Chapter 342 Bolton
Duke Tywin fell from the sky in Lannister Harbor and smashed through the roof and wooden floors of the two-story building. When he fell into the living room on the first floor, he was already bloody and mixed with rubble and dust. At first, no one in the house owner's family recognized who the body was.
When the members of the port garrison arrived, the owner's family was still trying to compensate.
To compensate, you have to find the main owner first. The garrison team members carried the body from the rubble to the street, poured a few buckets of water to clean up the appearance, and found that things might be a big deal.
The gorgeous noble robe, the elderly bald head, the pure gold lion-shaped ring on his fingers, everyone looked at Kaiyan City, which stood at the top of the cliff in the distance, and the stone thrower raised high on the top of the tower still stood. Duke Tywin was murdered!
Because of the funding of Kai Rock City, the Lannister Port Guards are well-trained and combat-capable than the King's Golden Robe and the Old Town Guards. The supreme commander and financial lord are Tywin, Duke of the West.
Now that Tywin is murdered, several garrison captains have allowed people to restrain their bodies and immediately sound the alarm in the city. News of Tywin's murder spread throughout the port city. Thousands of garrison members and hundreds of Lannister family picked up weapons and began to assemble, and went to Kaiyan City to swear to capture the murderer.
When the brigade ran to Kaiyan City, he found that the city gate was blocked by rocks, and some people slowly cleared the gravel. After the sun set, people who returned to the port found a long wooden ladder and climbed up the city wall first.
There was a strange scene in the square in the city. The red-bottom golden lion flags that were originally hung high in various parts of the castle were all pulled off and thrown on the ground. Food, goods and carts for banquets were scattered all over the ground. Countless corpses were lying randomly, with no blood on the ground.
After hundreds of people gathered on the wall, they began to search the castle. Tywin's younger brother Kevon, Kevon's four-year-old daughter Jenna, Tywin's sister Gina, brother-in-law Aimmon Frey, and Frey's children. Some members of the Lannister family were neatly lying side by side on the floor of the hall, with their bodies shriveled and white.
Vampire massacre the city! Several garrison officers ordered the withdrawal of the castle immediately, set up temporary defenses outside the city to surround the castle and block the news, and then make a decision after the Western Knights return.
A few days later, the knights who returned from Hejiandi were looking forward to the warm welcome from their relatives and friends in their hometowns, but what they were waiting for was the army that was ready to fight.
"No~~~" After the exchange between the two sides, William Lannister and his younger brother Martin heard the bad news and shouted and rushed into the city.
Cavalry commander Adam Malbrand took over the command of the army outside the city in the name of James and led the knights into the city.
James, who was still confused, walked into Kaiyan City the last one. One by one, was carried from the castle to the square. Too many people died, and the knights and soldiers could only carry them to the square, and the corpses of the nobles were temporarily parked in the hall.
Before James could enter the hall, his ears filled with crying and lamenting.
Looking at the bodies of relatives all over the place and their crying cousins, James had a bad feeling in his heart. Adam was holding a small notebook and counting casualties. James ran over and grabbed his shoulders and asked, "Where is my father? Where is Tywin?"
"Jame!" Davon Lannister, wearing armor, pierced James' arm next to him. "We have told you three times, this is the fourth time. Duke Tywin is dead! The body is being transported to Kai Rock City!"
"I've said it four times." James staggered and walked a few steps: "How are your father, Steve? Daphon."
"My father is very good! He is lying on the ground waiting for me to hold a funeral for him!" Dafeng said angrily. If James was crazy at this time, no one would refute him.
"Funeral? In such a huge Kaiyan City, hundreds of people were gone, and only a few of us were left." James seemed to remember and muttered to himself as he looked at the busy crowd.
"James!" Dafeng roared, and the attention in the whole hall was attracted, and everyone looked at James, with disgust and hatred in his eyes, but no sympathy.
"You are now the guardian of the West, Duke of Kaiyan City, and the Shield of Port Lannis! You must take responsibility for protecting the alive people, organize the army to capture the murderer, and avenge the dead relatives! You are not standing here like a piece of wood and constantly asking the same question!"
Joffrey left a letter on the main seat of the hall, which stated that he led the vampire to kill everyone in Kai Rock City and took his mother Cersei as a slave. In the future, Joffrey will become the king of vampires, so let James, the father, wait and see!
After the letter was discovered by the garrison, he knew that the matter was of great importance and did not make it public. He only handed it to him personally after James came back. But James had no intention of reading the letter, so he handed it to his cousin Dafeng.
The king was green, and the chaotic, and the son gave birth to a child. He pretended to die and changed his name more than ten years ago. All Joffrey himself shook it out! Now everyone who split the main vein knows it. The rest of Lannister's main vein is dead, and now only James can bear these infatuations.
James lowered his head. When Joffrey snatched the sword and cut off his hands, James once wanted to ask for help to the army immediately, but in the end he didn't say it. After that, he met with Vette to face the questioning, James softened again. Facing Vette, even if he and Cersei's favorite son would not survive.
Unexpectedly, I was soft-hearted twice and finally turned the entire Kaiyan City into a coffin, and the entire family's main vein members were almost dead.
But this is also very hateful, and I dare not say anything about letting Joffrey go!
Not only the Lannister family lives in Kaiyan City, but every lord in the West has family members working in the castle. Once they learn that they had let Joffrey go, they caused this situation. Even the Duke of the West, the angry family members would raise their swords and chop them up, colluding with enemies and betraying humans, and ten James was not enough to cut them.
With extreme regret and entanglement in her heart, James began to breathe violently, sweating all over her body, and instantly wet her shirt, her legs became weak and she sat on the ground. No one came to help him.
"James!" Daphon came over and shook James' shoulders.
James raised his head and said numbly: "Davon, let Lannister Port send a raven to inform the king and nobles that Cay Rock City was attacked and Tywin was dead."
Dafeng nodded: "I have notified the nobles from all over the West before and asked them to attend our victory banquet. Now I want to write a letter to let them go back to protect the territory?"
At this time, the young William came over, his eyes still had a little redness and swollen after crying: "No, it's too late for them to go back. The collective celebration will be changed to a collective funeral. Let them come over quickly and inform all the locals to defend the castle with the castle."
"I understand." Dafeng Wuyi is okay. Now that he has encountered such a big thing, he is confused for a while. Fang Cun doesn't know what to do. He is as eager as other returning knights to take revenge. Fortunately, William calmed down.
Seeing Dafeng run out, William's twin brother Martin comes over again: "How are you?"
"No, Jenna hasn't seen the toy I promised to give her." William turned to look to the side of the hall.
William's four-year-old sister Jenna, whose little body was already dry, had her hands on her chest, and she held a small wood carving painted red and white dragon in her hand. Jenna had never seen a dragon before. When William followed James to Hejiandi, her sister asked him to bring a dragon back. William agreed to her casually. She happened to meet Vette in the military camp of Hejiandi. He had the opportunity to observe Aoda Weiying up close. On the way back to the battle, she made a wood carving according to the dragon she remembered and gave it to her sister.
Martin pulled William's cuff: "I heard that Duke Witt was hovering over Kai Rock City on a dragon, and she should have seen her sister."
The two of them looked at their sister's body and fell silent.
"What are you doing! You can't drink now!"
"My whole family is dead. Do you have any control over who you are?"
The castle was full of knights and soldiers, constantly carrying the remains of relatives and friends. Everyone's mentality became more and more irritable, and they began to quarrel after a little friction.
William looked at his younger brother Martin: "Who is controlling the army now?"
Martin: "It was the cavalry commander Adam Malbran, who controlled the army in the name of James."
"Look at your current cousin James, and then look at these gradually irritable knights and soldiers. Can James control the army?" William pointed to the side.
Martin looked over and James was sitting on the floor of the hall in a daze.
William whispered: "It's a time of crisis, and the command of the army must be in the hands of the Lannister family! Martin, go out and find those officers now."
"But I don't know how to tell the officers." Martin was a little timid.
William thought for a while: "You go and ask Dafeng for help."
A few days later, the nobles who arrived at Kaiyan City joined the preparations for the funeral. The funeral was held according to the traditions of the Western Regions. The priests of the Seven Gods recited prayers for the dead one by one, and Tywin and others put them into the family cemetery under the castle. The only thing that is fortunate is that the vampires sucked the blood and the corpses were not easily decayed, saving the trouble of being dealt with by the silent sisters, so that other dead nobles could be transported back to the territory by the family members who came here.
Some ordinary knights' few assets were taken back by the Lannister family and they could also get a wooden coffin. Soldiers without family members were transported outside the city and dug a big hole in the woods to bury them.
The Lannister family's knights after the funeral
~~~
The Duke of the West was killed by a vampire, and the entire Kaiyan City was slaughtered. Naturally, Witt could not continue to stay in Winterfell.
"Ed, the western border is surrounded by mountains, which is very conducive to the physically strong vampires hiding. I have to go there."
Ed: "You are the chief division commander and Duke of Terosi. You can't solve everything, right?"
"There are too few magicians in the Western Region, and there are not enough people to use monitoring towers. It is necessary for ordinary people to find vampires at all." Witt sighed.
In order to help Robert vent his anger, Witt and Renli, a magic apprentice from the West, were confiscated, and privately interfered with the enrollment of the Xuecheng Magister School, resulting in no magician in the West, and magic was naturally not taken seriously in the West. Only a few magicians who graduated from the Xuecheng City were hired.
Vampires have exploded now. Not to mention the large magic monitoring tower, there are not many people who can use simple detection items. Lan Li helps to clear vampires in the river bay, but for some reason, the progress is very slow. The Western Knights have experience in dealing with vampires, but they are limited to siege and defense. Once the vampire chooses to escape, they cannot catch up at all, and Vartre has to go there himself.
"Witt, how many more people can be accommodated in Terosi?" Ed looked at Waitt and turned back to the castle, and asked quickly.
Witt: "In addition to one-third of the disputed land, I also bought the entire Mill, the entire city and the land to which I belong! It's enough to move all the people from the North."
"I heard that Mill City is in chaos and the situation is difficult to control." said the Earl of Mandalay in White Harbor.
"Do you need help?" Earl Luce Bolton of the Horror Fort also followed.
"When I finish dealing with the vampire matter, calculate the time, the situation in Mill will be settled." Witt smiled and looked at the two of them. Mandalay had a friendship with him and freight voice, which was somewhat due to his sincere desire to help. Luce Bolton, the Horror Fort has nothing to do with him, what kind of good intentions do he have?
Ed: "The weather in the north is getting colder and colder. The day before yesterday you talked about the benefits of going to Tyrossi at the banquet. Later, I discussed it with the lords and decided to increase the number of immigrants next month."
Witt: "Don't talk about immigration, they are all from the North wherever they are! In addition to trading taxes, their captive tax is still yours." The biggest concern of these lords is that they are afraid that if people go to Witt, they will become Witt's people.
Bolton: "This is the best, I will make arrangements when I go back. Duke Witt will have to prepare a few more boats for me."
"It must be." Witt knew in his heart that these lords seemed harmonious on the surface, and the number of people immigrated each time was based on the agreed proportions. They were afraid that their people would leave and illegally plunder the materials by other lords. The northern area was cold and frozen, and when they were sued to Winterfell, they didn't know when they would get the ruling to get the materials back.
"I have already assigned the arrangements to Robb, Duke Ed, Earl of Mandalay, Earl of Burton. I will say goodbye first. I will treat you next time I meet you." After Witt said that, he went to Winterfell to change his clothes.
Not long after, Robb finished telling the story of the vampire and walked off the stage, preparing to order people to capture the female vampire on the guillotine.
Luce Bolton hurried to Robb: "Sir Robb, I wonder if I can lend me a female vampire? Horror Castle has always been circulating in various horror stories. Without this proof, I really can't convince those rude leaders."
"Lend it to you? What are you going to do?" Robb asked.
"I plan to bring the vampire into the city, and Sir Robb will read her guilt and, preferably, turn her into a monster, and scare those who are ignorant of the world. Of course, Sir Robb and the Knights will be borne by me." Luce Bolton's plan is more than that.
He already knew the news about the Night Watchman of the Black Castle. The female vampires are so charming and do not violate various legal oaths. This business can be done! He even thought that he could develop another group of vampires, regularly bleed them and then feed them mice, which would allow vampires to produce vampires ashes for a long time.
The first type of business is the largest customer in the Great Wall. I heard that they would raise a small spider for a large amount of supplies. From the north of the Horror Fort, they had to pass the Last Fireplace City. The Amber family was not very wealthy, and Bolton planned to corrupt them with money.
Robb: "Yes, we just came back from the Great Wall and set off after a few days of rest."
After receiving Robb's affirmative reply, Luce Bolton became more and more excited the more he thought about it. Both businesses have a broad market and can develop to a huge scale. He has begun to fantasize about becoming the richest man in the seven countries one day.
