Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

Wilfield's small mouth tried her best to swallow most of it, but there was still a trace of white flowing down the corner of her mouth.

This scene seems a bit familiar...

"It was really careless."

Domeric gently wiped the remaining porridge from the corner of her mouth with his fingers, then stuffed it into her mouth again, twitched and said, "Don't waste it!"

"Asshole! Scumbag!" Wilfield didn't expect to be teased at this time.

She bit the man's finger bitterly, not letting Domeric pull away.

But in the blink of an eye, I thought, isn't this just what he wanted?

Sure enough, Domeric showed a look of enjoyment at this moment.

What a pervert!

Wilfield was so angry that she immediately let go, with anger on her face.

Domeric didn't take it seriously and explained with a smile:

"The Golden Company is known as the most powerful of the major mercenary groups. It was founded a century ago by the illegitimate son of King Aegon - Cold Iron - Aegor River.

Back then, Aegon's illegitimate son Blackfire tried to compete with his legitimate brother for the Iron Throne, and Cold Iron joined the rebellion.

However, Daemon Blackfyre was killed in the Battle of the Redgrass Field, and the rebellion failed.

After the supporters of the Black Dragon Banner fled the battlefield, most of them were unwilling to surrender, so they crossed the ocean to the other side of the Narrow Sea.

This includes Daemon's sons, as well as 'Bitter Iron' himself and hundreds of lords and knights who have lost their fiefdoms.

In order to survive, they had to become mercenaries. Some joined the Flag-breaking Group, some joined the Second Son Group, and some joined the Mu Nu Group.

'Han Tie' saw that the power of the 'Black Fire' family was torn apart and was about to collapse, so he decided to create a golden group to unite the exiles closely.

Since then, the Golden Company have made a living in the disputed lands, employed by the Myrs, Lysians, or Tyrosh.

Waging endless wars of harassment for them, while dreaming of taking back the homeland of our fathers and grandfathers..."

"It sounds a bit pitiful!" Wilfield showed her feminine side.

“It’s really pitiful, they are the descendants of the exiles, they have nothing and they have never been forgiven…

Some of these people are ghosts and some are liars.Losers who survived lost wars, lost causes, failed rebellions.

This is a team of losers, whose members are all disgraced and homeless, but they have good fighting ability..."

At the foot of Nuvenfountain, Domeric used several times the force to crush more than 500 soldiers of the Golden Regiment.

But I also felt their combat effectiveness. In terms of weapons, equipment and combat awareness, they were much stronger than the levies of ordinary lords!

In the plot, Viserys Targaryen hosted a banquet with the commanders of the Golden Company, hoping that they would help him regain the throne.

But the Golden Company enjoyed the feast and upon hearing Viserys' request, mocked him mercilessly.

“The Golden Company originally fought for the Free Cities as mercenaries.

But recently, when the war between Lys, Tyrosh and Myr was approaching, the Golden Company terminated its cooperation with the Free City-State of Myr...

I got the message from the prisoner:

Under the instigation of Governor Illyrio of Pendos, they have turned their allegiance to Princess Daenerys Targaryen..."

"Since the members of the Golden Company once opposed the Targaryen family in history, how could they support Daenerys Targaryen's cause?"

Wilfield raised her eyebrows.

Domeric thought for a while and replied: "Perhaps in the eyes of the Golden Company, Daenerys Targaryen can do things for the exiles that neither Cold Iron nor Black Fire can do."

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"Take them home!" Domeric replied.

If the Targaryen dynasty still exists, the Golden Company will naturally continue to fight to the end.

But after the "War of the Usurpers", the Targaryen dynasty was completely overthrown by King Robert, and the Golden Company no longer even had a goal to fight against!

Now being loyal to "Dragon Mother" Daenerys means nothing more than seeing her own three dragons.

I want to help this "Dragon Mother" ascend to the Iron Throne, return to Westeros, and obtain the status of a noble...

While the two were chatting, a northern knight sent a letter from Gushan Ridge.

Domeric opened the letter:

The foundry in Gushanling received another batch of new weapons from Bai Gang's fleet.

The chief blacksmith Noi complained in the letter that many skilled workers were killed in order to test these weapons, and hoped that Domeric could improve the pension standard... and so on.

Seeing the joy on the man's face next to her, Wilfield was also a little curious about what good thing had happened?

"Gushanling has sent a batch of new weapons. I'm going to test them out."

With that said, Domeric speeded up feeding the porridge, scooped up the oat milk, and put it into Wilfield's mouth.

Wilfield choked and had white liquid coming out of her mouth and nose.

"I'll do it myself." The woman was furious.

Domeric also realized that his behavior was inappropriate.

He wanted to test new weapons, but there was no need to be so impatient.

Wilfield grabbed the bowl and drank the oatmeal milk porridge in one gulp, then lifted the quilt and got ready to get dressed.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet." Domeric felt a little distressed.

"It's been healed a long time ago!" Wilfield opened her silk clothes and saw that the wound on her side had long since healed.

I don’t know if it’s because the wound itself is too shallow, or because her physical fitness is too good.

"Then why are you lying in bed pretending to be sick?" Domeric said in a teasing tone.

"I originally expected you to care more about me," Wilfield said with an angry look on her face, "but now I am extremely disappointed!"

Domeric was stunned for a moment and scratched his head helplessly...

-----------------

There is a huge open space near the port outside Maiden Spring.

The fishermen who were fishing or collecting clams near the port all put down their work and looked around curiously.

Lord Mouton, the lord of Maidenpool City, heard that the Prime Minister had a task for them, and immediately rushed to serve him.

Now everyone knows that this "Hand of the King" is the most powerful person in the Seven Kingdoms.

According to Domilik's instructions, they erected long wooden poles and tied ropes around them, forming a warning circle of nearly half a mile to drive away the fishermen who tried to get closer and watch.

"Is this the new weapon you were talking about?"

Wilfield looked at a row of strange tubes on the ground.

It looks like a cylinder cast from pig iron and then wrapped with a circle of iron bars. It looks extremely weird.

Next to it was a thick canvas package. Wilfield picked up a little black powder with her fingers, put it in front of her nose and sniffed:

"Isn't this 'divine fire'?"

Wilfield may not know the principle behind the explosion of "Sacred Fire", but she was also present when Domeric destroyed Harrenhal.

With her intelligence, even if she didn't know the explosion principle of "divine fire", she could still get clues from the effect of the explosion.

"That's right." Domeric nodded.

Currently, there are only two weapons developed using "Shenhuo".

One is a "bronze cannon", and the other is an "explosive package" placed in a sealed sarcophagus.

The former is suitable for defending the city, and the latter is suitable for blowing up the city wall.

But they are not suitable for field battles!

After all, the sarcophagus "explosive pack" had the effect of collapsing the city wall in the "Battle of Harrenhal".

The record of the "Bronze Cannon" is hard to describe.

After all, the imagination is rich and the reality is skinny.

After all, the power of the six-pounder cannon is not as good as that of the twelve-pounder cannon. The power gap between the two is almost a "qualitative change".

The huge stone wall cannot be destroyed by blast, and it is inconvenient to maneuver in the field. Even if it is transported by giants, one cannon can only kill a few knights. At first, it can scare people and horses with the loud noise. Later, Tywin's army gets used to it, and they just respond. Something happened...

As such.

The "Bronze Cannon" was completely useless and could only be thrown away by Domeric in the Golden Teeth City to defend the city.

Therefore, Domilik urgently needs a new weapon for "field combat".

In previous history, after gunpowder was invented, it took thousands of years before cold weapons were completely eliminated.

The formula of one is not pure enough, and the corresponding weapon manufacturing process of the two cannot keep up.

Domeric's "divine fire" formula has been improved many times and has basically reached the level of black gunpowder in the previous life.

But the weapon manufacturing process has indeed never been good.

The four bronze cannons that had previously been cast with "heavy money" each weighed a full 2000 pounds.

A six-pounder cannon weighs 2000 pounds. Is it easy to imagine how heavy a twelve-pounder cannon would be?

If you upgrade further, not only will it be difficult to cast, but the gun body will also be more likely to produce scum and bubbles, which will greatly reduce the safety and overall performance.

Add to this the high cost of bronze cannon.

Even if Domeric had the money-attracting tool of "iron trade", it would still be difficult to afford it.

Although he was unwilling to do so, from a pragmatic point of view, Domeric suppressed the idea of ​​continuing to upgrade the artillery.

He has always overlooked one point. Even without relying on the barrel, gunpowder itself is an extremely terrifying weapon.

Thus, the "Flying Thunder Cannon" was born.

Domeric pointed to the cylinder on the ground and introduced it to Wilfield:

"The latest weapon of the Gushanling Foundry, I call it the 'Flying Thunder Cannon'."

The so-called "flying thunder cannon" is actually a kind of "explosive package" projectile device.
