The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Under the dense rain of arrows from Kleb's longbow, the savage coalition forces did not even touch the phalanx of Kleb's spearmen and began to retreat.

The mountain breeze is cold and stings the skin.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and wailing sounds could be heard everywhere.

The killing continues.

One of Kleb's tribesmen caught up with a fleeing mountain savage. The tribesman held the sword tightly in his hand and stabbed it into the mountain savage's armpit with a thud.

The sword pierced the savage's ribs and plunged into his heart. When the tribesman pulled out the sword, warm blood spurted out.

The Mason Knights bravely rushed to the front line.

Facing the spear coming from a mountain savage, he easily dodged sideways, took the opportunity to clamp the shaft of the spear with one hand, swung his sword quickly, and cut off the savage's head with one blow.

Kleb's long archers were divided into groups of 20 to 30 people and strangled in coordination.

The pursuit of the savages seemed like a one-sided massacre.

After the war, heavy rain came suddenly.

Green's tent.

Green, who was rarely leisurely, communicated with the commanders, and the atmosphere in the tent was harmonious.

Knight Pell, who was soaked by the heavy rain, hurriedly stepped into the tent where Green was. Pell, who had always been calm, now had a trace of anxiety on his face.

Pell stood in front of Green and bowed and saluted: "Good day, my lord!"

Green's eyes moved and his brows furrowed slightly: "Loyal Knight Pell, you have been working hard all the way. Is there an urgent military situation?"

Green's calm voice soothed Pell's anxious mood: "Yes, sir! The Horror Cave Castle suddenly took action. The Horror Cave Castle contacted the savage tribe with whom it had made friends. There are at least 10,000 of them. This is a declaration of war!"

Green took the letter of challenge from Pell with great interest and glanced at it with a mocking tone: "Oh, the Bren family of Terror Cave Castle? The Kleb family broke the tranquility of the Crab Claw Peninsula?"

The Crab Claw Peninsula, which belongs to the royal territory, is indeed a lawless place. If there is a conflict of interest between nobles, they can fight whenever they want. No one will remember that there is a Red Castle.

According to the laws of the kingdom, the nobles of the royal territory cannot attack each other without the order of the Red Castle.

Green stood up and walked to the table covered with a large map. Everyone gathered around, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Everyone did not wait too long. They stared at the map Green and pointed at a place with their fingers: "Here, Crescent Valley. Let's crush them here!"

Crescent Valley is located about twenty miles northeast of the camp where Green was stationed at this time. The exit and entrance of Crescent Valley are about 100 meters wide. The valley is relatively spacious and steep on both sides. The entire valley is shaped like a crescent moon, and the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula, who have profound cultural achievements, named it Crescent Valley.

Green then pointed to a flat area some distance away from the entrance to the Crescent Valley, and said, "Pell, send someone to reply to the Bren family, and Kleb will take over the battle. Let's decide the outcome here."

According to the information provided by Pell, the location chosen by Green for the fight was relatively fair in terms of the location of both parties. Green was not worried that they would not accept the offer.

There are other places with similar terrain such as Crescent Valley nearby. Green just chose a place that is easy to accept.

If Terror Cave Castle insists on rejecting all the places Green chooses, Green will simply give up the field battle, strengthen the defense of the camp on the spot, and rely on fortifications to fight defensive battles.

There are ten thousand people on the other side, and less than a thousand people on Kleb. If the news spreads, it will not affect the family honor.

What's more, Kleb took the initiative to make an appointment for a field trip, and the location he chose fully respected the tradition of the Crab Claw Peninsula.

……………………

As Green said, after confirming the location, the coalition forces of Terror Cave Castle and the Savages happily agreed.

The location of the decisive battle was very reasonable, in line with the tradition of the Crab Claw Peninsula, and no one suspected that there was some conspiracy.

Although he laughed at Green's youthful arrogance and overestimation of his abilities, he still admired his courage to fight, which was very characteristic of Crab Claw Peninsula.

At the appointed time three days later, Green arrived at the battle location with Amparo, his clan soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and Kleb soldiers disguised as surrendered prisoners.

In the dark savage formation, the flag displaying the emblem of the Brun family of Dreadhole Castle was extremely conspicuous.

Green observed that under the banner of the Bren family, there were about 200 soldiers forming a neat square formation compared to the surrounding savages.

The Brun family has about 50 pieces of armor and 20 horses, and they are richer than the Kleb family.

On Kleb's side, riding the war horse were Green and Emparo, plus several Green guards.

The poor Lord Green looked at the phalanx of the Bren family and sighed secretly. The armor and war horses needed for the trip to King's Landing are almost enough, and there is no need to spend additional money, saving a lot of golden dragons.

Sure enough, force is better than hard work.

Green suddenly understood that the ironborn probably understood the motto in a similar situation to him.

Amparo also finished his observation and said: "Lord Green, they have about 50 horses in total. It's a pity that Reina doesn't know how to ride and shoot. If there is one more person, it will be easier to shoot them down."

Green seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face: "I will dispatch two mounted guards to follow you. Remember to keep a safe distance. The first target of both of us is the charging cavalry."

No one knew what was going on in Green's mind, and no one would think that Green's mood suddenly improved because of the Bren family's equipment. At most, everyone would think that the war-savvy lord was excited about the upcoming battle.

Amparo said solemnly: "I understand, sir, please don't worry!"

Green reached out and patted Amparo's arm: "Well, I have always believed in you. It's time for you to have a pair of plate armor."

Emparu, who thinks in a straight line, rarely understood the meaning of Green's words immediately, and together with Green, they focused their attention on the Bren family's phalanx.
