Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 153 Fleet Attack
this night.

The fires of Storm's End were brightly lit, and no one slept.

The servants checked the grain, salt, and fresh water in the barn, calculating how long they would last.

The barracks circled inside the city wall were empty and the beds were cold. The soldiers were nervously making the final preparations and went to the arsenal to receive weapons, armor and equipment for defending the city.

The letter crow cage in the scholar's tower is mostly empty, but the bachelor is still tying the letter paper to the foot of the remaining letter crow and letting it fly.

The hall was empty.

Ser Cortnay Penrose, the acting castellan, climbed the walls himself, arranged for the defense, and urged the soldiers to move.

All because of:
The fleet is coming!

Sir Cortnay Penrose issued the alarm, and the fleet in Port King's Landing was mobilized, intending to wreak havoc on every coast, Storm's End bearing the brunt!
This is information that is hard not to doubt.

The fleet in Port King's Landing didn't concentrate on defending the Blackwater River, and even traveled so far to harass the coast?

But if you think about it carefully, nothing is impossible, after all, it is war.Besides, it was Ser Cortnay Penrose's order, and no one thought that the serious and fair knight would lie.

So, in order to defend the castle, but also for his own life.

The soldiers worked hard.

Crossbow arrows, stones, asphalt, and kerosene were all transported in batches near the battlements.

Squads of guards were scattered around every doorway and passage in the castle, ensuring that the gates were closed, the drawbridges were closed, the chains and winches were strong, and the dry moat was covered with nails.

There is a cave under the cliff on the seaside side of the castle, and this waterway has not been forgotten by the guards.

The waterway went all the way to the bottom of Storm's End, but the iron gate plunged from the rock wall at the top of the waterway into the cold and dark bottom, blocking half of the waterway.

Before the iron gate, there are densely packed killing holes on the top of the cave. Once someone dares to be smart enough to break into the cave, the soldiers above the killing hole will teach them a lesson, the last lesson, with crossbow bolts, stones and hot oil.

Many elderly veterans couldn't help feeling sorry for this. The last time Storm's End was so seriously deployed was the siege of Storm's End during the Usurper War.

At that time, on the land outside the city was Lord Mace Tyrell's army of the Reach, and on the sea was the Redwyne fleet of the Arbor.Lord Stannis, who is besieged in the city, has not as many troops as he has now.

The results of it?
what!
Storm's End has lasted for more than a year, and it is still safe and sound!

If King Robert had not overthrown the Mad King, and Duke Mace led the army to surrender to Duke Ed who came to rescue him, Storm's End would have continued to stand firm for an unknown number of years!

Of course, the premise is that there is no shortage of food and drink.

At this time, the expected good news came from the barn: the food and drinks in the city were enough to support the current 3000 people for two years.

The wise soldiers began to feel that they might be surrounded by the fleet for a long time.

Everyone knows the name of Storm's End as indestructible. His Majesty Renly naturally feels it more clearly and has more confidence in this fortress.

King's Landing has no fleet, what a chance.

Will His Majesty choose to go north and take down the unguarded King's Landing City, or lure the fleet to land and annihilate this group of enemies?
After all, Storm's End could last at least two more years.

Even in the face of a huge fleet.

The busy soldiers looked up from time to time, the sea was in darkness, there was no light, only the sound of the waves kept stirring the calm.

The fleet is coming.

When?

Cortanay Penrose wasn't entirely sure either.

Maybe it was daytime, maybe it was late at night.In short, after the necessary voyages are excluded, the fleet will appear at any time.

That's what Rain House City's second letter said.

The letter states:

Rain House City is already safe.

King's Landing's fleet succeeded in stalking, but the methods it adopted were far from befitting the perfect timing of such a surprise attack.

The fleet first launched lights and noises in an attempt to intimidate the guards of the castle.

It did have some effect at first, but the earl's loyalty to His Majesty Renly overwhelmed his fear, he resolutely rejected the enemy's solicitation, and ordered the soldiers to prepare to defend the city.

The first letter was written at this time.

After that, the fleet that failed to persuade them to surrender first tried to throw stones and shoot arrows at sea, but they were weaker than a baby's fist.

Rain House City was unscathed.

The enemy forces on the fleet then embarked on a landing operation, attacking from three gates on land.

Fortunately, [-] soldiers who were preparing to go north for reinforcements had gathered in the city, and the ordnance was also sufficient, and they repelled the enemy's four attacks successively.

Afterwards, the fleet abandoned Rain House City and returned to the sea.

The last scene that Rainhouse City saw was that the fleet was divided into three groups, one going south and the other going west, and the road with the brightest flag sailed into the channel to Storm's End. The false king Joffrey was suspected to be on the last fleet.

The simple summary is:

Rain House City is already safe, and the fleet is attacking everywhere, including Storm's End.

Regarding the news in this letter, Cortanay Penrose really didn't know whether to be relieved or worried.

On the bright side, the so-called strange light and sound effects are not that big, and the strength of King's Landing's fleet has not increased much, and it was not even possible to capture Rain House City.

And the false king stupidly dispersed his forces, making the fleet that was not good at siege even weaker.

It seems that Joffrey did not bring one or two wise and outspoken courtiers with him this time.No, maybe they did, but they didn't have the ability to make the king obedient.

Thinking of Prince Joffrey in his own impression, Cortnay Penrose didn't doubt the extent of his willful actions at all.Except for Cersei and Duke Tywin, who can persuade Joffrey?

of course.

Even so, it does not mean that the King's Landing Fleet can remain calm and stable wherever it goes, free from harm or loss.

It doesn't even mean that Storm's End can continue to rest peacefully without warning.

No matter how few soldiers in the fleet, it is more than a thousand guards in the city.If you slack off and underestimate the enemy, Storm's End, which has never fallen, will be breached by this enemy.

Cortanay Penrose firmly believed that he would not let go even after death.

With this in mind, he carefully and rigorously arranged the defensive measures of Storm's End.Think of the incoming enemy as an army of [-] troops, and the enemy general as Lord Tywin Lannister.

It must be able to resist such a strong enemy.

In this case, no matter how many accidents occur, Storm's End Castle will not be breached.

At this time.

The defense of the city wall and various parts of the city has been perfected. Most of the soldiers returned to the barracks to rest. The patrolling soldiers were full of energy and the watchtowers were brightly lit.

Seeing all this, Cortanay Penrose was full of confidence, and his sleepiness disappeared.

So he stood silently on the top of the city, staring at the darkness outside the city.I can't see anything, but I seem to see swords, lights and swords, blood and fire, and approaching warships.

at last.

When the sky is twilight.

Slender hazy shadows inadvertently rippled on the gray sea surface, gradually increasing and becoming wider and wider.

Shadows of boats.

The sentry on the watchtower rang the bronze bell and blew the horn, waking up the sleeping people.

The sound of bells and trumpets formed a war song, and the air was suddenly fierce and heavy, occasionally mixed with a few shouts from companions.Everyone understood immediately.

The fleet is coming.
