As the number of travelers has shrunk dramatically, one carriage can take everyone in. Mrs. stark, sir Roderick and Tyrion Lannister were sitting in the carriage. They were aristocrats. It was a convention to treat them like this, so no one said anything. Zhao Mai and the Bard Marian sit in the driver's seat in front of the car. Safir sits on the roof of the car, facing back. Bolon rides his horse back to inspect.
Finally out of the foggy area, the field of vision becomes wider, the possibility of ambush attack is getting smaller and smaller. However, Zhao Mai and others still dare not take it lightly. The size of the team is more than half smaller than before. If they encounter the same danger as before, the difficulty of coping will be increased by at least four times.
Everyone is in fear, except Zhao Mai, after all, only he knows in his heart that even if he encounters thousands of troops, as long as he hides in the car, there will be absolutely no danger. Even if the Dragon comes, he can let the car escape into the ground and avoid the Dragon flame. It took the Dragon here seven days and seven nights to burn down helenburg with fire, burning through the earth Probably never.
The ease he shows is unfathomable in the eyes of others. Everyone is observing him as if he is observing unknown wild animals. This feeling makes Zhao Mai very uncomfortable. Perhaps in the early days of reform and opening up, those foreigners who walked on the streets and were surrounded by onlookers felt this way, right? It's true that everyone is very polite, but who wants to be watched by curious eyes all the time?
Fortunately, the blood gate finally appeared in front of us, which means that eagle nest city is not far away. Blood gate is a strong fortification, built on the only road from Mingyue Mountain to Yingchao city. This is the exit of a gorge, where four riders can ride shoulder to shoulder at most. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon are rocky and almost impossible to climb. At the top of the canyon are long walls and arrow towers, which can cover the whole canyon. A strong metal gate blocked the exit of the canyon, and there was another one not far away. The whole eight arrow towers protect the area near the gate. Even if there are 100000 troops, there will be no more than six people in a row at a time. The whole Canyon is full of only a few hundred people, just two rounds of archery.
Blood gate has never been captured. It's a nightmare for all infantry and cavalry. However, when "Conqueror" AEGON took his dragon to destroy other castles from the air, the ruler of eagle's nest city clearly understood the weakness of the blood gate, so without waiting for AEGON's arrival, he led the people to surrender, which saved a catastrophe in the East. Of course, Zhao Mai can easily destroy the gate. The direction he can use is more difficult to defend, that is, underground.
But he didn't have to worry about it today, because Mrs. Stark's team had already arrived, and it became a reception gate instead of a fortress. Young Sir Donald led a cavalry, holding high the blue and white crescent Falcon flag of the elling family, waiting in front of the blood gate.
Mrs. stark, ignoring the greetings, asked them to send Sir Roderick to Eagle's nest at once, where the bachelor was well versed in medicine and might have a chance to keep his legs. Zhao Mai thought about it. Now that he's here, it's good to see his bachelor's medical skills. In some ways, the knowledge of Xuecheng is magic. They can even make active corpses, which can be completed completely with simple tools and some potions. It's really amazing.
"It's good to have someone to lead the way. No matter how fast you ride, I can keep up with you." Zhao Mai sat in the carriage and said, "I want to see the skills of the bachelor and improve my medical skills."
Caitlin nodded and agreed. As long as Mike asks for something, it's easy to deal with. If he doesn't ask for anything, it's really difficult. "Sir Donald, these are all volunteers I met on my way. Please forgive me and allow them to pass through the blood gate."
"You know the guard of the blood gate, sir brinden Tully, your uncle. I don't think he will refuse your request." Said Sir Donald.
"I miss him very much." "Take us," said Mrs. stark
Because of Sir Roderick's injury, all etiquette has been simplified, which gives Zhao Maichang a sigh of relief. He doesn't like red tape, even if it's the etiquette brought by sincere feelings, he thinks it's a little cumbersome. In addition to controlling the direction of the car, his attention is all over the surrounding landscape. After several days of depression, going through the blood gate means coming to a new world.
Mountains sprang out on both sides of him, and a green field lay in the Central Valley of the mountains. This is a peaceful and peaceful place. The sweet spring water on the mountain forms a river, which constantly nourishes the fertile black soil in the basin. Hundreds of lakes are dotted on the field like mirrors, so it is the most suitable place for planting or breeding. For a long time, the residents of the East have been protected by the mountains, enjoying the eternal harvest and peace. They deeply love this land where they can live and work in peace and contentment, and do not want to interfere with the ups and downs of the outside world.
The whole basin inclines to the East, stretches to the seaside, and ends between the steep cliffs. That side is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. Longbow hall guards the only beach that can land. The strong castle and loyal Lord ensure the safety of the whole valley.
Eagle nest city is on the north side of the valley. You can see it from the blood gate, but it's not so easy to think about the past. They need to descend first, enter the fields, pass through the areas occupied by barley, wheat and corn, pass through three small villages full of laughter, and then go up the rugged mountain road to Yingchao city. It's a castle made up of seven towers. It's located on the highest mountain here. It's a dangerous place called "giant's gun". The top of the mountain is about 1500 meters away from the ground. There are only two ways to go up: one is to walk slowly up the rugged spiral stairs, the other is to be hoisted up with a basket."Sir Roderick, I'm afraid you'll have to be lifted up by the basket, but I hope you'll come down the stairs at last. Overlooking the valley from there is the most beautiful view. " The speaker was Sir brinden Tully. He was a weather beaten old man with white hair and wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. When he saw Caitlin, he called her "little Kate" and was very happy to see her again, so he was always smiling. It was a kind of happy smile. "After going down the mountain and entering the valley, you can run wildly. I wonder if your car can hold on? "
"Don't worry, sir blackfish."
"Do you know me?" When the old man looked at Zhao Mai, he didn't find any badge or logo to show his identity.
"Isn't it the sign of a black fish that glitters on the shoulder of your armor? The Tully family is the sign of silverfish, but you use black, not black fish. What is it? " After enjoying the beautiful scenery of the valley, Zhao Maixin was in a good mood, so he said, "please don't worry about running. You won't find a better carriage."
