Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King
Chapter 72
At dawn, Urik Shad boarded the ship.
Looking back, various flags fluttered in the wind on the shore, and groups of soldiers trotted to board the hundreds of longships lined up on the pier. Even under such circumstances, the army still maintained basic order. Huddled together in a mess.
The dark brown leather armor, the dark scimitar, and the dark yellow shield exuded a murderous and bloodthirsty atmosphere.
This is the elite army of the Dane family!
Urik took a deep breath, and his mouth and nose seemed to be filled with the smell of rust, which made him full of ambition.
The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that Gao Yin City still did not send anyone to join the battle.
And bewitched by that hateful "Dark Star" Jelo Dane, many vassal knights of the Dane family also rejected his call.
Of course, this is to be expected.
As the most powerful branch of the Dane family, those guys in Gaoyin City naturally cannot have the same heart as him.
Maybe they are still eager to see themselves fail, so that Dane of Gaoyin City will have a chance to enter the Starfall City.
But how could he fail.
Urik smiled dismissively.
Although this battle was very hasty, it was definitely not a decision he made on a whim and in a feverish mind.
He is deliberate.
He had inquired about the situation on Yingzui Island long ago. There were no more than 200 soldiers who were truly worthy of a battle, but on his side, he had summoned nearly 2,000 elite soldiers!
Moreover, the opponent's castle has not yet been built, and it is the weakest time. If he does not take this opportunity to defeat him and wait for the opponent to gain a firm foothold, then Starfall City will have a headache and feel helpless.
"My lord, the soldiers have boarded the ship!"
"Okay!" Urik nodded, turned to face the direction of Yingzui Island, waved his hand vigorously, and said loudly, "Let's go!"
"yes!"
With one order, hundreds of white sails were unfolded one after another, like a crescent moon under the blowing of the sea breeze.
The blade-sharp bow split the waves and headed towards Yingzui Island.
This movement startled countless seabirds, circling and singing over the fleet.
No one noticed that among these seabirds, a huge falcon with a pure white tail also swooped past the fleet, and there seemed to be a touch of human emotion in its sharp eagle eyes.
The next moment, the falcon flapped its wings violently, and shot straight into the sky like a sharp arrow, never to be seen again.
...
In a blink of an eye, the falcon came to Yingzui Island and circled over the lord's cabin.
This scene quickly attracted the attention of many citizens.
At this moment, the wooden door of the hut opened and Samwell came out. The falcon immediately swooped down and finally landed on his shoulder.
"My people! The enemy is coming, are you ready to fight?"
"Willing to kill the enemy for Lord Caesar!"
"Master Caesar is invincible!"
...
Amidst the cheers, Nora stared at Samwell and the falcon on his shoulders, her eyes were a little straight.
"Mother." Natalie leaned into her ear, "Lord Caesar, has he also been favored by the old gods?"
Nora was still staring at Samwell:
"Yes."
Natalie tilted her head suspiciously: "But... isn't he a knight of the Seven Gods?"
"I don't know either..." Nora shook her head lightly, her tone a bit erratic, "But since God arranged it like this, there must be His reasons."
...
Just after noon, it was the time when the sun was at its most venomous.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Urik could already see the outline of Yingzui Island from a distance.
As the ship continued to move forward, the situation on the shore became more and more clear, but his brows were slightly frowned.
"Huh? Lord Urik, the people in Hewan seem to know that we are coming." The attendants behind him clearly saw the situation on Yingzui Island.
Urik snorted softly, and said: "It seems that there are still a lot of river-bend spies in Starfall City who slipped through the net. But it doesn't matter, so what if we let them prepare in advance? After so few days, don't they Can you repair a castle?"
These words immediately made everyone behind him burst into laughter.
Obviously, none of them took Yingzui Island's resistance seriously.
After laughing for a while, Urik's face gradually became serious. Seeing that he was getting closer to the beach, he ordered in a deep voice:
"Blow the horn and prepare to land!"
"yes!"
Woo--
"Kill!"
Amidst the low-pitched horns and the loud shouts of killing, one after another of the long ships rushed to the beach headed by the wind and waves.
Before the boat stopped, the soldiers of Dorn jumped out, stepping on knee-high water and rushing towards the shore.
But after rushing for a while, they were stunned.
Because the expected enemy did not appear at all.
There was no one on the shore.
Of course, it's not really that there are no people at all, but they are all hiding far behind the fortifications composed of ditches and wooden fences.
what to do? Do you want to keep going?
The Dornish soldiers were all at a loss. After all, the Shangguan's order was only to let them land on the beach, and did not let them continue to charge the enemy's position.
At this time, Urik also discovered the abnormality on the shore.
"Don't these Hewan people have the guts?" He sneered.
You must know that facing the enemy from the sea, it is the best choice for the defender to line up on the beach, because those soldiers who have endured the waves all the way are very tired, not to mention that there is no formation at all when they get off the boat , which is when the attacker is most vulnerable.
Unexpectedly, the Hewan people would rather hide behind the fortifications than block them on the beach while they were not firmly established.
What a bunch of cowards!
Urik suddenly felt a little uninterested, as if the victory came too easily, but it made him feel boring.
He was on a large boat with a deep draft, and he couldn't rush to the beach like those dexterous long boats, so he docked at the pier.
That's right, the Riverbenders didn't even destroy the pier.
This made Urik feel that he was not here to fight, but to visit.
"My lord, do you want to continue the attack?"
As soon as he disembarked, a knight came to inquire.
Urik smiled faintly, and said, "Don't worry yet. Let the soldiers go ashore to recuperate, eat something, and recover their strength."
"yes!"
Thus, the opening of this battle kicked off in this slightly weird atmosphere.
Both sides seemed to be in no hurry, one side hid behind the fortifications and could not come out, while the other side went ashore leisurely and ate dry food.
If someone who didn't know saw it, they would think it was a well-discussed exercise.
But obviously, this is not a drill.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, following Urik's order, the Dornishmen finally launched the first wave of attack on the position of the people of the Riverbend.
With more than 300 pioneer warriors, armed with scimitars, wearing leather armor, and shouting loud slogans to charge, the bloody chapter of this war finally opened.
