Chapter 0687: Arya's Assassin Returns

Flags are waving, whistling!

The Lion and Stag Banner is the King's Banner, and the Red Smoke Beast's Ice Sword is the Cregan Banner!

"Open the door!" shouted the centurion on the rampart.

The soldiers of the garrison did not dare to slack off, shouted slogans together, pushed the winch, and the heavy iron-trimmed oak door slowly opened with a clattering sound.

It was the guard battalion of the Magic Mountain that came at a gallop, with more than five hundred absolute dead soldiers, absolute elites.

For each cavalryman, there were two throwing spears, followed by bows and arrows, long swords, short knives and daggers.

Throwing spears and charging into battle, bows and arrows are far away, long swords are horse combat, short knives and daggers are hand-to-hand combat.

The guard battalion of the Magic Mountain is a professional soldier with all-round tactics. On the days when there was no fighting, every day except for eating and resting, it was training and training, and there was never a day of interruption. Training in martial arts and battle formations is their life itself.

The Magic Mountain Guard Camp is paid three times as much as the soldiers of the King's Landing Royal Garrison!

Every soldier can fight alone, and as long as two people are together, they can play a well-trained coordination. More than 500 people are together, and that is an iron array.

The cavalry rushed to the city gates, and only then did they slow down. They entered the old city gate street, the sound of hooves was audible, the armor was distinct, and the military might was solemn.

Pedestrians avoided the sidelines, and many cheered loudly. However, the applause was almost exclusively for civilians, homeless, poor and refugees.

The three-year civil war, which is about to enter the fourth year of the civil war, when the Magic Mountain is in King's Landing, it is very helpful to the poor, the first is the distribution of food, and the second is the hired labor. Hire a refugee, and the wages and brown bread that the refugee gets to bring home can barely sustain the family.

Magic Mountain was the first general to capture Harrenhal in the Riverlands, and the grain reserves in Harrenhal were the ones that tens of thousands of people could eat behind closed doors for more than ten years. The Riverlands are the granaries of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Harrenhal Territory is the granary of the granaries thanks to the water of the Lake of God's Eye.

The reputation of the Magic Mountain is very bad among the nobles, and the superiority of the nobles is reflected in the etiquette, upbringing, family history, knowledge, etc., the grandfather of the Magic Mountain is just a dog trainer of the Lannister family, and his background is very low. Whenever the Magic Mountain achieved achievements or won battles, the nobles would talk about the Magic Mountain, and they would laugh at his family's ancestors as dog trainers, in order to find psychological deformity and superiority.

However, for the Magic Mountain, he didn't take it to heart to these nobles who looked down on him in their hearts but had to bow their heads in front of him. The university dog from the ancient oriental civilization of the earth understands a very simple truth: the poor account for the majority, and those who win the poor win the hearts of the people.

The Magic Mountain Cavalry Battalion entered the city and went straight to the Red Fort.

And at a distance of a day and a half, Petyr Beriss and Melisandre of Littlefinger with a cavalry of more than three hundred men were also on their way at full strength.

Of the more than 300 cavalrymen, one of them was from the valley, and it was a cronie that Littlefinger had cultivated during his time in the valley. The other two hundred cavalry are the two hundred pony soldiers in the tribe of the Bright Moon Mountain Range.

The more than forty tribes in the entire Mingyue Mountain Range, after learning that the Demon Mountain was in the deepest part of the mountain range, they all surrendered to the Demon Mountain. With more than 2,000 new warriors to join, he selected 200 cavalry warriors to enter King's Landing with Littlefinger, led by Melisandre, the priest of the army.

The war horses in the valley could not compete with the thoroughbred war horses of the Crab Claw Peninsula, and the dwarf horses of the warriors of the Bright Moon Mountain Range, which were suitable for mountain paths, could not keep up with the speed of the cavalry of the Magic Mountain on the flat avenue, so this cavalry team of 300 people, led by Petyr Berish and Melisandre the Littlefingers, formed the second echelon into the city.

The Magic Mountain looks like a rugged giant, but in fact he is as careful as a hair and extremely cautious. In order to live longer, it is not surprising that even with the sheep thief dragon, he still will not rush into King's Landing with one person and one dragon, and his guard camp must follow.

Although the guard battalion was all elite, there were not many of them, so the Magic Mountain temporarily selected two hundred cavalry from the two thousand recruits in the Bright Moon Mountain Range and asked them to follow Melisandre to act together.

The Magic Mountain team and Littlefinger's cavalry combined, a team of nearly a thousand cavalry, plus Melisandre with mystical powers, his own ice greatsword and a giant dragon, this strength entered King's Landing, even if something happened, it was enough to raze the enemy.

Melisandre is a stunning woman, but she is the most reliable defender of the Mountain, who thinks she is stronger than all the guards. With the dragon in the Magic Mountain, he felt more in need of Melisandre's protection.

Maybe once a poor egg really becomes the richest man in the world, the first thing that comes to mind is probably not enjoyment, but safety.

Demon Mountain's reckless style and the size of a giant with absolute power belie his usual caution, and the more powerful he becomes, the more he must be secretly cautious. And unlike the Magic Mountain, a girl with a thin figure, not tall, and only a child-like toy sword at her waist is not low-key at all.

The woman travels in the city of Pantos to a large cargo ship in King's Landing.

It was a large three-story merchant ship with a tall hull and a thick mast that reached into the sky, making it look unattainable. The sea breeze blew the sails so loudly that the oarsmen on board didn't have to row, and the big boats ate the wind and came quickly towards the port of the Blackwater River in King's Landing.

A narrow sea that separates two continents: Essos to the east and Westeros to the west. There are nine free trade city-states on the continent of Essos, five of which are located on the coast, two inland, and two on islands in the sea. Of the nine free trade city-states, the most powerful at sea is the city-state of Braavos.

This girl is from the city-state of Braavos. The merchant ship also came from Braavos, and the mercenaries, sailors and oarsmen, the captain, were all Braavosians.

In the city-state of Braavos, the most powerful in the navy, there is a very famous island - the Isle of the Gods. The island is home to a Black and White Courtyard, a place dedicated to the training of the best Assassins. The Assassins believed in another incarnation of the Grim Reaper: the God of a Thousand Faces. When a person becomes an assassin in the Black and White Academy, his own true face must be erased, his name, family, past grievances and hatreds are all reduced to zero, and everything is reset to zero, and everything starts again, just like a new life.

The Assassins who had lost their true identity had a common name: the Faceless.

This girl is the faceless one trained by the Black and White Academy. She is a faceless person who refuses to forget who she is, and when she returns from her studies, she is obsessed with killing Cersei Lannister.

Three years on, in addition to her father Eddard Stark, who was rescued from the Black Prison by a mysterious man, her sister Sansa Stark was forced to marry the little demon Tyrion Lannister, an ugly dwarf who was not worthy of her sister at all.

Three years ago, the Prime Minister's Tower in King's Landing was besieged, and his father's guards, stewards, nuns, grooms, butchers, old cooks, and cleaning servants, including pigs, horses, cows, and sheep in the livestock pens, and her best butcher brother Mikay, were all killed by the golden robes sent by Cersei.

She survived the battle and met Jaqun the Faceless in Harrenhal, where she was persuaded by the Magic Mountain to board a ship on the docks of Saltworks and cross the sea to the city-state of Braavos, where she entered the Black and White Courtyard to learn the world's best Assassin secrets.

Although the girl is a true faceless, she still remembers her name and true self: Arya Stark!

*

A group of mercenaries fight on the deck, guess the orders, and talk about women, all of which are inappropriate for children. As they were talking and laughing, a woman's voice rang in their ears, "Can I sit down and have a drink?"

The mercenaries were stunned for a moment, their laughter and noise stopped abruptly, and before they could react as they should have been, they saw a young girl already sitting in their circle, as if this was her home, her circle, her territory, and she sat down like this, and it seemed natural.

A woman who is not afraid of them, the mercenaries have basically never seen. These mercenaries are all living a life of licking blood with knives, and shamelessness and bravery are their life creeds.

But this girl who suddenly appeared made them not have the urge to spread wild Yaxing and spew foul language. This made them a little confused, and they didn't quite understand what was wrong with them. It was as if all of a sudden, they were afraid of her.

The girl is on the thin side, but she has a really good figure. There is a sword belt around his waist, and on the sword belt is a small sword that is so thin that it can break at a glance.

The mercenaries gathered around a stove with several iron chisels, on which they were dressed in roasted meat such as rabbits, chickens, and ducks. The barbecue is very fragrant, the aroma wafts on the deck, and there is a special barbecue chef who is helping the mercenaries to barbecue.

The barbecue chef also looked at this girl with a stunned face, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Several mercenaries looked at the girl in the same amazement as the barbecue master, and the girl spoke again: "Don't worry, I won't eat your wine and meat for nothing." She took out a gold coin and threw it in front of the barbecue master, "Is it enough?" The gold coin spun drippingly, and after a while, it was still spinning, and it didn't even fall.

The girl gestured to the mercenary beside her, and the mercenary, who was dressed in bronze with a collapsed nose bone, instinctively handed her the wine bag in his hand, and the girl took the wine bag, raised her head and took a big sip: "The wine is mixed with water." She frowned, and with a bang, a small knife shining silver appeared in the girl's hand, and she cut off a yellow, orange, and orange rabbit leg, and opened her mouth to bite off a large piece of meat.

"It would be nice to have a jar of honey. The girl said.

"Who are you?" asked a mercenary who looked like a leader.

"Nobody, a nameless, really. ”

The mercenaries were originally a group of outlaws who were not afraid of heaven and earth, but it was very strange that their vicious nature suddenly disappeared in front of this girl, which was very strange. It seems that there is a strange invisible power in the girl's body, which makes them all involuntarily become 'righteous gentlemen'.

"You're going to King's Landing too?" said the other mercenary.

This is a standard nonsense. This is a merchant ship to King's Landing, and she is naturally going to King's Landing.

"Yes, go to King's Landing. ”

"What are you going to do?" the leader-looking mercenary asked again. They looked at the girl with wary eyes, but they didn't know it. Perhaps asking these nonsense is not out of their sanity, but out of instinct. Otherwise, the mercenaries watched a strange girl join them, and watched her drink wine and eat meat......? They couldn't believe it......

"Go kill Her Majesty, Cersei Lannister. The girl said.

The coin's rotation finally stopped, and it stood slightly upright for a moment, then fell, making a slight metallic sound.

Several mercenaries and barbecue masters all looked at this gold coin in amazement, a gold coin can spin for so long, it doesn't move or fall in one place...... High-speed rotation ...... This girl...... Can dark magic?

One mercenary suddenly laughed, the second mercenary laughed too, then the third, then the fourth, and finally all the mercenaries laughed, even the barbecue master.

"You, going to kill Her Majesty the Queen Mother?" the leader-like mercenary looked at the narrow sword at the girl's waist, and he couldn't help laughing.

The girl also smiled: "You don't believe me?"

"No, we do. A tall mercenary laughed, "Girl, you are the best joker I have ever met, and I want to toast you." ”

The girl did not shirk, grabbed the wine bag and touched the mercenary's wine bag, and both of them raised their heads and took a big sip of wine.

"Girl, you're going to kill Her Majesty the Queen Mother of King's Landing, aren't you afraid of death?" the mercenary who looked like the leader laughed.

"Everyone dies. The girl said lightly.

All the mercenaries were stunned, and the leader and mercenaries said in unison, "All people must be worshipped." ”

The barbecue master is from Braavos, and his face is slightly pale: "The girl is from the Isle of the Gods in Braavos?"

The girl glanced at the master who was in charge of the barbecue for the guests on the boat, she was obviously holding a knife in her hand to cut meat and drink wine, her hands were not empty, but suddenly she took out a very worn-out iron coin, one side of the iron coin had a head that had been completely unclear outline, and the other side was engraved with a row of words that were also worn out so that they could not read clearly, but it could be vaguely seen that it was written that all mortals have a death, and all mortals must be enshrined.

"Master, take this iron coin to your captain, I want to change the best room on this ship. ”

The faces of the barbecue masters and mercenaries have changed, and this iron coin has a very special meaning in the city-state of Braavos. Everyone is in awe.

"The girl is ......" The mercenary leader-looking guy rushed out, but he immediately realized that he was wrong, and quickly closed his mouth tightly.

The girl said, "Everyone dies." ”

Everyone was respectful and said in unison: "Everyone must be worshipped." ”

The barbecue master hurriedly stood up, holding the iron coin tightly in his hand: "Girl, please allow me to call the captain to meet you." The barbecue master held the gold coin in both hands and handed it to the girl. Even if he kills him, he won't ask for this gold coin.

"No, I need to rest well this way, let the captain change the best room for me, and if the captain has honey, you can bring it. Tell the captain that next time, don't sell water-mixed wine to these brothers. ”

"Yes, girl, I will tell the captain what she said. ”

The girl nodded, and the barbecue master went with excitement.

The girl said that she was going to King's Landing to kill Her Majesty the Queen Mother of the opposite kingdom, and she didn't need to tell these Braavos mercenaries not to divulge her words and deeds, every Braavos, when they met the Faceless, would treat it as if they had never seen it.

The girl glanced at the mercenaries of Braavos, who had suddenly shrunk and become restrained: "Come, drink!" She raised her wine bags, and the mercenaries raised their wine bags one after another.
