"Strangle him!" White Knight pressed her sword with her right hand and stared coldly at the old professor who had a pale expression. "Do you know what you are doing? We were invited by the City of Knowledge to come here, stay under your roof, eat your salt and bread, and now we are your guests. What is the difference between the City of Knowledge's actions and Wade Frey's? "
"For the peace of the Seven Nations, for the welfare of millions of people, to reduce disputes and wars, although this method is not honorable, it is the simplest and most effective." Professor Perestan smiled bitterly.
"You … Idiot! The etiquette that has been passed down for thousands and thousands of years is the spiritual framework of the Westeros. The City of Knowledge should protect those beautiful traditions and values with all its might, not take the initiative to destroy the souls of the Seven Nations. "Barristan's eyes were spitting fire as he clenched his teeth.
Danny shook her head and sighed. "Not everyone can represent the Seven Nations and all the people. Think about it, professor, are you willing to be represented by Rat Chef and Wade Frey?
Maybe Rat Chef also shouted 'representing the justice of the Seven Nations' when he cooked the King of Andals, or maybe Wade Frey shouted 'to reduce disputes and wars between the Seven Nations' when he slaughtered the guests from the Northern Territory during the wedding banquet, just like you are now. "
"Because of you, Slave Bay and the Free City have been plagued by wars for years, and the people of the world are crying and wailing under the Dragon Flame. In the foreseeable future, the Seven Nations will definitely repeat the same mistake as Slave Bay. I am guilty, the City of Knowledge is guilty, I admit it, but we have reduced deaths and wars, we are not wrong!" Perestan's face was pale, but his gaze was firm.
"Is the Seven Nations very peaceful now? Music is broken, etiquette is broken, morality is lost, wars are endless, and the people have no way to make a living. " Barristan glanced at Danny and said bitterly, "Do you know why Her Majesty the Queen traveled thousands of miles from Slave Bay to the Westeros? To investigate the enemy's situation?
The nobles of the Seven Nations did not care about the fact that winter is coming and continued to play the game of power. Only Her Majesty the Queen cared about the safety of the people and was unwilling to start the Restoration War in winter.
When she found out that the Seven Nations did not prepare for summer grain storage, she did not care about the dangerous situation of Slave Bay being surrounded by enemies and brought the two dragons to the Westeros to investigate the people's situation.
You've seen it for yourself. She won the tournament with her strength, and even the professors of the City of Knowledge were impressed by her intelligence. She's concerned about the lives of the people, worried that they won't have enough to eat in the winter, worried about the terrible trade deficit that Robert created and the extravagant lifestyle of the nobles …
How could such a benevolent and wise king not be worthy of the Iron Throne? Is Lannister, who killed his husband, committed adultery with his brother, and usurped the Iron Throne, worthy of your love and respect? "
Dany rubbed her nose awkwardly. Her strengths were so obvious that even Barristan, who had never been a sycophant or a sycophant, had described them in plain language.
Didn't he see that the old doctor, who was unyielding and looked like a revolutionary martyr, also changed his expression and looked ashamed?
"Plop —" The old doctor was so ashamed that he prostrated himself on the ground.
"Be careful, there's something strange in the next room!" The old knight listened carefully, and his expression changed. "They've also set up an ambush with axemen on both sides —"
"Bam bam bam bam bam bam …" The sound of bowstrings was like thunder, and the sound was deafening even though they were separated by a brick wall.
It was accompanied by the dense sound of bowstrings. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk!"
Dozens of holes were instantly pierced through the wall, and the chairs and plates in the room were in a mess. Occasionally, there was the sound of metal clashing.
"Dragon Slaying Crossbow!"
The candle fell to the ground and went out. But in the dim moonlight that shone through the window, Dani could see that the narrow room was filled with crossbow bolts that were as thick as a thumb and as tall as a man. The bolts were made of fine iron.
Unlike the siege crossbows, although the crossbow bolts here were also made of solid metal, they were not cylindrical. They looked like elongated and twisted willow leaves.
"The thief is not dead yet!" Danny's scream reminded Perestan, who was hugging his head and lying on the ground. Then, the sound of arrows being loaded and bowstrings being pulled could be heard from both sides of the wall.
"Ah, I'm going to die —" Danny dragged out her voice and let out a shrill cry. Then, she dispelled her mental projection.
"Ssss —"
"Ssss —"
At the same time, the roar of the Megalosaurus could be heard from above the City of Knowledge.
Yes, when the red-nosed old professor was scooping soup for Danny, she sensed a slight danger and immediately entered the Dragon Spirit state. Blackie's soul clearly sensed the danger, and she began to summon the Megalosaurus.
When she talked to the old professor earlier, other than feeling indignant, she also wanted to stall for time. Although her main body had been hiding in the inn, Barristan could not give up!
"Ahhh, Your Majesty, you can't die!" The old knight also let out a dry cry. He swung his sword and destroyed the arrows and chairs blocking his way. He bent down and picked up the old professor from the ground. Without waiting for him to struggle and shout, he hit the back of his head with his sword and knocked the old man unconscious. He then picked up the fur cushion on the soft couch and wrapped it around the old man. He carried the old man on his shoulder and rushed to the door.
Uh, the old knight was observant and alert. He had already noticed the noise and the light of the torches outside the window. Jumping off the building was equivalent to walking into a trap.
"Boom!" When he reached the door, the old knight suddenly turned sideways and dodged a crossbow arrow that was as thick as a child's arm. He heard the sound of the crossbow being dragged outside the door.
"Bam bam bam!" After a few slashes, the old knight did not care. He lowered his head and rushed forward.
There was a crossbow the size of a treadmill outside the door. Two gray-robed scholars were turning the winch. One scholar was lying on top of it and loading the crossbow. There were twelve leather-armored soldiers around with crossbows. When they saw the old knight rushing out, the three scholars were scared and retreated. They shouted, "The thief is escaping. Shoot!"
"You're asking for it!" The old knight roared and cut off half the head of the scholar closest to him. He then turned around and swung his sword and cut two crossbowmen into four pieces.
"Thump, thump, thump, thump …" The crossbowmen did not miss a single shot. Almost all of them hit the old knight. There were also one or two arrows that hit the "Queen" on his shoulder. But what was shocking was that the arrows that hit the old knight only produced sparks and then bounced off.
"Ah, damn it. The armor-piercing arrows that Londo sold us are fake!" The general in blue armor threw away his crossbow and pulled out his sword while cursing. He shouted to his subordinates, "Use your sword and kill him!"
Facing the nine soldiers and the iron knight, the old knight did not dodge at all. He exchanged "injuries" for injuries. "Bam bam bam bam —"
"Ah ah ah ah —"
In the blink of an eye, the old knight was hit eight times. A series of sparks appeared on his body. The huge force only made him sway, but he also used a "spinning slash".
"Crash …" Four swordsmen were slashed, and three soldiers had their stomachs ruptured. They blankly held onto their intestines and fell to the ground. The general was wearing plate armor, and only a shallow scratch appeared on his lower abdomen.
"Damn Londo. Even the iron sword is fake …" A soldier lay on the ground and muttered his last words.
"Ah ah ah —" The general who escaped with his iron armor pointed at the old knight with a pale face. "Valleglia steel. He's wearing Valleglia steel armor!"
"His sword is so sharp! It's also Valleglia steel. "The scholar who was hiding far away reminded him.
The old knight ignored them. After breaking out of the encirclement, he immediately ran to the stairwell.
The whole process seemed long, but in fact, it only took two rounds. The old knight slashed three times, and it took no more than three seconds.
But just as he was about to rush to the third floor, a figure appeared beside him.
It was Danny!
She stopped him and said, "Don't go up. There's an ambush on the roof. The scholar knows about the spiritual connection between the Megalosaurus and the dragon rider. There are forty to fifty crossbows and at least two hundred crossbowmen."
"Which place has the least number of soldiers? I'll jump through the window." The old knight panted.
"No need. Wait here. I'll help you clean up the soldiers." Danny smiled mysteriously and disappeared again.
The old knight was puzzled. The next moment, there was a scream outside the building.
"The sun?"
"Seven Gods above, a sun has risen in the sky!"
"Ah, what's going on? Is it really the sun? But it's already ten at night. "
The old knight found the window in the stairwell and peeked out. But before he could see anything, the armored swordsman from before chased after him with six soldiers.
"Do you know who I am? I'm Barristan Myrcella. Get lost! "The old knight roared in annoyance.
"What, Sir Barristan? You're not spies sent by Tiemin Bay? " The seven of them were stunned. The general put down his crossbow and carefully walked forward. "Are you really Sir Barristan the Fearless? I'm Dax Norton, a knight under Count Haithar. I've met Sir Barristan a few times. Do you know me? "
"No." “
"Then, why don't you lift your visor and let me see?" Knight Norton suggested.
"Alright." The old knight took a few steps forward. Then …
* Chi — *
* Ding — *
Almost at the same time, the old knight thrust his sword towards the gap in the knight's throat. Norton also raised his hand and shot towards the old knight's eyes. Unfortunately, the old knight was already prepared and dodged the attack by ducking his head.
"You …" Knight Norton clutched at his bleeding throat and staggered backwards. He shook his head and said, "No, you … You're not … You're not Sir Barristan. He … He wouldn't be as … as shameless as you!"
"Heh, you're right. I'm not him." White Knight let out a long sigh and swung his sword, slicing Norton's throat and neck into two pieces. Norton's head flew seven to eight meters away and landed right in front of the other six soldiers who were still hesitating.
Blood spurted out and Norton's headless corpse fell to the ground. The old knight roared again, "Get lost!"
* Clang … * A swordsman dropped his crossbow and ran away. He was still shouting, "Lord Norton was killed by Sir Barristan!"
"I'm not … Sigh!" The old knight reached out his left hand in a daze as if he wanted to grab hold of something that had passed away. In the end, he could only sigh and shake his head.
At this moment, the soldiers surrounding the Steward's Pavilion became louder and louder. "The sun is setting!"
The old man didn't care about the archers downstairs. He hurriedly stuck his head out of the window and looked at the sky.
With just one glance, his eyes widened.
A dark red fireball the size of a small house was falling from the sky. Although it was just a fireball, it felt heavy as if a huge star was falling from the sky.
