Chapter 535
Dany spent half an hour building Sam's Evil Treasure Chest, stuffing the Half-Life Others into it and locking it up.
After a few toasts at the banquet and a few words with Quhuru and the others, I went to Smith's shop to discuss the improvement of Dragonglass weapons.
While hunting Others on the docks this afternoon, Dany suddenly found a big problem: the guards had Dragonglass daggers, daggers, arrows, and lances with Dragonglass heads, but no "heavy weapons" - capable of A powerful swipe, powerful enough to match Others' hard-ass weapons.
For example, big sword, heavy sword with both hands.
Lance was originally considered a "hard dish", but only the tip of the spear could kill the lance.
In this way, the killing efficiency is much worse.
Dany first thought, could he make a dragonglass spiked wolf fang club?
After the dive light flashed, another more suitable weapon appeared in my mind (ps: Actually, this is an idea of a reader friend), Macuahuitl.
Macuahuitl is a kind of serrated knife, invented by the Aztecs in America: the blade is made of wood like a boat oar, and a row of hard and brittle obsidian crystals is inlaid on the blade.
Actually, obsidian is Fire Mountain Cliff stone, and in this fantasy world, it is Dragonglass.
It can be said that with Dragonglass, Dany can almost perfectly replicate Macuahuitl.
And this weapon is "hard enough" even in human warfare. It is stronger and bloodier than many machetes formidable power. It is common to cut off human and horse heads with one strike.
Dany forged 30 sharp "Dragonglass tiger tooth" on the spot, embedded them on both sides of a one-meter-long wooden stick, and then slashed a peach tree as thick as a wrist with a strong swing.
Dragonglass did not break.
"From now on..."
Daenys hesitated for a moment, sure enough not to use the transliterated name "Macuahuitl".
You can't help but name it, or others might be excited to give it "Dany's Tooth", "Dragon Queen's Paddle", "Queen's Broadsword" after using this weapon "A very shameful name.
"This weapon is called the 'Dragonfang', and I got the inspiration from watching the Great Protector of Light gnawing on its prey."
Dany has shameless ownership of the weapon's invention.
"In the future, I will use the Dragonfang as the main battle weapon, with a dagger, instead of the short sword and the lance. Well, the Dragonfang's teeth can be inlaid on one end of the wooden pole to make the lance.
Even, Dragonfang's spikes can be used to make ballista arrows.
Standardized operation, Dragonfang is all forged into the same Mitsubishi spike shape.
Daggers and arrows are also standardized , which can speed up the forging speed.
We only need to forge the Mitsubishi thorn teeth, daggers and arrows, and the assembled wooden knives, wooden handles, and arrow shafts will be handled by Night's Watch oneself, beyond the wall so many iron trees and oak trees , Weirwood, is much more convenient than Dragonstone."
Bronn waved the Dragonfang forged by Queen a few times and reminded: "Your Majesty, Dragonfang's techniques and tactics are different from swords. Since you have invented new weapons, you should Only with the matching Blade Technique can the full function of the weapon be used."
Dany glanced at the mercenary Earl in surprise and praised his cleverness.
"Very well, this is up to you. You can communicate with Wall Night's Watch Raven and create a new Blade Technique together."
"As you bid !" Bronn readily agreed.
Old Crab stopped Dany before she left and said seriously: "Your Majesty, after seeing Others, I have a different opinion on your Riverlands disaster relief."
"What? Are you afraid of running out of food?" Dany raised his eyebrows.
"Dragonstone still has 100,000 tons of grain, and the three islands of Dragonstone, Claw Isle, and Driftmark add up to less than 5,000 households, enough for 20 years.
And Driftmark, Claw Isle We already have food in storage, and we still have money to continue buying food.” Old Crab waved his hand.
"Why is that?" Dany said curiously.
"We have to prepare for the worst! A trifling Others can freeze the sea, and none of us would be able to catch it if you weren't there. So I'm worried Wall won't be able to hold it." Old Crab said resolutely.
"Ha, don't worry, the Wall will never collapse. There is an evil suppressing array under the Wall, and the Others can't get through." Dany smiled comforted.
"What if the Others swim? Or, freeze the bay, around the Wall?" Old Crab said solemnly.
"Others King wouldn't be so...dishonored? It's too obscene." Dany's tone was a little uncertain.
Isn't there a wretched Others this afternoon, hiding on the rudder very wretchedly?
"Of course I hope Wall can keep the Others out, but it's never wrong to plan for the worst," insists Old Crab.
"Earl, you're right!" Dany nodded, the indifference on his face disappeared.
Her family property is in Slaver's Bay. Recently, she has been thinking about the Anal Allies. She is a little relaxed and overly optimistic about beyond the wall Others.
"What do you think?" she asked earnestly.
"Stabilize the first line of defense, establish the second and third lines of defense! Undoubtedly, Wall is the first line of defense, and the most important line of defense.
After today, I will write in person To the lords, let them arrange for Knight and soldiers to come to Dragonstone and transport them to Eastwatch together with Dragonglass weapons.
Wall must defend as much as possible!" Old Crab said solemnly.
“Didn’t I make calls before?” Dany said.
"This time is different, Maester Pylos, Bronn, Quhuru and other two or three thousand people have seen Others. I will also invite nearby lords to Dragonstone to see Others before Sam leaves."
Dany reminded: "Take it easy, don't break my demon suppressing treasure box."
"Well, I'll be careful. The second line of defense is The Neck, both ends of The Neck It's a natural danger, and it's a pity to give up in vain. The third line of defense is the defense of the major kingdoms after the Others breakthrough to the Riverlands.
Riverlands and Reach are completely unstoppable, so they can only give up.
The Westerlands mountain range is vertical and horizontal, and Casterly Rock was originally built by hollowing out the mountain range, so it can be regarded as a defensive stronghold." Old Crab noted the Dragon Queen's expression and said cautiously.
Dany guessed his concern, laughed loudly, and said, "Earl Celtigar, I will know your strength today, very good! In front of Others, personal grievances should be put aside.
Well, put it aside for the time being.
I want to take revenge, and after all the disasters have passed, I will defeat the opponent with grandeur, and then convene the Great Council to judge him in front of the princes of the world."
"Your Majesty... wise!"
Old Crab was moved like never before, for a lot of age, he had been Old Fox all his life, but at this time his eyes were wet.
To be honest, he was not very conscious at first, and only wanted to steal chickens in Long Night to protect himself.
But Others' ferocity is like a basin of cold water to wake him up: without ending Long Night, the world is frozen, how can Celtigar be preserved?
More importantly, Old Earl suddenly determined one thing: the Dragon Queen is the mainstay of the Long Night catastrophe, a savior who does not need the name of a savior.
——If Daenerys with five dragons, hundreds of thousands of armies, Spiritual God-level magic power, 18 tons of Valyrian Steel, and the reproduction of Valyria Magic Power Network can't save the world, then...
If there are other saviors, they should be stronger than her, but in today's world, duel and gang fights, who would dare to say that they are stronger than her?
Obviously, the world is saved by the Dragon Queen.
And he is the Dragon Queen's "Hand of the Queen" - at least Dragonstone is in his charge.
As the "Hand of the Savior", Old Crab suddenly had a sense of mission of "I don't work hard, how can the world survive".
"You continue." Looking at Old Crab, who was moved to tears, Dany felt a little uncomfortable.
"Oh, Riverlands, Reach, Crownlands, Stormlands are all unstoppable, Dorne has natural danger Boneway, Vale of Arryn has Bloody Gate, all are natural danger.
But Riverlands, Reach, Crownlands and Stormlands can't give up. Millions of people, the essence of Westeros is all in these four kingdoms.
Therefore, there is a need to establish a third line of defense.
The first The Three Lines of Defense is to find dangerous places and build man-made strongholds!
We can talk about other places later, but Crownlands is the basic plan of Targaryen, you better try to protect the common people and nobles.
My idea is to build a third line of defense for the Crownlands at Crackclaw Point."
Daenys asked the complex terrain of Crackclaw Point, nodded and said: "You want to pay for the rescue of the Riverlands by hiring refugees in Crackclaw Point is fortified, right?"
"What do you think of Your Majesty?" Old Crab expects.
“Where are you going to build a fort at Crackclaw Point?” Dany asked.
"Dyre Den and Whispers, located at the end of the peninsula, are both on top of high cliffs, very close to Claw Isle, Dragonstone, Vale's Gulltown.
Dyre Den's House Brune and Whispers' House Crabb, both loyal to Targaryen, both accompanied Prince Rhaegar to the final Ruby Ford battle, and both fell into the hands of Robert's family.
Unfortunately, Dyre Den still has a master Whispers are almost deserted, and House Crabb doesn’t know if there are any descendants.” Old Crab sighed.
"Then help them repair the castle by the way!" Dany sighed then said, "Earl, you are responsible for this."
Think about it , Dany added: "Also, you cooperate with Marwyn, select a few trusted people from the group of Alchemists in Driftmark and Wildfire, and teach them the magic of using glass candles to communicate with Magic Power Network."
“You plan to send them all over the place and get in touch every day?”
Old Crab excitedly said: “You’re almost recreating the glory of the Valyria period!”
“ Maybe, we can surpass Valyria!" Dany lightly said with a smile.
Midnight.
Dany rode Big Black to the hills 10km north of Ghoyan Drohe.
When flying over the Valyrian road where the steel was made that day, Dany saw with amusement that torches and fires rose like stars on the dark earth.
It's all mercenaries, farmers, and traders who came to find Dragon Queen Valyrian Steel.
Thousands of thousands spread over several kilometers of plains and riversides.
Even under the hill where Jorah and Connington are hiding, there are bonfires.
18 tons of Valyrian Steel, so attractive.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Dany landed on the top of the steep mountain, and unexpectedly found that there were still Valyrian Steel ingots piled up there, Jorah and Connington were on the side, even Little Green also fell asleep on the ground.
"Your Majesty, you're back." Jorah and Connington hurriedly stood up to greet them.
Dany saw anxiety and doubt on the faces of the two.
"Your Majesty, you only dropped 10 iron ingots in the first half of the night, and Little Green stopped working. No matter how we persuaded him, he wouldn't listen." Jorah complained bitterly.
"Little Green, what's going on?" Dany asked in surprise.
Is it time for rebellion?
No, he's only three years old.
Even if he wanted to rebel, would he dare to disobey the orders of the Black Dragon big brother?
"Fuck—" Little Green let out a low cry, with a deep grievance and a hint of fear in his voice.
"Who did you meet?" Dany face changed, seriously said.
