Since the news of the White Walker breaking through the Great Wall and blocking the Great Wall and invading the Northern Territory has been gradually confirmed, anyone on the entire continent who has some understanding and awe of Westeros history has begun to pay attention. Even some funny nobles have been convincing them to face the White Walker more and more with the persuasion of their scholars.

No one knows their horror, because those who have never fought head-on and survived, either become one of them, or even have no qualifications to be one of them, and the bodies have been broken.

However, although no one has faced them personally, it does not prevent the strong bloody smell of the historical records and documents, especially those living in the North, where the ancestors and Andals are mixed, they know more about the horrors of the White Walkers.

But since these 3w groups of White Walkers broke through the Great Wall, they have completely disappeared in the vast northern border. To be honest, the area of ​​the northern border is very huge, especially in the Middle Ages when various technologies and transportation are not convenient. If a group of people want to hide, they can hide in the mountains and forests and live a self-sufficient Taoyuan life.

But these White Walkers are not a small number. According to those who are interested, the number of White Walkers who break through the Great Wall may exceed 100,000, or even more. Most of them refer to corpse ghosts, but for those who do not understand the North, corpse ghosts and White Walkers are just one thing.

No matter how many thousands of corpses are hidden, they cannot hide them so thoroughly. If it weren't for the broken Great Wall and the more than a dozen Great Wall barriers with uninhabited corpses everywhere, many people even doubted whether the invasion of the White Walkers was false information.

Some people think that the White Walker has entered the valley near the Wolf Forest to the west, which is where Winterfell City is located. It is not surprising that the White Walker will go there. Some people suspect that the White Walker has gone east and completely entered the forest, but no matter which one is confirmed.

But Daniel didn't expect that he was so lucky that he actually found the traces of the White Walker. He didn't expect that this huge misfortune would come to him. The White Walker actually bypassed the Horror Fort and Winterfell, crossed the mountains and plains, and rushed to Baigang. He appeared quietly outside Baigang.

Or... Winterfell and Horror Fort have fallen.

Daniel was a little annoyed, and the messenger left a little anxiously. He didn't ask how many White Walkers came, but this question was actually not important, because no matter how many, Daniel was not optimistic about White Harbor, nor did he think that he could defend it here, if even the Horror Fort and Winterfell were in the fall.

The terrible thing about White Ghosts is that they are fighting more and more. As long as a real white ghost comes in person, there will be a continuous army of corpse ghosts one after another. Daniel is not from the North, but he also knows this. Because if he has money, any scholar will be happy to explain to you these things that were originally their responsibilities.

"Sir, it's time to leave, sir." Daniel reminded next to the dizzy Viris.

Daniel, who has experienced many escapes, is naturally experienced. When he heard the White Walkers attack, his first reaction was to leave now, but he did not do so.

He was not afraid that Viris would settle the score with him afterwards. The nobles who lost the city needed to be reshuffled. At that time, he was in a state of turmoil and would not pay attention to a small person like him, not to mention that he had not done anything, at most he would escape in the last battle. Daniel could now find the place where Viris hid the ship with his experience, and then leave first with a fox and a tiger. However, Daniel's years of experience told him that it would be better to stay with Viris.

One of the reasons is that he is safer around him, and he wants to not die. These nobles and big men will always leave a way out for themselves. Of course, there are risks, such as only one person, etc. Daniel feels that his luck will not be so bad. The other point is that once Viris makes his fortune in the later stage, he will naturally rise, so he will not leave unless he has to.

It has to be said that humans are really a profit-seeking creature. Before the escape instinct is stimulated, even though they know that the dangerous sharp blade is already hanging on their heads, they will still choose to maximize their interests as much as possible.

"Oh, yes, oh, no! No... no." Viris was a little panicked, obviously not awakened from the guards' report. He was taciturn and stuttering, and said a few more words. Daniel didn't find it strange. In the face of life and death, few people could calm down, including himself.

"The ship is in Hougang." Verris said, "The gate of Hougang is hidden and cannot be opened from the outside. There is a secret passage leading to Hougang in my mansion. You can send someone in immediately and open the gate from the inside."

"Two hundred and thirty warships and transport ships..." Verris gritted his teeth and said, "Enough... some people escaped."

Daniel is not sure how many people there are in Baigang. It is a city-state for trading ports, but he knows that Baigang's permanent population will not be less than 100,000, and there are more migrant populations. Even if Baigang is the smallest in the five major cities in Westeros, its population is far from comparable to those small cities.

One hundred thousand is just an apparent number. Many poor people and refugees are hidden in the city. If you really count it, I am afraid that this number will double. Daniel doesn’t know how many people can transport 230 boats, but he will definitely not be able to transport so many poor people and ordinary people, even if even the nobles in the city can’t be loaded.

So what Veris said about escaping from some people... is really a small part.

Baigang is backed by the port and faces the land on three sides. Of course, it can also escape in the remaining direction through the city gate. However, except for a river that leads directly to the Wolf Forest, Baigang is full of plains on the other three sides. It sounds not impossible for humans to run through undead creatures on the plain, but humans will be tired and need to sleep, and corpses will not, so hope becomes despair.

"I get it." Daniel lowered his head, "I'll do it now."

Although nobles living in the same city often have frictions of interests, they still choose the best place for their allies when facing foreign enemies, because most of them have marriages, and even if they carefully compare the genealogy, they will find that marriages between close relatives are a joke among nobles.

The circle of aristocrats is not big. In order to maintain their own honor and status, their parents and ancestors are closely related to each other, which is somewhat like wizards. Their circle is also very small, but they value bloodline more.

If the Mandalay family is in crisis because of the White Walkers, these little nobles will be their best help. So we must not give up on them, even the fat and big-eared Viris knows it.

"Wait..." Just as Daniel was about to leave, Willis stopped him again, "Where is my father?" he asked in a trembling voice.

"Sir Earl... is not in the city." Daniel, the housekeeper and investor, thought for a while and said that the old Weman no longer managed White Harbor and gave it to Willis. Although Daniel had not had much time to join Willis, his ability to make money was definitely one-to-one, so he quickly sat in his confidant position, and Willis gave many things to Daniel.

"Sir, he has been hunting and outings outside for a while. The Earl means... Once winter comes, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity for a long time. Then he will spend the night in Kalin Bay and will not return to White Harbor."

Many nobles have private estates outside, so they can raise mistresses to take vacation or escape. Of course, in order not to be looted when they are away, a large number of guards have been arranged. I think small towns like Kalin Bay are also good places to raise mistresses, so the purpose of Earl of Weman's overnight is self-evident.

"That's good, that's good..." Willis also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his father might have escaped. Daniel thought this was not bad. At least he still had family affection, but the next moment, Daniel gave up this idea.

"Take them to the secret passage, and ask them to find a boat to leave first, and go to my father." Verris pointed to the reserve maids hiding in every corner nearby, "and..." His face suddenly became ferocious, and he said viciously, "These families in the civilian areas are unwilling to accept my offer. The untouchables who send their wives and daughters in to be servants. Go and snatch them all for me and take them on the boat together."

"Now... go grab someone?" Daniel was a little stunned. He suddenly felt that it might be a mistake to stay, because at such a moment of life and death, what Viris thought of was something that seemed irrelevant to him. There was no woman, not to mention that Viris was a nobleman. He had no idea what Viris thought. He had a wrong string in his head and was so persistent in snatching a commoner's wife and daughter.

That's right, it's just robbery. Even if Viris is covered with a maid's robbery, in Daniel's opinion, it's essentially robbery, but now it's not a question of whether this is right or wrong. The communication between the two has been wasted several minutes. If they robbed these people again, it would take more time and troops.

Daniel didn't understand where Viris's persistence came from, so he could only try to dispel his idea with the noble etiquette he paid attention to, "This is probably not good," he said with a downward look, "This is not in line with your aristocratic style. These people did not accept your money... and just snatched it..."

"Type?" Verris was stunned, and then suddenly began to shake his head, "No, no, no," he said, "My style is no problem at all. It is their business that they do not accept my money, and I have no mistakes in robbing them."

Looking at Daniel who was also a little stunned, Willis immediately understood what was going on. He showed a sneer, and his voice contained disdainful explanation, "The money I gave them is not an exchange, but a gift. I am a nobleman, and they are civilians. Everything about them belongs to me, and is my private property, including their wives and daughters."

"I possess them, and no one will object, but I gave them money as compensation, so I am generous and noble. Do you understand?" Verris stared into Daniel's eyes and looked at him condescendingly, with a fat face a little ridiculous.

"It doesn't matter whether they accept my money or not, because I will definitely get it. These civilians are my private property. What rights do they have to resist? Even if I can't use it, I will leave it to my father. The meaning of the things is no longer important, the important meaning itself."

"Now, go and do it."

Looking at Willis's disdainful and cold eyes, Daniel suddenly lost the courage to justify, because he suddenly understood why Willis seemed very approachable and everything was very reasonable and appropriate, because he never regarded civilians as an equal creature. In his eyes, except for the nobles, others refer to objects, and they are objects that belong to him.

It can be judged from Viris's words that he must have done a lot of things like this, but this time, because the White Walker incident happened suddenly, it was a little hurry. Daniel thought Viris was willing to put on a layer of servant cloak, and he was doing better than most other nobles, but unexpectedly... it was worse.

At this time, Daniel did not notice the meaning of Viris's second half of the sentence, but it didn't matter, because he decided to go to the Earl's Mansion to plunder it, and then left in the chaos.

Although the Targaryen dynasty did not clearly stipulate that civilians were private property of the nobles, there was no clear provision. Moreover, the laws were in the hands of the nobles, and civilians did not understand them at all, so this boundary was very blurred. Sometimes civilians were very free, but once the nobles needed them, they would immediately be inferior to the slaves.

However, in order to prevent large-scale riots, nobles rarely oppress civilians on a large scale. Even if there is, they will find a reasonable reason. No one dares to speak for individual civilians even if it is too much. After all, this is essentially a world dominated by aristocratic status, and most civilians are very ignorant.

Although many nobles have the idea of ​​Viris, there is absolutely no one who dares to say it out loudly. With this point, Daniel can determine what status the civilians have in Viris' eyes, and they have no status at all.

Facing Willis' disdainful gaze, Daniel lowered his head deeply, "I understand, I'll do it now." He said without daring to resist at all. After understanding Willis's meaning, Daniel immediately burst into a cold sweat.

At the same time, he also made up his mind to leave in the chaos, because in the eyes of such a noble, there was no reason to kill civilians because he thought it was just right. The reason why he lived to this day was probably because he was capable enough and was lucky enough to have no mistakes, otherwise he would never know how to die.

Daniel turned around and left here very quickly, otherwise he would not have been able to climb to a high position in such a short time. After he took the shortcut back to the Earl's Mansion, he immediately went to find someone to pick up the group of maids, and then ordered his confidant to open the gate of Hougang. As for the matter of stealing people... he had already left it behind.

Daniel himself quickly entered the Earl's Mansion. He wanted to plunder some money, otherwise he would leave without compensation. He would have done it in vain for so long. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he returned to the Earl's Mansion, he saw that Viris had returned here first than him.

Although he was a little surprised that Willis was faster than taking a shortcut, Daniel was not panicked either. After all, he had no intention of escaping at all now, so there was no need to panic first.

"Sir... Why are you here? Come with me to Hougang?" Daniel stepped forward and asked respectfully.

But unexpectedly, Willis actually gave an answer that he could never imagine, "Not here." He struggled to stuff his obese body into his armor, and the fat people on his face seemed to shivering, "What are you going to Hougang?" he said, "I want to meet the enemy."

"What?" Daniel could not hide his surprise for a moment and asked directly.

Viris seemed a little dissatisfied with his usual shrewd confidant becoming stupid. He gave him an angry look and said, "Didn't I just say that these civilians are my private property, of course I have to protect them." (To be continued...)
