Adrián: Well we have good news, I passed the letter to Robert and he also laughed, the royal fleet finished with the Iron Men, in Isla Bella, the Golden Storm was destroyed by Fury, 5 ships and Victarion 's flagship escaped.
Everyone celebrated the victory achieved, in two days the ships will arrive
The next day Ser Barristan and I were in a Practice Duel
Ser Barristan lashed out with his blunt sword, attacking every vital point he could, for my part I defended myself with my shield, and counterattacked with quick cuts, to vital unprotected areas, several soldiers watched our fight.
Ser Barristan had rich combat experience and used it to his advantage in every attack, for my part I used shield thrust techniques and faster attacks to overwhelm him, I wasn't using real force otherwise this match could end very badly.
The two of us continued training for a good half hour, the Lords had joined in to watch us train, and everyone could see the skills I had been training, Jammie next to Robert and his father. Said
Jammie: The boy knows how to fight, he is aiming at every area that would produce death in battle, he is fast and has power in each hit, his use of the shield is also interesting not only does he use it to block, he uses it to attack, which gives him He will cause his enemy a headache, he has the advantage of being young which gives him greater resistance in combat.
Ser Dulan, how long does the child train the art of the sword and shield? Also, hide the sword behind the shield, which causes not know the attack range it has.
Dulan: the Boy, he trains since he was 4 years old, we started to teach him multiple Weapons, Daggers, Spear, Bow, Sword and Shield, even unarmed hand fighting, he always has to be prepared on the Battlefield if he loses his sword he can use other weapons.
Everyone nodded, it was a wise choice many people died on the battlefield from losing their sword or spear.
Robert: Because he doesn't use a Warhammer or Dulan mace, I saw you fight with one and you are quite frankly the best user I know.
Dulan: Hahaha Robert, we are not all like you or me, the child can use it, but he is not fit for it, war hammers need users with monstrous strength so that, upon impact, the power of the blow penetrates the armor and reaches the internal organs, the Child is more suitable for sword and shield or double swords.
For example, the swords that Ned's standard-bearer Howland has, are called Dueling swords, Ashen learned from Lady Elentari to use them, but he still can't even touch them, This surprised everyone Ashen had the reputation of the Blood Dancer, he is a battlefield decapitated every opponent with his swords, but he couldn't beat his master
Robert: Damn, I met that woman when I went to the island, she seemed like an extremely delicate woman, until I saw her training the soldiers, she left all of them unconscious in a fight, how many were about 40 in a row and that Zajim Boy, what a damn monster. Metal armor with his damn hands. How the hell do your men train?
Dulan: standard training, we train strength, resistance, we educate them to be strategists and make decisions for that Adrián formed the Military Academy and the Maritime Academy, combat formations, including the military code that the boy imposed when he was 6 years old.
They were all surprised the training must be hell for his soldiers, even the rules for them.
Tywin I speak: The boy knows what he is doing, his army is the Elite, in a conflict they can fight in order better than the levies, your ideas are quite interesting.
A soldier ran to where Tywin was, they had captured Aeron Greyjoy, seriously those guys are lucky at sea. Tywin locked him in the dungeons with animals.
The Ships arrived the next day, Robert and Ned boarded the house ship Redwyne, Stannis and Tywin boarded Fury to Great Wyke, Barristan and I took my ship Gea.
It took us 2 days to reach the island, Ser Barristan and I were observing with a spyglass
Adrián: Hmm, it seems that Drumm prefers a defense by land then, by sea, we will have to attack and they have the advantage.
Barrista: Apparently, he's hoping to catch us mid-landing, and many will likely die mid-landing.
Adrián: I have a little idea, Mauren, what types of arrows we have on the ship.
Dulan: Boy, we currently have 2,000 Bodkins point arrows, 2,000 broad points, 3,000 barbed heads, 2,000 forked heads, and about 3,000 incendiaries. Bring a barrel closer with each arrow, Adrian picks up a bodkin and a spiked head
Adrián: Well prepare the Bodkins and the wide tip, send the messages initial rain of flat tip, followed by a rain of Bodkins.
Barristan: Interesting idea, but why first the flat tip ones.
Adrián: Because they won't be able to remove them, and the Ironborn wears cooked leather armor and sometimes chain mail, these two are perfect for penetrating metal armor, the wide tip cuts and makes it difficult to extract the Bodkin through their shields.
Barristan: Good idea, but we'll have to get pretty close to hit the target.
Adrián smiled and said: Only if we had normal bows, and we don't have them, but we have these wonders, Adrián passed a bow to Barristan
Barristan was surprised to see the bow and what it was made of: Haha boy you are a box of surprises, how many of these bows do you have
It was a magnificent bow made of Auroheart Wood, it was a powerful Longbow.
Adrián: Truth, I crack a smile, About 2000 Longbows, and about 500 Arbalests, although those are made of Ironwood.
Barristan thought he had misheard: Lord Adrian said 2,000 in all or he misheard. And what are the arbalests?
Adrián: Not being Barristan, I listen well to 2000 auroheart bows, and the arbalests, he asked Mauren to bring one, It was similar to a Crossbow, but with a pulley mechanism to load it and it was made of metal.
I must say that it is an extremely unfair weapon in battle.
Barristan : and that should be Lord Adrián.
Adrián: This little guy can easily penetrate armor because the force of the shot is much greater than bows and crossbows, with little training it can be used, the only disadvantage is the load, it takes too much force to load it.
We began to prepare for the landing, Ser Barristan came out with his golden armor, I had my armor on, I see the Iron Men in front of me on the coast, waiting for our landing, I shout first Sign.
A soldier raises a red flag and all the ships follow him, the Archers loaded the first volley of arrows, Keep shouting, the ship was approaching the coast, only meters to go. It seemed like an eternity.
The ship was approaching, we docked before running aground, Now green flag, all ships begin a rain of arrows on the enemy soldiers, I had made my troops shoot in batches so the rain would be constant arrows, with the covering fire.
We began the landing quickly we went down and took formations. I headed the spearhead.
Soldiers In Hidden formation, My first line of men covered themselves with their shields and put their swords behind him, I led them, and the second line prepared with their spears to finish off the men who collided in the formation, the 3 lines composed of the arbalesters, eliminating any soldier who approached, we were a solid impenetrable defense.
The ironborn began to charge directly at us, Steadfast I shouted prepared for the shock, The first man crashed into my shield, I sent him flying with a sweep of it and stabbed the next one with my sword, the spearmen, they pierced all the heads that they could, Marching shouted.
The soldiers responded To Battle, We started pushing the Wretches with our shields, slashing, stabbing, Going through and shooting Darts at them, only pausing briefly for the arbalesters to reload the Arbalest .
Mauren yelled, Enemy Archers, then the spearmen raised their shield to make a protective cover, the arbalesters joined with their light shields, we the first line of swordsmen still held the shields in formation, the turtle formation, the enemies fired, their arrows enchanted iron and Ironwood shields bounced.
We moved slowly, we were a refined killing machine, we were approaching the flags of the Drumm, red background, and a skeleton hand.
Lord Drumm stopped the attack and shouted Challenge his commander to single combat, The winner will be victorious, and the Loser will die or be taken, prisoner.
Standing in the Front Line, I said I Lord Adrian Trant, I accept Lord Dunstan 's terms Drumm, I swear before the Old Gods the Conditions.
Dunstan Drumm: I swear before the Drowned God as a witness to the Duel. Ironborn is forbidden to meddle in the Duel.
Adrián: Soldiers are forbidden to intervene, may the ancient Gods have mercy on you, I will not do it, I walk forward and take a position with the shield and sword.
Dunstan Drumm: What is dead can never die, but rises again, harder and stronger. I draw Red Rain and a reinforced wooden club.
Adrian waited to receive the first hit with the blocking sword, the enemy sword's small sparks flew, followed by a shield strike to knock Dunstan off-balance, he used his club to counterattack my head, and I dodged moving.
The Man was unprotected, I used a kick to the chest to send him flying, The man recovered quickly and charged again this time using his two-handed sword, I block with my shield, I feel the weight of his blow on my arm, start a savage attack with his sword, each blow makes mere nicks in my shield, the next blow I let him press me and move my shield slightly, his sword hits the ground, I take advantage and give him a cut on the shoulder.
He groans slightly, the damage wasn't much, now he charges toward me intending to stab me. I meet him with a clash of swords, drop my shield and punch him in the pit of the stomach with all my might. The man loses his breath.
My knuckles are bloody, my blow had slightly cut his stomach nothing fatal, the man was getting up he had a thread of saliva in his mouth.
I decided to put an end to this in the following movements, I take a stance again with my shield, he starts to charge, the man is injured, but he will fight until the end, he tries a side cut, and I dodge him with my shield and I cut his back this time. leg.
Adrián: Give up you can't win.
Dunstan: Fuck you, he just answered me.
Adrián: You chose it, I allowed you to surrender.
I drop my shield and wield my sword and dagger, I start a dance of steel, constantly hitting the fucking Idiot, with my dagger I cut every opening he left me, with my sword I kept his occupied so I couldn't block. I didn't stab him to kill him I only cut it to hurt and disable it
Before long the man had hundreds of cuts all over his body, he was covered in blood, he had collapsed on his knees, he was staring at me, he was short of breath
Adrián: Last time Surrender and you will live. I said lightly, the Man's blows had taken a bit of a toll on me, my left arm ached slightly
Dunstan: Kill me once and for all, what are you waiting for, you don't have the balls to kill me, he yelled in his hoarsest possible voice.
Adrián: Oh no no no, I will not kill you, I want to make of you a damn example of what happens when you resort to your disgusting old ways, believe me, there are things worse than death and I will not give you the pleasure of having one, Raise my sword and cut quickly his two hands.
The Man screamed, a single cut from my sword and he had lost his dominant hand.
For all the robberies you committed, I said, I take your dominant hand, then I cut off his entire left hand, for all the crimes of rape I take your left hand, the blood spurted, I grab him and throw him to my camp, Cure him we'll take him to Robert
ironborn, I shout Adrián Trant win the duel, I pick up red rain and shout, Surrender or suffer the same fate.
The enemy soldiers were scared shitless, they had never seen the Drum lose like that, they began to drop their weapons. The war horns were heard, and Ser Barristan and Dulan finished off their enemies.
Sound the horn, I said, and round up the prisoners, take the salt wives and slaves off the damned island.
There were a total of 5,000 Sal's wives on this Island, we had plenty of room on the supply ships.
Dunstan's bleeding and closed his arm wound.
Barristan . Boy, you were mad at the man.
Adrián: I gave him 2 chances to give up, he was stubborn, and well it was better to end it this way, if you'll excuse me I have to calm down 5 thousand scared women and tell them they are free.
Ser Barristan nodded and asked some soldiers how the battle went, Robert's soldiers described it as a game to me, how I had dropped my shield and wielded dagger and sword, how I had used my fist to hit even the shield.
As he received the charges from his cursed sword, Barristan just sighed and said Legendary Duel, a boy beat an experienced man.
Dulan came over and said Boy don't lie how's your arm.
In pain I replied, but I'm using magic to heal it.
This is how the attack on Old Wyk ended, now Pyke was left.
