Rodrick gripped the Red Reaper firmly. The battle had already been joined and all he was waiting for was the signal to charge. They were off on the eastern flank ready to attack the enemy should the main line falter. He had given the command over to Berick, something he was rather relieved of; Rodrick had never enjoyed land battles. He much preferred a deck under his feet and the sound of oars in the water but he had to take blood where he could get it.
Then the horns rang out calling the men to attack. Rodrick lifted Red Reaper and let out a roar that was quickly taken up by the rest of the host. When they hit the wildlings chaos reined; all Rodrick remembered is his axe cutting through nearly a dozen freefolk, limbs flying through the air, and cries of anguish and fury. He then found himself in front of a man wielding two axes, the leader of the wildlings outside the castle. With a roar Harwin charged him and took off his head. As Rodrick held the head up the wildlings started to fall back, rallying men around him he gave pursuit.
The fight under the castle walls is bloody but Rodrick is able to keep some of his men together and fight his way through to the gate where he narrowly avoids tar being poured on his head.
Once the castle gate was down Rodrick and Berick rush inside with their ironborn. No man could stand against them and when they came up against Alharyi she was quickly mowed down.
The ironborn are the first to reach the inside of the castle and in the bloody fight that followed Rodrick killed another 15 warriors. Eventually the kingdom forces fight their way to the cells where one of the bloodiest fights in the history of the Wall take place.
Rodrick Harlaw increases to 40 battle command.
