Chapter 230 Rangers
The Faceless, who was already seriously injured and never healed, suffered greatly in terms of flexibility.
'A good assassin will never face his enemy head-on. ’
This is what his guide had warned him since he joined the ranks of the Faceless through the 'gift'.
The Faceless, hiding in the shadows, are the feared enemies of all kings, governors, and even the Khao.
However, when confronted head-on by a knight in full armor from Westeros, their threat was greatly reduced.
As the most brave warriors of the Dothraki in a card LS, Khao has also been immersed in the battle of real swords and real guns for many years. The Faceless does not have one more head than them, so it does not account for it in the battle. any cheap.
Today, however, the Faceless are forced to face Viserys head-on, and the Water Dancer's swordsmanship is subtle but still invincible.
At the same time his weapon was broken, Viserys's sword fell.
In desperation, 'Miguel' raised his left arm to block, and then half of his arm was easily chopped off by a magic weapon comparable to Valyrian steel.
"Run away!"
And the tavern maid in the cell saw this scene and immediately shouted anxiously.
But she didn't need to say this, the Faceless already knew it.
Half of his arm was chopped off, and the long sword's burning pain, like magic damage, made a highly trained killer like the Faceless distort his face.
But he still didn't shout, just groaned in pain.
Immediately, one hand covered the broken arm and endured the pain, and ran out of the window without looking back.
He wanted to open the window and jump out of here, and run away.
However, Viserys stood on the spot holding the blood-stained long sword and did not actively pursue, and the blood fell on the ground ticking.
"Great."
The tavern maid, who was wearing a heavy shackle on her body, saw this scene, and immediately sat back on the ground with a sigh of relief.
But in the next second.
A scene that almost made her unable to believe her eyes happened.
Viserys disappeared into a black fog in front of her eyes.
And on the other side.
"Whoo~"
"Whoo~"
The Faceless Man gasped heavily, clutching his broken arm, and fled to the window like a bereaved dog. His eyes were even blurred.
However, then he felt a bone-piercing coldness in his chest penetrated directly into his heart, and immediately transformed into a pain like burning fire.
Viserys suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the dusk in his hand directly pierced his heart.
'Miguel''s eyes widened, once again showing a shock and familiar inconceivable, and then blood poured out of the corner of his mouth.
"impossible!"
The Faceless can control their emotions well, and they can remain calm in the face of any dangerous situation. However, today the three views of the Faceless have been refreshed several times in a row.
It even made him doubt whether the world in front of him was real or whether he was dreaming.
Viserys, who was supposed to be behind him, suddenly appeared in front of him from a cloud of black mist, and a sword pierced his heart.
And Moshan, who was imprisoned in the cell next door, was holding a heavy shackle and clutching the cold bar.
Like the tavern maid, he saw Viserys turn into a black mist with his own eyes, and then suddenly appeared in front of the assassin, and pierced his heart with a sword.
"devil!"
Gregor Clegane gasped slightly, his tall figure clinging to the barbed window, and murmured while clutching the cold railing.
And even though the Faceless One who assassinated Viserys during the day was incredible, the vitality in his body was rapidly fading away, and they were only mortals without their disguise.
puff.
Then Viserys pulled out his long sword, and a black mist drilled into his body along the long sword, and the Faceless's body fell softly to the ground.
"Do not."
On the other side, the tavern maid seemed a little unacceptable when she saw this scene.
Viserys, on the other hand, ignored the reaction of the two guests in the cell. He crouched down and touched the cheek of the corpse.
When the Faceless died, there was a little gap between their bodies and the human skin that they covered.
Then Viserys directly tore off the face, revealing the true face of the faceless man below.
…
The next morning.
The heads of the two Faceless were hung on the wall of the palace on the top of the Nine Pagodas.
The people of Pantos who passed by raised their heads and saw this scene.
If it is normal, they may be interested in discussing which unlucky guy angered these adults, and even write a story that can be heard.
However, the Pentos, who have artistic skills and are good at imagining, did not look at the heads of these two unfortunate people, because they had seen too many heads in the past two days.
All the governors were raided and their families were exterminated, all their assets were taken over to the city-state, and as grace their former slaves were freed and became new free people in the city-state.
The people who used to work for the governor's family still kept their original jobs, and their salaries were even slightly increased, so the people quickly accepted the replacement of the Chengtou Dawangqi.
And among the crowds passing by the palace.
One person paid more attention to the heads on the walls of the palace, and carefully identified them for a while, and even almost caught the attention of the guards.
The man quickly disappeared from the crowd.
The dragon burned all the governors, the Targaryens took Pentos, and Viserys was assassinated by the Faceless.
Limited by the backwardness of communication technology, it is difficult for ordinary ravens to fly across the sea, and they must rely on merchant ships. It must be a month before the news reaches Westeros.
And a few days after this happened.
Thousands of miles away north of the Great Wall of Despair.
The heavy snow a few days ago finally got a brief pause, and a group of cavalrymen wearing animal skins and black cloaks seized this opportunity and were struggling to move forward in the heavy snow.
They are the Rangers of the Night's Watch, responsible for scouting and patrolling the Ghost Forest, killing wildlings and White Walkers roaming here.
But the latter has long since become a legend. The Night's Watch has forgotten the memory of the White Walkers, and now there are only stories of scaring children.
The group of Rangers had just repelled a small group of wildlings who had entered their line of sight. The other party left a few corpses and fled in embarrassment.
Because the White Walkers have disappeared for too long, the goal of the Night's Watch has changed from guarding against the White Walkers to killing the wildlings. The Ghost Forest is now a battlefield for the wild and the Night's Watch.
And at this time.
A small sound suddenly came from the bushes not far from the group of rangers.
