurriedly ordered his subordinates that there was no need to confirm it again, and it would be difficult to even die if they offended Lord Rams.

The main entrance will not be opened during this time, and the side gate of the Horror Castle will slowly raise a narrow door three meters wide with manpower.

The army rushed in.

The city keeper himself stood by the door to greet him, and although he was a knight, he had to bow his noble head in the face of Rams, the bastard son who was likely to inherit the title of Earl of Burton.

Master Rams ignored him, and walked through the door with his head held high.

The defender was relieved, and it was obvious that Lord Rams did not trouble him on the spot, which meant that he was okay for the time being.

But...... It doesn't feel right!

As the team outside the city rushed in, the fresh faces in front of him made the city defenders suspicious.

"He's not Rams! Close the door! Enemy attack! Seeing the sword light and sword shadow flickering under the armor, the city guard finally reacted and let out a terrible shout, but he was greeted by a silver sword light, which swept by.

"Phew!" Heads rose into the sky, and Sauron, disguised as Rams in the front row, drew his sword and decapitated, and everything happened between lightning and flint.

The surrounding soldiers were stunned for a moment before they reacted, and the death of the city defender immediately caused a riot among the city guards, but before they could put it into action, the dagger from behind ended their lives.

It was the Advent who struck! They lurked in the Horror Castle half a month ago, opened the way through the golden dragon and lies, and successfully infiltrated the city defense system of the Horror Castle, for this day!

The Adventist's plan was undoubtedly successful, the Adventists who had already entered the city tore off their disguises one after another, the soldiers defending the city fought together, and the few people who had already prepared desperately shook the cable car, and the city gate burst open!

Countless deathbringers marched into the darkness of the night, and rushed into the inner city of the Horror Fortress.

The shouts of slaughter woke up many of the soldiers of the Fortress of Terror who had already fallen asleep, but before they could put on their armor, the wolf-like descenders had already rushed into the house and slashed and slashed.

There are also knights and officers who have finally organized their ranks in the chaos, but they need to face a team of Adventists who are already ready to fight.

Luce Bolton led his army and Robb to the south, and Rams drew 2,000 troops, but there were not many troops in the city, and the soldiers in the city were quickly slaughtered by the sneak attacks and killings of the Adventists.

By the time the sky was shining slightly, the Horror Castle had already changed owners.

The first thing Count Sauron did when he took the castle was to seal off the entire city so that no one was allowed to leave, and at the same time he ordered his men to kill all the ravens and count the horses, so that the news could not be delivered in the first place.

At this time, Luce Burton, who was on the front line fighting against the Lannister army, did not know that his lair had fallen into the hands of others.

The Horror Castle has been captured, and Zhang Xinyi's next target is the Deep Forest Castle occupied by Asha of the Greyjoy family.

As the Earl of Sauron, who was personally canonized by the King of the North, he was far superior to Asha Greyjoy in both righteousness and military strength, and it was only at this time that he could have captured the Deepwood.

But before that, he still has something to do.

In order to prevent the news from leaking after his departure, Zhang Xinyi issued a cruel order, he ordered the Advent to eradicate all Bolton forces in the Terror Keep, including Luce's relatives and vassals, and almost overnight, the Terror Keep turned into a ghost.

After that, Count Sauron and the Advent spent some time in the Castle of Terror, mainly rearmament and recruiting new recruits.

During this time, the Advent Beings entered the world of Ice and Fire one after another in the fantasy space, and they were put under the command of the Children of the Surface, and the number of Count Sauron's army increased again, with a total of about 3,000 soldiers composed of the Descenders.

When everything was ready, Count Sauron left two hundred Descenders to garrison the Terror Fortress, and the rest of the army marched again.

Located in the Wolf Forest northwest of Winterfell, the Deepwood Castle is twice as far from Winterfell as Rig of the Dreadful Castle, and at the current marching speed of the army, it will take at least five days.

They made a trip back to Winterfell and took Theon, who had not recovered from his injuries, with them.

Maester Lewyn was surprised to learn that Count Sauron had captured the Dreadfulhold, and he persuaded Sauron not to go too far, as there was no evidence that Rams had led his army to Winterfell to help the rebellious Theon, who had been the first to do so.

But when Sauron showed the old scholar the letters between Luce Bolton and his bastard son Rams, he was left speechless.

In the letter, Luce Burton did not explicitly instruct his son Rams, but he did mean that if Rams had the chance, he could try to take Winterfell and cut off Stark's foundations.

"The Seven Gods are above! How could I let Robb have such a poisonous snake lurking around him. The old bachelor's face changed drastically, and he jumped up with the agility that did not match his age, and came to the desk to write hard, making sure to pass the news on in the shortest possible time.

"Hope is still in time......," muttered the old bachelor, looking at the ravens in the distance.

"The warning has been issued, and it's up to you whether you can detect it or not." Zoro looked at all this lightly, and stroked the cold ice in his hand.

On the other hand, the Adventists rested in Winterfell and headed for the Deeplinburg again, and the movement of the army was immediately known to Asha, who had been following the situation in Winterfell.

"You're saying that my stupid brother has not only been caught, but has also become a bargaining chip with us, and is heading for the Deep Forest." Asha said, staring at the scout in front of her.

"I'm afraid yes, and there are a lot of them, several times as many as us." The messenger replied.

Asha knew he wasn't lying, because at the age of twelve, she could tell from a person's eyes whether he was lying or the truth, so she could see the fear in the other's eyes.

There is too much difference in numbers between the two sides, and Shenlin Fort is not a place to be defended, it must be them who lose this battle, and it is their lives that are lost.

But as an iron seed, how can he run away without a fight. What's more, there is a vague thought in her heart, she wants to prove to her father that although she is a woman, she is better than her younger brother.

Determined, Asha called her men to the outer courtyard, and she climbed onto a barrel so that they could all see her.

"The wolves with their sharp teeth are on their way to attack us, and they are three thousand in number, and they will come to our gates before sunrise. Are we going to throw down our spears and beg them to let us live? ”

The people looked at each other, and then, one of the iron breeds drew his sword and said, "No! ”

"No!" Another iron with a long axe chimed in.

"No!" This is a bear-strong iron breed that single-handedly shattered the skulls of three enemies when he took the city.

"Never!" Then, more and more voices rang out, passing through the outer courtyard and blowing the battle horn.

The Iron Folk are determined to fight to the death.

"Woo woo woo-" The battle horn hissed, long and low, making people's blood coagulate.

The siege begins.

The Adventists had never attacked a castle, and even a month ago, most of them had never touched a sword, but after the experience of the fantasy plane, each of them was now a battle-hardened soldier.

And the Adventists have a powerful addition to modern engineering to build creations.

A citadel-high platform was quickly pushed towards the city walls.

"What is this......" The iron people were in an uproar, and they were suddenly caught off guard. Then a roar rang out from the city walls, "Shoot these wolf cubs for me and cut them down!" ”

It was the voice of Asha Greyjoy, armed with armor and a battle axe, at the front of the crowd.

However, the next moment, she saw that her younger brother Theon was tied to the top of the gimbal, and if she shot, it would be easy to accidentally injure him.

This discovery made her gasp, and she even forgot to give orders for a while.

But she finally reacted, only to see her take a deep breath, then exhale, and suddenly snatch her bow and arrow from the soldier next to her, aiming and shooting, and her target was Theon Greyjoy.

The arrow tore through the air, piercing Theon's heart under Theon's desperate gaze, but was knocked off by a two-handed sword halfway through, Count Sauron sneered next to Theon, "Now is not the time to send you on your way." ”

Theon didn't die, and Iron Min's shot became more and more weak, after all, even if it was a mistake, no one wanted to take the responsibility of killing Greyjoy with his own hands.

With a "boom", in the midst of a wave of shaking mountains, the cloud car finally leaned against the city wall.

The dense crowd of Adventists rushed towards the city walls, and they excitedly pounced on the walking points, looking crazy and forgetting to die.

Among them, the Adventists who surrounded Asha were the most numerous, because she was the most valuable.

But as the leader of the Iron People, she had the most and strongest people around her, and one after another the Adventers died under their skillful killing skills.

But there was an endless stream of people who couldn't resist the arrival, and when his physical strength was always exhausted, the iron seed holding the sword was accidentally cut to the thigh, and his action was greatly reduced, which soon killed him, and he was the first to fall.

Then he fell with the iron with the axe, and he was approached by a descender, and the dagger plunged through the middle of his throat, killing him directly.

As for the iron seed, which was as strong as a bear, after smashing the skulls of three people, he died under the spear of a fourth.

More and more iron fell and never got up again.

Asha led her men to fight the enemy, and she alone killed six Advents, the last of whom was about to succeed in receiving a huge reward, but she took a dagger from her breast and pierced her heart.

Asha laughed wildly, staring at everyone coldly like a female leopard trapped in a herd.

Then a long sword knocked the dagger in her hand away, and a sharp sword rested on her neck, and Count Sauron asked lightly, "Surrender or die?" ”

Asha looked at the corpses on the city wall for a long time, and she wanted to yell back at him to show her unwillingness, but her throat was so thirsty that she could only let out a dull grunt, "Don't kill me, I surrender." She said.

In the eyes of the Adventists, the name "Asha Greyjoy" on the woman's head suddenly changed from hostile red to neutral yellow after surrendering, and she couldn't help but curse in her heart.

"Nima, the son of the plane actually robbed the monster! And there is no heavenly reason! ”
