Game of Thrones: Catastrophe
Chapter 70 - Chapter 70 The conditions of the church
By dawn, the detailed casualties were counted, and the coalition forces directly lost more than 400 knights, and more of the knights were missing. The original five thousand troops were only 2,800 knights and 1,000 infantrymen. As for In the Chicken Hall, Leonor asked people to search the battlefield and only picked up about eighty bodies.
The casualties of the night attack were too great. If the Westerners fought like this a few more times, I'm afraid the team would not be able to take over.
Leonor dispatched two thousand knights from Deep Crypt to supplement, then made adjustments to the strategic plan, accelerated the advancement to Lannister Port, vigorously cleared the small fortress and manor on the way, and waited for the Blue Road to take place on the flank. .
While vigorously clearing out the small fortresses and manors along the way, the knights also captured a considerable number of civilians from the West.
The civilians from the West also joined the resistance and were very determined. However, most of their battles were confused and they were extremely afraid of the knights. After the lord and the knights were defeated, they all chose to escape or surrender.
Leonor was very cruel to the nobles and knights, but was very lenient to the civilians. He asked about the reasons for joining the war, except for a very few who were determined to defend their homeland, most of them answered. All:
"I don't know!"
"It was the bishop who said he wanted this!"
"The priest let us do this."
"The Seven Gods ask us to do this."
They are still confused, but it can be roughly inferred that their joining the war was a boost to the fire.
Westeros, the Seven Gods of Andals are an existence that cannot be ignored. They are the mainstream culture of society and the source of the knight system. The civilians are afraid of the noble knights on the surface and cursed in their hearts, but they are from the inside out to the outside of the gods. obedience.
If it is the help of the Seven Gods Priests, then the mobilization ability of the Western Region is understandable.
Leonor found out the source of the Western mobilization ability ascendance, and immediately sent a crow to King's Landing City, asking Vincent to try to solve the problem from the Archbishop.
The crow flew away and flew back, bringing the church reply conveyed by Vincent.
The church expressed its willingness to solve the problem, but also put forward corresponding conditions. First, it hopes that Leonor can repay the 1.6 million golden dragons owed to the church during Robert's period as soon as possible, and second, it hopes that the church can be in front of the future king's imperial decree. The meeting has a place. If the latter can be agreed, the church can exempt part of the debts from the former. If it is willing to appoint a certain archbishop as the hand of the king, the church is willing to exempt all debts.
"Those guys in the church are not good at vegetarianism and worshipping God, but they are good at doing business! They dare to take advantage of the situation to fight my disaster."
Leonor grinded his teeth in his heart when facing the church's proposal, but he suppressed his anger and wrote a letter to Vincent, asking him to talk to the church on his behalf, return part of the debt, and then urge him to The church will solve this problem first.
As long as the war in the Western Front ended successfully, he would let the guys in the church spit out whatever they ate.
It took about a week to travel, write letters and talk instructions. After receiving 300,000 gold dragon funds, the church sent chaotic crows, requiring all priests in the Western Region to no longer cooperate with the princes in the Western Region to incite civilians to join the war. Violators will be dismissed from their churches. .
While ordering the priests are prohibited from participating in the war, the church also sent some low-level priests and nuns to the frontline to help appease civilians and treat the wounded.
With the help of the church, Leono's army no longer suffered strong resistance from the military and civilians in the West. In addition, he released Kawawa and the savages who were waiting for him to release the news. The savage tribes in the Mingyue Mountains no longer believed in the West and began to gather their tribes and flee. Many Western Knights began to watch the battle and directly escaped from the main force of the Western Army.
The main focus of the situation is that when a wall falls down, everyone pushes it, and when thousands of people beat it.
Without the desperate resistance of the civilians and the harassment of the savages, Leono's army was unstoppable and directly attacked the city of Lannister Port.
He originally planned to fight the Western Frontier Army at Lannister Port, destroying most of the Western Frontier forces here and reducing the difficulty of siege in Kaiyan City, but when his army arrived here, the city fires were everywhere and black smoke was seen. Like a cloud.
The Lannister family was very determined and withdrew all their troops and set fire to the city, even if it was burned to white ground, it would not be left to Leono.
"These bastards!" Leono looked at the rising flames in the city and couldn't help but curse. Those lions were really cruel.
The Lannister port was crying and screaming, and many people were anxious to try out the fire. Leonor was hesitant and entangled in his heart when he saw this situation.
His most important task now should be to command the army to the north and pursue the remnants of Lannister's army.
If he was lucky enough, he could even bit the remaining troops into Kaiyan City, saving the most difficult siege battle, but in this case, Lannister Port would have to be burned to white land and many people would be displaced.
If he stayed, he might be able to save some of the Port of Lannister, but the people here may not necessarily thank him, and he will definitely add a bunch of burdens afterwards.
Because surviving residents have to eat and drink, it will definitely increase their logistics burden.
This may also be the reason why the Lannister family wants to set fire to the city!
"Fuck." Leonor swears. Why can't Lannister's people be stupid? Can't they let themselves kill them obediently!
"What are you thinking?" Oberon rode to Leonor and asked him why he hadn't given orders to go north, so that he could catch up with some remaining soldiers.
"Loras and Abal led two thousand knights to pursue the north, and the infantry stayed behind, and went to the city to put out the fire, and sent some horse-riding servants back to the city of Shenzui to transport grain, and then sent crows to the King's Landing, High Court and Fengxi Fort, Let them transport grain from sea to the port of Lannister. "Leonor gave a series of orders to Arad beside him.
"Yes!" Arad, who was born in a flea nest, couldn't help but lit up when he heard Leonor's words. He quickly rode his horse to pass the order, and as for Deken, he served with a flag.
"Your Highness, please come to the city with me to command the fire." Leonor asked Oberon.
"It's no point in saving this city now." Oberon advised Leonor.
"It is not necessary to chase now. The defense of Kaiyan City is difficult to break in a short time. We need this place as a logistics transfer place." Leono casually found a reason for himself that looks very decent.
Oberon was about to refute, but after hearing Leonor say it, he couldn't help but turn his head around, it seemed like this was the case!
"We will still rule the Western border after the war. Our practices in the past are very unfriendly to them. If we save here, we can tell the civilians in the Western border that we are not here to destroy them." Leono found another reason.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Oberron was convinced, there was nothing wrong with it, so just do it!
"Let your sand snake group be on guard. My infantry is responsible for putting out the fire. Now it is the southeast wind. Demolition of the houses in the southeast direction and stop the fire from spreading......" Leono looked at the situation in the city. , start issuing a series of fire-fighting orders.
