Chapter 638 Conflict Escalation

The scorching sun above the head is scorching, the trees on the Crimson Mountains are not lush, most of them are bare stones, and the ground is barren.

Behind them is the desert, and in front of them is the oasis.

A group of people walked on the ridge, and in the distance, a towering stone tower could be seen on a small raised hill below the hillside.

"There is the Tower of Bliss."

As the guide of this trip, the young Karen opened his mouth and introduced.

"It is said that Eddard Stark led six knights against three Kingsguards, Geral Hightower, Arthur Dayne, and Oswell Haan."

"It was a humiliating battle, they fought with more against less."

The young man said indignantly, his dream is to be an excellent swordsman like the Dawn Excalibur, to use swords in the world and abide by honor.

However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves and shouting came from far behind them.

"stop!"

A team of Dornish cavalry in sand-yellow shirts and white turbans on their heads are patrolling the mountains near the Tower of Bliss.

On their way to patrol, they found this group of traitors who wanted to escape to the north, and then they pulled out the machete that was shining brightly around their waists, as if an eagle had found its prey, and rushed towards the horse.

"Oops!"

Seeing this scene, the dozens of villagers who were going to flee were all panicked. Except for a few strong men, most of them were old, weak and sick. How could they resist the aggressive cavalry?

Fortunately, the Crimson Mountains were unobstructed, and the other party saw them from a distance, but in fact the two sides were still separated by a long distance.

"quick!"

"Run away!"

The brown-haired teenager Karen saw this scene and his face changed drastically, and then he quickly waved his hands to say hello to everyone to escape into the complicated terrain on the other side.

There are all jagged rocks and occasionally trees, and it is not easy for the cavalry on horses to catch up.

a few days later.

On the road leading to Ash Beach, a group of unkempt and ragged Dornishmen appeared here. They were the young Karen and his party who had escaped from the Crimson Mountains.

They took advantage of the complex terrain of the mountain to deal with the Dornish cavalry, and finally escaped from the mountain, and even killed several Dornish cavalry.

However, the price paid was that there were only less than ten people left from the dozens of villagers on the way. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled died under the swords of their compatriots, including the mother and younger brother of the young Karen. It was the Dornish cavalry that pursued it even more aggressively.

"Is it worth it?"

Seeing that there were only less than ten familiar faces left, Karen's tears flowed down unconsciously, and her body couldn't help trembling slightly.

Among the people present, many people bowed their heads and secretly wiped their tears. In fact, many people have regretted it. It is better to die than to live. If you knew this, it would be better not to choose this desperate road.

But unfortunately, no one can sell regret medicine, and everyone should be responsible for their own choices.

rumbling—

However, when the group of defected Dornishmen were resting on the road, the roar of horseshoes was heard from behind them again.

"how is this possible?"

"They couldn't possibly have come here, could they?"

He had already reached the territory of the Reach, but no one could answer his question. All the surviving Dornishmen seemed to be frightened, including the young Karen, all hurriedly got up and clenched their swords and spears.

However, the sky did not go as expected. At the end of the road leading to Ash Beach, the familiar flag of the Fowler family in Tianjicheng fluttered. .

The Dornish cavalry, clad in white turbans and sand-yellow tabards, rode slender but sturdy desert horses.

They chased and killed these 'traitors' for days and nights, lost their way for a while, but finally found them again.

"Kill them!"

All the Dornish cavalry responded in unison, followed by the roar of a Dornish warrior with a falcon coat of arms on his chest.

rumbling—

Heavy horses hooves galloped on the avenue, they stared fiercely at their compatriots, then pulled out the bright scimitars around their waists, and rushed towards the young Karen and others.

"Damn!"

"We are dead!"

"That's Master Owen Fowler!"

And the faces of the fleeing Dornish people showed despair on their faces, including Karen himself, who also felt that they were dead.

They did not expect that Master Fowler's cavalry would be able to chase through the Prince's Pass and chase down the Reach in one breath.

They thought they were safe, so they relaxed their vigilance and changed to a better road, but they were caught up by the enemy, and now they are in danger. A cavalry charge can kill them all in one face.

And it was Owen Fowler, the nephew of Franklin Fowler who was 'Falcon Falcon'. Therefore, he is favored, and he is domineering and undisciplined all day long.

However, at this moment, there is no way out of the sky, and when the young Karen and others fell into despair, the other side of the avenue leading to Ash Beach in the distance also sounded the sound of rumbling iron hoofs.

The group of fleeing Dornishmen hurriedly turned their heads and looked to the rear, and then saw a group of knights coming from behind with the flag of the Cenford family in Ash Beach.

They were dressed in bright and heavy armor, armed to the teeth, and even the war horses were draped in heavy horse armor. Their eyes were full of killing intent, and the flag-holder held the daytime banner of the Cenford family.

"My sun shines!"

The leader of the knight also wore the Cenford family crest on his left arm, and then roared in a low voice.

"Kill all these intruders!"

"drink!"

All the knights of the Reach, holding their spears aloft, roared in unison in response.

It was obvious that the group of Cenford family knights who suddenly appeared in the rear were targeting the Dornish cavalry who were chasing down the traitors, and they didn't even look at Cullen and the others.

Because this group of Dornish cavalry has crossed the border to the land of the local lord, and they also want to kill people at will on this land.

During this period of time, the contradiction between the two sides has intensified. This is not the first or second time that the Dornish cavalry has done this. They have almost regarded the Reach as their back garden, which naturally aroused the anger of the local nobles.

This is the first step in their counterattack.

"quick!"

"Quick! Dodge to the side of the road!"

"Get out of the way!"

The group of Dornishmen who were sandwiched between the two teams of cavalry seemed to be frightened. Only the young Karen reacted first. He realized that the knights in the Reach were not targeting him, and hurriedly spoke loudly to remind his companions.

All the Dornishmen came to their senses and fled to the sides of the road to make way for the cavalry.

"Rush rush!"

On the other side, Owen Fowler, commanding the Dorne cavalry, saw that the knight in the Reach also did not flinch, but ordered to accelerate and charge up.

bang——

But at this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the Cenford family's knight formation, hitting Ser Owen Fowler, the leader of the Dorne cavalry, directly and accurately.

puff--

Old Fowler's nephew immediately screamed in pain, and then the arrow fell off the horse, causing dust to fly.
