Chapter 0571: The Soldiers' Choice
(Watching celebrities tear x, delayed the update, sorry!)

Boom!
With a loud bang, the soldier fell from the moat, causing a huge splash of water.
Boom!
There was another loud bang, and the second soldier fell from a high altitude into the moat.
Will's voice came from above: "Those who do not respect the king's order and do not go north to fight against the strange spirits will be punished with death." The nobles did not send troops or money or food to support those who went north to fight against the ghosts, which was to resist the king's order and exterminate the clan. ”
Two griffons hovered over the Golden Tooth City, and the sound of the clanging sound made the city's warhorses weak and weak.
The soldiers and civilians of the whole city all looked up at the two flying beasts in the sky, and their fighting spirit was seriously weakened.
Will also said: "The soldiers and people of Golden Tooth City, the strange spirits will attack us in winter, the Great Wall is the only barrier for us to prevent the invasion of the strange ghosts, all men with combat power should and must go to the Great Wall, this is related to our life and death, any opponents, are with the strange ghosts, and we are enemies." We have captured the soldier ghouls of the strangers, and the ghouls are under your city, open the gates, or come out and see the ghouls that cannot be killed with a sword. Ghouls can't be killed, and when we are killed by ghouls, we all become ghouls. ”
Will rode around the Golden Tooth City on the back of the flames, shouting down over and over again.
Under the walls, an arrow rang out, and Edwin Frey ordered a sharpshooter soldier to shoot a long arrow with the black hand of a severed ghoul.
The long arrow landed at Sir Leo's side.
The guards and generals immediately swarmed over.
The black hand on the long arrow flipped flexibly, and its five fingers were like five arthropods, and it 'stood up' with the arrow tied to its 'body' and crawled forward quickly.
The crowd exclaimed, hurriedly making way for it.
The black hand quickly climbed to the wall, and one end of the long arrow hit the wall, and the black hand fell. But its five fingers bent hard, and it stood up again, like a nimble little monster, and the five fingers rotated, and it rushed forward again.
The soldiers shouted loudly and onlookers, and there were more and more people.
Leo drew his long arrow, slashed the arrow on the black hand, and broke the string, and the black hand took off the restraints and crawled faster towards the crowd. A guard stepped forward, stretched out his foot, and stepped on the black hand. The five fingers of the black hand have the front knuckles exposed outside the boots, and the knuckles are constantly bent.
"My lord, let's open the gates!" said the first general.
The soldiers all looked at Sir Leo.
Sir Leo looked up at the griffons hovering in the sky and was silent.
Will's cry came down: "Leo Lyford, do you obey the command to go north to kill the strangers, or do you disobey the king's orders and become our enemies?"
"Lord Will, can I go out of town and see the ghouls first?" Leo shouted into the sky.
"Of course, anyone who knows about propaganda of the Aliens and Ghouls is also our friend, and anyone who stands with us against the Aliens and Ghouls is our comrade-in-arms. ”
"Okay, let's get out of town!"
"Sir Leo, if you still fight against the king's order after going out of the city to see the ghouls, we will have to break the Golden Tooth City, and any warriors and nobles who refuse to go north to fight the wraiths will be punished with death. ”
"Lord Will, you have no right to decide our life and death. Leo said coldly.
"I have, I am the hand of His Majesty Shireen's newly appointed king, and the Seven Kingdoms will soon receive orders from His Majesty Shireen. ”
"No, you are wrong, His Majesty in the Westlands is Tommen Baratheon, and until His Majesty Joffrey is found, Tommen is the true King of the Seven Kingdoms. ”
"Well, Sir Leo, if you insist, don't blame me for breaking your gates. Will said coldly, "There is only one true king of the Seven Kingdoms, and that is Her Majesty Shireen Baratheon. ”
"No, Lord Will, we are willing to go north to fight the strangers and ghouls, but our Duke Kevon has told me through the ravens that they have embraced Tomman Baratheon as king. ”
Will said coldly, "Anyone who supports Tommen Baratheon as king must be eliminated. With a roar, the two griffons flew away, and in an instant they were among the clouds.
The soldiers on both sides looked up and watched Will come and go like gods. The two griffons give the Westlands a huge impact. The body and tail of a lion, the wings, beak and talons of an eagle.
Under the walls, Stevren urges Leo to open the gates and come out to watch the ghouls. Farther away, Robert Stark ordered the army to be divided into three armies, left, center, and right, and approached the drawbridge.
On the city wall, the guards beside Leo pierced the ghoul black hand on the sword with their sword, and the five fingers of that hand twisted strangely and terrifyingly.
"My lord, let's open the city gates!" said the general again. Since their defeat in the West, they have believed in Stannis I, and after Stannis I's death, the latest message they received from the king was Shireen Baratheon. And the king Tommen Baratheon, whom the Westside privately recognized, was only known to the great nobles of the West. The soldiers below were still in the dark. However, the soldiers were loyal to the noble lords, many of whom were loyal for generations, and the power of the noble lords was the greatest in their own jurisdiction.
This was an era when the aristocracy was in power, not a high degree of royal centralization, and the royal family was just the largest aristocratic arm.
Boom Boom!
Robb's three armies, left, center, and right, advanced and came to the moat. They could rush over the drawbridge and hit the gates at any moment. The winch of the drawbridge had been smashed, and the defenders could not raise the drawbridge.
Stevren was still urging Leo to make a decision sooner.
On the walls, the soldiers also hoped that Sir Leo would open the gates and accept Will and Robb's army.
They had no idea of the nobles' tricks, Eddard Stark's death, or that Storm's End had fallen to Kaivon. In the whole south, Kayvon and Tyrell already have an absolute advantage.
If the Seven Kingdoms were a unit, now Cayvon and the Tyrells occupy the south, the Great Wall legions are allied with the north and the Riverlands, and the west and the Vale are on Cayvon's side, and only the royal terrain has become a power vacuum.
Robb Stark rejected Stevren's offer, and he stood by the drawbridge surrounded by the soldiers: "Sir Leo, either you will open the gates and accept the king's orders, or we will break the gates and punish you for treason." ”
Blackfish Brynden Tully ordered the guards to blow the horn for the siege.
The warriors drew their swords, and the archers drew their bows and arrows, ready to attack the city.
Zheng Zheng Zheng!
In the sky, Will and the two griffons are back and forth, the griffons clutching two larger boulders in their claws.
Will's voice shouted from the sky: "Sir Leo, open the gates and accept the king's orders, or I will smash them and put you to death." Disobeying the king's orders will result in the extinction of the Raffled family. ”
"Your Excellency!" the guards and generals around him said in unison.
None of them could stop the fall of the boulders in the sky. The drawbridge had been lowered, and the gates were vulnerable to the bombardment of boulders falling from the sky.
"Open the door!" said Sir Leo gloomily.
Immediately a burst of cheers erupted on the city wall, and the soldiers raised their swords and shouted, which was unstoppable and unstoppable.
Faced with the threat of the Wraiths and Ghouls, the soldiers of the Golden Tooth City chose to fight the Wraiths instead of the Terrans killing each other.
