Chapter 608 Scarlet Banquet (3)

The deep night is shrouded in the hazy Fengxi Fortress. The sea breeze blowing from the sea surface is rising with fog. The thick fog covers the sky of Fengxi Fortress, wrapping the entire fortress under a shadow, and you can't see anything clearly. From a distance, Fengxi Fortress is like an illusory fortress existing in fantasy, looming in the sea breeze and fog, filled with a rich ominous aura. ≤,

The waves roared, and under the guidance of the strong wind, the reefs under the coast were blowing, and several huge fleets were anchored below the cliffs of the Wind-Speed ​​Castle, and a group of unscalmed people were stationed in it. This was the fleet that allowed Daenerys to cross the ocean from Ursos to Westeros.

At noon, the fleet had already headed north, along the inner bay of the Boat Bay, and advanced all the way to Fengxi Castle, and was stationed in the port near the sea. Daenerys was able to support the food for the population of a castle, which was transported from here.

Although the Wind Brew Fort was expanded by Stannis for many years and was no longer just a fortress, it still could not accommodate so many Unscrupulous people at the same time. However, Daenerys had an idea and transferred some Unscrupulous people to the ship to rest, which solved this problem.

But at the same time, it became the first place to be attacked.

Fengxi Castle actually does not have its own port. The so-called mooring place of these ships is just a secret passage from the inner castle to the sea below the cliff. The passage of thousands of people even takes half a day to transfer. Such inconvenient actions are also destined to be half a beat slower than others.

The attack... began near the evening.

The first person to discover the attack was the deputy commander who was lucky enough to survive the assassination of the Unscrupulous Camp, but this time he was not so lucky, just like his companions on the boat.

The commander of the Unsullied, Gray Bug, needed to stay in Fengxi Castle for cultivation because he was seriously injured. However, the fleet anchored outside Fengxi Castle could not be without a leader. Therefore, the deputy commander, who was fortunate to survive the attack at that time, was lucky enough to be appointed by Daenerys.

He was originally the deputy commander of the Unsullied Legion, with a high reputation and ability. The Unsullied in the fleet just needed a powerful leader to temporarily rule when Grey Bug and Daenerys were absent, and he was just right.

Although the Uncle is completely loyal to their master, that is, to Daenerys, it does not mean that the Uncle is not fighting for power within the Uncle. They have no other needs, but they actually pursue and command their companions more, and they are not malicious, but for the Uncle, this may be the only place they prove their self-worth.

From now on, there may not be only the voice of Grey Worm in the army of Wudi, but his skills are indeed very powerful and he is no match for him. The deputy commander of Wudi thought silently.

He sat alone in the captain's room. It was very quiet around him, and the night had just fallen. But after dinner, the purgatory people who had nothing to do on the boat could only go to bed early.

There seemed to be a vague cheer from Fengxi Castle in the distance, which was very lively, but he knew that this was his own illusion, because he calmed down and heard that there was only the sound of waves slamming on the board around him.

Maybe... there are some other things.

Deputy Commander Wugui was shocked. He seemed to hear a little rustling sound, but why did there be such a sound on the ship? Is it an enemy attack? This is impossible. The lookouts on several ships are not decorations. So what did you hear this? Did you misheard it?

With this idea in mind, the deputy commander grabbed the black light spear beside him, then pushed open the door and walked out slowly.

Most of the Ultimate people are always on standby, because the coastal fortress of Westeros, Windski Fort, is different from the hot Meereen port. The temperature close to the freezing point almost makes the Ultimate people tremble. This deputy commander is no exception. Although the light armor that cannot cover too many parts cannot provide warmth, it is better than not.

As soon as I opened the door of the captain's room, a cold sea breeze blew into my face.

The deputy commander of the Unscrupulous Man shook the spear in his hand, then turned his eyes to the black sea surface, and the sparse moonlight shone on it, reflecting the sea water into black, but it was extremely calm, and there was obviously no enemy.

As expected, it was just an illusion. He felt the silence around him and breathed a sigh of relief, but since he had already come out, let's go around.

The lights in the cabin had gone out, and there were only a little fireflies on the deck. The deputy commander did not seem to have noticed the strangeness of his whereabouts, and there was a little confusing thought in his head. He did not call on the patrol team and walked out alone.

There seemed to be an invisible fluctuation that was slowly and invisibly affecting him. When the deputy commander of the Unscrupulous Man walked to halfway down the deck, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Quietness was right, but... why did he seem to be the only one left?

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up, and with the sparse light, he vaguely saw the high-rise observation deck, but unfortunately, he did not see the Unscrupulous soldiers on duty inside.

"Enemy..." He wanted to speak out to his companions on the police ship, but found that it seemed too late, because he saw a black light flashing by in the corner of his eyes, jumping up from the gang of ships and rushing straight to his throat.

The next moment, his gaze began to sway suddenly, as if he was rising into the air. He saw his headless corpse shaking on the deck, and the black shadow that killed him, the weird arm that attacked the camp of the Unscrupulous not long ago.

At the end, the flying head slid off the deck, and he saw countless dense arms attached to both sides of the hull, like parasites at the wound, and the black water surface also surged, as if countless creatures were rolling and hiding below. Then, his surroundings suddenly sank, sinking into the cold, and falling into complete darkness.

This happened at the same time on all the ships berthed and under the Wind Breath Castle. None of the ships brought by Daenerys from Ursus escaped. Their watch hands died first without exception, and then the patrols wandering outside, and finally, the complete killing.

The sea water began to boil gradually. One arm after another held the dagger, climbed or jumped into the boat gang, as if the locusts were whistling by them, and even the ship was shaking by them.

Under the wind-smelling castle that surged in the feast, the initial killing had begun in the corner, and these fleets filled with the Legion of the Sullim are their first offerings.

The night seemed to be celebrating something, as deep and dark as ever, even if the Fengxi Castle was lively like daytime. The square near the Lord's Hall did not have much glory.

Daenerys ordered people to pick up braziers on both sides. The braziers connected into lines brought a lot of light to the surroundings of the square. However, oil lamps and candles cannot be used outside, and there are no electric lights at this time, so that's all. Fortunately, the burning walls of the Wind Smoke Castle can also be used as lights with the help of lighting, otherwise Daenerys would really have to ask for help from Yi Xiao.

However, even so, this sumptuous banquet was still very lively, because for the residents of Fengxi Fortress, the year-round celebrations and activities were pitiful. Moreover, with the wars and the awkward position of Stannis among the nobles of various countries, their supplies were becoming increasingly scarce.

So even if the food Daenerys brought, even if they could only enjoy their own simple dough cakes and rich broth at the banquet, was a rare delicacy for these civilians who couldn't even eat enough.

Of course, the food in front of Falin and others, who were nobles, was more refined. They were cooked with spices produced by Meere, and were also equipped with rare fruits and vegetables.

However, Sir Faring was not in the mood to enjoy these things at this time, and he ate a few bites with the taste of wax. Because Daenerys's departure halfway made him feel a little nervous, and the burning flames on the city wall made him even more afraid.

The burning flames and the strange patterns formed are the symbols of the successor of the real dragon. What he understood was that there was absolutely no good thing for these flames here.

Sir Faring was also a very capable person and had qualifications. Otherwise, because he could not station the base camp for Stannis, he had attacked Blackwater Bay with Davos in his early years, but was burned by the King's Fire Warlock. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he had developed a heartfelt fear of the flames from the bottom of his heart.

Although what Falin thought about at this time was almost called a retreat, he thought it right, that is, these flames did not bring any good things, but a killing.

But this is something big shots have to consider. As a small person or even an inconspicuous civilian blacksmith, Stan felt that today's day was like a dream.

Stan has no surname, only one name. His ancestors were not nobles, nor any other branch that had anything to do with nobles. So over the years, he has been just a civilian.

In the dark medieval times, civilians mean lambs that can be slaughtered at will, and perhaps they cannot be said to be slaughtered at will. After all, they have to cover up a fig leaf for the person being killed by suicide.

When he was young, his father led him around to avoid the war. At that time, it was the era of the old king Lauber. Wars broke out and the seven kingdoms were in chaos. The civilians who remained in the village would be dragged to capture the powerful men once an army passed by.

In this case, he was led by his father from the south to the north. After growing up in the north, he returned to the south because of the gradually stable war.

If the only gain in these years is that after his father's death, he was lucky to enter a blacksmith shop in the northern border to work, he was undoubtedly lucky.

In this era, blacksmiths were a noble profession among the common people, and they were not something that ordinary people could do. First of all, they had to have a strong body, but most common people who could not eat were skinny. First of all, this one was unqualified, and secondly, they needed to have a certain family background, otherwise they would never be able to work alone by themselves in the future.

If it weren't for the small number of people in the north and the war had sharply reduced the population, Stan would not have had such an opportunity. Under normal circumstances, a large number of people stronger than him were more suitable to work as handymen in the blacksmith shop, and there would be no need to think about it in the prosperous south.

However, it seems that it is because of his talent. Shi Dan was born to be a blacksmith. As he grew up in the blacksmith shop, he learned the craftsmanship of the old blacksmith. As the war gradually stabilized, the vision he had cultivated over the years of running around and training that he had learned that he was his own opportunity.

He left the old blacksmith, and on his way back to the south, he plundered some equally miserable civilian pedestrians with his strong body, and then came all the way to his former hometown, the south of Westeros.

Stan's vision was indeed good. At that time, the old king occupied the Iron Throne, and the Stark family was named the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory. He did not go to King's Landing, nor went to any other place, but went straight to Fengxi Castle led by the old king's younger brother.

With his skills and a little robbed family background, he and Kuaijiu settled down in Fengxi Castle.

Sure enough, his eyes were not wrong. The old king didn't like Stannis, so he had no share in many wars, so naturally he rarely draws strong men from Fengxi Castle. However, the geographical location of Fengxi Castle is very important and he will be surrounded in every war, so Stan can take the opportunity to make a fortune. Similarly, whether it is Fengxi Castle's danger or Stannis' ability, Fengxi Castle has never been broken. It can be said that Stan chose a pretty good place for himself to retire.

He married a civilian woman and had a daughter. However, as his wife died of illness not long ago, the situation in the entire continent seemed to have taken a sharp turn. When the Grand Duke of the North died in Junlin City, Shi Dan vaguely felt that it was not good. However, after all, he was a civilian, not born as a nobleman, and his vision was not as good as those people with information all over the world. Therefore, although he felt that Fengxi Castle seemed to be unsafe, he did not leave because he was reluctant to leave his family business.

Of course, the main reason why the blacksmith's important position made him not so easy to leave is also one of the main reasons.

However, with Stannis' continuous defeat in attacking the fake king and even almost destroyed by Hei Shui Bay, the situation of Fengxi Castle became increasingly difficult. The most important point is the shortage of materials.

Although due to nominal issues, no nobles will not attack Fengxi Castle for the time being, as the gold coins in Stannis' hands became more and more tense in the war, the treatment of Fengxi Castle naturally became worse and worse.

This can be seen from the fact that Stan was a blacksmith, but from the beginning, when he had meat every time he had, and now it was difficult to fill his stomach with noodles, let alone other civilians who had no ability to survive, the situation would only be worse.

But today, everything was broken.

After burping, Stan drank a big mouthful of rich broth again, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He hadn't eaten so much for a long time. At one point, he thought that Fengxi Castle would fall into the war period when he was eating dead for a living. However, with the arrival of Daenerys, Stan gradually felt relieved. Thinking of the golden iron felt that he had obtained in his home dream today, his smile could no longer be suppressed.
