Hahaha! Look! It's spices! A whole warehouse of spices! We've made a fortune!

What is a spice! Look at this! The finest silk from the Eastern Continent! As long as an arm is that long, you can get a set of fine steel armor.

Shut up! Stupid! Don't be too busy robbing things. It's wise to find a young and beautiful woman to enjoy it. You must know the women of the Iron Islands, but they don't have the same taste as the women of Old Town.

Agreed! Matt's right! If we go any slower, the good women will all be robbed of the bastards on the other boats. I don't want to play second hand stuff they've ravaged.

...

Shouting, yelling, crying, begging, and the excited roar mixed in, the entire Old Town is already a hellish situation.

The iron species who rushed into the city killed almost men when they saw them, and rushed to the ground to vent their animal desires when they saw women. In just one day, they destroyed the largest and most prosperous port city in Westeros. .

Although many surviving city defenders and guards hired by merchants still rely on favorable terrain for final resistance, they are not many in number, and they are divided, and they can only watch their money and goods being plundered. Go, his wife and daughter were humiliated to death by the enemy.

The darkest and ugliest side of human nature has been completely released at this moment.

However, compared to the frenzied robbery and rape of most ironmen led by the captain, the fleet commander Victarion was much calmer, and he was bringing his cronies to attack the last stronghold of the Hightower family, the towering tower.

Because whether it was the command to seduce the pocket watch that was rooted in his subconscious, or for safety reasons, he had to completely destroy all resistance forces in the city to ensure that everyone could retreat safely after the robbery was over.

You must know that the River Bend is not a sparsely populated northern region. As long as a town or a fort is captured, the surrounding area will lose its defense capability and allow the enemy to ravage it.

What's really scary about the Reach is that rich land can feed a plentiful population, and a plentiful population means soldiers.

Not to mention the fact that it only takes a few days for the High Court reinforcements to reach the old town by water, the small nobles gathered in the surrounding area of ​​the old town are enough to make the ironborn go without food, plus hiding in the The Hightower family in the towering tower will cooperate with each other at that time, and maybe one-third to half of the sailors will not be able to return to the ship alive.

Therefore, in Victarion's eyes, the towering tower is a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

Hit it anyway.

Looking at the tallest man-made structure in the known world, he couldn't help but took a deep breath and roared loudly, Kerol! The kerosene I want isn't ready yet?

Captain, the sailors have now collected twenty cans of kerosene, more than one hundred cans of animal fat and vegetable oil. As long as you give an order, we can immediately turn the bottom two layers into a sea of ​​fire. The Vice responded excitedly.

Obviously, like all the sailors of the Iron Islands, he was still immersed in the ecstasy of breaking the old town, completely unaware that it would not be long before a terrible disaster would befall him.

Then what are you waiting for! Ignite it! I want to turn this damn tower into the cemetery of the Hightower family! Victarion gave the attack order without hesitation.

The crew waiting at the entrance said nothing, lifted up the clay pot filled with various oils, and threw it directly inside the tower.

Damn! It's oil! They want to set fire to us! A knight of the Hightower family, who was drenched in oil, quickly backed away and yelled furiously.

But before he had retreated to the second floor, an arrow with red flames burst through the air and fell to the ground with a slam, igniting the oil that was flowing everywhere.

moment!

More than 30 elite soldiers, including knights, were engulfed by the scorching flames!

The sturdy armor on their bodies has now become the most terrifying noose. In less than half a minute, all the linings have been burnt out, and the red steel sticks to the skin, making a chirp sound, followed by The smell of burnt barbecue spreads along the sea breeze.

No matter how hard he struggled and rolled, he couldn't put out the flames on his body.

In the end, under the extreme pain, they gradually curled up into a ball, from a living person to a charred corpse that turned black all over. Even after being touched by something, these corpses would twitch or shake. violent reaction.

Admiring the terrifying scene in front of him, Victarion raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to a young prisoner beside him, Did you see that? This is the end of resistance! I'll let you go back now and tell Leighton Hay. Tal, if he knows, surrender immediately, otherwise I will burn layer by layer. At that time, Hightower will be history forever.

Hum! Dreaming! The Hightower family will never surrender at the feet of a robber like you! What's more, do you know how many floors there are in the tower? Do you know how many great secrets are hidden in it? No, foolish you don't know anything at all. I don't know. The young man raised his chest and laughed at his enemy with impunity.

You don't need to ask to know that he has put his life and death aside for a long time, and he has no hope of surviving from the moment he was captured.

Really? Let's try it out! Can collecting oil from the entire Old Town burn the towering tower! Oh, I almost forgot, I'm afraid you won't be able to see that scene. Victarion dropped his fist in anger. , cut off the captive's head directly.

puff!

Scarlet blood spurted out, and the young man's head rolled off his neck, down the slope all the way into the sea.

blah, blah, blah...

As blood fell from the axe blade, the gloomy Victarion immediately turned around and roared at his subordinates: Don't stand for me! Attack! Attack! Attack! Kill me every allegiance. Soldiers of the Hightower family! I want to see how long their loyalty will last in the face of death!

Kill!

Rush rush!

Under the threat of the fleet commander's terrifying eyes, the ironborn raised their weapons and rushed into the towering tower to start a bloody battle with the Hightower family guarding the entrance to the third floor.

However, everyone knows very well that in this extremely narrow environment, if you want to capture a military fortress guarded by layers, the probability of success is almost zero. Therefore, although the fight is lively on the surface, the actual casualties are very limited. There is no way to move forward for half a day.

Just as the Iron Seeds ravaged the old town, Zhang Cheng, who had been flying for several hours, had quietly returned to Brightwater City, and had his number one vassal, Blanco, begin to assemble his army.

In just one morning, an army with a total of more than 8,000 people was formed, of which 5,000 were stationed in Bright Water City, and the other 3,000 were from the surrounding minor nobles.

When they heard the news that the old town had been captured, they immediately linked up with the intention of protecting themselves. Now that they heard that someone was willing to take the lead in sending troops to conquer, they immediately came over and prepared to take the opportunity to gain some political capital...
