"The Horn of Winter...also known as 'Joman's Horn', is a legendary magic item."
"There are several legends about its origin, but the most believable is that it was left by Brandon the Builder. According to the records in "Night Watch Chronicles"..."
Then the white-haired Maester Aemon spoke tremblingly and explained.
Detailed description of the record about the Horn of Winter. A thousand years ago, Qiaoman, the King Beyond the Wall, once found and blew this legendary magic item.
However, after his death, this magical item also disappeared.
Until now, a thousand years later, the new King Beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder, claims that he has also found the Horn of Winter.
There are many ancient books stored in Castle Black that can prove the existence of the Winter Horn, so it is certain that it must actually exist.
It's just...it's still doubtful whether Mance Rayder really found the Horn of Winter.
After Maester Aemon finished speaking, everyone in the conference hall of Castle Black, including King Robert, the Duke of Winterfell, Stannis, etc., looked at each other in confusion.
"this..."
Since the Horn of Winter really exists.
Then... what if what the King Beyond the Wall said was not a lie?
He really found the Horn of Winter...
...
On the distant Great Wall of Despair, the negotiation process between the savages and the coalition forces became somewhat difficult.
Andalos on the other side of the sea.
Wow——
Flags are fluttering.
Soldiers wearing red and black colors and wearing armor with the Targaryen three-headed fire dragon emblem were marching in a single column on the avenue, stretching for a long distance in a zigzag manner, and divided into rectangular arrays.
.
They are stationed in the barren mountain camp on the ancient road leading to the mountains of Norvos east of Andalos. The second legion of the Targaryen family, led by Prince Oberyn of Dorne himself, is now rushing along the Upper Rhoyne River.
Heroes Castle went to support.
The army is moving forward slowly with heavy steps.
Tap tap tap...
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded.
A man wearing sandy yellow soft armor sat on top of a horse with pure black hair, and there was a emblem of a golden gun piercing the sun on his chest.
The war horse ran actively along the Upper Lorne River. The horse's hooves stirred up the soil. The man's black curly hair also fluttered in the wind. His deep eyes narrowed slightly and looked into the distance, and then he reined in the war horse.
"Uu——"
Oberyn rode his horse on the hillside. He clattered his horse's hooves a few times and then turned his head to look behind. The long army was moving forward slowly.
Then following him, another knight wearing black armor and holding a double-edged ax came to Oberyn's side on horseback.
"Prince Oberyn."
The sunshine above the head is a bit dazzling. Although it is winter now, the sunshine on the Andas plain is still very abundant.
Oberyn squinted his eyes slightly, put up a awning to block the sun, and then turned his head to look at the black-armored knight.
"Count Evan Pass."
Oberyn's eyes were deep and his gaze was calm and indifferent with a hint of scrutiny. He held the reins with one hand, raised his chin slightly and spoke.
"I said that in the legion, I should still be called the legion commander, not my title."
Oberyn deeply implemented Viserys's military restructuring. He was an active supporter of this policy. Oberyn felt that Viserys's restructuring was indeed very good and could effectively improve the combat effectiveness and enthusiasm of the army.
Because Viserys's military reform did not judge heroes based on their birthplace, he took the initiative to open up this gap a little bit, but not completely.
In today's Targaryen army, any civilian, even a slave-born soldier who serves on behalf of his master, has the opportunity to obtain land or become a knight as long as he has achieved military exploits.
Moreover, in the army, official positions are not determined by title.
As the Prince of Dorne, Oberyn's status has reached the pinnacle of the nobility. Everyone thought that he would oppose this reform, but they did not expect that he would become an active supporter of this reform.
Because with Oberyn's clever mind, he understands the benefits of reform to the country.
If history has always been a wheel that rolls forward, it starts from one point, then turns around and returns to the starting point, and it starts again and again.
The appearance of Viserys gave Oberyn hope to break this wheel of history.
Therefore, a smart person like him would follow Viserys wholeheartedly, wanting to help him accomplish this great goal.
"Sorry, sir."
When Count Avon, who was wearing black armor, heard Oberyn's words, a look of shame appeared on his cheek under his helmet, and he quickly apologized.
Evan Parth was one of the first Rhoynar nobles to surrender to Viserys. Because of the effect of buying bones for a thousand gold and Evan's bravery in battle, he received a rich town as a reward.
And because of the aristocratic reform of the New Dynasty, the real power in the hands of a count is not very heavy. What really distinguishes Evan Paz from the other earls of the New Dynasty is the military power in his hands.
Count Evan Pass is the deputy commander of the Second Legion and holds great power.
However, Viserys originally hoped to install a close confidant to check and balance Oberyn's power. The dispute between chief and deputy has been going on since ancient times.
However, Viserys did not expect that Evan Paz was no match for Oberyn in terms of playing skills, and he was suppressed and submissive in a few moments.
Now, Earl Paz's deputy commander is completely famous but has no power. He cannot check and balance Oberyn's power at all. Instead, he has become a tool of the other party.
"Have the logistics supplies been arranged?"
Oberyn had just ordered Evan Paz to keep an eye on the baggage trains moving forward.
After all, the baggage is the most important thing when the army is marching. If the baggage is attacked by a surprise attack, then thousands of people may be in danger.
"It has been arranged, Lord Legion Commander."
Earl Avon quickly nodded in agreement.
While the leaders of the two legions on the ground were communicating, a black shadow shrouded their heads.
Phew~
Then he stretched his wings and flew into the distance along the direction of the army's advance.
"dragon."
Oberyn raised his head and looked at the sky.
This huge black shadow falling from the sky is of course a dragon, but the size of this dragon is far different from Balerion, almost three times the size.
Balerion now has a length of seventeen or eight meters, close to twenty meters, while this dragon is only six or seven meters in size.
He is like a little brother who has not grown up in front of Balerion, but to humans or war horses, for example, he is still a rapidly growing behemoth, changing almost every day.
"Rego!"
Rhaenys rode on the back of the green dragon Rhaegal, galloping through the blue sky.
Her long brown hair was fluttering in the wind, and there was no fear on her beautiful face, but excitement.
Rhaegal has become much better behaved since he was educated by Balerion.
In order to allow his niece to ride on the dragon smoothly and safely, Oberyn commissioned craftsmen to tailor-make a device with an extremely high safety factor that could secure Rhaenys well.
Then Rhaenys rode a dragon for the first time, and she wanted to follow her uncle on an expedition to break the siege of Heroic Castle.
The geographical location of Heroic Soul Castle is extremely important. If it is captured, the Andas Plain behind will be an empty area of 1 horse plain.
Viserys gave the city to her before leaving Andalus, and Rhaenys would never let it come to harm.
But at this moment.
Rhaenys, who was riding on Rhaego's back, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and she seemed to suddenly see a black dot from a distance.
