9 The blond knight outside Mole Village
For some reason, the northern border, which has always been cold, has become warmer.
The soil ground under my feet, which was originally frozen hard, dissolved and softened with the harsh sun above my head.
The fields on both sides are endless, and a muddy road ahead leads to a semi-underground town. Behind the town, what is visible to the naked eye is a towering and vast frozen "mountain".
"Uncle James, is that the Great Wall of Desperation?"
A tender voice came from beside him. When he turned around, the blond girl was looking at the great building that emitted dazzling light as the sunlight shone with curiosity.
Beside the girl, the chubby boy, who looked younger than her, was only seven or eight years old, rode on a pony, with a tight face and a serious vigilance around her, and her expression was like a little adult. Before coming, his grandfather had told him that the northern border was not peaceful at all.
More than a dozen fully armed knights followed in silence, and the leading blonde knight pursed his lips after the girl finished speaking, then smiled faintly: "Yes, there is the Great Wall."
"It doesn't look scary at all." The girl blinked when she heard this.
However, after this, the boy's rebuttal came from the other side: "The idiot Mycella, what scares is the savage outside the Great Wall, not the Great Wall."
"But my mother said there was a crow army on the Great Wall, and the crows were scary."
"Mom has never been to the Great Wall."
The boy said, lifting his chin and saying, "You should ask Uncle Tyrion, he said he had pissed on the Great Wall."
When the little boy said this, he looked admiring and yearning, but he didn't notice the knights behind him couldn't help laughing.
"I also want to ask Uncle Tyrion, but I haven't seen him for a long time..." The girl bit her lip.
"We'll see him soon."
The boy made a promise, and then looked at the blonde knight: "Right, Uncle James?"
The return to Kaiyan City seems to have slightly changed the personality of this originally gentle and shy boy, but unlike his perverted and rebellious brother, he is more likeable.
The blonde James nodded silently when he heard this.
His originally smooth chin was already covered with a short beard, making him look more mature and depressed.
There is no such rebellion and cynicism as the regicide that was once a regicide.
The family's experience hit him a big blow.
After the wildfire broke out in King's Landing, King Stannis of the Baratheon family and Duke Tywin of the Lannister family became the main targets of suspicion of the noble lords of Westeros, especially Stannis.
However, with the arrival of the Seven Gods oracle, this suspicion was completely cleared.
So the great lords of Westeros, whether they were really indignant or greedy for the gold mines of Kaiyan City. Under the call of Stannis, all the swords were pointed at the Lannister family in the west.
Although this targeted military move has been hindered by the climate change that lasted for more than half a month. As the world returns to normal, the nobles with sufficient reasons have no intention of giving up on their plans at all.
The Western Region is now in danger, and before others can actually come to the door, the lords are already a little confused.
Duke Tywin, who noticed that something was wrong, drove his eldest son and two "grandchildren" out and went to the distant north to join the duke's youngest son Tyrion Lannister.
The pain of being forced to separate from family and love hit James, which also caused him to be extremely silent at this moment.
"I hope the overseas allies my father said can be reliable."
As he silently muttered this sentence many times along the way, James Lannister subconsciously touched the hilt of the long sword tied around his waist.
It seems like a prayer, but it is not.
After all, who can he pray like?
The seven gods of faith have already turned to their own enemies and will not help them at all.
However, his younger brother Tyrion is inseparable from the Seven Gods Apostles...
This chaos made the blonde knight quite confused.
He didn't know what would happen after he defected to Tyrion on this trip. Although the other party made a lot of confidence in the letter, the letter was not short of time now. Westeros' information exchange was very inconvenient. In the north, they had no friends to help convey the message, and they dared not rush to the road with great fanfare...
Just as James was worried and worried about his group's future, the noise and noise that appeared not far away suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Looking up, a long caravan in the distance came into his eyes.
what happened?
The caravan was not far from their location. It seemed that the situation was in an internal strife and the fight was very fierce.
James, who suspected that there was a fraud, quickly raised his hand and signaled the knights behind him to be alert.
The sound of weapons being unsheathed came one after another. A scout riding a brown and black war horse stepped forward with caution without losing speed, wandered around the caravan for a while, and quickly came back to report.
"Sir, the caravans are besieging a mercenary."
When reporting, the scout looked a little strange: "The mercenaries were very powerful, and no one was left behind, and even killed the captain of the caravan."
"Bite to death?" James was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, his teeth are...that kind..." The scout's vocabulary was not high and he couldn't say it, so he changed the subject and said: "The mercenaries are very strong and are not afraid of weapon attacks."
Hearing this, James became interested. Although the mercenary seemed to be very powerful, he did not think that his group would be in danger because of a wild path. So after he waved his hand, the team quickly rushed towards the caravan in the distance.
...
The facts are no different from what the scout said.
The mercenaries dressed in brown leather armor and were besieged by caravan guards did seem quite brave and fearless.
Facing the arrows shot from around him and the long swords that stretched out, he not only did not dodge, but instead targeted a target and rushed forward to bite and scratch, his crazy expression was like a wild beast.
At the same time, if someone fights him at close range, no matter how big the enemy is, he can knock him to the ground with one punch or simply lift him off!
It is not clear how long the battle lasted, but the long convoy was already messy and distributed many dead bodies. Blood flowed and gathered, soaking the already muddy and sparse road under my feet into a black and red color.
The breeze blew by the fields on both sides, and the smell of blood filled the surroundings, making people subconsciously frown.
At this moment, there were only seven or eight people besieging the mercenaries. There seemed to be little left in the battle belief of these people. I guess if it weren't for the appearance of James and his group, they would have been ready to escape.
"King Master, please help us, he is a murderer!"
The arrival of the knights made the caravan leader, who was guarded by the guards, overjoyed. He hurriedly asked for help, but when he was halfway through, he couldn't help but tremble because of the grinning of the mercenary not far away.
Although this group of people was not their Lannister family's own entourage, James still responded to the caravan leader's request for help.
With a wave of his hand, a knight quickly rode his horse forward, and the continuous sound of horse hooves hitting the earth was endless. The knight swept across his sword, directly slapped the mercenary who was showing off his fierceness to the ground with one sword!
This obviously angered the other party, so the mercenaries got up and ignored the rest of the caravan and bent down with a ferocious look on their faces towards the armored knight who turned his horse's head not far away.
His speed was very fast. However, his enemies were different from those of the caravans who were more of guards than guards.
Not to mention long-term combat training, the hard armor on the knight's body is not something that can be broken by ordinary means.
The knight, who noticed that the enemy was strong and was not afraid of being injured, quickly made a countermeasure. He first grabbed the horse's belly and avoided the attack of the mercenaries. Then he waved his long sword and entangled the enemy with the tip of the weapon to prevent the opponent from getting tangled up. After a few rounds of confrontation, the war horse suddenly flew closer, and the sharp weapon in his hand swept another way, directly chopping off the strange man's head!
The arterial blood quickly splashed out under the pressure of the human body. The sprayed in the sun was like a fountain, and it quickly immersed in the armor and armor of the knight, but the knights who were used to killing on the battlefield did not care about this.
With his sword drawn into the sheath, the Knight looked back at the blonde James and signaled that the battle ended.
The battle was indeed over. Although he was not afraid of injury, the mercenary whose head was cut off obviously could not get up to fight again, even though his face was still ferocious.
Without mentioning the caravans' gratitude, James Lannister rushed to the battlefield and looked down at the broken head with sharp buck teeth, frowned in confusion.
He has great strength, fast speed, and is not afraid of injury. His appearance is obviously different from that of a normal person...
"What is this?"
He was very confused about this, but he didn't have time to think about it, and a sudden outburst came from behind him!
As the girl Mycella suddenly screamed, James' heart skipped a beat and he turned around suddenly.
However, the scene he saw was not what he imagined.
In the Knights team, beside the girl, the original location of the little boy Toman, there was a pool of clothes folded on the horse's back.
Under the horse, a short-legged dog with golden hair was rolling and struggling on the muddy surface, as if it had just fallen from the horse's back.
After standing firmly, the dirty little thing subconsciously shook his body. After stomping on the ground and turning around for a few times, it turned to look at James Lannister, and barked a few innocent eyes.
He looked at the dog blankly and then carefully glanced around him. The blonde knight couldn't help but open his mouth.
"this……"
