With Werther taking him out of the city, Dennis Allin called everyone he could to go north together.
Ashara Dayne is now also an earl, and is followed by two of his own soldiers. These two men only carry spears, and their duty is to raise the flag for Ashara and then cheer for her.
The three Asharas plus Dennis Arryn's knights and nobles had reached thirty in number. They were all wearing armor and holding weapons, riding horses and running on the King's Road. Not many bandits dared to provoke them, and they passed through in a few days.
Valley Avenue comes to Blood Gate.
The Mingyue Mountains are extremely steep. If you want to enter the Arryn Valley, you must either take a boat or enter through the only entrance, the Valley Avenue. The Blood Gate is built at the most dangerous part of the Valley Avenue.
The valley road becomes more and more winding after reaching here. There are almost vertical cliffs on both sides. Even trees cannot grow on the smooth cliffs. There are only a few wild grasses on the white cliffs. A solid rock fortress was built on this place. A tall and thick gatehouse, a thick iron fence gate, and two watchtowers attached to the rock wall are built on both sides, with an arch bridge connecting them. When educating their children, every noble will warn them not to attack this place unless they use soldiers.
The blood softened the rocks underground.
"Who wants to pass through the Blood Gate?" The soldiers training on the gate tower saw someone and shouted loudly.
"I am Ser Denys Arryn, Keeper of the Gates of the Moon! We are going back to the Eyrie!"
"Please show the flag!"
The group did not raise any flags along the way. Dennis Allin waved his hand, and a knight took out the flag from his horse and raised the sky-blue eagle that spread out the Allin family's soaring flag with both hands.
"Please wait a moment." The soldier went to inform the commander.
Not long after, a man wearing mail and with a black fish emblem on his robe walked up to the tower. He didn't speak and kept looking at Dennis Allin and his party.
He received a letter from his niece Lysa Tully, asking him to intercept Denys Arryn and kill him. Later, he received letters from other nobles in the valley, some asking him to let him go, some asking him to keep him alive, and some asking him to keep him alive.
I made the same request as my niece.
Heiyu is also very old, his face is full of vicissitudes and his hair is gray. He has thick eyebrows and blue eyes but he is very energetic. When he was young, he opposed the marriage contract arranged by his brother and ran away from home to make his own way in Westeros.
Integrity, humility, martial prowess, and kindness to people. Because of his qualities, the old Prime Minister Jon Arryn named him the Knight of the Blood Gate and asked him to guard the most important pass in the valley.
Heiyu is now thinking about the complexity of the matter. His nephews and nieces are usually very good to them. If he needs help, he will rush there as soon as possible.
But now the issue of the heir to the Duke of the Valley is involved. On one side is the usurper mentioned in everyone's letter, and on the other side is his niece. But someone mentioned that her son is a bastard. Now he is waiting for the king's judgment. He will release or arrest him.
Or murder?
Seeing that Blackfish had not moved for a long time, Dennis Allin immediately called out to the knights, "Something's wrong, prepare to retreat!"
The black fish on the gatehouse was relieved when he saw that they were preparing to retreat, as long as no one died.
Retreat? Is there someone in Denis Allyn's team who wants to retreat?
Ashara Dayne dismounted from his horse. The order given to him by Witte was to escort Dennis Arryn to the Eagle's Nest City. How could he go back halfway!
"Damn old man, you won't open the door, right!" No one in the valley opened the door, so there must be something wrong. Since the other party didn't give face, Ashara directly scolded her.
Hearing Ashara's shout, Dennis Aylin and others started to start, then stopped and turned their horses. "Ashara, let's go quickly. As long as they don't open the blood door, there is no way to enter. If there are pursuers behind, we will all
I'm trapped here! Let's go."
Ashara clenched her fists and raised her arms, signaling to Dennis Allyn, then raised her head and shouted, "Ask you, old man!"
Heiyu was scolded to death by the old man, and his body was shaking with anger. The soldiers next to him also started to be on guard, and a large group of soldiers with bows and arrows rushed to the gate tower.
"Who are you?" Heiyu is still sensible, and ordinary people would not dare to shout like this at this time.
The two soldiers following Ashara took out the rolled flags and put them on the poles of their spears, and the two flags were erected.
Heiyu carefully identified the pink and white pattern, a shooting star, and two long swords on the left and in the middle. The two swords were of different styles.
At this time, the soldier holding the flag shouted, "The stone of the Steps is to the Earl, the Sword of the Dawn, Ashara Dayne!"
"Is it her?"
"This generation's Dawn Sword is actually a woman?"
The soldiers on the gatehouse were whispering. Some soldiers had heard the news, but some didn't understand it at all.
Blackfish is the younger brother of the Duke of the Riverlands, and he has much better information than these soldiers. I heard that this man is a fierce man.
"You won't open the door, right? I'll open it myself!"
Ashara pulled out the Dawn and Dark sisters from her back, put on her lightning cloak and charged directly.
"Lightning!"
"Magician!"
So disrespectful of martial ethics, the fight started before even a few words had been spoken? Heiyu quickly commanded the soldiers, "Quick! Fire the arrow!"
Ashara is very fast. She jumps, slides, twists, easily avoids arrows, swings her two swords, and continuously flies out more than a dozen ice picks from the sword tips to hit the city wall.
This kind of ice pick is a magical variant developed by Werther for Ashara and Robb. The tip of the ice pick is not sharp and very loose. When it hits a person, the front end will spread and continue to condense, freezing the person and binding them. It can also be pointed towards the wall.
When fired, the ice cone will be temporarily frozen on the wall, and continuous firing can also form a staircase.
Blackfish drew his sword and pointed at Ashara who was running quickly, "hurry up and shoot the arrow!"
Seeing the visitor running quickly under the city wall, Heiyu and the soldiers felt like they were lying on the city wall again. What could be seen was the figure jumping up on the ice pick ladder.
Buzz~~~
The long sword was waved, and a bolt of lightning struck the wall. Several soldiers who were unlucky enough to retract their heads were electrocuted on the spot. Their bodies were smoking and fell to the ground twitching.
"Draw out your sword and prepare to face the enemy!"
After issuing a military order, Heiyu just touched the hilt of the sword on his waist and immediately issued a new order.
"Surrender! Open the blood door!"
The Dark Sisters and Dawn, who carry lightning, have been crossed behind the Black Fish's neck, and their heads will fall to the ground if they are cut.
The soldiers were also very scared. How should they fight this kind of magician who was charged with electricity, could climb the tower at high speed, and could sweep across a whole area with one sword?
"She is the Dawn Sword and a magician. She has already climbed onto the city wall. She is not an enemy we can deal with. Open the city gate!"
Blackfish surrendered neatly, and Dennis Allin had the Dawn Sword in his team, which no one had ever written to him.
Watching the iron fence of the Blood Gate rising slowly, Dennis Allin and others recovered from their surprise. They thought she had a dull personality before, but after getting along with her for a long time, they realized that she actually talked a lot. They made jokes with her every day, and she laughed.
They looked like fools. It was only then that a group of Valley Knights truly saw the power of the contemporary Dawn Sword.
"Dawn Excalibur, Dennis and the others have passed, let me go!"
Ashara looked at Dennis and others below the gatehouse who had already passed through the Blood Gate and were waiting for him. He put away his magic and walked down the stairs of the gatehouse in a swagger.
Seeing everyone pass through the Blood Gate, Blackfish didn't want the Tully family to get involved in this succession dispute. They had all left, but now they have killed someone, so they must relax.
He walked up to the gatehouse and shouted, "Dennis! The Gates of the Moon, the Eagle's Nest, and the three fortresses in between have all received the news that you are a usurper. The Knights of Moore are now stationed at the Gates of the Moon!" Denys Arryn himself was the Lord of the Gates of the Moon. When he heard that his fortress had been garrisoned by another family, he nodded gratefully to Blackfish as a sign of acceptance.
