"North! Stranger, maybe I should go over and check it myself......" Warrent muttered to himself, frowning, staring at the note in his hand.

Like Zhang Cheng, he is also an extremely insecure person.

The only difference between the two is that when Zhang Cheng feels threatened, he will fall into a mental state mixed with reason and madness, but Warrent only thinks about escaping danger and finding a safe place to hide.

After all, his ability to predict what may happen in the future is from the messy debris, and it is the nature of most human beings to avoid evil and seek good fortune, so escape has become an inevitable choice.

You must know that although many chicken soup for the soul repeatedly emphasizes that when facing difficulties, you must rise to the occasion, otherwise once you escape, you are doomed to do nothing for the rest of your life.

But in fact, throughout the history of mankind, there are very few strong people who dare to face difficulties and dangers, and most people have subconsciously chosen to escape.

But Zhang Cheng is the opposite, he hates fatalism, never thinks that the future is fixed, and is not even willing to learn any prophetic magic, firmly believing that his power can change the future.

The differences in personality and way of thinking between the two have caused them to act in completely different ways.

Just as Warrent hired a carriage and left King's Landing to press the King's Road all the way north, intending to visit the Wall of Desperation and inquire about the strangers by the way, the city of Castle Rock finally ushered in the prelude to destruction.

......

Early in the morning, hundreds of catapults threw jars of jars full of wildfire containers into the city in a parabolic fashion.

In the blink of an eye, a large green flame rose into the sky and spread rapidly among the wooden houses, and in just ten minutes or so, half of the city was plunged into a sea of fire, and the screams and desperate cries were endless.

You don't need to ask to know that these dangerous things are all found in King's Landing.

They were originally terrifying weapons commissioned by alchemists to secretly research after the Targaryen family lost its dragon, and it was used to deter those great nobles with bad intentions, and today it finally came in handy.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

"Archers!

......

With the hoarse shouts of the noble officers, about six thousand infantry began to approach the eastern city wall, which had been melted by the dragon flames.

In front of them, less than three and a half thousand soldiers, armed with shields and spears, were stationed in place with the intention of putting up a final resistance with their flesh and blood.

No surprises!

After a short baptism of arrows, the soldiers on both sides immediately entered a tragic hand-to-hand encounter.

As we all know, hand-to-hand combat is a very physically exhausting anaerobic exercise, and even after a long period of exercise, it can't last long.

Generally speaking, well-established armies usually adopt a rotation system, that is, the veterans of the first platoon fight for a period of time, and then retreat to be topped by the soldiers in the back in order to get a short rest and recovery time.

Depending on ethnicity and degree of training, this time varies from three to five minutes.

This means that the maximum amount of time a person can fight the enemy with a weapon in hand is five minutes, and after five minutes, he will immediately fall into a state of fatigue.

What one-on-one duel to fight for one hundred and eighty rounds is a story of deception.

A true master can often decide life and death in an instant, and there is no gorgeous tricks, skills and actions to be seen.

However, it is a pity that the army of Westeros is still in a backward state full of ignorance and chaos, most of the soldiers are either the private army of the nobles, or the mercenaries hired temporarily.

With a numerical advantage, Daenerys' army quickly disrupted the enemy's formation, slicing them around and annihilating them bit by bit.

By the time the death toll on both sides reached about 1,000, the Lannister-loyal soldiers finally collapsed, dropped their weapons and turned around and ran, even though there were green wildfires everywhere behind them.

Seeing that the rout was a foregone conclusion, the remaining soldiers immediately rushed in like a swarm of bees, killing every enemy who had fallen behind, and at the same time kicking open the houses with impunity, some looting property and some raping women. I

Looking at the hellish scene ahead, Oberon took a deep breath and sighed, "They're finished! After today, Cayrock and Lannister will be history." But I have a question, what are you going to do with the West, knowing that without a strong family in charge, this land will be filled with chaos, carnage, and death. ”

"Don't worry, I'm going to promote at least fifty knights, four barons, and two viscounts from among those soldiers who have done their best. These guys who have been promoted from the bottom of society are naturally loyal allies of the royal power, and they will keep an eye on the western frontier for Her Majesty, and whoever dares to make trouble will be ruthlessly destroyed and killed. Zhang Cheng replied nonchalantly.

Although he understood that promoting commoners from the bottom to become nobles meant greed and corruption.

But the history of the earth has proven many times that the only way to overthrow the monopoly of the aristocracy is to promote the commoners and suppress and tear apart this huge interest group from within.

"Wow! I'll admit that even though a lot of people used to call me crazy, I'm obviously not completely crazy enough compared to you. Fifty knights, four barons, and two viscounts were promoted from among the commoners at once, and I can assure you that this would provoke numerous protests and opposition. Oberon raised an eyebrow, his tone full of schadenfreude.

What is Aristocrat?

With a noble pedigree!

To put it bluntly, it is to spell the ancestors.

Your father, your grandfather, your grandfather's father, and your grandfather's grandfather must have a noble title for at least five generations, otherwise they will be rejected by all the nobles.

The most typical example is the "Onion Knight" Davos Seaworth.

Although he won Stannis's trust, the old nobles never really recognized him, and even ridiculed him again and again for his humble origins.

"Protest, opposition?" Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful sneer. "Do you think I'll care about that? No, my dear Oberon, I'll prove by action that the resistance of the so-called aristocracy is as powerless as that of a teenage girl against a strong scoundrel. ”

After that, Zhang Cheng turned his gaze to Daenerys, who was frowning not far away.

The queen was clearly not accustomed to the brutality of the massacre, and opened her mouth several times to order a halt to the massacre of civilians and looting, but unfortunately the current chaos caused her to lose control of the army, and even the noble officers in charge of the command could not be found.
