For travel safety, Daenerys always chose wider streets whenever she came to Flea Bottom to give alms, so she quickly approached the Cathedral Square.
At this time, Dreamfire, Aposos, and Simoros had already descended from high in the sky to the square. The crowd that had gathered there had already quickly fled the area upon seeing the dragon about to land.
However, the crowd fleeing from the square quickly blocked Daenerys's path. Evidently, their fear of the dragon far surpassed their reverence for the royal princess.
The oncoming crowd rushed towards Daenerys without a second thought. The two Mastiffs by Daenerys's side, seeing this, made to attack the crowd.
"Ohm, Galdan, quiet!"
Daenerys quickly restrained them and swiftly moved to the wall, avoiding the impact of the crowd, and had the two Mastiffs protect her, one in front and one behind. Upon seeing the two calf-sized Mastiffs, the crowd wisely gave way.
This allowed Daenerys to finally move little by little towards the square, which was now within reach. However, she soon felt that the three individuals had changed their faces and were rapidly converging on Daenerys.
They all moved like ghosts, agile and capable of cleverly avoiding the crowd's impact.
"It seems they are Faceless Men, no doubt. Did Braavos become unable to tolerate my existence so quickly?"
Daenerys had actually been mentally prepared for this for a long time; she knew she would confront the Faceless Men of Braavos sooner or later. After all, she was determined to establish her own kingdom.
Now, the fact that she could control a dragon was no longer a secret. It seemed this had reawakened the Free Trade Cities' fear of being dominated by the Valyrian dragon Kings.
To nip the dangerous bud in the bud, it was not surprising that they dispatched the Faceless Men. However, Daenerys had been preparing for this.
Feeling the Faceless Men getting closer and closer, Daenerys directly mounted the Mastiff, Galdan.
"Galdan, charge through!"
"Woof!"
Galdan's bark was deep and powerful, frightening the crowd ahead, who quickly made way. But because there were too many people surging forward, many still couldn't get out of the way in time.
So Galdan would swat them away with a paw, then leap forcefully, directly trampling over the crowd as he rapidly charged forward.
This caused many people to fall, leading to even greater congestion behind Daenerys. Even with their exceptional skills, the three Faceless Men's speed was greatly affected by the continuous stream of people.
Thus, the distance between Daenerys and them widened again.
But just as Daenerys turned the corner and was about to reach the Cathedral Square, a cloaked figure suddenly leaped up and lunged at Daenerys on Galdan's back.
Only then did Daenerys sense the approaching person's magical fluctuations. She inwardly thought, "This is bad!"
"This is a master Faceless Man!"
As thoughts raced through her mind, Daenerys had no time to think further. She directly pulled out the dragonbone Valyrian dagger "Firefall" from her waist and quickly chanted,
"Blood Fire Source... Firefall Flowing Goblet!"
Just as this Faceless Man leaped up to attack Daenerys, six or seven agile large cats directly sprang from the rooftops, swiftly pouncing on the assailant and knocking him down from mid-air.
The large cats' sharp claws were now firmly gripping the Faceless Man's body, and they began tearing at him wildly. Especially the large cat that jumped onto his head, caught him off guard and actually ripped off his human skin mask.
The Faceless Man fiercely swung the dagger in his hand, severely injuring several large cats in just a few strikes. At this moment, the other Mastiff, Ohm, suddenly pounced on the Faceless Man.
"Ugh!"
Ohm's heavy body pressed down on the Faceless Man, causing him to let out a muffled groan.
Ohm first bit his thigh, fiercely flinging him away. Then, taking advantage of the Faceless Man falling to the ground, he viciously bit towards his neck.
Facing such a predicament, the Faceless Man showed no panic. He swiftly swung the dagger in his hand, cutting Ohm's belly as quickly as a butterfly flitting through flowers, and also wounding several large cats that attacked again.
However, in just this short while, the nearby crowd had already fled. Dreamfire, who sensed Daenerys, had also arrived at the scene. Just as the unnamed individual was about to attack Daenerys on the Mastiff's back again,
Black and blue Dragonflame swept over him head-on. No matter how agile he was, his body from the waist down was completely charred, and the intense pain caused him to instantly faint.
Ignoring the Faceless Man, Daenerys quickly climbed onto Dreamfire's back.
At this moment, the other three Faceless Men had also arrived a few meters away. Seeing the tragic state of their companion and Dreamfire's terrifying body, they knew this mission had failed, so they quickly fled into the crowd.
However, Daenerys would not give them a chance to escape. The magical fluctuations on their bodies were like bright lights in the darkness, unable to escape Daenerys's perception.
Fortunately, the street between Flea Bottom and the Cathedral Square was wide enough to accommodate Dreamfire's massive size.
At this point, Daniella no longer cared about the lives of the commoners. She directly rode Dreamfire, trampling over the commoners' bodies as she chased after the three Faceless Men.
But by this time, the crowd had already been scared witless by the dragon's actions. The road ahead was completely blocked, and no matter how agile the three Faceless Men were, they found it impossible to move.
So they were quickly caught by Dreamfire, who then knocked them unconscious with a single paw. Although in this process, a dozen or so people were likely injured or killed as collateral.
Daenerys had always wanted to establish a positive and benevolent image among the people of King's Landing. She did not want people to harbor too much hatred towards the dragon and the royal family.
However, they clearly saw their princess, who usually treated them with care, being hunted, yet they showed no reaction whatsoever. This still caused an endless rage to erupt within Daenerys.
"Since my life is worthless in your eyes, then I don't need to care about your dog lives!"
Daenerys had Dreamfire grab the three and a half Faceless Men and rushed towards the blacksmith's shop, where he was helping her reforge "sweet widow."
At this time, this valyrian steel sword was just one final Blood Sacrifice ritual away from completion.
"Aren't these Faceless Men the best materials for a Blood Sacrifice?!"
"Greetings, Your Royal Highness!"
The blacksmith master looked at the people brought by Dreamfire and immediately understood the princess's intention.
"They are Faceless Men from Braavos. Have the apprentices strip their clothes, search every possible hiding place thoroughly, and then chain them up."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness!"
This blacksmith master was considered someone who had seen big scenes in King's Landing.
However, seeing the three and a half Faceless Men before him still made him feel a shiver of fear.
