Chapter 0707: Take the Blood Gate Castle and Break the Battle Spirit
Mia Stark walked out of the cave, the guards already dressed and waiting for her orders. The herald issued warnings one station after another. After all, the suspended military corridor is miles long. In the direction of the Bloody Gate Castle, there was a deafening sound of fighting.
Some soldiers jumped out to watch, still busy putting on their trousers, some had bows on their backs but had forgotten to bring arrows, some were shouting for their companions, some were running forward in full gear, while others were running backwards.
The soldiers on the military promenade were all archers.
This military corridor was built halfway up the mountainside, several miles long, and firmly controlled the narrow valley road leading to the valley plain below, even if someone captured the Bloody Gate Castle, it would not be possible to enter the valley plain from below. Miles of road are covered by a rain of arrows.
Mia Stark gave the order—in the voice of Michelle Redford—and she wore Michelle's armor and helmet, and her voice was strange, as if she had damaged her vocal cords from a cold at night, but in the chaos of the situation, no one noticed it.
So the order of the chieftain Michel was issued: all the soldiers were fully armed and ready for battle, but they were not allowed to leave their garrisons: all were in place.
After a dozen breaths, the entire military corridor was filled with archers, and everyone was ready for battle, but they all looked in the direction of the Bloody Gate Castle, where the sound of fighting was even more violent, as if thousands of troops had attacked the castle.
The fire also burned, and some of the towers burst into flames.
Mia Stark gave a second order to the herald beside herald: no arrows should be released without the orders of Chief Michelle. Later, Mia Stark led four guards along the corridor to Bloodgate Castle to check on the enemy.
Inside the Bloodgate Castle, Will and Robb had already captured the leader of the main castle, Ser Buck, who was only wearing leggings and bracers, and had not yet had time to put on his armor. His centurion Bernie had his right hand cut off by Maggie Mormont's axe and had been captured alive. Some of his most powerful assistants, who used to be the most powerful swordsmen under the Demon Mountain, had died in the chaos of the night.
Maggie Mormont's axe pawn is probably the most suitable to win in such a melee, the axe weapon is first long, longer than the sword, and the second is heavier, much heavier than the sword, and when the axe goes down, the long sword is broken, the armor is cut open, and the human wall is smashed open, and the long sword cannot play this invincible smashing effect.
Five hundred axes were slashed together, and no wall could withstand such a fierce attack. A heavy axe is like a hammer, and any armor can easily break through the defenses.
The boulder attack of the two griffins also played a huge role, and any infantry array organized to defend could not stop a boulder falling from the air, and the boulder fell, and the formation immediately collapsed, and the axe soldiers followed to cover and kill, invincible.
The small Bloodgate Castle was soon taken down, the torches were lit one after another, and under Will's order, the soldiers searched every corner of the castle, and found out groups of hiding, all the soldiers from the west were killed, and the soldiers of the valley were gathered together and taken to the city gate square.
Squeak and rattle, several prisoner carts advanced from the city gates, and inside were ghouls.
Robb Stark ordered the door of the ghoul's prison cart to be opened, and Sir Buck and Centurion Bernie were pushed into the ghoul cart. Phew, the door of the cart was slammed back shut, and Buck and Bernie screamed in terror.
The ghoul was so powerful that it ignored Sir Buck's and Bernie's punches and kicks, and it hugged Sir Buck tightly, opening its mouth to bite Sir Buck's neck.
Sir Barker's howl echoed through the valley.
Will said lightly: "Soldiers of the Vale, this is the ghoul I captured from the ghost forest outside the Great Wall of the North, the long summer has passed, the winter is coming, the strange ghosts and ghouls will cross the Great Wall of Desperation and kill us, your current allegiance to the lord Lysa Tully, she has been controlled by Jaime Lannister, and Cersei Lannister has also become your lord in Griffon's Castle." ”
The hundreds of captured soldiers looked at each other.
"The last time you killed Eddard Stark and the royal courtiers, the Night's Watch of the Walllegion, and the garrison of King's Landing, this order was not issued by Lysa Tully, but by Jaime Lannister. Jaime Lannister killed the Valley Masters, who disguised themselves as the Valley Scholars and took control of and planned the last massacre. ”
The audience was shocked, the soldiers were in disbelief, and hundreds of people were silent.
Edmure Tully stepped forward: "I am Edmure Tully of the Riverlands, and my sister Lysa Tully will not order Eddard Stark to be killed. Duke Eddard Stark is a member of my Tully family, he is the husband of my sister Catelyn Tully, the Riverlands, the North and the Vale are a family, a large family, how could Lysa Tully order her sister's husband to be killed without any conflict? ”
Ahhh Centurion Bernie's right hand had been severed by Maggie's axe, unable to cope with the ghouls' attacks, and he cowered in a corner shivering.
Robb Stark walked up to the prisoner cart and pointed to Buck and Bernie in the prisoner cart: "Brothers in the Vale, these two people are named Buck and the other is Bernie, they are both executioners and murderers in the Magic Mountain in the West, why did they come here to be the leader? This is the Lannister's trick, the Bloodgate Castle is a military location, they need their own people to control the Bloodgate Castle and make sure that the Valley is under their control." ”
Will wore the gold badge of the King's Hand, and Robb Stark and the others immediately knelt down on one knee and greeted the Prime Minister in unison.
Will motioned, Robb stood up, and the rest of the generals stood up.
Will said, "Brothers of the Vale, I swear to you in the name of the Hand of the King, the Regent, and the guardian of the whole realm, that we have come to the Vale this time, our enemy is the Lannisters of the West, to avenge the garrison of Eddard Stark and his fellow guards; I will not kill you, you are innocent, and now I let you go, hoping that you will go back and tell your lord, as well as your relatives and friends, what happened tonight, and tell them that the strangers and ghouls are coming. Let's go. ”
The iron barrel-like formation parted from it and made way for it.
With a bang, the soldier of the valley drew the dagger from his waist and threw it on the ground, and then walked out tentatively. And then the second person, the third person. Some of the fighters' steel spikes, daggers, and knives were pulled out and thrown on the ground, and then hurried away along the array passage.
The departure of hundreds of Vale warriors will bring back hundreds of the same information that will soon shake the resolve of the Vale nobles to resist.
It is not the Valians who have come to take revenge, but the Lannisters hiding in the Eagle's Nest, who are unwilling to sell their lives for the Lannisters. Even if there are many nobles who have received the benefits of the Lannisters have the will to fight, the soldiers under their command will not have the will to fight.
