Chapter 20 The Situation on the East Coast

After a general look at the distress letters sent by the major lords on the east bank of the northern border, Lynn finally surrendered to the summary battle report written by the old Hill Lord, and only then did he have a rough and complete grasp of the sudden invasion of the northern border.

Five days earlier, the White Harbor Navy had discovered that a large number of ships had appeared in the Narrow Sea heading for the eastern shore of the northern border, and that night the lords of Braavos and Loras sent messengers to White Harbor, asking them to bring the Essos army and caravan to enter the northern cities such as White Harbor for temporary residence.

However, at that time, Old Ciel's Lord Lynn had not returned from his absence, and he had no right to deal with the matter, so he politely refused.

At the same time, White Harbor, just in case of Lynn's absence, issued an order to warn the lords of the castles and coastal fishing villages along the east coast.

The lords were notified and withdrew their subjects to the castle, and at the same time were wary of the forced landing of the Essos in the Narrow Sea.

However, only two days passed.

That is, after the negotiation failed, on the third day, Buddha Xiao.

The City Lords of Braavos and Loras took the lead in leading hundreds of warships escaping from the two cities, carrying 3,000 soldiers from the Free City-States and nearly 6,000 fugitive Free City-States, and landed along the unguarded unguarded ports in the north during the high tide.

After landing, they first captured several remote fishing villages on the east coast.

In order to motivate the fighting spirit, he recruited more freemen who had taken refuge in Essos to join his army.

The lord of Braavos and the city of Rollas marched from the north and south, and the small fishing villages that were seized on the spot were distributed to the wanderers who were in urgent need of a settlement, and all the land and fishing boats that belonged to the people of the north were scattered to the freedmen who wandered in the narrow sea.

This move greatly stimulated the determination of the Free Folk to land with the armies of the two city lords, and for a time the prestige was great.

After that, there were many east coast village forts protected by Muzha Village were broken, among which the widow Wanghe several lords south of the Ram Gate lost Wanghai Village, and after the East Fishing Village, they did not report to Baigang at the first time, but concealed it, and organized the people and soldiers of the territory to prepare to retake their own villages, and after repeated defeats, they delayed the most precious time.

By the time the Gripen army had reacted to the garrison of White Harbor and the Widow's Wangcheng, the enemy had already crossed the coastline and scattered inland, completely losing the conditions for containment.

The concealment of the minor lords created favorable conditions for the smooth march of the Essos.

The more serious incident occurred three days earlier in the evening.

The lord of Braavos led fifty warships back to the Narrow Sea, and detoured from the sea back to the port outside the city of Ram Gate, which was close to the south of the widow's look.

In addition, Hood also sent cavalry to inform the nearest Gripen Regiment to be reinforced by a mixed battalion of the Gripen Regiment stationed after the attack on Widow Wang.

However, what he never expected was that before the reinforcements arrived, the western defense of the Ram Gate, which had been neglected, was attacked by a large number of enemies.

After landing from a remote fishing port, the Essos made a detour of the northern land route, breaking through the gate west of the Ram Gate with lightning speed.

This is related to the fact that after Hood learned in advance that the Narrow Sea was full of Essosian warships, he placed all the nearby subjects in advance into the Ram Gate, and when the first batch of Essos landed and crossed the northwest territory of the Ram Gate by land, they were not noticed by anyone.

In the secret report written by Master Hill, it is mentioned that Hood took care of one or the other, and although he personally wrote a recruitment proclamation at the beginning of the war, asking the people in the city to actively respond to the battle, he was finally unable to save the crisis at Ram Gate.

In a fierce battle, more than 1,000 people were killed in the Ram Gate garrison and the people in the city who responded to the defense, and Hood took advantage of the chaos to flee and disappeared.

The Lord of Braavos was the first to capture the first northern city for the wandering Essos.

The ram gate was breached too suddenly, too easily, and when several mixed formations of the Widow Hope Legion arrived at the castle and were ready to reinforce the situation, the situation was irretrievable, and when the commander of the reinforcements, Kantor, returned to the widow in anger and immediately sent a letter that the east coast had been invaded by the Essos, and the city of White Harbor realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, at this time, the city lord of Braavos and the city lord of Loras had been merged, and a large number of Essos, who were wandering north of the Narrow Sea, learned that there was a huge port to land, and as soon as the defense breach was opened, a thousand sails landed.

The Essos even held a celebration banquet that day, and elected a commander of the western expedition, the commander of Essos named Nadal, integrated all the Essos who landed in the north, gathered an army of nearly 10,000 armed Essos, and on the second day of the capture of the Ram Gate, left the city to continue to open up territory to the north land.

In the face of the attack, the lords of the villages and manors on the northern land were either caught off guard or unable to resist, and for a while the beacons continued to burn, until they encountered the Gripen Legion sweep army stationed in the northern fort of terror, which stopped the enemy's development further west of the northern border.

Seeing this, Lynn almost wanted to drop the letter angrily, and scolded: "This group of lords of the dog day are all rice buckets, and so is Hood, how did labor and management take the Ram Gate back then, he knows it well, how could he make the same mistake as the former city lord of the Ram Gate?"

The thin monkey listened to the general report of the messenger cavalry on the side, raised his head and looked at Lynn's demeanor worriedly, and asked cautiously, "My lord, is the situation very serious?"

"Although it was expected, but things are still trickier than expected?" handed the finished battle report to Han Niu to wrap, dragged his cheeks and thought for a moment, and replied to Sterling with a smile in the cold wind.

The Essos could not remain adrift in the Narrow Sea, they would choose to land in Westeros, and choose any opportunity from the east coast, unless a hundred thousand troops were sent to completely seal off the coastline.

However, the loss of Ram Gate still greatly surprised Lynn.

The city lord of Ram Gate was Hood, the head of Lynn's guards in the castle of Fishing Village Harbor at the beginning, and he was not afraid of the vicious pirates at all, Lynn did not expect that the first big mouth on the east coast would actually be in the castle under his control.

This news had a big impact on Lynn, because the area around the Ram Gate had been conquered, and the number of Essos would quickly grasp the news of the gold mines in the mountains northwest of the Ram Gate.

Once the gold mine was discovered by the people of Essos, Lynn's plan to return to the north to directly upgrade the system and expand his strength would be in vain.

It was a large mine with an annual output of nearly a few tons of gold bricks, and it was impossible to miss it at the stall where Lynn urgently needed a huge amount of gold dragon recharge and upgrade system.
