Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 199 Knights of the Frontier

The scattered leaves were grabbed by the knight leaning on the crimson rock and thrown into the burning bonfire. They were immediately swallowed up by the flames and burst into brilliant sparks.

He took the shield off the saddle and tore away the black cloth covering the surface. The flickering firelight illuminated the surface of the shield, revealing a bright white light.

"After arriving in Blackport City, you must prepare a new shield for me. You know, the background color must be purple, and the style should be the same, with intersecting swords and meteors." The attendant who was leaning against a bonfire to keep warm had a look on his face. He looked at the brand new shield in the knight's hand with envy.

The knight took off the curved half-helmet that covered his face, revealing his handsome face and short golden-red hair. The shield hung down on his waist and was tied by a leather rope to the disc on the side of the breastplate that protected the weakest part of the body, revealing Dondley. The purple lightning symbol of the En family.

He pressed his hands on the throat armor around his neck, trying to remove it, but he tried many times to no avail. "Edric, come here and help me." He waved his hand, and the squire Edric stood up slowly, walked to Beric Dondarrion, stretched out his hand and opened the small iron ring of the throat armor, Take off the armor.

"Huh~" Beric Dondarrion sighed and threw aside the curved half-helmet he snatched from the Dornish skirmishers. "Your Dornishmen's armor is really ugly."

Attendant Edric Dayne curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "The Dornish warriors are as dense as sand. What's the use of beautiful armor? Look at the people of the Reach. The plate armor of the Seven Kingdoms may be there, but they are still thrown away." The armor was discarded, and our prince took care of it like a fleeing mouse." He stretched out his hands and leaned against the bonfire, feeling the temperature and warming his hands. ,

Beric Dondarrion looked at the squire hesitantly. He placed his sword across his thigh on the ground and wiped it carefully with a black cloth dipped in water.

"I want to fight the Dornish people. You are the earl of Starfall City after all. It is not appropriate for you to continue to follow me." Beric Dondarrion pondered for a moment and then said to Edric, "Nightsong City is yours now. The prince is in charge, and we will part ways at the Tower of Bliss. You can go directly north to find Oberon Martell, and he will arrange for you to return to Starfall City."

Edric was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said to Berry: "Sir, you and my aunt are still engaged, you don't have to get involved in the conflict between the Cullen family and Dorne."

Beric Dondarrion stopped wiping the sword in his hand and stared at the attendant with his black eyes, "In order to deal with the Reach, your Prince of Dorne did not hesitate to take down the Cullen family's Nightsong City with a sneak attack. At that time, Earl Rice was still leading the army in the northernmost hills of the Crimson Mountains and took Nightsong City in such a dishonorable way. I am also the lord of the border area, and Blackport must take action."

He gasped with some annoyance, and wiped the sword harder, "I can't sit idly by, the army of Darkport has been assembled, and I will join Randyll Tarly and Lord Blaise Cullen. Meet the Prince of Dorne."

Edric Dane silently moved his eyes aside, staring at the burning bonfire in a daze.

"Or in the Tower of Bliss, you can go back to your castle directly from the Bone Road and say hello to your aunt for me." Beric Dondarrion said.

Edric raised his head, "Do you still remember what my aunt looks like, since you parted ways in Starfall City?"

Barry sighed helplessly and looked at Edric, "I originally planned to participate in Lord Ed's martial arts tournament and win glory for your aunt by winning the crown, but my skills are not as good as others after all."

"You didn't answer my question." Edric blinked and looked at Beric Dondarrion.

"Alyria." Beric Dondarrion thought of this Dane woman. "With her dark hair, fair skin, and those mesmerizing purple eyes, how could I not Remember."

Edric lowered his head, "People around me always say that my aunt is very beautiful, but not as good as my other aunt." "Ashara Dayne?" Beric Dondarrion shook his head with a chuckle, "I I’ve never seen it, so I’m afraid it’s hard to imagine that Alilia is beautiful enough.”

Beric Dondarrion carefully wiped the tip of the long sword with a black cloth, then shook the sword, and the bright cold light shone on Beric's face. He breathed a little, put the sword back into its scabbard, and stood up, " Is the tent set up?"

Edric stretched his neck and pointed to the flat ground on the right. The black tent was hidden in the night, lying quietly. ,

Berry looked at Edric's slightly lonely expression and walked straight to the black tent on the side without paying much attention.

"I want to follow you all the time, Lord Berry." Edric's voice came from behind.

Beric Dondarrion was stunned for a moment, then turned around hesitantly, "We are fighting your prince in Nightsong City, not the bandits we fight together along the way."

"I am loyal to the same king as you, right?" Edric frowned and reminded.

Berry frowned tightly, "I have not bowed the knee to any king. If there is one..." He hesitated for a moment, but still said the name, "If there is, it is still King Robert."

"Me too," Edric said, with a bit of innocence in his eyes, "Starfall and Blackhaven both serve King Robert."

Barry couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He waved his hand, "Don't forget, your aunt, the retainers of the Dane family, and your companions since childhood are all in Starfall City. If the prince of Dorne hears about it, The Earl of Starfall City stands with the enemy, what will happen?"

He walked to Edric and bent down, "You can play a greater role in Starfall City than staying with me. You can write a letter to Prince Doran and ask him to transfer Nightsong City at Prince's Pass. Returning it to Earl Bryce might be really effective? You are a great nobleman of Dorne."

Edric sighed slightly, "I hope you are right, I just..." He stopped speaking. Edric knew that there was no reason to refute Barry's statement, "I don't want to see O. Beren Martell, I always feel that he is not a good person in your mind. I can go directly back to Starfall City along the Bone Road from the Tower of Bliss."

Beric Dondarrion sneered, "You will definitely not like him. It is said, just said, that he raised many little boys for him to play with."

Edric opened his eyes wide and looked at Barry in disbelief.

"It's all rumors, I don't believe it." Seeing Edric being so nervous, Barry waved his hand quickly.

"You need horses and supplies," Berry said. "There are many castles along the Bone Road. They all recognize you. That's it, Earl of Starfall City." He straightened up with a chuckle and got into the black tent. .
