"Drink!
The red-haired Jon staggered back and let out a heartbreaking scream.
The voice was extremely loud and full of intense pain and despair, as if it was going to shatter the whole world.
Jon Clinton's world was chopped into pieces.
Defeat or disability, which one made him more grief-stricken and unbearable.
The expression on Jon's face was so distorted that it looked inhuman, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, mixing with the blood on his face.
The severe pain was like sharp steel needles, piercing his central nervous system so hard that Jon almost lost complete consciousness.
The red griffon with broken wings subconsciously covered the broken arm with his right hand, trying to stop the hot blood from gushing out. However, the hot blood continued to gush out from between his fingers and flowed to the soles of his feet.
There was a lot of bleeding.
The guards of the nest castle had already put down their opponents and rushed over desperately.
"Protect Earl!"
"Long live the gryphon!
This group of guards in red armor shouted at the top of their lungs, trying to rescue their lord, using all their strength to block the red-sharp black Earl, completely ignoring the enemy soldiers behind them.
Facing a pair of firm and loyal eyes without any fear or flinching, Titus stopped in his tracks, waved his swords lightly, struck each other with a loud noise, and opened his stance with a smile.
The corrugated steel sword came into his hands, just like the God of Death gripping his sickle, and began to harvest the fruits of life in front of him.
The Griffin's Roost guards were very angry. They rushed towards the black Earl desperately, holding all kinds of swords, axes and spears in their hands, trying to avenge their master's broken hand.
Titus With a slight dodge, he can avoid the excessive force attacks of these guards. With a casual backhand sword, he can cut through the vital points of the attacking guards.
Even if it is not a critical point, at most one more sword can be used, and no one can stop the tiled steel sword light.
Blood spurted out from a guard's neck wound, just like his lord's broken arm. The guard's body lost support and fell slowly, but his eyes were still full of anger and unwillingness.
But no matter how angry or unwilling they are, they can't change two facts. One is that they are not strong enough, and they will be easily killed if they are not strong enough.
2. If a person is killed, he will die.
Compared to Jon Clinton Earl who can fight the black Earl for a while, their skills and equipment are too weak.
But facing the god of death on the battlefield, the guards of Griffin's Roost did not flinch at all.
They rushed towards the black Earl one after another, using their own flesh and blood and lives to buy time for their red-haired family master to retreat.
Titus's swordsmanship is superb and efficient. He tries not to waste excess energy and quickly kills the enemy soldiers with the support of the guards who also rush over.
Every swing of the sword can take away the life of an opponent.
In the square, a large amount of human blood stained the ground underfoot, and the whole scene was too horrific to watch.
From the moment Jon was defeated, the morale of the Crownlands army completely collapsed, and everyone was running away, trying to leave this bloody town called "Stoney Sept".
Even those soldiers who did not see "Hand of the King"'s defeat could only run away with the large army.
Griffin's Roost guards tried their best to cover Jon Clinton's retreat, but the price was that they all died.
The severe pain in the broken arm was enough to make Jon faint, but after being hastily bandaged, he always insisted on giving orders on the stretcher.
He knew that he couldn't fall down at this moment. He had to live to have a chance to lead more people to leave Stoney Sept.
He was the one who brought them here, and it was his failure that accelerated the current rout. He had the responsibility to lead more people out alive.
As the screams from this side of the square gradually subsided.
Titus, whose black armor was covered in dark spots, finally stopped chasing and stood there to rest, leaning on Heartsbane.
"The infantry cleared the battlefield on the spot and resettled the prisoners. The cavalry continued to pursue them, catching up to at least one league before pulling back. Remember, we are greedy for success. The reason why we are fighting this street battle is to preserve our strength and not to suffer too much loss."
"Yes! Sir!"
Too many people were killed today, even Earl had to catch his breath.
His cavalry regiment chased him out of the town, but only Earl's two guards, Platoon, stayed to guard him.
There were many dead bodies piled up in the square. Titus thought that the total number of corpses in the entire Stoney Sept area would probably be even higher.
Watching the blood under your feet gathered into "rivulets" and flowed freely along the cracks in the ground. Once the fighting spirit and adrenaline passed, the smell in the air was really disgusting.
"Sir, did you deliberately let that Jon Clinton escape?"
In such a lifeless scene, after hearing the gasping female voice next to him, Titus's eyes slowly returned to normal from indifference.
"Oh? You have noticed this. You really understand me better and better, Wenda."
The guard captain's body can no longer be seen in white.
Even though her golden hair was tied into a high ponytail in advance, there were still a lot of broken hair falling on the side of her face, messily attached to her ears.
Wenda's right hand is still trembling, which is the sequelae of the battlefield caused by drawing the bow many times in succession.
At the end of the battle with Fang, the female captain was still quite studious in summing up her experience and exploring the truth. "Your Excellency, do you want him to be disabled and then abandoned by Mad King - so that all the royalists can see clearly the consequences of being your enemy, as well as Mad King's stupidity and his ruthlessness towards his subordinates?"
Seeing that this woman was thinking too much, Titus took off her helmet with a gasp, and smiled at Lady White Eagle, who looked a little embarrassed at the moment. "That's a good idea, let's all remember it, if Aerys II didn't treat Hand of the King who was fighting hard to survive, so we let King's Landing's secret agents spread the word about Mad King's stupidity and cruelty."
Hearing this, Wenda glanced with his right eye at the severed hand of "Hand of the King" that fell on the ground, today's black Earl battlefield gains, and asked, "What if he can't survive and dies before Mad King's order is conveyed?"
Titus signaled a guard member to come forward, put away his trophy "Gryphon's Claw", and said with a smile, "The red hair must be very tough. You have to have confidence in Jon Clinton Earl - if you really can't survive, it doesn't matter, just take it as proof - he is just such a man."
Jon Clinton, who suddenly ascended to a high position, originally planned to help Rhaegar to rectify the chaos in the kingdom, and to honor the victory of defeating the rebels and killing Robert, and make a name for himself in history.
Unexpectedly, he ran into obstacles one after another in front of Starpike Earl. He experienced a fierce battle, suffered a lot of ridicule, and even lost one of his left hands.
Although Jon Clinton used his astonishing willpower to gather the defeated troops together and try his best to direct the retreat in the serious dilemma of being disabled and the army was defeated. It can be called heroic, almost achieving the ultimate goal of a battlefield armbreaker.
But the king he serves, Aerys II, doesn't seem to think so.
Due to repeated failures in suppressing the rebels, Mad King determined that the red-haired Jon, and even the entire Clinton family, were responsible for this ugly failure.
Soon he issued an order to deprive Jon Clinton of all official positions, titles, and even fiefs, and expelled him like his predecessor Hand of the King, and prohibited this person from returning to Westeros.
Then, Aerys appointed Master of Coin Cole ton Chased Earl to succeed Hand of the King as his new "hand".
Under the current situation, no one is actually willing to sit in this seat. The family is Crownlands Cole z Earl but they don't dare to refuse.
He is thinking:
Should we arrange for the family members to go to Pentos or Braavos to buy a house, so as to prepare in advance for their apartment career in the second half of their lives----
This tragic defeat that happened next door to Crownlands made Mad King Aerys truly realize that the "Robert rebellion" was not the whim of an unscrupulous lord.
It's not that easy - it can be crushed easily.
The influence of Robert·Baila Theon and Titus·Peake, who is in charge of command this time, continues to rise.
The so-called "rebel army" has become the biggest threat to the legitimate rule of House Targaryen after Daemon·Blackfyre!
