Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory
Chapter 240 Citywide Mobilization
Tension is the only atmosphere that everyone in the city of Qohor can feel now. Ever since Lind made the announcement that was close to a declaration of war on the dock of Qohor, the entire city has been plunged into an inexplicable panic.
Soon the cause of the matter was spread throughout the city by some insiders. For a time, the Soyd family became the target of thousands of accusations. Not only the various powerful families in the city accused the Soyd family of being selfish and provoked Qohor. After getting into big trouble, even the people at the bottom began to denounce the Soyd family.
It’s no wonder they are so angry, because the Soyd family intercepted Lind’s magic armor and stole Lind’s magic knowledge. Everything was done by their own family, and nothing they got was shared with the people in Qohor City. , now that they have provoked such a dangerous enemy because of these actions, how could they not feel angry.
For a time, the Soyd family seemed to be the target of public criticism and was in great danger of overthrowing. Many people had even proposed a proposal that sounded a bit absurd.
This mention is that the Soyd family was sacrificed to the Black Goat God to appease Lind's anger.
For the people at the bottom, they don't need to know why offering sacrifices to the Black Goat God will calm Lind's anger. They just need a reason to trample the superior Soyd family under their feet.
However, what makes all the lower-class people in the city feel incredible is that half a day ago, the whole city was still condemning the Soyd family, as if they would not give up until the Soyd family was exterminated. But after half a day, all the denunciations disappeared. , all the dignitaries and senior officials in the city shut their mouths, and those at the bottom who danced the most happily were all taken away one by one and disappeared forever from the lives of relatives and friends.
After that, news came out that in order to calm the anger and resentment of all parties and to allow all forces in the city to help them fight against Linde, the Soyd family took out a large amount of benefits. The family assets shrank by half, and Kos ·Soyd also shared all the family's research results on magic armor with all the upper-level forces, feeding all parties well, and finally calmed down the disaster that could lead to the demise of the Soyd family. .
However, the Soyd family fell directly from the top family in Qohor to the bottom and became one of the middle-level powerful families.
Immediately afterwards, the whole city was mobilized. In the propaganda of various dignitaries, Linde became an intruder similar to Temokao, and was described as an extremely evil monster. All the Unsullied from noble families were They were gathered together to form a legion, and all the established mercenaries were hired and sent to the outer city wall to prepare for Linde's attack.
Even wizards, pyromancers, blood witches and other members of the Mage Association were all sent to the outer city walls. Even though the spells they mastered may not necessarily produce any particularly strong effects in the war, they were still better than nothing.
In addition, the priests of the Black Goat and the red-robed monks of the Lord of Light stood together for the first time, and came to the Unsullied Legion and the Mercenary Legion one after another, praying for them in their own way.
In the city, the dock area was also blocked, and everyone was dragged into the city. The gates dividing the dock area and the city were also closed, completely turning the entire city into a military fortress.
The top management of Kohol believed that although Linde was just two people when he appeared at the dock, it is very likely that Linde's army was already lurking in the area around Kohol. Otherwise, Linde would not have made such a crazy announcement and threatened the entire Kohol The war started, so all their current arrangements are to arrange various defenses according to the way they dealt with the Dothraki cavalry.
The difference from back then is that they now have more than 10,000 Unsullied Legions in their hands, and the mercenaries are not temporary mercenaries like the Second Son Regiment. They are all mercenary groups and teams hired by various families for a long time. The total number of people is as many as 40,000 to 50,000, and their loyalty and courage are far beyond that of the Second Son Regiment and the Liangqi Regiment. They are confident that they can rely on the strong city walls that Kohol has continuously built over the years to withstand 100,000 or even 100,000 people. Besieged by tens of thousands of people.
Time came to the early morning of the third day. The weather seemed to be very good. The early morning sunlight penetrated from the top of the distant mountains and shone on the towering city wall of Qohor. The mercenaries and Unsullied who had been guarding the city wall all night were stunned. I felt a touch of warmth.
Not long ago, news came from the spies sent out yesterday that no trace of the army was found around Kohol. It seemed that Lind was more of a bluff.
The people from the Mage Association who accompanied the mercenaries and the Unsullied also walked out of the tents they had set up under the city wall and came to the city wall to enjoy the warmth of the sun.
Among these people, there is a fiery red figure that is particularly eye-catching. She is wearing the priestly attire of the red-robed monk of the King of Light. She has copper-red curly hair, a beautiful face and blood-red eyes, making her appear in the The moment he appeared in front of the crowd, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
After seeing the priestess, a mercenary leader who was responsible for guarding this section of the city wall immediately came over and said in a flattering manner: "Ms. Melisandre, you should not be here. The battle on the front line is left to That’s it for us vulgar warriors. You should pray for us in the temple of the Lord of Light and wait for the victory of the war.”
"Victory of the war?" The priestess looked at the leader of the mercenary group with a contemptuous smile on her face, obviously disapproving of his words.
The person in front of me is Melisandre, the priestess of the Lord of Light. She originally held the position of priest in the temple of Lys. She was sent to the Red Temple of Qohor a few days ago to assist the high priest here in spreading light. King of Faith.
The believers of the Lord of Light have always hoped that Qohor can completely convert to the faith of the Lord of Light, but here the Black Goat God Faith has always controlled the top management of Qohor, and almost all big families have people in the Black Goat Temple. As a priest, the belief in the King of Light has always been able to develop only at the bottom.
The reason why Melisandre was sent here is because Melisandre has extremely rich missionary experience, especially in missionary matters targeting dignitaries in a certain place. She has a very outstanding performance. The high priest of the Red Temple is He wanted to use Melisandre's ability to open a way for the Lord of Light's faith in the powerful families of Qohor.
However, less than a day after she arrived in Qohor, something happened to Qohor.
That night, she was also on the dock and saw with her own eyes that Lynd Terra, the Chosen Seven Gods of Westeros, wanted to start a war on the entire Qohor.
In her opinion, Lind Terra's behavior was simply crazy, crazier than the craziest people she had ever seen in Asshai, at least those people were not arrogant enough to think that they could fight against it on their own. The entire city-state.
However, while being surprised, Melisandre also felt that the confidence in Linde's words did not seem to be aimless.
In the past few years, the deeds of Lind, the chosen one of the Seven Gods, have been spread to Melisandre's ears again and again, including killing White Walkers, capturing wights, finding the Horn of Winter, subduing the sea dragon, etc. All the legendary stories that shocked her were spread all over the world. Singers and bards in any tavern would sing songs adapted from these stories. Their exaggerated reputation made her once believe that these exaggerated stories were actually spread deliberately by someone. , in order to expand Linde’s reputation.
However, various information collected by the Church of the King of Light showed that those rumors were true. Linde was really a figure comparable to a legendary hero from the ancient mythological era. This also made her more and more curious about Linde, and even Thinking about whether it is possible to draw Lind into the Church of the Lord of Light.
After all, in addition to the Chosen of the Seven Gods, Linde also has the title of the incarnation of the Storm God. Naturally, he also has the identity of the Chosen of the King of Light. It is possible to have such a legendary hero join the faith of the King of Light and have a strong influence on the light. The spread of the King in Westeros also has great benefits.
Because of this, even though what happened that night made her think that Linde was a bit crazy, she still felt that Linde might really have the ability to fight against the entire Kohor by one person, because various deeds and rumors in the past showed that Linde was a bit crazy. Not the kind of person who talks big and bluffs.
"Madam, don't you think we will win?" The leader of the mercenary group felt a little unhappy when he saw Melisandre's contemptuous smile and couldn't help but ask.
Because the leader of the mercenary group deliberately raised his voice, other people on the city wall could hear it and looked this way.
Feeling the gaze falling on her, Melisandre still smiled contemptuously and said: "If you have carefully studied the past achievements of God's Chosen Linde, you will know how serious what you just said..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at the forest outside the city, as if she had discovered something.
"What's the matter? Madam, you should finish your sentence." The leader of the mercenary group asked Melisandre's actions as he did not understand.
"Shut up! You idiot." Melisandre was not in the mood to pay attention to the mercenary leader who was entangled around her at the moment. While glaring at him, she also used a little magic.
In the eyes of the leader of the mercenary group, Melisandre's entire head turned into a skull, and her eyes turned into two balls of flame, which scared him so much that he backed away from Melisandre.
"He's already here!" Melisandre quickly dispelled the magic, then turned to look at the forest before and said, "Lind Terra is already here!"
Melisandre, who has a strong sense of magic, was the first person in the entire city of Qohor to feel the strong magic breath coming from the forest outside the city. After her, the Mage Association in the city, the Black Goat Church, the Red Temple, etc. Among the forces of mysterious power, those with the ability to sense magic also gradually felt that there was a huge magic gathering outside the city. This magic was so powerful that they had never felt it before. Almost everyone felt like they were standing in front of it. The illusion of being on a ship facing a storm.
"Fog! It's foggy outside the city!" Immediately afterwards, many people's panicked voices were heard from the other side of the city wall. Everyone was saying one thing, that is, there was a large thick fog outside the city, and these things appeared out of thin air. The thick fog generated was not affected by sunlight and quickly spread toward the outskirts of Kohol City, as if it was trying to surround Kohol City.
At this moment, everyone can see that these fogs are abnormal, and they all know that these fogs must have been created by Linde, but they have no way to stop it. Even the Black Goat Temple, the Red Temple, and the Mage Association All the forces involved in the mysterious power were helpless and could only watch helplessly as the thick fog occupied the forest outside the city, and quickly moved to the river, finally completely surrounding the city of Kohor.
If someone could stand at high altitude and look down at this time, they would find that the thick fog that enveloped the entire city of Kohol was not very thick. It was only about twenty meters wide, but it was very high, at least higher than that of Kohol. The height of the Altar of the Black Goat God, the tallest building in the city, made it seem to the people in Qohor that the thick fog had covered the entire outside world, creating an unprecedented sense of oppression.
The suffocating effect brought about by this sense of oppression gave those who witnessed all this on the city wall a feeling of impending disaster. Even the Unsullied felt a little fear in their hearts at the strange things in front of them. As for the mercenaries, they were even more unbearable. , some people's hands have begun to tremble involuntarily.
Then the bans were passed to the city wall, and the news of the strange thick fog outside the city was completely blocked on the city wall. Ordinary people in the city did not know what was happening outside because of the city wall, so they did not feel panic yet. , the order in the city has also remained basically stable.
However, this kind of stability did not last long, because faces appeared in the thick fog outside the city wall. These faces were all Lind's faces, and he opened his mouth and said to the city of Kohol: "You guys have already arrived." Have you made a choice? Use the entire city to protect the Soyd family who made mistakes. If so, then you will bear my wrath!"
Just like that night, Lind's voice spread throughout the city like a bell. Everyone in the city could hear his voice clearly, and the language he used was also Valyrian. Everyone in the city knew what he meant.
The moment Linde's words just fell, the sky suddenly darkened. The originally sunny and cloudless sky now produced piles of thick dark clouds out of thin air, and the dark clouds were still accumulating and superimposing rapidly, and finally... All light was blocked, plunging the entire city of Kohol into darkness.
Faced with this almost apocalyptic scene, everyone felt fear in their hearts. Many ordinary city residents knelt on the ground to pray to the gods they believed in. Even the soldiers on the city walls were too scared to pick up weapons. Come, and the faces of the high-ranking and powerful people in the city all turned extremely pale, and they vaguely realized that they had made the worst decision.
However, the fear of everyone in the city was not as great as the fear of the Soyd family. They subconsciously felt that they might not be able to escape this time.
But not everyone is afraid of the scene in front of them. Those who pursue magical power all look at the doomsday scene in front of them with great excitement. They know that all this is the power of magic, and they also realize that they The magic knowledge they pursued in the past was so shallow. For a time, Lind Terra was no longer their enemy in their hearts, but became their mentor and prophet. Some even had the concept of the God of Magic in their minds. , and equated it with Linde.
