Before the guards on the walls could react, the acting lord of the city, Cortanay, and several of his guards were shot down.

When Davos and Allister commanded the team to storm the city gates, the warriors in front of the winch were still standing stupidly.

The long sword opened the way, the arrows followed, and soon the noose of the drawbridge and the city gate were cut and the soldiers were scattered.

Outside the city, a horn sounded with a whining sound.

The soldiers of the Golden Knights, who were lying in ambush from far and near, rushed towards them with shouts as if they had come out of the ground.

Storm's Rest was in chaos.

Bang bang bang!

Several canisters of fire oil smashed on the winch of the house, and the torches were thrown up, igniting the noose and the winch.

Davos and Allister led the Hundred-Man Regiment to protect the flames.

The Dragons of the Storm's Rest Castle have no owner, and no one organizes a powerful counterattack.

Even if Davos and Allister were killed, the gates and drawbridges would not be able to close in a short period of time.

The noose had long been cut, and the fire devoured the winch.

The shouts outside the city rose higher and higher.

The iron hooves of the war horses shook the mountains, and in the middle there were the terrifying cries of dozens of war elephants.

Soon, the first team stormed the impregnable Storm's End, led by the famous Jon Clinton.

"I am Jon Clinton, the master of Griffoncastle, the patriarch of the Clinton family, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender on the spot, I pledge to you in the honor of the Clinton family, not to kill prisoners, not to kill civilians, not to kill civilians. Do you remember the battle of the bells? Anyone who lays down his arms will be spared death. ”

"Lord Jon Clinton has an order, lay down your arms and avoid death!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

They split up and pushed through the streets, shouting loudly.

This shout shook the confidence of the last knights and soldiers, and all the knights and soldiers of the older generation knew Jon Clinton's name. His style of not killing civilians or captives was already known in the Seven Kingdoms when he fought against Robert Baratheon. Even after besieging Robert Baratheon and killing Robert in a fight, Jon Clinton still chose to ring the bell first and let the people hide before going to war.

With the strong entry of the second legion led by Ba Qu, the resistance of the most loyal men in Storm's Rest also collapsed.

Jon Clinton, a famous and militarily talented politician, skillfully used the doubles of Davos and Allister to easily deceive the door of the insurmountable Storm's End. He vouched for his oath not to kill the captives or the people, which broke the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the castle and the antagonistic spirit of the people.

At the same time as the impregnable Storm's Rest fell, on the other side of the Narrow Sea, in the territory of Valantis, on the delta on the banks of the Lorne. Densely packed, with campfires that could not be seen at a glance, spread all over the river beach and the flat ground.

Drogo Kao led a large army to camp here.

Tomorrow morning the army will cross the river.

The mountains and forests behind look ill-intentioned in the night.

Drogo Kao had sent his Cole to comb through the jungle several times during the day, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

The delta is too large for the mountains behind the dense forest to be combed.

Drogo Kao was invincible, not because of his complete bravery, but also because of his way of using his troops.

Anyone who thought that the Dothraki led by Drogo Kao would simply charge with cavalry suffered greatly, some were wiped out, others were slaughtered.

After making sure that there was no ambush in the jungle, Drogo Kao was relieved.

He ignored the fact that the mountains behind the dense forest could also be ambushed.

It's just that he doesn't believe that the men of Valantis would dare to send an army to ambush his great army.

Drogo Kaowe, who famously fell on the enemy, swept through all towns without encountering a single resistance of magnitude and strength.

This gave Drogo Kao a slight attack.

Only this time, the opponent he met was not an ordinary person, but the High Priest of the Red God in the city-state of Valantis: Bennero. Benero has the largest Red Temple on the continent of Essos, which means that the Red God Rahlo can hear his voice. The power of Bennero's Flame of Truth is far above Melisandre. In Valantis, slaves, soldiers, merchants, and some nobles believed in the red god Laherlo, who was also the god of light and shadow.

Of course, there are also a large number of nobles who do not believe in the red god.

Maracho Megaria, the Tiger Archon of Valantis, had secretly hired the Golden Knights to get rid of Beneiro and his Hand of Fire Guard, but the head of the Golden Knights carefully weighed it and politely rejected him. Why did Malachio, the Tiger Ruler with a heavy army, dare not send his Tiger Robe Army to carry out this mission? You must know that the 10,000 soldiers of the Tiger Robe Army are ten times the strength of the Sacred Fire Hand Guard.

One of the only factors is that most of the Tiger-robed soldiers are Rahlo's followers. They are loyal to the Lord of Light, but also to Beneiro. With an order, Malacho feared that he would be killed first by the Soldier Believers.

And this is the fundamental reason why the Tiger Archons and the Elephant nobles want to join forces to secretly get rid of the High Priest Bennero: Bennero's influence is too strong to threaten the power of the Tigers and the Elephants.

In Valantis, people are allowed to have a free faith, but the ruling power must be in the hands of the nobility, not the high priest of the Red God.

On the surface, although the Tiger Party and the Elephant Party are still in power with Valantis, who would dare to ignore the existence of Archpriest Bennero? The actions of the Tiger Party's Maracho against Bennero are very secretive and no one knows about them to this day. And Maraccio also knew that as long as he did not directly target Bennero's assassination, Bennero would not be able to sense his own danger in the flames.

The Red God Priest is very sensitive to his own direct assassination or damage, and some can see all the truth in the flames. But as long as Bennero's name was avoided in the plan, and his murderous intent was wiped out in his heart, even the archpriest Bennero was unaware of the imminent danger.

The fact that the Tiger Archon Malacho Megaria is still alive and well shows that the Red God High Priest Bennero can't see the noble archons secretly killing him.

In response to Drogo Kao's attack, Archpriest Bennero relied on the omen of the fire of truth to guide the Tiger Party Archon Malaccio to lead the Tiger Robe Army to ambush the delta of the Lorne River.

The Tigers are brave and better at using fire, and if they are summoned to battle in the name of Rahlo, the Lord of Light, they are all dead.

Behind Drogo Kao's army, the Tiger Archon Maracho and his tiger robe army guards stood under the big tree overlooking the boundless campfire, and his heart was numb, this army was too large, although the regular army was less than 50,000 people, but the families of these Dothraki cavalry were also able to ride horses, shoot arrows and make knives, if they didn't follow the instructions of Archpriest Bennero to set up an ambush and let Drogo Kao smoothly hit the black wall of Valantis, Valantis would be really dangerous.

As soon as Drogo Kao's army was more than halfway across the river, Malaccio would lead an ambush out of the forest and attack Drogo Kao's rear.
