The Brotherhood without Flags fought the enemy in the form of guerrilla warfare. When Dondrien was the head of the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood entered its most glorious and peak moment. All the members believed in and fulfilled the spirit of chivalry, winning both spiritual and material support from the civilians of Hejian.
The people provided them with all kinds of information and food to maintain their livelihood. Even the monks in the Holy Church did not reject them.
After the Brotherhood captured the enemy, they would also provide the prisoners with a fair and just trial.
They did not take any money from robbery and kidnapping. All of it was used to relieve the civilians affected by the war.
This might make people mistakenly think that the Brotherhood was a group of Robin Hoods, Red Flower Society, or Heaven and Earth Society.
In fact, this was a big misunderstanding.
The backbone of the Brotherhood without Flags was all nobles.
The head of the Brotherhood, Dondrien, was a count with real power. His disciple, Wei Xiaobao, was the heir of Starfall City. He was the top noble of the Seven Kingdoms, second only to the Duke.
The other members were also noble knights with names and fiefs.
In fact, this group of knights were all participants in the "Prime Minister's Tournament" that Robert prepared for Eide.
To put it bluntly, they were originally going to the King's Landing to participate in the tournament. In the end, Little Finger provoked the "Lion Wolf" to fight. The Lion Wolf made the first move and sent the Demon Mountain to Hejian to burn and loot, destroying the war potential of Hejian. Because Tully was the Direwolf's strongest ally and also Stark's tentacle to the south to interfere with the political situation of the Seven Kingdoms.
However, old Eide's political sensitivity was too low. He did not see the real intention of Tywin and thought that he had caught the Lion's weakness.
Tywin was already prepared for the "war" at that time, but Ned was still thinking, "Hehehe, I'm so lucky. I'm in conflict with Lannister, and the Demon Mountain is going crazy in Hejian. When I catch him, I can take the opportunity to vent my anger on the dog's owner, Tywin."
After Ned received the "complaint" that the nobles and civilians of Hejian were harassed by the Demon Mountain, he was very happy. He selected a group of knights that were most suitable for him from the participants of the tournament and went to Hejian to capture the Demon Mountain.
Think about it, with Ned's selection criteria, what kind of people did he choose?
Without a doubt, every single one of them was a righteous and honorable True Knight.
Therefore, the Brotherhood without Flags was not a grassroots group, nor was it a grassroots group of heroes. It was the purest Westeros noble knight group, a regular military group.
The No Flag Brotherhood was the representative of the Westeros Knight Civilization. They were also the essence of the Knights of the Seven Kingdoms.
Knights from all over the country gathered at King's Landing during the Grand Tournament. The righteous knights were all chosen by Ned and became members of the illegal organization that Cersei had framed. The remaining trash without honor and integrity remained in the imperial court, starting the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms.
Therefore, it was easy to understand why Lahlo would attack this "small non-governmental organization".
R 'hllor's first miracle appeared in the Brotherhood without a flag.
The place where miracles appeared the most frequently was still the Brotherhood without a flag.
The knights led by Dondrien were originally adjudicators who were ordered to arrest the criminal Demon Mountain. Later, Robert and Eide died, Cersei took over, Dondrien and other righteous knights were slandered by the Iron Throne as sinners, and the Demon Mountain became a law-abiding good man.
Thus, the group of knights formed the Brotherhood without Flags.
Being wanted by the Iron Throne was one of the reasons why Little Eide did not return home.
Sometimes, the power of fate could not be ignored.
The Brotherhood without Flags was formed because of Eide, and then Eide's wife was saved by the Brotherhood and became the "Second Generation Leader".
From the establishment of the Brotherhood by the first generation leader, Dondrien, to the succession of the second generation leader, there had been a year or two of development. Even Dondrien himself had been hacked to death, hanged, and drowned many times. Of course, most of his once upright and glorious companions had died.
However, the defeated soldiers and refugees from the war in Hejian joined the team one after another. Not only did the Brotherhood's numbers not decrease, but its scale also grew day by day.
Of course, the team's composition was mixed, and the quality of the members could not be guaranteed. In addition, the leader changed to Madam Stoneheart, and the Brotherhood began to change its "political program", from protecting the interests of the civilians to taking revenge on the enemy without any bottom line.
The Brotherhood that Danny met back then was the team that changed.
It was not that the team changed, but that it split into two. The righteous knights who insisted on their original beliefs left with "Wei Xiaobao" Little Eide.
It was also because the leader of this team was a knight who valued honor that they decided to come to Oak Hall to find the Dragon Queen.
This group of lords still carried the "treason" announced by the Iron Throne!
Just like what Little Eide said, the Brotherhood needed another righteous and glorious great king to help them put an end to the arrest mission six years ago.
Without a doubt, there was no better candidate than the Dragon Queen.
"In the name of the Child of the Human Era and the Pope of the Seven Gods, I, Danny Liz Targaryen, declare you innocent."
In the living room of Smallwood Castle, a small sun floated under the chandelier, illuminating the spacious hall as bright as day.
Eighteen noble knights, a dozen or so famous mercenary knights, one martial scholar, and more than thirty people knelt side by side in front of the Dragon Queen.
Compared to the majestic scene when they left the King's Landing, the surviving knights were less than one-tenth of the original number.
Under the witness of hundreds of people around, the Dragon Queen revoked the treason that the Iron Throne and Freyr had imposed on them.
Yes, after the War of the Four Kings, the Master of Hejian was Freyr, and Old Wade had never given up on the pursuit of the Brotherhood.
"Your Majesty, why are you the Child of the Human Era?"
The knights who were declared innocent looked at each other for a while. Finally, Little Eide asked the question in his heart.
They had been looking forward to the arrival of the "Ancestors, King of the Andals and Loynars, and Guardian of the Realm!"
Moreover, they had converted to the Red God for five or six years, and they were used to it. Queen, as the Pope of the Seven Gods, was it really okay to pardon the sins of the Red God believers?
"I think you are worthy of the honor bestowed by the Child of the Era," the Dragon Queen said.
Da Xiong stepped forward and explained in a clear voice, "You must have not read the Seven Stars Bible for a long time. It explains the Era and the Child of the Era in detail.
Simply put, the end of the last Long Night opened a new era in which humans were the protagonists of the world.
After this Long Night, a new era will also open. The protagonists of the new era may be humans, Deviants, or other species.
What the future will be, it will all depend on the united efforts of the human race.
And Her Majesty the Queen is the leader of all humans, the Great Emperor of the human race. The King of the Seven Kingdoms to Her Majesty is like an ordinary knight to the Master of the Iron Throne. "
"Ah, is that so?!" Little Eide was shocked.
"Go and read the Seven Stars Bible. Everyone knows about it," Jiqi, who was dressed in martial attire, said.
"Everyone knows about it," the maid in leather armor, Irri, said.
The two Centaur maids did not only serve the Queen. They were skilled in archery and horsemanship, and were proficient in the art of scimitars. When they encountered ghouls, they would also attack them.
"It makes sense if you think about it carefully. If the Child of the Era is really selected, who else is qualified except for Her Majesty the Queen?"
The remaining knights immediately agreed with Da Xiong's words. They looked at the Queen with even more reverence.
"The Holy Mother and the Church do not oppose the freedom of belief. Especially since your experience is special, it is okay to continue to believe in the Red God.
Now, you can choose your future as you wish. You can go home, go to the King's Landing and find the Holy Son of the Red God in the human world, which is Stannis, or other choices.
No matter what decision you make, you can find Sir Garth. He will provide you with all the help he can. "
Next was dinner time. The Lord of the Brotherhood could enter the dining hall and eat with the Dragon Queen. The rest of the ordinary members could only go to the barracks and eat with the soldiers.
During the dinner, the Hejian nobles in the Volunteer Group had a very good attitude towards Young Eide and the others. They even had some respect and admiration.
Listening to their conversation, Danny was really sure how big the influence of the "Lightning King's" Brotherhood without a flag was in Hejian.
It was an all-around infiltration. From the refugees who went bankrupt during the war to the high and mighty nobles, they sincerely recognized and respected the members of the Brotherhood.
For example, the Oak Hall where Danny was at was the castle of the Moswood Family.
The mistress of the castle, Countess Ravenna Sven, was a staunch supporter of the Brotherhood. In other words, the Oak Hall was a stronghold of the Brotherhood during the War of the Four Kings.
"Of course I want to help the Brotherhood. I know all the noble knights." The countess said confidently.
She was also born in a Count's family and received a high-quality noble education. She grew up in the upper social circle of the Seven Kingdoms. The knights of the Brotherhood were also in the circle. It would be strange if she did not know them.
For example, the noblewomen loved to watch the tournament. They would comment on the knights in the tournament one by one. They would even throw flowers and cheer loudly.
"At that time, my husband brought my son to fight for King Robb, but the wolf cubs came to our castle and robbed us of our food. They even wanted to bully us.
If it weren't for the fact that all the family guards had gone to fight and the lack of guards in the castle, I would have personally led the troops to destroy those bastards. Later, Count Dondrian arrived in time … "
Then, Countess Sven complained to the queen about the Northerners robbing her family's town and besieging her family's castle.
Generally speaking, during the War of the Four Kings, many of the Hejian nobles did not dare to open their doors to Stark, but they were willing to provide wine and food to the Brotherhood.
"How much do you know about the ghost of Noble Heart? Back then, Jenny in the City of Barren Stone claimed that she was a Child of the Forest, "Danny asked Bran after dinner.
"It's not wrong to say that she's a Child of the Forest, because Noble Heart's ghost has a Child of the Forest mother," Bran said.
"Is she Yezi's child?" Danny's expression was strange.
She thought of the squirrel man who "wore a wilted flower on his head" who had traveled the Westeros for hundreds of years until his feet hurt.
"No, her mother is at the Thousand Faces Island."
"Is there really a Child of the Forest on the Thousand Faces Island of the Divine Eye Lake? I thought it was just a legend, "Danny said in surprise.
"Have you ever wondered where Jenny from the City of Barren Stone came from?" Bran asked.
"That's strange. You said that she's Jenny from the City of Barren Stone, so where else could she come from?"
"Jenny claimed to be the descendant of the first king of the City of Barren Stone, but the people of the City of Barren Stone all thought that she was crazy. Jenny also said that she was childhood playmates with Noble Heart's ghost.
But look at the map, how far is the City of Barren Stone from Noble Heart?
It's thousands of kilometers!
Noble Heart's ghost's identity as a Child of the Forest is something that Jenny has always insisted on.
Either she's a liar, full of lies. Or she's been telling the truth. If she's not lying, what does it mean? "
"It means that she has a big secret." Danny was deep in thought.
"I can't say much about this. If Your Majesty is interested, you can go to the God's Eye Lake. At the Thousand Faces Island in the center of the God's Eye Lake, you can find some secrets of the Westeros Kingdom," Bran said.
"What is it that even you can't say?" Danny asked curiously.
"I'm also a human. I can't go back on the 'Oath of Alliance' that I signed with the Mother Goddess as my witness," Bran said helplessly.
"Oath of Alliance …" Danny's heart skipped a beat as she understood.
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Now that your mother's branch is the only one left in the Brotherhood, what plans do you have for it?"
"Previously, I was in a difficult position." Bran sighed and said honestly, "I hope that she can be free, but part of her core soul has already entered Lahlo's God's Kingdom.
If I destroy Madam Stoneheart's consciousness, it will cause her to sink into a deeper and more hopeless pain. She will never have a chance to be saved.
If you didn't change her fate, I would've kept Madam Stoneheart's existence a secret from Sansa and Arya.
Since Mother is destined to be in eternal pain, there will be fewer people to suffer with her. "
"Wait, did you forget someone?" Danny raised her hand to interrupt him.
"Jon?" Bran frowned and said with a bitter smile, "After he knows what happened to my mother, he might feel regret, but he won't feel pain."
"No, it's your brother, Ricken," Danny said strangely.
"Uh …"
If you didn't mention it, I would've forgotten.
Bran silently apologized to his underling and continued, "Now the situation has changed. You are the vanguard of changing your fate, and we are following behind you.
As long as you don't die, with your vengeful nature … Uh, I mean, with your personality of abhorrence, you will definitely not let Lahlo go.
As long as you don't die, he will die.
The moment before you completely end him, I can sneak into Lahlo's divine kingdom and fish out my mother's soul.
If I am busy helping you fight the divine war, I can also let Arya sneak in and save my mother. "
"You wish," Danny said lightly.
"This won't delay you, and you won't lose anything. Even if you have a dog, you should feed it a bone from time to time.
Arya and I have worked for you our whole lives. It's not too much to get some benefits, right? "Bran said, feeling wronged.
Danny had no reason to reject him when he even said something as petty as asking for a bone.
"Sigh, you win. I will cooperate with you when the time comes," she said helplessly.
Bran was energized when he received the bone. "Since you have decided to free my mother, Madam Stoneheart can no longer do evil.
I didn't reveal my plan, but I successfully persuaded her to keep a low profile for the next few years and not cause any more trouble. It would be best if she could do good deeds.
That's why you haven't heard much about Madam Stoneheart recently. "
"Do good deeds … Are you planning to let her go to heaven?" Danny glared.
"Who would want to see their mother suffer in hell? She has always been a devout believer of the Holy Mother, but fate is so cruel. The Holy Mother is merciful, so what if she is saved this time?
You don't have to be troubled. Everything will be done according to the rules.
Us sisters haven't done anything evil. Instead, we have been accumulating good deeds.
For example, I am serving you, not a slave. I can get a salary, right?
If you give it all to my mother, it will be enough for her to go to heaven, "Bran said confidently.
