A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones - Chapter 321: Counterattack
The east wall, which was originally well-defended, became more chaotic because of the appearance of these monsters. The monsters that could not be killed no matter how hard they were beaten made the defenders lose morale, and the normal order of war was shaken, just like a few ferocious beetles suddenly appeared in two ant colonies that were supposed to be biting each other.
Screams and roars flew, and the enemies under the castle who should not have been able to attack in a short time have now climbed up the wall one after another, and the Ironmen were attracted too much attention by those few monsters, and even distracted and exhausted. It seems that this defense is already in danger.
This situation is beyond everyone’s expectations. Perhaps it is because the enemy has insight into the upcoming final battle and wants to seize the initiative to disrupt the rhythm, so they sent out this killer. Maybe it was just a coincidence, and they had planned to send out werewolves.
But no matter what, if they cannot solve those monsters that cannot be killed no matter how hard they are beaten, then failure will be the final outcome of the Ironmen.
Renly therefore ran towards the nearest werewolf without hesitation, with a strange red light flashing on the surface of the long sword in his hand.
The Chaos Mark disappeared, and he was not sure whether he still had the characteristics that would not be hostile to chaotic creatures, so he was ready for battle.
Fortunately, when Renly appeared in front of the werewolf, before he launched an attack, the white-haired werewolf that was violently biting a defender suddenly stopped, and then suddenly let go of the seriously injured person in his mouth, whimpered, and his eyes showed intimacy and surprise, as if he had seen a relative who had been away for a long time.
Renly breathed a sigh of relief.
There were several Ironborn soldiers nearby who had been desperate, but they suddenly became full of fighting spirit after seeing Renly appear. Then they saw that under the touch of the Son of the Drowned God, the terrifying monster that was supposed to be the enemy actually changed its previous camp and bared its teeth and directed its hostility towards the siege party that was supposed to be a friendly army!
This situation was beyond everyone’s expectation. An enemy soldier who was climbing the ladder to the top of the city wall wanted to take advantage of the chaos created by the monster to gain a firm foothold, but he was hit back and was slapped back outside the city without even struggling. With a shrill scream and a burst of exclamations from the surroundings, he smashed into the dark mass of enemies below with a bang, causing chaos.
The monster on the city wall ignored him, but turned around and began to attack the original friendly attacking party, causing waves of fear or disbelief.
Renly did not continue to observe on this part of the city wall. After finding that he easily “persuaded” the monster to surrender with the moment of psychic communication, he naturally needed to continue his efforts and rush to the next one.
So the originally precarious situation began to stabilize rapidly. The werewolves, who were ferocious and bloodthirsty to the Ironborn, suddenly became cute and reliable after being constantly touched by the young figure running back and forth. The violent roars and bloody attacks seemed very exciting at this moment.
“Your people have rebelled!”
In a command camp under the city wall, the leader in charge of attacking this place had a gloomy face. He held a monocular made by Myr in his hand, which could clearly see everything happening on the city wall.
“This is impossible!” A gloomy voice beside him answered, “My people have always been loyal and much more reliable than you.”
The leader did not answer, but sneered and threw the telescope to the other party, so the white-haired man in the black cloak looked at it intently, and then jumped into a rage.
“Abe? Brie, Melanie… Damn, what are these guys doing!”
…
No matter how some people outside the city react, it is an indisputable fact that those werewolves who should have belonged to their own camp suddenly became the enemy, and this rebellion was very abrupt and inexplicable. Even if there were new werewolves climbing the city wall, they would defect soon!
This situation cannot continue!
So some werewolves who were originally mixed in the army withdrew from the battle after a certain wolf howl command, and those monsters who were “rebelled” also had a commotion, but under Renly’s appeasement, they all calmed down.
The failure to recall the rebellious tribesmen made the werewolf leader outside the city more and more angry, and finally thought that he was shamelessly betrayed, not that there was any hidden secret.
When asked about the withdrawn tribesmen, they had never been on the city wall and knew nothing at all. Even though he was angry, he did not dare to go on the battlefield himself before understanding the specific situation, and he did not even dare to send his own tribesmen.
It was just because this situation really confused him.
The werewolves withdrew from the battle, and the ordinary soldiers continued to attack for a while, but the defenders who solved the monster crisis did not let them take advantage of the opportunity, so that today’s siege ended in failure again, and the Targaryen side began to retreat on a large scale.
…
When the enemy finished attacking the city, Renly had already led a total of ten werewolf monsters to patrol the other three walls except the east wall. He found that there were no such monsters in other places except the east. So he knew that the number of werewolves must not be large, and the enemy’s plan was to concentrate all its efforts to attack one side.
“They should not continue to send rashly… What a pity.”
Thinking so, Renly found that although the surrounding ironmen were enthusiastic about his appearance, they were obviously very afraid of the monsters following him. When they passed by, they subconsciously avoided them and did not dare to approach.
So he ordered the ironmen leader guarding the city to defend himself, took these monsters down the city wall, and arranged them in the remote Godwood Forest of the castle.
Then he began to do what he had not had the chance to do when he was busy before – figure out why they appeared.
“Can you understand me?”
He moved a chair and sat under a pale weirwood tree. Looking at the ten werewolves squatting on the ground like dogs in front of him, Renly asked.
Originally, he didn’t expect a response, he was just testing the intelligence of these things, but as soon as he finished speaking, a series of vague and loud replies came one after another.
“able!”
“Brie understands!”
“Abe can do it too!”
“And Ang—”
…
The chaotic whimpering and howling shocked Renly. Although he had understood from the spiritual perspective that these monsters were not irrational, due to the tension of the war, he did not feel it carefully, so Renly did not expect that they could even say a few words. Normal lingua franca.
So the original idea of using the channeling moment to communicate disappeared, and he began to communicate using normal language. Of course, secretly, his channeling moment still existed in a certain monster’s body to distinguish the sincerity.
“Do you know who I am?”
“Chief, leader!”
“Father?”
“Ouch——”
…
The undisciplined situation seemed interesting, and they were barely able to communicate normally, so Renly kept asking questions.
“Who was your original leader?”
…
“Why are you helping those people?”
…
“Why do you think I’m your new leader?”
…
After asking and answering questions, Renly had a general understanding of these monsters.
After ten years of development, the number of werewolves in the Riverlands now exceeds hundreds!
The reproduction method of these simple-minded guys relies on infecting humans with the toxins they carry, but they can also rely on mating.
At the same time, their feelings for Renly were also very strange. The werewolves could not answer it with simple thinking, but through the moment of channeling, he understood that this seemed to be closeness on the soul level, so when they were on the city wall, they could easily was hooked.
And the reason why they join the enemy camp is also very simple – to survive.
Obviously, this kind of weird existence will not be tolerated by the human world. Therefore, before the war, the werewolves often clashed with the lords of the Riverlands, causing countless casualties and hatred.
Later, after the war broke out, they naturally joined the Targaryen camp and helped Targaryen attack the original enemies, until they were “conquered” by Renly.
“Father, help us?”
One of the most prestigious werewolves asked this question, and the wolf’s face that should have been ferocious looked like there was a hint of expectation at this time.
