The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

The capital of Dorne-Yangji City.

A avenue is divided into three roads a few miles from the city, one to the south, one to the west, and one to the north.

Earl Elion, Namelia, Tereni, and Edric Dane walked in the forefront. The closer to Sunji City, the flatter and wider the road.

Thirty aggressive guards followed behind them.

In front, the avenue is divided into two, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Count, take the right to Sunji City, and the left to the Flowing Garden." Namelia said to Earl Elion. In the procession, the flag of the Elion family of God's Grace was flying.

"Flowing Water Garden is said to be a very nice place." Earl Elion said.

Earl Elion is the lord of God's Grace City, how can he be unfamiliar with Flowing Water Garden?

The real Elion has been killed by Will. The fake Elion is naturally disguised, and he is Will himself.

In Braavos, the price of moving a faceless man is astonishingly high; and the same assassin in the Holy Tribunal in the north does not serve the **** of a thousand faces, but the military operations of Will.

The pure assassin is essentially different from the assassin of the Holy Tribunal. One is to take money to do things without any political standpoint; the other is a special part of the military group, which has the purest political nature.

Will brought more than 20 assassins and a few generals from his own Tribunal, disguised as the Earl of Elion's team, and let this team come to Yangji City from the dead to resurrect.

Namelia was dressed up by Gonisa. Her accent and skin color were all right. When she hung her whip, put on her clothes, and put on her fake face, she was a lively Namelia. .

Terenei was dressed up by Arya, with two daggers hung around her waist, and there was no flaw between them.

Edric's pretender is Will's confidant Pence.

Jonissa and Pence are familiar with everything about Sunji City, and Will needs them to accompany them. As for Mrs. Laura, the injury has not healed, and she has not come together. When Will was killing Elion, he asked Mrs. Laura to come to Yangji City, but it was just an excuse to see Mrs.'s reaction.

Coming to Yangji City was a very fierce battle. Mrs. Laura had injuries on her body and was too old. Will was unwilling to come with Mrs. Laura. When the time came, Mrs. Laura might still need someone to take care of her.

Earl Elion led the team slowly forward.

"After we take the Sunji City, we will go to the Flowing Water Garden to have a look." Earl Elion said.

Not far behind him is an ordinary guard dressed as James.

Moving forward, the blue sea is boundless, and there are little sailing boats on the sea, and there is no trace of the coming war and blood.

Thirty miles away is the famous Yangji City.

If the horse is marching in a hurry, it will only take half an hour.

But the group walked slowly, speaking softly, enjoying the sunshine of Donne.

On both sides of the road, there are more and more farmhouses, all walls made of tan mud, and all straw roofs. This construction has one advantage: warm in winter and cool in summer.

Dorn’s farmhouses are basically such houses. Inside the brown mud wall, there are stalks of straw chopped into small sections. This is to prevent cracking of the mud wall and enhance the toughness of the wall.

There were more pedestrians on the road, and soldiers began to ride on the road from time to time.

The earl and Namelia were aloft, pedestrians and soldiers avoiding the side of the road.

Earl Elion no longer asks Namelia about all the conditions of Sunji City. He has seen these conditions before coming to Dorn and has been familiar with them. Now they have verified them one by one. When there is a discrepancy, he also pays attention to lowering the situation. Voice, speak softly with Namelia.

Half an hour later, a seemingly chaotic city appeared in front of you, low houses without any rules, people coming and going, adobe shops and windowless huts are densely packed, as if one by one is located in the hills. The small boxes on the terrain overlap each other.

Count Elion's team entered these chaotic rows of houses and proceeded along a main avenue. The road is getting narrower and narrower, but there are more and more people. There are often large white geese, goats, ducks and other livestock blocking the road, and then the owner is very nervous to drive into the alley, fearing that the Earl and Nameli will be offended Ya angry.

Going along the road, a winding city wall appeared in front of it. The road of the main road followed the city wall and twisted along the city wall, disappearing behind many houses.

The city wall was built according to the high and low terrain, twists and turns, I don't know where its head starts, or where its tail ends. Countless shops, stables, inns, taverns, brothels, blacksmith shops, etc. are attached to the city wall and wind up and down, without seeing the end at a glance.

"Count, let's go through the triple door." Namelia said in the noisy voice.

"There are still two such walls, which are connected end to end, and there are many forks in the middle. People who are unfamiliar cannot find their way out as soon as they enter. I'm right!" said Earl Elion.

"People who are familiar with it are also easy to get lost. Every year, curved walls will add support walls. Some are dead ends, some are constantly branching off and winding around, making you walk back and forth again. Maybe only In the sky, or if you ask local people to be your guides, only people from outside can know how to take these roads."

The three main walls of the curved wall are called the shadow wall. This city is also named the shadow city because of the shadow wall.

Shadow City is the only way to enter Yangji City. The height of the shadow wall is not much shorter than that of the real city wall, and siege equipment must be installed to climb it. There are three walls like this kind of city surrounding the entire Yangji City. These three main walls have derived many branch walls, some of them work, some of them can’t.

You can only retreat if you can't get through, and if you get through, you will find that you are back to the starting point in the end.

There have been many famous wars in the Shadow City. Every time an enemy enters the Shadow City, there is no one who can survive. Historically, the Dragon King's army also suffered a disastrous defeat here. Later, the Dragon King set fire to many places and many cities. In order to separate the relationship between the Martell family and the other families of Donne, the Dragon King once set a horse here to show that the Dragon King and the Martell family have a different relationship. The strategy finally failed.

If you want to successfully pass through the Shadow City and enter the Yangji City, there is a shortcut: the triple gate.

The triple gates are guarded by heavy soldiers. As the name suggests, they directly open the three closest doors on the three main walls. Through these three gates, you can easily and quickly pass through the Shadow City and arrive at the walls of Yangji City. under.

Yangji City is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the only land surface is the west, and the barrier on the west is a maze-like shadow city. Honestly walking along the curved wall of the Shadow City, Mingming Yangji City is not far away, but it takes more than ten miles to reach the wall of Yangji City. If it is a triple gate, it is only two miles away.

The triple doors are not three doors opened in a straight line, but three doors opened in staggered positions. After each door, you have to walk a short curved wall. There will be several forks in the middle. People who are unfamiliar with it will go around if they take the wrong fork and have to enter through the first gate again.

Under the careful leadership of the two siblings of Namelia (Jonessa) and Adric (Pence), Earl Elion and his party finally passed through the heavily defended triple gate without any risk, and arrived. Under the city of Yangji.

The guards immediately opened the gate and greeted Count Arion and his party in. The eldest sister Obaya Shad came to greet her on horseback.

"Earl Elion, did Will give you Roger Elion's body?" Obaya asked.

"No!" Earl Elion was obviously in a bad mood and his face was not pretty. His tone was cold.

"Don't worry, this time Will came to negotiate and discipline him. If it weren't for arresting him and bargaining with Shireen, I will let you kill him for revenge."

"You can't kill him, just cut off one of his hands or legs." Earl Elion said bitterly.

"This is easy." Obaya said.

Obaya led the group forward, and Namelia said: "Sister, the uncle's reconciliation is false, is it true to trap Will?"

"The uncle's reconciliation is true, but we are different from him. Father and the elder sister have reached an agreement, and the soldiers in the triple gate have been replaced by the elder sister's guards. My father wants us to be prepared and not let Will's people escape. Drop one."

Edric said worriedly: "Oubaya, Will’s savages have arrived in King’s Tomb City and Elenwood City, and there are also giants who are coming with the army. They are more than ten feet tall and the height of the city gate. We If we catch Will, I am afraid the wild people will not stop. The royal power is not very binding on the wild people."

"Whether it is the royal army, the noble army, the night watchman, or the savages, they all listen to Will." Obaya said, "In King's Landing, there are many friends of the uncle. They and the uncle have always maintained a secret communication. As long as you fall into our hands, no matter how many savages come, they will be constrained by us. - because they don't listen to the king's orders, but they will listen to Will!"

"Oh, then I can rest assured."

"Edric, you will be responsible for guarding the restaurant door by then."

Earl Elion said: "Shall we do it in the restaurant?"

"Satisfied with wine and food, and then ask Lord Will to accept our negotiation, but our negotiation and conditions are somewhat different, so we will not violate the rights of the sacred guest." Obaya laughed.

"Good arrangement. Will be put under house arrest and let him negotiate according to our method, but the negotiation method is a little different." Earl Elion laughed.

Everyone passed through most of the city and came to the front of a large military camp with flags of various colors. There was an avenue in the middle of the camp, leading directly to the Old Palace.

Yangji City is divided into two parts: the new city and the old palace.

Edric saw the banner of his family. He wanted to leave the team to see his family guards and soldiers, but was drunk by Obaya: "Edric, my father called the crowd in the throne room of the Tower of the Sun. There will be a meeting and you have to come too."

"Yes, Obaya." Edric said respectfully.

Count Elion said: "General Obaya, can my guards follow me into the old palace? I hope they can be used. Will kills my son and cuts my family inheritance. This hatred is not shared. Ai Leon and the family guards are willing to obey the orders of Prince Oberon."

Obaya said: "Count, you and your guards will follow me into the old palace. The uncle's guard captain Alio Hota is a tricky figure, and he can't be transferred away when he does it. His guard needs someone. Stop them. Father thinks you and yours are more suitable."

"Leave this to me." Earl Elion showed a stern face.

Killing Prince Daolang's guards and captains would be a capital offense if they didn't do well. At present, no nobleman is willing to take the initiative to take on this task. Obaya came to greet the Earl of Earl, which meant it. For those who have blood feuds with Will, the Manwood family has been annihilated, the Elenwood family has been annihilated, and the youngest daughter is left to be Will's adopted daughter. There is no hope. Then, there was only one most suitable candidate who dared to take risks: Earl Elion.

The castles of other families were destroyed by the Savage King Mans Reid, and the family members who had been taken away were still alive. Although the city of Starfall was destroyed, Earl Edric and his family members in the city were still there, but were given by Will. Only the Earl of Arion, the only eldest son and heir, Roger Arion, was brutally beheaded by Will. The capital of the corpse refused to bring the earl of Arion back to the family crypt for burial.

When it comes to the eagerness and bitter hatred of revenge, Earl Elion is the first choice.

Obaya said: "Earl Elion, my sisters and I have both won for this great contribution to the uncle’s captain and guards, but my father just refused to agree. He chose you and waited for the meeting. Father will make a request to you."

"Thank you, General Obaya, for telling me in advance, I am very grateful."

Entering the Old Palace, on both sides of the road are tall guards wearing large yellow-brown robes and headscarves of the same color. Their skins are very dark, and their weapons are heavy axes, standing on the ground.

Earl Elion saw that this kind of battle axe looked frightening, but the actual combat was not practical. The first is that the handle of the axe is too long, and you need to ride on a horse to fight, but in the palace, you can fight on foot; the second is that the axe is too heavy and flexible and changeable is impossible. With these two points, slow speed is inevitable.

And the guards of Count Arion, pay attention to a quick word.

This kind of battle axe, the sense of ritual is more important than practicality. In the palace, a sense of ritual is very important in order to express might.

Count Elion whispered, "Are these guards belonged to Prince Daolang?"

"Yes, the fathers of this group of people do not intend to replace them, for fear of attracting uncle's attention and vigilance."

"We are in a public meeting in the Throne Hall in the Tower of the Sun, are you afraid of being known by Prince Daolang?"

"It was the meeting that the uncle asked my father to convene. It's just the content of the meeting. In the end, it didn't proceed as the uncle wanted."

"Prince Daolang himself is not involved?"

"His leg was very painful at noon, and it was red and swollen. He couldn't insist on sitting in the meeting for a long time. As soon as the father and sister Arianne came back, the uncle left the matter to his father."

"Where is his captain of the guard? Not participating?"

"Ario Hota and my uncle can't leave each other? The uncle needs to be hugged and hugged by Hota to get out of bed, just like a big baby." Obaya smiled and looked contemptuous.
