Game of Thrones: I Created the Weave

Chapter 145: Ship Cannons Roar



The Royal Fleet's banners began to shift.

Casper Wylde calmly patrolled the Solid Stone walls of the castle.

Tonight's battle would be the fiercest and most brutal.

He knew he had to remain calm and display ample confidence and determination to inspire his soldiers to fight tenaciously and defend the castle.

Victory was almost impossible, but they could try their best to hold out longer and wait for a turning point.

Casper Wylde was confident in the castle's defenses.

Thanks to the previous muster, there were now over a thousand troops in the city, including two hundred elite warriors such as Landed Knights, Sworn Knights, and Sellsword Knights. Their food stores were enough for everyone for several years.

With such strength, defending Rain House City was more than sufficient. Even if there were another thousand men, they couldn't all stand on the walls at the same time.

Conversely, the number of enemies who could launch an attack simultaneously was also limited.

After all.

Rain House City was not built specifically to be besieged and attacked.

The side of the city wall facing the sea had turbulent waves and steep cliffs outside. Even if the fleet got as close as possible, they couldn't land, and Trebuchets a thousand paces away posed no threat.

As for the other three sides of the castle on land, the Roads were all winding, the rocky terrain uneven, and the forests dense.

For small units, it was fine, but a large army could hardly form a formation in such a place. They could only advance towards the castle scattered, wave after wave, like a gentle tide.

Casper Wylde firmly believed that warriors who grew up by the sea would not fear the tide.

As hundreds and thousands of enemies surged forward, the defenders of Rain House City would rely on the sturdy fortress to withstand the tide, using Swords, Bow and Arrow, Hot Oil, and Rolling Stones to repel it.

Wave after wave of tides, the fortress would still stand tall, until the tide lost its strength and completely receded.

Of course, this tide was too angry and arrogant, its power too vast. It would likely take a long time and cost much blood to make it subside.

Casper Wylde watched quietly.

The fleet on the sea was slowly moving towards the castle, adjusting its position.

What were they doing?

What was the point of just moving around on the sea without heading towards the shore to land troops?

Trebuchets couldn't shoot that far.

No one could clear up his confusion at this moment, so he turned to look inside the city.

The activity here was much more normal.

Several Commanders he had personally appointed were giving orders on his behalf, urging archers to climb the Arrow Towers, instructing Messengers to relay battle plans, and supervising Soldiers and servants boiling Hot Oil, adjusting Ballistas, and moving Arrows and Stones.

Casper Wylde was very satisfied with the progress.

At this rate, by the time the enemy launched their attack, Rain House City would have already made all preparations, enough to unleash the fiercest counterattack force upon the enemy.

Hopefully, this would make King Joffrey calm down.

From the loud proclamation just now, Casper Wylde knew one thing: King Joffrey was within the fleet, waiting for House Wylde to "welcome His Majesty."

Unfortunately, between the two Kings, House Wylde could only stand behind King Renly.

"My lord!"

A Scout ran over, panting.

"Outside the city, outside the city there are large numbers of enemies, on the east, south, and west sides!"

Casper Wylde's hair immediately stood on end.

He quickly turned his head to look at the fleet in the sea, blinked hard, and the fleet was still in its original position.

The bright light still on the sea reminded him that the fleet had already launched a silent raid to get here, so it was naturally normal for some troops to have landed earlier.

Time was short!

Casper Wylde quickly asked, "Have they attacked the city yet?"

"Not yet, my lord."

The Scout continued to report, "We were ordered to go out of the city to scout for information. But we hadn't gone far when those people appeared from the woods. The Brothers who were close by were killed, and those of us behind could only hurry back to the city."

"However," the Scout said, half-relieved and half-puzzled, "they didn't try to seize the city gate, they didn't even get close."

Casper Wylde became even more confused.

Surrounded on three sides, what a great opportunity to attack, and they were just watching from the woods?

The Scout added, "The enemy general leading the troops on the south side calls himself 'The Hound', Commander of the Royal Guard, Sandor Clegane. Leading the troops on the east side is Brienne of Tarth. On the west side..."

The Scout paused, seemingly extremely surprised, "It's Ser G**."

"Ser G**?"

"Say that again!"

Casper Wylde could guarantee that this was absolutely the most shocked and angry moment of his night!

G** Wylde was his cousin!

This kid's parents died, and he was raised by the family since he was young. How did he become a traitor after only a little over a year in King's Landing?!

The scout finally added, "Ser G**... he was wearing white armor and robes."

Kingsguard!

G** actually became a Kingsguard!

Casper Wylde swore that nothing could surprise him more.

Whoosh~

Bang!

Screeching sounds, the collision of stones, and screams assailed them along with shattered rock and the smell of blood.

Casper Wylde instinctively raised his hand to shield himself, crouching to dodge. After recovering, he straightened up and looked towards the section of the wall where the chaos had erupted.

Hiss~

An iron ball the size of a human head was deeply embedded in the inner parapet of the city wall, carrying half a soldier's body with it.

A large gap had been plowed into the outer wall, and shattered stones were scattered in the chaotic passageway. Half a corpse and four or five screaming or still soldiers lay on the ground.

At this moment, more noise and screams erupted from all directions, and the city wall trembled and shook.

Casper Wylde stiffly turned towards the outside of the city.

Under the shroud of white light, plumes of white mist occasionally rose from the decks of the Royal Fleet's ships. Swift black shadows then surged towards the castle, destroying everything in their path.

Iron balls landed on the rocks outside the city, the city walls, the parapets, and inside the city.

"The Gods..."

Casper Wylde murmured in a daze. Why had King Joffrey been given such terrifying power? Why were the people of the world suffering such a catastrophe?

He looked at the largest warship in the fleet.

The white mist rising from this warship was also the most continuous, like long dragons.

Was King Joffrey on this ship?

Boom boom boom~

Hundreds of warships roared in unison, white mist filling the sky.

Casper Wylde stared forward in despair. Countless tiny black dots gradually grew larger, quickly disappearing from his sight.

Immediately after, the ground shook, sand and dust flew into the air, and the city walls groaned incessantly, on the verge of collapsing almost instantly.

Bang bang bang~

Steel shattered, air waves surged, and a wet, hot gale swept across the city walls.

Fragile flesh and blood were torn apart and tossed about, like a cluster of red roses in a storm. Their tormented petals and leaves fell and scattered, dissolving into the world.

Casper Wylde closed his eyes in sorrow and despair.

All the sounds he heard were so chaotic and disordered. Human screams stopped abruptly, the shattering of stones was covered by larger explosions, and the walls and ground were all vibrating.

After an unknown amount of time, the air calmed down slightly.

He opened his eyes. White mist filled the air, and he could only see within a dozen steps.

"Raise the white flag quickly!" he suddenly remembered.

"Raise the white flag quickly!"

He kept shouting, also searching for something in a daze.

Until a scorching hot air wave exploded beside him.
