Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 141 Arya and the Faceless

King's Landing City, Maegor's Tower.

Frowning, Stannis stood on the balcony of the small meeting room, looking at the vast forest on the south bank of the Blackwater River.

For several days, the Hewan troops who passed through the imperial forest rushed to the south bank and set up camp. The scouts reported that the number of enemy troops reached [-].

The good news is that they don't have boats or bridges to cross the river.

The bad news is that the 150 longships of the Redwyne family have captured Dragonstone Island, captured Selyse Florent and others who are still there, and rushed to King's Landing Port quickly.

Although his royal fleet and the combined forces of the pirates could compete with the Redwyne fleet, their strength on land was far less than the enemy's, only a quarter of the opponent's.

He has not yet fought the enemy, but has already lost the war.

Footsteps sounded, and Knight Davos Seaworth stepped behind his king.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Stannis tossed the rolled note to his Hand, "Look, there's another king."

Davos, nicknamed Onion Knight, smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know the words above, and they don't know me either."

The king without the crown glared at the Prime Minister and explained to him: "An army from across the Narrow Sea landed in the Stormlands, and their leader claimed to be the eldest son of Rhaegar, the true master of the Iron Throne, Aegon Targaryen VI. The defenders of Storm's End say this army is preparing to attack them."

"In front of the army outside the city, this can only be regarded as a troublesome thing." Onion Knight pointed to the south, "According to my observation of the enemy camp, there should be only [-] to [-] warriors of the Hewan people, and there are abnormally many servants without armor. , doesn't look like an army at all."

"Only! You call forty or fifty thousand soldiers only?" Stannis glared at his Prime Minister again, and then turned his head to Melisandre, the Scarlet Witch who walked in. "Why isn't Tommen in Duskendale, didn't you say Can burning the fat man kill the false king?"

Melisandre in a red robe swayed her lotus steps, walked gracefully to the king, and said softly: "Don't worry, I saw in the flames that Tommen was entangled by several snakes from the desert, and one snake bit him to death. He, the false king, will go to see his brother in a moment."

"It would be better." Stannis put his hands on the table and looked at the map. "Each of you think of a way to defeat the enemy outside the city."

Knight Davos said: "The Lannister army is on the north side of the Gods' Gate, and the Riverbend Army is on the south bank of the Blackwater River. Before the Redwyne fleet arrives, we can defeat the helpless lions first, and then we can fight against the Hehe River." The Gulf Army is at war."

"Do you think Kefeng is a fool? If you can't beat him, won't you lead the army to retreat?" Erlu looked at the Scarlet Witch, "What is your solution?"

"Exchange the captives in your hand for Edric Storm. The blood of the king contains unimaginable power. Together with the Lord of Light, it is enough to kill any enemy you hate."

Edric Storm is the illegitimate son of the former king Robert, who was originally fostered in Storm's End, then brought to Dragonstone by Stannis, and is now captured by the Redwyne fleet.

The Scarlet Witch fixed her deep gaze into Stannis' blue eyes.

The onion knight next to him couldn't bear the sight of the king having an affair with a witch, and reminded him, "That's your blood relative, and kinslayers will be cursed by the gods."

"Jazz, don't get excited, it's not killing him, just a little blood."

Melisandre looked at the Onion Knight again, which made Davos shyly turn his head.

"I will never forgive the crimes of the traitors Cersei, Varys and others." Stannis said, looking at the Scarlet Witch.

"But their trial may be delayed until your Majesty has won the battle. Outside Storm's End, you have seen the power of the King's Blood."

The brows were flattened a little, and Stannis ordered, "Then do it like this."

……

Shitang Town.

Arthur, who was sweating profusely, sat up suddenly from the bed, recalling the nightmare he had just now.

In the dream, he was marrying Little Rose Margaery Tyrell, and the process of swearing in and banquets had already been completed. He carried Little Rose into the wedding room and was ready to post.

Margaery was dressed in an unusually beautiful way. When Arthur was about to kiss her, a bald man with blue eyes crawled out from under the bed and wrapped his hands around his neck with such force that Arthur almost suffocated.

Fortunately, Alduin got out of nowhere, and it spewed out dragon flames, which burned the blue-eyed man to death on the spot.

But there was no shadow of this person's remains. Just as Arthur was about to investigate, Alduin stretched out its head. What was shocking was that Alduin had Joffrey's face.

Emperor Qiao's small face was still so handsome, and his eyes were much clearer, but the human face growing on the dragon's head was still very scary.

Then Arthur woke up.

It was a terrible nightmare.

He thought about it carefully, but suddenly realized that it was very likely that Stannis was about to curse someone.

Counting the days, the lion and flower armies have surrounded Junlin City, and Erlu's soldiers are far less than the enemy's. Naturally, they must use special methods to win.

Arthur, the self-proclaimed king, must be on his curse list.

The power of the curse should come from Edric Storm, Robert's bastard son who possesses both dragon's blood and king's blood.

In addition to doing three defenses in daily life: anti-cold arrows, anti-virus and anti-assassins, Arthur has to prepare to break this curse.

Coincidentally, Cobain, who directed the construction of new houses in Heron Town, had a deep research on necromancy.

Arthur had already discussed with him how to break the curse of Harrenhal before, and Cobain also recognized the two solutions of transplanting weirwood and burning the Great Barren Tomb. It is not difficult to find a way to break the curse of Stannis.

After keeping this in mind, Arthur turned over and got out of bed, and called Podrick to wash up.

It was already evening outside, and tonight was the time to dig the dam upstream.

After three days of accumulated river water washed down, the fully dressed Hejian Army will be on standby on the hill where Shitang Town is located, ready to capture the rout soldiers and enemy generals.

……

The east side of God's Eye Lake.

Two men and two horses were heading north, and Sandor Clegane was pouring the contents of the wineskin into his mouth.

Arya looked at the vast lake and asked angrily, "Hound, do you not know the way? We were in Stone Hall Town, and from there we can go west to Riverrun. Why did you come back?"

"I heard that your sister ran away to Harrenhal, so I took you to the north." Sandor shook the empty wine bag, and looked at the sunset again, "We have to find a place to sleep."

Their mounts carried them up a small hill, where they met five uninvited guests head-on.

A lion cavalry in a crimson robe spoke first: "I actually met an acquaintance, does the girl remember someone?"

The hunting dog thought that the lion cavalry would greet him with obvious features first, but he didn't expect that it was the little wolf girl who was recognized.

Arya looked at the red-robed man she had never seen before with a small face, "Who are you? Why do you use someone's name?"

In her impression, only a death row prisoner in the night watchman called himself that.

At that time, the gold cloaks were chasing a young man, so they attacked the team led by Yoren the night watchman and set off a fire. Three prisoners on death row were trapped in the prison car. Arya, who couldn't bear it, found an ax for her They, and then both sides never saw each other again.

"Red Robe" took off his lion-shaped half-helmet, and then stroked his face with his free right hand. The facial features that were originally mediocre suddenly became attractive.

Arya recognized that it was the original death row inmate.

"The girl stole three lives from the Red God, so she has to return three lives to the Red God. You name the three, and someone will send them to the Red God." Arya's familiar face showed her back , Jakun Hegar said.

Arya was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what was going on, so she pointed to a red robe behind Jia Kun, "That's him."

"This is Rorger and Fang, my companion. I can't kill him if you didn't name him. The other two Lannister cavalry are Aidan and Benson." Jia Kun replied.

Arya rolled her eyes and understood that Jia Kun was implying that the two lion cavalry could be killed, so she said the two names.

Jia Kun nodded with a smile, and turned to look at the two Lannister cavalry.

Frightened by the conversation, the two men were already turning their horses and preparing to flee.

It's just that Faceless Jia Kun's hands were faster, and two red feathers shot out from his hands, piercing the backs of their necks.

Pfft!
The two bodies fell to the ground, and the mount stopped.

Sandor Clegane looked at the red feathers on the back of the corpse in shock, and after thinking about his relationship with the little wolf girl, he quietly took off the dog-shaped helmet on the horse's back and put it on. He reached his head, pressed down the visor, and tightened the neck guard.

"What about the third name?"

Arya looked at the death row prisoner who could change his face with his hands, and then at the Lannister cavalry who fell to the ground, and said eagerly: "I don't want you to help me kill, just teach me this way of killing, I will know how to kill myself revenge."

The Faceless Man stretched out his right index finger and shook it, "This is not a person's name."

Arya tried hard to recall the person's name, and said, "Jia Kun."

"Then tell me something I can do!" The Faceless Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Arya glanced at Sandor Clegane behind her, and thought to herself, if they let them kill the Hound, then Jia Kun must have nothing to do with her.

"Then free me from Sandor Clegane, and teach me your ways of killing. My brother died at the hands of the Lannisters and the traitorous Roose Bolton, and I must serve him and the Northmen revenge."

Jia Kun waved his hand and asked Rorjie and the two behind him to come forward, "You guys find a way to get him away from the girl."

Looking at the mysterious three people, the hunting dog stepped back slowly with the horse's belly lightly clamped.

Years of combat experience made him understand that he should never let such a dangerous opponent know his back.

Rorge and Fang rode Sandor Clegane on horseback, and the three were far away from Jaqen and Arya.

"Someone must die." After Jia Kun the Faceless said this, he stroked his face again with his hands.

So the attractive middle-aged male face turned into a scarred face again.After shaking the long straight red hair, the faceless man's head was covered with curly black hair again.

"I want to learn such a technique."

Arya looked at the man in front of her anxiously.

"Okay, you can come with me to Braavos across the Narrow Sea," said the Faceless Man.

The little wolf girl thought about her old sister, and Jon Snow who had already put on black clothes and became the night watchman.

"But I have to meet my relatives first so they know where I am."

The Faceless Man took a strange old coin from his bosom, "I can't see your kin. Take this coin, and you can give him to anyone in Braavos, and say to Valar Morghulis, You will find me."

Arya took the old coin and rubbed it curiously.

Bigger and older than Silver Deer and Golden Dragon coins, the texture is similar to copper plates.

After speaking, the stranger in Jia Kun's clothes nodded to Arya, turned and retreated into the darkness, and disappeared after the cloak fluttered.

In the distance, there was a roar.

Arya could hear it clearly. It was the Hound's voice.

After getting rid of the hounds, she didn't care about the fact that the sun had already set, so she rode her horse and galloped north. Her sister Sansa might be in Harrenhal, which is just north of the giant lake.

……

Middle of the Golden Mile.

Caitlin, who had been revived, listened to the reports of her Brotherhood members.

Of course, she is no longer Mrs. Stark, and others call her "Mrs. Stoneheart".

"Blonde hair, wearing gorgeous porcelain armor, galloping with three horses, looks a lot like Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer."

"It's just because he ran too fast, so the brothers can't be sure, so I will report it to you and let Madam decide."

Because the wound in her throat won't heal, she had to put her hands to her neck as she spoke, "Whoever he is, from the west, that's a lackey of the Lannisters. My lord, me, and my son died at their hands , anyone who has anything to do with them will die."

She ordered to more than 40 people under her command, "Everyone pack up, let's hunt down that knight."

After the death of Lord Beric, the Red Priest, Thoros the Red Priest left the Brotherhood squad, leaving Lady Stoneheart in charge.

So the members of the Brotherhood who had been lying down stood up again, dragged their tired bodies and simply packed up their belongings, got on their horses, and followed the leader to chase and kill the rider who was suspected of being a kingslayer.

……

Beside a big tree, "Beauty" Brienne Tass, who had already wrapped herself in a cloak, suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly.

There is a large cavalry coming, and it is menacing.

So Brienne, who was sleeping with the armor, stood up, holding the saber in her hand, and was going to check the situation first.

"Hey, it looks like a female knight!" shouted the first fraternity member at the flash of a torch.

"We're Brotherhood Without Banners, so you can sleep in peace," another member replied.

Brienne looked at the continuous stream of riders, and after confirming that they were not wearing the standard armor of noble family soldiers, she sat down against the tree.

It should be a member of the fraternity. Hearing that this organization has a good reputation, the beauty is relieved.

But the person in the middle of the team caught Brienne's attention, "Isn't that Mrs. Stark who was killed by the Lion Cavalry?"

The fraternity team passed by quickly, and Brienne stared blankly at the back of the one who had already run away, and decided to follow up to ask for clarification.
