The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Yangji City, Sand Boat Fort.

The ancient castle for thousands of years carries the history of the old Martell family.

After the news that the red viper Oberon was killed by Edric reached Sunji City, Prince Daolang stayed in the sandboat.

Outside the gate, the nobles of Yangji City and Shadow City came to see.

The savages and the rebels are slowly advancing towards the city of halberd, only a few days away. If they were Shama cavalry, they would arrive at the Shadow City in one day.

I don't know why, after the savages and the rebels joined forces, they only walked ten miles a day, five miles in the morning and five miles in the afternoon, and then they camped and rested.

This is a tactic that has never been heard of in any war: slow!

No matter what the nobles in Shadow City and Yangji City thought, the savages and rebels came slowly.

It's just that wherever you go, the nobles' things will be pushed away, all houses and farms will be confiscated, and then distributed to the civilians.

All the nobles in the east of Dorne gathered in Yangji City. First, Yangji City was sheltered by a curved wall. Secondly, Yangji City had the prince’s guard and city garrison. Third, the savages and rebels were slow. Nobles who don't want to be caught by wild men have enough time to escape.

This caused more and more nobles in Yangji City, and the people in the city were panicked. Everyone came to see Prince Daolang.

Prince Daolang avoided seeing him, staying in the sandboat forever, his captain He Ta blocked all the nobles who came to see him.

Before Princess Arianne rushed to the Salt Coast, the middle city south of Dorne, she heard about Namelia and Treney betraying and killing the five sisters. When she approached the Salt Coast, she heard about Ober. The upheaval when Prince Lun was killed by Edric.

Princess Arianne didn't believe in the rumors, she released the ravens, but all the ravens were gone.

After Arianne settled in the Salt Coast, she received a letter from her father, Prince Daolang, telling her that the East Army was defeated. Oberon and Aralia, the six sand snake sisters, were all killed by their own people, Ai Derek and Earl Earl surrendered to the savage army, and Namelia and Trani surrendered to the savage army and became the vanguard of the savage army.

The enemy's east road army now has more than 30,000 people, strong people and strong horses, and Xiangyang Jicheng slowly comes. Although it is slow every day, it will come to Yangji City one day.

At the end of the letter, Prince Daolang asked Arianne to give up the defense of the southern coastline, lead his cronies, take money, cross the sea to the other shore, be an exiled princess, or go to Arianne's mother's city: the free trade city of Benofus . Arianne's mother Melalio's family is a great noble of Novos, and has enough strength to protect Arianne Martel in the free trade city-state.

After receiving the letter, Arianne felt complicated, knowing that his father had stayed in Yangji City with a mortal heart. She also finally understood why Will was only advancing slowly. This was not only a carpet sweep of the nobles' territories, but also a chance for Prince Daolang to escape.

Arianne arrived at the Salt Coast and gathered an army of nearly 20,000 people. She gathered all the large and small ships along the coast, and sent scouts to conduct sea reconnaissance everywhere. The shadow of the enemy warship was never seen. The enemy's huge warship seemed to have disappeared in the distance. The open sea, never seen again.

Arianne decided to give up holding on to the Salt Coast, and decided to attack Will's Eastern Army and relieve the crisis in Yangji City. She advances by land and water. If something happens, she decides to take her father to escape from Yangji City, across the narrow sea and live in exile. With the wealth of the Martell family, they can go to the free trade city-state on the other side of the narrow sea. They can hide themselves, or they can rise quickly and become a rich man.

After the dark star Jero Dane left Sunji City, he hurried back to Gaoyin City, gathered the 10,000 troops left by Prince Oberon, and then forcibly conscripted in the west of Dorn and drained the west of Dorn. The final manpower will recruit five thousand civilian soldiers, with a total force of fifteen thousand soldiers. Before he could attack Ding Dong Shan and Thunder Fist Tormund, news of the collapse of the Eastern Army came to Gelo Dane's surprise.

Namelia, Tereni, Edric, and Elion surrendered one after another and were reused by the enemy. Affected by their surrender, the military spirit of the soldiers in the west began to shake. The news that Prince Oberon was killed by Edric made Jello Dane awake all night. In terms of bloodline, Edric Dane is the orthodox bloodline of the Dane family, and Jello is still a branch.

Edric surrendered to the army of savages, and where he was going for Jello. Many western aristocratic generals had another level of speculation about Jello. Distrust spread in the army invisibly.

After all, Jello Dyne’s confidants are a few. Ten thousand soldiers belong to Oberon’s army. Edric’s surrender cast a huge shadow on Jello. In order to obtain the allegiance of the soldiers and soldiers, Jero Dyne decided to carry out a raid against the savages that besieged the city of Bremen. He needed a big victory to stabilize the army and obtain the absolute obedience of the soldiers.

*

No matter how Arianne moves or how Jelo Dane's scouts are scouting the enemy around the clock, the savages in the west and east move slowly, step by step. As long as the places controlled by them are divided into fields by the nobles, the proletarian civilians and servants and slaves have obtained their own land and means of subsistence.

The people's minds are leaning towards the ‘savage army that was horribly promoted by the Dorn nobles’.

Prince Daolang began to receive the nobles who came to see him. One day later, the nobles crowded in the sandboat castle disappeared. The nobles and wealthy merchants in Yangji City and Shadow City evacuated. The port of Yangji City was full of ships, sailors and cargo ships. They all became popular, and Prince Daolang gave the nobles a suggestion to leave Dorn and go to the other side of the narrow sea.

The nobles and wealthy merchants are mostly connected with the free trade city-states on the other side, and some have their industries in the free trade city-states of the narrow sea. Therefore, the nobles finally extinct the last hope of waiting for the Dorn army to fight back in Yangji City. Roll up your belongings and board the ship to go to sea.

There are four routes from Yangji City in Dorn to the free trade city-state of the Narrow Sea. The safest route is to start from Yangji City, pass through the sea outside the Fortress of Wind, and go north to Braavos; this route The route is the longest, the distance is the farthest, but the safest, with almost no pirates. As long as you enter the waters of Braavos, it is absolutely safe waters, and it is impossible for any pirates to appear.

The second route is from Yangji City to the open sea of ​​Heishui Bay of Junlin, and then to Pantos City. This route overlaps with the first route. The danger does not come from pirates, but from Fengshibao and Junlin. Patrol warship. Since Davos Silvers, Earl of Onion, took office as Minister of the Sea, he has vigorously developed naval power and dispatched warships to patrol the waters near Heishuihe Bay and Longshi Island to combat pirates and ensure the safety of merchant ships.

As long as the nobles who set out from Yangji City do not pass through the waters of Fengshibao and Longshidao during the day, or disguise as passing merchant ships, they don't have to worry about being captured by the battleships of Fengshibao and the navy of Longshidao.

The third route, and the closest route, is to start from Yangji City, pass through the stone steps, and reach the three free trade city states on the opposite shore: Rees, Mill, and Taloxi.

This route is the most recent. Compared with the other two routes, it can save twice the time to reach the opposite shore, but it is also the most dangerous.

The Stone Step Islands and Taloxi are gathering places for pirates. The Stone Steps Islands are the snail dwelling place of the major pirate teams, and Taloxi is the entrenched and enjoyable place of the major pirate leaders. Once the pirates know that the Dorn nobles and wealthy merchants have passed through the waters of the Stone Steps Islands with gold and silver treasures, they are all dead. Live more and live less.

Unless nobles and wealthy merchants are inextricably linked to the pirate leaders of the Stone Steps Islands, some pirates are descendants of the Dorn nobles, and some pirates are descendants of rebels on the Westeros continent, and they are connected with the nobles. There are some connections between them. If there is a special relationship between pirates, after being hijacked, they can pass through the relationship and spend a certain amount of money.

The fourth route is Yangji City bypassing the open seas of the Stone Steps Islands, taking the southern route, rounding a semicircle, completely crossing the waters of the Stone Steps Islands, landing in Valantis in the distance, and landing in the Lis city-state near.

Yangji City and Shadow City gathered the most wealthy noble merchants in Dorn. After Prince Daolang told them that Yangji City could not be held and persuaded them to leave quickly, the harbor of Yangji City was full of ships that day, and all the nobles tried their best. , Through various family relationships and powers, mobilize ships and fight for their lives.

For a time, all merchant ships that passed by became sweet pastries, and the price of sailing trips soared all the way. Hiring ships, mercenaries, and sailors became a competition of financial resources. But because there were too many people to leave and the ship was not enough, Prince Daolang contributed all his warships.

There were originally 30 battleships in Yangji City, all of which were given to Princess Arianne. The remaining more than ten ships were spare battleships, and some small ships for maintenance and supplies were all taken out by Prince Daolang to make allegiance The nobles of the Martell family for generations fled first.

Prince Daolang sent out a raven again to send a ship hire message to several major free trade city-states with very good relations across the narrow sea. Some merchant ships sailing in the sea received the news and came to Yangji City to pick up people.

As if with a heart, Will’s army of more than 30,000 is advancing slowly every day, from a daily advance of ten miles to eight miles a day, and finally to five miles a day, no matter how slow, the team’s progress never stops. . The entire east of Dorn, because of the loss of the protection and support of the Oberon Army, the nobles chose to take the initiative to flee.

Every time the Freedmen Army advances to a village or town, if the local officials or nobles do not escape, they will take the initiative to take the initiative to surrender. Therefore, Tyron Ashes is temporarily appointed as the local governor, and the houses and properties of the rich noble merchants in the past All the furniture that could not be taken away was given to local civilians.

If there are nobles who are unwilling to flee to surrender, they will leave a certain amount of real estate, food and land to the nobles, and the rest will be distributed to the civilians under the former nobles, and the nobles will be deprived of their titles and all be demoted to civilians.

*

There are four routes from Yangji City to the free trade city-state on the other side of the narrow sea. Each route has "escape ships" of nobles, wealthy businessmen, handicraftsmen, and civilians willing to follow the nobles. Prince Daolang has a profound family background. As soon as the information about the ship was released, even the port of Fengshibao and the old town had some large merchant ships to support it.

Prince Daolang, like Arianne, sent a number of scout ships to scout the disappearance of Mans Reid at sea, and no warships were found in the waters of Yangji City. This confirmed Prince Daolang’s judgment: Will intentionally let The army slowly advanced and at the same time gave up the sea route to ensure that Dorn's nobles and the Martell family can safely evacuate. This is also good for Will. He will not encounter the desperately resisting Dorn nobles.

The Dorn nobles are deeply rooted, and some civilians are very loyal to the nobles. If Will really forces the Dorn nobles to desperate, it will be a dead fish. Although the fish died in the end, Will's net would also be broken badly.

In this way, Will's net opened up and gave the nobles a way to survive. The fish had a way to survive and the net would not break.

*

The safest route is Yangji City, bypassing the waters of the Stone Step Islands to stop at Valantis. On this route, a wave of pirates suddenly appeared. There were not many pirates and not many ships. There were only ten battleships. , Is a small-scale pirate, all the Dorn nobles who take this route will be robbed halfway. Fortunately, the pirates only need money, whether they are civilians or nobles. Use force to survive.

Those who dared to take the route of the Stone Steps were all nobles and formations of mercenaries and family guards. They all encountered a very powerful pirate. This pirate did not appear for a long time, but swept many of the Stone Steps. The pirate team, and entered into a series of weird agreements with them, they only intercepted one month's time, one month later, the jurisdiction of this water area was returned to them, and the property they looted will be divided into two parts. Get a share for yourself, and the pirate teams from the rest of the Stone Steps Islands will share a share.

Everyone in this pirate wore a face mask, fighting bravely, advanced warships, and flexible tactics. They called themselves masked. All the Dorn nobles who set off from Yangji City for their lives, who walked this way, all crashed into their hands. Many big nobles who had old relationships with the pirate leader, no matter whose name they moved out, were a big slap in the face. Answer him.

This team not only robbed the property, but also robbed the ship. When the robbed personnel reached a certain number, they were stuffed into the bottom compartment of a big ship and transported to Telosi for completion.

The other two safest routes, when carefully exiting the waters of Longshi Island, will also encounter the capture of a huge battleship. This battleship has an unmatched magic beast to assist in the waters: the unicorn.

The ship that is stared at by the unicorn will either stop obediently or be pierced by the unicorn, and the entire ship will be buried in the sea.

After Prince Daolang watched the last group of nobles leave Yangji City, he was greatly relieved. Princess Arianne’s fleet and legion advancing by land and water also came to Yangji City and Shadow City. The team entered the city and found that the two cities had lost their former vitality. The nobles and wealthy merchants not only took away all their wealth, but also took away. The prosperity of the city and the numerous employment opportunities.

A considerable number of skilled civilians left here and followed their lord to the other side.

It’s just that Prince Daolang and Princess Arianne don’t know for the time being. The four routes have already been completely blocked by Mans Reid’s navy. All the wealth of Sunji City has flowed into Will’s pockets, Sunji City and Shadow City. The resistance of the wealthy aristocratic merchants was also invisible by Will.
