Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 97 King's Landing Prepares for Battle
"Here is news from the north." Tyrion held up the parchment.

The news is that Winterfell was captured by the iron people. The news on this piece of paper is much more detailed than the one in Cole's hand. It says Ed Stark's second son Bran Stark and his youngest son Bran Stark. Rickon Stark was burned by Theon Greyjoy.

The imp knew his queen sister would be delighted to hear the news, but it wasn't good news for them.

Those of the Stark family are likely to extend their hatred to them, just like the indiscriminate disaster he suffered in the Eagle's Nest City.

A lion will always be framed for nothing more than because he eats meat.But wolves are not much better, Tyrion thought.

He had to tell Cersei to be optimistic about the girl named "Sansa", this is their only bargaining chip, if she is allowed to escape like Ed Stark, then his brother James will really not be able to return coming.

I heard that Eddard Stark appeared at Stannis's place, and I thought it was the same. They all thought that Stannis was the heir to the throne, but everyone knew that the throne should belong to the Targaryen family. It was not Stannis' turn to sit, but across the Narrow Sea, the son of the Mad King.

Compared to these, it was the kid Cole who really made Tyrion feel uneasy.

He had obviously asked his father to make him a knight, and even proposed to make Harrenhal his fief.But now he is actually working under Stannis, and he has done a lot of great things.

You see, you have done so much for Stannis, and he has left you in ruins.

When he first saw the news, Tyrion even thought he was reading a knight's biography.

The Cole in the letter made him feel strange. The unknown boy who followed behind him actually had such a powerful ability. Tyrion couldn't help thinking: It would be great if he was in King's Landing at this moment.

He thought Cole was dead, and even felt sad about it for a while, but he miraculously came back to life.

Is the friendship between the two deep?Not really, but they just stayed with each other for about two months. Even the bond between Shae and him was much stronger than this friendship.

He is a bastard who clings to the powerful, Tyrion cursed secretly in his heart: Just like Bronn, whoever gets the money will do his business.

Tyrion really wanted to tell him nicely: "Stannis will pay you, and Lannister will pay double."

Now Stannis is coming to King's Landing with an army that was all given to him by that boy Kor.But there is also good news, Cole seems to be put behind by Stannis, let him stay at Storm's End.

Tyrion couldn't understand why he did that. Could it be that he thought that the kid's record was too outstanding, and he was afraid that others would say that Stannis won the Iron Throne by relying on Cole?

No, it is foolish enough to think so.

Or was Stannis trying to give Cole the Castle of Storm's End?

May I ask if Tywin will seal Casterly Rock City to others?Obviously impossible.Just as he would not consider himself an heir, Father would not let him inherit Casterly Rock even if he would have preferred him to die in battle or join the Night's Watch.

But this is the best, at least we don't have to meet each other on the battlefield.

Tyrion made sufficient preparations in King's Landing. He told Cersei that the castle would not fall, but he was not confident. Although the castle had been fortified by generations of Targaryens.

Although the castle is high enough and thick enough.But they don't have that many numbers to guard.

More than half of the people in the capital defense team were newly recruited, so he shouldn't have too high expectations for them.

The alchemists brought him a liquid that could burn on water, which they called "Wildfire".

But from Tyrion's point of view, the green flames looked like ghosts one after another.Anyway, let Stannis' fleet have a taste of the ghost.

All he could hope for was that his father Tywin would lead his troops to arrive sooner, and they wouldn't be able to guard for long at all.

He let Shagga and others all enter the imperial forest, and he hoped that the warriors of these mountain clan tribes would stop the Stannis army for a while.

Although these barbarian warriors are brave, discipline is far more important than bravery in regular battles, especially city defense battles.He wouldn't doubt that these people would flee or surrender to the enemy, but he absolutely couldn't count on them to follow orders and defend the city walls.

Tyrion assembled dozens of ships on the Blackwater River. Except for the fleet that originally belonged to the city defense, he found all the merchant ships docked in King's Landing. At this time, there was not a single boat on the entire Blackwater River.

There is even a group of traitors in the city who have already called Stannis king in advance. They are called "Antler Men", but these fools don't know that news of them has leaked out.

There is a eunuch in the royal palace, whose abilities even make Tyrion feel afraid, but at least for now, he has helped Tyrion a lot.

Had it not been for his informant, Tyrion would never have known of the existence of the antlers.

If it breaks out on the battlefield, it will be a great hidden danger.

He has done all he can.But older sister Cersei doesn't seem to think so.

She blamed herself for stealing Tommen and for killing Joffrey.She even used Shae to blackmail him.

Cersei didn't need her beautiful head to think about it. Before Joffrey gave birth to a child, Tommen was his heir, and Tyrion just wanted to protect him.

As for harming Joffrey, although this kid is a bastard, how could he do anything to his relatives.

Who knows, he's a little devil anyway, if he provokes him, he'll arrest anyone and send him to the seventh level of hell.

The courtyard of the Red Castle goes directly into the hall, and the castle has seven towers in total.

In the hall there was a velvet carpet from the door to the Iron Throne, and the king came in through the bronze door and went straight to the ugly chair.

That throne was built where Aegon the Conqueror had collected the swords of the surrenderers, and sometimes Tyrion wondered if there was Valyrian steel in those swords?

Ever since he saw the sword called "Ice" brought by Ed Stark from the north, Tyrion was sure that the "Winter Night" in Cole's hand was also Valyrian sword. steel.

Similar color, same sharpness.

The condition brought by the wolf family imp is to release his father and sister, plus the return of their family's sword, and at the same time announce that the North will no longer belong to the Iron Throne.

Tyrion felt that they should have a good talk, and it would be best if the ice and Sansa could be exchanged for James.

His room was in the Chancellor's Tower, with Myrish rugs, gold-framed round windows, a council room and attic, but Tyrion would have preferred a woman here.

Lord Tywin had ordered him to bring whores to the castle.

But now, where is Tywin?Tyrion wished he was here.
