Chapter 648 Surprise Attack

The revenge of killing his father is undeniable, not to mention that in Karen's case, his father, mother and brother all died at the hands of the Fowler family.

Nothing can resolve such hatred, and perhaps it is precisely because of this that Lord Jon Clinton chose this young Dorne as a guide, leading the most elite killers in the fifty troops to sneak attack on the Prince's Pass from behind.

The doubts in the eyes of the rest of the Reach knights disappeared, and the Oakheart family knight who was full of flesh and questioned at the beginning was also apologetic and patted Karen on the shoulder.

"Sorry, little brother."

And the boy with long brown hair also showed a slight sadness on his face. After such a long time, he has not completely recovered from his sadness.

But then Karen shook her head to restrain her emotions, and then picked herself up and said.

"Now that we're ready, let's go."

"My lords."

The road through the Crimson Mountains is not so smooth. Although most parts of the Crimson Mountains are "flat", there are more Dorne sentries patrolling the city of Tianji.

They can look far away by standing on the beacon tower, and sending out sentries can expand their surveillance range.

Of course, people who try to cross the Crimson Mountains can also choose to climb at night, but the chance of casualties is even more alarming.

Nowadays, people in this era generally have poor vision at night. If there is no light source, they can hardly reach out and see their fingers. If one foot is empty, it will be a dead end. The top predators such as desert wolves and lynxes that are active in the mountains at night will even focus on them. They might as well have ventured under the nose of the Dorne Whistleblower during the day.

But now Karen led the fifty soldiers and knights of the king's army to walk on not such a "smooth road".

It was a steeper and more precipitous road, and because of the large numbers of them on the trip, the attention of the Dornish sentry was the weakest here, and the Dornish people did not think anyone would try to walk this road.

Karen did not choose this road when he led the villagers through the Crimson Mountains, because most of the villagers were old, weak, sick and disabled. There was no doubt that walking a road would be death. He was caught by the Dorn cavalry.

The team on this mission is moving forward in silence. The young Dorn takes the lead. He has a thick hemp rope tied around his waist. He uses both hands and feet, and his fingers are clasped in the cracks of the rock. , and the same is true for the rocks on which you stand.

The steep cliff seems to be close at hand, but it is only a very short distance, but it seems to be far away.

Karen raised her head and glanced at the scorching sun above her head. The sun was a bit dazzling, and the sweat on her forehead kept sliding down. Then she took a deep breath and continued to climb up.

However, at this moment, a soldier in the army suddenly loosened when he raised his hand to grab the next stone.

"what--"

In an instant, he fell to the bottom of the cliff, let out a shrill scream, and then fell to the ground and fell into a puddle of flesh.

This companion accidentally fell under the cliff, but his screams before he fell to his death caused trouble for everyone else.

"Damn!"

The scream was so loud that it spread far in the empty valley. All the soldiers and knights of the King's Army who were climbing the cliffs felt their scalps go numb, and the savage-faced Reach knight couldn't help cursing. road.

They are now climbing halfway up the mountain. Although the slope is not directly 90 degrees, it is also extremely steep.

If the screams of the companion just now attracted the attention of the Dornish people, it only takes one person to use a bow and arrow or even throw a stone at the top, and none of the people below will be able to escape, and all of them will die here.

Including the young Karen who was the guide, everyone's hearts were raised, and they were leaning on the rock wall tightly, waiting for the final result.

But fortunately, after a long while, no Dornish people heard the sound and ran over to check, the Dornish sentry did not seem to be around, and they escaped.

Everyone let out a heavy sigh.

"If anyone falls next, keep your mouth shut like a man!"

"Don't drag everyone down!"

And the knight of the Oakheart family said fiercely with a pickaxe, and the rest of the soldiers and knights were all silent, as if tacitly acquiescing to this rule.

Since falling down is a dead end, even screaming is useless, it is better to leave the hope of life to others.

"continue!"

The group then continued to climb upwards.

It didn't take long for another person to fall off the cliff, but this time there was despair in the other's eyes, but he clenched his teeth and did not make any sound. In the end, there was only a muffled sound like a heavy sack falling to the ground.

The rest of the crowd were silent, gritted their teeth slightly, and no one said much, and then continued to climb up.

He died before he started, and finally the last person climbed to the top of the mountain. This precipitous road damaged a total of eight people, including a knight who was sealed.

However, the people who successfully reached the top did not feel any joy, because they knew that this was only half of the task, and there was still a difficult road waiting for them.

After turning over the top of the Crimson Mountains, everyone followed behind the guide and continued to infiltrate towards the other side of the mountain.

The group of people went through hardships and dangers, and finally arrived not far behind the Prince's Pass a few days later.

However, the remaining people are less than half of what they were when they set off, but they have really completed their mission, and they have not been exposed under the eyes of the Dornish people and have successfully touched the back of the Prince's Pass.

Now the Dornish soldiers stationed behind this pass are still very loose, without the slightest awareness, and they have no idea that an enemy has touched their rear.

"What should I do next?"

Everyone was lying in the surrounding woods, observing the movements of the soldiers at the gate behind the Prince's Pass, and summed up the rules of their patrol and duty, but there was no excuse for approaching the gate.

If he rushed over with a loud shout, he would probably be shot into a sieve by the arrows of the Dornishmen halfway, and he would be buried here, and all his previous efforts would have been lost in vain.

"Lords!

"I have an idea."

However, at this moment, the young Dorne Karen who was lying in the team looked at the convoy that was transporting supplies to the pass not far away, and said abruptly.

"Um?"

As soon as Karen spoke, everyone's eyes fell on him.

After all the difficulties and hardships before, everyone has now admired Karen and regarded him as a comrade-in-arms who could live and die together.
