Chapter 352

YGRITTE POV

"You sure you want to lead from the front?" she asked him one last time.

She couldn't see his eyes through the helmet but the way he was moving his head made her realize that he was rolling his eyes.

"I'll be alright." He said "You know very well just how good my armor is. Just wait here for me."

She nodded and hugged him one last time before he climbed on the horse and rode to the front of their army.

"I don't have much of a speech for you." He said, his voice somehow audible to the whole camp without being too loud. "You guys already know what to do. Follow the plan and we'll be victorious."

He then turned to the wargs and said "Release the direwolves."

As one, the whole pack of direwolves rushed forward. The full body magical chain mail they were wearing would protect them against any kind of physical attack.

"ON ME!!!" her lover let out a battle cry which has become much more fierce than before and went after the Direwolves. He was followed by Baka who led the 700 personal guards and quickly rushed after him.

Even if Domeric was not wearing a full body magical armor, she knew that Baka wouldn't let anything happen to him.

After the personal guards left, Varko led the 1000 cavalry of the 1st legion and at the same time, Mocqo also let out a war cry and led his 1200 horse archer from the right flank.

She could already hear the battle in the distance and the Bronn ordered his 2000 infantry to march forward.

Once he was gone, she looked at the 2500 archers and crossbowmen and took a deep breath.

It was the first time she would lead men into battle.

Well, not really lead them as they had their own commanders and command of chain but she was in charge of them for the duration of this battle. And they did respect her more than enough to allow her to lead them.

"AFTER THEM!!!" she shouted and marched after the infantry.

—————

The battle was not much of a battle.

When Domeric told her that this battle would be easy, he was not underestimating the opponent of being overconfident.

The Lannister army was made up of people who had never stepped into battlefield before.

They didn't have any discipline or any proper training.

So when Domeric cut through them at the start of the battle and entered the central command camp with his men, killing everyone on his way, the army quickly lost it's morale.

After that, it was a full on rout as the defeated troops ran to save their lives.

She was not every able to fire a full quiver of arrows before the battle ended.

All in all, the whole thing was very anticlimatic.

The only people who saw any real battle were the Giants and the 500 heavy infantry that Domeric had snuck in the middle of the camp and Casterly Rock.

Any defeated troop that tried to retreat into Casterly Rock had to pass through the giants and the heavy infantry.

They tried. And it didn't really work out very well for them.

The giants alone killed more than a 500 men before the people understood this was a no go and escaped toward the Lannister Port.

The good thing about this was that most of the guards and knights from Casterly Rock had come to train the men in this army.

And since they weren't able to return to Casterly Rock, the Castle was as badly defended as it'll ever be.

With that being the case, even with how large the rock on which Casterly Rock sat, she was sure that they'll be able to take the Castle.
