Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

Chapter 222: Straight Down, Riverrun

The fighting on the battlefield continued until the sun went down.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties and each retreated back to their camps.

The hard day is finally over!

When night falls, the air is filled with the vague smell of blood, which cannot be blown away by the wind.

In just one day, I don’t know how many people died!

Then he was hastily pushed into a mass grave or hastily buried...

Along the banks of the Trident River, it has always been a bloody road where heroes compete for hegemony, just like in the "War of the Usurpers" when King Robert killed Prince Rhaegar with a hammer...

How many wars have occurred in this ancient land?

I'm afraid no one knows.

Now countless living people have buried their blood and souls here again, and there is just one more story.

…………

In a tent made of thick canvas.

Many lords and nobles participated in the battle, and many were injured on the battlefield.

But people like the Great Jon of House Amber are really rare.

The Greatjon was carried onto the oak table, his body covered with arrows.

Domeric thought he was dead and was thinking about how to reward him in Joffrey's name?

But Great Jon opened his eyes, let out a sullen breath and cursed: "So many people don't cum, but they just stare at me and cum!"

Maester Colmont helped Greatjon sit up, as if he had just noticed the arrows on his body and pulled them out one by one.

The Greatjon complained as the bow and arrows put holes in his armor and leather.

Several arrows shot into his body, making him scream in pain like a baby.

Great Jon was in severe pain from being tortured. He gritted his teeth to keep from screaming, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

He spat out the blood in his mouth. The blood in his mouth was fishy and sweet. It was probably not his own blood, but the blood that had been splashed on his mouth by the murderer just now.

The arrow wounds and bruises on Greatjon's body were not serious.

The deeper wound was a sword wound on the chest. The armor on his body protected most of it, but the wound was still deep enough to show the bone.

If not treated properly, the wound may become infected.

There are no medicines in this era. A life saved from a narrow escape on the battlefield will still be finished...

"Take care of his wounds!"

Domeric warned Maester Cormon who was accompanying the army...

……

When Domeric was preparing to hold a combat meeting overnight to discuss tomorrow's battle.

"Sir, something bad is going to happen!" A knight rushed into the tent furiously.

"what's up?"

"Did Tywin launch the night attack?"

……

"No, no! Retreat!

The Lannister army retreated along the River Road! "

As soon as these words came out, the whole tent fell into silence.

The lords and nobles looked at each other.

Nani?

Domeric couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

The battle was only halfway through, and the winner had not yet been decided. Tywin just withdrew like this?

There is no danger to defend Riverrun, and the defenders in the city must be prepared to attack from both sides. Tywin voluntarily giving up the strategic location of "The Bend of the Knees" is equivalent to giving up the entire Riverlands and giving up the victory of this war!

All the previous efforts made by the Lannister were in vain.

"Should we send troops to pursue him?"

Earl Yohn Royce suggested on the side.

"Do not."

Domeric thought for a moment and shook his head, "Tywin dared to retreat in a big way, which means that we have prepared a perfect plan. Maybe the 'Kingslayer' is hiding in some nook and corner waiting to ambush us!"

The war situation has developed towards Domeric's ideal situation. It is a foregone conclusion to expel the Lannister from the Riverlands and rescue Riverrun.

There is no need for him to pursue unknown risks in order to expand his victory...

-----------------

Five days later.

Riverrun.

many years ago.

Lady Catelyn was held by Lord Eddard's hand as she left Riverrun, took a boat across the River Tumblestone, and headed north to Winterfell.

Suddenly thinking about it, it seemed like it was a thousand years ago.

Now, Lady Caitlin has also crossed the Tengshi River and returned to her homeland.

But Duke Eddard is no longer here!

Next to her was another tall man wearing armor and a sword—Domeric Bolton.

As the oars rose and fell, Domeric sat in the bow, with Sansa and Lady Catelyn sitting beside him, one on each side.

As for the "troublemaker" Arya, I don't know where she went.

Jon Light was sitting on the second ship behind, along with Jorah, Wendel and others.

There are many nobles from the North, the Valley, and the Riverlands behind.

They went down the river in a boat...

The strong current of the Tengshi River carried them past the tall waterwheel tower.

The huge water wheel in the tower is turning and the sound of water is rushing.

All kinds of memories from her childhood brought a sad smile to Lady Catelyn's lips.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Domeric said empathetically.

"It's okay, I just remembered something from a long time ago."

…………

The soldiers and civilians in the city lined the city walls, shouting and praising the reinforcements that defeated the Lannister.

On every rampart, the flag of the Tully family is flying:

A leaping silver trout against a rippling red and blue background.

It's an inspiring sight!

But Lady Catelyn was not happy.

Looking at Sansa who was nestled in Domeric's arms with a happy look on her face.

Lady Catelyn felt an inexplicable feeling of envy.

Oh, Ned...

If you were still here, would I be able to nestle in your arms like this and accept the cheers of everyone in this castle where I grew up?

……

The huge arch of Watergate comes into view.

The hinges rolled, and the huge iron gate of Riverrun slowly rose.

They passed through arches and walls, from sunlight into shadow and back again.

There are boats of all sizes moored around, all securely tied to iron rings in the stone.

The acting city lord of Riverrun, Brynden "Blackfish" Tully, was leading the guards of Riverrun to greet them on the stone steps facing the water.

Several guards walked down the stone steps into knee-deep water and used long hooks to pull their boats over.

Domeric let Sansa lie on his back, and then picked up Lady Catelyn.

Although she has given birth to several children, Lady Caitlin's peach parts are still upright, soft and smooth.

Domeric couldn't help but squeeze it lightly while he wasn't paying attention.

Lady Catelyn seemed to think Domeric was unintentional and didn't pay much attention.

Domeric jumped from the bow of the boat to the stone steps on the shore with great agility, and lowered the mother and daughter down.

Lady Catelyn walked over and hugged her uncle.

"Dear uncle," she said hoarsely.

Brynden "Blackfish" Tully is the top military general in Westeros. When he was young, he became famous in the "Battle of the Nine Copper Kings".

But Brynden was at odds with his brother, Lord Hoster.

If it weren't for the Lannister siege of Riverrun and the risk of the Tully family being destroyed, "Blackfish" would probably still be staying in the valley as the "Knight of the Blood Gate"!

"Little Kate, you're here."

Ser Brynden's voice was hoarse, his face was weathered, and his hair was full of gray. His breastplate was full of scratches and dents left over from the war, and his cloak was stained with blood and smoke.

He is a man with a strong sense of responsibility, advocates justice and family unity, and is very friendly to the children of the Tully family, including his adopted son "Littlefinger" Petyr.

The uncle looked exhausted, haggard from a series of wars and stress, and there was a bandage on the injured area on his neck.
