When Erlu came up with the punishment for Karhold City, he didn't intend to carry it out himself. He thought that the Dragon Queen would ride her Dragon to Karhold City like before.
With three Megalosaurus, she had the ability to massacre a city.
Hence, no matter how harsh his punishment was, Karhold City wouldn't resist the Dragon Queen. Resistance would be useless.
He didn't expect the Dragon Queen to be so capable.
When Melisandre suggested that Sir Richard take the risk, he wasn't willing, but he didn't object.
He did not object because he truly believed that Karhold City had to be punished and killed as an example to others. He was reluctant because he was not stupid. He knew that it would be difficult for Richard to incite the people of Karhold City and the small nobles to rebel against Count Saigon with his glib tongue.
Hence, Erlu took a step back. He didn't want to kill everyone who participated in the sacrifice. He only wanted Richard to deceive Saigon and his wife into coming to Winterfell. Then, in front of all the nobles, they would be burned to death and sacrificed to the Light King.
The mission of deceiving Saigon and his wife into coming to Winterfell wasn't dangerous. If Saigon refused, Richard would fly back. At most, the mission would fail.
However, Richard's personality wasn't suitable for this mission.
If it was the Onion Knight, Saigon would most likely be deceived into coming to Winterfell.
"My wife just gave birth. She can't bear the pain of traveling thousands of miles." Saigon's face was pale, but his tone was sincere.
Hmm, Saigon received Richard with the etiquette of a King's envoy.
When Richard suggested bringing Saigon and his wife to Winterfell, Saigon didn't fly into a rage.
"I can leave Karhold City with Sir Richard, but can my wife stay in the Castle to recuperate?" Saigon pleaded softly after explaining his situation.
If Danny was here, she would hesitate for a while before agreeing reluctantly. She would even say, "Your wife is weak. Don't frighten her. You have to explain to her that the trial at Winterfell won't take long. Even if you're punished by King Stannis, you'll return within three days. "
Richard's face stiffened, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes. He laughed coldly and said, "That's not up to you. King Stannis made it clear that he wants the both of you to go to Winterfell for trial."
Hearing this, the deep coldness hidden in Sai Gong's gray eyes turned into undisguised killing intent. "It seems that he is determined to kill everyone? I'm already willing to die, so why won't you let my wife go?
Even the last Ka Stark was not spared. I'm afraid the Thurnes will also be dealt with. "
Sai Gon's face was pale and bloodless due to the loss of his right arm. He looked like an evil spirit.
Richard was stunned and blurted out, "You know?"
"Hehehe …" Sai Gun chuckled. "From the first time I saw you, I knew my ending.
Because the way you look at me is like you're looking at a dead person.
However, I thought that as long as I could protect my family, it wouldn't be a problem for me to take the blame.
After all, I did something I shouldn't have done. After all, the Dragon Queen is so terrifying, I don't dare to rebel.
But now, you've already decided to kill everyone, so do I still need to be afraid of her? "
"F * ck!" Richard hurriedly pulled down his helmet, turned around, and rushed out of the door.
As he ran, he shouted his pterosaur's name.
His pterosaur had been hovering in the sky.
Sai Gon slowly got up and followed behind the Red Heart Knight with a sneer on his face.
"Hiss —" Before Richard could rush out of the castle's living room, he heard the pterosaur's shrill howl coming from the courtyard.
He immediately understood that there was an ambush in the courtyard.
Helplessly, he could only shout for the pterosaur to leave.
Not long after, the howl gradually rose and faded away.
When Richard ran to the stone steps outside the door, he could no longer see his pterosaur.
The next moment, more than a dozen shield-bearers lined up in a shield wall, pressing in from all directions. With a few bangs, the knight who was swinging his sword was knocked down to the ground.
"I ate your bread." The Red Heart Knight who was pressed to the ground struggled to raise his head, glaring at Sai Gong.
It was also because they were in the snow outside the castle that Sai Gong, who had rushed over, immediately handed him a bread dipped in salt, so Richard was willing to leave the pterosaur's back and follow him into the castle.
Sai Gong nodded and sighed. "I understand the guest's rights and am willing to abide by them. But the guest's rights not only restrict the host, but also require the guest to not have any ill intentions towards the host.
From the moment you used a clumsy lie to deceive Yali and me into going to Winterfell to die, you are no longer protected by the guest's rights. "
"Killing me won't do you any good." Richard didn't want to die.
"Tell me, what does Stannis plan to do with me?"
The pockmarked knight pursed his lips, stubbornly not saying a word.
He didn't want to die, but he also didn't want to betray his lord.
"Hiss —" A sword flashed, and the knight's head rolled to the ground, dragging a line of blood. His face was facing upwards, and he blinked blankly, dead.
"Ah, Chief, you killed him?" A Thurn soldier on the side was shocked and puzzled. "Killing him will infuriate the Red Heart King!"
"Clang!" Sai Gong threw the blood-stained longsword on the ground, stepped on Richard's head with the sole of his shoe, and rolled it half a circle so that Richard's face was facing downwards.
"Hang the head and the torso on the flagpole at the top of the watchtower." Sai Gong's eyes flashed as he coldly said.
The surrounding Thurn guards were motionless, their eyes wide open as they looked at their chief in horror.
The bearded Sir Jaime stepped out and said worriedly, "Earl, that will offend Stannis."
Jaime was a productive knight, a vassal of Karhold City.
"I just want to infuriate him!"
Sai Gong's eyes were cold as he looked down at the town in the darkness outside the castle. He said in a deep voice, "Stannis only has Pterosaurs, and Pterosaurs can't breathe fire.
How many Wildfire Bombs can he bring with him?
But his bombing will make everyone in Karhold City afraid, and fear will make the people of the Northern Territory completely forget my identity as a Thurn.
Only if the people of the Northern Territory and the Thurn Kingdom unite by my side, we will have a chance to survive this long and difficult night. "
Sir Jaime was shocked. He didn't expect this barbarian earl to be so shrewd.
But he didn't feel disgusted, because Sai Gong was doing this for the sake of Karhold City.
"If we attract the Dragon Queen …" he said worriedly.
"No, the Dragon Queen has already punished me last time. She won't come again, at least not personally." Sai Gong gritted his teeth as he felt the dull pain in his right shoulder.
"But Winterfell won't let me go. Only the Megalosaurus has the ability to carry out the punishment, we have to be careful …" Sai Gong's eyes flashed with a calculating light as he lowered his head to instruct his trusted aide.
Sai Gong could be considered a hero to be able to become the earl of the Northern Territory from a barbarian leader. Just as he had guessed, Wings of Death came the next morning.
Unfortunately …
.....
Six days ago, in the Black Castle of the Great Wall, the Dragon Queen gave Sir Richard a "ticket to Heaven".
The pockmarked knight didn't want it, but the Dragon Queen had just given him the title of "Devil Hunter". He couldn't refuse, so he hung the "ticket" around his neck casually.
If he had to take a bath or change his underwear after a while, the pockmarked knight might have thrown away the "Blessing of the Holy Mother".
Fortunately, only six days had passed and he hadn't had time to take a bath.
The moment he was beheaded by Sai Gong, the small pouch on his chest started to heat up, and a faint golden light flickered inside.
Under normal circumstances, when the "ticket to Heaven" was activated, the Stranger's divine power would automatically bring the pockmarked knight's soul to Heaven.
This was the program set in the rune.
Just like the Town Portal Scroll in the game.
But what was brought back wasn't the body, but the soul of the dead.
But the first time the "ticket to Heaven" was used, there was a "System Failure". Just as Richard died, his soul was captured by another Death Demon God.
In the end, the "ticket to Heaven" was just a divine spell of the Stranger, and it was a very simple and low-level divine spell. It was natural that he couldn't snatch it from a Demon God.
But the failure of the Stranger's divine spell alarmed Blackie, and he took the initiative to contact Danny's dragon spirit.
Danny turned into a Stranger and followed the "Traction Line" that the "ticket to Heaven" left on Richard's soul, and instantly came to Kaho City — similar to Kui Xi's soul projection.
She saw the pockmarked knight's tragic fate.
In the gray world of death, Richard's soul was bound by shadow chains and was about to cross a gray, foggy river and fall into the hands of the Shadow Demon on the other side.
"No, Holy Mother of Mercy, I have the Atonement Scroll!" Richard struggled and howled.
"Stop struggling, Richard, this is your fate!" Suddenly, the shadow chain wrapped around the pockmarked knight's chest revealed an extremely distorted and elongated face.
It was like a rubber doll in the hands of a naughty child. It was pulled and elongated, and the face was pulled out of shape.
But when Richard lowered his head, he immediately recognized the identity of the face.
"Sir Gaudi?" His eyes widened in horror as he cried out in disbelief.
"It's me, Richard, stop struggling, this is your fate." Gaudi Farlin's eyes were filled with hatred and mockery.
It was as if the giant killer was filled with hatred for his former good friend, and was happy to see him in this state.
"Aren't you dead? Killed by Big Jon's sword? "Richard's strength in his struggle weakened as he asked in a daze.
"Yes, I'm dead. Lahlo's believers will enter his kingdom after death. I went, and then my soul was forged into the soul chains that bound you," Gaudi Farlin said sorrowfully.
"Ah, how can this be, how can this be …" Richard could not accept this reality. He shook his head and begged with tears in his eyes, "Gaudi, we've been friends for decades, let me go. I want to go to Heaven, I can feel the call from Heaven. "
"Go to Heaven?" Gaudi Farlin's eyes became extremely venomous. "You want to go to Heaven? If you go to Heaven, what will happen to me? How can I be happy if I don't see you suffer an even worse fate? "
Richard felt the chains binding him tighten.
"You're not that kind of person, have you forgotten? We're friends! "The pockmarked knight cried.
"Hehehe, your sorrow brings me joy." Gaudi Farlin laughed sinisterly.
"Hehehe, your sorrow brings us joy." A series of vicious laughter came from the chains.
Richard took a closer look and immediately felt his scalp go numb. Every section of the chain had a distorted and elongated face. He was familiar with every face.
They were all his comrades who had died in battle, or sacrifices burned by the Blazing Red Heart Knights.
R 'hllor's believers were treated the same as the sacrifices, they were all forged into shadow chains!
"No — — —"
Richard exploded with the strongest emotions: despair, grief, and anger!
"Holy Mother of Mercy!" He kept howling.
"Hehehe, this is my kingdom of death, I'm the ruler, no one can save you!" On the other side of the gray fog river, Shadow Devil Lahlo laughed happily.
"Who is it? Who dares to break into my God's Domain? "Suddenly, Shadow Devil's laughter stopped and he roared.
Silently, a series of black ink dots flew over from the west and landed on the chain. Each dot of ink turned into a crow.
In an instant, on the west bank of the gray fog river, 27 crows landed on the shadow chains between Richard and the minotaur.
"Caw, caw, caw …" In the monochromatic gray world, the grayish-red eyes of the crows were still eye-catching.
What was even more eye-catching was that their beaks pecked at the chains, creating sparks of gray gold.
"Crack, crack, crack —" Under the gray gold sparks, holes quickly appeared on the shadow chains. Then, after a series of fluctuations, the chains exploded.
"Bam, bam, bam!" The chains binding Richard turned into black fog section by section. In the black fog, there were distorted and angry faces.
"Caw —" A crow grabbed a handful of Richard's hair in its beak, flapped its wings, and instantly disappeared in the black and white world.
"No —" Shadow Devil Lahlo was furious on the other side of the gray fog river, but there was nothing he could do.
