The three brothers and sisters rode to the innermost city wall and looked at the other two levels of the outer castle below.
The first outermost city wall has been breached by a large black squid because it is close to the port.
The second city wall is being attacked by artillery, and it feels like it won't last long.
Margaery hurriedly went to Bingling and Teresa for help, while brothers Willas and Loras stayed to preside over the battlefield.
"What's going on? Why did Ironborn launch a surprise attack tonight?"
"Maybe they are testing to find out if Dragon is still Highgarden."
The two brothers organized their men inside the castle and rushed to the second city wall to support the defenders.
Lord Mace arrived late and was very relieved to learn that his two sons had gone to support him. It seemed that his preaching during the day was still useful. These two little bastards did not run away and abandon the city.
But in the distance, the huge black shadow that was still destroying the first city wall caught his attention, "What is that?"
The soldier answered tremblingly, "Sir, that is Ironborn's sea monster..."
At this moment, Margaery rode Bingling and flew over the two inner city walls, spraying out dazzling orange Dragonfire towards the big sea monster leaning on the third city wall.
The sea monster rolled over in pain and then sprayed out a large amount of black ink to fight against Dragonfire.
Not to mention, its ink worked wonders and actually extinguished Bingling's Dragonfire. Moreover, its ink seemed to be inexhaustible. Bingling stopped spitting fire, and the sea monster was still spraying ink.
Bingling jumped into the air, "Hurry up, Dragonfire has failed, we have to fight hand to hand next!"
She flew high into the sky and dived down suddenly, like a falling meteorite, crushing the sea monster under her feet.
When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, Bingling, who possesses sharp teeth and claws, definitely has the upper hand. She tore apart the tentacles and body of the sea monster, and her body was still covered with smelly black ink.
Willas, who was resisting the invasion of Ironborn on the second city wall, immediately felt something was wrong. "There is a problem! Ironborn's attack tonight does not seem to be a test. Dragon has already appeared and suppressed their sea monster. Under such a disadvantageous situation, instead of retreating, they attacked even more fiercely."
Loras raised his hand and fired an arrow, killing Ironborn who was participating in lifting the siege ram below. He turned around and asked, "Are they going to put all their money into it and fight to the death?"
Willas shook his head repeatedly, "It makes no sense. There is absolutely no reason for them to do this. As long as Dragon is still there, it is impossible for them to capture Highgarden. What's the difference between attacking the city blindly and committing suicide?"
Being smart, he immediately thought of the reason, "Unless they have a reason to do this... Oops, there is a mole in Highgarden! Someone must have secretly passed the news of our imminent evacuation to Shield Islands's Ironborn army."
His face was very ugly, "Ironborn's attack on the west gate is just a cover-up. Their real target is the warehouse on the east side of the castle. Loras, if I guessed correctly, the insider has already opened the City Gate on the east side, and another group of Ironborn has entered the castle."
Loras was also worried, "What should we do? Let's get back to defense quickly?"
Willas looked at the gray Dragon who was fighting the sea monster in the distance, "Loras, I want you to lead a small team to break through Ironborn's military formation, go to their rear and inform Margaery that we should evacuate immediately, and ask her to meet me in the warehouse as soon as possible."
They can't just walk away, Greenseer must meet Margaery and White Dragon.
Otherwise, once they leave, the Ironborn army will turn around and besiege White Dragon, and something bad may happen.
"Understood, Willas, you have to be careful too!"
Loras ran down the city wall, got on his horse, ordered a group of elite cavalry, and rode out at the lead.
Willas was also leaning on crutches. After getting off the city wall, he summoned all the cavalry and infantry, "Soldiers, Ironborn has already entered the castle from another City Gate. Now I need you to come back with me to defend!"
The soldiers believed Willas's words and immediately followed him back to the castle, abandoning the second city wall that had been guarding it for so long.
Lord Mace stood at the top of the innermost city wall. When he saw Willas leading the army back, he hurriedly went down and asked, "What's wrong? Has it been lost?"
Willas answered the question incorrectly, "Father, Ironborn has already invaded the castle, and there is a spy in Highgarden!"
"What? Who is it?" Lord Mace was shocked and lost his usual calmness.
Willas shook his head, "I don't know, it's probably some the Reach little nobleman who pretended to join us. In short, now I have to lead my troops to the warehouse for support. Will father go with me?"
Lord Mace said dissatisfied, "What are you doing in the warehouse? Are you still thinking about escaping? This is the last city wall, we must guard it! Everyone, stay and guard for me!"
"Yes!" The soldiers followed the Duke's order and stayed.
Willas looked at his unhelpful father with a cold face and rode away alone.
He first returned to the castle, found his few servants, and asked them to notify some servants and maids to go to the warehouse and wait.
This group of servants and maids all voluntarily followed the Tyrell brothers and sisters to evacuate Highgarden. Their main task was to drive more than 3,000 large carriages that transported money and grain.
Willas needs their help, otherwise he will have to ask his elite cavalry to abandon their horses and act as grooms.
East side of the castle, warehouse.
A group of Ironborn troops numbering about a thousand people quietly approached the warehouse. Just as Willas guessed, they came in from the east.
With the help of the mole, they passed the third lane City Gate on the east side very smoothly.
"There are 800 cavalry stationed on the other side of the warehouse. If we launch a sneak attack, we will be completely victorious!" A captain of the scout team came back to report after ascertaining the situation.
The leader who led the army was Euron·Greyjoy himself. Seeing that the scout captain was hesitant to speak, he reminded, "Tell me everything you saw and don't miss any details. I don't want to ruin this operation because of your mistakes."
The scout captain whispered, "There is a strange woman in the cavalry barracks. Her status seems to be very noble. Everyone who sees her is respectful."
"Margaery·Tyrell?" Euron asked.
The scout captain couldn't make up his mind, "It seems like it is, but it seems like it's not."
"Tsk, forget it, no matter who it is, you can't make me give up my action tonight! Send the order and launch a surprise attack immediately!" Euron couldn't wait any longer and rushed out first.
Next to the warehouse, the cavalry barracks.
The cavalry filled a dozen buckets and moved them to the open space in the middle of the camp.
"Hey, Priest Teresa, we brought you the water you need." The cavalry team responsible for this task bowed their heads respectfully in return.
Theresa, who was sitting on the wooden chair, stretched out and stood up leisurely. She smiled at the cavalry and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Now you can go notify the other cavalry and ask them to get up as soon as possible. The enemy is approaching here."
"There is an enemy attack? How does the priest know?" The cavalry team leader looked around, but there was no movement around. Where did the enemy attack come from?
Teresa clasped her hands together, and the water from the bucket flowed out, all gathered around her, forming three huge Shuizhu. "Yes, there are enemies, you must hurry up!"
