Chapter 218 Blood Gate and Eagle's Nest City

As the number of travelers decreased sharply, a carriage could put everyone in. Mrs. Stark, Sir Rodlick and Tyrion Lannister sat in the carriage, who were nobles, and such treatment was a routine, so no one was talking about it. Zhao Mai and the minstrel Marion were sitting in the driver's position in front of the car, Savre sat on the roof facing back, and Bolon rode back and forth on horseback.

Finally, he walked out of the foggy area, his vision became wider, and the possibility of ambushing and sneak attacks became smaller and smaller. However, Zhao Mai and others still did not dare to take it lightly. The team's size was more than half smaller than before. If he encountered the same danger as before, the difficulty of dealing with it was equivalent to at least four times higher.

Everyone was worried and scared. Except for Zhao Mai, only he knew in his heart that even if he encountered thousands of troops, as long as he hid in the car, there would be no danger. Even if the dragon came, he could let the car escape underground and avoid dragon flames. The dragon here used flames to burn Herenburg for seven days and seven nights, burning through the earth... It is probably impossible.

The ease and freedom he showed was unfathomable to others. Everyone was observing him, just like observing unknown wild animals. This feeling made Zhao Mai very uncomfortable. Maybe in the early days of reform and opening up, those foreigners walking on the streets and being watched by onlookers were like this? It is true that everyone is very polite, but who wants to be watched by curious eyes?

Fortunately, the Blood Gate finally appeared in front of you, which means that the Eagle Nest City is not far away. The Blood Gate is a solid fortification, built on the only road leading to the Eagle Nest City from the Mingyue Mountains. This is the exit of a canyon, which can allow four knights to ride shoulder-to-shoulder. The mountain walls on both sides of the canyon are rugged and almost impossible to climb. A long city wall and arrow tower are also built at the top, which can cover the entire canyon from a high height. A solid metal gate blocks the exit of the canyon, and there is another one not far away. Eight arrow towers protect the area near the gate. Even if there are 100,000 troops, there will be no more than six people rushing up at one time. The entire canyon is filled with only a few hundred people, but it is just two rounds of archery.

The Blood Gate has never been captured, and this is a nightmare for all infantry and cavalry. However, when the "Conqueror" Aegon took his dragon to destroy other castles from the air, the ruler of the Eagle Nest City clearly understood the weakness of the Blood Gate, so he led the crowd to surrender before Aegon arrived, which saved a catastrophe in the East. Of course, Zhao Mai could also easily destroy this gate, and the direction he could use was even more difficult to defend, that is, underground.

But today he didn't have to worry about this, because the team that responded to Mrs. Stark had arrived, and it turned into a welcoming gate instead of a fortress. The young Sir Donal led a team of cavalry holding up the blue-bottomed white crescent falcon flag of the Elin family, waiting before the Blood Gate.

Mrs. Stark didn't care about greetings and asked them to send Sir Rodlick to Eagle Nest City immediately, where the bachelors are proficient in medical skills and may have a chance to protect his legs. Zhao Mai thought about it and had already come here, it would be good to go and see the bachelor's medical skills. In some aspects, the knowledge of the city is magic. They can even make active corpses, and they can completely rely on simple tools and some potions to complete it. It is really magical.

"It's good that someone leads the way. No matter how fast you ride, I can keep up." Zhao Mai sat in the car and said, "I want to see the skills of a bachelor's degree and improve my medical skills."

Caitlin nodded and agreed. As long as Mike asked for something, it would be easy to deal with. If he didn't ask for anything, it would be really difficult to deal with. "Sir Donald, these guys are all the righteous men I met on the road. Please please make sure to make peace and allow them to pass through the Blood Gate."

"You know the guard of the Blood Gate, Sir Brinden Tully, your uncle, I don't think he will refuse your request." Sir Donald said.

"I miss him very much," said Mrs. Stark. "Take us there."

Due to Sir Rodlick's injury, all etiquette was simplified, which made Zhao Mai breathe a sigh of relief. He did not like red tape, and even the etiquette brought by sincere feelings was a bit complicated. In addition to controlling the direction of the car, his attention was all over the surrounding scenery. After several days of depressing days of the canyon, passing through the blood gate means coming to a new world.

The peaks suddenly unfolded on both sides, and a green field was located in the central valley of the stretching mountains. This is a peaceful and quiet place. The sweet springs on the mountain form rivers, constantly nourishing the fertile black soil in the basin. Hundreds of lakes dotted on the field like mirrors of big and small, so whether it is planted or raised, this place is the most suitable place. For a long time, the residents of the East have been protected by the mountains and enjoying eternal harvest and tranquility. They deeply love this land where they can live and work in peace and contentment, and are unwilling to interfere with the surging winds and clouds of the outside world.

The entire basin slopes eastward, stretching to the seaside, ending between steep cliffs. That side is equally easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Longbow Hall guards the only beach to land, the strong castle and the loyal lord ensure the safety of the entire valley.

Eagle Nest City is on the north side of this valley, and you can see it at a glance from the Blood Gate, but it is not that simple to get there. The group needs to descend first, enter the fields, pass through the area occupied by barley, wheat and corn, pass through three small villages filled with laughter, and then go up along the rugged mountain road, and then go to Eagle Nest City. It is a castle made of seven towers, located on the highest peak here, a dangerous land called the "Giant Gun". The top of the mountain is about 1,500 meters away from the ground, and there are only two roads to go up: either slowly walk up from the rugged spiral stairs, or be hung up by a basket.

"Sir Rodlick, I'm afraid you can only be hung up by the basket, but I hope you can finally walk down the stairs. From there, the most beautiful view is the one who speaks. "The person who speaks is Sir Bringen Tully. He is a weather-beaten old man with white hair and wrinkles gathering in the corners of his eyes and mouth. When he saw Caitlin, he called her "Little Kate" and was delighted to see this lovely niece again, so he kept laughing, with the kind of heartfelt joy. "After going down the mountain and entering the valley, you can run wildly. I wonder, can your car hold on?"

"Don't worry, Sir Blackfish."

"Do you know me?" The old man looked at Zhao Mai and found no badges or logos that could indicate his identity.
