Chapter 0425 Red Smoke Beast Ice Sword (6,000 Words for Subscription)
Night. King's Landing. Shoemaker's Square refugee center.
"Norris!" the woman was surprised and delighted.
"Shhhhh
"Well, here. ”
The woman lifted the corner of the small tent, and there was a straw mat on the ground, and a blanket was spread on the straw mat, and a little girl was sleeping on the blanket. A small candle was lit next to it.
The man leaned over, and the little girl let out an even breathing sound.
With a look of love and pity, the man gently leaned over and kissed the little girl's dirty face.
He looked around, and in the corner of the small tent, there was a small pot, two bowls, a small bucket, a few blackened firewood, and a small bag of flour.
"Recently......" The man's voice suddenly became strange, and he controlled his excitement, "Do you have bread to eat?"
"Yes, thank you, Lord Magic Mountain. Every once in a while, bread would be brought in, and some ham, though not much, would fill the stomach. Look at Belle's face, it's much better. ”
"Keep this as a bookmark. ”
"What?"
The woman took the man's mass and unfolded it, and it was a piece of cloth embroidered with 'a unicorn with a sword in its mouth', the size of a palm.
"Is this the Red Smoke Beast?" the woman recognized the horns on the beast's head. The people of King's Landing have all talked about the Crimson, and the refugees in Shoemaker's Square have seen it. Lord Demonic Mountain had ridden the Red Smoke Beast to hand out bread once, and it was also his last before he set out for Dragonstone.
'Red Smoke Beast, Ice Sword, the family crest of Lord Magic Mountain. “
"What are you doing here?"
"In three days, we will be besieging the city, and when the army comes in, the Lord is worried that the war will be ruthless, and if the situation gets out of hand, the warriors of the Crab Claw Peninsula and the mountain tribes will ...... Belch...... He loved to kill, and when the time came, if he met the Klegane army who came to Shoemaker's Square, tie this cloth to the placket of his clothes, or wave it in his hand to save his life. “
"The war is about to begin, and the city will be attacked in three days?" the woman's voice trembled slightly. Three days later, the army entered the city, and the soldiers on both sides fought bloodily, waving their stumps and splattering blood, which made it feel terrible to think about.
"Is there anything else about this?"
"No more. ”
"Of the two thousand recruits who joined the army with you, did each family bring this back?"
"Yes, there are special people who go to quietly distribute, and there are many of our own brothers in the city. I'm going to come back to see you and Belle, so I'll bring it myself. ”
"What about the Orff family? After you followed Lord Magic Mountain, we were in Shoemaker's Square, and Orff helped us a lot and kept me safe from being bullied by hooligans, but no one in his family was a Clegane soldier. ”
Norris was silent for a moment and whispered, "You can secretly embroider one side for him." ”
"Will it work?"
"Okay, Captain Erin said that when the city is broken, as long as there is the emblem of the Magic Mountain, the soldiers will not mess around, and they know that it is the family of the Clegane soldiers. ”
"I can't embroider alone. ”
"We're going to take three days to storm the city, so we can just embroider it. ”
"What about Marshall's family? There are no men in her family, she and we are from the same village. She also has three children, in case they are ...... Hack ...... to death," the woman trembled, "This is a damn war!" Why did the Prime Minister kill the people of Lord Guang Demon Mountain, he is simply a demon...... Belle and I are waiting for you to come back from Dragonstone...... Then we'll go home together. The woman couldn't help wiping away tears.
"Shhhh I have an idea, you can tell Marshall quietly and ask her to embroider one for herself, and there are still three days. Norris comforted his wife, "The Clegane Army has been ordered not to harm any of its people with the Red Smoke Beast and the Ice Sword pattern. ”
"As long as there is a picture of the Red Smoke Beast and the Ice Sword, it will be safe after the city is broken?"
"Yes, the military order has been issued, who would dare to disobey?!"
"Hmm!"
"Take care of Belle, I'm leaving. ”
"If you're leaving, can't you spend the night?" the woman's eyes turned red again.
"I entered the city secretly and could not be seen by the Prime Minister's patrols. It was very early and we had to be careful. ”
"The gates are closed at night, and the entry and exit are strictly checked, how did you get in?"
"We have our own way. ”
"You didn't go into the city alone?"
"No, we're going into the city in batches. ”
"How many people came in?"
"Don't ask, military secrets, if they are leaked, they will be killed. ”
We heard that the Prime Minister sent Count Gavin, the father-in-law of Lord Magic Mountain, to negotiate peace, and Lord Magic Mountain even detained the envoys, and we people don't want war. ”
"As long as the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister, Lord Magic Mountain will not hurt the innocent. “
"It won't hurt the innocent, why did you give me this thing back?" the wife brought a strand of cloth embroidered with the Red Smoke Beast's Ice Sword to her husband's eyes.
"This is war, just in case. The adults have newly collected 4,000 soldiers from the Crab Claw Peninsula, and all of them are very ...... Uh, terrible. Once you enter the city and encounter stubborn resistance, no one can say clearly, in case the situation gets out of control. ”
"Will you go back to the ship in the next three days?"
"I can't tell you. ”
"If you go back, tell your captain Erin that captain tells Lord Magic Mountain that we people want not to attack the city. ”
"We don't want to attack the city either, so we give the king three days to reply, and we only need to kill one innocent murderer, the Duke of Tywin. If the king does not reply after three days, or refuses, we must break down the gates. “
"Yes, nothing is necessary!" Norris, tell your captain and Lord Magic Mountain what we think. ”
"No, think about it, if someone had poisoned you and Belle, would I have spared him? They are living a miserable life every day now, and if it weren't for the pressure of the adults, someone would have already infiltrated the city and set it on fire. The walls of King's Landing, to us, are as if they didn't exist. Lord Magic Mountain can break the city at any time as long as he wants. We've all been patient. ”
The wife looked at her husband's resolute face, she touched his arm, the strong muscles like black iron, touched his waist, and under the cover of the wide coat, there was indeed a dagger and a short knife.
"We have the pattern of the Red Smoke Beast and the Ice Sword, and we can save our lives, so don't go back, stay with me and Belle, in case this siege ......"
Norris stepped back half a way and glared at his wife: "No, I am a Clegane warrior now, and I have the glory of a warrior." “
The wife looked at her husband in amazement, who had been in the army for several months and had changed. She had noticed the change in him from the first moment he came in, she could hardly recognize him, that kind of sharpness and fierceness, he had never had before.
"You went to the army just to get us a loaf of bread. You said that after fighting Stannis, you will get your military pay, and you will come back, and our family will go back to our hometown in the south. ”
"But now the war is not over, Lord Magic Mountain wants the king to hand over the prime minister, what will we do if we soldiers escape? How will I face Captain Erin? You forgot who gave you food during this time? Do you want me to escape? Am I still a soldier?" Norris glared at his wife's eyes, which made her feel frightened.
"I think you've forgotten why you joined the army in the first place. ”
"I haven't forgotten, Lord Moshan said that every soldier's family will get land, if someone bullies you and Belle, you tell me, I tell the captain, after Lord Moshan knows, no matter who that guy is, he will be unlucky!"
"How could he be unlucky? With so many soldiers' families, can Lord Demon Mountain take care of it? Moreover, you are on the boat of the Blackwater River, and we are in the city. ”
"Lord Magic Mountain doesn't have to take care of it himself, someone is in charge of these things, the big black bear Luo Erjie and the mute fangs, our law enforcement captain. Don't look at them on the ship with our legion, a lot of things in the city, where the hooligans robbed things, which nobles were stolen, they all knew. There are our brothers in the city, good brothers, who have always been there. ”
"Are they the ones who bring bread and ham after a while?"
"I can't say!"
Silk Street, Count Odd's Noodle House.
Alec, the wife of the late Kuroishi, the head chef of the Somen Noodle Restaurant, slowly reached under the pillow and squeezed the hilt of a short sword. She stared wide-eyed in the direction of the black bedroom door, and there was no doubt that someone had come in.
The footsteps were very soft, and he came to the door, and pushed the door open, which showed that someone had come in once, and he pried open the door and Alec was asleep at the time, and the thought of someone coming in in was in a cold sweat.
"It's me, Julie. ”
"Miss Julie!" Alec was surprised and delighted, "You're here!" Alec rolled over.
"We will attack the city in three days, get up quickly and come with me. ”
Alec jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed.
"Bring your sword. ”
"Yes! Miss Julie. ”
With Julie, there were two men dressed in black.
"Has anyone from the prime minister come to you these days?"
"Nope. Word spread throughout the city that the Prime Minister had killed all the ...... in the Cregan Territory Is that true, people?"
"It's true. ”
Alec was silent for a moment.
Her son and daughter are in the Cregan territory.
"Tobert went with his four brothers to pick up Dan and Nina, and the Seven Gods protected them. Julie said.
"Blessed by the Seven Gods. Alec froze, "Let's go, where are we going?"
She was very strong.
"Go to a safe place, my father is afraid that Tywin will go crazy, and he will do anything. You are our man, and we cannot leave you alone. ”
"I'm not afraid!
"You're not a warrior, Alec!"
"I'm Miss Julie, stabbing the enemy with the pointed end, I know!
On the south bank of the Heishui River, there is a primeval forest hundreds of miles long and wide.
The territory of the Baratheon family of Storm's End, the Eight Achievements are in the Royal Forest. Storm's End itself is a seaside castle on the southern edge of the Genservarid.
To the west of the Royal Forest is the first granary of the Seven Kingdoms: the Plains of the River Bend.
The Tyrells' Riverlands and Tully's Riverlands were the main granaries of the Seven Kingdoms. The two granaries, the Riverlands are richer than the Riverlands, which is the fundamental reason why the Tyrells family of the Riverlands are the most populous in their territory.
The land is fertile, the climate is warm and suitable, the long summer is the tenth year to this year, and the grain harvest in the river bay land has also been bumper for ten consecutive years. The Tywin family in the western realm is rich because of the gold mines, while the Tyrells family in Riverbend are ranked first in the Seven Kingdoms because of the trade in grain and the port of Old Town.
Only when there is food can there be people, and when there are people, there will be soldiers. Tyrell can muster 100,000 of his vassals at any time, while Tywin can muster no more than 20,000 of his vassals at any time.
Mestirel, the lord of Riverlands, brought his daughter 'High Court Rose' Margaery, his second son Yongwu Garland, his third son Loras, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, and his mother, Lady Olenna Redwin, the queen of thorns, entered King's Landing with 40,000 troops, and soon reached an agreement with Duke Tywin......
Night. The Royal Forest. King's Avenue. The grain wagons of the grain caravan in the river bend were parked on the highway, and they were nowhere to be seen.
A soldier escorting the grain cart got up to relieve himself, looked left and right, and saw no sentry, he muttered: "Damn, where did those guys go, and they went to gamble again." ”
Before the muttering was over, someone behind a tree next to him blew a melodious whistle easily, and a figure turned out, holding a short crossbow in his hand, and the bowstring sounded crisply, poof, the short arrow broke through the armor and plunged into the soldier's chest.
The soldier rolled over and fell.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves exploded in the forest, and the shouts were loud, and torches appeared in the forest like stars in the sky, surrounding the camp of the grain caravan.
In front of the procession, a man and a beast, holding torches high, like gods, roared, so fast that only a red shadow could be seen.
Before a group of guards at the gate of the general's tent had raised their guns, the giants had already swept by, and the cold light was like lightning, and the upper bodies of the guards flew up one after another, while the lower bodies were still standing on the ground.
!!!!!
When half of the body fell to the ground one by one, and a man and a beast had already rushed into the big tent of the grain transport officer, they heard a loud bang, and the ice giant sword split the tent and rushed out from the other end of the tent.
Gilesford, the illegitimate son of Garth Tyrell. And Garth Tyrell, the uncle of Lord Mace, Duke of Riverlands, and the head of the High Court, was nicknamed "Fatty" Garth because he was very fat.
Hoping that his bastard son would do something to gain the favor of the Duke of Tyrell and the Queen of Thorns, Garth tasked him with delivering food to King's Landing.
This was the second time Gilesfo had carried grain, and he was lucky enough to encounter a cavalry raid on the Tyrells by the Devil's Mountain, two hundred miles away from King's Landing.
The time was very short, more than 500 grain convoys were captured, hundreds of horsemen and coachmen did not make any resistance, not a single person died, and there were no casualties among Moshan and his cavalry team.
"General, name?" Magic Mountain carried a shocked Gilesford flower, as if carrying a bloated mass of fat.
This old boy even pursues the same body shape as his father's 'fatness', which shows that he is a filial son.
"Gilesford, my lord. "Gilesford is still calm, or maybe he was so stupid that he forgot to be afraid.
His soldiers, mostly unarmed and unarmed, were held together like cattle by the cavalry of the Magic Mountain, pointed with spears. Among them were a number of prostitutes, mingled among the soldiers in the form of newborn babies, their long hair falling down to cover their faces.
"Gilesford flowers?"
Buddha flower is the uniform surname of all illegitimate children in Riverland.
"Yes, sir. ”
"An illegitimate son who is the Tyrell family's grain officer, who is your father?"
"Garth Tyrell. ”
"Oh. Fat Garth, the head of the High Court, after Lord Mace and the Queen of Thorns left the High Court, he was in charge of the housework. Giles, what about your bachelor. ”
"No bachelors, my lord, I don't have a bachelor in the army. I am an illegitimate child and have a ...... status in the Tyrells Not high. ”
"Where's your raven, bring your raven, and I'll send a letter to Lady Olenna, Queen of Thorns in King's Landing. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The Magic Mountain threw Giles's fat on the ground: "Hurry up and get the raven, Sir!"
"Yes, sir. ”
Obese people run funny, especially with a pair of short legs under a pile of white fat that only wears shorts.
But the hundreds of Klegane cavalry did not laugh. They had armor, helmets, masks, spears, swords, and shields. One person carries a vacant war horse to replace his leg strength at any time, and the air combat horse saddle is added, and several throwing spears are hung.
They circled more than 500 grain carriers and more than 500 grooms and coachmen into two circles, with their spears flat and pointed forward, pointing at the more than 1,000 people.
Moshan personally led the elite cavalry of the Clegane to raid in the middle of the night, and the cavalry commanders were all in place: Dunson Cregan, Polyvo Cregan, and Sweetmouth Raf de Cregan were all dispatched.
Soon, Gilesfohua brought the raven cage from his Chinese army tent, and there were three ravens inside, with red eyes open, and their heads kept tilting to and fro, looking inquiringly at the cannibalistic humans outside the cage.
"Tie the letter!" Magic Mountain tossed the letter to Giles, which had been written long ago. The paper roll is a small cylinder with sealing wax dripping on it.
"Yes, sir!" Giles cooperated. When he went in to get the crow cage, he also put on a coat for himself, which was exquisite.
The raven soared into the sky with the letter from the Demon Mountain, and with a chirp, flew away in the direction of King's Landing.
"Giles, do you think the murderous Lord Demon Mountain will order you to be killed?"
“...... No...... My lord. Giles was a little shorter, as if avoiding an invisible sword light.
"Why?"
"We have no grudges, my lord. It's Lord Tywin Lannister who angers you, not our Tyrells. ”
"Well, you answered correctly, then, if I don't kill you, will I let you go for nothing?"
"Uh...... Follow the rules...... We are willing to pay the ransom, my lord. ”
"Well, I accept your ransom. There is a wrongdoer, there is a debtor, and I will transport your grain to King's Landing for you, is there a problem?"
"Thank you, sir. ”
"Knight Polivier, you are in charge of protecting the wagon masters and ox carts, and now set out at once to transport the grain wagons to the Blackwater River ferry. ”
"Yes, my lord!" said Polivier, and the cavalry divided into two hundred-man teams, escorting the carriage master and the ox-cart master to jump into the grain cart, a ten-man cavalry to open the way, and a twenty-man cavalry to the rear, responsible for breaking the rear. There were a total of 180 cavalry patrolling in the middle, and the cavalry commander was the Knight of Polyvoic, and two centurions under him.
The grain truck team was launched.
"Sir Giles, our horses, your armor, and your weapons, we will take them as ransom for your five hundred brothers and you, do you agree?"
"Totally agree, my lord, you're a lot. My brothers and I are grateful. “
"And your tent, all the clothes, pants, shorts, we want them all, do you have any problems?"
"............," Giles stammered briefly, "as you wish, sir." ”
"Very well, Dunsen, Sweetmouth Raff, you all hear me, take all the horses, armor and weapons. ”
"Yes, sir. The two cavalry commanders spoke in unison, and at the same time again in unison, but in disagreement, Deng Sen said: "My lord, the tent is okay, underwear ......."
Dunson shut up before he finished speaking, because Sweet Mouth Raff spoke quickly and his eloquence was his basic skill, and he had already finished speaking: "My lord, I accept all the tents and clothes and pants to take, but do we have to take away the underwear and shorts? ”
"Don't take it away, burn the tent, your clothes, your shorts, and all your shorts. Magic Mountain said.
Deng Sen and Sweet Mouth Raff snorted, and then held back a laugh: "Yes, my lord." ”
There was a slight noise among the cavalry of the Cregans! Under the mask, I believe that many of the boys laughed maliciously.
Five hundred light skin eggs and grain transport soldiers, thinking about that picture, I can't bear to look at it directly.
Under the gentle gaze of the Magic Mountain, Giles ordered the brothers to strip themselves naked, and everyone to return to their original self state.
A hundred-man squad of the Klegane cavalry picked up the little nene of the soldiers with their spears, threw them together, and brought the tents and clothes and trousers, all piled together, and poured fire oil on them, and the fire rose to the sky.
Magic Mountain took out a scroll of paper: "Giles, this is my letter to the High Court, the letter says your current state, since you are the illegitimate son of the governor of Garth Tyrell, I believe that Garth will send someone to bring you clothes soon." ”
Giles took the letter, "Thank you, sir, my brothers and I are grateful! His body began to tremble slightly. Late at night in the royal forest, the air conditioning hits the body.
Luckily, there was also a huge fire waiting to keep warm.
Magic Mountain had made all the arrangements in advance, and the letters were written in advance. This scheming strategy surprised Giles. He couldn't help but think of one person: Lady Olena, Queen of Thorns, the true ruler of the Riverlands.
If Lady Olenna runs into the Magic Mountain, I don't know who is more scheming.
The raven took off again, this time to report to the High Court.
A military whistle sounded on the magic mountain, and the cavalry shouted, whistling away, the sound of hooves like thunder, exploded in the forest, and soon, the sound of hooves was far away, and countless torches turned into little sparks, and finally, all disappeared into the dark depths of the imperial forest.
The Magic Mountain and his cavalry have been gone for a long time, and in front of the fire, a military flag of the 'Red Smoke Beast Ice Sword' is still fluttering in the wind in front of Gilesfohua's eyes, and the unstoppable words of the Magic Mountain are still ringing in his ears: Sir Gilesfohua, three days later, the Clegane army will break the city!
Giles Phillips looked at the empty raven cage, the magic mountain was shrewd, but he forgot that he had three ravens, let go of two, and one more. Although the Magic Mountain took away everything they had and turned them back into a baby state, it was a very easy thing to take out an unburned cloth horn from the ashes of the fire and bite off his finger to write a few words.
