The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming
Chapter 916: Ironwood City Surrender
Roger Elion is the heir of the Green Blood River God City, and his wife, Ian Ellenwood, is the eldest daughter of Count Anders. When Will ordered Roge's head to be cut off, Mrs. Laura and Miss Jonissa both pleaded for Roge.
Once Roge died, Divine Grace City would have no heir. Ellenwood also has a young girl, Gunisel Ellenwood, but she can no longer support the inheritance of the Ellenwood family.
Both families are currently sparsely populated. Anders’ nephew and son have been killed in Valantis on the other side of the narrow sea, and killed the people of Brytus and nephew Archibald, the heir of Count Anders. , Also Will.
Mrs. Laura believes that Roge can be used to blackmail Anders and the Elion family in the City of Grace, while Jonissa believes that the killing will not win the favor of the Dorn nobles.
But Will still ordered Luo Ge to cut off his head, hang it with bamboo poles, and ordered the soldiers to stand the bamboo poles by the moat.
Soon, Earl Anders got the news and came to the wall to see that the son-in-law Roge's head and eyebrows were gushing, and his eyes widened, hanging on the high bamboo pole.
Anders was dark in front of his eyes and almost fell, and the guards around him quickly supported him.
With a military whistle from Will, two griffins hovered over the moat, guarding Roge's head. There was a general who risked to rush down and grab Roge's head. Count Anders refused and ordered to stick.
The three major city gates were blasted open, and the raven was eaten by the griffon when it was released. In the middle of the night, Roge was sent to move the rescuers, but was caught and beheaded, and the external information of the city of Irenwood was completely cut off. At this point, no matter how firm Anders' loyalty is, the soldiers have no fighting spirit.
Will disintegrated the morale of the soldiers in Elenwood City without a single soldier.
Morale is very important and equals combat power.
Anders ordered the whole city to hold on, but secretly made people go out from the east gate, pierced a raft, and descended down the eastward river. If you were lucky, you could not fall to death under the waterfall cliffs of the lofty mountains and go to the Dorn Sea. If you find the Fishermen's Village in Dorn by the shore of Dorn, you can go to Sunji City and report the news of the destruction of Irunwood City to Prince Doran.
Anders’ verbal message to the dying soldiers was that the city of Irenwood could hold on for at most a week.
Fortunately, Will did not attack on the day after beheading Roge. At noon that day, the steady stream of soldiers on the hillside all moved to the flat ground below the mountain, only a moat separated from the city of Elenwood. The camp tents on the hillside more than doubled, and new troops were stationed.
Arya came with a mixed army of five thousand five hundred people. In addition to the banner that Will's army had, there was an extra banner: the Ice Wolf Banner. A running ice wolf on a gray background is the family crest of the Stark family in the north.
Hearing the vigorous noise outside the city, the guards of the Ellenwood soldiers understood that the enemy had come to reinforce the army. The centurion and the generals looked at Count Anders and looked a little strange. If the earl listened to Sir Roger, He opened the city gates earlier and launched a surprise attack on Will's army, and he was bound to win a big victory. Now it's alright, the enemy's real army is here, and Irenewood is at a disadvantage in terms of number of troops and morale.
The Earl of Anders ordered the soldiers of the city to be ready for battle. Once again, the walls were full of archers, and under the walls were full of spearmen. After this level was defeated by the enemy, the soldiers all retreated behind the street wall and started a street battle with the enemy. If the street battle fails, all retreat into the inner city and engage in inner city street fighting with the enemy.
Count Anders has sworn an oath to fight the enemy to the end for Dorne.
This gave the soldiers a little morale, and the whole army would not lose morale.
Just when Anders plucked up the courage of the soldiers to fight the enemy, who knew that the enemy would not attack the city even when the large troops arrived and their strength was superior, but continued to brazenly rest, play, drink, Singing and dancing, there is no plan to attack the city.
The generals of Irenwood stood on the wall, completely unable to understand the enemy's intentions.
Obviously, a battle might be able to win the city of Irenwood, but the enemy did not even mean to go to war when various situations were dominant, as if they were here to play, not to fight.
Count Anders is determined to initiate a war, but at this time I really dare not fight. The enemy's forces are stronger than them. If you go outside the city to fight, the opponent has a griffon to help, that is, you are looking for a dead end. The time when the city of Irenewood fell.
The morale raised by Count Anders, when it gets dark, the enemy has no intention or preparation to attack. The morale raised is naturally vented. The so-called rush, when there is no enemy coming, the morale is naturally Weak.
At night, Earl Anders was afraid that the enemy would come to rob the city and he personally took armor to defend the city. The earl took the lead and defended the city himself. This gave the soldiers the courage to regard death as home. However, the soldiers in the city stayed with the earl until dawn, and the enemy had no intention of going to war. At dawn, the outside of the city was dinged and the soldiers washed the pot. Cooking, singing loudly, laughing and playing, it was fun.
The earl went down to rest and sleep, but worried that the enemy would attack during the day, so he sent the family henchmen to urge the soldiers to stick to the wall. Nothing happened for a day, as long as the soldiers had no intention of blocking the city gate, the Griffins on the other side would not bother to dispatch.
As if the two sides had their own tacit understanding, the carpenters and masters in the city did not repair the city gates, and the people outside the city did not even attack the city with the griffon.
After three days in a row, the minds of the soldiers who actively defended the city were also slack, and Earl Anders himself also felt tired.
Outside the city, because most of them are from Dorn, sometimes because of singing, or other warriors with similar accents, they still chat with each other across the river for a while. Outsiders who come here will only regard both sides as soldiers of the same camp, and will not regard it as a hostile relationship.
From the exchanges between the soldiers, Anders received a piece of news that he did not want to admit: King Tomb City had been taken by Will, the Earl of Manwood died in battle, and all the guards surrendered except those who died in the battle. Now, Mrs. Laura of Blaim City led all the soldiers of Blaim City to surrender to Will, and assisted Will in taking the King's Tomb City.
As expected, Wangzhong City was not attacked from the outside, but the enemy attacked from the inside.
After the enemy took the King Tomb City, they swung their troops to Irenwood City. Why didn't the letter crows in King Tomb City send a message? Anders naturally understood that with two such mighty griffins, no amount of ravens would help. It is only useful to send out soldiers to pass the news.
Will staying still was also in line with Count Anders’ wishes. He sent a ten-man scout to the high mountains to the east, hoping that one or more of the scouts who were walking along the Dorn Sea could go out smoothly. The news that Wangzhong City had fallen came to Prince Daolang's ears.

0916 Chapter 2
night.
Pitch black.
I can't see my fingers.
The walls are brightly lit.
The soldiers guarding the city were obviously tired. Although their eyes were open, they had no intention of fighting.
More soldiers were sleeping and fell asleep.
Even the citizens of the city hiding in the underground passage of the city couldn't bear to come out. They went back to their home and slept comfortably.
Count Anders is also sleeping.
In the main castle of the inner city, the torch illuminates the street outside.
The soldiers patrolled in groups of five and ten. After midnight, it was difficult to see the patrolling team on the street.
The inner city fell asleep.
In the sky, in the night, there is the sound of the wind blowing the air with wings.
But the distance was too high and far, and no one noticed it.
The soldiers on duty were also resting in the street guards.
On the high spire of the main castle of the earl, a griffon fell gently, and five people came down on the back of the griffon, of which Arya was the head.
The griffin fluttered into the air, and another griffin fell down, and landed on the top of the tall Bachelor Tower. Five people descended from the griffin, and Will was the main one.
Arya led four grey-clothed swordsmen down the stairs at the top of the tower, climbed into the tower, and started to kill from the highest first floor. Five people and five swords, every house turned in, either through the window or through the door, and when there was a door against it, they forcibly split the door and rushed in to kill.
When the sound here finally alarmed the earl in his sleep, Arya and others had already reached the third floor, only one floor away from the room where the earl slept.
The guards of the guard immediately rushed to the third floor, and then every guard had a blood hole in his throat for an instant. No one of the five guards on the second floor could stop the opponent with a sword, and they were all killed by a stab.
When Arya entered the earl’s room with four grey-clothed assassins, Will led the four grey-clothed assassins all the way from the top of the tower to the bottom of the tower. The apprentice and the raven were all killed. Two of the guards were killed easily and effortlessly.
Will and his party did not encounter any resistance, and Bachelor Tower's defense was useless.
When the earl took his little daughter Guan Nisai to escape from the main castle, he happened to hit Will and the five people who came from the Bachelor Tower.
Count Anders did not choose to fight. He dropped the sword in his hand. Without fear on his face, he said loudly: "Who is the captain, please take me to see Lord Will."
"I am!" Will said.
Anders looked at Will, who was dressed in black. The count couldn't see Will's face clearly because of the light.
Prime Minister Will came to assassinate him personally, which shocked the earl. The Prime Minister of Martial Arts Seven Kingdoms once had a famous figure: Jon Clinton. Compared with Jon Clinton, Lord Will is more brave than Jon.
"Master Will, I'm willing to die, can you please let go of my little girl Guan Nissie Irenwood."
Will hasn't answered yet. Arya led four people out of the main gate of the earl's main castle. The five of them were **** and had killed everyone in the earl's family: family, servants, and guards.
Will said, "You kneel down and be beheaded by me. I will spare your little daughter Guan Nisai's life."
"Thank you Lord Will." Anders knelt, kowtow, and put the little girl Guan Nisai down on the ground.
The little girl was about to cry with a grin, and one shot, the hilt hit the little **** the head, knocking the little girl out.
Will's Dragon Bone Sword was swung, and the sword cut off Anders' head. He raised his head in his hand and made a gesture. The ten people were divided into two groups and returned the same way. At the top of the tower, the Griffin flew down quietly to pick up the crowd and leave.
*
Early the next morning, erected on the high bamboo poles of the moat, there was another head: the head of Anders Irenewood.
The guards of the city were shocked when they saw it, and they rushed to send people into the inner city to see what happened. Soon, everyone in the city knew that the earl’s family had been assassinated last night, and that all the people in the Bachelor Tower and the earl’s main fort were killed. Died, the Earl’s only young daughter, Gunessy Irenewood, disappeared and is missing.
Outside the city, Will's army on the hillside began to move and all moved to camp under the mountain. Judging from their appearance, they still didn't mean to come to attack the city.
The soldiers in the city crowded the top of the city and came to see the head of Count Anders. The military spirit is floating, some want to fight to the death, some want to make peace, some want to abandon the city to escape, they decided to take the South Road official road, even if Will has an ambush on the official road, they are not afraid of a battle, and some have to implement the earl’s loyalty , Defending the city, delaying time, waiting for reinforcements.
No matter how the soldiers in the city talked or even drew their swords at each other, Will stayed still and watched the changes. The only tacit understanding between the two parties is that the soldiers and craftsmen of the city will be fine if they do not repair the city gates, and will not suffer any attack. As long as someone dares to build stones and move wood, they will inevitably be attacked by griffins.
No one can stop the griffon boulder attack!
Will sees that the enemy's army is impetuous and has no intention of fighting, but between surrendering and fleeing, they can't stand each other. So Will sent Mrs. Laura to lead his own troops to station on the South Gate Official Road, blocking the only way for the enemy to go south. He issued another military order, and the army was divided into five thousand teams, two thousand people stationed at the north gate, two thousand people stationed at the west gate, and one thousand people stationed at the south gate, helping Mrs. Laura and Miss Jonisa to guard the official road at the south gate.
The defenders in the city were shocked, thinking that Lord Will was finally going to attack in three ways. However, Will only ordered the troops to dig up, dig wide and deep trenches, and place dense antlers. The soldiers from the defense city rushed out. Obviously there is no plan to siege the city.
At dawn the next day, two more bamboo poles were added to the tall bamboo poles in the moat, with the heads of three generals hung on them. As the news spread, the soldiers and citizens of the city were all afraid. No one could tell how the enemy entered the city and killed the heads of the three generals.
At this point, some soldiers fell down the east gate with a rope and fled to the high mountains to the east. At night, the whole city was under martial law to guard against death. However, the next morning, four centurion heads were added to the bamboo poles by the moat.
The whole city was full of shock, and the soldiers and centurions were all shocked.
There is no doubt that there are terrible dark wizards in Will's army.
At noon, there was a loud bang in the city. The street wall built by Earl Anders was overthrown by the citizens of the city. The soldiers elected representatives, raised the flag of surrender, and tied them up. There were six generals in total. Come out of town and surrender to Will.
