Westland, Crake Forest.

This is a huge primeval forest, which covers an area as large as two earldoms. It starts from the territory of Corn City in the east, connects with the territory of Red Lake and Ancient Oak City in the south, and reaches the Sea of ​​Sunset in the west. in.

As one of the gateways to the western region, Crake Forest's defense level is not as good as that of Golden Tooth City or Deep Cave City, but as long as the coastal road is blocked, the enemy troops will roam around in the forest like headless chickens until the soldiers lose their lives. Confidence in attacking the West.

At this moment, deep in the forest, at a certain intersection on Honghu Road, a small military camp is rapidly taking shape.

Twenty peasant soldiers wearing worn mail and pointed helmets are making fences from the cut wood to intercept the passing enemies on horseback. The remaining nearly 30 people are building tents, hearths, and simple stables. Youxian made a toilet so that the leading knights could look more decent.

The farrier who accompanied the army was repairing the knight's horseshoes, and a young man wearing a black manticore coat of arms on a white background was staring at the farrier.

"Why does hoof repairing make you feel good?"

Young Weems' uncle, Knight Laurent Lodge asked.

He is the patriarch of the Lodge family of property knights. After being recruited by the lord's family, he brought nine adult men in the village under his jurisdiction, as well as his nephew Weems Lodge, plus [-] from the Creher family. A newly recruited armed peasant came to station at this intersection.

Their mission was to monitor the intersection, intercept the scouting team of a few or a dozen people, and report to the Crake Hall about the possible arrival of the large group of people.

"I don't know, maybe it's the removal of useless debris that makes me feel that the world is still saved." Weems replied.

He is a very melancholy person, and the recent situation has made him even more anxious.

The 300-strong army of dragon bearers has already advanced to the vicinity of Yinshan City in the east of the western border, and there is an army of river bends gathering at the red lake in the south. If there is no accident, the people of the western border and the Lannister family will fight against each other in the next one or two months. Encountered the most humiliating moment in [-] years.

To make matters worse, the Arryn family in the valley, the allies of the people in the west, stood still, the Bolton family in the north was powerless and did not want to go south to lend a helping hand, and the golden regiment in the Stormlands was out of reach.

Wilms was very confused, the situation had collapsed to such an extent, why didn't the adults of Casterly Rock City, especially Lord Kai Feng, who is in charge of the Fengjun family, surrender?
Although he was not very clear about the history, he vaguely knew that as long as the nobles surrendered, the king would generally not embarrass him.

After the farrier branded the red-hot horseshoe on the neatly trimmed horseshoe, Weems suddenly lost interest in this act.

He straightened up and turned to his uncle, "Tell me, why is Lord Kevan still insisting? Could it be that we really have a turning point? Or is it because the nobles firmly believe that the enemy cannot penetrate the depths of the Western Territory?"

The short but extremely strong Laurent looked at his nephew's frustrated face for a while before replying:
"We, the Rocky family, are just warriors raised by the nobles. We will do whatever the master asks us to do. Besides, do you still want to understand Lord Kevan's thoughts? Do you have that brain?"

The farrier who finished repairing a horseshoe expressed his thoughts to the strange knight uncle and nephew.

"Sir, I think this is the reason: when pigs are slaughtered in the village, they will be stabbed with a knife, because the pigs are already raised in the pigsty, but when killing free-range dogs, it is necessary to give it some benefits to lure it over. Then find a way to tie the dog, if you can't be lured, there is nothing you can do."

"In the current situation, if we surrender directly, we will be pigs in the pigsty, at the mercy of the king and the people of Hewan. But if we resist for a while, maybe we can really survive."

The dark-skinned farrier chuckled, showing his yellowish teeth, and continued with his work.

After listening for a while, Laurent directly raised the horsewhip in his hand, and whipped it at the farrier assigned to him by the Kreher family.

"You understand, right? I'm a majestic knight, and I still need you to reason with me?"

He struck so fast that the farrier had no time to react, and he was hit hard with the whip.

But when Laurent raised the whip again, he found that he couldn't go on.

"Uncle, there is some truth to what they said, can you stop being so barbaric?"

Wilms reached out to stop Laurent's movement, and then said to himself:

"Since the result is still surrender, why don't the two sides just show their strength, and they have to recruit tens of thousands of troops, and wait for a trial before negotiating?"

Laurent, who looked down on civilians, did not make things difficult for his nephew. He groaned and said, "What are you thinking about so much? After the horseshoe is repaired, we will go to the east to have a look. I heard that the pioneer troops of the Hewan people have come from the Red Lake. Not only to intercept, but also to understand the movement of nearby troops."

As a knight, he was right to do his duty, but it was never too late to carry it out.

At least [-] horsemen and armored Hewan elite cavalry suddenly rushed out from the southeast side of the path, ignoring the obstruction of the forest, and launched an attack on this small camp.

"It came so fast!" Laurent was startled and angry. His horseshoe hadn't been put on yet, so it was inconvenient for him to run.

He asked angrily, "Is the shoe nailed?"

"Okay, okay," replied the farrier who had just been whipped, and even though there was only one nail in the last shoe, he still lied about the completion of the job.

"Great, nephew, you take the soldiers to stand firm in the camp, and I will report to the Crake Hall."

After finishing speaking, Laurent didn't care about his subordinates who were already in a mess, and immediately got on his horse and galloped towards the west.

Wilms didn't have the idea of ​​sticking to it. He glanced at the group of cavalry who were only a few dozen steps away from the camp, knelt down on the spot, and at the same time shouted to the peasant soldiers behind him:
"Kneel well, let the gentlemen in the south count."

Seeing that a knight had already fled, and his legs could not run as far as the horses of the cavalry, most of the peasant soldiers knelt down on the spot, and the few remaining hesitant people also looked at the face of the iron gun and knelt down. In front of the river bay cavalry.

Garlan Tyrell lifted his mask, glanced at the knights of the western region who had fled, and ordered:
"Hanwei, take ten cavalrymen to chase after him, and you must kill that man to prevent the news from leaking out."

Although the officer of the Tyrell cavalry who was pointed was doubtful whether he could catch up, he still carried out the order.

And Garland himself got off his horse and began to ask Weems Lodge in detail about the defense of the Westlanders.

Such scenes are still being staged in various places in the Crake Forest. What the people of the western border did not expect was that Garland solved the ironborn invasion much faster than they imagined.

……

King's Landing City, Maegor's House in the Red Castle.

This is the master bedroom on the fourth floor, which was originally the room of the Queen Mother Cersei, and was assigned to his wife Sansa by King Arthur I.

Of course, Cersei's dresses and clothes, which filled the utility room, and boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry were also inherited by Queen Sansa.

Although Sansa thinks it's not decent, it's like picking up trash.

At this moment, the pregnant queen was lying on a soft couch, looking at the scene outside the balcony from a distance.

Two weeks ago, her husband, Arthur I, had already gone to the western region to put down the rebellious Lannisters and their vassal families, leaving him alone in Maegor's Mansion with a large group of servants.

Deng Deng Deng!
Footsteps sounded, and Brienne Tass walked in, "Your Majesty, Chef Hannibal asked if you would like a piece of lemon cake for dinner? He can prepare it in advance."

Hannibal is a chef in King's Landing. He was discovered by the king because he was good at making pastries and cakes. He was hired as the pastry chef of Maegor's House, specializing in making lemon cakes for Queen Sansa.

"Let's have a piece, pregnancy is so boring, and the new Grand Master Geman won't let me go out to exercise..."

Compared with a few months ago, Sansa's face is much rounder now, and she looks a lot plumper.

She suddenly remembered something, turned her head and asked one of her personal guards:

"By the way, at what age do you plan to get married? Women always want to find a reliable husband, and it's better to settle down."

She felt that the most correct thing she had done since she went south was to find a capable husband.

Although Arthur made her very dissatisfied with marrying a wife, this dissatisfaction was dispelled a lot when she thought that she had become the mistress of the Red Castle and King's Landing, and even the queen of the entire Seven Kingdoms.

At least there is Margaery who is as embarrassed as I am. Doesn't she also share her husband?Queen Sansa comforted herself like this.

Brienne bowed gracefully, and then replied: "Your Majesty, some women's battlefields are marriage and childbirth, while some women's battlefields are horse riding and hacking. I think I am the second type of woman."

Miss Tars's previous armor had become tattered, so Queen Sansa, who had a little money, ordered someone to forge a pair of black iron armor for her.

Now that Brienne took off her veil, no one would think of her as a weak woman.

Among the existing Kingsguards, it is known that Loras Tyrell is Brienne's defeated opponent. Although Sandor Clegane said he could beat her, he never dared to fight her. Judging from the behavior of fighting Brienne, the Hound probably couldn't beat it.

In addition, Baron Swann can't beat Loras, and Aris Oakheart is not as good as Baron Svenn. Brienne is vaguely the first guard of Maegor Tower.

With such guards and Sandor's presence, Sansa was sure no one could use force against her in this building except her husband Arthur.

"You have the same hobbies as my sister Arya..."

Sansa smiled, and was about to chat for a while, but suddenly saw her female guard's face change drastically.

"What's the matter, could it be that someone flew in from the balcony?" the queen asked with a smile.

She thought Brienne was joking with herself.

But a heavy breathing dispelled her thoughts.

Queen Sansa, who had just thought she was safe enough in Maegor's Tower, turned slowly and saw one of the greatest threats in her life.

A black faucet emerged from the balcony, and the longan's eyes were red and black, and the dark red light emitted was shocking.

It looked fiercer than her husband's Alduin, Sansa thought to herself.

Then the dragon flew low, revealing the rider on its back to the queen and Brienne.

This is a girl whose beauty cannot be described in words.

The cunning but gentle eyes are flowing in the purple pupils, the dust on the face can hardly conceal the creamy white skin, and against the backdrop of the black dragon, there seems to be a faint brilliance emerging from the girl's body.

"Is this square keep Maegor's Tower?" Daenerys asked the two in the room.

She was also observing the two people in the room. The beautiful woman on the soft couch looked like a noble lady, and the tall woman beside her was wearing iron armor and looked like a female guard.

It should be a certain wife of the eldest nephew!The quick-witted Dani guessed the truth.

Sansa, who can be regarded as one of the beauties in the north, is still jealous of this girl's appearance, but Brienne has already reacted.

She walked quickly to the queen's soft couch to protect her, and then replied: "Yes? May I ask you something?"

"That's good!" Dani threw her small package on the balcony, then slowly arched her body, stepped on the faucet and jumped into the room.

"This is also my home. You are Sansa, right? According to seniority, I am your aunt."

The Dragon Queen swaggered to the round table, picked up the cup, poured herself a cup of liquid from the jug, and poured it up.

"Auntie?" Sansa looked surprised when she started doing it, she now imitates the noble ladies in the south and combs her hair anytime and anywhere.

"You don't look as old as me!"

As the beautiful girl walked around, Queen Sansa had visually measured the girl's height.

About to the tip of your nose.

"Why sour plum juice?" Dany mumbled in a low voice, and then looked at Sansa who was still sitting on the soft couch.

"Do you mean age or seniority? I am older than you. My aunt came to see you from thousands of leagues away, and you are still sitting still? At least you have to get me a warm meal." Rice!"

She looked more and more wrong, so she looked directly at Queen Sansa's belly.

"Are you pregnant?" As an experienced person, Dani is already very experienced.

Only pregnant women with eccentric temperaments will always have sour or spicy drinking water and food.

Sansa and Brienne looked at this beautiful girl who they knew so well, and didn't know what to say.

After being startled for a while, the queen noticed the silver-haired and purple-eyed appearance.

"Are you Daenerys Stormborn?"

The Dragon Queen said dissatisfied: "You just realized it, Auntie, I'm angry. First go to the kitchen to cook a meal for me, and then call my eldest nephew over. I want to discuss important matters with him."

"The first thing is all right, but my husband isn't in the Red Keep right now, he's not even near here, but far to the west."

Sansa rang the bell to summon the maid, and ordered her to cook a meal for the distinguished guest, whether it was lunch or dinner.

……

West Territory, Hejian Avenue.

The king, who had already dealt with the second wedding, was leading his army to the city of Sarsfield.

The western section of the Golden Road was already covered with traps set by the Lion Army, which was not suitable for a large army to attack, so the army circled around again, first entering the riverland from the river valley near Jiaogu City, and then from the upper reaches of the Red Fork River. cross the shoal westward, and then enter the western region from the Golden Tooth City.

Beside the king, several people including Prince Oberon, Maester Qyburn, and the imp were discussing about the gods.

This was a topic that Arthur I brought up. Although everyone didn't understand why the king liked to talk about it, there were quite a few people who met him.

"My personal point of view is that there are no gods in this world. The so-called old gods are just the general term for all the weirwoods. As for the seven gods, they are just gods made up by the Andans to stabilize their rule. The other gods, such as Rees's The Weeping Lady, and the Rhoyne of the Rhoynar, and the Black Goat of Qohor, and the Many-Faced God of Braavos, are like it."

Cobain, who advocates atheism, said so.
