The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 643 Hunting!

Another spring is coming.

In the territory where everything is revived, the villagers are working hard.
Looking at the craftsmen coming in and out, who were putting the finished armor and weapons into the warehouse, Zhang Cheng turned his head and asked, "How is Skaggs doing? Uncle Andrew!"

"According to the letter from the knights below, we have expanded to the central part, but we are encountering strong resistance, especially from the goblins. Those damn beasts attack the camp every day!"

Andrew started to explain to Zhang Cheng.

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng suddenly recalled some bad memories and immediately said, "Let Krieg send a team of 200 people to carry out the genocide operation!"

"Understood, Lord Earl!"

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Andrew hurried down to find the bachelor and planned to arrange for someone to deliver the message.

After returning to the hall to rest, Zhang Cheng was thinking about how to deal with the Bolton family's collection of money.

After all, the money has been borrowed, so how to refuse tactfully is what he needs to consider!

It is definitely not an option to break up, after all, he and the other party are still "allies"!

Although this kind of friendly force is not trustworthy, Zhang Cheng does not want to lose a shield so soon!

Because the Bolton family dared to compete with the Stark family for the existence of the King of the North!

This old family must be more influential than the Zelleringen family. What if he gets into trouble outside?
Zhang Cheng doesn't want to change his identity now. The only way is to store up food, build high walls, and slowly become king!

"My Lord, Steward Andrew asked me to inform you that the people from the Stark family and the Baratheon family have arrived. Please go down to greet them."

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, the attendant hurriedly explained,

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng showed a puzzled look on his face, because if nothing was wrong, what were Stark and Baratheon doing and why did they come to him?
Was it because he was too close to the Bolton family and wanted to punish him? Or was it because of his replacement of the nobles in the territory?
Thinking of this, a disdainful smile appeared on Zhang Cheng's lips, because he had indeed done a lot in the past year!
After the former family territory was recovered, Zhang Cheng refused the former nobles' offer of service.

Because in his heart, the families that were loyal to Zähringen had all disappeared in the Battle of Eagle Castle.
As for how Zhang Cheng would remedy the situation, he would find heirs from the families with direct bloodlines!
Although this would easily lead to opposition from other nobles, Zhang Cheng didn't care. After all, as the Count of Zähringen, he needed to compensate the family that shed blood back then.
If Zhang Cheng guessed correctly, Stark should have come to warn him.
But Stark has no say in this matter.

After all, the feudal system in the Middle Ages was very strange, that is, the king was not my king!

As the Count of Zähringen, he has jurisdiction over all the nobles in the territory, which means that he is the "king" of the other party!
As for Zhang Cheng, he only needs to be loyal to the Stark family!
The other party has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Zelingen family without going through Zhang Cheng. This is why they need to "help" themselves become the Count of Zelingen again!
However, this group of people obviously miscalculated, because the "young" Zhang Cheng was obviously not someone to be trifled with!

Arriving in front of the castle, Zhang Cheng looked at Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon riding on their horses, and immediately smiled and said, "Welcome to Eagle Castle!"

"Nice to meet you, Rose!"

Getting off the horse, Ed looked at Zhang Cheng in front of him and couldn't help but smile: "I brought my sister and Robert here, you don't mind, do you?"

"Of course not. After all, everyone who comes to Eagle Castle is a guest!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng waved his hand and asked people to offer bread and salt. After all, this was a traditional ceremony that everyone needed to follow.
Moreover, Zhang Cheng was too disdainful to hold the Hongmen Banquet, because if he really wanted to mess with someone, let alone the "Guest Rules", even the Seven Gods would be useless!

As they walked forward with laughter, Lyanna ran out and said, "Rose, we saw many barbarians in chains on the road. Are they the slaves you bought?"

"No, to be precise, they were brought back from Skaggs!" Zhang Cheng explained calmly with a smile on his face.

"Skaggs? You started a war without permission?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Ed's face showed a solemn expression.

"As an earl, I have to protect the safety of my subjects. Besides, those barbarians don't understand the teachings of the Seven Gods at all. I am fighting for God!"

Looking at Ed seriously, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Staring at Zhang Cheng, Ed hesitated for a long time and said, "Do you believe in the Seven Gods?"

"Yes, bathing in the glory of the Seven Gods will make me more courageous!"

Looking at Ed calmly, Zhang Cheng explained,
But at this time, Robert and Lyanna beside them couldn't help but wonder,
Because as the Zähringen family, their previous belief was the Old Gods, just like the Stark family!
But now, Zhang Cheng, the Count of Zähringen, has actually converted to the Seven Gods?

Although the Seven Gods are the orthodox in Westeros, this is not the case in the North!
Just like the people on the Iron Islands all believe in the Drowned God!
However, while watching Zhang Cheng talking, the scholar Green beside him fell silent.

Because what Zhang Cheng said was simply nonsense. After all, as a bachelor, how could I not know whether he believed in the Seven Gods or not?
He never prayed and was not pious, as if faith was just a tool to him!
Arriving in the hall, it was lunch time.
When the maids served delicious barbecue and many ingredients from the continent of Essos, Ed couldn't help but ask, "Have you got any merchant ships from Essos?"

"Of course not. I sent someone to Essos to buy it! After all, it only takes a tiny amount of time, right?"

Looking at Ed with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng cut a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.
While Ed was maintaining his composure, Robert beside him had already started to suck in the whirlwind.

Looking at the busy maid next to him, Ed said awkwardly, "He must be hungry!"

"I think so too!"

Thinking of the food he had at the last Winterfell banquet, Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched.
Because compared to what they eat, what they eat in Eagle Castle is food!
After finishing lunch, even the most ladylike Lyanna couldn't help burping.

"Why don't we go hunting? I need to digest some food!"

With a happy smile, Robert always wanted to find something to do after eating.

Zhang Cheng certainly had no way of refusing Robert's invitation. After all, he was the host, and it would be extremely rude if he didn't accompany him.
Even if Zhang Cheng didn't want to go, he didn't want to be bullied by Robert's big mouth.
After all, this unfortunate guy is going to be the king in the future!
Although the crown is a little green, he is the king after all!
Robert: You're teasing me?
Zhang Cheng: Everyone knows about your family’s problems!
But just as everyone was packing up, Zhang Cheng blew the whistle and said, "Laifu, come out!"

"Roar!"

With a huge roar, the shadow mountain cat jumped down from the city wall.
But when Robert and the others saw the shadowy mountain cat in front of them, they were immediately frightened and at a loss, holding their weapons tightly.

But the soldiers did not react.

But looking at the shadowy mountain cat in front of her, Lyanna asked in astonishment: "What did you just call it?"

"Laifu! It's a nice name, right!"

Stroking the shadow mountain cat that was almost two people tall, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "This little guy seems to have eaten a little too much recently!"

Looking at the shadow cat in astonishment, Robert and Eddard's eyes were full of shock, because this Laifu could tear everyone present to pieces, right?
