Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 271 Battle of Oldtown
After reassuring Lord Caswell, Imon and Helena went back to their rooms to rest.

Aemon had a better understanding of the situation.

The battle between Old Town and High Court should have been decided.

When he arrives at his destination, he saves a lot of effort.

……

Old town.

Mondstadt fled back to the Tower of Ascension and immediately ordered the Old Town sealed off, summoning his vassals to send troops to support him.

The Kotoin family of Three Towers, the Murendale family of Highland, and the Kuy family of Sunflower Hall all refused to be summoned.

The Bisbury family of Beehive City stated that they had already deployed troops and needed to concentrate their forces to protect their castle.

The Earl of Rockton went missing during the chaos of battle, and the city of Rockton refused to send troops.

Of the six vassal states, only the Burwell family of Blackcrown once again sent troops to aid them.

boom!
"I am their lord, how dare they disobey me!"

Mond smashed furniture to vent his fear.

Aegon has disappeared.

High Court summoned a large number of vassals, and an army of over ten thousand crossed the Mead River, heading straight for Old Town.

The battle was progressing too slowly.

He wrote to the other side of the strait, saying that the mercenaries he had hired had not yet arrived.

With a disparity in troop strength, the old town had no natural defenses.

I'm going to die!

Inside the room, Scholar of the Tower of Heaven, Lin Man, and Laris were still present.

"My lord, please calm down."

The scholar from the Tower of Heaven, despite his advanced age, offered sincere advice.

"How can I calm down when Donald's army is at the gates?"

Mondl could not remain calm.

That out-of-control posture made the old man Lin Man shrink back.

If only I had known then what I know now.

Mondl turned around abruptly, staring at Linman, and took a deep breath: "Lady Linman, is it really impossible for Hive City to send any more troops to support us?"

"My lord, my son's previous military campaign has already caused me to break my promise at the Imperial Conference."

Lin Man sighed sadly.

He was placed under house arrest in the old town, without even the chance to remain neutral.

"The Tyrells murdered my father. I have Prince Aegon's support. Does that count as a rebellion?"

Mond said angrily.

Lin Man kept her eyes down, remaining completely silent.

Seeing this, Mond clenched his fists tightly, teetering on the edge of madness.

"My lord, don't forget that Hive City is blocking the Highgarden army's only way through. It's understandable that they can't spare any troops."

Larry spoke up at the opportune moment.

These words did bring Mond back to his senses.

Rebelling against the feudal lord under the pretext of avenging his father is a controversial act.

To slaughter a vassal and a high-ranking official is truly a case of overindulgence.

"That……"

Mond was about to speak when he suggested continuing to keep Lin Man under house arrest, in exchange for a chance to survive if necessary.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and a hurried voice said, "My lord, the High Court army has attacked."

Mond was shocked and grabbed his clan sword, "Alert," before heading out.

"Whoo~"

Lin Man clutched her chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be afraid, sir, we are safe."

Larry, leaning on his scepter, smiled and offered his advice.

Lin Man patted her chest and muttered softly, "I hope so."

What bad luck.

When I returned to my hometown, the lord was dead, and the lord's lord was also dead.

The two families fought, and the two princes were lost.

He only hoped that the king would not blame him, considering that he had worked hard even if he had not made any great contributions.

As he spoke, he took hesitant steps, intending to go back to his room to hide.

The scholar from the Tower of Heaven nodded and followed him out.

Laris was the only one left in the lord's bedroom.

"Hey~"

Larry looked around the messy room and couldn't help but chuckle.

The fire at Highgarden was set secretly by his men.

The rutting mare that Prince Aegon rode was also arranged by him.

The purpose was to follow His Highness's instructions and create chaos in the River Bend.

He did a very successful job in this regard.

Although he added a little personal agenda during the process, inciting Prince Aegon to participate in the war, which led to the crippling of Duke Garland and the irreconcilable conflict between Oldtown and Highgarden.

"Prince Imon must be very satisfied with the current situation."

Larry bent down to pick up the fallen wine glass, poured himself a glass of wine, and elegantly swirled it for a sip.

It remains to be seen whether the enraged Highgarden army will annihilate the Hightoar family.

They surrendered voluntarily and still held leverage over Prince Aemon as the mastermind behind it all.

If the Hightoar family were to perish, perhaps they could try to secure the Old Town for him.

"The Strang family of the old town".

Larry smiled subtly.

...

The old town gate.

"attack--!"

At Earl Donald's command, thousands of infantrymen carried siege ladders and rushed toward the low walls of the old town.

Of the five major ports in Westeros, only Seagull Town has a ring of low white walls.

As the largest port, the old town only has a high wall to the north.

It was built by our ancestors to guard against the Gardener's family when the Hightower family held the title of "King of the Tower".

Today, House Tyrell has attacked.

boom! boom!
Giant Chestnut, clad in rune armor and carrying a massive shield, charged arrogantly at the forefront of the group.

Neither arrows fired from a distance nor stones, logs, or hot oil thrown from the city walls could cause the slightest damage.

It was as if a god had descended to earth.

"Lord Donald, it was agreed that once we breached Old Town, we would only eliminate the ringleader."

Behind the battlefield, Garwin was extremely anxious.

Earl Donald glanced at him and said calmly, "Rest assured, as fellow countrymen of the Reach, we will never harm the common people of Oldtown."

"Innocent members of the Hightoar family are not an option either!"

Garwin quickly emphasized this.

Earl Donald was speechless for a moment, then had no choice but to agree: "Okay."

This young man, despite his young age, has already mastered the ancestral teachings of the Hightar family.

When disaster strikes, one must bow down and submit.

When the Gardener family became kings, the Hightower family didn't even fight and gave up the title of "King of the Tower".

During the Wars of the Conquerors, House Hightower opened the city gates to welcome Aegon the Conqueror.

He even invited Aegon the Conqueror to make Oldtown his capital.

It's so good it can't be licked anymore.

Compared to Garwin, his cousin Mond Hightoir was a hothead.

They thought that by relying on the Queen's power, they could bar their teeth at the High Court.

ridiculous!

"Chestnuts, get them!" Garwin was immediately energized after receiving the assurance.

"Roar... Damn!"

Giant Chestnut was a simpleton, but he swung his meteor hammer with great force, smashing it towards the heavy city gate of the old town.

Bang!

The city gate frame trembled violently, and sand and soil crumbled away in fine rustling sounds.

The meteor hammer smashed open a gap in the tightly closed door, then bounced off the city gate bolt, and the hammer spike got stuck in the solid wood door panel.

"Ok?"

The giant chestnut tilted its head in confusion.

"Break it! This door will open if you break it!"

Garwin, like a traitor, points out the weaknesses of Oldtown.

The giant chestnut understood, pulled out its meteor hammer and threw it aside, then turned sideways, accelerated, and charged forward.

boom!
Suddenly, the city gate shook violently.

boom!
Twice, the screws on the door frame wobbled.

"Drink!!"

The giant chestnut, in one fell swoop, launched its third powerful charge.

Boom!

The five-meter-high city gate crashed open, sending two heavy door panels flying and dust billowing around the gate.

The giant chestnut lost its footing and fell to the ground, disappearing into the dust.

In an instant, the war fell silent.

Subsequently,

"Long live the giants!!"

"Come on—!"

The Gaoting army, as if injected with adrenaline, abandoned their useless siege ladders and swarmed toward the open city gates.

Many people stepped over the giant's body and rushed in.

"Hate!"

After a while, the giant chestnut grabbed the leg of the little man who was stepping on him and threw him off. He then got up and picked up his giant shield and meteor hammer.

The abandoned soldier screamed in terror, his body splattering onto the city wall.

"Charge... Ah!"

Giant Chestnut launched a charge, hoisting his massive shield and rushing into the old town.

The minor incident did not dampen the morale of the Highgarden army, who filed in alongside the giants.

"Great."

Garwin was excited about something, I don't know.

Earl Donald ignored him and led his rear guard into the city.

On top of the city.

"Fight back! Don't run!"

Mondl brandished his clansman sword, "Alert," and rebuked the terrified soldiers, attempting to organize a defense.

puff!
Two soldiers appeared from behind and put him in a sack.

"Woooooo~~"

Mond was tied up in a sack and struggled in terror.

The two soldiers exchanged a glance, then swung their spear shafts and smashed the spears repeatedly.

With a few bangs, the person was knocked unconscious.

Keep hitting!

They've already stormed the city.

I didn't see Sir Harwin Hightoar outside the city; he's a direct descendant of the Hightoars.

Vote, sir!
The surrounding soldiers were dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting they were on the battlefield, and let the two men pack their lord into bags.

After a while.

The soldiers dropped their weapons and scattered.

Old towns are beacons of civilization and guiding lights.

Civilized people don't fight wars.

……

The city was attacked in the morning, and Count Thaddeus took over the old town at noon.

All members of the Hightower family were arrested and imprisoned in the dungeon beneath the towering tower.

"What are you doing!?"

Amidst the raging fire in Garwin, Thaddeus and Earl Donald spat, "Didn't we agree that you wouldn't harm anyone from the Hightoar family?"

The two were extremely annoyed by the disturbance.

Thaddeus stopped, his face stern: "We promised not to harm the innocent Hightoars."

"Yes, don't those old people and children look innocent?"

Garwin's eyes widened as he asked, "Or do you think old people and children can kill your carefully trained heavy cavalry with canes and cotton candy?"

"..."

Thaddeus closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Whether they are innocent or not needs to be determined after thorough questioning."

"No!"

Garwin disagreed, spreading his arms to block the two: "The old man, the child, and their daughter and mother, you must release them now."

"If you keep blocking our way, don't blame us for being rude to you."

Earl Donald warned.

"Oh ho~"

Garwin laughed in exasperation, tilting his head and retorting, "Go ahead and be rude to me, I like being rough."

Their shamelessness is infuriating.

Earl Donald's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he cursed inwardly that the little bastard was nothing like Otto.

How can someone be so shameless?

"uh-huh?"

Garwin refused to budge and forced the two men to release the prisoners.

Thaddeus and Earl Donald were entangled with him, and their joy of victory quietly turned into intense hostility.

Garwin was not afraid.

His sister is the queen, and he does indeed have two nephews who can ride dragons.

the most important is!

He came under the orders of Prince Aemon, and he had powerful backers.

If you spank my butt, you're slapping Prince Aemon's face.

Who in the seven kingdoms doesn't know that His Highness the Prince is petty and narrow-minded?

Just when the two sides were deadlocked.

boom--

A colossal object, entirely bronze in color and resembling a giant mountain, tore through the thick clouds.

A pair of brown wings covered most of the old town, the howling wind tossed the banners, and the air seemed to be filled with a pungent smell of copper rust.

"Stop, Vomisol!"

A magnetic young voice suddenly rang out, slightly cold, echoing over the old town.

Upon hearing the sound, Garwin's face lit up with joy, and he shouted, "Don't leave! The Regent is here!"

“Hiss—”

With a roar, the bronze dragon flapped its brown wings, which could cover half the city, and its massive body swirled in the air as it swooped down toward the towering tower where they were.

An invisible pressure weighs heavily on everyone's heart.

Thaddeus and Earl Donald caught their breath, a sense of inexplicable panic washing over them.

The war lasted for a month, during which two instances of dragons joining the battle were reported.

The royal family has finally taken action.
