Willas led more than 3,000 carriages and hurried to the warehouse.
He arrived a step too late. The battle between the Ironborn and Highgarden cavalry had ended, leaving only water stains on the ground and hundreds of Ironborn who had drowned inexplicably.
Willas Before he could think about it carefully, he asked the cavalry to open the door of the warehouse and ordered them to load the money and grain into the carriage as soon as possible.
"What's going on?" He took advantage of this gap to find the four generals in charge of the cavalry and asked.
The faces of the four cavalry generals were full of awe, and they gave a general overview.
"Sir, Priest Teresa is really a genius. She foresaw Ironborn's sneak attack, and then used Magic to severely teach these stinky pirates who don't know the heights of the world."
"Yes, those pirates were defeated and ran away before we even took action."
"Willas Master, have you not seen that Priest Teresa waved her hand and transformed into several super large water men..."
"What water man! That's the priest's Magic!"
Willas has met Teresa several times, and learned from Margaery that Priest Teresa is a key member of the Supreme God Faith Society, and one of the few top Wizards who masters large Magics.
So he doesn't doubt that Priest Teresa can defeat Ironborn's sneak attack with her own strength. But this mysterious priest doesn't seem to be in the military camp now?
"Where is she?"
A general replied, "The priest rode alone to pursue Ironborn..."
Willas secretly said something bad and asked, "Didn't you send someone to follow you?"
"Haha, sir, don't be ridiculous, Priest Teresa is so powerful, and if we send people there, it will only cause trouble..."
Before the general finished speaking, Willas hit him on the head with a cane, "Send someone to look for her immediately! If Priest Teresa is missing a hair, you are the only one I want to ask!"
Priest Teresa is an important figure in the Supreme God Faith society. If she died in Highgarden, how would Willas explain to His Majesty Luke?
"Yes!"
The four generals were all surprised that the always approachable Sir Willas would actually get so angry. Isn't Priest Teresa's identity simple? She is not only a cleric of the Supreme God Faith Society, but also the mistress of the King of the North?
The generals understood this and went to mobilize their troops with serious faces.
In this way, a hundred-man cavalry unit broke away from the transportation work and rode towards City Gate in the east.
More than an hour later, with the efforts of seven hundred cavalry and three thousand servants and maids, all the grain and Gold Dragon in the warehouse were moved to the carriage.
"Sir, shall we set off?"
Willas couldn't help but tighten his right hand on the crutches. He said nervously, "Wait a moment."
Now, the cavalry who went to support Priest Teresa did not come back, and Loras and Margaery did not come over either. He felt deeply uneasy.
Not long after, Loras arrived on horseback, "Willas, let's go quickly, Ironborn has already reached the third city wall."
"Where is Margaery?" Willas asked hurriedly.
Loras responded, "Margaery and White Dragon have retreated to the castle and are cutting off the rear for us. When we start to evacuate out of the castle, they will cover us in the air."
Willas nodded, then pointed to the east, "We will go out from the east gate and go directly north along Roseroad."
Loras asked suspiciously, "East Gate? Didn't you say that Ironborn might invade the East Gate? We carry so much luggage, how should we fight back if we encounter Ironborn?"
Willas talked about Priest Teresa, and then said, "So we need to go to the east gate and join up with another hundred cavalry."
The Highgarden cavalry has extremely strict discipline. If they encounter an enemy attack, they will definitely send someone back to report. Now that no one has come back, it means that they are probably still searching for Theresa in the east.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this cavalry unit fell into the siege of Ironborn and all of them were killed.
Willas There is no other way now but to give it a try.
He handed over the cavalry to the command of Loras, and personally dispatched three thousand carriages, driving to the east side City Gate in a mighty manner.
Seven hundred cavalry escorted 3,000 carriages, and each cavalryman had to guard four to five carriages on average. Obviously, this was impossible to accomplish.
When there is no enemy attack, the cavalry can barely take care of them. Once there is an enemy attack, it is impossible for them to guard all the carriages.
Fortunately, Teresa came to "explore the road" before and wiped out all Ironborn and the rebels along the way.
Three thousand carriages passed through three City Gate without much effort and arrived at Roseroad outside Highgarden.
Willas also met here the cavalry troops who went to search for Teresa, and they were on their way back.
The general who led the team reported back, "Sir, we found no trace of Ironborn and Priest Teresa. Based on the footprints, it can be inferred that the group of Ironborn who escaped seemed to have gone to the shore of the Mander River and then left by boat. Priest Teresa may have been captured by them..."
Willas breathed a sigh of relief, and he said calmly, "More than a thousand Ironborn were attacked from behind, but they were all killed by Priest Teresa. Can the remaining hundreds of remnant troops capture her? Forget it, perhaps Priest Teresa has private matters to deal with, let's hurry up and get on our way."
Highgarden, inside the castle.
Lord Mace handed over the task of defending the inner city wall to several other nobles and asked them to lead troops to fight against Ironborn. He returned to the castle and found his two sons to raise an army to hold him accountable.
But not only did he not find his son, he also found that all the servants and maids in the castle had also escaped.
He finally caught a living person, who was the steward of the castle, and immediately asked angrily, "Where are the people? Where have they gone?"
The steward said tremblingly, "Your Excellency, they all followed Master Willas."
"Following Willas? I am their Duke, how dare they?" Mace was furious and kicked over the wooden table next to him.
The steward smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, those servants only listened to the old lady's orders before. The old lady handed the castle to the young master before she left, so now they only listen to the young master's orders..."
Mace squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth and asked, "Then why don't you leave?"
The steward smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, I was promoted by you, so naturally I have to follow you, your lord."
He actually wanted to go with Willas, but he often informed Lord Mace, so Willas didn't trust him, so he didn't take him away.
Lord Mace, who didn't know the truth, praised, "You are still loyal..."
"Bang!"
A cannonball smashed through the ceiling and shattered the steward's head.
Lord Mace stayed there for a long time, then walked out of the castle in a daze, and happened to meet Margaery who came to find him.
Margaery and Bingling landed in front of the castle gate, "Father, come up quickly, Highgarden can't hold on anymore, let's leave as soon as possible."
Lord Mace laughed angrily, "Why can't you hold on? It's all you guys who are trying to steal everything. In order to please Luke·Stark, you emptied my Highgarden! If it weren't for you, why would I be like this!"
Margaery leaned over and said to Bingling, "Sister Bingling, please."
"Understood." Bingling bit Lord Mace's cloak and threw him onto her back, "Fat old man, hold on tight!"
"Ah! What are you doing!" Lord Mace hurriedly grabbed Bingling's dorsal fin to prevent it from falling.
Bingling vibrating wings took off and flew towards Roseroad to the north of Highgarden.
