Kingsroad Slaughter

## Prelude

> *Tywin: Haywin's allies will be sailing to the capitol to take it, but it will be down to the skill of his soldiers, mainly this order to keep the other lords from being able to properly assemble and protect the city.*

As the Battle for King's Landing was steadily becoming inevitable, lords and knights rallied to the city hoping to be there to protect it from falling. Tywin sent a contingent of men to the mainlands to assist in plundering the lands and making this assembly more difficult to achieve. The Order of the Black Knights was the biggest obstacle to this endeavor having taken in sellswords hired by Haywin or freed in Dragonstone along with the hired numbers under the Order turned divided there forces among there knights with Ser Timmet being the one who lead the attacks across the Kingsroad, hitting the enemy and retrating back to ruin any chance at keeping a steady supply chain for any lord that wasnt part of the crownlands.

Ser Timmet didnt count on Ser Zelos Wilder, the man who had uncovered the conspiracy being on the way to assist having brought his fighting force to go and meet the enemy head on. Though he had planned on going along to help the city he stopped to deal with Timmet after seeing his handiwork looking for him among his usual attack routes and trying to put an abrupt end to the man's efforts. Though he knew prioritizing the House was one thing he had a chance to bring Zelos' head to Haywin which he believed would have greatly pleased the Demon King.

## The Battle

> *Zelos: Just you? Ive been waiting for this since you fuckers too my sister. You wont get away from me again.*

> *Timmet: I dont intend to. In fact Ill even gladly bring you to my king. One piece at a time!*

As Zelos' army moved across the road Zelos was leading from the front of his forces before the Bandit force attacked from the woods attempting to take him in an ambush from two sides, mainly focused on Zelos retinue looking to kill the Lord and fall back, assuming the army would fall apart after his leadership was cut down. The wilder troops which had been trained by Zeto aros in Zelos' absence were well organized and the initial attack was a brutal struggle on both sides. Once the element of surprise had lost its hold, the numbers game made sure the battle started to favor the Wilder's and Timmet was forced to fall back to avoid being slaughtered.

But Timmet made a grave mistake, he retreated to an area Lord knew very well. The cabin that belonged to Harden, Zelos cousin had found it and during Zelos' brief alliance with Aegon he had been there as well and Zelos suspected he had fallen back there...and was proven right. Timmet was shocked to see a calvary force push through his lines and cut a lot of them down before archery and infantry forced scattered his men. Timmet tried to organize a retreat but was cut off and killed by Zelos, destroying any chance of getting an organized force back.

## The Aftermath

> *Zelos: Just one Knight....Aegon's order had several, all just as capable as him, some even more. Who knows where they are, and what there doing for Haywin.*

The victory was bittersweet, though Zelos had decisively won, the enemy was still alive and Zelos summarized he had only killed and captured not even half, many of those men would terrorize the kingdoms again and he had no time to round them up. Furthermore he knew Timmet didnt act alone, nor was he the most likely new leader of the Order. Therefore the threat they posed was far from over. He was correct as the Order was not only barely slowed by Timmet's death and failure but would go on to achieve another victory. One that devastated one of the greatest threats to Haywin's power.
