Chapter 64: Revealing Ambition
However, for these shieldmen who are defending in formation, the fatal ones are often not in the front.
The two cavalry led by Lovren ran for a while with the loose and dense archers, slaughtering the archers into frightened bows and running back.
They again killed the infantry from the flank, a return to the rifle.
This time it wasn't an all-out charge, but it worked very well.
The Rammen infantry, who struggled to support the defense of the frontal cavalry, was easily torn open by the flank cavalry.
The array that was scattered head-on completely collapsed at this moment.
The infantry, whose confidence had been greatly hit, could no longer maintain the array.
The two sides entered a melee.
This is what the Templars are good at, and with the advantage of being equipped with horse armor and spears, the cavalry is condescending, and killing people is as easy as slaughtering chickens and geldings.
Without the counterbalance of large-scale archers, the cavalry began to rampage, and some cavalry even abandoned the spears that were too slow to harvest people's heads, drew their long swords at their waists, and hacked the terrified infantry to death.
The soldiers of the Knights Templar did not spare a single person who tried to escape.
Lynn's order was to take Ram Gate Castle.
System soldiers have not learned to be merciful.
Every enemy hacked to death is the best merit for them to show their loyalty to Lynn.
In the eyes of the imposing Knights Templar, once the enemy was defeated and lost their defensive formation, it meant that they became lambs to the slaughter.
Every time the blade in his hand is slashed, he can harvest a good human head.
The killing lasted two hours.
The long street at the west gate is like a blood-stained purgatory.
The inhabitants of the castle closed their doors in fear as they listened to the earth-shattering shouts of killing.
Cliff, the commander of the Ram Gate city defense, tried to organize several effective counterattacks, but was easily defeated by the knights after several short charges, and even took his own life.
At this point, the dust of the battle at Simon was settled.
Only a hundred Ram Gate city defenders were strangled by the Templars, and only a dozen or so were left alive, and the rest were almost terrified.
Don't dare to fight again.
...
Lynn stayed honestly in the cabin, and when he gave the order for the cavalry to put back on the cotton armor they carried on the ship, they were ready to land.
He lost his temporary command.
Because Duncan and Shifu did not agree to let Lynn venture into the city before the situation was completely clear.
This time, even the head of his personal bodyguard, Squire Hood, thought so.
"My lord, if there are still a few archers on this side of Haimen, it is easy to hurt you, but the arrows do not have eyes, and they do not know your noble body. ”
In fact, it stands to reason that not only Lynn should stay on the ship, but also Duncan Stone.
When the battle at Simon is brought to fruition, Lovren will definitely send people in the direction of Haimen to sort out the last remnants.
Lynn only needs to wait for the tall wooden fence of the sea gate, be lowered from the city by his own people, and respectfully escort him into the city.
However, Duncan and Shi Fu turned over and begged Lynn to let them also go to support the siege.
Lynn knew that the two of them hadn't behaved much since they had been with her, and the last time they had killed the Lannisters in the Riverlands, they had only flanked them.
This time it is still the same.
Both of them are legendary knights who think highly of themselves, so they are naturally unwilling to be left behind.
Lynn agreed to their request and was ready to take them to take the sea gate, but these two stubborn tempers refused to let them leave the battleship.
Lynn sighed helplessly, watching as the soldiers of the Cavalry Regiment put the off armor back on the whole team.
He turned his head to the stunned guard Hu De and said, "You don't seem to have participated in the frontal battle, and you seem to envy these people, but why have you never taken the initiative to ask for battle?"
Hood still stood firmly behind Lynn when he heard this, watching Sir Duncan lead the soldiers of the Cavalry Regiment from the ship to the deck, and he stopped talking.
Lynn asked the truth, and Hood listened more attentively, so much so that his expression was a little unnatural, obviously absent-minded.
Indeed, since the lord dealt with the pirates, he has fought several times in foreign wars, but Hood, who was once Lynn's most powerful general, has no room at all.
He is now completely living as a royal guard.
Following Lynn is indeed very majestic.
However, with the addition of new Duncan, Stone, and Templar Commander Lovren, his position began to become more and more marginalized.
He is a martial artist, and he also yearns to kill enemies on the battlefield and gain glory.
However, he never forgot Lynn's trust in him, and did not want to neglect the guard's job because of greed.
He understood that Lynn's words to him about this must not be without purpose, but must have meant something.
But Hood had never been willing to think about these twists and turns.
He pondered Lynn's words.
After hesitating for a long time, he said to Lynn, "My lord, but what arrangements do you have for your subordinates?"
Hood was enlightened, and Lynn nodded in satisfaction.
As there are more and more secrets around him, it is too convenient to always have a guard who is not a system soldier by his side, and to do a lot of things.
Like now.
Lynn looked at the docks of the harbor, a box discarded by a merchant, and a pile of golden dragons scattered out.
He was tempted to go over and pick it up, put it in his arms, and exchange it for system points.
Then, exchange your points for a four-wheel siege hammer to help your soldiers penetrate the tall wooden gate of the sea gate faster.
However, with Hood as an 'outsider' present, it is clearly inappropriate to do so.
This may happen again in the future, possibly at a more critical juncture.
Unless Lynn is not afraid of these natives of Westeros and sees himself as an outlier, he must be careful not to show off his system's abilities.
Lynn took her greedy gaze away from the chest and moved to the wall ahead.
Lynn said slowly: "Hood, you also attended the previous military battle meeting, and I will occupy White Harbor City in the near future, if this can be done, I will have the capital to canonize vassals, do you know why I rejected Baron Ariesmen's proposal for peace talks in the first place? ”
Lynn's words calmed Hood's heart, but it also made his heart beat violently.
He had a premonition of something, anticipation and hesitation in his eyes.
For a commoner knight Hood, who started as a knight and gradually became a knight, he never even thought that he would one day become a lord with a territory.
Commoner knights, for nobles, a rich bounty is already an extra favor.
Hood's eyes widened at the boss, and he swallowed hard,
"Your Excellency...... You..."
Lynn turned his head and smiled faintly, "The only person who sits in charge of the Ram Gate is someone I can trust, Hood Valen, can I trust you?"
When Hood heard this, his already stunned face suddenly disappeared at all, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.
It took a long time for Hood to breathe heavily, before he recovered.
Finally, with a pop, he fell to his knees, pounding his right arm on his chest fiercely, and looked at Lynn with respect.
"Swear to serve your lordship to the death. He shouted excitedly.
"Very good, very nice. ”
Lynn opened his mouth in admiration, pulled out the Vareh short blade at his waist, pointed the tip of the sword towards Hood, Hood's face tightened, and then his right hand gently held the blade and placed it in the palm of his left hand.
Then, the blade slashed across the palm of his left hand, cutting a cut through the skin.
Under the bloody mouth, you can even see Sensen's white bones.
Lynn soothed her brow and looked directly at the guard who had been by her side since she came into this world.
For the first time, he revealed his ambitions, "Maybe one day in the future, you will be the only remaining lord of Westeros." ”
Hood was stunned and stared at Lynn for a long time, his eyes flashing with confusion, horror, hesitation, and flattery.
Finally, he shuddered and nodded emphatically.
