Chapter 7: The First Battle

Eventually, Jones left, leaving some handy copper coins for Arya.

His heart was full of shame, and for whatever reason, he still left the little girl who was helpless.

This was also the first time he felt powerless and self-blame after crossing over, especially after hearing the little girl say that she hadn't eaten properly for a few days.

......

It was obviously too strict when I went out of the city, but fortunately I was prepared.

Joaquin disguised himself as a merchant from a free trade city-state, while Jones wore full-body armor and concealed his face, transforming into a professional bodyguard.

"My lord, these are all excellent crafts, and the people of our free trade city-state have great admiration for the culture of the Seven Kingdoms. Joaquin said flatteringly, with his thin body and slightly lewd face, a cunning businessman who was alive and well.

After the golden robe poked the truck with his sword a few times, he waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go!" For the foreigners on the other side of the strait, they have always had this disgusted attitude, as for Jones in full armor, they also automatically ignored it, just a lowly free rider.

There was no danger of passing the examination of the golden robes guarding the city, and they didn't go far before they threw the handicrafts that they had spent a dozen golden dragons to a hidden position, and then the two of them, under the guidance of the moonlight, rushed to the north on the King's Road.

......

The sound of horses' hooves like a torrential rain kept ringing on the lonely road, and even though it was the middle of the night, the two of them still had no intention of stopping.

Suddenly, there were several "booms", "booms" and "booms" from the darkness, and then Jones heard the neighing of the horses under his crotch, and a feeling of weightlessness followed.

Despite his efforts to protect his head, the moment he collided with the ground smashed him to pieces, and the metal armor of his body plowed the ground into a deep mark.

"Ahh

The pain was so intense that he couldn't help but scream.

Joaquin's reaction was much more agile than his, and at the moment of the collision, he rolled many times to defuse it. Although the arm was marked with blood, it was all skin wounds, and instead of almost fainting like Jones, he immediately lay on his stomach to find the enemy's location.

"On the right, there are enemies!" Joaquin growled.

Then I saw several figures appear in the grass, rushing towards them, and by the moonlight it was clear that they were not wearing armor, but were all black and lightly armoured.

Jones' eyes widened nervously, staring at a guy walking towards him with a long sword.

It took him almost all the strength to get up.

He tried hard to draw his long sword, but his arm was shaking, not because he was afraid, but because it hurt so much, he suspected that a fracture was possible.

"Bastard!"

He could already see the cold light of the opponent's long sword in the moonlight, but his hands still couldn't use his strength, and the long sword couldn't hold it steady.

"Maybe I'm going to die!" he thought of this fact for no reason.

Under the intense tension, the flow of blood suddenly began to increase.

The temperature of his body under the armor also began to rise, and the miraculous thing was that there was no pain at this time, and he only felt the blood flowing violently throughout his body, as if full of anger.

"!"

He forgot all about what Joaquin had taught him to be "as fast as a deer, as quiet as a shadow", and swung his long sword at the rushing man from top to bottom.

"Ding!"

He felt the other man block, but it was a brief moment, and then he felt the dull sensation of the sword slashing at a hard object.

Without the slightest stop, his hands continued to exert force.

Finally, there was no resistance, and the sword pierced under the opponent's body, and only then did he hear the opponent's screams.

He split the man in front of him in half, starting at his shoulder.

This is also a scene that he only saw clearly after calming down a little.

As a law-abiding young man who has just crossed over, it stands to reason that he should be scared and disgusted at this time, but in fact, what he feels now is extremely excited.

"Am I a pervert?"

It's just that it's too late to think about it, and there's an enemy on its heels.

He subconsciously grasped the long sword with both hands and slashed it from the bottom to the top.

This time it felt softer, because after he missed the opponent's "not much power" block, the long sword slashed diagonally through the enemy's stomach, and then cut it in half, and the opponent didn't even let out a scream.

At this time, Joaquin had already eliminated the three enemies surrounding him, and when he turned his head, he saw a two-meter-tall all-metal armor, wielding a long sword that cut a person in half almost without hindrance, which made him instantly think of the death knight that the bard said, and shivered inexplicably.

Then I saw that the other party suddenly stood unsteady and fell to the ground, which pulled him back to reality.

Then he carefully observed his surroundings and made sure that there were no more enemies.

"This group of people is too careless, thinking that we will not have the slightest strength to fight back after a heavy fall, so there is no backhand rushing out, hum!"

......

Jones's "furious" feeling had disappeared at this time, and his body temperature had returned to normal, followed by a sharp pain that made him unable to stand, and his body seemed to be being rubbed in the hands of a giant, and it was like being pinched by a giant.

"We've got to get out of here, the smell of blood will attract the enemy. Joaquin walked up and helped him up.

"Can you find the carriage and put me on it?" asked Jones, who was weighing almost his whole body on Joaquin.

"Your Excellency, you obviously have a good idea. And even more unfortunately, we don't even have horses. ”

Walking past the few people that Joaquin had killed, Jones could see that all the fallen people had a bewitching bloody opening in their throats, and even the size was almost the same.

"Joaquin, I feel ashamed of your teachings. He said ashamedly.

"Indeed, there is no beauty in your fight. Joaquin replied in a gruff voice, Jones was too heavy, "But you have also managed to be as strong as a bear, as fierce as a wolf, and although it is not beautiful, it must be said that it is quite useful." ”

This was the first time Joaquin had seriously praised him, having previously said that he was a rude farmer.

And the "rage" just now has to be explored and explored, it feels a bit like the legendary berserker, Jones thought to himself.

"Thank you for the compliment, but perhaps the most important thing for us now is to see who they really are. Jones braced himself with his longsword and let Joaquin begin to rummage through the body.

"They're scouts," Joe Kim said, flipping through them, "and experience has taught me that you don't expect to find identity information on these people. ”

Sure enough, after searching for a long time, I didn't find any letters or logos.

"No, I think I already know who they are. Jones touched the crossbow he had just handed over and said, "With such fine and brand-new crossbows, combined with where we are now, they should be from the richest Lannister family in the Seven Kingdoms." ”

"We're near Harrenhal right now, and it's impossible for the Golden Lion Lannisters not to pay attention to this strategic location if they have other plans, isn't it?"

"These people are supposed to be Scouts of the Lannisters. Jones finally concluded.

"Then why did they kill us as soon as they saw us, without even talking?" asked Joakin, a little puzzled.

"They are so arrogant, they only know that we are not from the Lannisters, but they are still on their way north at night, so they do not hesitate to attack. Maybe they meant to capture us alive, but it doesn't matter anymore. Jones said, looking at the dead bodies on the ground.

"The nobles of Ha An are going to be in trouble, compared to the golden lions, they can only be counted as domestic animals, and unfortunately, the lions have begun to reach out. Jones said thoughtfully.

"Then what should we do now?" Joaquin asked anxiously, the strength of the Lannister family, he had heard about it when he was on the other side of the continent.

"Don't worry too much, we just need to cross the Trident River and hide in the Bright Moon Mountains in the direction of Arryn Valley, and the Lannisters will not want to chase us again, and by the way, I can recuperate from my injuries. Jones thought for a while and said, he was not completely deserted in the school city, at least the geography and the sphere of influence of each family were clearly remembered.

In terms of north-south location, Cayrock City, where the Lannisters, the first family of the Seven Kingdoms, is located, is very close to King's Landing, with the difference that Cayrock is on the west side of Westeros, while King's Landing is on the east side of the continent.

The Lannister family is also the supreme ruling family of the West, and the head of the family, Tywin Lannister, is also the Duke of Castle Rock, the shield of Lannisport and the guardian of the West, and his daughter is the queen, so the comprehensive strength of the Lannister family even surpasses the family of King Robert Baratheon, the first family of the seven kingdoms.

By the time they arrived in the Riverlands, it was reasonable to have escaped from the Lannisters' rule, and they could breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the scattered nobles of the river could not resist the infiltration of the Lannister family at all, so in order to avoid the possible follow-up of the future, he had to leave the King's Road and turn to the Bright Moon Mountains.

"Maybe we can take a boat and go by water. Joaquin added.

"Then we have to go out of Crab Bay, and then go around the Five Fingers Peninsula and enter Bite Bay, and we crawled back for so long. Jones shook his head and said, "And someone has given me a task." ”

He thought of the thin little girl in King's Landing, and he couldn't rest assured, but fortunately he didn't take the risk of taking her with him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to guarantee her safety in the middle of the tear just now.

"Let's go!"
