Chapter 38 Conspiracy of the Parties
Early the next morning, a large army set out from Winterfell and hurried to the city of Toruń, forty miles away.
This army is made up entirely of Adventists, and by this time, the number of Adventists who have come to this world has increased to thousands, joining the command of the sons of the Lords.
"I don't understand why this is obviously a ruse by Theonson, and it should be the Iron People led by the Iron Islands "Crackjaw Dagmore" who attacked the city of Toruń, why they still follow the original script. In the crowd, a small man who knew the plot of a song of ice and fire whispered to his companion next to him.
"Cut, who knows! This is a plan that the Children of the Plane have discussed with the leaders of those large groups, and we don't know the details, so we have to follow it. The companion rubbed the spear in his hand and shrugged.
"Hey, I'm just unwilling! It's okay if you can't compare to them in reality, but I didn't expect that in the fantasy plane, it's still inferior to them. The little man said fiercely.
"People are rich and powerful, so they can naturally attract a group of people to work hard. But if we want, we can also get a senior white-collar salary in the real world. ”
"That's their stupidity." The little man sneered, "I have a hunch that this fantasy space definitely has a good history, and it is extremely stupid to abandon future development in order to make a profit, and it is a waste of the opportunity God gave them." ”
"Yes! Isn't it a ......blessing that we were chosen as the Adventists?" said his companion with a sympathetic nod.
Forty miles is not far away, but marching so far in the cold and windy north is definitely a torture.
For the Adventists, though, the problem is much smaller.
Because of the frequent contact with the battle scene, in order to avoid mental damage, all pain sensation in the fantasy plane will be reduced to 20%, and the immunity to the cold and heat will also reach an alarming level.
This is also their greatest reliance on becoming a qualified soldier in a short period of time.
After a full day's march, the crowd finally arrived at the city of Toruń before dark.
The sound of shouting and killing came from not far away, and a group of people could be faintly seen attacking the city of Torun overnight.
"Light the torch!" The order sounded, and the firelight formed a long dragon in the night.
"Burn and kill the plundered iron." Zoro pulled out the ice, his eyes as cold as the blade of his sword, "You guys, you don't have to go back......"
"All, charge—"
The battle ended in less than an hour, and more than 600 Greyjoy family soldiers disguised as pirates were all killed, and none of them surrendered.
As for their leader, "Split-Jaw Dagmore", he was beheaded after a confrontation with Count Sauron Melko.
More than a hundred people were killed in this battle, but the next day they would reappear alive on the outskirts of Winterfell.
The battle also gave the Adventists a glimpse of the force of the Children of the Plane.
"It's a humanoid beast, should it be said that it deserves to be a son of the plane......
Not to mention that the Adventist had evil intentions, after the battle, Sauron asked his men to clean up the battlefield, and contacted the people of Torun Fangcheng, asking to enter the city to rest.
The current acting lord of Toruń Fang City is one of the princes who followed Robb south, Sir Herman Tawha's younger brother Lambard Tawha, who watched in horror at the head of the city as Count Sauron slaughtered all the "pirates", and after the battle, he hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate, personally entertain the famous "Chosen Sword God", and arrange a place to rest.
However, shortly after the end of the battle, a sudden news came from Winterfell.
Theon Greyjoy, the adopted son of Duke Eddard, took advantage of the emptiness inside Winterfell and led his men to climb the walls with hooks and ropes and take over the castle.
Maester Lewyn sent a letter asking for help from Raven, asking Sir Sauron to return with his troops as soon as possible to liberate Winterfell.
"Hooked, now it's up to them to see if they follow the script." In the bedroom, Sauron handed the letter for help to the Adventist next to him to circulate it.
"I've received word that Asha Greyjoy of Deepwoodburg is on her way to Winterfell overnight."
Sauron bowed, "What about the Bolton family?" ”
"There is no mission yet, and it seems that Theon has not sent his 'stinker' to the Bolton family for help."
"Then add a fire to him!"
……
Council of Winterfell
Theon had just received information from the scouts that an army of a thousand men was approaching Winterfell, and the news almost sparked him.
"It can't be! How could Winterfell still have such an army? Theon yelled as he grabbed Maester Lewyn by the collar.
"This is the army recruited by Count Sauron, my child, surrender! You are no match for him. Maester Ruwen tried to convince him.
"Damn old man." Theon pushed Maester Luwin to the ground, "I killed Bran and Rickon, and they won't let me go." ”
Maester Ruwen knew that his words were not true, and that Bran, Rickon, and the two girls had mysteriously disappeared when Theon entered the city, and in order to cover up this fact, Theon used the farmer's two children to be killed in their place and burned to char to deter the inhabitants of Winter.
"As long as you put on the black clothes, I will persuade them to forgive your sins and take back your due honor." Inside, Maester Lewyn still didn't want to see Theon, the child he had watched grow up, die like this.
"This ......," Theon hesitated.
"If I were you, dear brother, return to the Iron Islands now, while it's still too late." Asha sat in Theon's place and said with a lazy expression.
Although she knew that if Theon retreated with her, they would face a thousand-strong army of men chasing them.
"No!" Theon said to himself that he could not agree to this only point, and that he had abandoned his loyalty and honor and seized the castle that should have belonged to his brother Robb, just to prove his ability to the Iron People, and to go back in disgrace, it was better to kill him!
"My master, you can ask my former master's father, Count Bolton, for the Horror Castle is only a day's journey away." The Skunk, who was supposed to be a prisoner about to be executed, was liberated from the Stark dungeon by Theon, and at the same time he suggested that Theon kill the farmer's child in place of Prince Stark, and seeing Theon's hesitation, he interjected in a shrill voice.
"Lord Luce Bolton of the Castle of Terror...... Theon asked eagerly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Will Bolton agree to send troops, after all, he is also a vassal of the Stark family......"
"Rest assured, my lord, I will convince the Duke that at least two thousand men will be reinforced to Winterfell." The stinky guy grinned, and didn't seem to care at all if he could persuade a duke with his identity.
It's a pity that the few people present had other thoughts, but they didn't find the flaws in his words, only Asha's eyes flickered, and she took a deep look at the stinky guy and watched coldly.
"Nope! Theon, you can't do that, it's a choice that will put you in a situation from which you will never recover. "Master Lewyn was shocked to hear their plot, for he knew that with the vassalage of Winterfell and Dreadbook, the newly crowned Earl might not have thought of guarding against Count Bolton, and that he might have failed Sauron if he had the intention to do so.
The thought sent him shudders.
"Lock him up." Theon kicked it away, summoning two soldiers, "Don't let him touch anyone." ”
"As for you......," Theon said with a warm smile on his face as he turned to the stink, "my faithful servant, I will send you to the Castle of Terror to contact Count Bolton in the hope that you will bring me good news." ”
"Yes, my master." The stinky guy got down on one knee and lowered his head with a playful smile.
"Since you've chosen this castle, I won't bother. Good bye! My dear brother......" Asha got up, stretched lazily and seductively, said hello, and led his men out of the council chamber.
"Abominable woman!" Theon watched Asha leave, helpless.
Kicking the table and stool in front of him was not enough to vent his anger, "Damn! You all look down on me, wait...... I'll prove to you, Winterfell, it's mine! ”
On the other side, Zoro received news from his men that Rams, disguised as a stink, had exited the narrow gates of Winterfell in the direction of the Dreadful Keep.
"The bait has been dropped, and the rest is left to wait for the fish to take the bait automatically......"
The next day, Count Sauron led his army back to Winterfell, shouting from under the gates for the Iron Folk of the city to immediately sacrifice the heads of Winterfell and Theon.
Otherwise, he will choose to attack.
Since Asha chose to abandon him, Theon now has less than thirty men under his command, and although he has the danger of the city walls, he is by no means a match for an army of a thousand.
In fact, Theon's men were already showing signs of unsteady, and he was afraid that his head would be cut off from behind
In order to survive, Theon forced the inhabitants of Winterfell to be pushed to the top of the city, claiming that if they chose to attack, he would immediately execute them.
The shouting and scolding of the city continued.
"I can signal the people in the city to activate." One of the more status-based descendants suggested.
"Don't worry, everyone is here, let them watch a good show."
As if compromised by Theon's threat, Count Sauron signaled his army to halt the attack, and more than a thousand men were stationed outside the city.
The next day, he continued to send soldiers to demand that Theon surrender the city, and as a condition for voluntary surrender, Theon and his men could leave a life and choose to wear black clothes and join the Night's Watch.
However, Count Sauron's compromise made Theon seem to see life, and not only did he refuse to surrender the city, but he also demanded that Count Sauron want his allegiance and recognize his status as Duke of Winterfell.
Count Sauron refused, but the next day he promised to let Theon and his men leave safely as long as the city was surrendered.
This retreat made Theon even more carried away, and he even ordered tables and chairs to be carried up to the top of the city, drinking while watching the "helpless" expression under the walls.
"This guy is such an idiot, he doesn't look like the wolf family at all. However, his father's brain-dead choice to rebel during Robert's heyday is estimated to be genetic. Under the city walls, the captain of the Advent of a ten-member squad sneered, "No wonder this guy was deceived by the 'little skinning' in the original book, and later became the second eunuch with a name and surname in the Song of Ice and Fire." ”
"He won't be proud for long, and sooner or later he'll have to clean him up. By the way, where is the army of little skinning? ”
"There are still ten miles to go, and it is estimated that it will be there tomorrow."
"yes, that's good...... My greatsword is already hungry......"
