Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 84 The Ironborn Attack
Seeing the tragic situation in the dock area, the knight guards also realized that what Lind said before was correct. There were indeed a large number of ironmen attacking the old town, but it was too late to follow Lind’s orders now.
With a little uneasiness, the knight guards gathered in front of Linde, lowering their heads slightly, like a child who had made a mistake.
One of them plucked up the courage and asked, “Sir, what should we do now?”
Lind looked at these knight guards. Although Lind was wearing a helmet and could not see his face, these knight guards could still feel Lind’s sharp gaze falling on them, which made them lower their heads. Even lower, I felt ashamed inside.
Just when the knight guard was filled with strong emotions of shame, Lind’s calm voice came from the helmet and said: “Our duty is to protect the safety of Lord Vilas. Lord Vilas is now in the Starry Temple. You What should we do?”
The knight guards also understood the meaning of Lind’s words, and immediately spontaneously divided into two groups. According to the guard plan arranged by Lind during the day, they led some ordinary guards to the entrances of the two streets leading to the Starry Temple Square. He found a relatively narrow position and stayed there.
Lind looked at these knight guards and said nothing. He neither told these knight guards that this way of guarding was wrong, nor told them that the most important thing to do now was to open the door of the Starry Temple and take Vilas away. It would be much safer to walk, either to the military camp outside the city or to the towering tower, than to stay here.
Lind needed to use the Ironborn’s attack on Oldtown to establish his prestige among the team traveling to Dorne, especially the prestige in the hearts of these knight guards trained by the Tyrell family.
On the way before, although these Tyrell knights would obey Lind’s orders truthfully and seemed to recognize Lind’s status as captain of the guard, in fact they were just pretending to be in front of Willas. More or less, he believed that Linde was not qualified to be the captain of the guard.
Because in their opinion, the ability of the guard captain is secondary, and loyalty is the most important, and no one in this world can be more loyal than them, the knights who are direct descendants of the Tyrell family.
Linde didn’t care about this, as long as these knight guards could carry out his orders without compromise. Even though the behavior of those knight guards who violated his orders just now was understandable, it was still true that they violated orders.
If it were normal times, he would definitely punish these knight guards and let them remember the consequences of disobeying his orders, but now he does not need to do anything, the ironmen will naturally help him punish these knight guards, and finally he can do it here Those who survived the invasion of the Botimen should be able to firmly remember the importance of obeying their orders.
Linde always stood in front of the main entrance of the Starry Temple, seemingly not caring about the situation in the old town, but in fact, Linde had already asked Glory to climb onto a nearby building, and through visual sharing, he could see clearly The situation in the old town.
It was obvious that the person leading this team of Ironborn was not a simple guy. He had fully understood the situation in Old Town beforehand and had made some arrangements in advance.
Although Linde didn’t know why the towering tower’s watchman didn’t warn, he was certain that it had something to do with the person leading the Ironborn.
After the Ironborn came ashore, it looked like they were burning, killing and looting everywhere, but in fact it could be seen that the targets they attacked were carefully arranged.
For example, after the Ironborn rushed to the dock, they directly attacked the resting point of the Old Town garrison in the dock area. They easily eliminated all the defensive forces of the garrison on the dock and demanded what they wanted from the warehouses filled with various goods in the dock area.
After that, four groups of people were separated from the Ironmen. One group ran directly to the arch bridge connecting the Tower in the Old Town. They pushed down various types of wood that had been prepared nearby and set them on fire on the bridge, creating a flame barrier to stop the Tower. The defense force of the Zhonghai Tower family rescued the city.
The other two groups attacked two important strongholds of the garrison in the city hall where the city hall was located. This was not to wipe out all the garrison, but to delay the garrison so that they could not support the dock.
The last group of people quickly rushed to the gate of Old Town. It seemed that they wanted to seize the gate and completely block the Tyrell army from outside the city before they entered the city.
As for the vast majority of the other ironmen, except for some who stayed in the dock area to carry various goods, the rest rushed to the business district and wealthy areas of the old town, looting without any worries.
Although through various plans, the Ironborn now seem to have the upper hand, and the entire Oldtown has everything they want, but in fact Oldtown is not without resistance.
Although the two main forces of the Old Town garrison were held back by the Ironborn, they also held back some of the most elite members of the Ironborn, greatly reducing the pressure on other places.
In addition, there are a large number of maritime merchants in Old Town. These merchants have been doing business abroad all year round and have encountered countless dangers. They are experienced warriors themselves and are more or less surrounded by guards. In order to save their lives and protect their property, these merchants Shang also led his own guards to resist the ironmen’s plunder.
In addition, the leader of the Ironborn may not have thought that the hundreds of knights who were supposed to stay in the military camp outside the city would actually be in the taverns and brothels in the commercial district. Although most of them were drunk, let alone picking up Even if they don’t have weapons, it’s difficult to stand up, but there are still many knights who can fight.
In addition, although the arch bridge on the other side of the Tower was blocked, the sea under the reef was not intercepted by Ironmen. When Linde looked at the Tower, he could already see small boats filled with soldiers. Heading towards the opposite city.
However, these resistances were only sporadic resistances. There was no way to stop the plundering of the Ironmen. They only slowed down the plundering a little. The one who would really play a supporting role in the near future was Tilly who had already entered the city at this moment. With regard to your army, it was obvious that Jon must have obeyed his orders.
The ironmen sent to the north gate encountered the Tyrell army entering the city without any surprise. Two waves of cavalry charged, and the soldiers behind them advanced. This group of ironmen was quickly wiped out.
After that, the Tyrell family’s cavalry rushed to the Starry Temple first, probably to protect Willas, and the remaining people were divided into two, one part went to the garrison headquarters in the municipal area, and the other part went to Dock area.
Although the burning blockade on the arch bridge on the other side of the towering tower has not yet been cleared, the soldiers of the Hightower family have been transported by ship and entered the city to begin fighting with the Ironborn.
As for the people in the business district, they also borrowed various facilities to prevent the Ironborn from looting. Except for the Ironborn in the dock area, the situation of the other Ironborn teams that invaded the old town was not good.
However, Lind discovered that the people leading the ironmen did not seem to intend to retreat just like this, but had other ideas, so he saw a force of ironmen in the dock area, heading towards the Starry Temple. While rushing over, it seemed that they were heading for Willas, and judging from the Ironborn’s speed and the distance between the two places, they should be able to reach the Starry Temple before the Tyrell cavalry.
After realizing that this battle was inevitable, Lind gave Glory the order to hide his figure and wait for an opportunity to attack. Then he exited the state of visual sharing, walked to the square, and faced the downhill road leading to the dock area. Lu Lu took out the sword of the Homeless Knight from his waist and waited for the arrival of the Ironborn.
Lind’s actions naturally attracted the attention of the knight guards. They immediately realized that Lind must have discovered the enemy, so eight knight guards and twenty warriors all moved to this road, drew their weapons, and stood At the intersection.
Soon the Ironborn team appeared at a corner at the end of the street, rushing toward the Starry Cathedral like a tide.
Looking at the densely packed Ironborn team in front of them, the knight guards did not have any fear. When the Ironborn rushed downhill ahead, they raised their weapons and led the other guards to meet them and fought with the Ironborn.
Although the knight guards and their guards were able to block some of the ironmen, there were more ironmen passing by. They only separated a small number of people to besiege the knight guards, and most of the others were moving towards the Starry Saint. Don rushed over.
Facing the ironmen who poured into the square, Linde was a little distracted at the moment because he noticed a person hidden among the group of ironmen.
This man has fair skin, handsome appearance, a pair of blue eyes like the sea, and a wicked smile always hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Although he deliberately concealed his figure, it was not difficult to tell from the looks in the eyes of the other Ironborn around him that he should be the leader of these Ironborn.
At this time, the ironmen who rushed to the square had already arrived in front of Linde and raised their weapons.
What surprised the ironmen was that the target in front of them suddenly disappeared. Then they all lost control of their bodies one by one and fell to the ground spinning. Although their eyes could still see things, their brains were already gone. It became blurry and soon I lost consciousness.
I saw that Linde’s figure was as agile as a cheetah, his swords danced like a whirlwind, and the power contained in the sword was as powerful as a battering ram. No one in his path could resist it, and they did not even see the attack clearly. Wherever they came from, they were all split in half by the sword of the Homeless Knight.
For the first time, Lind displayed the swordsmanship of the Homeless Knight without any reservation. With the sword of the Homeless Knight made of Valyrian steel, these ironmen wearing leather armor were like pieces of weeds without any resistance. Just the same, it can be harvested at will without even using the power of any dragon runes.
In the blink of an eye, everyone who rushed to the square was killed on the spot by the sword of the Homeless Knight, and the square was instantly dyed red with blood.
It’s just that the ironmen following behind didn’t seem to see the broken corpses here, and they still rushed blindly into the square. Then they all seemed to have come to die on their own. As soon as they stepped onto the square, their heads or bodies were scratched in the air. The sword edge flew away, and the corpses in the square were quickly accumulating.
On the street, two knight guards failed to block the surrounding attacks and were chopped down to the ground. The other six knights also had difficulty resisting attacks from all directions. As for more than 20 guards, they were also fighting in the first wave. , all died under the siege of the Ironborn.
But with the addition of Glory, the situation of the remaining knight guards became slightly better. Glory was seen to have implemented Linde’s instructions, hiding in the shadows, smartly looking for the lone Ironborn. Every time he attacked, there would be someone. Two ironborn died in its attack.
At first, the ironborn didn’t know what was happening, until they saw clearly that what was attacking them was a huge black beast, and they were all frightened to death.
However, even though they were all frightened by Glory, their bodies did not make any move to escape because of the fear in their hearts. Instead, they seemed to be in some kind of violent state, trying to attack the hands in front of them.
However, Glory didn’t just stand there and let them besieged. Before they formed a circle, it had already disappeared from their eyes and escaped into the surrounding darkness. The people around them were dragged into the street one by one. In the darkness on both sides, only screams could be heard coming from the streets.
Although the leader of the Ironborn was the first group of people to rush into the square among his men, his intuition was very strong. He sensed the danger when Linde launched his attack, and retreated in time to avoid Linde’s attack. .
Then he saw that all his men were lying on the ground, their bodies cut into several sections, and Linde, who had caused all this, also turned to look at him.
An unprecedented fear of death instantly enveloped his heart, and a vague voice he had heard whispered in his ear. Although he could not understand what language the whisper was in, he understood that the whisper meant to make him happy. Click to escape.
He didn’t know whether it was his trust in the vague voice or the fear of death. He ignored his own image and crawled under the Ironborn who came up from behind. He used his hands and feet to move away from the square. He crawled away quickly, even if he was trampled by his own men, he did not dare to stop and look at the situation behind him.
However, his danger did not end after escaping from the square. Just when he felt that he was temporarily safe and got up from the ground, a black figure appeared in front of him, along with sharp claws and claws aimed at his neck. Sharp teeth.
He reacted instinctively and fell to the ground again, just in time to get under the flying black shadow. However, his movements were a bit slow. When he fell, his head could not completely avoid the black shadow’s attack. The eyeball was scratched by the black shadow’s sharp claws.
A sharp pain came from his eyes. He knew that his left eye was damaged, but he did not bother to check the injury. The danger brought by the black shadow did not disappear. He had to rush into the middle of his men again and was pushed by them. Then he rushed towards the square again.
Linde did not leave the square at this moment, but waited for the Ironborn to come to the door. Almost everyone who rushed to the square died under his sword before they could figure out what was going on.
After killing hundreds of people, Linde also noticed that there was something wrong with these ironmen, because according to common sense, no matter how bloodthirsty and warlike these ironmen were, seeing so many corpses in the square and seeing him single-handedly Killing so many people would definitely create a sense of fear and lead them to flee from here.
But the reality is that these ironmen completely sacrificed their lives and kept attacking Linde as if they had transformed into the most heroic warriors in the world.
“Something’s wrong!” The abnormal behavior of these ironmen made Lind immediately realize what was going on. At the same time, he also discovered that the ironmen leader who had just escaped from his sword had returned to the square at this moment, but it was the same as before. The left eye seemed to be seriously injured, and some blood flowed out from the gap in the palm covering the left eye.
Seeing this, Linde swung his swords and killed the four ironmen who rushed towards him, then turned around and rushed towards the ironmen leader.
The Ironborn leader had an astonishing intuition about danger and once again felt the threat of death. At the same time, the whispering voice appeared in his ears again. As if he had been guided by something, he crossed the fence at the edge of the square without hesitation. Before Lind killed the ironborn blocking the way and launched an attack on him, he jumped towards the new cliff ahead.
