Prince's Pass, Chinese Military Tent.

Prince Oberon Namelos Martell, nicknamed "The Red Viper", is the irascible and fierce younger brother of Prince Dowland. Under his tent sat eight illegitimate daughters who were loyal to him and loved him very much, known as "Sand Snakes". His mistress, Ellalia Shad, sat in his arms, arms wrapped around his neck like snakes, and the two of them were making love.

The eight illegitimate daughters giggled, admiring their father's flirtatiousness.

Red Viper was a very intelligent man, who once went to study in the school city and built a multi-piece metal necklace, which showed that he was proficient in several fields, but soon he got tired of learning and went to work as a mercenary on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and later formed a mercenary team himself.

He is very cruel to his enemies, and likes to smear his sword and gun with the venom of poisonous snakes, the Red Viper is a highly venomous snake in the Dorne Desert, and the name of this poisonous snake is a fitting character.

The red viper is cruel to its enemies, likes to catch poisonous snakes, raise poisonous snakes and squeeze out venom for later use, and he is also very charming, he is a bisexual. Others think that illegitimate children are a very dishonorable thing, but Red Viper does not think so, he will do everything to find his illegitimate children, and raise them, teach them martial arts, literacy, and use his best efforts to make his illegitimate children successful.

It's just the only regret that the illegitimate sons of the Red Viper are all daughters.

Bastard daughters are the object of spurning, but here in Red Viper, he pampers and raises his illegitimate daughters as princesses, which leads to his eight illegitimate daughters adoring their fathers. They can do without their mothers, but they don't want their fathers.

In order to find an illegitimate daughter, the red viper once traveled a lot of places, killed a lot of people, and finally killed the girl's mother, because after giving birth to a daughter for her, he exchanged the child for a sum of money.

Each of these illegitimate daughters has enjoyed the dignity and harsh martial arts training of the royal family since childhood, and the Red Viper loves his daughters very much, treating them equally, and he has also become the idol of his own daughters.

Red Viper is dissolute by nature, and there is no formal marriage match, wherever he goes, he gets along with women wherever he goes, and after learning that the other party has given birth to a child, he will do everything possible to find his child.

Since there was no formal marriage, his daughters were illegitimate daughters, and Dorne's illegitimate sons were all named Shad.

In Dorne, the Red Viper also loves one kind of people: the people of Dorne.

In the hearts of the people of Dorne, the number one person in the list is not Prince Michiro, whose knee joints are so red and swollen that he can't walk, but the red viper. The love and respect of the people for the Red Viper came from his love for the people, and he treated his people as if they were his own daughters, which made his prestige unrivaled in the realm of Dorne.

His terrible name of the Red Viper and his love for his people impressed his enemies and friends alike.

Just after breakfast, Red Viper and Ellalia were gnawing at each other's lips in the Chinese military tent, and a series of hurried footsteps ran from outside the tent, the curtain was opened, and a teenager broke in.

The two Shad sitting on the outermost side immediately stood up, but the Red Viper looked at the visitor with a smile on his face, he made a gesture, and the two Sand Snakes who had drawn their weapons stuck their short knives into the leather buckles on their legs.

Of the eight Shad, the youngest was only 12 years old and the oldest was over 30 years old. Every woman is a sand snake, beautiful and deadly.

"Sir Aderic Dayne, the next time you come in, be sure to let me know. A sand snake had disgust in his contemptuous tone.

Adric Dane knelt down on one knee: "Report to the Prince, Starfall City has been burned down by Will and Jaime last night, the Dawn Sword in the family has been taken away, and the territory has been divided among Will's people. ”

The red viper stood up suddenly: "Whose news?"

"The ravens released by the Dane family in High Hidden City. ”

The Daine family in High Hidden City is a branch of the Daine family, not far from Starfall City.

"How many enemies are coming?"

"About ten thousand. ”

The prince's face changed.

Ten thousand warriors would not be able to withstand the attack of Starfall City and High Hidden City, which had no protective power.

"Have we been tricked?" said Elaria, "and the enemy is not coming from the Prince's Pass and the Bone Road, but from the sea to the west. ”

"No, they should be divided into two routes, we only know the news by land, we don't know the news by sea. The red viper snapped, and the green tendons on its neck popped out. According to the information of the spies and the nobles, the army of more than 40,000 savages had already entered the river bay, and the troops were divided into two routes, one through the prince's pass and the other on the bone road, and in about seven days they would enter the edge of the Crimson Mountains.

"Prince, in order to keep the city from being burned, the city surrendered without a fight last night, but the land was still distributed to its people, and the debts owed by the tenants to the Dane family were all forgiven. Documents, real estate, deeds, and lease vouchers were all destroyed in public. The Dark Star, Ser Geralt Dayne, is already gathering the warriors of High Hidden City, and we ask the Prince's permission to lead our troops back to reclaim the territory. ”

"How can you be an opponent of ten thousand, less than a thousand?" said the Prince, "it will take two days and two nights to march from here to Starfall City, Obaya Shad, you go and inform Count Manwudi that he and Lady Laura Bremont will come here for a meeting, and I will arrange for them to join forces to guard the Prince's Pass, and the rest of the army and generals will follow me south to Starfall City for a decisive battle with Will." ”

"Yes, Father!" Obaya Shad departed immediately.

Obaya is the illegitimate daughter of Oberon Martell and an Old Town prostitute, the eldest of eight famous sand snakes, and is over thirty years old this Chinese New Year's Eve.

Similar to the Red Viper, Obaya is irascible and irritable, she sees herself as a samurai and focuses on the martial arts, using spears and whips as weapons. She is cold by nature, agile and strong. She was tall, with slender legs and mouse-brown hair, and like her father, she slept almost all the generals and young knights in the army.

Her violent personality is as outstanding as her martial arts, and she is the most trusted general of the Red Viper.

The other seven sand snakes all took action, walked out of the tents, and gathered their troops.

There are about 20,000 troops stationed at the Prince's Pass, and the Red Viper will take away 15,000 people, leaving about 5,000 people to guard the Prince's Pass.

The fortified city in the Prince's Pass was garrisoned by Count Manwudi, and it was also the Earl's family domain: Wangzuka Castle. Like the Erenwood family's military forts, the city was built on a steep part of the road, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, just in time to cut off the road from the Bend to Dorne.

The Manwudi of Wangzuka City are an ancient Dorne aristocracy that has guarded the road to Dorne for hundreds of years.

The coat of arms of the Manwudi family is a white skull with a golden crown on a black background. The family crest and the name of the lockdown are a reference to the killing of an ancient King of the Riverlands by the founder of the family.

Soon, Count Manwudi came in, and the red viper said: "The enemy's wild army has entered the riverbend, but it will take seven days to enter the Crimson Mountains, and it will take at least seven days to reach the city of Wangzuka through the Crimson Mountains, and the other group of enemies, led by their prime minister Will, attacked Starfall City by ship last night, and the army that came is about 10,000 people, I need to lead my troops to Starfall City and Will's decisive battle, I will quickly annihilate the enemy, and then rush back to garrison Wangzuka City." ”

Count Manwudi was surprised to learn that there was no information about a naval attack on Dorne.

Count Manwudi asked the prince to lead his troops to destroy the enemies who entered Dorne, and as for the army of savages, as long as they entered the Crimson Mountains, no matter how many people there were, they would not let them break through the castle.

It is true that the city has never been breached in hundreds of years, and even the dragons of the Targaryen family have only burned the surface layer of rocks, and they are powerless to do anything about the tunnels in the belly of the mountain.

The earl's name was Dagorse Manwudi, and he had two sons, both of whom were valiant and good at fighting, and a younger brother, who admired the prince and practiced spears hard, and was very good at spearmanship.

Chapter 0905-2 The crisis of the Martell family

"Earl, you and Lady Laura Bremont have been guarding the city of the mound, and no matter what happens, we must not underestimate it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Laura Blemond had a son and a daughter, and the family castle was called Blemont City, located on the edge of the Crimson Mountains, not far from the city of the king's mound. The soldiers of this family are adept at climbing high mountains, and bow and arrow and climbing are their specialties. Blemon's family coat of arms is a black vulture clutching a pink baby against a yellow background. They are conceited and agile and cruel, so they compare themselves to the black vultures that take the boys.

Soon, Lady Laura arrived, taking her daughter, son, and five knights of the family with her.

The Red Viper told Lady Laura about the sudden military situation, asking her to cooperate with Count Manwudi and firmly guard the Prince's Pass, and Madame agreed, and took the initiative to take on the task of scouting.

Blemon's soldiers were the best scouts in the Crimson Mountains, climbing mountains and mountains, climbing trees and wading through water, and coming and going with ease.

The Red Viper arranged military affairs, ordered the army to assemble, and set off in the direction of Starfall City, so the army stationed at the prince's pass pulled out camp one after another.

Red Viper had just hit the road with his eight Sand Snake daughters and Ellaria, when another scout arrived with an urgent letter from Prince Michiro.

The red viper was suspicious in his heart, and when he opened the letter, his face changed and changed.

"What happened, Prince?" asked Ellaria, the Earl of Manwudi, and Lady Laura.

The eight sand snake daughters all had grim faces.

For the first time, they saw their father's nervousness.

Even in the face of mountain bears and poisonous snakes, my father has never been so nervous.

Obaya had lived with her father for more than twenty years, and had never seen her father look serious about anything. He always destroys powerful enemies in the middle of a joke, and even if he loses in battle, his father is always graceful and calm, never nervous.

"Last night, the town of Slats was breached by a powerful navy, and all the wooden houses and houseboats were destroyed by fire, and all men, women, and children were killed by the enemy. The lemon grove surrendered without a fight, and the city of divine grace was breached by them at dawn this morning, and all the food, weapons and armor, horse feed, carriages and ox carts in the city were all robbed. But this team only robbed the nobles and spared the people, and did not invade the ordinary people on both sides of the Green Blood River. ”

"Prince, you said they killed all the people of Slatty Town. ”

"Yes, they only killed all the people of Slatch, and they did nothing to the people of other towns. ”

Lady Laura gasped: "The enemy is smart this time, they are buying people's hearts. ”

"I'm not worried about the people of Dorne, if we win, they will naturally surrender, no matter how much benefit Will and the others promise them. ”

Count Manwudi worried: "Your Majesty, in this way, the people of Dorne will not be hostile to the invading enemy, they will only kill the nobles and rob them all, but they will not harm the people, and most of the people will be happy to hide." If we want to win the enemy, we need the common hatred of our people. ”

The red viper took a deep breath and spat out fiercely, "You're right, Count. This time the enemy is different from all the enemies, they win the war, and they divide the money and land to the common people, and if they lose, the people will not resent them, because they do not harm the common people. In the past, the enemies who came to invade Dorne have pointed their swords at the civilians, burning and looting. ”

The Red Viper is a man who loves his people like a son, and he understands that the enemy thinks the same as he thinks, and that if a ruler wants to gain a foothold, he must win the hearts and minds of the people.

The Red Viper's actions have a high prestige in Dorne, and this prestige is built on the hearts and minds of the people. This time, the prime minister of the enemy personally led the troops, and what he did was the same as his purpose, which was to win the hearts and minds of the people. And to divide the land of the nobles to the commoners, the red viper can't do it, but the other party can.

The Red Viper sensed that the enemy's political means were too strong this time.

The enemy's propaganda that they want to change the world of Dorne, let the people change their way of life, and completely eradicate the Martell family, this is not an empty slogan, they have a whole set of political methods!

"The soldiers are divided into three ways, which is something we didn't expect at all. The Red Viper decided not to think about the other side's powerful political tactics, "Militarily, the enemy's land route turned out to be only a feint, and the real attack was on the sea to the east and west. There were not many enemies to the east, 5,000 men, and 10,000 troops were sent back from the Bone Pass at Ellenwood, which was enough to drive the enemy into the sea. ”

The red viper was afraid of the instability of everyone's military spirit, and did not dare to tell the enemy's military intelligence on the unicorn. The unicorn is a mythical beast in the sea, an overlord on land, and a magical creature. The war horses in the south will be frightened and flee when they hear the sound of the unicorn, and if the war horse does not fear the unicorn, it takes many trainings.

In Dorne, horses are different from other horses, horses are small, commonly known as sand horses, and horses are still very thin and do not grow much meat because the weather is too hot here. The advantage of being able to run on the sand, recognizing quicksand, not sinking into it, and being heat-resistant and enduring, just like a camel.

However, when Shama meets a unicorn, it can only be completely crushed.

One unicorn is remarkable, and the enemy is said to have hundreds of them this time. This only illustrates one point, the enemy's prime minister, Will, who conquered the Skags in the northern sea.

The red viper's heart sank.

The Martell family, which has been undefeated for thousands of years, really met the most powerful opponent this time, the other party has no dragon, but knows how to buy the hearts of civilians, which is the root cause of the Targaryen royal family, which has launched many military attacks, has never been aware of.
