Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 185 The Lion's Flying Daggers

Overcast and darkness quickly took hold of the skies over King's Landing.

Ed hugged Sansa, and rode a giant eagle soaring over the Red Castle. On the walls of the Red Castle, on the covered bridges, and on the roof of the castle, there were soldiers equipped with crossbows, stormy yew longbows and even golden heartwood longbows everywhere. A crossbowman, shooting an arrow at a giant eagle in the air.

For the shapechanger and giant eagle in Ed's hands, the little devil is obviously well prepared.At the Wolf King Tournament, Angai, the runner-up in the archery group, was recruited by Ed. However, most of the top fifty were recruited by the little devil. These archers were arranged in the Red Castle. The only purpose was to deal with Ed's giant. eagle.

In King's Landing, Ed only has two giant eagles, and only he and the giant eagle prince Michu can control the giant eagle.When the giant eagle flew from Rhaenys Hill to Aegon's High Hill, it used high altitude flight, and the archers of the Red Keep began to aim and shoot arrows, and now the city is crowded with archers.The giant eagle prince Mi Chu was flying tens of meters away in the air. His eagle was not injured, but he was shot in the arm by an arrow, and it was bleeding.

When the birds and beasts controlled by the skinchanger are attacked, the skinchanger himself feels the same. Some skinchangers with little experience can easily be shaken out of the animal's body by severe pain. The animal loses control, and the skinchanger himself may even go into convulsions. into a state of epilepsy.

Fortunately, Ed has received the guidance of the Green Prophet Beyond the Great Wall and the Dancer of the Thousand-faced Island Wood. His talent for shapechangers is powerful. When the giant eagle is shot by an arrow, he can also use his powerful mind control to control the giant eagle to obey his commands. instruction.

The giant eagle's wing was hit by two arrows, and blood trickled down.

The sky above the Red Keep is full of crossbowmen, how many crossbowmen did Lannister hide in the Red Keep?Whether it's the Lannister soldiers in red robes and lion helmets, the capital guards wearing gold robes, or the mercenary knights, mercenaries, and servants of the Red Castle, they are all shooting arrows into the sky, and arrows are raining down around them. The eagle must not fall.

On the tower, some golden robes were even manipulating the ballista, releasing arrows more than one meter long, but fortunately, the ballista was not very accurate.Several long arrows missed.Because the weapon master, Tob Mott, protected his apprentice Gendry, Lannister was thrown into a black prison. Lannister offended the Blacksmith Guild, so it is no wonder that the quality of the ballista is so poor.

Some of the golden robes on the heads of the Red Castle began to light a fire, boiling the oil in the cauldron on the top of the city. Once the enemy attacked the city, the guards of the Red Castle would close the gates and pour the boiling oil down.Even Maegor Tower was so prepared.

It seems that the little devil has already arranged various defensive facilities in the Red Castle, and Lannister has long been prepared for a surprise attack on the Red Castle.These, Varys the octopus spider never revealed to Ed.

The lion has sharpened its claws long ago, waiting for the prey to strike first.

Before Renly left King's Landing, he once preached that relying on the Winter Wolves, a few Baratheon guards, Tyrell guards, and Stannis' royal fleet could easily capture the Red Keep.Only a sitter like Renly would belittle the Lannisters' power in King's Landing and the Red Keep.

Ed would not choose to fight Lannister in King's Landing, because it is too far away from the base of the northern border, and the king's territory was infiltrated by Lannister with gold. Once Lannister captures Harrenhal, Lannister can Handle the Riverlands, the Dale and King's Landing with ease.

King's Landing is destined to become a hot potato. If nothing else, Renly will block the King's Road from the Stormlands to King's Landing, Tyrell will block the Rose Road, and Stannis will block Blackwater Bay, a city with a population of 50. , doomed to starvation.

Let Lannister and Stannis, Renly, and the Roses of Highgarden fight each other in King's Landing for that ugly iron chair!Ed is going to Harrenhal, bringing the valley and the riverland under the banner of the direwolf,

The giant eagle was bleeding, and Sansa was also bleeding. She was beaten by Joffrey with a barbed whip, and her skin was torn apart with just one blow, and blood flowed from her back and thighs. Ed trembled.

"Father, will the giant eagle die? Will Michu, the prince of the giant eagle, die? It's me who killed you. Joffrey is right. I'm a stupid girl. I always thought that he was the prince in the ballad."

Ed said: "The princes and knights in the ballads are all lying to little girls. Sansa, I hope you remember this lesson today. If there is no giant eagle, you will be locked in the tower by that pervert Joffrey. kind of devastation."

Sansa said sadly: "I didn't expect Prince Joffrey to be this kind of person. Isn't he afraid that King Robert will punish him?"

"King Robert is dead." Eddie said calmly. He witnessed the whole murder through the owl and heard the whole process of the conversation.Damned Lannister woman, ordered her Hercules pet to strangle Robert with Prince Rhaegar's strings.

In the illusion, the silver-haired and purple-eyed man with the harp killed the antler-helmed giant with a single sword. I didn't expect that it was Cersei, the bitter woman, who took revenge in the name of Rhaegar. Cersei breathed a sigh of relief, but it was stupid to do so, because There's nothing Cersei could have done to make people think Robert died by accident or a normal death.

Anyone who could see the scars on Robert's neck and then suspect the true cause of the king's death would shake the loyalty of those who were loyal to Robert.

Lannister is used to buying people's hearts with gold, and never seems to consider how to win people's hearts with benevolence and righteousness.

When Jon Arryn forced Robert to marry Cersei, it was already destined to end like this.Jon Arryn believes that the marriage between Robert and Cersei can prevent Lannister from supporting Targaryen Prince Viserys and Princess Daenerys who are exiled across the Narrow Sea.

The arrogant Lannister woman has always been in love with Prince Rhaegar, and she has resentment in her heart. Ever since she had a child and the heir to the Iron Throne, Cersei has been planning every day how to kill Robert and end this political marriage.

Jon Arryn also lost his life. Jon Arryn was thrown out of the window by his servant Sir Hugh, but the real mastermind behind the scenes was Littlefinger.

Jon Arryn was thrown from the window of the Prime Minister's Tower, fell into the dry moat and was stabbed to death. The crows landed on him, and the feast of crows began.

Littlefinger thought that he could blame Lannister by assassinating Jon Arryn in the Prime Minister's Tower, but he never thought that all of this would be seen by a falcon, which was the bird controlled by Ed one.

Petyr Baelish with a narrow smile on his face, a damn schemer, he doesn't deserve to die cleanly, he will die worse than anyone else, Ed secretly made up his mind.

Petyr Baelish thought that by controlling Jon Arryn's widow, Lysa, and the sickly good Robin, he would control the Vale, and Ed would use the Northern Army to annex the Vale and bring the Vale into the direwolf territory.

In the face of absolute strength, conspiracy and tricks are useless. No matter how many tricks a rabbit has, it can't beat a wolf head-on.

The laughing and enjoying Robert will never be seen again. There is no real king on the Iron Throne, and the Seven Kingdoms collapsed in an instant.

In Robert's rebel army, the four core leaders, Robert, Jon Arryn, Horst Tully, and Ed, only Ed and the Duke of Horst remained. Among them, the Duke of Horst Old and weak, even after his health improved, he would not be able to go to the battlefield again.

The task of reorganizing the mountains and rivers and Kuang Fu Yunei can only fall on Ai De's shoulders.

Ed's mind was full of images of Robert and Jon Arryn.Those who are rough and have a strong sense of honor are destined to be eliminated first in the game of thrones.

well!Dear Robert, noble Lord Arryn, the dead are gone, I can only wipe away the tears of sorrow, you all go in peace!I will support your wife by myself.

In this age when the dead can walk, will Robert and Jon Arryn return in some way?After all, the wooden dancer on Qianmian Islet speculated that Han Tie's golden skull was an undead spell, and Han Tie might become the servant of the cold god.

Robert's body was carried into the throne room and covered with a heavy blanket.Tyrion looked at Robert's body lying on the ground. He had always liked Robert as a big bastard. During the years in King's Landing, Robert treated him fairly well.Now that he was dead, Tyrion couldn't be happier.

Cersei happily sat on the Iron Throne like a little girl, as if the hideous iron chair was her new toy.Tyrion understood that Cersei was happy not only on the Iron Throne, but also because she had just become a widow, and by murdering her husband, she finally got rid of the marriage her father imposed on her.

Cersei said excitedly: "Tyrion, look at me sitting on the Iron Throne, do I look like Aegon the Conqueror?"

Tyrion sighed, "Cersei, I see you like Aegon II, and Rhaenyra the whore who was fighting Aegon II for the Iron Throne. Killing Robert in the King's Hall is the same as doing that." What's the difference between public regicide? It's so stupid."

Cersei's green eyes were filled with disdain.

"Didn't you keep reminding me, Robert and Jon Arryn, that Eddard would disinherit my son Joffrey when he got to Harrenhal? You want me to prevent them from going to Harrenhal."

Tyrion patiently explained, "I want you to prevent them from going to Harrenhal. Robert owes Lannister so much money, but it is becoming more and more difficult to control. Lannister can only kill Robert, but a cup of poison Is alcohol hard? You have to use your Hercules pet to strangle Robert. Killing with poisoned alcohol can be regarded as a normal death, and even a fool can see who is strangled."

Cersei proudly said: "Robert's stupid body is in my hands. I can speak for myself. I will announce to the world that Ed killed Robert. Ed's stupid daughter Sansa , hold it in my hand, if Ed dares to deny it, I will cut off one of Sansa's fingers and give it to Ed."

At this time, screams and groans came from outside the throne room, and Sandor the Hound walked in with Joffrey supported.

Joffrey's scalp was turned aside like a pudding, dripping with blood, and even the skull was exposed. Cersei's happy mood just sitting on the Iron Throne disappeared without a trace, and the smug smile on her face disappeared, and she was filled with fear and suspicion. replace.

Cersei scrambled down the Iron Throne, at a loss, her finger was scratched by a sharp blade, she ignored it, and came to Joffrey.

"What's the matter? Who hurt my Joffrey? Oh! Joffrey, your scalp."

The Hound Sandor said: "Joffrey was in the room, beating Sansa, I stopped Joffrey, and he scolded me to go out. I stayed outside the door for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of the window bursting. When I went in , I saw Ed riding a giant eagle, and Joffrey was injured, torn apart by the claws of the giant eagle. Ed has rescued Sansa."

Seeing that Joffrey was injured, Tyrion was very happy. After all, this tall and handsome nephew became more perverted as he grew up. A few years ago, he dared to laugh at Tyrion for marrying the prostitute Tessa. Ang slapped this ignorant nephew several times, after which Joffrey cried and ran to his mother Cersei to complain.

Tyrion would have liked to see Joffrey hurt, but it would have been a terrible sight to laugh at.Tyrion said solemnly: "The child's scalp has been ripped open. It's terrible."

Cersei's green eyes flashed with anger, "Hound, no wonder The Mountain always says you are trash, you are Joffrey's bodyguard, what do you do for food? Even Joffrey can't protect him well, and let Ai De rescued Sansa easily."

There was anger in the Hound's eyes, and Tyrion thought he was going to bite Cersei.The Hound has always hated the Mountain, and it was a mistake for Cersei to use the Mountain to taunt the Hound.

Tyrion quickly comforted him: "It's not the Hound's fault. The dog has no wings. Hound, you should immediately go to Grand Maester Pycelle and let him treat Joffrey."

The Hound looked at Tyrion contemptuously, "Hmph! I sent Tyrek and Lancel to look for it a long time ago. They said that Grand Maester Pycelle is taking care of Lord Jon Arryn."

Cersei said angrily, "That old bastard, Pacelle, what time is he wasting on Jon Arryn? Didn't I give the order? Catch Jon Arryn and throw him into a dark cell immediately."

The Hound said roughly: "The place of the dark cell can be reserved for others. Jon Arryn is dead. Sir Hugh said that Jon Arryn was thrown out of the window by a soldier in red robe and lion helmet, and a maidservant It is said that Lord Jon Arryn jumped off the building by himself when he was resisting arrest, and he fell into the spikes of the dry moat, and died utterly."

have to!Another blood debt in Ed's eyes made Tyrion very depressed. In fact, Jon Arryn was already over 80 years old. Even if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't live for a few years. This kind of blood debt was really not worth it.

Cersei gently covered Joffrey's scalp with a bleeding hand, and she suppressed her anger, "Since the noble Jon Arryn is dead, there is no need to waste Pycelle's time, just leave it to the silent sisters. Get Grand Maester Pycelle, and Maester Franken, and tell them their heads will be stuck on the wall tomorrow, because Prince Joffrey's treatment was delayed."

The Hound left angrily.

Joffrey's face, pale as a corpse, was weakened by the loss of blood, and Joffrey began to tremble.

"Mom! That giant eagle almost killed me, my scalp hurts so much."

Cersei kissed Joffrey, "Don't worry, you will recover, your golden hair is destined to wear the crown. Your father died, and the crown is yours."

Only then did Joffrey see Robert's body lying on the ground, his eyes flashed with sadness, "Father is dead, am I the king?"

Cersei nodded. "You are the rightful king of the Seven Kingdoms, your father's pride and heir."

Joffrey's face turned red with ecstasy, and for a moment, Tyrion thought Joffrey was going to jump up, and he said excitedly, "I am king, and I must be better than my father, brave and good at fighting like my father, I don't go to whores."

Boy, who are you talking about?Tyrion said depressedly: "Joffrey, what do you want to do most when you become king?"

Joffrey's eyes were full of coldness and resentment, "I want to kill all the wolves and eagles in this world!"

At this time, Ed's giant eagle had already flown out of the rain of arrows over the Red Keep. He wasted some time in avoiding the flying arrows in the air. Eddie sat on the giant eagle's back, overlooking the streets under Aegon's High Hill.

The sky is dark, and darkness is Ed's friend, because darkness will block the enemy's vision. Ed, the skinchanger, can switch the eyes of direwolves, owls, eagles, bears, falcons and other animals at will.Ed's eyes have strong night vision, riding on the back of a giant eagle, overlooking King's Landing below, exactly the same as during the day.

Eddard saw Jaime the Kingslayer in gilt plate armor on a bay horse, followed by thousands of horsemen in red robes and lion helmets, charging down Aegon's High Hill.damn it!How many soldiers did Lannister hide in the Red Keep?
In a mansion under Aegon's high hill, Gregor Clegane, the Devil's Mountain, rode on a tall horse, giving orders to "Sweetheart" Raff, Dunson, Polliver, old Chiswick and other soldiers.The Mountain's cavalry and infantry filled a block.

On Flour Street, Bronn, a mercenary as tough as a bone, dressed in plain leather armor, led hundreds of mercenaries on horseback towards the dragon's lair, but was caught in the flea nest.

During the days when Ed was in King's Landing, the food in the cafeteria of Flea Nest was not free. The wolf king and King Lightning were very popular in Flea Nest. Ed had arranged for Lord Berry, the Lightning King, to notify the people of Flea Nest to come to the streets to collect coins. .The native of Flea Nest hired by the Lightning King, beside him was an ox cart of copper plates, piled up as high as a hill.

The flea nest was blocked by poor people who were smelling badly, waiting to receive the wolf king's coin. The mercenary Bronn cursed loudly, but he couldn't clear the way at all.

The falcon flew to the hills of Visenia, and Ed got the vision there. Hundreds of mercenaries were rushing towards the deserted hall of the Alchemist Guild. From here, you can take the underground passage under the Street of Silent Sisters, directly to the underground of the Dragon Cave.

In the underground passage, it was slippery and sticky. These mercenaries didn't even notice that the wet green substance under their feet was wildfire. They rushed towards the dragon's lair.

Ed and the giant eagle prince Michu rode a giant eagle to the sky above the Reynis Hills. Three hundred winter wolves dressed in golden robes were already waiting for the battle.

Caitlin and Arya were very excited to see Sansa come back safely, they embraced Sansa, Sansa wept with joy, and Lady Direwolf licked Sansa's wound.

"The golden robe can set off and capture the old city gate!" Ed ordered.

The three hundred winter wolves dressed in golden robes immediately got on their horses, led by Sir Baron Swann, Jory Cassel, Sir Tallard, Dermot of the Rainforest and others.

Three hundred "golden robe" cavalry rushed down the Reynis Hill from the north slope.

Eagle King McCain has been manipulating the owl to observe the movements of the enemies around King's Landing.

"Father of Life, my owl in King's Landing in the north of King's Landing has observed that mercenaries and Lannister soldiers in red robes and lion helmets have appeared in Harvard City, Rosby City, and Fort Stokeworth. There are four in total. Teams, each with at least 500 people, intercepted on many roads outside the city."

Is this the king's land or Shituoling?Ed couldn't help lamenting the power of Lannister gold, money is omnipotent.The army outside King's Landing was undoubtedly arranged by Duke Tywin himself, but Ed didn't think that Duke Tywin wanted to kill the king. The only thing Duke Tywin was worried about was the return of the Winter Wolves to Harrenhal. Duke Tywin understood Harrenhal would be the key to the battle.

Ed said: "McCain, inform the commanders of the Winter Wolf Army that we may encounter enemies outside the city. I want to deal with the enemies in the underground passage."

Holding a torch, Ed came to the entrance of the basement of the Dragon Cave. He saw that there were mercenaries in the distance, forming a disorganized team, rushing over.

It is estimated that the entire underground passage under Silent Sisters Street is already full of mercenaries.Lannister tried to use gutter rats to occupy the wolf den, and Ed threw the torch into the dark green wildfire in the distance.

"mercy!"

The wildfire exploded in an instant, and the entire underground passage turned emerald color, screams everywhere, flesh and blood melted, and heat waves swept across.The fire burned along the underground passage from the hills of Rhaenys to the hills of Visenya.

The Winter Wolf Army poured five pots of wildfire into the underground passage, spreading from the ground of the dragon's lair in the Reynis Hills to the underground of the Visenya Hills. The dose of these wildfires was enough to burn the mercenaries underground, but not enough Blow up the underpass, or disaster will happen to the residents of Silent Sister Street above ground.

When Ed returned to the top of the Rhaenys Hill and got on the giant eagle, he saw the alchemists at the foot of the Visenya Hill in the southwest were engulfed in emerald flames, and many mercenaries were on fire, screaming again and again. Charged onto the street, the fire began to spread to nearby blocks.

The deserted guild of the alchemists has long been empty, because the alchemists were sent to Winterfell by Ed. It is estimated that the alchemists did not expect that their ancient guild hall would eventually be destroyed by the alchemists. Proud to be on wildfire!
The flames won't spread to the Great Sept of Baelor on the hill, will they?Oh shit!Anyway, the Seven Gods never cared about the life and death of the people, so if you want to burn it, just burn it!
The block near the old city gate is the traditional wealthy area of ​​King's Landing. Lannister once sent mercenaries here, but was met with protests from many rich merchants, nobles, and church personnel in this block, and the mercenaries had to withdraw from the old city gate. nearby.

The "Golden Robe" of the Winter Wolf Army rushed from the dragon's lair to the old city gate on horseback, unimpeded.

The captain in charge of guarding the old city gate is Aral Dim, who is the minion of the commander of the capital defense force, Janos Slynt. He often visits brothels without paying money, and even killed many civilians in the flea nest , Even the baby is not spared.

Three hundred "golden robe" cavalry came to the old city gate, each cavalry's face was hidden under the helmet's mask, Alar Dim looked at the team suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Jory Cassel said, "At King Robert's order, we'll replace the old gate. You'll be transferred to the Red Keep."

Aral Dim said with a smile: "Okay! Let me see the official document!"

"Look at your mother's official document!" Sir Tallard stabbed Aral Dim's heart with a single shot. Dozens of gold robes beside the city gate were disguised by the Winter Wolf Army before they could react. His golden robes fell to the ground, and the Winter Wolf Army easily occupied the old city gate.

Under the rule of Commander-in-Chief of the City Watch, Jonos Slynt, the City Watch was poorly disciplined and poorly trained.The golden robes on the city wall fled instantly, and some patrolling golden robes tried to regain the city gate, but were repelled by the Lightning King, Domilik, and Laresa leading the Winter Wolf Army.

Then the Northern Winter Wolf Cavalry, protecting Caitlin, Sansa, and Arya, began to file out from the old city gate.

The two thousand mercenaries that Lannister placed in the block near the dragon gate were led by the three brothers Osmund Kettleblack from the valley. As soon as they heard of the accident at the old city gate, they rushed to kill them in the dark.

A torrent of steel flooded the old city gates.The Lightning King, Dermot of the Rainforest, and Soros the Red Priest fought hard, while Domilik, Anguy, and Laresa shot and killed dozens of mercenaries one after another with bows and arrows in the back row.

The mercenaries fought hard. At this time, the direwolf was walking at night, Nymeria and the lady came out from the darkness, and slit the throats of several mercenaries. Byers, the bear king, rode a brown bear, and Ed used telepathy to control the black and white two. The bear attacked, and the mercenaries lost their courage and began to collapse.

In order to prevent the enemy from pursuing, Ed set fire to the old city gate.

A group of Lannister cavalry in red robes and lion helmets came from the direction of Fort Stokeworth. Led by Lannister Captain Trager, they blocked the way on the King's Road. Sir Balon Swann led the way, holding a mace in one hand, Holding a long sword in one hand, he rushed into the enemy's formation like a whirlwind. Afterwards, the Lightning King, Soros rushed to kill with a flame sword, and the Winter Wolf Army rushed to kill and scattered the enemy.

In the throne room, Ser Barristan, Captain of the Kingsguard, looked at King Robert's body lying on the floor of the throne room with a look of horror.

"Queen, who killed King Robert?"

Cersei's eyes were blurred, "It's Ed. Robert was drinking and eating food in the hall. Ed urged Robert to go north to the Isle of Thousand Faces. Robert wanted to hunt and didn't want to go to the Isle of Thousand Faces. Like a madman, he snapped the strings of the lyre he had brought, and strangled King Robert."

Yo!Tyrion fell in love with Cersei's acting more and more. At this moment, she is simply the saddest widow in the world.

Ser Barristan took up the harp and its bloody strings. He stroked the sapphire on the harp, engraved with the winter rose.

Suspicion flashed in Ser Barristan's eyes.

"Queen, King Robert is a very strong man. It takes a lot of strength to strangle King Robert with this kind of strings. Can Eddard do it?"

Cersei said seriously: "Sir Barristan, don't forget that Ed is a wolf spirit. There is no doubt about his strength, otherwise he wouldn't have won the championship in the tournament."

Barristan glanced at the Kingsguard. "I remember, in the hall, Meryn Tran and Boros Brawne were protecting King Robert. What were they doing?"

"Our valiant Kingsguard, Ser Boros Braun, was in charge of protecting me, and Ser Meryn Tran rushed up, but was thrown down by the eagle, and Eddard strangled Robert, jumped on the eagle and flew away. Now, Ed still wanted to kill Joffrey, Joffrey's scalp was ripped off by Ed's giant eagle."

Ser Barristan said, "Queen, are you sure this is Eddard's harp?"

Cersei said, "Yes, or, did Robert take it out himself? At the time, it was so confusing, I don't remember."

Sir Barristan said seriously: "Queen, you are lying. This harp belongs to Prince Rhaegar. I have protected Prince Rhaegar for many years. Of course I know this harp. Prince Rhaegar's harp was originally a three-headed dragon emblem. After he met Miss Lyanna, he engraved the winter snow rose coat of arms with sapphires, and the winter snow rose is Lyanna's symbol."

"King Robert also knew the harp. When he saw it in the warehouse, he was very angry. He called the harp the dragon's relic. He ordered it to be thrown away in a dark corner like the dragon's bone. How could Lord De strangle Robert with Prince Rhaegar's harp? Besides, when Ed left the Red Keep, I saw with my own eyes that he didn't have the time to assassinate."

Cersei opened her nostrils, "Sir Barristan, pay attention to your words. I accept your question because of your status as the captain of the Kingsguard. Don't push yourself too far. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else, Boss." Ser Ross, Ser Meryn, Thabeet the Hercules, and Rustu, can all testify."

Sir Barristan said: "I have worked with Sir Marlin and Sir Boros for many years. I know that they are from Lannister. As for these two strong men, they are the queen's pets. You want me to believe this kind of people Testimony? I suspect that the murderer is the two Hercules, but I noticed that the hands of the Hercules are all strangled."

Cersei said angrily, "I think you're crazy about death. Kingsguard, take Barristan and throw him in the dungeon!"

Jaime led the army, Meryn Tran with the rust beard, Boros Braun with the belly, Mandon Moore with the dead fish eyes, and Ser Princeton Greenfield with the short stature, and the four Kingsguard took Barry. Sir Stan was in the middle, and Alys Oakheart, who had a strong sense of honor, remained motionless, as if hesitating.

Ser Barristan drew his sword.

This is beautiful, the old king died, and the crown prince had not yet ascended the throne, the Royal Guard was split.How many of Barristan's opponents would there be in a fight?Barristan was old, but the Kingsguard was full of good-for-nothings.

Tyrion hurriedly stopped him, "Cersei, Ser Barristan is only doing his duty, why are you in such a rush to throw him into the dungeon? Tell Sir Barristan to pray in the sept, and he will naturally realize It was my own mistake."

Ser Barristan, persuaded by Ser Arys and Tyrion, leaves the throne room and disappears into the night.

Cersei complained, "Tyrion, you actually let Barristan go, did you let him talk nonsense outside?"

Tyrion said: "If the king is dead, and the Lannisters throw the famous Ser Barristan Selmy into the dungeon, what will the people think? In the Seven Kingdoms, Barristan the Bold But if Joffrey is the only knight in the ranks, if he wants to successfully succeed to the throne, he must recruit more people like this."

The white-bearded Grand Maester Pycelle and the young Franken Maester returned to the throne room, and Cersei asked quickly, "How is Joffrey?"

Bachelor Franken served Earl Gales Rosby. Because Earl Gales Rosby stayed in Robert's court all year round and suffered from cough and illness, Franken lived with his master in the Red Castle, sometimes for the royal family. Member Services.

Grand Maester Pycelle said tremblingly: "We had to shave Prince Joffrey's head. Fortunately, the injury to the skull was not serious. We gave Prince Joffrey and drank poppy milk, and we have treated the wound. Stitched."

Cersei said excitedly: "Will it affect Joffrey wearing the crown?"

Maester Franken showed embarrassment, "In another month, Prince Joffrey's wound will heal, but unfortunately, there will be a very obvious scar in the future. From the perspective of healing, of course it is not suitable to wear a hat , not fit to wear a crown."

Cersei said sadly: "The king must bear the weight of the crown."

The bald Joffrey, the Joffrey with the scar on his head, it is estimated that this kid will be even more gloomy and crazy in the future, Tyrion was very depressed, and he also suspected that Ed had deliberately spared Joffrey's life, because Joffrey Tommen would take the throne when Riley died, Tommen was much younger and tamer, and the Lannister rule would be more stable.

Did Ed make a Lannister version of the "Mad King" himself?
Cersei shed crystal tears, this time showing her true feelings. She said viciously: "If Ed and his daughter are captured, I will personally operate the knife and scalp them. The battle outside the Red Castle How? Have you captured the Reynis Hills?"

After a while, Lancel came running in hastily.

"Queen, there was a riot in Flea Nest because someone handed out copper plates and blocked the road. At first, the mercenary captain Bronn tried to disperse the crowd, but all failed. After the Magic Mountain arrived at Flea Nest, he and his soldiers stabbed to death Several people in the way, the people began to fight back, the flea nests caught fire, a dozen people died in the Magic Mountain and Bolong, and hundreds of people died in the mob."

"Sir James stopped the atrocities and drove the people in the flea nest back to their homes. Then Sir James led troops to capture the Rhaenis Hills, but the Rhaenis Hills were empty, and Ed's winter wolves The army has already captured the old city gate and fought out from the old city gate."

Cersei said sullenly: "A bunch of trash! The Winter Wolf Army only has 1000 people, and our number of mercenaries alone is seven times that of the enemy, not to mention the people of the capital defense team and the Lannister Guard, who actually let Ed run away. "

Tyrion said depressedly: "Sister, you were the one who persuaded King Robert to go to the Dragon Lair to hatch the dragon. I have reminded you that the Rhaenys Hill is next to the old city gate, and the Dragon Gate and the Steel gates, especially the old city gates, because most of the wealthy people in King’s Landing gather near the old city gates, and there is no way for Lannister’s mercenaries to hide there.”

"The Winter Wolf Army fought hard to break through and attack the old city gate. This will be the result. You expect the golden robe to block Thoros, Lightning King, Baron Sven and his like?"

Lancel said: "The Alchemists' Guild was engulfed by the wildfire. The fire spread to the Street of Silent Sisters, and even spread to the Baelor Cathedral on the Visenya Hills. The monks and nuns are struggling to put out the fire."

Tyrion was shocked and said: "I clearly sent [-] mercenaries to use the underground passage of the Alchemist Guild to sneak attack on the dragon's lair."

Lancel said contemptuously: "Most of these mindless mercenaries died underground. I heard from the mercenaries who escaped that there was alchemist's feces underground. Obviously, Ed arranged wildfires in advance."

Tyrion was very depressed when he thought that his scheme was actually seen through by the god-damned Ed.

After Lancel left, Cersei said: "Father has hidden a lot of troops in King's Landing, and there are people from Stokeworth, Harvard, Sow's Corner, and Rosby. Is the army capable of defeating the Winter Wolf Army and capturing Ed and his wife and daughter?"

Tyrion shook his head, "It's already late at night, whether it's a mercenary or a soldier, what can we do when we encounter giant eagles, bears, and direwolves from the Winter Wolf Army?"

Cersei narrowed her eyes, "Tyrion, on the first day Ed came to King's Landing, I planned to poison those direwolves, bears and giant eagles. You stopped me!"

Tyrion said: "But you still sent a killer later. I remember that the killer you found in the flea nest took poisonous pieces of meat and went to Rhaenys Hill, and never came back."

Cersei snorted softly, "Ed fled to Harrenhal with his beasts, and I'm not worried. It just so happens that we can put the crime of murdering Robert on Ed's head."

Tyrion stared into those one green and one black eyes, "Just like Ed killed Jon Arryn?"

Cersei said: "It's not my fault that Jon Arryn fell to death on the spikes of the moat. I originally planned to throw this old bastard into a black prison. This is a very valuable hostage. Who Know which hotheaded soldier killed Jon Arryn."

Tyrion snorted, "We better hope that Lysa Arryn cow thinks the same way, she returned to the Eyrie with her epileptic kid, Jon Arryn dead, good Robin But it’s the Eagle’s Nest City and the Duke of the Vale. If that kid raises his arms, tens of thousands of Canyon knights will be willing to fight for Jon Arryn.”

"And Ed, Ed will undoubtedly blame us for the death of Jon Arryn. Ed was a servant in the Eagle's Nest City when he was a child, you'd better remember this."

Cersei was a little anxious, "This account should not be blamed on Lannister!"

Tyrion said: "Actually, I know who the murderer of Jon Arryn is. I can guess that it is Littlefinger. I heard that Ser Hugh lost his armor and horse in the tournament, and he was in debt for more than a dozen years." Jin Long, he has gotten very close to Littlefinger recently. From the beginning to the end, it was Littlefinger who instigated all this in King's Landing, and he thought we couldn't touch him."

Cersei said: "You're just guessing, you have no proof. I hate Littlefinger very much. I'm tired of that self-righteous smile, but Littlefinger is useful. We need him to count pennies. But Littlefinger He has the ability to conjure golden dragons out of thin air."

"Besides, this is an extraordinary time. My son Joffrey will ascend the throne tomorrow. He will sit on the Iron Throne and wear the crown. We need Littlefinger's help."

Tyrion showed a sweet smile, "You will be crowned tomorrow? Are you not afraid that the pressure of the crown will make Joffrey's wound infected? Both the Grand Maester Pycelle and the Franken Maester have said that Joffrey's head needs to be healed." .”

Cersei said: "I have asked Joffrey, he desires the crown, because wearing the crown, can revenge."

In the dark night, Tyrion stood alone on the battlements at the head of the Red Castle, looking at King's Landing under the night sky.

The flea nest is burning, the Street of Silent Sisters is burning, the old city gate is burning, even the Mud Gate is burning.

Flames, flames everywhere, this is the prelude to war.

Eddard fled to Harrenhal, which posed a big problem for Tyrion, because Tyrion had hoped that Eddard's attempt to take the Red Keep would be a city in which the Starks would lose.

When Stark attacked the Red Castle, he would definitely send a shapechanger. Tyrion had carefully inquired that Ed used a wildfire weapon when dealing with the shapechangers during the Northern Expedition outside the Great Wall.Now these skinchangers are working for Ed, and Tyrion also plans to use flames to deal with the fierce beasts of the skinchangers. Animals are afraid of fire.

The hot tar and flaming arrows will make Stark's fierce beasts helpless in the siege battle.Lannister's nearly ten thousand mercenaries ambushing in King's Landing, Lannister's personal soldiers, can easily handle the winter wolf army with only a thousand people.

Once the Winter Wolf Army is smashed in the Red Castle and Ed is captured, Ed will be thrown into prison as a traitor. In this way, Lannister holds Ed Stark in his hand, and Robb, the little wolf cub in the North Don't dare to act rashly.

Without a strong leader in the north, the riverlands and valleys will be honest, and Lannister can be free to deal with Stannis and Renly of the Baratheon family.The inheritance rights of these two are not only justified, but also hold heavy troops, and their territories are next to King's Landing.

Tyrion couldn't help admiring Tywin's ruthlessness. At the beginning, when he learned that the northern border was constantly building wolf castles, building ships, and recruiting troops, Tywin became wary of the rise of the northern border. He believed that the strength of the direwolves would break the domestic situation. balance.

When Robert invited Ed to go south, Duke Tywin believed that Ed had ambitions in the south, and Robert probably wanted to use Ed to get rid of his dependence on Lannister.

From the moment Robert invited Ed to go south, Lannister began to lay out in this city with a population of 50, hiding mercenaries and Lannister soldiers in every block, church, slums and warehouses, pier
It would be a huge disaster not to trap Ed and let him occupy a city like Harrenhal.Fortunately, Duke Tywin arranged for Sir Lile Creher, the "strong pig", to lead six hundred elite soldiers at Sow's Corner, which was very close to Harrenhal, so he could capture Harrenhal immediately.

Strong Pig is considered to be one of the strongest knights in the western region. He is brave and good at fighting. The elite soldiers under him are veterans who have participated in the suppression of King Balon's rebellion and even Robert's uprising. They have rich experience.

According to the information brought by Varys, Ed left hundreds of Winter Wolf Army in Harrenhal to assist the Countess of He'an in defending the castle. The commander of the Winter Wolf Army is a wild man named White Mask Morona.

No matter how strong Harrenhal was, the wildlings couldn't hold it.Tyrion believed that when Ed brought the Winter Wolf Army to Harrenhal, the strong pig should have captured the castle, facing the largest castle in Westeros with the banner of Lannister's roaring lion , I guess Ed will want to cry but have no tears!

Even if the strong pigs can't capture the castle, the mercenary group on the other side of the narrow sea, Wagner's chef group and the colorful group with green beards will soon reach the riverland. Once these mercenaries arrive, Harrenhal and the surrounding ferry It will definitely fall, and it will be difficult for Ed to break out of the encirclement. The Lannister Lion can still complete the hunt for the direwolf.

Tyrion was standing in the battlements at the head of the city, his mind was full of planning and hunting. James came up behind Tyrion, "Brother, you are here in the middle of the night to watch the scenery alone, are you afraid of falling?"

Tyrion said, "You're back? It looks like you missed Eddard, Catelyn and their daughter."

James said: "I took the cavalry and went outside King's Landing and chased along the King's Road for a while. The ambushes placed by Lannister on the King's Road were defeated by the Winter Wolf Army. Many soldiers were killed by direwolves and bears. , It's too dangerous to chase fierce beasts at night, so I had no choice but to return."

Tyrion said: "Speaking of beasts, Joffrey was scalped by the eagle."

"I heard about it," James said.

Tyrion smirked and said, "Brother James, we all know that Joffrey is your son, why don't you care about Joffrey?"

James' expression was a little disdainful, "You think I don't want to. When Joffrey was very young, I wanted to hold him. Wasn't it driven away by Cersei every time? Cersei said, Joffrey and I grow too much Like, shouldn't be holding him. If Robert finds out, Joffrey will lose his claim to the Iron Throne."

"Frankly speaking, who the hell cares about that hideous iron chair? I killed a king right in front of the Iron Throne. Cersei never let me touch my children, just because I would delay their inheritance."

"Your son will be king tomorrow," said Tyrion.

Jaime said, "The king will attract an attack. Think what will happen to Aerys and Robert."

The next day the bells of the Red Keep began to be tolled, joined by the seven bells of the Great Sept of Baelor, announcing the death of King Robert and the crowning of King Joffrey.

The capital guards cleaned up the flea nests and the corpses of the old city gates. A large number of rioters were hanged at the top of the city or thrown into prisons. The city returned to normal overnight.

The new king was about to be crowned, and the first bad thing happened. Ser Barristan Selmy, Captain of the Kingsguard, left without saying goodbye. He went north from the old city gate, and it seemed that he was going to chase Eddard.

Cersei complained: "Ser Barristan decided that Robert was murdered by Lannister, and he went to the Starks. Tyrion, it's because of you idiot, you let me let him go, when he When you shine your sword, you should be executed!"

Tyrion said: "The Kingsguard is a lifelong position. How could I have expected that Barristan would voluntarily give up the position of the Kingsguard? There is no use complaining about me. Pick a Kingsguard quickly."

Originally, Joffrey preferred the Hound, but because Ed's giant eagle scratched Joffrey's scalp, Cersei always resented the Hound for negligence, and the Hound itself was not a knight, so the white robe of the Kingsguard was given to Flame Nulustu.

This flame slave is not a knight either, James himself canonized him, a slave became the Kingsguard in this way.

The nobles whispered, they didn't understand the merits of Rustu, who had tattoos on his neck and a bushy beard, but he turned himself into the Kingsguard.

Rustu's greatest achievement was strangling King Robert to death together with Thabeet, another Hercules.By regicide to win the position of protecting the new king, Cersei, it is yours.

Seventy-seven nuns and monks were there, the seven archbishops of the church, and the archbishop was a fat bumbling bastard, and he went on and on, announcing that the gods had laid King Robert to rest and would bless Joffrey.

However, when Joffrey appeared in front of the crowd, everyone gasped.

Joffrey was in robes of crimson and gold brocade, with the roaring lion of House Lannister engraved in gold on the left, and the crowned stag of House Baratheon in freshwater pearls on the right, with gorgeous crystals on his shoulders. The cloak, fastened with brooches of onyx lions and sapphire stags, was richly clothed.

Joffrey looked scary in such bright clothes.Joffrey's golden hair was gone, and to clean the wound on his scalp, the maester had shaved off his golden Lannister hair, which was covered with needles and thread, and his face was pale and lifeless, as if wrapped in a In the shroud, it looked horrific.

Almost every noble looked at Joffrey with surprised eyes. This is the look at monsters. Tyrion was very familiar with this kind of eyes. He felt pity for Joffrey from the bottom of his heart. He was just about to become king. He became a monster in the eyes of everyone.

The High Septon crowned Joffrey, a diadem of solid gold, with lions and stags prancing upon it.Joffrey stepped onto the Iron Throne amidst the cheers of the crowd.

As soon as he sat down, blood began to ooze from the scalp on his forehead, and the blood flowed down his cheeks, causing the nobles to cry in astonishment.

The Iron Throne has rejected Joffrey, Tyrion thought darkly.

Harrenhal, White Mask Morona and Willy Ward, stood in the killing hole in the wall, directing the crossbowmen to aim at the enemy below.

The city wall of Harrenhal was as high as a cliff, and tens of meters below, there were layers of small rooms for archers to aim and shoot.The room where Sir Willy Ward and Morona the White Mask are located is on the third floor of the city wall.

The commander of the Western Territory outside the city was Lile Kreher, the "Strong Pig". On his silver-gray armor and shield were the wild boar coat of arms of the Kreher family.

Lile Crane called to the castle, "Listen, men in the walls, King Robert is dead, and a new king, Joffrey, has come. In the king's name, I command you to open the gates."

Sir Willie Ward said: "In King's Landing, it's rumored that Joffrey is a bastard, and we don't listen to the bastard king. We serve the Countess of Hean and Eddard the Wolf King."

Lile Crane stretched out his finger, "Ed is a traitor, and he murdered King Robert. More troops are gathering. Duke Tywin's tens of thousands of troops are marching towards Harrenhal. What you see , just an advance team."

The white mask Morona roared: "How dare you slander the father of life! Hypocritical knight, take your advance team, get out!"

An arrow hit the strong pig's shield, and the strong pig was furious, "Siege the city!"

The catapults of the Lannister soldiers began to move forward slowly, and the soldiers loaded the boulders.

Morona was a little worried, "Such a big rock won't smash through the city wall, right?"

Ser Willi Ward said, "Relax, Harrenhal has never feared a siege machine but a dragon's flame. A trebuchet throws no stone worthy of a tickle."

Sure enough, the stone hit the city wall and bounced off harmlessly.

The trebuchets smashed all afternoon, to no avail.

At night, Zhuangzhu ordered the soldiers to start collecting firewood and prepare to set fire to the city. Suddenly, a wolf howled from behind, and a troop of cavalry from the north came, causing the army in the west to be in chaos.

The direwolf tore off the arm of a cavalryman at night, and the black bear Randolph smashed the head of a crossbowman with his palm, and began to lick the brain and blood.

The Zhuang Zhu commanded the soldiers in the western region, and tried their best to resist the cavalry in the north. More cavalry appeared in the south. When the defenders of Harrenhal saw that the reinforcements had arrived, they attacked from the side gate. Soon, the army in the western region was completely defeated. Zhuang Zhu led his own soldiers to break through , was shot through a gap in the plate armor with an arrow by Laresa of Dorne, and fell off the horse screaming.

Wolf King Ed enveloped Zhuang Zhu, "Sir Lile Creher, you did not do well in the tournament, and here, you did even worse. There is no scout in the north?"

Strong Pig snorted, "The little devil reminds me that you might appear in the south."

Wolf King Ed laughed and said, "So I sent light cavalry to go around behind you. Harrenhal is mine, and the power of the old gods is strong here, and Lannister will never be able to take it."

The strong pig sullenly said, "Don't be complacent, the wolf king, Wagner and Greenbeard's mercenary group are coming soon, you are too few, Harrenhal will belong to Lannister sooner or later."
