Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

It was evening, and most of the residents of Strand Village had returned to the village, ready to enjoy dinner and rest after a hard day's work.

Without warning, everything happened so suddenly.

Several hundred knights forcefully charged into this village built of stone and wood.

At this time, the fence surrounding the village not only failed to stop the threat but became the biggest obstacle for the villagers to escape.

After several of the fastest people were intercepted by the knights and whipped into a bloody mess with the knights' lances or leather whips, no one dared to approach the fence anymore.

After a brief period of chaos.

The villagers were gathered into a pile, listening in fear and bewilderment to the only loud voice.

“In the name of Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, King of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, Renly of House Baratheon, I hereby deliver this decree to all subjects:

“Joffrey Waters, the false king who usurped the Iron Throne, is the product of incest between Queen Cersei and her brother Ser Jaime Lannister, and conspired with the Lannister family to murder King Robert and Duke Stannis.

His actions are against morality, arbitrary and reckless, belittling nobles, and harming the common people, his sins are unforgivable.

The truth has been revealed, yet he remains unrepentant, falsely claiming to be king, greedy for power and position. The Seven Kingdoms have risen up in response, forming a mighty army of one hundred thousand, which will soon set out to reach King's Landing and overthrow the false king's tyranny.

In order to correct the laws and enforce justice, a military levy is hereby imposed on the subjects of the Crownlands, and no one may disobey!”

The speaker was a knight in shining armor, but he wasn't wearing a helmet.

Quell quietly raised his gaze.

The knight had black hair and dark, rough skin, but it didn't seem to be from the sea breeze.

Beneath the black-haired knight was a tall, sturdy, pure black horse, such a beautiful horse, the kind Quell dreamed of owning, the mount of a true knight.

The black-haired knight held a kite-shaped wooden shield in his left hand, painted with gold lacquer, with a black stag stepping proudly in the middle. Other than that, there were no other symbols or patterns.

A black stag, that seemed to be the king's emblem, or was it King Renly's?

The black-haired knight held a dark red cloth bag in his right hand, he shook it, and a furry ball fell out of the bag, rolling a few circles on the muddy ground.

Quell looked at it a few times, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat, his mind went blank.

The surrounding villagers screamed and fled backward, as if afraid that the thing on the ground would come alive, it was a human head!

The black-haired knight moved his horse a few steps, stomping the head on the ground into the mud.

“House Mallary disobeyed the decree and blindly swore allegiance to the false king, so all its titles, territories, and subjects are deprived, and all the knights under its command have been brought to justice, and the knight worshiped by your village is no exception!”

Quell stared blankly at the human face in the mud, his expression deathly stiff, his eyes dry and dull, but it was indeed Old John.

What was Old John's last name?

Quell couldn't remember, but he was a knight, and his fief was Strand Village, so he must have a last name.

But now, it didn't matter anymore. Old John had a wife and two daughters, but no sons. Women couldn't be knights, so Strand Village would only be given to a new knight.

Quell, Janny, and many others looked at the black-haired knight. Would this person be the new knight? Would he even live in Lord Mallary's castle?

Would Lord Rosa Mallary fight back?

The lord had always lived in King's Landing, serving the king on the Iron Throne, and he would definitely do something if he knew what had happened here.

But, several hundred steel-clad knights were many times more powerful than Lord Mallary.

King Renly had an army of one hundred thousand? How many knights would that be? Could it be that the king would be defeated, and King Renly would be the new king?

Quell hesitated, maybe I should join King Renly's command? No, King Renly.

The black-haired knight dismounted, "Tonight, I will stay in your village. Serve us well, provide military supplies, and obey King Renly's rule, and your past sins may be forgiven."

Then hundreds of knights also dismounted, put down their shields, took off their helmets, asking people to feed their horses, asking people to prepare food and beds, asking people to do this and that.

The atmosphere in the village immediately became a lot more relaxed.

Everyone became busy again, working after a day of labor was naturally tiring, but it was a reassuring kind of tiredness.

At least it proved that the knights still needed everyone, so they wouldn't be killed at will.

Although it seemed like they would lose a lot of property, it was better than nothing.

After all, this was war, facing hundreds of powerful knights, what more could they ask for other than to stay alive?

Quell wanted to follow Janny and protect his sweetheart, but he was called away by a knight to move wheat and cured meat from the village warehouse to the carts brought by the knights, and he wasn't released until dark.

Looking at the heavy carts, Quell's desire to join the army grew stronger. So much food, enough to eat for how many years!

Thinking about how he was hungry all the time, and the villagers looked on coldly, never willing to give him a full meal, and then looking at today, the knights only said a few words, and the village obediently sent out the entire warehouse, how satisfying!

Perhaps it was God's blessing, Quell suddenly saw two familiar faces, Bass and Beck from the neighboring village, who were also orphans.

Although Bass and Beck weren't wearing armor, they were holding lances and shields, and even wearing robes with the black stag, walking on the village path with smug faces, as if they were the owners of the village.

Quell's hope became stronger.

He went over, said a few flattering words, and finally stated his intention.

Quell had never said a soft word before, and the two seemed to enjoy it especially, immediately patted their chests and took Quell to find the captain, the black-haired knight.

Finally, Quell was taken to Janny's house.

The captain and several knights were enjoying dinner, the freshest stewed fish, grilled fish, and barley soup, and Janny's family was accompanying them.

Quell had only taken a few steps closer when he heard Janny's father say, "Sir, it's cold at night, let my little girl warm your bed tonight. It's a small contribution to King Renly."

Quell's mind immediately buzzed, his footsteps rooted to the ground, his eyes involuntarily going to Janny.

Janny lowered her head and said nothing.

Refuse! Janny, don't give in, don't be afraid, he's not a real knight! Quell roared frantically in his heart.

The black-haired man put down his knife and fork and looked at Janny, "Are you a virgin?"

Quell almost pounced on him!

Even without swords, he would tear his throat with his teeth.

But a familiar, sweet voice sounded softly, "Please forgive me, sir, Janny was once, ignorant."

Quell swallowed, what did that mean?

The black-haired captain smiled, "I'm not interested in used goods. But, the young men don't mind, do they?"

The knights next to him chuckled.

One of them put down his soup bowl, "Captain, I'm full. Brothers, I'll go first and test the goods for you, ha, haha."

Only seven or eight steps away.

Quell watched helplessly as this man brazenly put his arms around his Janny, his laughter harsh and unpleasant, his hands restlessly groping around, gradually moving to the inner room.

Janny's trembling cries came from the inner room.

The black-haired captain said lightly, "Sweet as a song."
