Chapter 0937: The overall situation is settled: Besieging Gaoyin City
Mance Rader called for two hourglasses and started the timer. If Asha doesn't win against Alen within the time of two hourglasses, then Alean wins.
Arene fired several shots in quick succession, forcing Asha to retreat.
The Dorn soldiers cheered in unison.
But Asha's feelings were different, the power of Alian's gun was weakening, the speed of the gun was slowing down, and after she dropped the helmet, Asha could see her face covered with sweat.
This was a sign that Alen's strength was about to run out.
Asha also wore chain mail and knew the weight of this one.
When a person's physical strength weakens, her technique will be deformed, her speed will be slowed down, and her reflexes will be sluggish.
There's no doubt about that!
Asha knew she had won.
Her injured left arm did not affect her left sword, which was used relatively sparingly in tactics focused on defense.
Sure enough, after Arlen attacked with several shots, it was as if the last burst of power exploded, and the speed of the gun slowed down significantly, and Asha launched a counterattack, the long sword opened the long spear, and the short sword immediately followed. With just one thrust, Arlene had to dodge, but her body and footwork were not as sensitive as Asha's, and she heard a ding, Asha's short sword hit Arlene's chain mail, and Alene dodged, but Asha's sword failed to pierce.
Coax!
The naval soldiers of the Great Wall burst into cheers.
The next situation took a turn for the worse, Asha's long sword and short sword slashed in a row, hitting Arlene's spear several times, although Aliann used his strength to turn into force and did not let Asha's slash fall into place, but every time the sword and gun were fired, the barrel of the gun had to leave a scratch.
Arlene was unable to retrieve her spear in time for Asha's sword attack. When swords and guns are in a confrontation, the guns always have to be a little slower.
The smiles on the faces of the Dorne soldiers stiffened.
Their lives were all on Princess Alian's spear.
Princess Arlene's lack of support gave Asha confidence, and her power became stronger and faster. The sand of an hourglass was less than half, and Asha had already turned from defense to offense.
This pressure, Princess Aleen was even more difficult, she was bullied by Asha, the long sword was slashed horizontally, the short sword was stabbed, and the spear was completely stopped outside. Alen had to turn and flee. Asha laughed and danced with both hands, as swift as a lion, and pursued closely. Suddenly, Alen turned around and fired a shot, lightning fast, as if a different person, Asha made a blocking posture with both swords in both hands, but it was still too late, the speed of this shot was too fast, too accurate, poof, and the spear hit Asha's right shoulder.
The audience was silent. At this moment, it was as if the sea had stopped its waves.
Arlene retracted her strength in time, and as soon as the spear pierced Asha's shoulder bone, she immediately retracted her strength.
Send and receive freely, handy.
Asha's sword was just slashed, and it took too much time. With a thud, the twin swords slashed at the barrel of the gun, and the barrel snapped and snapped.
If Arlene didn't relent, the shot would pierce Asha's right shoulder, making her unable to wield her right sword for the rest of her life.
Arrene dropped the barrel of her gun and raised her hands, staring at Asha without saying a word.
Asha can refuse to admit defeat, and Alen can't refute it. But if she still has honor, she knows that it was Alen who showed mercy and spared Asha's life.
Alianne was able to pierce Asha's right shoulder when she was caught off guard, chase after Asha staggered back, and killed Asha.
Previously, Alen was chased and beaten by Asha, all of which were tactics to lure the enemy, and they were all preparations for this return shot.
It is true that Arlen's physical strength is not much, but it is not so fast that it will not weaken so quickly. She used a little trick to lure the enemy in it, first feint to lose, and then see the opportunity to counterattack.
Asha really hit the plan!
Asha stared at Arlene, feeling that this princess was beautiful and strong in martial arts, and she fell in love with her in her heart. Asha is bisexual and likes both brave women and strong men.
Asha sheathed her sword, and the people on the battleship and the big merchant ship looked at her, waiting for her to announce the victory.
In terms of competition, Aryanne has already won, but if there is a duel, although Asha is shot, she does not fall, and she can fight again. Asha cut off Arlene's spear, and Arlene only had half of the barrel left in her hand, and if she didn't throw it away and raise her hand in surrender, she would be killed by Asha on the spot.
So in this duel, it can also be said that Asha won and Alen lost.
Asha looked at the hourglass, the time for the first hourglass was coming soon.
Asha walked up to Arlene and said with a smile, "Thank you for the princess's mercy." ”
Alene was nervous, the reputation of the Iron People had always been bad, and the reputation of the Greyjoy family was also very bad.
Asha grabbed Arlene's raised hand and announced in a loud voice, "Princess Aliane wins, I lose." She stabbed me in the right shoulder with a spear, but she could also stab me in the chest, and at that speed, I couldn't stop it before it stabbed me in the body. ”
The Dorne soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
They were given a way out.
Mance Rader, who was also a man of credibility, immediately ordered the waterway to be cleared for the Dorne soldiers to come to the large merchant ship, and then Princess Aleen was surrounded by Asha and her guards on the battleship of the Great Wall Navy.
The Dorne soldiers were stunned, most of them had been transferred from other merchant ships, and they thought that Princess Arrene would be able to go with them. After finding the Great Merchant Ship and setting sail away, the Dorne soldiers learn that the princess is fighting for their lives, and that she, winning or losing, is a prisoner of the enemy.
As the merchant ship slowly departed, Arlene and Asha and Mance Rader went to the flagship, and she stood on the bow of the flagship, and watched her men leave, shedding two lines of tears. On the big merchant ship, the soldiers of Dorne knelt in the dark, and many soldiers wept silently.
It wasn't until the big merchant ship sailed out of this sea safely and broke away from the encirclement of the warship that there were tears on Alian's face.
Asha stood beside her and said, "Princess Arlene, there's nothing to be sad about. I used to be the commander of a fleet in the Iron Islands, but after being defeated by Lord Will, I surrendered to him, and I am not doing well. ”
Alen felt so uncomfortable that she didn't say a word.
She really didn't have a good impression of Will, this man was too cunning and treacherous, and every time he fought, he never saw the light. The thoughtful person of his father, Prince Michiro, also guessed Will's mind wrong every time, and many times it was the opposite result. Whether he goes to sea or stays in Yang Halberd City, he will not be the opponent of a scheming person like Will, since he has already been a prisoner of the other party, then he should come whatever he wants, as for surrendering, and then working with Will, it feels disgusting to think about Princess Arlene.
She didn't like to work with such a person who had no honor, no integrity, no morality, and no integrity, and Will was like a treacherous and cunning demon, and it would be impossible for her to surrender like Asha.

Chapter 0937 of 2
Prince Dorou was not idle in Halberd City, he continued to write letters to Daenerys, mainly writing about the past Targaryen royal family, and several generations of kings or princesses were married to the Martell family. In the bloodline of the Martell family, there has long been the blood of the dragon people, and in the blood of the dragon people, there has long been the blood of the Martell family.
Blood is thicker than water!
Prince Dorou wants Daenerys to speak to Will and spare the Martell family. Please also ask Daenerys to be more lenient to Duke Alen on the other side of the Narrow Sea, after all, both historically and contemporarily, the two families are related by marriage.
Prince Michiro is not afraid of death, his life is better than death. He just hoped that with the help of Daenerys' might and hegemony, the bloodline of the Martell family could continue and flourish again in the near future.

When Princess Aleen defeated Asha, Will's army made a detour to the south of the city and completed the siege of the Dark Star Geralt Dayne.
And the city of Bremont, the day after Geralt Dayne's night attack was routed, chose to surrender.
Jingle Shirt and Thunder Fist Tormund had to surrender 4,000 men.
This was the first time they had received a captive since entering Dorne.
Then Jingle Shirt and Tormund return the city of Blemont to Lady Laura. Lady Laura led thousands of warriors to storm the middle of Geralt's army during Geralt Dayne's night raid, and also made a great achievement.
The change of the land and the distribution of grain in the city of Bremont was carried out under the auspices of Lady Laura herself, which brought Lady Laura's reputation to the highest point in the city of Brighton, surpassing her previous honors.
The plebeians petitioned to support Lady Laura as governor of the city of Bremont.
The city of Blemon had been the territory of Lady Laura, and she finally followed the trend of history and made a change. Only this was after being beaten by Nymeria, the daughter of the Red Viper. The Blemont family, which she leads, has no turning back.
Jingle Bell and Tormund witnessed Lady Laura's transformation of the city of Blemont, and the nobles were stripped of their titles and put on an equal footing with the commoners. All the nobles who submitted were given a certain amount of land and property, and their privileges were completely abolished. Madame Laura, who was temporarily the governor of the city of Bremont, appointed new officials and reformulated the tax policy. Tinker Shirt didn't know anything about these details and management, and they didn't care about it, so they led their army to attack the city of Gaoyin.
Since then, the cities of Bremont and Starfall in the western part of Dorne have been completely taken over by Will's forces and embraced by the civilians. These civilians included hunters, farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, and small traders. And these people make up ninety percent of the total population.
The overall situation of the place taken over by Will's army was initially decided, and even if the Martell family and nobles rose again, it would be difficult to win the hearts and minds of the people. The commoners, who had acquired the right to land, houses, and free trade, would no longer return their power and assets to the nobles.
Dorne has not been conquered for millennia, and the Targaryens, no matter how powerful they are, have not conquered Dorn even if they come with dragons, because they always like to rob and slaughter civilians, and treat all Dornas as enemies. They were caught up in a war where even the children took up arms against their invasion.
The strategy developed by Will and Mance Rader was to suppress only the nobles and benefit the commoners. Civilians, on the other hand, account for twenty percent of the population in Dorne. The change of depriving the nobles of their privileges and handing over power to the commoners was unprecedented, but it opened the eyes and minds of the commoners, making them understand that they could also have the same power as the nobles, and they could also get rich and respected through labor and trade, just like the nobles.
These things are like a plague, once they are contaminated a little, they cannot be shaken off.
Geralt Dayne of High Hidden City released many ravens to Halberd City and the Salt Coast, and without exception, he received no reply. Geralt didn't know anything about anything in the east and south of Dorne, in the center. Nor did he receive any raven letters from Halberd City and other cities. Geralt Dayne didn't know anything about the overall situation.
The enemy forces to the north were outnumbered, stronger, and morale was high because they were embraced by the civilians. Geralt Dane cowered in the city of Hide, because the food and money in the city had long been collected by Will and Jaime and others, and his 8,000 troops needed food, shelter, and use, and all the grain warehouses in the city were empty except for houses.
The 10,000 troops left behind by Oberon also had very limited means of subsistence. Their original purpose was to pursue Will's legions, and light and simple was their standard, and they were destined not to carry much food with them.
If there is no food, it is natural to collect it from the people.
None of the people willingly handed over their grain to the army and the noble lords, not to mention that they had been forcibly collected by the Red Viper in advance for the next year's taxes. But the people can't fight the army, Geralt Dayne ordered the requisition, and the food of the civilians was continuously transported into the city, causing the people of the entire region to complain.
Will and the others led the army to send money and food to the people, while Geralt and the nobles forcibly collected money and food from the people, compared with the two, Will and his army were more popular with the people.
When Will and his army abandoned their assault on the city of Halberd on the eastern coastline and moved on to attack the central and western parts of Dorne, the nobles from all over the country surrendered. Along the way, Will's army encountered no real obstacles, and led his army to the west of Dorne.
Dorne's three-way army: Oberyn's army was broken up and half of the soldiers surrendered, Alen led the southern army back to defend the city of Gills, protected Prince Dolang, and then accepted Prince Dolang's suggestion to gather merchant ships to cross the Narrow Sea, and the most powerful army in the whole of Dorne, the most powerful army left, was Geralt Dayne's more than 8,000 men in the city of Goin.
When Will completed the siege of the city from the south, Clankbell and Thunder Fist Tormond also completed the siege of the city from the north. Geralt Dane and his army have become fish in a net.
So, Will chose a good day with a good wind and sunshine and ordered the siege of the city.
The warriors shouted and rushed towards the city, and the gates of the city slowly opened......
