Chapter 258

"Use the Multiple projectile magical arrows." He said "We might as well test their effectiveness in this battle."

Ygritte nodded and took out 20 rune carved arrows from her bottomless pouch.

"Let them enter the range of 80 meter. Fire with the men and not before." He told her and she frowned but complied to his orders.

With her range, she was already capable of hitting a target from half a mile away but he didn't want any Lannister guard running away before the battle even begin.

Once the Lannister guards came into range, he raised a hand and gave the order "Release!"

Twenty crossbow bolts were released at once, taking out a few Lannister men along with their horses which served as further obstacles to the riders behind some, a few of whom fell to the ground as well before the other learned and simply trotted over them.

If the bolts were effective then the arrows released by Ygritte were a beast in their own right.

Each arrow reach mid flight and then turned into a dozen heavy metal senbons before it picked up speed and then it rained death upon the Lannisters.

The guards were able to release two more volleys and Ygritte was able to release five more before the Lannister guards finally came close enough for the trap.

"Now!" He shouted and the his guards pressed on the magical devices, causing all the Palisades to sprung out of the ground, causing the Lannisters to either jump over them or fall to their deaths.

"Fire at Will!!!" he said and his men picked up speed, releasing bolts after bolts at the downed Lannister men.

The others coming from behind them tried veer away from the main road but quickly realised their mistakes when they fell into deep trenches one after another, the legs of their horses broke from the fall and the riders were either thrown off, breaking many bones from the fall or were either crushed under the horse weight.

Even now only half of the Lannister riders had fallen to the ground. More came from behind and continued. Trying to take walk around the Palisades and the trenches which were now visible to them thanks to the sacrifice of the other guards.

His men changes bolt magazines and continued to fire at the Lannisters, taking a few lives every single moment.

Ygritte was doing the same but with much more success and at a faster rate.

Half of the remaining Lannister men managed to pass through the traps before them but before they could reach them, a large trench formed between the two parties and a good many of them fell down before they stopped and realized this trap for what it was.

Their grave.

With a wave from his wand, the Wildfire cashes hidden behind them burst into life, cutting of their retreat. The remaining Lannister men looked indecisive and terrorized, not knowing how the whole battle ended before it could even begin.

"Baka. Varko." He said and both of them nodded and started throwing mud balls at the Lannisters with great strength.

The mud balls struck the enemies and burst into Wildfire, consuming the within seconds.

This continued for one more minute before the smell of burnt flesh filled the air and the screams of the dying was all that remained in the battle field.

With another wave from his wand, the wildfire shimmered down and disappeared.

"Leave no one alive." He ordered and his Guards took out their magical weapons and moved forward, killing any Lannister guard who had unfortunate enough to suffer severe injuries but stayed alive till now.

He could see three Lannister guards hobbling away from the battlefield.

Before he could say anything, Ygritte released the arrows and got three head shots.

From there on, it was waiting time as his men killed all the wounded men and then started looting then armor, weapons, gold or anything of use from their bodies. No sense in wasting perfectly good material.

Then the naked bodies of the unfortunate Lannister men were put together in a huge pile.

He threw a mud ball at the base of the pile which burst into wildfire and started to consume the pile.

"Take the Pallisades and collect the Coltrops." He said as he himself started to fill the trenches, using transfiguration to hide any sign of blood and gore from the area, making it look like nothing ever happened in here except for the ashes from the great bonfire.

Once they had collected everything, he nodded "Let's get out of here."
