The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 46 The new lords on the east coast of the Narrow Sea

Although it was said that the strategy of continuing to advance eastward had been decided, Hu Ge did not leave immediately. It would take some time for the expeditionary force to take action now.

Moreover, Hu Ge also had to patrol the territory that everyone had encircled, showing his majesty and emphasizing his authority. At the same time, he also had to understand how many people were eager to dominate this land.

Since the area around the ship barrier was still not considered safe, Hugo still brought a large number of troops with him when traveling. When Hugo's team appeared, it was like an army marching.

Looking at the vast plains in front of him and the ruins of the ancient Andas kingdom dotting it, Hugo couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of this land.

"If it weren't for the Dragon King's persecution, I don't think our ancestors would have left this place. I don't know what the valleys and hills of Andas, the true birthplace of the Andals, would be like."

Ping Di is a fertile land. Even if it is plundered and ravaged by horsemen from time to time, it is still difficult to hide the wealth of this place. Moreover, the area where Hugo is located is relatively wealthy. From time to time, you can see familiar wheat fields on the hillside. The slowly advancing herd.

Most of the people living here are Andals. They were once slaves, but now they have been liberated. Although many people have more lords on their heads, they are still better than the days of being slaves.

When Hu Ge's team passes by, there will always be people who kneel down humbly to Hu Ge and pay tribute to Hu Ge in their common language with a thick accent. They are all grateful for Hu Ge's liberation, not to mention Hu Ge's God's Favorite The significance of their identity to the Andals.

Occasionally, you can see some Western immigrants working in the manor. They are even more respectful when they see Hugo. Even the people from the north are like this. If they had not come with Hugo's expedition, they would not have been able to cultivate such fertile land. .

"Where is the next town?" Hugo asked.

They had just left Fangge Town, and Hugo met Harold, who now claimed to be a baron. This mercenary leader was very knowledgeable and treated Huge with great respect, but the subtext in his words always hoped that Hugo would feel free to leave and not hinder him. Be the emperor of the land.

Hugo also understood Harold's reaction. After all, when Hugo appeared in Fangge Town, both soldiers and people kneeled in front of him and shouted long live. Harold must have looked uncomfortable.

Some guys in the enclosure treated Hu Ge very rudely because of this, especially the nobles from the royal realm and the storm land. Even if they treated Hu Ge indifferently, some people even made rude remarks.

But now in the East, the identity has changed. Everyone has been on the pirate ship, and these people will not continue to move forward with him, so he did not hesitate to deal with these people and warned their master. .

"It was Walder River's River City. He occupied a Pentos fortress and gave it a new name. A dozen nearby villages and manors paid tribute to him. The Freys gathered there. Lu Bishop Chen also recently visited his brother."

Canatier quickly replied that it was the troops under his jurisdiction who were responsible for Hugo's security this time. When talking, Black Blade is always a little absent-minded, and his eyes look around from time to time, as if he is remembering something.

Hu Ge saw the Black Blade's performance in his eyes and couldn't help but think of this man's dark past. Looking at his reaction now, Hu Ge felt that he was probably an Andal from Andas.

After arriving in the East, Hugo realized that Canatiel's accent was very similar to that of the locals, and the current gesture of reminiscence only strengthened this impression.

But Hugo didn't ask any more questions. Since Canatier didn't want to say more, he shouldn't be so ignorant to inquire about his past.

"Bastard Castle, this name is really..."

Hugo only commented on the name of the fortress. River is the surname of the bastard in the Riverlands. The fortress occupied by this name was ordered to be occupied. It seems that Walder River is very concerned about his bastard status.

After walking through another wilderness, Hewen Fort also appeared in front of Hugo. It was a fortress with three round towers and a circle of stone walls. There was a wide and deep moat outside the wall. The wall looked like it had experienced It has gone through many years, but it does not affect its erectness at all.

Although the fortress was strong, the Freys seemed uneasy. When Hugo approached the fortress, he saw many slingers digging earth embankments. It seemed that the Freys planned to build a new wooden fort near the fortress to respond to the defense.

Frey's twin tower flags flew above the castle, and the city gates soon opened, and a cavalry troop poured out, led by Walder Rivers.

The status of He Wen in the Frey family is evident. Even though there are several real Frey descendants, he is still the leader of the Eastern Frey.

"Lord Hu Ge, it is really an honor for you to come to Hewen Castle."

Looking at Wade's current respect, Hugo thought of his indifference when he first joined the team. Things have really changed, but Hugo won't get carried away in front of others with the past, he is not that boring yet.

"May the Seven Gods bless you, Sir Walder. Where is Bishop Lu Chen? I didn't find him." Hu Ge scanned the weasels among the weasels, but did not find the weasel wearing the bishop's robes.

"Bishop Lu Chen is currently in talks with several representatives of local religious orders. He will come out after the talks are completed."

"Oh? Representative of the local religious order? Take me to see it." Hu Ge immediately became interested. This was the first time he heard about the Seven Gods religious orders in the East. Before that, he asked Lu Chen to contact the local church. power, but there has been no news. Hu Ge thought he had failed.

Originally, Old Sparrow was more suitable to do this kind of thing, but now Old Sparrow is the manager of the camp. In the future, he will also stay at the ship fortress. The ship fortress needs a person with enough weight to take charge, and Old Sparrow is the most suitable among them, so he can only Let Lu Chen go.

However, there was no need for Hu Ge to go next, because Lu Chen had already led the people from the religious order out.

Bishop Weasel is still the same, but he is a lot more tired. Hugo's focus is on the monks who came out with him. These monks are not much different from the monks Hugo saw in Westeros. , all monks wearing simple clothes.

"Sorry, Lord Hu Ge, I was delayed due to some matters." Lu Chen apologized first, then stood aside, "But let me introduce these people to you first. These three people are Shihaoshan Religious Society, Three elders from the White Eagle Lake Order and the Yexuetun Order. These three are none other than Lord Hu Ge, the God’s Favored One.”

The three simple-dressed and ordinary-looking elders saluted Hu Ge together, "I salute you, Lord Blessed by God, and thank you very much for coming to the East and liberating so many suffering believers."

The head of the three is the elder of the Shihaoshan Monastery. It seems that like their Western counterparts, they gave up their surnames after they were born and practiced cultivation.

"Originally we planned to entrust Bishop Lu Chen to bring you a gift, but since you are here, we will hand it over to you directly."

The elder said hello to the monk behind him, and a monk brought a gift box. The elder opened it with a pious face, took the gift box with both hands, and then placed it in front of Hu Ge.

"Thank you then." Hu Ge looked at the gift box and found that inside was a white seven-sided stone cup with seven-pointed stars all over it and the faces of seven gods on the seven sides. The workmanship of this cup was so It was so sophisticated that for a moment he thought it was made of jade, but it wasn't until he touched it that he realized it was made of stone.

"This is the sacred medical cup enshrined in our monastery. It is made of marble from the Andas hills where the Father once walked. The wine contained in this cup can be turned into healing water, which is beneficial to the physical health of devout people. A lot of help could be used.”

"This is really a great gift, thank you very much."

Hu Ge said again and took the stone cup with both hands. The weight of the stone cup was much lower than he expected.

Obviously this is a unique product of the Seven Eastern Gods Religion. Its exquisiteness is visible to the naked eye. Handing this thing to yourself is enough to show the respect these cultivators have for you.

"Lord Hu Ge, let's leave first. We need to organize members of the religious order to join your cause. You can ask Bishop Lu Chen about everything else."

After the three elders finished speaking, they bowed respectfully to Hu Ge and then withdrew. This made many people uncomfortable and thought their attitude was a bit frivolous. However, Hu Ge, who had had many contacts with religious people, didn't care at all. Some monks are like this.

"Lord Hugo, please enter Hewen Castle. We have prepared a welcome banquet. My brother Merry is inspecting nearby villages and will return to pay tribute to you soon."

Walder Rivers said in time, which made Hugo a little surprised, but it was not surprising at all. After all, the Frey brothers had been consciously accumulating contacts from the moment they joined the expeditionary force, "You Frey can get the news very quickly. so fast."

"The Pentos people may come at any time, we must be prepared, and notice that Lord Hugo's arrival is just an accident."

Walder's answer made Hugo feel very comfortable. Talking to smart people is good. Speaking of which, the Freys he has come into contact with so far have pretty good abilities. He doesn't know why the old fish chews Frey's tongue and has a grudge against them. .

Next, Hu Ge walked to Lu Chen and entered Frey's fortress with the bishop. He asked about the situation, "What did those religious orders say?"

"As you can see, Lord Hu Ge, they have decided to join our cause." Lu Chen's words were full of excitement, "You don't know how much energy I have spent on this, but it is all worth it. They are willing to Dedicate yourself to your cause, the two elders just now are from the three largest monastic orders nearby."

"Then how many people can they bring? Are there any reliable soldiers?" This is what Hugo cares about most at the moment. How many people there are and how many soldiers they can bring.

After landing, Hugo paid great attention to wooing local forces, but it was a pity that there were no Andal forces in this area. Apart from slaves, they could only be regarded as cannon fodder on the battlefield. These religious orders that Lu Chen found , is the only one that can be expected to produce some effective combat power.

"They told me that there were hundreds of them. They were all monks who had fought with the Pentos people and had appropriate equipment. The Pentos people were not happy to see Andal forces in the plains, so these monasteries were set up in remote places. Or a sparsely populated place, but even so, the monks often have to fight to protect the order.”

"That's good. I hope these Eastern monks' fighting will is as firm as their faith."

Hu Ge was very happy about the local religious order coming to join the expedition. This meant that local snakes had finally joined the expedition, and their arrival would be of great help.
