Chapter 43 Rock Seed’s Attack

Ed stood on the hillside, looking down from a high position, watching the rock warriors from Skagos Island coming from all directions.

Most of these people are wearing furry, fishy-smelling animal skins, and there are very few rock type warriors with plate armor and chain mail. This is as Ed predicted before, the rock type may have reached some kind of alliance with the ironborn.

, even if there is an ironborn blacksmith shop on the island, it will not be able to provide a large amount of armor to the rock species in a short period of time.

Almost all the pirates who appeared on the coast of the North and the waters around Skagos Island had armors. It seems that the King of Rock, Iron Bitch and Helen Pike provided all their armors to the pirate raiders on the island.

The rock types left behind were given very little armor, and many of the rock type warriors didn't even have leather armor.

However, the weapons in the hands of the rock species are not bad. Almost everyone has a battle ax and a long sword. It seems that the number of weapons made by the blacksmith on Skagos Island is much higher than the number of armors.

In the camp at the foot of the hillside, the Mountain Clan's "Big Barrel" Woll, Donal Flint and Morgan Riddle and others were giving orders loudly, and the warriors of the clan tribe and the rock warriors were fighting in close combat. "

"Iron Legs" Wharton rode a gray war horse and led the cavalry of the Dreadfort into the enemy camp.

Ed's bodyguard Dawson rushed down the hillside to engage the enemy. He brandished a double-edged battle ax and jumped into the midst of the Rockseed warriors like a whirlwind, chopping down each enemy like a melon or a vegetable.

Rockseed's crossbowmen began to fire arrows, and arrows rained down from the air. Some flaming arrows fell into Earl Severn's camp, and Earl Severn's tent burst into flames.

Some arrows and stones fell on the hillside, and a soldier from Bear Island was shot through the arm by a sharp arrow. He screamed repeatedly.

Jory Kelso, captain of the Winterfell guards, unsheathed his sword and said, "Lord Eddard, it's not safe here. Hurry up and hide in your tent!"

Ed looked at the direwolf flag on the hillside, "The rock seed enemy is trying to drive us back to the sea. If our defense line is captured, is it safe to stay in the tent? I stay here and fight side by side with my soldiers.

."

Jory Kelso used his sword to deflect a flying arrow, "Lord Ed, but this place is too dangerous. Otherwise, you can go to sea and take shelter on Greybeard Casselon's ship."

The shouts of killing were loud all around. The cavalry of the stream, the spearmen of Cahor City, the knights of White Harbor, and the mountain clansmen shouted "Long live Winterfell" and "Long live Stark", fighting against the Rockseed enemies. The battlefield

There were shouts of murder and screams, and the air smelled of sea salt, blood and sweat.

Winterfell soldiers Haihua and Weir were guarding Eddard. A stone the size of a fist flew from nowhere and hit Weir's head. Weir's head exploded like a watermelon, making a sickening sound.

The sound of falling into a pool of blood.

Ed was shocked, and Haihua was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. At this time, another oval stone came towards Ed. Syrio Forel, the water dancer of Braavos, had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he pulled Ed away.

The stone rubbed Ed's face, spun and hit the ground, creating a deep pit.

The sun gradually set in the west. In the dusk, the beating of drums came from behind Yan Zhong. This was a signal to retreat. The Yan Zhong soldiers retreated slowly, as if the tide was ebbing, and escaped into the woods and mountains. On the battlefield

Bodies and wounded soldiers were left everywhere.

Haihua held Weir's body and sobbed. Weir was a soldier of Winterfell. He grew up in Winterfell and received training from Rodrik Kelso. He and Ed's children have always been close. See

Ed was very sad when he was stoned to death like this.

"These savages actually use stones as weapons."

When the rocks flew, Syrio Forel pushed Eddard away, otherwise Eddard might have been smashed to pieces by the stones.

Syrio Forel said: "Lord Eddard, when I was in Braavos, I heard some rumors about Skagos Island. I heard that the rock species had cruel stoning, and some of them had powerful stone throwers.

The power of the hand is not inferior to that of the Toros slingers from the East. The difference is that the Toros slingers use iron lead balls and rock-type stones."

Slinger, it seems that the northern army has another powerful enemy. The rock species may have run out of iron tools, but they cannot run out of stones.

Roose Bolton walked to Eddard and said, "Lord Eddard, the enemy has been defeated. We should send cavalry to pursue them."

Ed frowned: "Retreat? I think it's more like Yanzhong retreating on his own initiative. No pursuit is allowed. Yanzhong is far more cunning than we thought, and the enemy may be luring them."

The heir to the Dreadfort, Domeric Bolton, was covered in blood. Roose Bolton was startled, "Domeric, are you injured?"

Domeric smiled and said: "Father, you don't have to worry, I am not injured, this is the blood of the enemy."

Roose Bolton's eyes flashed with anger, "It is not a smart person to show off your courage on the battlefield. Lord Eddard asked you to manage the ravens, but you went to kill the enemy. What if you were killed by the rock species?

Where did it fall?"

Domeric said: "My spear skills and riding skills allow me to deal with these rock species."

Ed said: "Domeric, you have personally fought against the rock warriors. What kind of enemy do you think they are?"

"It's much harder to deal with than I thought." Domeric glanced at the corpses everywhere, "I looked through ancient books before, and the bachelors in the city seemed more willing to associate the rock species on Skagos Island with the savages outside the Great Wall.

, but we all know that the savages outside the Wall call themselves free people, they are free and undisciplined and have very poor discipline."

"It is precisely because of this that even if the previous kings outside the Great Wall gathered a barbarian army north of the Great Wall, their threat to the Seven Kingdoms was very limited. The discipline of the rock species in front of me is much better than that of the barbarians. After all,

Why? The rock species and the savages believe in the old gods. They are backward in civilization and full of barbarism. Why is there such a big difference between the rock species and the savages?"

Ed thought for a while, "I think this may have something to do with geography. The savages north of the Great Wall live in a cold and barren place outside the Great Wall, but no one knows how big it is. In such a vast and cold land with sparsely populated areas,

In the wilderness, the savages seem to go wherever they want. If the savage tribe is defeated, the worst they can do is find another place to live."

"But the rock species on Skagos Island live on this island. The major clans and tribes have gone through thousands of years of wars and vendettas. If the rock species here are defeated, they will lose their living space. It may be that

Because of this environment, the rock species worship strength and the strong, and are very disciplined when fighting."

Eddard, Roose Bolton, and the Great Jon walked on the battlefield littered with corpses. Eddard saw that the dead on the ground were all tall rock types wearing animal skins, and not a single Ironborn pirate.

"Where have all the Ironborn gone?"

The Great Jon said disdainfully: "I guess the ironmen followed Helen Pike and the Iron Bitch and escaped by sea! The ironmen have longships, and when they see the northern army gathering, they will just flee."
