Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Deep in the Mingyue Mountains, dozens of warriors from the Gaoshan clans sat scattered in the corners of the hillside.

They supported each other and collapsed exhaustedly. The simple equipment worn by the warriors was oozing with blood. There were many bloodstains on their arms, faces and even legs.

The leading female savage stepped on the goat skull closest to the foot of the slope, raised her head and looked up the hillside, examining the figures in the deep forest.

Going up the slope were densely packed goat skulls, arranged in an orderly manner. These were the traces of sacrifices left by the ancestors of the Burning People Tribe a long time ago. Almost no tribe of the Gaoshan clan in the Mingyue Mountains dared to interfere.

The traces of black charcoal burned by the flames can be seen everywhere on this slope, extending and winding to the top of the hillside in the deep forest.

The warriors behind the female savage looked at these burnt traces with some fear. The legend of the fire witch is still circulating among the Gaoshan clans.

The figures in the deep forest on the hillside rustled and finally made a sound, "Qira, the daughter of Qike of the Black Ear Tribe, this is the territory of the Burning People Tribe." The voice was strong and tight, and seemed a little angry.

"You have crossed the border, are you here to challenge the 'Red Hand'?" The figure rushed out, and the tall warrior of the Burning People Tribe wore an elk skull on his head, standing in the rustling woods like a ghost.

Qira raised his head, "I don't need to challenge the 'Red Hand', I can knock down the short man of the Burning People Tribe with one hand." She showed her two uneven rows of teeth in her mouth and said with disdain.

"If you don't come to fight, it means surrendering and paying tribute. The 'Red Hand' will be happy to sprinkle his seeds between the legs of the daughter of Qike. Are you here to sacrifice yourself?" The warrior of the Burning People Tribe raised his mouth slightly and said to the female savage Qira.

"That depends on whether the 'Red Hand' can enjoy this blessing." The female savage Qira licked the dagger in her hand and chuckled.

The warriors of the Burning Tribe seemed to have heard the call from behind, and shouted to the warriors of the Black Ear Tribe below: "Tell us your purpose, otherwise you will all be burned to death!"

Zira grinned like a wild cat facing its natural enemy, and said viciously: "Attis Alyn's tin cans drove our Black Ear Tribe warriors back to the mountains. I need the help of the Red Hand to join us in plundering the bastards who invaded our homeland."

"We have contacted the Milk Snake Tribe and the Stone Crow Tribe, and hope that the Burning Tribe and the Painted Dog Tribe can participate." The voice of the wild woman Zira echoed in the valley.

The warriors of the Burning Tribe withdrew from sight and returned to the deep forest. Then they walked out of the deep forest, and a one-eyed young man stood in the sight of the Black Ear Tribe warriors.

"'Red Hand' Timett, do you still have the courage to go with me to kill the Andals who invaded our homeland?" Zira tilted his head with a smile on his face, "I guess you don't dare. The men of the Burning Tribe will only elect cowardly people as 'Red Hand'."

"The cowardly Burning Tribe preserved the blood of the ancestors, and the warriors of the tribe did not die in a tragic massacre," Timett said slowly, "How many fools who wanted to go out of the mountains to encircle and suppress the son of Jon Arryn are left?"

An angry look appeared on Zira's face, and the 'Red Hand' Timett on the mountain continued to talk.

"The Moonmen, who have the closest relationship with your Black Ears, have no men since then, and the women can only be looted to other tribes. We, the Burning Tribe, have also received a lot. Your stupid father, Zeke, wanted to help the stupid Moonmen, and he died under the lance of the Vale Knights." Timett said sarcastically.

Qila angrily stabbed the goat's skull with a dagger, "'Red Hand' Timmet, are you going to fight the invaders with us?"

Timet remained silent, pointing at his one eye, "After I gave my eye to the flame, 'Red Hand' is destined to be an enemy of the heretics of the Seven Gods," he turned around, "Tell me your plan, the Burning Man Tribe will help you, and if there are spoils, half of them will be given to us." He walked into the deep forest, and the shadowy figures in the deep forest disappeared.

Qila turned his head to look at the Black Ear Tribe warriors beside him, "Go to the Painted Dog Tribe, 'Red Hand' agreed to join the war, and the Painted Dog Tribe will definitely follow."

The goat's skull extends all the way to a hidden cave, which is hidden by the dense forest.

Timet walked into the cave, and what came into view was a huge, ferocious dragon bone hanging above the front of the cave. This was only the dragon head showing in front of the cave, its fangs exposed, and there seemed to be a faint flame jumping in its throat.

Timet knelt in front of the huge dragon bone and prayed in a low voice. The fire witch, painted with red paint, sat cross-legged in front of the dragon bone with a burning bonfire in front of her.

This fire witch was just an ordinary woman in the tribe, not the real fire witch who could control the dragon flame in the mural. The historical one had long been buried in a corner of the Moon Mountains and became a corpse.

The people of the Burning Tribe always nominated a fire witch to serve as the object of people's worship.

The fire witch in front of him was his wife, just like the fire witch married the former "Red Hand", but at that time the Burning Tribe was just a branch of the Painted Dog Tribe.

"I will select two hundred good hands to go out of the mountain with me to attack the Andal Artis Arryn hiding on the Giant's Spear." Timet looked at his wife and said to her.

The fire witch held the spike of the dragon bone in her hand, dipped it in red dye, and painted the bloody hand pattern of the Burning Tribe on the smooth rock in front of her.

Timet nodded, "A good omen for fighting." He stood up and let out a monkey-like howl.

Many figures appeared behind the huge and complete dragon skeleton. The warriors of the Burning Tribe stood densely in the depths of the cave, looking at the howling and screaming "Red Hand" Timi, their war leader.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The warriors of the Burning Tribe roared like beasts, and the shouts filled the cave.

Attis flipped through the "Chronicles of the Valley" in his hand, a book written by Dr. Anel of the Citadel, which is used to chronicle the geography and humanities of the valley. It is said that he also consulted the bachelor of the Eyrie City at that time, and successfully obtained the title by relying on his eloquence and barbecue skills. Trusted by the Gaoshan clan, it is said that he brought many spices and seasonings for barbecue.

Most of these spices were provided by the Eagle's Nest City, but they contributed to the birth of a great book.

"During the coming-of-age ceremony of the Burning Man Club, they will burn off a certain part of their body. In most cases, it is the fingers and nipples. This is probably because the Burning Man Club has been actively expanding in the Mingyue Mountains and burning other parts will affect the battle. "Attis read the contents of the book softly.

"The more important the body parts that are burned off, the higher the reputation of the warrior. However, in the years I have lived in the Burning Man Division, I have not seen any Burning Man Warriors burn their own lifeblood." Attis said slightly. He raised his eyebrows and continued reading, "The 'Red Hand' of the Burning Man Division is a respectable warrior. He suspected that I leaked information about the robbery to the Valley Knights (I did leak it). Many people advised him to kill me, but considering Because I have served as a cook and guest for the Burning People for many years, he let me walk out of the Mingyue Mountains and returned to the Gate of the Moon safely. "

"Perhaps because I am an Andal or an outsider, they never let me get close to the center of power of the Burning Tribe. The 'Red Hand' and other Burning Tribe warriors live in a cave deep in the mountains. It is said that The place where the fire witch they worshiped once lived."

"There is no evidence that this fire witch is the dragon driver Nettle who escaped into the valley on the wild dragon 'Sheep Thief' during the 'Dance of Blood Dragons', but according to my guess, it is very likely."

Attis frowned, Fire Witch, dragon?
