Chapter 0974 - Night Attack on the Tourmaline Brotherhood
"Okay, I promise you, but you'll need to do it yourself. The king said.
The king replied crisply, much to Will's surprise.
Could it be that his judgment was wrong, that this king was a real king? If it was false, he would not have answered so simply. Unless, he can see the hint of the true king.
But Will had been watching, and had not seen anyone beside the king or in the seat of the royal family.
It's a mystery.
Will couldn't observe it for the time being, and couldn't judge whether this king was true or not.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Zaro said, thanking the king for his promise.
"As for the dragon, Lord Zaro, how shall we raise it?" said the king.
"Your Majesty, Lady Xiuwen and Lord Will will remain in the palace until His Majesty's dragon breeder is taught. ”
"Oh, that's the best. So, Lady Xiuwen, can you make the dragon breathe flames? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Daenerys said. She stretched out her hand, and the little silver dragon flew into her arm, "Long Yan!" Daenerys pointed to a spear-wielding warrior beside her.
The little silver dragon flew out, opened its mouth and spewed out a silver flame, the flame burned the spear head, and soon, the spear head began to melt, and finally turned into a silver liquid dripping down.
The royal family was surprised and delighted, and the drowsy people all woke up, and their eyes widened.
"Mrs. Xiuwen, the pronunciation of 'Long Yan' just now is the language that ordered Xiaolong to breathe fire?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
"Can I give it a try?"
"His Majesty must pronounce it correctly, which is the lost Higher Valyrian language. ”
"I have a talent for learning languages everywhere. The king said.
"Well, please join the King in speaking with me: Long Yan!"
"Long Yan!" repeated His Majesty the King.
Sure enough, it was vivid, and even Daenerys's voice was imitated vividly.
Will's heart moved, the king's ability is very useful, he can wear a mask and pretend to be anyone. If you just listen to the voice, no one can tell if he is not.
If Will hadn't looked at the king, he would have thought that the two dragon sounds just now were made by Daenerys alone.
The king's talent for imitating language was something that Lord Zaro had not spoken of.
Daenerys exclaimed: "His Majesty's talent for language is really amazing, with His Majesty's talent, he can learn to control the language of the dragon in less than three days, but in order for the little silver dragon to recognize His Majesty, he must feed it himself and respect it." Dragons are highly intelligent creatures and also hold grudges, which His Majesty needs to be clear. ”
"Thank you Mrs. Xiuwen for the reminder. But I have a question for Madame, so please answer it truthfully. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Some time ago, when Mrs. Huwen and Lord Will, if I remember correctly, at that time Lord Will called himself Little Virtue, first appeared in the port trade market, in the beast market, Mrs. Xiuwen and Lord Will said that they were not sure if the two flying beasts were dragons, because dragons had never breathed fire. ”
Daenerys and Will glanced at each other, the people of the royal family are not all bastards, His Majesty already has a lot of information about them, from the first day they disembarked and entered the market, His Majesty knew the details of them.
It's just that those details are not really details, they are the details that Daenerys and Will themselves revealed, so they are not afraid of being known. As long as His Majesty doesn't know about Zaro and their plans.
Daenerys was unhurried: "Your Majesty, we are outsiders, and we dare not be known to anyone if we don't know our true situation, so that when we negotiate the price with the visitor, we can observe whether the other party is credible." ”
Will said: "Your Majesty, dragons are rare magical creatures, and it is not a good means of self-protection for us to say that they are dragons to those we don't know, and to have them breathe fire. We don't have a mercenary group to protect us, there are only twelve of us in total, and it's better to be cautious when you're new to Quells. ”
His Majesty the King nodded: "Madame and Your Excellency have a point, then, as far as I know, Madame and Your Excellency once came to play outside the square of the Thousand Palaces, and Master Zaro and Master Haiya Boli of the Immortal Temple both wanted to buy dragons from the two of them, and Madame Xiuwen and Master Will also promised in public to give Master Haiya a chance to bid. But now, before the two of them had a chance to bid for Master Haiya, they exchanged two dragons for one hundred and thirty large merchant ships of the Thirteen Giants, and suddenly became the boss of Quells's big caravan, but Master Haiya is not such a foolish person. ”
Will said, "Your Majesty, if Master Haiya is indeed going to trouble us, it is Lord Zaro's trouble. ”
Daenerys said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zaro has promised him to communicate with Master Haiya and keep us out of the way. This is also one of the agreements we made to sell the dragon to him. ”
"The Thirteen Giants have decided to go and explain to Master Haiya themselves?" the king asked Zaro.
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
"So, how is Lord Zaro going to explain to Haiya. He didn't even get a chance to bid, and this tone was not so easy for Haiya-sama to go on. ”
"Your Majesty, I will go and tell Hai Ya that I did not buy the dragon for myself, nor for the Thirteen Giants, but for His Majesty the King. If he wants to get the dragon, he should come and consult with His Majesty. Zaro said unhurriedly.
The king was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Alright, Zaro, you are worthy of the most shrewd businessman, well, I will send someone to the Immortal Temple, and invite Master Haiya to come to the palace, and I will explain to him." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me out of the siege. Zaro hurriedly thanked him.

The Tourmaline Brotherhood is martial, and almost all the spices of the Orient come from the merchant ships of the Tourmaline Brotherhood. They controlled the spice trade on the three continents of Westeros, Essos, and Thros, and were very profitable. The Brotherhood's palace was not located in Quells, and they built a separate town on the outskirts of the city, which was filled with Tourmaline Brotherhood families and slaves.
The Tourmaline Brotherhood Town is also a major attraction in Quells, with its elaborate waterfalls, streams, hills, woods, terraces, hotels, training grounds, barracks and wizards' towers, and seven palaces where the Brotherhood lives.
As soon as night falls, a tavern of the Tourmaline Brotherhood catches fire, and the fire quickly ignites, and the townspeople rush to put out the fire. The barracks, which were not far away, did not move. On the other side, there are the seven palaces of the Tourmaline Brotherhood, which are surrounded by small rivers, with small bridges and boats. The inside of the seven palaces is still brightly lit and people come and go, unaffected by the fire outside.
Then, there was a second fire, a third, and a fourth.
The fire spread and finally burned into a fire.
There was movement in the barracks, and four infantry units came out, four hundreds, and four hundred axes together to cut down the trees near the barracks and cut down a fire ring.
By the time the flames have come to this side, the fire ring has been completed.
The soldiers of the infantry battalion were defending the inner perimeter of the fire ring, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion did not move at all.
*
On the hills outside the town, Zaro led an army of thousands of thirteen giants, all camels in front of the cavalry, and spears in the rear.
Jaime rode on a camel and said, "The other party's camp is not chaotic at all, I am afraid that we will come to attack in advance." ”
Arya said, "What if you know? ”
Argo, Jogo, and LaCarlo followed behind Arya, the four of them had their own tactics, and they lazily waited for Zaro's order.
"Lord Will has said that there are members of the Tourmaline Brotherhood in the royal family, and he informed the Tourmaline Brotherhood that they are ready. He looked at Varys beside him, "Lord Varys, Brother Tourmaline is ready, shall we attack or leave?"
*
Chapter 0974 of 2 Attack!
"Attack!" Varys said, looking at Aquaman beside him, "What do you think, Doctor?"
"We are more numerous than the Tourmaline Brotherhood, and now we are afraid that the royal family has an army in ambush. When our side is finished, the royal army will come out and wipe us out. Aquaman said.
Aquaman's analysis made Zaro hesitate.
"Lord Zaro, the royal family wants to reap the benefits of the fish, so that we can both fight each other, but this is also a good opportunity for us to extinguish the tourmaline. Since Lord Will hasn't sent a message to stop the sneak attack, let's attack. Varys suggested. He chose to trust Will and Daenerys, who were in the palace and did not send a message asking for the raid to be canceled.
The Green Saintess and her two maids were also here, all three of whom were highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in the use of poison. This time, the three women were using spears with barbs on them. Because of her ability to speak, the Green Saintess is also the commander of a thousand-man cavalry. She and Jaime each command a cavalry corps.
Quells' army preferred to wear brightly colored clothing, and metal armor was largely absent. In hot places, soldiers rarely wear armor, and Quells is a port city, and soldiers mostly wear armor in naval battles, and soldiers in naval battles wear less armor. As long as a soldier in armor falls into the water, it will sink like a hammer.
Still hesitating, Arya suddenly whipped the camel under her crotch, and the camel rushed forward.
Largo, Jogo, and LaCarlo immediately followed, and Largo's keel bow was in his hand, and the quiver was full of the camel's body.
Four camels rushed down the hill in the night, with a loud noise, and leaped into the creek that surrounded the seven palaces.
The seven palaces are the residence of the Tourmaline Brotherhood, and the head is killed before the killing.
The creek that surrounds the seven palaces is not deep, and one of them is very shallow, so that there is a third way out in case of an accident for the tourmaline brothers.
That's the path Arya followed.
"Brothers, Lord Zaro has an order, attack!" Jaime yelled, drawing his sword.
So, the cavalry behind him followed Jaime and charged.
Their target is each other's barracks.
The soldiers of the barracks numbered three thousand, two thousand infantry, one thousand cavalry.
But the well-prepared Zaro brought five thousand men, two thousand of whom were mercenaries.
Three thousand infantry, two thousand cavalry.
Zaro was not afraid to fight the Tourmaline Brotherhood, and he listened to the doctor's analysis, fearing that the royal family had another army in ambush.
The spies infiltrated the tourmaline town and set fire to it, and the tourmaline barracks and palace did not react for any reason. Since there was no response, there was only one result: someone in the royal family secretly informed Tourmaline, and Tourmaline was ready for battle.
The cavalry rushed past Zaro's side.
Zaro remained motionless.
Two thousand horsemen rushed down the hill, one led by Jaime and the other by the Green Saintess.
"You go to Arya's aid. Jaime said to the Green Saint, "I'll leave it to me." ”
"Good!"
The Green Saint raised her spear and shouted, and the cavalry split into two, one attacking the barracks and the other jumping into the river.
The two handmaidens followed closely beside the Green Saint.
The depth of the river is no more than the shoulders of an adult, and the shallow part is only up to the calves of camels.
Arya had already rushed in front of the seven palaces and was about to jump out of the water and go ashore. Suddenly, with a bang, a net of water was erected on the wall of the water, and it slammed down on Arya, Jogo, and LaCarlo.
The other party was really prepared.
Arya, along with Jogo and Lacarlo, could not restrain the running camel and crashed into the net. Arya's long sword slashed, and the net cable was tough, only a small opening was made.
The scimitars of Jogo and La Carlo slashed at the net, and with a single swing, the man and the camel were caught in the net, and the three men and the camel fell into the water at the same time.
On the shore, several pikemen suddenly rushed out and stabbed at the three people in the water.
Woohoo!
A barrage of arrows hit the throats of the three pikemen. Three pikemen crashed backwards, taking a large number of people with them.
Jogo, who deliberately kept behind, restrained his mount, and the keel bow and arrow did not miss, knocking down the three pikemen one by one.
Lago Arrow, in the charge engagement, keeping a distance from the enemy is his tactic.
Arya and the others whipped the camel and jumped ashore to fight, it was a close combat, and Largo kept his distance, and when the camel reached the river, he slowed down, ready to shoot the sudden enemy.
Three people attack, one person supports, this is a mature set of tactics.
Three people in close combat, one person long-distance bow and arrow support, this is also a charging tactic that the four of them discussed in advance.
In the creek of the seven brightly lit palaces, Largo kept himself at a safe distance, and shot down seven pikemen in a row.
Arya, along with Jogo and Lacarlo, got up, cut through the net with their swords, and walked ashore on foot, where no one dared to stop the pikemen. They weren't afraid of the three Arya, but the archers in the river.
The arrows of the sharpshooters are all hit in the vital points of the pikemen, not in the throat, but in the eyes and chest.
Arya, Jogo, and LaCarlo rushed into the camp of the pikemen on the shore in a zigzag, and every now and then an arrow swept through their ears, knocking down the enemies around them.
Three infantry and one archer, quickly penetrated the enemy's pikemen defenses, and more pikemen poured in from both sides.
Suddenly, a shout erupted in the creek, and the Green Maiden led a cavalry that jumped into the river and rushed down the shallow water.
"Be careful, there's a water net!" Largo reminded the Green Saintess.
The Green Maiden's knife plunged into the camel's back thigh, and the camel lunged forward in a frenzy, pulling a sharp cone in the water. Look to get to the shore, the green saint jumped off the camel and fell into the water.
There was a loud bang, and sure enough, the water surface flew up again and caught the camels that rushed forward. The camel fell into the water, crushing a net, and the Green Saint jumped ashore on foot. Behind him, the cavalry charged like a tide, unstoppable.
