In the old town, on the top floor of Shentian tower, a gray haired old man stood in front of the window and looked down at the chaotic old town.
He is no one else, but Leighton haitar, who has a series of titles and titles, such as "old town old man", "voice of old town", "master of harbor", "count of towering tower", "guardian of school city", "southern border Lighthouse", etc.
As the owner of the city, his heart is full of anger and killing intention at the moment. He wishes he could immediately drive out all the rampant robbers in the city.
You know, since he became obsessed with studying the mysteries of magic, he hid in the tower almost every day and made all kinds of attempts, leaving all the trivial matters of managing the territory to his sons. He didn't wake up until someone broke into the study and loudly told him the news that the iron people had conquered the old town. He began to reflect on whether his behavior in recent years was wrong.
Of course, Leighton haitar was much calmer than those panicked women and servants, because he knew that the strength of the iron islands was not enough to attack the upper area of the towering tower.
The reason is very simple. This known world's tallest man-made building is not a military fortress built with huge stones in the ordinary sense.
Its structure and shape are very similar to the castle on Longshi island. It adopts a special magic technology to melt the Dragon Crystal and then directly pour it into shape. Its firmness is even higher than that of steel. Nothing can destroy it except the hot flame emitted by the dragon.
According to the research and conjecture of a bachelor, the towering tower is likely to be built by a mysterious creature named "deep diver". They are the remaining hybrids of human women and marine creatures, that is, the mermaid often mentioned by sailors. Later, it was completely destroyed by deep-sea creatures, leaving only a mysterious tower that can not be explained at all.
Leighton hetal doesn't know whether this unsubstantiated speculation is correct, but he knows one thing: since the hetal family occupied the Shentian tower, it has never been captured by any military force.
Perhaps the conqueror AEGON and his dragon were the only forces that might pose a threat to the towering tower, but count Manfred, the leader of the Hatal family at that time, wisely chose alliance rather than confrontation, so it was impossible to prove whether the Dragon flame could really melt the tower.
As for the fire attack that viktalion is using, it is hardly an itch for the high tower. Once the channel is completely sealed, even if he has 100000 troops, he won't want to take another step.
"Father, you haven't closed your eyes all day and night. You'd better lie down and have a rest. Don't worry, Belle has sent a letter of help to King's landing and Gaoting. It won't be long before these bastards will pay for their actions." moroya haitar whispered comfortingly.
Different from most brothers and sisters who are greedy for enjoyment or are busy competing for power and profit, she always accompanies her father and helps crack those esoteric magic knowledge. She has no intention of getting married and rarely participates in family management, so she has won the nickname of "crazy woman".
"Waiting for help? When did the Hatal family fall to the point of needing help from others? Don't you understand? If we can't expel the iron people with our own strength, those potential enemies will think we are declining. Then they will take various methods to test, and then wait for an appropriate time to attack. Look at stark and Tully , and baratheon, how are these famous families now? I will never allow the family to decline and perish in my hands. "Leighton clenched his fist and roared angrily.
There was no way but to be angry. After all, when he handed over his power to his eldest son Baylor, the Hatal family was still one of the top nobles in Westeros. Even Tyrell, the Lord of the river area, was polite.
But now?
Now the bloodthirsty iron species are acting recklessly in the old town, but the haitar family can only hide in the towering tower and wait for external help.
The huge psychological gap made the old man completely unable to accept the facts in front of him.
Looking at her father's bloodshot eyes, moroya sighed helplessly. Just when she wanted to comfort again, a loud roar suddenly resounded over the city.
At the top of the blue sky, a huge beast swooped down at a very fast speed and spewed a hot flame at a warship docked in an iron archipelago in the harbor.
The terrible high temperature swallowed the ship in an instant. Both the sailors inside and the ship itself were swallowed up by the bright fire.
With the shrill scream, the warship soon sank slowly into the sea in fierce combustion.
The whole process happened so quickly that many people didn't have time to respond.
However, when the sun shone on the scales of the beast's body and reflected the dreamy violet light, moroya finally recovered from the shock and said to herself, "the Dragon... Is a dragon! A living dragon!"
"What's going on?! have the descendants of the tangorian family returned to the Seven Kingdoms?" Leighton turned around and asked gunthor, the child guarding the door.
The latter quickly smiled bitterly and shook his head: "no, father, the dragon does not belong to tangaryan, but to a man named Mason Aspen. It is said that he not only knows how to hatch and domesticate dragons, but also has some powerful magical power."
"Asplin? How come I've never heard of such a family?" Leighton frowned subconsciously.
Knowing that his father had lived in the tower for too long and knew nothing about the changes in the outside world in the past six months, gunthor explained in a low voice: "Asplin is not a noble family, and it has only been passed down for three generations.
The founder Manta is a hired knight. Due to his outstanding combat achievements, he got the official book and a small barren territory. Later, he owed a huge debt due to poor management. By Mason's generation, he was unable to repay, so he had to mortgage the territory to repay the debt.
I don't know why, Mason, who was originally unknown, suddenly seemed to have changed. He appeared in the eyes of the public for the first time, won the champion of the prime minister's martial arts competition with an overwhelming advantage. Later, he allied with the Lannister family, performed terrible hail magic in the battle of Blackwater River, and successfully smashed Stannis's cavalry charge.
Afterwards, the Florent family involved in the rebellion was deprived of all territories and titles and transferred to him. Recently, they married ero and married the tiller family.
I think the presence of his dragon in the old town means that the reinforcements of Liangshui city have arrived... "
The voice just fell!
A fully armed army poured in directly from the north gate and slaughtered the pirates mercilessly.
Those iron people who were busy robbing and raping did not expect to have reinforcements. They were suddenly blindfolded. In addition, they had no formation and were scattered in the streets, so they could not organize effective resistance. Hundreds of people died in just ten minutes, and the rest could not care about the gold, silver, treasures and women, Turn around and retreat towards the port.
