After a boring battle, Chen Cheng said disappointedly: "It's too slow. Don't you have any more powerful moves?"
Everyone watching the battle could also see that the situation was one-sided. Every move of the knight was simple and clear, powerful and powerful, but if it could not hit the enemy, no matter how ferocious the attack was, it would be useless. Those soldiers were all
They were on tenterhooks, while the others laughed. It was a pleasure for them to see a knight in such a miserable state.
The knight was already very tired. Wearing armor and wielding a long sword was a very tiring task. Being unable to hit the enemy made him even more irritable. "Damn you, come and fight me head-on if you have the guts, like
What kind of man is he running around like a rabbit?”
Chen Cheng laughed, "That's as you wish." He swung his feet and rushed into the enemy's air superiority circle. The scimitar in his left hand twisted away the knight's long sword. The scimitar in his right hand swung out and cut off the chain on the knight's neck.
On the armor. "Chi", the blade of the blade rubbed against the iron piece, sputtering out a long string of sparks, and some blood flew out.
The knight was hit hard and fell forward a few steps, finally stabilizing his body. It turned out that the knife just used only ordinary human strength. After cutting through the chain armor, it also cut through the flesh and cut into the bones. However,
Although the scimitar was good for chopping, it had no piercing ability. In addition, the force used was only ordinary human strength, so this blow did not decapitate him.
A soldier came forward to help the knight up and check his injuries. After the knight stood still, his face became very pale. He looked at Chen Cheng angrily and said unwillingly: "Drizzt, you win! Take it.
Well, everything I have is yours!"
The long sword was thrown to the ground. He reached out to take off the armor on his body, but Chen Cheng stopped him. "What do I need from you? Do you have any money? If you do, it will all belong to me!"
The knight couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Swords, armor, and war horses were only valuable things. How many silver deer could he carry with him? But this was exactly what he wanted, so when he took out all the money on his body, he still had a long
I breathed a long sigh of relief. Being able to keep my weapons and armor was a great thing.
The people watching all cheered, "Dizzt! Drizzt!" No matter who wins, they will feel very happy, but there are still some flaws. Although the winner is determined, life and death are not determined.
.It would be nice to cut off that knight’s head.
Chen Cheng sheathed his sword, grabbed the enemy's money bag, reached in and grabbed a handful without looking, and sprinkled it on the surrounding people. Now, their cheers became even more enthusiastic. Alas, the matter of throwing coins,
Everyone really likes it, no matter which world they are in.
After establishing a reputation near Summer Hall, the road ahead became much easier. Thanks to word-of-mouth among the people, "Twisted Fate" has become a warrior who can be compared with King Robert.
When I saw the guy riding a white horse with two swords at his waist, I felt a little scared.
When he arrived at Fort Felwood, his reputation was already very loud. No one wanted to provoke such a mercenary who was highly skilled in martial arts and didn't have much money. But at this time, no one paid attention to a Dornishman. Everyone was paying attention to him.
Discussing another thing.
"Renly is dead!"
Near Storm's End, Renly Baratheon, who had an army of one hundred thousand, was murdered in his tent under the protection of the Rainbow Guard. Renly Baratheon was more popular than the taciturn and inhumane
Stannis is much better. Everyone says that he is very similar to King Robert twenty years ago. The lords and nobles of the Stormlands are very optimistic about him and are willing to fight under his command. The Rose of Highgarden
And is willing to kneel before him and obey King Renly's command.
After Renly claimed to be king, he gave an order, and more than 50,000 people came to his command. The Tyrell family, the guardians of the Reach, also came to his side. King Renly, who saw the extraordinary handsomeness, was about to lead
With a powerful army to attack King's Landing, who knew he would suddenly die? As soon as Renly died, his army immediately dispersed, and most of them fell to Stannis Baratheon on the spot and declared himself the new king.
loyal subjects.
However, there are also many people who refuse to surrender to Stannis and return to their castles with their armies, such as the Knight of Flowers, Matus Rowan, Randyll Tarly, Countess Oakheart, etc. These people may
They are loyal followers of Renly, or they come from the Reach. After Renly's death, they still refused to serve Stannis.
In addition, Ser Cortanai, the acting lord of Storm's End Castle, is also a problem before Stannis. This knight has sworn allegiance to the Baratheon family. He controls Storm's End Castle and does not refuse to pay Stannis any favors.
Ness Baratheon knelt, but made one condition: King Robert's bastard son Edric Storm be pardoned.
In response, Stannis rudely refused, "My brother's bastard son must be delivered into my hands!"
There is a red-robed witch from Asshai beside Stannis, who can use all kinds of vicious, or magical spells. But those spells are very evil and require the blood of the king to cast them. In other words, every time
To use the spell, you need to sacrifice a Baratheon or a blood descendant of another king.
In order to continue to possess the power of the Lord of Light, Stannis needs more people with the blood of the Baratheon family. He designated the boy named Edric Storm, and it’s easy to know what he wants to do.
.
This is a very ridiculous thing. Stannis, who always claimed to be impartial and selfless and strictly abiding by the law, actually wanted to burn all his nephews and nieces to death in order to continue to use the Lord of Light's evil spells. He murdered
Killing his own brother Renly is a despicable act in every sense of the word. How dare such a person say that he is impartial and selfless?
But double standards have been around since ancient times, so it’s not surprising. For example, the lighthouse is an old double standard, isn’t it?
Stannis rejected Ser Cortanai's offer, and Ser Cortanai refused to hand over Storm's End.
Chen Cheng stayed near Felwood for two days and heard that Stannis had obtained tens of thousands of troops and was besieging Storm's End. He knew that Storm's End would fall soon, but others did not think so.
"Drizzt, your swords are very powerful, but you don't have enough knowledge. Storm's End cannot be defeated by relying on a large number of people."
Chen Cheng knew something about this. When Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark rebelled against the Targaryen rule, Robert took all the troops out to fight, and there were only a few left in Storm's End.
The old, weak, sick and disabled. When the enemy came with tens of thousands of troops, Stannis was able to defend Storm's End with just a handful of old, weak, sick and disabled.
The walls of the castle built on the edge of the cliff are so high and thick that it cannot be taken down by an army using cold weapons. Storm's End is one of the strongest castles in the Seven Kingdoms. The castle is surrounded by thick outer walls.
Surrounded by a wall, the thickest part is a hundred feet high and forty feet thick, and the seaside side is about eighty feet thick. The city wall consists of two layers of rock and a sandwich of sand and gravel.
The wall is a smooth arc, and the stones are so compact that not even a breath of wind can get in. The wall facing the sea is one hundred and fifty feet higher than the sea. One foot is about one-third of a meter. Storm's End Castle
It is casually thirty meters high and more than ten meters thick. Although it cannot be compared with those majestic cities in ancient China in terms of grandeur, such a small and strong city is the most difficult to attack.
Storm's End itself is a huge tower with strong battlements on the top, making it look like a huge spiked fist rising into the sky from a distance to defy the enemy. The tower is so huge that the inside
The barn, barracks, armory, hall and lord's chambers combined are more than adequate. The stone of the city walls has a spell woven into it. The water side of the castle is built on a cliff overlooking the sea, with a barred gate allowing passengers to pass through.
The waterway reaches below the castle.
When Storm's End was besieged, people outside could not get in, and people inside could not break out. Stannis and others were so hungry that they were dizzy. Even the rats were eaten cleanly, and they even started to eat people. Still.
Davos Seaworth used his smuggling ship to transport a load of onions into the castle through the gate, thus preventing everyone in the castle from starving to death.
Davos was also named the Onion Knight by Stannis because of that contribution. However, when Storm's End was besieged, Stannis was the one defending it, but now he has become the siege party.
No one knows better than Stannis how strong Storm's End is, but he still has to get Edric.
"That's not necessarily the case," Chen Cheng sat on a bench in the tavern and said while drinking: "Renly has an army of one hundred thousand, so why not just die? Even though the walls of Storm's End are strong, they may not be able to protect that man.
The venerable Sir Cortanai."
"How about we make a bet?"
"What are you betting on? Oh, I'm going to King's Landing soon. Even if you lose, I won't get the prize."
"Ah! You must be the loser!" A mercenary with messy hair and beard shouted: "Stannis will never be able to capture that castle! Storm's End has never been captured!"
"I didn't say Stannis could capture Storm's End," Chen Cheng said loudly, "but he can still get it!"
"Sir Cortanay will not surrender! Most of those noble knights are cowards, but Cortanay is not! His bones are harder than rocks. If he says he won't surrender, he will never surrender!"
"What if he dies suddenly?"
"Why did he die suddenly...Eh, you mean?"
Although most of the people in the tavern were rude, there were also smart ones who quickly understood what "Drizzt" meant.
"Witching, Stannis is using witchcraft!"
"Yes, otherwise, how could King Renly die without any explanation?"
Although Renly died, many people still miss him. "If Stannis can really use witchcraft, then he won't really be able to break into King's Landing and sit on the Iron Throne, right?"
"That lunatic Stannis? Damn, I heard that he now believes in the Lord of Light who likes to burn people. Even the Seven Gods were burned by him. How can he sit on the Iron Throne? That sow can climb a tree.
!”
"Hahaha, I don't think Stannis can be king either!"
Except for a few loyal subordinates and the red-robed witch Melisandre with ulterior motives, almost no one likes Stannis. In the eyes of most people, Stannis is a madman who has mastered witchcraft. Now
There is another extremely dangerous madman with an army of tens of thousands.
