The Mountain of Ice and Fire

Big Cow was instantly dumbfounded.

He had intended to take a risk for wealth.

The gold-robed men were too arrogant; not only were they not amiable, but they pointed their longswords at him.

"Where is that girl?" one of the gold-robed men asked.

Another gold-robed man poked Big Cow's shoulder with the tip of his longsword, the blade piercing his skin: "Speak quickly!"

Big Cow was startled and quickly pointed with his hand: "That girl is in the Night's Watch recruits that you just interrogated. Her name is Arya."

"Lead the way!" the two gold-robed men shouted in unison.

Big Cow was apprehensive: "My lords, if I lead the way and it turns out that girl isn't the one you're looking for, my days in the Night's Watch will be very difficult. I can assist you secretly while you inquire."

"Enough nonsense, move!" one of the gold-robed men shouted sternly, "Do you want us to kill you right now?"

Snap!

Another gold-robed man raised his left hand and lashed his whip fiercely across Big Cow's face.

Big Cow couldn't dodge in time, and a bloody mark immediately appeared on his face, burning with pain.

Big Cow immediately regretted it.

If that Arya wasn't the noble girl the gold-robed men were looking for, he might be killed by these two gold-robed men. Even if these two officials let him go, Officer Euron would kill him.

But Big Cow had no choice!

Big Cow led the way, and the two gold-robed men sheathed their longswords.

Soon, Big Cow led the two gold-robed men to intercept Euron's group.

The black giant, Fang, and the amiable young man in the prison wagon all watched Big Cow and the two arrogant officials with interest. Euron jumped off the donkey and stepped forward, neither humble nor arrogant: "Why are you blocking the road, officers?"

"Who is Arya? Tell her to get out here!" one of the gold-robed men said.

The dozen or so Night's Watch recruits all looked surprised.

"Officer, Arya has gone to the woods to relieve himself," Euron said coldly. "He is a Night's Watch recruit I found in King's Landing. The Night's Watch is independent of all the kingdom's politics, and you have no right to question him."

"No right?" one of the gold-robed men lashed his whip fiercely at Euron's face. But he clearly didn't know how formidable these veterans of the Night's Watch were. Euron didn't dodge and grabbed the whip. The gold-robed man was furious and tried to snatch it away with force, but Euron held the whip firmly and didn't move. The soldier's face turned red, so he added his other hand, shouted loudly, and exerted force with both arms. Euron released his grip, and the soldier fell backward.

Bang!

The gold-robed man fell to the ground, his armor and scabbard making metallic scraping sounds, almost breaking his neck. He knocked his helmet askew, dirtied his golden cloak, and groaned on the ground, unable to get up.

The other gold-robed man was furious and drew his sword. Euron stepped forward, grabbed the officer's hand drawing the sword with one hand, like steel claws and iron hoops, preventing him from drawing the sword. At the same time, he drew his short knife with the other hand and held it against the gold-robed man's crotch.

"If you move again, I'll cut off your balls," Euron said coldly.

The gold-robed man froze instantly, his face very ugly.

He now knew how formidable the Night's Watch was. Even if the two of them attacked together, they were no match for him.

"Officer, can we leave now?" Euron said calmly.

The gold-robed man nodded stiffly, his face as if he had been punched hard!

Euron released his grip and sheathed his short knife. The gold-robed man had gained freedom and opportunity but had lost the courage to draw his sword again. The excellent veterans of the Northern Wall of Ice and Snow were not something that one or two pampered gold-robed soldiers could resist.

The gold-robed man on the ground finally got up. He didn't dare to say much, mounted his horse, and the two gold-robed men galloped towards King's Landing.

Euron said: "Everyone, hurry up. Turn right ahead, enter the small road to the east, and head towards the Gods Eye Lake."

They had just left the Crownlands and entered the edge of the Riverlands.

So, everyone drove the carts, rode the donkeys, and sped up.

Euron was about to enter the forest to find Arya when Arya slipped out of the bushes: "Uncle Euron, Big Cow betrayed me. He wanted to claim the reward."

"I know, hurry up," Euron said.

"Yes!"

Arya and Euron rode the donkeys and quickly chased after them.

"They will catch up in at most one more night," Euron said. "We need to find a defensible place."

Arya said: "If we win next time, they will send more people."

Euron was silent.

"Uncle Euron, let me go alone. I'll go to Riverrun; they would never expect that."

"No, Riverrun is at war. It's just as risky for you to go," Euron said. "We'll try to take the small roads and go east, hoping to deceive them."

"Uncle Euron, I want Needle back."

"Okay, I'll give it to you tonight!"

*

Night. The moonlight was like water. Outside a village that the villagers had fled from.

Euron walked up to Big Cow with a gloomy expression.

"Big Cow, what did you say to the two gold-robed soldiers today? And what happened to your face?"

Big Cow was speechless.

"Betraying brothers, fabricating stories, causing trouble, making us enemies with the gold-robed men. This way, none of us will be safe. If one of us commits a crime, the others will die. Haven't you heard of the gold-robed men's style of doing things?"

Big Cow was silent.

Big Cow had absolutely no good feelings towards the gold-robed men. He had suffered at their hands, and they were all humiliating in nature. But he really wanted to take a gamble. If Arya was that noble girl, his life would immediately take a turn for the better. He hoped to obtain a royal pardon, no longer be a member of the Night's Watch, and also get a large sum of money.

"Arya is my brother, and also your brother. In the Night's Watch, whoever betrays his brother will be punished."

"No, I was forced. Look at what they left on my face," Big Cow stammered, his voice full of panic. He sensed Euron's killing intent.

Euron drew his short knife, and Big Cow turned to flee. The short knife in Euron's hand flew out and plunged into Big Cow's back. But Big Cow ran even faster. Euron's face was grim. He drew his longsword, caught up in a few steps, and struck down with his sword. Big Cow's head flew up.

The ranger's longswords were of good quality and were sharpened very sharply.

In the middle of the night, everyone was sound asleep when Euron suddenly jumped up. He heard the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of mixed horses' hooves coming this way.

"Get up quickly, there's a situation," Euron shouted loudly. A dozen or so brothers were awakened, looking dazed, while Arya had already jumped up and quickly drew the Needle from her waist.

"If you don't want to die, get up quickly. There are all kinds of weapons in the ox cart in the yard. Quickly pick whatever you are used to. Everyone relies on the walls, pay attention to hiding yourselves, and attack when I give the order," Euron shouted, kicking a few of the frightened teenagers.

Sixteen brothers got up, and Hot Pie, whose injury had mostly healed, also got up and rushed to the yard to get weapons. Grenn took a longsword, but the longsword was too heavy, so he dropped it and took a short sword and a dagger.

"Everyone, find a place to ambush. Rush out when I give the order," Euron shouted. "Arya, Grenn, Hot Pie, you quickly go and hide in the bushes behind the village. Do not participate in the battle."

Grenn and Hot Pie immediately ran towards the back of the village and hid in the dark bushes. Arya ran to Euron's side, crouching under the wall, her eyes shining.

Euron grabbed Arya's clothes, his breathing rapid, gnashing his teeth, his face very terrifying. He lowered his voice: "Listen to me, you must survive and return to Winterfell. You are a Stark. Go hide and don't come out to fight."

Euron's voice was so stern and urgent that Arya couldn't disobey.

So Arya ran to the back of the village and hid in the deep weeds.

The sound of horses' hooves was chaotic, and torches were also lit. Outside the village, someone was giving orders: "Except for the little girl, kill them all."

"Hoo!" the soldiers agreed loudly.

The prison wagon was parked near the back door of the yard. The amiable young man in the prison wagon shouted to Euron: "My lord, open our prison wagon. The gold-robed men kill everyone they see. If my lord releases us, we can join the battle."

The black giant shook the prison wagon's iron bars violently: "Let us out, quickly let us out."

Fang grabbed the pig bone he used to grind his teeth, as if it were his weapon: "Let us out, old man. I can help you kill the gold-robed men." He waved the sharp bone in his hand.

Euron turned a deaf ear. He gripped his longsword and crouched behind the wall.

"Brothers, rush in and slaughter them all."

So, the sound of horses' hooves rang out violently. A cavalryman rushed in from the village entrance. Euron immediately leaped out from the shadows and slashed diagonally with his sword, severing the galloping horse's legs. The first warhorse neighed in alarm and crashed down. The second and third horses followed and crashed into it, men and horses falling on their backs.

Euron didn't stop moving, like a black ghost, his longsword flashing, killing the three soldiers who had fallen on the ground one by one. Before he could turn around, several horses surrounded him, five or six swords surrounding him. And more cavalry rushed in.

"Brothers, fight!" Euron shouted.

So, the Night's Watch newbies who were ambushing in various places shouted and bravely rushed out. They shouted very loudly and moved quickly, but several of them had fear in their eyes.

Nevertheless, none of these newbies retreated or ran away.

The two sides fought, cavalry against infantry, which was a one-sided massacre. Warhorses galloped, longswords slashed down, and one newbie after another fell.

"Cut the horses' legs!" a strong man with an axe shouted. He cut two horses' legs, and his axe smashed a gold-robed man to death. He felt extremely happy. Before the strong man could finish shouting, a horse rushed over, its front hooves raised, the horseshoe hitting him right in the face. He screamed and fell down, a sword slashing down, hitting him right in the head.

"Kill them all!" the leader at the village entrance chuckled.

After Euron斩ed another cavalryman, he took a sword to the back. As he dodged while rolling, he cut off a horse's leg. The soldier on the horse fell off and was pierced through the throat by Euron's sword.

"My lord, quickly let us out," the young man in the prison wagon shouted.

Euron raised his hand, and a string of keys flew towards the prison wagon. With a clang, the keys hit the iron bars, rebounded, and fell beside the prison wagon.

Puff!

A javelin was thrown in from the darkness at the village entrance, like a black lightning bolt, hitting Euron right in the back. Euron had just raised his sword to block a sword slashing down when the tip of the spear suddenly protruded from his chest. The huge force carried his body forward, the javelin passing through his body, nailing Euron to the ground, supporting his body, keeping him at a tilted angle, not falling.

Arya watched, her blood boiling. She jumped out with Needle in hand and rushed into the yard. Hot Pie and Grenn hesitated for a while, then both shouted at the same time and rushed out with weapons... Hot Pie hadn't even entered the yard when he heard Grenn shout. Turning back, Grenn was turning to run away...

Whoosh!

An arrow flew and hit Grenn right in the back!
