Chapter 194: The Attack on the Dreadfort
After clearing out the thousand people in Deepwood Motte, Kasar quickly gathered his troops and was not in a hurry to take the next step.
A large number of scouts were stationed on the edge of the Wolfswood. For Deepwood Motte, as long as they prevented the enemy from entering the Wolfswood, their mission would be accomplished.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
The battle of attack and defense in the city of Kaho was still fierce. Jack, who was far away in the Bay of Cailin, had already received the news that Roose Bolton had started the war.
But Jack did not rush back. Instead, he left two hundred men to guard the Moat Cailin and led five hundred cavalrymen straight to the Dreadfort.
Roose Bolton underestimated the fighting power of the dragon. Crash, which is nearly fifteen meters long, is already able to influence the situation of a large-scale war.
Asha took the remaining 300 people and those who had stayed in Moat Cailin back to the Stony Coast, always on guard against the threat from the Iron Islands.
Jack never let his guard down against Euron, the sixth child.
Jack rode his dragon to the Dreadfort early, but did not alert the enemy. Instead, he waited for Hecarim and his men to arrive.
There are at least a thousand defenders in the Dreadfort, and the castle is so large that it is impossible for one man and one dragon to control it.
Hecarim traveled at full speed and soon arrived near the Dreadfort.
Since most people were taken out to fight, they basically did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
However, five hundred cavalrymen were definitely not a small number, so they were bound to be discovered on the road.
At this time, the Dreadfort was on alert and had sent several scouts to the front line to seek support.
When Hecarim and his men arrived at the Dreadfort, the Dreadfort had already made all preparations.
Kimet Terry is the current person in charge of the Dreadfort. After Ramsay Bolton was captured, he became the agent of the Dreadfort, and the task of defending the city naturally fell on his shoulders.
After seeing that the other side consisted of 500 cavalrymen, Kimi breathed a sigh of relief.
There were only 500 cavalrymen, fortunately they did not have the ability to attack the city. There were still 1,000 defenders in the city, and food was sufficient.
However, what puzzled Kimi was that the five hundred cavalrymen stopped a hundred meters away from the main gate.
"What are they doing? Using war horses to break through the iron and wooden city gates?" Kimi felt it was ridiculous.
Because the opponent is obviously ready to charge at any time.
Just as Kimi was wondering, a dragon roar came from above his head.
Kimi looked up in surprise, and saw a huge red dragon flapping its wings and floating above his head.
Jack was on the dragon's back, looking down at Kimi and others on the city wall.
Then.
"Dragon Flame!"
Dragon flames like magma gushed out of Clark's mouth, and with a bang, the city wall began to collapse.
The dragon fire lasted only three seconds, and the walls of the Dreadfort were reduced to ruins.
Clark fell to the ground and casually swept some gravel aside.
Then another breath of dragon fire cleared the road, and then it took off again and began to clear the defenders on the city wall.
This time Clark did not use dragon fire, but switched to dragon flame. If all the city walls were blown down, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the subsequent defense of the city.
Seeing that the road was cleared, Hecarim immediately led his men into the city.
"Alas, I have never fought such an easy battle in my life." Hecarim sighed.
What could be more suitable for a cavalry charge than a giant dragon leading the way?
The Dreadfort had no room for resistance at all. Facing the giant dragon, the few dragon shooters left by Roose on the city wall were of no use at all.
Although the dragon-shooting crossbow is relatively advanced, if you want to hit a fast-moving dragon, you can only make up for it with numbers.
But unfortunately, most of the dragon-shooting crossbows were taken away by Luce, and the five remaining dragon-shooting crossbows were completely useless.
The Dreadfort was quickly controlled by Hecarim, and Jack led his men to the Dreadfort hall.
The bonfire in the fireplace in the hall made a crackling sound, and Walda Frey looked at Jack who walked in with horror.
Looking at the terrified Wada who was constantly comforting the baby in her arms, Jack had a creepy look in his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
After a long silence, Jack finally spoke.
"Put her under house arrest in a room with a fireplace."
After hearing what Jack said, Vada finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
When she heard that the Dreadfort had been breached, she prepared for the worst.
When Jack stared at her and her son just now, she knew that the moment of life and death had come.
But she felt lucky because at the beginning Jack's eyes clearly showed that he was ready to kill her, but in the end, for some reason, the murderous intent dissipated.
Jack then ordered a large group of civilians to begin repairing the city walls.
At that time, Clark Hugh was under Jack's control and tried his best to control the range of the dragon flame, so a simple repair was relatively quick.
At the same time, Jack gathered all the officials of the Dreadfort for easier management.
After finishing all these, it was already evening.
Jack came alone to the room where Vada was imprisoned.
But don't get me wrong, although Jack is a good wife, he doesn't like driving a tank.
The main reason he came was to ask Vada to write a letter to Luce to see if he could persuade Luce to surrender.
Jack didn't hold out hope, and his main purpose was not to persuade Luce to surrender, but to tell Luce that his wife and daughter were in his hands.
