Daniel was a little dumbfounded again, he had heard this sentence before, and it was also from Willis's mouth, it was the same words, but this time he was a little confused.

"I ...... I don't understand. Daniel stammered.

Verris glanced at Daniel with some disdain, thinking that he was very smart because he was very good at making money, but he didn't expect that he was a stupid person who couldn't even understand the words, "I'm going to protect my property." "I'm the master of those cheap bones, so I'm obligated to protect them." ”

Daniel opened his mouth, but it didn't mean that, or he wanted to hear what Willis said was not this, Daniel felt that the impression of Willis in his mind had been refreshed again, it was true that the relationship between nobles and commoners was almost the relationship between master and slave, but most nobles only remembered the responsibility of being oppressed, and forgot anything else.

Especially...... People like Willis.

"But...... The stranger is very powerful......" Daniel said as carefully as he could, he didn't want to provoke Willis, and he didn't want to watch him die, but he didn't want him to run away like other nobles, so Daniel was very entangled in his heart, "We can't hold the city, you may ......"

He didn't finish speaking, but Veris already understood the meaning, in fact, as a native of the North, Willis knows more about the horror of the strange spirits than Daniel, and every noble family has a long history of culture and books, as well as those scholars who are in charge of it, and they try to record history as truthfully as possible, even if it will not be disseminated to the outside world, it will prepare the descendants of the nobles.

Therefore, Veris knows that no matter how large the number of strange ghosts, as long as they have fight and contact with humans, then the number will immediately rise, and it will be absolutely impossible to defend the city. The meaning of victory lies in...... How many people can live, because those who die will become the power of ghosts.

Daniel could feel that Veris was also afraid, his fat flesh trembling slightly, and even his body trembling, but he still wore his armor steadfastly, and tried to arm himself to the teeth.

"I ...... I know. He said. The untouchables are my belongings, and I ...... Of course, I want to protect my private property. Veris squeezed out a forced smile.

Daniel opened his mouth, but Verris had already strode out.

White Harbor is the most prosperous trading city-state in the north, and its own armed forces should not be underestimated, it is not a small town, but one of the five major cities of Westeros, plus the Mandalay family has been in charge for a hundred years, and the private army is also a very large force.

By this time the White Harbor garrison had been gathered under the leadership of Marlon Mandalay, Sir Wilman's cousin. Stuck in the city walls and various arteries, defended by arrow towers and fortresses, what Willis is now in front of him is the last strength of the Mandalay family, private soldiers.

"Your Excellency." A knight armed to the teeth stepped forward, then leaned over and bowed, wearing a sturdy plate of armor that almost wrapped him into a steel can, with a soft chain helmet on his head. He has a white mermaid on a blue-green background printed on his chest, which is the emblem of the Mandalay family.

This is the leader of the private army. Sir Wiman's henchman, a powerful knight who has been through a lot of battles.

The knights of the north are the same as those of the south of Westeros, and almost all of the knights of Westeros are more or less the same, but there are some differences in armor and mounts, and the emphasis of the power of the knights of the south and the north is different, and the knights of the north are more adept at wielding the sword of a knight that is more than half a man. With the strong war horses in the north, it can almost support heavy troops.

The fact that horses cannot be ridden in the city does not mean that the knights are not powerful, and each knight has a knighthood, which may be just an honorary title, but it is also distinguished from ordinary soldiers. They have full armor, sharp weapons, and most of the knights' equipment, with the exception of a few wandering knights, can buy a poor village.

The number of knights is scarce, and in contrast to their strength, knights are not inherited, only after they have proven themselves with strong force in a hundred battles, they can be called knights.

In the face of those ordinary soldiers, the knights' swordsmanship was not only more sophisticated, but the expensive armor and sharp weapons were not beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers, and in all skirmishes, it was normal for any knight to knock over four or five soldiers.

There are not many knights in White Harbor, but they can form a team of 100 people by patching together, compared to the Eagle's Nest City, where there are not enough twenty knights to pull everyone together, White Harbor is definitely powerful, but this is a little pitiful in front of the army of thousands and thousands of strange ghosts.

"Riya still has ...... What about Vera? Willis asked in a low voice to the knight leader.

"Madame and Miss have already left." The knight chief was quick to give an answer.

Ria is Willis's wife, although she rarely haunts her, but it doesn't mean that Willis doesn't pay attention to it, Vera is his two younger sisters, and in front of the army of strangers, he is not sure to protect their safety, so it is better to go to Count Wiman.

It can be seen from this series of actions of Willis that he has no confidence in holding White Harbor at all, or he has no intention of defending White Harbor, and King's Landing reinforcements must not be counted on, they all know that something big seems to have happened in King's Landing, and even the news has been blocked.

Not to mention the other nobles, it stands to reason that their best reinforcements should be the Stark family in Winterfell, but at the moment they are afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves, and perhaps Stannis, who is trying to win over the help, is also a good choice, but ...... He was also trapped in Winterfell.

Every nobleman has some political sense to a greater or lesser extent, even if Daniel is not a nobleman, he can understand it, so even if Willis is fat-headed and big-eared, he only knows how to do it in White Harbor, he should know this, so Daniel can't understand Willis's approach at this time.

There were about three or four hundred people gathered in front of Willis, which was not all the strength of the Mandalay family, but it was gathered in a hurry, and more private soldiers and the White Harbor garrison were rushing to the front line of the city wall, or suppressing the riot and channeling and pacifying the civilians, and it was already a great force to be able to gather such a force at this time.

Veris stood on the stage, the silver armor that was larger and imprisoned his fat flesh, looking a little ridiculous, but no one below could laugh, and the white mermaid was lifelike against the blue and green background of Veris's armor.

Some soldiers knew what was going on outside. Some don't know, but the sudden rush out of the city and the riots of civilians near the city walls at this time indicate one thing, that is, war, unknown enemies.

Willis looked at them and suddenly drew his sword, "Mandalay will never back down!" He shouted. Keeping his usual taciturn and brief style, he calmly said, "Let's go." ”

There was no question of loyalty to the Mandalay family's private soldiers, especially since Willis was the direct heir of the Earl of Wiman, and even their leader had no objection, even if they could do anything unless they were asked to kill the Earl of Wiman.

Malone is in control of the White Harbor garrison, and Willis can mobilize private troops, of course. Both of these White Harbor forces belonged to the Earl of Wiman, but he was not in the city at this time.

The direction of this team is the city gate, no one speaks along the way, most of the private soldiers usually stay near the core castle of the Mandalay family, so that they can be used at any time, because this is the last strength of Mandalay, and the new castle of the Mandalay family is the center of White Harbor, in the aristocratic quarters. There was calm in the room.

It's not that the nobles didn't know the news, but they knew the news in advance. Confident to stay, not confident Willis has already arranged ships in advance for them to leave.

If the enemy they are facing is other nobles, then Willis is absolutely wrong, and everyone should stay and fight to the death, because the strong walls of White Harbor are their most powerful weapon, but their enemies are strangers. A monster that is not for land, not for money and honor, but only for life and slaughter, Willis is absolutely right, because it is known as the Great Wall of the North that will never fall. It's the best proof of that.

Except for the aristocratic quarter, which is the commoner quarter, it is also very quiet, but they really haven't heard from it, and they sit obediently at home, not knowing that a group of their future kind has arrived outside White Harbor.

They were advancing very fast, and the garrison, in addition to constantly telling Willis the news of the outside of the city and the distance of the strange spirits from White Harbor, also cleared White Harbor Street for them, and the spacious White Harbor Street had no problem accommodating five hundred people, and they made their way to the north-facing wall of White Harbor unhindered.

This is the direction where the ghosts are found, and it is also the first place where the ghosts will attack next.

At this time, this place is much more chaotic than the two places that Veris passed through, and the civilians living in the north are not only cold and frost resistant, but the biggest feature of the civilians living in the north is that they know the ghosts, even if they are not ancestors, but these Andals also deeply understand the horror of the ghosts in the inheritance of their ancestors for generations, and they do not have any confidence to defend White Harbor.

Marlon also seems to know this, he didn't let everyone go to the garrison to accompany the funeral, he let go of the city gates on the east and west sides, while the strange ghosts have not yet arrived, those who are willing to leave, he does not hinder, of course, if there are strange ghosts on the plain or are caught up, then he can only consider himself unlucky.

The Wraith will soon arrive at the city, and he will close the gates and defend the city, and the harbor south of White Harbor will be the only way to leave.

How long can White Harbor be held, even those civilians who have heard how powerful the strange ghosts are for countless years don't know, but they know how many ships there are in White Harbor, and they will definitely not be able to transport these hundreds of thousands of people, and even if they can, the civilians must be the last, once the city is broken during this period, everyone will die, so many civilians who have learned the news of the strange ghosts are flocking to get out of the city at this time.

Thankfully, Malone didn't stop him, but it also caused problems for Willis and stopped them from advancing.

Willis ordered the soldiers to open the way in front, and then led the people behind him straight to the city wall, the first wave of the alien spirit is the most terrifying, the White Harbor garrison alone is absolutely unable to hold it, he must bring reinforcements to ensure that the White Harbor is not the first time to be breached.

"That's ......" Willis, who was advancing surrounded by soldiers, suddenly brightened his eyes and saw a family of three in the fleeing crowd, the girl to be exact, he glanced at Daniel next to him dissatisfiedly, and said, "You missed another one." ”

In fact, Daniel next to him was a little stunned, because he didn't even know why he wanted to come with him, to face the strange ghosts, to find death, but his shrewd head still reacted quickly, and his eyes fell on the girl, recognizing that this was one of the several targets that Veris had designated to snatch before.

This matter has long been forgotten by Daniel, so the girl was naturally not taken captive, and Willis glanced at the knight leader next to him, and then the knight immediately understood the meaning.

Obviously, this was not the first time that they had done these things, several private soldiers broke away from the group, and then came to the family with ease, first pushing them out of the crowd, then beating the man unconscious, and then despite the hostess's struggle and pleading, forcibly took away the young girl, whose clothes had been torn most of them.

The two soldiers led the girl to the rear, gradually disappearing into the group, and Willis nodded in satisfaction, and then continued to support Marlon.

Daniel's face was complicated, and he suddenly understood that Willis was a typical arrogant aristocrat, and because of his aristocratic status, all commoners were reduced to inferior creatures, or playthings, so he took the robbery of commoner women for granted, and also took the protection of civilians as a matter of course.

It's very simple, everything you have belongs to me and is my private property, so I should protect you, as Willis has always said, it's very simple, there is no other reason, it's just that Daniel hasn't understood.

It's hard to say that Willis is a good person, because he doesn't treat civilians as people at all, but as objects, and it is natural to protect himself, which only shows that this person dares to resist, and the fact that he sees people as objects shows that Willis has a bad character, because people are not objects after all.

Veris has a bad character, so it can also be said that people are not objects after all, so you can't see Veris's protection of these people as an item to protect yourself, in this way, isn't this a different kind of good person, so Daniel is very entangled at this time.

However, no matter how he struggled, he had already followed Willis to the wall of the north gate of White Harbor, and he could not retreat from being surrounded by soldiers, so he was facing the first battle with the stranger in his life.

The north gate of White Harbor was in the direction of Winterfell, but at this time, the endless plains and mountains in the distance were not gray grass green, but white and black full of death, and countless blackened corpses wriggled in the distance, they were strangely shaped or climbing or limping, but they were all firmly moving towards White Harbor.

And the White Harbor, which was blocked in front of the heads of countless ghouls, was like a small grass under a big tree, broken away from the barrier of the towering tree of the Great Wall in the north, and it was no longer able to resist.

But on the side of the strange spirit's march towards White Harbor, there were also groups of people who came here day and night, two men and two women, and one of them, a man who seemed to be a half-giant, also held a woman in his arms, and if anyone who knew Stannis was here, he would recognize her as the witch in red, Melisandre.
