Chapter 0986: Giant Tyron Unstoppable
Three horses, a mammoth, and two griffons, they were very fast, and after a few days, they left the large army behind.
The four thousand elite cavalry did not pull down too far, that is, a one-day ride. The 2,000 freedfolk infantrymen led by the dog-headed Ha Li, although they were sturdy and on foot, were pulled down for three days.
Will and Arya rode on the griffin, the griffin was the king of all beasts, the wolves, insects, tigers and leopards were its food, and the three horses and a mammoth slowly got used to the griffin's breath after a few days of being in close proximity.
The two griffons flew slowly, right above Jaime and Tyron's heads.
"Taryn, is it suitable for the southern climate?" Will asked.
"It's not hot in the south anymore. Jaime said.
"Winter is coming. Arya said.
"My lord, I am used to the heat in Dorne, and my brothers have adapted to it, thanks to the medical conditioning of our body by the team of bachelors you hired. ”
"That's not actually a drug conditioning, it's an early prevention, mainly to prevent heat stroke, and appetizers. ”
"Big man. Not far ahead is the rebels' first military artery: the Bitter Bridge. Jaime laughed, "Throughout the ages, if you want to attack the High Court, you must first take the Bitter Bridge. ”
"Is the bitter bridge wide?"
"To make my three horses and your mammoth pass side by side, it's a stone arch bridge. Jaime laughed.
"Side by side is the width of five horses. Taryn Ash looked at his greatsword hanging from a mammoth and Valyria's newly built super heavy armor that three or four soldiers couldn't move, "I can take the Bitter Bridge alone." ”
"The bitter bridge is very long. ”
"How long?"
"About three hundred meters. ”
"The whole bridge was defended by infantry, but only five hundred people. Taryn said lightly, "If the cavalry defends, there will be less than two hundred." He looked up, "Lord Will, let me take the Bitter Bridge alone, and you can just watch from the sky." ”
"Shall I and the three horses cheer you on the ground?" Jaime laughed.
"Tyron, the Casway family will continue to replenish their forces. The first military strategic point entering the High Court will definitely be defended by the most elite soldiers. I reckon that the High Court will send the best generals to defend the Bitter Bridge, most of them the brave Garland. ”
"Yongwu Garland?" Tyron was intrigued, "Is he very powerful?"
"He is not a famous general in the High Court, his full name is Garland Tyrrell, he is very powerful in martial arts, he is very famous, and his body is also burly and majestic, and the name of Brave Garland means that he is a brave man. ”
Tyron was overjoyed: "Is he as tall as the Magic Mountain? ”
Tyron's heavy armor weighed hundreds of pounds, and his sword, the king of swords made of Valyrian steel, weighed two hundred pounds. His entire human form is not strictly human, but humanoid, and he is pure giant blood.
He is a man who lives in the Great Wall of Despair
Ordinary Valyrian steel swords are the supreme famous swords of the entire continent, and the sword king of Tyren is the king of the supreme famous swords. Sword Furnace Fort exhausted the abilities of dozens of weapon masters in the fort, and it took more than half a year to build this sword. Just the iron embryo of the sword, dozens of blacksmith masters fought for three months.
The Bitter Bridge is the territory and family fort of the Casway family in the River Bend, and is the key point of the Rose Avenue across the Mandeb River. An old stone arch bridge over the Bab el-Mandeb River is the only stone bridge that spans the Bab el-Mandeb River.
On the other side of the river, the castle of the Casvi family is small and has a stone and wood structure. The tower is not very tall, but because it is surrounded by flat and empty plains, it seems to be much higher than it actually is.
When the ancient Iron People were strong, the longships of the Iron Breeds entered the Mandeb River from the waters of the Shield Islands, and went up the river into the interior of the Riverlands, plundering large areas of land. The farthest distance is to cross the bitter bridge.
Kuhashi, whose real name is Ishihashi, began to rise more than two hundred years ago, which threatened the interests of the royal power and the nobility. As a result, six armies led by nobles ambushed and slaughtered 9,000 poor soldiers of the Order at the Bitter Bridge. Nine thousand soldiers were all killed, and the Mandeb River was stained red with the blood of the fallen soldiers, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the corpses of the soldiers piled up on the stone bridge were like a hill, and the stone bridge was renamed Kuqiao because of this battle.
"Taryn, I give you permission to take the Bitter Bridge alone. However, I advise you to attack at night. ”
"No, my lord, I will go to attack the Bitter Bridge after I have eaten breakfast, and I hope that the bravest soldiers of the other side will come to defend the Bitter Bridge. Taryn patted the mammoth's greatsword, "This sword will probably be hung on the wall of the hall of the Sword Fort by the Sword Furnace Castle when it returns this time." ”
The Sword King itself was created for Tylen Ash alone, and the real purpose was not to fight, but to hang it in Sword Furnace Castle as a world-famous sword for people to visit and enjoy, and it was a ceremonial sword that belonged to more than 40 weapon masters in Sword Furnace Castle.
"Tyrann, don't worry, if you don't get rid of the ghosts, this sword will always follow you. Will said.
The casting techniques and magical blessings of the entire Valyrian steel are not only due to Will and Melisandre, but also to Samwill Tully.
It's just that if SamWill Tully, who was on the Great Wall of Desperation, knew that his father had been sent to the dungeon of the Red Keep by Lord Will, and that his younger brother Deacon Tully had led troops into the High Court, the entire family was in danger of extinction, how would he feel?

Garland Tyrell is a rare talent with both civil and military skills. His martial arts are still above his younger brother Hundred Flowers Knight. At the age of sixteen, the Hundred Flowers Knight won two tournaments, both defeating Jaime Lannister.
In addition to martial arts, Garland's literature, poetry, history, ancient book knowledge, aristocratic etiquette and cultivation are second to none.
His best weapon is a spear, and he is also very good at swordsmanship. Both one-handed and two-handed swords are excellent, and they are the best of the Tyrells family.
In this martial world, people pay more attention to the level of a person's martial arts, so Garland is crowned with the word brave to show his martial arts. But he actually has a high attainment in terms of cultural accomplishment.
On the orders of Lady Olenna Redwin, Garland Tyrell led 10,000 cavalry into the Bitter Bridge, and the total strength reached 30,000 with the strength of several nobles near the Bitter Bridge.
The Bitter Bridge is the only way to enter the river bend by land, although the Bitter Bridge is very long, but not wide, the stone arch bridge is very strong, there are several piers in the river, two hundred pikemen in the front, two hundred sword and shield men in the middle, and a hundred archers in the back. On both sides of the stone bridge on the other side of the river, there were 5,000 cavalry troops and 10,000 infantry. A total of 30,000 troops and horses were stationed on this stone bridge. Under the bridge, there is the Mande River, which flows through a large area of fertile land in the river bay, passes through the castle of Gaoting, and finally flows westward into the sea.

Chapter 0986-2 Unstoppable
In the early morning, the white mist on the banks of the Bab el-Mandeb River thins out in the sun. A huge figure appeared on the avenue, and at first the soldiers at the head of the bridge did not care, they thought it was the shadow of a large tree. The shadows moved in the mist, getting closer and closer, and as the sun pierced the mist, the mist dissipated, and a giant was coming towards them, leaving the soldiers stationed at the bridgehead stunned.
The giant, a giant taller than a two-story wooden building, was dressed in shiny black plate armor, a helmet like a giant helmet in the shape of flames, and carried a great sword that was almost a small door, and the hilt was so wide that the soldiers had never seen it.
Behind the giant, there was nothing. No armies, no horses, no elephants.
Some of the warriors of the Riverbends have fought with the Golden Knights and seen the power of war elephants. Such giants, they naturally feel that they should be equipped with war elephants to travel.
On both sides of the Mandeb River, there are endless plains.
The season is the tail of autumn, and the crops on the plains are not as lush as in summer, but they are not bad.
The plains of the autumn morning, the sun, the sand, the stone bridges, the river, the castle, this was a very peaceful picture, but suddenly, the whine of the enemy attack sounded.
At the head of the stone bridge, the frightened centurion whined the enemy attack.
On the other side of the river, 30,000 soldiers heard the sound of the horn, and in the early morning by the Mandeb River, except for the sound of the river, everything was still waking up. The sound of the horn is particularly clear and far-reaching.
Garland Tyrell emerged from the tent and looked across the river, where there was no one and no enemy troops.
The generals also mounted their horses one after another, and looked far away, the great river was surging, and there was no army on the other side.
Taryn Ash stood at the head of the bridge, the stone arch blocked the view of most of the people on the other side of the river, and only a few soldiers saw a giant at the head of the bridge that they had never seen before.
The sound of the horn was interrupted by another centurion, for there was only one on the other side.
It doesn't matter if he's a giant or a monster, he's just a man.
When one person comes, he blows the horn of the enemy's attack, which is too ...... Be afraid!
Taryn came to the bridge, facing a row of pikemen who quickly formed a line, his mask slowly lowered, and slowly pulled out the sword king, the sword king unsheathed, and a cold air wafted out.
When casting the Sword King, the water that cooled the Sword King was the cold ice water of the Great Wall of Despair. The icy water has the power of magical blessings (the entire Great Wall of Desperation is a huge ancient magic circle), and the calcining flame is Melisandre's magical flame. After the Sword King was refined, the cold air was like a needle.
The sun shone on the blade of the Sword King, shining as bright as a star.
Circles of dark cyan overlapped on the sword's body, penetrating from the surface to the inner layer, which was the trace of thousands of hammers and hammers.
The greatsword was unsheathed, like the width of a small door, and the length was longer than the spears of the pikemen.
At the head of the bitter bridge, the giant sword, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the murderous and cold aura is elegant, like substance.
The second hundred-man pikemen quickly assembled and lined up on the bridge.
Taryn said, "Stand back, or die." His Westeros lingua franca wasn't very good, but the soldiers could barely understand it.
"Archer!" the centurion of the first centurion shouted the herald.
So, the centurion of the second pikeman took the order and shouted the archers.
Two hundred pikemen, two hundred sword and shield men, and finally a hundred archers supported behind, this is the layout of the bridge deck of the Bitter Bridge.
In the end, of course, the real battle was on the other side of the river. On the left and right sides of the bridge, a legion of 15,000 men on one side.
Why didn't the legions be deployed across the river?
If you encounter an enemy charge and the battle situation is unfavorable, you will lose the depth of retreat, because retreat is a great river. And a narrow bridge cannot quickly pass through the 10,000-strong troops.
Early in the morning, the sword, shield and archers were not yet in place.
Taryn Ash only said one word, and then never spoke again.
The second sentence is his greatsword: a sword king made of Valyrian steel, sharpened iron like clay, sharpened iron like cheese.
The long sword swept like a sharp long knife cutting through a thin sheet of brown paper.
Cha!
With a soft sound, the five pikemen in front of them were cut into two pieces at waist length. The incision was smooth and neat, the blade of the sword swept by, as bright as autumn water, a drop of blood slipped from the tip of the sword, and the blade of the sword spine and the sword body seemed to be wiped and brighter.
The five spears were all tied to Tyron Ash's armor, and with five crisp sounds, the armor was as smooth as new, leaving not even a trace: this armor made of Valyrian steel was priceless.
The lower half of the five pikemen were still standing, but the upper body had been smoothed away, and they fell in one place, in a pool of blood.
Such a killing, such a swift sword, such a fierce giant, such an indestructible armor, the pikemen behind were all dumbfounded.
Taryn took another small step, and the greatsword swung out with a backhand.
The pikemen in the second row had already made a defensive posture, and the spears were pierced at the giant sword together, however, in the face of absolute power, the spear that hit the giant sword shattered, and the huge and incomparable power swept through their bodies again with an unstoppable sharpness, and the chests of the five soldiers seemed to suddenly explode, and there was no scream, because the speed was too fast, the strength was too great, and the sword was too sharp, and most of the bodies of the five soldiers were still standing, and the parts above the chest had left the body, and the arms holding the guns were also cut off in unison.
The third row of soldiers pressed forward, spears stabbing indiscriminately. This armored giant is terrifying, he is not human, he is a demon god who crawled out of hell.
The soldiers stationed at the bridgehead have a deep-rooted concept: they would rather die than retreat.
They were scared, they were scared, but they couldn't retreat. Retreat, parents, brothers and sisters in the family, all of them will be severely punished.
Even if you want to retreat, it is impossible, behind you are layers of soldiers, unless they jump into the river.
The Magic Mountain took another small step forward, letting the spears rain down on the armor, tinkling, making a pleasant sound and splashing sparks.
The giant sword swung again in the light of the sun, and the blade reflected the brilliant sunlight, instantly changing colors like neon. In a flash of light, the five pikemen slanted into a row of slanted bodies with no head, no neck, no shoulders, no chest, and no waist, from high to low.
The gushing blood splashed the pikemen in the rows behind.
An ordinary soldier against Tyranny, that is, a three-year-old child against a majestic martial artist, needless to say that the sword king who wields the Valyrian steel sword slashes people, even if he mentions it lightly, the person is also torn into two pieces by Tyron.
The armor and leather on the soldiers' bodies were shattered like parchment under the sword king's blade. The body, weak as cheese.
Cutting rows and rows of cheese with the finest sword, sharp to the extreme, is no challenge.
When Taryn cut the pikemen to the tenth row, the arrows of the 100 archers at the back flew past their comrades and fell with a clang, clinking the arrows into Tyron's armor. The heavy armor cast in Valyrian steel was unscathed, broken by the arrows of long arrows.
The pikemen of the eleventh platoon dropped their spears and jumped off the Mandeb River!
