Chapter 0932 The net is open, and the four roads are not passable

Yang Halberd City, Sand Boat Fort.

Thousands of years of the castle bear the history of the old Martell family.

After the news of Oberon, the Red Viper, being killed by Adric, reached Halberd City, Prince Michiro stayed at Fort Sandboat.

Outside the gate, it was crowded with the nobles of Yang Halberd City and Shadow City who had come to see him.

The savage army and the rebels were slowly advancing towards the Halberd City, which was only a few days away. If it was a sand horse cavalry, it would take a day to reach Shadow City.

I don't know why, after the savage army and the rebels joined forces, they only walked ten miles a day, five miles in the morning and five miles in the afternoon, and then camped to rest.

This is a tactic unheard of in any war: slow!

No matter what the nobles in Shadow City and Yang Halberd City thought, in short, the wildlings and rebels slowly came.

It's just that everywhere they go, the nobles' belongings will be flattened, and all the houses and fields will be confiscated, and then distributed to the commoners.

The nobles in the eastern part of Dorne are all gathered in the city of Yang Ji, first, the city has the protection of the curved wall, the second is that the city has the prince's guard and the city garrison, and third, the wild and the rebels are slow, as long as the nobles who do not want to be captured by the wild people, they have enough time to escape.

This made more and more nobles in Yang Halberd City, and the people in the city were panicked, and everyone came to visit Prince Daolang.

Prince Daolang avoided it and stayed in the Sand Boat Castle, his captain He Ta blocking all the nobles who came to see him.

Before Princess Arrene reached the Salt Coast, a city south of Dorne, she heard of the rebellion of Nymeria and Trené who had killed their five sisters, and when she approached the Salt Coast, she heard of the murder of Prince Oberon by Adric.

Princess Arrene didn't believe the rumors, and she released ravens, but all the ravens never returned.

After Arlene settled on the Salt Coast, she received a letter from her father, Prince Doro, informing her that the Eastern Route army had been defeated on all fronts, that Oberon and Elalia, the six Sand Snake sisters, had all been killed by her own men, that Edric and Count Elion had surrendered to the Savage Army, and that Namelia and Tremier had surrendered to the Savage Army and had become the vanguard of the Savage Army.

The enemy's army on the east road is now more than 30,000 people, strong and strong, slowly coming to Yang Halberd City, marching ten miles a day, although slow, but one day will come to Yang Halberd City.

At the end of the letter, Prince Dorou asks Alen to abandon the defense of the southern coastline and lead his cronies and money to cross the sea to the other side to become an exiled princess, or to the city of Alian's mother: the free trade city-state of Norphos. The family of Alian's mother, Melario, was a great nobleman in Norvers and was strong enough to protect Arlene Martell in the free city-state.

After receiving the letter, Alianne had mixed feelings, knowing that her father had stayed behind in Yang Halberd City with a mortal heart. She also finally knew why Will was only slowly marching, not only to sweep the nobles' territory in a carpet manner, but also to give Prince Dorou a chance to escape.

When Alianne arrived at the Salt Coast, she gathered an army of nearly 20,000 men, and she gathered all the ships and ships along the coast, and sent scouts to reconnoiter the seas, but there was no trace of the enemy's warships, which seemed to have disappeared into the distant open sea, never to be seen again.

Arrene decided to abandon her hold on to the Salt Coast, and decided to attack Will's army on the eastern route and relieve the crisis in Halberd City. She went hand in hand, and in case something happened, she decided to escape from Yang Halberd City with her father, cross the other side of the Narrow Sea, and live a life of exile. With the wealth of the Martell family, they can go incognito to the free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea, or they can quickly rise to the top and become rich.

After leaving the city of Halberd, the dark star Geralt Dane hurried back to the city of Gaoyin, collected the 10,000 troops left by Prince Oberon, and then forcibly conscripted troops in the west of Dorne, squeezing out the last manpower in the west of Dorne, and recruiting 5,000 civilian warriors, with a total strength of 15,000 soldiers. Before he could launch an attack on Tinkerbell and Thunder Punch Thorn, the news of the collapse of the Eastern Army came to the surprise of Jello Dayne.

Nymeria, Treyne, Adric, and Elion surrendered and were reused by the enemy, and the morale of the western soldiers began to waver. The news of Prince Oberon's death by Edric kept Geralt Dayne awake at night, and in terms of blood, Edric Dayne was the rightful bloodline of the Dane family, while Geralt was still a branch of the family.

Aderic surrendered to the savage army, where did he Gero go, many western aristocratic generals have another layer of speculation about Geralt, and distrust spreads invisibly in the army.

Geralt Dayne's cronies are a minority after all, and 10,000 soldiers are Oberon's legions, and Adric's surrender casts a huge shadow on Geralt's body. In order to gain the allegiance of all the soldiers, Geralt Dain decided to launch a surprise attack on the army of savages besieging Bremont, and he needed a great victory to stabilize the morale of the army and gain the absolute obedience of the soldiers.

*

No matter how Arlene moved, how Geralt Dayne's scouts scouted the enemy day and night, the wild armies in the west and east moved slowly, step by step. As long as they controlled the land, the nobles divided the land, and the proletarian commoners and servant slaves all obtained their own land and means of subsistence.

The hearts of the people are tilting towards the 'army of savages, which has been terribly propagandized by the nobles of Dorne'.

*

Prince Michiro began to receive the nobles who came to see him one after another, and a day later, the nobles and wealthy merchants in the castle disappeared, and the nobles and wealthy merchants in Yang Halberd City and Shadow City evacuated one after another, and the port of Yang Halberd City was crowded with large and small ships, and sailors and cargo ships became sought-after goods, and Prince Daolang gave advice to the nobles, that is, to leave Dorne and go to the other side of the Narrow Sea.

The nobles and wealthy merchants had many connections with the free trade city-states on the other side, and some had industries in the free trade city-states of the Narrow Sea, so the nobles finally extinguished their last hope of waiting for the Jedi counterattack of the Dorne army in Halberd City, and they gathered up their belongings and boarded ships to go to sea.

There were four routes from Dorne to the Free Trade City-State of the Narrow Sea, the safest of which was the longest and farthest route, but the safest route was the one from Halberd City, through the open sea of Storm's End, and north to Braavos. As long as you enter the waters of Braavos, it is absolutely safe waters, and there is no possibility of any pirates.

The second route is from Halberd City to the open sea of King's Landing Blackwater Bay, and then to the city of Pantos, and there is a overlap between this route and the first, where the danger is not from pirates, but from the patrol warships of Storm's End and King's Landing. Since Davos Seaworth, Earl of Onion, became Lord of the Sea, he has vigorously developed his naval power and sent warships to patrol the waters around Blackwater Bay and Dragonstone Island to combat piracy and ensure the safety of merchant ships.

The nobles who set out from Halberd City did not have to worry about being captured by the warships of Storm's End and the navy of Dragonstone as long as they did not pass through the waters of Storm's End and Dragonstone during the day, or disguised themselves as passing merchant ships.

The third and most recent route is from Halberd City, passing through the Stone Steps Islands, to the three major free trade city-states on the other side: Rees, Mill, and Telosi.

This route is the most recent and can save twice as long to reach the other two routes to the other shore, but it is also the most dangerous.

The Stonesteps Islands and Telosi were a gathering place for pirates. The Stone Steps Islands are the dwelling place of the major pirate teams, and Telosi is the entrenched pleasure place of the major pirate leaders.

Unless the nobles and wealthy merchants are inextricably linked with the pirate leaders of the Stone Steps Islands, some of the pirates are also descendants of the Dorne nobles, and some of the pirates are the descendants of rebels on the continent of Westeros, and they have some connections with the famous nobles, if they can have a special relationship with pirates, after being kidnapped, through relationship transactions, spend a sum of money, and they can pass safely.

The fourth route is to take the southern route to the sea of the Stone Steps Islands, go around a semicircle, completely cross the sea area of the Stone Steps Islands, and land in Valantis in the distance, and land in the city-state of Rees in the near future.

When Prince Daolang told them that the city could not be defended, and persuaded them to leave quickly, the harbor of the city was full of ships that day, and the nobles used all their resources to mobilize ships and flee for their lives through various family connections and powers.

For a time, all the merchant ships passing through became fragrant and sweet, and the price of sailing and traveling soared, and hiring ships, mercenaries, and sailors became a competition of financial resources. But because there were too many people to leave, there were not enough ships at all, so Prince Michiro contributed all his warships.

Originally, there were thirty warships in Yang Halberd City, all of which were given to Princess Alian, and the remaining ten or so ships were spare warships, as well as some small ships for maintenance and supply, all of which were taken out by Prince Daolang, allowing the great nobles who had been loyal to the Martell family for generations to flee first.

Prince Daolang sent another raven to send a message of hiring ships to several major free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and some merchant ships sailing in the sea area received the news and came to Yangji City to pick up people.

*

As if he had a heart, Will's army of more than 30,000 marched slowly every day, from advancing ten miles a day to eight miles a day, and finally to five miles a day, no matter how slow, the march of this team never stopped. Throughout the eastern part of Dorne, the nobles chose to flee voluntarily because of the loss of the protection and support of the Oberon Legion.

Every time the freedman army advanced into a village or town, the local officials or nobles who did not flee took the initiative to lead their men to surrender, so they were temporarily appointed by Tyron Ash as the local governor, and gave all the houses and fields of the old aristocratic and wealthy merchants and the furniture that could not be taken away to the local commoners.

If there are nobles who are unwilling to flee to surrender, they will leave a certain amount of real estate, food and land for the nobles, and the rest will be distributed to the commoners under the former aristocracy, and they will be stripped of their titles and degraded to commoners.

*

There were four routes from the city of Halberd to the free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea, each with 'escape ships' for nobles and wealthy merchants, as well as craftsmen and commoners willing to follow the nobles. Prince Michiro's family is very deep, and as soon as the information about the ship was released, even the ports of Wind's Rest and Old Town had some large merchant ships come to support.

Prince Doro, like Arryne, also sent several scout ships to reconnoiter the warships that Mance Rader disappeared at sea, and also found no warships in the waters of Halberd City, which strengthened Prince Doro's judgment: Will intends to let the army advance slowly, and at the same time give up the sea route to ensure that the nobles of Dorne and the Martell family can evacuate safely, which is also beneficial to Will, and he will not encounter the nobles of Dorne who resist to the death.

The Dorne nobility is deeply entrenched, and some commoners are loyal to the nobles, and if Will really forces the Dorne nobles to be cornered, it will be a fish to death. Although the fish die in the end, Will's net will also be broken terribly.

In this way, Will will open the net and give the nobles a way to live, and the fish still have a way to live, and the net will not break.

*

The safest route is that Yang Halberd City bypasses the sea area of the Stone Steps Islands to dock at Valantis, on this route, there is suddenly a group of pirates, there are not many pirates, there are not many ships, only ten warships, belonging to small-scale pirates, all the Dorne nobles who take this route are robbed halfway, fortunately, as long as the pirates have money, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, all the money is robbed, and the nobles who are protected by mercenaries can survive as long as they do not use force.

And those who dared to take the route of the Stone Steps Islands were all great nobles and mercenaries and family guards in formations, all of them encountered a very powerful pirate, this pirate appeared for a short time, but swept through many pirate teams on the Stone Steps Islands, and made a series of strange agreements with them, they only intercepted this month, and after a month, the jurisdiction of this water area was returned to them, and the property they robbed would be divided into two parts, they got one for themselves, and the rest of the pirate teams of the Stone Steps Islands shared one share.

This group of pirates, all wearing veils, brave in battle, advanced in warship, and agile in tactics, called themselves masked men. All the nobles of Dorne who fled for their lives from Yang Halberd City, all of them who took this road crashed into their hands, and many of the big nobles who had an old relationship with the pirate leader, no matter whose name they moved, answered him with a big slap in the face.

The team not only robbed the property, but also the ship, and when the number of people who were robbed reached a certain number, they were stuffed into the bilge of a large ship and transported to Telosi to finish their work.

The other two safest routes, as soon as you cautiously leave the waters of Dragonstone, will also be captured by a huge warship, which has an unrivaled magical beast to assist in the waters: the unicorn.

The ship targeted by the unicorn will either stop obediently, or the unicorn will pierce the bottom of the ship, and the whole ship will be buried in the sea.

After Prince Daolang saw the last group of nobles leave Yang Halberd City, he breathed a fierce sigh of relief. Princess Arlene's fleet and legions also came to the city of Yang and Shadow, and the team entered the city, finding that the two cities had lost their former vitality, and the nobles and wealthy merchants had taken away not only all the wealth, but also the prosperity of the city and the abundant employment opportunities.

A considerable number of skilled civilians also left the area and followed their lords to the other side.

It's just that Prince Michiro and Princess Aliane don't know for the time being that the four routes have already been completely blocked by Mance Red's navy, and all the wealth of Halberd City has flowed into Will's pocket, and the resistance of the nobles and wealthy merchants in Gilder City and Shadow City has also been wiped out by Will.
