Angel and Brienne looked around, and there were traces of gnawing leaves in the woods, a patch of tender grass on the grass that had been gnawed, footprints on the ground that looked like horseshoes but not horseshoes, and footprints of shadow lynxes superimposed on top of each other.

Apart from this, there were no other bodies nearby.

There are no signs of a fight on the ground.

Jenny dismounted to inspect the deceased, unbuttoned his clothes, his chest was bruised, and when he pressed it, all the bones in the deceased's chest were broken.

Jenny saw that gravity had struck the deceased in the chest, breaking the sternum.

The deceased had calluses in the palms of his hands, a short knife at his waist, the scabbard was rough and wooden, and the handle was rough and wooden, and had not been polished by hand.

The villagers of the Crab Claw Peninsula travel with knives on their bodies.

The deceased's knife proves that the deceased was not a warrior. The knife is very ordinary, and the handle and scabbard are made by themselves, not from the hands of a professional weapon master.

The deceased was just an ordinary villager.

In the end, everyone dug a pit, buried the dead, and moved on.

After an hour, the road began to widen, and the terrain began to fall downward, becoming more and more flat, and as far as the eye could see, the terrain on all sides became shorter, and the procession entered a small basin.

In the center of the basin, a mountain rises from the ground, hundreds of meters high, and you can see a faint mountain gate and a stone wall on the top of the mountain.

Ahead, a small cavalry squad appeared. The team saw the Clegane army and quickly caught up with it. They were all spears of animal skin, with rattan ropes tied around their waists, short knives and daggers hanging from them, long bows on their backs, and quiver bags full of black arrows.

Dunson slapped his horse alone, and Ange answered in the back, his bow and arrow in hand.

Dunson exclaimed, "The man who came is a warrior from the Sir Archibald Warner family?"

A rough man led more than a dozen horsemen to meet him, his face was painted with white paint in a circle of ripples on his face, his skin was dark, and his bare neck hung with a string of fangs of wild beasts.

His arms and chest were covered with leather, linen, open to reveal the black hair on his chest, and he wore a helmet with horns.

"Where's Lord Magic Mountain?" he asked unceremoniously in the standard lingua franca. The man was armed with a double-edged heavy axe with a sharp spike at the tip, and he was a burly man who looked like he must have strong arms.

He was a little stronger than Dunson's, as if he were a body made of rock.

After Archibald Warner's death, the King's Landing Officer sent a Raven to the Warner family, saying that Archibald's prefect, Lord Gregor Kregan, would personally come to the Warner family with a reward for Archibald and accept Kom Warner as an attendant.

All the knights and knights who died in the war will have an administrative officer to deal with the post-war comfort work of their families, but the Crab Claw Peninsula is a forbidden place, and in order to save their lives, the administrative officer will notify the news through the raven, and no one dares to enter.

The Cregan army was led by six flag bearers and two flag guards, then Brienne and Zeri, followed by Jane, the Handmaiden, and the Magic Mountain.

Because after passing the territory of the Fouca tribe, the road became narrower and narrower, and the carriage finally became impassable, and Janie had to abandon the cart and ride forward.

The mountain rode out slowly, and after he had passed the territory of Foca, he removed the plate armor, which was too heavy, and it was mainly a heavy burden on the horses. He didn't wear that huge flat-topped helmet either, and his true face was remarkable, with thick eyebrows and evil eyes, and a fierce appearance.

"Lord Gregor?" the other man jumped off his horse, his tone becoming respectful.

The Magic Mountain was made Duke of Dragonstone by King Joffrey, hereditary, and also after the commissioner sent out the raven. In the raven letter of the affairs officer, he did not dare to call Count Grego Klegan the Magic Mountain, and the people of the Warner family did not know that Grego Klegan also had the name of the Magic Mountain.

"Warriors of the Warners, this is our Duke Gregor Crega. Dunson said.

"Oh, I'm sorry. He said, "I don't know ......."

"It's okay, everyone calls me Magic Mountain, you can call me that. Demon Mountain said, his tone casual, which was seriously inconsistent with his fierce image.

Magic Mountain is interested in getting close to the Warner family.

"Yes, Lord Duke, my name is Steinbeck Warner, and I am the uncle of the young lord Komwarner, and we received the ravens of King's Landing some time ago......" He looked at the supplies on hundreds of horses, his eyes glowed green, and at the same time he was surprised that the people in Foqua's territory did not start to rob him, "We are here to welcome your lordship. ”

"Steinbeck Warriors, what about Comwarner?"

"The young master is not in good health and can't travel to meet the adults. Steinbeck said.

"Not well, sick?"

"Yes, since I received the news that my brother had died in battle, Kom has ...... Excessive grief. ”

"What did the priest say?" the Magic Mountain worried. Kom is his squire and will train him to adulthood and become a knight.

"We in the Warner family have no priests, only elders. ”

"What did the elder say?"

"The child is just overly sad and refuses to eat, as long as he is in a good mood, it is not a big deal. Please rest assured, Your Excellency. ”

Magic Mountain nodded: "Warrior Steinbeck, then please lead the way." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

It's a small barren basin with a lot of small streams and rocky bottoms. The land is yellow-brown stony with shallow mud and large swaths of rock exposed on the surface. There is almost no fertile soil.

As we marched forward, a small village appeared, with stone-walled grass houses, straw huts, livestock pens, stables, and fields, where scattered barley and corn swayed in the wind.

The team finally reached the foot of the mountain, where a neatly built stone mountain road spiraled up the mountain to the top of the mountain. The team went up the mountain and came to the mountain gate halfway up the mountain to rest for a while, only to see a group of men and horses hurrying down from the front, and the shouts of Dorororo resounded in the sky.

The mountain road is very well built, because it is a winding mountain road that follows the mountain in a circle, not up and down in a straight line, so it is suitable for horse running.

This group of cavalry numbered about two hundred, with spears and animal skins, and the same as the warriors of the Fuka tribe, with only a small amount of leather bodyguards, and the exposed places were painted with white paint, and they came with a roar, and when they arrived in front of them, several leaders hurriedly dismounted, greeted Steinbeck, and under Steinbeck's introduction, greeted the Magic Mountain and others in lingua franca, but obviously left in a hurry.

The accompanying cavalry were also very excited, chattering about something, this situation Moshan and the others had already seen once in the people of the Fuka tribe.

At the mouth of the Forca Valley, when the two heralds arrived, the young leader, Joyce and Priest Doirty, looked as excited and anxious as they did.

Magic Mountain noticed that the Warner family, whether they were leaders or warriors, liked to decorate them with animal teeth, or on their necks, wrists, waists, and on the handles of weapons, and some of them were also hung on their ears, like earrings worn by women.

One of the leaders spoke to Steinbeck in the native language, and he was so excited and excited that veins on his neck popped up, one by one.

What is happening on the Crab Claw Peninsula, it seems likely that the two tribes are moving quickly for the same thing.

Soon, the gang jumped on their horses, waved to Steinbeck and the Magic Mountain, and roared away to the shouts of Dorororo.

The team continued up the mountain.

The Magic Mountain could see that Steinbeck was in a state of agitation, and his warriors wanted to go down the mountain as well.

Although it was taboo to ask what was going on in the other tribe, Moshan still asked, "Chief Steinbeck, what happened?"

This is also a question that all the generals want to know.

The people of the Fooka tribe, the people of the Warner tribe, are all exactly the same excited, and they can't help but run somewhere.

Angey, Erin, Dunson, Brienne, Zeli, and the others all stared at Steinbeck to see what he had to say.

"Nothing!" Steinbeck said.

Steinbeck refused.

The soldiers were really curious, but they all knew not to ask.

But the Magic Mountain didn't seem to pay attention: "Leader Steinbeck, I don't want to delay your more important business, if you and your warriors want to leave, we can go up the mountain ourselves." ”

Before Steinbeck could answer, the warriors around him began to talk in a hurry, and everyone was talking to Steinbeck, very excited.

Steinbeck stopped everyone's gossip and said to the Magic Mountain, "Lord Duke, I will send"

"There is no need to send someone to escort us, we will go up the mountain ourselves, and you give a token so that we do not clash with the warriors on the mountain. ”

"Well, thank you, Lord Duke. Steinbeck removed a string of beast teeth from his neck and put it in the hands of the Magic Mountain, "We do have something very important to do, and I will rush back as soon as possible." ”

"There's no need to rush to arrange us, we'll arrange ourselves. Magic Mountain said.

Soon, Steinbeck and his party hurried down the mountain.

Moshan and the others watched their backs turn around and couldn't see, so they continued to go up the mountain.

"Lord Duke, soldiers, when you arrive at the stone village on the mountain, don't say that I am a duchess, just say that I am the duke's maid, the military affairs officer, the military affairs officer who is responsible for treating knife wounds and fractures for the soldiers. ”

"Bacheloress?" said Lord Gratan.

"The Lady Officer, Lady-in-Waiting, and Bacheloress, otherwise how could Lord Magic Mountain stay with Madame at night?" said Polivier, blinking his right eye.

The generals laughed.

The mysterious atmosphere made by Steinbeck and his party suddenly disappeared, and everyone's mood suddenly became relaxed.

"What do you think those barbarians are in such a hurry to leave?" Sir Graderick, as a nobleman, had a strong sense of superiority over the barbarians.

"Golden treasure, famous sword beauty?" said Deng Sen.

"Power. Brienne judged.

The gods appeared, rushed to bow down, and asked the gods to return to the mountain. Angay laughed.

For a while, everyone said everything!

Zeli said, "Madam, what do you think they will do it for?"

"You don't know, how do I know?" said Janie laughed.

Demon Mountain's heart moved, he was the one who knew Jane's 'Blood Witch Secret', he peeked at Jenny, and the gaze that Jenny peeked at him was exactly the same as the gaze that Jenny peeked at him.

Magic Mountain's heart suddenly brightened: Jenny knows!

!

Jenny actually knew what was going on in the Fuqua tribe, and she also knew what was going on in Warners, so it was no wonder that when she looked at Jenny at the mouth of Fuqua Valley, Jenny nodded slightly, and asked her to let Joyce and Doherty go and let them do the thing that made them very excited and excited.

If it weren't for Jenny's hint, the Magic Mountain would have released everyone else, taking the young Joyce and the priest Dorty with them to ensure that his group could get out smoothly.

The steep mountain path between the two mountains is safest to have the young leader of Fuka and the priest Dorty in their hands.

This is a bloody place, and there are many accidents, although the magic mountain knows that there are gods in this world, he does not believe in gods. The gods of this world are like Littlefinger and Cobain, who can only be used by each other and intrigued, but not devout and full faith.

If this disrespectful and blasphemous idea were known to the monks, the Magic Mountain would be a heinous demon. They'll want the strangers to come and take the Magic Mountain.

With trust in Janie, the Magic Mountain released the young leader Joyce and Priest Dolty, although they were very reluctant.

Jenny asked him to release him, and she must have considered him carefully.

It turned out that she already knew about the secret events happening in these tribes!

Did she know or did the witch know?!

Magic Mountain prefers to believe that it is his grandmother Wu Ji!

Moshan stretched out his hand and hugged Jenny from his horse: "Janie's maid, the military affairs officer of the Klegane Army, a female bachelor who is proficient in medical skills, I have a very serious question for you." ”

Jenny exclaimed; Let go, and soon go to the gate of the mountain, and show the Warners that a duke is so open to his maids......"

"I'm just going to do this to my maid so blatantly. "I'm a duke, and I can do whatever I want to do to Janie's maid." ”

"You...... You...... You have no honor in doing this!" Janie was anxious.

"With Lady Jane Westerling as a maid, what more honor!"

The generals laughed.

"Don't worry, I know what you're thinking, you want to see a doctor for ComWarner, to see if he's really sick, or if there's something else, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

"Just look at it as a duchess. ”

"But if it is known by the clansmen with ulterior motives......"

"Whoever dares to mess around, we will kill him. Magic Mountain said lightly, "Madam, the people of Klegane, they are invincible!"

Brienne raised her right hand: "Madam, we really don't have to be careful, Com Warner is the identity of the young master, saved the young master, accepted the young master as an attendant, and the people of the Warner family will only support the young master, not people with ulterior motives." ”

"Yes, go up the hill and act above board. Erin, a northerner, agreed with the approach of the Magic Mountain, "Although Madame has made her identity public and sees a doctor for the young master, whoever has a scheming, we will stand up against him." ”

Under the influence of Eddard Stark, the northern guards are honest and honest, and they have a straight line. He's lucky that he doesn't have to deal with opponents like Littlefinger.

Gra Lantern smiled: "Madam, I see that the territory of the Warner family is not large, and the basin under the mountain is also less productive, this family cannot solve the problem of food by relying on their own land, and they are more vicious than the people of the Fuka tribe, I estimate that this family makes a living by plundering." “

"They won't have many troops. "The cavalry who went down the mountain just now, plus Steinbeck and his party, I counted the number of people, two hundred and twenty-one. And the Fuca tribe, the cavalry that intercepted us around yesterday already had two hundred horsemen. Joyce had said that his brother would bring more men to trouble us, and I estimate that the Fuqua tribe had at least five hundred cavalry. ”

"If you go up the mountain, you will know if there are any cavalry in the Warner family, and I estimate that there may only be two hundred cavalry. "Look at their anxious looks, if there were more cavalry, they would all be dispatched." ”

"They may have more infantry. Brienne said.

Magic Mountain doesn't care how many warriors the Warner family has, he cares about what exactly is going on in these tribes?

"Jenny, do you know what the Warners are in a hurry to descend the mountain for?"

"I don't know!" said Jenny, who didn't know, but her eyes told the Magic Mountain that she knew!

Demon Mountain's heart skipped a beat, and he saw that Janie's coming here had something to do with the mysterious events of these tribes.

The horse's hooves were gained, and the group came to the top of the mountain. A stone wall encloses the top of the mountain, the stone wall is three meters high, and the bouncing soldiers can climb up when they jump, three meters wide, with arrow holes and battlements.

The stone wall is not high, built on a steep rock, although the stone wall is not high, but there is a cliff outside, and the enemy cannot stand on it.

If there is an attack from the outside enemy, you can only attack from the main gate. The rest of the place, it's steep. On top of the steep slope is the stone wall.

Inside and outside the mountain gate, crowded with men, women, and children, all of them were unrecognizable, and the children's eyes were full of wildness, without the innocence that Jenny hoped to see. Whether it is a woman, an elderly or a child, they all wear long and short knives around their waists.

The poorly armored soldier held a spear in his hand, the tip of the spear pointed to the sky, and surrounded an old man in gray robes whose wizened teeth had been lost. Magic Mountain saw that this old man was the elder in the village, an old guy who had not yet died of old age.

The Magic Mountain took out the tokens of Steinbeck Warner and Archibald Warner, a string of animal teeth and a half-length armor embroidered with a heavy axe family crest, and the soldier took it and handed it to the elder.

With these two things, the guarded eyes of the people in the stockade softened, and the silence, suspicion, and inquiring hostility turned into a pious bow and welcome.

The group was brought into the cottage, the horses were led into the stables by the women, and the goods on the horses were unloaded by the soldiers and men, including grain, cloth, iron, armor, swords, a small amount of silk, pots and pans.

The lingua franca was followed by the elders, and the Magic Mountain and the generals were ushered in a wooden building made of wood with no walls and only a dozen large wooden pillars, and the soldiers were brought into the barracks, where the women of the stockade were in charge of reception.

Most of the people who came to see the excitement were women, the elderly and children, and there were really not many soldiers, and the magic mountain estimated that the entire cottage was only two hundred infantry.

On the top of the mountain, many houses have been built, mostly wooden buildings and many stone houses, all of which are two-storey. The upper floor is inhabited by people, and the lower floor is inhabited by livestock and horses. This caused the air to smell of livestock in the whole cottage, and flies, mosquitoes, and small black worms flew everywhere, welcoming King's Landing more warmly than the people.

The two sides sat on the floor of the wooden building, and in front of them were long tables like wide stools, and all sorts of suspicious food were served, as well as wheat wine brewed by the mountain people.

Jane explained her intentions, and the other elder shook his head, refusing to distribute the supplies sent by the Kleganes to appease the other dead soldiers, and the elders were only willing to distribute the materials of their own tribe's dead soldiers, as for the other tribes, they all shook their heads.

Jenny hoped that the elders would send their tribesmen as guides, and the Cleganes themselves would send supplies to other tribes to the families of those soldiers who had died in battle, but the elders refused.

The elders of the Warner family have brought the spirit of self-interest and non-profit to the extreme!

In the evening, after dinner, Moshan and Jenny came to see the elder, and Moshan saw that Toothless Elder could speak the lingua franca, and this old guy was not honest, and Moshan decided to let him be honest.

Moshan took out a bag of gold coins and put it in front of the elder: "Elder, I hope to send some of the materials to appease the soldiers, and most of them will be left in the Warner tribe, please help the elders." ”

The elder put away the gold coins, and sure enough, he would say the lingua franca: "Lord Duke, as you wish!"

"We are under the orders of His Majesty the King to recruit troops on the Crab Claw Peninsula, and we ask the elders to help. Jenny said.

"Robert Baratheon is dead, and the people here do not recognize the orders of other kings, and they want to recruit troops, which is difficult!"

Magic Mountain took out another bag of gold coins, and this time placed it in front of him: "Elder, you help me send a message of conscription to the various tribes, and then let us go to see the sick Com Warner, this bag of gold is yours." ”

"Plus this. Janine pulled out a delicate knife and drew it, cold and sharp, "Dagger made of Valyrian steel, Elder." ”

This is not a dagger of Valyrian steel, but a talisman knife for Madame Jeanne, crafted by Master Tobmot. Jenny followed the Magic Mountain for a short time, and she also learned badly.

The Elder's eyes lit up, "As you wish, Lord Duke, Madam. He reached for the dagger with gold and the exquisite scabbard, and his hands trembled slightly.

It's just a message, not a conscription, a gesture.

The warlike people of the peninsula love good swords, by nature, regardless of gender, young and old.
