Chapter 81: Temptation

The night rain drenched everyone's hair, clothes and even weapons on the stone arch bridge.

The crude oak shields in the hands of the first prisoners were slammed into the rain by the Twin River Cavalry's meteor hammers.

Shattered without warning.

Sharp hammers with countless sharp edges and corners smashed into the ranks of prisoners with great inertia.

Bright red blood splashed in all directions, and the transparent rain in mid-air was suddenly dyed a layer of red.

Lynn watched this scene from afar, and there was no wave on her face.

This is to be expected.

The prisoners in the front row, helpless, were reaped with barbed hammers and chains.

Ten prisoners died, and then ten.

Until the prisoners, with their flesh and blood, stopped the forward trend of the deadly heavy meteor hammer.

The remaining 70 prisoners could finally try to stretch out their spears and stab at the cavalry that crashed into the queue.

However, the battle-hardened cavalry in the Riverland had long been ready for the rear.

After the meteor hammer rolled to the ground, the Twin River City cavalry pulled out a spiked short spear with a handle only the length of an arm.

Short spears were thrown into the queue with a crowded crowd of prisoners.

There was another muffled sound, and more than a dozen figures fell.

Under a series of attacks from the enemy, the phenomenon of rout began to appear among the prisoners who were in the cold.

How can this battle be fought? Before they have done anything, nearly 100 men have already lost 30 percent.

This is the end of the regular cavalry dealing with such a temporary miscellaneous team, and it is no different from killing chickens and geldings.

Commander Shi Fu sat on his horse, waiting to make sure that behind the thirty cavalry of the Stone Arch Bridge, no other soldiers from Twin River City appeared.

He gave Lynn an inquiring look.

Lynn, who was protected in the middle by the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, was under the torch, his face was cold.

He listened to the howls of the prisoners on the stone bridge in front of him.

He gave the squire knight Shifu a positive look.

Finally, as the temporary commander of the Tiger Regiment, Shi Fu waved his hand and gave an order to the Tiger Regiment's crossbowmen.

He shouted, "Crossbow team!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Whoosh!" The crossbowmen of the Level 3 Tiger Regiment who had long been ready to attack instantly pulled the bowstring, and the dense sound of breaking the air sounded, and the arrows pierced through the rain curtain and shot directly at the middle and rear rows of the Twin River City cavalry team that was gradually approaching at the bridgehead.

Level 3 crossbowmen have a stronger and more stable command of their bows and arrows, even if they are disturbed by rain, and the hit rate is terrifying when they aim and shoot at such a short distance.

The pop of the arrow hitting the flesh rang out.

Arrows were constantly being thrown from their horses, falling on the ground where the rain and blood met on the flat stone arch bridge.

The prisoners, who were supported by bows and arrows, were finally able to catch their breath.

"Kill the cavalry, and those who survive will be freed." ”

The stone man in the back shouted loudly again.

The rain-drenched figures of the prisoners raised their heads, and they crossed over the dead bodies of their companions, roaring fiercely, and swooped forward to kill the Twin City cavalry who had been disrupted by the archers.

"Kill!"

The melee strangulation was staged again.

However, the balance of victory has tipped in favor of the prisoner ranks.

In the midst of the chaos, a cavalry member of Twin Rivers City turned around and left in a hurry.

Lynn understood that this meant the end of the tentative attack.

So he no longer focuses on the already predestined ending.

He instructed Shifu to continue to guard the bridgehead, and fulfill his promise to let the prisoners who were probably less than a dozen alive in the end let them go.

Judging that the Frey family should not attack again in a short time, his men and horses need to rest more than Lynn's soldiers.

Lynn takes Arya and someone Jakun to a nearby tavern.

The owner of the tavern is a fat woman with brown hair, who is hiding behind the counter and is at a loss.

When Lynn's army invaded the eastern part of the Twin Cities, most of the inhabitants left the tavern and disappeared into the streets and alleys, closing the gates in advance.

However, it is a two-storey tavern and spacious enough.

Requisitioned by Lynn, it was used as a resting place for the wounded soldiers of the Tiger Regiment.

Lynn's last 41 points were exchanged for 8 field medics, who were responsible for the care of the 30 or so lightly injured soldiers placed here.

The current points of the system are only 1 point left.

Compared to the cold and rainy night outside, the inside of the tavern was much milder.

The charcoal fire in the fireplace was very strong, the fire was jumping, the tables and chairs of the tavern were piled up in a corner, and on the ground lay wounded soldiers of the siege of the city, and the field medic was using needles and threads, gauze and scissors to help them make simple stitches.

Come to the bar in front of the tavern and sit down on three high legs.

Lynn first spoke a few words of comfort to the depressed Arya.

Then ask someone Jia Kun how they escaped.

Someone told Lynn what had happened, when he heard that the bloody wedding was over and that the soldiers of the Stark family had been slaughtered by the soldiers of the Freys.

Lynn sighed lightly and said, "Since you entered the banquet hall at that time, you can see Dani...... Is that the butler I have in the Lord's Mansion in Fishing Village?"

Arya suddenly raised her head and interjected, "Has Dani been invited to the wedding as well?"

Lynn smiled wryly.

told the story of Dani's kidnapping, as well as his own speculation.

Arya immediately scolded indignantly: "Wald Frey will not die a good death, and one day I will kill him with my own hands." ”

Lynn's face was calm, and with a cold look in his eyes, he said, "Revenge is today." ”

Someone's eyes flickered, "Lord Lynn, it seems that your soldiers are not enough to take the entire Twin Cities, maybe tomorrow morning, the soldiers of the Frey family will be able to completely judge the number of your soldiers, and at that time, they will go out and kill the stone arch bridge." ”

"My reinforcements are on the way. ”

Someone stared at Lynn and said, "Although I don't know where Your Excellency's current army came from, if your reinforcements are the limited number of men in Fishing Village Harbor, I'm afraid it will still not be enough to defeat the Frey family." ”

Lynn smiled noncommittally.

He took the wine glass from the trembling tavern fat proprietress and took a shallow sip.

Indeed, with all the armed forces at his disposal, it is difficult to fight a decisive battle with the 2,000 soldiers of the Frey family in Twin River City.

Even the system soldiers have the advantages of being fearless to death, being absolutely loyal, and having a high degree of discipline.

It is also difficult to defeat twice the opponent's strength and win this decisive battle.

Lynn fiddled with the ceramic wine glass in his hand, and said with a deep gaze, "What if you add the Zeren army of the Necked Greywater Fortress and the Greyjoy family of the Iron Islands?"

Arya interjected, "Lynn...... It can't be!"

Born into the Stark family, Er Ya has been exposed to power and strife since she was a child, and has experienced first-hand in King's Landing, the whole process of her father Ned Stark being executed from prime minister to traitor.

Now, in Twin Rivers, she almost almost witnessed the death of her dearest mother and eldest brother, Robb.

Arya realized that behind the bloodshed of Westeros, there was a big drama of power.

So, Erya didn't believe it at all, what Lynn said.

There is no interest, not even her own aunt, the mistress of Arryn Valley, who would not send the Vale soldiers to avenge her sister Caitlin.

Not to mention the enemies of the Iron Islands who had just attacked Winterfell, or the Ze people who had a faint connection with the north?

Lynn reached out and patted Arya's little head.

Gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"There's nothing possible in this world," Lynn chuckled, "but it's over, let's go to the Black and White Academy with someone for a while, I need a stronger Arya by my side." ”
