Oberon summoned Edric Dane and showed him the secret letter from Thor.

"My lord, this is fake. Adric asserted.

"Why do you say that?"

"Prince, the raven's most feared predator is the griffon, which cannot avoid being hunted by the griffon. Edric said firmly.

"But it was delivered?" said the Prince, "and it was the enemy who deliberately wanted me to see this letter. ”

"Yes, Prince, the letter is false. Adric said.

Edric is a Pence disguise. The reason why Will didn't do it in Yang Halberd City was because Will still wanted to transform Dorne's soldiers as much as possible, either to let them see that they were powerful and irreversible and escape, or let them become his own soldiers, and destroy all those who were determined to resist.

Those who firmly regard the invaders such as Will as enemies will definitely be dangerous elements in the future when the governor is in charge, and they will resist and fight in various forms.

It is best to test these forces in the war and destroy them together, so as not to burn the jade in the future.

The griffon attack is a process of screening soldiers who will not surrender to death.

To rule Dorne, it is not only necessary to eliminate the nobles everywhere, but also to eliminate the determined forces of Dorne, which actually come from the soldiers, not all of them.

Finding out as much of these Dorne powers as possible is to attack through the griffon's high-altitude boulders. Death threats are the strongest threats and the most persuasive.

Weak civilian soldiers and soldiers who refuse to serve the Martell family will choose to leave the team in the face of the threat of death. Those who refuse to leave the team must be the backbone, this force is loyal to Dorne or a certain nobleman and faith, whether this force is a commoner or a nobleman, the converts live, and those who are loyal to Dorn must kill them.

The red viper Oberon was skeptical of Adric's words, and he sent out a raven temptation, and the griffin ruled the sky, not to mention the raven, not even the desert eagle could not send a message in front of the griffin, and the raven was immediately chased by the griffin and eaten.

Oberon tried several ravens, but they all went and never returned.

He finally trusted Adric's judgment and thought highly of Edric.

Oberon continued to lead the army forward, and for a day and a night, the griffons continued to attack, Oberon's army showed signs of collapse, and the news that the former army Ellaria was completely wiped out also spread wildly in the army, but fortunately, the Earl of Arion of the rear army led five thousand troops to catch up, and the number of people was large, and the morale of the army was temporarily strengthened.

Oberon never received any feedback from the front army, and sent scouts, all of whom never returned. The griffons in the sky are a lingering nightmare for the troops, waiting in the sky twenty-four hours a day, throwing stones down and bombarding the marching ranks when they are happy. When they were not happy, they screamed sharply, paralyzing the wagons, oxcarts, and horses in the army, and making the march difficult.

After a day and a night's suffering, the prince's army was reduced by hundreds of soldiers.

They reached the foot of the mountains on the southern shore of the Sea of Dorne, and saw the devastation of the land that Elaria's team had abandoned after the collapse: armor, swords, spears, bows and arrows, tents, broken carriages and ox carts, the corpses of soldiers, and the corpses of Elaria and others.

As it turned out, many of the details of the letter that Edric had concluded to be a fake last time were true, Oberon was saddened by the tragic death of his mistress Ellaria and six daughters, two of whom had defected to the enemy, and news spread among the soldiers that the city of Thor had been taken by the army of savages, and that Nymelia and Trené had indeed surrendered to the enemy.

All kinds of news dealt a heavy blow to Prince Oberon.

He finally figured out that it was Prince Doro who wanted to negotiate peace, and Will didn't think about making peace with Dorne at all, he came to destroy Dorne and the Martell family, just like the Haikou boasted by Mance Rader before the war began: there is no unconquerable Dorne, and there is no unconquerable Martell family, and the heroes and heroes of history can't do it because they don't think of the real way to rule.

Will and Mance Rader are to destroy the nobles of Dorne and the Martell family, and will no longer allow Dorne any chance to be independent of the unity of Westeros.

Will and Mance Rader launched this war of conquest for the sole purpose of exterminating, not only the nobles who refused to submit, but also the soldiers who refused to submit.

After Oberon figured this out, his heart was cold, since the city of Thor had fallen, they would be able to fall into the net if they went to the city of Thor again. Neselia and Treyne's midway defection has as much of an impact on the hearts of the army as the threat of death from the griffon's incessant attacks in the sky.

Inside the cave of the mountains, Oberon convened a military council.

The cave was chosen to prevent the griffon from dropping boulders from the sky to threaten death.

Using the terrain of the mountains to dodge the attacks of the griffins in the sky made it easy for the army to relieve the pressure under such high pressure, but the combined strength of the Chinese army and the rear army was nearly 9,000 people, and most of the soldiers were still exposed to the shadow of the griffin's boulder attack.

In fact, the griffons never stopped attacking.

Along the way, more and more civilian soldiers fled. After all, if you run away and go home, you can live, and if you are hit by a stone, you will die. Even if Dorne fell, it would not be a disaster for the commoners, but a good thing to divide up the nobles' land, real estate, and even money, and keep the lives and wealth of the family safe.

And if Prince Oberon wins, the soldiers who flee will face severe punishments, the worst of which will be beheaded!

In contrast, the popular sentiment also became more and more favoured towards the intruders rather than Prince Oberon and his gang of nobles.

That's not a good thing.

Oberon was clever and sensitive, and immediately felt the trade-off: their popular advantage was disappearing, while the intruder's popular advantage was growing, and in such a change of circumstances, only more and more soldiers would flee. The soldiers under the banner of the nobility, most of them, were from commoners.

Having figured out this layer, Oberon had to convene this military conference.

He'll have to brainstorm ways to deal with Will's 'conquering' people's hearts. If only there was a way to provoke Will's army to attack the civilians and slaughter the villages. Every time Will's army kills a civilian and robs a villager, it strengthens Dorne against the invaders.

It was in this line of thought that Oberyn's military council was convened, and he proposed that Will's image in the hearts of the people of Dorne must be destroyed, and if Will's army did not slaughter the people of Dorne, then could he send his own army disguised as Will's army to slaughter the Dorn, and then publicize the bloodshed to the outside world, so as to win the hearts of the Dornish people and share the hatred of Will's invaders.

This is actually a very good way, if the invaders break out in the south and west of Dorne, then Will's image of not killing civilians will collapse, and the people of Dorne will show the invaders what a people's war is.

However, this military idea at the meeting was firmly opposed by the Earl of Elion, who believed that if the nobles of Dorne went to slaughter the people of Dorne, once known to the people of Dorne, the nobles of Dorne and the Martell family would completely lose the support of the people, and they would never be able to defeat the invaders, this method was tantamount to suicide, and once the faces of Will's people were exposed, the nobles would lose Dorne forever.

Count Elion's proposal made the nobles who had originally supported Prince Oberon feel very reasonable, and everyone hesitated. Oberon didn't think that Elion's fears would come true, the people would not be able to know the truth in the midst of the chaos, and as long as the propaganda was done well, Will would inevitably lose the hearts and minds of the people of Dorne.

The Count of Elion remained adamantly opposed.

Oberon used the prerogatives of the prince to force this military resolution through the conference.

It has to be said that this military operation of Oberon was very destructive, and it was difficult for the people to know the truth about the massacre because of the asymmetry of information, and most people would immediately put this account on Will's head, which was exactly what Prince Oberon was eagerly hoping for.

This is the same scheme used by Will to use the killers of the Inquisition to disguise themselves as the Earl of Elion's guards.

Elion said, "Prince Oberon, if you insist on forcibly pushing forward with this military plan, I will lead my men and men to surrender to Will. ”

As soon as these words came out, Oberon's face immediately became very terrifying.

The atmosphere in the cave full of nobles was tense to the extreme.

The Earl of Arion was undoubtedly loyal, but because he disagreed with Oberon's military plan to massacre civilians, he threatened the prince that he would surrender to the enemy.

This is a big no-no!

Count Arion was not afraid or timid in Oberon's forced gaze: "Prince, my only heir, Roger Elion, was beheaded by Will, and I have a personal enmity with Will, but even so, I think Lord Will is more honorable than the Prince's vicious method of slaughtering his own civilians to blame Will. ”

"Put away your bullshit honor, now is the critical moment of Dorne's life and death, extraordinary people do extraordinary things, who will help me take down Count Elion?"

"Me!" Edric stepped out of the Prince's side and drew his sword with a choked sound, "Count Elion, out of respect for the fact that you are a hero of Dorne, draw your sword, on behalf of Prince Oberon, I will kill you with my own hands." I challenge you!"

Choke!

Elion's sword unsheathed: "Adric, I accept your challenge. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Edric suddenly swung his long sword, stabbing Oberon in the chest.

Oberon was shocked, and so were the nobles present. Prince Oberon's guards were so stunned that they forgot to draw their swords and kill the murderer.

Adric let go of his sword, and it pierced through Prince Oberon's heart, and it was so fast and fierce that it happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

Prince Oberon fell, his sword stuck in his chest, the hilt trembling slightly.

"I agree with Count Elion, I would rather die under the enemy's sword than slaughter my own people, our vanguard army has been destroyed, Nymeria and Trenne have surrendered to Will, Dorne is doomed to not win this war, I, like Count Elion, also chose to surrender Will, who here has a different opinion?"

Boom!

Several swords were unsheathed, pointing at Adric.

These swords include the swords of the Oberon guards and the swords of the nobles.

Woohoo!

A few cold rays of light flashed, and several swords flashed like silver light, slashing through the throat of the person who drew the sword, and blood spurted out and splashed all over the table. The Prince's guards were stabbed to death by Aderic and Count Elion's guards.

Adric drew his sword from the Prince's chest, blood dripping from it: "Sir, General, if you are willing to submit to Lord Will with us, please swear to submit, and if you are not willing to submit, please do your best." As soon as you get out of this cave, the next time we meet, everyone will be mortal enemies. ”

The aristocrats looked at each other.

Look at Aderic and Count Elion, and the guards around them, their swords still dripping blood.

No one chooses to get out of the cave.

Elion and Adric are very powerful in status and influence, and the two families are not inferior to other nobles, except for the Earl of Oberon and Princess Arlene.

Adric is the patriarch of House Dayne, and the influence of the Dawn Excalibur has a very special spiritual symbolism in Dorne. Edric's defection to Gowell was a precursor to Dorne's change.

Whether it was out of fear or strength, none of the nobles in the cave chose to go out.

So, in the end, everyone reached an agreement in bloodshed: surrender Will.

Count Edric and Count Erion joined forces, and after killing Oberon, his guards, and several powerful nobles, they subdued the others and soldiers, and gained more than 8,000 soldiers.

The entire eastern army of Dorne was wiped out, and more than half of its troops surrendered to Will's freedmen army.

Taryn Ash, Wooden Shield, Kobold Harr, Giant King Margo, Nymeria, Treynie, Adric, Count Elion and others joined forces in one place, totaling more than 30,000 people, and the army slowly advanced towards Halberd City. Along the way, there was a constant stream of Dorn stragglers coming to surrender.

A total of 20,000 freemen troops came out of the bone road, walked hundreds of miles from Ellenwood City to Thor City, and continued to advance eastward after taking Thor City, aiming at Yang Halberd City, and fought several battles successively, the number of people became more and more, and the strength of the legion became stronger and stronger, along the way, the nobles of the major villages and towns and small cities were pushed across, and after the nobles' fields, real estate, food, furniture, money, etc., the nobles' fields, real estate, food, furniture, money, etc., were levied by a part of the legions, and they were all distributed to the local civilians in proportion.

The land and houses and furniture were mostly owned by the civilians, and the army was responsible for the majority of food and money.

When the news of the death of Prince Oberon broke, the entire city of Yang Ji shook, and the nobles in the city were all terrified.
