Chapter 603: The First Battle of Destiny (19)

With the bitter sea breeze blowing on the rugged rocks, leaving a roaring roar, Storm's Rest Castle has its back to the sea, and it will soon reach the island of Tass from Broken Ship Bay.

Daenerys sailed all the way from Essos, and it was clear where she would go, but she didn't know if she would end up on Dragonstone or Tars, but with the magic of Easy, the fleet not only sailed with the wind, but also hid from several coastal fortresses.

Otherwise, with less than 10,000 Unsullied, they would not be able to land under the Storm's Breath, and the defensive structures on the sea side of the castle would keep them in the air.

If Dragonstone is King's Landing's most important backyard, then Storm's End is the barrier to its hinterland, and if Storm's End falls into the hands of the enemy, the entire Royal Forest will be defenseless, and armies from the south and west can drive straight in.

King's Landing, as the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, is also a coastal city, but it is backed by an inner bay, Blackwater Bay, with Dragonstone Island in the background, and it is difficult to be attacked by water.

And the direction on the land, there are also not many options, the terrain near King's Landing is very flat, and it extends in all directions, except for the back of Blackwater Bay, all three directions can be left for attack, but there is Harrenhal and Rosby City in the north to garrison, and there is a natural Blackwater River in the west, or only the direction of Wind's Breath in the south, which is most likely to become a breakthrough.

But the south of King's Landing is the Royal Forest, in the Westeros continent, where there are many knights, the forest is not suitable for cavalry to play, so there are many fortresses such as Dragonstone Island and Storm's Rest to protect it.

Now, King's Landing is occupied by a group of werewolves led by Varys, and the nobles and families stationed in several nearby fortresses have not received news from King's Landing for a long time, and the spies they have released have been released. Often, there are those who go and don't return, and the few who come back by luck don't enter the city, and they wait and see from afar, and none of those who enter King's Landing come out again.

Play spy with Varys, the chief of the Seven Kingdoms' intelligence. These nobles are probably still a little tender, not to mention, werewolves have a natural sensitivity to humans, and the most basic disguise is easy to be recognized.

But the news about King's Landing is still more or less leaking, such as that it is no longer humans who occupy King's Landing, but a cruel monster, such as the death of all the families in King's Landing. Even the extremely powerful Lannisters were wiped out.

No matter what era of human beings, there is always a natural love for gossip, and these news spread out like a storm like a popular dessert.

The capital of the kingdom is overrun by evil and cruel monsters, the ghosts of the north who have disappeared for countless years once again break through the Great Wall, and the true dragon descendants of the Targaryen dynasty carry the true dragon back to the sea, which sounds like a fairy tale and legend to the ears of civilians and ordinary soldiers, and fallen knights. But it caused the major noble families to be ready to move, because they knew it. These are all true.

King's Landing had been silent for a long time, even the most fearless caravans had cut off contact, and several surrounding fortresses, including Harrenhal Twilight City, had no idea what was going on inside, and even if Harrenhal's garrison was still loyal to the Lannisters, he didn't dare to confirm that the rumors from the outside world must be false.

Then not to mention other families. It seems that the Eagle's Nest City has received some kind of news and has begun to concentrate on cultivation, that is, to prepare for the next big war, and the Riverflowing City in the Riverlands does not seem to be restless, and they will not go to King's Landing. But the fruit of the Lannisters is not soft at all.

Rumors are always fast, and not long after the end of King's Landing's Blood Night, the events here spread throughout the continent, and even Dorne in the southernmost part received a little news, after all, this is the capital of Westeros, and it has gathered countless important people.

And once it is determined that the Lannisters are completely defeated, I am afraid that all the Westeros families in the Iron Isles Valley, the Riverlands, etc., will be in chaos again, but unfortunately these people's eyes are always on the Iron Throne of King's Landing, and they never thought that in addition to humans, there are many creatures in this world that can threaten humans.

King's Landing has been reining in his fangs, and the other nobles have also remained unmoved, basically leaving the same, after all, a big war is not so easy to open, and none of them will easily leave their territory until they figure out this troubled water.

Unfortunately, the next collision of magic will eventually sweep the entire continent, starting from Winterfell in the north and ending in Dorne in the south, and there is no escape.

Today was a good day for Daenerys, though, as her first step back to Westeros finally paid off, and that was to take possession of a fortress, Storm's End......

The cold wind swept through the cracks in the streets and alleys of the fortress, taking away the last shred of warmth from the people, even if this was the domain of the former royal family Baratheon, the life of the subjects of the subjects was not much better, and no matter where they were, the lives of the commoners were equally miserable.

What's more, in order to attack King's Landing and regain the Iron Throne, Stannis had already gritted his teeth and taken away the last resources of Storm's End, and now that he is trapped in Winterfell, he doesn't know how much better Storm's End's situation will be.

In addition to the soldiers stationed here, most of the ordinary people are not clothed and have enough food, even the families of many soldiers, but Sir Fallin has no choice, the Middle Ages itself is an era of backward agriculture, it is normal to not eat, and it is not normal to starve to death.

Moreover, the Storm's Rest Fort is a military fortress, only a small part of the fortress grows food, most of their supplies are transported and purchased from outside, plus the winter is gradual, they also have to store food for the winter, if the beginning is so difficult, the long winter night will definitely not be able to survive.

The ragged civilians and the same somewhat sluggish soldiers stood in the cold wind and shivered, these soldiers were better, although they were not well fed, but at least they could eat enough, but their spirits were a little weak, but the civilians on the side were much worse, they were neither the personal soldiers of Farin, nor the defenders of the Castle of Wind Rest, they could only rely on working in the castle to survive on weekdays, they were hungry and full, and after a while, they almost fainted in the cold wind.

But they did not dare to leave. Because today is Sir Fallin's personal order to open the gates of the city to welcome the new owner of Storm's End, the true dragon heir of the Targaryen dynasty, Daenerys born of the storm.

In fact, in addition to Sir Farling's personal soldiers, Wind's End is the best and most elite soldier. There are also a few families that have always been loyal to Baratheon, most people, most civilians, including many of the defenders, don't care who rules Storm's End, anyway, as long as they can eat, they can eat, and they will do whatever the nobles tell them to do.

This is the civilian population of this era, with little access to information. There is less thinking in the head.

However, those die-hard people and families are no longer a problem, and under the infusion of potions that are easy to boil and have more magic power than the elixir of truth-spitting, even babies who can just speak have become Daenerys's die-hard loyalists.

This potion is a kind of memory potion derived, and it can't completely change people's thinking in essence, only a little, but it only needs to change a little belief in people's hearts. His whole being was completely transformed.

For example, Yi Huan turns Farin's loyalty to Stannis into loyalty to Daenerys, and then his mind will think about Daenerys's merits. And Stannis's shortcomings, and then convince the brain, convince yourself.

Very simple questions, the human mind and heart are always the most complex.

Now, Sir Fallin, who was left behind by Stannis to garrison Storm's End, has become the first nobleman to be loyal to Daenerys since he marched into Westeros. There is absolutely no reluctance, magical magical power.

Yi Huan stood quietly near a window looking out of the inner fort, Sir Fallin was leading his personal guards, or important nobles in the Storm's End, to welcome Daenerys's arrival, early this morning. They opened the gates, and Barry, the fastest of the bunch, went to inform Daenerys that she had led the Unsullied into Storm's End.

Sir Fallin below was half-kneeling in front of Daenerys, as if to pledge allegiance, and the queen from Essos still had a bland expression on her face, with a hint of mildness in her coldness.

Yi Huan couldn't hear what they were saying, he could hear it, but he didn't bother to listen, the matter of entering the city below was quickly handed over, and Daenerys immediately dismissed the unrelated people around, one was because she still cared about her subordinates very much, and she couldn't bear to let them freeze in the cold wind, and the other estimated that it was also a very troublesome thing for the army of nearly 10,000 innocent people to enter the city, and I don't know if the Wind Rest Fort can accommodate it.

A burst of lightning flashed past Yi Huan, and then Yi Huan turned his head sideways to see Barry studying a gorgeous breastplate that was brighter than ordinary armor.

"It's very realistic." Barry knew that Yi Huan was looking at him, and said as if talking to himself, "It's like I personally participated in the war of the Middle Ages, and Sisko will love it when he sees it." ”

"Where did it come from?" Yi Huan's expression was flat, and he asked softly.

"I don't know." Barry shrugged, "A nobleman's house, I don't know their crest anyway, there is no such good equipment in the armory, and that Sir Fallin's personal guards are all the best equipped, but they are also in tatters. ”

"This should be the heirloom of that nobleman, it is estimated that he is already dying at this time, looking at the brightness, it looks like it was newly made, probably given to him by Stannis, he should not have experienced any major battles, by the way, the reindeer is the family crest of Baratheon."

Barry smiled and didn't speak, he was actually a very shy person, Yi Huan estimated that he should have something to find himself, otherwise he wouldn't have come over, and the two didn't know each other very well.

However, Barry's mysterious silence made Yi Huan very entangled, he was not a very good conversationalist, and after thinking about it for a long time, he only thought of one topic, "I didn't know that Sisko also liked armor, I thought he only liked to name evil superheroes." ”

"Sisko loves cool things." Barry laughed again, "Medieval knights seemed cool to him, and he was disappointed to learn that I couldn't travel back in time to the Middle Ages." ”

Barry babbled down, Yi Huan also listened patiently, now Daenerys has just entered the Storm's Rest Castle, and is in a hurry to settle down, it is estimated that there are a bunch of things to do wherever he goes, Yi Huan doesn't want to get involved with them, he still has his own things to do.

As if seeing Yi Huan's absent-mindedness, Barry restrained his emotions, then coughed lightly and asked, "When do you think these things will end?" ”

Yi Huan used to lack affection, but it didn't mean that he was a fool, he immediately heard what Barry meant, "You want to go back." He asked rhetorically.

Barry didn't deny it, he nodded, "It's a little bit of a thought, I think Catherine and Sisko and the others, and Joe." ”

"The most important thing is that you miss Iris." Yi Huan knew that Barry liked his adoptive father's daughter, but he never dared to say it, and he didn't know if he said it in his current timeline.

Barry frowned, the person in front of him knew that he liked Iris, and even knew Sisko's little habits, "You seem to know us well." He asked,

Yi Huan showed a flat smile, "I'm a wizard, I know a lot. ”

Barry didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, but Yi Huan continued, "You know what kind of world we're in, where it came from. ”

"I know." "HBO's, Sisko still let me watch it, but I didn't watch a few episodes. ”

"A TV series." Yi Huan repeated, "We are in the world of a TV series, do you think it is real? ”

Barry looked at the dirty fortress streets below, the ragged crowd, "True. He nodded, "Very true." ”

"Interesting, isn't it?" Yi Huan smiled, "We are in a TV series, do you think that we may also be a TV series, like some kind of interesting storyline, the protagonist enters the TV, and then starts a new story." ”

"I thought you'd tell me the answer." Barry didn't laugh, he said calmly, "I've actually been confused all along. ”

"You'll find out later." Yi Huan didn't answer him, "When you know more about the world, now let's talk about your problems, if you want to go back, you can, I can help you go back at any time, as long as you want." ”

"But ......" Barry hesitated, he looked outside, unlike Yi Huan and the others, Stark ran to Daenerys's side early after Yi Huan's magic was successful, and was in the team outside into the city at this time, he probably liked the process of this scenery, liked the excitement, "I will feel abandoned to my companions." ”

"That's your problem." Yi Huan is not a bosom aunt, his answer is very bland, "You can figure it out and come to me again." ”

Barry didn't seem to be surprised by Yi Huan's answer, during this period of interaction, several people also got to know each other, if Yi Huan communicated with him carefully, then he felt strange, he nodded, and prepared to leave here.

But just as Barry was about to leave, Yi Huan suddenly spoke, "But I can tell you something about this war. He paused, then continued, "It's coming to an end, and it won't be long. ”

The entry of the Unsullied below into the city continued, and after Barry left, there was only Yi Huan alone in the inner fort, he quietly looked down at the gate of the Storm's Breath Castle, his eyes were calm, the army of the Unsullied entered the city, so ...... What's next, what's going to happen, what's going to happen. (To be continued......)
