Capítulo 176: Chapter 176
YGRITTE POV
2 days later
"You seem calm." She said as she used the magical enhancements given to her by her… boyfriend to zoom in and scout the leaders of the growing army in the distance.
13,000 people seems like a fairly small number when you know for a fact that the Bolton lands have more than 1,000,000 people living in it.
But when those 13,000 people stand in front of you, crude weapons in hand and willing to tear you to pieces, well… that 13,000 number start to look intimidating real quick.
Though considering that she had seen Domeric's large army a few times before, she was sure that she was still far more calm than the other heirs who might be pissing their pants at the sight of the Free Folk army in front of them.
"Do I?" Domeric asked with a bored look in his face as he gazed at the army in the distance with an utterly unimpressed expression.
She knew that the expression on his face was a facade because he was usually not this bored.
Varko told him that when Domeric went to destroy the Ibennese fleet in Iben, he had a similar expression on his face.
Maybe it was an expression he had cultivated to hide any fear or nervousness he might feel during such tense situations.
She herself had been trying to hold such a facade but it was harden than expected.
Even with the knowledge that if the Free Folk army somehow did defeat their own armies, she knew that he would use his magical travel method to get them to safety.
That still didn't remove the nervousness she was feeling in her heart.
"You do." She said as she gripped her bow tightly for more confidence.
The bow itself was a magical Valyrian Steel bow that he claimed to have found in Valyria. She believed him. The bow was capable of shooting arrows six-ten times farther than a normal bow and used magic to assist the arrow itself to the target.
With the magical enchantment on her eye, the magical bow and the magical quiver which held thousands if not tens of thousands of bow, she was a force of destruction on her own.
The fact that the magical bow put minimal strain on her shoulder was an added benefit which allowed her to shoot hundreds of arrows before she started to get tired.
"You show more concern when you're about to get scolded by your aunt." She said and he rolled his eyes though a fond smile came to his face at the reminder on his aunt who was toiling away at Dreadfort in his place.
"I have methods that allow me to keep my calm in all situations." He told her and she gaped at how unfair that ability was.
"You and your magic." She said and he chuckled at his tone.
"If you two lovebirds are done chatting, I think you should focus on the enemy once more. They're on the move." Lord Commander Jeor Mormont said from beside them, a deep scowl at his face at being denied the opportunity to lead his men once again.
The men of the Night's Watch were being led by Benjen Stark and Qhorin half hand. Both held the command of 500 men each.
The Bolton forces were being commanded by Walton and their chain of command was set even before they even left Dreadfort. But he had still sent Baka and Varko at the front lines.
She knew that both of them will be just fine. After all, they were both wearing the magical armor made by Domeric. Armor that was not dented even when a giant hit it with an giant sized hammer. Armor that did not gave way even when dozens of wights climbed on them when they fought their first White Walker.
Poor Orell. It had really been his bad luck to come across the White Walker whose own blade seemed capable of cutting through Domeric's own brand of magic.
"That they are." Domeric nodded quietly as about 10,000 of the 13,000 started circling the mountain and coming at them from all sides.
"You know what to do Ygritte." He told her and with a final nod, she left the command tent and climbed on the archer tower his men had constructed for her last night.
It gave her a full view of the battlefield, allowing her to find the enemy commanders and shoot them down. Sowing confusion in the enemy ranks and decreasing their moral.
Domeric had told her that she was one of the main reasons why he was so assured of his victory in this battle when he made love to her last night. That praise from him had filled her with pride back then and she wanted to make sure that she lived up to his expectations.
Because of the snow, the enemy army marched at a slow pace. But after 20 minutes of tense silence, the first arrows were fired.
The enemy had come into her range 10 minutes ago but Domeric had told her to hold until the battle truly stared so she held.
The Pump action Crossbows used by the men in Domeric's army wrecked havoc in the enemy forces and killed hundreds before they could even reach them.
She thought that the army moving toward the area held by Domeric's army would break. But they surprisingly held on. Probably thinking that the Domeric's army only comprised of archers.
They were soon proved to be wrong. When they reached closer, the men in Domeric's army changed weapons and took out their spears. Forming a spear wall that was not only impressive to look at but also far intimidating for any enemy standing in front of it.
The Free Folk army still didn't stop and charged forward.
They were brave, she would give them that.
But that wouldn't stop them from her arrows.
She released the first arrow and killed the leader of the Free Folk army attacking Domeric's forces.
And so her role began in this battle.
