Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

In the bright sky, the sun is high, shining unobstructedly on the mountain tops. The heat of the sun makes the mist on the sea disappear.

Bern Sigvald tried hard to concentrate, and then he saw clearly that the invaders had at least sixty longships.

Twenty of them had docked at the seaside, and at least sixty people jumped off each ship.

Wearing leather helmets and armor, holding shields, equipped with scimitars and spears, they gathered along the zigzag coast, forming a neat array and advancing forward.

The invading army in front of them numbered about 1,500 people, but in the river bend area ruled by the Sigvald family, the total number of men and boys was only more than 2,000.

What's more, the invaders still have forty longships that have not landed.

At this time, these forty long boats were forming a long line, rowing the famous oars hard up the river.

Elihu Phoenix stood on the first boat. He shouldered the responsibilities of commander and lookout, staring at the river in front of him without blinking.

As he sailed through the river bend, a strong current suddenly rushed the longboat to the south bank. Elihu lost his balance and fell to the bottom of the boat.

He could hear the sound of rapids flowing, and he could also see, a few feet away to the right, a rapid river made of white foam. There were sharp rocks in the middle, like sharp blades, blocking any ship that dared to approach.

"Stop going, stop!"

Elihu shouted in a strangely accented language: "Turn your head! Turn your head quickly!"

He quickly stood up, took out an oar, plunged it into the water, and tried to fix the hull with the crew.

"Your calculations are wrong."

He eagerly yelled at the Forest Walker Commander: "Think of a solution quickly. The flow of this river is much faster than you expected."

"Minato, it's Minato! Our people guarding the water gate failed, everyone rowed hard!"

Forest Walker shouted, "Paddle quickly! Or we'll run aground!"

At the same moment, he felt the side of the ship scrape against the rocks, making a tooth-aching friction sound.

——

Things were indeed as the forest walker guessed. Not long ago, Elihu led the long boat up the river, and their cheers awakened the Iban people's gathering place closest to the coast.

Bern Sigwald's son Segel was stationed here. He was used to getting up early. As soon as he woke up from his sleep, he immediately saw strange ships suddenly appearing on the seashore.

Listening to the different languages ​​these people shouted to each other, he quickly woke up the villagers and sent people to notify other gathering places. Then he began to escort the villagers to evacuate to the mountains and canyons.

Segel asked the women and children to hide in a cave behind the cliff, and sealed the entrance of the cave with leaves and stones. Without bothering to look for his father, he quickly led the men towards the water gate.

On the way back, he saw most of the long boats rowing into the river bend. If they could use the water gate to kill these boats and then gather all the men in the gathering place, the Sigvald family would have enough resistance.

The Iban people are a warlike race, and every household has war-ready weapons. The men all hold axes and shields, following closely behind the leader's son, ready to fight to save their lives.

The water gate was surrounded by water mist, and no one could be seen or heard.

Segel was the wise man of the Sigvald family. He was very cautious. He stretched out his hand to stop the men who were just yelling and wanting to rush out, and carefully looked at the white mist.

Several short and thin figures appeared vaguely and then disappeared. In just a moment, he concluded that these figures were definitely not the Iban people guarding the water gate.

Segel did not call out to test, and quietly retreated with the soldiers without revealing their whereabouts. Using his familiarity with the terrain, he quickly went around to the canyon upstream of the river.

They took off their heavy clothes, smeared their bodies with whale oil that they usually chewed, raised their axes and shields, and without hesitation, jumped naked into the cold and biting water, and floated downstream along the current.

When they almost reached the water gate, they completely submerged their figures in the water to hide their traces. They sneaked closer and aimed their axes at the enemy warriors gathered together.

In an instant, the short axes were fired, and several wooden men were hit by the sharp axes. They rolled to the ground wailing. The Iban people jumped out of the water and rushed forward, trying to kill these people who were so weak that they could not even look down on them. The intruder was split into two pieces.

There were not many wooden figures, and they were suddenly attacked. After a while, they were trampled to the ground. The Iban warrior showed no mercy, picked up the ax, shouted a war cry, and hacked at the wooden figures on the ground. .

Segel looked at the long boat that was about to arrive at the bend of the river. He hurriedly stepped forward, loudly summoned everyone, and pushed the winch together to completely open the water gate, which originally had only a two-foot gap.

The blocked water flow instantly surged out, causing the downstream river to become turbulent immediately.

——

The river was turbulent, and all forty long boats were crowded in front of the river bend. The crew could not control the boats to turn around, because once they went sideways, the long boats would be tilted by the current.

If you want to continue going upstream, you will be swept away by the rapids behind the bend and float back to the south bank of the river again. You may even crash into those sharp-edged rocks.

Fortunately, each ship had more than half of the forest walker oarsmen. With their superb boat handling skills, they were able to delay the forty longships until now without capsizing.

"This is crazy, we can't push through the rapids anymore."

The forest walker commander looked at the water ahead and shouted to Elihu:

"The crew's physical strength is about to be exhausted. We must use this last time to command all ships to exit the river one by one."

"You take command, send out flags, and tell them to retreat!" Elihu shouted in shame and rage.

When his boat was in the rapids, it would always hit the long boat behind him. He was not familiar with this kind of rocking, and he couldn't even stand firm.

Under the sunshine, Elihu's whole body was wet and shining with water. He lay on the boat in embarrassment, looking to the west.

Under the command and control of the flag in the hands of the Forest Walker, the longships gave up their oars one after another, carefully controlled and stabilized the hull, and floated back to the sea along the current.

He looked back at the front again, at the very close gathering place behind the river bend. It was the residence of the Sigvald family and was the target of his raid.

Although Elihu decisively issued the order to retreat, he was not willing to do so.

If we launch an attack from the coast, we can only attack from the front. At that time, we will inevitably suffer some losses. In front of us, there is only a bend in Iban Island, and behind us are Iban Port and Iban Nou, those big cities. He needs to conquer.

Thinking of this, he blinked his eyes, his eyes filled with tenacity. He gritted his teeth and grabbed an oar, picked up an exhausted warrior, and sat on the other side's seat. He shouted loudly:

"This is the Dothraki's first battle after the coronation of the great Khal. All the Dothraki in the grassland and the holy city are watching us. We cannot retreat or fail."

"Everyone obeys my arrangements and orders. There is no need to hold back. Use all your strength. If the river wants to embrace us into its arms, then today will be the day."

There was no sound in response. Everyone bent down, breathing heavily in silence, waiting for the command to be given with firm eyes.

The Volantis man looked back, with an ugly smile on his scarred face.

"go ahead."

After giving the order, everyone rowed hard, and even the forest walker commander rolled up his sleeves to help.

The oarsmen were immersed in the silvery water, their hair and eyes were wet with sweat and river water, and they rowed hard one by one.

In a focused situation, they have difficulty determining whether they are moving at all.

However, slowly, they gradually moved away from those jagged rocks and returned to the middle of the river. They used their last strength to paddle across the river bend and slide to the north bank.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Commander Forest Walker seemed to have discovered something. He stood up and took out the longbow hanging from his back.

He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the dark shadow on the other side. With every arrow he shot, a scream came from the shore, but Elihu and the others sat at the bottom of the boat and couldn't see anything.

The water flow gradually slowed down, giving the crew a chance to breathe. The forest walker's longbow was still singing, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air was like the sound of a harp, composing a warrior song.

Then, the long boat seemed to touch the bottom of the river, and there was a strong vibration, which made everyone lie down, followed immediately by the sounds of many footsteps and shouts.

Everyone quickly raised their heads and looked towards the shore, only to see dozens of Iban people holding short axes and shields rushing towards here.

"The Dothraki charge forward with me, the forest walkers behind."

"Attack! Attack!"

Elihu put on an iron helmet, held a warhammer and jumped out of the ship first, pointing at the Iban warriors and roaring loudly, the sound was like the roar of muffled thunder.

He advanced slowly under the cover of the warriors' shields, and the forest walkers behind him also provided precise arrow support, so no throwing axes could harm him.

When the distance between the two sides was close, he was like a crazy giant beast, stepping forward and rushing into the Iban team. His war hammer swept across, causing heavy casualties among the surrounding enemy arrays.

Elihu trampled on the corpse and continued to move forward, not caring about the enemies who were ready to move. The Iban soldiers could only bite the bullet and launched another charge, but the result was still the same. Their siege was like sand and stone facing the waves. Like a blow, it was instantly disintegrated.

They didn't know what it would be like for the world's most valiant warriors to fight, but at that moment, the blood of corpses on the ground and the tragically wailing injuries became a lingering shadow in their hearts.

The terror of the man in front of them was beyond their imagination. They dropped their weapons and shields, the forest walkers also loosened their bow strings, and everything fell into deathly silence.

——

The Dothraki warriors who landed on the coast faced a tough battle.

After opening the water gate, Segel, the young son of Bourne, saw the invaders' long boats circling on the river, so he went to gather men with confidence. From the mountains to the forest, he quietly summoned all the men in each gathering place to gather together. Fight against the enemies invading the Sigvald family territory.

He did not choose to sound the alarm, making the invaders mistakenly think that they were still sleeping. At the same time, he used his familiarity with the terrain to launch a successful raid. Teams of Iban warriors rushed down the slope and pressed the enemy tightly towards them. beach, but then, the opponent set up a defensive formation.

Segel, who was just sixteen years old, had never encountered such an enemy. Faced with this closely coordinated array, he was helpless and could only look sadly at the Iban soldiers who died tragically under the enemy's spears one after another.

The sand on the beach was dyed red with blood. I am afraid that only the next day's tide can wash the ground clean.

"prick."

Standing behind the array, wearing a Dothraki collar with a horsetail decoration on his helmet, he issued orders very calmly.

The warrior hiding behind the tower shield swung the bloody spear in his hand and stabbed forward according to the sound, not knowing how many people he had killed.

In fact, the leader was not as calm as he appeared. Instead, he was full of doubts. The battle plan was jointly formulated by Elihu and him: attack from both ends, take the enemy by surprise and attack him unprepared.

He was leading more than a thousand soldiers easily towards the gathering place of the Iban people, preparing to respond to Elihu, with the goal of preventing the enemy from escaping northward.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly attacked by the enemy's main force and had to retreat backwards. When he realized that the ground under his feet had become uneven, he had no way out and had to choose to fight from behind.

Why have so many accidents happened? Elihu has been out of contact until now.

Segel, who was standing opposite the Dothraki leader, was equally worried. He looked up to the south from time to time. He had already sent someone to contact his father Bourne and the elite warriors of the family, but until now, there was no response from either side. Message response.
