"It's easy to break the city, storm!" Will said lightly.

"Assault?" Lady Laura and Janessa looked at each other.

"Yes, rest well, eat and drink, and attack is right!" Will said.

"How?" said Lady Laura, cautiously.

"The goal of the first day, the griffin broke through the gates. Will said.

"It's good for griffons to attack, but there's a flaw, and the archers and spearmen of Ellenwood City will hurt griffins. ”

"They can't hurt the griffons, ma'am, and miss, just wait for the dawn to see me take the city." ”

"My lord and the griffons are attacking the city?" said Lady Laura, "and what are we doing here on a hurry?

"You are here, even if I and the griffin are under the city, the Earl of Ellenwood will definitely not come to attack, this is a suspicious strategy. Will said, "All right, we're tired from the march, so let's rest." ”

"Yes, Lord Will!" said Lady Laura and Jonessa.

The Earl of Anders Ellenwood was Prince Dowran's confidant and most effective assistant. Varys had conspired with Earl Anders Ellenwood, Prince Dowran, and Jon Clinton on how to overthrow Robert Baratheon's dynasty.

Anders owes his deep relationship with Prince Dowron to Oberon, the Red Viper.

When Oberon was sixteen years old, the Red Viper was found to be cheating with Lord Edgar Ellenwood's mistress, and the Count duel him for this. Due to Prince Oberon's origin and age, the duel was agreed to end at the sight of blood, and both were wounded. A few days later, Count Edgar died of festering and suppurating wounds, and it was believed that Oberon had poisoned his sword, and from then on, both Oberon's opponents and friends called him the "Red Viper".

Edgar is the grandfather of the current Earl Anders Ellenwood, and the Red Viper caused the death of Grandpa Anders, which quickly deteriorated the relationship between the Ellenwood family and the Martell family.

In order to mend the relationship between the two families, Prince Daolang exiled the Red Viper. As a result, the Red Viper had to leave Dorne, cross the Narrow Sea, wander the major free trade city-states, and became a mercenary in order to make a living.

After Prince Dolang exiled his own brother, he deliberately repaired the broken relationship with the Ellenwood family. The military fort of Ellenwood was too important for Dorne.

After the death of Count Edgar, his son Ormond became the heir. Ormond died not long after, and Anders Ellenwood inherited the family's domain and castle. Unlike his father, Anders took the initiative to repair relations with Prince Dowron and forgave Oberon, the Red Viper, which won Prince Dowran's friendship and appreciation. So Prince Dorant sent his prince Quentin Martell to the city of Ellenwood to be Anders' adopted son and attendant.

Prince Quentin grew up in the city of Ellenwood, and he was not good-looking, but became good friends with the earl's handsome son, Cletus. At present, Cletus has died in Valantis on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and Prince Quentin has also been taken to Winterfell by Will and imprisoned in the dungeons of Winterfell.

Will and Mance Rader are going to attack Dorne, and there are two families that cannot be tolerated and must be eradicated.

The first is the Dane family in Starfall City, if this family stands, the cohesion of the Dorne people is too strong, so Will and Jaime burned Starfall City to a ruin, and pulled out the spiritual symbol of the 'Dawn Excalibur' family. The second family is the Ellenwood family. The Earl of Anders, the family, was too loyal to Prince Doran to submit, and he represented a banner of loyalty among the nobles of Dorne, and Will decided to slaughter him.

Anders promised Princess Alyne to hold on to the city of Ellenwood for half a year, but he did not have many generals, and his son Cletus was a brave general, but he followed Prince Quentin to the other side of the Narrow Sea, and has not been heard from since. He lost a big helper. His daughter, Irons Ellenwood, was not a military general, but fortunately his son-in-law, Ser Roger Elion, was not bad, and although the city of Grace was sacked by the enemy, Roger Elion stayed with his father-in-law to assist Anders in garrisoning Ellenwood.

In addition, his nephew Archibald Ellenwood was also a fierce general, but unfortunately, Archibald also went to the other side of the Narrow Sea with Prince Quentin, and when Daenerys privately allied with Will in the Red Keep in King's Landing, and did not come to inform Prince Dolang, Anders was full of anger towards Daenerys and worried about his son and nephew.

Daenerys does not come to Dorne, which is also a big reason for Prince Dowran's decision to become independent, and Anders is a staunch supporter of independence.

Dreams are shattered, then independence, Anders believes that there is no second way for Dorn.

Dorne had never been conquered in history, and Anders was confident of victory.

*

In the early morning, a banner was suddenly erected on the hill opposite the city of Ellenwood: The crown buck of the House of Baratheon! The sentinels on the city wall saw it and immediately sounded the horn of the enemy: Woo-woo——!

The city of Ellenwood is suddenly facing the enemy!

Suddenly, without any warning from scouts, the enemy appeared on the opposite hill.

Count Anders was taken aback, and hurriedly put on his armor and hurried to the city wall to see.

The shouting and whistle of the centurions of the barracks rang incessantly.

Ellenwood is a big city, a huge city that grew from a small military fortress.

In order to enter Dorne from the Stormlands, the city of Ellenwood must be captured.

The city walls are very tall and made of huge rocks, and the east and west sides of the city are steep mountains, and the north and south sides are bone roads. The mountains are not next to the city, but are buffered flats, dug into two moats, connected to the natural streams formed in the mountains, and finally the moat disappears into the mountains to the east and flows into the Dorn Sea.

Count Anders came to the city wall, and saw that on the west hill and halfway up the hill, there were enemy troops, and there were many military flags, not just one royal flag, but the Burning Flame Flag, the Great Wall Black Crow Flag, the Crown Stag Banner, the Crown Skull Banner of King Mound City, the Vulture Baby Banner of Bremont City, the Sea Monster Banner of the Iron Islands, the Silver Ship Flag of the Faman Family in the West, and some strange flags, which Count Anders had never seen.

Ser Roger Elion also came to his father-in-law, Anders, and the centurions led the warriors up the walls to defend the west and north walls.

The sound of roaring footsteps was uniform, as if the city walls were shaking.

Chapter 0914-2

"What's the situation?" Roge incredulated.

The generals around him all had frightened expressions on their faces.

They saw two flags that should never have appeared on the opposite side: the Crown Skull Banner in Kingmound City and the Vulture Baby Banner in Bremont City.

Anders said: "The enemy's suspicious plan, the city of the king mound is built on the slope of the mountain, it is impossible to erect any siege equipment, it is even more dangerous than our city of Ellenwood, the enemy cannot take the city of the king mound, the army of savages is still outside the Crimson Mountains." ”

When the generals and Luo Ge heard this, they all nodded, and the generals calmed down.

However, on the opposite side of the hill, a mountain song with a local accent, sings the popular song of Dorne: the beautiful girl of Dorne. Immediately after that, another vulgar song of Dorne sounded: The Wife of the Dorne.

These are two songs that are popular among soldiers and are sung by everyone.

On the opposite hillside, gongs and drums rang out, as did the noise of the people, and some danced the dance of the Dorn.

Luo Ge's mouth was dry, and he had to formalize this very serious question: "Father, on the other side is the Dorn. ”

The generals looked at each other!

What happened overnight, without warning?

The Dornites hold high the banner of their enemies and sing and dance on the opposite hillside!

"This is a trick of the enemy, please invite the mountain people of the Crimson Mountains who know the language of Dorne, ignore it, we can just hold the city wall. Count Anders said in a deep voice.

"Father, could it be that Wang Zuncheng has been lost?" Luo Ge didn't want to ask this question, but he realized that he had to ask it now.

The situation suddenly changed, and it took time to figure it out, and the future and fate of the Dorns were at stake.

"No way!" said Count Anders, "if the enemy attacks the castle, we will receive the ravens of Count Manwudi." ”

"What if it's a surprise attack and you don't have time to release the ravens?" said Roger, "Father, please give me five hundred warriors, and I'll go to the opposite hillside and grab a few men and ask them, and I'll know what is going on." ”

"I'll tell the bachelor to let the ravens go to Wangzuka City. Count Anders said sharply, "The city of the mound is more dangerous than our city of Ellenwood, not even the dragon has conquered the city, Roger, do not talk nonsense, disturb the spirit of my army." ”

"Yes, Father!" replied Roger, bowing down.

"Go and tell the maester to release ravens to Count Manwudi. Anders ordered the guards beside him.

"Yes, sir!" the guard immediately trotted down the city.

Zheng!

A clear metallic sound made the eardrums tingle, and between heaven and earth, it seemed that even the sound of the wind had stopped.

Zheng!

Another terrifying high-pitched sound pierced the heavenly sounds in the mountains, and the sound was like a sharp knife splitting the space, and the birds and beasts in the mountains and the sand horse warriors in the city were all frightened!

With these two mighty and domineering sounds, on the top of the mountain opposite, two large flying birds flew, and in a blink of an eye, the flying birds became very huge, with hideous heads and tails, flashing colorful wings, golden hair, unimaginably large bodies, and between the two giant claws, grasping hundreds of pounds of boulders.

None of the thousands of soldiers in Elenwood City had ever seen such a monster.

"Griffon!" cried out Earl Anders.

Lord Will's griffons have spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but none of the Dorns have ever seen them. Anders had also seen it for the first time, and he had guessed that these were Will's two griffons. Besides, I have never heard of anyone who has such a powerful magical creature.

Such a big griffin, will it be bigger than a dragon?

After all, no one has ever seen the dragon, but the griffin has seen it with their own eyes.

On the griffin's back, there was also a man riding a black cloak, whose face could not be seen clearly, but he could feel that the body was as straight as a sword.

"Archers prepare!" shouted Count Anders.

Luo Ge immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Archers ready!"

"Archers prepare!" shouted the centurions.

On the western and northern walls, soldiers bent their bows and arrows and aimed them at the sky.

Will whistled, and the griffon swooped down, dropping the boulder diagonally in his hand.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the drawbridge winch of the western moat was smashed to pieces. The winch turned wildly, the rope was released, and the drawbridge crashed down the riverbank with a loud click, and the drawbridge almost broke from it, and the broken sawdust flew all over the place.

Bang!

There was another loud bang, and a boulder fell diagonally, and in the middle of the city gate, the huge and iron-clad city gate let out a painful groan, as if it was about to fall apart, and the huge gate shook, and several wooden planks were broken with a click, and the iron sheet was dented and torn apart, like a huge opening.

"Shoot the arrows!" said Count Anders' face changed dramatically.

The might of the griffin was something he hadn't thought of before!

Sir Roger shouted —— arrows, almost hoarse!

Shoot the arrows—— the centurions shouted together!

Whoosh!

Countless arrows were fired.

However, the arrow could not even touch the tail feathers of the griffin, which was too far away.

The griffin dropped the boulder and flapped its wings slightly, and it was out of range.

Two griffons hovered over the city of Ellenwood, clanging and chirping, and the soldiers on the walls of Ellenwood were so impatient that they wanted to reach out and cover their ears.

The sand horses in the city fell to the ground collectively, and their bones were soft and crisp!

Will gave the order, and the two griffons slowly landed on the opposite hillside. On the opposite side of the hill, a cheer rang out. On the walls of Ellenwood, the soldiers looked at each other.

The might of those two griffons was too strong for anyone to resist.

Count Anders tried to keep his mind steady, but his eyes were still terrified, and if the two boulders had smashed into the place where he stood, he would have become a patty.

The enemy could have relied on griffins to drop people directly into the city at night, and the natural danger of the city walls was weakened too much at once. Moreover, a boulder will almost break open the city gate, and a few more boulders will bring the city gate down.

The city gate, which he regarded as strong and indestructible, suddenly became fragile when hundreds of catties of boulders fell from the sky.

The power of this huge magical creature is no longer something that ordinary humans can resist.

Just now, the griffin swooped down and flew low, and he ordered the arrow, but the griffin could drop the boulder from the range. The soldiers of the city could only stare at them helplessly.

Roger came to the Count's side: "Father, we can't stop the griffons. ”

Anders also understands this, and who can stop the griffons from throwing boulders down from the sky, and his main castle will also be smashed.

"The herald, the carpenter rushed to repair the drawbridge winch, and repaired the city gates. The Count ordered loudly, "The women and children, the elderly and children in the city, all enter the underground passages of the city. All the archers switched to longbows and prepared hard arrows! swordsmen and spearmen found shelter and tried not to stand in exposed positions. ”

An hour later, the gates, drawbridges, and winches were all repaired. The broken parts of the gate were replaced with new planks, reinforced with new iron sheets, the winch was replaced with a spare winch, and the drawbridge was reinforced.

As if the enemy saw all this, this side had just been repaired, two clanging sounds, on the opposite hillside, two griffons took off again, still clutching two boulders on their paws, this time without giving any bow and arrow shooting distance, just in the high sky, the griffin dropped two boulders, boom twice, the boulder flew down diagonally, accurately smashed the city gate, the wooden planks of the city gate made a terrible cracking sound, the iron sheet on both sides burst open, and the other side protruded and cracked. The beams of the gate snapped and there was a loud bang.

The griffin dropped the boulder and flew down the opposite hillside, enjoying the meat given to it by its master.

Although it only takes a continuous bombardment to knock down the city gates, Will is not in a hurry. He gave Anders time to send carpenters to continue repairing the gates.

The strength, eyesight, and stone-throwing ability of an adult griffin are still above the dragon. The only weakness is that it is not immune to fire, nor can it breathe flames.
