Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 252 Flags Flying

The wind grew stronger.

The flags on Old Oak City fluttered as a result.

The golden tree banner waved fiercely, inspiring the Rowan soldiers standing in strict formation below, and the crossbows, bows and arrows, swords, and long spears in their hands.

The oak leaf banner rustled, summoning the Oakheart soldiers, who rushed to assemble and build defenses.

Renly's stag banner could also boost morale.

Only the Tyrells' golden rose banner, though equally enthusiastic, left the soldiers unsure whether to respond to its call.

After all, the enemy ranks outside the castle also had a golden rose banner flying. And it was the first.

Beneath the golden rose banner, the enemy arrogantly approached step by step, even reaching within a hundred paces. Yet the defenders on the city walls still did not react.

This was not without reason.

In the days since being besieged, these enemies wearing hexagrams had demonstrated terrifying magic to them.

At first, there was the "daily training" of that "cannon."

Seeming to be wary of something, or perhaps simply out of arrogance, the cannon's power did not directly descend on Old Oak City, but instead chose to ravage the land around the castle.

Even so, the soldiers of the entire city could still see the horror of the cannon and the desperate battle they might face in the future from the miserable land and fortifications.

Then there was the rash approach of the "hexagrams."

Dozens or hundreds of enemies wearing shiny armor, walking towards the tall city walls and thirty thousand soldiers. It was simply a foolish and laughable act of suicide.

Old Oak City, of course, fully counterattacked.

However, all the soldiers who went out of the city for close combat were killed, but the hexagrams did not leave a single corpse.

Clearly, many attacks had landed on them!

Similarly, neither arrows, stones, nor flames and hot oil could kill these hexagrams! It was as if they were truly warriors of the gods!

The hexagrams easily walked to the city, at most making some marks, and then leisurely returned, as if the arrows and stone balls constantly falling on their heads were really just a drizzle, and they were on a picnic.

What obvious, what dazzling mockery and flaunting. The soldiers on the city wall could only watch dryly, helpless.

Undoubtedly, this caused an unprecedented blow to the morale of Old Oak City.

In such a situation, with the spread of various rumors about King Joffrey, the soldiers in the city really did not want to resist anymore.

Anyway, no matter what, they couldn't kill so many people, right.

Surrender.

Everyone in Old Oak City had heard this word, and almost no one strongly opposed it.

Although Duke Tywin behind King Joffrey did not have a good relationship with their family, it was not to the point of a deadly feud. When it was time to compromise, choosing to yield was not shameful.

Under the expectations of tens of thousands of soldiers, Earl Mathos Rowan sent out five negotiation teams in a row, all led by wise and peaceful elder earls.

But the final result was that there was no news.

If people hadn't seen the envoys walk into the camp of the large army outside the city, they would have thought that the negotiation team was lost in the wilderness.

Unfortunately, it wasn't.

Duke Tywin must have known Old Oak City's intention to negotiate, but there was no response.

Why?

People did not dare to think deeply, they could only hold hope and send out the next team, waiting in the city with a fluke, enjoying this moment of stability, peace, and active life.

The voice of "fighting out of the city" was not absent, but it was also extremely weak and gradually dissipated.

Everyone with a normal brain should understand: human flesh and blood are not even as good as grass paper under those iron balls and big explosions, and it is no more difficult for the weird hexagram warriors to kill people than to kill a chicken.

What's more, even the number is no match. There are 30,000 troops of King Joffrey just outside the city, what about the other places in the Seven Kingdoms?

Old Oak City only has itself.

The soldiers on the city wall looked down. The golden rose banner of Highgarden was very, very close, enough for people to distinguish the figure below it with the naked eye.

The leading knight was wearing white armor, with golden roses embroidered on his cloak, and complex breastplates seemed to be engraved with roses.

"I am Garlan Tyrell, the second heir to Highgarden, the first governor of Old Oak City…" The man's voice was unusually loud, and somewhat familiar.

Many people knew him, or had heard of him.

But few people could imagine the scene of the two sides standing against each other today.

Tyrell actually led troops to capture Old Oak City?

Clearly, he raised troops for Highgarden, how could he get this kind of treatment?!

Shameful!!

Countless resentful gazes stabbed towards Garlan Tyrell below the city, as if to shoot him into a hedgehog with their sight.

But at the same time, the defending soldiers also noticed the two rows of flags behind the golden rose banner: King Joffrey's stag and golden lion banner and the "Guard"'s hexagram banner.

I'm afraid there are a thousand people. More than ten times more than the hexagrams who attacked before!

Behind these people, the golden lion banner of the West also moved around vigorously, stirring up bursts of smoke and dust. Duke Tywin's army was advancing towards Old Oak City!

Today is the end! From Earl Mathos Rowan to the lowest peasant soldier, everyone realized this.

"Storm's End has been recovered." Garlan Tyrell continued, "The main force of the rebellion has been wiped out under Storm's End, Renly and other culprits are either dead or surrendered, none escaped…"

This news instantly shocked the entire Old Oak City!

King Renly failed?!

Is this real?

Indeed, before being besieged, Old Oak City knew that King Renly and Duke Mace were both heading to Storm's End, preparing for a major battle or even a decisive battle.

So, this war failed?!

No wonder Highgarden abandoned Renly Baratheon and turned to King Joffrey!

Heh! As expected of the "Lord of Highgarden" Tyrell!

He could betray his lord for power three hundred years ago, so what is surprising about selling out his vassals for survival today?

The glorious old earls remembered the history of the Tyrell family's rise, and understood the current situation with disdain.

"Ser Jon Fossoway's troops were also defeated and surrendered in Stonebridge," Garlan Tyrell gave a message that was still extremely heavy, "Now they have gone south along the Mander, pacifying the rebellion and comforting the people along the way. Old Oak City is the last rebel army!"

Garlan took a deep breath and said, "You have no way out. Highgarden has sent 20,000 elite soldiers to recover Goldengrove, and it will be taken down soon. At that time, Old Oak City will no longer have any support!"

The Rowan family's Goldengrove!

Everyone couldn't help but look at Earl Mathos Rowan, only to see the commander-in-chief trembling, and finally burst out with a roar: "Garlan Tyrell! How dare Highgarden be so unfaithful! Aren't you afraid of the curse of the gods and the condemnation of all people?!"

Garlan turned a deaf ear, "The previous negotiation conditions are unacceptable! In the name of my governor of Old Oak City, everyone immediately abandons resistance and surrenders unconditionally!"

"Those who dare to resist will be destroyed!" Garlan raised his hand, "Attack!"

Bang! Bang! Bang…

The heavy city gate was blown to pieces, the Guards took the lead in entering the city, followed by tens of thousands of troops.
