Two days later, the team came to the edge of the Crab Claw Peninsula.

Jenny said, "Lord Duke, can you hand over the military power to me temporarily?" ”

Magic Mountain on horseback: "All right, ma'am. Dear generals, guards, soldiers, from now on, the military power is handed over to Madame Jeanne, and her orders are my orders, and I ask you to strictly obey the military orders. ”

The generals and soldiers agreed: "Ho!"

Jenny stood in the carriage, grabbed the handrail, and said to the little maid beside her, "Take it out!"

So, the little maid took out a cloth bag from the carriage, opened it, and took out two flags from it.

One is the famous Three Dragons Banner of the Targaryen Dynasty: a dragon with three heads is the family coat of arms of the Targaryen family, and it is also the military flag of the Royalist Army.

On the other is Robert Baratheon's Crown Stag Banner, which is different from Joffrey's current banner that is half Crown Stag and half Golden Lion.

"Blackstone, replace these two flags. Jenny said.

Hailing from the Cregan Territory, Blackstone is a former miner who has been the standard-bearer of the Magic Mountain since joining the army, and his wife, Alec, is the head chef of Earl Odd's noodle shop on Silk Street.

Flag bearer Blackstone ordered the flag bearers to lower their flags, the first of which was King Joffrey's royal flag: half crown buck and half golden lion. The people here know the Crown Stag, but they don't know the Golden Lion, and they have always had a good opinion of King Robert, and only recognize Robert as the king.

The Magic Mountain and the others were equally surprised, when did Jenny prepare the new flag? The Magic Mountain and the generals didn't know either.

As soon as the Magic Mountain looked at the banner that Jenny had taken out, he understood the truth: once Stannis's banner had made a fatal mistake: it had a huge impact on the people, tens of thousands of soldiers in his own army, and some important generals.

Even Sir Davos, the onion who was the most loyal to Stannis, was firmly opposed, not to mention the other generals, and the impact on the morale of the army was immeasurable.

Throughout King's Landing, before Stannis came to attack, there were already many rumors about his military banner, including the feared Red God Wizard who sacrificed people to the living, the hundreds of thousands of people in King's Landing, all the soldiers, only familiar with and accepted the Crown Stag, and it was not a small Crown Buck surrounded by flames.

Joffrey's new flag was replaced with the flag of Robert Baratheon, and the Prime Minister's golden lion flag was replaced by the Three Dragons of House Targaryen. Loyalty to the Targaryens has been a tradition for 300 years, and the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula are proud to claim to be dragon warriors.

The Magic Mountain understands that once Daenerys Targaryen on the other side of the Narrow Sea leads the army back, it only takes one person to come with the Queen's summons, and the people here will rise up and follow the Queen Targaryen to fight.

There are many forces like this that are dormant in this land.

The flag-bearers marched forward with three banners: the Crown Stag, which is now the royal power that the Crab Claw Peninsula is willing to accept, the Targaryens, who have been loyal to the traditional royal power of the Peninsula for 300 years, and the Three Dogs, the banner of the Magic Mountain Legion.

Magic Mountain suddenly felt that the dog looked so dazzling next to the dragon and the deer.

The three-dog family crest was designed by the bachelor of the Duke of Tywin's family for the Clegane family, and the grandfather of the Magic Mountain was the dog trainer of the Lannister family, who once relied on three hunting dogs and himself to drive away a lion and save Duke Tywin's father, so the lord gave the dog trainer a knight and formulated the three-dog family crest for him.

It's the kind of dog that thinks of the Cleganes as the Lannisters forever, and in fact Duke Tywin and his father do so, and do so. Including Cersei and Joffrey, they all thought that the Cleganes were their dogs in the deepest part of their bones.

"Take down the Three Dogs Flag. "I'm now the Duke of Dragonstone, no longer the Earl of Fort Clegane, we'll never use the Three Dogs crest again, and the days when the Cleganes were dogs of the Lannisters are over." ”

The soldiers looked at each other.

In their hearts, the Three Dogs Flag reigns supreme.

They are not as high and as far away as the Magic Mountain thinks.

But Jenny immediately understood the Magic Mountain's intentions, and she applauded and said: "Okay, congratulations, Lord Duke, as the Duke of Dragonstone, you are no longer the Clegon of the West, but the Clegane of Dragonstone, and you should have your own new family crest, a new banner belonging to the Duke of Clegane's family." ”

The generals understood that their lord was already a duke, the Duke of Dragonstone, and no longer the count of Fort Kregon. Their lords have the same status as Duke Tywin, Duke Stark, Duke Tyrrell, Duke Martell, Duke Arryn, and Duke Tully, and the status of the Clegane Army has also risen in a straight line.

Among the generals, Polivier, Angey, and Dunson all have the surname of Clegane, and the three hundred cavalry are the most elite heavy cavalry of the Cregan, one man and two horses.

Choke!

The magic mountain was unsheathed by ice, and the voice was like a huge thunder: "The Klegane army is invincible, and there must be an invincible military flag." ”

As soon as Jenny took charge of the military, she judged the situation and was smart and shrewd, and immediately raised her hand and shouted: "The Clegane army is invincible!"

This is a slogan that can easily ignite the spirit of war and blood.

Unmatched, it was the family motto of the Magic Mountain, snatched from the Charlotte family in the Silver Hall.

Angai, Polivier, Dunson, Brienne, Zeli, Erin, and Gradden drew their long swords together, and pointed their swords at the sky: "The Clegane Army, unmatched!"

The elite of the three hundred cavalry shouted together: "The Klegane army is invincible!"

Shouting slogans to congratulate the lord on his decision to change the flag is the highlight moment of the glory of the legion.

On the carriage, Jenny's little maid was infected, and she just wanted to draw her talisman dagger and follow these warriors to cut people and cut people.

It is also because of this decision of the Magic Mountain that this slogan of glory outside the Crab Claw Peninsula has since been the slogan of military training, battle, motivation, and loyalty of the Klegan Army is no longer Long Live the King, Long Live King's Landing, Long Live the Magic Mountain, Long Live Dragonstone Island, but: The Klegan Army is unbeatable.

The army entered the Crab Claw Peninsula, the road began to become difficult to walk, and the carriages began to jolt. However, the mountain roads and streams have little impact on the horses. War horses are not ordinary horses, they are all specially trained. Climbing mountains and crossing rivers far surpasses other ordinary horses.

There is a village in front of it, because of the blockage of pine trees, you can only see a corner, I don't know how big this village is.

The sound of whistles and shouts came from afar, as if the people of the village were preparing for battle, Dunson and Polliver pressed the hilt of their swords, Brienne and Zeli approached Jenny's carriage, and the magic mountain shouted, "Everyone be on guard!"

"Ho!" the generals and soldiers agreed in unison.

Jenny said, "No, everyone is on guard and don't show it. All of them, don't hold the hilt of your sword, don't stare at someone, it's a serious provocation. “

All the soldiers received the order, and their hands left the hilt of their swords.

"Our flag will allow us to enter the peninsula without any hassle and the people of the peninsula will not attack us, but one thing is that everyone should remember not to give anything to the children who come to beg, and it is very important to remember. ”

"Why?" Moshan asked.

"Don't ask why, you will encounter a lot of things along the way that you don't understand, don't ask why, just do what you say. ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Soldiers, don't give anything to the children who come to beg. "The Magic Mountain herald.

"Ho!" all the soldiers agreed in unison.

The sound of banging pots and pans, the sound of leather drums, shrill whistles, incomprehensible shouts, and the noise of footsteps sounded in the distance of the village.

"The team moved slowly, unhurriedly. Jenny exclaimed.

The soldiers then took control of their horses and slowed down.

"Blackstone is in charge of the flag officer, and the flag is closed in front of the road. Janine ordered.

"Yes, ma'am. ”

"Dunson, Angai!"

"Yes, ma'am. ”

"From now on, protect the flag on the left and right, and those who come to capture the flag will be killed!"

"Yes, ma'am. ”

Blackstone, Angay, and Dunson followed around the six standard-bearers. Two flags, six flag bearers, four of whom are protecting the flag bearer, also take turns holding the flag.

At the entrance of the village in the distance, a lot of people suddenly appeared, including men and women, old and young, and many people could be seen pointing at the flag. In the pine forests on both sides of the road, there were figures making a detour to the back of the group. On both sides of the line, there are faint figures.

It looks like a large village hidden in a pine forest in front of it.

On the Crab Claw Peninsula, some tribes are just a village.

The procession moved slowly, the soldiers pulling their saddles in their hands, and not one of them pressing the hilt of their swords.

In front, two large flags are flying hunting.

On both sides of the road, at a distance of several swords, people appeared, each with a weapon in his hand, scimitars, swords, spears and spears, clubs, axes, bows and arrows, rattan shields, iron hooks, and people's gloomy eyes stared at the flag, and the weapons in their hands were laid down.

The flag worked.

Moshan noticed that almost all of them were barefoot, coarse cloth clothes, men with open chests and backs, women with bare arms, and many of them had patterns on their bare skin, dark muscles, and their eyes were full of hostility.

There are also many children, and each child's eyes are filled with wildness, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they have weapons in their hands, either short bows or swords, and many of them are iron hooks with wooden handles, just like fish hooks, which also have barbs.

The children stared at the outsiders, and there was obvious murderous intent in their little eyes, like wild beasts staring at uninvited guests who broke into their territory.

Men, women, and children, all silent, stared at the team, deeply wary and hostile to it.

The magic mountain and the two flags became the focus of attention of the villagers.

Wherever the flag passed, the weapons in the hands of the villagers slowly put down, and people appeared from the trees, behind the stones, among the grass and vines, and behind the trees, and came out to the side of the road, staring at the foreign army.

The Demon Mountain and the generals were surprised, if it weren't for Janie, they would enter the Crab Claw Peninsula and there would be a fierce battle after passing through the first village. Although it didn't seem difficult to kill all these people, they didn't have sophisticated weapons, no armor, and the protective rattan shields looked vulnerable, but that wasn't the intention of coming here.

A little girl suddenly ran out, stopped in the middle of the road, and held out her hand to the black stone.

Although the child did not speak, everyone could tell that she was asking for something.

Jenny said that you can't give anything to a child who asks for something.

Blackstone is a sincere person, with a very simple personality, and he can't help but give food to girls. The little girl looked thin, with big black eyes, dry yellow hair, and dirty little outstretched hands.

Blackstone shook his head!

The flag-bearers had to stop, and the little girl stopped them and did not give way.

Another boy ran out and held out his hand to Angay.

Ange shook his head in the same way.

The boy stretched out one hand to Angai and put the other behind his back, and when he saw that Angai would not give him anything, the hand behind his back was raised, and a stone was smashed into Angai's face.

Angai reached out and grabbed the stone, shook his head at the boy, and put the stone in his arms.

Jenny had said beforehand that she should not throw the stones thrown by the child on the ground, this is not a provocation, but it may be seen as a contempt by the villagers.

The Magic Mountain and the congregation will not be able to understand this truth.

Jenny said: It was not the villagers who trespassed on other people's territory, it was the people of Klegane. The territory here is theirs, and everything belongs to them, and that is the basis of all the truth.

A woman suddenly pointed at Angai, and her language was fierce, but no one could understand what she was scolding. This is a local language, not a local that is difficult to understand.

The villagers' faces were also indignant, and a man joined in the accusations against Blackstone and Angay. Soon, more people showed contempt, contempt, and ridicule, and they spoke loudly, obviously very dissatisfied, but it seemed that there was some kind of rule that bound their hands and feet, scolding and scolding, and dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction, but no one came to grab it. The Magic Mountain was carefully guarded, and no one showed any intention of attacking.

The invective became more and more intense, but the magic mountain found that the people's hostility and murderous intent were getting lighter and lighter.

It's strange that they are obviously very dissatisfied and look down on these outsiders more and more, but the hostility and murder that are on the verge of breaking out have gradually disappeared without a trace.

The Magic Mountain and the soldiers all took a deep breath.

Janie was at ease and didn't say a word, everyone was here to spend it.

Eventually, the girl and boy got out of the way, and the procession passed slowly, and the villagers on both sides rang out taunting whistles and cheering 'oh oh oh', and many people may be cursing and getting out, but Moshan and the others couldn't understand it anyway.

A few small pebbles smashed over, hitting the helmets and armor of the warriors, clanging and bouncing off to the ground. There is no doubt that they are undoubtedly very disappointed and dissatisfied with this alien legion.

The soldiers remembered Lady Jane's orders, and no one returned fire.

The procession passed safely, and many women chased the carriage, grabbed sand and stones on the ground and threw them at the carriage, accompanied by gnashing of teeth, but the outsiders did not fight back, and they finally stopped the chase, their faces full of deep regret. Looking at the materials on the car, the eyes are full of greed.

After passing this village, the road ahead began to get higher, and there was a hillside in front of it, and after crossing the hillside, we walked a long way until lunchtime, and there was no longer a village.

Jane ordered everyone to rest and eat, and all the soldiers dismounted to rest and eat dry food.

Moshan picked Jenny down from the carriage: "Madam, what happened just now?"

"The children come and ask for something, and if you give it, it is deemed that they have the right to take at least half of our things, then we have fifty carts of things that must be left to them, and if you don't give it, it will be an insult to them. The people of the Crab Claw Peninsula only have a tradition of humiliating others, and will not allow others to humiliate them. ”

"We don't give them anything, so they're disappointed and upset? Especially the women. ”

"Yes, they think we are the most angry and bad outsiders, not at all arrogant, and the women are more greedy. ”

"Then why didn't they rob it?"

"Because we were their guests. ”

"Guest?"

"There are only two kinds of people who can enter the Crab Claw Peninsula, one is the enemy, who can basically open the way with a sword, and the other is the guest. The guests in their eyes are the passers-by in our eyes. ”

Magic Mountain sighed: "Why didn't Captain Archibald Warner tell me this?"

"This is the tradition of the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula, he works for you, you settle your commitments for him, and the men should each take their own responsibilities. “

"It looks like the two royal flags are our passports. ”

"Yes, the two royal flags are our passports to enter. ”

"What else are we going to encounter?"

"I read the transcript of your conversation with the Maester to Archibald Warner last night, and when we go to Warner Family Territory, we have to pass through four villages and a valley, and I think we may have to kill people next. ”

"Why?" said the Magic Mountain in surprise, "We have the King's Banner and are their guests. ”

"The guests here are the passers-by. Think about the first village we relied on?"

"Wang Qi!"

"Yes, Wang Qi. If my prediction is correct, by this time the next village has received the news that we have entered, and whether we are enemies or whether we can change from passers-by to more acceptable friends, the people of the peninsula have their own special way of judging. ”

"Through the King's Banner?"

"Yes, through the King's Banner. ”

"The Crab Claw Peninsula is so difficult to enter, why hasn't anyone in the Wenchen military generals in the king's territory admonished me?"

"Your military prowess is too high, and you have become the Duke of Dragonstone and the Lord of the Sea, and many in the throne hall are eager to see you suffer a crushing defeat. Jenny said lightly, "It's just a pity that this time, we're going to let those people down." ”

"We're going to keep disappointing them. Magic Mountain smiled.

Jealousy is one of human nature, far more than well-intentioned nature.

"No, when you keep disappointing those people, they will gradually change their opinion of you, they will start to choose to be close to us, and they will want to go with us. I think, I know that very well. ”

"So as long as we keep getting stronger and keep winning, everything will gradually change, including those who are envious, jealous and hateful, will begin to change, and will they want to go with us?"

"Yes! Tell Dunson and Angay to be ready, and if anyone in the next village comes to raise the flag, kill him in the fastest and most ruthless way. ”
