Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 158 Allied with Dragon Mama

The night is like a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, in Cersei's eager eyes, it is long overdue.

Only in the dark did she feel safe.

Hearing the noise coming from outside the Meige Tower, the Queen Mother poured herself a glass of wine, held the glass, walked to the balcony, and slowly sipped it.

Even though the whole world was shrouded in darkness, Cersei could see, by the light of torches, the servants of the Red Keep carrying buckets of water to wash the ground near the throne room.

She could even hear the neighing of people outside the Red Keep, soldiers from the houses of the Reach shouting their allegiance to the Iron Throne.

Squeak!

The door of the interview drawing room was suddenly opened, and a bloody Ser Adam Marbrand came in.

One of his left arms rested limply on his side, and it looked like it was useless.

Marin Tran followed behind him. Since the situation was chaotic, he was the Queen's most trusted Kingsguard.

Cersei walked towards the visitor with a smile, "Sir, how is our battle going? Have the soldiers of the Riverbend surrendered?"

After nodding his head in pain, Adam reported to the Queen Mother about his achievements during the day: "A total of 67 patriarchs, large and small, were captured. In addition to the three Tyrells, Paxter Redwyne, Brian Fossoway, Aegon Levill, and a dozen or so valuable nobles were all sent to the Prime Minister's Tower. As for the knights, 150 or eight were captured, and all of them have now been locked up in the Virgin's House."

The actions during the day are led by Cersei, and Adam is responsible for implementing them.

Of course, Sir Adam, who is quite normal-minded, rejected the Queen Mother's idea of ​​beheading all the nobles of the River Bend from the very beginning. as a result of.

Cersei, who thought she was only two sons short of her father, pretended to accept Sir Adam's advice graciously after listening to the proposal of a true loyal minister.

"Garlan Tyrell didn't enter the Throne Hall at the beginning, so he led the army of the River Bend into King's Landing City from Linhe Gate and King's Gate. Fortunately, your behavior of letting the commoners see the king helped We were busy, and this slowed down the advance of the soldiers at the Reach, allowing us to clean up the mess in the Throne Hall and the Red Keep."

After the king was "assassinated", the lion family soldiers hiding in the cellar and the secret passage suddenly rushed out and closed the gate of the Red Castle in the name of catching the assassin.

As a result, a group of civilians and Hewan noble knights fell into the lion's mouth, and the valuable Hewan people were fortunately killed as captives.Hundreds of civilians who were useless to Queen Cersei were completely silenced, and each got a seat in Blackwater Bay.

"How are the negotiations with Ser Balon Swann?" Cersei asked.

After the soldiers of the Reach entered the city of King's Landing, Sir Adam asked her to send a nobleman of status to negotiate. The Queen Mother agreed, and then sent another Kingsguard.

"Garland reluctantly agreed to lead his troops to withdraw from King's Landing, and divide his troops to attack the Stormlands and the Riverlands. As long as the three Tyrells are in our hands, he still doesn't dare to tear himself apart with us."

In order to maintain decency, the public view of this matter is that the king was assassinated, and the royal family kept them in the Red Castle in order to protect the loyal subjects of the river bend.

With his loved ones in his hands, Garland neither dared to attack the Red Keep, nor dared to lead his troops back to the Reach, so he could only be at the mercy of the Lannister family.

"Yes, my son's kingdom is finally developing in a good direction."

Cersei raised the wine glass high in her hand, motioned to Adam, and drank it down.

"In this matter, Sir, you are the first to contribute, so I decided to reward you, title, territory, gold, whatever you want."

Adam raised his left arm, "I hurt my arm, and I heard that the witch doctor in Braavos can heal it, so I thought..."

Cersei walked to the table, put down the wine glass, and sat down slowly.

After she pondered for a moment, "After the soldiers of the Riverbend left King's Landing, Sir Adam went to Braavos as an envoy of the Iron Throne, to heal your arm, to borrow money from the Iron Bank, and to hire a mercenary Regiment, to enrich the military force directly under the royal family."

There is indeed gold in the western region, but it cannot be transported to King's Landing City in a short time, not to mention the current situation, Cersei does not dare to let Uncle Kevan, who is short of troops, send someone to send gold.The mint outside the city was also burned into ruins, temporarily unable to mint gold dragon coins.

After several wars, the main force of the lion family has been reduced to more than 9000 people, which greatly weakens the military strength directly under Lannister.

So the wise and wise Queen Mother came up with this trick.

Adam Marbrand nodded painfully, bowed slightly and left.

Now all he wanted was Grand Maester Pycelle to get him a cup of milk of the poppy, to ease the pain.

……

Oakshield Island, Harbor.

Euron, in full suit of Valyrian steel, and his tongueless crew, came to summon his third brother Victarion in secret.

"I need a noble woman who matches my identity to bear me children. Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen is the best choice. The sea monster will marry the dragon, and the whole world will Trembling at our feet."

Euron was aloud to Victarion about a bright future after marrying Daenerys.

Victarion was not interested in the words of his cunning brother, his eyes were fixed on the Valyrian steel armor on Euron.

This kind of scale armor, which was as dark as smog, was as light as a thin silk shirt when worn.The edges of the scales are reddish-gold and shimmer when in motion.The metal of steel armor is adorned with threads, runes, and mystical hieroglyphs.

"...The journey to Slaver's Bay will take four or five months at the earliest, or more than half a year at the slowest. In order to make up for the loss of your inability to plunder the Reach, I will give you a precious Valyrian horn."

As he spoke, Euron ordered his mute crew to open a large chest beside it, and then let the horn of the dragon inside be displayed before Victarion's eyes.

"This is the Horn of the Dragon Binder, you have seen it before, and now I officially give it to you."

At the previous Kingsmoot, Euron used the Dragonbinder's Horn to stop the conflict between Victarion's supporters and Asha's supporters.

It was a twisted horn six feet long from head to toe, gleaming with black lights and streaked with red gold and Valyrian black steel.The horn was as warm and smooth as a naked thigh.Its surface was shiny, bright enough for one to see one's distorted reflection in it.Strange ancient talismans are inscribed on the stripes that wrap the horn.

At the king election meeting, the sound of the trumpet sounded like thousands of souls screaming, and the bones of those who heard it seemed to be burning, and the scorching flames roasted people's flesh and blood from the inside out.The runes turned fiery red at first, and then glowed a blinding white, making it difficult to look directly at.

Once Victarion saw the dragonbinder, he could no longer take his eyes away.

Although he knew that the gift from his second brother was poisonous wine, he also wanted to taste one or two.

"Okay, I'll go to Slaver's Bay right now, and bring back Daenerys, the mother of dragons, and her three giant dragons. But this route is too far away, and I need to bring more boats."

Euron's only blue eyes showed a smile, and he spread his hands, "No problem at all, you can choose the longships of the Iron Fleet as you like, and to show my sincerity, I will also send you a bachelor and a salt concubine, Kevin, you come over."

He pointed out a bachelor to his third brother.

Victarion didn't pay attention to these details, he pointed to the iron ships docked at the port, and began to ask for one by one from his second brother.

"...Not many, I just take these ninety iron ships and that's enough."

After talking for a long time, he picked out all the boats he wanted.

Victarion thought that his second brother would cut the part, but Euron agreed.

This made him vigilant.

But as long as the Iron Ship is in hand, Victarion will have nothing to fear.

Daenerys, the mother of dragons, is his, as are the three dragons.

The two were brothers and sisters, and after discussing everything, Euron asked the third brother to leave early.

"What about you, shouldn't a river bend be in your eyes?" Victarion asked.

Euron pointed to the old town in the southeast direction, "There, there is the towering tower and the school city, and these two are my goals."

He traveled the whole world and learned many secrets.

According to "Strange Stones" compiled by a scholar of Xierlun, the base of the towering tower and the seat of the sea stone are made of the same material, and both were built by the deep diver Dagon.

Dagon is an attendant of the Drowned God, and the relationship between the two is similar to that of the Three-Eyed Raven and the Old Gods.

Euron's goal is to take down the Academy City and Tower of Towers, thoroughly figure out how to attract the Drowned God, and then make the whole world surrender under his feet.

……

On the south side of the Mingyue Mountains.

In a relatively flat dense forest, hundreds of soldiers from both sides were facing each other with a stone's throw away.

With the help of insiders such as Simon Templeton and Jerwood Hunter, the heads-up strategy of the two leaders was successfully implemented.

In front of the Valley Army formation, Lynn Corbray, wearing a silver plate armor, rode on a horse, yelling and cursing:

"I don't care what kind of dragon owner you are, what kind of champion of the martial arts tournament, you have to be honest in front of me."

Behind him, Simon and other Lords of the Vale were praising Lynn.

"From the time you killed Levin Martell 15 years ago, I firmly believe that you are the most powerful knight in the valley."

"Isn't it just an Arthur Bracken? Doesn't he know how to wield a sledgehammer? No one can hold two swords against your Valyrian steel sword, Lady Kongji."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I think Sir Lynn could kill that little Arthur with a single blow."

"That is, how old was little Arthur when Lord Corbray became famous? Was he weaned?"

Lynn Corbray was greatly benefited from the praise of these valley bigwigs.

Because his elder brother was jealous that his father passed on the family sword to him, he didn't give him living expenses, which made his life very unsatisfactory in recent years.

Usually, these famous nobles didn't take him seriously at all, but now that the enemy is facing them, these people finally remembered his achievements.

"Silence!" The showy Lynn yelled at the nobles of the valley, and pulled out Ms. Kongji, "Watch me cut off little Arthur's dog's head with a sword."

The valley knights closed their mouths cooperatively.

He turned the horse's head, pressed the visor, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and let the mount slowly run towards the enemy.

Opposite him, Arthur stared at Lynn who was coming towards him with dead eyes, and then asked Podrick to hand over his golden Guan knife.

This broadsword has been reforged by Gendry, so it is naturally extremely sharp.

After nodding to the sharpshooter Angai who was hiding among the soldiers, Arthur also pressed down his visor and rode his horse towards Lynn.

"I heard that you are good at fighting?" Even though the opponent's giant horse and sword made him very afraid, Lin En's mouth was still as hard as ever.

He tightened the reins, slowing the horse's forward speed.

"Surrender now, and I will spare you."

King Hejian ignored him and stated his conditions.

As a benevolent king, he persuaded the enemy to surrender before every fight.

The arrogant Lynn laughed, "It's the other way around, it should be you who surrendered to me."

Seeing that the persuasion to capitulate was ineffective, Arthur waved his hand lightly, and a powerful arrow shot out behind him, hitting Lynn's mount in the eye.

The whole body of this war horse is covered with iron sheets, and there is even a fart curtain behind the buttocks, but it is exposed near the eyes.

Suddenly hit by an arrow, the war horse pouted immediately and threw Lin En off.

But Lynn's feet were still hanging from the stirrups, which caused poor Lynn to be dragged a long way by the furious mount.

"Ah~"

His screams echoed throughout the forest.

Arthur was not idle either, he drove the giant red horse to the vicinity of Lynn, and slashed the enemy's breastplate with a deep dent.

Lin En's cry became even more miserable, and the injured horse finally got rid of him, and the two fell to the ground one after another.

King Hejian got off his horse, walked up to Lynn Corbray, pulled out the tile-steel dagger gifted by the Rowan family from his boots, and then lifted Lynn's mask. It pierced straight through the neck.

A large amount of black blood flowed from the corners of Lynn Corbray's mouth and wounds, and his eyes began to dim.

Arthur pulled the "Lady of Silence" from his hand, then found the scabbard, and accepted the Valyrian steel sword with peace of mind.

After the death of the commander, the nobles of the valley led the soldiers to retreat in a grandiose show.

"Let's go, Mr. Lin En, who is the most powerful in the valley, is dead, how can we fight?"

"Retreat, don't let the Hejian people catch up."

Most of the soldiers in the Valley came from families close to Stark, such as Templeton, Hunter, and Belmore. The relationship between House Governor Cobray and Lynn was average, so no soldiers were sent to help his brother fight.

This left Lynn's body to be carried away only by his squire, Michelle Redford.

But Arianne, Princess of Dorne, two Sand Snakes, and their guard stopped the poor squire.

"He killed my great-uncle, so his body should be disposed of by us Dornish."

The spearmen in yellow cloth armor took Lynn's body and captured Michelle Redford.

Afterwards, Arthur returned to the camp with the soldiers.

In the next half day, the Valley Army and King Hejian's army negotiated many times. After changing the hostages, the two sides retreated respectively.

Ronald Vance of Alan City was sent to the Valley Army, and Harlan Hunter of the Longbow Hall came to the River Army.

Since the relationship between the Frey family and the Hunter family is not bad, the hostage exchange went smoothly.

The war in the north has come to an end. Next, Arthur has to consider how to form an alliance with Daenerys, his most potential ally.
